today’s episode is about fire-breathing dragons let’s talk about that good mythical morning thank you for making us a part of your daily routine the answer is yes and thank you for being a liar now lions not good but listen we all do it okay so I never do let’s just be honest with ourselves about lying occasionally hopefully nothing more little white lies but I don’t want to get into all of that what I do want to get into is I have discovered that there is an official world’s biggest liar competition held annually every November in Cumbria England I yes competitors from around the world each take five minutes to tell their best lie basically at all tell and then there’s a panel of judges that decide who is the world’s biggest liar for that particular year yeah there’s there’s rules involved there’s no script and you cannot be a politician or a lawyer this is true they are not allowed to enter the competition because quote they are judged to be too skilled at telling porkies Porky’s Porky’s I guess is a liar maybe they’re lying about what Porky’s means that’s what I call it a pig in a blanket okay so they all to competition we can’t go but we can hold our own little mini competition here and you can be the judge we’re going to take a few minutes and tell a tall tale you let us know who is the best liar I’m ready okay I’ll let you go first you lie to your kids a lot I do your practice to do this I lie to you all the time to you just don’t know it I do know it junior year in college I’m working alone in the basement of man Hall the civil engineering building and I am in the hydrology demonstration lab where the hydrology demonstration tank is okay it’s just basically a metal tank that can be tilted and has watering and I’m in there late at night working on a lab project by myself my group had left and I hear voices coming from what seems like the tank but I’m in the basement and there’s nobody else in the basement there’s no vents that I can see anything coming from it seems like there’s voices coming from the tank and I think maybe I’m just this is late at night something’s going on I go up to it and I’m like distinctly I can hear people talking and it sounds like it coming from the metal I put my ear up to the metal tang which is attached to the wall itself and I hear a voice that I recognized Ravi Patel nuclear engineering major who is in my suite he’s a suite mate hmm and I’m like what are they talking about because he’s not using his name he’s calling him something weird I can’t quite make it out I listen for a while and it sounds like there have they’re talking some kind of code and having almost like a secret society type meeting and I’m like I listen and then eventually they walk away and I have no idea where they’re at I go back the next night the same thing over the next couple of weeks I begin to put together these details I figure out that these guys are meeting and something I hadn’t heard about in rumors that there’s an underground network of tunnels underneath the campus but on the 1800s and they are in the this underground network of tunnels and they are something called the left-brain Society they call themselves the left-brain Society and I found out through listened to these conversations that they had forgot our way to hack the university’s intranet and to change grades and they also figured out a way to hack into the nuclear reactor controls in the Burlington labs you know the nuclear reactor that’s on NC State’s campus yeah so I’m like I’ve never wanted to be something part of something so bad in my life so I decide I’m gonna confront Ravi one night I go into his room I say Ravi I know about the left-brain Society and I want in and if you don’t let me in I’m going to go public and he was like dude we were about to approach you and ask you to be a part of this I can’t tell you about the initiation process I can’t tell you about the initiation process I can’t tell you about the different access points to the underground network because those things I was sworn to secrecy about but I can tell you that this is one of the major reasons that I never went to class my junior and senior year but I made straight A’s it’s also the reason that there was that episode of the nuclear reactor almost melting down yeah because we had the ability to cut off the cooling mechanism to the reactor and we would do it and we would wait and right at the last second we would just reverse the ground just for kicks left-brain society so have you violated some some terms by telling us even this much of the story is disbanded its disbanded yeah i disbanded it by telling the story no last year hmm I don’t think I ever told you the story when I was on the set of Saturday Night Live I had heard this one back in 2008 we had made our documentary looking for miss Locklear and it got a place in a film festival in New York remember you couldn’t go but I took Christy we went to this thing and there was a there was a screening there but listen here’s the thing nobody was there and the projection that came out to me after he felt I was ia I feel sorry for you nobody’s here don’t feel bad it’s a small film festival no care but and and you may think I’m making fun of the way he talks not but he just talked like he was doing a bad impression of a New York yeah oh and it’s so it’s it’s pretty spot-on if I must say so myself so he he said you know what to cheer you up I know a friend of a friend I’m gonna give you some tickets to guess what Saturday Night Live and I mean growing up that we loved Saturday Night Live so much we’d always talked about it on Sundays we would obsess over it so this is kind of like your dream come true so Christy I get to go I’m like this is a big deal for me so we go to this thing we go that night we go to 30 rock 30 Rockefeller Center you have to take a train under there to get to it underground train specifically for SNL to go there something about like control I don’t know they don’t like to sound like get in because they shoot it during the day even though they say it’s live and it’s at night I don’t know it’s all afar’s so we get in there Mike Myers is the host and he was promoting I think the movie The Love Guru something cougar like that I didn’t see the movie but that’s why he was there he was no longer on the cast he was coming back to promote his movie and I mean the things going to lay does an opening number with a song and everything and I’m really into it having the time of my life and then they cut to commercial and everything takes a little bit longer like like I said it’s not live it’s just it’s taped before a live studio audience that’s something I learned they go to a break and then I can see that they’re not coming back and they’re they’re trying to get stuff straightened everything is ready for this for the next skit but they’re not going to it they’re not going to it and then the producer comes out and says we have to make an announcement we can’t do the next sketch the biggest one of the night because the co-star did not show up they were going to do a throwback to Wayne’s World yeah a sketch with Mike Myers and Dana Carvey come about yeah said Dana missed his flight really he could not do it and the producer says listen nobody wants to step in and play the part of Garth because let’s face it I mean it’s a really famous part no none of the other SNL players would want to step into that role and step on Dana Carvey shoot step on his feet right step into his shoes Yeah right whatever the case may be I’ll give you some tickets if you can figure that out yeah so the producer is looking around with an apologetic look on her face until she makes eye contact with me and listen I get it in the comments a lot I know you’re you already know where this story is going why because you and everybody else says I look like garth from wayne’s world yeah and I knew from the look on the producers face she was thinking the same thing and you know it’s like the blood left my body I was immediately nervous but I was like Christy I have to do this really I have to do this and so I just went up there I knew what she was going to ask I just so I walked up there they set me up in the blonde wig and the black glasses really and I meet Mike Myers and we’re doing the sketch and I only have one line which is great you know I’m not gonna remember in lies Yeah right my one line was if she if she was the president she’d be Baberaham Lincoln and now that’s the only thing I had to remember and when they got to that part they kept doing it again and again and I was like I this is alive why do they keep doing again yeah they weren’t happy with my performance or something and but eventually I got it and like Mike was like you nailed it man thanks so much for doing this and then I went back up into the crowd and I watched the rest of the thing and everyone’s like looking at me and they’re like wow that’s never happened before and then a few weeks later like no I guess it was the next within the next week is when they are the episode yeah and you are I wasn’t oh they cut the sketch entirely that’s why you never see me on Saturday cliven why I’ve never told anybody because I mean it I I considered a personal failure and it’s not the type of thing I want to talk about I mean it’s not a lie it’s just that I’m not comfortable sharing it with everybody because I mean I blew my chance that’s sad link but I’ll share it with you today for no good reason but also not true now it’s true I have
