3
00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:46,292
Speaker 1: 10 years of Talk About That episodes airing most every week,

4
00:00:46,872 --> 00:00:49,652
Speaker 1: Johnny and I have hit an especially busy season in

5
00:00:49,692 --> 00:00:51,612
Speaker 1: both of our lives that has required us to take

6
00:00:51,672 --> 00:00:54,692
Speaker 1: a little hiatus from weekly episodes. Hey, but fear not.

7
00:00:55,232 --> 00:00:57,672
Speaker 1: We'd still like to bring you some of the best

8
00:00:57,832 --> 00:00:59,732

15
00:01:24,562 --> 00:01:26,942
Speaker 3: Today on Talk About That, John gets secret messages in

16
00:01:26,982 --> 00:01:31,222
Speaker 3: his ear during worship and ponders whether we need merch. Meanwhile,

17
00:01:31,282 --> 00:01:33,642
Speaker 3: I get interviewed by an 80s comedy icon and tell

18
00:01:33,682 --> 00:01:37,482
Speaker 3: you the demographic of my fan base. Plus a conversation

19
00:01:37,502 --> 00:01:42,042
Speaker 3: about reactionaryism, revolution, and choosing hope over fear. Today's episode

20
00:01:42,082 --> 00:01:44,862
Speaker 3: is not sponsored by Grapefruit. If you like oranges, try

21
00:01:44,922 --> 00:01:47,572
Speaker 3: their bitter overweight cousin. But first, a word from our

22
00:01:47,632 --> 00:01:48,392
Speaker 3: actual sponsor.

23
00:01:51,892 --> 00:01:52,412
Speaker 2: Grapefruit.

24
00:01:56,002 --> 00:01:58,642
Speaker 1: Well, you made it back for another episode. Thanks, man,

25
00:01:58,682 --> 00:02:01,562
Speaker 1: for finding us on your podcast app.

26
00:02:01,842 --> 00:02:02,922
Speaker 3: Or whoever you are.

27
00:02:03,302 --> 00:02:03,482
Speaker 1: Yeah.

28
00:02:03,502 --> 00:02:05,442
Speaker 3: Why do you think it's all men? What do you

29
00:02:05,462 --> 00:02:05,822
Speaker 3: think are.

30
00:02:05,852 --> 00:02:08,851
Speaker 2: I didn't say men. You said, thanks, man. Oh, well,

31
00:02:08,872 --> 00:02:09,772
Speaker 2: it's an expression.

32
00:02:09,812 --> 00:02:10,072
Speaker 1: I say.

33
00:02:10,651 --> 00:02:13,232
Speaker 2: Hey, guys. I say, what's up, dude, to my daughter sometimes.

34
00:02:13,292 --> 00:02:13,872
Speaker 3: That's true.

35
00:02:13,892 --> 00:02:16,972
Speaker 2: Does she call you bruh? Yeah, sometimes. Really, bruh?

36
00:02:17,012 --> 00:02:18,592
Speaker 3: What do you think the dynamics are if we were

37
00:02:18,612 --> 00:02:20,791
Speaker 3: to divide it up? Like, who is listening to the show?

38
00:02:20,832 --> 00:02:22,132
Speaker 3: Do we have any data like that?

39
00:02:22,192 --> 00:02:25,952
Speaker 2: I don't think we have... The dynamics of male versus female. Huh.

40
00:02:26,452 --> 00:02:28,032
Speaker 2: Versus is a strong word. Sorry, guys.

41
00:02:28,072 --> 00:02:30,131
Speaker 3: That's true. I don't know why we... It's not battle

42
00:02:30,151 --> 00:02:30,322
Speaker 3: of sexes.

43
00:02:30,341 --> 00:02:31,702
Speaker 2: No, I'm trying to hit you against each other.

44
00:02:31,722 --> 00:02:33,292
Speaker 3: Do we want to... Would we want to see it?

45
00:02:33,942 --> 00:02:34,262
Speaker 1: I don't know.

46
00:02:34,281 --> 00:02:36,382
Speaker 3: Because, you know, I have it for my social media

47
00:02:36,401 --> 00:02:38,382
Speaker 3: pages because it dials it in for you.

48
00:02:38,602 --> 00:02:39,982
Speaker 2: Well, what's the... What do you think?

49
00:02:40,002 --> 00:02:43,322
Speaker 3: If you were to guess, what is the average median

50
00:02:43,401 --> 00:02:45,232
Speaker 3: block of ages for my fans and what do you

51
00:02:45,252 --> 00:02:46,872
Speaker 3: think the average gender?

52
00:02:47,452 --> 00:02:48,892
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to say... Or the 70-30, 80-20, whatever

53
00:02:48,912 --> 00:02:49,191
Speaker 2: it is.

54
00:02:49,212 --> 00:02:50,172
Speaker 3: I'm going to say it's 65-35 women.

55
00:02:54,492 --> 00:02:57,232
Speaker 1: And I'm going to say women 30 to 35.

56
00:02:57,232 --> 00:03:01,412
Speaker 2: It is 70-30. Women?

57
00:03:01,572 --> 00:03:01,832
Speaker 3: Women.

58
00:03:02,412 --> 00:03:02,702
Speaker 2: Close.

59
00:03:02,862 --> 00:03:07,121
Speaker 3: And it is the biggest chunk of them are, yeah,

60
00:03:07,122 --> 00:03:09,402
Speaker 3: 35 and up. So really 40 to 60.

61
00:03:09,382 --> 00:03:10,482
Speaker 2: Okay.

62
00:03:11,682 --> 00:03:12,502
Speaker 3: For whatever reason.

63
00:03:13,402 --> 00:03:14,302
Speaker 2: I can't imagine why.

64
00:03:14,322 --> 00:03:16,822
Speaker 3: I mean, it's weird, too, because I don't think of

65
00:03:16,882 --> 00:03:21,002
Speaker 3: myself as an older person. So I'm like, I'm middle-aged.

66
00:03:21,022 --> 00:03:21,482
Speaker 2: That's you.

67
00:03:22,222 --> 00:03:22,422
Speaker 3: It's me.

68
00:03:23,232 --> 00:03:24,952
Speaker 2: Yeah. It's you.

69
00:03:25,052 --> 00:03:27,292
Speaker 3: I'm grateful that they're listening. And they come to the

70
00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:30,012
Speaker 3: shows and they're very excited. And they all want photos

71
00:03:30,032 --> 00:03:30,212
Speaker 3: and hugs.

72
00:03:30,232 --> 00:03:31,452
Speaker 2: Well, the good news is they can afford the ticket.

73
00:03:31,482 --> 00:03:33,632
Speaker 3: They're very sweet. That's what I'm saying. And they buy merch.

74
00:03:33,662 --> 00:03:36,242
Speaker 3: Let me say that. And I'm grateful for that. Yeah.

75
00:03:36,462 --> 00:03:38,342
Speaker 3: And now Curry's behind the table. I will say taking

76
00:03:38,362 --> 00:03:40,582
Speaker 3: Curry out because we talked last week about Curry feeling

77
00:03:40,602 --> 00:03:42,382
Speaker 3: haggard on the road with me, which is true. And

78
00:03:42,402 --> 00:03:44,902
Speaker 3: I feel bad for her sometimes. But I'm so glad

79
00:03:44,922 --> 00:03:47,302
Speaker 3: she's there because she's such a big help. And also,

80
00:03:48,082 --> 00:03:51,422
Speaker 3: people like buying a t-shirt from a cute girl. Because plus,

81
00:03:51,462 --> 00:03:53,102
Speaker 3: I've made fun of her in the show. And they're like,

82
00:03:53,642 --> 00:03:56,182
Speaker 3: Bless your heart. What's it like being married to this clown?

83
00:03:56,202 --> 00:03:56,932
Speaker 2: Take this extra tip.

84
00:03:56,942 --> 00:04:01,351
Speaker 3: Please. Exactly. We don't need change. You're in our prayers.

85
00:04:02,582 --> 00:04:03,912
Speaker 3: And it's great.

86
00:04:04,052 --> 00:04:05,192
Speaker 2: Hey, you know what we don't have?

87
00:04:05,292 --> 00:04:05,692
Speaker 3: What's that?

88
00:04:06,032 --> 00:04:08,272
Speaker 2: We don't have any talk about that merch at your table.

89
00:04:09,132 --> 00:04:11,252
Speaker 3: That's right. We should get something, because people are listening

90
00:04:11,272 --> 00:04:12,612
Speaker 3: and they come to the shows now. They're like, oh,

91
00:04:12,632 --> 00:04:13,432
Speaker 3: I listen to the podcast all the time.

92
00:04:13,452 --> 00:04:15,292
Speaker 2: We should have a Banter Town shirt made up or something.

93
00:04:15,352 --> 00:04:17,472
Speaker 3: I don't know about a shirt. Shirts are risky, because

94
00:04:17,491 --> 00:04:19,732
Speaker 3: you've got to buy all these different sizes of them.

95
00:04:19,752 --> 00:04:21,362
Speaker 2: But you're taking the risk. I'm okay with it.

96
00:04:21,892 --> 00:04:21,952
Speaker 3: Oh.

97
00:04:22,252 --> 00:04:22,712
Speaker 2: That's fine.

98
00:04:22,792 --> 00:04:25,272
Speaker 3: It needs to be like a pin or a button.

99
00:04:25,392 --> 00:04:28,231
Speaker 3: You know, so I did a show this weekend, two

100
00:04:28,272 --> 00:04:31,252
Speaker 3: shows at a club, and the guy who opened for me,

101
00:04:31,932 --> 00:04:33,872
Speaker 3: he's got a dry bar specialist. His name's Adam Bush. Well,

102
00:04:34,092 --> 00:04:37,262
Speaker 3: Adam has these buttons that he sells, and they're like

103
00:04:37,282 --> 00:04:38,502
Speaker 3: a little of a metal kind, you know, with a

104
00:04:38,502 --> 00:04:40,542
Speaker 3: little in the back, a little safety pin thing in

105
00:04:40,562 --> 00:04:42,742
Speaker 3: the back. And they got some of his little punch

106
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:44,301
Speaker 3: lines on them. And I'm like, this is genius. And

107
00:04:44,322 --> 00:04:46,762
Speaker 3: he goes, yeah, I bought a button making machine. So

108
00:04:46,861 --> 00:04:48,302
Speaker 3: as long as you know how to do like, if

109
00:04:48,342 --> 00:04:49,301
Speaker 3: you can print your own little.

110
00:04:49,442 --> 00:04:50,702
Speaker 2: I think we have one of those at our house.

111
00:04:51,132 --> 00:04:52,052
Speaker 3: You have a button making machine?

112
00:04:52,072 --> 00:04:53,492
Speaker 2: I bought one for Sadie when she was little for Christmas.

113
00:04:53,512 --> 00:04:55,472
Speaker 2: Get yourself out of here. Yeah. If it's still there,

114
00:04:55,502 --> 00:04:56,072
Speaker 2: do you want to borrow it?

115
00:04:56,262 --> 00:04:59,122
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do. Because what he does is he goes, uh,

116
00:04:59,422 --> 00:05:01,541
Speaker 3: it's a great staging area for a joke. He says like,

117
00:05:01,582 --> 00:05:02,921
Speaker 3: if you go, well, this would be fun. And he goes,

118
00:05:02,942 --> 00:05:04,722
Speaker 3: then I'll move it to t-shirt. If the buttons are

119
00:05:04,762 --> 00:05:05,541
Speaker 3: really like moving.

120
00:05:05,882 --> 00:05:06,682
Speaker 2: I was like, this is perfect.

121
00:05:07,482 --> 00:05:10,732
Speaker 3: So, uh, he goes like, like a quarter in each button,

122
00:05:10,772 --> 00:05:13,312
Speaker 3: maybe in raw materials. But he goes, I just let

123
00:05:13,351 --> 00:05:15,892
Speaker 3: people pay what they want. So sometimes people leave a dollar.

124
00:05:15,912 --> 00:05:18,272
Speaker 3: Sometimes people leave a 20 and take a button. I'm like,

125
00:05:18,622 --> 00:05:19,162
Speaker 3: I'm getting buttons.

126
00:05:19,182 --> 00:05:19,762
Speaker 2: That's a great idea.

127
00:05:19,942 --> 00:05:22,312
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I think a talk about that button would

128
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:24,092
Speaker 3: be where I would start it. And then if it

129
00:05:24,172 --> 00:05:27,052
Speaker 3: gets to, if you graduate to the level of t-shirt,

130
00:05:27,212 --> 00:05:27,872
Speaker 3: I'll let you know.

131
00:05:28,192 --> 00:05:28,472
Speaker 2: Okay.

132
00:05:28,932 --> 00:05:29,192
Speaker 3: Okay.

133
00:05:29,392 --> 00:05:29,652
Speaker 2: Yeah.

134
00:05:29,732 --> 00:05:32,112
Speaker 1: It's going to, yeah, it's going to, uh, it's going

135
00:05:32,132 --> 00:05:39,102
Speaker 1: to take, uh, I mean, I've only done 350 episodes.

136
00:05:39,122 --> 00:05:44,762
Speaker 3: Um, it's not that John, it's just, you're, how do

137
00:05:44,782 --> 00:05:47,462
Speaker 3: I say this? Your appeal is limited.

138
00:05:48,002 --> 00:05:48,272
Speaker 2: Okay.

139
00:05:48,442 --> 00:05:49,402
Speaker 3: I'm kidding around. No, you're not.

140
00:05:49,422 --> 00:05:51,522
Speaker 2: My appeal is limited, Johnny, and I'm okay with that.

141
00:05:51,862 --> 00:05:54,162
Speaker 3: John, I did another podcast this weekend.

142
00:05:54,222 --> 00:05:54,402
Speaker 1: I know.

143
00:05:54,422 --> 00:05:55,142
Speaker 2: It was very offended.

144
00:05:55,322 --> 00:05:58,182
Speaker 3: Well, I was invited to be on a podcast with

145
00:05:58,222 --> 00:06:00,282
Speaker 3: Yakov Smirnoff. And when you told me, it's like one

146
00:06:00,312 --> 00:06:02,132
Speaker 3: of your childhood heroes, right? Yeah, it's just like, I mean,

147
00:06:02,152 --> 00:06:05,111
Speaker 3: I grew up as such an 80s comedy nerd. And

148
00:06:05,752 --> 00:06:07,712
Speaker 3: so these were like my rock stars. So if you

149
00:06:07,732 --> 00:06:09,192
Speaker 3: did comedy in the 80s and I saw you on

150
00:06:09,212 --> 00:06:11,432
Speaker 3: television and then I get to meet you, you know,

151
00:06:11,432 --> 00:06:13,362
Speaker 3: 30 years later, 40, I mean, that's amazing.

152
00:06:13,512 --> 00:06:14,282
Speaker 2: So what's better than that?

153
00:06:14,822 --> 00:06:16,842
Speaker 3: He was so kind and He asked me all these

154
00:06:16,902 --> 00:06:20,402
Speaker 3: questions about my childhood and, you know, making my mom laugh.

155
00:06:20,442 --> 00:06:21,982
Speaker 3: He asked about like, what was the first person you,

156
00:06:22,022 --> 00:06:23,541
Speaker 3: when did you know you wanted to do this? And

157
00:06:23,562 --> 00:06:25,002
Speaker 3: so we started talking about our moms and it was

158
00:06:25,042 --> 00:06:26,662
Speaker 3: just a really cool, like heartfelt. So I don't know

159
00:06:26,682 --> 00:06:29,482
Speaker 3: when that'll be released, but look for that podcast with

160
00:06:29,502 --> 00:06:31,671
Speaker 3: Yakov Smirnoff. It's called the comedy couch.

161
00:06:31,692 --> 00:06:32,082
Speaker 2: That's what he got.

162
00:06:32,082 --> 00:06:33,752
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, I can't believe that wasn't taken.

163
00:06:33,972 --> 00:06:34,251
Speaker 2: Yeah.

164
00:06:34,292 --> 00:06:34,871
Speaker 3: Comedy couch.

165
00:06:35,232 --> 00:06:35,492
Speaker 2: Yeah.

166
00:06:36,192 --> 00:06:38,332
Speaker 3: We couldn't, I was like, what about talking about that?

167
00:06:38,372 --> 00:06:39,372
Speaker 3: He goes, I don't see it.

168
00:06:40,152 --> 00:06:43,672
Speaker 1: Like I found our first pilot.

169
00:06:44,212 --> 00:06:45,931
Speaker 2: I don't think it was ever published, episode that we

170
00:06:45,952 --> 00:06:47,062
Speaker 2: just tried to do a podcast.

171
00:06:47,092 --> 00:06:47,741
Speaker 3: Right.

172
00:06:47,762 --> 00:06:50,361
Speaker 2: From like 2016. We called it Hear Me Out.

173
00:06:50,522 --> 00:06:50,722
Speaker 3: Yeah.

174
00:06:51,601 --> 00:06:53,322
Speaker 2: And I'm sure that was already taken. Probably.

175
00:06:53,342 --> 00:06:54,822
Speaker 3: There's probably a few Hear Me Outs, which there's some

176
00:06:54,862 --> 00:06:56,122
Speaker 3: talk about. There's less talk about that.

177
00:06:56,142 --> 00:06:57,982
Speaker 2: Let's talk about that. But there is no talk about that.

178
00:06:58,182 --> 00:06:58,362
Speaker 1: Yeah.

179
00:06:58,982 --> 00:06:59,882
Speaker 2: We're the only ones.

180
00:07:00,262 --> 00:07:01,462
Speaker 3: And even if there is, you could be like, talk

181
00:07:01,482 --> 00:07:02,932
Speaker 3: about that with John and Johnny. Right.

182
00:07:02,992 --> 00:07:03,892
Speaker 2: Because you have the little sub.

183
00:07:04,052 --> 00:07:05,132
Speaker 3: You know, there's always that.

184
00:07:05,212 --> 00:07:05,692
Speaker 2: Right, right.

185
00:07:05,712 --> 00:07:08,312
Speaker 3: Thing of like, comedy couch with John and John.

186
00:07:08,792 --> 00:07:08,892
Speaker 1: Oh.

187
00:07:09,192 --> 00:07:10,292
Speaker 3: Oh. Yock off.

188
00:07:10,432 --> 00:07:13,002
Speaker 2: Watch yourself. It might be a knockoff of the Yock Off.

189
00:07:13,012 --> 00:07:13,092
Speaker 3: Wait.

190
00:07:13,412 --> 00:07:13,552
Speaker 2: Wait.

191
00:07:14,472 --> 00:07:17,102
Speaker 3: Knock off, smear it off. I will say this. I

192
00:07:17,162 --> 00:07:20,382
Speaker 3: asked him what I would consider an uncomfortable question because

193
00:07:20,402 --> 00:07:22,602
Speaker 3: I just couldn't get out of my own head. And

194
00:07:22,622 --> 00:07:24,602
Speaker 3: I was like, I had no idea how he was

195
00:07:24,622 --> 00:07:25,842
Speaker 3: going to react because I was like, he could fly

196
00:07:25,882 --> 00:07:27,582
Speaker 3: off the handle. Because we were just talking about his

197
00:07:27,642 --> 00:07:29,162
Speaker 3: career and this night show because I wanted to know

198
00:07:29,182 --> 00:07:30,782
Speaker 3: all that stuff. Because he was asking about me and

199
00:07:30,812 --> 00:07:32,272
Speaker 3: I was like, let's talk about you for a second.

200
00:07:32,612 --> 00:07:34,312
Speaker 3: I started kind of interviewing him. Because I was like,

201
00:07:34,512 --> 00:07:36,312
Speaker 3: I remember all this stuff you're talking about. I remember

202
00:07:36,332 --> 00:07:38,692
Speaker 3: you performing for Reagan and all of it. Tell me,

203
00:07:39,112 --> 00:07:42,072
Speaker 3: did they vet your material? Did you tell him everything

204
00:07:42,092 --> 00:07:43,532
Speaker 3: you were going to say? So he starts telling me

205
00:07:43,552 --> 00:07:46,912
Speaker 3: about it. And then I said, I got to ask

206
00:07:46,952 --> 00:07:48,672
Speaker 3: you this question and I do not know how you're

207
00:07:48,692 --> 00:07:51,392
Speaker 3: going to react. But when I was a kid, one

208
00:07:51,412 --> 00:07:55,132
Speaker 3: of the specials I remember on HBO, I don't even

209
00:07:55,152 --> 00:07:57,002
Speaker 3: know how I watched it because I don't know if

210
00:07:57,022 --> 00:07:59,102
Speaker 3: we had, we didn't have HBO, but somehow I watched

211
00:07:59,122 --> 00:08:02,102
Speaker 3: the HBO special that Billy Crystal did. It was called

212
00:08:02,202 --> 00:08:04,182
Speaker 3: midnight train to Moscow. I've referenced it on the pod

213
00:08:04,202 --> 00:08:06,882
Speaker 3: before because he did like five minutes of material in Russian.

214
00:08:07,842 --> 00:08:10,082
Speaker 3: And then he did, he was speaking as our all

215
00:08:10,102 --> 00:08:12,882
Speaker 3: Russian audience. And then he did a material. It was

216
00:08:13,082 --> 00:08:15,902
Speaker 3: political in nature, but it was very– this is the

217
00:08:15,942 --> 00:08:17,982
Speaker 3: Glasnost era. It was very perestroika. So it was very

218
00:08:18,022 --> 00:08:20,382
Speaker 3: like let's unite. The summits had happened. Gorbachev.

219
00:08:20,862 --> 00:08:21,642
Speaker 2: All this was happening.

220
00:08:21,662 --> 00:08:23,742
Speaker 3: So the fall was right around the corner if it

221
00:08:23,782 --> 00:08:24,422
Speaker 3: hadn't already happened.

222
00:08:24,442 --> 00:08:24,982
Speaker 2: It was probably 87, 88.

223
00:08:24,962 --> 00:08:28,402
Speaker 3: So the fall of the wall is coming. And I said,

224
00:08:28,722 --> 00:08:30,572
Speaker 3: all this happened, and I remember liking that a lot.

225
00:08:30,612 --> 00:08:32,812
Speaker 3: But I also remember thinking, even as a kid that

226
00:08:32,852 --> 00:08:35,752
Speaker 3: did not understand the industry of comedy, I thought, I

227
00:08:35,812 --> 00:08:39,672
Speaker 3: wonder what Yakov Smirnov thinks about this. And he goes, yeah.

228
00:08:39,732 --> 00:08:42,131
Speaker 3: And then he kind of smiled. He didn't get, I thought,

229
00:08:42,352 --> 00:08:43,651
Speaker 3: is he going to be like, actually, it was very

230
00:08:43,672 --> 00:08:46,612
Speaker 3: painful because he ripped off my, he didn't, he was very,

231
00:08:46,892 --> 00:08:49,052
Speaker 3: he was very congenial about it. He goes, well, he

232
00:08:49,092 --> 00:08:54,522
Speaker 3: had family history. He had Russian relatives. So it's part

233
00:08:54,542 --> 00:08:57,881
Speaker 3: of his ethnicity, part of his background. So it made

234
00:08:57,942 --> 00:08:59,881
Speaker 3: sense for him to go back and do this thing.

235
00:08:59,962 --> 00:09:01,582
Speaker 3: But it also was kind of like, yeah, you are

236
00:09:01,642 --> 00:09:03,742
Speaker 3: kind of horning in on my thing. And it is

237
00:09:04,222 --> 00:09:06,112
Speaker 3: a strange feeling. And I go, it's like, You haven't

238
00:09:06,132 --> 00:09:08,932
Speaker 3: monopolized being a Russian comic. And it wasn't like he

239
00:09:08,952 --> 00:09:10,492
Speaker 3: was doing the I'm a fish out of water thing.

240
00:09:10,532 --> 00:09:13,492
Speaker 3: Like Yakov's whole thing was I'm in America and it's

241
00:09:13,532 --> 00:09:15,431
Speaker 3: very disorienting. And let me tell you all the things

242
00:09:15,452 --> 00:09:17,791
Speaker 3: about America that I noticed that you don't notice because

243
00:09:17,972 --> 00:09:19,791
Speaker 3: you're enveloped in it. And that was his whole, it

244
00:09:19,812 --> 00:09:22,592
Speaker 3: was beautiful. And he kind of gave us that little

245
00:09:22,612 --> 00:09:24,572
Speaker 3: like perspective on it. And Billy Crystal wasn't trying to

246
00:09:24,592 --> 00:09:27,672
Speaker 3: do that, but it definitely was a little bit of a, Hey,

247
00:09:27,692 --> 00:09:29,171
Speaker 3: I like what you're doing Yakov. Let me see if

248
00:09:29,232 --> 00:09:31,931
Speaker 3: I can get in on this Russian thing. But it

249
00:09:31,952 --> 00:09:33,612
Speaker 3: was a very kind of a pipe bomb kind of

250
00:09:33,652 --> 00:09:36,662
Speaker 3: a question. Like I do not know what it, We're live.

251
00:09:36,682 --> 00:09:37,942
Speaker 3: I mean, we're not live, but I mean, I guess

252
00:09:37,962 --> 00:09:38,762
Speaker 3: you could just edit it out.

253
00:09:38,782 --> 00:09:42,482
Speaker 2: I hate Billy Crystal. And you're like, oh, no. What

254
00:09:42,532 --> 00:09:44,552
Speaker 2: have I done? I love that you pushed the envelope.

255
00:09:44,872 --> 00:09:47,792
Speaker 3: I could not. I just thought as a fan of

256
00:09:47,852 --> 00:09:49,192
Speaker 3: both of them, I want to know. I mean, I

257
00:09:49,192 --> 00:09:51,252
Speaker 3: love Billy Crystal and I love Yakov. I want to know, like,

258
00:09:51,772 --> 00:09:53,252
Speaker 3: did you guys have a beef over this?

259
00:09:53,282 --> 00:09:56,362
Speaker 2: You could create a peace summit to unite them.

260
00:09:56,682 --> 00:09:58,042
Speaker 3: I think it needs to happen.

261
00:09:58,082 --> 00:10:00,982
Speaker 2: We'll come to a bridge and we'll meet in the middle. Yes.

262
00:10:01,102 --> 00:10:02,322
Speaker 3: At long last.

263
00:10:02,422 --> 00:10:02,702
Speaker 2: Yeah.

264
00:10:02,722 --> 00:10:02,802
Speaker 1: Yeah.

265
00:10:03,322 --> 00:10:04,772
Speaker 2: The blood feud can end.

266
00:10:04,792 --> 00:10:08,912
Speaker 1: We'll bring down the wall of comedy between, wait.

267
00:10:09,252 --> 00:10:14,152
Speaker 3: Mr. Smirnoff, tear down. I don't know. But that was

268
00:10:14,252 --> 00:10:15,712
Speaker 3: pretty cool and that was a fun experience.

269
00:10:15,732 --> 00:10:16,172
Speaker 2: That's great.

270
00:10:16,312 --> 00:10:18,872
Speaker 3: Yeah. But I say that to say that I've done

271
00:10:18,912 --> 00:10:21,792
Speaker 3: other podcasts with comedians and generally I do not like

272
00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:26,072
Speaker 3: it as much as ours because there's a dynamic between

273
00:10:26,212 --> 00:10:29,292
Speaker 3: us that I can't quite put my finger on. But

274
00:10:29,332 --> 00:10:30,712
Speaker 3: if I was to put a word, if I was

275
00:10:30,732 --> 00:10:31,912
Speaker 3: to put a phrase to it, it would be that

276
00:10:32,092 --> 00:10:36,312
Speaker 3: you know You're very respectful about when to lay back

277
00:10:36,432 --> 00:10:38,052
Speaker 3: and you don't have this thing in you that needs

278
00:10:38,112 --> 00:10:40,901
Speaker 3: to like top like comedians tend to want to top

279
00:10:40,922 --> 00:10:43,002
Speaker 3: each other they don't mean to but they just go

280
00:10:43,022 --> 00:10:44,021
Speaker 3: oh yeah.

281
00:10:43,902 --> 00:10:45,982
Speaker 2: I worked there and they go i was in vegas

282
00:10:46,002 --> 00:10:46,782
Speaker 2: then and they have to.

283
00:10:46,782 --> 00:10:49,161
Speaker 3: Tell their vegas story yeah they can't just listen to

284
00:10:49,182 --> 00:10:52,202
Speaker 3: your and for whatever reason like you just let me.

285
00:10:52,702 --> 00:10:56,892
Speaker 1: Go well i think it's uh I think I know

286
00:10:57,192 --> 00:10:58,952
Speaker 1: I'm not going to top it.

287
00:10:59,252 --> 00:11:00,082
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, no, no.

288
00:11:00,112 --> 00:11:00,642
Speaker 3: It's not that.

289
00:11:00,662 --> 00:11:01,562
Speaker 2: It's not even that.

290
00:11:01,852 --> 00:11:03,522
Speaker 3: It is, but it's also, I just think there's a,

291
00:11:04,082 --> 00:11:07,242
Speaker 3: obviously it's 20 something, 28 years of friendship and it's,

292
00:11:07,462 --> 00:11:10,522
Speaker 3: there's a respect there, but I just have done, but

293
00:11:10,622 --> 00:11:12,642
Speaker 3: I will say the Yakov one, I liked a lot

294
00:11:12,862 --> 00:11:16,462
Speaker 3: and I am leaving this show to go do a podcast.

295
00:11:16,482 --> 00:11:18,462
Speaker 2: It was an interesting segue, setting it up that you

296
00:11:18,482 --> 00:11:18,982
Speaker 2: like ours better.

297
00:11:19,022 --> 00:11:21,682
Speaker 3: I appreciate what you brought and you've taught me what

298
00:11:21,762 --> 00:11:24,202
Speaker 3: I need. And now that Yakov has given me that,

299
00:11:24,381 --> 00:11:25,182
Speaker 3: we're done. Yeah.

300
00:11:25,922 --> 00:11:26,922
Speaker 2: This sounds like my first agent.

301
00:11:29,582 --> 00:11:31,791
Speaker 3: I didn't know this about myself. And now that I've

302
00:11:31,872 --> 00:11:33,432
Speaker 3: outgrown you, I wanted.

303
00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:33,911
Speaker 2: To talk about it.

304
00:11:34,012 --> 00:11:34,212
Speaker 3: Right.

305
00:11:34,292 --> 00:11:36,052
Speaker 2: I think it's time. Yeah.

306
00:11:36,312 --> 00:11:38,892
Speaker 3: That's one of the more condescending things that's come out

307
00:11:38,992 --> 00:11:42,542
Speaker 3: of like weaponized therapy talk in our culture is when

308
00:11:42,562 --> 00:11:44,102
Speaker 3: you talk about outgrowing a person.

309
00:11:44,282 --> 00:11:44,802
Speaker 1: Yeah.

310
00:11:44,942 --> 00:11:48,222
Speaker 3: I feel like I've just kind of outgrown my friends. Yeah.

311
00:11:48,242 --> 00:11:51,002
Speaker 3: And you go, please don't tell them that. Please don't

312
00:11:51,042 --> 00:11:53,422
Speaker 3: ever use the words out. I love you, but I

313
00:11:53,442 --> 00:11:56,482
Speaker 3: feel like I've outgrown you. What a condescending, horrible thing

314
00:11:56,522 --> 00:11:59,842
Speaker 3: to say to somebody. I've grown and you've not.

315
00:12:01,572 --> 00:12:05,431
Speaker 1: It's a hard balance. Again, there's relationships you need to end.

316
00:12:05,472 --> 00:12:08,011
Speaker 1: There's relationships you need to put boundaries up. All those things.

317
00:12:08,292 --> 00:12:12,752
Speaker 1: And then also, there's relationships where you need to endure

318
00:12:12,772 --> 00:12:14,452
Speaker 1: and grow together.

319
00:12:14,472 --> 00:12:16,582
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just because you don't hang out with somebody

320
00:12:16,622 --> 00:12:18,182
Speaker 3: as much anymore doesn't mean you have to brand them

321
00:12:18,242 --> 00:12:20,442
Speaker 3: a toxic person. You can just go like, We don't

322
00:12:20,452 --> 00:12:22,302
Speaker 3: have as much in common anymore. When I see them,

323
00:12:22,322 --> 00:12:24,261
Speaker 3: it's cool, but you don't have to be like, there's

324
00:12:24,302 --> 00:12:25,302
Speaker 3: got to be a reason behind this.

325
00:12:25,522 --> 00:12:28,862
Speaker 2: They're toxic. Stop it.

326
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:32,222
Speaker 3: There are toxic people, and many of them are listeners.

327
00:12:32,642 --> 00:12:36,761
Speaker 3: We love our toxic listeners. John, how would you support

328
00:12:36,802 --> 00:12:39,242
Speaker 3: the show if you wanted to as a non-toxic listener?

329
00:12:39,262 --> 00:12:41,402
Speaker 2: You go to talkaboutthatpodcast.com.

330
00:12:41,942 --> 00:12:43,662
Speaker 3: If you click on that upper right-hand link, John, you

331
00:12:43,682 --> 00:12:46,962
Speaker 3: can find ads. No, you can't.

332
00:12:47,492 --> 00:12:50,272
Speaker 1: Click on the upper right-hand link, John. You can find

333
00:12:50,792 --> 00:12:53,152
Speaker 1: ad-free content by supporting the show.

334
00:12:53,492 --> 00:12:55,172
Speaker 3: Why would you go there to click on to get ads?

335
00:12:55,312 --> 00:12:56,612
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any sense.

336
00:12:56,631 --> 00:12:58,132
Speaker 2: Because if you're not getting enough ads in your life,

337
00:12:58,172 --> 00:13:00,352
Speaker 2: have we got the thing for you? Ads. The upper

338
00:13:00,412 --> 00:13:02,452
Speaker 2: right-hand corner of our website. The upper right-hand corner. More

339
00:13:02,492 --> 00:13:03,532
Speaker 2: just splashing at you.

340
00:13:03,712 --> 00:13:04,092
Speaker 3: Wonderful.

341
00:13:04,131 --> 00:13:04,391
Speaker 2: Beautiful.

342
00:13:04,892 --> 00:13:06,432
Speaker 3: John, if you want to send a note to the show,

343
00:13:06,912 --> 00:13:11,232
Speaker 3: a little message of encouragement or a proper scolding.

344
00:13:11,272 --> 00:13:12,931
Speaker 2: Yes. That we deserve. We do.

345
00:13:13,372 --> 00:13:16,822
Speaker 3: From time to time. Lately, people have been noticing... And

346
00:13:16,832 --> 00:13:19,402
Speaker 3: they love to point out when we make a historical mistake,

347
00:13:19,522 --> 00:13:23,722
Speaker 3: an error. We say radar when we mean sonar. We

348
00:13:23,762 --> 00:13:31,262
Speaker 3: say dearth when we mean something else. They love that.

349
00:13:31,842 --> 00:13:34,781
Speaker 3: And I think there's something about that. And that's a

350
00:13:34,802 --> 00:13:37,032
Speaker 3: weakness on their part because they need to point out

351
00:13:37,102 --> 00:13:39,832
Speaker 3: our flaws to make themselves feel better. No, we're glad.

352
00:13:39,852 --> 00:13:41,612
Speaker 2: We're happy to get notes from you guys and we

353
00:13:41,631 --> 00:13:41,922
Speaker 2: love it.

354
00:13:42,332 --> 00:13:45,772
Speaker 3: So hello at TalkAboutThatPodcast.com. to do that and thanks for

355
00:13:45,812 --> 00:13:48,232

00:13:48,292 --> 00:13:49,952
Speaker 3: is time to hear from a few of our fine

357
00:13:49,992 --> 00:13:52,292
Speaker 3: sponsors because we got to keep these lights on look

358
00:13:52,312 --> 00:13:54,672
Speaker 3: at all these lights in this room watch us on

00:13:54,712 --> 00:13:56,992
Speaker 3: youtube and you'll see we've got lights everywhere now those

360
00:13:57,022 --> 00:13:59,882
Speaker 3: aren't free and we appreciate our sponsors let's hear from

361
00:13:59,942 --> 00:14:00,502
Speaker 3: a couple of those.

362
00:14:09,452 --> 00:14:11,891
Speaker 2: And we're back. Johnny's about that time.

363
00:14:12,032 --> 00:14:12,132
Speaker 3: Oh.

364
00:14:12,312 --> 00:14:14,132
Speaker 1: That's my quote of the week. It's a segment we

365
00:14:14,152 --> 00:14:29,952
Speaker 1: call They Talked About That. That's a little bend that time.

366
00:14:29,972 --> 00:14:30,652
Speaker 3: That one's not going to.

367
00:14:30,942 --> 00:14:31,522
Speaker 1: No, it's horrible.

368
00:14:31,542 --> 00:14:34,182
Speaker 3: I got a bad feeling about that one. I'll fix

369
00:14:34,282 --> 00:14:34,682
Speaker 3: it in post.

370
00:14:34,702 --> 00:14:35,502
Speaker 2: I got to sing Sunday.

371
00:14:36,122 --> 00:14:36,542
Speaker 3: Is that right?

372
00:14:36,782 --> 00:14:38,522
Speaker 2: And preached. Sung and preached.

373
00:14:38,622 --> 00:14:40,512
Speaker 3: Normally, that was like you didn't like that.

374
00:14:41,252 --> 00:14:42,252
Speaker 2: No, it just happened.

375
00:14:42,332 --> 00:14:44,392
Speaker 1: We'd move some scheduling around, and one was already booked,

376
00:14:44,472 --> 00:14:45,712
Speaker 1: and then some people were out of town.

377
00:14:45,732 --> 00:14:47,412
Speaker 2: It just made sense to go ahead. But I got

378
00:14:47,432 --> 00:14:50,012
Speaker 2: to sing with Bethany. That was fun. Oh, geez.

379
00:14:50,272 --> 00:14:52,762
Speaker 3: It's like the best safety net, too, because the harmonies

380
00:14:52,822 --> 00:14:53,322
Speaker 3: are so great.

381
00:14:53,662 --> 00:14:55,542
Speaker 2: And I had Kiko on the drums and he has

382
00:14:56,422 --> 00:14:57,242
Speaker 2: the band leader mic.

383
00:14:57,442 --> 00:14:57,582
Speaker 3: Yeah.

384
00:14:57,602 --> 00:14:59,222
Speaker 2: So like there's one song I'd never led before.

385
00:14:59,242 --> 00:15:01,602
Speaker 1: And like during practices, I do help me out and

386
00:15:01,622 --> 00:15:04,772
Speaker 1: he'd come in while he's playing drums and help me know.

387
00:15:04,652 --> 00:15:06,592
Speaker 2: The melody of the next line. Really?

388
00:15:06,612 --> 00:15:06,712
Speaker 1: Yeah.

389
00:15:06,752 --> 00:15:07,252
Speaker 2: He was great.

390
00:15:07,272 --> 00:15:09,732
Speaker 3: He was like, when did the band leader mic thing

391
00:15:09,892 --> 00:15:12,992
Speaker 3: off air start coming into churches? Like the people are

392
00:15:13,022 --> 00:15:14,662
Speaker 3: in your ears going like, all right, second verse is

393
00:15:14,702 --> 00:15:15,502
Speaker 3: coming up, John.

394
00:15:15,542 --> 00:15:15,702
Speaker 1: Yeah.

395
00:15:16,042 --> 00:15:18,272
Speaker 3: Don't miss this. Don't miss this. Oh, you blew it.

396
00:15:18,422 --> 00:15:18,642
Speaker 2: All right.

397
00:15:18,662 --> 00:15:21,642
Speaker 3: Get back on beat. Like they can do that. And

398
00:15:21,662 --> 00:15:23,342
Speaker 3: the people in the audience aren't hearing that. Exactly. Has

399
00:15:23,362 --> 00:15:24,982
Speaker 3: there ever been an instance in a church where they

400
00:15:25,002 --> 00:15:25,642
Speaker 3: got piped out?

401
00:15:25,722 --> 00:15:25,922
Speaker 2: Yeah.

402
00:15:25,942 --> 00:15:28,202
Speaker 3: That'd be great. It's almost like taking your wireless mic

403
00:15:28,222 --> 00:15:29,102
Speaker 3: to the bathroom with you.

404
00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:31,492
Speaker 2: I did mess up the intro.

405
00:15:31,732 --> 00:15:31,972
Speaker 1: Oh boy.

406
00:15:32,132 --> 00:15:35,152
Speaker 2: Cause you do also have a, a cue in the track.

407
00:15:35,392 --> 00:15:35,552
Speaker 3: Yeah.

408
00:15:35,672 --> 00:15:38,632
Speaker 1: A lady's voice going course two, three, like it tells

409
00:15:38,652 --> 00:15:41,372
Speaker 1: you what's coming. And when you first get started, that

410
00:15:41,412 --> 00:15:42,422
Speaker 1: little surge of adrenaline.

411
00:15:42,472 --> 00:15:42,642
Speaker 3: Yeah.

412
00:15:42,972 --> 00:15:44,232
Speaker 2: We're playing. It sounds good.

413
00:15:44,692 --> 00:15:46,572
Speaker 1: And it was a longer intro than I thought. And

414
00:15:46,612 --> 00:15:49,332
Speaker 1: I started singing, but it said intro again. And I

415
00:15:49,352 --> 00:15:51,562
Speaker 1: started singing. And then Kiko's like, not yet.

416
00:15:51,642 --> 00:15:52,802
Speaker 2: Not yet. I was like, okay. And I backed out.

417
00:15:52,822 --> 00:15:54,422
Speaker 2: I was like, all right, guys, now we're really ready.

418
00:15:54,442 --> 00:15:55,842
Speaker 2: And I was kind of, you know, and I think

419
00:15:55,862 --> 00:15:56,682
Speaker 2: the rest of the time we were okay.

420
00:15:57,622 --> 00:15:59,882
Speaker 3: It's like when the port speaker goes, who wants to

421
00:15:59,902 --> 00:16:01,422
Speaker 3: learn a brand new song this week?

422
00:16:01,962 --> 00:16:03,702
Speaker 2: Like you were like, I'm going to learn a brand

423
00:16:03,722 --> 00:16:06,182
Speaker 2: new song this week. Right now. I don't even know it.

424
00:16:06,612 --> 00:16:07,692
Speaker 2: We'll all learn together.

425
00:16:07,712 --> 00:16:08,172
Speaker 1: Yeah.

426
00:16:08,552 --> 00:16:10,332
Speaker 2: It was fun. Pick a melody and go with it.

427
00:16:10,472 --> 00:16:11,412
Speaker 2: He's got to go.

428
00:16:11,472 --> 00:16:13,112
Speaker 3: Well, you did it, and I heard great things about

429
00:16:13,152 --> 00:16:13,692
Speaker 3: the service, John.

430
00:16:13,712 --> 00:16:14,432
Speaker 2: Oh, I know.

431
00:16:14,492 --> 00:16:15,732
Speaker 3: People are, there's a buzz.

432
00:16:15,912 --> 00:16:19,612
Speaker 2: There, that was a fly. There was a buzz about

433
00:16:19,662 --> 00:16:21,482
Speaker 2: that service. Anyway, John, quote of the week.

434
00:16:21,562 --> 00:16:21,622
Speaker 3: G.K.

435
00:16:21,622 --> 00:16:24,402
Speaker 2: Chesterton. I mean, Johnny, he's always good for a good quote.

436
00:16:25,022 --> 00:16:25,482
Speaker 3: Amazing.

437
00:16:25,642 --> 00:16:25,962
Speaker 2: Amazing.

438
00:16:26,182 --> 00:16:29,122
Speaker 3: One of my favorites, basically. I mean, C.S. Lewis, G.K.,

439
00:16:29,202 --> 00:16:31,082
Speaker 3: I mean, G.K., I find myself quoting G.K.

440
00:16:31,122 --> 00:16:33,412
Speaker 2: As much as C.S. Lewis. Yeah. Go ahead.

441
00:16:34,052 --> 00:16:37,112
Speaker 1: The true soldier fights not because he hates what is

442
00:16:37,152 --> 00:16:39,762
Speaker 1: in front of him, but because he loves what is

443
00:16:39,842 --> 00:16:40,342
Speaker 1: behind him.

444
00:16:41,222 --> 00:16:42,762
Speaker 3: When he wrote this, it probably was what?

445
00:16:42,862 --> 00:16:45,302
Speaker 2: World War... I don't know the date.

446
00:16:45,482 --> 00:16:46,742
Speaker 3: Do you think it would have been, had a war

447
00:16:46,802 --> 00:16:51,262
Speaker 3: background and he was actually talking about it? I don't

448
00:16:51,282 --> 00:16:52,282
Speaker 3: want you to.

449
00:16:52,322 --> 00:16:54,572
Speaker 2: There's always a war going on, but I just want

450
00:16:54,582 --> 00:16:55,192
Speaker 2: to see G.K.

451
00:16:55,232 --> 00:16:58,192
Speaker 3: Chesterton. What his lifespan would have been when he possibly

452
00:16:58,232 --> 00:16:58,672
Speaker 3: said this.

453
00:16:59,172 --> 00:17:01,612
Speaker 2: So we got a thing going here right now.

454
00:17:03,412 --> 00:17:08,722
Speaker 1: So he was, yeah, 1874 to... 1936. So very possibly

455
00:17:08,762 --> 00:17:09,631
Speaker 1: World War I.

456
00:17:09,782 --> 00:17:11,922
Speaker 2: Or two. No, no, we're on two yet.

457
00:17:11,942 --> 00:17:12,142
Speaker 3: Sorry.

458
00:17:12,621 --> 00:17:16,482
Speaker 2: World War I or several British things happening in the

459
00:17:16,522 --> 00:17:17,222
Speaker 2: middle of all that. Yeah.

460
00:17:17,682 --> 00:17:20,062
Speaker 1: At any rate, if you guys are watching online, like

461
00:17:20,081 --> 00:17:22,122
Speaker 1: we're doing some pretty cool stuff where I'm actually searching

462
00:17:22,202 --> 00:17:23,162
Speaker 1: live on the big screen.

463
00:17:23,382 --> 00:17:25,242
Speaker 3: Oh, man. That's exactly what people want to see.

464
00:17:25,262 --> 00:17:25,671
Speaker 2: They love it.

465
00:17:28,081 --> 00:17:29,462
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of talk. There's a lot

466
00:17:29,502 --> 00:17:35,622
Speaker 1: of co-opting in our language and our vernacular about fighting

467
00:17:35,682 --> 00:17:39,361
Speaker 1: and soldiering. And, um, I know some actual soldiers and

468
00:17:39,392 --> 00:17:42,432
Speaker 1: of course, Chris is on staff here and he's a veteran.

469
00:17:42,552 --> 00:17:44,812
Speaker 2: And, um, you know, the thing.

470
00:17:44,712 --> 00:17:47,512
Speaker 1: About it, and he's done a lot of amazing things,

471
00:17:47,572 --> 00:17:53,552
Speaker 1: like amazing, amazing things and multiple tours. There is a

472
00:17:53,592 --> 00:17:55,232
Speaker 1: sense of, I never forget one time we were having

473
00:17:55,272 --> 00:17:58,661
Speaker 1: a conversation before I hired him, I think. Um, and

474
00:17:58,681 --> 00:18:01,842
Speaker 1: I actually ask now when I do interview questions, some

475
00:18:01,882 --> 00:18:05,772
Speaker 1: things that aren't politically charged, um, But they're to try

476
00:18:05,811 --> 00:18:07,872
Speaker 1: to make sure that someone doesn't come in who's going

477
00:18:07,891 --> 00:18:10,491
Speaker 1: to feel attacked or hyper offended because we can be

478
00:18:10,572 --> 00:18:12,292
Speaker 1: open here on our staff and just say, you know,

479
00:18:12,311 --> 00:18:13,492
Speaker 1: we can talk freely. Right.

480
00:18:13,552 --> 00:18:15,352
Speaker 2: And so I'll be like, hey, if you heard this

481
00:18:15,452 --> 00:18:16,631
Speaker 2: and I'll just say something political.

482
00:18:16,952 --> 00:18:17,872
Speaker 3: Yeah.

483
00:18:18,371 --> 00:18:20,272
Speaker 1: Not from the stage and like that. If you heard

484
00:18:20,331 --> 00:18:23,272
Speaker 1: this from very generations around our staff table.

485
00:18:23,532 --> 00:18:26,752
Speaker 2: Yeah. Would that be offensive to you or whatever? You know,

486
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:27,792
Speaker 2: if you heard someone did this and that.

487
00:18:27,871 --> 00:18:31,292
Speaker 1: And he I remember I asked him that question and

488
00:18:31,331 --> 00:18:34,772
Speaker 1: he said, you know, it would not offend me because.

489
00:18:35,922 --> 00:18:38,842
Speaker 1: I fought so that people could have the right to

490
00:18:38,942 --> 00:18:41,462
Speaker 1: say things like that, even if it were things I

491
00:18:41,502 --> 00:18:44,721
Speaker 1: didn't agree with. And that, to me, is a true soldier.

492
00:18:44,831 --> 00:18:47,931
Speaker 1: That's what Chesterton says. There's such a thing as a

493
00:18:47,972 --> 00:18:50,852
Speaker 1: true soldier. Not just those who are saying, I'm fighting,

494
00:18:50,891 --> 00:18:51,392
Speaker 1: I'm fighting.

495
00:18:51,452 --> 00:18:54,092
Speaker 2: And I'm not. I'm not a soldier, right? I did

496
00:18:54,132 --> 00:18:55,111
Speaker 2: not have the honor of serving.

497
00:18:56,902 --> 00:19:00,321
Speaker 1: But I love that idea that what we fight for

498
00:19:00,362 --> 00:19:02,382
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be because we hate something.

499
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:06,512
Speaker 2: And that's a really hard line right now. in our world. Right.

500
00:19:06,952 --> 00:19:08,692
Speaker 1: I don't even think hate, there was a day, if

501
00:19:08,712 --> 00:19:11,832
Speaker 1: we just said this 15 years ago, we'd have been like, well,

502
00:19:11,851 --> 00:19:13,972
Speaker 1: I can't think of hardly anybody I really hate. Right.

503
00:19:14,032 --> 00:19:16,662
Speaker 2: If you ask people today, I think most of them

504
00:19:16,702 --> 00:19:17,921
Speaker 2: would easily name someone.

505
00:19:17,942 --> 00:19:20,022
Speaker 3: Yeah. Before you could think about what you were for,

506
00:19:20,061 --> 00:19:21,621
Speaker 3: you could almost always think of a list of what

507
00:19:21,641 --> 00:19:23,102
Speaker 3: you were against or who you were against.

508
00:19:23,442 --> 00:19:24,742
Speaker 2: You're imagining a people group.

509
00:19:25,141 --> 00:19:25,702
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

510
00:19:26,302 --> 00:19:27,482
Speaker 2: It's very, it's very reactionary.

511
00:19:27,502 --> 00:19:32,022
Speaker 1: Like again, if in, in political science, the, the, the,

512
00:19:32,282 --> 00:19:35,242
Speaker 1: if you talk about revolutions, there's very, levels of them,

513
00:19:35,482 --> 00:19:39,141
Speaker 1: but a leftist-based revolution you would call a.

514
00:19:40,942 --> 00:19:41,422
Speaker 2: Revolution.

515
00:19:41,442 --> 00:19:49,652
Speaker 1: A right-based revolution you call reactionaryism, meaning there's different levels

516
00:19:50,331 --> 00:19:53,932
Speaker 1: of how you come at it. One is by taking

517
00:19:53,992 --> 00:19:59,262
Speaker 1: down a corrupt system. Another is by creating a someone

518
00:19:59,282 --> 00:20:01,762
Speaker 1: to be against that we all react to yeah right

519
00:20:02,422 --> 00:20:05,382
Speaker 1: um that may not necessarily be at the top but

520
00:20:05,641 --> 00:20:08,702
Speaker 1: maybe someone at the bottom in hitler's case the jews

521
00:20:08,742 --> 00:20:10,081
Speaker 1: or whomever like you create someone.

522
00:20:09,882 --> 00:20:11,842
Speaker 3: Right they're responsible for your lot in life.

523
00:20:11,681 --> 00:20:13,501
Speaker 1: Right versus someone at the top that you gotta we

524
00:20:13,522 --> 00:20:17,332
Speaker 1: got to dethrone or whatever and i think reactionary ism

525
00:20:18,172 --> 00:20:21,192
Speaker 1: is is dangerous because it does it it it finds

526
00:20:21,592 --> 00:20:25,471
Speaker 1: what you are scared of and i know we read

527
00:20:25,492 --> 00:20:28,131
Speaker 1: a quote one time that my therapist actually talked about

528
00:20:28,172 --> 00:20:32,632
Speaker 1: like when you find what makes you angry then you

529
00:20:32,692 --> 00:20:35,192
Speaker 1: find what you care about that actually is a sign

530
00:20:35,232 --> 00:20:37,351
Speaker 1: of something you care about yeah if we get you

531
00:20:37,391 --> 00:20:40,292
Speaker 1: afraid or angry and we're we're getting into your security

532
00:20:40,851 --> 00:20:44,142
Speaker 1: center we're getting to a place where These are what

533
00:20:44,181 --> 00:20:46,641
Speaker 1: you value or what you value for yourself or for

534
00:20:46,681 --> 00:20:49,162
Speaker 1: your family. And I just, I love the idea that

535
00:20:49,621 --> 00:20:55,262
Speaker 1: I want to be fighting for someone, not against someone, right?

536
00:20:55,302 --> 00:20:59,372
Speaker 1: I'm fighting for someone. And it's hard because to fight,

537
00:20:59,391 --> 00:21:01,692
Speaker 1: you have to fight against someone. So I think this

538
00:21:01,732 --> 00:21:05,172
Speaker 1: is about a matter of the heart. Jesus most certainly

539
00:21:06,092 --> 00:21:10,192
Speaker 1: spoke against the Pharisees. But when a Pharisee came to

540
00:21:10,232 --> 00:21:12,991
Speaker 1: him by night, he didn't turn him away. like Nicodemus,

541
00:21:13,592 --> 00:21:16,712
Speaker 1: like he wasn't, you know, he, the, the fight wasn't

542
00:21:16,752 --> 00:21:20,132
Speaker 1: against flesh and blood. It was against the spirit of

543
00:21:20,172 --> 00:21:25,712
Speaker 1: that age and, and the again, co-opting of his father's

544
00:21:26,402 --> 00:21:32,341
Speaker 1: kingdom for human gain and human approval. And while you're

545
00:21:32,402 --> 00:21:37,821
Speaker 1: exploiting the widow, the orphan, the immigrant, the refugee, while

546
00:21:37,842 --> 00:21:41,502
Speaker 1: you're trampling on the poor, I mean, that's where Jesus said, no,

547
00:21:41,542 --> 00:21:43,002
Speaker 1: we're not going to do this. When he turned over

548
00:21:43,042 --> 00:21:46,062
Speaker 1: the tables, and we'd love to talk about that as something.

549
00:21:46,081 --> 00:21:49,382
Speaker 1: Jesus was powerful and he turned over tables. Like, one,

550
00:21:49,402 --> 00:21:52,292
Speaker 1: I don't think it was very reactionary. And the reason is,

551
00:21:52,331 --> 00:21:54,392
Speaker 1: you probably remember this saying this in youth a lot.

552
00:21:54,672 --> 00:21:57,172
Speaker 1: If you read that passage, the Bible says he fashioned

553
00:21:57,192 --> 00:22:00,552
Speaker 1: the whip. And so I always, I used to joke

554
00:22:00,581 --> 00:22:02,381
Speaker 1: with the kids that he was just sitting in a corner,

555
00:22:02,422 --> 00:22:03,821
Speaker 1: like just weaving something together.

556
00:22:03,842 --> 00:22:05,982
Speaker 2: And the disciples are like. what are you doing, Jesus?

557
00:22:06,022 --> 00:22:07,321
Speaker 2: He's like, you'll see.

558
00:22:07,342 --> 00:22:08,841
Speaker 3: Yeah, making a whip.

559
00:22:09,141 --> 00:22:11,101
Speaker 1: Like, you know, it wasn't like, he knew what he

560
00:22:11,121 --> 00:22:15,062
Speaker 1: was doing, but his issue was, as you're cheating people,

561
00:22:15,101 --> 00:22:20,782
Speaker 1: you're charging more than the law requires for things for

562
00:22:20,822 --> 00:22:22,742
Speaker 1: people to come sacrifice to try to make themselves right

563
00:22:22,762 --> 00:22:23,201
Speaker 1: with God.

564
00:22:23,282 --> 00:22:25,512
Speaker 2: And this is what he wouldn't, he wouldn't stand for that.

565
00:22:25,532 --> 00:22:28,212
Speaker 1: It wasn't just like every time he saw any sort

566
00:22:28,232 --> 00:22:30,071
Speaker 1: of anything, he went out and turned over a table.

567
00:22:30,112 --> 00:22:32,732
Speaker 1: Like it was a very specific thing for him that

568
00:22:32,811 --> 00:22:38,192
Speaker 1: was corrupting the actual kingdom of God. Um, but I

569
00:22:38,232 --> 00:22:39,972
Speaker 1: think on the, on the whole, then he was willing

570
00:22:39,992 --> 00:22:42,511
Speaker 1: to let those same people kill him, you know, and

571
00:22:42,552 --> 00:22:44,992
Speaker 1: he was willing to forgive. So I think that love

572
00:22:45,632 --> 00:22:49,982
Speaker 1: driving us to fight is a hard concept, but I

573
00:22:50,042 --> 00:22:51,362
Speaker 1: think it all goes back to, we talked about that

574
00:22:51,402 --> 00:22:53,482
Speaker 1: last week a little bit. It all goes back to

575
00:22:53,982 --> 00:22:55,881
Speaker 1: what kind of love is it? Is it earthly love?

576
00:22:56,322 --> 00:22:58,502
Speaker 1: Is it, is it the kingdom love and how do

577
00:22:58,561 --> 00:22:59,221
Speaker 1: I evaluate it?

578
00:22:59,442 --> 00:22:59,672
Speaker 2: Right.

579
00:22:59,911 --> 00:23:01,911
Speaker 3: Well, John, I'll just say when I fight you and

580
00:23:01,952 --> 00:23:05,652
Speaker 3: it's coming, when I eventually fight you, An attempt to

581
00:23:05,692 --> 00:23:09,252
Speaker 3: vanquish you. And successfully vanquish you.

582
00:23:09,272 --> 00:23:09,972
Speaker 2: Yeah, it won't be hard.

583
00:23:10,172 --> 00:23:13,072
Speaker 3: It won't be because of what's in front of me.

584
00:23:14,052 --> 00:23:16,232
Speaker 3: It will be because I love what's behind me.

585
00:23:17,402 --> 00:23:17,752
Speaker 2: What's behind?

586
00:23:18,442 --> 00:23:19,221
Speaker 3: Well, right now it's just.

587
00:23:19,242 --> 00:23:19,901
Speaker 2: It's just a wall.

588
00:23:19,962 --> 00:23:24,922
Speaker 3: It's just your door. But figuratively... It won't be for that.

589
00:23:25,302 --> 00:23:27,122
Speaker 3: It'll be for things I love. It won't be because

590
00:23:27,161 --> 00:23:27,762
Speaker 3: I hate you.

591
00:23:27,922 --> 00:23:28,182
Speaker 1: No.

592
00:23:28,262 --> 00:23:29,882
Speaker 3: You're just in my way. Yeah.

593
00:23:30,302 --> 00:23:32,092
Speaker 2: You were just trying to get to the buffet and...

594
00:23:32,311 --> 00:23:33,752
Speaker 2: And I was right there.

595
00:23:33,992 --> 00:23:36,371
Speaker 3: I love what's behind you, which is the buffet. And

596
00:23:36,391 --> 00:23:38,802
Speaker 3: I got to get through you to get to it. John,

597
00:23:39,442 --> 00:23:41,922
Speaker 3: let's do my segments. First one's Johnny's old jokes. We

598
00:23:41,942 --> 00:23:51,052
Speaker 3: call it Joke About That. John, a police officer pulls

599
00:23:51,092 --> 00:23:53,772
Speaker 3: over a semi-truck. He gets the usual license and registration.

600
00:23:53,792 --> 00:23:55,912
Speaker 3: But he hears strange noises coming from the trailer.

601
00:23:56,552 --> 00:23:59,431
Speaker 2: So he decides to investigate. Inside, he finds 50 penguins.

602
00:23:59,992 --> 00:24:00,712
Speaker 2: So this is a true story.

603
00:24:02,112 --> 00:24:05,131
Speaker 3: Sir, why do you have 50 penguins in your truck?

604
00:24:05,431 --> 00:24:07,592
Speaker 3: The officer asks the driver. Well, they're my friends, and

605
00:24:07,612 --> 00:24:09,191
Speaker 3: we like to go on journeys together in my truck,

606
00:24:09,232 --> 00:24:11,491
Speaker 3: the man replies. I'm sorry, sir, but you can't just

607
00:24:11,652 --> 00:24:14,592
Speaker 3: own 50 penguins. I'm afraid you're going to have to

608
00:24:14,652 --> 00:24:17,931
Speaker 3: take them to the zoo. The man agrees and drives off.

609
00:24:17,952 --> 00:24:19,371
Speaker 3: The next day, the same cop pulls the truck over

610
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:21,432
Speaker 3: again and once again hears strange noises in the trailer.

611
00:24:21,472 --> 00:24:23,332
Speaker 3: He goes to check and finds the same 50 penguins.

612
00:24:23,431 --> 00:24:25,112
Speaker 3: I thought I told you to take these penguins to

613
00:24:25,132 --> 00:24:27,492
Speaker 3: the zoo yesterday, the cop angrily tells the driver.

614
00:24:27,972 --> 00:24:30,662
Speaker 2: I did. They loved it. Today we're going to the beach.

615
00:24:33,012 --> 00:24:34,752
Speaker 3: It's kind of a fun.

616
00:24:34,772 --> 00:24:35,622
Speaker 2: I like that.

617
00:24:35,732 --> 00:24:37,722
Speaker 3: Tell that one to see what she thinks.

618
00:24:37,742 --> 00:24:37,942
Speaker 2: Yeah.

619
00:24:38,702 --> 00:24:40,402
Speaker 3: Okay, John. So we're going to have a little hybrid

620
00:24:40,542 --> 00:24:44,482
Speaker 3: scenario because this week in history is coming, but fast

621
00:24:44,522 --> 00:24:47,881
Speaker 3: on its heels. I wanted to kind of set into

622
00:24:47,942 --> 00:24:52,372
Speaker 3: it a prequel joke that leads into this week in history.

623
00:24:52,391 --> 00:24:54,471
Speaker 3: So it's, we've never done it before, but I want

624
00:24:54,492 --> 00:24:57,091
Speaker 3: to start with an old Mitch Hedberg joke. Mitch Hedberg,

625
00:24:57,351 --> 00:24:59,092
Speaker 3: one of the, again, he's a Mount Rushmore kind of

626
00:24:59,132 --> 00:25:01,311
Speaker 3: a comic. I know we only have four. on Mount

627
00:25:01,331 --> 00:25:03,572
Speaker 3: Rushmore technically, but Mitch Hedberg, probably if you think of

628
00:25:03,592 --> 00:25:07,892
Speaker 3: a one-liner comedians or people who do like absurdist comedy, yeah.

629
00:25:08,152 --> 00:25:08,972
Speaker 2: Mitch Hedberg would.

630
00:25:08,851 --> 00:25:11,392
Speaker 3: Be like, it'd be him. Steven, right. Maybe Dimitri Martin,

631
00:25:11,452 --> 00:25:12,352
Speaker 3: depending on your age.

632
00:25:12,632 --> 00:25:12,992
Speaker 2: Yeah.

633
00:25:13,132 --> 00:25:17,792
Speaker 3: But Mitch Hedberg, incredible, incredible. Mitch Hedberg famously said an

634
00:25:17,902 --> 00:25:21,962
Speaker 3: escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You

635
00:25:21,982 --> 00:25:24,401
Speaker 3: should never see an escalator temporarily out of order. Son,

636
00:25:24,561 --> 00:25:29,101
Speaker 3: just escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

637
00:25:29,121 --> 00:25:29,201
Speaker 1: Yeah.

638
00:25:30,722 --> 00:25:32,942
Speaker 3: And so with that, we will lead now into This

639
00:25:32,982 --> 00:25:41,052
Speaker 3: Week in History. We call it Talk About Then. John,

640
00:25:41,212 --> 00:25:46,071
Speaker 3: this week, 1892, the first escalator is patented.

641
00:25:46,092 --> 00:25:46,692
Speaker 2: Man, that's early.

642
00:25:47,292 --> 00:25:52,082
Speaker 3: By American inventor Jesse Wilford Reno. The idea for his

643
00:25:52,962 --> 00:25:56,542
Speaker 3: inclined elevator, this is air quotes I'm giving, was originally

644
00:25:56,561 --> 00:25:58,622
Speaker 3: part of his proposal to build the underground New York

645
00:25:58,661 --> 00:26:02,331
Speaker 3: City subway. Okay. The subway proposal was rejected, but the

646
00:26:02,351 --> 00:26:06,052
Speaker 3: inclined elevator caught on. It included a rubber-coated moving handrail,

647
00:26:06,112 --> 00:26:10,212
Speaker 3: which that stayed, right? The handrail that goes a little

648
00:26:10,232 --> 00:26:11,632
Speaker 3: faster than the steps somehow.

649
00:26:11,772 --> 00:26:12,972
Speaker 2: You're like, ah, here it goes.

650
00:26:13,922 --> 00:26:17,802
Speaker 3: And a comb of projected fingers on the ends to

651
00:26:17,822 --> 00:26:20,122
Speaker 3: help prevent feet from getting caught in the mechanism. Again,

652
00:26:20,502 --> 00:26:24,961
Speaker 3: that's still a design element. So he nailed it, whatever

653
00:26:24,982 --> 00:26:27,902
Speaker 3: he did. The first one was demonstrated at Coney Island,

654
00:26:27,942 --> 00:26:32,742
Speaker 3: New York, and transported some 75,000 people during its two-week

655
00:26:32,802 --> 00:26:36,522
Speaker 3: stay there. So it was a mobile thing, machine. And

656
00:26:36,581 --> 00:26:40,632
Speaker 3: then it was moved to Manhattan, the Manhattan entrance of

657
00:26:40,672 --> 00:26:41,512
Speaker 3: the Brooklyn Bridge.

658
00:26:41,752 --> 00:26:41,972
Speaker 2: Wow.

659
00:26:42,512 --> 00:26:46,671
Speaker 3: So that's a big hub. So it got to Coney Island. Yeah.

660
00:26:46,672 --> 00:26:46,932
Speaker 3: 75,000 people.

661
00:26:46,952 --> 00:26:48,372
Speaker 2: All right. Dry run.

662
00:26:48,931 --> 00:26:52,361
Speaker 3: Nobody died. Nobody got sucked into the gears or whatever. Yeah.

663
00:26:52,902 --> 00:26:54,242
Speaker 3: Let's move it to the Brooklyn Bridge.

664
00:26:54,262 --> 00:26:56,122
Speaker 2: Were you afraid as a kid of getting sucked into

665
00:26:56,141 --> 00:26:56,422
Speaker 2: the gears?

666
00:26:56,442 --> 00:26:56,662
Speaker 1: Always.

667
00:26:56,722 --> 00:26:58,842
Speaker 3: And my mom's terrified of everything. She was one of

668
00:26:58,862 --> 00:27:02,462
Speaker 3: those overprotective moms. So it was always like, kids, watch your.

669
00:27:02,882 --> 00:27:03,082
Speaker 2: Yeah.

670
00:27:03,282 --> 00:27:03,962
Speaker 3: Watch yourselves.

671
00:27:04,342 --> 00:27:05,142
Speaker 2: Your pant cuff.

672
00:27:05,342 --> 00:27:06,262
Speaker 3: You know, it's always.

673
00:27:06,522 --> 00:27:09,061
Speaker 2: Your shoestrings. Yeah. But there are the.

674
00:27:09,081 --> 00:27:10,982
Speaker 3: It does happen. Every now and then a shoestring gets

675
00:27:11,022 --> 00:27:13,582
Speaker 3: pulled in, some kid's hair, whatever. It can happen.

676
00:27:13,601 --> 00:27:13,962
Speaker 2: It would hurt.

677
00:27:14,351 --> 00:27:14,832
Speaker 3: It would hurt.

678
00:27:15,331 --> 00:27:16,652
Speaker 2: And we just pull it out, but it would hurt

679
00:27:16,891 --> 00:27:17,771
Speaker 2: on the way. Yeah.

680
00:27:18,032 --> 00:27:19,032
Speaker 3: It's not your best day.

681
00:27:19,411 --> 00:27:19,711
Speaker 1: No.

682
00:27:20,311 --> 00:27:24,622
Speaker 3: John, speaking of not your best day, this week... in 1661,

683
00:27:24,621 --> 00:27:27,901
Speaker 3: the last person was hanged in Boston just for being

684
00:27:27,942 --> 00:27:30,082
Speaker 3: a Quaker. Did you know this? The people were hanged

685
00:27:30,121 --> 00:27:30,902
Speaker 3: for being Quakers?

686
00:27:31,422 --> 00:27:32,942
Speaker 2: You hanged the peaceful people?

687
00:27:32,982 --> 00:27:35,202
Speaker 3: When I think of being a Quaker, I don't think

688
00:27:35,242 --> 00:27:37,601
Speaker 3: of like, we got to stop them. But this is

689
00:27:37,641 --> 00:27:42,022
Speaker 3: where religious extremism comes in because William Ledra was hanged

690
00:27:42,742 --> 00:27:46,152
Speaker 3: this week, 1661, for returning to Boston after banishment for

691
00:27:46,172 --> 00:27:48,052
Speaker 3: being a Quaker. At the time, it was a crime

692
00:27:48,092 --> 00:27:50,432
Speaker 3: in Boston to be a Quaker. Quakers or a Christian

693
00:27:50,452 --> 00:27:53,152
Speaker 3: religious group that believes God speaks directly to individuals and

694
00:27:53,232 --> 00:27:54,392
Speaker 3: not just through the clergy.

695
00:27:54,452 --> 00:27:55,071
Speaker 2: So here we go.

696
00:27:55,952 --> 00:27:58,942
Speaker 3: Which was considered heresy to the Puritans. So the Puritans

697
00:27:58,962 --> 00:28:03,322
Speaker 3: and the Quakers were like, no, sir. They fought. They

698
00:28:03,362 --> 00:28:05,221
Speaker 3: didn't just love what was behind them. They hated what

699
00:28:05,242 --> 00:28:05,781
Speaker 3: was in front of them.

700
00:28:05,802 --> 00:28:06,402
Speaker 2: Come on now.

701
00:28:06,522 --> 00:28:09,201
Speaker 3: Back to your quote. As he was being prepared for

702
00:28:09,222 --> 00:28:13,012
Speaker 3: the gallows, he said, forbearing my testimony for the Lord

703
00:28:13,052 --> 00:28:15,512
Speaker 3: against deceivers and the deceived, I am brought here to suffer.

704
00:28:17,532 --> 00:28:20,382
Speaker 3: Punishments for being a Quaker included being Branded with an

705
00:28:20,601 --> 00:28:25,022
Speaker 3: H for heretic. Boring through the tongue with a hot iron.

706
00:28:25,042 --> 00:28:28,752
Speaker 3: I mean, these people, just for, oh my gosh, lashings,

707
00:28:28,952 --> 00:28:32,152
Speaker 3: ears chopped off, and banishment. I would take banishment. I

708
00:28:32,172 --> 00:28:33,492
Speaker 3: don't know why banishment was last.

709
00:28:33,772 --> 00:28:35,202
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I just choose banishment right now?

710
00:28:35,212 --> 00:28:37,772
Speaker 3: When you're building a list, and you got boring through

711
00:28:37,792 --> 00:28:39,392
Speaker 3: your tongue with a hot iron, and then you go,

712
00:28:39,812 --> 00:28:40,941
Speaker 3: or we could ask you to leave.

713
00:28:41,062 --> 00:28:45,182
Speaker 2: I would go banishment, then lashes. Start with banishment. I'll

714
00:28:45,222 --> 00:28:47,802
Speaker 2: take it. Banishment for $ 20, Bob. Good grief.

715
00:28:49,322 --> 00:28:53,932
Speaker 3: Between 1659 and 1661, rather, two-year period, four Quakers were

716
00:28:53,962 --> 00:28:58,432
Speaker 3: hanging in Boston and becoming known as the Boston Martyrs.

717
00:28:58,712 --> 00:29:01,552
Speaker 3: King Charles II put an end to the execution in

718
00:29:01,552 --> 00:29:03,652
Speaker 3: 1661 shortly after Leder's hanging, so he was the last.

719
00:29:04,532 --> 00:29:05,772
Speaker 2: We're a little late there, Charles.

720
00:29:05,812 --> 00:29:09,492
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, Charles. How about banishment as a policy? Quakers,

721
00:29:09,992 --> 00:29:13,282
Speaker 3: also called the Religious Society of Friends, are a Christian

722
00:29:13,302 --> 00:29:15,241
Speaker 3: religious group who generally are united in belief of the

723
00:29:15,262 --> 00:29:18,441
Speaker 3: ability of each person to experientially access that of God

724
00:29:18,502 --> 00:29:21,212
Speaker 3: in everyone. They are known for the refusal to participate

725
00:29:21,232 --> 00:29:25,862
Speaker 3: in war, wearing a plain dress, like yourself, refusal to

726
00:29:26,022 --> 00:29:29,882
Speaker 3: swear oaths, like yourself. I'll be there. I just left

727
00:29:29,922 --> 00:29:31,202
Speaker 3: the house. That's John's oath.

728
00:29:31,322 --> 00:29:33,782
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm on my way. Who was at lunch first today?

729
00:29:33,982 --> 00:29:36,282
Speaker 3: I'm on my way. Are you, John?

730
00:29:36,302 --> 00:29:37,022
Speaker 2: I was.

731
00:29:37,132 --> 00:29:43,272
Speaker 3: You'll never be a Quaker. Opposition to slavery and teetotalism.

732
00:29:43,332 --> 00:29:48,232
Speaker 3: So it's a balance. You know, they're like.

733
00:29:49,002 --> 00:29:50,682
Speaker 2: Slavery is bad. So is booze.

734
00:29:50,782 --> 00:29:52,942
Speaker 3: And we hold those each in equal disdain.

735
00:29:53,522 --> 00:29:54,602
Speaker 2: One of those I agree with.

736
00:29:54,642 --> 00:29:59,302
Speaker 3: Yeah. We know which one. John, finally, this week in 1894,

737
00:29:59,302 --> 00:30:04,292
Speaker 3: I've included this one because it's a friend of the show.

738
00:30:04,592 --> 00:30:05,372
Speaker 3: Not a sponsor yet.

739
00:30:05,672 --> 00:30:06,272
Speaker 2: Maybe they could be.

740
00:30:06,292 --> 00:30:06,832
Speaker 3: It would be nice.

741
00:30:06,852 --> 00:30:07,292
Speaker 2: Maybe after this.

742
00:30:07,332 --> 00:30:10,092
Speaker 3: This would be a big sponsor. The soft drink Coca-Cola

743
00:30:10,132 --> 00:30:13,152
Speaker 3: is sold in bottles for the first time. The soft

744
00:30:13,172 --> 00:30:16,092
Speaker 3: drink Coca-Cola was invented by John S. Pemberton in 1886.

745
00:30:16,092 --> 00:30:16,772
Speaker 2: Who called it?

746
00:30:16,812 --> 00:30:18,002
Speaker 3: Do you want to know what it is? it was

747
00:30:18,062 --> 00:30:19,681
Speaker 3: originally called? Coca-Cola?

748
00:30:20,962 --> 00:30:22,502
Speaker 1: I don't know, but a minute ago you said Coca-Cola

749
00:30:22,542 --> 00:30:24,322
Speaker 1: like somebody, like our grandparents would say.

750
00:30:24,362 --> 00:30:25,342
Speaker 2: Coca-Cola. Soda Pop?

751
00:30:26,862 --> 00:30:29,542
Speaker 1: John, let me just say this. Is it a derivative

752
00:30:29,562 --> 00:30:29,962
Speaker 1: of the name?

753
00:30:30,922 --> 00:30:31,931
Speaker 3: It is not even close.

754
00:30:32,002 --> 00:30:35,852
Speaker 2: It is a terrible, terrible name. Go for it then.

755
00:30:35,872 --> 00:30:35,991
Speaker 1: Tonic?

756
00:30:36,722 --> 00:30:41,882
Speaker 3: Esteemed brain tonic, and intellectual beverage. Esteemed brain tonic? First

757
00:30:41,942 --> 00:30:43,622
Speaker 3: of all, none of that fits on a bottle. It's

758
00:30:43,661 --> 00:30:47,022
Speaker 3: a gigantic, it's a novel. Hey, can you get me

759
00:30:47,042 --> 00:30:50,002
Speaker 3: an esteemed brain tonic and intellectual beverage real quick?

760
00:30:50,762 --> 00:30:51,792
Speaker 2: They're like, you mean Coca-Cola?

761
00:30:51,892 --> 00:30:52,472
Speaker 3: Yeah, whatever.

762
00:30:52,552 --> 00:30:54,732
Speaker 1: They got an EBT or whatever. Give me an EBT

763
00:30:54,792 --> 00:31:01,432
Speaker 1: and a Coca-Cola. EBT, I'd be eb-timate.

764
00:31:01,952 --> 00:31:04,572
Speaker 2: Ebtimate. It just rolls right off the tongue. It's horrible.

765
00:31:04,592 --> 00:31:04,961
Speaker 2: I tell you.

766
00:31:05,062 --> 00:31:08,052
Speaker 1: And it's all in flowing cursive, probably. But Coca-Cola had

767
00:31:08,072 --> 00:31:10,492
Speaker 1: to sound weird, too, to them. Right.

768
00:31:10,532 --> 00:31:12,452
Speaker 2: A cola. Were there other colas?

769
00:31:12,472 --> 00:31:13,032
Speaker 3: Yeah.

770
00:31:13,052 --> 00:31:14,592
Speaker 2: That they had to be like, we're Coca-Cola.

771
00:31:14,672 --> 00:31:16,751
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it had cocaine. Well, no, but I'm saying— Well,

772
00:31:16,772 --> 00:31:18,241
Speaker 1: it was from the Coca plant. But I'm saying, were

773
00:31:18,282 --> 00:31:19,902
Speaker 1: there other colas.

774
00:31:19,462 --> 00:31:20,602
Speaker 3: At the time?

775
00:31:20,622 --> 00:31:23,842
Speaker 2: Yes. I think cola— In the cola world, we're the Coca-Cola.

776
00:31:23,982 --> 00:31:24,142
Speaker 3: Yeah.

777
00:31:24,382 --> 00:31:26,692
Speaker 2: Actually— Because there was Pepsi-Cola. Go watch Food for the

778
00:31:26,722 --> 00:31:27,312
Speaker 2: World of America.

779
00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:28,472
Speaker 3: Was Pepsi-Cola already around?

780
00:31:28,592 --> 00:31:31,352
Speaker 2: No. Go watch Food to Build America.

781
00:31:31,392 --> 00:31:32,902
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of weird things that come out of

782
00:31:32,922 --> 00:31:36,022
Speaker 1: those like drugstore apothecary kind of things at that time.

783
00:31:36,042 --> 00:31:37,742
Speaker 2: It's so weird because it's easy for us to think

784
00:31:37,782 --> 00:31:38,742
Speaker 2: of like we've evolved.

785
00:31:38,762 --> 00:31:41,582
Speaker 3: Like they had brain tonics they were buying, which now

786
00:31:41,622 --> 00:31:42,802
Speaker 3: we just drink as sodas.

787
00:31:44,132 --> 00:31:45,792
Speaker 2: It's all over Instagram right now.

788
00:31:45,832 --> 00:31:48,612
Speaker 3: But I'm saying it's still around. Like people are being like–

789
00:31:48,812 --> 00:31:52,152
Speaker 3: if I say, for instance, I've stopped taking melatonin because

790
00:31:52,192 --> 00:31:53,712
Speaker 3: it gives me headaches and I realize it now that

791
00:31:53,732 --> 00:31:56,502
Speaker 3: that's what's giving me headaches. And that's a certain percentage

792
00:31:56,522 --> 00:31:58,462
Speaker 3: of people that take melatonin. They get headaches. And I

793
00:31:58,482 --> 00:32:00,102
Speaker 3: realize now I'll wake up with a headache like once

794
00:32:00,142 --> 00:32:02,442
Speaker 3: a week, a horrible headache. It's the melatonin. So I've

795
00:32:02,462 --> 00:32:04,942
Speaker 3: stopped taking it. And I'm like asking Curry, like, what

796
00:32:04,962 --> 00:32:06,562
Speaker 3: should I take instead? I don't want to get on

797
00:32:06,742 --> 00:32:10,232
Speaker 3: diphenhydramine because that could be bad for me, too. And

798
00:32:10,252 --> 00:32:12,231
Speaker 3: then she looked it up and it's like a million,

799
00:32:12,252 --> 00:32:16,912
Speaker 3: like all of the diffuser people. The essential oils people

800
00:32:16,931 --> 00:32:19,112
Speaker 3: come out of the woodwork in these search results. Oh,

801
00:32:19,152 --> 00:32:20,332
Speaker 3: it's magnesium. It's this.

802
00:32:20,411 --> 00:32:22,332
Speaker 2: It's, you know, cloves.

803
00:32:22,411 --> 00:32:25,362
Speaker 3: And you've got to drape garlic over your chest. I

804
00:32:25,382 --> 00:32:27,272
Speaker 3: don't know what you do. A salve that I have to.

805
00:32:27,442 --> 00:32:28,502
Speaker 2: Leeches. It is.

806
00:32:28,562 --> 00:32:31,002
Speaker 3: It's like we're in. It's easy to be like we've

807
00:32:31,042 --> 00:32:33,122
Speaker 3: come out of the dark ages and there's no brain tonics.

808
00:32:33,161 --> 00:32:36,522
Speaker 3: But then yet we do have like. It's just I

809
00:32:36,842 --> 00:32:38,721
Speaker 3: don't think we're ever going to really graduate from that

810
00:32:38,822 --> 00:32:42,282
Speaker 3: idea of like people want health.

811
00:32:43,142 --> 00:32:46,422
Speaker 2: But they want also just like. Chug something to get it. Yeah.

812
00:32:46,642 --> 00:32:46,902
Speaker 2: You know?

813
00:32:47,262 --> 00:32:48,242
Speaker 3: Like, just give me a tonic.

814
00:32:48,742 --> 00:32:48,962
Speaker 2: Yeah.

815
00:32:48,982 --> 00:32:51,102
Speaker 3: Or I want to enjoy this soda, but it's easier to.

816
00:32:51,092 --> 00:32:54,032
Speaker 2: Enjoy if I think I'm doing something good for myself. Like,

817
00:32:54,072 --> 00:32:54,892
Speaker 2: this isn't a Yoo-Hoo.

818
00:32:54,931 --> 00:32:56,112
Speaker 3: This is a chocolate tonic.

819
00:32:56,272 --> 00:32:58,431
Speaker 2: Well. You got to shake it. This is why I

820
00:32:58,452 --> 00:33:00,332
Speaker 2: drink coffee, because, you know, they say people who drink

821
00:33:00,352 --> 00:33:01,052
Speaker 2: coffee live longer.

822
00:33:01,572 --> 00:33:01,952
Speaker 3: Is that right?

823
00:33:02,232 --> 00:33:04,312
Speaker 2: I wrote about it in the Ultimate Guide for the

824
00:33:04,342 --> 00:33:05,032
Speaker 2: Avid Endorsement.

825
00:33:05,212 --> 00:33:06,722
Speaker 3: Oh, a book plug from John.

826
00:33:07,202 --> 00:33:08,022
Speaker 2: It's an award-winning.

827
00:33:08,161 --> 00:33:11,392
Speaker 3: It is an award-winning book. How would someone acquire said book, John?

828
00:33:11,411 --> 00:33:12,452
Speaker 2: Probably just go to Amazon.

829
00:33:12,992 --> 00:33:13,712
Speaker 3: Is that the best way?

830
00:33:13,732 --> 00:33:16,272
Speaker 2: That's your best buy. Do you get paid? Yeah. Okay,

831
00:33:16,332 --> 00:33:17,171
Speaker 2: all right.

832
00:33:17,212 --> 00:33:20,492

834
00:33:21,472 --> 00:33:23,522
Speaker 2: I actually really stand by that book. Well, I mean,

835
00:33:23,802 --> 00:33:26,322
Speaker 2: why would you not? It won gold at the American

836
00:33:26,342 --> 00:33:28,962
Speaker 2: Book Fest for humor. Yeah, it was number one.

837
00:33:29,732 --> 00:33:33,192
Speaker 3: I won bronze and hadn't even written a book. They

838
00:33:33,292 --> 00:33:36,572
Speaker 3: were just like, is anybody out here? Has anyone read

839
00:33:36,632 --> 00:33:36,972
Speaker 3: a book?

840
00:33:36,992 --> 00:33:37,552
Speaker 2: This guy?

841
00:33:37,772 --> 00:33:39,332
Speaker 3: No. That's a high.

842
00:33:39,352 --> 00:33:43,732
Speaker 2: I don't like to brag, Johnny, but no one's ever

843
00:33:43,772 --> 00:33:44,182
Speaker 2: heard of that.

844
00:33:44,232 --> 00:33:45,662
Speaker 3: Are the awards going to end up on this wall

845
00:33:45,702 --> 00:33:46,102
Speaker 3: behind us?

846
00:33:46,142 --> 00:33:49,241
Speaker 2: You know what? I haven't figured out the awards yet.

847
00:33:49,262 --> 00:33:52,102
Speaker 2: The big trophy case of John? The shrine to yourself?

848
00:33:52,142 --> 00:33:54,062
Speaker 2: I think what I want to do, and this is

849
00:33:54,122 --> 00:33:56,142
Speaker 2: weird because you're going to make fun of me on

850
00:33:56,161 --> 00:33:56,941
Speaker 2: it and so will Andrew.

851
00:33:56,962 --> 00:33:57,902
Speaker 3: That's part of the show.

852
00:33:57,922 --> 00:34:00,582
Speaker 2: So it'll mess with me. Because I don't want to

853
00:34:00,602 --> 00:34:01,762
Speaker 2: be that guy also.

854
00:34:01,782 --> 00:34:04,582
Speaker 1: But I mean, it's not just to honor yourself. It's like,

855
00:34:04,622 --> 00:34:06,462
Speaker 1: these are my life experiences. Well, that's really what I'm

856
00:34:06,482 --> 00:34:08,422
Speaker 1: trying to make The Office, about my life experiences. And

857
00:34:08,462 --> 00:34:09,042
Speaker 1: I'm trying to have less.

858
00:34:09,062 --> 00:34:11,122
Speaker 3: Well, the books you've collaborated on, it's easier to do

859
00:34:11,142 --> 00:34:13,912
Speaker 3: because you're the collaborator, so you're honoring the other person, too.

860
00:34:13,922 --> 00:34:14,701
Speaker 2: Well, I want a picture of me.

861
00:34:14,702 --> 00:34:15,302
Speaker 3: In equal measure.

862
00:34:15,462 --> 00:34:19,442
Speaker 1: Like, I want not-so-black-and-white with me and Reggie in New

863
00:34:19,502 --> 00:34:22,322
Speaker 1: York at the studios for Good Morning America.

864
00:34:22,342 --> 00:34:24,761
Speaker 3: That's great. Can it be a black-and-white photo? Come on now.

865
00:34:24,782 --> 00:34:25,982
Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be a nice little.

866
00:34:25,872 --> 00:34:26,932
Speaker 2: Play on the concept?

867
00:34:26,962 --> 00:34:27,092
Speaker 3: Not-so.

868
00:34:27,431 --> 00:34:29,192
Speaker 2: And then I want one of me and Mr.

869
00:34:29,212 --> 00:34:31,232
Speaker 1: Haslam when he, you know, he won a business book

870
00:34:31,272 --> 00:34:37,131
Speaker 1: award for that, uh, for co-piloting and he's 93, four now,

871
00:34:37,152 --> 00:34:40,031
Speaker 1: you know, amazing book, Tennessee history, all the things, Tennessee

872
00:34:40,052 --> 00:34:44,362
Speaker 1: football history. Um, and I want one with, uh, maybe

873
00:34:44,382 --> 00:34:47,342
Speaker 1: with Pat Bradley for, um, born for rescue.

874
00:34:47,402 --> 00:34:48,622
Speaker 2: They do such amazing work.

875
00:34:49,102 --> 00:34:52,832
Speaker 1: Um, we support them to end sex trafficking and, East

876
00:34:52,892 --> 00:34:54,192
Speaker 1: Africa and also in the United States.

877
00:34:54,892 --> 00:34:56,952
Speaker 2: Um, yeah, I just, again, I want to have a picture,

878
00:34:56,972 --> 00:34:58,492
Speaker 2: you know, Tyler Trent.

879
00:34:58,532 --> 00:34:59,492
Speaker 1: I mean, I got a great picture of me and

880
00:34:59,512 --> 00:35:01,052
Speaker 1: him at the college football hall of fame when he

881
00:35:01,072 --> 00:35:02,272
Speaker 1: won the Disney spirit award.

882
00:35:02,332 --> 00:35:05,582
Speaker 3: Let me just say that I was that guy when

883
00:35:05,602 --> 00:35:07,822
Speaker 3: I started my comedy career that I got the fast

884
00:35:07,882 --> 00:35:10,522
Speaker 3: forward button hit for me by Tim Hawkins. He took

885
00:35:10,542 --> 00:35:12,242
Speaker 3: me on the road. I was four years in. And

886
00:35:12,282 --> 00:35:13,782
Speaker 3: so I never really did the whole thing of like,

887
00:35:13,862 --> 00:35:15,281
Speaker 3: I'm going to take a bunch of photos with Tim

888
00:35:15,342 --> 00:35:17,202
Speaker 3: on the road of the shows. Cause I didn't want to,

889
00:35:17,372 --> 00:35:19,152
Speaker 3: I almost was like, I'm not making any sudden movements.

890
00:35:19,232 --> 00:35:19,492
Speaker 2: Yeah.

891
00:35:19,672 --> 00:35:21,212
Speaker 3: Yeah. I want to act like I've been here.

892
00:35:21,452 --> 00:35:21,612
Speaker 1: Yeah.

893
00:35:21,872 --> 00:35:23,972
Speaker 3: And it's one of my big regrets that I don't

894
00:35:24,012 --> 00:35:25,972
Speaker 3: have a ton of photos from those shows of being

895
00:35:25,992 --> 00:35:27,652
Speaker 3: on the bus with Tim and hanging out. Like I

896
00:35:27,692 --> 00:35:30,982
Speaker 3: was afraid to like, so I dimmed my light for

897
00:35:31,002 --> 00:35:33,122
Speaker 3: people a little bit. That was a, that was a mistake.

898
00:35:33,202 --> 00:35:35,562
Speaker 3: Rick Roberts, who's our dear friend of the show. He

899
00:35:35,622 --> 00:35:37,482
Speaker 3: said the regret from his career of all those years

900
00:35:37,522 --> 00:35:39,201
Speaker 3: on the road, being a road dog comic. He goes,

901
00:35:39,602 --> 00:35:41,732
Speaker 3: I worked with every major comic that you can think

902
00:35:41,792 --> 00:35:43,952
Speaker 3: of that now is a big, because we work together

903
00:35:44,072 --> 00:35:45,911
Speaker 3: and I don't have photos with them. And I wish

904
00:35:45,932 --> 00:35:46,052
Speaker 3: I did.

905
00:35:46,072 --> 00:35:47,692
Speaker 1: You know, what's crazy is I went to look for

906
00:35:47,732 --> 00:35:50,262
Speaker 1: a picture of me and Tim and Because I went

907
00:35:50,442 --> 00:35:52,182
Speaker 1: out with y'all some and I wrote his book with

908
00:35:52,232 --> 00:35:52,892
Speaker 1: him and.

909
00:35:53,092 --> 00:35:54,152
Speaker 2: I can't find any, not one.

910
00:35:54,292 --> 00:35:54,712
Speaker 3: It's a bummer.

911
00:35:55,232 --> 00:35:56,592
Speaker 1: But surely that time that you and I were on

912
00:35:56,612 --> 00:35:59,612
Speaker 1: the bus together for that, what is it, four day

913
00:35:59,852 --> 00:36:00,352
Speaker 1: tour or whatever?

914
00:36:00,372 --> 00:36:02,192
Speaker 3: We just wouldn't have thought like, hey, let's stop and

915
00:36:02,572 --> 00:36:04,962
Speaker 3: we just were experiencing it. Yeah. We think we're better

916
00:36:04,982 --> 00:36:06,742
Speaker 3: because we're like, we're not those people that stop and

917
00:36:06,782 --> 00:36:08,662
Speaker 3: take photos. But you need one photo.

918
00:36:08,702 --> 00:36:09,262
Speaker 2: I see one.

919
00:36:09,802 --> 00:36:10,302
Speaker 3: Take one photo.

920
00:36:10,322 --> 00:36:12,062
Speaker 2: There's got to be one out there. Where are all

921
00:36:12,082 --> 00:36:12,622
Speaker 2: your photos?

922
00:36:13,202 --> 00:36:13,722
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know.

923
00:36:13,982 --> 00:36:15,592
Speaker 2: Like I'm saying, do you have a cache?

924
00:36:15,872 --> 00:36:17,062
Speaker 3: I guess they're in the cloud or.

925
00:36:17,452 --> 00:36:19,572
Speaker 2: Like, you need to start searching. Yeah, you're right. You

926
00:36:19,612 --> 00:36:20,872
Speaker 2: might find stuff that'll go on my wall.

927
00:36:21,642 --> 00:36:22,502
Speaker 3: Oh, can I make the wall?

928
00:36:22,662 --> 00:36:24,182
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'll send it over.

929
00:36:24,262 --> 00:36:26,822
Speaker 3: All right. Get your printer ink ready, buddy.

930
00:36:27,002 --> 00:36:27,462
Speaker 2: Come on, man.

931
00:36:27,662 --> 00:36:28,062
Speaker 3: It's coming.

932
00:36:28,422 --> 00:36:28,622
Speaker 1: Yeah.

933
00:36:28,762 --> 00:36:29,402
Speaker 3: I don't know. Well.

934
00:36:30,902 --> 00:36:31,242
Speaker 2: You don't know?

935
00:36:31,442 --> 00:36:31,642
Speaker 3: I don't.

936
00:36:32,382 --> 00:36:32,952
Speaker 2: Is that the end of.

937
00:36:33,182 --> 00:36:35,422
Speaker 3: I think that's the end of this. Wait, hold on. Yeah,

938
00:36:35,462 --> 00:36:37,562
Speaker 3: that was it. That was it. I will say this

939
00:36:37,582 --> 00:36:40,482
Speaker 3: about Coca-Cola, though. You're a Coke Zero person, and I

940
00:36:40,522 --> 00:36:41,682
Speaker 3: think Coke Zero is awful.

941
00:36:41,802 --> 00:36:44,282
Speaker 2: It tastes just like Coke. It doesn't at all.

942
00:36:44,582 --> 00:36:44,742
Speaker 1: You.

943
00:36:45,612 --> 00:36:48,592
Speaker 3: Listen, I need listeners to please send us a note

944
00:36:48,812 --> 00:36:51,352
Speaker 3: if you agree with me. And it's not just because

945
00:36:51,372 --> 00:36:53,472
Speaker 3: I'm addicted to Diet Coke. Diet Coke is better than

946
00:36:53,492 --> 00:36:54,032
Speaker 3: Coke Zero.

947
00:36:54,792 --> 00:36:57,292
Speaker 2: I think I disagree with you and everything you stand for.

948
00:36:57,532 --> 00:37:00,102
Speaker 3: Now, my favorite diet drink is Dr. Pepper Zero Sugar

949
00:37:00,122 --> 00:37:01,372
Speaker 3: because it tastes more like Dr.

950
00:37:01,392 --> 00:37:02,181
Speaker 2: Pepper for me.

951
00:37:02,252 --> 00:37:02,852
Speaker 3: It's very good.

952
00:37:03,162 --> 00:37:06,232
Speaker 2: Diet Coke tastes nothing like Coke. Can you admit that?

953
00:37:06,392 --> 00:37:07,512
Speaker 3: Yes, but it has its own thing.

954
00:37:07,552 --> 00:37:08,632
Speaker 2: But you like its own thing.

955
00:37:08,672 --> 00:37:11,852
Speaker 3: Well, I like not having 150 calories per eight ounces.

956
00:37:11,932 --> 00:37:13,072
Speaker 2: I can respect someone.

957
00:37:13,092 --> 00:37:14,411
Speaker 3: Because I'm going to drink a lot of them.

958
00:37:14,552 --> 00:37:16,911
Speaker 1: I can respect someone who likes something that's awful just

959
00:37:16,932 --> 00:37:17,532
Speaker 1: because they like it.

960
00:37:17,712 --> 00:37:20,152
Speaker 2: That's fine. If they know that it's different than the original.

961
00:37:20,172 --> 00:37:22,572
Speaker 3: Said by the guy who drinks like Topo Chico or

962
00:37:22,592 --> 00:37:24,372
Speaker 3: whatever the heck mineral water you drink.

963
00:37:24,392 --> 00:37:25,122
Speaker 2: I like Topo Chico.

964
00:37:25,272 --> 00:37:27,742
Speaker 3: It's all bitter. Like water should not taste like anything.

965
00:37:27,762 --> 00:37:29,762
Speaker 3: It tastes like ore.

966
00:37:29,782 --> 00:37:30,922
Speaker 2: That's how you get your water.

967
00:37:30,942 --> 00:37:31,922
Speaker 3: It tastes like iron ore.

968
00:37:31,942 --> 00:37:35,202
Speaker 2: Iron ore. Like, hmm, this is a tonic. There's a

969
00:37:35,212 --> 00:37:36,132
Speaker 2: little bit of hair on your teeth.

970
00:37:36,472 --> 00:37:38,472
Speaker 3: Stop it, John. I like it.

971
00:37:38,632 --> 00:37:39,832
Speaker 2: Tonic water. Give me some more platinum.

972
00:37:39,932 --> 00:37:42,072
Speaker 3: I'm only upset about it because tonic water killed my father.

973
00:37:42,232 --> 00:37:43,192
Speaker 2: Did it? Oh, that was.

974
00:37:44,172 --> 00:37:46,212
Speaker 1: You know, I tell that joke so much, and people don't.

975
00:37:46,592 --> 00:37:47,032
Speaker 3: People don't laugh.

976
00:37:47,052 --> 00:37:47,982
Speaker 2: They don't know what to do.

977
00:37:48,192 --> 00:37:49,872
Speaker 3: It's fun. I like putting people on edge.

978
00:37:49,892 --> 00:37:51,762
Speaker 2: I almost ran into someone. I do it all the time.

979
00:37:51,902 --> 00:37:54,402
Speaker 2: You say, that's what killed dad? I say, killed my uncle. Yeah.

980
00:37:54,822 --> 00:37:57,161
Speaker 1: Like, I almost ran someone over running back and forth.

981
00:37:57,182 --> 00:37:59,342
Speaker 1: They were putting food out for Sunday morning.

982
00:37:59,362 --> 00:38:00,882
Speaker 2: I was like, oop, I almost ran into you. That's

983
00:38:00,902 --> 00:38:03,552
Speaker 2: what killed my uncle. Uncle's not as funny.

984
00:38:03,572 --> 00:38:06,312
Speaker 3: I don't know why. Dad feels more personal. It feels

985
00:38:06,352 --> 00:38:09,392
Speaker 3: like it's going to have trauma associated with it. You're

986
00:38:09,432 --> 00:38:10,951
Speaker 3: not necessarily being close to your uncle.

987
00:38:12,022 --> 00:38:15,062
Speaker 1: I think that's the point. I'm trying to distance myself from...

988
00:38:15,962 --> 00:38:18,402
Speaker 1: You start joking about your dad dying. You've got to

989
00:38:18,422 --> 00:38:19,522
Speaker 1: be a real comedian to do that.

990
00:38:19,622 --> 00:38:21,422
Speaker 3: I think where it came from, honestly, that idea in

991
00:38:21,442 --> 00:38:23,002
Speaker 3: my head, because I've been saying that for years, something

992
00:38:23,042 --> 00:38:24,972
Speaker 3: really random and strange would happen, and I'd go, that's

993
00:38:24,992 --> 00:38:27,842
Speaker 3: what killed my dad. Uh, and it's just something funny

994
00:38:27,862 --> 00:38:29,542
Speaker 3: I would say, but I think that the root of

995
00:38:29,582 --> 00:38:32,692
Speaker 3: that joke in my mind is from naked gun. When

996
00:38:32,732 --> 00:38:35,772
Speaker 3: the guy, the villain falls off the railing at the stadium,

997
00:38:36,332 --> 00:38:40,092
Speaker 3: he lands and then a steamroller steamrolls him. And then

998
00:38:40,132 --> 00:38:43,192
Speaker 3: a marching band walks over the pancake body. And then

999
00:38:43,752 --> 00:38:45,672
Speaker 3: Leslie Nielsen goes, what a horrible way to die. My

1000
00:38:45,732 --> 00:38:49,412
Speaker 3: father died. I think that's where the, the, the kernel of,

1001
00:38:49,412 --> 00:38:52,212
Speaker 3: I thought that was so funny as a kid. What

1002
00:38:52,232 --> 00:38:54,772
Speaker 3: a funny, I don't know, but Leslie Nielsen, uh, rest

1003
00:38:54,812 --> 00:38:55,072
Speaker 3: in peace.

1004
00:38:55,412 --> 00:38:58,462
Speaker 1: Was that, Was that the same movie where the steamroller's

1005
00:38:58,502 --> 00:38:59,412
Speaker 1: coming forever?

1006
00:38:59,832 --> 00:39:01,452
Speaker 3: No, that's Austin Powers.

1007
00:39:01,592 --> 00:39:02,292
Speaker 2: That's Austin Powers.

1008
00:39:02,312 --> 00:39:04,632
Speaker 3: Well, what a great— I think Mike Myers has said that

1009
00:39:04,672 --> 00:39:07,792
Speaker 3: is his favorite visual of anything he's ever done. That's

1010
00:39:07,812 --> 00:39:10,762
Speaker 3: his favorite gag, which is— I mean, that's a great career.

1011
00:39:11,442 --> 00:39:13,002
Speaker 3: When you think about all the things Mike Myers has done,

1012
00:39:13,022 --> 00:39:16,042
Speaker 3: and he goes, this is the one where you're just, no!

1013
00:39:16,422 --> 00:39:19,122
Speaker 3: And the guy won't move, and the steamroller slowly rolls over.

1014
00:39:19,162 --> 00:39:21,902
Speaker 1: It reminded me a little bit of the basketball— video

1015
00:39:21,942 --> 00:39:24,161
Speaker 1: we did for the three and three tournament yeah where

1016
00:39:24,182 --> 00:39:26,562
Speaker 1: we had andrew walk over this hill and we had

1017
00:39:26,892 --> 00:39:29,552
Speaker 1: staying alive playing just the music looped over and over

1018
00:39:29,572 --> 00:39:33,772
Speaker 1: again and we had him like we kept panning back

1019
00:39:33,792 --> 00:39:35,712
Speaker 1: to us and panning him he was always really really

1020
00:39:35,732 --> 00:39:36,632
Speaker 1: really far away right.

1021
00:39:37,512 --> 00:39:39,432
Speaker 2: And then we did like five times.

1022
00:39:39,172 --> 00:39:41,292
Speaker 3: That's monty python and then all.

1023
00:39:41,132 --> 00:39:43,962
Speaker 1: Of a sudden he's right and we kind of he's

1024
00:39:44,002 --> 00:39:45,222
Speaker 1: right there yeah.

1025
00:39:45,102 --> 00:39:47,082
Speaker 3: We revolutionized church videos for.

1026
00:39:48,312 --> 00:39:50,312
Speaker 2: There's a lot. There is a lot. And I got

1027
00:39:50,352 --> 00:39:52,512
Speaker 2: to get with Jeffrey. I know he listens.

1028
00:39:53,292 --> 00:39:55,272
Speaker 1: So he helped me today with some things on hard drive.

1029
00:39:55,292 --> 00:39:56,712
Speaker 1: And Jeffrey, I do owe you money. I said I

1030
00:39:56,732 --> 00:39:59,892
Speaker 1: would pay you. But he's going to help me do

1031
00:39:59,912 --> 00:40:03,052
Speaker 1: the best job of pulling stills out of videos. Oh,

1032
00:40:03,072 --> 00:40:04,312
Speaker 1: because I will tell you one that's going to go

1033
00:40:04,332 --> 00:40:08,102
Speaker 1: on the wall. It's going to be music. on the

1034
00:40:08,142 --> 00:40:11,012
Speaker 1: scooter and you chasing the Big Mac. I've got to

1035
00:40:11,032 --> 00:40:11,552
Speaker 1: have that picture.

1036
00:40:11,632 --> 00:40:12,272
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah.

1037
00:40:12,292 --> 00:40:13,012
Speaker 2: That's got to be there.

1038
00:40:13,192 --> 00:40:15,532
Speaker 3: All right. I remember that one. We have so many

1039
00:40:15,572 --> 00:40:19,132
Speaker 3: stupid videos. Such fun. Such fun. Well, don't we have

1040
00:40:19,212 --> 00:40:20,162
Speaker 3: fun here on the show?

1041
00:40:20,282 --> 00:40:21,262
Speaker 2: We sure do, Johnny.

1042
00:40:21,282 --> 00:40:22,362
Speaker 3: You know what?

1043
00:40:22,382 --> 00:40:23,882
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for joining us in the fun.

1044
00:40:23,902 --> 00:40:27,642
Speaker 1: You should check out all the other episodes at TalkAboutThatPodcast.com

1045
00:40:27,662 --> 00:40:30,792
Speaker 1: where you can find out about the journey that led

1046
00:40:30,852 --> 00:40:31,872
Speaker 1: us to where we are today.

1047
00:40:32,152 --> 00:40:35,072
Speaker 2: We usually suggest starting in the present and then working backwards.

1048
00:40:35,132 --> 00:40:36,062
Speaker 2: I think that's the best way to go.

1049
00:40:37,382 --> 00:40:38,122
Speaker 3: But not in life.

1050
00:40:38,282 --> 00:40:38,902
Speaker 2: No, no.

1051
00:40:39,022 --> 00:40:41,782
Speaker 3: Stay in the present. Work towards a better future.

1052
00:40:41,882 --> 00:40:43,382
Speaker 2: Right. Try to avoid the past.

1053
00:40:43,582 --> 00:40:47,442
Speaker 3: Make your own podcast. Wait, that's not. Everybody's already doing

1054
00:40:47,462 --> 00:40:47,922
Speaker 3: that probably.

1055
00:40:47,942 --> 00:40:48,242
Speaker 1: They are.

1056
00:40:49,002 --> 00:40:51,742
Speaker 3: I wonder how many podcasts we've inspired. Have you ever

1057
00:40:51,762 --> 00:40:52,222
Speaker 3: thought about that?

1058
00:40:52,562 --> 00:40:53,982
Speaker 2: I know of at least one. Really?

1059
00:40:54,162 --> 00:40:54,362
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1060
00:40:54,742 --> 00:40:55,922
Speaker 2: You know what someone said to me the other day?

1061
00:40:55,942 --> 00:40:58,122
Speaker 2: It was so funny. Because people listen and go, I

1062
00:40:58,142 --> 00:41:00,602
Speaker 2: could do this crap. They're horrible.

1063
00:41:00,622 --> 00:41:01,062
Speaker 3: It's easy.

1064
00:41:02,182 --> 00:41:04,882
Speaker 1: One of our mutual friends, he said he feels like

1065
00:41:05,442 --> 00:41:06,462
Speaker 1: This is how we all catch up.

1066
00:41:06,482 --> 00:41:07,982
Speaker 2: We don't get to see each other that much. Right.

1067
00:41:08,342 --> 00:41:10,802
Speaker 1: And he was like, but the problem is, is I'm

1068
00:41:10,842 --> 00:41:13,082
Speaker 1: talking to y'all, but you don't know what I'm saying.

1069
00:41:13,122 --> 00:41:14,582
Speaker 1: He's like, you know, what I should do is I

1070
00:41:14,872 --> 00:41:16,962
Speaker 1: should start a podcast. That's just rebuttal of yours.

1071
00:41:17,112 --> 00:41:17,672
Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be great.

1072
00:41:17,732 --> 00:41:19,732
Speaker 2: And so then he listens to ours. We listen to his.

1073
00:41:19,752 --> 00:41:20,532
Speaker 2: And that's how we like.

1074
00:41:20,392 --> 00:41:22,511
Speaker 3: State of the union, like where they always have. Now

1075
00:41:22,552 --> 00:41:24,052
Speaker 3: the democratic response or whatever.

1076
00:41:24,092 --> 00:41:28,252
Speaker 2: Right. Everything he said was a lie. Now back to you.

1077
00:41:28,312 --> 00:41:30,872
Speaker 2: Now back to you, Bob. So just the one note. Okay.

1078
00:41:30,892 --> 00:41:31,552
Speaker 3: Just the one note.

Speaker 2: That always means a lot to us.

1093
00:41:55,722 --> 00:41:58,042
Speaker 3: Yes, it does. And people always are like, somebody said

1094
00:41:58,062 --> 00:41:59,862
Speaker 3: that they listen and their kids are in the car.

1095
00:41:59,882 --> 00:42:01,592
Speaker 3: This is the last weekend I just did. And they said, oh,

1096
00:42:01,602 --> 00:42:04,202
Speaker 3: this one. And so when I told him, this is

1097
00:42:04,242 --> 00:42:05,962
Speaker 3: the guys, we listen to their podcast, and they're like,

1098
00:42:06,002 --> 00:42:07,661
Speaker 3: which one is it? And he goes, it's the real

1099
00:42:07,682 --> 00:42:10,302
Speaker 3: tall one. That's what they described me. I was like, okay,

1100
00:42:10,342 --> 00:42:11,622
Speaker 3: that could have gone a lot of ways.

1101
00:42:12,342 --> 00:42:14,692
Speaker 2: I did the ugly joke at the restaurant again today. Yeah,

1102
00:42:14,712 --> 00:42:16,312
Speaker 2: and the guy told me that, too, when I got there.

1103
00:42:16,372 --> 00:42:19,292
Speaker 2: He goes, he said, your buddy is here.
