Speaker 4: That's the house, that's the you've work. You know, I
Speaker 4: work with my hands, and that was all all me.
Speaker 4: So I was ready to do that.
Speaker 1: Would you use like a lathe or a router?
Speaker 4: You know? I just you know, for me, it was
Speaker 4: just a wood burning tool. Very precisely.
Speaker 6: Now, I will let you know I've put you into
Speaker 6: a hellish landscape here because my street has become a
Speaker 6: ways cross through and anytime between three to five every
Speaker 6: single day, it's just a non stop.
Speaker 4: Fight for your life to get through here.
Speaker 3: So I shug up and around.
Speaker 4: Maybe you should now can I add a Can I
Speaker 4: add a stop?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 6: I want to stop the post office as well, because
Speaker 6: I have to pick up a package. I mean, is
Speaker 6: that it's on the way.
Speaker 2: Will you open the package on the shing Yeah?
Speaker 4: Nothing, you know, I'm ready to reveal everything here.
Speaker 6: This is the yeah. Yeah, well, no, guests, I would
Speaker 6: have to be giving you the thing. I will not
Speaker 6: give you what was in the past, okay, but I
Speaker 6: will you know. So this is the post office across
Speaker 6: the street from the the lows.
Speaker 4: Feel is three? That one that you know? Yeah, if
Speaker 4: you know?
Speaker 3: Right downtown?
Speaker 4: Yeah, right right over there.
Speaker 1: Okay, right right right nowhere near downtown.
Speaker 4: We're not going down.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, I love going down to Well, okay, I
Speaker 2: guess we'll keep keep close.
Speaker 3: Paul. How are you? What's going on?
Speaker 4: Good? I am? I'm excited? You are? You know?
Speaker 6: For those who don't know, I don't know if anyone
Speaker 6: does know. But you are taking me to a parent
Speaker 6: teacher conference.
Speaker 3: That's correct.
Speaker 6: So I am the parent in this scenario, and uh
Speaker 6: so I'm going to find out. I don't even know
Speaker 6: which I think this is from my Yeah, my youngest son,
Speaker 6: so this is his second grade first parent, Are.
Speaker 3: You worried at all? Is a problem?
Speaker 6: He talks a lot and he has a lot of
Speaker 6: like he seems to goof around a lot, and that
Speaker 6: seems to be the reports that we've been getting fromhim.
Speaker 6: But scholastically, he's doing pretty good, good, very much into
Speaker 6: Star Wars, but yet not really into math. So I
Speaker 6: got him a Star Wars math textbook that he seems
Speaker 6: to be enjoying.
Speaker 4: The heck oudam. So maybe we're gonna fix it out,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, my my parents tried so hard with all
Speaker 1: these these math workbooks that have some fun theme.
Speaker 4: You can actually even go to the next block and
Speaker 4: then make a leftown okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Are you yeah? Are is there going to be a
Speaker 1: one on one with teachers? Like do you have to sit?
Speaker 4: And yeah?
Speaker 6: So you basically you go in. I've done this now.
Speaker 6: The first time was exciting. Now it's just sort of
Speaker 6: like you gotta get to a sign up genius app.
Speaker 6: You gotta find a time. So, uh, my wife and
Speaker 6: I'm a lovely wife, June Diana Rayphael, she will as.
Speaker 4: You and I will go into a classroom.
Speaker 6: And in this school that my kids go to, they
Speaker 6: really take some time and they really will.
Speaker 4: Like you have like a half an hour just chat.
Speaker 6: So it's a nice it's a nice it's a nice
Speaker 6: way to kind of I don't know, visit visit talk
Speaker 6: to you. You know, we've already seen our first like
Speaker 6: we have. I mean, all these kids they don't have grades,
Speaker 6: they don't report cards, as they don't have anything.
Speaker 4: But but this is like we've seen.
Speaker 6: The preliminary first report card. It gets to get too
Speaker 6: so we got the first one.
Speaker 4: We're feeling good. Well would you drop?
Speaker 1: That was like gallbladder? Unfortunately, now it's okay, sorry to interrupt.
Speaker 6: Now you are doing something in a driving scenario that
Speaker 6: is activating every OCD sense, which is you're leaving the
Speaker 6: destination on that you've already been to.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 4: That gets me in a way where I'm like.
Speaker 6: Oh, please leave it on because it's challenging to me
Speaker 6: and it makes me o y better. But I'm always
Speaker 6: like that because I feel like the cars I got no, no, no,
Speaker 6: go back and say no, no, we've already been there.
Speaker 4: Car.
Speaker 2: You know what it is. I want to send a
Speaker 2: message to you that at any time I'll drop you off.
Speaker 4: I see.
Speaker 3: I love that anytime you're under full threat, So.
Speaker 6: You're the benefit of this ride. I don't know if
Speaker 6: you do this all the time. It's a one way trip.
Speaker 6: That's why the two stops is kind of a nice one.
Speaker 6: That's right, you'll drop me, then I will meet up
Speaker 6: with my wife. My wife was like, you want to
Speaker 6: leave at the same time, and I said no, I said,
Speaker 6: I can't really get into why I can't. I said,
Speaker 6: but I will at one point explain it to you.
Speaker 4: I will be there. I will be there for the conference.
Speaker 3: That's not a secretly podcast.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's a secret. Your wife doesn't know that you're
Speaker 1: recording right now.
Speaker 6: No, my wife is already disturbed because I've already come
Speaker 6: back from one podcast today that asked a lot of me,
Speaker 6: which was to do the entire thing in a casket,
Speaker 6: lying down in a casket.
Speaker 3: How do you feel about it?
Speaker 4: Lovely, very relaxing.
Speaker 6: Oh, but the the issue with it is it isn't
Speaker 6: built for you would think, oh, coffin has a nice
Speaker 6: comfy bottom like a bed. No, it's really like a rack.
Speaker 6: It's like what you would maybe hold a missile in
Speaker 6: or something like that. It feels like a wired a
Speaker 6: steel rack.
Speaker 3: Oh well, it's not about comfort.
Speaker 6: Right, I guess that's that's what I've learned. So if
Speaker 6: you're pulling right here, this is the like the secret side, yes.
Speaker 4: Yes, the first one, the first one, yeah right, yeah.
Speaker 2: This is it, and for such good directions and wow,
Speaker 2: there you go.
Speaker 4: Everything is past.
Speaker 1: It was amazing what Paul thinks of the sticker I
Speaker 1: got for her.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, okay, it's so funny that it says before
Speaker 6: we bought it, before we knew how awful he is,
Speaker 6: I were in a test.
Speaker 4: Obviously.
Speaker 6: I also drive a Tesla. I've seen this bumper sticker
Speaker 6: and I've thought to myself, maybe I should get it.
Speaker 6: And then I thought to myself, well, because I'm leasing,
Speaker 6: If I can't get that off in some way, right, well,
Speaker 6: then they take more. Will I be charged femalized more
Speaker 6: at the Tesla dealership?
Speaker 3: Probably?
Speaker 4: And look, I've tried to justify in many ways.
Speaker 1: Well, I can attest as someone that used to work
Speaker 1: at a sign place. These are Vinyl educace of they
Speaker 1: will peel off okay, great, yeah, not take off paint,
Speaker 1: whereas like a regular clear sticker would maybe pull off paint.
Speaker 4: So okay, this is great. I love this. I mean
Speaker 4: and now I mean, I guess the question is this,
Speaker 4: and then I'll go in and do my quick post office.
Speaker 4: But first, yeah, this is what I would say. What's
Speaker 4: the what's the CEO of Chrysler doing? Do you think
Speaker 4: we like guys on the up?
Speaker 6: And the CEO of Mercedes Benz got clean closet, like
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm just saying, like
Speaker 6: you know right now, Yes, obviously he's up in the mix.
Speaker 4: I'm almost more worried about these other ones we don't
Speaker 4: hear anything about.
Speaker 3: That's very true.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I want to see some logs of some billionaires flights.
Speaker 6: I want to see where they've been going.
Speaker 1: I don't even want to bring up all the skeletons
Speaker 1: and leiyah Cooca's closet.
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna quickly run and run out, and then.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get go through your stuff.
Speaker 4: I cannot wait for you to go through myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll be right back. All right, we're back with
Speaker 1: the package. It's very exciting.
Speaker 6: Well, let me first tell you, you know, not to
Speaker 6: get into my post office routines here. But uh man,
Speaker 6: oh man, you would imagine that there was a long
Speaker 6: line there, you'd be mistaken. There was no one online.
Speaker 6: I was the only person in there and I had
Speaker 6: to pick up a package, and they said wait here
Speaker 6: for Freddy. So then, you know, I try to be
Speaker 6: patient and I wait for Freddy. And then some people
Speaker 6: come in, some people go out.
Speaker 4: And this woman goes, Freddie's still getting.
Speaker 6: Your package because I've never I've never seen Freddy. And
Speaker 6: she's like, by, let me go get Freddy. She goes away.
Speaker 6: No one comes by. Wait again, and then she's like,
Speaker 6: Freddy's not out here. I said, no, still Freddy, and
Speaker 6: she's like, all right, I'll do it, and and then
Speaker 6: went back, got the package, gave it to me, and
Speaker 6: I walked out. But I waited the entire time for
Speaker 6: Freddy to appear to something that seemed to be within
Speaker 6: arm's reach of the person who was telling me to
Speaker 6: wait for Freddy.
Speaker 3: Seems like she's sucking with you.
Speaker 1: And not only that, everyone in this car now is
Speaker 1: worried about Freddy.
Speaker 4: Where is Freddy?
Speaker 6: If that hell happened, They're they're closing in, you know,
Speaker 6: less than an hour. I feel like Freddie is not
Speaker 6: going to be on break that close to closing time.
Speaker 1: He just hunched over short of breath in the corner somewhere.
Speaker 2: He's choking on a cheese stick that he would that
Speaker 2: went down the wrong way and he got embarrassed and
Speaker 2: left the area.
Speaker 6: No, no, I will tell you, sitting there and enjoying
Speaker 6: the sounds in the sights of the post office, I
Speaker 6: don't often get in there. I will say that every
Speaker 6: attendant there were two, they were they were doubled. They
Speaker 6: were doubled up on each register because they each one
Speaker 6: of them had called over another to be actually, I
Speaker 6: need your help here, and so there was so there
Speaker 6: were six attendants dealing with three people, so you had
Speaker 6: two to one ratio. They're not bad. And then they
Speaker 6: were dealing with a young Australian man who was speaking
Speaker 6: about the virtues of Malta, which I never really knew
Speaker 6: that much about. And I said it was great, and
Speaker 6: it's full of Koreans, is what that was his real
Speaker 6: selling point. He was like a lot of Koreans are there.
Speaker 6: But he wasn't saying it like, oh, a lot of
Speaker 6: Koreans are there.
Speaker 4: He was like, that's great. A lot of Koreans are there.
Speaker 3: You can get it all done at once in Malta.
Speaker 4: So so I come with news of the post office.
Speaker 3: I love it. It's like you really painted a picture.
Speaker 2: My friend Holly had to do a report on Malta
Speaker 2: in sixth grade because our sixth grade teacher wrote the
Speaker 2: names of all the countries on the board, and then
Speaker 2: one by one all the kids went up. Our names
Speaker 2: were done out of a bowl. Then we went on
Speaker 2: and picked our countries. So Pat Lavin, whoever got picked
Speaker 2: first one, He picked Italy, next person picks.
Speaker 4: Friends, right on right, we're getting the best one.
Speaker 2: It's down to me and my best friend holleag I
Speaker 2: get Iceland and she gets Malta. And we literally it
Speaker 2: was nineteen eighty two. We could not scrape up information.
Speaker 4: You got to get an encyclopedia. And it's not going
Speaker 4: to be that big of a passage.
Speaker 2: It's going to be the tiniest panograph you've ever seen.
Speaker 2: We went to the travel agency to get some.
Speaker 4: Good parenting these guys to get you this.
Speaker 6: Well, here's the thing. I did something similar to that
Speaker 6: at a bachelor party. I don't know if you've heard.
Speaker 4: About this, so I you know, and this is a
Speaker 4: bachelor party I went to after I've had kids. So
Speaker 4: in recent memory, in recent.
Speaker 6: Times, pre COVID, the game was this, it's a bag
Speaker 6: of really terrible T shirts, or I would say T
Speaker 6: shirts that are awful and T shirts that are less
Speaker 6: awful but still not great.
Speaker 4: And it's a short straws thing.
Speaker 6: So the first person you get to pick any of
Speaker 6: the T shirts you're gonna have, you're gonna have a
Speaker 6: good zone with what you're picking. And then it gonna
Speaker 6: and then go down and down and out and down.
Speaker 6: And we were going to ah, I won't name the celebrity.
Speaker 4: Because it may be damning.
Speaker 6: We we are we are going to a live wrestling
Speaker 6: show that would be televised, and we had very good seats.
Speaker 6: We're gonna be in the front row. And so it
Speaker 6: wasn't even like we have to wear these shirts, like
Speaker 6: we have to wear these shirts in public and then
Speaker 6: beyond public in a place where people would.
Speaker 1: See them, and they were embarrassing shirts like well, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you the one.
Speaker 6: That though, well, if I wish it was as that simplistic,
Speaker 6: mine was and this is because I picked second to last.
Speaker 4: The last one was straight up racist you know, simpler times.
Speaker 4: And uh so it was probably a first trip administration.
Speaker 6: No, but it was like it was a it was
Speaker 6: it was supposed to be a painful pick, right, but
Speaker 6: it was something It was a very like it was
Speaker 6: written in a way that it wasn't saying anything offensive
Speaker 6: but written in offensive way.
Speaker 4: So that's what I remember.
Speaker 1: So many damn Koreans and Malta's that's what it was.
Speaker 4: Too many. So mine was Shaggy from Scooby Doo with
Speaker 4: a very prominent heart on in his pants.
Speaker 6: Okay, because Velma was bending down in front of him.
Speaker 4: That was the shirt.
Speaker 6: There's no T shirt, there's no witticism on the bottom.
Speaker 6: It's just like this is a very Norman Rockwell esque moment.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, And that was the shirt that I had picked. Now,
Speaker 6: I will say that the first person who picked pretty
Speaker 6: major celebrity and got to pick the shirt that was
Speaker 6: simply Netflix and Chill. You know, bad but like but
Speaker 6: also in the grind, like I would kill for a
Speaker 6: Netflix and show.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, could be wearing ironic.
Speaker 6: And when I tell you that he put up such
Speaker 6: a fight about wearing the Netflix and Chill shirt, not
Speaker 6: because he doesn't have a show on Netflix.
Speaker 4: None of that. It was like people know me for
Speaker 4: my fashion and that I am the scene.
Speaker 1: That's so funny.
Speaker 4: I can't be seen And I was like that you can't.
Speaker 4: The person who has the easiest shirt can't be complaining
Speaker 4: about not being seen in the shirt.
Speaker 1: Yeh, did he want to trade with your shirty?
Speaker 4: I mean that was the thing. Like he was like, guys,
Speaker 4: I just can't do it. I just simply can't do it.
Speaker 3: It can't risk it.
Speaker 6: He can't risk it, And and that I thought was funny.
Speaker 6: I've never seen a moment like that kind of play out.
Speaker 6: But I think because he caused such a scene, the
Speaker 6: gentleman who picked after me didn't have to wear his
Speaker 6: racist shirt. It's not an opinion that he shares why
Speaker 6: I didn't have to wear my I didn't have to
Speaker 6: wear my shaggy boat because he was like, well, if
Speaker 6: he can get an out, yeah, we all have it.
Speaker 4: The game is over and that's not a game. That's
Speaker 4: not a.
Speaker 6: Game for people that are going to be on television
Speaker 6: that are slightly recognizable.
Speaker 4: Fun game and theory.
Speaker 1: Sure so.
Speaker 3: Was the wrestling match televised?
Speaker 4: Yes, and we were front row of that.
Speaker 1: Okay, that, and you know, the cameras are going to
Speaker 1: be like.
Speaker 6: Oh, we're around multiple times throughout the wrestling. Now some
Speaker 6: of the people in the in there wore their shirts.
Speaker 6: They're not famous, they don't care, and god bless it
Speaker 6: was good.
Speaker 4: It was. Yeah, it was funny. It was I mean,
Speaker 4: I do appreciate the game. I just said that, like
Speaker 4: my fix to the game was we can take away
Speaker 4: the things that are explicitly awful, like we don't need that,
Speaker 4: like you know, like we don't need more of that
Speaker 4: in the world.
Speaker 2: But you know, but you can still do embarrassing without
Speaker 2: doing racist or.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't want a child to see.
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, they don't need a shirt with with Shaggy
Speaker 6: having a bone.
Speaker 1: You know, you're all wearing shirts with gaffer tape covering
Speaker 1: up the offensive parts.
Speaker 4: Now you're going in an interesting way. I'm curious that
Speaker 4: you're going.
Speaker 3: Well, we have time.
Speaker 1: Karen's amazing and driving with that, like you mentioned it before,
Speaker 1: the anxiety of love. I used to drive, and I
Speaker 1: I'm not a good multitasker. Karen is like she hasn't
Speaker 1: mapped out the route we need to go.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 1: And when I land and you have to be there
Speaker 1: at five thirty. Yeah, you're gonna be there on time.
Speaker 1: Did you remember to wear your shaggy shirt?
Speaker 4: But I mean, I'm definitely gonna wear one of those
Speaker 4: shaggy yeah you know the uh it is it's.
Speaker 6: It is a f that shirt. I couldn't get it
Speaker 6: off my body quick enough either. Because it also is like,
Speaker 6: I don't know how you all feel, but you know,
Speaker 6: we're all comedians.
Speaker 4: We do things that are funny.
Speaker 6: And people will try to say to you, I'm sure, hey,
Speaker 6: I got something funny for you, and yeah, something, and
Speaker 6: then sometimes there are real something and you're like, well
Speaker 6: that's not actually funny, yeah, or maybe that offends the
Speaker 6: sensibility they have, or a million things. I could have
Speaker 6: seen myself wearing that shaggy shirt and getting a lot
Speaker 6: of high fives like yeah, that's a good shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 6: And I don't like it's just as the celebrity, the
Speaker 6: big celebrity didn't want to upset his fashion sensibility. I
Speaker 6: also didn't wanted to reflect on my.
Speaker 4: Comedy sensibility that I was like, even in jest, I
Speaker 4: was like, because you can, I've seen people wear funny shirts.
Speaker 4: I've seen people do you know, hey, we got it.
Speaker 6: But you know, I felt that shaggy shirt could go
Speaker 6: either way, especially at a wrestling match.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a simple fact. I don't want to because
Speaker 1: it's someone else's.
Speaker 4: Joke, right, Yeah, that's a good way to go.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but now you're saying that that's a joke or
Speaker 6: you were seeing that this is maybe a moment of
Speaker 6: sexual awakening, but exactly this is really I don't know,
Speaker 6: get it's open because there's no line there.
Speaker 4: It's just this is just a moment, a moment.
Speaker 2: You try to get someone else to wear the shirt
Speaker 2: and you're like, no, no, you should wear it.
Speaker 3: I'll just sit across from you. I just watched the
Speaker 3: shirt all just as.
Speaker 1: There, confused that it isn't dastint. Yeah, that's that's so funny.
Speaker 1: That's uh yeah, that was a bad idea. No offense
Speaker 1: to your friend.
Speaker 4: No, I mean, look, everyone's trying to do a bachelor
Speaker 4: party game, and look, this is a bachelor party that
Speaker 4: there was no nothing. There wasn't even a.
Speaker 6: Lot of drinking in this bachelor party. You know, we
Speaker 6: went out for pizza, we saw a wrestling match. It
Speaker 6: was very very sixth grade.
Speaker 1: Sleepover, you know, no quailudes and a donkey and no.
Speaker 6: No, it was a pinball museum, it was a wrestling match,
Speaker 6: it was pizza. We were in Chicago, not even a
Speaker 6: bar afterwards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a very except for this, you know,
Speaker 4: the shaggy shirt.
Speaker 1: Yeah that I That's the only kind of bachelor party
Speaker 1: I'm interested in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, bachelor parties. It's interesting because now, you know,
Speaker 6: we get to a certain age, I don't know what
Speaker 6: we what are we celebrating at this point?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've done that, right, we don't need to do this.
Speaker 6: I gave my dad a bachelor party. My dad got remarried,
Speaker 6: probably probably in like two thousand and five. My dad
Speaker 6: was married to my mom from very like. My dad
Speaker 6: and my mom got divorced in the early eighties.
Speaker 1: I saw an interview where they kept that divorce a
Speaker 1: secret from you.
Speaker 4: Is that? Yes, that is true. You know it's tough
Speaker 4: to do, but so you felt better because you were
Speaker 4: a kid. Yeah.
Speaker 6: So my parents got divorced when I was three, but
Speaker 6: then kind of lived this lie that they were together
Speaker 6: until I was five. And you know, there were signs
Speaker 6: like I once like went walked out of my bedroom
Speaker 6: getting whatever, a glass of water, whatever I was doing.
Speaker 4: At three, I had a lot of things on.
Speaker 6: My mind, and I saw my dad in the guest
Speaker 6: room reading a book and I kind of like it
Speaker 6: was almost like I caught and I like kind of
Speaker 6: scooted back in.
Speaker 4: I remember that very clearly. Wow, yeah, you know, like
Speaker 4: what's going on there?
Speaker 6: I didn't know. It just felt odd. And then you know,
Speaker 6: I once, you know, I once went into my mom's
Speaker 6: bed and you know, my dad wasn't there, and my
Speaker 6: Mom's like, oh no, you can't sleep in this bed,
Speaker 6: that the bed is broken.
Speaker 1: It's funny that at at three years old, you knew
Speaker 1: they should be sleeping together, right.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, intimacy, right.
Speaker 6: You know, because as a kid, like you're you're you know,
Speaker 6: like as now as a parent too, I would say, like,
Speaker 6: my kid's crawling to our bed all the time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wasn't there. It would be weird. I mean,
Speaker 4: it's it's weird when my wife will.
Speaker 6: Go to work early in the morning or I go,
Speaker 6: you know, I can only talk about when she's gone
Speaker 6: for work, but when they come in, where's mo?
Speaker 4: Why is she not here?
Speaker 6: Now we know that she's normally here. We know she
Speaker 6: goes out during the day. But why is it she
Speaker 6: not here at five in the morning. That's that's odd,
Speaker 6: and it is true.
Speaker 1: The one thing that a young child knows is their
Speaker 1: parents sleep together. They share a bed. That's the one
Speaker 1: thing you know about A different thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I will say my wife and I also, you know,
Speaker 6: you might not catch us sleeping in the same bed
Speaker 6: because one of our we have two kids, so one
Speaker 6: of our kids might get in there and start pushing
Speaker 6: us around too much, and we give up, We kind
Speaker 6: of tap out, and it's like we'll get we'll move
Speaker 6: to another bed. I see and the kid. I often
Speaker 6: go to the kids bed. I'm like, you kick me
Speaker 6: out in my bed, I'll go to your bed. My
Speaker 6: wife just goes to the guest room, and she's always
Speaker 6: mad at me. She's why didn't you go to the
Speaker 6: guest room, Like, because then if I go to the
Speaker 6: guest room, then I'm sleeping in the guest bed, and
Speaker 6: then I got to make up the guest room bed,
Speaker 6: and then then if a guest comes over, I got
Speaker 6: to make sure I go change the She'd say, like,
Speaker 6: I don't want to. I don't want to upset the
Speaker 6: whole the whole order of the house, pull.
Speaker 3: Up that spider man dove and just be done with
Speaker 3: exactly right.
Speaker 6: Just yeah, my kids barely. It's like there's nothing there.
Speaker 6: I can just put it over me. I'm good, I'm around,
Speaker 6: good to go.
Speaker 1: Sorry I interrupted your you're throwing a bachelor party?
Speaker 4: Oh I was.
Speaker 6: I threw my bachelor party from my dad, you know,
Speaker 6: and I'm like my and my dad's obviously older than me,
Speaker 6: and it's like, well what do we do? What what
Speaker 6: is this? And and it just turned out to be
Speaker 6: a nice steak dinner. Oh yeah, that was a very
Speaker 6: wonderful time with his friends to have a.
Speaker 4: Nice steak dinner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's nice.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I feel like after a certain amount
Speaker 2: of time, probably the novelty wears off of you gone
Speaker 2: to handful of those.
Speaker 3: Maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean I have, you know, I've done a few
Speaker 6: different things, like I I threw a bachelor party from
Speaker 6: my friend where we hired ghost hunters and uh, and
Speaker 6: so we rented an airbnb and o hi, and we
Speaker 6: hired ghost hunters to come and see if this house
Speaker 6: had ghosts. It was Yeah, so it was basically like
Speaker 6: a it was like hiring you know, a dancer or
Speaker 6: something like that. But it was a mom and son
Speaker 6: ghost hunting team who came in and told us their
Speaker 6: story about how they see the ghosts and and what
Speaker 6: they do, and and then decided to walk through the
Speaker 6: house with all their you know devices.
Speaker 1: It started by jumping out of a k.
Speaker 4: They well, that was the funny thing. They were.
Speaker 6: They were grave, they know, they were like, oh, we
Speaker 6: want to kind of we know it's a bachelor party,
Speaker 6: so they were kind of doing like like trying to
Speaker 6: make jokes now or like there we brought the whipped cream.
Speaker 4: And we're like, oh no, no, no, we we just wanted
Speaker 4: the ghost hunting in the regular Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did they they know about what you do for a
Speaker 1: living and everything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they understood it a little bit and
Speaker 6: they definitely was there were some connections.
Speaker 4: And I think when they got there they were even.
Speaker 6: More little because you know, over the phone, we weren't like,
Speaker 6: oh we do this or we do that.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, okay. But then they but then they did
Speaker 4: all these recordings. They gave them to us.
Speaker 6: We were great, and they're like no, no, no, we
Speaker 6: need to listen through these recordings with you.
Speaker 4: And we're like, well, no, that that. I know, we
Speaker 4: we've done it now.
Speaker 6: But I remember sitting in my office with the Mother
Speaker 6: and Sun ghost Hunter and like some burned c D
Speaker 6: DVDs listening.
Speaker 2: To Oh so they could tell you that that was
Speaker 2: voice talking. Yeah, like an additional what hour.
Speaker 4: Just pass forward through this part? Well, you know, and
Speaker 4: I'll get it. I got it.
Speaker 3: I got it.
Speaker 1: Hear that the ghost has sleep appenings.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that they were so trying to do
Speaker 4: a good job for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean while we thought that this is like a funny,
Speaker 6: it was like a it was you know, it was
Speaker 6: just a fun thing to do.
Speaker 4: I hire some ghost hunters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they take it pretty seriously, those ghost hunters.
Speaker 4: I did too. But there was nothing that happened. There
Speaker 4: was no you know, there was no ghosts that they found.
Speaker 1: You know, you did you get a known to be
Speaker 1: haunted Airbnb?
Speaker 6: No, you know that was that, you know, because we
Speaker 6: had to get an airbnb that actually fit everybody first
Speaker 6: of all. So it was just sort of like, let's
Speaker 6: take a shot if kind of the idea was, if
Speaker 6: everything is haunted, maybe we'll catch one of these haunts.
Speaker 4: You know, well, we'll get a little haunts out of this.
Speaker 1: That's I went. I had a show in New Orleans
Speaker 1: and I got a random bed and breakfast and it
Speaker 1: was a known like they did a tour wow while
Speaker 1: I was there, and my room was horrifying. There was
Speaker 1: like a neglige a flood ring above the door, like
Speaker 1: they set it up to be scary. Yes, and I
Speaker 1: door knobs were moving like. I stayed up all night
Speaker 1: and the next day I slept in and I was
Speaker 1: late for my show because I took a nap. I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not Wow.
Speaker 4: I do not recommend New Orleans.
Speaker 6: I will say, uh seems to have the most truly
Speaker 6: well actual hauntings.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 6: I was shooting movie there with Tom Lennon, and Tom
Speaker 6: Lenon had a little son at that point and now
Speaker 6: he's much older Ollie and Ollie would be running around
Speaker 6: their apartment. It was right on that big square in
Speaker 6: the center of town there. I forget what it's called,
Speaker 6: but right. And some would run through and go, you know,
Speaker 6: run through one room, high Daddy, go into the kitchen,
Speaker 6: Hig Mommy, run through the next room. Hi Arthur, Arthur,
Speaker 6: Hi Mommy, Hi Daddy, Hi Arthur.
Speaker 4: You know what is this? Wow? And then at one point.
Speaker 6: They were also standing on the street and he's like
Speaker 6: what and he and he was talking to somebody in
Speaker 6: a sewer.
Speaker 4: Great was not there and this kid never.
Speaker 6: Experienced anything like this, and uh and uh yeah. And
Speaker 6: then they did ask, they did ask the the owner
Speaker 6: of the place, is it haunted? And they said, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: there's a guy named Arthur who lives here. Oh no, yeah,
Speaker 6: so there you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a clown. Yeah, he enjoys children, he.
Speaker 3: Loves the sewer.
Speaker 1: That is amazing.
Speaker 4: Yeah. So there there's some like, there's some stuff that
Speaker 4: is horrifying.
Speaker 6: New Orleans has some. I spent many times. I spent
Speaker 6: time in the new buildings in New Orleans. There was
Speaker 6: no uh no ghosts in my uh in my uh
Speaker 6: furnished apartment that I was put up.
Speaker 2: And you're in your rental, your sublet. Did you ever
Speaker 2: go to the what's it called DuMond Cafe? Dumont did and.
Speaker 1: Go, oh, yes, they're good.
Speaker 3: They're great coffee.
Speaker 6: Oh, I mean I do, I'll do the whole. I mean,
Speaker 6: you know what I really like is I like to
Speaker 6: get those oysters too. I go, there's like there's you
Speaker 6: can just eat oysters. If I say eat oysters on
Speaker 6: the sidewalk. That seems crazy, but there are like some
Speaker 6: outdoor like raw bars like that.
Speaker 4: And I went out one night.
Speaker 6: With Jerry Butler, right who famous actor Jerry Butler, star
Speaker 6: of movies like Den of Thieves and Geo Storm and
Speaker 6: a bunch of great stuff Gladiator. I guess I should
Speaker 6: have probably lived with Butler.
Speaker 4: Jerry Jerry.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was going to make a joke
Speaker 1: about Gerard Butler, but you just know, miss Jerry, who
Speaker 1: want to know the guy?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, this is the funny thing because I've
Speaker 6: called them Girard and they're not Jerry.
Speaker 4: Everyone. Yeah, so now I've called them Jerry. Funny.
Speaker 6: It was a funny thing because I was I was
Speaker 6: going on New Orleans. I was on a plane. I
Speaker 6: bumped into my friend who was a manager, an agent
Speaker 6: or a manager one of these things, you know, And
Speaker 6: I was like, Oh, what are you doing here? And
Speaker 6: he's like, oh, my client's in a movie. Uh, Daniel,
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna come visit. And he's like, i'll hit
Speaker 6: you up, but come out with us.
Speaker 4: I was like sure.
Speaker 6: I didn't even know who the client was, but I
Speaker 6: was like, I'm friends with him like we've been on
Speaker 6: vacations together, me and this guy.
Speaker 4: So it wasn't they, it was it was normal. It
Speaker 4: was fucking Jerry Butler.
Speaker 6: And uh and Jerry Butler is a great hang And
Speaker 6: when I tell you that he is one of the
Speaker 6: most gracious people, like everyone in this restaurant coming up
Speaker 6: to him, old young male female didn't make a difference.
Speaker 4: And he sat in the middle of a long.
Speaker 6: Table that we were at and was like the King
Speaker 6: and and and that's where we got some oysters on
Speaker 6: the street because they were they were barbecuing oysters out there.
Speaker 6: And you know, when Jerry Butler comes in, I guess
Speaker 6: that place is like, we're gonna give him as many
Speaker 6: oysters and as many oysters.
Speaker 4: I don't even think we were ordering them at a
Speaker 4: certain point. It was just like we just at bringing
Speaker 4: We're bringing oysters to our king that.
Speaker 3: He deserves it.
Speaker 4: He does.
Speaker 2: During COVID, my friend and I would watch movies like
Speaker 2: Long Distance, Oh fun.
Speaker 3: So we just picked the.
Speaker 2: Movie and then watch it we'd started at the same time,
Speaker 2: and then just text each other or whatever.
Speaker 4: I love that.
Speaker 3: It's very fun. Gerard Butler became a theme where like.
Speaker 2: The day a new Gerard Butler movie came out, Jerry Jerry.
Speaker 4: It actually doesn't Jerry work better?
Speaker 3: It does, It's so much easier.
Speaker 6: Like that's why I think it's been so hard. It's like,
Speaker 6: I'm not one of those people like to give the
Speaker 6: nickname ever, but Jerry actually works. It does Jerry Butler.
Speaker 6: I mean, Gerard Butler has starved through. Jerry Butler's a
Speaker 6: star of like thieves. It's like, Jerry is you know,
Speaker 6: a white house down Jerry's Jerry storm Plaine, one of
Speaker 6: the best underrated great.
Speaker 1: Movie actually sounds like a Butler's name. Jerry Jry.
Speaker 6: Jerry feels that the guy that you want to hang
Speaker 6: out with and need some barbecue oysters with.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Also, Scottish people I find to be the most delightful
Speaker 2: and the most hilarious people. And when they speak like
Speaker 2: they speak almost poetically. Oh yeah, all the fucking metaphors
Speaker 2: and similes and stuff, all the ways they describe stuff,
Speaker 2: it's like you're just they're reading you a poo.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 6: It's the best cursing of all time too. I mean,
Speaker 6: and that's and and I think Brits have that too,
Speaker 6: But the Scott's got it.
Speaker 4: Scott's got it. We we did a show in London.
Speaker 4: How did this get made? Where we do a lot
Speaker 4: of Jerry Butler movies on our show What's a Lot
Speaker 4: of Love?
Speaker 6: But uh, we were there and we were like, oh,
Speaker 6: you know the home of Jerry Butler.
Speaker 4: We did a Jerry Butler movie. And when I said
Speaker 4: to the audience, I said, I just did a show
Speaker 4: in the UK, one guy in the crowd goes, fuck
Speaker 4: London and then everyone was like, fuck London.
Speaker 6: The entire entire like thousand person audience started chanting Fuck London.
Speaker 6: I was like, this is a fun place to be
Speaker 6: like just that, like they all were on board with
Speaker 6: it and they were ready to go. Yea, I say,
Speaker 6: ui related some I think it was just like Scotland
Speaker 6: is like nope, yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Know, don't even bring it up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't know.
Speaker 6: And I feel like there was an energy there that
Speaker 6: London may have had that towards Scotland too, but they
Speaker 6: were a little bit more played about it.
Speaker 3: Well they're so low key, yes exactly, Yeah, yeah, so good.
Speaker 1: So do you think tonight if they have issue with
Speaker 1: your son speaking out in class, acting out and you
Speaker 1: know it's being he's being funny.
Speaker 6: Probably, Well, that's the thing. My son is funny, and
Speaker 6: he's the he is. Many people love his teachers really
Speaker 6: love him. It's like you can tell he's goofing off
Speaker 6: right and and like why I read his work and
Speaker 6: I read his writing and they're all like joke heavy
Speaker 6: things that he's pump pumping out, that he's doing his work.
Speaker 6: But he is also like painting some pretty vivid pictures
Speaker 6: and things, you know, So I don't think he'll be
Speaker 6: in that much trouble.
Speaker 1: I think you'll get him off the hook just by
Speaker 1: he's like, oh, I don't know where that kind of
Speaker 1: behavior could possibly lead, and then pull out your wallet
Speaker 1: and stand out.
Speaker 6: This is, you know, the fun thing about both my
Speaker 6: kids are funny. Both my kids are sweet and kind,
Speaker 6: but my my youngest has like this funny, quirky sense
Speaker 6: of humor and not like a weird sense of humoral,
Speaker 6: Like this is straight up like a funny sense of humor.
Speaker 6: So we when we do have this get made. I
Speaker 6: don't really try to indoctrinate my kids into show biz.
Speaker 6: It's not like not a path that I would want
Speaker 6: to offer up. I don't want to that's not really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or you want them to avoid it cause major
Speaker 1: really yeah, you know right?
Speaker 6: You know, although I will say that most kids in
Speaker 6: their class and in the school they go to, there's
Speaker 6: not many people who work in our industry in the school,
Speaker 6: But every kid wants to be a YouTuber.
Speaker 4: Every kid wants to be on Twitch.
Speaker 6: So there is like a he wants that celebrity, but
Speaker 6: not the same way or understanding how it even even
Speaker 6: similar to what I do. Like it's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 6: I'd like to be a YouTuber. How many people want.
Speaker 4: To be YouTubers? You know, they want to be dude perfect.
Speaker 1: You know, and they all look up to Jake and
Speaker 1: Logan Paul.
Speaker 6: Oh well, I tell you my kids three favorite people
Speaker 6: are Elon Musk. Is it Jake Paul or Logan Paul?
Speaker 6: Whoever has Prime? And then uh and then Elon Musk.
Speaker 6: Those are my kids three favorite I mean, the reason,
Speaker 6: one of the main reasons I have with Tesla is
Speaker 6: because my kids are.
Speaker 4: Like, you got it, you got it, got it, And.
Speaker 6: I was like, you know, I've been on the fence
Speaker 6: about and I did drive and I was like, it
Speaker 6: is my favorite one and it was way cheaper than
Speaker 6: I was going to re up the least of my minivan.
Speaker 6: And what I realized is I'm a huge minivan fan.
Speaker 6: I love a minivan, but as my kids got older,
Speaker 6: I didn't really need the minivan as much anymore.
Speaker 4: You know. Yeah, that can kind of be a lot
Speaker 4: more functional. And the and the Preus it's not the
Speaker 4: pre Sorry. The Tesla that I have is big, it
Speaker 4: can it can do. There's an extra row. We're in
Speaker 4: a four seater. I have a six seater.
Speaker 3: Wait is it the one with the with the batlan?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Oh cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to say suicide Lamborghini doors. We'll just
Speaker 1: call them.
Speaker 4: I mean I like to call them DeLorean. Yes, yes, yes?
Speaker 2: And do you love how fast it goes? Because that's it.
Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
Speaker 6: It's a wild thing that I would love to experience
Speaker 6: a little bit more. But in LA I have to
Speaker 6: just kind of do it in very random moments. But
Speaker 6: it's amazing how quickly and get to that thing.
Speaker 4: You know? Yes, do you do the self drive?
Speaker 3: Never?
Speaker 4: I do it a lot. Do you really love it?
Speaker 4: I love it?
Speaker 3: Didn't they recall something?
Speaker 4: Though? You know, I think a lot of that is propaganda.
Speaker 4: I only.
Speaker 6: Like I you know, It requires you to be attentive,
Speaker 6: you know. I think when people were first doing it,
Speaker 6: they were getting the back seat and they were doing dumb.
Speaker 4: Shit like this requires you. You have to have your
Speaker 4: hands on the wheel.
Speaker 6: You got to be looking forward because there's a little
Speaker 6: camera in your somewhere right up above your rear view mirror,
Speaker 6: so they know if your eyes are off the road,
Speaker 6: and if your eyes are off the road, it gives
Speaker 6: you a warning, gives you two warnings, then they give
Speaker 6: you a strike. If you get a strike, you can
Speaker 6: only get three strikes, and then if you have three strikes,
Speaker 6: you can't use it again, really use again.
Speaker 4: For like like like you've abused the system.
Speaker 1: Has it ever tugged the wheel in a direction and
Speaker 1: you didn't agree right away?
Speaker 6: It sometimes gets a little happy about moving lanes, like merging.
Speaker 6: I'm like, they don't need to merge this much, you know,
Speaker 6: but I will tell you the watching it merge.
Speaker 4: You know, I've only know how I merge and.
Speaker 6: I drive, So it is like being in the driver's seating, like, wow,
Speaker 6: that's a smoother move than I would have made that,
Speaker 6: Like you know, like there's a you know, and they're
Speaker 6: seeing all the cars and they're seeing the people.
Speaker 4: There's just moments where I'm nervous about it, like, oh no,
Speaker 4: we're gonna hit this. We're not.
Speaker 6: But because you have no like, because you're not in
Speaker 6: control at all, there is like I think there are
Speaker 6: moments of like, am I too close to that? I'm
Speaker 6: I too close to You're not.
Speaker 1: You're never too close to Maybe I've seen the movie
Speaker 1: Christine too much. I don't like a car with its
Speaker 1: own feeling.
Speaker 4: No, this is it, this is you know now, I
Speaker 4: will save my car. Did make me vote for Donald
Speaker 4: Trump's all? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why?
Speaker 2: It was weird to fill that thing in like yeah,
Speaker 2: feel yourself compelled.
Speaker 6: Well, it was odd because when I got into the
Speaker 6: car on election day morning, it's like, thank you for voting,
Speaker 6: and I was like, oh wait, I didn't vote. And
Speaker 6: then they popped up my thing and it was it
Speaker 6: was red down ballot, you know, which is.
Speaker 3: Again they said, look, we took care of we took.
Speaker 1: Care of it, we took care of I in all seriousness,
Speaker 1: never got any confirmation that my vote counted.
Speaker 4: Makes me. I just checked the other day. Mine has
Speaker 4: not yet been counted. But California is two point three
Speaker 4: billin votes behind yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and usually they say thirty days before concerns.
Speaker 1: That's what I don't understand. I thought this this thing
Speaker 1: would be not to get all, hey, we're in it though.
Speaker 1: I thought it would take at least a week, and
Speaker 1: then it was the next morning, Well but here's the thing,
Speaker 1: and not that this might be old.
Speaker 2: Can I just put this to the car really quick?
Speaker 2: Am I making mistake? Not getting off this?
Speaker 6: Fucking this is always this is always really backed up
Speaker 6: like this, and then it cleans up.
Speaker 3: Okay, I just don't want to be down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so and then you're kind of stuck. Now you're
Speaker 4: on this way. You're gonna go this way. This is it,
Speaker 4: so you know the next morning unfortunately, I think what
Speaker 4: is what happened was we figured it out. It's a landside.
Speaker 4: Get ready. America's changed.
Speaker 6: But now as even just a week has passed, new
Speaker 6: numbers have come out and it's basically forty nine forty
Speaker 6: eight as far as percentage points, oh really yeah, and
Speaker 6: it's down to like one point, like two or three percent.
Speaker 6: It's going to be in that range of a difference.
Speaker 6: It's it's very small. And then all of these other
Speaker 6: like all the swing states besides, Pennsylvania were all below
Speaker 6: four points, like like Wisconsin was one point, all like
Speaker 6: every swing state came within exactly what every polling expert
Speaker 6: said within a point.
Speaker 4: It was No.
Speaker 6: You know, now, electorally, that doesn't make a difference, because
Speaker 6: if you lose by one point or you lose by
Speaker 6: ten points, it's the same thing.
Speaker 4: But vote wise, it is raised, it's raisor thin. It's
Speaker 4: about like a million votes.
Speaker 1: That makes me feel a little better because the whole
Speaker 1: landslide thing was bumming me out and making me two
Speaker 1: not want to go on the road.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean, he's gonna say whatever, And then I
Speaker 6: think what, I think we're really what we've because I
Speaker 6: went and look, I will tell you this.
Speaker 4: I did this last night because I had this all
Speaker 4: my head. I was like, well, has has this changed?
Speaker 4: You know?
Speaker 6: Has it like? Has this changed that much? And I
Speaker 6: I googled it up and I'll tell you this much.
Speaker 6: So in twenty sixteen it was that was forty six,
Speaker 6: forty eight. Then in uh then when it was Biden
Speaker 6: and Trump, which was a higher, more turnout because of
Speaker 6: the COVID fifty one forty six.
Speaker 4: So now we're talking forty nine forty eight, So it is.
Speaker 6: The closest election in the last three election cycles that
Speaker 6: is probably more split down the middle than any other election.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's like, which I think is.
Speaker 6: A not a good thing, but it just it goes
Speaker 6: to show you that there we're still in the same
Speaker 6: exact country that we were nothing there might have been
Speaker 6: a thing here, a thing there, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, primarily except this time, eighteen million Democrats decided just
Speaker 1: not to Well that's yeah, that was kind of the.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, I was in Nebraska, and I
Speaker 4: was in Wisconsin. I was campaigning for an independent candidate Nebraska,
Speaker 4: oh wow. And I was also just hanging out in
Speaker 4: Wisconsin working with the Wisconsin Democrats. But the one thing
Speaker 4: that they told me, because I was like, well, how
Speaker 4: are you feeling, you know, and they were.
Speaker 6: All pretty they were feeling pretty good. A Nebraska wasn't
Speaker 6: feeling Nebraska isn't Nebraska's a deep bread. They're like, we're
Speaker 6: gonna hope to make a dent here with this guy.
Speaker 6: And he was making a huge dent and he lost
Speaker 6: by a slilver. But but what they said was the
Speaker 6: one thing you can't account for is that Trump brings
Speaker 6: people out like people who don't vote, and look, they're
Speaker 6: gonna people who always stay home too.
Speaker 4: But like Trump, Like it's like the fear of Trump
Speaker 4: doesn't bring people out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Trump brings people out, and and you can't equate
Speaker 6: for what that is would be. But they said, the
Speaker 6: reason why there was.
Speaker 4: A no red wave in the midterms because there's no
Speaker 4: Trump on the ticket.
Speaker 1: Right, A lot of a lot of people outdoors still
Speaker 1: wearing flannel pajama bottoms.
Speaker 4: Yeah, which, by the way, we got to reclaim those,
Speaker 4: because I know it's a good look. I like plaid.
Speaker 2: But what do you think, Paul, of the kind of
Speaker 2: growing conspiracy thing of like that the Starlink satellite system
Speaker 2: being connected.
Speaker 3: You don't buy it.
Speaker 4: Don't buy it. I'm not into it.
Speaker 6: I don't buy it. I don't want to be what
Speaker 6: I was making fun of. No, I want, yes, but
Speaker 6: I love to believe that, but I don't because the
Speaker 6: thing is I think that the thing that's the thing
Speaker 6: that undercuts all that is there's enough down there's enough
Speaker 6: split tickets. If you look at all the Democratic people
Speaker 6: who run on the smaller races, but their top of
Speaker 6: the ticket was Trump and the bottom was Democrats, and
Speaker 6: there was a lot, especially in the swing states.
Speaker 4: That happened like that too.
Speaker 6: I don't think they would just be manipulating one like,
Speaker 6: it wouldn't be like they wouldn't just be uh. I
Speaker 6: think it just shows that's humans, Like humans are making
Speaker 6: those choices.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but that means.
Speaker 2: They're like voting for a Democratic senator and then him
Speaker 2: as a president.
Speaker 4: That really it doesn't make sense to me. I'll tell
Speaker 4: you why it makes sense. I'll tell you, like again,
Speaker 4: not that I'm I'm not a trumper.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, but should we tell this guy he
Speaker 1: leashed a coyote, sorry that it's not a dog.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is true, scary, But why I think it
Speaker 4: makes sense.
Speaker 6: It is like I would talk to people, and when
Speaker 6: you get out of your own space sometimes you learn
Speaker 6: some things.
Speaker 4: And then so many people said to me, he wrote
Speaker 4: us those checks.
Speaker 6: He wrote us those checks, and that made a big
Speaker 6: difference that Donald Trump on a check. A lot of
Speaker 6: people thought that Donald Trump just, I guess, took out
Speaker 6: his checkbook and wrote some checks to people insane, and
Speaker 6: that was a big and and so I think that
Speaker 6: when you think about that, like people may be like, well,
Speaker 6: you know what he actually did help me, and I
Speaker 6: actually like this.
Speaker 4: There's a lot more camaraderie.
Speaker 6: And like a a like a senate candidate or somebody
Speaker 6: that you have, like a governor or somebody that like
Speaker 6: that you have like some sort of more like we're
Speaker 6: Michigan and that's what it is and this is what
Speaker 6: we do, yeah, versus him, which I think people just
Speaker 6: liked and I don't think and I don't think new
Speaker 6: a lot of policies. That's the other thing I found
Speaker 6: out too. A lot of people don't know. I would
Speaker 6: argue that most people knew one policy, which was like
Speaker 6: I think I had more money.
Speaker 4: That was it, right, thank god?
Speaker 1: And a lot of people, I mean it's been proven before.
Speaker 1: People like bad comedy.
Speaker 4: Well you know that's honestly.
Speaker 6: That's what I thought was going to be the death
Speaker 6: of him, because it was like a bad musician going
Speaker 6: back on the ruds, like you don't you knew stuff
Speaker 6: isn't good? Yeah, the old stuff is feeling old, like
Speaker 6: you it's like you're giving me a you know's we've
Speaker 6: seen it, like we need something.
Speaker 2: Or he was on those podcasts with those guys that
Speaker 2: were just laughing at him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then it's like but that just helped him. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that just like kind of galvanized.
Speaker 2: The people that watch those podcasts that you know are
Speaker 2: just like that was based or whatever.
Speaker 6: Well, I guess like what I'm also thinking in look,
Speaker 6: I like, I know, I don't want to be at
Speaker 6: all cavalier about this because I understand there's all these
Speaker 6: you know, we got Fox News hosts for taking away
Speaker 6: the Department of Education, but there's also somebody to be like,
Speaker 6: you got total control, Like this is what everyone wants, right,
Speaker 6: Everyone's like, oh, if I had all the control, and
Speaker 6: I think Obama, I think everybody would say this, if
Speaker 6: I had all the control, I would be able to
Speaker 6: get the things that I really want to do out
Speaker 6: and then you would see the difference it would make.
Speaker 6: And I feel like, well, he's gonna have that opportunity,
Speaker 6: and like, will that actually make a difference, Like I
Speaker 6: don't know. I mean, it's it's gonna be awful, But
Speaker 6: I also feel like you can't say anyone blocked you,
Speaker 6: and maybe that helps in two years. I don't know,
Speaker 6: I'm looking for two years. I got a fifteen hundred
Speaker 6: day jail sentence.
Speaker 4: I'm just trying to spin it. Yeah, I'm like I'm
Speaker 4: I'm in.
Speaker 6: I'm just like all right, well i'll give it. I'll
Speaker 6: give it a benefit. I guess I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 6: it seems awful to appoint somebody who says that women
Speaker 6: shouldn't be in combat. I mean, true, that's a rough,
Speaker 6: rough thing to say when you're going to be leading
Speaker 6: all the military that is.
Speaker 2: Or like, well, it made me very happy because apparently, shockingly,
Speaker 2: the chief of police in LA came out and said
Speaker 2: that the LAPD will not help any kind of a
Speaker 2: Trump rounding up of citizens of any kind.
Speaker 3: And I was like, holy shit. It made me feel
Speaker 3: so much.
Speaker 1: A lot of people that I know in my neighborhood
Speaker 1: that I need to tell that because they're all freaking out.
Speaker 3: Yes, everybody's freaking I thought.
Speaker 1: We were getting it. One time while we are podcasting
Speaker 1: with Tig some guy just stopped in front of the
Speaker 1: car and would not move, and luckily a cop finally
Speaker 1: came by and moved removed the man. I thought that
Speaker 1: was going to happen again, similar and yeah, something will
Speaker 1: happen like that before we get into the parenteg.
Speaker 3: God, damn, this is taking now.
Speaker 6: I mean, we'll see if we're gonna be able to
Speaker 6: get to because it's going to be in four minutes.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Jesus, is your kid going to be there?
Speaker 4: To know?
Speaker 6: My wife is there and she's like, where are you?
Speaker 6: This is our fault, throw me under the bus.
Speaker 4: This is uh, this is my I shouldn't have played
Speaker 4: as fast and hard with you.
Speaker 1: You know what, We used to drive comics to the
Speaker 1: airport and I don't know if anyone missed a fly
Speaker 1: it because we didn't follow. But yeah, imagine those being mistakes.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, I'm I'm hoping that we will.
Speaker 6: We will get faster once we get somewhere here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, something, Well, it would it helped if you
Speaker 2: told June Dan Then I just saw her in some
Speaker 2: TV show and she looked gorgeous.
Speaker 3: She was the wife and they were talking.
Speaker 4: I will I will let her know scene where they
Speaker 4: were talking.
Speaker 3: She was talking to somebody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, conversation movies.
Speaker 4: I love it. I mean, look, I like a movie
Speaker 4: where people are talking.
Speaker 1: So you know, is your wife involved with the aren't
Speaker 1: you going on tour doing impre.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're we're we're going to go on tour with
Speaker 4: our podcast get made, and then I'm gonna go off
Speaker 4: on tour with my improv group that I would perform with.
Speaker 4: What's that called against dinosaur?
Speaker 1: Dinosaur? I think about elephant though, I just threw it
Speaker 1: in there. That's fine, you know, last minute change. I like,
Speaker 1: I like elephant, I like Dinasa. What I found was,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a tricky. It's a tricky name
Speaker 1: because it could be a band when it comes to
Speaker 1: the dinosaur, Well what's that? And so now what I've
Speaker 1: realized is like I got to really make I really
Speaker 1: got to make posters that put our our faces on it.
Speaker 4: Right, you know, because people understand a lot of.
Speaker 1: J Mascus fans and elephant elephant sex is a neutral
Speaker 1: milk Coachel guy just confused dudesies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got to make sure that people know they're
Speaker 4: not coming out for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I.
Speaker 4: It's I.
Speaker 1: You don't hear about uh improv touring that well?
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: So I really had this idea, which was we've been
Speaker 6: performing together as a group. I would say seventy percent
Speaker 6: of this group has been performing together for over twenty years.
Speaker 6: And we did chose New York and then we moved
Speaker 6: out to LA. We did chose in La and it's
Speaker 6: such a fun thing to do. And you know, there
Speaker 6: was this theory that no one wanted to go see
Speaker 6: improv And then I think now it's podcasts have taken
Speaker 6: off and things. People understand what improv is. People get
Speaker 6: excited about it. So I was like, let's do it.
Speaker 6: And it's not financially the smartest thing that I've ever done,
Speaker 6: because we tore with like nine people. Wow, you know,
Speaker 6: we're playing big rooms and we're having fun and you
Speaker 6: know it and you're gonna make it right over here.
Speaker 6: But the but it's like, and I also think it's
Speaker 6: like it's a unique thing. Yeah, oh sorry, oh shit, sorry,
Speaker 6: I get no problem, okay, And then it's, uh, this
Speaker 6: is actually good because this will have a stoplight for you.
Speaker 4: The other one you have to crossover. I'm just kind
Speaker 4: of run across it.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm looking forward to We've done it a
Speaker 6: few times so far. We did a three night stint
Speaker 6: in Chicago to start off. Then we went to Seattle,
Speaker 6: and then we went to Portland. And each time we
Speaker 6: go we get bigger and bigger venues. Oh that's great
Speaker 6: and doing big venues and we'll see it's but it's
Speaker 6: also just fun to perform with a bunch of people
Speaker 6: that you like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's meaning to be the biggest money thing.
Speaker 6: But at the same time, based on what we're just
Speaker 6: talking about, like I think people want to have a
Speaker 6: good time and life.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Just this past week, I've done shows at the Comedy
Speaker 1: Store and the and the Improv and people were so
Speaker 1: laughing with like a therapeutic release because they I was
Speaker 1: a little worried, why is it sold out here at
Speaker 1: the Comedy Store?
Speaker 4: Are people celebrating?
Speaker 1: No, they had a blazed overlook in their eye and
Speaker 1: they were looking for a distraction. And it's been and.
Speaker 6: It's kind of it's kind of wonderful, or at least
Speaker 6: the way that I feel like we've approached it too,
Speaker 6: not that we're doing this a lot, but just like
Speaker 6: it's not we can talk about anything else, was talking
Speaker 6: about anything else.
Speaker 4: But that is a great thing too. It's like, you know,
Speaker 4: you can touch on it.
Speaker 6: We all we all understand we're all breathing this air
Speaker 6: of toxicity to certain degrees, you know. But then you're
Speaker 6: also like, is everybody I don't know, No, I don't know,
Speaker 6: you know, get nervous, I get nervous.
Speaker 4: That's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I touched on it here and there and
Speaker 1: then go back to the other comics for branting, and
Speaker 1: they're like, we know.
Speaker 4: That's what I think. You don't want to.
Speaker 6: No one wants like like a point of view that
Speaker 6: could be fun, great, but get out of it. We
Speaker 6: also just don't want to. We're going to be inundated
Speaker 6: with it again. We've got to take our medicine very small,
Speaker 6: uh like doses. We have a long way to go.
Speaker 4: We have to.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're gonna I think we're gonna do it. It's
Speaker 6: five point thirty now, will probably be like two minutes late.
Speaker 6: Oh hell yeah, this is this is a you know,
Speaker 6: this is a pretty masterful we got contract.
Speaker 4: Yeah.

Speaker 1: I was in a lot of trouble for being disruptive
Speaker 1: and everyone was telling my dad, and my dad's solution
Speaker 1: was to do a prat fall down all the stairs
Speaker 1: in front of all the teachers, and he pulled his
Speaker 1: pants up first and then fell down like Jerry Lewis,
Speaker 1: and it took all of the pressure off of me.
Speaker 1: Then everyone was just focused on my dad.
