1
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Well, I invited you here, thought I made myself perfectly clear.

2
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: When you're a guest to my home, you gotta come

3
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: to me empty. And I said, no, guests, your presences

4
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: presents enough. I already had too much stuff, So how

5
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: do you dare to surbey me?

6
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: Welcome to? I said, no gifts. I'm Brigard Wineker.

7
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: Oh.

8
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: I hope you're doing fine. What's going on in my life?

9
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 2: I ate dinner at five pm, and so I'm full,

10
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: but it's earlier than usual. I feel like that time

11
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: just continues to slip backwards. That's just maybe a condition

12
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: of the pandemic. I feel like by the time this

13
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: is overall, be eating lunch at eight am. And that's fine.

14
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: We're just doing what we can do. You don't care,

15
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: that doesn't matter. You're here for the podcast, and so

16
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: we're going to get into it. I'm very excited about

17
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: today's guest, and you should be too. Just a deer man,

18
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: none other than Jimmy Kimmel.

19
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: Hey, now, how you doing, Jimmy? Welcome to?

20
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: I said, no gifts. It's weird to see you without glasses.

21
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: It's a kind of a new development for me.

22
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: I feel like I should put on glasses now, since

23
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: you are now not balanced the scales here. I bought these.

24
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 4: These are women's glasses. I bought on Costco dot com.

25
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: What they're very nice looking. Well, thank you, you know

26
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: they are.

27
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 4: I need reading glasses now, and I lose them constantly

28
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 4: all over the house. So I buy them in packs

29
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: of eleven now and then sometimes they show up and

30
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 4: they're like, I don't know what color this is, but

31
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: they're not designed for men.

32
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 2: They look nice.

33
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: Oh, thank you.

34
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: Wait, so Costco sells glasses in bulk.

35
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 4: Oh they sell everything in bulk. Yeah. Yeah, they can

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: get a whole pack of reading glasses on costco dot com.

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: What if you want to launch an optometry office or something, Yeah,

38
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: we're opening a lens Crafters.

39
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: Actually, do you remember how Pamela Anderson opened the Starbucks

40
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: in her home just so she had it there.

41
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: But is that true?

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know. Oh you missed that one. It

43
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: was a big story at the time. When it happened,

44
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: it was like, oh my god, nothing crazier then this

45
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 4: will ever happen. When I was a kid, when I

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 4: was in junior high school, I wore glasses. I always

47
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 4: had glasses as a kid, but my parents were too

48
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 4: cheap to ever take me back to get another Paris like,

49
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 4: these are the glasses you will wear for the rest

50
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: of your life. And one arm broke off glasses and

51
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: they never took me back to get another pair. So

52
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: I wore for at least a year and a half.

53
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: I wore glasses with one arm. And I'm here to

54
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 4: tell you that you don't need two arms for glasses.

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: You can wear them unless someone calls your name and

56
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: you turn your head, in which case they will go

57
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 4: flying across the room.

58
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 2: Right, I feel like that's going to require a decent

59
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: amount of tilting your head. That's going to lead to

60
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: some sort of neck problem.

61
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 4: You learn to work with it, But yeah, you might.

62
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll find out in my eighties that that's where

63
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 4: my net it's.

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Going to manifest itself. At some point. You're going to

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: just have this strange tick that you're dealing with. Wait,

66
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: so how did you solve the problem? You ended up

67
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: convincing your parents to get new glasses.

68
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: I applied for what do they call it when you

69
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 4: divorce your parents?

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 2: Emancipation?

71
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: Yes, I became emascurpated. No, I got a job, and

72
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: then I just bought my.

73
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Own glasses, right right, yeah, Well, glasses until maybe five

74
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: or ten years ago were a very expensive thing to

75
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: buy unless you wanted the worst glasses in the world.

76
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: Isn't it funny that you can pay I can get

77
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 4: a pair of ray bands or whatever, or even more expensive.

78
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: I sometimes I'll wander in the sunglass hut with my

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: wife and I stare at these glasses and go, why

80
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: is this one three hundred and fifty dollars? And then

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: the glasses at CVS are one dollar? Why is that?

82
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: And the answer is I don't know.

83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think you put them on and you'll you'll

84
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 2: know almost immediately, or at least people looking at you

85
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: will know what's going on. I feel like a CVS

86
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: pair of glasses, Well, I don't know. I haven't looked

87
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: at the CBS glasses in a while, so.

88
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: I cannot aspagine how they should be. I mean the

89
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: price comparison, Like if you bought a car that costs

90
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 4: three hundred times as much as another car, you'd say, well,

91
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 4: there's you know, this is a much better car.

92
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: But in the case of the CVS classes, it's like

93
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: forty percent. That's very true. This is the thing that

94
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: I feel like. An optometrist told me they were trying

95
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 2: to sell me on a pair of glasses that like

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars and they told me, well the last

97
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: of ten or fifteen years. And I thought, I don't

98
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: want that. I don't want to be wearing the same

99
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: par These will not look good in three years, in fifteen,

100
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to look like I'm out of my mind

101
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 2: wearing a pair of glass.

102
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 4: Unless you're Woody Allen, you don't wear the same pair

103
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 4: of glasses for your whole life.

104
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: And no one wants to be going for that look

105
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 2: in any right, Ye out of style? Oh to be

106
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: in a sunglass hut, Now that's the dream.

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, sure, how are you doing? I'm doing well,

108
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 4: everything's good, you know, I I there are definitely things

109
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 4: I enjoy about this lockdown time of our lives. You know,

110
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: I'm doing a lot less, which you're right.

111
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: I mean you were working from home for a long time.

112
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I was doing the show for my Actually

113
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 4: the first week I was like kind of doing everything

114
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: by myself. I was just sitting and talking into my laptop.

115
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 4: And then we decided that maybe we should we should

116
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: coordinate it and really you know, at the time, I thought, well, well,

117
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: this will be over in two weeks. We all did,

118
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: and here we are. Yeah. Now, I don't know if

119
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 4: you've seen, but we have. You know, we forced the

120
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 4: staff into the into the studio, right, and so there

121
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: are like fifteen people sitting there pretending the last at

122
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 4: my jokes.

123
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 2: They make a very good audience.

124
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're pretty good because you know what one of

125
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 4: the I found that it if you find if you

126
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: have an audience whose jobs, whose livelihoods depend upon laughing

127
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 4: at your jokes, it's really funny. You turned out to

128
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: be hilarious.

129
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: If all of the audience is being paid at all times,

130
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: you're going to get a decent laugh.

131
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 4: That's yes.

132
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: And you guys have a new kind of setup for

133
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: the guests. You've kind of got this a little bit

134
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: more casual. You're not behind a desk anymore. How are

135
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: you feeling about that?

136
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one of those things. What do you think

137
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: of that? Because I feel like maybe I might not

138
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: ever go back to the desk. I don't know, I

139
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 4: kind of like just sitting there.

140
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you're kind of a casual guy.

141
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: The desk has I mean, as long expired as far

142
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: as why was it ever there in the first place.

143
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: Why is it's not an office job?

144
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 4: Well, it's in case I need to do my taxes suddenly,

145
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 4: you know, I have a flat surface. The benefits to

146
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 4: the desk, I'll tell you a couple of benefits of

147
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 4: the desk. One of them is it gives you a

148
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: place to like hold up an album or a photograph

149
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 4: or whatever. And and it has to be very still

150
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: when that happens because the camera is shooting it from

151
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 4: like thirty feet away, So that is good. And then

152
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: also sometimes you can hide props that you want to reveal.

153
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,679
Speaker 4: I can't really do if there's no desk. I also

154
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: feel a little bit weird about, like I'm not sure

155
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: how to sit sometimes, you know, Like I like high

156
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: I like only having a third of a body. It's

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 4: almost like being a muppet or something. So that's nice.

158
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: So there definitely are some advantages to and also like

159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: my desk card with like my questions, my notes that

160
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 4: I've written down, I don't have those, So what are

161
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: you doing?

162
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: Then? Uh?

163
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: You know, the truth is I know it all. I

164
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: have it in my head. It's just it's a little

165
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 4: bit of a security blanket to have it there. But

166
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 4: if there's something really specific that I need to read,

167
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 4: like what time something is on, or you know, a

168
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: list of names or something, it's it's not as convenient.

169
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like you get a little magazine rack

170
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: to hold things, you get an easel to put them on. Yeah,

171
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: you know, maybe a little like a little garden wall

172
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: behind you to hide various props.

173
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 4: That could be nice.

174
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: I don't know, as someone who never knows what to

175
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: do with my hands, that would be to be able

176
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: to just put them on a desk. I would need

177
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: that so I don't know what you're doing that would

178
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: pull me off. The energy of the show would completely change,

179
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: you know, as.

180
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 4: A master at with as far as TV hosts, as

181
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: far as the hands go is Tom bergeron I don't

182
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 4: know if you've ever noticed how much he adjusts the

183
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 4: cuffs on his his shirt sleeves. He will He's got

184
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 4: a thing where he comes back from commercial I'd always

185
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 4: noticed this when he was on Dancing with the Stars, that.

186
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: He was always kind of fixing his sleeves. Well, that's

187
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: something to do. You've got to find some business to do.

188
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think he invented it really nobody else does.

189
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: I mean, what else are you going to do? Check

190
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 2: your watch or put your hand?

191
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 4: You could check your watch, but that it seems like

192
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 4: you want to leave, like you're ready to go, and

193
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: that's not really a great message.

194
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 2: For the viewers, right. What else have you been doing

195
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: in quarantine? I mean, what is your day to day

196
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: when you're not working?

197
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 4: Well, you know my macro may I'm pretty focused on that.

198
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: Well, you've been sending out those in the mail, and

199
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: I've appreciated them.

200
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 4: Yes, it's all owls, which I think I'm trying to

201
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: figure out a new animal. But I've been you know,

202
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 4: I'm working and then I have two little kids and

203
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 4: they're crazy and they run around. Basically, I come home

204
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: from work, they attack me at the door while I

205
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 4: still have my backpack on, you know, I topple over

206
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 4: and then we entertain them and vice versa for about

207
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 4: two and a half three hours, try to get them

208
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: to sleep, get them to sleep. I usually fall asleep,

209
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 4: actually I fall asleep with my son, and my wife

210
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 4: fall asleep with my with our daughter every single night,

211
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: and then about an hour and ten minutes later, we

212
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 4: wake up and I do homework for about three hours.

213
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 4: It's great. Yeah.

214
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 2: Do you feel like your kids have noticed different major

215
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: difference in life from the pandemic or is it?

216
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

217
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: I do.

218
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: I think they're going to be you know, like if

219
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: I leave the house even for a minute, it's like, well,

220
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 4: where are you going? What's you know, what's going on?

221
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 4: Especially when we went we first went back to work.

222
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: They didn't understand it at all because every day's like

223
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 4: every day for them was like, oh, this is how

224
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: it is. Dad and mom are home. And then it's like,

225
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 4: well it's not Saturday or Sunday, it's Monday. Now we

226
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 4: have to go to work. And you know, it's you

227
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 4: hate to disappoint them, but I do explain that that

228
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 4: we have to go to work.

229
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: Right this is my dog. My dog is dealing with

230
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 2: similar issues.

231
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: You have conversations.

232
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: You I sit her down and I try to explain

233
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: to her, if you want to keep living here, I'm

234
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: going to have to make money. I can't have you

235
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: eating the house plants while I'm gone, this kind of thing,

236
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: and she doesn't understand. Yeah, it's you know, the problem

237
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: is growing exponentially and we'll just have to deal with

238
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: it at some point.

239
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: And you know what, the dog, I think will get Yeah,

240
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 4: and the kids, all three of these creatures will get

241
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 4: used to it when they have to. Right.

242
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: Have you traveled at all during this Yes? I took

243
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 2: an RV trip to Idaho. That's right. Wait did you

244
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 2: was this your first time driving an RV?

245
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: Yes? It was.

246
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: What what did that feel like? That feels like such

247
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: a giant jump. It goes from fun to absolutely terrifying.

248
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 2: Like there was a stretch where I decided, you know what,

249
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: instead of stopping, we're gonna I'm gonna go through the

250
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: night and.

251
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 4: We're going to power our way from Utah to Idaho.

252
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 4: But then it was three o'clock in the morning, and

253
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 4: my wife and two little kids are conked out in

254
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 4: the back, you know, and they're you know, for them,

255
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 4: they're just dreaming, they're enjoying themselves. And for me, I

256
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: was guzzling coffee my just imagining. The thing that kept

257
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: me awake was imagining a big ball of fire and

258
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 4: my whole family in it, going through terrible situations like well,

259
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: you know, how would I want this to turn out?

260
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 4: Would I want to make sure I hope I die

261
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: with them because other you know, how will I handle

262
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: this nightmare that I've created, and that kept me awake.

263
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: But I couldn't help but be resentful as I was

264
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 4: the only one awake in driving.

265
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 2: I think drinking too much coffee late at night, We'll

266
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 2: do that to you. Yeah, and driving a five thousand

267
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: pound vehicle just resenting everyone in it. Did Mollie drive

268
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: the RV at all? No? No, no, she did not

269
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 2: sign up for driving. How fast does an RV go?

270
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: Are you going like freeway speeds? This feels so dangerous

271
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: to me?

272
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, you can go fast. And then but when

273
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 4: it gets windy is when it starts getting a little shaky,

274
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 4: because you can really feel it, right, And we even

275
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: drove by it was it wasn't necessarily an RV. It

276
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 4: was a camper like that was trailing vehicle and the

277
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: camper those are the ones that are dangerous, I've learned,

278
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 4: because when they are attached to the vehicle, there's a

279
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 4: much greater chance that the camper is going to flip

280
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: over and flip the vehicle along with it.

281
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: God, just the vehicular chaos you've imagined over the last year.

282
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: So we're all lucky to be alive.

283
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: Did you stop any I mean you left la in

284
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: this thing. Where was your first stop? Was it in

285
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: like southern Utah or what?

286
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: Yes, it was, we stopped it. There's this great campsite

287
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: near It's spelled Hurricane, but they call it hur Hurrican,

288
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 4: you know that. Right, of course, we stopped at that

289
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 4: camp site and that was great. We stayed in the

290
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 4: tent and saw all the stars and all of that

291
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 4: stuff and it's lovely covered with dirt, and we loaded

292
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 4: ourselves back up. And then on my way up to

293
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: this is what really got us off track is I

294
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 4: decided that on our drive up to Utah, I knew

295
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 4: one person. I know one person who lives in Salt

296
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 4: Lake City, and it's Ty Burrell from Modern Fans, right.

297
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 4: He owns a bar there, Yeah, and he lives there.

298
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 4: That's where he lives. So I decided I had his address.

299
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: We were going to stop at his house and knock

300
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: on the door, just with no no heads up, nothing.

301
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: So we did and he was quite a way off

302
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: the freeway, which you know, takes a while on the RV.

303
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: And we get off the freeway and we get to

304
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 4: his house and I'm not gonna do nobody's else. Now

305
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 4: I've and I'm laughing the whole time. This is gonna

306
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 4: be so funny. I'm knocking this door. And then we

307
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: get there and I decide, Okay, here's what we're gonna do,

308
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: and my wife take a picture. I'm just sitting on

309
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: the steps in front of his front door, and then

310
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 4: we're going to text it to him and see what happened.

311
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: And you know, a lot of pranks that take a

312
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 4: lot of effort, is easy to be disappointed by the

313
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: people's reaction because he's like, oh my god, what are

314
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 4: you doing? Intel? Oh, one of those even what am

315
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 4: I doing it? I'm in front of your house.

316
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: I drove an rvy.

317
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 4: I've never been to salag City before. It's my first time.

318
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 4: I'm sitting in front of your house.

319
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: Was he completely out of town?

320
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 4: He was complete, he was in La Oh.

321
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: For me to just drop by a friend's house here

322
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 2: is a huge hassle.

323
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: I would only do it as a prank. I would

324
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 4: only do it to intentionally make them uncomfortable.

325
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: I feel like you're very committed to a prank. It's

326
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: something I admire, and that also makes me really uncomfortable.

327
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: I'm someone who is not good at pranks or good

328
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: at receiving a prank.

329
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: I love them. I you know, I was thinking about

330
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 4: it today because when we're taking this is April fools Day,

331
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 4: and I was thinking, you know, what am I going

332
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 4: to do? And you know, should I do anything? It's

333
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 4: just like, you know, like if you're a real drunk,

334
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: you don't get hammered on New Year's Eve.

335
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: You know, that's kind of me on April fools Day.

336
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: But I do like doing stuff.

337
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 4: And I bought my kids some rubber dog shit. We

338
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 4: invested in, uh war pieces of rubber dogshit, and I

339
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: brought them home and I showed them to my daughter

340
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: who's six, and boy, I've never seen anybody laugh harder

341
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 4: than she was laughing while we were setting them on

342
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 4: the toilets around the house. We just put them on

343
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 4: the seat and then just in front of the toilet

344
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 4: or whatever and waiting for you know, Grandma and Aunt

345
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: Kelly to find these things.

346
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: And she was dying laughing. I mean, she was laughing

347
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: so hard that it made me laugh so hard.

348
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: And I don't know that I've ever laughed more from

349
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 4: five dollars worth of anything, never mind brown rubber.

350
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 2: That it's incredible. I had a friend text meybe. About

351
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: an hour ago, he said, you better check out your

352
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: Instagram stories. They're full of porn. I think you got hacked,

353
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: and my heart sank. I was like, oh my god,

354
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: what's happening. I can't handle these things. And of course

355
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't. It was a prank. And you know I'm not.

356
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: I'm nervous enough as is. I'm unsettled all the time.

357
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: I don't need more pranks in my life.

358
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 4: Since there are certain people I won't pull pranks on

359
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: because it upsets them too much. Everybody I could go through,

360
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,199
Speaker 4: like if you and I went through a list of

361
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 4: everyone we know mutually, which is probably one hundred and

362
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: fifty people, right right right, I could tell you whether

363
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 4: or not I would pull a prank on each one

364
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 4: of those people, and maybe to what degree.

365
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: I feel like even old coworkers, the writers at your show,

366
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: I could probably tell you that person certainly doesn't like

367
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: to be pranked. That person, yeah, that kind of thing.

368
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, whether they like it or not is not necessarily

369
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 4: part of my criteria.

370
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I like scaring people. I like jumping

371
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: out of places, and I get that from my dad,

372
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: and no one ever likes that and no. My boyfriend

373
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 2: Jim had to finally beg me, you have to promise

374
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: you'll never do this again. And I couldn't understand, like

375
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 2: why would I stop doing this? But it was genuinely scaring.

376
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: I love it too, and my mom would do it

377
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: a lot.

378
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 4: And my mother would, you know, like grab my dad's

379
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: ankle in the shower and that kind of stuff, and

380
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: it is so fun. I mean, you know, there are

381
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: certain people around my house, but my wife gets so

382
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: mad when I scare her. I can't scare her anymore

383
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 4: because sometimes I scare her accidentally, So I have to

384
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: make a lot of noise now when I go into

385
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 4: the bathroom when I come home from work, because when

386
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 4: she's bathing the children, you know, because they react, they're

387
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 4: like hey, and she screams. Some people are just jumpy, right,

388
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 4: Those are the ones who are really fun to scare.

389
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: Right, And I think the thing those people need to

390
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 2: understand is it's one of the rare feelings that you

391
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: don't get in any other situation. To get your heart

392
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: racing and you're afraid for a moment and then you're

393
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: safe enjoy that for a minute. That's not a pick

394
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 2: of a deal.

395
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 4: That's one way of looking at it. Yeah, I think

396
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 4: you know what a really great prank is, and this

397
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 4: is if you are somebody like your boyfriend who gets

398
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 4: scared a lot. Is if you can have you can

399
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 4: have wherewithal to keep this in your brain. The moment

400
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 4: you do get prank is pretend to die of a

401
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 4: heart attack, and then it all turns right back around.

402
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: This is all adding up. I do have cholesterol at

403
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: the high end of normal. So I think that I'm

404
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 2: just building a story here and eventually I will be

405
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 2: dead on the floor for a few minutes and see

406
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: what happens. Jimmy, I mean speaking of all of this

407
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: kind of thing and surprising people and you know, not

408
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: obeying people's wishes, that kind of thing. Look, this podcast

409
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: is it has a very clear title. I said no gifts,

410
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 2: and a few weeks ago, excuse me, I just.

411
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 4: Feel like it'd be rude to not bring a gift.

412
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 4: You know.

413
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: Look, look I reached out to you. I thought Jimmy

414
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 2: could probably use a little exposure. Maybe you'd be on

415
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: my podcast and we just have a nice chat. This

416
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: is my former boss. I have a deep respect for

417
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: this person. We'll have a good time and then move

418
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: on with our lives. You agreed to be on the podcast.

419
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 2: I was very happy, and I believe it was yesterday.

420
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 2: I opened the door and there's a box waiting for me.

421
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know, but you know I

422
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: just wanted to get you a little something.

423
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I mean, do you think I should open

424
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: it here on the show? I can wait till later.

425
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 4: Okay, now I think you should open it. I'd love

426
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 4: to get your reaction to it's kind of a wrap beautifully.

427
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's truly a beautiful wrapping job. It's kind of

428
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: a Is this a Gingham? Is that what we're calling this?

429
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 4: I believe it is. Yes, I believe it is. Yeah,

430
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: maybe linens that look like that. Yes, it's flew a

431
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: Gingham pattern, wrapped by my assistant Kelly. Because I am

432
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 4: the worst rapper of gifts, I.

433
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: Would need that absolutely best you in that footage of

434
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: me wrapping a gift would be the saddest footage ever recorded.

435
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 4: I can't even figure it out. I cannot never it's

436
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 4: either way too much or three eighths of an inch

437
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 4: too little. I'll always have a hole that I have

438
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 4: to then cut out another square of paper. And tape

439
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: over the hole.

440
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: Or there's a giant like soft bunch of it at

441
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 2: the end. Oh yeah, it makes no sense to me.

442
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: I finally, just I've tried. I've really given at my all.

443
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: I've looked at YouTube tutorials. It doesn't work for me.

444
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 2: I think it's I'm not trying. I am trying.

445
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 4: I even thought i'd be smart and start wrapping things

446
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 4: in aluminum foil. That doesn't work at all. There's any

447
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 4: kind of a any kind of a sharp edge forget

448
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: about it.

449
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: Right, and aluminum foil tears so easily. Yeah, but let's

450
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: open this up. Let's see what's happening here.

451
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 4: Open it up. This is something. It makes me think

452
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 4: of you, and in fact, it makes me think of

453
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 4: when I hired you, kind of why I hired you.

454
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: Oh fantastic.

455
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: I can't wait to see this. Okay, Oh, this.

456
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 2: Is very well wrapped. Some people might go too far.

457
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: I'll just say it is.

458
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 4: I might have to use my teeth hair even Yeah,

459
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 4: you know, Oh, my kids are yelling at me. Hey kids,

460
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 4: I'm doing a podcast, been yelling, come out, come out.

461
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,600

Speaker 4: Okay, hold on, because you may get to witness a

463
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: prank here, so uh, don't look in your box.

464
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I have not seen what's inside the box yet.

465
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 4: What's going on here? Oh? Thank you?

466
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: You made this for me?

467
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you? All right. It turns out to be

468
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 4: an Easter egg?

469
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 2: Is that or a painted Easter egg?

470
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 4: It's a painted Easter egg? And she says to Dad

471
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: from Jane, I made this for you, love Jane.

472
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's so sweet.

473
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 4: All right, sorry about that.

474
00:22:50,920 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 2: I don't apologize. All right, let's open this up. I'd

475
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 2: like to get the tissue here, yep, tissue, the whole deal. Oh,

476
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: this is incredible. This is a deep cut. This is

477
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: a real cut. You've given me a volleyball, which that's right.

478
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you can explain or I'm to explain. Well,

479
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 2: I have to have some conversation about this.

480
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 4: You know, I always thought your Twitter was very funny,

481
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: but for whatever reason, what stuck with me most was

482
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 4: when you talk about your volleyball team and that you

483
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 4: were suing them and that you're disappointing with them, and

484
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 4: things are not good with my volleyball team. You tweeted

485
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 4: a lot about your volleyball team, but you space them out,

486
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 4: as I recall it'd be like three months no mention

487
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 4: of the volleyball team and then something, you know, like,

488
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 4: you know, praying for the strength to forgive my volleyball team.

489
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 2: I that's very true. I did that for an extremely

490
00:23:53,280 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 2: long time. It basically ended in twenty sixteen when the

491
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 2: world started on fire and Twitter also kind of started

492
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: on fire, and I was like, I don't think people

493
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: want to hear about my volleyball. I don't think they

494
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 2: even want to see me tweeting anymore. You know what,

495
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: I think it's volleyball time again, and now you have

496
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: a volleyball hopefully it will inspire you to tweet more

497
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: about your team. I've stopped tweeting. Twitter is not a

498
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: fun place to be anymore. It's just it's truly just

499
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: opening the gates of hell. Every time you get on it. You're,

500
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: of course the world. A lot of horrible things are

501
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 2: happening in the world. I just I need to be

502
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: able to control when I see those things. I can't

503
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: have just the banshees flying out at me at all times. Yeah,

504
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: I like the big I think the strike well, strike

505
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: a thousand I suppose was last January. There was a

506
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: moment when truly every person on Twitter was saying We're

507
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: entering World War three. Get ready for it, it's this week,

508
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 2: and I was convinced. I was like, oh, I mean,

509
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: most of these people are smarter than me, they probably

510
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: read more news than me. It's world War three. And

511
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: then of course that didn't come true, and so that

512
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 2: was kind of the last one of the final straws

513
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: for me. I was just like, I can't my brain

514
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: cannot handle this website anymore. It's not enjoyable, and it

515
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: just feels like you're telling jokes at a funeral all

516
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 2: the time. It's just a little miserable. And it's also

517
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 2: the way to go is to only have outgoing Twitter.

518
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: That would be nice only when you.

519
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 4: Put the jokes out, but you never see any feedback

520
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 4: to anything. Or I mean, you could do that if

521
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 4: you really wanted to, but I guess kind of part

522
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 4: of the fun of putting a joke out there is

523
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 4: seeing if people press that little heart button.

524
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 2: Right, there's the weird addiction issue that kind of goes

525
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 2: into it. There are just all kinds of things. But

526
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: I loved volleyball. I mean Twitter. I started it as

527
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: basically I thought, you know, I want to be a writer.

528
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 2: This is my I don't know anyone in this business.

529
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: I'll write jokes. I know how to do this, or

530
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 2: I'll learn how to do it. And I did it

531
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: for a long time, so it caused me a great

532
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: deal of anxiety. But the volleyball team was something I

533
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: would I knew I would always joy doing. I think

534
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 2: there's a lot of drama here. There's a very clear

535
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: goal of what's going on, and I can do it

536
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: once a week, I can do it once a month

537
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: or whatever. Also, volleyball is the sport that scares me

538
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: the most.

539
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 4: Is it?

540
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it's because I think largely because my older brother

541
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: was always throwing things at me as a kid, and

542
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 2: so there's like a real built in flinch mechanism in

543
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 2: my brain, even more than like dodgeball, Oh what, far

544
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: more than dodgeball for some reason, I think because dodgeball

545
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: the goal is to run away from the ball, and

546
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: so you have you know, you have the excuse to

547
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: get away from the ball. But in volleyball, if you're

548
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 2: running away from the ball, you're fucked.

549
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 4: So you're saying you have no use for this gift

550
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 4: that I've given.

551
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 2: I absolutely have a use for it. I get to

552
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 2: cherish it. I have this thing that I tweeted about

553
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 2: for years has now manifested itself in physical form. Yes,

554
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: this is like the secret. This is like what Oprah

555
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: was talking about. This is exactly the books. Everything you

556
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 2: do it tweet about it long enough and you will

557
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: get a volleyball. No, I mean, I mean that said

558
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 2: Twitter for me, as you well know. I mean, I

559
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: don't know if I've ever told you this story. Like

560
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: I tweeted for years and years and I moved to

561
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 2: La in twenty ten, and I had been here for

562
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: four years with no luck getting a writing job. I

563
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: had a couple like close calls that didn't work out,

564
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: and in twenty fourteen June, I was like, okay, well

565
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm not going to write anymore. I mean, like, I

566
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 2: have no money this I really don't know anybody that's

567
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: gonna be able to get me a job. And Twitter,

568
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 2: I had had some you know whatever success on it,

569
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: but nothing had come of it. So I started looking

570
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 2: up social media jobs in Utah. I was like, it's over,

571
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 2: and my friend Matt Ingabretzen was like, just hang on

572
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 2: a little bit longer. And a month later my friend.

573
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: It was eleven o'clock at night and I had just

574
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:55,719
Speaker 2: tweeted something that I had enjoyed, and a friend texted

575
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 2: me and said, I'm going to Krispy Kreme, which is

576
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: in Burbank. Do you want to go for a ride.

577
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 2: So it's like, I didn't look at my phone the

578
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: entire way, and we'd get to Chrispy Kreme and I

579
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 2: take it out, take the phone out, and I've received

580
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 2: a direct message from Jimmy Kimmel and about passed away.

581
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 2: And you said you had been reading my tweets and

582
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: that you enjoyed them, and I was. I was so

583
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 2: glad at that moment to be with a friend, because

584
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 2: had I not been, I would have spent twelve hours

585
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: thinking how do you respond to this, I'm going to

586
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: ruin another, you know, my last opportunity. And he's like,

587
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: just be a normal person, just say thank you. And

588
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: so that's what I did, which is, you know, whatever

589
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: I would have come up with certainly would have ruined

590
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: my chances at getting this job. And then over about

591
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: the course of am of course, the next day I

592
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: was flying to Utah and so I was like, oh,

593
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: any chance of a job coming up is now ruined.

594
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 2: I'm going to be in Utah for three weeks. But

595
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: for the next month, I every time I tweeted, I

596
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 2: was sweating because you said you wanted to meet and

597
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: about possibly for a job, and so I was like, well,

598
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: every time I tweet, I may ruin my chance at

599
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: getting this job. And we also did have a lot

600
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 2: of communication, so every time I tweet, it was like, oh, well,

601
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: I haven't heard from Jimmy in two weeks. I guess

602
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 2: the hope is Hope has died, and who knows what

603
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: will happen. But then I finally came and I met

604
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 2: you at your office and you hired me, which and

605
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: then I went into my car and cried, and then,

606
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you truly just turned my entire life around.

607
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: It was such a wild moment for me. And weirdly,

608
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: that was kind of the last time you and I spoke,

609
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: just had a conversation, because then you became my boss.

610
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: And then my next fear set in, which is, now

611
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: this man's going.

612
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 4: To fire me.

613
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 2: So I was just afraid of you for a year

614
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 2: and a half. And I mean, it was a wonderful

615
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: job and I had such a great time, but every

616
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: night I would go to bed and think, I hope

617
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: I have at least one joke he likes tomorrow or

618
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: career is dead.

619
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I'm pretty I'm pretty loose when it

620
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 4: comes to that sort of thing, Like you can go

621
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 4: through a pretty long dry spell and I won't say

622
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 4: anything about it because I get it, And you know what,

623
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 4: I think that's a not that we're necessarily looking for lessons,

624
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 4: but it's interesting because people think it's People think that

625
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 4: you become successful because of a moment, and if you

626
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 4: really if you don't really analyze it, you may go like, oh,

627
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 4: well that was the moment, Bridget that I happened. Jimmy

628
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 4: Kimmel saw his tweet and then he contacted him and

629
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 4: he hired him. But the truth is, you've been working

630
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:38,239
Speaker 4: on this every single day for years and doing it

631
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 4: and doing it and doing it and doing it over

632
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 4: and over again. I see funny tweets all the time,

633
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 4: but I won't necessarily reach out to somebody unless I

634
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: see a pattern of them, because anybody can write something

635
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 4: funny once. And I probably was tracking you for six months.

636
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 4: When I reached out to you.

637
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: I think you had been because I remember you when

638
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: you fall. Of course, I remember when you fall me,

639
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: and I was like, well, I mean that adds a

640
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 2: little bit of anxiety, but then you kind of forget

641
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: about it and keep like there's like two weeks Jimmy

642
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: Kimmel's followed me. I better be good. Then you don't

643
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: hear from him, and so it's just like, okay, well

644
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: he probably muted me, and now I'm free again. But

645
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: then it all worked out. It never occurred to me

646
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: to mute anybody.

647
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: I think if I follow somebody, that's like, uh, you

648
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 4: know that that means I'm interested.

649
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 2: Oh well, it's it's occurred to me hundreds of times

650
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: to mute people.

651
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 4: It's weird to be in a position where people are

652
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 4: over analyzing what you might think for me anyway, because

653
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 4: you know, I've certainly been on the other end of that,

654
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 4: and and I never really think of myself that way.

655
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 4: I have to like stop and kind of go through,

656
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 4: you know, go okay, oh yeah, well all right, that

657
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 4: makes sense. Yeah. The guys, you know, looking for a job,

658
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 4: and that's you know, that's what I did when I

659
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 4: was trying to get the attention of like my local

660
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 4: radio DJ who I would call it and try to

661
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: be funny and they're like, yeah, that's funny, and then

662
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 4: you know, you go to you never even get the

663
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 4: hotline number. You have to keep calling the request line

664
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: over and over again to try to get through and

665
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: make the guy laugh and hopefully meet him at a

666
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 4: at an appearance at a wet and wild water park

667
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 4: or something.

668
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 2: But that, I mean that worked. I mean that worked

669
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 2: out for you. I mean I'm curious, like, because you've

670
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: started in radio and now that podcasting is this enormous thing,

671
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: do you have any interest in podcasting?

672
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 4: I enjoy I loved being on the radio. You know,

673
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 4: it's basically this is the same as the radio, although

674
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 4: there's a lot less pressure when you're doing a podcast

675
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 4: than when you're doing a radio show, where you know,

676
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 4: you have a boss and you have ratings every month

677
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 4: and you have all of this and sponsors to deal

678
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 4: with and all this kind of stuff. It's definitely different

679
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 4: and it was much harder to get in. Like I

680
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 4: feel like if there had been podcasts when I was

681
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 4: starting out, I could have maybe gone more quickly, because

682
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 4: just getting on the air is two years of hanging

683
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 4: around the radio station. You're barely ever on and then

684
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: you know, some might call it a stroke of luck,

685
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 4: but really it was just like your situation where I

686
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 4: was just I came up a little funny ideas for

687
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 4: this dish jockey, you know, over a course of years,

688
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 4: like a couple of times a week, and then finally

689
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: he got an opportunity where he could hire me, and

690
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,479
Speaker 4: he hired me. And it wasn't a matter of like

691
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 4: being funny one time, or making a tape or you know,

692
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 4: acing a job interview or something. It was just a

693
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 4: matter of like laying a ton of groundwork. Sure, and really,

694
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 4: like you know, being it's not even about it's not

695
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 4: about being an A plus once or twice. It's it's

696
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: about being like a B minus like a thousand times

697
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: in a row.

698
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: You know, everybody appreciates a B minus. A B minus

699
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: is pretty good, right, that's beyond, way beyond passing.

700
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

701
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: Now, something else I've been wanting to talk to you

702
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: about is cooking, because you're I mean, you're cooking up

703
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: a storm. I mean, as of the last couple of

704
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 2: days even you're now just boasting about how good you

705
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: are at making pizza. Cigarette Have you been cooking your

706
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 2: entire adult life like this? Or is it like a

707
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 2: recent interest.

708
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 4: I started cooking when I was twenty. I actually I

709
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 4: started when I was a teenager, but I was cooking

710
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 4: things like hot dogs. But I put a lot of

711
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 4: effort into and I still do. When I make a

712
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 4: hot dog is like I used to eat three hot

713
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 4: dogs for lunch almost every day, which explained my physique.

714
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 2: What were you putting on the hot dogs?

715
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 4: Golden's mustard and sauer kraut. And the way I did

716
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 4: it was I cooked the hot dogs in a dry

717
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 4: pan so I could kind of burn the outside the

718
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 4: skin in the same way you get like a Nathan's

719
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 4: in New York. And then I would throw the the

720
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 4: sour kraut into the pan with the hot dogs to

721
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: then steam them. I put the funds over top of

722
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 4: everything so that the steam from the sour crowd steam

723
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 4: the buns a little bit, and then I go crazy

724
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 4: with the mustard, and from there, you know, I did

725
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 4: morning radio. My first real paying job was in Seattle

726
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,799
Speaker 4: and my partner Kent Voss, this guy I worked with.

727
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 4: We lived together and I was married. I got married

728
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 4: when I was twenty as well, so my wife at

729
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 4: the time had a regular job, so she got home

730
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: from work at five point thirty and Kent and I

731
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 4: got off work at ten am. So oftentimes i'd come home,

732
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 4: i'd make lunch for the two of us, and then

733
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 4: I had, you know, four hours of the day where

734
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 4: I would make lunch, make dinner, and my wife would

735
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 4: come home and we'd have dinner. And I just started

736
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 4: doing it over and over again, and I got interested

737
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 4: in it.

738
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 2: And do you, I mean, are you cooking multiple times

739
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 2: a week?

740
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 4: Oh? Yes, I cook, you know. I cook for the

741
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 4: kids most of their meals, and I cook for my wife. Yeah,

742
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 4: I do. I do almost all the cooking in the house.

743
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: And does this happen after work?

744
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: I don't.

745
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: What is your Your schedule to me is out of control?

746
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 4: Breakfast, dinner, that's there's a lunch, of course we're at

747
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 4: work for. But yeah, I'll usually make breakfast, and sometimes

748
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 4: I sometimes I'll make waffles or pancakes or.

749
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 2: Shaped pancakes that feel good.

750
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 4: Yes, sometimes they get crazy and I'll make like I'll

751
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 4: make like a breakfast taco of some kind. But and

752
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 4: then I'll come home and if my wife is hungry,

753
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 4: I'll make dinner. Otherwise I try not try not to

754
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 4: eat dinner.

755
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 2: Do you have any interest in opening a restaurant or

756
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: anything like that.

757
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 4: Well, I do have, you know, I I have investments

758
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 4: in restaurants and with some of my friends, but not

759
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: you know, that's really hard work. I don't think people

760
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 4: realize how hard restaurant workers. I mean that is you

761
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 4: are on your feet, really working. I think I'm just

762
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 4: too old for that.

763
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, Where do you like to eat in LA.

764
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 4: I like to eat? I'd say the restaurants that I

765
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 4: eat at most are apl which is on Hollywood and Vine,

766
00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 4: which is a barbecue place and steakhouse. And Connie and Ted's,

767
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,640
Speaker 4: which is a seafood place. Wonderful, wonderful cheeseburger on Crescent Heights.

768
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: And they do have a very good cheeseburger. Yeah. I

769
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 4: know that because my daughter will order that, eat none

770
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 4: of it and I eat all the rest of it.

771
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really one of the best in town.

772
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 4: I think the best thing they have, I think is

773
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 4: everything they make is great. But they have a Rhode

774
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 4: Island style clam chowder.

775
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: I've never had clam chowder.

776
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 4: Oh, well, clam chowder if you like clams, I mean

777
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 4: I love clams like Linguinian clams is mit is my

778
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 4: death row meal. But the clam chowder, you know, typically

779
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 4: it's either Manhattan or New England style, so it's either

780
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: that creamy white clam chowder or it's the red brothy.

781
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 4: But this is more of a seafood. It's almost like

782
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 4: it looks like a chicken broth, and give these little

783
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 4: crackers to put in it, and it's got clams and

784
00:37:55,880 --> 00:38:00,720
Speaker 4: they're cooked just beautifully. They're not overcooked and very good.

785
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, my only exposure to clam chowder has been the

786
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,720
Speaker 2: white clam chowder, which I never ate. It just seemed

787
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 2: kind of like a glue consistency with canned clams, which

788
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: it's a hard sell. But I feel like a good

789
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: clam chowder I could probably get into.

790
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 4: I don't know. I want to get the Rhode Island

791
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 4: style clam chowder. Connoting Ted's yeah.

792
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: Okay, well, look I think we should play a game. Okay,

793
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: do you want to play a game called gift or

794
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: a curse or a game called Gift Master.

795
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 4: Gift, a curse, Gift or a curse.

796
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 2: Okay, give me a number between one and ten six. Okay,

797
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 2: I have to do some light calculating, so right now,

798
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: you can promote something, you can recommend something, you can

799
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: sing a song that won't be a copyright issue. You

800
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: can do whatever you want. I'll be right back.

801
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 4: Okay, since we're talking about cooking, I will talk about tortillas,

802
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 4: because tortillas are you know, they're all pretty good. But

803
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 4: they have these tortillas now that most people probably know about.

804
00:38:58,280 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 4: But if you don't, you're going to go crazy and

805
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 4: be so thankful to me for this. They're raw, they're dough,

806
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 4: they're they're I think like a company called Tortilla Land,

807
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 4: and there's some other company that sells them. And you

808
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 4: put them in the frying pan and you cook them

809
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 4: and then you have fresh tortillas. They actually they create

810
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 4: these big like air bubbles like a great pizza, you know,

811
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 4: and then they are a little burn marks on them.

812
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 4: Have you had these?

813
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you were speaking to me on such an

814
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 2: incredible level. I think on this podcast probably multiple times,

815
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 2: I've complained about a factory made tortilla because I think

816
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 2: it's a factory made tortilla is one of the biggest

817
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 2: crimes that's being perpetrated right now. I get these ones

818
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 2: at this place in downtown La called it's called Loki

819
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 2: and they sell you like a dozen for six dollars

820
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: or something, and they're likely half made and so great.

821
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: You heat them up and they taste so much better.

822
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 4: They're par cooked.

823
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: Tried making some tortilla's early pen Park. It's extremely difficult.

824
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 4: Dark. Yes, you know, Clito are leader. You know's been

825
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 4: my friend since I was nine years old. His mom

826
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 4: has tried to teach me how to make tortillas, and

827
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 4: I just I don't know. I can't get it.

828
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 2: They're hard to roll out, They're either too thick or

829
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: too thin. And I ripped Crisco. How do you spill

830
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: lowkey by the way, l o q ui?

831
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 4: I believe?

832
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, very good tacos and then you can buy

833
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: the tortillas. One of the you know, benefits of the

834
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 2: pandemic is these places now selling the things that you

835
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: couldn't buy before, and tortillas are one of them.

836
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 4: Oh nice.

837
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 2: But look, we're gonna play gift or a curse. This

838
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 2: is how it works. I'm gonna name three things, and

839
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 2: you're gonna tell me if there are a gift or

840
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 2: a curse and why. Okay, and I have to be

841
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 2: extremely clear there are correct answers. There are objectively correct answers,

842
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: and so you can lose this game. Okay, so first up,

843
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 2: this is a listener suggestion, gift or a curse demolition derbys,

844
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 2: and that's from let's give some credit to Katie m hm.

845
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to say gift, not because I would

846
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 4: want to go to one, right, but because if someone

847
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 4: tells me they go to demolition derby.

848
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 2: So that's kind of all I need to know. I

849
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: don't have to do any more prying investigator, I don't.

850
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't need to know anything more. I just know

851
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 2: that we're probably not going to hang out. Oh okay, Jimmy,

852
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 2: Well look you got the first one, right. I think

853
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 2: they're absolutely a gift. And this is what I'm going

854
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 2: to say, which may come at some level of surprise.

855
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: I mean, I've probably been to a demolition derby, but

856
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 2: the concept to me wonderful. You get to go to

857
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: a place and watch cars just slam into each other. Sure,

858
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 2: I'm on board with that. It's so the opposite of

859
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: how we behave all the rest of the time. Oh,

860
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 2: you put a ding in my car, give me your

861
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: insurance information, you know, like I gotta buff this out.

862
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 4: I doing everything. Oh, I scratched the side of the

863
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 4: goddamn truck. And you go to this thing and people

864
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 4: are intentionally driving them into each other.

865
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's something very thrilling about it.

866
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 4: I feel like I've now unfairly judged those who go to.

867
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 2: Those Thank you. I think an apology is due to

868
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 2: me and to the rest of the demolition derby audience.

869
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 2: I guess the noise factor. I'm not a big noise person,

870
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 2: so that part. If I could go to a silent

871
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 2: demolition derby, that would really be a key thing for me.

872
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 4: I don't mind the noise, it's the smell the feet.

873
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,280
Speaker 2: Well, how about like a Tesla demolition Derby.

874
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 4: I feel like that would be nice.

875
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: I could put that out in the air somebody, some billionaire.

876
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 4: To go to a preus demolition derby. You know, in fact,

877
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 4: my daughter has a car that could qualify it. It's like,

878
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 4: you know, it's it's a pres I bought her in

879
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 4: high school and she still has if she's thirty, and

880
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 4: we could crash that thing up pretty good.

881
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 2: The Katie Kimmel Demolition Derby. I think that's a great idea. Okay,

882
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: you've got one so far. Number two This may be

883
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,919
Speaker 2: an all listeners suggestion gifter a curse, so this could

884
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 2: be interesting. This is from someone named JAF. I don't

885
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: know what that means. Giftter a curse. Cinnamon toothpaste. Okay,

886
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: first of all, this is Jimmy Fallon who set this in.

887
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 2: I know what Jam's saying. Yeah, cinnimon toothpaste. I'm gonna say,

888
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 2: curse why. I don't think toothpaste should taste like food.

889
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: I think it's confusing to the mouth.

890
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 4: I have my kids have chocolate toothpaste, which is truly vile.

891
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 4: It's like, I don't know, you're you know, you're supposed

892
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 4: to be cleaning that out of there, not putting it in.

893
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 4: And once you start eating that kind of toothpaste, which

894
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 4: you know, I'm a coldgate man myself.

895
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: Oh interesting.

896
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 4: Once you really go for the food based toothpaste, I

897
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 4: don't know that there's any coming.

898
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 2: Back right right look for you know, for a little

899
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 2: bit of tension's sake. I would love to say that

900
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: you're wrong here, but I'm also I feel like cinnamon

901
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 2: toothpaste sounds so terrible. Also, don't I don't need the

902
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: toothpaste encouraging me to swallow it should be encouraging you

903
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 2: to spit out.

904
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I exactly.

905
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 2: I mean we have a whole trend of things going

906
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 2: on where things taste like other things, you know, yogurt

907
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 2: tasting like a peanut butter sandwich. Let's just have let's

908
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,280
Speaker 2: keep everything in its separate category, is what I'm thinking.

909
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 4: I agree, But I will say that cinnamon toothpicks I

910
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 4: am very interesting.

911
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like a mint or a cinnamon toothpick. I

912
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 2: like a toothpick in general. To be honest, me too.

913
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 4: I like the guys who carry him around, you know,

914
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 4: like you know, the guys that carry flavored toothpicks around

915
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 4: or like always like, even if they're not your uncle,

916
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 4: you feel like they are.

917
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 2: That guy is always a pervert. That's just a sign

918
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: of a true pervert. I mean, as one of the

919
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 2: least cool people on the planet, I still with a

920
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: toothpick in my mouth. It elevates you a little bit.

921
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: You feel kind of like a tough guy for a minute.

922
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 2: And there's somewhere.

923
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 4: Between the tough guy and Huckleberry Finn right right.

924
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: If you get a cinnamon there, that's just a bonus. Okay,

925
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: you're doing very well. I hope you know, no one.

926
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: I don't know that anyone's ever won this game. So

927
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 2: let's let's see what happens here. A final one. This

928
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 2: is from a listener named Aaron. This is a gift

929
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 2: or a curse Frozen grapes as quote unquote healthy candy.

930
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 4: No, that's a curse. Yeah, that's just sad. I mean

931
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 4: that's you know, that's where you've hit rock bottom when

932
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 4: you're you're going through your Weight Watchers cards and you know,

933
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: that's where you're like, you're getting some like sugar free

934
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 4: ice cream and pouring diet strawberry soda over top of it.

935
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 4: And I mean it's really deserved. It's just like it's

936
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 4: something it's like a It's like something my ant Frand

937
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 4: would have done in like nineteen eighty one.

938
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: Jimmy, what a wonderful little defense you've come up with here.

939
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, I think that despite the fact that I've

940
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 2: never had one, a frozen grape as a healthy candy

941
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: is absolutely a gift. I mean, what are we even

942
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 2: talking about. You're getting a nice little piece of fruit.

943
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 2: I imagine it's cold. You know, more than five people I

944
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: know have tried them, so there must be something happening there.

945
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 4: And yeah, tried them is the key word though, right,

946
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 4: It's not like a lifestyle, it's something you go, eh, yeah,

947
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 4: I tried it. I think about think about getting on

948
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 4: like a Mexican airline. Okay, you know that the little

949
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 4: fruit salad that comes with it.

950
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: Yeah.

951
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 4: Yeah. There's always grapes that have been previously frozen, and

952
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 4: there's nothing good about them. And to me, when I

953
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 4: think of frozen grapes, I'm comparing them to grapes, which

954
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 4: are which I am very in favor of. I mean,

955
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 4: grapes are delicious, a nice cold grape, but once it reaches,

956
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 4: once it gets grows beneath that temperature which it freezes,

957
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 4: I'm not in favor.

958
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,720
Speaker 2: There is a worry there for me texturally. But that said,

959
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 2: just to keep things balanced on this game, I'm just

960
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: going to not let you win. I feel like I had.

961
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,800
Speaker 4: To get all three. I put to of three wins.

962
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:10,799
Speaker 2: No, two out of three does not win. Two out

963
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 2: of three is a sixty six percent. And I mean,

964
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 2: you're round. This is not a show that rounds. You

965
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 2: do not round up on I said, no gifts, but

966
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 2: very good job. Anyway, let's answer this is called I

967
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,840
Speaker 2: said no questions. People are writing into I said no

968
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 2: gifts at gmail dot com. They're desperate for answers. Would

969
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: you help me answer a question?

970
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 4: Sure?

971
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 2: Okay, this says let's see here. This is got a

972
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,280
Speaker 2: good start. Hello. My father's wife is a terrible woman.

973
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 2: She truly dislikes my siblings and I. Passive aggressor should

974
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 2: be her middle name. Okay, one year she gave us

975
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 2: the movie Pay It Forward on VHS. That's an interesting detail.

976
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 2: Please know that there is more than enough money for

977
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 2: my father and her to want for nothing. Okay, so

978
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: we're dealing with a wealthy woman. Now, as an adult,

979
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 2: I get to keep my distance from these toxic people,

980
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: and I've let go of trying so hard to be

981
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: the bigger person. My question is, what do you give

982
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 2: a garbage person of a stepmother and father that basically

983
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 2: acts like a distant uncle. Sincerely, Jade. Now this is

984
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 2: interesting because it just seems like Jade despises these stupieople just.

985
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 4: Want to get something off his chest or her chest.

986
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

987
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 4: Yes, there's not even like indicate what holiday it is?

988
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 4: I mean, was is it a birthday? Is it Christmas?

989
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 4: Is an anniversary? What are we talking about here?

990
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 2: I feel like Jade knows that the stepmom and dad

991
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: listened to this podcast and just wanted it to be

992
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 2: out there for them to hear how much he or

993
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 2: she hates them.

994
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 4: I will say I'm glad. I think it's healthy that

995
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 4: Jade didn't limit the blame to the stepmother, because I

996
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,240
Speaker 4: am always of the opinion that if you marry someone

997
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 4: who treats your children badly, your children obviously from a

998
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 4: previous marriage, that that reflects on you more than it

999
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 4: does on the person who comes into the family.

1000
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're there to protect the kids.

1001
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're your children. You should be closer to them

1002
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 4: than you are to your spouse.

1003
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: Right, I mean it's just a tragic situation. I mean

1004
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: the fact that this person's writing in this podcast. All

1005
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 2: that said, what do you get a gift for someone

1006
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 2: that you don't like?

1007
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 4: Pay it Forward on VHS?

1008
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 2: I guess, how about upgrade to laser disc? I feel like,

1009
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 2: pay it Forward on laser disc or a poster?

1010
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 4: What year did pay It Forward come out?

1011
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 2: Pay It Forward to me feels like a two thousand

1012
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 2: and two movie.

1013
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so in two thousand and two there were no

1014
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 4: VHS tape.

1015
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 2: That was like the last breadth of VHS was probably

1016
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:46,719
Speaker 2: two thousand and one.

1017
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 4: Okay, it came out October twentieth, two thousand.

1018
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm two years off. I lose the.

1019
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 4: Game, so yes, and so it is available on VHS.

1020
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 4: So this is not a lie that this person made up.

1021
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 4: But I'm in two thousand, no one had VHS players.

1022
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 4: In fact, we were moving away from DVDs at that

1023
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 4: point into the Blu ray world, right.

1024
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: I think that was two thousand to me is like

1025
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 2: did you get the Matrix on DVD? I think that

1026
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 2: was the big exciting thing to say around that period.

1027
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 2: So I think that we were just headed into DVD territory.

1028
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 2: So VHS was not an exciting gift to get at

1029
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,239
Speaker 2: that point. It was something you would buy used at

1030
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 2: a blockbuster.

1031
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, it was definitely not a new item,

1032
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 4: and if it was, it was in the discount beIN. Yeah,

1033
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 4: ninety seven, DVDs really came out.

1034
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: So this is well into the death of the VHS.

1035
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 2: The stepmother, and also I feel like giving somebody pay

1036
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 2: it forward as a gift is kind of a It

1037
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 2: is a passive aggressive move saying I mean the concept.

1038
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 4: I think.

1039
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 2: I remember if the movie is I mean literally the

1040
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 2: title you do nice things.

1041
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 4: For people, I think, yeah, somebody does something nice for

1042
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:54,759
Speaker 4: you and then you have to go and do something

1043
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,479
Speaker 4: nice for someone else. So maybe the gift is two

1044
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,240
Speaker 4: third party who's not in You can say, hey, listen,

1045
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 4: I watch that movie Paid Forward. You gave me thanks

1046
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:07,080
Speaker 4: again for that. That was wonderful. What I did is

1047
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 4: I bought a VHS of Easy Money and I gave

1048
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 4: it to some asshole in my apartment complex.

1049
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 2: I mean, Jade has just I mean, I feel like,

1050
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,479
Speaker 2: you know, usually I'm ready to recommend things. I feel

1051
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 2: like the gift Jade gives Stepmom and Dad is lose

1052
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: their number. I think it's just time to cut them

1053
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: off completely.

1054
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well it sounds like she already has.

1055
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: Or maybe this, you know, this is rock bottom for

1056
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 2: their relationship and this brings them back together. Maybe she's

1057
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 2: she hears her words echoed back to her and calls

1058
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,960
Speaker 2: them up and they watch finally get together and watch

1059
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 2: Pay It Forward.

1060
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 4: Or maybe she really wants to fuck with her give

1061
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 4: her a great gift that will blow her mind and

1062
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 4: confuse her to no end, you know, like a really

1063
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 4: beautiful bracelet or something like that, and she's just like,

1064
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: what the what I must have misjudged this stepdaughter completely.

1065
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 2: If there's ever been an opportunity for these to give

1066
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,400
Speaker 2: a gift or to give a car with a giant

1067
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 2: bow on top, I think this is.

1068
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 4: The this is the time.

1069
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the you know, the Lexus sales event of

1070
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 2: the season or whatever. Go buy it, put a giant.

1071
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 4: Bow on top. My cousin Ivy did that to my

1072
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 4: daughter Katie when she turned like seventeen. She'd rented a

1073
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 4: car she was in an accident, or rented like a

1074
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 4: truck or something. And then it was Katie's birthday party

1075
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 4: and she pulled up into the driveway in this truck,

1076
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 4: and then she decided to be funny to go in

1077
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 4: the house and say like, hey, Katie, look, look, And

1078
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 4: Katie was very excited and then realized that it was

1079
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 4: not her car. And I don't think Katie's ever forgiven him.

1080
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 2: I don't blame her at all. That's so mean. Oh

1081
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 2: that's heartbreaking.

1082
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's bad.

1083
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,600
