00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,400
Speaker 1: Uh, are you ready, Scotti?

Speaker 2: Yeah, I am ready. As a matter of fact, I'm

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,200
Speaker 2: ready to laugh, and I'm ready to laugh and then

4
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: I want to laugh.

5
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: Okay, here it is. Then American dad wakes up speaking

00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: fluent Spanish after every surgery.

7

Speaker 2: to get out and see other parts of the world,

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: I think she might be a three timer here on Bananas.

28
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: I think she was on the first or second episode

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: of Bananas. She was on the second episode of Bananas.

30
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: She just wrote for the Golden Globe Awards. Nailed it

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: so fucking funny. She's written on I Love that for you,

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: American auto hit, Monkey Shining Veil, the Tonight Show leson

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: demand Neon, Joe warewolf Hunter, and she is the writer

34
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: of the upcoming Fantastic The Muppet Show. Please welcome Albertina Rizzo.

35
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, thank you.

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 3: Some of those credits I don't even remember. Thank you

37
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: so much for listening.

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: That's a good side. That means it was a real

39
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: That means it was a quality program. And when you

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 2: don't even remember that you wrote on it and it came.

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: And went, it has nothing to do with a program.

42
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: I think it has a lot to do with the

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 3: last five years.

44
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: That's true. I had writer of The Muppet Show. Yes, incredible, congratulations.

45
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: Now it's a dream come true, just as I imagined

46
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 4: when I was five. No, it's it's so lovely and

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: it's like crazy to actually work on something that is

48
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 4: optimistic and not cynical.

49
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the world.

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: I sort of have a question about it. Do they

51
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: wear anything on their hands when their hand is inside

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 2: the uppet or the muppet, like, do they have a

53
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: glove on? Or are they going bare handed up in kermit?

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting. I didn't look that closely. I

55
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: know that it is. They're definitely up there, but they're

56
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: not I don't I don't remember.

57
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: I know that they wear you know, this like.

58
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 4: Head piece that has a microphone, but outside of that,

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 4: I don't remember if they have gloves.

60
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: And it's been a mystery for me for forty years,

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: and it'll just me.

62
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: They want to keep it a mistake.

63
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: It will continue to be a mystery.

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't want to break the illusion.

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Is there any area that you would walk through where

66
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: all of the Muppets were kind of like hung up

67
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: for the night and it was just like a creepy

68
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: a graveyard you know.

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 4: No, not really, because they so the Muppets are sort

70
00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: of transported in in these like you know boxes that

71
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: are like temperature controlled and all this stuff.

72
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: Very rarely do.

73
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: You get to see them not animated animated, And I

74
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 4: think that is by design, because you know, what's crazy

75
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 4: is that when you know I, you know, we've been

76
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: in production, we've been writing, We've been like I've seen

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: some of them uppets, you know, sort.

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 3: Of you know, not animated, but not like just laying around.

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: They don't just toss them on the barrel.

80
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 4: But I've seen I've seen some Muppets like sort of

81
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: on their way to be animated, so sort of still

82
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: kind of.

83
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 3: In position. And what's crazy is that.

84
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: I've been talking to uh, the person who does the

85
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 4: voice of Kermit, Matt and you know, I see him

86
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: every day because he was in the production offices and

87
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 4: they were writing their own things and like all the stuff.

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: And the crazy thing is that when we went to where.

89
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 4: The Muppets are all stored and he put on Kermit

90
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 4: and he talked to me, I.

91
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: Burst into tears.

92
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 4: Because there's a weird thing that happens. And I asked him,

93
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 4: I was like, does that happen all the time to you?

94
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: And he goes every single person like grown men, children,

95
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 4: you know, like it's truly like there's a disc there's

96
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 4: something that happens where your brain can't register that Kermit

97
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: is talking to you, even though he's.

98
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: Attached to a you know, a man.

99
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, and you.

100
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 4: Just can't like disconnect you like, you can't. It's your

101
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 4: brain breaks because you would hear one of them say

102
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 4: your name, you're kind of like, what is this?

103
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 2: This is great? So great?

104
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: That is so cool. It is so interesting that there's

105
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: so many things about our kind of like ape brain

106
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: that suck like constant anxiety for no reason, but this

107
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: one is one of the magical ones that we held

108
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: onto that anytime you see a hand talk, you're like,

109
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: it's a love.

110
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 4: Well, it's really going to kind of like speak to

111
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 4: what I've always felt, which is like we're just dogs

112
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: with clothes on, because ultimately, like you know, there was

113
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 4: like these TikTok videos of people like doing this saying

114
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 4: where like they put a sheet over themselves and then

115
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 4: like run away and then the dog would be like

116
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 4: and drop the sheet and the dog would be.

117
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, my owner just disappeared.

118
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

119
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 3: I feel like that's our version of that, you know

120
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: what I mean.

121
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, which is you can easily trick us because we're

122
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: ultimately just dumb dogs with clothes on.

123
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: I feel also very funny that that's also a recurring

124
00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: tonight show bit what yeah, he does it? The elevator

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: door is open and he's holding up a thing, and

126
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: then someone appears behind it and everybody claps on the elevator.

127
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: Just if it worked for dogs, it warms on that show.

128
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 3: Why not?

129
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's so exciting.

130
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: So they're also your last name is Rizzo? And then

131
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: the arguably the funniest character on the Muppets is Rizzo,

132
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: the rat from New Jersey who famously has twelve hundred

133
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters. I think he says on the Christmas special,

134
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: do you have a lot.

135
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: Of much like a lot of Italians? I would say.

136
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: I was talking to a friend of mine about like

137
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: how Italian is a dying You know, my dad was Italian,

138
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: my mom was from Morgantino, but like I very you know,

139
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: like I talk a lot about my Italians. And we

140
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: were talking about and I'll bring it back to Rizzo.

141
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: Don't worry, it's I don't care, do whatever you want.

142
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: But we were talking about, like, oh, Italian's a dying language.

143
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: I was like, no, they're everywhere. There's just Italians everywhere.

144
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: It's much like and I'm not comparing Italians to rats.

145
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 4: Let's just like get that on the record. I'm just

146
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 4: saying we have multiplied fun So, just like Italians in

147
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 4: New York and everywhere else, there's a lot of Rizzo's

148
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 4: relatives on that show, and they're the fun They're so funny,

149
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 4: they're the they are such like the character Rizzo is

150
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: kind of perfect because it's got an attitude, but it's

151
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: also operating on very high anxiety.

152
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: And I relate to the New Muppet Show.

153
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: I can't confirm, and when does.

154
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: It come out?

155
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:45,079

160
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 4: can't really speak to.

161
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: What goes on on the show because that's my surprise.

162
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 3: But I did meet Rizzo.

163
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 4: I met a lot of the characters that, like, you know,

164
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 4: whether they're going to be on the show or not,

165
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 4: I've met them and it's really interesting how like.

166
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: It's it's just wild.

167
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: It.

168
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: I don't think i've fully processed it, if I'm being honest.

169
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, so are you completely done with post and everything?

170
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: Everything's sealed and done.

171
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 4: We're doing a bunch of press next week with Kermit

172
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 4: and Piggy okay fun. So it's not done. It's not

173
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,479
Speaker 4: done until it airs.

174
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: Okay cool, and it's just a single one off or

175
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: will there be or is you can't even speak to that.

176
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: The hope is that we get more. It was supposed

177
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 4: to be like a kind of soft launch we're selling

178
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: where we're speaking to it as an event because it's

179
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 4: up to the people at Disney. And I think Seth

180
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 4: would agree with that that that he is phrasing it

181
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 4: that way, and I'm phrasing it that way.

182
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: I do think like.

183
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 4: The world is so rotted right now that if there

184
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 4: was ever a time to have a very sort of

185
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 4: optimistic show about you know, uh, delightful, imperfect characters like this,

186
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 4: it would.

187
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: Be right now.

188
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: I mean right, I mean time the origin like when

189
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: the Muppets were the most popular, it was during the

190
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Vietnam War, right.

191
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: Yes, it's crazy because there are a lot of parallels

192
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 4: to one miss. There was a lot of turmoil going

193
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 4: on in the country, and I think they came out

194
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 4: of mistrust in the government wars yep, uh, just you

195
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: know a lot of corruption. So I'm not saying it's

196
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: it's interesting that now is the time where a lot

197
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 4: of people seem to have an interest in having it

198
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 4: back when you know, the parallels are pretty striking. But

199
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: you know, it's it's interesting because it's also like it's

200
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 4: a variety show, right, and and and we we very

201
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 4: early on, Like I remember talking to Seth and saying

202
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 4: to him that one of the things that we wanted

203
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: to make sure of is that the show reads like

204
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 4: a adult variety show that kids can also watch, because

205
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 4: you know, I don't have kids, but I also feel

206
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: like I know enough to know that kids don't want

207
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 4: to be pandered to.

208
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: So it's like a.

209
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: Crazy it's a weird needle to thread when you're trying

210
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: to make something so absolutely silly and goofy and appeal

211
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 4: to adults who are automatically like ready to sort of

212
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 4: they've seen.

213
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 2: It all, Judge.

214
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and and I and I do.

215
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 4: I'm really proud of it because I do feel like

216
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 4: it doesn't.

217
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: Feel baby at all.

218
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: It just feels like like you're watching a variety show,

219
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 4: except it's a frog.

220
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: That's great. I love so much.

221
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: I can't I'm really excited for it.

222
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 4: And I hope you guys like it and it's it's

223
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: it is a true labor of love.

224
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, I'm.

225
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 4: Really proud of it, especially now where all we're looking

226
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 4: at is bad things constantly.

227
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, just.

228
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 4: Like it's like an endless stream of terrible garbage.

229
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we're fighting back and Kurt do, it's a story.

230
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,080

Speaker 1: American dad wakes up speaking fluent Spanish after every single surgery.

233
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: So that we've done stories about people waking up from

234
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: comas from surgery speaking different languages, and usually they're stuck

235
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: that way. This just published on January fifteen, twenty twenty six.

236
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: We've never done a story about someone who happens every

237
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: single time. This is on the dexerdo dot com. Oh

00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's hard to even determine how often I'm

241
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: not checking it because I just got a little screen

242
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: grafted onto my left eye so that every time I blink,

Speaker 1: Connor Bennett, who wrote this.

248
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: Wrote best in the Business. Love his writing here.

249
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: It is going in for surgery can be pretty scary,

250
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: even if it's a routine operation. There can be tons

251
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: of some boy, we're explaining surgery.

252
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: Here we go.

253
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah.

254
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: What's to be sorry, Like, you know when they tell

255
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 4: you the like the ingredients don't come until like forty

256
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 4: million uh personal stories.

257
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: Sorry say It's the only downside of doing bananas is

258
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: Kurt and I have read more strange news stories, which

259
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: which is incredible, but the ones that don't get to

260
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: the strange news part and just just explain that we

261
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: breathe are on earth and there's an atmosphere and you go,

262
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: we know, we got there.

263
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 3: Miscovered the bit that I need to know about it.

264
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Nobody clicked on this to be like what is surgery?

265
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: How do.

266
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: How do people wake up from surgery?

267
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: It's like the recipe thing. The recipe thing.

268
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 4: Is that you want to take an apple pie and

269
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 4: then the woman tells you about her trip to an orchard.

270
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, my grandmother no hands when she was born, and

271
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: yet she rolled the bad And you're like, yeah.

272
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: We know, so do you know do you know why

273
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: that is? Like there is a distinct reason because Google

274
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: won't index it if it doesn't have that story ahead

275
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: of it. So that's just so that you can find it,

276
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: Isn't that the wee like why it's so weird that

277
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: they like just made that decision in the algorithm that

278
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: if it doesn't have a little story before it, it

279
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: won't index it, so you won't be able to find it. Like, no,

280
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: it's just unsearchable, isn't that?

281
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 4: So if you're looking for apple apples and you search apples,

282
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,119
Speaker 4: it has to have a long story about something else.

283
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: In order to well, there's no there's no recipe for

284
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: just apples, right, but if you're searching apple pie, yeah.

285
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 3: Maybe where you're looking.

286
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: Uh huh, yes, yeah, yeah, Okay, here we go. In

287
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: the case of Stephen case, come on, it's right there,

288
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: it's staring in the face. There's no joke there. Okay.

289
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: A father from Utah. He wakes up from surgeries speaking

290
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: Spanish for a little bit, and he's one of around

291
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: one hundred confirmed cases of this. That's right. Every time

292
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: Chase goes under the knife for a surgery, he wakes

293
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: up speaking Spanish, just repeating. Ever since I was nineteen,

294
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: I have woken up from surgery speaking Spanish. Every time.

295
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: The nurses say they asked me questions like how are

296
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: you feeling? And am I in pain? After waking up,

297
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: I answer the questions in Spanish. The father of three

298
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: noted that he spoke Spanish as a low level in

299
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: high school, but that was years ago. Now he's become

300
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: fluent at a native level. He noticed at the high

301
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: level he frequently heard the language around me.

302
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: While growing up.

303
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time at my best friend's

304
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: house and his parents were always speaking Spanish. I never

305
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: knew what anyone was saying, but I heard it all

306
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: the time. Chase added, weird. As per lad Bible, that's

307
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: when you know you're getting a good news source. Yeah,

308
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: when the original sources lad Bible. Chase has foreign language syndrome,

309
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: which sees people switch to another language or accent for

310
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: a period of time. This could be minutes or hours.

311
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: For Chase, it typically subsides within an hour. It's brought

312
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: on by a number of factors, including brain injury, psychological

313
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: stressor after waking up from surgery. Now I tell people

314
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: that I tend to wake up speaking Spanish, so they're prepared.

315
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 4: He add, what, so my question is is he getting

316
00:16:58,840 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: elective surgeries?

317
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: Question?

318
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're always getting operated on.

319
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's like, we get rid of these tonsils, right, doc?

320
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: Can you put my appendix back in? Interesting? The accents

321
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 2: thing is funny because we've done that too. It's to

322
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: speak another language and new wakeup is incredible, that's fantastic,

323
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: really amazing. Your then suddenly you're bilingual. But to just

324
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 2: have an accent is so weird. You suddenly just start

325
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 2: speaking English with a French accent. That is. I read

326
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: Keith Richards's biography and he says that Mick Jagger compulsively

327
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: takes on the accent of whoever he's talking to. So

328
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: if he's talking to a Jamaican, Mick Jagger starts talking

329
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: in a Jamaican accent. If he's talking to a Latino guy,

330
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: if he starts.

331
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: Speaking with that's a monster sign.

332
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: But he does it without knowing he's doing it. So

333
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: if he's in a converse, and also he's a brit

334
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: so he has British accent, so when he speaks for America,

335
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 2: it goes America. Imagine if he's in a circle of people,

336
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 2: let's say at the Grammys and it's World Artists, is

337
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: he just switching between accents. It's a really weird compulsion.

338
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 3: Robin Williams.

339
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yes, No, I mean.

340
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 4: I mean I think like sometimes, Well, I love that

341
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 4: he had he figured out a link, because usually all

342
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 4: you get after surgery is depression, evidently or something like that.

343
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 4: So that's a nice little take.

344
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: Away from Little Bump.

345
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: But I will say that, like, if you travel somewhere

346
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 4: like I remember when I went to France and I

347
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: was there for like a week, I started having an

348
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: intonation in that, like I thought that it spoke English

349
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 4: with the same kind of intonation that they would understand

350
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: me more.

351
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

352
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, And do I sound like an asshole? Yes, of course,

353
00:18:58,400 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 4: uh pretentious.

354
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 2: If you're there, it's okay. If you're in the country,

355
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 2: it's fine to try to do your best to blend

356
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: and to bring it back. That's when there's a problem.

357
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: Bringing it back is a problem, yeah, exactly. Or but

358
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: also if it starts happening like sooner than a week,

359
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: like a week, I can completely understand. But like when

360
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: you're talking to someone for like a couple minutes, that's

361
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: that's looney tunes. Yeah yeah, I haven't. What's the last

362
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: time you had surgery?

363
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,360
Speaker 3: Last time you talk about it like that's like a thing.

364
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 2: I had my wisdom teeth out in twenty twenty two.

365
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two. But you also, I mean, like, when's

366
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: the last time you went under?

367
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: You went under for they put me under for that

368
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: more recently. Oh yeah. And then right before I went under,

369
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: they were counting me down for the twilight and everybody's

370
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 2: phones went off, and I said cute but alert, And

371
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: then woke up and two nurses were looking at me

372
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 2: and laughing, and my nurse said, did you really say that?

373
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: And she said, we're cracking up. And it was a

374
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: flood warning because it was raining, and but everybody's phone

375
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: all around me goes good, good good, and I'm three

376
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: two out and I said, cute butt alert. And then

377
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 2: when I woke.

378
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: Up, because you're on your side, right, you're already on

379
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: your side.

380
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: Oh there. I was prepped and ready to go. They

381
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: were ready to take a deep dive into my personality.

382
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 2: But Yeah, I woke up to cookies and apple juice

383
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: and the nurse laughing so hard that I said that,

384
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: and I was like, what was that flood alert?

385
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 3: And then you woke up talking like Kevin Spacey in

386
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: the House of Cards.

387
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 2: Yes, such as direct a.

388
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: Camera like fog Horn Leghorn.

389
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes you do things you're going to rent.

390
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 4: But it's not like, do they have an explain because

391
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 4: I know that some people like also have like an

392
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 4: identity crisis after like sometimes they can have like a

393
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 4: misidentify themselves as somebody else, And I don't know, like

394
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 4: it's a weird thing. Is it the anesthesia they're saying

395
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 4: that does it?

396
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 2: It must open part.

397
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it must be the anesthesia. That's what I'm assuming

398
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: that it like just kicks some part of the amigdala

399
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: into action that usually is dormant.

400
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 4: So I wonder when our pets go under if they

401
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 4: come back with accent.

402
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 2: Right question, a wolf, good boy. That's a great question.

403
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: And that's why you're the head writer of the Muppet Show.

404
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: Talking animals is a specialty.

405
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,919

Speaker 4: raw uh you know, like places where like should people

Speaker 2: written by the best in the biz, Anna Maderas. She's

443
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: really good. I swam twenty nine miles around Manhattan and handcuffs.

444
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 2: I had no idea the danger I was in until

445
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: I finished. Wait, what so a guy swam around Manhattan

446
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: wearing handcuffs? Okay, hard to do. So here we go.

447
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: So his hands are in front of him, I guess,

448
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: and he's just paddling, like pushing down.

449
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: Yep, that's right. He's not under arrest, but he could

450
00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: sure use a rest. In September is ad post posted

451
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 2: on This is New York Posts.

00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, media missed in the biz.

454
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: Wait, so how did he not drown?

455
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: He's tough New Yorker Michael Moreau. We're talking about Mike Moreau.

456
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: Here jumped off the southern tip of Manhattan, didn't Merge

457
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: until he had swum up the East River, through the

458
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: Harlem and down Hudson to complete the famed and formidable

459
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: twenty eight point five mile loop. The Kicker, the flutter Kicker,

460
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: did it all while wearing handcuffs, and it took a

461
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: little under ten hours. Jess Moreau's felony flavored feet and

462
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 2: earned him two Guinness World records, one for completing the

463
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: longest open water swim and handcuffs, and one for becoming

464
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 2: the first swimmer to circumnavigate the city's waterways in Jackles.

465
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: So kind of the same thing as what we're saying. Yeah,

466
00:24:55,600 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 2: so was he under a like he trained for.

467
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: This just to be just to beat a world record.

468
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: Just because he's so bored.

469
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah what if I did it just holding like one

470
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: chicken wing above my head the whole time? I could

471
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: get a world record and make it after with a

472
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: seagulls trained with a word. Oh yeah, you'd have to

473
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: really keep seagulls away from you the whole time.

474
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 2: This is why I do love this article. Why why

475
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: do anything? Capri dia tis moro di ts moro, said

476
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 2: a fellow marathon swimmer. Why why do anything?

477
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 3: Uh?

478
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: She is a fellow is why do anything.

479
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 3: That's the Redmond Hillary.

480
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: Right there is Capri Dia TuS Moreau, fellow marathon swimmer

481
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: and member of the Moreas Oh. A member of Moro's

482
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 2: support crew, said she conquered the same twenty bridges swim

483
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: around Manhattan, albeit with the luxury of all her limbs

484
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: on her sixty third birthday. Blah blah blah. After I swim,

485
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 2: I'm as high as a kite. Capri said she's co

486
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 2: founder of the Coney Island right in beach open water swimmers. Boy,

487
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: that sounds smelly, I think.

488
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I've heard of those people and Brighton Beach swimmers.

489
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 3: They're they're fairly famous. They're the polar Bear people.

490
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: They're the polar Bear people.

491
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: Moreau's motivation and that's mote dash evation. Guys. It's the

492
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: New York Post. After all. Baby wasn't kink insane. It

493
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: was a nautical It was part nautical nature, part unfinished business,

494
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 2: part desire to probe the outer edges of Merman mastery. Yes, yeah,

495
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 2: we're just going forward. When I started hearing all these

496
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: stories about people who had not given up on the

497
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: opportunity to test their own limits. I thought, why can't

498
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: I do this thing? That was the beginning of my

499
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: journey of trying to figure out how I was going

500
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 2: to realize my full potential, he said, And I knew

501
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 2: I needed to do it in the water. Okay, okay,

502
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: So here's we're getting a little origin story coming up here.

503
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: Moreau made waves as a high school and college swimmer,

504
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: winning national championship and setting at least one record that

505
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 2: still stands today, but he eventually hung up his goggles

506
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: and didn't pick him up for the better part of

507
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: twenty years. Then, in his mid forties, the water called

508
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: freestyle phenoms like Diane and nad and Ross Edgeley, who

509
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: we just talked about on a different app. Kurt, He's

510
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 2: the one that swam around Iceland, seeped into a social feed.

511
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: He couldn't shake the feeling there was more in his tank,

512
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: the challenge setting a goal that didn't feel like a

513
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 2: victory lap of his youth. Okay, I'm gonna jump a

514
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: little bit because this is a long one. I thought,

515
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 2: this is uncharted territory for me. This is something I

516
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: feel like I need to pursue, and I kind of

517
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: went full force. He hired a coach. He put his

518
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 2: social life on ice. He sets his life on the

519
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 2: treacher's choppy marine life laid in open water contests. So

520
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: first he swam Hawaii's Molokai Channel, which is forty two

521
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 2: kilometer ocean course that only one hundred finishers have ever

522
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: finished today. Wow, okay, this guy is not afraid of sharks.

523
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 2: I am afraid of sharks. I would be so afraid

524
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 2: swimming between Hawaiian islands or around a Hawaiian island. I'd

525
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: be like, there's a tiger shark that's going to bite

526
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: me in half at any moment. It is.

527
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: The thing is, when you're doing open ocean swimming, you're

528
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 1: just staring down when you're not breathing, and it's just

529
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: staring down into an abyss, even if it's only like

530
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: nine feet far on the East coast, it's just staring

531
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: down into like nothing. And it is even me who

532
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: surfs and goes in the ocean all the time, no

533
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: fear of sharks. It is an eerie feeling because there's

534
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: you're just constantly looking at the emptiness below you.

535
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, to me, the ocean is space and I

536
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 4: don't want to go to space.

537
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: So me neither.

538
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 3: I have no interest in what's at the bottom of

539
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 3: the ocean.

540
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: Me too. Space we would be we would live in space.

541
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 2: If we're supposed to be in space. We're here. We're

542
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: doing great. Yeah, I'm getting Whopper Junior with cheese right now.

543
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 4: I have no interest in what's underwater. I won't even

544
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 4: and I'll barely snorkele. Yeah that's how little I care about.

545
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm feeling you. So basically, he did all these

546
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 2: challenges and he was still thirsty for more, and he thought,

547
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: I wonder if there's something a little bit more off

548
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: the beaten path, a little bit more controversial. There it

549
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 2: was handcuffs. The jailbird jangles had restricted Egyptian pro swimmer

550
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 2: Shahab Alam's wrist in twenty twenty two. His record eleven

551
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: point six kilometers was the distance to beat. So somebody

552
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 2: else had already done this, and so he just decided

553
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: to do it. I'm going to jump ahead because again,

554
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: this is going to go on for it is this article?

555
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: Why is The New York Post writing a three thousand

556
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: word story.

557
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 3: I'm skipping chunks tracks for the Post.

558
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 4: And by the way, we don't speak on it. But

559
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 4: like the post has just it's talk about it. Throw

560
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: shit at the wall publication.

561
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I love it.

562
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: They dedicate so much to this, but none to the

563
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: Epstein five Yeah track.

564
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: The best way to crack this challenge, he deduced, was

565
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: to lean on his historically strong breaststroke, kick smart, and

566
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: the best stage on which attempted his logic later went

567
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: was the best city in the world. So he beat

568
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 2: Alam's record. He returned to Hawaii, wore handcuffs, beat it

569
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: in May twenty twenty five. But he was like, if

570
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: I can pull this off, this will be the defining

571
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: moment of my open water career, which is something we

572
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 2: all wake up in the middle night thinking. Okay. He

573
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 2: moved apartments to access to twenty five yard twenty four

574
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 2: hour pool. He trained in rough conditions off Coney Island,

575
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 2: fueled by liquid carb stash and a buoy that he

576
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 2: pulled behind him.

577
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: I need more details about this, yes, so he don't.

578
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: I need less.

579
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: I need less. On the morning of September ninth, Moreau

580
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: locked in and jumped in his crew. His sister at

581
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: boat captain, a kayaker, and a Guinness World Record officiator

582
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: all coasted along his side.

583
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: I thought his sister was all those things. No, I

584
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: was like, that's amazing. His sister is a boat captain,

585
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: a kayaker and ANESS record officient.

586
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 2: Yes, So basically, the guy swam around Manhattan. He beat

587
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: it in under ten hours. Most he swam under the

588
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: twenty bridges. Blah blah blahh Yeah, I mean he did

589
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 2: something truly impossible.

590
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 3: I know.

591
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: But you could also do it with like a like

592
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 4: like a clown nose on or something and break away.

593
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: Right, you could do anything. Let's see. Okay, I'll just

594
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 2: finish it with the last sentence because it is kind

595
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: of funny looking back. The triumph left Moreau with more

596
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: than two Guinness World Records plaques and one case of cellulitis,

597
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: a pain a painful but treatable bacteria infection in both legs. Whoa,

598
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: it's not the cleanest three rivers you could swim in.

599
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: Oh that's too bad. I really thought it was getting cleaner.

600
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: Does they keep having? Remember at least when I was

601
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: leaving thirteen years ago, there was like rumor that they

602
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: were going to bring back having water pools on the

603
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: Hudson because they used to have that. They used to

604
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: have pools on the Hudson that they like the actual

605
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: river water would kind of like come in, they would

606
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: fill it up and you could swim in it, and

607
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: then they would dump it out and refill it the

608
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: next day. But I guess that never happened.

609
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: Uh Moreau finishes it by saying, quote, this is really

610
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: a testament that there's no limit to how big you

611
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: can dream. You should never stop doing that. What a guy.

612
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: What a guy to be able to take off so

613
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 2: much time in his life and just focus on doing

614
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: the stupidest thing imaginable coated?

615
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: I think I think they tried. Did they not just

616
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 3: clean up like the River Thames or like some.

617
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: The said for the Paris Olympics.

618
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: The Paralympics so they could swim in it? Yese it like?

619
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: And then and the French were committed to dumping their

620
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: ship into it. People were shipping in the in the

621
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: sin to protest him trying to do that. Did you

622
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: hear about that? It was like everybody on at one

623
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: specific time should throw a bag of your own ship

624
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: into the river. We did a story.

625
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah we did it on bananas. Yeah, we did that story.

626
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,560

00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 2: in the day before smartphones, I had a notebook of

695
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: all my ideas, and I had just amped my Brooklyn address,

696
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 2: and I lost it on vacation I think in Costa Rica,

697
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,160

701
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: you know, movie ideas all that stuff, and I was like, fuck, okay,

702
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: I guess that's all gone. And then weeks later it

703
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 2: showed up crazy. I don't know who did it, but whoever,

704

Speaker 2: that thumbs up to you.

705
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: I once left my backpack at an after hours club

706
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: and it had my notebook in it, and it was

707
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: a real sketchy place, and I was like, well, I'm

708
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: never seeing any of that stuff again. And then it

709
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: was a year, one year later, and I had written

710
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: in it. This was when I used to write reward

711
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars for because it was like my comedy notebook.

712
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: But it was a whole year later, and so I

713
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 1: had just recreated all my sets from my head in

714
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: another notebook, and so I didn't need it anymore. But

715
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: then I just get these creepy phone calls to just

716
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: be like, hey, got your notebook, no way, do you know?

717
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: Do you want your notebook back? You want to meet me?

718
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: And I think it was a guy who had tagged

719
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: my bag and was like, I'm going to try and

720
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: get five hundred dollars off of this guy, and so

721
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: I just said, no, you could have it.

722
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,080

Speaker 3: Really it's it's goofer remor, thank which I appreciate.

00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: Thank you.

788
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: And of course we are here with the wonderful and fantastic.

789
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: Albertina Rizzo, a friend of the show and now the

790
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: head writer of The Muppets. Yes, here's what, here's my

791
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: here's my next question. How many people did you have

792
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: writing on the show.

793
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 4: We had a total of five writers, including myself. It's

794
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 4: a really small room. It's a special I think if

795
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 4: you need more than that, I mean I don't. I

796
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 4: think maybe you know, we could have as more. But

797
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 4: we had five, including myself, and they were wonderful writers.

798
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 4: It was Gabe Leadman, and Nita Swice and this man

799
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 4: Kelly Younger who I didn't know it's until the room,

800
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 4: who was great, and Andrew Sullivan and and he and

801
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 4: it was it was just joyful. We actually like broke

802
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 4: a lot of it in the first week because I,

803
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 4: you know, I again, I can't really describe how interesting

804
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 4: it is to write from opens.

805
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 2: Yes, a lot of freedom, it's.

806
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: Well, it's it's freedom.

807
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 4: But also like there's a thread there because when it's human,

808
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 4: there's something about Muppets where like you can't have them

809
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:02,720
Speaker 4: say things that are cynical.

810
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, Yeah, it just doesn't work.

811
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they can't be too verbose because that also

812
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 4: doesn't work because there's something that happens to the human

813
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,399
Speaker 4: brain when you see a puppet talking for too long

814
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 4: that your brain kind of zones out.

815
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 3: So it's really.

816
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 4: Interesting to have like trained my brain coming from like

817
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,120
Speaker 4: being a joke writer and like a variety you know,

818
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 4: like a narrative shows and stuff like that. There's so

819
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 4: many jokes you want to make that you think would

820
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 4: be so funny coming out of a muppet's mouth, and

821
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 4: then you realize you can't do that.

822
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 2: H You also wrote on the Golden Globes last week

823
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: or before the show was last week? Did you you

824
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 2: know they always horrid writers away for those you're always

825
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: in sort of the back and you know, the host comes,

826
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 2: you're all scribbling out jokes and stuff. Did you pass

827
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,200
Speaker 2: anybody cool in the hallways? Did you see any cool

828
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 2: celebrity walking by on stage?

829
00:43:59,080 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 3: Yeah?

830
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 4: Me and just stood by the the the stairs and

831
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 4: we saw George Cloney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Steven Spielberg, which me,

832
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 4: those are like three shooting stars because.

833
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: You never see those guys exactly right.

834
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,720
Speaker 4: Like I'm and Julia Roberts too. There's something about Julia.

835
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 4: There's something about like I worked in Late Night where

836
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 4: I've met everybody under the sun.

837
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 3: So like she's pretty, but like, no, it's not even that,

838
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 3: not in like a you know, kind of too cool.

839
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 4: I mean, I also think it's a product of like

840
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 4: any you guys lived in New York. New Yorkers just

841
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 4: don't give as much of a ship about it.

842
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: Why it's a good good place to go if you're

843
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: a celebrity, because people really want to you alone.

844
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you it's kind of like in the culture

845
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 4: of New York to not give a ship at somebody's

846
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 4: And I think that in addition to like having worked

847
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 4: with in Late Night and I remember my joke was

848
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 4: always like, well, you know when people would tell me,

849
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 4: like when you're on set or something and they're telling

850
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 4: you about fails, because like once you meet Obama, yeah

851
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,839
Speaker 4: that's like you're kind of like that's fine. Everybody else

852
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 4: is kind of like sure, so like not that I

853
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 4: like he knows me.

854
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 3: But but you know, when you you're to.

855
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 4: Like somebody like that, you're like, okay, well now it's

856
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 4: kind of all just sort of muddled. But there are

857
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 4: people that you're really still kind of like think of

858
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 4: that look at that in kind of a weird scientific

859
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 4: way almost.

860
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: Like seeing a bluebird or a cardinal. Yeah, it's right there, like.

861
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 3: Look at that.

862
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 4: Seeing Leo was kind of like that kind of thing

863
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 4: where you're like, it's just kind of an interesting thing

864
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 4: in nature because it doesn't doesn't compute in your head.

865
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: That Leo joke was so good because it is so

866
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: true that nobody knows anything about that.

867
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 3: Man. I think it's saved the joke.

868
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: I think oh saved the joke because like when it

869
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: came out, you're just like, ahha, we've heard that joke,

870
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: and then the follow up made the joke worthwhile, made

871
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: the joke. Yeah.

872
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 4: We talked about that at length in the room, and

873
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 4: we were all because we were all pushing back on

874
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 4: like you can't make another joke about him dating young woman.

875
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 4: It's like every joke has been done. Yes, And then

876
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 4: I forget how we had gotten to the point of like, yeah,

877
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 4: but there is nothing else you know about him, yes,

878
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 4: And there's something funny about pointing that out, and it

879
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 4: kind of like, you know, like it's because.

880
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 2: He's a great celebrity. By the way.

881
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 4: Dress is the thing that you are kind of worried about,

882
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 4: you know, And and there were so many jokes that

883
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 4: we wanted to do.

884
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 3: She did a bunch of jokes on Stern that we

885
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 3: were like it just by the time.

886
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: The awards come out, you've run the joke so many times, so.

887
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 4: Punchy, you're so punchy, and everything's making you laugh and

888
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 4: you're pitching things that are so insane that you start

889
00:46:58,719 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 4: thinking we should say the.

890
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 3: On camera and then you realize, oh no, I mean

891
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 3: we had some jokes about Julia.

892
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I remember I had a joke about Julia

893
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 4: Roberts and it wasn't even like mean, it was like

894
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 4: something funny about her, not her making a movie that

895
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 4: no one saw, and I don't know what it is

896
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 4: about America and the culture.

897
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 3: And I get it because she is a true movie star.

898
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 4: They're like people would boot the joke, you know, when

899
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 4: you try out the jokes, people were you know, like

900
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 4: he would say that, like she would she would tell

901
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 4: a joke about like Julia Roberts, and like it was

902
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 4: a like a not like a softball joke about like

903
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 4: making a movie that no one saw, and you would

904
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 4: think it was like the worst thing you've ever said

905
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: about And funny is that I kept pushing for the joke.

906
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 4: So I think she's fair game.

907
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,240
Speaker 3: She's super famous.

908
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, but she calms out and then go on the

909
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 4: globes and people give her a standing one and I go, oh, no,

910
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 4: that's good that we didn't say standing.

911
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 1: Oh read, that's fascinating just for being Julia Roberts.

912
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 3: It's not like she's like aged or like she's like incredible.

913
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 3: She's at the prime of her life. She's don't make movies.

914
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 1: And people stood up as though that's fascinating.

915
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 3: You'd come back from war something craziest thing.

916
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, well, I guess it's a good

917
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 4: thing we didn't ding her, because I mean, there are

918
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 4: certain people that you in the culture that you just

919
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: cannot speak about, and like the people are very protective

920
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 4: over and those are the people that seeing her was fascinating,

921
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 4: because there is a thing with There are movie stars,

922
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 4: and I think most movie stars were made in the nineties,

923
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 4: and I think.

924
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,320
Speaker 3: They haven't made any new ones. Very few, like Timothy

925
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 3: Chalamy is probably the only one.

926
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,479
Speaker 2: Yea yeah, yea dya.

927
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,799
Speaker 3: But like as India, But like.

928
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 1: I say, day, either of your pronunciations is great. She prefers.

929
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 3: I told this only only nineties people are like still

930
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, superstars.

931
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 2: It's true, it was a different time. Also, it's it's

932
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 2: why Leonardo DiCaprio is still celebrity superstars because you don't

933
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 2: know anything about him, so you just can only hate

934
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 2: this one thing. And I did find out he has

935
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: the biggest collection of movie posters like Vintage of anybody.

936
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 2: He's got more like Classic, the Casablancas and the Creature,

937
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,120

00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 3: that they said, and.

950
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 4: You can plug this into any part of your life.

00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 4: David Chase was asked about it, and he said, I

957
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 4: find that if you leave something unanswered, someone will think

958
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 4: about it for the rest of their lives, and if

959
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 4: you wrap it in a nice little bowl, they'll forget it.

960
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 2: Yep.

961
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,960

00:50:59,360 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 3: was trying to get.

966
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because if you complete that circuit, that circuit is

967
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: over right, and if you don't, if you leave it open, yeah.

968
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,920
