Speaker 1: Welcome to the Greatest, a production of I Heart Radio. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to the Greatest. I am Megan Gaily, and
Speaker 1: I am joined by my co host and husband, c J. Tolrodono. Wow,
Speaker 1: that may have been your best insurance. I do it
Speaker 1: like that all the time and not according to the
Speaker 1: notes of some of our fans. Um, I am your coach.
Speaker 1: CJ TOLDO. We have a very special episode, special in
Speaker 1: that it is sad and is also our final episode.
Speaker 1: C J and I we're breaking up. Yeah. See, this
Speaker 1: is what happens when you start a podcast with your
Speaker 1: significant other. You know, the possible ending to it is
Speaker 1: a divorce. I don't know we were going to tell
Speaker 1: everybody immediately. I thought we were going to make fun
Speaker 1: of the weekend's Super Bowl halftime show for that. But
Speaker 1: we don't have to. We can explain. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: sports real quick. What did you think about the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: We're not breaking up. Um, we have taken an oath.
Speaker 1: Is that what your avow? We've taken a vow and
Speaker 1: we take it very seriously. But we did not take
Speaker 1: a vow to this podcast to be my drift. Um,
Speaker 1: let's talk about sports. We'll talk about sports, and then
Speaker 1: we'll in the final minutes of this podcast, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about our greatest moments doing it what we've enjoed. I
Speaker 1: wanted to plan beforehand because O casual. Okay, so, um wait,
Speaker 1: what was your question. I just wanted to know. We
Speaker 1: just came off of a very big sports weekend. Oh
Speaker 1: and it was bad. It's um okay, So this was
Speaker 1: not the greatest. This super Bowl was very bad. Um.
Speaker 1: Last year was good. The year before was very bad.
Speaker 1: So two out of last three years have been real stinkers. Um.
Speaker 1: I also thought the halftime performance. I like his music,
Speaker 1: I like him. Those are bangers. It was not good. Um.
Speaker 1: I do not think men can do it. I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think or maybe they can't do it alone.
Speaker 1: And then it was gonna be like Prince of course
Speaker 1: great would love to have Bruno. You cannot do it again.
Speaker 1: Bruno Mars has a band of men. Yes, but I
Speaker 1: think the times Bruno Mars has done it, he has
Speaker 1: also had cameos. No, I see your argument for men
Speaker 1: shouldn't do it. I just think you got friends stop by,
Speaker 1: you have a friends stop bye. Think of the general
Speaker 1: scope of the Super Bowl, like Hey, you may not
Speaker 1: be for everybody or you have, you know, sort of
Speaker 1: one vision, but like bringing other people like j Lo
Speaker 1: brought in Shakira, Uh, you know, and and I don't
Speaker 1: think oh, I do not think j Loo brought in Shakira.
Speaker 1: Oh you think it was decided the NFL said we're
Speaker 1: having chick your own j Loo, But Shakira and Jail
Speaker 1: had each other and then also bad Can I just
Speaker 1: Shakira bigger star than the weekend, j Lo bigger star
Speaker 1: than the weekend as of right now, I don't think
Speaker 1: here is bigger than in the world. Bitch, where have
Speaker 1: you been? That's right? But I'm saying like in the world,
Speaker 1: Shakira is very very very popular South America and she's
Speaker 1: Middle Eastern, so those are two geographic areas that do
Speaker 1: not have a lot of representation at the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: halftime show. She is a much more globally famous person.
Speaker 1: J Lo is j Low. So we had two more
Speaker 1: famous people than the one less famous man. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it should be a famous Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: they can also dance, and they have more they have
Speaker 1: more hits. We just agree on that. It's like I
Speaker 1: just yeah, the Weekend's hits are different. They're not like
Speaker 1: a captivating them I did to them. I listened to
Speaker 1: them in the car, I sing along to them. I
Speaker 1: think it has great music. I just don't if I
Speaker 1: was at a concert and that's what I saw, I
Speaker 1: would have been disappointed. I just don't think of that captivating.
Speaker 1: The last song he did what can't say on my
Speaker 1: face or with it when it was like on the field,
Speaker 1: all those doubles, great visual like if it was close
Speaker 1: to that for most of it, it would have been
Speaker 1: pretty good. If that was what it was and he
Speaker 1: was doing a cameo, Like if he did a cameo
Speaker 1: of that and someone else was the main act, I
Speaker 1: would have been like, this is fun. But it was like, dog,
Speaker 1: you've been bombing the whole set. You can't And you
Speaker 1: know what My criticism was, how did not one of
Speaker 1: those backup dancers face hell? How did they How did
Speaker 1: they not find one person who's face wasn't burned fire?
Speaker 1: I love giving opportunity to people, but maybe this is
Speaker 1: why it is our last Maybe maybe maybe one dancer
Speaker 1: who wasn't burned. Yeah, I was on I was on
Speaker 1: a gummy after a very clean month of not taking
Speaker 1: gummies and I forgot a lot of it. You want
Speaker 1: to run through a little bit of our food spread. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we ushed it. We really like, I was really happy.
Speaker 1: I'm still fighting back. We can. We had two other
Speaker 1: folks here. Yeah, we all made an oath to each other.
Speaker 1: And I know we sound like whatever that s and
Speaker 1: l skit in the and but we did not go.
Speaker 1: We don't go anywhere. That's like people will, what's going
Speaker 1: on California. It's like I have not been in a
Speaker 1: business with my map, Like I haven't been out to
Speaker 1: eat in months. I don't even go to my office.
Speaker 1: We're another person. We had a we had a lovely
Speaker 1: group of people that we used to see. We do
Speaker 1: not see them anymore, like our pod is now c
Speaker 1: J and me. So we did have a couple who
Speaker 1: don't have kids, also same story as us, and we
Speaker 1: were like we need each other. We've been following the
Speaker 1: playoffs with them via text and we really just brought
Speaker 1: it in terms of food and we had a great
Speaker 1: time together. So all right, food, Okay, he made ribs
Speaker 1: that were like meaty good, just brought the barbecue dry up,
Speaker 1: and then homemade sauce that we have sitting in front
Speaker 1: of us right now, delicious ribs, like truly tender, juicy,
Speaker 1: meaty smoked chicken wings. And then also try tip he
Speaker 1: made all with the dry rub on it. And then
Speaker 1: he made his famous macaroni and cheese. It is like
Speaker 1: creamy had caramelized onions and blue cheese on the top.
Speaker 1: I didn't know, I love, but so good. Whatever that
Speaker 1: recipe if he came up with it, or if you
Speaker 1: can find a blue cheese mac and cheese recipe, highly
Speaker 1: suggested um. And then c J was dead set on
Speaker 1: us getting the Pizza Hut Detroit style. First you can
Speaker 1: find it. Then you googled. I looked up on Twitter
Speaker 1: and just found like a tweet from like a week
Speaker 1: ago with two likes. It was in a special section.
Speaker 1: So um, Detroit style Pizza Hut, pizza one cheese stuff crust.
Speaker 1: That's what I started eating pretty drunk, you know, And
Speaker 1: then the Pizza Hut buffalo wings were good. Now. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like how surprisingly when Domino's rebooted and with
Speaker 1: like their new crust and new sauce and all that,
Speaker 1: and you're like, holy crap, this used to be terrible.
Speaker 1: What this is a new thing. I recommended them to
Speaker 1: my parents who are from Buffalo Falls. People don't know
Speaker 1: that Niagara Falls and Buffalo are like the same, but
Speaker 1: they are. Well, I guess we do have Buffalo listeners
Speaker 1: and they know I recommend them to them. And my
Speaker 1: grandfather eight anchor bar chicken wings before he had open
Speaker 1: heart surgery. Okay, like we take chicken wings. Why not.
Speaker 1: He's no longer with us, this is important to us.
Speaker 1: And then I made a trio of dips Waca moley
Speaker 1: salsa and then Caeso fun dido, which is so good,
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Also the lemon bars that brought, and
Speaker 1: I brought my trash accessories, peanut butter, Eminem's gummy worms
Speaker 1: take fives which were hid oreos oreos. Yeah, anyway, that's
Speaker 1: not sports talk. But we had a nice time. We
Speaker 1: hope you guys did as well. The game wasn't great.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady one another one we don't need to spend.
Speaker 1: You know, if you've listened to the pod, you know
Speaker 1: we're not big Tom Brady fans. I do. He's the
Speaker 1: go I Also, here's the thing, I thought he was
Speaker 1: the goat. Like before, I was like, if he wants
Speaker 1: to go but then someone very easily convinced me to
Speaker 1: think about it a little bit more because they're like
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's and Kobe or like in Muhammad Ali. They
Speaker 1: had to play the entire game. They had to play
Speaker 1: offense and defense. Tom Brady, I see what you're saying.
Speaker 1: But quarterback is very much considered by everyone the most
Speaker 1: important position. But I would I would agree with that.
Speaker 1: But we've seen Peyton Manning win one that everyone would
Speaker 1: admit a decent quarterback would have won a super Bowl
Speaker 1: on that team. Okay, all right, No, I don't know
Speaker 1: I had to bring him up. I just feel like
Speaker 1: there's reserves instead of him. He didn't make the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame. I'm very happy c J did not allow
Speaker 1: me to watch it. What do you mean, we're watching
Speaker 1: Spider Man. I'm a Marvel head now. All I do
Speaker 1: is watch Marvel. I just watched one division, which is
Speaker 1: the most like you know general like you can dip right,
Speaker 1: you can go right into that. Okay, all right. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's a good thing that we had the goat structure
Speaker 1: because we've just covered eighteen topics in the last Do
Speaker 1: you think you have a d d um? Yeah, some
Speaker 1: of it it's like self proclaimed, self diagnosed, proclaimed self diagnosed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, maybe do you Oh yeah, I've been diagnosed
Speaker 1: by a like a doctor. What else would you be diagnosed?
Speaker 1: You're what you're what you just said yourself. Yes, Um,
Speaker 1: so I think I have a d D and a
Speaker 1: d h D. I truly cannot remember difference. I may
Speaker 1: have one or the other. They make you take like
Speaker 1: a little test, you know, and so, and I didn't
Speaker 1: get diagnosed until I was eighteen. It just kind of
Speaker 1: slips through the cracks. They said that, like my overcompensation
Speaker 1: was to be very good in school and like answer
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. So you know, that was like
Speaker 1: I need to talk and I am going great, so
Speaker 1: I would just like answer everything. So are you taking medication? No?
Speaker 1: I don't take any medication back then, but you have
Speaker 1: to like take this little test. And one of my
Speaker 1: issues when I am writing by hand, which I almost
Speaker 1: never do, is I leave the last letter off of
Speaker 1: words a lot. And of course if you can't even
Speaker 1: write a ForWord, like your brain is onto the next,
Speaker 1: that's good. At your professional writer, well, no, I type. Well.
Speaker 1: The fun fact if you're a professional writer, you do
Speaker 1: very little writing Yeah, it's more of like what's inside
Speaker 1: your brain in that you're offering on the subject at hand.
Speaker 1: I don't ever if I'm typing at writing work, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm tweeting and I'm texting. You're not supposed to be
Speaker 1: doing that, M I mean that's writing, um, c J.
Speaker 1: Now is that all the news that we wanted to
Speaker 1: cover just before we get into I think so. But
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you this. We were not kidding.
Speaker 1: We are without guests because this is going to be
Speaker 1: the final episode and it's been fully at peace. Guys,
Speaker 1: it's it's a lot too. UM. I don't want to
Speaker 1: I don't want to say live with a person in
Speaker 1: do a part because we we truly could have kept
Speaker 1: to go. It's just sometimes a man and a woman
Speaker 1: mean and then they decide you're great, I'm great. We
Speaker 1: gotta be great separately, and that's fully not what you
Speaker 1: and I have done. We've decided to be mediocre to
Speaker 1: get well. I was going to say we decided to
Speaker 1: be not not famous together. UM. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that means. But the man in this metaphor analogy is me.
Speaker 1: No is the podcast we have. We have decided to
Speaker 1: part ways with this love of ours complicated love of ours,
Speaker 1: it's not complicated for me. But it's not complicated for
Speaker 1: me because I don't have to do anything. I just
Speaker 1: have to show up and be myself. You have to,
Speaker 1: oh boys, set up the equipment, be yourself download be
Speaker 1: myself is yeah, well that's what I said I had
Speaker 1: to do. What do you think I meant just like be?
Speaker 1: I thought you were telling me to be. I was
Speaker 1: the only one being myself on this podcast to a fault.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying you you just have a lot more responsibility.
Speaker 1: So it's not complicated for me. No, I mean, in
Speaker 1: the grand scheme of things, this was both the best
Speaker 1: and worst time to start a our first like professional
Speaker 1: endeavor with each other. Well, we had one another one,
Speaker 1: but Quimby passed. Oh boy, don't talk about that. We said,
Speaker 1: we never talked about. But now that it's gone another one.
Speaker 1: Since then, our marriage outlasted Quimby. Remember when he said
Speaker 1: he didn't get it? Well, guess what, bits we're here
Speaker 1: and you're not, so maybe the world didn't get you. Anyways.
Speaker 1: You know, there's totally ups and downs to doing a
Speaker 1: sports podcast with your significant other who you've trapped is
Speaker 1: like a harsh word, and like not trapped, but like
Speaker 1: we we've we work out of our homes, we wake
Speaker 1: up and we walked two ft to our job we
Speaker 1: do competing zoom zoom rooms. There was a time during
Speaker 1: this whole thing where there were three podcasts happening at
Speaker 1: one time in our home, me and you inside the house,
Speaker 1: and then a friend who needed our girl. Like, that's
Speaker 1: only two, that's only podcasts. No, you were doing a podcast.
Speaker 1: I was doing a podcast. Our friend was doing a podcast.
Speaker 1: But you know, and that is just like the one
Speaker 1: of the many like complications and were those desiding factors
Speaker 1: to us ending this podcast? No? Actually, I feel like
Speaker 1: you just keep talking and I'm like you can whoa. Well, No,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that there was a lot of hurdles,
Speaker 1: but I regret none of it, and we had so
Speaker 1: many nice moments and we're very grateful. I would just
Speaker 1: also like it to be clear, I never get c G.
Speaker 1: I am never annoyed with c J. I can always
Speaker 1: take more. I don't think we're trapped. I think we're
Speaker 1: say I said, trapped is too arch of a word.
Speaker 1: I want to be with c J all the time.
Speaker 1: This is just so the people in the comments. No,
Speaker 1: I want to be with c J all the time.
Speaker 1: C J sometimes needs a little break. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it wasn in it. Yeah, that's all I'm asking as
Speaker 1: you get it, for the love of God, do not
Speaker 1: get it and it makes you are frequent And I
Speaker 1: don't know, We've talked about them so many times this
Speaker 1: podcast because they are avid listeners and probably our biggest fans.
Speaker 1: Your parents and yeah, we just had a phone call
Speaker 1: earlier today where I just said I I said jokingly.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you know, I'll take a present
Speaker 1: being left alone. And your dad was like, amen, brother,
Speaker 1: I would, and both of you left left alone My
Speaker 1: mom and I go, okay, yeah, see how you fair?
Speaker 1: You know what I say, We opened this marriage. We
Speaker 1: opened this marriage. I'm I'm not on the gold. Maybe
Speaker 1: on the on the bronze. Maybe someone take my bronze.
Speaker 1: Ass you it's switched in your office forever, because that's
Speaker 1: what you want. Switch in my office? Yeah, Nintendo switch? Yes,
Speaker 1: I now, okay, Um, do you have any let's do
Speaker 1: top three favorite moments of the podcast, not the concept,
Speaker 1: what the greatest? Top three greatest? Sorry I didn't say
Speaker 1: the full sentence, you said top three favorite. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was the big problem I was having in the beginning
Speaker 1: of this podact favorite, because the thing is go back
Speaker 1: and listen every episode. I am simply saying my favorite
Speaker 1: greatest coach Tom Thibodeaux. No, that's just a favorite coach
Speaker 1: of mine. So you know what, here are my favorite
Speaker 1: moments from the Greatest Podcast. Just adjusted. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: just adjust the headphones. But then the hat also will
Speaker 1: be smashing my hair, so I gotta pushed my hair
Speaker 1: out of my face. I'm talking, I'm talking, and I'm
Speaker 1: doing things, and I'm feeling thing. Two minutes out and
Speaker 1: I'm happy with my baby see chick or my baby,
Speaker 1: and I'll be keeping time, all right, you go first.
Speaker 1: Um gosh, I really love when we got to go
Speaker 1: to the office. I thought that was really fun. People wrestling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm very confused by the by the decora that happens
Speaker 1: in a studio. Megan flipped down to me and our
Speaker 1: first we used to go into the as everyone. We
Speaker 1: would go to physical locations to work and we would
Speaker 1: record episodes. We went to the iHeart Studio in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: which I'm not like, kind of miss like it felt
Speaker 1: like fun that we you know, you grow up area
Speaker 1: as a kid. You're like, I'm gonna work in Hollywood,
Speaker 1: but I don't know we are you hearing that like
Speaker 1: beeping outside? I'm hearing a lot of noises, Like does
Speaker 1: that dog is the dog? The dog's like, I don't
Speaker 1: know you referenced it. It just seems strange to be
Speaker 1: like you can hear a dog dogs but like you're recording. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just like, you know, we're trading stocks, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. The dog staple is like I hear
Speaker 1: dogs in every podcast. Yeah. My my office was right
Speaker 1: I had two offices right around the corner from it,
Speaker 1: and there was this smoothie place that's so good. I
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't know. I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: going to make it. If they're making it, it's well
Speaker 1: you're trying to make it liquid or something. It has
Speaker 1: a bad name. I just don't know if they're Please
Speaker 1: open back up, because Megan has been trying to make
Speaker 1: those are bad bad They're just not what they used
Speaker 1: to be. But I just loved those those in person episodes.
Speaker 1: We got to have Anthony Lee, Josiah, got to see
Speaker 1: Jen Clark, it was just really fun and oh, I
Speaker 1: just always love when you have to have like a
Speaker 1: barrier of professionalism between you hanging out with a friend.
Speaker 1: It was fully us hanging out, but there was a
Speaker 1: sound man who reminded us of our friend Cameron to Lett,
Speaker 1: who had to sit in there and like deal with
Speaker 1: three people, you know, talking about Chicago too much. And
Speaker 1: then yeah, we'd run into other comedians we knew and
Speaker 1: hosts on the network and that was nice too. It's just, um,
Speaker 1: so I my number three greatest is getting to be
Speaker 1: with people in person. That's very nice. Um, okay my
Speaker 1: number three, Uh, your parents listening, Hi guys, Hi guy,
Speaker 1: are we on mute? No? We're not your parents listening
Speaker 1: was very very nice. Yeah, I mean it was definitely
Speaker 1: a confidence booster, well know, just being like you know,
Speaker 1: like they like, like, were you happy they liked you
Speaker 1: as a son or as a podcast post? Wow? Okay,
Speaker 1: have you guys ever been on a podcast before? I've
Speaker 1: been in the lineup at the police station. Is that
Speaker 1: kind of you know? C J and I did have
Speaker 1: a conversation beforehand that we really hope you're doing this
Speaker 1: podcast does not get you canceled. Dad We're going to
Speaker 1: do our best to cut everything out, but you have
Speaker 1: to give us some good stuff. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: talk about sensitive body parts or bodily functions the way
Speaker 1: you do a little missy. Don't make me come out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why we had you on so we can get
Speaker 1: megana clean up my act. Now, Dad, do you even
Speaker 1: know how to find a podcast? Yes, I've got the
Speaker 1: greatest time my phone. Have you listened to any other
Speaker 1: podcast than this one? Bob and Tom they have a podcast?
Speaker 1: Is a podcast, that's the radio show. That's a radio
Speaker 1: were you talking about running into And I loved when
Speaker 1: I your parents would compliment me on picks or like,
Speaker 1: you know, they learned about me through the podcast and
Speaker 1: that's very nice. And they would like walk and it
Speaker 1: was like, that's such a nice lafe that they were
Speaker 1: going on walking and listening to the podcast and not
Speaker 1: with headphones, just playing it full volume from my mom's
Speaker 1: cell phone. But my mom says, no, when people come by,
Speaker 1: we pause it. No, you're allowed to do that in
Speaker 1: the suburbs. That's that's the life. That's just funny. Um.
Speaker 1: I do think this podcast has really helped, Like I
Speaker 1: don't think they would find me saying this has helped
Speaker 1: them and has helped me personally. And I do think
Speaker 1: I hope some other people listening to through the pandemic, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I listened to pt I every day when I'm cooking,
Speaker 1: Like there's just things that are like touch stones, and
Speaker 1: even when everything has been chaotic, it's something nice. So
Speaker 1: I know I have those podcasts in doing this. One
Speaker 1: has been that for me, But I would like love
Speaker 1: if that had been that for anyone in addition to
Speaker 1: my parents, and maybe they added too, you know what,
Speaker 1: I would rate you every single time. I just don't
Speaker 1: know how to find a plans. Okay, well this is
Speaker 1: usually when we do our plugs content people are going on, Dad,
Speaker 1: what what would you like to plug? Front the plans
Speaker 1: of rock band Knucklehead And you're performing July for the
Speaker 1: black Hawk. Okay, and is that outside? It's outside? All right?
Speaker 1: So I don't know about that. Well, we'll see, maybe
Speaker 1: we'll maybe we'll have a maybe we'll have a discussion
Speaker 1: off fair about whether that's decision. Is that your number two? Um?
Speaker 1: I mean that was just sort of a speech, but
Speaker 1: I'd like for it to be my number two. It helped.
Speaker 1: It was lovely to see people on zoom even you know,
Speaker 1: I know my number three was getting to see people
Speaker 1: in person, but just to like catch up with friends.
Speaker 1: And after it we would always say, that was so fun.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy we got to see so and so,
Speaker 1: and you know, then we start we would start testing
Speaker 1: with people more and more because we had been like
Speaker 1: talking about stuff, so it was a way to stay connected.
Speaker 1: And now I'm I don't know, now I'm second guessing
Speaker 1: whether we should end it. Okay, what's your number two?
Speaker 1: So that was your number two? Well that was first
Speaker 1: of all, the speech was not but then it did
Speaker 1: lead me into my point, which was my number two.
Speaker 1: All right, My number two favorite moment from the Greatest
Speaker 1: was that was the last episode um My Buddy, which
Speaker 1: really was a test of like boys. So yeah, when
Speaker 1: that hurt you, that was really that was a real
Speaker 1: big bummer, and I was like, I'm a failure. You.
Speaker 1: I've done so many podcasts with Joeko Gallen and I
Speaker 1: would say a third of them are lost. So we
Speaker 1: had gotten my friend U T. K or Cars, which
Speaker 1: people may know as he was Mindy Kaling's brother, and
Speaker 1: the MINDI Project he's been in movies and stuff. He
Speaker 1: wrapped at the Oscars, so it was like a week
Speaker 1: after wrapping at the Oscars and he is my friend
Speaker 1: and I played basketball with him before the game. Was
Speaker 1: about to have a baby, but the baby and he's
Speaker 1: liked that. Another kid was closet and we did what
Speaker 1: best uniforms, the best jerseys, which is the perfect. That's
Speaker 1: like why we're friends because we would play basketball together
Speaker 1: and like we'd have different jerseys on and stuff. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is like you know, we're
Speaker 1: trying to bring semi famous or like you know, big guests,
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is a this would be
Speaker 1: a great guest. During the pandemic. It was our first
Speaker 1: time recording external guests outside of our home during quarantine,
Speaker 1: and I completely did not hit record and so that
Speaker 1: was a real big bummer and it made me really
Speaker 1: buckled down. And for you, you were like really beating
Speaker 1: yourself up. And I truly when you said it, I go,
Speaker 1: that's okay, Like I just it's it does happen. It's
Speaker 1: so terrible, but you cannot like live in it. But
Speaker 1: I also say that I say that as the person
Speaker 1: that doesn't have to like, yeah, but you know, and
Speaker 1: so now every three seconds I'm staring at this red
Speaker 1: button on the on the podcast equipment. Well you'll be
Speaker 1: free from that. Well now there's gonna be other ventures
Speaker 1: out there, which, yeah, that you can. We're on I'm
Speaker 1: on someone else's podcast every day, so are you. You
Speaker 1: have regular podcasts, so people listening you will be able
Speaker 1: to find us swhere. It's like you're verbally talking yourself
Speaker 1: off of a ledge. So my number one moment, my
Speaker 1: number one favorite greatest minutes what you said my number
Speaker 1: one greatest moment was, um, I mean, what do you
Speaker 1: think it was? Getting to do the podcast with each other.
Speaker 1: I have a funny one I was gonna say, talking
Speaker 1: to Reggie Miller. We are back with one of the
Speaker 1: greatest to ever play, my favorite NBA player of all time,
Speaker 1: wearing a shirt right now, Reggie, Well, you guys do
Speaker 1: know that we are forever mat Yes, right, because you

Speaker 1: the laundry room. Yeah, that's so that's where we did
Speaker 1: the last U t K episode. We did it back there,
Speaker 1: and you know, we had a time frame. We like
Speaker 1: took that one serious, really really serious. Um. We did
Speaker 1: like practice phone calls in and and then he just
Speaker 1: couldn't have been lovelier. He's so nice and oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: even him just saying like we're forever connected listen times
Speaker 1: have been bleak and stuck in the cell sometimes, and
Speaker 1: it was like a real like Oh I talked about
Speaker 1: it for weeks, you know, I missed you, Reggie. Yeah
Speaker 1: that was awesome because yeah, it was like we had done.
Speaker 1: We had you know, we got engaged in front of mirror.
Speaker 1: You grew up loving him, I mean so did I.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's really felt like the top of the
Speaker 1: mountain of our experiences with Reggie Miller. I think there's
Speaker 1: more for us to do with him. Okay, wait, so
Speaker 1: I have read what I wanted to tell everyone, honorable mention,
Speaker 1: and it's just the recap of the places that this
Speaker 1: podcast has happened. He's down here, What does happen? Are
Speaker 1: you being chased by above? I thought it was like
Speaker 1: I thought it was a ghost. We couldn't see, you know,
Speaker 1: like this is how you go out. So the Hollywood
Speaker 1: studio there, which we had to move out of because
Speaker 1: our neighbors neighbor just like external Like we have a
Speaker 1: neighbor who revs his multiple motor cycles every single day.
Speaker 1: He does not drive them. We're back in the laundry
Speaker 1: room we experiented with our other podcast studios within the house.
Speaker 1: We tried my office. I think all of my memorabilia
Speaker 1: threw you off. No, no, I liked it in there
Speaker 1: a lot. We tried the room that just has a
Speaker 1: liquor car and the peloton. But the first We have
Speaker 1: a neighbor who decides to rev seven motorcycles, just like
Speaker 1: to rev them. I hate him so much. He's my
Speaker 1: number one quarantine enemy. Um, but it would be great
Speaker 1: if he we found it. He listened. This is not
Speaker 1: my first neighbor that I've had. Just ReBs something but
Speaker 1: doesn't take it out. Then if you're listening, we're mad
Speaker 1: at you. Well, then you know what you've done. You've
Speaker 1: done some other things. Okay, so we did have to
Speaker 1: move out of the den, So then that's second here.
Speaker 1: Keep counting this so den laundry room. We are in
Speaker 1: our new Quarantine podcast studio, right next to washing machines.
Speaker 1: That is our laundry room. I am coming to you
Speaker 1: smashed between our back door and our dryer construction next door.
Speaker 1: But a man with a ponytail moved in next door,
Speaker 1: and I I don't feel good about it. That's all.
Speaker 1: It's blonde and it's long. I would end up happing
Speaker 1: with the laundry room. Um, just so much stuff back there.
Speaker 1: And guys, I know when you hear us name these
Speaker 1: multiple rooms in our house. These are not big, These
Speaker 1: are not nice, these are not deporated. They could be nice,
Speaker 1: long dree room just has like a pile of c
Speaker 1: J's jackets. There's loose deturchent projector stands. It was. We
Speaker 1: were doing it right next to our trash cans and recycling,
Speaker 1: and it was not laundry room. To me, I'm picturing
Speaker 1: Judd Apatow's house and this was not that. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: that's three locations. The fourth location was outside, um, outside
Speaker 1: in the backyard. Yes, oh yeah, we did one outside,
Speaker 1: so that's four. We didn't mean the cara outside. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's true. I'm trying to think what else. I'm joined
Speaker 1: here with my wife. Hi hi, hihi Megan, Gaily, Megan,
Speaker 1: how are you doing? I'm good? Um, we're laying down
Speaker 1: in bed. We're not. I'm sitting up. I'm fully reclined
Speaker 1: as if something has happened to me, like I've been
Speaker 1: in an accident and this is the only way that
Speaker 1: I can do the podcast. Did we ever do the
Speaker 1: garage the garage? Um? No, we didn't. We've done other podcasts.
Speaker 1: Other podcasts are in our garage. Okay, we have done
Speaker 1: in this room. We sit right now. That's what six
Speaker 1: we're at six? I lost count? Um, so this is
Speaker 1: our our quote unquote dining room again, a table. Our
Speaker 1: landlord gave us two paintings by my grandma's. It's a
Speaker 1: good room though, I like it. Podcast equipment always loose things,
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman's candles, pizza hut, dipping sauces, touch of a room,
Speaker 1: ere um if I don't know a lot of it.
Speaker 1: Um your old office, Oh yeah, my old office. And
Speaker 1: then we swapped offices and now it's we've also done
Speaker 1: it in your new office, which I thought was a
Speaker 1: really cool set up. Did we ever have to do it?
Speaker 1: I did have to go home for one week? No,
Speaker 1: we just skipped that week. Okay, we skipped that one.
Speaker 1: I needed a personal week. So that is eight places.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so that's a little recap of that, I guess.
Speaker 1: So my number one, My number one is Megan's reaction
Speaker 1: to the first artwork for for a podcast. She was
Speaker 1: just mortified and you know, honestly, and I work with
Speaker 1: artists for a living. I have to give notes and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't know who we are, but the liberty that
Speaker 1: they took and in the reaction that and it's it's
Speaker 1: way better now. Um, But like that first one, Megan
Speaker 1: like called me was like upset. I they made me
Speaker 1: skinnier and like gave me a really defined john. I
Speaker 1: was like, I love it, And what did I look like? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. And listen, I have lots
Speaker 1: of flaws. I have big teeth, I have hair on
Speaker 1: my nipples, I have listen, there's a lot of material.
Speaker 1: I have del a kit facial feature. I have a
Speaker 1: very small nose in a very small chin. And they
Speaker 1: drew me with an Adam's apple and jay Leno's face.
Speaker 1: We got rid of it, we clean it up, and
Speaker 1: I just said, can you make me look like a woman,
Speaker 1: and they said we'll do our best. Um. I don't
Speaker 1: remember my reaction, but I I think maybe it's like
Speaker 1: I will handle it. I was. I think I was hurt.
Speaker 1: I had to reassure that you did not look like
Speaker 1: that when you saw it. Did you think that doesn't
Speaker 1: look like her? You only looked at yourself when you
Speaker 1: were skinny? Yeah, I think that's it. And I was like,
Speaker 1: can you make sure I'm wearing the Jordans ones and
Speaker 1: like have a cool jacket. And I just was like,
Speaker 1: I just don't look like that. I just want to
Speaker 1: have a defined face. Yeah. So yeah, those are my
Speaker 1: favorite greatest moments. Um. But yeah, so I mean we're again,
Speaker 1: we're very very thankful for all of our listeners, and
Speaker 1: like we have regular we do have regular fans. You
Speaker 1: were just like you and like people tweeting us. People
Speaker 1: send me amazing d M. I was on the brink
Speaker 1: of making a greatest email address, but I would say,
Speaker 1: please keep tweeting at us. I we love corresponding with you.
Speaker 1: What I love it. I see it doesn't need attention
Speaker 1: as much as I do. I love corresponding. If you
Speaker 1: have topics and you want to just tweet matt Us,
Speaker 1: we'll give it our best shot. Um. We really are
Speaker 1: going to miss the podcast dearly. Um, it just felt
Speaker 1: like the right time for us to sort of focus
Speaker 1: on some other things. But that doesn't mean we're happy, no,
Speaker 1: but just honestly follow um Megan and myself on social
Speaker 1: media and there will be podcasts where you listen to
Speaker 1: and and yeah, maybe there'll be a new idea that
Speaker 1: Megan and I team up on, you know. Just yeah,
Speaker 1: well want to talk to our representations. So usually when
Speaker 1: people say that that means there's something actually in the works,
Speaker 1: and that is not the case. CJS ideas. I'm not
Speaker 1: a part of them, and that's okay. Um. I have
Speaker 1: a new podcast coming out with the Lifetime Network and
Speaker 1: it'll it's coming up March, the first week of March,
Speaker 1: and if you don't like Lifetime movies, you really don't
Speaker 1: have to watch them. I'm co hosting with Naomi E. Paragon,
Speaker 1: who is truly like one of my funniest comedians, one
Speaker 1: of my funniest comedians, one of my favorite comedians, like
Speaker 1: just hilarious. She's black dress on Instagram and CJ is
Speaker 1: holding up his Thanos bottle opener, So I think that's
Speaker 1: the light, the light for me. Um, but then still
Speaker 1: on hysteria. I mean, I'm just trying to give you
Speaker 1: a podcast. Medium listen. I do zoom shows. I'm a
Speaker 1: real beggar of attention. There are always to catch Megan Gal.
Speaker 1: I'm doing the lowest to bloat things that open micros
Speaker 1: have said I won't do this. I am there virtually. UM, so, yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. I met Megan Gaily on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. Oh, you can give
Speaker 1: your speech. I've given a lot of speeches. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: whole thing has been a speech. So I'll just say
Speaker 1: I'm at c J Toladano. I haven't had a regular
Speaker 1: podcast until this one. I don't think. I think I
Speaker 1: maybe had a few other attempts. So this is my
Speaker 1: longest running podcast. But the thing is, yeah, I have
Speaker 1: realized that some people do enjoy hearing my thoughts and
Speaker 1: in my jokes and whatever. So I'll figure out a
Speaker 1: podcast I'll show you, Megan Um and I think too,
Speaker 1: you can just bring the cartoon from this one to
Speaker 1: whatever you're new idea that I'm not a part of,
Speaker 1: and say this is me, and I'm on week six
Speaker 1: of my little diet and exercise, and I might actually
Speaker 1: look like the cartoon in about a year. And I'm
Speaker 1: on week six of not being on that diet with
Speaker 1: c J, and I might look like Jay Leno in
Speaker 1: a year. But yeah, I have a new company follow
Speaker 1: through and you'll probably you've probably seen some videos that
Speaker 1: we're doing, but we're going to do more for other places,
Speaker 1: stuff for T n T, stuff for Bleacher Report, and yeah,
Speaker 1: just follow me at CJ Toldano you'll see all of
Speaker 1: my projects and you'll be able to annoy you in
