Speaker 1: works for five years. About Ramen Naser is a comedian

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: and artist friend who if you're not following Ramen Naser

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: on Instagram and buying all of his books and just

25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 1: looking at he makes these beautiful, like psychedelic rainbow philosophical

26
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: art pieces and has been doing that for years and

27
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: so five years ago I asked him, Hey, do you

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: want to collaborate on a book where I you do

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the thing that you do, but instead of to your

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: words to my words and from my word lips.

31
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: To his god ears. He was like, yes, I will,

32
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: I will do that.

33
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: And then five years past and this year he slash,

34
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: we did it. And so every page just like you know,

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: a cartoon where he has illustrated, like the first. Some

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: of them are just very silly. Some of them are

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: like maybe more philosophical. The first cartoon in the book

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: is called uh. It's a picture of a lady holding

39
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: a baby uh, and it looks adorable, and then the

40
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: baby is saying new life. Who dis And so that's,

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: for example, like this is just me saying it. But

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: then like, look at his beautiful art, look at the

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: things that he's made. It's at Oh yeah, that's one

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 1: hundred percent, you can that's that's the very one. Oh yeah,

45
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: so that's the title the right there, the two down

46
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: from the title on the left is the very one

47
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: that I just said out loud to you, that's the one.

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: Look at it.

49
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: Look at that baby like that her winter like.

50
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: He looks a little worried.

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean, that's a precocious baby. She's like, I

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: didn't know it was gonna happen right away, but yeah,

53
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: that's that's so. That's Raman's web page. Click on the

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: bowling one if you want. Also, that's a fun one.

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: Uh so that's uh uh Bowling Alley should have a

56
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: hologram of Indiana Jones tiny running in front of every ball.

57
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 4: Picture. I was like, I think that's a fun joke.

58
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: And then I was like, and then he just made

59
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things he did in the book

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: is he did one of like the silliest things. I mean,

61
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: so many of them are so silly, but made this

62
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: really profound thing out of it. I don't think it's

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: one of these that on the page, but I'll tell

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: you it's the two kinds of whales. At least two

65
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: kinds of whales include sperm whales and.

66
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 4: Killer whales, so it's like love and war.

67
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: And then he took that idea, which I think is

68
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: very foolish, and he made a picture that's like a

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: yin yang where there's like one dark killer whale and

70
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: one like pink sperm whale, and they're like intertwined in

71
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: like a legit like Yin Yang shape and it's so

72
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: so anyway that so there's like I think between seventy

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: and eighty pages of the art in there, and uh

74
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: and so I'm just I love getting to work with Ramin.

75
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: He did like the cover for my album No Kidding.

76
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: He also did my both of my podcast logos and

77
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's here, but often my headshot

78
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: is my avatar and it's like half photo and half

79
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: like Rainbow Psychedelic and so yeah, he just he's amazing.

80

Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks the our style is so cool looking,

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: and also it feels like a thing where you could

91
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: even show it to your kids or read it to

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: your kids, and then as they grow older though understand

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: the references.

94
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 3: You know, I feel like my dad did that with

95
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: the Farside.

96
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: Like the far Side is probably the first thing that

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 2: I've got like understood comedy from. And I used to

98
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: go it was bad. I was, I was on I

99
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: was on that far side, crack bad man. I would

100
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: go to like Goodwill and the thrift store and go

101
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: straight to the book section and just see if they

102
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: had any Farside or Garfield, and it's like and if.

103
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: They didn't, I would be so let down.

104
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: But I was. I was all over it.

105
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: It it's so funny because I mean in throughout the

106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: through the test of time, I feel like has been

107
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: kind to the far Side, and like Garfield is a

108
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: different thing. Like I also grew up loving Garfield and

109
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: then only to find out in adulthood everyone's like, but

110
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: but it's not good, right, it's it's it's bad, it's

111
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: not funny or and I'm like, but is that is that?

112
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: Even what it's there's do you know the comedian Tony V.

113
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: Tony V is one of the best comedians I've ever seen.

114
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: He was He's been doing it since the eighties. He's

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: in Boston. He was like one of the headliners in

116
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: Boston who like, he's just like so in the moment,

117
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: Like there's so many wonderful Boston comedians who like you

118
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: could see their act in the eighties and you could see, like,

119
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, this ephen right kind of model of like

120
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: a perfectly formulated joke, a perfectly orchestrated symphony of comedy,

121
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: like every note in its place, and like Tony could

122
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: tell the same joke different ways every time, like more,

123
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: I feel like he was alternative comedy before there was

124
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: a name for it. But also he's just like you know,

125
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy probably in his sixties now and has

126
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: just he's just like he's he's just a got.

127
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 4: He's a guy who does.

128
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: Comedy and it's just so funny. And he had this

129
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: one bit about Garfield. I don't even know if it's

130
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: a bit or just a thing that he said literally once,

131
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: but uh, it's because he's just so conversational and so

132
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: like genuine. And I'll please check out Tony V in

133
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: the Boston area. I don't know how far out of

134
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: New England he gets, but if you can see him,

135
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: here's his Garfield joke paraphrased butchering it.

136
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: Uh, he's like, I.

137
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: Wonder if Jim Davis, the guy who makes Garfield, I

138
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: wonder if he's like he if he's really proud of himself,

139
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Like if he's like he really he really thinks that

140
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: he's like an amazing he's he's created an incredibly popular think.

141
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 4: I wonder if he's sitting there.

142
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: Thinking, like every day you're met with three bank, three

143
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: blank panels, and every day you give him gold, you know,

144
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: or or I wonder if he's like, yeah, man, I'll

145
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: keep cashing the check.

146
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: Sure he's lasagna again. I don't care.

147
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: It's Monday.

148
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: He always says Monday, this one writes. But that stuff

149
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 2: taught me, like in.

150
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: A weird way.

151
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: It taught me like joke structure and comedy, especially like

152
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: those three panel ones, because it's you know, set up,

153
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: then your punchline, you know, payoff, and it like and

154
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: then Garfield was very much like joke structure. And then

155
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: I feel like Farside was absurd ist, abstract thinking and stuff,

156
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: and the art in this kind of reminds you that

157
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: as far as like the legacy of like that, you

158
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: know that Gary Larson legacy of like you can enjoy

159
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 2: this on multiple levels there's a level where you're just

160
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: a kid and you're like, ha ha, that's funny. You know,

161
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: she's holding her baby, and then later you know there's like, man.

162
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: Wait, new life.

163
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 2: Who is We actually don't know who the babies are

164
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: going to be when they're born, what person they're going

165
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: to turn into. And that's I think a journey every

166
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: mother has to go on. And and that starts there

167
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: at that very moment, and uh so there's levels to

168
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: it and I.

169
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: Like that, that's that's very thought full. I appreciate that analysis,

170
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: very kind of you. I'm like, hey, man, I'm just

171
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: giving them a baby.

172
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

173
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 4: Give the baby. It's cool.

174
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I feel like the Muppets are the same

175
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: way for me. Like I was reel into the Muppets

176
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: when I was a kid, and you know, as a kid,

177
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: there's like a level of where like they're dancing socks

178
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: that's all I need, you know, or like in the

179
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: far side the cow is standing up looking at his

180
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: watch like that doesn't like but yeah, and Calvin and

181
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: Hobbes was another one. I feel like that was like,

182
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: I mean that one I think I got from the

183
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 1: get go. I don't remember how it was just like

184
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: it's just pure and timeless and like it's hard for

185
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: me to imagine, Like I like that. I don't know

186
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: if I ever talked to about this, but I have

187
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: an idea that I think about everyone's a well for

188
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: like a life syllabus, like if I were to have kids,

189
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: or if I were to teach like a class. I'm like,

190
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: here's if somebody's like, what do you recommend like in

191
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: like in art in life, Like this is my life

192
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: art syllabus class, Definitely the Muppets and like Calvin and Hobbs.

193
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, those are those are the only two things

194
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: that I'm like people have. I feel like all ages.

195
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: Actually don't even know if it's like across cultures, like

196
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: but I assume Calvin Hobs been like translated into other

197
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: languages and like it's so beautiful visually and like it's

198
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I hope, So if you're in if you speak other

199
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: languages and come from other places, is Calvin and Hobbs.

200
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna ask the Internet. I'm asking the

201
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: Internet now. I'm on the Internet now, but I want

202
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: to I want to find out more. But thank you,

203
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: I I will say, also A good friend of mine

204
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: bought the book and has like a six year old

205
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: nephew and has been like sharing it with him and

206
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: asked him, like, what's one of your favorite ones? And

207
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: he like points to and he asks him to explain it,

208
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: and he's like a smart six year old and he.

209
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 4: Does a He does a good. He has like at

210
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: least one of the levels taken care of.

211
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: And so I'd say that the only thing that some

212
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: parents might not want to show their kids. They're definitely

213
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: there's a few jokes about psychedelics in there, but other

214
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: than that, I mean, they probably might not even know

215
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: what those are just and also those are for adults,

216
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: for adults, Like, look, kids know what alcohol is. Kids

217
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: have heard of we it's becoming legal. It's more therapeutic

218
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: than all these things.

219
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: So who am I yelling at by the book for

220
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: your kids?

221
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: Also, like I feel like when we were growing up

222
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: with cartoons on TV and stuff, they constantly reference adult

223
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: things that we would not get until later. Alcohols, it's

224
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: a constant. They drugs like they make maybe like an

225
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,479
Speaker 2: allegory like oh, this week Tom gets into the catnip,

226
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: and then it's like, oh, the catnip is making him

227
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: act like he's very much on drugs, and you know,

228
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: pink elephants and hallucinogens and all this stuff. So I

229
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: feel like kids get introduced to this stuff all the time,

230
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: and I know those things are translated into other languages,

231
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 2: so I feel like there's an international reach. You know.

232
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: I'm sure somewhere there's a Calvin E. Hobbs, you know.

233
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

234
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes the thing that happened, somebody mentioned Mad Magazine in

235
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: the chat, Like that's another great example of Sometimes I

236
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 1: would be reading like I loved it when I had

237
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,119
Speaker 1: seen in the movie that they were parodying. But sometimes

238
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: I hadn't, and so I'm just like, I'm like learning

239
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: about the movie from them making fun of it, and

240
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: errounds me. I don't know, maybe we've talked about this,

241
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Lawrence, the comedian, Yes, Mike, Mike, he

242
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: has he has a joke about his experience. I think

243
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: I think it's him who like he's like I grew up.

244
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I saw Spaceballs before I saw Star Wars.

245
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: So when I finally saw Star Wars, it was.

246
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 1: Just like unfunny spaceballs, like there are one hundred percent

247
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: here's my this is like I feel like my experience

248
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: that's kind of like that is. I remember when I

249
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: was a kid in like second grade, seven years old

250
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: or something, somebody in class, like we're telling jokes and

251
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: somebody says to me, do you want to hear a

252
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: dirty joke? And I don't know what a dirty joke?

253
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: I don't know what it means to be a dirty joke.

254
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: Like I'm a I'm a pure I'm a good little boy,

255
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Like I truly didn't know. I remember being ten and

256
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: not knowing like what the word virgin meant, and like

257
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: asking another ten year old are you a version?

258
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 4: And he was like of course, And.

259
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, this is good data for my investigation.

260
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: And I remember so at age seven, I don't know anything.

261
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Like it was like the level where if people said it,

262
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: they were like, ah, that's you did did you do

263
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: your homework?

264
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: I did it? You did it?

265
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you did it.

266
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: And like people are doing that and maybe some of

267
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: them knew what sex was, but I didn't.

268
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 4: I was just like, oh, it's fun to say it.

269
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: I get it, Yes, yes, who di is?

270
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: You know what it?

271
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: It's like phe Harmon's word of to day At that point.

272
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent.

273
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: And and so there I was at age seven and

274
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: somebody said, do you want to hear a dirty joke?

275
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 4: And I'm like, yeah, I like jokes.

276
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: And then they just said a pig fell in the mud,

277
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: and I was like okay, And so if you are

278
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: a grown up, who knows what that's like, that's a

279
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: joke that's like kind of not for anyone, you know

280
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like cause kid, I as a kid,

281
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: I didn't have all the information that I needed, And

282
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: as an adult, you'd be like, that's stupid.

283
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: I think, right, do you think it's stupid you're adults?

284
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 5: No, pigs love mud, like I don't understand.

285
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, pigs they get you. If you fall in

286
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: the mud, you get dirty. So that's a joke about

287
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: being dirty. But for me then I was like, well,

288
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: I guess that is what it means for a joke

289
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: to be a dirty joke. It means that it's a

290
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: joke about a creature becoming dirty or being dirty. It

291
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: physically covered in dirt, And truly, I think it. I

292
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: don't know how long it was until I learned that

293
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: that joke wasn't that I didn't understand it, and that

294
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: it was stupid, but.

295
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 4: Maybe not maybe not even yet to this day, I

296
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: still work.

297
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: It still kills he tries to do it. It shows. So

298
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: also we saw on TV, you know, that New York

299
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: and mostly on social media to be honest, that New

300
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: York had some huge floodings last week.

301
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: Kind of.

302
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: Well WHOA so you and then we had you schedule.

303
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: You emailed to be like, hey, I don't know if

304
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: I'm to make it or not. A hope buck and

305
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: make it. Let's play it by ear and all the stuff.

306
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh man, what happened with Mike?

307
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: It must be pretty pretty bad. So, and I know

308
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: you already were talking about moving. Last time we talked to,

309
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: you did Edinburgh and you were going to come back

310
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: to New York, So like, what what?

311
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 3: What all happened?

312
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: So great news is I didn't drown or get electrocuted.

313
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: Uh so far.

314
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, so we last talked, uh, and the plan

315
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: was so we we had to move at like June first.

316
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: So from June, July, August and most of September we

317
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: had no residents. Reeny and I we traveled most of

318
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: that time. Uh, you know, for a part of big

319
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: part of it, to the UK, around the States, stayed

320
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: with my mom for a few days here and there,

321
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: stayed with a few friend here and there. But then

322
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: great new, great news news happened that Airbnb in New

323
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: York City made it so that you can't just airbnb

324
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: a whole apartment anymore. Because of that, I feel like

325
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: it's some people were just hogging the real estate and like,

326
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, rich richer people, landlords or whatever, they could

327
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: get whole apartments and then just make tons of money,

328
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: way more money airbnbing, you know, Airbnb, like three hundred

329
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: bucks a night for thirty for thirty nights. You know,

330
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: that could be not nine thousand dollars on an apartment

331
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: that would you know, maybe cost two thousand dollars or something.

332
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: And they were like, we don't want that, so they

333
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: made that not a law anymore. And a friend of

334
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: mine who was airbnbing, my friend, he's a nice man,

335
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: not a not a horrible landlord. Just briefly he was

336
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: only renting as well. So he's renting this place for

337
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: the past ten years, living in California now, and he

338
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: was like, I gotta stop airbnbing, so I'm either gonna

339
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: get rid of the apartment or find somebody to sublet it.

340
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, it's almost exactly the perfect time

341
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: for us to take over, you know, somebody's rent or

342
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: lease or whatever. We kept so September twenty second, a Friday,

343
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: a week or two ago, we moved in. And then

344
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: and we're like, great, we live here now. And it wasn't.

345
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: It's like a small studio, a basement studio. And we

346
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: were like, we never planned to live there forever, but

347
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: we did plan to live there for more than a week.

348
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: But then one week later, one week after we moved in,

349
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: I got a driver's license that has the address of

350
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: this place that I lived for one week, I got

351
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 1: a library card. There's a comic book waiting for me

352
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: at the Queen's Library in Long Island City that I'm

353
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: still gonna It's a cool library, so I'm still gonna.

354
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep that library cards where we're gonna end up.

355
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, it we woke up. It started.

356
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: It rained a ton last week and more in September

357
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: in New York than for a long long time. I heard,

358
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: and uh, we woke up. So we got these dehumidifiers

359
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: because the place is it's a basement. It's a little dank,

360
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: and we got these emidifiers and we had two going

361
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: and we woke up to in the morning to the

362
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: sound of running water and we were like, oh, man,

363
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: we hope the dehumidifiers not overflowing.

364
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 4: Oh that means it's working.

365
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 2: At least it's working.

366
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: And then Reni got up first and stepped out of

367
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: the bed and like it's one room and there was

368
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: more than an inch of water on the floor, and

369
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: we were like, oh no, And she's great in a crisis.

370
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: I was just like, oh no, I'm just in the

371
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: fetal position, like new life, who is you know, And

372
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm a very precocious fetus, but like she is her

373
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: her here is just a brief place way that here's

374
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: how she came into this world. Rennie was an only

375
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: child for most of her for all of her childhood,

376
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: and she would and her mom was a single mother

377
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: for most of her childhood and it was like them

378
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 1: against the world. And like her mom like seems very

379
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: comfort her. The way I'll put it is her mom's

380
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: favorite TV show to watch for comfort is The Handmaid's Tail.

381
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: Like that's her her jam. And so Renie like is

382
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: not exactly like that, but in a crisis.

383
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 4: She was like, oh, okay.

384
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: This is kind of exciting. I gotta, I gotta, I

385
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: know what. We have to get our stuff off the ground.

386
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: We have to not we have to make sure that

387
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: no electrons. We have to get things like moving out

388
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: of here into our car into our storage unit, which

389
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: also we couldn't get into because of flooding. Wow, though

390
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: our belongings in the storage unit were protected, they except

391
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: from a horrible smell from the carpet that we just

392
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: finally got in today.

393
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 4: Anyway, so we got out of that.

394
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: We're basically from nine am when we woke up until

395
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: like I think five thirty or six pm, like a

396
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: full work day on Friday, of like legit, just lugging. Hope,

397
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: thankfully not even all of our belongings, some of them

398
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: are still in storage, but just like a bunch just

399
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: like got all of our stuff out of this place

400
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: and then we right now, so I'm reporting to you

401
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: live from our friend, our friend Toby's home. And she

402
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: was like, the you know, a person who is like

403
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: nearby and has a room that we've stayed in before,

404
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: and like it's not you know, not a permanent situation.

405
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,479
Speaker 1: But she was like, come here, and so like the

406
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: disparity between waking up, you know, in a place that

407
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: was like a leaky submarine on Friday morning and then

408
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: kind of.

409
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 4: Like the lap of luxury, a warm bed on Saturday morning.

410
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 4: And then so I didn't know.

411
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: The reason I didn't know the exact schedule was, I'm like, well,

412
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 1: we got to try to. We still had to get

413
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: more things that we didn't get everything out of there.

414
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: We were trying to help save our buddies stuff that

415
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: some of he had a guitar there and a lot

416
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: of books, some of which we sacrificed. Tipocidon, you know,

417
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: but god of the sea, and then Neptune in Roman

418
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: and has a big fork, you know, the guy big, big,

419
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: big giant fork. You're very hungry. You never see him eating.

420
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: But so between Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and today, we ultimately

421
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: we got all our stuff out, I think in the

422
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: past couple of days, and then today we went to

423
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: go see an apartment to hopefully like today's the first

424
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: day that of the rest of our lives. Like, we

425
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: woke up and we got out of here, and we

426
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 1: found a parking spot at this place that we know,

427
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: I found I think I got through.

428
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: I hope I.

429
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: Didn't waste all of my luck on parking spots today,

430
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: because I got like three good parking spots in New

431
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: York City.

432
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 4: But also we just went to see a place. Well

433
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 4: that could also.

434
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: Be calma balancing now from the horrible look of having

435
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: the floods. So it's like, oh, you know, let's give

436
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: them three parking spots to make up for everything's gone through.

437
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 3: And that's a pretty big deal in New York.

438
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a big deal in New York.

439
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely, you know, though I hope it's I hope you're right.

440
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: I hope it's gonna be like continually reverberating and like

441
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: being a positive feedback amplification loop and not like you

442
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: know in I don't know, street Fighter versus X Men

443
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: or something, where like you you store up, you know,

444
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: enough energy for a big move, but then if you

445
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: like with it, you're like, oh, you used it on

446
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: a parking spot. Yeah you should have say that for

447
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: getting that apartment.

448
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 4: Good news.

449
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: The apartment comes with a massive fee, so maybe it's

450
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: balancing out.

451
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 4: But but yeah, so we we got it.

452
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: We got it all done today, Like everything is you know,

453
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: for now. It's it's been a really good practice in

454
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: like people are like, what in just like the temporary

455
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: nature of you know, reality and every like everything everything

456
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: is temporary, like even though we're like where are you

457
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna live forever? I mean, like definitely, you know the

458
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: way that you know that glass is technically a liquid

459
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: that like glass, if you look at like the bottom

460
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: of a window, after the gravity, it pools up down

461
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: there because it's just a very glass is a very

462
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: slow moving liquid, or if it's hot, then it's a

463
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: faster moving liquid. Like if you watch glass blowing, it's

464
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: like dripping all over the place. And like we're all

465
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: we're all like that, we're all, you know, deteriorating at

466
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: some slow rate, like you know, look at a rock

467
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: and look at it the next year, in the next

468
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: decade or a tree or whatever. And apartments are like

469
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: that too, So I mean we do have it.

470
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: It's nice to have.

471
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 4: The illusion of a permanent apartment.

472
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And they're getting awesome matter mentally, that does kind

473
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: of that does kind of like square the box or whatever,

474
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: cause it's like I have to get out of this

475
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 2: temporary place into another temporary place that feels like a

476
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: permanent place mentally that is actually still really actually a

477
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 2: temporary place. But but it does make you feel better

478
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 2: to be like I expect to wake up tomorrow in

479
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: this temporary place again, and that you know.

480
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 5: If it kind of puts your mind kind of at ease.

481
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: Also, I feel like as a couple, that's when you

482
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 2: learn a lot about stuff is when you know things

483
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 2: are happening. Not that it's not that you don't learn

484
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: anything when everything's going well, but like in a panic,

485
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 2: in a pinchion or crisis is just like a muscle.

486
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: You never know if you're gonna have to flex it.

487
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 2: And sometimes you don't really know how people handle stuff

488
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: until it's there, and then you're like, oh boy, you

489
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: have a very different style of conflict resolution or whatever.

490
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 2: And so it's good to know that, you know, Reeni's

491
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: a person that like jumps into action, and also you

492
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: know sperm world kill a well, it kind of balances

493
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 2: itself out because I know, for us, two people can't

494
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: freak out at the same time, so so you kind

495
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: of need like if I'm freaking out, if I'm paralyzed

496
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 2: and feared, then then Karen needs to be the one like,

497
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 2: all right, this is what the plan is, and vice versas.

498
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: So I feel like you learn you gotta learn stuff

499
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: about each other that way.

500
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know.

501
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've ever talked about my love

502
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: for or our love for Paul Riser, the comedian.

503
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 4: He is one of my favorites.

504
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: He was my literally, I believe, in my memory, the

505
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 1: first comedian who's special I ever saw when I was

506
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: like thirteen. I think it came out in nineteen ninety one,

507
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: called like three and a half Blocks from Home something

508
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: like that. He like lived in New York and he

509
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: filmed his special three and a half blocks from his home.

510
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,119
Speaker 1: And there are you just reminded me of two of

511
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: his jokes, and maybe I'll tell them, but I'm gonna

512
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: give you just the spirit.

513
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,120
Speaker 4: Here.

514
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: Here's a thing that happened with me and Renie on

515
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: that Actually I don't remember which day it was, Maybe

516
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: it was the next day when we were moving some.

517
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 4: Of our stuff.

518
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: We were filling my car and so kind of like

519
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,959
Speaker 1: here at number one, like she's great in a crisis,

520
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: and I have a car, Like she's like I know

521
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: everything that we have to do, and I'm like, I

522
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: can drive us, you know what I mean. Like, I'm

523
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: literally like the getaway driver, and she is the master

524
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: strategist of the entire heist.

525
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 4: She's like, here's what we're gonna do.

526
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: She's like, I needed if she could drive, she wouldn't

527
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: need me. So we're I mean, look, I'm gonna I'm

528
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: gonna teacher, but I'm gonna learn some skills too. But

529
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: she operates very well in space, and I operate very

530
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: well in time. But here, so here's the thing. We

531
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: had this foam for our under our mattress or on

532
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: top of our mattress, like a foam for our bed.

533
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 1: It's like a really nice foam that we were getting

534
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: and it like you know, curls up and gets squishy,

535
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: but it looks big like fits. So we tried to

536
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: put it across the whole backseat of the car and

537
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: and it fit. But I couldn't see out out the

538
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: rear view. So I was like, we, oh, no, what

539
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? And she's like, what if we

540
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: just put it like and she just points to a

541
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: different configuration. She's like, down at my feet in the

542
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: passenger seat and it goes up and it'll just be

543
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: over here and I'm like, I can't you ever see

544
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: those illusions where it's like how much water fits in

545
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: the big the tall, big, tall, skinny glass? What about

546
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: the shorts fat well? And you're like, oh, they're they're

547
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: the same, but they look so it looks like one's bigger.

548
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: And she gets it in there and I'm like, how

549
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: did what? And I was just like I don't know,

550
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: And she's like, why don't instead of us saying I

551
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: don't know, why don't we try the thing that I

552
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I'm like, we can try it, but

553
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: if everything's perfect. You were like, why why would I?

554
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: Why would I?

555
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 4: And so.

556
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: That's my question And okay, real, I'll tell you what

557
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: one of the Paul Riiser jokes is basically you did it?

558
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 5: Is like you know, he he does.

559
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: Goes down an extended bit about like one of them

560
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: misunderstanding each other between him and his wife, and like

561
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: then one of them talks the other one down out

562
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: of their tree, and he's like that's all you need.

563
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 4: You just need want of you to be.

564
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: You know, down out of the tree so that you

565
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: can talk them down from their tree, so that you're

566
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: doing that, not of Eddie, like you know, the goodness

567
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: of your heart, but more just so that you know

568
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be up in that tree and you.

569
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 4: Need them down on the ground so that they can

570
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: help you out of your tree when you're up there. Again.

571
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, true, Yes, it's not the same.

572
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 6: But one time, when it's behind the toilet, the thing broken,

573
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 6: We're like water started flooding in here, and and it's

574
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 6: hilarious because in my head all I heard was the

575
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 6: Bennie hen music because it was like we were both

576
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 6: trying to figure out what was happening. Everybody was calm,

577
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 6: but everybody was kind of doing their own thing. Like

578
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 6: he was like, how do I turn the water off?

579
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 6: And I was like, how do I get the water

580
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 6: off the floor? You know type of thing. So we're

581
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 6: both kind of moving kind of at the same time.

582
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: We had space, and we had to call the maintenance

583
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: people to let them know it's like a water emergency

584
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 2: because if we can't turn it off, like it's just

585
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: gonna flood everything. And so I'm on the phone with

586
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 2: the people or whatever or did I tell you to.

587
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 3: Call I can't one of us is on the phone.

588
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 3: It must have been me.

589
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 2: I think I was on the phone because Karen was

590
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: just like her brain was racing and she's like asking

591
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: me questions to ask the people on the phone that

592
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask when I'm gonna hold and all this

593
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: type of stuff. And it was like, I think at

594
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 2: some point I was like, all right, here's the thing.

595
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: You panic about the floor, I'll panic about the water,

596
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: you know, like like like you panic in this room,

597
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go panic by the water thing to see

598
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: if I can figure a way to turn it off.

599
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: And together we ended up getting the water off the

600
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 2: floor and getting the water turned off so it wouldn't

601
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 2: just keep going. But yeah, I feel like that's what

602
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: partnership is. And and not that you ever wish trouble

603
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: on any relationship, but sometimes you're like, man, I guess

604
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: you kind of need a little test, you know, like

605
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 2: that that's the byproduct of it that is good. A

606
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: good thing is like to get that little test to

607
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: be like, all right, you know what, we will be

608
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: all right if it's some real shit happened. Yeah, you know,

609
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 2: we we adulted this weekend. That's an adult thing. Yeah.

610
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 2: To do it really was because it was just like

611
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: one of it would not stop. I was like well, yeah,

612
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying even like Mike in the flood and him

613
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: and RENI, that's like a very adult thing. Like when

614
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: you're a kid, that's the thing you call your parents about,

615
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: but it is when you're an adult you're like, fuck,

616
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: I'm the parents, Oh god, the adult.

617
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I have five things I want to say.

618
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:22,080

694
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: I told him that on this day in twenty ten.

695
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: He wrote to me on Facebook and said, you are

696
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: between most deaf and nas on my iPod.

697
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 4: You've made it.

00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: And that was the year my first album came out.

699
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: So I sent that to him and he wrote back, ha,

700
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: now you're between most deaf and NWA. So moving up

701
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: to this Okay, still working out to think of Mike Cavlin.

702
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what I think. But nah, that that's cool

703
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,760
Speaker 2: that you were doing. How how hot.

704
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: Did the water get in that apartment?

705
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 2: And what happens after because you know, I don't know

706
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 2: the way it works, but for your friend whose apartment

707
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: that is, like, what happens after that?

708
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: Do you have to sell it? Is it got to

709
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 3: get redone somehow?

710
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 4: Yeah?

711
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: So great, great question and generally great news. For both

712
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: of us because he doesn't own the apartment, he's renting it.

713
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 4: He was subletting it as to us.

714
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: He I think the thing that we so when I

715
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: moved in, he was just like, I need to give

716
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: them thirty days notice if I'm going to not have

717
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: it anymore. So if you would give me thirty days

718
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: notice if you want to leave, And so we.

719
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 4: Agreed to that.

720
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: But due to this extenuating circumstance and the fact that

721
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: the humidity was like overpowering for us, like I felt,

722
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: we both felt like it was adding to our like congestion.

723
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 4: I don't know if there was like mildew or mold

724
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 4: that we were trying.

725
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: To get out of, like we were willing to put

726
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 1: in the work, but kind of like you know how

727
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: they say, like a healthy relationship takes work. But the

728
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: work of a healthy relationship isn't you have to deal

729
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: with abuse and like you know, and so I'm not

730
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: saying that this was an abusive apartment, but the work

731
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: of making an apartment nice and livable, like isn't you know,

732
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: day in day out, like from morning to night, trying

733
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: to get humidity down to a livable level, and like

734
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: that's not my friend's fault, like you know, the it's

735
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: been a wet, wet month and summer and who knows,

736
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: like he hasn't been to the apartment in some years

737
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: as well, but so we and they did send cleaners,

738
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: like it the way that the water was getting in

739
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: was like under the door, like we it was a basement,

740
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: so it was like it was a sort of door

741
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: to the outside and then there's like steps going up,

742
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: which meant that for it to get me like inches

743
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: just streaming and I have like a short ren he

744
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: took a short video I can send you guys of

745
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 1: it just like pouring in to make an inch on

746
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: the floor.

747
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 4: Like it must have been that.

748
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: The the grates, like the sewer grates backed up so

749
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: much because like the you know, the subways were put

750
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: out a commission.

751
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 4: Uh so yeah, so we we were like we want

752
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 4: to leave as soon as possible. Yeah, and like, look,

753
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 4: we lived here for a week.

754
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: We made a deal with you, Like we haven't fully

755
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: he's you know, negotiating with the people who own it

756
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: to figure out what his you know, responsibility is or

757
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: what the deal is, and like will you know, we

758
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: don't we don't want to leave him high and Dry.

759
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, but like you know, high and Dry kind

760
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: of gets a bad wrap after this past weekend. I'm like,

761
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mean by wouldn't mind be left eye and direct.

762
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: But so yeah, we are. He he gets out of

763
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: his lease, or maybe it's not even a lease anymore.

764
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: We move on and we deliver his guitar to him

765
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 1: sometime in the future. But yeah, so I don't know

766
00:37:16,920 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: what that they sent in cleaning crew like right away,

767
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: like you know, it stopped pouring through. They like vacuumed

768
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: out the water. They definitely like the floor. It's happened

769
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 1: like twice before in the past ten years, like when

770
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: there was a hurricane.

771
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 4: I think, so like one time when my friend was

772
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 4: living there, so he he knows how it sucks.

773
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: That's good, but yeah, I mean they probably got to

774
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: put in new floor. Also, just in the closet, there's

775
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: like you could open up. It's not supposed to be

776
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: able to be open, but there's like a ledge that

777
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: you could like pull open and it's just like the

778
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,879
Speaker 1: sewer in it. So yeah, that wasn't That wasn't our

779
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: favorite part of New York.

780
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 2: You gotta love never sleep And now.

781
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: The city that has apartments with sewers in the class

782
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: that you got. It never sleeps cause you're like, can

783
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: we get some Is there gonna be an alligator?

784
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: You can't sleep in the humidity.

785
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 2: But that's you know, you take a bite out of

786
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: Big Apple, the city of dreams, and.

787
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 3: Where else can you do?

788
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 5: Stand up?

789
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 3: You know that as often as you do, you know,

790
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 3: take the good with the bad.

791
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: And also like New York was, I remember being in

792
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: an apartment that had cause nothing up there, not nothing,

793
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 2: but nowhere I stayed had a C like central a

794
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 2: C like we have here in North Carolina buildings, and

795
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 2: there was one that had a radiator in it that

796
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: just hissed in the middle of night.

797
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 3: And I'm a I need cold too. I like cold.

798
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: I don't mind it being cold. That was like the

799
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 2: least problem of New York. Everybody's like, you go, you

800
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 2: go up there, You're gonna be cold. It was like,

801
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 2: finally some fucking cold, let's go. But I would I

802
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 2: would tell, like I was tweeting about it on Twitter,

803
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 2: like hey, what the fuck? You know, Like it's sided here,

804
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, fifty degrees outside, but I'm sweating

805
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 2: sitting on the couch and they're like, oh yeah, you

806
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: just open up the windows. And I was like doing

807
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 2: deep Dove Googles and Wikipedia and stuff, and you find

808
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 2: out that like back in the day, they like because

809
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 2: of disease and stuff, they made it so that they

810
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,439
Speaker 2: expected you to build your apartment or wherever you lived

811
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 2: and just have the windows open, like that was just

812
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 2: a thing.

813
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 3: You just always have them open.

814
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 2: You're not, you know, you're not, it's gonna get too hot,

815
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: but it's like cheaper to heat the whole building that way.

816
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 2: But then you open up a window and even though

817
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: it's three degrees outside, that fucking window somehow will balance

818
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: out the ninety degrees coming off the radiator. And they're correct.

819
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: But also New York, that's the city of dreams.

820
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, I yeah, back, I mean back in

821
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: cave person times, back in the time of Adam, and

822
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: if they just used an air conditioner like God intended,

823
00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: of course, but uh what was Oh yeah, when I

824
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: lived in Boston, I lived in a basement in a

825
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: brownstone and if I remember correctly, like the house was

826
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:15,239
Speaker 1: on like one heating you know, measure, So it was

827
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: either going to be livable in the basement and boiling

828
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: hot on the top floor or livable in the top floor.

829
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 1: And legit, I had like shampoo and conditioner breeze.

830
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 5: Oh now.

831
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: I know how glass can be a liquid, but you

832
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,640
Speaker 1: didn't know how shampoo can be a solid.

833
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: No I did not.

834
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 4: Yes, just you know you can still use it.

835
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 3: But was a shampoo head and colders? Oh god, oh man,

836
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 3: that that. But I mean that's New York, you know.

837
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 2: I feel like everyone is a little bit like gotta

838
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 2: be a head on the swovel and be ready to

839
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 2: be on the move. You were just in Edinburgh though.

840
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,200

841
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:10,600

00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: that's it.

846
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 4: Long story short. So we were there.

847
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 1: We went to England first and did a lot of shows.

848
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: I drove for the first time on the left side

849
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: of the road. I won't say the wrong side, but

850
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: I will say it'd be better if they did it

851
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: on the right side.

852
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 5: And I know that was adjustment and adjustment since we

853
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 5: drop it.

854
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 3: Really it really was.

855
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 4: I did it.

856
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: I went real slow and was happy when I was

857
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: on like a divided highway, you know. For a long

858
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: time to be like we're all over here, we're all

859
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: doing this. Just think left left, left, only like once

860
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: or twice did I like make a turn and then

861
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: be like, oh I gotta get I gotta the other one.

862

00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 4: worry about it, cheerio.

865
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: Okay, did you use did you use a navigation like

866
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 2: app like the that tells you, like left, make a

867
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 2: left on this street or you know, uh, yeah I was.

868
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,240
Speaker 1: I was using like my Google Maps on my phone,

869
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,839
Speaker 1: and there it would like you know, I look at it,

870
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: and also like I would it would sometimes be like, yeah,

871
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 1: they had a lot of roundabouts there. I don't know

872
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 1: if that's or like telling people like traffic circles or

873
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: rotaries or what have you. And like so many like

874
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: way more than overpasses, you know what I mean, like

875
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: for overpasses, like we it's way.

876
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 4: Like there's so many roundabouts.

877
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, and so it's nice to just like be like, okay,

878
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: you go this way, follow follow the path that it's it's.

879
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 4: On your little screen and that'll that'll be helpful.

880
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, it was RENI was a good guy to

881
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: be like, you're very close over here, and I'm like, oh,

882
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: but I thought, yeah, I'm just I don't want to yep, You're.

883
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 4: Right, absolutely, it's not yep. Why why did I? Why

884
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 4: would I? So? So we drove.

885
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: I did a bunch of a couple different like festivals

886
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 1: while I was there, probably like maybe seven shows in England,

887
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: and like the week and a half before.

888
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: Wait, do you have to get a license to drive there?

889
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 2: Or like, how's that one?

890
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 4: You can?

891
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: I think if you you need a special like international license,

892
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: if you come from a place that doesn't use the

893
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: same alphabet, so if you use the same if you

894
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: can read the same letters on a street sign, then

895
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: I did not need to get like an American driver's

896
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: license was accepted, like to rent a car and yeah.

897
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 6: So you can read stop in the yield and all

898
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 6: that stuff versus somebody who goes wait a minute.

899
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 2: Well, Also, the other thing I wanted to note before

900
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,240
Speaker 2: you go on is that roundabout.

901
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 3: Can be a pathway or destination or location.

902
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: No, like, oh yes, round about that tree? Yeah, round

903
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 2: about to egg to know what an X on? Anyway,

904
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: you can continue the story. I just couldn't help it.

905
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 4: I enjoy.

906
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:21,520

919
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: if you look at this, that was by vote Vets

920
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: on October first, and Vinny quote tweeted it and said,

921

Speaker 1: scarlet Joe Hanson looking ass And he does look like

922
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: Scarlet Johansen. And the reason I saw it is that

923
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: later Vinny did a joke apology apology for everybody misunderstanding

924
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: the vernacular thinking that he was calling the beloved president

925
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: an ass.

926
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

927
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:28,000

00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 4: you know what I mean?

929
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw, I saw the apology because he does

930
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 2: these like fake funny apologies all the time, but it

931
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: was it's time to heal was yes, and then of

932
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 2: course a screenshot notes ap apology.

933
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love Anny. He's so funny.

934
00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:53,400
Speaker 1: Anyway, So roundabout, uh, we were round about here in

935
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,040
Speaker 1: our story.

936
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 2: It can also be a time roundabout.

937
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's a there's a lot of prepositions that

938
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 1: work for time and space because time space is i mean,

939
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: the language knows. Like here's classic joke that takes advantage

940
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: of this. Somebody farts in a bar and somebody is like, how.

941
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 4: Dare you fart before?

942
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:20,320
Speaker 2: My wife?

943
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 4: He says, I'm sorry, I didn't know she needed to.

944
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: So that joke is based on the fact that before

945
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: could mean in front of or in front of in

946
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: space or in front of in time. That's a smart

947
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: that's a smart joke. So so we loved England. We

948
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: stayed with We stayed at a couple like inns. We

949
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: stayed with one guy who's producing one of my comedy shows.

950
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: Oxford a really cool town. We went to a bunch

951
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: of do you know what have you heard of? Charity shops?

952
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of what they call thrift shops in the UK,

953
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: but every one of them there's like so many all

954
00:46:58,320 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: over the place, and some of them are like on

955
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: the same block, there could be like five, and they

956
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 1: all donate money. They all are like I think nonprofits

957
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: for or raising money for different causes, so they'll be

958
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: like cancer UK or like Save the Children or ox

959
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 1: spam and just like you can be like whichever one

960
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 1: you want to give your money to. And they just

961
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: got like good if especially if you're in like a

962
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 1: high end like a luxury area, like they get rid

963
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 1: of good stuff like I got I got a new wardrobe.

964
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:30,760
Speaker 1: I got like pants that fit me and look great

965
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: for like five pounds, which is like seven bucks six bucks,

966
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: And anyway, I'm not but you're not asking about what

967
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 1: kind of can't sales. So so yeah, so we loved

968
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: we And there was also the whole United Kingdom is

969
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:53,360
Speaker 1: really good with marking allergens in food, so like everywhere

970
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: doesn't have vegan stuff for gluten free stuff, like Rene's

971
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: allergic gluten. We're both vegan, but like every menu they

972
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: mark off things they're like this is gluten, this is soy,

973
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: this has celery, this is like this has mustard in it.

974
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: In case, that's one of our top fourteen allergions here

975
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: there's like fourteen allergions I think the whole UK and

976
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: maybe Europe is just like real good at like, so

977
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 1: we were able to eat and be like confident in

978
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,240
Speaker 1: that we wouldn't get ill like and that we could.

979
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: We were taken care of. The comedy shows were fun.

980
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: What if I was like comedy.

981
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,959
Speaker 2: Who but.

982
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 3: Oh bomb for a month it was terribly so.

983
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: Then we were in Edinburgh from like the very end

984
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: of July. I think we got there on the thirty

985
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: first and left on August twenty nine, so almost a

986
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: full month in Edinburgh. Did my most the show that

987
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: Reenie and I created together, which has been up until

988
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,040
Speaker 1: now called Imperfect, but we think that that name is

989
00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: not quite as perfect as it can be. We are

990
00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: going to move forward and hopefully be recording it this

991
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:59,120
Speaker 1: coming year and call it before we get started, and

992
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: so before we've started on before we get started, we

993
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: called it Imperfect. Now before we get started is what

994
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: we'll do once we get started. And so we did

995
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: that show pretty much every night of the festival, with

996
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: one one night off in the middle, so like twenty

997
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: five twenty six performances and I did probably I probably

998
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: performed like a few other sets a week, sometimes a

999
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 1: few a day. Sometimes like there were literally shows starting

1000
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: at maybe ten or eleven in the morning and going

1001
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: you know every hour, hour and a half in at

1002
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: almost every venue through to like some of them midnight, one, two, three,

1003
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,959
Speaker 1: four in the morning, like like thousands of shows every

1004
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: day and at least somewhere between two and three thousands,

1005
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: I think officially, how.

1006
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 2: Big is like the is it like the whole city's

1007
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: having a comedy festival or is it like, oh, in

1008
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 2: these five blocks or like how much traveling are you

1009
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 2: doing even to go to all the shows and stuff?

1010
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say definitely way bigger, closer to the

1011
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: whole city than just five blocks, Like I mean there

1012
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: there might be like neighborhoods, Like it's like the central

1013
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: area of the city, but the central area of the city.

1014
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: Like there were definitely like shows at a comedy club

1015
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: called the stand Over there that was like a mile

1016
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: from like the the more central hub. But there's like

1017
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: it's definitely spread out, like but you could you could

1018
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: if nobody was there, which isn't the case, but if

1019
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: nobody was there, you could like walk like the outskirts

1020
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: of it in probably like certainly like an hour, you know,

1021
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: like it's like within a couple miles.

1022
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 2: Right, Still, yeah, that's pretty big. Yeah, yeah, I had

1023
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 2: never asked that question before, and I've no comedians that have

1024
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 2: gone over there, but it just never crossed on mine

1025
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: until now. But yeah, like in my mind, it was

1026
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: always like a few city blocks or something like a

1027
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 2: Convention of Comedy, And now I'm like, oh no, no, no,

1028
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: that's that's big as hell.

1029
00:50:56,120 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, like literally more than two thousand shows, so you

1030
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: know picture two thousand. I mean I guess that's not

1031
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: two thousand venues, but that could be. It's probably like yeah,

1032
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: yea hundred, hundreds and hundreds of venues for sure. Like

1033
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: everything becomes a venue. They turn the whole college. There's

1034
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: like the University of Edinburgh. Probably my venue was in

1035
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: it in like in a biology classroom, but it was

1036
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: like built like you know, stadium seating kind of like

1037
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 1: or like you know, like I was on the stage,

1038
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 1: but then they went like up to the back and

1039
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: it's like a hundred seats and uh yeah, like every

1040
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: room that could be have a performance had a performance,

1041
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: And just like.

1042
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: Do you think that's something we'd ever see here in

1043
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: the United States, like a something that big and dedicated

1044
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 2: comedy for that long.

1045
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: It's it's heard and it isn't. It's also not just comedy,

1046
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: it's like it's the theater as well magic like any

1047
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: oh improv absolutely and like we saw two really beautiful plays,

1048
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: one completely serious, one serious and really funny. They have

1049
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: like clown clowning is like the art form that exists

1050
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 1: there in mass like it's huge, and here it's almost

1051
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: like it's hardly a thing that people know. Like you

1052
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 1: picture a clown, you're like Hong Kong Kid's birthday right like.

1053
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 4: But but the.

1054
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: Kind of clown I'd say the person who represents the

1055
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of clowning that is done there the most famously here.

1056
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

1057
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 1: And in fact, this person who I'm about to name

1058
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: studied with this clown, Philip Gaullier, I believe, who taught

1059
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: some of like the the clowns over there as well.

1060
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: And it's a Sasha Baron Cohen, I would say, Sasha

1061
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: Baron Cohen is the kind of the kind of like

1062
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 1: the thing that he does is alig, the thing that

1063
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 1: he does is bora, like that is clowning. That is

1064
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: a performance art that that is like there, I'll I

1069
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: for clowning, and like some of them are good for

1070

00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: you a link. You can just you know, google it,

1086
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: look it up on YouTube. But it's fifteen minutes. It's

1087
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: like three different Oh.

1088
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,280
Speaker 4: I was trying three.

1089
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: Trying to find it, and then just started auto playing.

1090
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: Before don't do don't watch it right now, listen to me.

1091
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so he I saw him do. I

1092
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: saw him do a version of it live. I saw

1093
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: him do an hour live, and then I shared. Renie

1094
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: wasn't there, but I shared with her this fifteen minute

1095
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 1: clip that we just we've shared it with When we

1096
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 1: go visit, people were like, let's watch it.

1097
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 4: It's just you can watch it over.

1098
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't have to watch it at all,

1099
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: but you can watch it once and then I feel

1100
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: like you'll fall in love. It's just so funny, especially

1101
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 1: how much Simon Cowell does not like it to begin with,

1102
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: and by the end there is like a redemptive arc

1103
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: for Simon Cowell in this clown's work. I'll tell you

1104
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: one other clown. There's a New York Times article written

1105
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: about this woman, Julia Massley. I don't know if I'm

1106
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: pronouncing that right. She's partners with Vigo Ven. She is

1107
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: I think Estonian and she her show. I'll I'll tell

1108
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: you a couple things from her show because I assume,

1109
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm I can only imagine it's different every night. But

1110
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: she comes out dressed in a kind of there's kind

1111
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:32,479
Speaker 1: of a creepy vibe. Like she kind of like has

1112
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 1: walks the line between like, you know, joy and like

1113
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: horror at times, like if somebody does something or says

1114
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: something that she disagrees with, or she'll be like no,

1115
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, but if somebody does something like she's like yay,

1116
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: and they like play. Somebody in the back is playing

1117
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: music that like exemplifies like the joy or the horror.

1118
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 1: And so she comes out and she has a microphone

1119
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: that's attached to a mannequin's leg. Not important, but there

1120
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: are reasons. But so she holds that microphone to an

1121
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 1: audience member and she says to them problem and then

1122
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 1: it is the audience member's role to respond with a

1123
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: problem that they have. And like her show is at

1124
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,359
Speaker 1: like one p thirty in the morning, so frequently at

1125
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: the show that I was at, somebody was like I'm tired, and.

1126
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 4: She's like, oh, come here.

1127
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: She goes to a door on the stage, pulls out

1128
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: a blanket and a pillow. She's like, lie down on

1129
00:56:24,400 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: the stage, sleep as much as you want, come anytime.

1130
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 1: And somebody else she's like problem, and they're like, I

1131
00:56:30,760 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: don't have any money. I don't have enough money. She's

1132
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 1: like oh, and she gestures to the audience. She's like,

1133
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: ask them for money. And then and she's like, can

1134
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: I have some money? And people start giving her change,

1135
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: and she's like and the clown is like, and what

1136
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: is your banking information? Like over there they don't have venmo,

1137
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,560
Speaker 1: but like the equivalent, but she's like, what is your venmo?

1138
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 4: I will tweet her vemo?

1139
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: If everyone vemo's you one pound, then you will have

1140
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:55,240
Speaker 1: one hundred pounds.

1141
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 4: That'll be good. That's good. And then here's two more.

1142
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: One a guy I was like, my problem is I

1143
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: have a crush on a girl.

1144
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 4: I don't know if she likes me. And she's like,

1145
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:07,880
Speaker 4: is she here? He's like no. He's like does anyone

1146
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 4: here look like her? And he's like she kind of does.

1147
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 4: And she's like, here, talk to her. What would you

1148
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 4: say if you were not scared?

1149
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: And then they have like a meaningful, poignant conversation in

1150
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: the moment, and like he gets her phone.

1151
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,920
Speaker 4: Number and then the last one, I'll tell you a.

1152
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: Woman she's like problem and she's like, my dog is

1153
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: fourteen years old and I just I think he's I'm

1154
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: sad that he's.

1155
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 4: Gonna die soon.

1156
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: And she's like, oh, I'm so sorry. Does anyone here

1157
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: look like your dog? And she's like that guy kind

1158
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,959
Speaker 1: of does. And she's like, what.

1159
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 4: Would you say to your dog if you were here?

1160
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: And then she like earnestly like That's the thing about

1161
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: clowning is like it's the perfect like combination of like

1162
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 1: the absurd with like this really sincere like honesty, and

1163
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: it's like so it was beautiful. It's like everyone should

1164
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: like it's just like not even I don't know where

1165
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: people can go to see it other than you know,

1166
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: like they get you know, they might get jobs as actors,

1167
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: they might get you know. But in Europe it seems

1168
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: like it's more and in the UK it's more, it's

1169
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: more prevalent.

1170
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, in America, I think the only clown shows we

1171
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 2: have are the Republican National Debate.

1172
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 6: That's a different type of type of clown and going on, well,

1173
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 6: but it is a clowning I notice might sound silly,

1174
00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 6: but do they get like degrees and things in this

1175
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 6: because yes, because it does sound like something that if

1176
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 6: you have people that teach it with such deep roots,

1177
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 6: like it's a clown school a clown.

1178
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1179
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: So there's this guy, Philip Gaullier is the teacher for

1180
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: a lot of these clowns, like including Sasha Baron Cohen

1181
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: and I or maybe yeah, I think that's right Philip. Yeah,

1182
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: he's a French clown and pedagogue. He looks fun and

1183
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: there's like a couple of articles about him.

1184
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 2: Oh.

1185
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: The New York Times wrote an article about him last

1186
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: year called the Dumbleedoor of Clowning, and The Guardian wrote

1187
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: a piece called Inside Philip Golier's clown School. And he's

1188
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: like very like in a funny way, like dismissive of

1189
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: stand up, even though some of the people coming to

1190
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: him maybe are stand ups to begin with, but it's

1191
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: just like it's slightly different, it's slightly more. Anyways, that

1192
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: was just like some of the most resonant, memorable experiences

1193
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: I had.

1194
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 4: We're seeing those shows.

1195
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: There's another guy named Josh Glantz, I think g l

1196
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: anc But doing my show, also doing our show was

1197
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: great and also a good learning experience. That some cultural differences.

1198
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,600
Speaker 1: Like there's one piece in the show where I like

1199
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: say that I'm bad at accents and do an Australian

1200
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: accent so badly that it comes out not as an

1201
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Australian accent but as a completely different accent. And in

1202
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: America it's very clear that that's what I'm doing. But

1203
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: there an Australian man came up to me once after

1204
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: I'll look for you, don't this is part of the show.

1205
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 4: I'll give you a brief snippet.

1206
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: Hope please laugh at the show when you see the

1207
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: show in full when it exists. But I'm like, so,

1208
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm not very good with us with the with accents.

1209
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: So that here's what this Australian woman said. She's like, Hey,

1210
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 1: I'm Australian overhee for good about it. You know you're

1211
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: talking to me, I'm talking Australian, okay.

1212
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 4: Mamma me. I know that's a spice the Australian okay.

1213
01:00:37,200 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 2: So that day is terrible.

1214
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 4: They don't like the New York Italian accent.

1215
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: Once we figured it out, Reenie really cracked the code

1216
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: of what was happening and she's like, if we I

1217
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: so I just ended up starting with Mama Mia, because

1218
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 1: they're like, we understand Italian Italians, but New York Italian

1219
01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:00,400
Speaker 1: was not. We think far enough from my own accent

1220
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: for them to it seemed like it was me really

1221
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: earnestly failing to do an Australian like.

1222
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 2: He today men.

1223
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what they were thinking, right, but but

1224
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: truly after I was like a o oh wait, you know,

1225
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 1: not for nothing, but I'm Australian over here, and this

1226
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: Australian man came up to me after.

1227
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 4: It was shown, It's like, mate, that was not a

1228
01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 4: good Australian accent.

1229
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's I earnestly apologized.

1230
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 2: That's that's funny because yeah, their head, they got a

1231
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 2: process too.

1232
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 3: They're already processing one accent.

1233
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 2: So then when you're going into another thing, it's almost

1234
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 2: like if it doesn't zagging exactly what like, you can

1235
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 2: only the only way you can impress him is to

1236
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 2: actually do an accent that is extremely spot on.

1237
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 1: At that point, yes, I absolutely would have needed to

1238
01:01:54,480 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: do that, but I can't do that exactly. So so

1239
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: other than that that, that was like a really interesting

1240
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 1: learning experience that hopefully when I record the hour won't

1241
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: specifically be a problem because I'm plenty to do it

1242
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: in the States. But other than that, like the show,

1243
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 1: I had one one big the biggest cathartic artistic experience

1244
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: put in the art in cathart was I'll, yeah, I'll

1245
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: grown up my own joke in the very telling of

1246
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: the joke itself.

1247
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 4: That's how high level I am, all.

1248
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Right, So there was one one of my Sometimes the

1249
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: audiences were small, sometimes they were big, Like they were

1250
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 1: always like at least around thirty people in a place

1251
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: that sat one hundred, like on a Monday or Tuesday.

1252
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Wasn't always full on the weekends. It was usually h

1253
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: like majority full on the maybe the most. I think

1254
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: the night that we officially had the most people there.

1255
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 1: It started great. It was a Saturday night. It was

1256
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: like the third week of there's often like a dip.

1257
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: You know, you're doing the show every night for weeks

1258
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 1: and weeks, and I it started great, and I was like, oh,

1259
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: this is good. I didn't know that the show. The

1260
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: place was completely packed, the lights are in my face.

1261
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 4: I just knew it was a good Saturday night crowd.

1262
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 4: They were digging it.

1263
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Then somebody coughed a lot and I started talk to

1264
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: him a little bit, and I was like, and it

1265
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: sort of I got like out of the groove and

1266
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: lost a little momentum. And then I felt like they

1267
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: lost my moment and.

1268
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 4: Then it was me. It was it's my responsibility.

1269
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: But I felt like in that moment, I was like,

1270
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: oh no, it happened or them or what it was

1271
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: like new crowd, who dis you know? And so after

1272
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: that show, like Reenie and I talked and she was like, yeah,

1273
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: like I mean because also there were still people after

1274
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: that show, even though they were quieter for a lot

1275
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: of it, there were still people. There was like it

1276
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: was beautiful, it was meaningful, it was moving, it was funny,

1277
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,000
Speaker 1: like because a lot of the audiences there a lot

1278
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: of people there aren't there for comedy, because it's not

1279
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: just a comedy festival. Sometimes they are there for theater

1280
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: and they're just they call it taking a punt. They're like,

1281
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I'll just try I'll try a show, you know, like

1282
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 1: it's happening now, I've got another show in an hour.

1283
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:09,920
Speaker 4: This one is the perfect time and place I'll go

1284
01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:10,439
Speaker 4: see it.

1285
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: So you get a lot of people seeing you who

1286
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: have you've never who've never heard of you, that don't

1287
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 1: know anything about you or the show, and so we

1288
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 1: like really adapted things eventually to be like, Okay, this

1289
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 1: is what's gonna happen. It's gonna be weird, but it's

1290
01:04:23,120 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: on purpose.

1291
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 4: You know. I'm me and ye're You're taken.

1292
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: Care of it's gonna be I would like start the

1293
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: show kind of like that, like if you don't know

1294
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 1: what I am, then you know, you might need a

1295
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,720
Speaker 1: moment of adjustment. It's not just my accent, you guys,

1296
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I don't know if you okay. So

1297
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: after that show, it was like truly, if nothing else,

1298
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 1: I really learned, like the very first time I ever

1299
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 1: I understood what acting was like, you know, I acted

1300
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 1: in like school plays or whatever. I've gone on auditions

1301
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: as a comedian. You get sent out, but like I

1302
01:04:58,520 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: just do it as me, you know, I'm just like

1303
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: read the lines. I'm like, I don't I'm not I'm

1304
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: not Christian Bale, you know, I'm not Gary Oldman. I'm

1305
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: not like disappearing into a role. I'm like, hopefully you

1306
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: want a guy that's like me in Boston once, like

1307
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: this tall athletic, you know, funny, like goofy, like physical dude,

1308
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and I went out for the same role in a

1309
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: commercial as accountant and he got it.

1310
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 4: I'm like, what's going on, man, you know?

1311
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: And so you know, Lewis Black once famously wrote a

1312
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: pilot and didn't get cast as himself in it. But

1313
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:35,919
Speaker 1: so that's me ooh, that's my that's my list black

1314
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: impression pretty angry.

1315
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 4: So oh.

1316
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: So when I went out for like a sitcom pilot,

1317
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 1: and I like, I really thought it was funny, and

1318
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 1: so I like hired an acting coach and like, I've

1319
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: talked to other people since who are like friends who

1320
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: take acting lessons and act seriously, and I'm like, oh,

1321
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: like literally, I have to sit down with this thing

1322
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: and like every line of it, every word I say,

1323
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 1: I have to have an intention for. I have to

1324
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: have an understanding of I have to like every moment.

1325
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,919
Speaker 1: And it's like I'm kind of spoiled because I don't

1326
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: feel like I don't actively do that with my comedy,

1327
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 1: like for some of my comedy, Like it's just like, oh,

1328
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: I thought this thing, so I'm saying this thing, like

1329
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't have to think about what my intention is,

1330
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: like I am my intention, like, but the interesting thing

1331
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: so that zoom back to Edinburgh. Like when I'm doing

1332
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: a show, I was thinking of it before this one night,

1333
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:43,440
Speaker 1: before this Cathart moment. Sorry sorry who catharted somebody? Not

1334
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: my bad, my good.

1335
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 3: I think in that case, whoever whoever felt it.

1336
01:06:48,720 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: It, I love it. So whoever heltered skeltered, you know,

1337
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: and like sometimes you don't need con tent if you

1338
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: just have for isn't the shape of things enough?

1339
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 2: I think whoever could start it, whoever felt it expel? Ha,

1340
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 2: there you go.

1341
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: They there's a lot going on here and I am

1342
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: here for it all so and now here is what

1343
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: I what you're here for the very point I'm trying

1344
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: to make. Before that night, I really thought of the

1345
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 1: show as in some ways done. I'm like, you know,

1346
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,280
Speaker 1: there's tweaks here and there, Like I'm in the moment.

1347
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, if something new happens, But I'm like, look,

1348
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,600
Speaker 1: the show is the show like a TV show, a movie.

1349
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 4: Like it's like if you like it, you like it.

1350
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:33,959
Speaker 4: If you don't, you don't.

1351
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: But when it's a live show, I like, I'm a

1352
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: part of that. I can there's people who might have,

1353
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, a good time if I really sell it

1354
01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: and not as good a time if I don't really

1355
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: sell it.

1356
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 4: But I was.

1357
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking this actively or explicitly, but I was.

1358
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 1: I realized afterwards. I'm like, oh, I even if the

1359
01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: audience isn't loud, you know, isn't good, isn't my favorite, Like,

1360
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: it's still my obligation and to my benefit to do it,

1361
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: to perform it, to like make it the best thing.

1362
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 4: Like it's not just math. They didn't like it. It's like,

1363
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 4: well I I.

1364
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 1: Didn't do it, and you know, I think that's a

1365
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 1: good lesson to really learn twenty one years into doing

1366
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 1: comedy that the lesson is sometimes it can be good

1367
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: to try.

1368
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 2: Yes, and yes, you are part of the you're part

1369
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 2: of the equation. Yes, and it makes a big difference

1370
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 2: in you know.

1371
01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 6: Even me and Roger talked about that when we do

1372
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 6: our live shows, were like, well, we put.

1373
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 2: It out there.

1374
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 6: If people come, if it's five hundred people to one

1375
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,640
Speaker 6: thousand people or five people, we're going to put on

1376
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 6: a show like always, like it's a packed house, just

1377
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 6: for the simple fact that you want the people that

1378
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 6: came to know that you actually care about the craft

1379
01:08:58,160 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 6: or whatever you're presenting to them.

1380
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,960
Speaker 2: I saw, so you like, you can learn a lot

1381
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 2: from that because you can learn like that yourself is

1382
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 2: an instrument. You don't have to do things the same

1383
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 2: way all the time. And I think especially if you

1384
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 2: were going to do something like a festival where you're

1385
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 2: essentially trying to do the same show over and over

1386
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 2: and over again, so you can learn from the show

1387
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 2: and how to do but that I think that's that

1388
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 2: awakening or that other level of something where you're like, wait,

1389
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 2: if I play the note this way against this response,

1390
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 2: and then you start playing with it, more becomes to

1391
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: me doing it over and over again. In a lot

1392
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 2: of people's brains, I think they would think perfection is

1393
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 2: doing the same thing every time the same way. That's

1394
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 2: that's the true professional, right the person that you know

1395
01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 2: the note is always the same length, it's always the

1396
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 2: same da da da. But you know, when we saw

1397
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 2: Beyonce this year, you can see she was like, oh,

1398
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 2: I'm changing something tonight just to show y'all. I can

1399
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:02,280
Speaker 2: you know, And people share different clips on different stops

1400
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 2: and they have completely different experiences when it comes to like,

1401
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 2: oh she's saying it this way. I went to two

1402
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 2: different other shows that she did it differently, and uh,

1403
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 2: I think, yeah that, like you know, especially with Mike

1404
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 2: being like fifty robot, I can see that being an

1405
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:18,759
Speaker 2: epiphany at this stage.

1406
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I think we all the point that

1407
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: we've all gleaned from that is, Yes, I am like Beyonce.

1408
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,799
Speaker 2: And the Beyonce comedy is what I say, Mike Kaplin,

1409
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 2: he's between Beyonce and.

1410
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 1: My I love it, like truly, truly like everything that

1411
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: you said, absolutely and also like I for the final week,

1412
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: so that was like I had one week left after

1413
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: that cathartic experience and I did every single show.

1414
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 4: I like sold the goddamn fuck out of it.

1415
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I I loved it and because

1416
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, like I there's a thing that

1417
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 1: George Carlin said once it's I believe I remember hearing

1418
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,959
Speaker 1: it quoted. He said, like too, he says to the audience,

1419
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 1: you're here for me. I'm here for me, No one's

1420
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:22,839
Speaker 1: here for you. That's hilarious and it's great and it's

1421
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:26,839
Speaker 1: funny as a joke, and it's also not my experience fully,

1422
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 1: but like, I am here for me and I'm here

1423
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: for you, but I have to in order to be

1424
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: here for you. I have to be here for me.

1425
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: I have to do it as me, for me, my

1426
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:42,920
Speaker 1: version of Fubu.

1427
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 4: I have to amthem a yeah.

1428
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: And and it was I had so much fun doing

1429
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: the show more like I, you know, REENI and I

1430
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 1: were just in the Strand bookstore yesterday or the day before.

1431
01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 4: And she likes acting books.

1432
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 1: She like she is a student of like the the

1433
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: concept of acting, and like she's like, I don't think

1434
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 1: she is not a professional actor.

1435
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 4: I'm not a professional actor.

1436
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: She is I think, in some ways more of a

1437
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,400
Speaker 1: natural or nurtured actor than I. Like she has like

1438
01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: put time and effort and thought and work into it.

1439
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: And there was like a book where it had like

1440
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 1: I forget if it was her book that she was

1441
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: looking at write one of these acting books. Was like

1442
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 1: whatever role you're playing, like be excited about it. Be

1443
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: like I get to play like the traumatized whoever, or

1444
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:38,559
Speaker 1: I get even if it's a sad role, like oh man,

1445
01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 1: that excitement, Like oh I get to and like I

1446
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: get to be me.

1447
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 4: I get to play the role of the guy who wrote.

1448
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: This stuff and thought these things and has these ideas

1449
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 1: and wants to communicate them.

1450
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 4: And like the lights are hot, and I would.

1451
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:57,200
Speaker 1: I would sweat through my shirt so much every night,

1452
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: like a T shirt with like a button down shirt

1453
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 1: over it. And I have this urr ring. I don't

1454
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: know if we've talked about it. You know, tracks my

1455
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,600
Speaker 1: sleep and tracks my activity during the day. If I

1456
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: go for a walk, it's like, oh, is that some

1457
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: moderate exercise? When I truly it tells me that podcasts

1458
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: are aerobic exercise for me, this will be.

1459
01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 3: A work you've been listen, you're working it out right,

1460
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:21,760
Speaker 3: Yes you are.

1461
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 4: I would.

1462
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 1: I would on the it would be like a moderate workout.

1463
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 1: Every time I did the show for an hour, I

1464
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: would burn I don't know, four hundred calories or something.

1465
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: And so it was so so valuable to like be like,

1466
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: of course, stupid, Like I know, I mean, I know

1467
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: there are ways that Like one time a couple of

1468
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,640
Speaker 1: years ago, I was doing a show and I was like,

1469
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: they loved all the other comedians.

1470
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 4: I'm the headliner. Why isn't it.

1471
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: I was like they didn't like my first riffs right,

1472
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 1: and I felt like I got on my I got

1473
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 1: in my head and like afterwards, I was like, yeah,

1474
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:55,679
Speaker 1: I don't know why the audience.

1475
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 4: I guess they like they like people in Kansas City

1476
01:13:58,080 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 4: more than they like me.

1477
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: But Reenie was like, you know, you kind of like

1478
01:14:03,280 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: turned away from half the audience and like kind of

1479
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 1: like went into yourself as the people you weren't facing,

1480
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:10,640
Speaker 1: like they kind of were like, oh is this not

1481
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: even you know, for like you know, she's she had

1482
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: this real It's really helpful to have somebody outside of

1483
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: yourself who you know knows you and loves you and

1484
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: can also you know, offer have we ever talked about

1485
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: the concept of there's the uh that when you want

1486
01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: if you want advice, the cheerleader, the coach, or the

1487
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 1: just the the silent comfort. Uh So, like I would

1488
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 1: ask for Reenie to after the show cheerleader the next

1489
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: day if she had ideas coach, you know. And then

1490
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 1: sometimes it's for like, you know, if somebody is like

1491
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: coming to you with oh my god, I'm going through

1492
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 1: this really horrible thing, like oh, like it could be

1493
01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 1: really helpful to be like, oh, do you want me

1494
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 1: to offer ideas like as a coach, do you want

1495
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: me to just be like everything's gotta be good, you know,

1496
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: like be a cheerleader, or do you want me to

1497
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: like literally just receive it and say nothing. And those

1498
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: are like three very valuable modalities of helping, and you

1499
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,360
Speaker 1: might want one at one point and one at another.

1500
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:14,919
Speaker 1: Another version of it is would you rather be helped, hugged,

1501
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: or heard? And so it's nice to have this this

1502
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: loving partner.

1503
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 4: Oh I'm sorry, please go on, no.

1504
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,640
Speaker 3: No, no, I was gonna say. I also would like to

1505
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 3: talk about the news real quick.

1506
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: Oh you'd like to be heard on that?

1507
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:35,760

1512
01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 2: Halloween decorations that people call the fire department because they

1513
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:14,640
Speaker 2: thought their house was on fire. Oh I got to

1514
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 2: see this. Yeah so this, uh, this is what this

Speaker 2: is the still shots up here, it's wow.

1516
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 5: Oh the house does look like it's on fire.

1517
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 2: And then this is I think they.

1518
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,839
Speaker 6: Oh so they got like the moving stuff that actually

1519
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 6: wets like flames.

1520
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,560
Speaker 5: Yes, people aren't gonna pick your houses on fire.

1521
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:50,599
Speaker 1: Man, I mean, if you're gonna, you're also really tempting

1522
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 1: the the boy who cries wolf kind of faith here,

1523
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: like if that house ever is on fire, now the

1524
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: fire fighter, they're gonna die.

1525
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 2: We're not calling the cops. You almost have to add

1526
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,679
Speaker 2: like music to it or something to make the complete

1527
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 2: the joke, you know that, like the Ohio players fire,

1528
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 2: you know, fire or because I feel like if everyone

1529
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,759
Speaker 2: in your neighborhood isn't in on that joke, just everyone

1530
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 2: driving down that street isn't in on this joke, you're

1531
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:23,280
Speaker 2: gonna get a fire department called like eight times a day.

1532
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,600
Speaker 2: But it does look amazing though, what it is beautiful?

1533
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 3: What a what a dangerous concept? You know?

1534
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: The only part that didn't seem to be on fire

1535
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: was the roof, Ruth, the roof, it was not on fire,

1536
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: not on fire.

1537
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:39,680
Speaker 6: It was not.

1538
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 2: I think America has this controversial opinion here. I think

1539
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 2: America might have too many guns.

1540
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:47,959
Speaker 5: Oh you don't.

1541
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 4: Say, did you know what brings this up?

1542
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 2: The TSA. The TSA reportedly intercepts almost twenty unauthorized guns

1543
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 2: a day at airports.

1544
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 6: What yes, unauthorized, which means they didn't go through the

1545
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:04,719
Speaker 6: proper channels, meaning you.

1546
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Can have authorized guns go through the checkpoint, Yes you can,

1547
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 2: which is already too many guns in America. And then

1548
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 2: there's an addition that twenty twenty unauthorized guns that come through.

1549
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 2: And it's not like everyone gets arrested or anything either,

1550
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 2: it's just what happened.

1551
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:22,679
Speaker 4: Do they take them and not give them back?

1552
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 2: I believe, Yeah, they take them and they just don't

1553
01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 2: give them back, mailed them and stuff.

1554
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 4: Then good, then more do that more?

1555
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 2: Everyone just we need let's get tsa Let's get them

1556
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 2: the grocery store.

1557
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,599
Speaker 4: That's the answer. Yeah, my god.

1558
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 1: You know.

1559
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 5: And that's one hundred and forty a week.

1560
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, they say, I wonder, Yeah, I was just real quick.

1561
01:18:45,640 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 2: They said they found over five thousand guns last year,

1562
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 2: and or yeah, they found over five thousand guns at

1563
01:18:54,200 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 2: airport security, which is a significant incre he's from, how's

1564
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 2: that an increase? Oh? I see what they're saying. The

1565
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 2: year's not over. They've already found five thousand guns. Oh,

1566
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:12,479
Speaker 2: last year they found six five hundred and forty two guns.

1567
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 3: But they're basically saying.

1568
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 2: Oh, we're gonna at this rate, we are significantly ahead. Wow.

1569
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 6: And people really think they can get on planes because

1570
01:19:23,200 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 6: they have to. They have to be loaded a certain way.

1571
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:27,680
Speaker 6: A lot of times that stuff has to go like like,

1572
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:28,599
Speaker 6: we have too.

1573
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 3: Many guns in America.

1574
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 2: It's just as like I'm not even saying that from

1575
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 2: the obvious point of view of like, you know, everyone's

1576
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 2: getting killed, but that people don't forget X like shoes

1577
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 2: that often, they don't forget their purse as often as like,

1578
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 2: they don't probably find twenty persons a day, but they

1579
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 2: found twenty guns.

1580
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1581
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,559
Speaker 1: I mean also I think you're allowed to you're still

1582
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,080
Speaker 1: allowed to take a purse on a plane. But other

1583
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:02,080
Speaker 1: than that, yeah, so they probably find a few two things.

1584
01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: One good news, Even if it was only five thousand

1585
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: for the whole year, I think that means that then

1586
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,600
Speaker 1: all the guns will have been found in just a

1587
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:14,440
Speaker 1: short six hundred million.

1588
01:20:14,240 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 4: Years at the mathfight.

1589
01:20:15,840 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 1: But I think if it's five thousand a year, that

1590
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,559
Speaker 1: means five hundred thousand and ten years. So it's a

1591
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: million every twenty years. Uh, and there's like about three

1592
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:28,280
Speaker 1: hundred million guns, so we do Oh no, I'm so.

1593
01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 4: Sorry, it's six billion years.

1594
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 2: Millik so close. But you know what all we have

1595
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 2: to do is get every gun owner a trip a

1596
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:41,680
Speaker 2: flight somewhere and yeah, you know, some of them will

1597
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 2: have to give like some really big frequent flyer miles

1598
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 2: because they're gonna need they got not Some of them

1599
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 2: have a lot of guns, but we just keep flying

1600
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,760
Speaker 2: in places and then confiscating their guns. And what I

1601
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,719
Speaker 2: was saying was not that the TSA sees more guns

1602
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 2: than persons. I'm saying I feel like less than twenty

1603
01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 2: people every day lose their person the airport. Twenty people

1604
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:07,280
Speaker 2: unintentionally lose their guns every day that we know, and

1605
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 2: that is the ones TSA catches, right, there's probably a

1606
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 2: ton that they're.

1607
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 3: Just like, fucking man, thirty seventh gun today, Just take it.

1608
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 2: I don't care.

1609
01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:18,920
Speaker 1: Oh but uh yeah, yeah, the I think pretty smart

1610
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: in the comments says, uh, to be fair, sometimes you're

1611
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: so used to carrying it you forget it's on you.

1612
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 2: That's why.

1613
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 4: And that's that.

1614
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Like I was wondering if some people might be like,

1615
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: they're probably not going to get them all, because I

1616
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 1: feel like there's studies that show but they don't get

1617
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: them all. They're like either miss, I forget if it's

1618
01:21:37,240 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 1: one in four or three and four, but it's like

1619
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: a it's a large they can't. I mean, they just

1620
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 1: they get bleary eyed. They're just like looking all day

1621
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: and not finding.

1622
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,799
Speaker 2: And that is why I say too many guns, because

1623
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 2: how many guns do you have to have to forget

1624
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:56,479
Speaker 2: you have a gun? Like the whole point of everyone

1625
01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 2: who talks about having guns is always this one mindfulness

1626
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:02,960
Speaker 2: that every gun under is supposed to possess like I'm

1627
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 2: extremely safe, it's locked up, my kid will never get

1628
01:22:06,080 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 2: to it. And now we're at the hey man, sometimes

1629
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 2: you forget you have a thing that can take someone

1630
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 2: else's life.

1631
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,160
Speaker 3: So long as I just forget you got it on you.

1632
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:16,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that we should have a new list

1633
01:22:16,720 --> 01:22:18,840
Speaker 1: like the if you if you forget your that you

1634
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: have a gun, then you don't get to have any

1635
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: more guns.

1636
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 4: So instead of they do not Fly list, it's they

1637
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 4: do not Die list. It's got to help you.

1638
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 2: The no die list.

1639
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:26,599
Speaker 3: I'm with this idea.

1640
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 2: And then like the other part of it too is

1641
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 2: like you know cause it's like, oh, it can take

1642
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:34,679
Speaker 2: someone's life and you're forgetting like, uh, yet you even

1643
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 2: own it, that you even have it. And then some

1644
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:39,800
Speaker 2: people are getting it through meaning they are getting it

1645
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,879
Speaker 2: on the plane, like because if they get it through TSA,

1646
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,479
Speaker 2: they're like we don't catch every gun. Sometimes we're on

1647
01:22:46,520 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 2: the plane with somebody has a gun. It's just I

1648
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 2: don't know, man, too many guns in America. And according

1649
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 2: to Mayor Eric Adams or is I like to call

1650
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 2: him officer Mayor Eric Adams. See, he said he was

1651
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 2: headed to Mexico because there's too many migrants coming to NYC.

1652
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,679
Speaker 2: And he he wants to go down to the border.

1653
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:12,919
Speaker 3: I don't know what's wrong.

1654
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 4: With them, Eric Adams.

1655
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: Why he you know you know that I had Eric

1656
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: Adams on my podcast once.

1657
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 3: Why well, first of all, I'm not surprised by that.

1658
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 2: I feel like Eric Adams would come on any place

1659
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 2: with a microphone, if.

1660
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: You know, if ast Yeah, And so this was before

1661
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:34,559
Speaker 1: he was mayor. He was the president of the Borough

1662
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: of Brooklyn, and I believe at the time somebody reached

1663
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:42,280
Speaker 1: out to me from his office because they, I think

1664
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:46,320
Speaker 1: saw that I am a vegan comedian podcaster and he

1665
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:50,440
Speaker 1: is a vegan man, and I think was maybe promoting

1666
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 1: a like, you know, plant based lunches in certain Brooklyn schools,

1667
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 1: which I was like, yeah, that's great, and it's you know,

1668
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 1: like any I was just having this conversation about Obama

1669
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 1: with a friend the other day, like Obama as a

1670
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 1: human being very cool, like you know, seems cool. And also,

1671
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, as a person with progressive politics, you might

1672
01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 1: be like did a lot of things or was part

1673
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 1: of a system, was the head of a large part

1674
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:23,479
Speaker 1: of a system that did things that you know, killed

1675
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 1: various people, that oppressed various people that you know that

1676
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:28,799
Speaker 1: wasn't so cool.

1677
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 4: But we're like, but seems cool. Not that cool guy

1678
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:35,320
Speaker 4: part of a not cool system.

1679
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 1: And I feel like, I mean, you know, the news

1680
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,720
Speaker 1: that we see about Eric Adams these days, like a

1681
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: lot of the not cool system stuff going on, but

1682
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: like human being was cool guy.

1683
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think Adams feels to me like.

1684
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:58,000
Speaker 2: A guy who wanted to be famous but didn't really

1685
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 2: have a thing he could do, right, So then he

1686
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 2: was like I can be mayor because he does a

1687
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 2: lot of famous stuff like this, like this is a

1688
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 2: stunt type of thing.

1689
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go.

1690
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,800
Speaker 2: Down the border like he's a rapper, you're in New

1691
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 2: York and then what are you gonna just hey guy?

1692
01:25:13,800 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 2: Like I think part of the quote was like he's

1693
01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,679
Speaker 2: gonna tell people not to come like it's not too

1694
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 2: good in America. You should turn around. It's like that

1695
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 2: feels like a wrestling stunt. Like that doesn't feel like

1696
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 2: a mayor. It's more trying to pass a policy that

1697
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:28,760
Speaker 2: just feels like turn the cameras on watch this.

1698
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 5: You know, it's more to that than me.

1699
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 6: See, I we have diplomats and people whose whole job

1700
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,719
Speaker 6: is to relay this message from the president.

1701
01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 5: Like this is not your job.

1702
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 6: You're wasting taxpayers money for a free trip to Mexico.

1703
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,240
Speaker 6: I do not understand. You're in New York City. Pay

1704
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:46,679
Speaker 6: for your own trips to Mexico.

1705
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just out there. Yeah, he's like such a entertainer,

1706
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 2: kind of want to want to be an.

1707
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 3: Entertainer guy, like go to the club, Mayor go.

1708
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,920
Speaker 5: Like photo ops and stuff I.

01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:01,360
Speaker 3: Got you know ya with reffers Mayor.

1710
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 2: Like he's and like it's just like he seemed like

1711
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 2: he wants to be a celebrity.

1712
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: To me, well, the man politicians, it's such a weird

1713
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 1: thing because when you're not, I mean, most of the coolest,

1714
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 1: best you know and probably like why most of the

1715
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:26,680
Speaker 1: wisest people like don't run for office, don't want to

1716
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 1: run for office, like begrudgingly will you know lead or

1717
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 1: offer guidance, be like okay, you twisted my arm, Like

1718
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 1: this is what I would do, and it's you know,

1719
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: it should be on a basis of like you know,

1720
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: other people get to volunteer, you be like everyone else

1721
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 1: votes for I mean, if you run, if you want

1722
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 1: to run, you can't do it. But it just has

1723
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: to all be like everybody nominates like I think this

1724
01:26:54,240 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: person would actually do a good job because they're like, well.

1725
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 4: I have no idea how to do it, but so

1726
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 4: it is.

1727
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,919
Speaker 1: I feel like now I'm I saw Seinfeld at Gotham

1728
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: like maybe four or five years ago, and he was

1729
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 1: doing a bit about that I was about the presidency

1730
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,280
Speaker 1: and just like I think Trump was president at the time,

1731
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:18,880
Speaker 1: and he wasn't like making it about Trump specifically, but

1732
01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: he was like, I feel like anyone anyone who's like

1733
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:25,439
Speaker 1: I don't want to be in charge of everything, you know,

1734
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 1: like anyone's like, huh, you want the job where you're in.

1735
01:27:29,360 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 4: Charge of everything? And if you're like yeah, that sounds

1736
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 4: like me.

1737
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 2: That's funny because like I think there's uh, there have

1738
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 2: been like two types of people to people that are

1739
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 2: like too smart or whatever to be like I want

1740
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 2: to be president just because it's like it's a thankless job.

1741
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,839
Speaker 2: There's no, there's no We're never gonna have a president

1742
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 2: that isn't responsible for everything America is on a global scale. Right,

1743
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 2: So you like, who wants to be responded? Who would

1744
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 2: want to be the person who's responsible? Because at that

1745
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 2: point you have to be such a pragmatist that you're like,

1746
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 2: if you're even if you're a.

1747
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 3: Good person, you're just being pragmatic.

1748
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 2: You're like, Okay, do the thing that kills twelve people,

1749
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:12,480
Speaker 2: but not the one that kills fifty people. Like that,

1750
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 2: That's why that's what it's going to look like for

1751
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 2: most people, right, And so what then you have the

1752
01:28:18,360 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 2: guy who's like, I don't want to do it because

1753
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how to do.

1754
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 3: It, right, yeah, person?

1755
01:28:24,920 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 2: And then you have the person it's like I know

1756
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 2: how to do it, I just don't want to do

1757
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:28,799
Speaker 2: it because y'all.

1758
01:28:28,600 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 3: Would hate me, right.

1759
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,320
Speaker 2: I feel like Donald Trump was the first person that

1760
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:35,040
Speaker 2: was both of those. He was I don't know how

1761
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 2: to do it, and I want to do it, you

1762
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like like it wasn't you see

1763
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,200
Speaker 2: you even need to be a I don't I don't

1764
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 2: want to do it because I don't know how, or

1765
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to do it because the responsibility is

1766
01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 2: so he was the first one. Fuckers like, I do

1767
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 2: want to do it, and you should vote for me

1768
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 2: because I don't know how to do it.

1769
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like you know how to do it, and

1770
01:28:56,360 --> 01:28:57,120
Speaker 4: I'm like you.

1771
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. You know what the problem is people that

1772
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 2: know how to run the government. But speaking of running

1773
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 2: the government and breaking news, that just happened right before

1774
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 2: the show. Oh no, what happened. Senator Kevin McCarthy is

1775
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 2: no longer the leader, or not senator, but congressman.

1776
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 3: He's no longer the leader of the House.

1777
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 5: Oh that was.

1778
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:20,559
Speaker 2: I have a lot of worries about that.

1779
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:22,040
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Mike, Yes.

1780
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:28,839
Speaker 6: Because the thing is that man wanted that job so bad.

1781
01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 5: They said that he actually.

1782
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,519
Speaker 6: Stands out and like shake hands and all that stuff,

1783
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:37,240
Speaker 6: like he loves that goddamn job. Like that is his

1784
01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 6: motherfucking gem is that job. That's why he took them fucked.

1785
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 5: Up conditions for that job.

1786
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 6: Because he want Anybody else would have told him to

1787
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:50,639
Speaker 6: kiss They asked, I don't want this job. He wanted

1788
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,719
Speaker 6: that job, and he knew the second he did something

1789
01:29:53,960 --> 01:29:56,559
Speaker 6: ten people didn't like, they was gonna get his ass

1790
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,800
Speaker 6: out of there. So this was bound to happen. It

1791
01:29:59,880 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 6: was bound happened because they were gonna actually sit and

1792
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 6: let the government shut down. He was like, we can't

1793
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,639
Speaker 6: do this, y'all. We can't let the government shut down

1794
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:08,719
Speaker 6: for ten people.

1795
01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:09,719
Speaker 5: This makes no sense.

1796
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:13,400
Speaker 3: And the government deal is only for forty five.

1797
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 5: Days, right, so we're gonna be right back.

1798
01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 2: He'll be right back here. But as of right now,

1799
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 2: there is no Speaker of the House, and it's chaos.

1800
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,880
Speaker 2: Shout out to or Leader of the House, and shout

1801
01:30:23,880 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 2: out to Nancy Pelosi, who never seem to have these problems.

1802
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 2: No no matter how divided politically the country got, she

1803
01:30:31,400 --> 01:30:34,880
Speaker 2: still would scrape together whatever she needed to get a

1804
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 2: bout the legislation passed, especially if it was something during

1805
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 2: the Bidy that men where like and Obama and men too,

1806
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 2: where it got so divided and lopsided.

1807
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 3: If they had the numbers somehow, she.

1808
01:30:47,479 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 2: Would find a way to get that shit passed, whatever

1809
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,400
Speaker 2: compromise you need to make, because you know, it's more

1810
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 2: important that the shit gets passed than to Republicans win

1811
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 2: Republicans not wanting to govern has been a theme that's

1812
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 2: been going on. To me, I would trace it even

1813
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:08,840
Speaker 2: back somewhat to Clinton, but definitely the Obama era, Republican

1814
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:13,400
Speaker 2: became we're just trying to stop everything. We're trying to

1815
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:16,200
Speaker 2: shut the country down, cause as much pain as possible.

1816
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully people blame you, and then we'll find some type

1817
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,400
Speaker 2: of path through grievance to continue to win office and stuff. Correct,

1818
01:31:24,240 --> 01:31:26,800
Speaker 2: And of course they would like to have done that

1819
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,680
Speaker 2: under Biden, but Biden had Pelosi, thank gouddnance for the

1820
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:35,679
Speaker 2: first two years or whatever. But Republicans there's a vein

1821
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 2: of them that doesn't want to govern. They don't want

1822
01:31:38,400 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 2: the responsibility, they don't want the job, the actual work

1823
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:47,599
Speaker 2: of it. They've just given into that. And it doesn't

1824
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:50,240
Speaker 2: have to be all of them, but it's a significant

1825
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 2: enough group to where to them, today's a win. And

1826
01:31:55,320 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 2: I think that's because they tried to help a scorpion

1827
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 2: across the river in Trump that inspired a lot of

1828
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 2: other scorpions. They're like, y'all giving out frog back rods,

1829
01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 2: and now they just get it halfway across the river,

1830
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:12,080
Speaker 2: getting stung every fucking time, and it as petty as

1831
01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:14,200
Speaker 2: it is, you know, to like celebrate it and stuff,

1832
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 2: it's also deeply scary for the country.

1833
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:20,880
Speaker 3: Yes, it's gotten this out of control over there.

1834
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:24,479
Speaker 2: You don't even have enough control over your party to

1835
01:32:25,400 --> 01:32:28,000
Speaker 2: attempt to govern. So I don't know what's going to

1836
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:30,719
Speaker 2: happen from this point on. But if they let because

1837
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 2: it's not all of them, it's honestly just somewhere between

1838
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 2: like probably ten to twenty maybe maybe let's say thirty

1839
01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:41,880
Speaker 2: at most that are like these true like obstructionists trump

1840
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:45,400
Speaker 2: grievance for Polkans. Other ones are like, we should govern

1841
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:47,880
Speaker 2: just because we got the job, Like it's.

1842
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 5: Let's let's do what.

1843
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:52,880
Speaker 2: They now they were probably pass it. I wouldn't want

1844
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 2: just to be fair, but they would govern because that's

1845
01:32:57,040 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 2: just what they were supposed to do. These the people

1846
01:33:00,240 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 2: like Matt Gates, they're not here to govern, they're not

1847
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 2: even here to be politicians. Really there they're like to

1848
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:09,080
Speaker 2: me like Eric Adams, where it's like, oh, they got

1849
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 2: cameras over there, and they're just going over there to

1850
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:15,080
Speaker 2: be get on camera. And so I think that's the

1851
01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:19,519
Speaker 2: most discouraging thing. But this is something we predicted for

1852
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 2: years here because I said, once you give in to

1853
01:33:22,400 --> 01:33:27,799
Speaker 2: that like Trump constituency and you start placating them instead

1854
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:30,760
Speaker 2: of like saying, hey, we're not there's more of us

1855
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 2: than you.

1856
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 3: We're not gonna do.

1857
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 2: We'll rather lose power in the country than align with

1858
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,640
Speaker 2: you and let you tell us what to do. They've

1859
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,160
Speaker 2: now been bullied into this position, and it's gonna be

1860
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 2: hell interesting to see what happens next.

1861
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 1: There's a guy I like on Twitter. I don't know

1862
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:50,800
Speaker 1: if he's still there, but his name, his handle was

1863
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:55,200
Speaker 1: Julius Goat, I believe, and he had this He posted

1864
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 1: this thing once that I think about every once in

1865
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 1: a while, where he said, it's like a conversation. Take

1866
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:09,600
Speaker 1: meet me halfway, says the unreasonable man. And so the

1867
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 1: reasonable man takes a step forward, and the unreasonable man

1868
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:16,120
Speaker 1: takes a step back and says, meet me.

1869
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 2: Halfway right exactly. The next thing, you know, you're all

1870
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,120
Speaker 2: the way over on this other side of thing. And

1871
01:34:22,200 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 2: I think, you know, a lot of it still goes

1872
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 2: on because I think what happens my big not conspiracy,

1873
01:34:31,920 --> 01:34:35,320
Speaker 2: but I think the emotional transfer energy has to happen.

1874
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:38,680
Speaker 2: So what happens is that we blame politicians as these

1875
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:41,400
Speaker 2: avatars like they're doing this to us, but the rest

1876
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:45,080
Speaker 2: of us are all reasonable and normal and who why.

1877
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:45,559
Speaker 3: Would they do that?

1878
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 2: But unfortunately, to me, I think some of these people

1879
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 2: that have put us in this lurch are representing the

1880
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,400
Speaker 2: kind of people that are voting for them, Yes, that

1881
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,360
Speaker 2: are like, like, you don't vote for Marjorie Taylor Green

1882
01:34:58,520 --> 01:34:59,639
Speaker 2: twice on accident.

1883
01:34:59,720 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 3: You know at some point you you want her to

1884
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 3: do things like this.

1885
01:35:04,479 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 2: And I just don't know how a Republican Party, if

1886
01:35:07,960 --> 01:35:10,640
Speaker 2: they don't oust these kind of folks, they're gonna end

1887
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:13,760
Speaker 2: up capitulating to them in a way that is to

1888
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:16,400
Speaker 2: me even more dangerous than this Donald Trump. Like Donald

1889
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 2: Trump's one dude, but he's kind of like a dude

1890
01:35:18,960 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 2: that don't really want to do that job. So like

1891
01:35:22,080 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 2: like like he's very much like I know, what is

1892
01:35:25,840 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 2: the point I'm supposed I'm supposed I hate trans people

1893
01:35:28,479 --> 01:35:31,640
Speaker 2: or no, Okay, I guess I hate Like some of

1894
01:35:31,640 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 2: these folks are very they do believe this shit, yes,

1895
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:39,200
Speaker 2: and so going along with that stuff. It's almost more

1896
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 2: dangerous to see a group of them come to power

1897
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 2: than to see like one man who's who's a loose

1898
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 2: cannon in power, not that I you know, like Donald

1899
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 2: Trump in anyway.

1900
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 6: And I think for me was very very frustrating, is

1901
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:59,760
Speaker 6: that the general populist how can I say this, most

1902
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:03,720
Speaker 6: of the general popula is they get caught up in

1903
01:36:03,800 --> 01:36:07,240
Speaker 6: things that are unrelated to what's actually happening right in

1904
01:36:07,280 --> 01:36:11,040
Speaker 6: front of their face because people are gonna be cheering

1905
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:13,839
Speaker 6: this stuff. But the reality this is sad. The government

1906
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 6: still needs to run. Somebody actually needs to be over this.

1907
01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:20,040
Speaker 6: They did that shit show a few months ago where

1908
01:36:20,040 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 6: it took them eighty five hundred hours to vote him

1909
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:25,320
Speaker 6: in there, which means now we're gonna have to go

1910
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:29,519
Speaker 6: through that bullshit all over again, which means guess what,

1911
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:32,879
Speaker 6: shit's not gonna get passed? She because because when that happens,

1912
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:36,400
Speaker 6: nothing in the government functions, nothing in the government runs.

1913
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:38,760
Speaker 6: And I don't think people understand that I want my

1914
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:40,120
Speaker 6: government to run.

1915
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 2: I don't want It's just me. I don't want to

1916
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 2: be in.

1917
01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:45,080
Speaker 5: A country that's lawless ness.

1918
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 2: I don't want that.

1919
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:48,840
Speaker 6: I want the federal government to do his job and

1920
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:50,200
Speaker 6: do what it's supposed to do.

1921
01:36:50,240 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 2: Is it perfect?

1922
01:36:51,080 --> 01:36:51,160
Speaker 1: No?

1923
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 2: Can it be better?

1924
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:52,920
Speaker 5: Yes?

1925
01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 6: But I can demand that when it is working. I

1926
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:59,120
Speaker 6: cannot demand that win. It's in disarray and dysfunction.

1927
01:37:00,120 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing as a country. But also I low key

1928
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 2: love that the Democrats did not bail his ass out,

1929
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,680
Speaker 2: because you know, they could have tried to vote to

1930
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 2: keep him in power. They were like, no, this is

1931
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:14,800
Speaker 2: y'all's problem, you know, And for ones, I'm like, that's

1932
01:37:14,840 --> 01:37:17,320
Speaker 2: a tough thing to do to beat. But it's kind

1933
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 2: of like if a kid's throwing a tantrum and you

1934
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 2: like pick them up off the floor, and then eventually

1935
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 2: it just becomes like I reward you for throwing tantrums.

1936
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 2: I feel like that's what we've been doing for like

1937
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:31,639
Speaker 2: a decade at least. And for once they were just like, no, man,

1938
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 2: y'all are embarrassing yourselves. You have the numbers, get your

1939
01:37:35,560 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 2: shit together. Why why do we have to be the

1940
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:40,760
Speaker 2: ones that save the country but also get blamed for

1941
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 2: being weak whenever we try to pass something that with

1942
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:47,200
Speaker 2: some level of compromise because we have to, we're always

1943
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 2: the party that loses somehow by being the adult. I like,

1944
01:37:50,880 --> 01:37:54,480
Speaker 2: I like being like, no, you look terrible. Figure that out,

1945
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:57,680
Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens. I don't know who what

1946
01:37:57,720 --> 01:38:00,240
Speaker 2: their plan is if I'm sure, Matt Gate, So some

1947
01:38:00,280 --> 01:38:03,360
Speaker 2: of these people are gonna run to be speaker at

1948
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 2: this point, and yeah, welcome to that Welcome to.

1949
01:38:06,800 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 1: That ship show, guys, Right, Mike, I was just gonna say,

1950
01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:15,559
Speaker 1: I think it's okay to love a.

1951
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:23,560
Speaker 4: Sad child. Yeah, I mean I'm not a parent myself.

1952
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 4: So this is, uh.

1953
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:27,559
Speaker 2: What is love? Right?

1954
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:32,120
Speaker 1: Because like love, oh sure, boundary Sometimes love is like I.

1955
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:34,919
Speaker 2: Gotta teach you that you can't just throw a tantrum

1956
01:38:34,960 --> 01:38:37,559
Speaker 2: every time, you know, like it's gotta we gotta have

1957
01:38:37,600 --> 01:38:39,840
Speaker 2: some we gotta like part of my job is to

1958
01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 2: get you out out into the world where a world

1959
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:46,320
Speaker 2: doesn't pick up and hug people throwing tantrums all the

1960
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 2: time they make them president.

1961
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: But let me let me share this. Uh have we

1962
01:38:52,720 --> 01:38:55,479
Speaker 1: ever talked about Byron Katie? Do you know that woman

1963
01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: Byron Katie is for short, I'll say, a spiritual tea.

1964
01:39:00,280 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 1: She wouldn't call herself that. People have would say, maybe

1965
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 1: she's enlightened. She had a moment where she woke up

1966
01:39:06,880 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: and she would say, I just now feel like I

1967
01:39:09,200 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 1: know the difference between what hurts and what doesn't. And

1968
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 1: she helps people see that sometimes, like by a series

1969
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:21,679
Speaker 1: of questions that she sort of formulated to help people discover,

1970
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: like what is true? Can you really know that it's true?

1971
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:28,000
Speaker 1: And like to unravel the stories in our heads? And

1972
01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:31,680
Speaker 1: so she was on Oprah's podcast some years ago and

1973
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:34,240
Speaker 1: Oprah is like, how do you?

1974
01:39:34,560 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 4: How do I do this?

1975
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:39,120
Speaker 1: And the question that Oprah asks is like, let's say

1976
01:39:39,120 --> 01:39:41,400
Speaker 1: a family member comes to me, like maybe a distant

1977
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:43,639
Speaker 1: family member, and is like, can I have one hundred

1978
01:39:43,680 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 1: thousand dollars? And I don't want to give Let's say

1979
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to give them one hundred thousand dollars,

1980
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 1: but I feel bad because like I could, but I

1981
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:56,120
Speaker 1: don't want to open the I forget the exact context.

1982
01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:57,639
Speaker 4: But that's something like that.

1983
01:39:58,360 --> 01:40:02,519
Speaker 1: And Byron Katie's like, okay, let's let's role play, and

1984
01:40:02,880 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 1: she's like, I'll be you Oprah, and you be you

1985
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 1: asked me for one hundred thousand dollars.

1986
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:09,599
Speaker 4: It's like, can I have one hundred thousand dollars? Oh? No,

1987
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 4: but but it wouldn't cost you. I mean it was

1988
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 4: it's hardly anything to you, and I think it would really.

1989
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 2: Help me out, would help you?

1990
01:40:15,040 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 4: Oh that's yeah. I hear that that is real.

1991
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 1: That sounds Yeah, I bet I, I I really I

1992
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 1: any other way that I can support you, I'll do

1993
01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:26,360
Speaker 1: my best. But and I don't remember exactly what she said,

1994
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,160
Speaker 1: but it was just like the loving no, you know

1995
01:40:29,200 --> 01:40:32,799
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like that doesn't like a seed doesn't

1996
01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:36,920
Speaker 1: give in to uh to the tantrum that might be

1997
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:40,080
Speaker 1: being thrown. And so you know that's I guess that's

1998
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:43,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We have to be like further Republicans like,

1999
01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:46,680
Speaker 1: oh no, I won't vote for you Kevin McCarthy, like

2000
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:50,400
Speaker 1: I do. It's like, yeah, you you were probably better

2001
01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 1: than what might be about to happen, but yeah, you

2002
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:55,280
Speaker 1: can't have my money.

2003
01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, fix your shit.

2004
01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 2: Especially it's especially difficult when I think for Democrats, even

2005
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 2: on our side, we blame them sometimes for things that

2006
01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:08,800
Speaker 2: I think can be a bit unfair. But it's like

2007
01:41:09,080 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 2: you're It's like when I had a job at Wendy's,

2008
01:41:11,760 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 2: there was a guy who never fucking showed up on

2009
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:16,040
Speaker 2: time and just did whatever he wanted to. It was

2010
01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:18,760
Speaker 2: a shitty employee, and I showed up on time every

2011
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:22,640
Speaker 2: day because I'm for fucking professional. You know, if I'm

2012
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 2: sweeping floors on sweeping floors the best I can, right,

2013
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 2: So I show up every day and then I would

2014
01:41:27,360 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 2: get it. They would get an attitude with me, and

2015
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:32,160
Speaker 2: then eventually they start asking me to do stuff this

2016
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 2: other person was supposed to be doing, and oh yeah,

2017
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:35,920
Speaker 2: when I.

2018
01:41:35,920 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 3: Quit, I was like, man, fuck this job. They never

2019
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 3: appreciated me.

2020
01:41:39,479 --> 01:41:42,040
Speaker 2: But part of the reason that so much was demanded

2021
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 2: to me was because I was the one who showed up.

2022
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's what Americas has done. America's

2023
01:41:47,680 --> 01:41:50,439
Speaker 2: done the Democrats for like, yep, a long time. At

2024
01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:52,320
Speaker 2: this point, it's like, well, y'all keep showing up the work,

2025
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:55,360
Speaker 2: do everything, and they're like, but this one guy is

2026
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:59,639
Speaker 2: not even here. He's he won't even just like help

2027
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 2: do a little bit so I can do most of it.

2028
01:42:02,320 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 2: And I feel like this was a you know, it

2029
01:42:05,920 --> 01:42:07,679
Speaker 2: could and it could come back to bite them, because

2030
01:42:07,680 --> 01:42:11,200
Speaker 2: people kind of sometimes can just be unfair to them

2031
01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:12,000
Speaker 2: no matter what they do.

2032
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:15,479
Speaker 3: But I this feels like representation to me.

2033
01:42:15,439 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 2: To go, no, not that's enough, you guys, go be

2034
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:23,160
Speaker 2: adults and fucking they come back and do your job,

2035
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:26,120
Speaker 2: Like stop making me close when I told you I

2036
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 2: have to go be at school at eight in the morning,

2037
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 2: just because Lamon was like, I'm not coming to work,

2038
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 2: and if I do come to work, I'm leaving when

2039
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 2: I feel like it.

2040
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 3: Hey, y'all need to fix that shit.

2041
01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:36,720
Speaker 5: You know.

2042
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:39,559
Speaker 4: I agree.

2043
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: I agree with both of you all the time, even

2044
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,439
Speaker 1: when you disagree with each other. I agree with you both.

2045
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:50,880
Speaker 1: And I want to say these two things. One that's

2046
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:53,160
Speaker 1: a nice thing about myself, and one that's a nice

2047
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 1: thing about what you just said Rod. For me, you

2048
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,600
Speaker 1: reminded me earlier when we were talking about, you know,

2049
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:03,080
Speaker 1: the press, who is going to do their best to

2050
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 1: kill fewer people, you know, to sacrifice themselves, be a

2051
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:09,200
Speaker 1: martyr in a way, and like because somebody else, if

2052
01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 1: it's not me, somebody else might do worse, you know.

2053
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:14,600
Speaker 1: And that's the way that I Here's how I'm like

2054
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 1: that President is when I was in college, I wasn't

2055
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:21,240
Speaker 1: vegan yet, but I was vegetarian, and I worked selling

2056
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,759
Speaker 1: sandwiches and some of the sandwiches, many of the sandwiches

2057
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:25,800
Speaker 1: were meat sandwiches, and people order a meat sandwich, I

2058
01:43:25,800 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 1: give a meat sandwich, you know. But here's the thing

2059
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:31,000
Speaker 1: I was like that we had cheese sandwiches, we had

2060
01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:34,160
Speaker 1: veggie sandwiches. You know, we had egg salad, we had

2061
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:37,160
Speaker 1: non meat options. I don't know if we had much vegan,

2062
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 1: but there was vegetables. But if anyone ever was like,

2063
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 1: what do you recommend, I'd be like, you should get

2064
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:45,240
Speaker 1: a vegetable sandwich, you know what I mean. I'm like,

2065
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 1: the little that I could do, I'm like to move

2066
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:51,879
Speaker 1: the needle. That was my role as president of the sandwich.

2067
01:43:52,000 --> 01:43:56,639
Speaker 2: That's like the thing like when we were talking about

2068
01:43:56,760 --> 01:43:58,880
Speaker 2: when you brought up Obama at first, and you're like,

2069
01:43:58,920 --> 01:44:01,160
Speaker 2: you know, there's things he did people didn't like, blahlah blah,

2070
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 2: And I think of it as like, yeah, as an

2071
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:06,240
Speaker 2: officer of the president, you're gonna end up doing some things.

2072
01:44:06,120 --> 01:44:08,400
Speaker 3: People don't like, Like, you know, kind of kind of

2073
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:09,599
Speaker 3: why I don't want to be one.

2074
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:12,960
Speaker 2: Because if you if you're the quote unquote good one,

2075
01:44:13,040 --> 01:44:15,519
Speaker 2: you become the one that they got to kill or something.

2076
01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:17,600
Speaker 2: If you're like, guys, actually let's not do any of

2077
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 2: that shit, they're like, uh, this is But I remember

2078
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:23,400
Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, we were talking about voting and we

2079
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 2: can wrap up after this, but we were talking about

2080
01:44:25,800 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 2: voting and there was an online sentiment I think in

2081
01:44:31,400 --> 01:44:33,799
Speaker 2: a way driven by the fact that I think Obama

2082
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:37,120
Speaker 2: had been such a good president, there were people going, well,

2083
01:44:37,400 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 2: obviously being president is easy and anyone can fucking just

2084
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 2: do it. And it's like, no, you want to keep

2085
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 2: whatever his legacy is. Let's keep going that way, because

2086
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 2: there are people who really would take it in a

2087
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:51,760
Speaker 2: completely different direction. And I think people felt, you know,

2088
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:56,040
Speaker 2: bored with Hillary Clinton. She's not progressive enough. There's a

2089
01:44:56,040 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 2: little bit of you know, people coming of age under Obama,

2090
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 2: so there was like a oh my god, this guy's

2091
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:02,800
Speaker 2: gonna be like an active as president. And then they

2092
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 2: got older underneath Obama were like, oh, there's never been

2093
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 2: a such thing that doesn't exist. Oh fuck, you know,

2094
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:12,360
Speaker 2: and so people weren't as enthusiastic, right And part of

2095
01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:15,960
Speaker 2: one of the things that people would say is like, well,

2096
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:19,439
Speaker 2: I'm not picking the lesser of two evils. I just

2097
01:45:19,479 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 2: won't vote, which to me is like, you know, there's

2098
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 2: still also another choice that is a lesser of either choice.

2099
01:45:25,520 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 2: My point was like, okay, you won't pick the lesser

2100
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:33,280
Speaker 2: or too evils, the most evil will win. Like that's

2101
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:36,920
Speaker 2: that if enough people make that decision, the default is

2102
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 2: all the evil person gets to be the person you've dedicated,

2103
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 2: Dick said, is the most evil. That's what's gonna happen

2104
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:49,120
Speaker 2: because the evil people aren't gonna sit out right. And

2105
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:52,800
Speaker 2: I remember saying on the show, like, as an American,

2106
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 2: black American, not not have my people haven't had the

2107
01:45:57,880 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 2: greatest here, guys, I don't never been reading the paper,

2108
01:46:00,560 --> 01:46:03,760
Speaker 2: but I'm like, I still feel an obligation to the

2109
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:07,720
Speaker 2: world to pick the lace harm like right, because we're

2110
01:46:07,760 --> 01:46:12,400
Speaker 2: a very harmful, powerful thing that is going like we

2111
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:17,320
Speaker 2: We're never gonna reverse course to where it's like America, Wow, that.

2112
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:18,680
Speaker 3: Those guys did all the charity this year.

2113
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:21,240
Speaker 2: I don't know that shit together, so like I would,

2114
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,600
Speaker 2: it would almost be delusional for me to be like,

2115
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:26,400
Speaker 2: you know what, fuck it. Someone else will figure it out,

2116
01:46:26,439 --> 01:46:28,719
Speaker 2: So you have to kind of like pull the reins

2117
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:31,360
Speaker 2: on it. And I feel like that's kind of the

2118
01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 2: you know, the same thing that that we're asking now

2119
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:38,400
Speaker 2: is like just put just put a muffler, like turn

2120
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:39,320
Speaker 2: this ship down.

2121
01:46:39,560 --> 01:46:40,839
Speaker 3: It can't be on ten.

2122
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:44,599
Speaker 2: Six cause can we okay, it's hide in the basic

2123
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 2: Can we open a window like something to justice ship?

2124
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, well, good news is eventually the

2125
01:46:54,320 --> 01:47:00,280
Speaker 1: sun will consume the planet and it's fiery explosion. And

2126
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 1: I think by that point we will have gotten rid

2127
01:47:02,200 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 1: of all the guns in America. Yeah by the way,

2128
01:47:06,080 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they'll have been confiscated.

2129
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:10,000
Speaker 3: All we're gonna invent a gun.

2130
01:47:10,760 --> 01:47:12,720
Speaker 2: We're definitely gonna invent a gun to shoot the sun.

2131
01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:17,120
Speaker 2: That's definitely a thing that the world's gonna America specifically

2132
01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:20,320
Speaker 2: will be. There's a secret project somewhere of a big

2133
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:23,120
Speaker 2: ass gun, but we need the planet size gun to

2134
01:47:23,240 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 2: just shoot the sun because that's what that's what we

2135
01:47:26,320 --> 01:47:29,879
Speaker 2: do here, that's our solution shoot everything.

2136
01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:32,000
Speaker 4: Oh yeah.

2137
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 1: The thing that I was gonna say is like the

2138
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: idea that someone else like that, someone else will figure

2139
01:47:38,439 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 1: it out. Like to almost everyone in the world, we're

2140
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 1: someone else, Yes, We're we're the one.

2141
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 2: We gotta do.

2142
01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:47,840
Speaker 3: We gotta at least try.

2143
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,840
Speaker 2: I don't, I mean, because if not, I'm just saying fatalism,

2144
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:54,599
Speaker 2: give up. And I know who the bad people are that.

2145
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:55,479
Speaker 3: Will run this country.

2146
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:57,960
Speaker 2: So, like I said, today gave me some level of

2147
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:00,400
Speaker 2: hope because this is something where I've been saying, this

2148
01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 2: motherfucker needs to take control of his people. Even if

2149
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 2: it's to do the bullshit. I don't want to see

2150
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,840
Speaker 2: them do, like like like this is a dysfunctional party

2151
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 2: for them is probably better than a functional bad one.

2152
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:15,400
Speaker 3: But like they're they're like, we're gonna impeach Biden.

2153
01:48:15,400 --> 01:48:17,759
Speaker 2: They can't now because they don't have to fucking votes anymore,

2154
01:48:18,280 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 2: Like like.

2155
01:48:19,080 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

2156
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 2: Is it is honestly a clown show that is not funny?

2157
01:48:23,479 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 2: Or respect it or do good emotional work and ask

2158
01:48:27,240 --> 01:48:30,880
Speaker 2: people with Menican legs and Michael phones questions. They're just

2159
01:48:30,920 --> 01:48:36,519
Speaker 2: like problem and they're like everything problem, yes, problem always.

2160
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:38,439
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be a problem.

2161
01:48:38,600 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 3: Yes, no, you nailed it.

2162

Speaker 4: My name is problem, James. Problem. Uh.

2163
01:48:44,520 --> 01:48:46,680
Speaker 1: And here's the thing I was gonna say earlier that

2164
01:48:46,760 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 1: I actually now I don't remember well enough, but this

2165
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:53,640
Speaker 1: is Do you know how sometimes we have prefixes and suffixes,

2166
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, that go on the beginning or the end

2167
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 1: of a word. Do you know that some languages have infixes,

2168
01:48:58,400 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 1: which are ones that go in the.

2169
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 4: Middle of a word.

2170
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:04,760
Speaker 1: And the only infixes we really have in English, in

2171
01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:09,640
Speaker 1: American English are fucking. Like if I tell you to

2172
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:13,200
Speaker 1: put the word fucking in the middle of Mississippi or Alabama.

2173
01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 1: You put it in the same you put it, you

2174
01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 1: know where to put it, because that's you know, nobody

2175
01:49:17,160 --> 01:49:17,559
Speaker 1: taught you.

2176
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 4: But that's just you learned.

2177
01:49:19,560 --> 01:49:24,000
Speaker 1: That's where fucking goes in that Nobody's like al fucking Obama,

2178
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:24,800
Speaker 1: you know what I mean.

2179
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:26,919
Speaker 4: It wouldn't make any.

2180
01:49:26,720 --> 01:49:30,040
Speaker 1: Sense, but earlier, and I think it was just maybe

2181
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:35,120
Speaker 1: like a momentary miss uh like step in speech, but

2182
01:49:35,200 --> 01:49:37,479
