Speaker 1: It's called Matt Rogers. Have you heard of Christmas? It's
Speaker 1: gonna be really fun. It's musical directed by Henry Koperski
Speaker 1: and features Bone Yang Dave Zony, Rachel Winnitzky, and Catherine Cohen.
Speaker 1: I'm super excited about it. To get your tickets now
Speaker 1: at Purple Past dot com. Look, mad oh, I see you?
Speaker 1: Why why and look over there? How is that culture? Yes? Goodness,
Speaker 1: ding donging? And you know what else is calling? What
Speaker 1: the time of the season? And I believe that every season.
Speaker 1: I'm talking, of course about the Christmas season. Yes, we
Speaker 1: see a lot of these things. What am I talking about? Bowls,
Speaker 1: bowls of candy. We have no such ball on the table. No,
Speaker 1: but laying free in front of us is many pieces
Speaker 1: of candy. And you had pointed this out like a
Speaker 1: true socio sociologist anthropologist. Thank you said it's the time
Speaker 1: of year when people are sticking their fingers and bowls
Speaker 1: of candy. And I said, wow, I didn't realize that
Speaker 1: was the seasonal behavior. Well, they do that with nuts
Speaker 1: all year round on bartops. We all know, we've seen
Speaker 1: the bowls of nuts, and we hope, I hope to
Speaker 1: avoid the bowls of nuts. I was gonna say, I
Speaker 1: don't get near them. I don't get near those. But
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, when it's like candy during
Speaker 1: the season, I don't even think about it. I dive
Speaker 1: right in. And what's the difference. There's no difference. I
Speaker 1: guess you're getting sick either way. And is it good
Speaker 1: or bad bacteria? We talked about this, we did. And also,
Speaker 1: you know what, probably a lot less kids at the
Speaker 1: bar where the nuts are probably a lot more kids
Speaker 1: at the family gatherings where there's the bowl of cans.
Speaker 1: The kids, though, have some sort of monitoring system built
Speaker 1: in where the parents are like Tanner, wash your hands,
Speaker 1: but listen, no adults, no adult is getting that sort
Speaker 1: of system built around. So it's a dirtier at the bar.
Speaker 1: I guess it also matters what's happening at the bar,
Speaker 1: you know, are they are they um in an engaging
Speaker 1: conversation with someone that they're dating, and they run to
Speaker 1: the restroom. They go to the bathroom, maybe they don't
Speaker 1: wash their hands on the way, and then all the
Speaker 1: hand goes into the nuts. It's just crazy, It's just crazy,
Speaker 1: you know what, In these crazy times, I think we
Speaker 1: need to bring in a very special guest. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: need a rock, We need a rock. And she's she's
Speaker 1: here with us tonight and truly we're so excited. Um
Speaker 1: and you know we're we're thrusting all this responsibility on her.
Speaker 1: But that's fine. She's the rock. She's the rock. Okay,
Speaker 1: you guys, I mean, come on, she's the female Dwayne Johnson,
Speaker 1: the female industry. Absolutely, she's always selfiing from skyscrapers. Um,
Speaker 1: just like Dwayne does. Okay, guys, um our guest. You
Speaker 1: know you've seen her and everything. You've laughed at her
Speaker 1: words and everything. Master of none about Jack Horseman. Um. Oh,
Speaker 1: she's in this new Hardconda Bulu series. The problem with
Speaker 1: that pooh she makes She makes a little appearance in that,
Speaker 1: and I didn't mean to scale it. I didn't mean
Speaker 1: to qualify with little appearance. It's an appearance. And now
Speaker 1: talk about what's premiering in January. It's just something about
Speaker 1: a new series on Comedy Central Corporate. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I've seen the promos. They're nice, minimalistic. I go, what
Speaker 1: could this be? And I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 1: I can't wait either. Maybe she'll tell us about it,
Speaker 1: and she's reading for l Seth Meyers um. And you
Speaker 1: can check out her amazing album that came out last year.
Speaker 1: Just putting it out there. That's the title. Wow, right,
Speaker 1: see you were just putting it out there. And also
Speaker 1: the title and also that's and I wonder that thought
Speaker 1: went into the naming of it, that it just sprows
Speaker 1: off the tongue like like a phrase, like an expression.
Speaker 1: I guess we'll find that when we speak to you. No,
Speaker 1: I did say, feel free to dive int here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Don't feel pressure because, as we said, it's a germ spreader. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm not. That's not why I was told, like
Speaker 1: not showing restraint. Okay, sure do you show usually show
Speaker 1: restrain around something as hazardous, like like infectiously hazardous as
Speaker 1: a bowl of Barnetts for example. I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: a germophob if if that is the qualifying standard. No,
Speaker 1: you don't think you are? No, No, okay, I think
Speaker 1: I think it's good for immune system. Absolutely, you have
Speaker 1: to expose yourself a little bit. Yes, you know. I
Speaker 1: know people that won't even touch the rails on the subway, right,
Speaker 1: And I said, this is problematic because then you become
Speaker 1: a projectile on the subway and you're flying all around,
Speaker 1: hurting people, and that to me is more dangerous. It's
Speaker 1: dangerous and unacceptable, unacceptable socially. Socially, then everyone's responsible for
Speaker 1: your physics exactly. I will say a partner, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: reach for the eminem's just now because I have three
Speaker 1: in my hand. You have three brown ones. I have
Speaker 1: three brown ones just by eight coincidence, and I'm scared
Speaker 1: to put them in my mouth because I don't want
Speaker 1: the mic to pick up the chewing. Do you ever
Speaker 1: see the movie, Um, what is it? It's with Matthew
Speaker 1: McConaughey and Jennifer Lopez, is it not? I'm not made wedding? Okay?
Speaker 1: Do you remember in the Wedding Planner when um, I
Speaker 1: think it was either him or her and they were
Speaker 1: picking I think it's him. And he was a dentist
Speaker 1: in the movie, a pediattrician, he was the movie. So
Speaker 1: he's picking out all the colored eminem's and she's like,
Speaker 1: why are you doing that? And he's like, well, I'll
Speaker 1: figure that. Um, you know, these ones are brown, so
Speaker 1: there's got to be less artificial flavoring in them. And
Speaker 1: so I figure out, only eat the brown ones because
Speaker 1: then you're getting less artificial flavoring. And I thought that myself.
Speaker 1: That has to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard
Speaker 1: of my entire life wrote that line? Or do you
Speaker 1: think it was improv? An improv baby? Imagine to keep
Speaker 1: this was like, I actually thought this amazing improv and
Speaker 1: it's science, It's based in science. Yeah, he did character research.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying that he thought like he truly believed
Speaker 1: that the artificial coloring thing was true and he brought
Speaker 1: it to the table. We'll never know, We'll never know,
Speaker 1: We'll never know. Are you J Lott fan? I like
Speaker 1: J Low but I wouldn't. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: to identify as a thing. Right, you appreciate what she is?
Speaker 1: If you if she was in a room with you
Speaker 1: and you felt so compelled and moved to go up
Speaker 1: to her strike up a conversation. Um, would you would you?
Speaker 1: Would you say I'm a fan? I think I might
Speaker 1: out of nervousness just say it. But this is something
Speaker 1: that our our last guest Guy said, are two guests ago?
Speaker 1: Guy said? What did he say? Betty had some strong opinion,
Speaker 1: very strong, but he's he He always appreciates it when
Speaker 1: people approach a celebrity and a collegial status that they're
Speaker 1: on the same level as that person, which is kind
Speaker 1: of insane. Well, they say, you don't want to appear
Speaker 1: as like a fan because then you're like a crazy fan.
Speaker 1: Oh I see, I see it. So I feel like you,
Speaker 1: a partner could just walk up to j Low and
Speaker 1: then just start talking about your projects and then she'd
Speaker 1: be like, Okay, yes, I think of j is such
Speaker 1: a I think anytime someone has multiple hats or they're
Speaker 1: like hyphenated in there, you know work, Yes, I think
Speaker 1: I get intimidated because I don't even know where to
Speaker 1: place her, right, It's like, and how does she identify?
Speaker 1: You know? What is she identifying that? Particularly as an
Speaker 1: actress or a recording superstar? And the onus is not
Speaker 1: on you to figure it out, right, So it's impossible.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't talk the answer the right answer. What you
Speaker 1: shouldn't have spoken to her. It's actually rule number sixty
Speaker 1: four of culture. Never speak to a multi don't speak.
Speaker 1: But aren't I would I would characterize you as a
Speaker 1: multi hyphenet. I guess, yeah, I mean I think in
Speaker 1: comedy it's interesting because you can write and act and
Speaker 1: tweet and tweet. You can act tweet and that's what
Speaker 1: they call you a three tool player. Yeah, you're a
Speaker 1: triple tool, triple threat. No triple threat of singing, dancing, acting.
Speaker 1: This is a triple player. So I think that's why,
Speaker 1: because she's a triple threat in the traditional but of
Speaker 1: course she's she's a worthless tweeter. We're all three tool
Speaker 1: players at this table, three three tool players. Of course,
Speaker 1: the fourth tool of my attap shows. There you go,
Speaker 1: there you go. If you had a fourth tool, what
Speaker 1: would it be? Uh? This talent? We don't know about you? Reading? Yes,
Speaker 1: the books so essential, essential, and then to read in
Speaker 1: this industry, and I don't think enough people read in
Speaker 1: this industry. You know. Okay, we can talk about this.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it because we're else. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about it. I I've fallen off on my reading until recently,
Speaker 1: and now I'm picking I'm picking it up again. It
Speaker 1: feels right here we go, talk about the talk about
Speaker 1: this book that you just read. And then from the table. Sure.
Speaker 1: So I just um flew back in from Thanksgiving on
Speaker 1: Sunday and on the plane right I've finished Called Me
Speaker 1: by Your Name, the book by Andrea Simon, and then
Speaker 1: loved it. Was directly enraptured by the book and raptured
Speaker 1: by the book. UM had some issues with the pacing,
Speaker 1: as I've mentioned and documented on this program. But then
Speaker 1: we landed and has read the finished the book within
Speaker 1: minutes of landing, and I was like, I have to
Speaker 1: to see this movie tonight, um, And I really just
Speaker 1: took advantage of my New York l a privilege of
Speaker 1: early releases, and I went by myself to go see it,
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, went went head first, dove, head
Speaker 1: first into the waters of this adaptation and was of
Speaker 1: course disappointed because how is it going to live up
Speaker 1: to a to a book where every character's emotionally realized
Speaker 1: and flashed out? And so I didn't like it. And
Speaker 1: then I just let me say this, ultuistas, there is
Speaker 1: a whisper network of gay men and just queer people
Speaker 1: who do not like call me by your name the movie,
Speaker 1: and I count myself. I'm going to out myself as mine.
Speaker 1: I would say, you were you were really holding back
Speaker 1: right now because you literally have said to me end
Speaker 1: quote and I quote, now, fuck that movie. I did
Speaker 1: not say that. I did not say that, you said
Speaker 1: you hated it. I'm going to out someone else right now.
Speaker 1: Friend of the show, our guests of the pod John Early,
Speaker 1: because wow, you are too much is a public figure.
Speaker 1: You can get it. I don't know. This is what happened.
Speaker 1: You can get upon it. In Trouble have the biggest
Speaker 1: five tool players got five tools and more and the
Speaker 1: singing and well John, this is what so John tweeted. Literally,
Speaker 1: this was a convergence of call me by your name things.
Speaker 1: Right before I stepped into the movie, I'm on Twitter
Speaker 1: as as we one of the tools, and then I
Speaker 1: see John tweets call me by your nah, and everyone
Speaker 1: is like, whoa what Incendi probably got many reactions on
Speaker 1: got a lot of reactions, and I was like, imagine.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I guess John didn't like the movie.
Speaker 1: And I watched it, and I will I will confidently
Speaker 1: say it did not color my perception or did not
Speaker 1: sway me one way or the other. But I watched it,
Speaker 1: and then I came out of the movie and I
Speaker 1: texted Johnny out, John, I just I just came out
Speaker 1: of call me by your name too. And I didn't
Speaker 1: like it either, Oh my god, unless you didn't. Unless
Speaker 1: And I was like, I was like, and I think
Speaker 1: I hate it too. Unless you didn't hate OMG. And
Speaker 1: then he talks back like twenty minutes later he was like, no,
Speaker 1: I fucking hated it. And he was the one who said,
Speaker 1: and I have the receipts and maybe maybe this is unfair.
Speaker 1: You are he said, fuck that movie well and he
Speaker 1: and then he tweeted Michael Stuelbark, who plays the father
Speaker 1: who has this amazing mone at the end performance, he goes,
Speaker 1: Michael Stuelbarg, Michael Stuart Stuelbarg fucking sucks too, but you
Speaker 1: and so John is John Is. Them's fighting words, them's
Speaker 1: fighting words. Those are he's coming out for calling. Have
Speaker 1: you seen coming by your name? Do you know? Ye? Well, honestly,
Speaker 1: I would say and somebody asked me to study, like
Speaker 1: should I see this? And I was like, I feel
Speaker 1: like you should see people should see it. Um. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing, though, I feel like it's not for a
Speaker 1: queer audience. It's for straight people or it's just for
Speaker 1: people to like understand that like queer narratives have this
Speaker 1: latent desire built into them and this is like the
Speaker 1: the example of that. Um. But like all like we'll
Speaker 1: we'll go and we'll be like oh yeah, like and
Speaker 1: even like even people who understand like what that is
Speaker 1: will go to that movie and be like yeah, no, duh,
Speaker 1: yeah of course, like like in order to understand that
Speaker 1: that nothing happens in your gay life until later. You
Speaker 1: don't need nothing to happen in the first hour. That's
Speaker 1: with the with the pacing, with the tension building. So
Speaker 1: UM a partner, I expect a full review after you
Speaker 1: see it. I will live tweet it. Thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say that you need to use one of
Speaker 1: your tools. Is there this is for the table? Is
Speaker 1: there a movie that was better than the book? Oh?
Speaker 1: I want to say, yeah, right, there's got to be one. Well,
Speaker 1: definitely any movie where the book was made after the
Speaker 1: movie well yes, well yes, you know what I've never read.
Speaker 1: But no, I don't think it can possibly be as
Speaker 1: good as the movie the Devil Wars product. Yes, because
Speaker 1: you don't have Mertyl Streep in the book. Famously, she
Speaker 1: can do a lot of things. She can't appear in
Speaker 1: a book. She can't appear in a book. Neither can
Speaker 1: Emily Blunt Let's Not Forget or the Way also can't
Speaker 1: appear in the lead singer of UM Rooney can either
Speaker 1: who was in that UM but also, um, the Wizard
Speaker 1: of Oz of course unless unless because the book is
Speaker 1: maybe more mythologized more completely. But the I mean the
Speaker 1: movie though, movies pretty iconic. So we we've answered the question.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think we've answered that. Do you
Speaker 1: do you think that there's a book that's better or
Speaker 1: I don't even know the Yes, it was it was.
Speaker 1: I think that, um, it was like a former like
Speaker 1: she wrote for like some tabloid or like and and
Speaker 1: she was and then she came out with this book
Speaker 1: and it like, of course, to the Road by Storm,
Speaker 1: the World by Storm, honey. But we're with school for you.
Speaker 1: I went to college in western Massachusetts, Okay, Amherst, Amherst,
Speaker 1: Amherst Amherst College. It's one of the Amherst. When people
Speaker 1: say Western mass not maybe not necessarily. I'm that was
Speaker 1: just a lucky guess. Amherst is a great town. It
Speaker 1: is very new aging. Yeah, very liberal, unusual for a
Speaker 1: college house in Massachusetts. Absolutely, even that all the Western
Speaker 1: Masses kind of rural. No, I don't know. I think
Speaker 1: Western mass is weirdly progressive or at least this area,
Speaker 1: I think because of the colleges. But I think You're right,
Speaker 1: like Boston has some very conservative strange so yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't be that loud and drunk and be a liberal person,
Speaker 1: be and be for a single pair. Um well, Boston College. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did to get that that. I didn't understand what
Speaker 1: a jesuit school was. And then I don't know why
Speaker 1: I didn't understand it, but I didn't understand it. But
Speaker 1: we went there to look at it, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: absolutely not, absolutely not. You're not even in Boston proper.
Speaker 1: Is that true? You're not in Boston properly diversity honey,
Speaker 1: Right in Boston proper toughs honey, Yes, honey Emerson, right
Speaker 1: in the heart of the city. Absolutely. You walk out
Speaker 1: and there it is the harbor jay Leno what their
Speaker 1: biggest alumni. Yes it is. They wouldn't stop talking about
Speaker 1: jay Leno. There. Wow, we'll look get up at the break.
Speaker 1: I'm almost positive I'm right, just like I was almost
Speaker 1: positive that Hugh Hefner was dead four months prior to
Speaker 1: him being dead. So I broke the news of his
Speaker 1: death on the show. Yes, and then we had to
Speaker 1: record something to put go in front of the episode.
Speaker 1: I said, just kidding, he's not dead. Excuse the first
Speaker 1: five minutes of this episode absolutely where I confirmed the
Speaker 1: passing of you Hefner, but presciently you did. But I'm
Speaker 1: more confident saying that Jay Leno went to Emerson, but
Speaker 1: you're there's still a degree of uncertainty. I would say
Speaker 1: that I am willing to risk it all a partner,
Speaker 1: besides will risk at all. Besides, I was going to
Speaker 1: say something so annoyou. I was gonna say, besides you,
Speaker 1: who is like the biggest alumn to come out of Amherst?
Speaker 1: But just who is the biggest aleman to come out
Speaker 1: of Amherst? No, I think, um, David Foster Wallace. Oh
Speaker 1: that's a good one. Probably probably a little bit bigger
Speaker 1: than you. I would say, Oh, fun, Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: say David Boster Walls probably went out of the three
Speaker 1: of you guys. I'm gonna say, um, I want like
Speaker 1: the Hours type movie where um, you followed David Foster
Speaker 1: Wallace at college you follow that best or at college
Speaker 1: you follow art college and a partner, a partner goes
Speaker 1: to a UCB show in her youth with with what
Speaker 1: I just I'm enraptured with with a copy of you know,
Speaker 1: infinite justin. I was gonna try to go for another,
Speaker 1: but I couldn't think about um uh, And you know
Speaker 1: it all converges at a partner. Absolutely, you'd be the
Speaker 1: Meryl Streep and that scenario and then we haven't we
Speaker 1: have brought it back around. She can't be on the
Speaker 1: pages of a book, but she can be in this
Speaker 1: dream scenario of the film. Absolutely, and a partner would
Speaker 1: be played by Meryl. Yes, yes, absolutely, as we all
Speaker 1: hope to be. Yeah, but she can pull off. No
Speaker 1: one would be mad that. No one would be mad
Speaker 1: that Meryl will be playing just someone no physical resemblance
Speaker 1: at all, right now, people would be I think Meryl
Speaker 1: would be amazing me. I think she'd play me amazing.
Speaker 1: She would be Yeah, I think she would do us
Speaker 1: all justice. I don't know, because we are different, we
Speaker 1: look we look absolutely, but you know, if anyone was
Speaker 1: going to do it that like, it would be Meryl. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think she would approach either my nor partner's
Speaker 1: sort of emotional for partner's case emotional complexity, for my
Speaker 1: case emotional simplicity. She would overshoot it. Horrible thing. She
Speaker 1: would add depth to me that was not there. And
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that would that would play
Speaker 1: that that would that would be very very easily just
Speaker 1: people would see that and be like, that's would be
Speaker 1: so transparent people. The Bone was never like this, you know,
Speaker 1: Bone was not this emotionally mature. So that's that. That's
Speaker 1: my thing with Meryl. Do you think that the author
Speaker 1: that she played in adaptation was as wonderfully fabulous to
Speaker 1: watch as Meryl was in adapt to adaptation you're talking
Speaker 1: about UM. You think dingle Ate my Baby was this
Speaker 1: amazing mirror you're talking about UM. But for adptations there
Speaker 1: was an Arlene who is wonderful has their own podcast.
Speaker 1: Now that's fine. Is she as good as Meryl strip
Speaker 1: to watch? I don't stop it? She taught some she
Speaker 1: taught some classes in YO. I don't care. Okay, take something.
Speaker 1: Everyone's podcast. I don't want to a podcast nowadays everyone
Speaker 1: teaches that. In EO everyone has a podcast. Horrible part.
Speaker 1: Do you still have your podcast? We're trying to resuscitate it.
Speaker 1: It's good to shop it around to a network. You
Speaker 1: got to have a network these days. We love our
Speaker 1: people that forever Dog Hi, Hi, Hot Producer, Joe. They're
Speaker 1: not our people there are people their own and we
Speaker 1: work together. There are people it's horrible for you, don't
Speaker 1: not not the literal possessive. I'm just saying they're on
Speaker 1: they're in our camp. Partner. You have to you have
Speaker 1: to find the right people and you have to be
Speaker 1: able to call them. Are people comfortably? Have you guys
Speaker 1: been working together from the beginning from the jump and
Speaker 1: you asked about since birth? You asking about since birth? Yes,
Speaker 1: we didn't know each other and when we were born,
Speaker 1: but many years later we did meet. And then from
Speaker 1: that point I made it from when we met, um,
Speaker 1: But I will say that we have had some difficult
Speaker 1: moments with who with me and you? Okay? Like what? Well,
Speaker 1: I would say that in the very beginning of our relationship,
Speaker 1: Bone was threatened by me, not because of why you think,
Speaker 1: which I don't know why you think, but he thought
Speaker 1: that I was straight and trying to date the girl
Speaker 1: that he liked. Allegedly. Yes, we did have a difficult
Speaker 1: moment about a female but a female woman, and this
Speaker 1: was when we were both in the closet um early
Speaker 1: days of college, and I felt threatened and I said this,
Speaker 1: Bowen thought that I was going to date Sherman Bielfelds,
Speaker 1: who now works at bark Box. I saw her at
Speaker 1: the place where I waited tables the other day, and
Speaker 1: I I saw her at Brooklyn Crab, like at the
Speaker 1: our old friend Mung. She came into Brooklyn Crab where
Speaker 1: I wait tables and I saw her and it was
Speaker 1: like I had to do it like a double tech.
Speaker 1: In fact, I took their order first and then I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, you are mom and she
Speaker 1: was like yes, Hi, And then we had we had
Speaker 1: a conversation and I texted Bone of course, and it
Speaker 1: took me back to this place of animosity. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: but where did you guys go to college? And it
Speaker 1: isn't crazy that she would show up you? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. In fact, it I would say likely, It
Speaker 1: was likely, but um, you know that was to think
Speaker 1: that Matt and Matt and I, um, just our origin
Speaker 1: story starts with over a girl. It's very ironic crazy,
Speaker 1: you know. I would also say we probably have to
Speaker 1: be like what the one hundred seven thousand most notable
Speaker 1: person of n y U. Probably of people more notable
Speaker 1: than us from there, not like Amherst where it's like
Speaker 1: you David fuster Wallace investor that the Olsen twins coming
Speaker 1: at n y U. It would have to be like
Speaker 1: the hundreds that puts us at least three and four.
Speaker 1: I forgot they went to school. They did, they did,
Speaker 1: they did. Um a partner, We're going to ask you
Speaker 1: the question now that we ask all of our guests,
Speaker 1: which is what was the culture that made you say cultures?
Speaker 1: For me? What was the culture that m was? Um
Speaker 1: formative wrapped wrapped in a in a blanket, um tied
Speaker 1: to the beak of a stork. Yeah. The stork flew
Speaker 1: in with a little, you know, a little a male
Speaker 1: boy cap and just gently placed it on your doorstep,
Speaker 1: and you opened it and you said, Wow, I've arrived
Speaker 1: at culture. You remember the scene from the Prince of Egypt,
Speaker 1: the movie animated film about the birth of Moses and
Speaker 1: the story of Moses. You remember in the beginning of
Speaker 1: the film when Moses goes down the river in the
Speaker 1: basket and arrives from the movie at the feet of
Speaker 1: the pharaohs. Um, you are the pharaohest here and Moses
Speaker 1: is the culture that Oh? Wow? Yeah, wait, would that
Speaker 1: one count as the book better than the movie? Yes? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I think the Prince of Egypt is better than the Bible,
Speaker 1: at least Exodus, the book about I had much better songs. Yes, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I can't say any of these songs in the Bible.
Speaker 1: Bible ned more songs than needed a much better um
Speaker 1: uh score, yes absolutely um. But that's the question. I
Speaker 1: feel like. I feel like I started, um like, I
Speaker 1: tried to go back really early when I was thinking
Speaker 1: about this question, and I just landed at Sesame Street.
Speaker 1: But then I was like, is that what? Everyone beautiful?
Speaker 1: They don't say that, but you know what that's because
Speaker 1: they're not smart enough to say that. And Sesame Street,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's what what a nice universal touchdown? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. I wonder if it still is though, because
Speaker 1: it is, it affects lots of kids still to this day.
Speaker 1: And you know what they do, which I think is
Speaker 1: really good. There's an autistic character. Yes, they've heard about this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they did him a second where it was like they
Speaker 1: flashed to Sesame Street and it was there's an autistic character.
Speaker 1: And there's her best friend who kind of like uh
Speaker 1: not speaks for her but helps her communicate because she's
Speaker 1: there with her, and they're kind of like a due
Speaker 1: on the show. But it's beautiful, it's wonderful, and they're
Speaker 1: little cute muppets. They're adorable. I love it. And didn't
Speaker 1: they have the first HIV positive character? They did? They did,
Speaker 1: they did, but he was he was also a muppet.
Speaker 1: He she was also up day. They were a I
Speaker 1: believe a character on the show a muppet. I don't
Speaker 1: think they were an actor. No, but that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like you hear about it doing all these groundbreakings,
Speaker 1: Like God, I didn't even know that was still on.
Speaker 1: I love that answer. Now what um, let's say you
Speaker 1: were being asked you were broked on Sesame Street? What
Speaker 1: was and you were being presented with you had to
Speaker 1: present the letter of the day. What's your letter? Oh man,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go with and and you know what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you and then there's a little snap, there's
Speaker 1: some eminem's and then you go no, no, no, we're
Speaker 1: going to nibble and m m's. I think that's wonderful.
Speaker 1: That's beautiful. Who would your seen partner be? Who was
Speaker 1: your favorite character in SSS? I loved Grover. Grover Grover
Speaker 1: is the best one that Grover is the best one.
Speaker 1: Who is your favorite? I love that grouch, Oscar the Grouch,
Speaker 1: I love I love like a I'm apologetic. She I
Speaker 1: referred to her the gradges. She she was never having it. No.
Speaker 1: I recently I saw a little bust of Oscar the
Speaker 1: Grouch and it was like something you could stand next
Speaker 1: to impose. And then I just satis to that thing
Speaker 1: and we threw a lot of shay an Oscar, Oscar.
Speaker 1: I like that Oscar the Groucher. Cookie Monster is the
Speaker 1: one to Oh yeah, cookie Monster. Grover was so it
Speaker 1: was so lovely and loving, and Grover had no hang
Speaker 1: ups like Cookie Monster. The only subject matter you could
Speaker 1: talk about with him was cookies. So what I'm saying
Speaker 1: with Grover, you can open up and you don't. He's
Speaker 1: not going to hijack the conversation from you. I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you something. I can't picture Grover in my mind's eye.
Speaker 1: You don't know what who the do you know where
Speaker 1: we're do? You don't know what we're talking about? Super
Speaker 1: Grover within with a little Knight's House, Yes, oh my god,
Speaker 1: in the Cape. You don't know Grover, the Little Elmo,
Speaker 1: the Blue Cookie Monster, Blue Blue one with the pink nose. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I only had time. Only I have time for two
Speaker 1: blue Sesame Streets, and it's Cookie Monster and Gonzo dot
Speaker 1: Com is a muppet. I mean they're all technically muppets,
Speaker 1: but like Gonzo is more Jim Hens. You're telling me
Speaker 1: Gonzo wasn't in Sesame Street. He might have made it
Speaker 1: a cameo like Kermit would every now and then, but
Speaker 1: he wasn't a staple character. Oh my god, is it
Speaker 1: crazy that we're not saying Big Bird? Absolutely? I never
Speaker 1: loved Big Bird and I feel bad saying that even
Speaker 1: out loud. What is it about unpacked? I think, I think, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I may be too big
Speaker 1: trying to feel weird about saying out loud because you
Speaker 1: know what I saw. I saw that Billy on the
Speaker 1: Street episode where was Big birdy Michelle Obama in that
Speaker 1: grocery store, and I did not understand the engineering behind
Speaker 1: that puppet. I was like, how many people are in
Speaker 1: There's got to be a person in a suit, right,
Speaker 1: But it's it's like an eight foot tall thing. It's
Speaker 1: on still se guarantee. But then no, because the arms
Speaker 1: and the arms are gigantic, The hands are gigantic. Someone's
Speaker 1: operating the blinking like and the mouth like, what helm?
Speaker 1: What is the mechanism? I think it's also because a
Speaker 1: lot of the muppets felt like kids to me, and
Speaker 1: for some reason, Big Bird did not feel like a kid.
Speaker 1: But I think that might have been my size bias.
Speaker 1: Your your size in the in the queer community, your
Speaker 1: size queen. Um. And I want to say that Big
Speaker 1: Bird a little two chilled out and I said, kid,
Speaker 1: it really it rattled, it was jarring. I was like,
Speaker 1: why is he that calm? No one should be this calm.
Speaker 1: I don't get it at all. I think it's very disquieting.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, And I also would say that, um,
Speaker 1: what would you say? I would say that big bird, Um.
Speaker 1: The timbre of Big Bird's voice something was very wrong
Speaker 1: like this, Yeah, something was very wrong bird story like that.
Speaker 1: But they don't talk like that. Also, I have to
Speaker 1: answer this question, what kind of bird is that? I mean,
Speaker 1: we don't that's that's we get that. We understand that
Speaker 1: it's a big bird, but we don't know what kind
Speaker 1: of bird that is. And I demand, and you're you
Speaker 1: are setting an unrealistic expectation in child's minds about what
Speaker 1: an avian creature looks like. Yeah, they don't look like that.
Speaker 1: They don't look like that. They certainly don't. And honestly,
Speaker 1: is this sort of ostrich because and it's certainly why
Speaker 1: is it in New York? Certainly why you know what?
Speaker 1: This is a fashion icon on Sesame Street. The Count,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, the Count is a count of the accessories,
Speaker 1: the cape, Yeah, the hair. You're gonna come for Cookie
Speaker 1: about being just about cookie, and you're not going to
Speaker 1: come for Count about just being counting. It's ridiculous. Numbers,
Speaker 1: very pro capitalism. I would argue that the Counts obsession
Speaker 1: with numbers means that he wants to have a conversation.
Speaker 1: He wants to talk to the world in terms of
Speaker 1: universal languages, which is math, which is numbers. Everyone knows
Speaker 1: what numbers are. Everyone can relate to numbers no matter what.
Speaker 1: I'm with you now, it's a universal language. The Count
Speaker 1: is a diplomat, the diplomat of Tessamey. Straight. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I would say, I love Elmo, but I have a
Speaker 1: problem with Elmo. Yeah, And it's less to do with
Speaker 1: Elmo as a person and more to do with the
Speaker 1: way I believe he was presented. Over time, his thing
Speaker 1: became too much about tickling. And you know, as we
Speaker 1: go for a time, you have this idea that you know,
Speaker 1: not everyone would want to be tickled, invitations to tickle,
Speaker 1: the the the child that was Elmo. I just I
Speaker 1: don't know if I feel comfortable with his image being tickle. Yes,
Speaker 1: did you guys see Tickle the documentary? No, I've heard
Speaker 1: about this up and down. Though I'm normally not disturbed,
Speaker 1: it was super disturbed. But also because I don't even know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to give it away, not that you
Speaker 1: can really give a documentary away. Talk more about it, though,
Speaker 1: I feel like Tickle is like it's like a it's
Speaker 1: like a documentary front, like the premises a front, and
Speaker 1: then when they when you learn what it actually is,
Speaker 1: it gets a lot darker. Oh no, yeah, it's like, um,
Speaker 1: million dollar baby, it's a millionar but the front is
Speaker 1: a rom com. But then you realize it's more than that.
Speaker 1: It's more than that. It's it's a sports film. You
Speaker 1: haven't seen that film. I haven't. You haven't seen million Dollars.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't like dollars. Here's here I'll tell you
Speaker 1: this when you you know a little bit about Million
Speaker 1: Dollar Baby. What do you think it's about in sports? Boxing? Right?
Speaker 1: You think it's about boxing? It's not. I will give
Speaker 1: you what a way what it is. It is a
Speaker 1: drama about euthan asia. Really, who's being euthanized? Would you
Speaker 1: like me to tell you? Spoiler alert for those of
Speaker 1: you out there who have not seen the two thousand
Speaker 1: four film that one Best Picture at the Oscars, Million
Speaker 1: Dollar Baby, I'm going to give away the end of
Speaker 1: stop tell you in the movie very much in the
Speaker 1: film in a supporting role. Okay, who gets euthanized. There
Speaker 1: is a scene where Hilary Swank is boxing and she
Speaker 1: is there's a break in the match and she swung
Speaker 1: at by her competitor. She gets punched, falls and she
Speaker 1: snaps her neck on the chair. So this happens, like
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, there's a chair nearby. Listen. Best Picture winner.
Speaker 1: We can't argue with that. The logic is inarguable, you know,
Speaker 1: like many before. So just like Crash, you can't argue
Speaker 1: with perfect film. It just one. It's perfect. Nothing problematical
Speaker 1: horrible about it at all, not even a bad script.
Speaker 1: It won So she snaps her neck on this chair,
Speaker 1: which is there, and then this happens about two thirds
Speaker 1: of the movie in so there's a lot of movie
Speaker 1: left to go. The check offs gun of the movie
Speaker 1: is a chair. I don't even think the chair appears
Speaker 1: in the first thing. So there's no warning about this chair.
Speaker 1: There's never even a character that says, like, better watch
Speaker 1: out for these chairs. You know, if you leave him out,
Speaker 1: someone could snap that at And but you're not, You're
Speaker 1: you're saying there's not even one seating suitable piece of
Speaker 1: furniture in the first two after it's very suspect, but
Speaker 1: one best picture, okay, we can't question it. Okay. So
Speaker 1: so she does snap her neck on this chair, and
Speaker 1: she's unconscious, she becomes paraplegic, and so there is no
Speaker 1: one there or okay, her mother is very like white trash,
Speaker 1: like wants her to like give her the money that
Speaker 1: she has from being a boxer or something like they
Speaker 1: want to like this is very upsetting scene where like
Speaker 1: all her life, Hillary tried to gain the favor of
Speaker 1: her family and like the love of her family, and um,
Speaker 1: she's the mother comes there and she's like pretending to
Speaker 1: love her and everything, and then she wants her to
Speaker 1: sign um this piece of paper that says they're going
Speaker 1: to get all her money or something. And she comes
Speaker 1: literally in her like Disney World Mickey Mouse shirt, like
Speaker 1: they're like on the way, I think, and she goes
Speaker 1: as far as to put the pen in Hillary Swank's
Speaker 1: mouth to get because she can't use the rest of
Speaker 1: her body. She's a quadriplegic. She's a quadriplegic. She's a
Speaker 1: complete yes, she's completely unable to move from the Okay,
Speaker 1: there's harrowing scenes of her trying to like end it
Speaker 1: because she's like a boxer. She wants to live, she
Speaker 1: wants she doesn't want to live anymore. It's horrible and
Speaker 1: you don't you think the movie is going to be
Speaker 1: about a woman boxer, but it's nuts paraplegia. It's very
Speaker 1: quadra quadriplegia. So she puts the pen in Hillary Spank's
Speaker 1: mouth and Hillary supposed to like sign it with her mouth,
Speaker 1: and Hillary Spank, Hillary Swank, Hillary Spank, She's spits out
Speaker 1: the pen and says get out of here, and the
Speaker 1: mother like leaves in a huff. And so she says
Speaker 1: to Clint Eastwood, you know what I want you to do?
Speaker 1: And he she is giving him the message that she
Speaker 1: doesn't want to live anymore and she's not able to
Speaker 1: carry this out, so she puts it to him to
Speaker 1: make the decision to end her life and he does. WHOA,
Speaker 1: that's a lot. That is a lot. It is a lot.
Speaker 1: I wish you could see. Actually that was always so
Speaker 1: heartbreaking about it because like it want all these oscars
Speaker 1: and always finally want the second best actually Ascar who
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be about boxing, gonna be triumphant, story
Speaker 1: of the spirit, triumph, triumph, triumph, triumph, and then you
Speaker 1: go there and it's just just devastating. Yeah, it's hard,
Speaker 1: and he's really plays some real tragedies. Yeah, she doesn't
Speaker 1: know how to do light. Hilary Swank, she did one
Speaker 1: light movie. I want to say, what did she do
Speaker 1: that was ever? Besides playing Heidi Clum in an snl ST.
Speaker 1: She was really good and she was a really good
Speaker 1: Heidi Clum on project. Yeah, she bizarrely does all these
Speaker 1: tragedies and then she's like one of the better likes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think. I think there's a there's
Speaker 1: a campaign to be had about about booking her for something. Um,
Speaker 1: you know light you know what Freedom writer. Remember that
Speaker 1: movie she did Freedom that you know that had some
Speaker 1: darkness in it. You know that kind of been a
Speaker 1: joy to watch the whole time. She was in a
Speaker 1: movie about like, Hi, I'm a white woman at this
Speaker 1: all black school and we're going to how to write
Speaker 1: literally I Love you. Sure she was in PS I
Speaker 1: Love You and her husband is dead in the time.
Speaker 1: All Right, you're right, she's heavy, having its follows her.
Speaker 1: She's heavy. Let me tell you something, she's no nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with heavy though she's no Rachel McAdams. Well, all
Speaker 1: right to any actress that's been in any light movie anyway. Um,
Speaker 1: Sesame Street. Yes, I just want to just to Sesame Streight. Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, for me, growing up a little little
Speaker 1: boy not really knowing what English is, it was a
Speaker 1: very it was a very nice thing to have. That's
Speaker 1: you know that that that that's just what I wanted
Speaker 1: to say. I'm getting looks. I was no, I was
Speaker 1: just I just suddenly had a flashback to when I
Speaker 1: was in like maybe fourth grade, and this girl who
Speaker 1: was like the cool girl said she never watched ses
Speaker 1: My Street even when she was little and I was
Speaker 1: so disturbed by what it took to be cool in
Speaker 1: my mind. What happened to her that what I don't know,
Speaker 1: what it took to be cool in your mind was
Speaker 1: like withhold like just or just not well that even
Speaker 1: when you're like four, you know that sys Street is
Speaker 1: for babies. Damn that sucks for that even when you're four, Like,
Speaker 1: being cool is not engaged with something. I hate that.
Speaker 1: I hate superiority. I think it's the least a track
Speaker 1: active quality, well outside of like you knows, which is
Speaker 1: a form of superiority. Absolutely, thank you, Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 1: I just I don't like it when people come in
Speaker 1: there and they say I'm not doing that, I'm better
Speaker 1: than this, or when they roll their eyes like I
Speaker 1: remember this is this happened to me in high school.
Speaker 1: We were playing man Hunt and we're far too old.
Speaker 1: Were playing and some kid drove up in his car
Speaker 1: and he was two years younger than us too. We
Speaker 1: were like seventeen years old playing man Hunt. I'm not familiar.
Speaker 1: Manhunt is like Hide and go Seek, but higher steaks
Speaker 1: because it takes place hard at night and on a
Speaker 1: larger scale. Okay, okay, okay, okay, And he was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to play man Hunt. And I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: you are so much better than Although if you were
Speaker 1: in a social situation now and everyone was like, let's
Speaker 1: play man hunt and hide around the fucking city, you'd
Speaker 1: say no for different reasons. You wouldn't say no because
Speaker 1: you were better than you would say no because and listen,
Speaker 1: that's not safe. We live in New York City a
Speaker 1: good time in this climate. Absolutely absolutely to be jumping
Speaker 1: out screaming. I just I just think there's a really
Speaker 1: fine line between superiority and just discomfort and saying no.
Speaker 1: You're putting a lot of you're putting a lot of
Speaker 1: stigma on saying no, and that's not the time to
Speaker 1: be doing this. So I think you should really think
Speaker 1: about what you're saying. Matt. I'm sorry, party, you're catching
Speaker 1: us at a really antagonistic time. Um, but you know
Speaker 1: this is this is just the dynamic. It's because of
Speaker 1: the weather. I think it's because of the weather. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back
Speaker 1: with a partner in Charlot. Okay, listen to everybody. We
Speaker 1: have a new initiative in place. It's time to talk
Speaker 1: some business, wouldn't you say, bo I would say so absolutely. Now,

Speaker 1: we have done pretty well. I think glass cultures. So
Speaker 1: we we've had a good fun time here, good fun time.

Speaker 1: the stars and reach for the top of the charts. Charts.

Speaker 1: going to be Joe Rogan, guys, we fucked and us
Speaker 1: sorry my favorite murder, Bye bye, and we're back with
Speaker 1: a partner. A partner. Okay, tell us about because because
Speaker 1: the marketing for the show, Corporate is very minimalist. I
Speaker 1: don't really know. I haven't seen anything about it yet
Speaker 1: explained all the promo sports, so I'm not sure even
Speaker 1: what you've seen, I've seen subway posters. Oh yeah, that
Speaker 1: is very minimal. Which is just Comedy Central is corporate.
Speaker 1: It's very It's very much like what the Netflix is doing,
Speaker 1: Like Netflix is a joke. I feel like it's sort
Speaker 1: of pulling from that same idea. Maybe I'm not getting it.
Speaker 1: I'm still not getting it's just it's all it is
Speaker 1: is that that the ads are Comedy Central is like
Speaker 1: corporate or something, and it's just white letters on black
Speaker 1: nothing else. After having been in the show, do you
Speaker 1: know what it is? More than like what they would
Speaker 1: let on in the in the because it sounds like
Speaker 1: the people making the posters don't know what it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oh well, it is a workplace comedy about a giant
Speaker 1: Soulis corporation, So I think maybe they're trying to emulate
Speaker 1: that soullessness and how it's this like monolith brand and
Speaker 1: everyone sort of just squirms under its reach. Now, what's
Speaker 1: your role in the show. I am the two main characters.
Speaker 1: They're like junior executives, and I am their friend who
Speaker 1: works in HR. You're the HR wker, the OFT I'm
Speaker 1: going to say the OFT sort of worshiped or OFT maligned.
Speaker 1: It's it's very hard to live in a middle ground
Speaker 1: with HR. In my experience, I've never had an HR person.
Speaker 1: I've only ever worked in restaurants and the like, right,
Speaker 1: they never have, They absolutely not, and that's the place
Speaker 1: where they should be the most. So you guys have
Speaker 1: both dealt with HR people. Yes, So did you pull?
Speaker 1: Did you pull from real life? Yeah? But it's funny
Speaker 1: because this show is like sort of the whole, Like
Speaker 1: corporations are people, mentality, capitalism is king. So I think
Speaker 1: the HR person in this environment is a little bit
Speaker 1: always at odds with Okay, so you're sort of like
Speaker 1: an antagonizing antagonistic yeah, where I'm just like struggling with
Speaker 1: trying to do my job. Yes, yes, oh I would
Speaker 1: watch you do that for a hundred episodes syndicate. I
Speaker 1: am yes, I love that. I'm so excited. What is
Speaker 1: the premiere? January? Okay, that's a Wednesday. How do you
Speaker 1: know this? Why do you know? I just I have
Speaker 1: that weekend. But you have a sixth tool. I have
Speaker 1: a sixth tool, which is calendars, Gregorian calendars. Unbelievable that
Speaker 1: you just no, no, no, no, it's amazing stop incredible. Um,
Speaker 1: that's a So. Who's ind I like, I really don't
Speaker 1: know anything. What the show us? Jake Weisseman and Matt
Speaker 1: Ingbertson or the two leads, and they co wrote and
Speaker 1: created it with Pat Bishop, who's the director. Rates I
Speaker 1: love Jake Wiseman. Yeah, they're they're both real good in it.
Speaker 1: Nice nice, nice, And then um is it? Just give it?
Speaker 1: Give us the whole rundown single cam single no laugh track,
Speaker 1: no laugh track. Okay, okay, while I'm out, I'm not
Speaker 1: watching that. I need I need multicam laugh track. Do
Speaker 1: you like any of those shows now? Like any multi camp,
Speaker 1: the multicam loop. Yeah, I wouldn't even know what is
Speaker 1: I should be watching. All I know are comedians, I
Speaker 1: know making fun of Young Sheldon, right of course. And
Speaker 1: that's not even a multi camp. It's not I have
Speaker 1: to break the news about not a multi camp. It
Speaker 1: is a single cam show. And I was shocked when
Speaker 1: I was watching it, and do like we hate that.
Speaker 1: I think I hate it and I would hate it
Speaker 1: either way. But I'll tell you what I was watching
Speaker 1: prior to that, and then I saw that Young Sheldon
Speaker 1: was what it was the show Mom with Alison, Jenny
Speaker 1: and fis. Yeah, it's funny. I've heard that before, that
Speaker 1: it's funny. And also I will say this, it's like
Speaker 1: the Land of Lost comunic Actresses because Jamie Pressley is yeah,
Speaker 1: and Missy Pyle isn't great and it's like the four
Speaker 1: of them and you're like, where are they like like
Speaker 1: and there that's where they are. And I'm sure they're
Speaker 1: getting CBS money. They're doing fun The great. I will
Speaker 1: say Jamie Presley was in a fat suit. No fat
Speaker 1: suit comedy is like alive and well on CBS. None
Speaker 1: of us know about it. But what's happening, like like
Speaker 1: her character always her no, no, no, I think that
Speaker 1: her character on the show has gained weight and it's
Speaker 1: funny and she's in a fat suit and that's funny. See.
Speaker 1: I think this is all signaling towards um there there
Speaker 1: will I I can't wait for the next prestige multi
Speaker 1: cam show. I think we're due for that. What would
Speaker 1: you say the last one was? I mean like maybe Seinfeld,
Speaker 1: I mean that whatever, that's like the in terms of
Speaker 1: actual prestige, in terms of like what's what garnered awards
Speaker 1: a lot of the Adventures of Things, the Adventures of
Speaker 1: Christine Want, things like How I Met Your Mother? And
Speaker 1: then like there's also Two and a Half Man. Was
Speaker 1: it was nominated for ship doesn't mean it's actually good.
Speaker 1: But in terms of prestige, I guess mom she won
Speaker 1: Best Supporting Actress. A couple of times I'm saying, like
Speaker 1: something that is like actually good, I'm no, not even that,
Speaker 1: because I'm sure these shows are great, but it's like
Speaker 1: something that is not necessarily pandering towards like, of course
Speaker 1: Middle America, which is fine, Like there's I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: there's plenty of that. Populist is populist for a reason,
Speaker 1: Populist people like and so I just wanted to be
Speaker 1: like a multi came show that's like a little bit
Speaker 1: like whoa. This is like specialized in some way, you know,
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying, but corporate. Okay. I'm so exciting
Speaker 1: now because it's got great people, it's got you, and
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a very relevant premise and um I
Speaker 1: can't wait to see it. What else can you tell
Speaker 1: us about it? Um? So? The CEO is played by
Speaker 1: Lane and Spreddick and he's really great. Oh I know
Speaker 1: him from Lost Yeah and Wire even Wow, he's kind
Speaker 1: of scary. Is He's perfect? Great? So good? Okay, great casting, Okay,
Speaker 1: great casting. I want to say one more thing about Mom,
Speaker 1: because you moved on to another conversation like that, and
Speaker 1: this is what I want to say. Okay, it's it
Speaker 1: is bordering on a prestige topic because it's about a
Speaker 1: mother and daughter who are both recovering alcoholics, and everyone
Speaker 1: on the show is a recovering alcohol that's great, which
Speaker 1: which is good. And also I think it's like it does.
Speaker 1: It's not like, well, she fell off the wag. It's
Speaker 1: not that kind of humorous. It's just about these women
Speaker 1: who are and it's all women. The cast is all women,
Speaker 1: and it's about these women that have this kind of
Speaker 1: community that they were alcoholics. Every episode I think has
Speaker 1: like at least a scene in a where they're all
Speaker 1: kind of chatting and talking to each other and it's
Speaker 1: actually this kind of nice thread and it's actually there
Speaker 1: were some moments in it that was actually funny. Yes,
Speaker 1: that was a fat suit, but you know, I guess
Speaker 1: on CBS you can't have at all. But it was
Speaker 1: a different kind of thing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I can actually see that being
Speaker 1: brought into a pitch meeting and being like, huh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's actually really interesting. And you know, it's not like
Speaker 1: you know, your thirty rocks or you're whatever's It didn't
Speaker 1: have fat suits either, employed some sort of humor that
Speaker 1: was in that same vein what are you saying that
Speaker 1: Tina fe isn't perfect? No, I'm saying that, like that
Speaker 1: kind of humor, that kind of humor sort of like
Speaker 1: pervades everything. I mean it's through everything. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: like there's gonna be easy jokes everywhere. It's just that
Speaker 1: this character is like arc right now is that she's
Speaker 1: fully in a fat suit and it's just like it's
Speaker 1: just funny that that's happening. And we don't know what
Speaker 1: do you mean? We don't know because that's not that
Speaker 1: show isn't like our jam Sure, but it's like, I
Speaker 1: mean you have like you have like fat suit Betty
Speaker 1: drap Burr, and like that's it's not a comedy, but
Speaker 1: it's like it's that same thing of like whoa like
Speaker 1: this is her stories that she gained weight, Like, well,
Speaker 1: I well that's different. I think. Okay, here's what I
Speaker 1: think it's different because Betty's waking. That's like a dramatic
Speaker 1: beat in her character's life, whereas Jamie Presley wearing a
Speaker 1: fat suit on Mom is two figures into her journey
Speaker 1: coming out of alcohol. Maybe maybe I'm just saying the
Speaker 1: way it was depicted in both well, you know what,
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. They both also had a dark black
Speaker 1: wig because of course you're nuts. I don't know what's
Speaker 1: going on. They look like a fucking man look much worse,
Speaker 1: much worse, much much worse. Um, I mean I um,
Speaker 1: I think there. I never watched um god, I never
Speaker 1: watched Workaholics. I feel like I've been like really jonesing
Speaker 1: for like a workplace comedy too, because I'm interested. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wasn't a big Workaholics pert than either, but it
Speaker 1: was you know, massively popular. That was a single camera.
Speaker 1: That was single cam. I feel like some people say
Speaker 1: it like it paved the way for broad City in
Speaker 1: some way. That was just like this like really buddy vibe,
Speaker 1: the buddy vibe, and like, you know, you flip it,
Speaker 1: and this might seem simplistic too, but you flip that,
Speaker 1: like what if it were two women. Well, it feels
Speaker 1: like Comedy Central kind of has like audiences right now.
Speaker 1: They have like their broad City and inside Amy Schumer audience,
Speaker 1: and then you got your like Workaholics and like Tosh audience.
Speaker 1: So where would you say that the show fits in
Speaker 1: totally if you were, Well, that's what's interesting. It doesn't
Speaker 1: feel like it fits squarely in either of right, because
Speaker 1: I think there are veins of Um, I wouldn't say
Speaker 1: it's browie at all, which I think tash and workaholics
Speaker 1: might welcome brows more easily, but it's not anti bro either,
Speaker 1: so I feel like they might not know what exactly
Speaker 1: how to feel about it. But see, I like that
Speaker 1: this is like a four quadrant. I say, a four
Speaker 1: quadrant show hits all the quads. What are the quads
Speaker 1: you would call? I would say, Um, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna you know you traditionally you would break this
Speaker 1: down by aid group and by gender. But I know, well,
Speaker 1: that's what the industry is doing, and so we should
Speaker 1: do it too, because the industry is, of course right absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying I'm gonna let's
Speaker 1: let's all make our own quadrants. Maybe as an exercise,
Speaker 1: I'll start, Um, you know, people who stay at home
Speaker 1: and um, you know, have like a little tub of
Speaker 1: chicken salad in the fridge. Seems like a small quadrant.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people fall under the umbrella. And
Speaker 1: another quadrant is people who um like well, um, like
Speaker 1: right down on a piece of paper, like must shop
Speaker 1: for candles? Um, yes, And then but you would be surprised, um,
Speaker 1: and that this is so general. Um. And then people
Speaker 1: who um write down on a piece of paper. Um,
Speaker 1: this is a different quadrant. Must go shopping for candles
Speaker 1: and chocolate? Yea, how many for there's only one more?
Speaker 1: There's only one more candles. You have people with the
Speaker 1: chicken salad, people that do both. Who do you know? Who?
Speaker 1: Who write down? Must bike candles and chocolate? Okay? And
Speaker 1: what's the fourth quad everyone? People who live in Nebraska? Okay?
Speaker 1: Those are the four quadrants? And I think I think
Speaker 1: I'm so excited that corporate hits all of those. That's amazing.
Speaker 1: What would you say the quadrants are for you? For me,
Speaker 1: there's two. That's not a quadrant. Theres are just two halves. Okay.
Speaker 1: For me, there's four. There's ocean people, mountain people yes,
Speaker 1: desert people yes, and forest people. Which one are you? Yes?
Speaker 1: Ocean I'm found Long Island, which is an island. Um
Speaker 1: islanded by water, So I have to be an ocean person.
Speaker 1: And there's very little mountains or desert or well there's forest.
Speaker 1: But you know, sure, I'm probably closer to that quadrant.
Speaker 1: I mean the ocean person. I mean I from I
Speaker 1: could bring under water too, I should say that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've digged. It was two quadrants. You thought it was
Speaker 1: two quadrants. No, I thought it was so the so
Speaker 1: the two axes are age and gender, So I thought
Speaker 1: it was young males eighteen to thirty four and then
Speaker 1: everyone else. Wow, well that's I think a part of
Speaker 1: making a comment. I'd like to make a comment. She'd
Speaker 1: love to make a comment. And you know what one
Speaker 1: of the four quadrants for you? Well, I guess if
Speaker 1: they get one quadrant, then the other three would be
Speaker 1: everyone else and separated by what old babies, and third
Speaker 1: would be non age conforming. That's one we haven't gotten
Speaker 1: too yet, non non age conforming truly. I mean, who
Speaker 1: knows I identify nine. I'm not going to be one.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be someone who's who speaks to identity
Speaker 1: politics around age, whether it's valid or not. But you
Speaker 1: know what, it's a quadrant, and so we've acknowledged their existence.
Speaker 1: Whatever happened with Rachel dol is All, she she sat there,
Speaker 1: sure she had or has a book coming up? Oh,
Speaker 1: you gotta get the book. Um. You know, if you're
Speaker 1: Rachel dol is All and you don't have a book,
Speaker 1: you missed the boat play her in a movie? Street
Speaker 1: You know what Why didn't I even think about that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know who would play her. I'll tell you
Speaker 1: what ye to remember when Angelina Jolie straight up did
Speaker 1: do black face. And what movie Mighty Heart she played
Speaker 1: Angelina Jolie. Yeah, she played the journalist Marian Mighty went. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she played the journalist Pearl who was black. Ever said
Speaker 1: anything about she was nominated for awards? This was this
Speaker 1: was within ten years ago. Yeah, this, this is a
Speaker 1: thing that's crazy. That's crazy. Yeah, and it wasn't. It
Speaker 1: was played straight up. It wasn't like some like comments
Speaker 1: on that like tropic Thunder, I mean, which still is
Speaker 1: like right on the edge, but like it was fully
Speaker 1: her playing someone who was not her ethnicity. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: I take back what I said about Katherine Hahn because
Speaker 1: that would be like a little controversial. I think you
Speaker 1: need to cast someone, um who has the background of
Speaker 1: both and that would be like a Mia Roudolf. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's if it's not Meryl, if it's not Meryl or
Speaker 1: of and then if it's not Maya, then it's Catherine
Speaker 1: my Rudolf actually is amazing actress. Did you see Away
Speaker 1: we Go? No Fact, the one with Jim Christen's John
Speaker 1: Chine very similar, very similar, Maggie Jillen Hall and then
Speaker 1: Maggie Jillen Hall was good in that. And if you're
Speaker 1: married to Paul Thomas Anderson, you've got to have the chops.
Speaker 1: She's she's great in big mouth. Um okay um. So
Speaker 1: I think this is like I'm scared to watch the
Speaker 1: show a little bit because it's gonna it's gonna feel
Speaker 1: like real. Reason now you put it in her head
Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no no no no no, and
Speaker 1: made the show seemed terrify, No, not terrific, because it's
Speaker 1: going to feel like really, it's gonna just elicit like, wow,
Speaker 1: capitalism is bad. It's this bad. It's this bad at
Speaker 1: every level. It's this bad at every company. And but
Speaker 1: you know what you're making. You're making it humorous, so
Speaker 1: that will be it's actually one number. It's really number
Speaker 1: seventy five of culture. You gotta have big humorous. I
Speaker 1: gotta make fun of my words. I don't I know
Speaker 1: my heart. No, I don't know my words, but I
Speaker 1: know my heart. That's Michael quote Matt Rodgers. Look, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna watch the show regardless. Look, I think you've done
Speaker 1: a great job of promoting it. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: come here and say that you're on a shitty job
Speaker 1: promoting it. I'm not gonna come over and ship on
Speaker 1: my guests. A partner. We've been trying to get a
Speaker 1: partner on the show for what seventeen years? Seventeen years?
Speaker 1: And you know what I was since you were one
Speaker 1: year old? Is your one of course identifies as being
Speaker 1: eighteen year old woman, partner. I think, um, you um
Speaker 1: could be cast as young as five. Thank you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I know, like maybe, like you know, maybe,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're you know, for your next role,
Speaker 1: if you want to play under your age, over your age,
Speaker 1: but I think you have you can reach that far back.
Speaker 1: That's so nice. Have you guys seen Lady Bird? Yes,
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. I haven't either, but I but
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, she's so young, but then she's
Speaker 1: playing a little younger playing she's playing Yeah she is. Well.
Speaker 1: By the time this episode is out, she'll have hosted SNL.
Speaker 1: I think she'll be wonderful. I'm excited. I'm very excited
Speaker 1: to acually be wonderful. I think she's a talented actress
Speaker 1: and also it's a very Irish episode because the musical
Speaker 1: guest is you to what can you believe that? How
Speaker 1: huge that is for Ireland's big win. That episode is
Speaker 1: the big They better have some Ireland sketches. Yes, I
Speaker 1: want to see a Blarney stone. Can I tell you something? Yes.
Speaker 1: I was recently in a room where there was being
Speaker 1: sketches pitched and somebody wanted to do a sketch about
Speaker 1: the potato famine. And somebody spoke up and said, we
Speaker 1: can't do that because it might offend some Irish people.
Speaker 1: Or there was like a potato joke, and so almost
Speaker 1: like we can't do that joke because it might offend
Speaker 1: Irish people. And that's when I think we've just gone
Speaker 1: too far. We need to be able to make jokes
Speaker 1: about potatoes with Irish people in the audience, and we
Speaker 1: have to laugh at that. Sure. I mean, I call
Speaker 1: me Jerry sein felt about that. I won't go on
Speaker 1: to any campus where I can't be an Irish person
Speaker 1: and sit there and take a take a potato joke.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what was it punching up? I guess
Speaker 1: that's a valid question. I don't remember. If it's punching up,
Speaker 1: then maybe, but you can't punch down at starving Irish people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: was it was? It taken down big potato, big potato.
Speaker 1: I think it's happened long ago enough that we can
Speaker 1: talk about the potatoes, don't you think? Yeah? Okay, what's
Speaker 1: your what's your disposition? Now? Nothing? I'm agree. I'm agreeing
Speaker 1: with you a partner. Let's say you go to a college.
Speaker 1: Did you do? You still do colleges? You go to
Speaker 1: a college, you said, they say you can't joke about
Speaker 1: blank and you and and whatever? This is you? You walk,
Speaker 1: you go, I'm sorry, I can't do the show. Oh
Speaker 1: what would that be? I guess depression? So sure, okay, great? Yeah,
Speaker 1: And then you'd be like, okay, I can't do that.
Speaker 1: I can't do the show. It's fair. Do you have
Speaker 1: a writer at all? When you go to the go
Speaker 1: to places? I keep forgetting I have to fill one out. Really,
Speaker 1: I have the default one right now, which is water.
Speaker 1: It's water, and like usually they'll put out like three
Speaker 1: granola bars and like two pieces of fruit, and it
Speaker 1: just looks real sad, but that's a solid right. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I would ask for more. I would have decondends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I definitely would. I would get probably like a bullish
Speaker 1: Harries and you know a little bit of microwave popcorn
Speaker 1: by nearby, just micro wave nothing gourmet, um, and like
Speaker 1: a kind of whip cream or something, you know. For
Speaker 1: the of course, there couldn't be anyone speaking to me
Speaker 1: the whole time. Yes, yeah, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: spoking to that seems that seems reasonable. That one's hard
Speaker 1: because there's all those student papers who want a piece
Speaker 1: of you. Yeah, and I would not want to talk
Speaker 1: to them. And if they did speak to me, I
Speaker 1: would really really really um hurt somebody that would be
Speaker 1: That would be awful. Absolutely yea um what now I
Speaker 1: think I still want to I still want to ask
Speaker 1: a partner, what would what would the additional items be
Speaker 1: if you would? Yeah, if if if we had given you,
Speaker 1: we'd say a point, we can get you anything for
Speaker 1: your last culture racist appearance. Oh what would I have
Speaker 1: a requested? Yeah? Oh man, probably the latest self help book.
Speaker 1: Okay to read while you're waiting for this to go on,
Speaker 1: just in the mix, just skim through it like bedroom slippers, yes,
Speaker 1: want to not wear shoes. Um, maybe like a low
Speaker 1: key pillow. Yeah, it's something just items that you could
Speaker 1: use to build a nest. Yes, absolutely nesting self care items.
Speaker 1: One quick question before we go to I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey out This is really important when you get home.
Speaker 1: Shoes come off O me too right away. I feel
Speaker 1: weird walking around my apartment with my shoes on. I
Speaker 1: thought you were going to say, I feel we're walking
Speaker 1: around with shoes, and I was gonna say, yes, I
Speaker 1: don't want to wear no shoes. If I could get
Speaker 1: away with not wearing shoes in New York, I would that.
Speaker 1: It seems like a risk. It seems like a risk.
Speaker 1: You want to know something kind of weird about me.
Speaker 1: I can't sleep with socks on. That's not that's that's
Speaker 1: not weird. Why there's a qualifier. I can't of a
Speaker 1: saxon because when I was little, my uncle told us
Speaker 1: that if we slept with saxon then Boogeyman would get
Speaker 1: us and come out at the closet. And I still
Speaker 1: can't sleep. Why would you do that? Because it's a
Speaker 1: terrorists and emotional terrorists. Can't you have to grow out
Speaker 1: of that? I know it's so hard. I'm also superstitious
Speaker 1: because of my mother don't step on any cracks, don't
Speaker 1: walk under any ladders. Yeah, I know, it's really crazy.
Speaker 1: Also the number thirteen. Terrified of the thing. Oh the number,
Speaker 1: the number number thirteen. Don't like it, black cats, I
Speaker 1: will turn around and go the other way. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm very superstitious, as Michael Scott on the Office say,
Speaker 1: I'm not superstitious, but I am a little which I
Speaker 1: think is one of the great community. Great community quote,
Speaker 1: and um, you know on that note, I think it's
Speaker 1: time to go. And time don't think one minutes of
Speaker 1: one minutes of quotes. Now, for those of you who
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't think so, honey, is our segment
Speaker 1: where we take one minute to rail against something. This
Speaker 1: episode very measured. We love the vibe. I love the vibe. Um,
Speaker 1: this is Matt. You said you had one ready, I
Speaker 1: do I have one. I need to speak on this, Okay.
Speaker 1: So this is Matt Rodgers. And so Matt will go,
Speaker 1: I'll go, and then a partner Okay, then I'll be ready. Perfect. Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is Matt Rodgers is I don't think so honey.
Speaker 1: Time starts now, I don't think so honey. Megan McCain, Listen,
Speaker 1: I would take fifteen Jeddedi Jenoiabela's before one. Megan McCain,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. Megan McCain, you are not
Speaker 1: who I want to see a co hosting The View.
Speaker 1: Listen if you're gonna be conservative and blonde on the View,
Speaker 1: be tolerable. Listen if if when they turn to you
Speaker 1: to talk about the frilly pop culture stuff, have something
Speaker 1: to say. Megan McCain, you're always like, I don't know
Speaker 1: what we're talking about this when it's like about it's like, bitch,
Speaker 1: that's what you are there to do. You're there to
Speaker 1: have an opinion of you on everything. I will say
Speaker 1: this when this and also I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: the View the second most intelligent person on the whole
Speaker 1: panel of Sarah Haynes, we have a problem. I will
Speaker 1: say this joy it's so we get a joy. It's
Speaker 1: the same, It's been the same. Sonny Holston. You can
Speaker 1: say you're a lawyer, as as I don't think that
Speaker 1: smart you. Megan McCain, you offer nothing bring back to
Speaker 1: to Diabella whoo Be. You You are amazing and definitely
Speaker 1: the icon, but you check in and check out, but
Speaker 1: this is about Megan McCain and I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: Megan mcain, this daughter of John McCain, and that's one minute.
Speaker 1: That kind of well, can I tell you, I don't
Speaker 1: like mean it like I would rather have Elizabeth Hasselback
Speaker 1: than Megan McCain. At least she's compelling. At least she's
Speaker 1: like like I don't know, at least there's like some
Speaker 1: spirit to her, like Megan mcain. It's like she's been
Speaker 1: on I watched the View and Megan mcain, she has
Speaker 1: been on the show for like two months. We had
Speaker 1: to celebrate her birthday and her wedding. Bitch, we don't
Speaker 1: know you earn it? Earnest. I looked at HPJ in
Speaker 1: the eyes when I say this, Megan mcannis to earn it?
Speaker 1: What has she done to earn it? Her father is
Speaker 1: who he is? No. Also, stop back and look at
Speaker 1: the cable news. You need to take a daytime talk
Speaker 1: show hosting course because you are not welcoming. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just I don't like her. There's there's an art
Speaker 1: to it, and she's she's not there's an aptitude gap.
Speaker 1: And also she does that thing I was talking to
Speaker 1: a friend and he brought something, brought something up, really
Speaker 1: a stupid she does that little spoiled rich girl thing,
Speaker 1: which is the second you don't let her say everything
Speaker 1: she wanted to say, she throws up fit. It's like
Speaker 1: if she doesn't get all the way through a thought
Speaker 1: and like somebody jumps in, which they do on the
Speaker 1: view because we just ain't got time. She'll throw up
Speaker 1: her hands and be like, well, I guess that I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to do what I'm supposed to
Speaker 1: be here to do. But just to give the other perspective,
Speaker 1: shut up. And they fired Jenna's Aabila to get her
Speaker 1: and look, Jenny's Abila is like a libertarian and like
Speaker 1: I had my problems with her, like she sometimes I
Speaker 1: was like, oh God, that's insane the things that she says.
Speaker 1: And she was like one of those people that's like
Speaker 1: Hillary I could never vote for, you know, like one
Speaker 1: of those but you would rather have her at least
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. She was warm and
Speaker 1: like had fun things to say about things that weren't
Speaker 1: just politics. Megan McCain is ice cold and I'm not
Speaker 1: into what I think is and I'm just gonna say this,
Speaker 1: ABC only only having her on the show so they
Speaker 1: can have access to McCain in his final years. But
Speaker 1: I think it's I think that's what it is. What
Speaker 1: do you mean access to mccainy. I think that they
Speaker 1: can get John McCain on the show an interview for
Speaker 1: you know. I think it's a whole conspiracy. That's a
Speaker 1: long time Megan McCain because she like has sort of
Speaker 1: been on the peripheral, the periphery of like she writes
Speaker 1: articles every now and then. I want to like her.
Speaker 1: I think maybe I want to like her. I keep
Speaker 1: wanted to like her, and then she says things like
Speaker 1: they were all going around the table and saying who
Speaker 1: their celebrity crush was, and she said, Paul Ryan, get
Speaker 1: the fun out of here. It's not even cute, and
Speaker 1: the audience grown and I was like, thank you, it's
Speaker 1: literally sunny host and who I'm sorry I don't like,
Speaker 1: and um, is there any Sarah Haynes. They both said
Speaker 1: Idris Elba and I think I forget who Joy and
Speaker 1: Whoope said or whatever, And then they got to make
Speaker 1: a nick and she's like, well, mine's Paul Rye and
Speaker 1: the audience goes, oh, of course it is. So is
Speaker 1: there any good host on the view right now? They're good?
Speaker 1: I mean, Whoopee is when she wants to be there,
Speaker 1: she's great. But but sometimes you just get the sense
Speaker 1: that Whoopee is just giving takes to the audience, like
Speaker 1: can you be talking about this? And yes, yes, whoop Weekend,
Speaker 1: this is the view you sign up for, You the
Speaker 1: moderate of the show. You've been on the show for
Speaker 1: ten years. You damn well know that we are talking

Speaker 1: who she was before the show. She's like the blonde,
Speaker 1: she's like always pregnant. She's very that Okay, Joy is

Speaker 1: I just I don't get I gotta say. And this
Speaker 1: is not just because she's a she's a podcast sister Michelle.
Speaker 1: When Michelle is on it, Michelle Collins, it was never
Speaker 1: better better. She's the Queen's the best, the best of
Speaker 1: when it was in recent years was whoopee, Michelle Collins,
Speaker 1: Raven Simonia, I'm sorry, I love even though she said
Speaker 1: cookie stuff on that love Raven and I guess Jedded
Speaker 1: Diabela was like the full the Fuller House, the full House,
Speaker 1: Candie Cameron Beer and she she's a dummy. She's a dummy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's very conservative. But also I appreciated the fact that,
Speaker 1: like she was a conservative one and also was like,
Speaker 1: by far the dumbest. So it was like she's like,
Speaker 1: oh no, every day I pray and everyone was like,
Speaker 1: oh god like and it was like fun to have that.
Speaker 1: Now it's like you have Megan mccaino's like superior about
Speaker 1: like garbage point of view, which is the downs, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. It's disgusting, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting.
Speaker 1: I love your whole breakdown of you know, you had
Speaker 1: so many passionate takes. That's what'll be, That's what you
Speaker 1: get out of Matt Rogers and I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: so do you have one? Um? I think so, I
Speaker 1: think so do you do? He's rarely ever prepared upon it. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm never prepared out with you both. I'm gonna start
Speaker 1: hosting the show with Michelle Collins. She'll do it, She'll
Speaker 1: do it. Time starts now. I don't think so, honey.
Speaker 1: The line at Helen Hardy today in November. I went
Speaker 1: in there with a simple mission, A medium chicken pop pie,
Speaker 1: no bread, no crackers, just the damn soup. I ran
Speaker 1: into my good friends to Sheil, who works over at
Speaker 1: Comedy Central. Very nice guy. We said high We exchanged
Speaker 1: pleasant trees. It was the highlight of my experience at
Speaker 1: this fucking Helen Hardy today because there's a huge line
Speaker 1: that goes out the door and I go, what is
Speaker 1: going on? There's no one winning at the soup s line.
Speaker 1: It's everyone's winning at the cashier line. I don't think so. Second,
Speaker 1: not being able to manage the crowd during the lunch rush,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. This is Hudson Square. This is,
Speaker 1: you know, not the busiest neighborhood in Manhattan during the day,
Speaker 1: but it's a busy one. You've got a lot of
Speaker 1: people coming in from a lot of different industries and
Speaker 1: backgrounds and positions and levels of you know, up the
Speaker 1: food chaine. I don't think so many. You got to
Speaker 1: figure this out. I had one soup and it took
Speaker 1: me forty minutes seconds. Forty minutes for soup. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. I don't think so, honey. That was
Speaker 1: really well paid. Thank you complaining about pacing earlier. I
Speaker 1: was like, thank you, some more knows about pacing. I
Speaker 1: I've learned from call me by your name what good
Speaker 1: and bad pacing is. Um, you know what you've got
Speaker 1: to figure out. We're gonna get. Really, the thing is,
Speaker 1: you can imagine we have a large gay audience, and
Speaker 1: for for us to be talking about calling about your name,
Speaker 1: I would say the last hour, I loved the first hour.
Speaker 1: If they rode their fucking bike to the lake one
Speaker 1: more time, I was going to get out of there.
Speaker 1: I couldn't see one more bike ride to the lake, partner.
Speaker 1: I'm just the it's not The ending was like a
Speaker 1: departure from the book, which is fine. But the takeaway
Speaker 1: from the movie is that you know, he feels a
Speaker 1: certain way and it's that's not really the case, and
Speaker 1: that's that is unfair of you to say about the film,
Speaker 1: because he's in a whole different place in his life
Speaker 1: in the film than he is in the book. But
Speaker 1: in the book, you see the journey, and so that's
Speaker 1: all I'll say. Okay, a partner, We're sorry, we just
Speaker 1: didn't know. I don't know. Okay, I'm gonna I'm I
Speaker 1: don't know if I can summon up enough passion, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. You keep it as low energy or
Speaker 1: as high energy as you want to not do not
Speaker 1: feel the need to hit a certain death of ball.
Speaker 1: But this is a partner inturials. I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: and her time starts now. I don't think so honey.
Speaker 1: Friends who don't text during holidays like Thanksgiving weekend because
Speaker 1: I feel like I were all with our families and
Speaker 1: or loved ones and were chosen families and loved ones
Speaker 1: during this time, and obviously we're all supposed to be
Speaker 1: putting in quality time, but everyone reaches a limit with
Speaker 1: how much family you can be around. And then if
Speaker 1: no one else is texting, I feel like I'm the
Speaker 1: only one not experiencing fulfilled relationships. And then then I
Speaker 1: feel extra lonely and isolated, and I need other people
Speaker 1: to be like, hey, are you tired of listening to
Speaker 1: your mom? Make gentle nudges about how soon you should
Speaker 1: have kids before they might have uh you know, birth
Speaker 1: defects or whatever it is. And if no one else texts,
Speaker 1: it really feels like you're alone in the universe, and
Speaker 1: especially if they just leave you hang in an emotional
Speaker 1: you know, sore that you've opened up, and then you
Speaker 1: just have to look at it and see the non
Speaker 1: response and be like, I guess you don't feel that way,
Speaker 1: and that but finished this thought because that, I mean,
Speaker 1: first of all, completely appropriate that it was just at
Speaker 1: this nice MPR town, this NPR level, because I kind
Speaker 1: of felt that way too. I felt a little too,
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously for different completely different ways and different circumstances.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, I guess I'm just like
Speaker 1: at sea here or socially, and I feel a little
Speaker 1: stir crazy. I don't know, I mean, I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's exactly what. Well. I think everyone feels a
Speaker 1: little stir crazy when they've had enough, like home time
Speaker 1: or family time, but then they feel like there's some
Speaker 1: kind of social more to not be like texting with
Speaker 1: your usual social group. I don't know, what a trash
Speaker 1: people who are on their phones and so that's not
Speaker 1: an issue. Oh that's great. That must be like the
Speaker 1: next level up, because yeah, like, I don't know who.
Speaker 1: I would love to you call someone out right now
Speaker 1: who didn't text you back at Joe Firestone, fucking Joe
Speaker 1: fires We gotta go get her. Who does she think
Speaker 1: she is? Well? Drag her in here. I think it's
Speaker 1: because she's a good person. No, no, I don't think so,
Speaker 1: you know what. I take back what you said about
Speaker 1: the only trash people text back, because no, no one's
Speaker 1: above it. There's an etiquette. You respond if you're engaged,
Speaker 1: especially if it's one of your good friends, like a
Speaker 1: partner is to Joe, and that is not acceptable. I
Speaker 1: would I would take Matt to task if he were
Speaker 1: if he if I didn't respond to Bowen the full disclosure.
Speaker 1: I think I did not text her. I think I
Speaker 1: thought about it and then I was like, well, if
Speaker 1: she was a good friend, she would text me knowing
Speaker 1: how I was feeling. Absolutely, And you're right about that.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you feel like this with Joe,
Speaker 1: but I can feel how by one feels in the air. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when he's gone for a long time and I
Speaker 1: know he's landing again, I will be sitting in my chair,
Speaker 1: which I'm doing. When he's not in I I'm just
Speaker 1: sitting in my chair with my head down. And then
Speaker 1: when I feel him touchdown, I will rise up and
Speaker 1: I will feel filled with life again and I'll say
Speaker 1: hello friends. It's almost like very Luke and Leah. Yeah. Absolutely, yes,
Speaker 1: that was my understanding of how friendship works. Absolutely, and
Speaker 1: Joe hasn't met that standard. No, but I'll give her time.
Speaker 1: Give her time, because you know who else needed time.
Speaker 1: I want to say two podcast related things before we
Speaker 1: wrap up. Um, I want to say that you should
Speaker 1: absolutely head over to Apple Podcasts and you should give
Speaker 1: us a five star rating and you should give us
Speaker 1: a nice review because this really helps the podcast rise
Speaker 1: to the top. And I'm serious, guys. If you guys
Speaker 1: listen listening to this, you know it wouldn't kill you.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't kill you. And look, you know, leave it,
Speaker 1: maybe leave a rule of culture in your review. Maybe
Speaker 1: we'll maybe, we'll read it, we'll canonize it, and maybe
Speaker 1: by maybe we mean definitely definitely maybe, And um, again,
Speaker 1: it really helps with visibility and all that hacks the algorithm. Also,
Speaker 1: I want to say one other thing, and it's it's
Speaker 1: good that we said this will our guest is here

Speaker 1: I think, incredible story Pirate. You did you enjoy doing it?

Speaker 1: a great class of people because because I think you were,
Speaker 1: you were on the same time as like maybe Natasha

Speaker 1: was l A. I think that's why. That's it. That's

Speaker 1: know what a superstar is a secret story parrot. Now listen,
