Speaker 1: Well, come back to another episode of All give me this.
Speaker 1: I'm your host. Kevin Pop Yes, not Kevin No. Actually,
Speaker 1: I don't think the film tooks he holds up at all. No,
Speaker 1: I don't buy the premise, and the great Dustin Hoffman
Speaker 1: never stops being a man in drag. The fact that
Speaker 1: anyone buys him as a woman is just too much
Speaker 1: displieved for me to suspend. Fund yourself. I'm sorry. I
Speaker 1: know I'm in the minority and everyone else is in
Speaker 1: love with this film. It's superb fine, I get it,
Speaker 1: truly good for you, but the premise is performance garbage.
Speaker 1: But I digress. Craig, you're not in your head. You
Speaker 1: agree it all a little bit oh weird hill to
Speaker 1: die on? Yeah, right, Only forty years after the release,
Speaker 1: I rewatched it and I was like, this is horrible. Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you for that. It is a bizarre hill to
Speaker 1: die on. And enough of digression. Let's meet Kama Shower
Speaker 1: in a particular order. Let's check in with Christop Armovers
Speaker 1: two European Honeymoon review. Big a funny you say that
Speaker 1: because I'm scrolling through pictures right now, not on my honeymoon.
Speaker 1: The honeymoon was great, it was perfect love Italy. But
Speaker 1: more importantly, I keep forgetting to say this, and I
Speaker 1: want to tell you, guys, And I'm sure you've all
Speaker 1: I'm sure Craig and Mark have done this once already.
Speaker 1: But I got a wordle in one the other day.
Speaker 1: What I was thinking about one, you just guessed what
Speaker 1: the word was going to be. That's what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to pull here. This here, this, here, it is what
Speaker 1: you can pull once from the past. No, because I
Speaker 1: knew I wanted, I knew I wanted to show you, guys.
Speaker 1: Is that something Kevin again? Italy? Beautiful? But how about this?
Speaker 1: Is that? Mark? Do you are? Is that impressive? I'm impressed.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's really impressive. That was a
Speaker 1: good guess, But that's not the skill of the game.
Speaker 1: I've never I've never got in one. Carla got in
Speaker 1: one on that same day. No, can I circle all
Speaker 1: of you back to that's technically more important than your
Speaker 1: trip to your eye like a big pizza pie. Technically
Speaker 1: it's more recent. But dear Lord, you have a life
Speaker 1: experience that looked like one of the greatest trips of
Speaker 1: a lifetime. And this is a life experience. This it was,
Speaker 1: it was wonderful. I you know what, Listen, we've all
Speaker 1: been on vacations, we've all done things before. Italy is
Speaker 1: the only place where I thought, I want to go
Speaker 1: back there as soon as possible. Yeah, maybe Marco is
Speaker 1: the same way. It's like, this place is fucking incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy incredible. Um and lastly, uh, thoughts on
Speaker 1: tutsie have you seen it? Oh my, there's Jack Gonzalez
Speaker 1: Ruth a little d favorite Italian dishtion one. Wow, yep,
Speaker 1: this it's difficult hard Okay, No, this is ordering. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what I'm ordering every time an Italian restaurant.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get the linguini. That's linguini with clams um.
Speaker 1: And it's like in like an olive oil garlic situation,
Speaker 1: not a creamy situation, not a tomato situation, otherwise known
Speaker 1: as sauce. Those have been falling along the word situation
Speaker 1: could also be swamped out for sauce, could be subbed,
Speaker 1: could be subed. Oh I don't like that. You don't
Speaker 1: like the Italian like that Grandma's Sunday gravy learned what
Speaker 1: that was the other day. This woman's like I'm making
Speaker 1: Sunday gravy, and I was like, what is that? My
Speaker 1: world was not full of gravy growing up. Dr Gagliardi
Speaker 1: away in when it well. Then she described it to
Speaker 1: me and I was like, oh goddamn, because I thought
Speaker 1: it was like I remember moving to Chicago and people
Speaker 1: ordering biscuits and gravy, and I love biscuits, but good God,
Speaker 1: don't throw all of this stuff, like what, don't make them? What? Um,
Speaker 1: give me just the buttermilk. I don't know what it's
Speaker 1: like in Miami whatever. I had never heard of it.
Speaker 1: It was something new, something a little disturbing. So when
Speaker 1: I heard Sunday gravy, that's what I was thinking. And
Speaker 1: then she described it to me, and I was like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: give me that. Yeah, there's a lot less flower involved
Speaker 1: in the creation of these Grandma's Sunday grades. And there's
Speaker 1: like a whole pork chop is disintegrated in in hers
Speaker 1: in hers, whole pork chops as degraded in there, the
Speaker 1: chop part, but incredible disintegrated situation. You should be a
Speaker 1: food writer or you should get a food writer either.
Speaker 1: It is really funny. Sorry, I don't take the time
Speaker 1: but just really funny that when when Craig said that
Speaker 1: Carla got the same one I did a word your
Speaker 1: actually was that's fun up. That means something, And I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's good or bad, but it means
Speaker 1: I don't worried for your marriage, for both of your marriages.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I'm a word girl something. It
Speaker 1: means something. Wow, it means something. I love wordle I
Speaker 1: love spaghetti with clams in a garlic situation. Just disintegrate
Speaker 1: into the situation. And if you want to put some meat,
Speaker 1: disintegrate it in there. It sounds delicious. Oh I'm I'm oh,
Speaker 1: whoa wait? Backed by popular demand? What is this with
Speaker 1: his boat House on a Lake review? Here's Craig Kaikowski
Speaker 1: Kakaw Boathouse on a Lake. I'll tell you what, if
Speaker 1: you want to build a boat house, the best place
Speaker 1: to do it is on a lake, because yeah, I've
Speaker 1: I've seen boat houses like a couple of miles inshore
Speaker 1: and they do not work as well. You can definitely
Speaker 1: store the boat in there, but getting the boat into
Speaker 1: the water is the crucial part. And uh so I
Speaker 1: think the boat house needs to be on the lake
Speaker 1: or or the ocean or somebody of water in order
Speaker 1: to work. Otherwise it's gonna be a real fucked up sauce.
Speaker 1: Hey use them interchangeably. Yes, you did, you prove the point.
Speaker 1: There's Mark Gagliardi, Hi strange mark on your pants. What
Speaker 1: is the origin of the term Jerry rigged? Uh? The uh?
Speaker 1: There was? Wasn't it Germany? Like it was Germans could
Speaker 1: like figure out how to duct tape something together. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Like I assume that the term comes from Germans. Um.
Speaker 1: Very industrious terms come from Germans. Um. Calling it gravy
Speaker 1: comes from Germans Um. No, we can actually just to
Speaker 1: go back to that before. We absolutely call red sauce
Speaker 1: in my family gravy. Always have. We make the Sunday gravy,
Speaker 1: and yes, my dad will fill it with meat at
Speaker 1: the beginning of the day and it will all have
Speaker 1: disintegrated into a delicious meat sauce by the Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm team gravy um. But Jerry rigging um was was
Speaker 1: invented by a German named Jerry I believe, if I'm
Speaker 1: remembering this correctly, he was the first person to ever
Speaker 1: take duct tape and use it on something besides a duct.
Speaker 1: That's correct. I knew you'd have it. And last, but
Speaker 1: you can completely kiss my grids. If you think of leaves,
Speaker 1: it's James Heeny jingle, Johnny James. What was the most
Speaker 1: memorable aspects of being on the set of that recent
Speaker 1: indie film you did? I mean, there's a lot, but
Speaker 1: the big thing was one day we had a snake
Speaker 1: wrangler on set because they need to make sure as
Speaker 1: we ran through grass that was almost to our waist,
Speaker 1: that there was no rattlesnakes there. And they went through
Speaker 1: found yours and they did it with a black light
Speaker 1: at night and they were shining it to see everything.
Speaker 1: They didn't find any snakes, but they found scorpions and
Speaker 1: they kept the scorpion. And here's was even crazier on
Speaker 1: set because there was an animal. There's somebody that represents
Speaker 1: the safety of animals, so they couldn't just kill the
Speaker 1: scorpion like it should be killed. I had to keep
Speaker 1: it and then set it free afterwards. But then after
Speaker 1: they caught that one scorpion, they said it was all
Speaker 1: clear and we could run through the area. In short,
Speaker 1: what what state was this area in that you have scorpion?
Speaker 1: Scorpions and snakes, and I don't want to scare anybody.
Speaker 1: But it was in Malibu, so there are scorpions not
Speaker 1: only in California, but in Los Angeles County. Swanky Malibu. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this India I'm doing also had a rattlesnake wrangler. We
Speaker 1: were at the Disney ranch up in your Santa Clarita
Speaker 1: Lancaster area and and we did find or he I
Speaker 1: certainly found none, probably from a lack of looking ahead. Craig,
Speaker 1: did you do You worked at the Disney ranch with
Speaker 1: many times, so any times I remember. I remember that
Speaker 1: one morning, I know I'm taking it too much time
Speaker 1: we have a whole show. No no. I pulled up
Speaker 1: to I was doing a commercial, um, and I get
Speaker 1: It's like six am and there's Craig. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh ship, Craig and Ireland's commercial together. I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: what are you doing here? Is like drunk history. I
Speaker 1: was like, it was a real it was a real letdown.
Speaker 1: And then I said, snake safe. I couldn't kill him, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was very strange. Um. And underneath the house where
Speaker 1: everyone had just been walking around and sitting on the
Speaker 1: deck of this you know, built house, on the Disney
Speaker 1: ranches where they shoot a lot of TV and movie
Speaker 1: and commercials of course. Um, and yeah, that's it was
Speaker 1: cool under there. And this sizeable like a almost five footer,
Speaker 1: the aforementioned Carla Kakowski everyone five, that's almost my height exactly,
Speaker 1: just poked its head out from underneath this house just
Speaker 1: like that. I had five fingers for a face. Oh
Speaker 1: my god, being this is so much fun. It come
Speaker 1: right to my eyeballs. Yes, well, yeah they really stand.
Speaker 1: But if you were lying down, I think we have
Speaker 1: a better point. Um, can someone put the snake next
Speaker 1: to Jackie most he's lying down, it'll be funny. Let's
Speaker 1: do a mini show. Um. All of our scene suggestions
Speaker 1: have been gathered from a listener emails or from our

Speaker 1: you would do if you wanted here nineteen hours a day. Oh,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I've always considered. When I was
Speaker 1: in high school, it was either science or football. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's not too late to get into football. It's never. Alright, kid,
Speaker 1: what'd you say your name was? Again? My name's Edric?
Speaker 1: Alrighted oh yeah, right there on the back of your jersey. Alright,

Speaker 1: the World Scientists Summit, the w s S, as you
Speaker 1: all know, the World Scientists Summit. Thank you, Thank you well. Um,
Speaker 1: really interesting news coming out of California. It's all on
Speaker 1: this folder here. Moron, how's that? Do you just said?
Speaker 1: Interesting news California? And I just thought that sort of
Speaker 1: flies in the face of reality as we know it.
Speaker 1: Science scientists can actually be really funny too. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: can be pretty goofy. We can be pretty silly. Watch this, Hey,
Speaker 1: who's on first? All right now, listen, listen, there's a
Speaker 1: there's an official WSS open mic after the conference. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I get really crazy and goofy and I order just
Speaker 1: like a sandwich at whatever the easiest sandwich to make
Speaker 1: at a restaurant is. But then I asked them to
Speaker 1: put you know, bacon or avoca. I asked him to
Speaker 1: add just one thing on top. I get so crazy,
Speaker 1: So goofy. So we can save that for the talent
Speaker 1: show and open mic after the conference. What's the news, Well,
Speaker 1: it's all done. We can wrap it up. We've learned
Speaker 1: everything there is to know about the universe. Yeah, save
Speaker 1: it for open mind this one. Thank you. This is
Speaker 1: I'm not joking. Ask me any question. I have the
Speaker 1: answer right here. Anybody, what have you been working on?
Speaker 1: What's your research? Well, I'm sorry question, um? How long
Speaker 1: until the universe collapses upon itself in what they call
Speaker 1: the coladicalismic events? Well, an, what is the word I'm
Speaker 1: looking for? Thank you? It should eventually contract and explode.
Speaker 1: What is that going to happen? It's gonna happen in
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand years. That's faster than I thought. I
Speaker 1: not a question. Who's God? Yes? Oh yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: good one. See here's here? Oh interesting, Ellen de generous
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. Not what we're thinking it would be. Wow,
Speaker 1: he thought that. I was that you thought that God?
Speaker 1: Oh God? I was just thinking, He's going to say, Ellen,
Speaker 1: de generous? Well, because it is all knowing? What up? Okay? Okay? Science, sciences, science,
Speaker 1: science is real in the universe, is what I was
Speaker 1: why was God hanging out with George W. Bush at
Speaker 1: that football game? Then? Yeah? Yeah, what you got there?
Speaker 1: Let's see, Um does this say photo up? It says
Speaker 1: a photo opportunity. I assume an opportunity for photographic And
Speaker 1: why didn't God compensate her her writers? Accordingly? Yeah? Can
Speaker 1: I is that the that hard copy of all the
Speaker 1: information right there? Yeah? Is that the only? Is that
Speaker 1: the only one? Well? And I have it all in
Speaker 1: this thumb drive that I keep with me at all times.
Speaker 1: At all times. Theoretically we could destroy it to keep
Speaker 1: ourselves employed. Right there? Now, God didn't pair her rider's
Speaker 1: I want to go on this train and thought like,
Speaker 1: theoretically if we all surrounded you right now, tackled you
Speaker 1: to the ground and uh, and still that drive from
Speaker 1: you send it from and Mike Jim, Yeah, there's still
Speaker 1: forty five more minutes left of the conference. You can
Speaker 1: bring your material. I was told there would be a
Speaker 1: Halloween costumes here. I'm just seeing a lot of lab coats. Yah,
Speaker 1: it's a big hit this year. Did you not want
Speaker 1: to go as a scientist. I've been a scientist before.
Speaker 1: It's always fun, you know, to get you to get
Speaker 1: a lab coat, you know, maybe a stethoscope. Yeah about
Speaker 1: these tesla coils that that might be, you know, heavier
Speaker 1: than I want to carry around, But I'm looking for
Speaker 1: something scarier. Yeah, what do you got mine? What are
Speaker 1: you thinking? Politician? Yeah? Do you have a politician? Alf,
Speaker 1: we do? We have a democrat, republican, libertarian? What are
Speaker 1: you looking for? Let me go as a libertarian? What
Speaker 1: what is that outfit? It feels like it feels like
Speaker 1: whatever you want, whatever you want, that's exactly right, truly
Speaker 1: up to you. In fact, you're you're kind of in
Speaker 1: costume right now. Oh so people will get right away.
Speaker 1: I've gone as a happy Halloween everybody, as you know.
Speaker 1: Again I did the costume contest. Yeah yeah, I'm handing
Speaker 1: out awards right now. All right, Chuck, Chuck, you get
Speaker 1: third place for Frank Stone than they're pas. That's a
Speaker 1: nice change of pace from going as the monster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: yeahs a doctor. That was genius. It really was that
Speaker 1: lab coat. Alright, Barb, you get second place for ursula.
Speaker 1: Oh taking voices, thank you so much? Okay, and um
Speaker 1: and number one goes to goes to Bill for the
Speaker 1: cargo cargo shorts and uh tink top thank you. Maybe
Speaker 1: you can answer the question now, Bill, what you were
Speaker 1: dressed as since everyone's kind of been wondering and you
Speaker 1: got first place. Well, I think since I won, it
Speaker 1: speaks for itself. Right. Let's guess you dressed as a
Speaker 1: winner cargo shark and a tank top. Yeah? Did you
Speaker 1: go as I don't know, riff raff? Good? No, just
Speaker 1: general lowercase riff raff. I thought you meant riff raff
Speaker 1: from Rocky horror picture show different describe people that you're
Speaker 1: undesirable raff? Are you going as massively unemployable Chicago frat
Speaker 1: boy in the summer? Good guess? God give me the fuller.
Speaker 1: Listen listening animals, animals, answers in there that you might
Speaker 1: not want to think about that, think about that. All
Speaker 1: the information is in this boulder and in this gun drive.
Speaker 1: You might not like what you see. That's why. Yeah,
Speaker 1: way to not make your arguments scientists. Yeah, you know what,
Speaker 1: I hadn't consider that join us save all of our jobs.
Speaker 1: But is it just for the job saving? Because I
Speaker 1: can get into the job. I'm thinking about playing professional basketball.
Speaker 1: So in Canada I did one session, Yeah, Canada, I
Speaker 1: did one session of football in Canada. It didn't hurt bad.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying covered. I mean, if I'm not looking
Speaker 1: into a microscope and saying I don't know what the
Speaker 1: hell I could do? What you could do that in
Speaker 1: other fields, like Mike, I don't know this. Microsoft doesn't
Speaker 1: use that. If that's what you were gonna say? All right, everybody,
Speaker 1: so we we we want to get rid of all
Speaker 1: the answers, everything we learned just to keep our jobs.
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that right? Not just to keep our jobs.
Speaker 1: The world's gonna lose all mystery if there are no
Speaker 1: more and if there, if we have all the answers,
Speaker 1: there'll be no more questions. Oh of course that too?
Speaker 1: Who I mean? That was? That was the second reason?
Speaker 1: Shot up Padrick. You're being selfish? No, come on, look
Speaker 1: good guys. Come on, does the world really want to
Speaker 1: know everything? Is it better to not know some things?
Speaker 1: Do you really want to know what's in a hot dog?
Speaker 1: Or that God is Ellen degenerous? Huh I guess I
Speaker 1: guess not. Well how about this? Why don't we pass
Speaker 1: this folder around, this file and you look up one
Speaker 1: answer to one question you might have, and then we'll
Speaker 1: throw it all away. Anybody wants, every wants the opportunity
Speaker 1: to maybe learned something about the universe before I'll go first,
Speaker 1: give me that folder. Oh Jesus Christ, whoa Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: who's next? My turn? My turn? Well, this can't be right.
Speaker 1: It's all right, this can't be right. Okay, let me
Speaker 1: let me see. Let me see that. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: so it is an infinite amount of turtles? Interesting? Okay?
Speaker 1: Anybody else? Yeah, yeah, let me see that. All right?
Speaker 1: Ah was okay? So you two wanted you had the
Speaker 1: same Bernie question. Yeah, that's right. Science, Science, prove that
Speaker 1: is a solid movie. Houston. H We have a problem, Houston,
Speaker 1: We have a problem. Could you be more general? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, you know we have some issues up here.
Speaker 1: Our ship it will not be able to make the
Speaker 1: descent back into Earth at its current state, and you
Speaker 1: were going to send us the tools that we needed
Speaker 1: to fix it. Now now you're saying space program Science
Speaker 1: is getting shut down, and and where does that leave us,
Speaker 1: because because we need to re enter Earth, you know,
Speaker 1: we have an infinite amount, not an infinite we have
Speaker 1: a do you though, do you though need to re
Speaker 1: enter atmosphere? Yeah? We have. Are you not happy? Up there,
Speaker 1: Lieutenant listen up. I don't. It's not about about me
Speaker 1: being personal. It's not about my personal life. I've made mistakes.
Speaker 1: I've made mistakes opening up to you before Houston, and
Speaker 1: you made me feel like this is an intimate conversation
Speaker 1: when I know that I'm on an intercom to the
Speaker 1: entire control floor, just the two of us. What do
Speaker 1: you want to say? Well, it's getting hard to be
Speaker 1: up here. All theory is she said it, She's complained
Speaker 1: and sorry the fuck rogers. I'm sorry someone had a
Speaker 1: bad sandwich order. Some people are listening. Thank god I
Speaker 1: didn't give any real details. List that has seen one
Speaker 1: scene two comes from listener Laban Chapel or Chapelle, who wrote,
Speaker 1: Hello Alchemist, longtime listeners, second time email or I'll admit
Speaker 1: I pretty much have to listen to the pod solo
Speaker 1: since I never know how the scenes will go and
Speaker 1: what crazy as ship y'all will come up with or
Speaker 1: say mm hmm. For that, I thank you. Don't worry, though,
Speaker 1: I do share with some of my longtime friends that
Speaker 1: share my demented sense of humor in very judging anyway.
Speaker 1: Being born and raised in the low country of South
Speaker 1: Carolina and having my home in Charleston for seventeen years,
Speaker 1: and Charleston being such a hotbed for COVID relocators. I
Speaker 1: thought a great scene suggesting would be your take on
Speaker 1: how the South is handling all of the cultures moving
Speaker 1: in on it with nothing but love and respect. Laban Chap,
Speaker 1: just stop staring at that other table over there. They're
Speaker 1: gonna look over, they're gonna see you staring at him. Well,
Speaker 1: I've just never seen anything like it. It's all right
Speaker 1: there people too. They're just people right right, but they're
Speaker 1: not from here, and I just lets all get out. Well,
Speaker 1: then go ask them. You'll look, we were to get
Speaker 1: a person just like that, Mom and dad, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get a bunch of Piersons on my face. You are not.
Speaker 1: You will not get a piercing. I'm you're not getting
Speaker 1: a fedora and you're not getting a piercing. It looks
Speaker 1: good now, darlings. Yeah, y'all need to spend a little
Speaker 1: more time eating your grids, unless time staring at a
Speaker 1: new night. Well. I hate to say it, honey, but
Speaker 1: you were setting a pretty terrible example just staring that
Speaker 1: table down like that. I'm gonna go excuse me, ma'am.
Speaker 1: I ordered. I ordered the biscuits and gravy, and uh
Speaker 1: I expected to get more of a more of an
Speaker 1: Italian American sauce thing going on with these with these biscuits. Well, well, honey,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. Around here, gravy
Speaker 1: is thick, beige and chunky. Okay, okay, so gravy is

Speaker 1: it's going to sound exactly the same. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: say it with a smile. Baby. We sure you're oh yeah,

Speaker 1: could be true and I appreciate. Or you're a true

Speaker 1: to to be more inclusive and put more things on
Speaker 1: our flag make people feel at home, because homes where
Speaker 1: the heart is. Yeah, you should put a put a
Speaker 1: Promonti Brother sandwich on the flag because it's, uh, you know,

Speaker 1: different types of people. Huh yeah, bro, it's uh certainly
Speaker 1: beats spin in California at the height of this COVID
Speaker 1: Right you said it. He certainly did. And that is
Speaker 1: scene too. Seen three is from patron and comaniac Nicholas
Speaker 1: mark Our, who made one of the last shows who
Speaker 1: wrote Seen Criminal uses cameo to send out blackmail messages,
Speaker 1: but only B and C tier celebrities as he has
Speaker 1: to save money, let the budget impress and flow playball.
Speaker 1: Nick Baby, I'll tell you I got a cameo. I
Speaker 1: actually requested a cameo and paid for it and it
Speaker 1: should be coming in today or tomorrow. I'm very, very excited.
Speaker 1: I don't really want to tell you who it's from,
Speaker 1: but it's a surprise for Tommy's birthday. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: that's so sweet. He's going to be so excited if
Speaker 1: it's a celebrity that he knows and loves. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: that's so that's such a great gift. And thank you
Speaker 1: this year for for thinking of one. I know he
Speaker 1: was really disappointed when you didn't get him anything last year.
Speaker 1: So well, you know, he's technically not my son, but
Speaker 1: I want to raise him. I want to help raise him.
Speaker 1: You know, I completely understand that you didn't. You know,
Speaker 1: genetically did nothing to bring this child into the earth,
Speaker 1: but you have been rearing him for the past seven years.
Speaker 1: And you know to me when when you express it
Speaker 1: to me like it's hurtful, but I can take it.
Speaker 1: It's it's the frequency which you express not being his
Speaker 1: father to him that I think you don't think that's
Speaker 1: something he needs to know and know. Well, I think
Speaker 1: it's crushing his spirit, Huh, I don't. I don't think
Speaker 1: we should. Yeah, Hey, buddy, what Uh yeah, so thanks
Speaker 1: for uh for joining us. We just had something real
Speaker 1: quick to run by you. This this business of me
Speaker 1: not being your biological father, uh and him actually being incarcerated.
Speaker 1: I was curious, Uh I mentioning that too often? Am
Speaker 1: I mentioning it? Not often enough? What is your takeaway
Speaker 1: on this information? Well, I guess I haven't really thought
Speaker 1: about it. But in the morning, you go breakfast, breakfast,
Speaker 1: not my real son. Your dad's in jail, so like
Speaker 1: that's how we start the day typically, and then jip school,
Speaker 1: you go, hey, have a good day. I'm not your
Speaker 1: father because your father made some poor choices and now
Speaker 1: you ain't got time to start school. Yeah, you ain't
Speaker 1: gonna see him. And then the last thing you say
Speaker 1: to me before I go to bed is usually like,
Speaker 1: I love you, but not as much as your real father.
Speaker 1: But how much love can he show you if he's away?
Speaker 1: So I don't know, it feels like a like about
Speaker 1: the right amount? Mom? What are you balanced? Right, morning,
Speaker 1: noon and night feeling good? I find it to be
Speaker 1: absolutely dampening of the of the spirit. It's I find
Speaker 1: it to be unnecessary. You know, you know that he's
Speaker 1: not your biological father and pointing out you know what
Speaker 1: would fix things. I think it would be like a
Speaker 1: really cool birthday present. Since my birthday is tomorrow. It's
Speaker 1: funny you should say that I wasn't connecting the two,
Speaker 1: but if we need to, maybe this is a way
Speaker 1: for me to begin the process of this transition for
Speaker 1: me from being Captain Information to your loving thought. Sounds
Speaker 1: good at me? Mom? What do you think? I I
Speaker 1: loved every word that just came out of your mouth. Finally,
Speaker 1: all right, let's say goodbye to Captain Information. He's dead.
Speaker 1: He's not incarcerated, he's just dead. Yep, he's in life jail.
Speaker 1: He is incarcerated in hell. Wow. Yeah, like so many. Uh,
Speaker 1: this new version of me is going to be loving
Speaker 1: and supportive, and I've got an incredible gift for you tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I can't wait for you to see it. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I can wait for you to see it either. Tommy,
Speaker 1: why don't you go ahead and go back to hanging
Speaker 1: out with Tommy your friend? Hey, you want to hang
Speaker 1: out with kids? His own name? Is that what you're
Speaker 1: gonna have? No? I was going to say, I don't
Speaker 1: really want to harp on the whole hell thing. That's
Speaker 1: not really something that we've ever really taught him in
Speaker 1: this family. I don't want to now. I feel like
Speaker 1: it's all over the entertainment world. Things he watches, stuff
Speaker 1: he studies in school, possibly even without being religious in anyway.
Speaker 1: You know for sure he knows what it is and
Speaker 1: you know absolutely, But to say that so many people
Speaker 1: are lost in the jail of hell is I just
Speaker 1: think sets someone up in a really uh Mr McGrath,
Speaker 1: Mr Mark Mark, Yeah, yeah, hey here, I just want
Speaker 1: to let you know a couple of things to do today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's on the list? Bro, let's do it. Let's go.

Speaker 1: let me use your phone. I gotta get a I
Speaker 1: gotta get a cameo for my kid. You know, come on, Warden.
Speaker 1: You know I've been on good behavior. Alright, alright, all right, Ah,
Speaker 1: you should have enough in jail house funds to uh
Speaker 1: to pay for them. Some of them are pretty expensive,
Speaker 1: you know. I I got Tanya Harding from my uh
Speaker 1: from my niece's UH bought mitzvah and uh and that
Speaker 1: was price here that I expected. It was about for
Speaker 1: a personalized green eating from Tanya Harding. Oh, non personalized.
Speaker 1: But who are you thinking? Who are you thinking? I'm thinking,
Speaker 1: Tim McGrath, Tim McGrath, I think that's but I guess
Speaker 1: I'll have to change it because that's not gonna work.
Speaker 1: Tim McGrath, Is there something similar that maybe you see
Speaker 1: in my price range? It's been so long i've been
Speaker 1: in here. Tim McGrath is out of your price range. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Tim McGraw's out of your price range. Mark McGrath also
Speaker 1: out of your price range. But Tim McGrath, it says, um,
Speaker 1: hey um, Mr McGrath, Um. Sorry, sorry to interrupt you
Speaker 1: during lunch. It's just it makes me. Dave, your assistant, Um, you,
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm saving this you you got a
Speaker 1: request for a cameo? Stoping. No, I'm serious, Tim, you
Speaker 1: gotta request I'm sorry, Mr McGrath, you gotta request for
Speaker 1: a cameo right right. I'm trying to even remember how
Speaker 1: this works because it's been a while since we started,
Speaker 1: and we signed up because you thought that was a
Speaker 1: good idea. Yeah, look, you're your fame adjacent. It's what works,
Speaker 1: like everybody's gonna everybody's It's like when when somebody goes
Speaker 1: to the store and buys a copy of trans Morphers
Speaker 1: instead of Transformers. You know what I mean. But I
Speaker 1: knew this day would come. I knew this day would come.
Speaker 1: You were right, congratulations. I told you you need assistant.
Speaker 1: I told you needed an assistant. That's the other thing.
Speaker 1: An intern as an assistant made a lot of sense
Speaker 1: initially because I wasn't paying you six months. I am
Speaker 1: paying you, granted it's a hundred dollars a week, but
Speaker 1: I still feel like it's something. So look, Dave, it's me,
Speaker 1: Um Dustin timber wake, Um. I don't think I need
Speaker 1: an assistant anymore, dude. I'm just I'm a mechanic, and
Speaker 1: I feel like it's not paying off the way you
Speaker 1: But where am I gonna go? I just you were
Speaker 1: so enthusiastic about the idea of being famous adjacent, and
Speaker 1: I bought in. But nobody wants to hear from Dustin
Speaker 1: timber Wake unless you know on drum up. Some Susan
Speaker 1: Saran Rap said the same thing, and she kicked me out.
Speaker 1: I don't want to let you go. I just can't
Speaker 1: afford you. And Dave Growl said the same thing, and
Speaker 1: he kicked me out. Elvis Priestly said the same thing,
Speaker 1: and he kicked me out. Where am I gonna go? Fuck? Um, Look,
Speaker 1: you can crash my place. I just don't need an
Speaker 1: assistant anymore, or ever, I never did. I've worked. I'm
Speaker 1: a mechanic with a weird name with a weird name. Hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for coming by. How did you hear about the
Speaker 1: I was looking for a new assistant. Did you see
Speaker 1: it when I posted it online? Or I I just
Speaker 1: looked out. I was looking through the phone book for
Speaker 1: for names that seemed fame adjacent, right, and came across
Speaker 1: Kevin Pollock. Yeah, I came across Kevin Pollock, and I
Speaker 1: thought Kevin Pollock is fame adjacent. He slipped his way
Speaker 1: to the middle. That's exactly right. Thank you, Thank you
Speaker 1: for remembering a real fan. Um so, what on the
Speaker 1: terms you're looking for and I'll tell you if it
Speaker 1: works from me, Well, I the last job. I would
Speaker 1: like a little race from when I got last time. Um,
Speaker 1: I was making a hundred dollars a week working for
Speaker 1: Tim McGrath. But but I would like about a hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty dollars a week and the and the option
Speaker 1: to just at any point in time ask you what

Speaker 1: He doesn't realize that I'm just getting out of solitary
Speaker 1: back into regular You got you got ten year is

Speaker 1: you break it to Mr Priestley? Can I? I mean,
Speaker 1: I can't case. I'm still going to do some more
Speaker 1: time here in in salitaire. But I guess the word

Speaker 1: also the dad in the movie where the Girl because
Speaker 1: she was like, yeah, okay, okay, that's a classic and

Speaker 1: dad in in the Wedding Planner. He's friends dad and
Speaker 1: the wedding planner Wedding Planner, Yeah, which is oddly you know,
Speaker 1: obviously a huge fan. But there's no connection between him
Speaker 1: and John Trabold. I don't think. Well, he wasn't a

Speaker 1: done that was in another documentary. What was the documentary about?
Speaker 1: What was? Hold on? Mom? This is important. This is
Speaker 1: worth just sitting through everything because it was it was
Speaker 1: a documentary about a subject. Oh, I know, the price
Speaker 1: is right, The price is right, Mom, there's a documentary
Speaker 1: about a guy who quote unquote cheated on the prices. Right. Wow,
Speaker 1: Well listen, Tommy. This is the great thing about cameos
Speaker 1: and about celebrities. Everyone has their own personal connection to them,
Speaker 1: and they have no personal connections to those people. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like everyone had it with them. It's very one side,
Speaker 1: but they you know, we hold whatever we hold due
Speaker 1: to our hearts about them, Um, like you must have

Speaker 1: COVID and through the lockdown if it wasn't for the
Speaker 1: times to be able to get together and laugh on
Speaker 1: soon with you guys. So thank you Greg. Yeah, Mark
Speaker 1: and Jackie are great. But I do want to talk
Speaker 1: about the uh the term Jerry rigged, which he's been
Speaker 1: boiling this whole time for it. I think we might
Speaker 1: have actually covered it on the show before, because yeah,
Speaker 1: because Jerry rigged is a conflation of two previous terms,
Speaker 1: jury rigged and Jerry built. Jury rigged referring to an
Speaker 1: improvised sale, so that means something you've kind of thrown
Speaker 1: together on the fly. Jerry built is something that's built
Speaker 1: shodily and they all pre date referring to the Germans
Speaker 1: as as Jerry's. Oh now I feel like a racist,
Speaker 1: and I apologize all of Germany. You can always be
Speaker 1: racist to Germans. Uh. But yeah, it's I'm only doing
Speaker 1: this because it's so tough to say goodbye to Mark
Speaker 1: and Jackie, who I will never see again. I know
Speaker 1: it's weird, will never ever see you again. Uh. Thanks
Speaker 1: also to our engineering producer or to the stars, Mr
Speaker 1: doug Bane. Fine folks that I hurt media who have
Speaker 1: given us a home. I'm your host, Kevin Pollock, thanking
Speaker 1: each and every one of you so very very much.
