[00:00:08] Speaker A: British word that she's like. What is that? You don't even remember. [00:00:14] Speaker B: No, I remember her saying. What does that mean? [00:00:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:00:17] Speaker B: Oh, God. [00:00:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Your mind's not going like it used to. Memory is not good. [00:00:27] Speaker C: There's like a botcher or something like that. Yeah. [00:00:32] Speaker A: What's a badger? [00:00:32] Speaker B: Bodger is someone who half asses the job, who gets it not quite right. A badger gets by. [00:00:40] Speaker A: Where's my peeing we on? We live, we're cooking. What do we got over there? I need to know. I like you. Got the Ellen DeGeneres biography next to you. You got sound effects today? [00:00:52] Speaker B: No. [00:00:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:00:53] Speaker B: Just use the board. Don't have the time. [00:00:56] Speaker A: Don't have the time. We got it. We got to be better. I don't feel like we're getting better. I feel like we're in some ways getting worse. [00:01:03] Speaker B: Yep. Well, that suits your nihilism. [00:01:06] Speaker A: No, throw me. Will you throw me a pair of glassies so I can see my notes here? [00:01:12] Speaker B: What about your Nazi ones? [00:01:15] Speaker A: I can't find them and I don't know where they are. Put them down. [00:01:19] Speaker B: Taste hid them. [00:01:20] Speaker A: Yeah, right. Those are high end glasses. I apologize for being a few minutes late this. This afternoon. I was over at the farmers market, the green city market in Lincoln park, picking you two up some treats. But then I come in and I see you've got treats. Let's have a treat off my treats first. Your treats. And whose treats are better and more expensive. Looking at your bag in. In thing, I'm gonna say mine are more expensive. What? What? Maybe not. Let me see what that is. This bag says Manny's deli. Raspberry rugula. Oh, no, 618. No, mine's more expensive. I thought it was 1618. What's a raspberry rugala? [00:02:03] Speaker B: It's some pastry. You two are gonna have to eat them all because it's not just raspberry. There's a. I think there's apricot and. Oh, there's some weird. [00:02:12] Speaker A: Well, these are loose. [00:02:13] Speaker C: That's a bill treat right there. [00:02:14] Speaker A: These are loose. Dude. [00:02:15] Speaker C: I've got. [00:02:16] Speaker A: Look at these little guys. [00:02:17] Speaker C: What is that? [00:02:18] Speaker A: Raspberry arugula from Manny's Deli. [00:02:20] Speaker B: Well, that might be peach. Yeah. I don't like deli. [00:02:25] Speaker C: I'm good. [00:02:26] Speaker B: Yeah, no, you gotta have. [00:02:28] Speaker A: I don't have to have one. [00:02:29] Speaker C: I don't like fruity pastries. [00:02:31] Speaker B: I don't like pastry at all. [00:02:32] Speaker A: I don't like hard boiled eggs, but you saw me fucking eat that shit. [00:02:36] Speaker C: Yeah, this isn't the first time I've had a fruity pastry. [00:02:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, these are good. Wait a minute. Were you at Manny's Deli? [00:02:43] Speaker B: Yeah. So I had to go to Fishman's Fabrics. The world famous Fishman's Fabrics. [00:02:48] Speaker A: Not familiar. And down by the UPS warehouse. [00:02:53] Speaker B: It's down by what used to be the. I associate with the old Maxwell street market. There's thousand DES planes. [00:03:02] Speaker A: Not Maxwell, but the other guy that's right there. What's the other one next to Maxwell Street? The original Joe or something. [00:03:11] Speaker B: Maxwell Street Market. [00:03:13] Speaker A: Not the market, but the Maxwell Street Polish Polish. The one next to it is going out of. [00:03:19] Speaker B: I had to go down there to get some cloth and I thought, you know what? I'll do what you. What you Earth humans do and just go into a place and pay someone to make me food and. Holy, did I regret that? [00:03:36] Speaker A: What? [00:03:36] Speaker B: Did you know how much it cost for a corned beef and pastrami sandwich? [00:03:40] Speaker A: Did you. Did you not know? Did they not have the prices on the board? I do have an idea because it's outrageous. But are the prices listed? Half a corned beef is like $19. Full corned beef is like $28. Yeah, right. [00:03:52] Speaker B: Is it? [00:03:52] Speaker A: Am I right? [00:03:53] Speaker C: That's insane. [00:03:54] Speaker B: Yep. But they fished me in because they had these things. It's got some Jewish name, but basically it's just minced. Minced beef wrapped in mashed potato and then deep fried. And I was like, that sounds like a British thing. I gotta give that. [00:04:09] Speaker A: Yeah, anything. Minced beef is. Seems British. [00:04:12] Speaker B: And then deep fried and then gravy. And I thought, you know what she's like, you know, we're kind of famous for the corned beef pastrami. So I go out screw. I probably won't be able to eat it all, but you know, the Mrs. Loves corned beef. So there you go. I've got into her good graces with bringing leftovers. And then the register. [00:04:31] Speaker A: You didn't know what was coming. [00:04:32] Speaker B: Yeah, the register plunged its dagger into me. [00:04:36] Speaker A: So you get a corned beef. You got that minced beef as well for you or you got the corn? [00:04:41] Speaker B: Yeah, I got the minced beef because I had to try it. [00:04:43] Speaker A: And then you got a corned beef sandwich. Full or half? [00:04:46] Speaker B: Full. [00:04:47] Speaker A: Full. And then these two items, [00:04:51] Speaker B: the beef and the meatball, 40 bucks all in. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Oh, my balls. And then this. [00:04:57] Speaker B: And then this. [00:04:58] Speaker A: What's that other thing that looks like some kind of. [00:05:00] Speaker B: It's like an ultra cookie or something. [00:05:02] Speaker A: Yeah, let's get into that. Now. I also Brought treats. And I got some plates here for us to share. Okay. I took them from your stash. Must have had a birthday or something with these high end Chinette plates. You familiar with Chinette? The highest end paper plate cutlery. This looks rather gross, I will say, but I bet it tastes good. So this was the first time you'd been to Manny's Deli? [00:05:29] Speaker B: Yep. [00:05:30] Speaker A: The Chicago institution. You what? Did you not even know about it? [00:05:35] Speaker B: I think I knew there was something down there because I'd always seen it when I went to the market. But because the market's Sundays, I don't think it was open. [00:05:43] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a famous joint. Yeah, I don't eat the meats anymore, but I used to like it. But once I. I got the price tag, I was like, I can't come here. It's too expensive. Give that one to see. You'll eat this, though, right? See? What is it, Big C? [00:05:58] Speaker C: What is it? [00:05:59] Speaker A: We don't know, really. [00:06:00] Speaker B: It's a cookie of sorts. [00:06:01] Speaker A: It's a cookie of sorts. Do you want me to just kind of make a buffet over here with the other things? All right. So I was at the. I was at the Windy City Market. I was down there looking at my property that I lease by the zoo for my. [00:06:19] Speaker C: For softball. [00:06:20] Speaker A: Wiffle ball. Wiffle ball for my wiffle ball conglomerate. And just making sure the fields were okay, that, you know, that they don't. A lot of times they'll plant trees in the middle of my field. Not a lot of times, but sometimes they will. And that throws everything off. [00:06:36] Speaker B: I thought you got kicked off or they shut you down. [00:06:39] Speaker A: One time they did, because I wasn't paying, but we made that right. So I wandered over to the Green City Market there, across from the zoo, and picked up a couple plants. Basil, herbs, basil, cilantro, and mint for the missus to plant in our flower box. I like to have those herbs. [00:07:04] Speaker B: Mint grows like crazy. [00:07:06] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, it does. Yeah. It's very aggressive. She doesn't want them in actually saying, that's too aggressive. But to work that out, I have to give her a head award in exchange for her planting the mint. Are you familiar with a head award? And so then I was like, well, I should get these guys something. Christian brought those nice empanadas last week. You must have been feeling the same way down where you were like, I gotta bring something, because Bill and Christian always bring. Bring me food, which is why you got this stuff. It would have been nice to bring, you know, maybe a corned beef for him anyway. He would have devoured that. [00:07:45] Speaker C: A $30 corned beef. [00:07:46] Speaker A: Give her. Give. Give him Heather's half. [00:07:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:07:51] Speaker A: So I was like. I walked away and I was like, yeah, fuck, I'll go back. Because I don't like to go to those farmer's markets because they're so expensive. Christ in heaven, the farmers market is the most expensive place in the world. The prices are, like, worse than the airport. [00:08:05] Speaker C: Right. [00:08:05] Speaker A: For. [00:08:06] Speaker C: It's crazy. [00:08:06] Speaker A: Cup of coffee. $9. [00:08:08] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:08:10] Speaker A: Stock of celery, 6.95. [00:08:12] Speaker C: Well, you're paying for the convenience of walking your ass over there. [00:08:15] Speaker A: Well, it's not convenience to walk over there. [00:08:17] Speaker C: Did you get the sarcasm? [00:08:18] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:19] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Not quick, but I wanted to, you know, do right by you guys. You. You've come to expect it from me, right? [00:08:26] Speaker C: Yeah. I stopped eating my salads on Wednesdays just because, you know you're gonna be [00:08:31] Speaker A: fed and fed well. The antithesis, the antichrist. I got something going on. [00:08:37] Speaker B: Got some Gurp. [00:08:38] Speaker A: I either have allergies. The common cold, or Hantavirus. Hantavirus. [00:08:46] Speaker C: Allergies have been bad this year. I don't normally get allergies, and I got them this year. [00:08:49] Speaker A: Maybe that's what's going on. [00:08:50] Speaker C: I had them for like a whole month. [00:08:51] Speaker A: For. [00:08:51] Speaker C: It was just itchy. Everything phlegmy. Yeah. [00:08:55] Speaker A: A lot of mucus. [00:08:55] Speaker C: I'm still phlegmy. [00:08:56] Speaker A: Where does the mucus come from? [00:08:58] Speaker C: Do you ever think, like, where is it being manufactured? It's all the bad thoughts you have in the back of your brain. [00:09:03] Speaker A: Where's. [00:09:03] Speaker C: The gland falls down into the back of your throat, and then you swallow your bad ideas. That's what I learned in Sunday school. [00:09:09] Speaker A: Really? [00:09:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:09:10] Speaker A: Were you Baptist? Sure. Tell me more about this, the gland. Because I'm fascinated by. I have so much mucus that just pours out of my head. [00:09:19] Speaker B: Right. [00:09:20] Speaker A: Where is it being manufactured? You say a gland. Now, where. Where in my body is this coming from? It seems to be coming from in my head. [00:09:27] Speaker C: Yeah, it is. [00:09:29] Speaker A: It's inside my head. [00:09:30] Speaker C: You have so many bad thoughts. [00:09:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:31] Speaker A: Stop. I really want to know the answer to this. Is there a. Because I looked it up on the thing and there's like. I couldn't. [00:09:39] Speaker B: It's directly related to the amount of posh boxing you do. [00:09:42] Speaker A: It's not. Although it is a similar viscousness. My mucus and my seminal flute. Anyway, it is. [00:09:51] Speaker B: It's seminal backup. [00:09:52] Speaker C: It's made in the same place. [00:09:53] Speaker A: It's a seminal backup. [00:09:54] Speaker B: Seminal backup. [00:09:55] Speaker C: Well, that explains it comes back up. [00:09:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:09:57] Speaker A: I missed my. My weekly shag, so maybe that's where it's. [00:10:00] Speaker C: That's why you're so Flemmy. [00:10:01] Speaker A: Yeah. But, boy, did we have a good one last week. Oh, my God. I'm telling you, as you get older, it gets better. Gets better. You just got to go slow anyway. [00:10:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:14] Speaker A: Is there a reservoir in my skull that holds this mucus, or is it coming from somewhere else? Where is it? There's a lot. [00:10:21] Speaker C: So it's like a tree right here. [00:10:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:10:24] Speaker C: You can feel it in the back. [00:10:25] Speaker A: It's in my skull. [00:10:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Press the back. Your spinal cord. [00:10:28] Speaker A: I can't believe this isn't of interest to you. You're jaffing me off here. [00:10:33] Speaker B: I'm not. I'm not a person who's medically conversant. If someone starts telling me their health woes, I just pretty much. [00:10:42] Speaker A: We tune out. We've been tuning in. Let me tell you something. Suck it up, whatever that is. That cookie thing. [00:10:50] Speaker B: Holy. [00:10:50] Speaker A: That's good. [00:10:51] Speaker B: It's kind of. [00:10:51] Speaker A: Try it. [00:10:52] Speaker C: Apple crumbly. [00:10:54] Speaker A: No, it's. It might look that way, but it's nutty. It's. It's caramelly. It's butterscotchy. [00:11:00] Speaker B: I think it was called. It was called a something cookie. I can't remember what. [00:11:06] Speaker A: Well, I'm glad. Well, it's a lot of sweets I [00:11:10] Speaker B: brought, so I got what's in the box. What's in the box? [00:11:15] Speaker A: Here's what I got. [00:11:16] Speaker B: Oh, it's bag, actually. [00:11:18] Speaker A: This is really nice. So I went to the bakery thing. I was like, I'll get a couple things. I'll bring them in. This is like the antithesis of juul, Right. Where you get three things for $3. [00:11:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:29] Speaker A: Here at the farmers market at Benison's Bakery, you get three things for $21. I was like, oh. I was like, what? I. I thought I misheard him. He's like. He starts counting like 65 for that 6, 7. You know how they add it up right in front of you, like without a calculator? [00:11:46] Speaker C: You know, they go, 15. [00:11:47] Speaker A: He goes, 21. Yeah. He's making it up. [00:11:49] Speaker B: And. And they've got you by the jaffers because you're not going to go, no, that's too much. [00:11:53] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:11:53] Speaker A: What do you. [00:11:53] Speaker C: I wonder. [00:11:54] Speaker A: I wonder if. Got me by the jaffers. [00:11:55] Speaker C: I wonder if Mark walked up. Let's say you hadn't walked up and place that order. Let's next week, if Mark walks up [00:12:00] Speaker A: dressed in his good let's do it. [00:12:02] Speaker C: And is in his hoodie and his sweatpants. You know, it's. [00:12:05] Speaker A: See if he's shabby. [00:12:06] Speaker C: See if he gets charged $12. [00:12:07] Speaker B: You have to act agitated, though. [00:12:10] Speaker A: Like. Like you're crazy. [00:12:12] Speaker B: Not crazy. I mean, crazy to me is like licking the windows and, you know, just agitated. [00:12:19] Speaker A: Okay. Well, yeah, I guess I wasn't. I was very greasy, though. [00:12:22] Speaker B: I bet you were agitated afterwards. [00:12:24] Speaker C: Very. [00:12:25] Speaker A: As I walked away grumbling about you and having to feed you fuckers. So, anyway, I went to Benison's Bakery. They're located in Evanston. I don't know where. [00:12:34] Speaker B: Well, there you go. There's $10 straight out of the gate. [00:12:37] Speaker A: Everything's more expensive in Evanston. But here's what I got. I got three things. They're all. Well, no, they're not all croissant related. Look at this. It's an everything croissant. [00:12:47] Speaker B: Wow. [00:12:48] Speaker A: It's an everything croissant with some kind of sour cream chive in the middle. You like that? [00:12:52] Speaker C: Yeah, that sounds like it's right up my alley. [00:12:53] Speaker A: So put that there. Then I got. [00:12:57] Speaker B: Wait, hang on, hang on. No pastry. [00:13:02] Speaker A: What? [00:13:02] Speaker C: I don't like sweet pastries with fruit. [00:13:04] Speaker A: That's not sweet. [00:13:05] Speaker C: I didn't say it was, but Mark's. Mark needs clarification. What kind of pastries I like? [00:13:09] Speaker A: This is a glazed croissant. Glazed. Not to be confused with a soggy biscuit. It's a glazed croissant. Are you familiar with soggy biscuit? [00:13:20] Speaker B: Yes. [00:13:20] Speaker A: You know what that is? What is it? Tell the people. Soggy in high school. [00:13:25] Speaker B: We're not doing the Steph Tolev episode again. We're not reliving it. [00:13:31] Speaker A: Do you know the game? So, okay, and then this is. [00:13:34] Speaker B: Oh, it's all pastry, man. [00:13:36] Speaker A: That's a monstrous cinnamon roll. [00:13:39] Speaker C: Yeah, that's a big one. [00:13:41] Speaker A: Well, maybe I'll. If you don't eat it, I'll take it home to my youth. [00:13:44] Speaker B: No, you know what I'm gonna do is I'll take one for Heather. No. Do you want to trade for these? [00:13:49] Speaker A: I'll trade you whatever. I brought these for you, so I'm not looking to recall. [00:13:52] Speaker B: I'll trade these for whatever you one. You two don't want because you don't like those. I just. I think Heather would prefer these, so I'm willing to trade up. All right, well, unless you don't want these. I'll just take these. She'll eat these. [00:14:09] Speaker A: Those mics in my way. I need to hang from the ceiling. Can we get that. Oh, yeah. So it just hangs down in front of my face. [00:14:13] Speaker C: I should have thought of that so [00:14:14] Speaker A: I have more room. [00:14:15] Speaker B: Well, like a 90s shock chop. Yeah, yeah. [00:14:19] Speaker A: Like Wolfman Jack, Earth, Wind and Fire. [00:14:25] Speaker B: You're just gonna aggressively pull it towards you every time you want to. [00:14:28] Speaker C: Announcing a boxing match. [00:14:29] Speaker A: Yes. Old timey. All right, I'll cut this up. So. Yeah, so there's that. Well, you'll eat this, right? I see you eyeballing it. Christ, you're looking at it like in those cartoons when they look at the strand on the island. [00:14:44] Speaker C: I don't think I could look more apathetic at the moment. [00:14:46] Speaker A: No, you look like you're gonna devour this. Take my hand off. [00:14:51] Speaker C: I did have a big salad, by the way. [00:14:52] Speaker A: You did? This morning? [00:14:53] Speaker C: Yeah, of course. I always do. [00:14:54] Speaker A: Did you put some cider, apple cider vinegar. [00:14:58] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:14:58] Speaker A: On there. [00:14:59] Speaker B: That's good. Where's the plate going? [00:15:01] Speaker A: Well, I got my plate. [00:15:02] Speaker C: I just want one piece. [00:15:04] Speaker A: Let's take a look at this. [00:15:05] Speaker B: You know what? I can. [00:15:06] Speaker C: I'll come get it. [00:15:07] Speaker A: That's good. [00:15:07] Speaker C: I'm not going to eat it right now anyway. [00:15:08] Speaker B: I can break. Break a rule and have a quarter of it. [00:15:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:15:13] Speaker A: What rule are you under? Only eating food? [00:15:16] Speaker B: Not liking pastry. It's a strict rule. [00:15:22] Speaker A: It's not a pastry, but it's not a rule. [00:15:24] Speaker C: It's a preference. [00:15:26] Speaker A: Very salty. [00:15:26] Speaker B: A roll. [00:15:30] Speaker C: Do you. Do you believe against taste? Taste changing over time? Like, I used to hate olives and onions, now I like olives and onions. [00:15:38] Speaker A: I believe that they say the taste buds change every seven years. I believe. [00:15:42] Speaker C: I don't think it can be a constant. I'm sure they say that. I'm sure. Like, there's an average, you know, but. Yeah. So do you believe that if there was something you didn't like 10 years ago, there's a possibility that you could one day enjoy it? [00:15:55] Speaker B: I think you can change to liking something if you just rewire your brain, like, not liking food. Think about how illogical it is. [00:16:04] Speaker C: You just don't. Okay. You don't have a taste for. [00:16:07] Speaker B: When you're a kid, you're like, I don't want to eat vegetables, blah, blah, blah. There's no rhyme or reason. There's no biological reason. [00:16:14] Speaker A: Well, when you're a kid and you don't like vegetables, it's because you. You only want candy, really. It's not that you like them or don't like them. Like, I didn't. I never liked hard boiled eggs. You made me Eat that hard boiled egg. I still don't like a hard boiled egg. Yeah, it's not going to change necessarily. But yes, I believe that your taste buds can change. I think they also become more sensitive in ways not necessarily whether you like something. But I'm picking up more hints of salt all the time in food. Like I can really detect the salt. I don't know what that's about. [00:16:47] Speaker C: So if your taste can change over time, it stands the logic that the rule could change over time. [00:16:54] Speaker B: I could like something if I just rewire my brain to like it. [00:16:59] Speaker A: What do you mean? [00:17:00] Speaker C: Just tell yourself I like this special talent. [00:17:03] Speaker A: So you just, you could eat shit and be like, I like it. [00:17:07] Speaker B: No, I'm not going to eat shit [00:17:09] Speaker A: because I rewired my brain because I'm [00:17:10] Speaker B: going to get like olives. You mentioned olives, right? Olives give me stomach cramps. Right. That's not a. You know, the taste wise. I could get careless. But I won't eat them because I know I don't want stomach cramps. Same as the reason I won't eat because I don't want cholera. [00:17:26] Speaker A: So you would get cholera from eating. So my dog eats. He eats his own. [00:17:32] Speaker B: Yeah, well, dogs are. I mean a bloody. What is it? A vulture can eat raw rancid meat? No. What's it? Anthrax. A vulture can eat anthrax. Be fine and fine because they've got this ultra acid in the stomach. It'll just do anything. [00:17:50] Speaker A: Disgusting people, I feel like are the same way. Right. Like if you're a disgusting person, you have a poor diet. You don't shower, wash your hands. [00:17:59] Speaker B: I smell today just. I'm acknowledging it. [00:18:02] Speaker A: Why? [00:18:04] Speaker B: It just needs to be acknowledged. I smell what's. [00:18:06] Speaker A: What's created the smell. [00:18:08] Speaker B: I didn't shower. [00:18:09] Speaker A: So it's sweat. [00:18:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:12] Speaker A: You didn't put on your coconut deodorant? [00:18:14] Speaker B: No, didn't put on the coconut. Do or wash. [00:18:17] Speaker A: I can't smell you because I'm all stuffed up. [00:18:19] Speaker C: I can't smell you because I'm all the way over here. [00:18:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:22] Speaker A: Did you smell them earlier when you guys were out there? [00:18:24] Speaker C: I hold my breath. [00:18:30] Speaker A: I want to. So I texted you guys. I was on the road this weekend. I headed to Missouri and. And I listened to some of our shows and I'd gotten some feedback from listeners. I should get that feedback about the call in show where it was the Jerry Seinfeld one where I called in because I didn't want to give Christian coronavirus because I've been exposed and they said that was the worst episode ever. And I was like, I didn't think it was that bad while doing it. I thought it was kind of fun while I was talking to you guys, because I could hear you pretty well. But to listen back to it and the difference between your voices and my voice made it just a horrible, horrible listen. It's an awful episode. Yeah, well, it might need to be expunged. [00:19:23] Speaker C: If it were up to me, we would have just recorded it the following week properly. [00:19:27] Speaker A: Well, we'd be in arrears. [00:19:28] Speaker C: That was. [00:19:30] Speaker B: I googled what is the optimal length for a podcast. [00:19:34] Speaker A: You did. [00:19:35] Speaker B: Guess what, guess what. [00:19:36] Speaker A: 45 minutes. 30. 35 minutes. [00:19:39] Speaker B: 20 to 40 minutes. So you're almost cock on there. We are currently running about 80 to 90 minutes, so I might just start splitting them in two. [00:19:49] Speaker A: Yeah, that was the other thing. That other episode that I listened to. Which one was it? I told you is interminably long. We went on and on, but we have so much to talk about. [00:20:00] Speaker C: But also, I mean, you don't have to listen to a whole episode at a time. I'll do that all the time. I'll just listen to part of one. If I've got 20 minutes, I'll listen to 20 minutes and I'll pick it back up later. [00:20:08] Speaker B: Not if you got my brain and you need closure. [00:20:11] Speaker C: Well, so you want to. Yeah. What do you think the percentage of people out there have your brain? [00:20:18] Speaker B: I think a lot of people like closure. [00:20:22] Speaker C: That's not quite what I asked, though, is it? [00:20:26] Speaker B: There's people out there like me. Anyway, another quick one while you're wanking around over there. What I was also researching is so you know how abysmal our listening numbers are. [00:20:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:39] Speaker A: No, I don't. I wish we wouldn't bring that up every week. [00:20:42] Speaker B: So they dipped down into single digit, and I was like, oh, man. Like this. This is we really bottoming out here. It's probably a function of how long the episodes are. But then I looked on. You've been in Castos, right? And there was a second analytics tab. I thought, oh, what's this one? So I go to the analytics tab, and there's a whole thing in there where you could pick podcasts and it'll tell you over time periods what's been listened to and blah, blah, blah. So I was like, okay, how many people have listened to our podcast? I want to give an objective in the last 30 days, right? [00:21:24] Speaker A: You're gonna give us these numbers. I don't think our listeners want to hear this. [00:21:28] Speaker B: 212 people listen in the last 30 days. [00:21:33] Speaker A: 200 separate different people. [00:21:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:21:35] Speaker A: That's good. [00:21:37] Speaker B: And only like 20 of them are you. [00:21:40] Speaker A: I'm only one. So does that mean 212 individual listens? [00:21:47] Speaker B: Yes. [00:21:48] Speaker A: Or individual users listens. [00:21:53] Speaker B: People go to Spotify or other places. It breaks out the Spotify number for whatever way. [00:21:59] Speaker A: I wish you hadn't announced this on air, but. [00:22:01] Speaker C: Oh, my. Actually, my. My sister is one of those. She listened to our Jerry Seinfeld episode recently. She told me finally she liked it. Well, I don't know. She did. She listened the first five minutes. She liked that. [00:22:12] Speaker B: But it. [00:22:12] Speaker C: She could have turned it off. [00:22:13] Speaker B: So the 212 kind of buoyed me a little bit. [00:22:16] Speaker A: Buoyed you? [00:22:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:17] Speaker A: Boy do. [00:22:19] Speaker B: Then I thought, I wonder if people still listen to the podcast. I did in lockdown in 2020. [00:22:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:22:26] Speaker B: So I just googled how many people. Yeah. Google Analytics said this is how many people listened to your six year old podcast. And there was 22. [00:22:38] Speaker C: 22. That's it. [00:22:40] Speaker B: In the last 30 days. [00:22:42] Speaker C: Oh, in the last 30 days. [00:22:44] Speaker B: In the last. Oh, no, I mean total listens. My podcast knocks this one into a hat every time. Just not. No comparison. [00:22:54] Speaker A: What are you driving at here? [00:22:56] Speaker B: I don't know. I'm just. This is just information trying to get [00:22:59] Speaker A: rid of me or us? [00:23:00] Speaker B: No, just information. [00:23:02] Speaker A: Just cocking us off. [00:23:03] Speaker B: Information. [00:23:04] Speaker A: Braggadocio. [00:23:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, that's interesting because then it makes me mistrust. I'm like, there's no Jeff in way 22. People said, let me listen to a six. Six year old podcast. [00:23:15] Speaker C: I'll tell you how it could happen. Bots, either. Bots. Or if you have your podcast on like autoplay, the next episode, it might just pick. It's done that to me, where it's like replayed an episode. I'll just be, you know, like my blue side of the apartment, you know, and it. It just starts the next episode. It'll be something I listened to a year ago. You know, it's just queued up for whatever reason. [00:23:38] Speaker A: Here is the difference I see between your. Your numbers. This is what the numbers don't tell you. Whatever that shite was that you peddled out there during COVID Right. You had a more captive audience, for one. [00:23:49] Speaker B: You were never a guest. Right. That's. [00:23:51] Speaker A: Nor was I ever a listener. [00:23:53] Speaker B: Yeah. All right. [00:23:58] Speaker A: The. You promoted it. We have never once promoted this podcast in any way. [00:24:03] Speaker B: I promoted it at the start. [00:24:05] Speaker A: This one. [00:24:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:06] Speaker A: To who? To whom. [00:24:08] Speaker B: For instance, my Welsh Mate who lives the other side of the globe. Ping me about listening to it. [00:24:14] Speaker A: I'm not talking about telling Bill Begain or Alex Cuomos or Brandon Rockhold about this or your Welsh mate or your Aunt Sally Christian. Who is it? [00:24:27] Speaker C: Oh, my sister. [00:24:28] Speaker A: There's a chance to name drop people that are listening. Yeah, or your sister. [00:24:31] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:24:33] Speaker A: Right. Just say her. No, you don't want to say. [00:24:35] Speaker C: I could say her name. [00:24:36] Speaker A: Good. So let's say her name. Say my. Say. Say his name. [00:24:40] Speaker C: His name is Chelsea. [00:24:41] Speaker B: Okay. [00:24:42] Speaker C: So Chelsea McCann is our latest. [00:24:44] Speaker A: We're avid listeners. Yeah, Right. This is not about. Hey, listen to my. This is about promoting the show. Were we. If we were to promote the show, like, put it out on socials, really just take a one swing at throwing this out there for the masses. You'd see a huge number. Spike. No, we haven't done that. Why? We haven't done that. We can talk about that. You know, I kind of enjoy the anonymity of it. I don't want to necessarily get a lot of eyes on this thing. [00:25:13] Speaker C: Why is that? [00:25:16] Speaker A: I ran into Danny Kalis on the bus the other night. I was coming on, but I tell you. Do we talk about this? Saw Danny Callis on the bus. He got on. We were on the western bus. I was with some other guys, and he starts asking about the pod. Hey, what's going on with the podcast? How you guys doing? And this guy I was with didn't know about it because I work with this guy, and he's like, what, you do a podcast? What? And he's asking Daniel. And now, you know, people work, so I don't want everybody. [00:25:39] Speaker C: You don't want everybody hearing your misogyny? [00:25:42] Speaker A: What? They won't hear that because I don't have any misogyny. Have it. I'm not misogynist. [00:25:50] Speaker B: Talking to misogynist. You see who died today? [00:25:53] Speaker C: Who died today? [00:25:54] Speaker A: Laraz Sweat. [00:25:55] Speaker B: No, it's a bad one for you. [00:25:58] Speaker C: Oh, I know who it was. [00:25:59] Speaker A: I think. Heather Locklear. No. Heather Thomas. [00:26:02] Speaker C: Does it have something to do with nerds? [00:26:04] Speaker B: Yes. [00:26:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:26:05] Speaker A: Oh, nerds. [00:26:06] Speaker C: Oh, and the revenge of them. [00:26:09] Speaker A: Oh, it's a guy. [00:26:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. [00:26:11] Speaker A: Robert Carrity. [00:26:12] Speaker B: No. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Anthony Edwards. [00:26:14] Speaker B: Nope. [00:26:15] Speaker A: Ted McGinley. [00:26:16] Speaker B: Nope. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Ogre. [00:26:19] Speaker B: Ogre died. [00:26:21] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:26:22] Speaker B: I hope that doesn't ruin the rest of the podcast for you. [00:26:25] Speaker A: No, I actually thought he was dead. [00:26:27] Speaker B: Is he the one that owned that [00:26:28] Speaker A: bar up Trader Tots? [00:26:30] Speaker C: He owns Trader Todd. Still does. [00:26:32] Speaker A: No way. [00:26:32] Speaker C: Well, not anymore. [00:26:34] Speaker A: Because it's the estate of Ogre Yeah. [00:26:36] Speaker C: I had no idea. Seven days a week, karaoke. [00:26:40] Speaker A: Yep. [00:26:40] Speaker C: I remember I went there one time for a work party and that bartender couldn't have been the more. It was the most miserable bartender I've ever seen in my life. And I was thinking like, God, I get it though. If I had to listen to karaoke every single night, I'd be miserable too. [00:26:52] Speaker A: In like a tiki atmosphere. [00:26:53] Speaker C: Yeah, Like, I was surprised. I'm like, dude, I give you credit just for being here. You know, you can have whatever attitude you want. It's understandable. [00:27:01] Speaker B: And then everyone walking in going, is ogre in? [00:27:03] Speaker A: Is ogre in? So Donald Gibb died. How did he die? Was it a cancer or something? [00:27:11] Speaker B: I don't know. He was beaten to death by popular kids. [00:27:19] Speaker A: Ultimate irony, right? [00:27:20] Speaker B: Anthony Edwards strangled him with a Pringle sweater. [00:27:23] Speaker A: What's a Pringle sweater? [00:27:25] Speaker B: Pringle was like the 80s, you know, [00:27:28] Speaker A: like an argyle sweater. [00:27:29] Speaker B: Yeah, argyle. Yeah. They were the designer brand that all the Pringles, the rich, popular kids in England. [00:27:34] Speaker C: I think over here it was Polo or Isod. [00:27:37] Speaker A: Isad. [00:27:38] Speaker C: Yeah. Remember that? [00:27:40] Speaker A: She's just calling it Azad. Yes. [00:27:42] Speaker C: No, I really think that's odd. [00:27:44] Speaker B: What about. What about Fred Perry? [00:27:47] Speaker A: I love Fred Perry. That's a British one, right? [00:27:50] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:27:51] Speaker A: They're not any. I don't know if they're still odd. [00:27:53] Speaker B: Revival. Well, I like, they got. Fred Perry got in trouble because of the Proud Boy. [00:27:59] Speaker A: Oh, they do. Oh, I didn't know that. [00:28:00] Speaker B: So they had to stop making the black with yellow trim because those became Proud Boy uniform. Yeah. [00:28:07] Speaker C: Remember when those, those T shirts that had puns on them became very popular? Like seven days without soccer makes one week. Those are incredibly popular around like the early 90s. [00:28:19] Speaker A: Kind of. Not like, I remember Big Johnson. Remember Big Johnson? I don't remember that. [00:28:26] Speaker C: Umbro. [00:28:27] Speaker A: Oh, Umbro. I'd like to get a pair of Umbro shorts. You don't see that. [00:28:30] Speaker C: Maybe ebay. [00:28:32] Speaker B: Go to England. All you'll see is friggin Umbro. I like Umbros. They're a big football brand. [00:28:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Still. [00:28:38] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:28:39] Speaker A: Umbro. [00:28:40] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. That was the. When I worked for that sportswear company. Holy crap. 50% of what we sold was Umbro. [00:28:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:48] Speaker B: Because of the 40 fans. [00:28:49] Speaker A: Do you know about how guys. Not me, but guys would go to places where women take up. They're called strip clubs. And they would wear Umbros into the. Into the club with no underwear. So that when they got a lap dance, you know, it was like Basically, they were naked because they had the umbros on, no underpants. And they would. They would receive the lap dance. They clamp down on that now. In fact, a friend of mine, I won't say his name, was recently at one such establishment down on. What is it that Weeds Hubbard. I think it's the VIPs, maybe. [00:29:29] Speaker B: I thought they didn't have strip clubs in the city. I thought you had to go out to the airport. [00:29:33] Speaker A: No. Yeah, I guess they'll get one. [00:29:35] Speaker B: Oh, no. I guess. I guess. What's it, Admiral? [00:29:39] Speaker A: Yeah, that's out there. Heavenly Bodies. I'm sure you're familiar with Heavenly Bodies. [00:29:43] Speaker B: Remember the adverts on the radio, Heavenly Box. Then what's it. Jeff Siena used to do the joke about it, didn't he? He's like addicted to meth. Heavenly Bodies. Then he just did all this. Do you remember it? [00:29:58] Speaker A: No. [00:29:59] Speaker B: No. [00:29:59] Speaker A: That's funny, though. Anyway, guy. A friend of mine went into VIPs not long ago wearing sweatpants. Okay, this is amazing, right? They wouldn't let him in. The only way to get in, they sold. They sell pants right there. They made him buy a pair of pants at the door. Like, I don't know, dickies or something. I think they might have been dick, like, for, like $50 to get in. [00:30:23] Speaker C: That's so funny. [00:30:24] Speaker A: They're selling pants at Redhead Piano Bar. [00:30:28] Speaker C: You know the place down in Ontario. [00:30:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:30:30] Speaker C: You can't go in there. At least this is the way it was 15 years ago. You couldn't go in there without a suit jacket on. Really? And so if you went. I went there with a buddy of mine that was in from out of town. I was like, oh, let's go over to this place. You know, I've been hanging out there recently. And we walk in and it must just be on the weekends or something, because I'd been there without a suit jacket on. But the guy at the door, he was like, hey, you can't come in without a suit jacket on. Him like, oh, we don't have suit jackets. He's like, hold on, we sell you one. No. He's like, we have a stash of ones that you can just borrow just to walk in with. And he comes back and he gives us these suit jackets. And they're like. The sleeves are like, up, like my forearm. They've got elbow patches on them that are, like on my shoulder. Three sizes too small. I'm walking around in this ridiculous small suit jacket, looking like Chris Farley, you know, And I'm thinking, Like this isn't better than how I looked without the suit jacket, you know. But hey, I'm game. I'll do it. [00:31:21] Speaker A: I love it. [00:31:22] Speaker C: But this isn't. This is not an improvement. [00:31:24] Speaker B: My favorite thing about coming to Chicago was that no one gave any standards of dress here. You could walking around in cargo. [00:31:33] Speaker C: I'm shocked. [00:31:33] Speaker A: Yeah, that suits you. [00:31:34] Speaker C: Well, when people wear pajama pants outside blows my mind. I think it's disgusting. I can't stand that. [00:31:41] Speaker B: No, no, I don't like that. I'm saying at night when you used to go out, like in England, they would be like, you're not coming in in checkered trousers. You're not coming in in those shoes. And it was just mostly to keep groups of lads out of the nightclubs and get more women in. [00:31:56] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:57] Speaker B: And it just drove. They would just like arbitrary fashion things just to keep you out. [00:32:05] Speaker C: Yeah, you're right. You can just walk into any place looking however you want. [00:32:08] Speaker B: Then you come to Chicago and they're like, yeah, we don't care if you come into this nightclub in shorts and sandals. To be quite frank, I saw a [00:32:15] Speaker C: guy running through the airport with flip flops on a couple weeks ago. He's a grown man. This guy's like 16. [00:32:21] Speaker A: Run in those, isn't it? [00:32:21] Speaker C: Yeah. Why are you wearing flip flops to the airport? Nobody put your dragging a bag. First of all. Nobody wants to see your feet, you know. [00:32:28] Speaker A: Grosses me out. [00:32:29] Speaker C: And then, and then it serves you right. Then if you went to the wrong gate. Now you got to run to the other. And you look, you look silly running in flip flops. Grown, grown ass man running down the hallway and flip flops. Not going fast at all. Definitely going to blow out his ACL at some point. [00:32:44] Speaker A: He might have if you had followed him. Yeah, you know, can't run very well open toes. You ever think about a dress code here for this place? [00:32:53] Speaker C: Everybody dresses so snazzy already. [00:32:54] Speaker B: People ask about it as well. [00:32:56] Speaker A: Is there a dress code? [00:32:57] Speaker B: No. [00:32:57] Speaker A: They call up for tickets. They call your personal number to get tickets to the show. [00:33:03] Speaker B: Do you have a dress code? Considering most of the people on the stage have been dragged through a fucking hedge, probably not. [00:33:10] Speaker C: Sometimes I get those calls by accident. I tell them full tuxedo only. That's the only way you can get through the door. [00:33:15] Speaker A: You know, you might consider like making people have a fez. Like you either have a fez to come in or you have to buy one at the door. And you could sell more fezzes like Burger King crowns. That way, the entire audience is wearing the fez. Did you ever consider that. [00:33:31] Speaker B: Early days, we talked about. We were trying to create a foe. A faux. You know. [00:33:38] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:38] Speaker B: Like a Happy Days. Yeah. [00:33:41] Speaker A: His name, Richard Cunningham. [00:33:44] Speaker B: It just. It just totally confused the shit out of people. [00:33:47] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:47] Speaker B: Do you. We. Did you ever see a large show where we made everyone stand up and take the lodge Pledge? [00:33:53] Speaker A: I. Sounds like I remember, but I don't know. [00:33:56] Speaker B: We tried it two or three times, and it just killed the show, dad. Because you get everyone up, say this, and then they'd sit down going, what the is this? What. What are we doing here? [00:34:05] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, you're a cult. [00:34:06] Speaker B: Yeah. And then the host. They didn't see it as, like, funny. [00:34:10] Speaker A: Ironic. Yeah. [00:34:10] Speaker B: They just saw it as stupid. And now the. The show's already in a hole. [00:34:15] Speaker A: Yeah. You don't want to start in a hole. [00:34:17] Speaker C: No. [00:34:18] Speaker A: Hey, I thought we were gonna start this show with a disclaimer. You didn't write the disclaimer? [00:34:21] Speaker B: Yeah, I can't get to it. [00:34:23] Speaker A: You're very busy. [00:34:24] Speaker B: I'm almost finished my. Hey, guess what, though? See my new note? [00:34:26] Speaker A: Yeah. What's that about? [00:34:27] Speaker B: So I found this digging through the trash last year when they demolished the house behind us. Every day they would bring out stuff from the 50s and 60s that they'd found in the basement. [00:34:40] Speaker A: That's cool. [00:34:40] Speaker B: So I, you know, being me, I'm having a good route around. See what goodies are in there. And I found this notebook. And on it there's a note. What is it? October 5, 1965. Wow. In ing page. Heather. Heather could read this. She. She immediately went, yeah, this is notes for a student. [00:35:05] Speaker A: So this is like somebody's to do list from 1965. [00:35:08] Speaker B: So how cool is that? [00:35:09] Speaker A: Let me see that. Pass it over here. We have a look at that. I also brought something else, as you can see in front of you for decorations for the studio, which you. [00:35:21] Speaker C: Yeah. Are those blueprints? [00:35:22] Speaker A: We look like it. [00:35:23] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:35:23] Speaker C: A roll of something. [00:35:24] Speaker A: My son donated that. [00:35:28] Speaker C: Is that a what About Bob poster? Yep. No way. Yeah. [00:35:31] Speaker A: What about Bob? What about Bob? It's a great film. One of our great comedians. [00:35:37] Speaker C: It is. I love that. I love that movie. [00:35:40] Speaker B: Thank. Thank your progeny. Offspring. I'll have to work on a frame for it, though. [00:35:45] Speaker A: You could just tack it up. [00:35:48] Speaker B: It'll be down in minutes. [00:35:50] Speaker A: Magnet to the door. [00:35:51] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. We could do the time being. [00:35:54] Speaker B: You put it on the door. It's going to get. [00:35:57] Speaker A: It's fun to look at, though. [00:35:58] Speaker B: Give it a try. [00:35:59] Speaker A: I still think we got to keep thinking about this room and. And adding more things. It is. Well, it's my allergies. Yeah. This is interesting. 1965. What were you doing in 1965? Oh, there's a lot of notes in here. I like this. This little thing for note. You're gonna use it for notes? [00:36:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:23] Speaker A: Take these off. [00:36:23] Speaker B: No, I'm leaving it on because notes and assignments. I always feel like if something has survived 50 years, it should be preserved. [00:36:31] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:31] Speaker B: You're just gonna. [00:36:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree. I agree. Just work behind those notes. Listen, I know you don't eat sweets, Christian, but this. This glazed croissant is like nothing I've ever had. [00:36:40] Speaker B: If Marilyn Marshall. If you're still alive. [00:36:44] Speaker A: Yeah. We have your notebook. [00:36:45] Speaker B: I have your notebook. [00:36:47] Speaker A: Oh, I have one other thing. This is a gift. Not from me. This is. This one is for Geary. I need to write him myself. Marin autograph on one of my stupid comics. That's from Mike Olsen sent me that in the mail to give to you. It's an autograph from Marc Maron, I guess maybe from that fateful weekend they had together where he did 50 bags of blow. And it says. [00:37:26] Speaker B: What does it say, Mike? Oh, you from Mark Marin? [00:37:31] Speaker A: Yeah. There you go. Mark Marina. That should be up in here. Put that up in here. [00:37:34] Speaker B: This is a. This is a facsimile. [00:37:37] Speaker A: He didn't give you the original, but he. [00:37:39] Speaker B: Well, I told you that was the only time. The only time I ever saw Mike Olson drunk. And I don't know if it was [00:37:46] Speaker A: when he was with Mark Marin. [00:37:47] Speaker B: Yeah, it was the end of festival rap show, and he. He wandered up to Marc Maron. I don't know if this happened after this or before this, but Olson wandered up to Marc Maron and said, you should have my autograph. Whipped out a sharpie and just wrote his name on Marc Maron's T shirt. White T shirt. So I don't know if that proceeded or was prompted by this. [00:38:13] Speaker A: What sort of. Quite a bender. It was quite a bender that weekend. [00:38:16] Speaker C: What sort of reaction did that get? [00:38:18] Speaker B: Marin just totally tried to style it out. He just looked at it and went, oh, thanks, and then closed his corduroy jacket. Yeah. Only time I ever saw Mike Olsen drunk. I want to say. I bet you can't name more than three. [00:38:34] Speaker A: I don't want to talk about this man's, you know, vices on air. [00:38:38] Speaker B: Well, he doesn't have any. [00:38:39] Speaker A: He's a reputable man up in. [00:38:41] Speaker B: That's the Point. He doesn't have vices. I'm stating he doesn't. [00:38:44] Speaker A: Well, maybe he does, and I don't want to disclose him on this program. [00:38:47] Speaker B: Oh, you got some juicy Olsen. [00:38:49] Speaker A: Go. I'm just. I don't want to go down that road. [00:38:51] Speaker B: All right. [00:38:52] Speaker A: For instance, I know Christian has some peccadillo he wouldn't want spoken about on air. [00:38:57] Speaker C: What is it? What the hell is a peccadillo? [00:39:00] Speaker B: Small armored turtle. [00:39:02] Speaker C: That's what I thought. [00:39:03] Speaker A: I don't know what it is I might be misusing. [00:39:05] Speaker C: And why are you bringing me up? [00:39:06] Speaker A: Well, you're in the room. [00:39:07] Speaker C: Oh, okay. [00:39:08] Speaker A: Just saying I know some things about you that you wouldn't want spoken of on air. And you know. How do I know? Because I know you. And we spend time together right inside and outside of here, you know? And you know some things about me I don't want on here. My wife's going to want to know [00:39:23] Speaker B: what that is, but walk straight into it. [00:39:27] Speaker A: Always. All right, last thing and then we'll get into today's comedian Megan Daly. [00:39:34] Speaker B: Or gayly. [00:39:36] Speaker A: Or gayly. Well, we didn't really know because all we knew was what you verbally said here last week and Christian and I clamoring last night in the small hours to find out what the hell the special is, what her name is, where we can find it. You're nowhere to be found. Not responsive. What was with you last night? [00:39:54] Speaker B: I go to bed at quarter past nine. I read for 45 minutes and then I'm out. [00:40:00] Speaker A: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. What were you reading? [00:40:03] Speaker B: I was reading Viz. [00:40:06] Speaker A: Sure. You read Viz. [00:40:07] Speaker B: I read this. [00:40:08] Speaker A: You're getting new copies sent to the home? [00:40:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:40:10] Speaker A: That's amazing. [00:40:11] Speaker B: And then I was reading Thatcher Stole My Trousers, the biography of Alexi Sale. What's the word? [00:40:21] Speaker A: Who's Alexi Sale? [00:40:22] Speaker B: He's a. [00:40:23] Speaker A: Sounds familiar. [00:40:23] Speaker B: He's a comedy God. [00:40:25] Speaker A: Oh, I know. In England, I think I was thinking of Alexi Lawless. [00:40:30] Speaker B: With the World cup approaching, Alexis Sale is famous for. I know. I don't know where you would have seen him because you wouldn't watch British tv. It was in Gorky Park. William Hurt thing, if you ever saw that. [00:40:45] Speaker A: Gorky Park? Yeah, I remember the movie. I don't see. [00:40:48] Speaker B: It. [00:40:48] Speaker A: Came out a similar time to Moscow and the Hudson. Robin Williams. [00:40:53] Speaker B: Oh. But anyway. William Hurt starting Gorky Park. [00:40:56] Speaker A: I love William Hurt. He's great. Now, I forgot. Oh, what were we talking about? [00:41:04] Speaker B: Where was I? When? [00:41:06] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:41:06] Speaker B: Decided to finally watch it. [00:41:08] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, you Know what? I get a lot of, like, if I don't say, are we on? What's the link? But you're nowhere to be found. You didn't say anything. You're, like, basically incognito in between these episodes. Okay, you're just nodding. Well, thankfully, Christian was able to, you know, piece it together. I don't know how you did it. Right. Because I typed in Megan Daly live from my basement. Came up with nothing. [00:41:31] Speaker C: I just typed. I think I just ended up typing Megan live from my. And then that came up. [00:41:36] Speaker A: It was like the third Megan live from my. [00:41:38] Speaker C: Yeah, because that's the information I knew I had. [00:41:41] Speaker A: Well, I hope you have more information about this gal, because, you know, we don't know a lot other than what we saw. Right? You don't know much over there. [00:41:48] Speaker C: Do you know. [00:41:49] Speaker A: You know this gal? [00:41:50] Speaker C: No. Never heard of her. [00:41:51] Speaker A: All right, so we'll get to her in a minute. But before we do, and if you have any other agenda items, I got Ruseneck coming next week to do many jobs. Every day is a new job for Ruseneck. Changing the. Changing the fixtures like this from room to room. Because my kids want a different fixture, maybe putting in an outlet. [00:42:13] Speaker B: What's the quote? [00:42:15] Speaker A: I didn't get a quote yet. Our outdoor lights, some nights they're on, some nights they're not. I don't know what. You know, we have those, like, hanging lights outside the house. You see them everywhere. [00:42:25] Speaker B: You know, that's kind of a snub for me and you. [00:42:28] Speaker A: How is it a snub? [00:42:30] Speaker B: Yeah, we need the money. [00:42:32] Speaker A: That's what I'm getting at. I've got rusna coming. I want to call him up. I go, mark and Christian, they say they can do this stuff. We'll pay them. As long as they undercut Rusnik, we'll pay them the money. And my wife said, I don't know. It seems like Mark is gonna be a bodger. Yes, exactly. He's a bodger, right? He's gonna be a slap. He's gonna slam the in there, and it's not gonna be right. [00:42:53] Speaker B: Wow. [00:42:53] Speaker A: She said that about you? [00:42:54] Speaker B: Wow. [00:42:55] Speaker A: I go, I don't tell him you said that. And she's like, wow. Well, he reputation precedes you. [00:43:02] Speaker B: She's banned from this podcast. [00:43:04] Speaker A: You're a jerry rigger. [00:43:06] Speaker B: You know what that is, right? If you're listening, take your headphones off right now. You're banned. [00:43:10] Speaker A: She can't listen. You're gonna block out. Can you block a listener? I don't think you can do you will. You guys accept the job, come over with your ladder and whatnot like you do here. And you look at the stuff and try to fix it. And we'll pay you what we would pay Rusnick, but just less cash. [00:43:30] Speaker C: That really depends on how. What the pay is, what the job is. [00:43:33] Speaker A: Well, it's whatever Rusnak would. You know Rusnik's gonna gouge me. You just give me a fair price. Give me a fair price. You guys seem to know a lot about what's fair in the electrical world. Give me a fair price and I'll pay it. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna nickel and dime you. I'll pay whatever you say. [00:43:50] Speaker B: Well, you just said your old lady's nixed it. [00:43:53] Speaker A: She didn't. She. She's open to it, but she does. She is dubious of your craftsmanship, of your handiwork. [00:44:00] Speaker B: Hang on. I thought you rented. No. [00:44:03] Speaker A: What does that have to do with any. What do you mean rented? Rented our home. [00:44:06] Speaker B: Yeah.

Come over at your leisure. [00:45:01] Speaker C: Very vague. [00:45:03] Speaker A: Come over at your leisure whenever posing. Take a look at the job. [00:45:06] Speaker B: Now you've kind of. You prefaced it. I'm gonna feel your old lady's eyes burning. [00:45:12] Speaker A: I know how I feel every day of my life. Yeah. Welcome to my world. [00:45:17] Speaker B: What if we do this? What if we. [00:45:18] Speaker A: I know where to find you, though. [00:45:20] Speaker B: Yeah. What if we do commando style. You wait for her to go umbros.

[00:54:25] Speaker B: Do you know what else is in the window? The birthing present that I bought for that kid. [00:54:31] Speaker A: Really? [00:54:31] Speaker B: So cuz, cj, there's a joke in there that like Megan goes, all guys like is 90s basketball. [00:54:39] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:40] Speaker B: And that's CJ's whole thing. I once said to him, why don't you just write a goddamn sitcom pilot about a bunch of 90s basketball stars living in the house together? [00:54:50] Speaker A: That's a good idea. [00:54:51] Speaker B: And he goes, he goes, I did want to do it, but I found out it was already done. Like what. When, what did make it so what I. When on the birth of their child. I bought him. I found you remember those pictures? And it's like babies dressed in basketball uniforms, like looking at the city. So you'd have like a. You'd have like a baby Jordan and a baby. I don't know who these people are. [00:55:26] Speaker A: I know the people. What? [00:55:27] Speaker B: Every single thrift store in the. In the early 2000s had acres of these things rolled up. [00:55:34] Speaker A: No, I don't know. [00:55:35] Speaker B: Because the rules used to be one like you know, Jordan, Pippin, Rodman. They're babies. [00:55:40] Speaker A: Baby versions of them. [00:55:41] Speaker B: And yeah. [00:55:42] Speaker A: Why are they looking at the city? This doesn't make any sense. Who would buy that shit? That's not art. [00:55:47] Speaker B: Everyone bought it apparently and then sold [00:55:50] Speaker C: it back to the thrift store. [00:55:51] Speaker B: Yeah. And so being a big 90s basketball fan, I found CJ1 with, you know, Jordan and whoever these people are. Bart, I think one of the guys she's talking about, but Barkley. [00:56:04] Speaker A: Oh yeah, I thought about Charles Barkley. [00:56:07] Speaker B: Who would else be famous? [00:56:10] Speaker A: Basketball Shaquille o'. [00:56:11] Speaker C: Neal. [00:56:11] Speaker B: Yeah, o'. Neal. He's on it. [00:56:14] Speaker A: So what was the gift? One of that. One of those things? [00:56:16] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:56:17] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:56:18] Speaker B: You did. You just. I'm not full, but I bet I gave one to you. [00:56:23] Speaker A: You didn't. Never gave me any. Any birthing gifts. [00:56:26] Speaker B: Yes, we did. [00:56:27] Speaker A: I never received a birthing gift. [00:56:29] Speaker B: Yes, you did. [00:56:30] Speaker C: I did. [00:56:30] Speaker A: Oh, you gave me a blanket, didn't you? [00:56:32] Speaker B: Heather hand knitted it. [00:56:33] Speaker A: Yeah, that was sweet. Super sweet of her. That's right. Sorry I said nothing. I just feel like you haven't done enough for me. [00:56:40] Speaker B: And I think we also. Didn't we bring you a. Heather has this thing about bringing people lasagnas. [00:56:48] Speaker A: You might have. Yeah. [00:56:49] Speaker B: Upon bereavement and birth. [00:56:51] Speaker A: Did you bring me any bereavement? I've lost both my parents, my brother. I don't remember a lasagna, but that would have been nice. It's never too late on that either, right? I mean, is there a statute of limitations on bereavement lasagna? [00:57:02] Speaker C: I don't think so. [00:57:04] Speaker A: Be awkward, though, if you brought somebody a lasagna after someone died three years ago. [00:57:07] Speaker C: Yeah, and it's a little late, but, [00:57:11] Speaker B: you know, there's a million hideous. [00:57:13] Speaker A: That's the most hideous looking thing I've ever seen, and I've never seen that before. Oh, this just came up on your phone, Mark. Breaking news. Man sentenced over Matthew Perry's overdose death. [00:57:24] Speaker B: Whoa. Stop the podcast. We're going to that. We're going live. [00:57:31] Speaker A: That's an ugly picture. Those babies look creepy as hell. They don't look like real babies. Look like progerians or something. Okay, so obviously this is, you know, you've chosen this. You have a ulterior motive for choosing the special. You're trying to promote this woman and her husband, trying to get their names out there to all our listeners and spike their numbers. So, okay, we'll go through with this, but, you know, in the future, let's not just choose our friends and try to. [00:58:04] Speaker B: Megan actually told me she wasn't doing podcasts anymore because her management had told him the numbers were soft and it [00:58:10] Speaker A: wasn't worth it just being a guest on a podcast. Yeah, [00:58:19] Speaker B: Well, she'd do it, I'll tell you that. [00:58:23] Speaker A: Can you stop talking about that? If people feel like no one's listening, then they'll be like, why am I listening? You're trying to drive this into the ground. [00:58:32] Speaker B: I'm building an air of exclusivity. [00:58:34] Speaker A: Yeah, well, we've already have that. Okay. Or any other background information you want to share. You want to disclose any other poster relationships that might bias your thinking even more? [00:58:53] Speaker B: I did look up. Did you ever hear house was. I've never been to that. [00:58:56] Speaker A: I do want to talk about that [00:58:57] Speaker B: house, but I do know where it is. [00:58:58] Speaker A: Where is it? [00:58:59] Speaker B: It's, you know, where Derrise's lives, kind of. [00:59:02] Speaker A: Acosta? [00:59:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I think so. [00:59:05] Speaker A: That's way the fuck out. That's not. [00:59:06] Speaker B: That's like Pasadena. [00:59:09] Speaker A: Yeah. That's where she is? [00:59:10] Speaker B: I think so. Yeah. Yeah. [00:59:11] Speaker A: It seemed like Acosta's house in some ways, you know, like the way it was looking over the hills. [00:59:16] Speaker B: Where have you. [00:59:16] Speaker A: I was thinking she was. When I. When we first. When it first comes on, I think she's in Hollywood, like looking down over Sunset Boulevard. Did you feel that way? [00:59:24] Speaker C: Doesn't she bring that up? That the view was a Domino's and eight storage places and that's the olay that she knows? [00:59:29] Speaker A: Yeah. But it didn't really say where she was. I just assumed she was like right in Hollywood. Just seem like that. Because that's like what it looks like to me. [00:59:37] Speaker B: But anytime anyone tells me they live in LA and gives me an address, I immediately think Hollywood. No, I immediately look it up on the map thing. [00:59:46] Speaker A: And why? [00:59:47] Speaker B: I don't know. I'm just obsessed with it because I know LA is the most expensive housing in America. [00:59:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:59:54] Speaker B: And so I want to know how [00:59:58] Speaker A: price on her house, what does it cost? You don't want to say that on here. [01:00:02] Speaker B: No, I don't do that. I just look where it is. And that gives me ballpark. But what. When I looked it up, it was the listing and. Are you familiar with the band Blur and the album 13? [01:00:15] Speaker A: Yeah. You know Blur? [01:00:16] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:00:17] Speaker A: You know what's their hit? [01:00:18] Speaker B: The Blur album cover, where it seems like a stretcher being pushed. [01:00:23] Speaker C: I don't know if I could recognize an album cover. [01:00:25] Speaker B: Well, I could because when I went to their house listing in the. In the main living room, someone had a swear to God, six foot by six foot reproduction of this Blur album [01:00:37] Speaker A: cover in their home or some other home. [01:00:40] Speaker B: In their home they have a Blur album before they bought it. So I asked cj, did they leave the Blur album cover thing? Because I would have made that a deal breaker. [01:00:50] Speaker A: You wanted it. [01:00:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:00:51] Speaker A: Yeah. They didn't. [01:00:52] Speaker B: Six, six foot by six foot Blur album cover. Come on. [01:00:56] Speaker C: Was that the album with the Girls who like boys who like boys who [01:00:59] Speaker A: like girls, Girls who like boys. I like boys, I like boys. [01:01:03] Speaker B: I like boys now that's part of the park life. [01:01:05] Speaker C: Yeah, park life. That's one that I listen to all the time. [01:01:08] Speaker B: God, the entire world. [01:01:09] Speaker A: That was on repeat for a while. [01:01:11] Speaker B: That was the breaking of Brit pop. Like, when. [01:01:14] Speaker A: What year is this? I Like Boys. [01:01:18] Speaker B: Girls and Boys is. I want to say 93, [01:01:24] Speaker C: before Gorillaz. [01:01:27] Speaker B: I mean, when that album came out, that was it. It was full on Blur verse versus Oasis. [01:01:33] Speaker A: I like boys I like boys and girls and girls and like boys who like boys who like boys I thought [01:01:42] Speaker B: Americans only knew song number two. [01:01:48] Speaker C: How's that goes? [01:01:49] Speaker B: Woohoo. [01:01:54] Speaker C: I do that one. I do that one at dueling pianos. You do Woohoo. Yeah. It always gets a big reaction because nobody's expecting that. In the piano, I've got the drum track and everything. [01:02:03] Speaker A: You know all the words to that song? [01:02:05] Speaker C: Yeah. This is like four of them. [01:02:06] Speaker A: When you're doing that show, you can't know the words to all these songs. You got to have like. [01:02:11] Speaker C: I have. [01:02:12] Speaker A: It's like karaoke, kind of. You have the things in front of you. [01:02:14] Speaker C: I make song charts for all of our songs and it has the lyrics on them, and I can bring them up in front of me on an iPad. [01:02:20] Speaker A: But for all the songs that you know you're gonna play. But you take requests too. [01:02:25] Speaker C: Yeah, and so I'll just look those up. I'll just type in like on the search engine, if I don't know the song already, I'll type in the name of the song and I'll give you that chords at the end and I'll just bring up like, ultimate guitar. And that has the lyrics in there with the chords, and you just kind of do it on the fly. But if it's a song I do a lot, obviously, I'll start to remember the words. [01:02:41] Speaker A: I was disappointed when I came to the show that my song didn't get played. [01:02:45] Speaker C: What song was that? [01:02:46] Speaker A: Zanzibar by Billy Joel? [01:02:48] Speaker C: Yeah, that one. That's not really one that's gonna be picked out of the pile as a crowd pleaser. [01:02:55] Speaker A: So you're only picking ones that are crowd pleasers. What about the guy in the crowd [01:02:58] Speaker C: that wants to be pleased you're performing for? Well, yeah, I mean, it's majority role. [01:03:01] Speaker A: Sansa Bottom. [01:03:03] Speaker C: I'm not saying it's. I like that song. [01:03:04] Speaker A: You do? [01:03:04] Speaker C: I do, yeah. I really like that song. But, you know, you gotta. You gotta know your audience and know. Who wants to use hands, A bar. Which one? [01:03:12] Speaker A: Nobody. [01:03:12] Speaker C: Who's the one guy that does want to hear a verse. [01:03:15] Speaker B: Did I tell you about the time I booked that Elvis impersonator and he didn't know the lyrics? [01:03:20] Speaker A: No, but that's. He just mumbling up there. [01:03:26] Speaker B: He was taping. He was taping the lyrics. The floor of the stage and that's tough to read. You know, the curtains sort of overlapped. She was hiding them behind the curtain. Overlap. [01:03:36] Speaker C: That's. [01:03:36] Speaker B: I was like, how can you be an Elvis impersonator and not know the lyrics? [01:03:42] Speaker C: Any artist too. I mean, I'll bet that you could probably pick anybody off the street that's 40 years old or older and they probably know all the lyrics to more Elvis songs than they realize. And this guy's making a living at it and isn't one of the. One of the majority that probably knows at least like three or four songs could sing along every single word. [01:03:59] Speaker B: And that's the thing. You only had to sing three Jeffin songs. It's not like it was a jukebox. You know what I mean? [01:04:05] Speaker C: Sounds like he was surprised he got booked. He's like, I can't believe somebody booked me. I wasn't expecting this. [01:04:09] Speaker B: The next time I saw him, he was working in the freezer department at Jewel on Ashland. Really? Yeah. [01:04:15] Speaker A: Cuz we. [01:04:15] Speaker B: Me and Heather shopping. [01:04:17] Speaker C: Was he still wearing his Elvis cut up? [01:04:19] Speaker B: He still had the quiff and everything. It would have been funny if he walked. [01:04:22] Speaker A: Did you talk to him? You just blow past him? Yeah. I didn't really know how much you pay that guy. [01:04:27] Speaker B: I think he only got 20 bucks. [01:04:29] Speaker A: That's it? [01:04:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:04:31] Speaker C: Was he all shook up? [01:04:37] Speaker A: All right. Well, I never. I knew nothing of Megan Gailey. She looks like about eight different people I know though. She's like an amalgam of. [01:04:49] Speaker B: She's a paddy lass, isn't she? Let's be honest. [01:04:51] Speaker A: She's a. She's an Irish lass. [01:04:55] Speaker B: She talks about it. [01:04:56] Speaker A: She does. [01:04:56] Speaker B: She clearly looks like one. [01:04:58] Speaker A: I remember her talking. Oh yeah, I guess a little bit. Okay. So what do you think? Like, very intriguing how she's doing this in her home. I like this. Let me say this. My favorite thing of all of this is the idea of doing it in your home. Right. I like that. And I like her being pregnant. At first I thought she was getting married. When the thing came on, I was like, she's at a wedding dress. It looks like a fucking wedding. Right. Was that on purpose, the way the people were seated? [01:05:29] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:29] Speaker A: And her at the front. Right. It looked like a wedding. [01:05:32] Speaker B: Right. [01:05:32] Speaker A: I wonder if she knew that, if that Was intentional. But, yeah, it looked like a wedding dress. And I like that she's pregnant, and I like that her husband is up there in the window like Norman Bates. His mother with her kid. That's all kind of cool. Did you guys like that? The premise or whatever you want to call that? The setup, the thing? [01:05:53] Speaker C: No. [01:05:53] Speaker A: You didn't like that? Novelty. [01:05:54] Speaker B: I'm gonna crack this podcast wide open. [01:05:57] Speaker A: Oh, geez. [01:05:59] Speaker B: And say that I find heavily pregnant women attractive. Disturbing. Really. They make me nervous. Really? Fragility. I don't know what it is like, you having had 27 kids, have been around a pregnant woman. [01:06:18] Speaker A: Yes. [01:06:19] Speaker B: It's just. It's probably water off a dog's back to you. [01:06:22] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:06:22] Speaker B: But pregnant women freak me out. [01:06:27] Speaker A: It is very strange appearance, that ginormous belly. On the ride over here today, I drove past a woman who was. Had to be home. Not eight or nine months pregnant, just the. The bulbousness of that belly. So strange. [01:06:39] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:40] Speaker B: You know, and it's the fragile nature of it all. It just freaks me out. [01:06:45] Speaker A: Ironically, they're not that fragile at this stage of the pregnancy or at her stage. [01:06:49] Speaker C: That's what I would figure. They're probably, like, built like tanks at this point. [01:06:52] Speaker A: Yeah, it's a. The baby's basically full grown at this point, you know? [01:06:57] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:06:58] Speaker A: The fragility, the sensitivity of the pregnancy is really during the embryonic stage. [01:07:02] Speaker C: Yep. [01:07:03] Speaker A: Between the second and eighth week. Okay. [01:07:05] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, you can't even tell then, so it doesn't freak me out. [01:07:08] Speaker A: So they're not that fragile, but they do. Yeah. [01:07:12] Speaker B: When do they get hemorrhoids? [01:07:15] Speaker A: Definitely during this period. Yeah, she's definitely got hemorrhoids. [01:07:19] Speaker C: You know, I don't really even know what a hemorrhoid is. [01:07:21] Speaker A: What? [01:07:21] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't think. [01:07:22] Speaker A: Nor do you know how to spell it, because we tried that. [01:07:24] Speaker C: Right. I got close. I got real close. [01:07:26] Speaker B: Nerve ending falling out of your ass. [01:07:29] Speaker C: Why does it start to fall out of your arsehole? [01:07:32] Speaker A: Why are you looking at me? Yeah, well, I've had hemorrhoids. [01:07:36] Speaker C: Can you explain? [01:07:37] Speaker A: I don't know. It's like a swollen grape that's sticking out of your asshole. Oh, God. And it hurts like a bastard. And when they become too swollen, they will sometimes pop and bleed. [01:07:49] Speaker C: I've heard of this, too. [01:07:51] Speaker A: Into the toilet. And some women, or men anyway, will get a cluster of grapes. [01:07:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I've heard of those. [01:07:59] Speaker A: A bouquet of hemorrhoids. [01:08:01] Speaker C: God damn. What? [01:08:01] Speaker A: That. [01:08:02] Speaker C: That's a terrible way to live. Yeah, they're Very uncomfortable. Can you get them by sitting on concrete? [01:08:07] Speaker A: No, but how I got them as a child was I used to take food into the bathroom. I would make like, French fries or pizza or onion rings. And I would go in the bathroom and have a bowel movement and I'd bring the food in there. I'd rather read. It's spent a lot of time sitting on the toilet. Like, I'd be in there for like 45 minutes hovering over that water, taking the poop and eating and doing things. [01:08:28] Speaker C: That's so weird. [01:08:29] Speaker A: And by hovering over the water with that exposed anus. That created hemorrhoid. [01:08:36] Speaker C: My grandma always said, if you sit on concrete, you'll get piles. [01:08:39] Speaker A: Piles is another name for hemorrhoids. [01:08:41] Speaker C: Yeah, that's what I always assumed is piles was hemorrhoids. She's from Ireland, so she's got a million of those expressions. [01:08:45] Speaker A: If you sit on the concrete, you get a pile. [01:08:47] Speaker C: Yeah. She said, don't sit on the concrete too long. You get piles. [01:08:49] Speaker B: Johnny Giles has the piles. That's a cockney rhyming stuff. [01:08:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:08:54] Speaker B: About piles. My Johnny Giles. [01:08:57] Speaker C: Do you know about the cockney rhyming scheme? No. [01:09:00] Speaker B: Oh, Emma Freud's. [01:09:01] Speaker A: Emma Freud's. [01:09:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:09:03] Speaker C: Huh. Yep. [01:09:04] Speaker A: Mean, Anna Freud? [01:09:05] Speaker B: No, Emma Freud. [01:09:06] Speaker A: Who's Emma? [01:09:07] Speaker B: She was like a tv. [01:09:09] Speaker A: Oh. I don't know what we're talking about here, but. Oh, so you find them very fragile and alarming and disturbing. [01:09:18] Speaker B: I can't. If. If a heavily pregnant woman enters the room, I have to get out. [01:09:23] Speaker A: Have you ever made love to a heavily pregnant woman? [01:09:26] Speaker B: No. [01:09:26] Speaker A: How about you? [01:09:27] Speaker C: I have. [01:09:27] Speaker A: You have? I knew you would. I knew it. [01:09:30] Speaker B: Lying. Get. [01:09:31] Speaker C: No, I'm serious. [01:09:33] Speaker A: This guy. No, I believe it. [01:09:34] Speaker B: I mean, I know you have. [01:09:36] Speaker A: Oh, I have. They say. Then I want to get into your story. [01:09:42] Speaker C: There's not much of a story. [01:09:43] Speaker A: A single guy making love to a heavily pregnant woman. That's a good way to bring on labor is when they're in the latter stages of pregnancy to really get in there and dig it out in a sexual way. And that will trigger labor. [01:09:59] Speaker B: Did the baby ever grab hold of your belly? [01:10:03] Speaker A: No, but you think. You'd think. [01:10:05] Speaker B: Weren't you scared? Like, what if this baby grabs on. [01:10:09] Speaker A: I thought about it. [01:10:10] Speaker B: Yeah. Already has. Fingernails like little incisors. [01:10:13] Speaker A: Yeah, you do think about it. Yeah. All right, go ahead. Tell us when you made love to a heavily pregnant. [01:10:19] Speaker C: I'm not telling you the story. [01:10:20] Speaker A: Well, you brought it up. [01:10:21] Speaker C: No, I didn't. [01:10:22] Speaker A: You did. [01:10:24] Speaker C: No, that one that was saved that one for the archives. [01:10:27] Speaker A: I find a pregnant woman. I don't want to go into too much detail and. But I find a pregnant woman to be rather attractive. [01:10:38] Speaker B: That's probably why he was banging kids out like a production line. [01:10:41] Speaker A: My wife was. I shouldn't say all pregnant woman. My wife. I found her to be very attractive while pregnant. And we made love quite naturally. [01:10:50] Speaker B: Oh, God. [01:10:52] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:10:54] Speaker A: Okay. It's. It's a beautiful thing, pregnancy, and, well, [01:10:59] Speaker B: it freaks me out. [01:11:00] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay. Yeah, we were thinking, like, she could go into labor at this point. How. How far pregnant did she say she is? [01:11:08] Speaker C: Eight months. [01:11:09] Speaker A: She says she's eight. Kudos to her, this gal, for doing this show under such physical duress. Probably emotional duress as well, being so close to. [01:11:19] Speaker B: She was crying. I felt like she was crying several times during the scene. Ask her this. [01:11:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:11:25] Speaker B: Because she said when she started talking about la, you could see almost. [01:11:28] Speaker C: Yeah, I was. I was thinking the same thing. [01:11:30] Speaker B: A voice crack. [01:11:31] Speaker A: Maybe it was like the smog or dust in her eye. [01:11:33] Speaker B: I don't know. Maybe you was surprised they had to sort of do it on the cheap, though. I mean, Chelsea Handler is worth a few bob. Get the checkbook out. Chelsea. [01:11:44] Speaker A: She produces. Yeah, I don't see that. [01:11:47] Speaker B: Big letters the first thing at the beginning. Yeah. [01:11:51] Speaker A: Oh, I didn't see that. Maybe I queued it up, wasn't paying [01:11:54] Speaker B: attention or didn't watch it. [01:11:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I watched it. [01:11:57] Speaker B: Skimmed. [01:11:58] Speaker A: I never don't watch it. What about it being outside? You don't see too many outside. Yeah. [01:12:04] Speaker C: I thought that was just a pandemic thing. [01:12:06] Speaker A: This was last of distractions recently. [01:12:08] Speaker C: Right, Right. [01:12:10] Speaker A: She had this baby already. [01:12:11] Speaker B: Yeah. Just. [01:12:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Everything go well? [01:12:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:15] Speaker A: Yeah. Would they name it? [01:12:20] Speaker B: Can't remember. [01:12:21] Speaker A: You get him a birthing gift for this one. [01:12:22] Speaker B: No birthing gift for this. [01:12:24] Speaker A: Just the first one. [01:12:24] Speaker B: Yep. Pretty much a first one and out rule. [01:12:28] Speaker A: Shitty. It's second. Doesn't count for anything. [01:12:30] Speaker B: You don't want to encourage proliferation too much. Well, I'm like the Chinese government. One kid. Yes. [01:12:38] Speaker A: That's all. [01:12:39] Speaker B: The one. [01:12:39] Speaker A: That's all you support. [01:12:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:12:42] Speaker A: We got to eat some of this. This is the best thing I've ever had. Come on. [01:12:46] Speaker C: You don't want to. The sound of you chewing on the microphone know part of the show. [01:12:51] Speaker B: I need to finish this. [01:12:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Well, then talk about your. What you think this is your. This is your person? [01:12:59] Speaker B: Here's some random thoughts. Didn't like her slamming on motorcycle riders, obviously. [01:13:06] Speaker C: Yeah, that was. [01:13:06] Speaker A: That was a little saying that they're Unloved children. [01:13:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:13:11] Speaker A: I have a horrible tale to. I don't even want to say it. [01:13:15] Speaker B: Is she crying you talked about? Oh, I liked how it. It darkened. Like, it darkened rapidly. [01:13:24] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very cool. [01:13:27] Speaker B: Yeah. 90s basketball reference, CJ. I kind of take credit for that one. Kids are in a winner. There was one annoying laugh in the crowd. [01:13:39] Speaker C: There was two. [01:13:40] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. The woman starts. [01:13:42] Speaker C: Yeah. That was unbelievable. [01:13:44] Speaker A: I honestly almost. Almost couldn't even listen to what she was saying. [01:13:47] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:13:48] Speaker A: It was distracting myself for that woman and that one man. [01:13:52] Speaker C: That guy. Yeah. [01:13:53] Speaker A: We're like, how she could. She. She should have taken them out of them. Yeah. Out of this. It was like in post, taking their voices. Because it honestly took a lot away from me. [01:14:03] Speaker C: Yeah, it did. [01:14:04] Speaker A: It was. It was absurd. [01:14:05] Speaker C: It was. Yeah. And it was constant. [01:14:07] Speaker A: And do you think it was earnest laughter? [01:14:08] Speaker C: No, it was. It was those people. Those people that go to, like, their friends. Improv, you know? You know, and they sit in the front, they laugh so hard at nothing. And you're like, dude, you're not laughing at anything. You're not fooling anybody. [01:14:18] Speaker A: They're trying to help her out and [01:14:20] Speaker C: she didn't need help. It's not helping. It's not helpful. [01:14:24] Speaker A: Yeah. You don't need uproarious laughter to enjoy something. Go ahead. Sorry, we'll cut you off. [01:14:31] Speaker B: No, I'm just there for the ride. So do you feel like the environmental stuff helped or hurt it? The fight, fire engine and the motorcycle and the lights and the moon. [01:14:45] Speaker A: I again, I said at the top that I like the novelty of it in that background and being in her home and outside, that's different. I always like that kind of thing. But it did take away from it for me. Only because I'm constantly looking at the background. I'm not focused on what she's saying. There's too much going on in the background. If you were in a comedy club and a guy was on stage and there was no brick wall or curtain behind them, it was a window into the kitchen. Right. Of a place. Or. [01:15:13] Speaker C: Yeah. You'd be watching a bar and you'd [01:15:14] Speaker A: be like, what the fuck are they doing back? Who's that? What's. You know, like. Yeah, you. You don't want anything taken away from. [01:15:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:15:20] Speaker A: Like we talked about last week, how the focal point, it should narrow into the performer. In this case, it losing everything to the atmosphere, it diverges away, and you're just looking at the mountains and it [01:15:34] Speaker B: felt a bit like a gamble that didn't quite Pay off. But I know. [01:15:38] Speaker A: Yeah, well, it is a distraction. But I will say that like by the end, when you, when you tie it, when it's all tied together and you've got the kid in the window and the husband, then it does win me over as a whole package. Like I didn't enjoy the process of it as much as I. When it was over, I looked at the whole product and like, that was good. That was, that was good how they did that. Does that make sense? You know, like you appreciate it more when it's over for what it was than during. Because the laughter I couldn't take and then the distractions I couldn't take. But then when you see like what she did and you package it all together, it's. It's really cool. I think. What, what she did. [01:16:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I think it was a, it was a bold gamble. I'm sure the director and the lighting and whatever crew hated it. They're like, you know, this is not a controlled environment. Cuz when you're filming you you need a highly controlled environment. Right. And this was not it. But I mean, you know, what if [01:16:39] Speaker C: like some birds showed up? They did caused. No what if. And caused a ruckus. Yeah. [01:16:45] Speaker A: I don't know, maybe some. [01:16:47] Speaker C: You're out there in the wild bird. [01:16:49] Speaker A: What do you mean bird? [01:16:50] Speaker C: Birds. [01:16:50] Speaker A: FL is going to land in like [01:16:53] Speaker C: eat the cheese or the anthrax. [01:16:57] Speaker A: But I do want to talk about how, you know, like you saw the first two rows. Like they tried to do a little camera trick there by making it look like it was a deep audience. Those first two rows were the only rows. Or maybe three, maybe four. [01:17:11] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [01:17:13] Speaker A: Like you can really manipulate the camera to make it look like you've got a full audience, but there's really only like eight people there. I think we've seen that in other specials too. Like very small venues where the camera is manipulated to make it look like you're in a bigger space than maybe they are or more people there than are there. [01:17:31] Speaker B: I thought There were about four rows of 10, maybe 40 people if I had a head count. [01:17:41] Speaker A: Okay. I didn't see four rows. How about you settle this bet? [01:17:44] Speaker C: Yeah. I wasn't paying attention to the rose. [01:17:46] Speaker A: I'm going to blow my nose so I can. [01:17:48] Speaker C: Are you going to do it on the microphone? [01:17:50] Speaker A: Yep. [01:17:51] Speaker C: Wonderful. They don't even need the sound effect. [01:17:54] Speaker A: Bored. [01:18:03] Speaker B: Should I cut this out? [01:18:06] Speaker C: Is a minute. [01:18:12] Speaker B: Great now even the sound effect. [01:18:15] Speaker C: Now even this one's not working. Minute 17 is when he blows his nose. I mean, leave it in. [01:18:21] Speaker A: Leave it in. It's real stuff. One thing I didn't understand about her, I'm trying to understand her act. She's painting herself as being. Help me understand this. A favorite of the. Of the Maga movement. But then she's trying to claim she's not, like. What is she trying to say? That she appears to be, like, the poster girl for Maga. [01:18:46] Speaker B: But. [01:18:46] Speaker A: Yeah, in truth, she's very liberal. [01:18:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:18:49] Speaker A: She's trying to, like, discourage that attitude about herself. Right. Or opinion of her. I don't get that. What is she trying to say? She seems Maga because she's white and pregnant. I don't. [01:19:01] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:19:01] Speaker A: What? [01:19:03] Speaker B: Yeah, you summed it up. [01:19:05] Speaker A: Why is she Maga? Because she's white. [01:19:08] Speaker B: Yeah. No, pasty white. So people look at her and go, oh, she must be Maga. [01:19:13] Speaker A: So people look at us as Maga because we're white? [01:19:16] Speaker C: Yep. [01:19:16] Speaker B: Yeah. Black people might. [01:19:18] Speaker A: Yeah. I don't know. [01:19:21] Speaker B: I mean, I don't. [01:19:22] Speaker A: That was a specious argument. You know what specious means? Weak. [01:19:27] Speaker B: But I think she was saying that people look her as MAGA because doesn't the ma Isn't the Maga ethos. Women should just be baby machines. So that was the bit. No, it's like. I feel like. Yeah, that's. [01:19:41] Speaker A: I guess, kind of like they're anti abortion. [01:19:44] Speaker B: No, no, no. I thought one of the. You know, a lot of them say, oh, women should be in the house and they should be raising kids and. Am I deluded? [01:19:54] Speaker A: It. [01:19:54] Speaker B: No, they say that. [01:19:56] Speaker A: I don't know. Anyway, you know what I realized, though? Like, when I'm looking at. You're so far away. I got these glasses on. Right. These are reader glasses. So, like, when I look at you, your eyes are, like, real blurry to me. So I keep thinking you're looking at me with baleful eyes. [01:20:09] Speaker C: Oh. [01:20:10] Speaker A: Like you're, like, angrily looking at me. But it's only because I can't really see you. Yeah. You're kind of annoying. I don't know. [01:20:21] Speaker C: That was the point she was making, I think, though. Is that. Yeah. Mega. I guess. I don't know. But then. Then you're just kind of painting with a broad stroke about a whole bunch of people. [01:20:30] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. Come on. [01:20:34] Speaker C: But that could be something that some mega people would be known to say. [01:20:38] Speaker A: Can you do an impression of her? Like how she talks? She talks very distinctly in a. Yeah. [01:20:43] Speaker B: That her speech pattern wasn't. [01:20:45] Speaker A: She wasn't always like that. [01:20:46] Speaker B: No, it Was slowed and dis. [01:20:50] Speaker A: My marriage is kind of like a buzzer beater. [01:20:57] Speaker B: Yeah. She was talking slower and not in what I would call a Megan style. [01:21:02] Speaker A: Okay. I'm not familiar with her style to know, but. [01:21:05] Speaker B: No, I didn't note that. [01:21:07] Speaker A: You did note it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I thought it was. Yeah. I don't know. Different that way. [01:21:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:21:14] Speaker A: Buzzer beater. [01:21:16] Speaker B: Mm. Yeah. Almost valley girlish. [01:21:21] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. And I wrote down, too, her humor. How would you describe her humor? If you describe her humor in one word? [01:21:30] Speaker B: Pithy. [01:21:30] Speaker A: Pithy. [01:21:32] Speaker B: Okay. [01:21:32] Speaker A: He says pithy. [01:21:33] Speaker C: What do you say over there in one word? I was gonna use more than one word. [01:21:37] Speaker A: She's not tolev. Filthy. [01:21:40] Speaker C: No, she's like a. A funny person you meet at a bar that has opinions and has well thought out arguments for those opinions. Has clearly, like, done this bit before, but is not up there on stage as a professional. Not to say that she wasn't a professional, but that's what it makes me think of. [01:22:01] Speaker A: The word I wrote down is brash. [01:22:03] Speaker C: Brash is a good one. [01:22:04] Speaker A: Is it? [01:22:04] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:22:05] Speaker A: Describe her brash humor. [01:22:07] Speaker B: I thought she might be too mean for you. You don't like the meanies. [01:22:11] Speaker A: How is she mean? I'm not saying she's not, but how did you see her as mean? Like, she punching down. I don't like punch downers. [01:22:19] Speaker B: I won't say she's punching down, but she's. She's going after people. [01:22:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I did, and that's why I wrote brash. And I didn't see her as mean, but I don't. My tastes don't, like, don't go towards a brash woman. In some ways, she reminded me in the way she kind of, you know, [01:22:46] Speaker B: that was the longest. [01:22:47] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm allowed it. I have to be. You know, the way she treats her husband. Right. That's kind of like how my wife treats me, like, you know, like, because I'm afraid of my wife, you know, like, she says her husband's afraid of her, you know, like, so that in that way, I kind of don't like that. You know, I don't like a brash woman that's putting a man in his place, you know, So I didn't like that too close to home. My wife kind of, like, really, like, controls me, you know, like. Like, it seems like she does. C.J. tolenado. [01:23:24] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I mean, if you knew the two people, you bosses him around, I would say I know who's pulling the. Pulling the strings there. [01:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. I don't like that dynamic in my relationship, except for the sexual part of it. [01:23:39] Speaker B: You know, like I do Black in the Weeds. [01:23:42] Speaker A: I do like that. Like, not to say she's in charge sexually. She's not. Say whatever. But I do. [01:23:52] Speaker B: Are we looking at a series of battles? [01:23:56] Speaker A: Huh? [01:23:57] Speaker B: Situation here? [01:23:59] Speaker A: What do you mean? [01:24:02] Speaker B: Have you ever been pinned against the wall with a gun up your ass? [01:24:05] Speaker A: Oh, what? No. But. No, no, there's none of that. [01:24:09] Speaker B: Sorry. That's a spoiler. If anyone has seen. Hasn't seen a constant series of battles, ignore what I just. [01:24:16] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [01:24:16] Speaker A: I don't even know what you're talking. [01:24:17] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. I had no clue. [01:24:20] Speaker A: You mean the movie One battle after another. [01:24:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:23] Speaker A: Constant series of battles. Is that what you call it, though? You're talking about some other kind of show? The movie one battle after another. [01:24:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:24:29] Speaker A: You just referred to that movie as a constant series of battles. [01:24:33] Speaker B: It gets messed. It's the same thing. I'm paral. [01:24:38] Speaker A: Good God. I don't remember that part. [01:24:39] Speaker C: I've seen that movie. I don't remember. [01:24:41] Speaker A: I can never remember. [01:24:42] Speaker C: That movie was just too long. That movie was once. One scene after another. [01:24:46] Speaker A: She put a. A gun up his. Sean Penn's bum. [01:24:50] Speaker B: Yeah. You know when she breaks into the camp. [01:24:52] Speaker A: Yeah. She didn't put up his bum. [01:24:55] Speaker B: She did. She flips him against the wall. [01:24:57] Speaker A: Oh, It's a gun up his bum. [01:24:58] Speaker B: And buggers him with a pistol. [01:25:00] Speaker A: It's a pistol. [01:25:02] Speaker B: It's like the pivotal scene of that film. [01:25:05] Speaker A: I don't know. [01:25:06] Speaker C: I think I was already checked out at that point. [01:25:07] Speaker A: You didn't care for. [01:25:08] Speaker C: So it's just so long. Every movie's so long now. [01:25:12] Speaker B: It was long, but that's just kept me going. [01:25:14] Speaker C: I have a conspiracy theory that they're in cahoots with the airlines and they're getting us used to sitting in chairs for a long time so we won't complain. [01:25:21] Speaker A: Oh, movies are. [01:25:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:25:23] Speaker A: Or in cahoots with airlines to get us more comfortable on an airplane. [01:25:27] Speaker C: Yeah. So we'll just sit there. [01:25:28] Speaker A: Get the point of that. Make us want to fly more and. Okay. [01:25:33] Speaker C: No. So that when they're delayed, we just sit there in the tarmac for an hour and a half. [01:25:37] Speaker A: So we're used to it. [01:25:38] Speaker C: People are used to it. They're like, yeah, I've sat through shitty movies this long. I can sit here this long. [01:25:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:25:44] Speaker B: What I don't understand with movies is, you know, in the old studio system where they would build all the different lots. Yeah. Be like, here's the Western. Here's the ancient Rome and blah, blah. They would just repeatedly use them. [01:25:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:25:57] Speaker B: Paramount, they don't seem to do that anymore. And yet these things. [01:26:01] Speaker A: How do you know? You spend a lot of time on movie lots. [01:26:03] Speaker B: No, you see how much they call. We had to recreate this and we had to do. [01:26:06] Speaker A: It's all on location, isn't it now? But they build on it. [01:26:10] Speaker C: It's done digitally. [01:26:12] Speaker B: I mean, that's why LA became the center, because you had. Yeah, this and that and the other. [01:26:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:26:20] Speaker B: I just think they're missing an opportunity to save a lot of money. [01:26:23] Speaker A: Speaking of, you know, set building and whatnot, how about in the special, the stage? Did you know it was a very geary like stage that she was standing [01:26:33] Speaker B: on square with footlights? [01:26:34] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Foot lights. [01:26:36] Speaker B: Yeah, there were foot lights all around the. [01:26:38] Speaker A: Oh, footlight around the edge. [01:26:39] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:26:40] Speaker A: Well, that wasn't very gear us. But it looked like one of your stages. [01:26:43] Speaker B: Yeah, possibly. [01:26:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:26:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:26:44] Speaker A: Did you look at the craftsmanship? Did you look at. They used their 2x4. [01:26:49] Speaker B: I did look at foot lights and stuff, but I didn't get a good gander at what they had. [01:26:54] Speaker A: How about foot lights out here? Thinking about doing that. Someone step on them. [01:26:57] Speaker B: We talked about that. Right? No, not foot lights, but backlash. [01:27:01] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:27:01] Speaker A: Backsplash. [01:27:02] Speaker C: Yeah. Similar to whatever that special was that we were talking about. [01:27:06] Speaker B: I've always liked that. [01:27:07] Speaker A: Ari Schaefer, candles. [01:27:09] Speaker B: No, no, no. Where you have a light going up the curtain at the back of the performer. I've always liked that. I saw when we did the. When I did the Eric Bogosian show at the Vic Theater. Not to name drop. He asked for specific lighting. [01:27:24] Speaker A: What do you mean you did the show? You did the lighting for the Bogosian show? [01:27:28] Speaker B: I didn't do the lighting. I just sort of produced it. [01:27:30] Speaker A: You did? Yeah. How'd you get into that? [01:27:32] Speaker B: It was part of the festival. [01:27:34] Speaker A: Boghossian. [01:27:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:27:35] Speaker A: He's no comic. [01:27:36] Speaker B: Well, you know, spoken word. [01:27:38] Speaker A: Whatever he blows. [01:27:40] Speaker C: I do that with our piano show when we do it here. I've got a light behind us that shoots up the curtain. Yeah, right in the center. [01:27:47] Speaker A: Need something like that. Yeah, Maybe bring in Begain. And look at that, his back. You know, back of the stage type. [01:27:53] Speaker B: I don't need a backsplash for this [01:27:54] Speaker A: st. No, not a backsplash, but some backlighting, you know, some. [01:27:58] Speaker C: Maybe a backsplash too. Maybe could help with some of the shows. [01:28:01] Speaker A: It wouldn't be a backsplash. [01:28:05] Speaker B: Well, we've banned most comedians Bringing spaghetti sauce on the stage at this point. [01:28:10] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:28:10] Speaker A: Some of you had spaghetti sauce. Splash it around. [01:28:15] Speaker B: Bo. He's. Someone's doing a heading because they're just. She's like. She hates performance artist people, right? [01:28:22] Speaker A: Borky does. That's. Yeah. She seems performance art. [01:28:26] Speaker C: One. One time, like two years ago, somebody smashed their keyboard on stage and a piece of the keyboard flew off and hit her laptop and broke her laptop. She had to buy a new one. [01:28:33] Speaker A: So. Wow. Broke two things at once. [01:28:35] Speaker C: Yeah. Two things at once. [01:28:36] Speaker A: Well, that's understandable. She's not against performance art necessarily. [01:28:39] Speaker C: She's just against, I would say, performance art. [01:28:42] Speaker B: Yeah. Not in my house. [01:28:43] Speaker A: Not my house. All right, well, have we said everything there needs to be said about this? [01:28:49] Speaker B: I think so, yeah. [01:28:51] Speaker A: Megan Gailey live from my driveway. 2025-656-2025. Available on YouTube for free. Mark Noser and the husband, Very Tony with the two of them. Seems like he had a ulterior motive in choosing it, but nonetheless. What do we rate them? [01:29:15] Speaker B: I was just trying to get the women quotient. [01:29:18] Speaker A: All right, I think we've covered that. I think we've had. I want to see the figures on that. I think we have more women. How about she chooses. Oh, yeah. Trimester. First trimester is not good. Second trimester is mediocre, and third trimester is. It's the. It's great. Very good to great. And then if it's even better than that, you say post mature. [01:29:45] Speaker B: Third trimester is hemorrhoids and teeth falling out. [01:29:48] Speaker A: Okay. [01:29:49] Speaker B: All right. That's Neil. Oh, we're doing Neil Hamburger this week. [01:29:59] Speaker A: Oh, my God. This is. [01:30:02] Speaker C: What a treat for the listener. [01:30:06] Speaker A: Hope I don't have Hanta. [01:30:07] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:30:08] Speaker A: Who wants to start? Mark will go last because it's his program. Cristiano, you want to. Yeah, I'll do first trimester, second trimester, or third. [01:30:18] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm gonna go straight, Like, one and a half trimesters. I think it was, like, perfectly average. So what is that, like four and a half months? [01:30:32] Speaker A: Four and a half months? [01:30:33] Speaker C: Yep. I'm going four and a half months. Going just past the embryonic stage. [01:30:39] Speaker A: So it's a viable pregnancy. [01:30:40] Speaker C: But yeah, 1.5 trimesters. [01:30:42] Speaker A: It's going to be born premature. [01:30:44] Speaker C: Oh, is it? That's sad. [01:30:46] Speaker A: Well, prematures, you can overcome that. [01:30:49] Speaker C: Okay, well, good. I've got a lot of hope for this. [01:30:51] Speaker A: It's not like no fake baby. No. You know, thalidomide or anything. [01:30:58] Speaker C: Is that a rock? [01:30:58] Speaker A: Thalidomide? Yeah. No, It's a deformity. [01:31:01] Speaker B: Children of Thalidomide, Billy Joel. [01:31:04] Speaker A: And speaking of which, I saw Elephant man this week at the Music Box. What a film. [01:31:08] Speaker C: Is it. Is it good? [01:31:09] Speaker A: Amazing. [01:31:10] Speaker B: You never seen it? [01:31:11] Speaker A: I saw it when I was a kid, but I didn't really keep eyes on it because. [01:31:14] Speaker C: Speaking of which. [01:31:15] Speaker B: Sorry. When I was a kid. Hey, kids, let's go watch the Victorian. The agonizing life of a Victorian. [01:31:23] Speaker C: Did you watch this for the Freak? Did you watch the YouTube video that I sent you guys of the Seinfeld movie references? No. Elephant Man's in that one. [01:31:30] Speaker A: Is it? I gotta go back and watch. [01:31:32] Speaker C: He references it in the. The episode in which he is, quote, unquote, caught picking his nose in the car. [01:31:38] Speaker A: The Elephant Man? [01:31:39] Speaker C: No, Jerry. Oh, big nose to pick if it was the Elephant Man. Okay, well, try not to pick that nose. [01:31:48] Speaker A: Christian has spoken and I will speak next. I'm going to second trimester this one, right? I wouldn't say as harshly as Christian. Perfectly average, I think, as far as specials go. And remember that we're doing this every week to analyze these specials. [01:32:13] Speaker B: I love the. [01:32:14] Speaker A: The nature of this special, right? It being in the home and outside and her being pregnant. I love all that. It's all groundbreaking to me and done well. I think they didn't need to go to the window to see your friend up in the window as many times as they did. He's just looking at him like, could he hear, do you think, up there? Yeah, he could hear. Yeah. [01:32:34] Speaker C: Because at one point she said, put the earmuffs over the kid. [01:32:36] Speaker A: I know, but I mean, you think that was just a joke? I don't know if they could actually here. I like that, you know, because I do an outdoor comedy show every summer. You're invited. July 10th, 11th and 12th, my annual film festival. [01:32:50] Speaker B: What's the films this year? [01:32:53] Speaker A: Death Wish to Sudden impact and Rambo 2. [01:33:03] Speaker B: And you're allowed to show these on a public thoroughfare? [01:33:06] Speaker A: Sure. A lot of raping and violence. [01:33:08] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:33:09] Speaker A: The theme this year is violence. Films of violence. [01:33:16] Speaker B: Hey, Marsha, let's take the kids out for a walk around Roscoe village. It's a lovely summer night. Let's bring little Bobby and Peggy sue with us. [01:33:27] Speaker A: Yeah. Go for a walk. Oh, what are they doing here? Looks like they're showing Death Wish 2. That woman was just thrown out of a window, landed on a spiked fence. Sorry, he saw that. Sorry, my child just saw that. [01:33:41] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:33:43] Speaker A: First year, we showed Casualties of War, the scene where the army troop Takes prisoner. That Lootian woman. They rape her multiple times. Children in the neighborhood scarred for life from seeing that. [01:33:57] Speaker B: You should do a Sam Peckinpah marathon Man. Yeah. You. No Straw dogs. Is straw dogs deeply disturbing? [01:34:05] Speaker A: Okay. All right. Yeah, maybe that. Okay. All right. So I'm giving it second trimester mark. Your pick, your friends. [01:34:13] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm going second trimester as well. It wasn't Megan's best work, but to be honest, I. Pregnant women freak me out, and I have no interest in the childbirth or child rearing process. It was always going to be hard for me to. [01:34:30] Speaker A: Yeah. So you're saying her act shines brighter and in has shine brighter. [01:34:35] Speaker B: I knew her when she was a party gal. [01:34:38] Speaker A: Yeah. And that she was too constrained here. She was playing it differently. [01:34:45] Speaker B: She was on theme. [01:34:46] Speaker A: She's on theme. [01:34:47] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:34:47] Speaker A: Of what? There was no theme. [01:34:49] Speaker B: Yeah, there was. [01:34:52] Speaker C: Yeah. I would say the whole thing was about her being pregnant. [01:34:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:34:55] Speaker C: No, it wasn't. [01:34:55] Speaker A: It was about maga. It was about Charles Barkley for president. [01:34:59] Speaker C: All roads. All roads led back to pregnancy. [01:35:01] Speaker A: Yeah. A lot of it was. I did like when she said, my sexuality is. Anyone can finger me. That's brilliant line, right? [01:35:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:35:09] Speaker A: Well done. Well done. Megan. Megan Gailey. I kept wanting to say Megan Bentley. [01:35:14] Speaker B: My favorite sassy comment was about, if I was an NFL wife, I'd be running a foundation. [01:35:20] Speaker A: Yeah, that was good. [01:35:22] Speaker B: The humor is smart. [01:35:23] Speaker A: The humor is smart. It's smart and pithy. Pithy. [01:35:28] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:35:28] Speaker A: And I do like that. But, yeah, I like how she treats her husband. All right, so we got. Hopefully that doesn't run afoul your relationship with these people. You give it a lukewarm review. [01:35:41] Speaker B: No, I'm giving it. I'm giving it. Good. But it's not her best work. [01:35:45] Speaker A: So if we have her on next week. [01:35:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:35:47] Speaker A: You'll say these same things. [01:35:49] Speaker B: And Megan is someone who doesn't take any golfers. You will see. So it's. [01:35:53] Speaker A: Yeah, let's get her in here. Is she familiar with my act? She around at the time? I was. No, no. [01:36:01] Speaker B: Like I say, she interned for C.J. and flannel. [01:36:04] Speaker A: Well, I got to talk to those guys about this. [01:36:06] Speaker B: Yeah. There's a familiarity. She's adjacent to you. Yeah. [01:36:12] Speaker A: Jason, she might be familiar with my act. All right, next week we're going to see a great comedian or comedian. Either way, they're a comedian. They're not a comedian. Because Christian is up and he is chosen for us. Who is it you chose again? [01:36:27] Speaker C: I've chosen Zarna Garg. Practical people win. [01:36:31] Speaker A: Come again? [01:36:32] Speaker C: Zarna Garg. Practical people win. [01:36:35] Speaker A: Zarna Garg. Is that a man or a woman? [01:36:37] Speaker C: It's a woman. Z, A, R, N, A.
