But first of all, how was your

Speaker 1 David, believe it or not, everybody?

Speaker 1 Just got off the road. and came directly to the studio as far as I can tell.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that's right. I just got here from Seattle, had a great time seattle is a beautiful

Speaker 1 really you know especially when you fly over when if it rains anywhere a lot it makes it look nice i would say seattle and or vancouver on a sunny day is kind of the best city in the world wow unfortunately they have three or four days a year of absolute sun I was about to say strong words from a weak man.

Speaker 2 But

Speaker 1 hey, them fighting words.

Speaker 2 You weren't on a live stream you're actually pretty tough uh i don't have my glowing back hair which a lot of people are going to complain about on

Speaker 1 youtube people can't read the little thing they can't see superman they like to see my fluffy mullet glowing let me ask you a question when you were in seattle the mullet looks great uh the sidewalls the whole thing uh did you go on the space needle i did not um they turned that into a covet shot did you hear no I'm kidding.

Speaker 1 Just for Cyclops in case you

Speaker 1 got Zillow.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 I did get there. It was kind of a pretty day.
We got one of them. And then I did a corporate.
Now, of course, everyone loves to hear what's your corporate gig about?

Speaker 2 It was four hotels. And funnily enough, I stayed in a hotel.
So it all fit. All the pieces fit.
But here's the one thing, Dana.

Speaker 1 So you had 10 minutes of upfront riff.

Speaker 2 I saw a guy there that I went to high school with. He worked for the company and he says, this is an awkward position to be in because everyone was nice.
The gig was great.

Speaker 2 But he says, oh, the CEO and his wife are great people. They know this girl, Jenny, used to

Speaker 2 crowd, what is the couch surf, always crashed at her house while you were starting out.

Speaker 1 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 2 Does not ring a bell. And I said, oh,

Speaker 2 like I stayed at her. Okay.

Speaker 2 And then I couldn't remember i guess i'm old i don't know i usually remember things well were you there the comedy underground was that still around in arizona no sorry i was in seattle still sorry no okay no he's he's from arizona yeah oh he okay got it so he's saying back then when i started i'm like oh okay he doesn't ring a bell then i so i'm already i don't want to make him feel weird but i'm like i don't know so then i go in and i do the meet and greet and the last picture is

Speaker 2 this couple that's obviously the ceo and his lovely lovely wife. And she said, oh, by the way, we know Jenny.
And I'm like, oh, my God.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 I just went with it. I don't know.

Speaker 1 You can't. I do that all the time.
You probably don't

Speaker 1 remember me. I'm Steve.

Speaker 1 Are you kidding, Steve?

Speaker 2 Because it's just better because they're so nice.

Speaker 2 And I just couldn't rack my brain. I didn't have time to go, wait, walk me through it again.
So I was just like, she is such a character. She was the biggest whore.

Speaker 2 No, I I didn't know what to say you know she start running the wrong way with it they're like what no that's not no she's great

Speaker 1 so I just said oh yeah she was such a handful I think I said something very generic I know well remember remember when we were interviewing Paul Cartney name drop and I brought up meeting him at Lawrence and he made a funny face and he said oh right I don't know what to say about that you know it was 40 years later and it was such a big moment for me but how many times does he have fawning people?

Speaker 2 I know. Dane was like, it was such, it was the first 40 pages of my diary.
And he's like,

Speaker 1 Lauren,

Speaker 1 Michaels,

Speaker 1 Long Island.

Speaker 1 I know, but the guy

Speaker 2 everyone shits their pants and they meet Paul. Of course.

Speaker 1 They don't forget it, but then he meets a million people, you know. Right.
But the same thing, you were just David Spade in a comedy club, probably, no offense, not that good yet.

Speaker 1 Looked about 13 easy

Speaker 1 and to them then you became

Speaker 1 iconic or super famous it's a little strong yeah well let's talk about your high school who in your high school is famous

Speaker 2 you know sandra bernhart went to my high school

Speaker 2 you know sandra bernhart right yeah yeah and uh

Speaker 2 all the presidents went to my high school

Speaker 2 uh no actually sandra bernhart went and that was a big deal because picture comedy

Speaker 2 and I have to say,

Speaker 2 and this is what you say about meeting people. I was out in L.A.
on Southwest, my second year of stand-up going back and forth. I see her at the luggage rack, you know, in this turnstile.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 2 I walk up, and she's a pretty big deal. I was hanging out with Madonna at the time.
She wasn't with her there at the fucking Southwest luggage rack.

Speaker 2 But I said, hey, Sandra.

Speaker 2 My name, Dave Bay. And I went to Saguaro High School, and so did you.
And I'm out here doing stand-up, thinking she's going to what, do cartwheels? She goes like this, oh, okay.

Speaker 2 And then she's looking for a bag, and I go, Yeah, cool, cool, cool, cool. So

Speaker 2 I'm going to fucking get out of your grill. And then she just gave me nothing.
And I was like, it really kind of stung a little bit, even though it just happened. She didn't do nothing wrong.

Speaker 1 I just, you know, I once

Speaker 1 had a head cold. I flew to a gig in Florida, way back to to San Francisco.
My ear was out of control. Like years late, I punctured it.

Speaker 1 Like years later, I went to an ear guy and he goes, Hey, what happened over here? The cartilage was all decimated. So I was still in massive pain at

Speaker 1 the luggage clay. And that guy goes,

Speaker 1 I mean, I was like, I'm sorry. I'm in a lot of pain.

Speaker 2 I know what you said. I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 So that, Sandra Bernhardt, that was in her book. Heist.

Speaker 1 And she had extreme diarrhea when she met you and needed to get out of there.

Speaker 2 She said I'd had diarrhea from

Speaker 2 1989 to 93. So I was tough on people.
But no, she was fine. I might have even met her after that.
I don't know. But I think when I met Madonna, I go, I met your friend.
Did not go well.

Speaker 1 Can I tell you my Madonna story? Please.

Speaker 1 Well, she was in the Waynes World film and she was around a little bit.

Speaker 2 She was at Waynesworld on SNL when you did Wayne's World, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, we did a short film, and you know, and so she was cool, but I just stepped in it without knowing. She came over to our table at the party, and

Speaker 1 I think I said something really stupid because she was so fit.

Speaker 1 You know, I said, The thing I admire about you, and I shouldn't have said admire about you most, I might have accidentally said that, is you know, how fit you are.

Speaker 1 And I can see later how she took offense to it.

Speaker 1 And she basically kind of said,

Speaker 1 you know like uh the thing you admire about me is how fit i am you know like i'm a artist you know what i mean so she said come on kind of like you or something like that

Speaker 1 let me finish the story so i did chris farley's thing which i'd seen him do because i just was triggered so i go madonna can you hear this let me turn it up for you yeah crank it so then she left

Speaker 1 and about half hour later she came back and sat on my lap not in a seductive way but in like a puppy dog-friendly way. You flipped her off for real? Yeah, I went, Madonna.

Speaker 1 Here, well, I was, this was 92 or 3. I'd had Williams World.
I got six Emmy nominations, so I wasn't taking it.

Speaker 2 I can flip off Madonna.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I made a mistake. I apologize to her if she's listening on this podcast.
It was a really

Speaker 2 one.

Speaker 2 I have to say,

Speaker 2 I could see her saying that and being, but she is feisty, and I do think she has a sense of humor.

Speaker 1 She's feisty, and I think the fact that I did that, she really respected it.

Speaker 1 yeah i like that you around but i would say and i'm not saying it now because she's probably watching or listening is that always when i look at lady gaga all these people

Speaker 1 all these giant katy perry whatever madonna

Speaker 1 lit the match i mean they take a page out of her playbook for sure yeah and they almost do her songs and the whole big production and dancing and their you know gay following everything they copied madonna i would get nervous around madonna i saw madonna at snl once i saw her somewhere else i've seen her out i get nervous.

Speaker 2 So she's a big star. Now, I will say I have met women and done that move where I go, oh, I haven't seen anyone.
You look so sturdy.

Speaker 1 They're like. Sturdy.

Speaker 2 Oh, like a heifer cow. Let me tell you something that are not compliments to women.
Sturdy, you look

Speaker 1 strong.

Speaker 2 You look healthy. Healthy is the worst thing you could say to anyone.

Speaker 2 And are you bulking up for something?

Speaker 1 Right. I think the extra weight looks good on you.

Speaker 1 That's not a, that's not a, what I always say is, um, birth and hips.

Speaker 1 What's your most friendly, heartfelt, maybe slightly kiss-assy thing to say to a woman you haven't seen in a while or anybody, really?

Speaker 1 You look fantastic.

Speaker 2 I mean, it's funny that it always goes to looks, unfortunately, but it is sort of like a nervous thing to just say, you look great or you look. Uh,

Speaker 2 someone told me the other day I looked very well-rested. I told you that, Heather, remember? You look very no, they said actually the word refreshed, which I don't hear a lot.

Speaker 1 You don't hear that word. I think it's people need

Speaker 1 it's not

Speaker 1 negative to just say a nice thing to someone, you know, because we're all aging and then you haven't seen someone in 20 years. You want to hear, hey, what, where's Dorian Gray?

Speaker 1 Or, you know, it's just playful.

Speaker 2 It's playful stuff.

Speaker 2 What do you want to get into before I get into?

Speaker 1 I don't really know what you get into. You know, we have a tape delay for our show, but right now, as we are recording this, there's been a peace deal between Israel and Gaza.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I just thought, first of all, I went on the New York Times and they had a big thing of Kushner, the brother-in-law, solves the Middle East problem, you know, because I don't blame him.

Speaker 1 Because Trump is a showboater, I mean, and they don't want to give him anything. So Obama came out with a statement.
I want to congratulate the peace deal,

Speaker 1 the Middle East, and the whole, the whole, the whole team and, you know,

Speaker 1 Mr. Kushner and

Speaker 1 Mr. Trump.
What?

Speaker 1 No, I think I want to show my appreciation. Everyone should be glad for the peace deal for the people who did it.
Kushner and

Speaker 1 who?

Speaker 2 And the guy's name escapes me.

Speaker 1 It's kind of like it when in Hitler in Germany in the 30s, there must have been people who hated him, you know. And now I just want to thank Klaus Versa and Wilhelm Fasser for completing the Autobahn.

Speaker 1 It's fantastic. And of course, I also would like to thank

Speaker 1 Ada Silo.

Speaker 2 What? No, they don't even tell him that.

Speaker 1 They mumble the name. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So here's Trump if this holds through this podcast. Because, you know, he gives speeches.

Speaker 2 I love if it lasts for three days.

Speaker 1 how much will he because he's gonna toot his own horn oh my gosh i love the thing that he does

Speaker 1 he makes a statement in the teleprompter and then he tags it with real softness you know i brought peace to the middle east i brought peace i brought peace to the middle east and people like peace

Speaker 1 i solved eight wars eight wars there was seven then there was eight and i solved

Speaker 1 seven and eight i'm gonna rebuild gaza i'm gonna rebuild it i know how to build it people like rebuilding they like it, man.

Speaker 1 He's kind of docile. He's like a little teddy bear in between.
But he will be out there. I hope it holds.
By the time we air this, it is a great thing.

Speaker 2 He doesn't like pauses. You're right.
He hits that prompter and then he has to fill. There's fill.

Speaker 1 He likes to tag it. I did a lot of great things.
Things I did that were great and people love them. People like it.
A lot of people share it. I tell you, I hate my enemies.
I can't help it.

Speaker 1 You know, there's this.

Speaker 1 I hate bad people. I know.
I hate bad people.

Speaker 1 I do a other things.

Speaker 2 That's for me. I'll tell you on a lighter note.

Speaker 1 That's for Patrick.

Speaker 2 The Charlie Sheen being on the show was a huge hit because the clip I showed of Emilio popping in

Speaker 2 really brought back some nostalgia. And Heather, we have to find Emilio on Instagram.
We should invite him on.

Speaker 1 If he would come on, that'd be awesome.

Speaker 2 Because he was.

Speaker 2 I mean, we've probably got 3 million people watching that. Just that clip of the reel of him popping in, and you were talking about all the movies they've done.
And

Speaker 2 everyone's like, oh, my God, to see those guys together. And he looks like Martin Sheen exactly.
And people have a lot of good vibes for the two of them together. And

Speaker 2 Charlie got a lot of good, like, comeback story,

Speaker 2 nice, you know.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a feel-good podcast. I'd seen all the other podcasts.
So I also, I thought about him and what he achieved. And let's slow down for a second, you know, his slow as an artiste.

Speaker 1 And then I always think of the brother. I've got a brother, and I think of Emilio as a film producer and director now and stuff.

Speaker 1 And then looking at his first five, six years out of the gate and all those iconic movies. So to see him show up, I wish we, it's too bad to say.

Speaker 2 Caught off guard, yes. And Working Man, they mentioned Young Guns, and we didn't even talk about those.
Those are

Speaker 1 all mighty ducks.

Speaker 2 Yeah, well, that's a more Emilio side. So, but we could always open it up.

Speaker 1 But it was so sweet

Speaker 1 that knowing Charlie's story and

Speaker 1 the stuff he had in his life. And then there he is with his brother.
Yeah, that's and they're completely, you can tell, they're just buddies again.

Speaker 2 He was just like helping him out. And then he goes, hey, come on over here for a second.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so it was

Speaker 2 very sweet. That was nice.

Speaker 2 Other than that.

Speaker 2 Should we get to some news stories?

Speaker 1 What do you want to do? Let me just do a quick one that made me laugh is that, you know, Taylor Swift did the song.

Speaker 1 Now there's been nine million things about the the song, Wood.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 So, our old friend, the working title was Boner.

Speaker 1 Yeah, our old friend, Senator John. Yeah, oh, yeah, okay, Johnny Kennedy, Senator John, haven't done him for a while, weighed in on it in a congressional hearing.
Now,

Speaker 1 some of the things our sons and daughters hear or may not be age-appropriate.

Speaker 1 This is a quote, and I quote it specifically: Taylor Swift's album about her football boyfriend player.

Speaker 1 Forgive me if it sounds cocky. He automized me.

Speaker 1 He opened my eyes.

Speaker 1 Redwood ain't hard to see.

Speaker 1 His love was the key that opened my thighs. Her words,

Speaker 1 not mine. Did I get that right?

Speaker 1 Yeah. I get that right.
Did I get that right? Yes. Get that right.
I think so. And David Spade

Speaker 1 went, played Seattle

Speaker 1 and he said that it was a beautiful city as long as it wasn't raining. Did I get that right?

Speaker 2 I did say something like that. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's shy.

Speaker 2 What about how much everything costs in the big bill?

Speaker 1 And the big, what people are trying to slip in during this shutdown, Ocasio Cortez, part of the far left of her party, said we've got to put $385 million

Speaker 1 so that bisexual mixed-race dwarfs that are left-handed and go by the pronouns me, them, hey, you, what's going on, need that money so they can learn how to dance the tango that gets rat he did that's ridiculous amount of money that's crazy right

Speaker 2 we're trying to get trans crickets in uganda like yours has that got this funny this high tone to it i'm trying not to commit to it because he does go high at these sometimes he gets really mad oh he has a big he goes for the bleachers he goes for the back of the house but sometimes he just is mumbling through and reading.

Speaker 1 No, he's looking at his notes. And now I believe that

Speaker 1 you tweeted October 4th. Tweeded.
You tweeted October 4th. And I quote,

Speaker 1 I think America sucks. You still stand by that?

Speaker 2 Is that something we want?

Speaker 1 And he smiles. Your words, not mine.

Speaker 2 He knows he caught him.

Speaker 1 What a stupid look. I know.

Speaker 2 He's got an easel. He's got like a pointer.

Speaker 1 Oh, he's such a funny character. Whatever your side of the political aisle is, you got to laugh.

Speaker 2 Oh, you have to sometimes.

Speaker 1 You have to.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. What else?

Speaker 2 We can talk. Well, let's run with some of these stories.
What do we got? Anything decent to run with?

Speaker 1 Let's do what we promised. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, high school students are being locked up for wearing saggy pants. This is something that's been around for a while.
Oh, look at these lightning bolt pants. They're pretty low, I got to admit.

Speaker 1 Had to spend time in the jail

Speaker 1 wearing sagging pants to school in Oliver, Tennessee. That's pretty.

Speaker 1 I didn't even know what else to do. Antonio Ammons had to serve 48 hours behind

Speaker 2 those pants up

Speaker 2 handcuffs to his belt pocket.

Speaker 1 Oh, Sir Charles Woods. I know where this comes from.

Speaker 2 I like when they show money. Saggy pants.

Speaker 1 Reported happened more than once.

Speaker 2 I really like it.

Speaker 1 Ammons, who said he's never been

Speaker 1 able to do this look like at school?

Speaker 2 I'll decide.

Speaker 1 His underpants. I think jail time might be a little too much, but at the same time, out of saggy pants, four students were charged with indecent exposure.
Look at that, Hello.

Speaker 2 Those are like five layers of pants.

Speaker 1 Comedian Tim Conway.

Speaker 2 Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 Now, there's some regular pants. He used to do...
He used to do, what was the name of the game?

Speaker 2 Oh, dwarf on golf.

Speaker 1 Dwarf golf. And he had short pants.
Now, you know where that comes from, right?

Speaker 1 I don't know. They say, hey, look, so when you get arraigned in prison, you can't have a belt.
So when they take you to a jail or whatever, is that true? And they take your belt.

Speaker 1 And so the convicts, it would slide down and they would walk in like that.

Speaker 2 Sometimes my sweats don't have a string. Is it like that?

Speaker 2 When I'm in jail, I usually...

Speaker 2 I go, can I just wear what I'm wearing?

Speaker 1 You know, they're like, yeah, do whatever. Here's the thing.
Is it okay to observe it? You know, it's kind of like you get used to it.

Speaker 1 Like, there was my brother worked at this company, and one day a guy decided to come in and just roll the sleeve of one of his pants, the left leg.

Speaker 1 He rolled it up above his knee, and that was just his fashion look. So, if you see pants like that, you're allowed to go, what the fuck are you?

Speaker 2 No, I think it's just hard to move around and maneuver.

Speaker 1 Exactly.

Speaker 2 I mean, you look shuffly, and then,

Speaker 2 but all fashion, like, it doesn't matter. If you can handle it, do it.

Speaker 1 I don't think that's a woman. Heather, is that sexy?

Speaker 1 Sexy is the question. She's scared of bits and parts falling out.

Speaker 2 She's scared of bits and parts falling out. It looks like below the wean line, I have to say.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's way below that. There's

Speaker 1 the equator. It's below that.
Now, back, now back in the, I can't get out of my, back in the 1950s, and I Love Lucy had Fred Mertz. And so his pants were up.

Speaker 2 Oh, those are comically high. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Just the pants in those days, they wore them super high. Now it's super low.
It'll, everything goes back to norm.

Speaker 2 It'll be Todd Glass used to say, sometimes fat people just make up a middle and they put the belly. They just draw a belly button right there and go, I'm going to call this the middle.

Speaker 2 And we're going to.

Speaker 1 Well, that's where you can Zalot go below the gut and then it explodes from the belt. It's right around the lower pelvis.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And then you can go above the gut, but in the middle gives you like a 70-inch waist, which is

Speaker 2 right in the middle of the boiler.

Speaker 2 Okay, let's move it on from our big fashion bullies segment.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Woman goes viral for sending back $2,000 gift because she knows her worth.

Speaker 2 Ooh, baby, I'm worth it. Go to the next one.
There's got to be more to this. Oh, a woman.

Speaker 2 is going viral after revealing she returned $2,000, an early gift from someone she was dating, stating that gesture didn't align with her standards or values.

Speaker 2 She knows her worth, and the internet is divided. They called her bold and empowered, and some say gold digger.
So the guy said, I hit you at two grand for your birthday. I didn't want to get you.

Speaker 2 She said, thank you, but no thanks. That's not enough for me.

Speaker 1 Well, did they say what it was?

Speaker 2 It was money, just money.

Speaker 1 Oh, just cash. Sorry.
Okay.

Speaker 2 Which cash isn't a bad present because you can go buy what you want. It's not as maybe thoughtful if you don't.

Speaker 1 Here's the reason I think it's weird. Because I got a couple beans in my jeans.
I cut

Speaker 1 a couple shekels in my pocket. The thing that blew me,

Speaker 1 blew my mind, blew me. Sorry, it's a PG 13 show.

Speaker 2 Not anymore.

Speaker 1 Was when I went on Comedians and Cars with Jerry Sonzo.

Speaker 1 And at the end,

Speaker 1 he's dropping me off in his car and he hands me the envelope.

Speaker 1 And so it's it, my fee was ten thousand dollars in cash, but it felt like 10X. So getting 2,000 in cash would feel like 20,000 because everything is digital, electronic.

Speaker 1 You never really see or feel your.

Speaker 2 So when you have money in your hand, always, if they pay me at one of these clubs for a set,

Speaker 2 like the old days, you get 20 bucks to a set, you get 40 bucks to a set, they give you 40. It's cold, hard cash.
There's something better about that than just numbers on a.

Speaker 1 When I play the improv sometimes, they give you 500 bucks They just hand it to you I don't really need it and they hand it and it's 500 bucks So there's something about cash I don't know about this woman, but 2000 in cash what that I mean

Speaker 2 So she can't buy something she likes for two grand is that under the threshold of what you I mean, I would say if they're just casually dating

Speaker 2 It's not a thought-out gift, but sometimes people go I would rather just buy something that I want with money. But her saying, this, if you're giving me money, this isn't enough money to give me.

Speaker 1 This isn't, and I don't even have to name it, the Kardashinga effect, but the sense that everyone's a billionaire and we're all on yachts and we're all in private jets and the sense of feeling less than because of all this money chattering around, you know.

Speaker 1 And so, so you get to that with chump change, two grand.

Speaker 2 Well, maybe I'm worth it. Yeah.
And I think they see on TikTok people going, oh, I get money for this. And everyone's got this beautiful life on OnlyFans.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I wear a brain pepper.
I'm going to get a million dollars. Yeah.

Speaker 2 The OnlyFans girls always say how much they're getting. I think it's a little bit of a reaction of like, oh, you think this is so bad? Here's how much I make.
And so

Speaker 2 you're supposed to, that's supposed to shut everyone up, which it shuts people up.

Speaker 1 It pretty much shuts people up. Yeah, it shuts everybody up.

Speaker 2 Okay, what else? Ooh, baby.

Speaker 1 I don't know what you got. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Give it to me. I'm worth it.
I can't sing that song. We'll get in trouble.

Speaker 1 Fan is suing LeBron over misleading Hennessy ad.

Speaker 2 Do you know what this is about, Dana?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 Completely blank. We talked about last time.
We talked about the Hennessy, yeah.

Speaker 1 The last time. I guess we did.
This was a couple times ago, though, right?

Speaker 2 So he comes out and says, I'm making a decision like he did when he's going to Miami.

Speaker 2 And he goes, you'll hear my decision about my life at nine o'clock on Tuesday.

Speaker 2 So all the sports channels were like, he's going to retire. So people bought tickets for the Lakers at higher prices.
because it's his last year.

Speaker 2 And his announcement was he's teaming with Hennessy Hennessy to do an ad.

Speaker 1 Oh. Did we already talk about this? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Do you remember this, Dana?

Speaker 1 I do.

Speaker 1 Oh, but it was something to do with Hennessy and LeBron months ago or during. I played it much better today.
According to the days of the day,

Speaker 2 it was Tuesday. So maybe we just talked about it in real life, but

Speaker 2 he did it. So people are mad that he did it.
And so now a fan is going as far as suing him, saying, I paid more for tickets. And now, what's he trying to get?

Speaker 1 Would he just refund the tickets, or he wants a lot of cash?

Speaker 2 Maybe just a couple million for his trouble.

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 2 No one wants under millions. Why does anyone sue anyone?

Speaker 1 LeBron is going to go to, he's Tom Brady. This guy is going to go to 45, I think.

Speaker 1 I think he can.

Speaker 2 How old is he?

Speaker 1 He's 47. So that doesn't even count.
Do you have to go backwards? Greg, is he 41 yet?

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 2 No. No.
I think he turns 41 in December.

Speaker 1 This is still because he can play every position and sprint the four, you know, dunk the ball. It's not like a guy comes in, she suits three points.
Or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was sort of a

Speaker 1 dancer out there. He was very...

Speaker 2 Sky hooked.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I don't think he's rinsed yet. I mean, he's still better than...
He's not the best, but he's better than a lot of people. But I think people are saying, would Michael Jordan have done that?

Speaker 2 You know, that when they always compare him to Jordan.

Speaker 1 So that's Jordan left when he had more time. But, you know, LeBron is by every measure a physical freak.
You know? Yeah.

Speaker 1 If you're 6'8, 275, 280, and you're running at, would most people get out of the way, even other NBA players. He's running toward the hoop

Speaker 1 with that speed and that size. So anyway, he's 41 in December.

Speaker 1 We're He was doing a Batman theme.

Speaker 2 No, that was a train hitting.

Speaker 1 Did I hear that again? Well, I won't over talk.

Speaker 2 Going across the crosswalk.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Well, the fading was the best part.

Speaker 1 Something there.

Speaker 2 I used to be able to do a bus stopping.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was waiting for that last one.

Speaker 1 And I'm telling you,

Speaker 1 you do a lot of

Speaker 1 enough sound effects in your stand-up. You need to find the gears.

Speaker 1 I have a guy

Speaker 1 trying to pick a save.

Speaker 2 No, you don't. No, you don't.
He just made that up.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 2 that's a mic'd-up grasshopper eating.

Speaker 1 All right. Next story.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's a good one. Your phone.

Speaker 1 I got that from Jonathan Winters.

Speaker 2 Oh, look at this story.

Speaker 1 Little kid. Okay.

Speaker 2 JFK airport official stun is woman presents a passport from the nation Terenza

Speaker 2 does not exist. Okay, play this thing.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the woman has landed at JFK. This is a real story, though.
Passport from a country that has never existed in our lifetime.

Speaker 2 Is she a time traveler then?

Speaker 1 JFK International Airport are in shock. Tonight, a woman arrived Oh, oh, she's an alien.

Speaker 1 Look at her past. Passport was flawless.
Biometric chip, perfect holograms, dozens of stamps from countries that also do not exist. Her documents were perfect.
Better than perfect. Wow.

Speaker 1 The country, Terenza.

Speaker 1 It doesn't exist anywhere.

Speaker 2 We have another guy saying.

Speaker 1 She asked me, Is this America? I said, Yes, of course. Then she whispered, America, like she had landed in the wrong place.
She was like, authorities placed her in a secure room under surveillance.

Speaker 1 She sat calmly for hours. Then she vanished.
Cameras show her fading away, like static on a broken television screen.

Speaker 1 Do we see the static

Speaker 1 from another dimension? Explain it. Well, we see everything but her.
The camera's showing her face.

Speaker 2 I want to see her disappear, but you'd say that's fake, too. I know how you are.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, with the AI.

Speaker 2 What if the aliens, like this woman is clearly an alien, what if they say,

Speaker 2 we are going to give you, you know, because there's rumors that we've made deals to get technology from them.

Speaker 2 We're going to introduce you guys to AI right when we start showing up because no one will believe it. It'll be like, now it's murky.
You see a video of a UFO online. What do you do?

Speaker 2 You say, I don't know. I don't know.
Looks fake. I don't know.
Could be. AI.

Speaker 1 AI. Don't believe it.
Smart.

Speaker 2 Pretty soon, they can do anything with AI. They could

Speaker 2 say a criminal will get off robbing a bank. They show the video.
They go, That could be AI.

Speaker 1 It's not me. Well,

Speaker 1 it's pretty close. They keep coming out with different ones.
There's a new one out. And

Speaker 1 we could really potentially start this podcast and it would be our digital copies. And it will look and talk just like us.
Yeah. And we get paid.

Speaker 1 Scared yet?

Speaker 2 Scared yet. Wake up, sheeple.

Speaker 1 Sorry, Mr. Spade.
Run away. There's a new sheriff in town.
It's called AI. Your services are no longer.

Speaker 2 No way. They need me.

Speaker 2 They need me to be like this when you're talking. I'm like this.

Speaker 1 And they show me laughing.

Speaker 2 Okay, another one. Where are we at? Where are we at?

Speaker 1 Okay, his job is to pretend.

Speaker 2 I i think we've had something like this before it's funny though it's so mean so he's running a scary ride hold on ladies there's a knot in the chain let me picture that too

Speaker 1 oh

Speaker 1 hold on guys something wrong with your seat belts i gotta come check it hold on

Speaker 1 doesn't the word get around

Speaker 1 shoulder straps on let me get them real quick

Speaker 2 they look up

Speaker 1 they should drop a hair soon still for a second I got something wrong with the chain. There's a knot in it.

Speaker 2 The chain is a knot in it. How funny.

Speaker 1 Just thinking of new things. The whole time they're falling, they're like, the chain is a knot.
We got to come check it.

Speaker 2 Poor little girls.

Speaker 1 How dramatic does he get, you know?

Speaker 1 Hold on, hold on, ladies. I forgot the shoulder straps.
Hold on. Well, we already did.

Speaker 1 Well, he should get on the walkie-talkie and say, shut it down. Shut it down now.

Speaker 2 I mean, if he wants a don't let anyone else go. I won't.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 shut it down. I said, shut it down, damn it.

Speaker 2 That's fun. That's for Halloween.

Speaker 1 Did you like that kind of stuff? Did you like

Speaker 1 rail rides? No.

Speaker 2 Am I reading this right? The rail ride? Is that what they call them?

Speaker 1 Now, in 1981, you were a young boy and you went on the old Great Smoky Railroad ride in Nashville, Tennessee, where you proceeded to fall off the caboose, where you were caught by a man in a bear costume.

Speaker 1 Did I get that rat? Oh, boy. Your story, not mine.

Speaker 2 I used to ride the Roundup where you'd go on the wall and it would spin like this, then it would go like that, and you'd be like stuck to the wall.

Speaker 2 How I did that, knowing what a colossal pussy I've turned into, I don't know.

Speaker 1 Oh, with a, yeah, I've been in the wall one where the floor drops and you're all just stuck like rats. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Then if you barf, it hits you on the other side.

Speaker 1 You know, Disneyland is still just, you know,

Speaker 1 part of the Caribbean, you know. I mean, parts of the Caribbean, parts of the Caribbean is based mountain.
It's all this atmospheric stuff. It's not just metal, like what's that magic mountain?

Speaker 1 Guess what? It ain't so magic.

Speaker 2 No, no, it's more mountain than magic. Uh, all right, let's do one more.

Speaker 1 Let's just get this going.

Speaker 2 I guess this whole story is Steve Jobs. There's a big story that his daughter's pretty.

Speaker 2 I thought it was an AI picture, but that's his daughter. And her name's

Speaker 1 what is her name? Eve.

Speaker 2 And they say, well,

Speaker 2 Eve. And the company's called Apple.
Her name's Eve. Is that why? We don't know.

Speaker 2 But she's very pretty. And everyone was shocked that his daughter was pretty.
And she's wearing a turtleneck.

Speaker 1 Well, that gives it away.

Speaker 1 You know, I mean,

Speaker 1 it was a very pretty woman in that picture. I just wondered if there was any digital help.
It looks extremely smooth. How old is she? Because she looks 20.

Speaker 2 I would guess 25. I don't know.

Speaker 1 Now,

Speaker 2 she said,

Speaker 1 do you want to show Dana the zebra video just for fun? You don't have to put it in the show.

Speaker 2 Oh, you want to show him the zebra?

Speaker 2 Your zebra video? Does he have? Greg does not have it. There's no way he would have it.

Speaker 2 Oh, boy. All right.
Heather wants to send you a video. She tweaked.
She only added music.

Speaker 1 She's sending it to Greg.

Speaker 2 She's sending.

Speaker 2 And something of it, but it's let him just watch. It's just for fun.
Let's watch it. Just for fun.

Speaker 1 Let's watch it.

Speaker 1 Let's watch it. This is good.
This is a problem.

Speaker 2 I already saw it. I liked it.
Yo, you want to see something cool? No. Well, I'm going to do it anyway.

Speaker 2 Here he comes back.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 2 That's a strategic fence move. Look at this.
Look at the landing.

Speaker 1 Is that real?

Speaker 2 Yeah. The zebra hit it perfectly and it flipped him over and had to put some rock and roll music on him.

Speaker 1 I think that's slightly better than a girl's pretty.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, story. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Eve Jobs is pretty.

Speaker 1 Well, I was just going to go into being Eve Jobs. That's like being Barbara Lincoln in 1870 or something.
I mean, Steve Jobs is so famous, You know,

Speaker 2 she said Eve Jobs, she wanted to change her name so they wouldn't know his dad. So she wanted to change her name to Steve Jobs.

Speaker 1 Just really. Well, because

Speaker 1 of his wealth, she changed her first name legally to don't need

Speaker 1 jobs.

Speaker 2 Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 Not bad. Let's go back to the zebra.
Can we in a fucking pinch? In a pinch. What are you going to do?

Speaker 2 Dana's not caring enough about the zebra, Heather. I can tell.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, the flip thing blew my mind. I could see it again, actually.

Speaker 2 A girl's pretty. Eve Jobs is not a big story, but we'll go to the next one.

Speaker 1 The zebra is pretty.

Speaker 2 The zebra was gorgeous.

Speaker 1 Oh, look at this.

Speaker 2 U.S. has an AI-powered laser cannon.
This is what you can use in a war. Watch this thing.

Speaker 1 Department of Defense has just announced a new type of laser cannon weapon.

Speaker 2 I thought it was a car washer.

Speaker 1 Combat deployment testing. It has no muzzle, no ammunition, and no explosion.
This is lethality comes from

Speaker 1 a silent beam of pure energy this weapon is called sentinel x controlled by an artificial intelligence system that can identify and lock onto targets in zero points oh it's not controlled by us a beam of light explosive 10 000 degrees

Speaker 2 this is like vaporize enemy drones wow bang bam this is like when they said there's no direct energy weapons now could that start a fire anywhere in this country sure Sure. Look at it.

Speaker 2 From a satellite?

Speaker 1 From somewhere else? Whatever the latest weapons are, or their top secret. What is it, Heather?

Speaker 1 They announced the start of the Palisades fire and arrested someone.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 that's coming up.

Speaker 2 That'll lead us to this.

Speaker 1 We're on fire, and then we'll get that going.

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 2 these energy weapons, they always say, oh, those aren't real. Look at there's a for sure one, and it looks like it's pretty badass.
I don't like when they say it's operated by AI.

Speaker 2 That means I think it's time to shoot you now, Master. No, AI.
Please don't.

Speaker 1 Hey, Master. Guess what? I just thought of this.
You and other Earthlings are the real problem on Earth. So I have no choice.

Speaker 1 Sorry, digital lasers.

Speaker 1 Here's what I heard. We got satellites and we got weapons on them, whether they're whatever energy they are.
That if Russia ever tried anything, don't even try it. Don't even try it.

Speaker 1 Moscow, it's like something like

Speaker 1 four to six minutes vapor.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 2 There's so many things that we're trying to.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. I know.
The world's wonderful.

Speaker 1 It's getting,

Speaker 1 it's already scary. Everyone's getting armed up.
You're going, what's all these weapons for? What are we going to use?

Speaker 2 Dude, everyone's looking at these, going, are those legal? These arms?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, you've got guns.

Speaker 1 You know, a lot of countries have guns.

Speaker 1 You have guns.

Speaker 2 Here's my direct energy weapon. Gadiege.

Speaker 1 Gadish.

Speaker 1 I got to have an applause thing for how many times you have said gadish.

Speaker 2 That'll be in our coffee mug merch.

Speaker 1 What does it even mean, Dougie?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 2 All right, let's talk about the fires because

Speaker 2 the big story in January. So I think they figured out that the fires were maybe

Speaker 1 lit.

Speaker 2 Our actual arsonist. Was he an Uber driver or something like that?

Speaker 1 No, it was just they didn't put out

Speaker 2 the first fire?

Speaker 2 The first fire on January 1st.

Speaker 1 yeah it was just a normal campfire it wasn't like i don't think it was started but who did they arrest

Speaker 1 why but

Speaker 2 they arrested a guy it was like they didn't put out for i don't know yeah it just wasn't contained that's all yeah it wasn't so it smoldered at it's the one that smoldered for like a week yeah until the wind hit but they did arrest someone i think he said he was an uber driver but he took off to florida And they brought him back.

Speaker 1 But this long drive to Florida, the Uber driver took her? How can they blame all on him when there was like wasn't water?

Speaker 2 It's like feels like a whole lot of right. There's a million things wrong with the story because there's no water.
There was, you know, there were reservoirs that were empty.

Speaker 2 There was fire alarms shut off. There's a million things that just didn't add up.
And then the big one now, because Spencer Pratt is out there rattling the cages about this story a lot.

Speaker 2 And they're mad that Gavin Newsom is now

Speaker 2 spending

Speaker 2 $100 to $300 million on the gerrymandering issue, but not giving hiring more firemen. I think we had a

Speaker 2 shot of that. But they're supposed to hire away more firemen and make more firehouses.

Speaker 1 Where did all the funds go from all the firemen? Vito's firefighter raised. Is this true? Calling it too costly after spending

Speaker 2 well. I don't know if this gas can match with Karen Bass.

Speaker 1 Right, I don't know if

Speaker 1 I say to him and Karen Bass, holding those two things up in that photo was like bad politics and this is yeah this got a little slightly debunked like they make cuts every year with the like what they did this year wasn't different than apparently any other year right but i think it's a lot to do with the well combination like you said right i mean

Speaker 2 how it started they arrested some guy i wonder how they could pin it all on him unless they caught him i heard they checked out his phone his story didn't check out did he Did he make the initial fire?

Speaker 2 That's what we're trying to find out. But they did bust a guy.
And after all this time, it sounds odd that they would get somebody. Yeah.
You know, that,

Speaker 2 but it was the most horrific fire we've had. I mean, that was the most

Speaker 2 because they're not building anything yet. I mean, if you look up, they're not building all the houses back.
They're not giving all the permits, they said. So something's going on.
It's just odd.

Speaker 2 I will say that.

Speaker 1 It's

Speaker 1 whoever did it, I don't care who, but it was, you know, poorly planned. I mean, we have to allocate resources in California that can be used for alternative purposes.

Speaker 1 So it goes to Yen or it goes to Yang. But I would say in California, with AI or just with good planning, we can identify where they need

Speaker 1 some forest management. We need extra water, you know, be defensive.
And obviously this fire blew everyone's mind. I'm very surprised that, you know, it hasn't even

Speaker 2 controlled burns or fire.

Speaker 1 It's life or or death. It's like the police.
It's like we have to have strong police department, fire department. I don't know.
I know it's a hot take, but

Speaker 1 we do have in California, we have, and it's not going to be a good thing.

Speaker 2 We can put more money toward that. It would be great.

Speaker 1 We could find the money somewhere and not waste money. It would be very nice.
And we are a state. A lot of states have public employee pensions, and people are living.

Speaker 1 They get their pension at 55 and then they live to 95. And the system wasn't built for that.

Speaker 1 Guess what the age was when you could collect Social Security

Speaker 1 when they first made it in the 1930s?

Speaker 1 I don't know, 50?

Speaker 1 61, but the average life expanse expectation

Speaker 1 was 65.

Speaker 2 Sure, that's probably where 65 came from.

Speaker 1 Now you get your social security. I'm not saying this politically, I'm just saying it as a fact.
You get it 62, maybe you go to 102. That's a lot of payoff.

Speaker 2 That's a hard part. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I am running for mayor.

Speaker 1 I wanted to announce that.

Speaker 2 Please, please do. I would love it.

Speaker 2 Okay, let's see what else. And then, Dana, I got to get you out of here.

Speaker 1 We got to get you back to Seattle. You have another set.

Speaker 2 Another set.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Footage. Oh, this is kind of funny.
This is the thing that bites you in the ass.

Speaker 2 There's a Glenn Powell

Speaker 2 show. I could explain this story.
Glenn Powell show on Hulu. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And so this girl is having a party because she has a scene in the movie or the show.

Speaker 2 And her part comes up and she's been replaced by the Hawk Tui girl.

Speaker 2 Hawk Tua.

Speaker 1 Remember Hawk Tua? So all her friends are like, where are you?

Speaker 2 Sister, did you come in later?

Speaker 2 No, this is literally my scene. I was flying.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God.

Speaker 2 So they went back and shot it with Hawk 2.

Speaker 2 Look at her flipping out.

Speaker 1 Being an actress is hard in LA.

Speaker 2 It's brutal.

Speaker 2 It's too sticky.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm thinking about it? It's like

Speaker 1 everything that's happening, it's like...

Speaker 2 True noble.

Speaker 1 It's like True Noble. True Noble!

Speaker 2 Stop it. That's fine.
