Hello, people, let me tell you about the online cannabis company that's revolutionizing how we deal with life's challenges.

From sleepless nights to stress-filled days, mood.com has created an entire line of functional gummies that target specific health concerns with 100%

federally legal THC blends.

They deliver them discreetly, in case you're surrounded by squares, right to your doorstep.

And you can get 20% off your first order at mood.com with promo code FREEDOM.

I've tried a bunch of their gummies myself.

And I got to tell you, it's wild how different each one feels.

Their sleepy time gummies knock me out in about 15 minutes flat.

No hangovers, no grogginess.

I wake up feeling amazing.

And they're epic euphoria gummies.

They're perfect for those days and nights when nothing's going right.

And you just need to hit the reset button on your, frankly, crap mood.

What makes these different is how they paired THC and other cannabinoids with herbs and adaptogens.

You're not just going to find gummies like this in a dispensary or anywhere for that matter.

And they have gummies for literally everything: immune support, menopause relief, PMS symptoms, mental clarity,

sexual arousal.

And each one is crafted using federally legal cannabis grown on small, family-owned American farms.

No pesticides, no BS.

You can look up what that stands for.

And they can ship to most states in the U.S.

Best of all, not only does Mood stand behind everything with an industry-leading 100, I'm assuming everything they make, with an industry-leading 100-day satisfaction guarantee.

But as I think you'll recall, I mentioned, my listeners, Paul of Tompkins' listeners, get 20% off their first order with code FREEDOM.

So here's what I'd like you to do for yourself, not for me.

Head to mood.com, browse their amazing selection of functional gummies, and find the perfect gummy for whatever you're dealing with.

And remember to use promo code Threedom at checkout to save 20% on your first order.

I'll see you in your dreams.

Three!

Now, when the next moment strikes, I'm gonna yell Threedo.

You made me miss that.

And you guys might feel another one coming, actually.

Right about

freedom!

You miss it again.

Oh, man.

Hi, everyone.

Welcome to Freedom.

The world's greatest podcast.

The world's greatest podcast on Earth.

This world's greatest podcast that happens on Earth.

What do you think of the podcast?

This world has other podcasts on different planets.

It definitely.

Do you think there's podcasts in the next world?

Oh, I think they figured out a better way to do this.

Does heaven have a podcast?

Does heaven have a podcast?

And if so, may I guess?

What about host?

You got to figure out for yourself.

Come on, Morrissey.

Oh my god.

Damn it.

No, that's not.

Why did you hit your fucking knee on?

That thing hurts so bad.

I have the exact same thing over here.

What is it?

And that thing has hurt my knee.

It says a little gnome guy who just pokes you with a knife.

Yeah, why do you have that?

Sorry.

Speaking of owl.

Okay.

Now,

you are the first two letters of owl.

You all know.

Or owlf, if you're spelling it wrong.

Owlf.

Did you know there was an olf movie?

No.

I bet it saw my ass.

I don't think this was in theaters,

but it does

made for television.

Does it star Alf?

Of course it stars Alf.

Oh,

it's got to be number one on the call sheet.

What if it was like

Elf and ALF meet?

Owl.

What if it was like Chris Pine or Pratt as Elf?

Owlf.

Owl.

What if it were Chris Pine or Chris Brad as owl?

It's really good.

It's very solid.

Martin Sheen is in it.

Whoa.

Plays like a military guy.

You know, that was the Philippine.

Always called Project Alf.

What is he like?

He's like, it's a good idea.

I think he's been captured by the military.

Oh, God.

So they're just stealing E.T.'s.

If it was G.I.

Jane and he has to shave his head, he would look so weird.

It's a 1996 American made-for-television science fiction comedy film directed by Dick Lowry, which serves as a sequel to the final episode, Consider Me God, of the 1986-1990 sitcom Elf.

See, you thought it was a drama.

Wait, this serves as a prequel or a sequel to the final episode.

We don't need a prequel.

I mean, unless you want to see where he's from.

I wouldn't mind

Melmack.

Yeah.

Do they have cats on Melmack?

Because I was just wondering.

He just discovers them on Earth.

It's like if you go to another place and you're like, this is the best food I've ever had.

I can't believe I've never had this.

And it's like cats.

Do you think Elf ever went to the the musical cats and was like, oh,

do you think Alf ever went to the moon?

That's a good question.

Is that close to Malmech?

I wonder because sometimes I think that Malmec must be behind the moon and that's why we can't see it and we don't know it's there.

Do you think Alf ever went to third base?

I think so.

With his owner.

I thought she was attracting.

I know the guy.

What's his name, Max?

Willie.

Alf, you have to stop doing this.

Alf.

I can't remember what it was, but but there's some really dramatic excuse of Alf.

He's not in the movie.

Speaking of Alf,

you know that I've long been haunted by the question, when is the next time I'm going to fall down?

Yes.

Yep.

I think about the stairs a lot.

I have to carry Emmy up and downstairs.

And occasionally, she's,

I always have a rule, like, hold on to daddy because I don't want to fall.

I don't want her to fall.

And so if you, if you fall, you don't want to fall alone.

Right.

I want to share this experience with me.

Because our friend, we were taping a podcast recently, and we heard a massive bang, and our friend fell down the stairs.

And I'm just like, I think the stairs are such a death trap.

My story is downstairs.

Okay, where did you fall?

But I did fall.

I fell in my own living room.

In your own feces?

Do you know?

Did you fall in your own feces?

Come on, Paul, tell us.

Allegedly.

Allegedly.

Do you know how when you were wearing a sneaker, you're wearing a crock, you're wearing something with that type of sole?

Well, those

are a little different from one another.

Well, you'll see how they are similar.

Something with tread, is that what you mean?

Yes, because sometimes you can sort of snag on the rug or carpeting

if you don't lift your feet high enough.

Yeah,

you should be lifting your knees up to waist level every time you take a seat.

I usually do.

Yeah, you both do.

And you refuse to.

I won't, because I think you both look dumb.

But you take your leg and you skip it behind your.

I kind of do a break dance move where I skip one leg behind the other and

grapevining.

Propel forward somehow.

Yeah.

Somehow.

Yeah.

I was getting up off the couch, walking towards the kitchen.

What had you been watching?

And what were you about to do?

Yes.

I remember neither of those things.

Oh, what?

This incident overtook you.

It did indeed.

Okay.

i

pitched forward oh i there was a chair thankfully wing back chair that we have in our home hard chair or soft chair

well wing back kind of implies hard

no it doesn't because it's an upholstered chair so that implies soft squishy even at least the cushion part of it

well they used to call them squishins

unfortunately the cushion part i was not close to it really you need more cushion for the cushion?

For the falling.

For the fall.

I flew forward.

My right hand

got the back of the chair.

So that sort of, as I went down, the chair went down with me.

And the chair served to cushion my face from the floor.

Oh, good.

You're a moneymaker.

Exactly.

You need that.

But my left knee hit

hard.

It fucking hurt, man.

It hurt.

And it hurts to this day.

Not

go into

specialist.

If I touch it, it hurts.

It does not hurt.

When was it?

I was going to see a specialist regarding this.

This was a couple weeks ago.

You might want to see a specialist.

This is similar to my breaking my ankle.

I was like, oh, this is probably okay.

Then even went to the Hollywood Bowl with you.

With me.

So that was the interesting thing.

I could have stayed home for sure, but I went out with you

and was walking around and all that.

And then finally, about a week or 10 days in, I was like, this is not getting better.

Let me go see the specialist.

And the specialist was like, of course, my famous foot doctor was like, why don't you come in the day after it happened?

What are you doing?

This isn't stuff you need to be messing around with.

No, I can't give you cocaine.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Were you alone?

No, Janie was there.

Was she watching?

I think she orchestrated it.

She saw it happen and was very concerned.

And then she got some ice from me, put ice on my knee.

But yeah, it was

very scary.

That is very scary.

Falling is crazy.

But now I feel like I got some more time until the next.

Oh, yeah, yeah, totally.

I've had a couple falls

within the last year, maybe that are

low-key, but weird.

Like one of them, I was looking at my phone and I missed a step.

Humiliating.

Humiliating.

I didn't fully tumble, but it wasn't good.

And the other one, I was falling.

I fell up the stairs.

I don't know.

I like missed a step or I just, and I was carrying a bunch of stuff.

And we have a baby gate at the top of the stairs, but it's like soft.

It's not like wait, you were involved in baby gate?

And I fell like into it, but it was like chaotic.

And it was suitable.

And like, Mike wasn't, I was like, oh my God.

Like, Mike's in the other room.

Like, what, what, what?

I'm like, I can't explain now.

I'll tell you when I'm through this.

Like, I was like, baby gates are the cause of so many falls

in our house.

And it's like, but not for babies.

No, not for babies.

It protects them and fucks us up.

It's like, is it worth it?

Yeah.

You got to wonder.

For the baby.

Yeah.

The baby's like, oh, that could have been me.

Oh, man.

If that was waste high,

if that was waste high on me, that would have been bad.

Now, guys,

you know, I've been on a movie tear.

Wow.

You saw some movies.

I have seen some more movies.

This is incredible.

I saw the movie The Killer, starring Michael Fossbender.

Nice.

Yes.

I saw a Jim Jarmouch movie called The Dead Don't Die, which is his take on a zombie movie.

I watched part of that.

Part of it is about nothing.

I've not seen that, but I don't typically gravitate to the sky.

Oh, wait, no, I think I saw the whole thing, actually.

Zombie movie.

Let me look it up.

I mean, it was interesting in that it is Jim Jarmouche's take on a zombie movie.

He's not a guy you would expect to do this sort of thing.

And it was mostly fine, except

it did get kind of repetitive,

like intentionally repetitive.

And then there was also like

three.

How do you, what did you check?

Three small

three small meta moments

that involve

them acknowledging that they're in a movie.

Yes, right.

And it's

necessary.

No, it's really strange.

Like you, that's interesting.

It happens once in the very beginning of the movie, then it doesn't happen again until the end of the movie, and it happens a couple times.

That's That's as strange as the very Doctor Strange that is the master of the mystic.

Is that a parody of the Yahoo?

It is not.

Yahoo!

Here's what it is: here's why I think that because there was a billboard for Doctor Strange, the first movie,

and it showed him like reaching his arm out for something strange.

Like he's doing a spell for something.

Yeah, he wants something strange.

For something strange.

Yeah, like strange strange.

Who are you going to call?

Doctor Strange.

There you go.

Because he wants all the strange.

Because he's a magic man.

He does spells.

You would think his hand would be palm down, fingers out, like

abracadabra.

But he's more of a

ball.

Hey, give me that.

Work the balls, work the shot, tickle the shots.

Play with the balls.

Work the shot.

Thank you.

That's what

Sylvester says.

Just play with them.

Have fun.

Allegedly.

Pick a ball.

Amuse yourself by playing with the balls.

Allegedly.

Allegedly, Sylvester Suzuki.

Are we going to get sued over that?

Who knows?

These days, he's one of Hollywood's ambassadors.

So I saw that billboard, and to me, it was like he was singing, like he was a great opera Devo.

Singing, Doctor, Doctor Strange.

Well, I saw Freakier Friday.

Yes, which I loved.

I couldn't have loved it more.

It was a movies.

It was a.

Oh, I want to hear more.

Okay.

It was a mixed age range of the audience, like children.

Oh, sure.

So not everyone was born on the same day, the same birthday, but like full house of like, but like full house was there, yes.

It was a cool year, it was a 645 showing.

There were children, there were grown-ups, there were people alone, there were people with kids, whatever.

It was a blast.

I want my friend.

We were giddy the whole time.

And I even cried at one point.

Aww, loved it.

Wow.

That's great.

I'm glad to hear that.

That sounds like fun.

Yeah.

I've seen a lot of movies recently, but you'll have to listen to my other show to hear about them.

Thanks for the warning.

Sure.

I saw two equalizer movies in as many days.

Wow.

Did you watch one and a half on one day and half on another?

Or are you just like, was it each got their own day?

Was it literally 24 hours in between?

Were you counting down the seconds of like, I can't watch the second equalizer until it's 24 hours?

I wasn't, but I bet that's what happened.

Yeah, I bet.

Now, can I ask a question about your TV habits?

Yeah.

So are you kind of replacing mindless

stuff with, I'm going to watch a specific movie tonight and that's it.

And then I'm going to go to bed.

Or are you kind of like, and I still watched a little bit of this dumb thing?

Well, Janie has been out of town, so I've had the house to myself.

So I'm able to watch, like,

go ahead.

I'm able to watch

a bunch of movies if I feel like it.

Yeah, because she's not there to be like, I don't feel like equalizing tonight.

You know, like, speaking of Janie's Got a Gun, I saw this post and I'm noticing this trend on Facebook.

So there was this post that was like a girl in the audience at a

Steven Tyler, what's the band?

Why can't I think of it?

Arrow

Smeath concert.

And she's holding up a sign and said, Janie was my mom, or my mom's.

And then he brings her on stage and they hug, and they have this whole thing.

It's fully AI.

And then it's none of it's real.

None of it happened.

Oh, no.

I'm so glad I didn't click on it.

None of it happened.

I didn't even click.

It was like all these photos.

I didn't even click.

I didn't even click all these photos, though, of this girl.

And then he brings her.

I kind of thought it was real.

I didn't really think about it.

And then I looked dumb.

And then there was another one that was Eminem.

And so I'm like,

that's like a trend with people posting these my mom was the real stan

it was that's maybe a title it was something like you helped me you you said we could rap together if da da da da and then like she gets up on stage and they rap or something it's not a video it's just pictures and it that one looked more fake right but it was like what is this

trash that I now have to deal with the rest of my day

it's such a drag how do you get it out of your algorithm because you clicked on one of them or no I probably, I mean, it's Facebook, it's on Facebook, which is like basically a wasteland for me.

Like, I don't really have a good algorithm or anything.

It's just doing whatever it's doing.

Yeah.

And it's trash.

I just can't even.

The AI shit is very, very depressing.

It's so depressing.

And then I think there are people, I think we're having a little bit of a...

Because it's so much better than what we do.

Yeah, exactly.

We're obsolete.

Like, I had that idea to do the airspace.

A lot of people are the real genes.

I'm hearing people with opinions that are making me upset with just kind of going like, well, that's what, that's what it's going to be now.

I don't think that it is.

I don't think so either.

By the way, it's topped out to its abilities.

Like,

it's not really getting any better.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, it probably will find its real footing in terms of crime.

Sure.

Like, like,

in terms of like scams, scamming people.

Like, if, like, if,

you know, I'm Stephen Tyler and I'm like, oh, what?

Your mom is the real James.

I don't remember this.

Oh, okay.

Well, let me ask her up on stage.

There There I am.

Yeah.

Maybe I'll send her some money, I guess.

Equalizer movies I enjoyed.

Oh, good.

I enjoyed it.

It's interesting that.

This is Denzel, not Queen Latifah.

By the way, you should have saved this for Scott who hasn't seen because it's been on the list.

I've never been allowed to see the list.

You're not allowed to see it.

His own movies that he's interested in.

Okay, and you want me to say this to him.

He's allowed to watch his own movies that he's.

He wants to watch movies with me.

He brought me a movie the other day that we're going to watch.

Oh, it was it?

Monster and Commande.

Colon, the far side of the world.

I don't know what that is.

That is a really good.

Know what that is, please.

Teach me, and then I can.

Here's what I'm saying.

Teach a woman to

teach a woman to fisher to watch Master and Command Alte.

It is an adventure movie.

It takes place on

the sea.

Yeah.

You went to Freakier Friday the other day.

Yeah, it was wild.

I was at the mall.

It takes place on old tiny boats where, guess what?

oceans are now battlefields yeah

and uh russell crowe is the captain of this ship and they get you don't want to know too much about it by the way i mean you know there's not much to it they get a bunch of yeah they get into a bunch of fights it's fucking great yeah and meanwhile people are like oh this water is wet

there's a couple trailers for things that looked really exciting last night like what There's a new movie with Brendan Fraser where I think it's called Rental Family or something.

He's an actor.

He's like an out-of-work actor and he gets his agent agent calls, and she's like, I got this job for you.

It's in Tokyo.

And you have to pretend to be, like, people hire you to be their relative, like to pretend to be their dad or their brother or their friend.

And you just act the part and hang out with them, which I guess is a real thing.

Kulap was developing a TV show about this for a while, and then it didn't sell in this movie.

This is a real thing.

It's always so frustrating when something that happened.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But it looks so good and moving and emotional.

I was like, I need to see that.

Who's

the best?

Like hiring actors to act as parental figures, figures, stuff like this.

For who?

For,

I don't know,

emotional, yeah, basically helping people.

That thing that's missing in your life other than you and this chair that you felt like, well, hey, younger.

I'm not getting it out of you.

You'll have to see the movie to understand.

And then the other one I want to see.

You'll have to see the whole movie to understand.

Yeah.

You can't just watch this trailer.

She watches.

No.

Well, it looks good.

The other movie I want to see is Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell.

And

they kind of like go into another dimension where like.

Another dimension.

and they can they go to like he they walk through these different doors and they're like he's like that's the door of my high school and she's like let's go and he's like I don't want to go to my high school and they go back in and they look like themselves but he's like I'm 15 oh my god I feel all the things that I felt oh my god it just seems so like interesting

those are the two that got me excited I can't remember the name of them okay

I saw we saw the naked gun which was

so much fun did you laugh aloud yeah absolutely laughed all the way through it me too um I don't remember any of the trailers that we saw saw, though.

None of them really struck me before that one either.

This one had, I don't know, maybe Freakier Friday.

Oh, we did see Freakier Friday.

We did see that trailer.

We did see that trailer.

And I did not see that.

I did not

see that trailer.

It's great.

It's great.

Naked Gun was like, I was like, we're back, baby.

We're back.

Movie theater's back.

Laughing Out Loud is back.

LOLing.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Speaking of being back, we need to come back after this.

You got it.

Bye.

Hey, Lauren, have you ever shopped online?

Yes.

Oh, cool.

You seem to- Wait, ask me too.

Hey, Paul, have you ever shopped online?

No.

Well, you should start.

How?

Well, um,

what do I have to explain to get you into this shopping online thing?

The internet?

Do I need to explain that or do you know what the internet is?

No, I know what the internet is.

Okay.

Well, you can shop on it.

You can buy stuff.

And then they sent it to your house or other places.

That's where my knowledge has a gap.

Well, you know, the reason that most people abandon their carts when they're shopping online, it's not because they don't want the items anymore.

It's because they don't want to get up from their couches or wherever they happen to be sitting or lying down and go get their credit card.

I would think the big appeal of abandoning your cart is that you get to yell, abandoned cart.

I mean, that's a big part of the reason, but that's mainly why people do it.

And

some businesses are

I don't know.

Yes, are you not interested in this anymore?

Well, I just wanted to tell you something.

What?

Part of the reason why some businesses are so successful is because they allow customers to save their information, making checkouts fast and pain-free.

Okay, so you might have seen a purple button at checkout with the word shop sticking out amongst all the other payment options.

That's Shopify's shop pay.

And there's a reason so many businesses sell with it, homies.

Yeah.

Shopify doesn't just make the buying experience better better for customers, they're also the experts in helping small businesses grow big and complete sales, which is why so many businesses rely on Shopify.

Well, I'm going to trust the experts.

Yeah.

Shopify's point-of-sale system is a unified command center for your retail business.

Imagine being able to guarantee that shopping is always convenient.

Endless aisle, ship to customer, buy online, pick up and store, all made simpler so customers can shop how they want and staff have the tools to close the sale every day.

And let's face it, acquiring new customers is expensive.

With Shopify POS, point of sale.

What did you call it?

Point of sale, you nasty people.

You can keep shoppers coming back with personalized experiences and first-party data that gives marketing teams a competitive edge.

In fact, it's proven.

Based on a report from EY, businesses on Shopify POS

see real results.

Like 22% better total cost of ownership and benefits equivalent to an 8.9% uplift in sales on average relative to the market set surveyed.

Stop seeing carts going abandoned and turn those sales into

Hey, Paul.

Yeah.

The fall's coming up.

Oh, I know.

That rhymes with Paul.

It does.

Isn't that fun?

It's just like summer rhymes with Pummer.

Yeah.

Do you get busier in the fall because your name rhymes with it?

Yeah.

People look to me for a lot of fall things.

Yeah.

And first you're the fall guy.

The movie was made about it.

Fall guy.

Yes, but they changed a lot of the details so I wouldn't get sued.

Other than you being a stuntman.

Yeah, so I wouldn't sue them.

Who breaks his back?

I am a stunt man and I do break my back.

Yeah, fall, I gotta first I gotta buy the Halloween candy.

Yeah, then I gotta buy Thanksgiving candy.

Oh, now this is candy that tastes like turkey or is in the shape of a turkey?

Both, and it's for turkey.

Oh, okay.

Wow.

So 360.

And I buy it from turkey.

Okay.

From turkeys in turkey?

Wow.

If you're a turkey in turkey, by the way.

God bless you.

I have a turkey and turkey on my TV.

It's really.

In any case,

look, schedules get so much busier in the fall.

And so because I'm so busy, I usually rely on the same go-to meals.

You know, something quick, something healthy, usually, honestly, something pretty boring.

Because by week two, I'm already burnt out on all the salads I normally eat or the blend.

Yeah, exactly.

You watch me eat all the time.

So I end up sacrificing flavor for convenience.

God, I don't want you to do that.

Okay.

That's why I love Cook Unity.

Oh, their chefs make eating healthy so much easier and so much more delicious.

It's like having a rotating lineup of restaurant quality meals ready in your fridge.

So you never fall in a flavor rut.

Wow, this sounds amazing.

I mean, I eat to live and I live to eat.

Like the Harley-Davidson guy.

Exactly.

So I might let Cook Unity fuel my day with fresh flavors crafted by renowned chefs.

Their ever-expanding menu of over 300 small batch meals are tailored to my lifestyle, dietary needs, and cravings.

I'm going to tell you a story, Scott.

Okay.

This is for my personal life.

Once upon a time, you know, I'll start with that.

Sure.

Once upon a time, I got a meal from Cook Unity that was so delicious.

It was the Piri Piri chicken thighs, fun to say, fun to eat, with rice and roasted broccoli from chef Dustin Taylor.

The chicken, so well spiced.

The whole thing topped with this spicy cilantro sauce that was just to die for, although I yet lived.

Yep.

Truly so much better than anything I would make for myself.

And it all came together in just how many minutes would you say?

180.

Five.

Five.

Yeah.

Lauren, you're wearing a New York Yankees hat.

I am.

Are you a fan of those Yankees hats?

You know, people have asked me that, and I've been like, what are you talking about?

Why did you ask me that?

I associate the hat with nothing.

You're wearing the hat because it's the same color as your shirt?

Yeah, I'm wearing the hat because I wanted to wear a hat, and that's the one I grabbed.

And the hat I bought because I wanted a cream-colored hat that wasn't plain.

And here we are.

Where did you buy this?

Yeah, who are you?

Matthew Bourne?

I bought it at

Yankee Season a technology or something when i was had box seats for as like my favorite team for every game trader joe's employee asked me if i'm a fan and then he gave me a name of somebody's you can like that's what babe ruth is say

yeah is that a current guy

um but i was like no

he was just pointing at your candy and i don't care yeah yeah so you don't you you're babe ruth is the one name brand candy bar they sell at trader joe's yeah they don't sell tin foil by the way what's up with that i know what's going on with this place why why why draw the line at paper tape paper look we're gonna be smaller than a regular market we're not gonna sell everything but then they like tinfoil come on i'm like oh i might need that to make my dinner yeah you have all the dinner things but no tinfoil because you're making s'mores for dinner right

i put tinfoil on my baking sheet

yeah of course of course you do he's acting like that's crazy no no i mean you think let me get this straight i i don't you've never heard of that okay hold on a second You're telling me you only think a tinfoil is for s'mores?

I don't even know what I would do is.

What prison life you live?

What am I thinking of where, like, you.

Chiffy pop?

No,

like over a campfire.

You would

you put your beans in there and then you cold it over a heat in there.

Put your beans in there.

Put your beets in there.

And then you, and you heat it up over the fire with.

No, there was like some sort of treat that I think when I was in camp, they were like, oh, okay.

And we'll all be.

Does it involve a banana?

May as well.

Because somebody showed that to me and it didn't work really what was it it was kind of a drag you put a banana in tinfoil maybe with some chocolate or something yeah um and you hold it over the fire yeah and it's supposed to all

gelatinous goose you know what we did when i was disgusting sounds gross one of my apartments um when you're camping you're desperate for good stuff though one of my apartments in

theater school the people i guess they didn't that's why that kid in into the wild eat those poison berries

i guess he just wanted out.

He's like, Oh, I wanted something sweet.

I guess the people, it wasn't the people who owned the apartment building, they must have been the supers or whatever you call it, where they're they run the apartment building.

They're called the Incredibles, the Incredibles.

I'm sorry, yeah.

So, there's a land

incredible, yeah.

Uh, in any case, they were this older couple who were very sweet, um, and they would inject a watermelon with vodka, sure,

uh, put a tampon up your ass,

No.

Soaked in nothing.

Just, we're going to put vodka in this watermelon, put this in your ass.

We'll have a party this weekend.

But it was the first time I'd ever heard of it, of like, okay,

we're going to put, inject this watermelon with vodka, then let it seep in overnight.

What do they inject?

What are they using?

A hypodermic needle.

That's a good question.

Do you want to penetrate a fucking watermelon?

No, I mean, I think you'd have to use.

If a card can hurled by Ricky J, certainly a hyperbolic.

That's Ricky J.

I think you can cut a hole in it and shove in like a turkey baster.

I forget what.

Then that's what I'll do.

If I can do it, I will do it.

You can.

You will.

You can do.

And you've done up to this point.

You can do it.

You can do it.

In any case,

and then they were like, oh, yeah, you let it soak for 24 hours and then you eat the watermelon the next day.

So these are like fun, incredibles that you had.

Yeah.

And then you get kind of drunk while you eat watermelon.

It was like, oh, that sounds great.

Or what if I just fucking took a shot?

I don't think it works.

There's something about that that sounds very squalid to me.

It feels like.

It's just eating watermelon, getting drunk off the watermelon.

Because we did it.

We were like, oh, this is a good idea.

And we did it, and it just tastes like watermelon that's slightly blander, and then no one got drunk.

Slightly blander.

Wow.

I don't even like watermelon.

I'm not a watermelon guy.

I don't think that jell-o shots even work.

Have you ever felt like a jell-o-shot works?

I've never had a jell-o-shot in my life.

I never felt like anything was happening from that specifically.

It was all the other alcohol I put in at the same time.

What if we called the Superintendent the Incredible?

Super Nintendo what?

The Incredible.

Super Nintendo says what?

What?

Ah, I got you.

What if we called the Superintendent the Incredible?

Yes.

Like, oh, the heater's out.

I got to call the Incredible.

What if we called Superman Incredible Man?

It would work.

It'd be great.

It would actually make more sense.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

It's a better name.

What he does, frankly, is incredible.

Yeah.

I think it's super.

I haven't seen the movie, but I'm curious to see it.

I've seen The Incredibles 50.

You've never seen The Incredibles?

Motherfucker.

Do you think when we start talking about Superman and there's a Superman movie in theaters and I say I never heard anyone say the worst movies

weren't listening but you should see the incredibles it's really I've seen the incredibles how dare you that's there in Incredibles too yeah Yes.

I did this show called

Crowd Control, which is on dropouts.

It's coming out very soon.

That's right.

Jaquis Neil hosts it.

He does a great job.

I love Jaquis.

And the concept is that all the people in the audience, you're only doing crowd work with the audience, but the audience is full of people who have some weird aspect about them, some strange story to tell, whatever.

So you're trying to get to that, or they're bringing it up.

They have t-shirts that have asked me about words on them.

Oh, okay.

They didn't know to put Ask Me About.

That was a given.

Yeah, yes.

But there's some clue as to what their story is.

And so you talk to them.

Do they have to go out and find these t-shirts in the wild that apply to their situation?

This show has been in development for 70 years.

Just because first they found the t-shirts, and then they had to go find the people that matched up.

This is you.

This is you.

They just kept holding up t-shirts.

Oh, so the people have to really have that affection.

Yeah.

Okay.

Wow.

I think they should have found interesting people first and then made them the teachers no i don't know but it's not my place no wait do the people the people aren't being characters it's people's no no no this is real stuff oh okay this is real stuff and so um

wild this is stuff that's real it's wild

wild stuff

and so one person in the audience was the voice of the baby jack-jack in the incredible i was about to bring up the baby because the baby is the star we are the star of number two everybody yes like the it was me Jamie Loftus, and John Marco Cerisi.

And as soon as she said this, we got so excited.

Yeah.

But you've never seen it.

How would you know?

He has some.

I'm going to have to ask you to go fuck yourself.

As long as you ask nicely.

Could you go in the corner and go fuck yourself?

Thank you.

But it was very exciting.

And she gets residuals to this day.

It was a woman.

I hope so.

The baby was a woman.

The baby was a woman.

Amazing.

That's good that actors get residuals residuals on animated because writers don't.

I haven't seen a dime from Shark Tale.

I mean, have you seen the movie?

That's tough.

To be fair, they paid more than other.

So they paid more than the actor got, probably.

No, well, they paid more than like a different writing gig under the

like, you know, under the agreement of like, oh, but you're not going to get residuals for any of this.

You know, the little boy from Lion King said, how about you just give me points on this instead of paying

30% of the back end?

Little boy.

Someone obviously advised him.

Yeah.

And he, instead of making like $200,000, he ended up making millions.

That's the, I mean, I've talked about this on my other show up with the Vincent Price thriller story.

Oh, yes.

Where

he's in

my blog

at the end of Thriller.

When night comes to those who wonder,

and he was offered the choice of twenty thousand dollars or points on the album

and

without even thinking he was like twenty thousand he took the twenty he took the twenty thousand and then it became one of the biggest selling album of all time and he was constantly trying to call michael jackson going and like calling the house going like let's do the other deal to renegotiate um and um michael jackson wouldn't reply

but i feel like

if you're doing something on a song with the most popular pop star,

no, he's not the most popular pop star at the time.

He wasn't.

That's the thing, because Thriller was a thriller made him.

People did not expect that to be a huge problem.

That was one of the first ones.

No, no, no, no.

He was a known quantity, and of course

he'd had hits.

He'd had hits and stuff, but he, but Off the Wall was the previous record, and it was fine.

It did good, but it was not.

Like, he was successful, but nobody could have, nobody was anticipating that this album was going to be the gigantic

hit that it was.

So anyway, he's why you got to write a Halloween.

I mean, off the wall was fine.

20K sounds good.

When news came out

in cash, when news came out of Michael Jackson settling all of the lawsuits against him, his famous line is: Michael Jackson fucked me and I didn't get paid for it.

He said that?

That's absolutely right.

If I were Vincent Price and I'm doing the famous rap from Thriller,

and it's so creepy and scary,

the funk of 40,000 years.

I would say, you pay me in cash and you put it in a briefcase shaped like a little coffin.

Yeah.

Oh, that would be so awesome.

Oh, my God.

There used to be a candy that came in like a little coffin.

It was the little bones.

Yes, I remember this.

Absolutely.

That's so awesome.

We had fun back then.

We had fun back then.

Yeah.

And now

kids could embrace death.

Yeah.

Now everybody's got to be so scared about it.

Baby gates.

We had to

sort of explain death to emmy the other day or it just kind of came up because she was looking at old pictures and pictures of my dad came up and she was like where is he where's he been where's this yeah where has he come around lately yeah and it was like oh well he's not with us anymore and she was like why where is he and it was like uh

we were not scared actually yeah i guess probably was around that age when we had that first conversation with her and it was like then she just kept asking questions about that person and I was like this is really sad when a little baby's asking things like this yeah yeah your dad got to meet Emmy though right yeah he was around for a year okay that's dumb

and uh

uh shout out I you know I don't shout out to your dad shout out to my dad first of all up there in or wherever he is who knows do you think my dad and your dad are meeting in heaven dude they're hosting a podcast

they're doing their own freedom are you that would be wild that would be awesome with one of your

fucking dead relatives.

My grandpa.

Sure.

Yeah, he'd love to talk about whatever they're into.

What was your grandpa like?

He was great.

He was a detective.

Really?

Like, private?

He worked for the

police department.

Wow.

He was a he flew planes in the are in the war.

Which one?

DOS.

Which plane?

And

he enjoyed flying small a small plane in after that for many years.

Sure.

And he would make model planes.

This guy was playing crazy.

Yes.

And

he was great.

You know?

Did you know him?

How old were you when he died?

I was almost 30.

Oh, okay.

So you got to spend some time with him.

Yeah.

But my grandma passed

just a few years ago.

And no, I must have been like 25, 26 when my grandma died.

Story changes.

Well, I'm trying to think about

the math on this.

Yeah, I asked Lauren.

No, no, he was at my

dad.

No,

I was past 30.

Now you're even older?

Well, he was at my

wow.

Okay.

You almost got married to him accidentally.

I was confused.

And whoever was in a tux, I thought, well, let's just go ahead and see what happens.

I thought this is what we were all supposed to wear.

Yeah.

But yeah, both my grandparents, I mean, all my grandparents lived to to be pretty old.

That's great.

My grandma lived to be very old.

Mine did not.

My grandmothers lived to be old, but my grandfathers did not.

And I did not meet them.

You didn't, oh, like they were that young.

Yeah.

Wow.

I mean, when I see pictures of them, it's like, these are not young men.

But like the style is so

different.

Like, I think it's a very small thing.

Everyone smoking was like.

Everyone's smoking.

Yeah, my grandfather

was smoking.

Everyone smoked.

All the older people smoked in my family.

And then, like, they all quit at a certain point.

And my grandpa quit smoking, which is actually, it's very impressive to be like pretty old and being like, you know what?

I'm not going to do this thing that's like pleasurable.

I mean, if you make it that long,

it's sort of like, I guess I'll ride it out.

Yeah.

My stop now.

Yeah.

But no, it's good.

It's like Michael Douglas with a sex addiction.

Well, he got cancer from it.

He did get cancer from it from licking

beef.

Why?

Why?

Allegedly.

I don't think that's even allegedly.

That's what he did.

No, no, he said it.

He said

it is true.

It's straight from the horse's mouth, if you know what I mean.

I think at that point, you're happy to say that that's what happened.

Yeah.

Married to a beautiful woman?

When you're in love with a beautiful woman, you're going to get through cancer.

He attributed his cancer to human

papilloma.

Papilloma.

It's HPV, a sexually transmitted infection.

He attributed it to it.

It got

just said nothing.

He said, I have broke cancer.

There was a little number one next to it.

And then at the bottom of his conversation, it said HPV.

But you're also, you're throwing your wife under the bus.

You know what I mean?

Yes, exactly.

By the way, Particia herself.

No one's asking you how you got cancer.

But so many people have HPV, and it's normal.

It can have no symptoms.

It actually did a great service to the world so he's a hero

what service did it do it led it led people to use dental dams yep everyone uses them now dental dams

and it revitalized the dental dam industry dental dam

what song is that it's dental dams that's dental

dam feels like they could go like

one step further with figuring out a solution for that if you really want to use something

uh is it just like a piece of cuterlingus?

Tinfoil.

But Trader Joe's won't sell it.

I'm sorry, we can't do it tonight.

I was at Trader Joe's, and guess what?

They don't have

they don't have dental dams.

So I guess we're going to have to just lie here and jerk off next to each other.

Paul.

Are you happy?

Yes, I'm very happy.

You're sick, man.

Is this what you wanted?

You're sick, Paul.

Is this what you wanted from me?

Paul, you're sick.

You're sick.

You're sick as a dick.

Sick as a brick and sick as a dick.

I saw a personalized license blade the other day that was just J.

Toll.

Jethro Tull?

He fucking laughed out loud.

Band or the Dickens?

Yeah.

Band or the Dickens.

Isn't it Dickens?

I don't think so.

What?

Jethro Tull?

It is like some old folk thing or something.

I don't think it's Dickens.

You're right.

Heap is Dickens.

Oh, you're right.

You're right.

Jethro Tull is a man.

Jethro Tull, I'm sorry, is an actual man.

Yeah.

He's an agriculturist.

No, Jethro Toll is not a classic rock person.

It is, but they named it.

That's where they got this name.

Oh, I thought that was a guy.

They named after a guy?

Wait, Alabama?

Isn't that a band?

That's a band, not a state.

They named their band after one agriculturalist.

Yes.

Isn't that weird?

Look, people are weird.

Look, Leonard Skinny.

What's that named after?

Named after a gym teacher.

True.

What?

It's true.

Not a gymnasium teacher, a teacher named Jim.

All right.

His name was Jim, but his name was Leonard Synner.

His name was Jim Leonard Skinner.

But so it it was a gym teacher's name was Leonard Hinton.

Leonard.

Okay.

Yeah, they changed the

first diort.

Yeah, for a lot of fun.

Every time they would say it, they would go,

hey, it's like we're saying it weird.

Molly Hatchett.

Yeah.

Fran Ferdinand?

I guess it, well, yes, sure.

It must have been exciting for Jethro Tull.

I wish he had lived to see.

What a year was he around.

This notes running down my nose.

If only he'd seen that.

He died hundreds of years before.

But the idea.

Call it whatever you want.

This is Jethro Tull riding around in his car.

It was very funny too.

I like to think that hundreds of years after we die, someone will name a band after all of us or whatever.

They go, we're Scott Ackerman.

Yep.

I hate the idea that my name will be spelled wrong, which will absolutely happen.

Yeah, that's tough.

Thonkins.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thal F.

Thonkins.

Thalthonkins.

Thonkins.

Thal F.

Thonkins.

Thal F.

Let me get a lot of your whale tales.

Thong.

Thong.

You've seen it.

Your eyes would be equalized.

What if you got this surgery and then they wheel a TV like the equalizer and you're like, whoa,

All right.

His first time seeing the equalizer without without glasses.

You need to get that going.

Okay, okay.

Because the deadline is your birthday, which is now like a couple weeks away.

Yeah,

Yeah, something like that.

Shit, yeah, get it going.

Maybe it's maybe it's uh available right now.

I do have some time coming up, yeah, okay, yes, okay.

All right, we're gonna come right back with a very exciting thing that's going to happen.

Cooler temps are rolling in.

Doo-da-da-da.

And as always, Quince is where I'm turning for fall staples that actually last from cashmere to denim to boots.

I've seen you so furious.

I'm mad, but I'm getting happier.

The quality holds up, and the price still blows me away.

Quince has the kind of fall staples you'll wear non-stop.

Like super soft, 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters, starting at $60.

I got to ask you about their denim.

Okay, well, their denim's durable and it fits right.

What about leather jackets?

They are real, and they bring that clean, classic edge without the elevated price tag.

Sounds good.

What makes Quince different?

Hey, everyone.

Oh, hey.

Well, they partner directly with Ethical Factories and skip the middlemen.

So you get top-tier fabrics and craftsmanship at half the price of similar brands.

Can I hear some personal experience from you?

Because I'm still a little skeptical for some reason.

Well, one of my favorite pieces from Quince is their 100% Merino wool all-season short-sleeve tee.

Now, I've been trying to incorporate more natural fibers into my wardrobe, as I'm telling you all the time.

And wool totally fits the bill.

It's naturally heat regulating so it helps keep you warm in winter, cool in summer.

The perfect thing for this in-between season.

Now I've been wearing mine so much I just ordered one in another color.

I want to keep it classic and cool this fall.

Do you have any suggestions?

You should do that with long-lasting staples from Quince.

Go to quince.com slash threedom for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns.

No, that's good.

How do you spell it?

365 day returns is amazing because if if you're like me, sometimes you forget to return something.

Yes, and

you miss the window.

Like 200 days in, you might be like, I got to return.

Honestly, I've done that before.

That's quince.com/slash threedom.

Free shipping and 365 days returns.

There's so much advice out there, and all we want to do as parents is get it right.

The great news is you're the expert on your child.

And sometimes figuring out what they need is as simple as getting them to talk.

I'm Dr.

Susan Swick, a child and adolescent psychiatrist, and I'm also a mother of four.

On my new podcast, Talk Aboutable, I'll hear from parents about what's keeping them up at night, and we'll figure out how to tackle it by talking about it.

From Lemonada Media, Talk Aboutable is at September 9th.

Follow wherever you get your podcasts.

We're back, and boy, I mentioned something exciting was going to happen.

And I was, I mean, I was kind of lying.

I was kind of lying, but then Lauren set everything up and I was like, I was lying, but I accidentally told the truth.

It kind of is exciting, isn't it?

Yeah.

So we're going to do a cola taste test.

This is a vintage cola selection.

Now, if you'll recall, in one of our previous episodes, we did the Pepsi challenge.

I'm talking.

If you'll recall.

No, we did the Pepsi challenge because Lauren was

sure she could tell.

Lauren, it was not the spirit of the Pepsi challenge.

Yeah, I got it confused, I think.

We were supposed to say which one we liked best, and Lauren just said, this one is Coke.

I still think I'm right.

You were right.

That's not a dispute.

You knew which one was Coke.

I still think I handled it right.

The idea of the Pepsi challenge was, I'm a lifelong Coke drinker.

You're never going to get me off drinking Coke.

And then they put the Cole list down and they say, which one do you like better?

And you're like, well, this one, obviously, it's my friend Coke.

I love it.

And they go, that's Pepsi.

And then you're like, I have to go kill myself.

Yeah, because I can't believe I didn't know that.

But my point is,

I want to say this is my favorite and it's Coke.

Yes, no, you said that in the thing: you said, you said, this one, I know this one is Coke.

And then we said, yeah, but which one do you like better?

And you were like, this one, because it's Coke.

All right.

So so what happened was I went to Galco's, which I mentioned on a previous episode.

What is Galco's?

It is a soda pop shop in Highland Park, Los Angeles.

Yuma Soda Pop.

Yes.

Yuma Soda Pop.

Yuma Soda Pop from K-pop Demon Hunters.

Come on.

By the way, we haven't seen it yet.

It's actually a very fun part.

We've heard.

We were in the library.

We were in the library the other day, and Emmy just got a character from K-pop Demon Hunters on her t-shirt.

And I guess she bought the t-shirt that already had it on.

And

she went out shopping.

And a little girl in the library, who, by the way, turned out to be the daughter of someone that

we know,

was like pointed at it and said, oh my gosh.

And Emmy said, it's K-pop Demon Hunters.

And the little girl said, I have that on my TV too.

That's really cute.

It was very cute.

Well, Well, so Galco's is a soda pop shop, and it's really fun to go.

I've been in there years ago.

I think it was during the pandemic.

I went in there, and it was, so I haven't been there since then.

I kind of forgot what the vibe is.

It's like a little, small grocery store.

It feels like you're walking back in time, especially because when I walked in, you went, you walked through one of those Colin Farrell doors?

Yes.

Yeah.

And you were 15 again?

I was 15 and I felt everything I felt.

There was like nobody visibly there, like working.

People did start to emerge from other rooms.

Can the ghouls touch you?

Or they're not allowed to?

No, because you could punch them.

You know, that happens.

I think they get three punches in the face before they get to go home or something like that at like a haunted house.

Queen Mary, there's something like that where, like, if the person gets hit by a passenger, like multiple times, they get to go home.

They get to go home.

Wow.

People are so surprised they punch you in the face.

Not when I was working at Knott's Berry Farm Halloween Haunt.

You get punched all night.

I was security, but my friend was a monster.

I like that it's phrased like you want to get punched three times in the face, yeah, yeah,

so close.

So, I only got punched twice in the face.

You walk in and they're playing

50s music, which I love 1950s, yeah, pretty little angel light, pretty little angel,

baby,

like ball at the bar,

ball with the ball.

And they sell all types of vintage and rare sodas, and they also sell vintage candies.

My question for vintage candies is: who's making them, or are these old?

Well, that was my question about vintage sodas.

No, but these are all, they're definitely producing, these are companies that are producing them, so I guess I'm producing them new.

Yeah, yes, this is a good question.

I wonder.

I wonder.

Yeah.

And maybe next time I'll.

Wonder.

What am I, Galcos?

What?

Okay, so I picked out four colas

for us to test and just see if we like them.

Which one's our favorite?

And they're all things I've never had before and never heard of.

In the previous

cola test that we did, my favorite was Boylans.

I have it written right here because I asked you about it on a previous episode and I meant to get some.

You've kept it on there for that long.

I don't know where to get it.

On your drawer.

I also have Destination Divorce.

We can get it there.

You probably can get it.

Because that was a good idea.

You can get Galcos, but I don't know for sure.

Okay.

You can get Boylans at Gelson's.

Oh, great.

Oh, really?

Just at Gelson's.

Wow.

They do not sell it

in bulk, like with the rest of the sodas.

It is in the

fridge.

One sip at a time.

Yeah, I bought a soda bulk.

It was a whole bottle.

I think we should have a little bit of a bottle.

Whole bottle.

Whole bottle.

Take your number one

on the left, and let's take a sip.

Severance, crazy.

Gotta say, I like the smell of it before.

I like the smell too.

It's got a lovely nose.

Okay.

Pretty good.

It's good.

And I, this is going to make that is good and it's familiar to me, but I mean, it's cola.

Do you like Coke better than this?

I don't know, actually.

You don't know.

Okay, we'll figure, we'll figure this out.

Um, that was good.

That was pretty good.

Do you know what it reminds me of?

Should I say or no?

Sure, yeah.

Because we don't know what any of these are, so it's not like Laura knows.

Unless you say what it is.

It reminds me of RC.

Oh my God, RC really takes me back to being my grandfather.

I love an RC every once in a while.

I would always be really upset when we would get RC because I thought it was a sign that we were poor, and we were.

But you know what I mean?

Like,

I was like, come on, can't we just get Coke?

Like, that's the

at least get President Select in the red.

No, President Select is worse than RC.

I know, but you could fool people.

Okay.

Number two.

All right.

I don't like that.

It's, you know what?

It's great coming in, but not as good going down.

You already pissed it out.

Yeah, it's kind of funky.

I piss my pants.

Lauren, you're texting us.

I just sent you something for later.

This one doesn't taste that much.

What did you text it?

I didn't even

thank the other one.

It tastes like that.

That one I don't, I would say, no.

Number one is my favorite so far.

Okay.

Okay.

Number three.

You could take a little sip of something else if you need some water.

Interesting, but it doesn't taste like cola.

No, I don't think this is good.

It tastes like licorice.

Hmm.

Ugh.

Ugh.

I can't wait to.

No, of course you're going to drink the rest of that later.

No, you're never going to drink it.

You're never going to drink it.

Okay, let's do.

Let's do number four.

Ooh, I don't like that.

It's like medicine.

That tastes like fucking shit.

Maybe we shouldn't say what that one is.

They're really rare, as far as I can tell.

Whoever invented this is long dead.

Number one is the winner.

100%.

I think number one's the winner.

I didn't mind number two, though.

Let me tell you what these brands are.

Number one is Dublin Vintage Cola.

Dublin Vintage Soda.

Yeah.

Up the raw.

That was good.

The number two, which we did not enjoy.

We thought it tasted, what do we think?

It tasted better.

No, number two is not bad.

I know we like number two.

That's called Spiffy.

It's a

swell cola drink.

Fun name.

Since 1934.

Number three, we did not particularly enjoy.

That one's in quotes, Mr.

and not quotes, cola.

and in quotes aristocrat of colas since 1948.

I love shit like that.

Yeah, oh, and number four is very looks very German or something.

It's nickel cola, n-i-c-h-o-l-k-o-l-a.

It looks like sweet.

G-T-F-O, Nicole Cola.

Yeah, we didn't like that one.

We didn't like that one.

But

America's taste sensation, that one says.

Oh, no.

Bottled under the authority of something from 1936.

I didn't like that that one.

So, Dublin is the winner.

Dublin vintage.

We all

have a little sip.

Yeah, I'll sell that label for you.

Here,

Lauren's walking out of the room

somehow.

Lauren's a big fat joint out of her purse.

Oh, what a cute label.

They're all really cute.

Spiffy's cute, too.

Oh,

look at a little Spiffy.

He's a

label.

Really fun activity, you know, if you have a place like that in your town to go get a little random selection.

Move to a town that does have

a cola looks very brutalist.

I know, yeah.

Kind of doesn't make me

post this on our internet.

Mr.

Cola has that kind of like

what do you call that type of typeface?

Gothic.

Where it's,

I don't know, I don't want to say.

Almost white supremacist.

Yeah.

Dublin's by far the best.

Always made with pure cane sugar.

Maybe that's the secret.

Always.

Oh, pure cane sugar

from Hawaii.

Making in the sun.

It says, Welcome to Dublin, Texas.

Now, that surprised me.

I thought we might be getting a foreign beverage.

Yeah, I thought this might have been in Dublin Bobby Works since 1891 in Dublin, Texas.

Hey, good on you, Dublin, Texas.

Good job.

It's the oldest cola we have here.

That's the oldest one.

Wow.

They know what to do with it.

Yeah, it's fun.

It's really fun.

I wish that we had some boilings so I could really.

I wish we had some boilings.

Now, what do you think about compared to Coke?

I wish I was big.

This actually tastes a lot like Coke to me.

But I also don't drink Coke ever.

You never drink Coke anymore?

You had such an opinion on it.

Well, because I know all that.

I used to drink a lot of pop in my day.

It's like, what?

Are you going to watch the equalizer every day for the rest of your life?

Yeah.

No.

You're going to try other equalizers.

But I liked this.

How often do you have a Coke nowadays?

I was really wanting one the other day because I was so tired.

And it was the middle of the afternoon.

I usually try not to drink any caffeine after noon or whatever because I won't be able to get to sleep.

But I was just like, I'm going to fall asleep.

And I, and we usually have some.

And I looked around the house and there was nothing.

And I was dying.

And I was like, I don't want to have hot coffee.

So you know what I did?

I just sat there in my own filth.

And I just

deserve it.

You just took a shit.

I drink, I I still drink soda,

but I drink like diet soda.

It's too much.

I just like it, though.

But you don't like sparkling water?

No, I don't.

Yeah.

I don't.

It's too salty.

Hmm.

I never feel satiated.

Never feel satiated.

Well, I've googled multiple times.

Is it as good as water?

I know, and they say it is.

And they say it is.

And I don't believe that.

I don't feel like it is.

I don't believe that.

I think if I ran a race and I drink a sparkling water, I'm not going to feel as good as if I just drank a race.

Is it as good for thirst quenching or is it as good for hydrating?

Because hydrating, I could see it's fine for hydrating.

But maybe the bubbles.

But thirst quenching, like that feeling of I'm not thirsty no more.

If you're running a race, maybe the bubbles would make you fart and you'd go faster.

So I should drink it during the race?

Yeah.

All right, I'll pop a LaCroix during my next race and see if I fart faster and run faster.

You don't need to fart fast.

Fart harder.

Fart harder.

Harder, smarter.

Faster.

I mean, what about the shitting yourself?

That doesn't give you any speed?

I think it does.

I mean, it might drag you down.

Well, you just

lose a few ounces when they're running from a predator.

Right.

Do animals shit while they're running?

Some do, yeah.

Definitely.

Consider them.

Yeah, yeah.

Definitely.

Is that where a scared shit list comes from?

Yeah.

Wow.

Because the fear makes you shit.

Consider the cheetah.

Consider the cheetah.

Consider the cheetah.

Consider the cheetah.

At home.

And the jungle.

Well, that was fantastic.

And wasn't that really fun?

From what I understand, you have more.

I do have another round for next time.

For next episode.

a different type of drink.

Whoa,

hold up.

Whoa.

The next episode.

Right.

Right.

Smoke weed every day.

And they would say.

Smoke weed every day.

And they would do it on the radio.

They'd go, smoke every day.

They would not say weed every day.

Which is worse, I think.

Yeah, smoke cigarettes.

That's fine to say.

And I always kind of thought they were saying smoke DVD.

Smoke

DVD.

Speaking of Jim Jarmouge, I just got smoke on DVD.

Smoke.

DVD.

Guys, that's going to do it.

Good.

This episode.

I'm glad.

But the next episode is going to have this different drink.

It's going to blow minds how different it is.

It's going to change hearts.

Whoa.

You both knew that it would.

Is there anything that we need to be talking about in terms of plugging things?

You know what?

No, I'm just doing my thing.

Paul, do you have a

Variatopia coming up?

Bear in mind, this comes out on August 28th.

Yes, September 28th.

Is it the 20th or 21st?

Now I'm fucking out of my mind.

You are out of your mind.

Damn it.

You're wearing a straitjacket.

It's the 21st.

September 21st, Sunday, September 21st, 7 p.m.

Pacific, Lodge Room in Highland Park, or live streaming to the world, variatopia.com.

That's fantastic.

I have nothing to promote.

Sorry.

Nothing's going on with me.

I'm going to start working soon, and I'm so excited to have a job.

That's fun.

I'm doing an acting job right now, which I imagine will be my final acting job.

And

I'm going through forced retirement.

Are you like an incel for jobs?

I just want an incel for a new job.

You're an in

re.

We close it out, as we always do, with Jess McKenna singing the CNH.

Oh, and I love this what she does this.

Did we do this last time?

Hi, Paul, Lorne, and Scott.

Hi, Freedom Listeners.

Here's CNH.

CNH, CNH.

My mom uses it to make her cakes.

It makes the greatest cookies, snacks, and candy.

They're dandan dandy.

Island kids all love the cane.

It grows so clean and sweet.

They eat it when it's freshly cut, and then that's quite a treat.

Meat, touched by sun, kissed by rain.

CNH comes from the sugar cane.

It makes the greatest cookies, snacks, and candy in the bright pink package.

Thank you so much.

Jess, bye, everybody.

Bye.
