Threevisiting: I Wanna Go Turtle Turtle

Speaker 1 A

Speaker 1 G1,

Speaker 1 right?

Speaker 1 If you know, you know, right? It's just like being in group seven.

Speaker 1 AG1, it's not just another supplement, it's a daily micro habit that supports whole body health in one scoop. In fact, it's a way of life.
Let me take you through a typical day for me, right?

Speaker 1 Okay, so I'm waking up, smashing my AG1, right? And then it is go time, baby. Done with groggy afternoons now that it's getting darker earlier.

Speaker 1 Trying to trick my brain into going asleep every five minutes. No.

Speaker 1 Superfoods and B vitamins support steady energy without the crash. And no matter how hard the holiday diet hits, you know I'm staying as finely tuned as a luxury timepiece.

Speaker 1 Prebiotics, probiotics, postbiotics, mid-biotics. If it's biotic, I'm taking it.
They help support regularity and gut resilience.

Speaker 1 If you care about wellness and, well, Ness, you should, if your name is Ness, like Elliot Ness, you'll

Speaker 1 be just like,

Speaker 1 what's that? Tupac song. Never mind.
Anyway, you will definitely want to check out AG1.

Speaker 1 Seriously, I was never much of a supplement guy until I figured out what AG1 was all about, and it completely changed the game. I honestly feel better than ever.

Speaker 1 It's us, the neighborhood guy! We do

Speaker 1 the tickety tackety hickory back.

Speaker 3 Do you think he's on TikTok with his hickory dick?

Speaker 1 You think Andrew Dice Clay?

Speaker 3 Do you think you can do that TikTok? Because he's got to get on a hickory dick with that. His jokes are succinct.
People want to see him 15 seconds or less. You got it.

Speaker 1 He was back around. It's come back around that kind of humor, and you don't have to pretend you're a character anymore.
Right. It can just be the way you feel.
Right.

Speaker 3 Social chopping broccoli.

Speaker 1 Hey, welcome, Ms. Reed.

Speaker 1 I'm Paul F. Tompkins.
I'm Scott Auckerman.

Speaker 3 I'm Lauren Lepkis.

Speaker 1 Yes. And this is the show where three people talk at the same time and tell the same story.
Yes, and they're about to show up, so we got to get out of here. Oh,

Speaker 1 no. Oh, my God.
I'm kidding. They're right behind me, aren't they?

Speaker 3 How are you guys doing?

Speaker 1 Doing good. Doing good.
I got to say,

Speaker 1 since our talk about our New Year's resolutions,

Speaker 1 I've worked out three times since last episode.

Speaker 3 Hey, that's great.

Speaker 3 That was only a week.

Speaker 1 And it was not because they were New Year's resolutions. It was because they set up a photo shoot for when the book comes out.

Speaker 3 Does this mean we can get some pictures taken for us soon?

Speaker 1 Oh!

Speaker 1 When you do your photo, you guys can get in the background.

Speaker 3 Get in the background and get some freebies.

Speaker 1 You could photo bomb them. That would be great.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 That would be great. Well, speaking of resolutions, I'm on my fourth book.

Speaker 1 Whoa, which one? I'm excited.

Speaker 3 I just started Less is Lost by Andrew Sean Greer. I read Less when it first came out a couple years ago.
That's did I? And it's so good. Yes.
It's a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Sounds stupid.

Speaker 3 No, it's the opposite. Really? It's actually very smart.

Speaker 1 What are you basing that on? Yeah. Just like the title and like with the way you said, it was a Pulitzer Prize.

Speaker 1 Oh, no, it's great. That was a great thing.

Speaker 3 Well, you know what's great about the book is like in Less, he's talking about the Pulitzer Prize.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And

Speaker 3 this book ends up winning the Pulitzer Prize.

Speaker 1 How very metatexual. I know.
It's really great. He really manifested that.

Speaker 3 He He really did. Is this Hood of Vision Board?

Speaker 1 So, wait, so this is a sequel? It is a sequel. Is it like Empire Strikes Back where it's better than the original, maybe?

Speaker 3 I think there's a chance, you know, Paul would know because he's read both.

Speaker 1 It is like the Empire Strikes Back in that it takes place on a swamp planet. Oh, right.

Speaker 3 And is it full of like aliens and stuff?

Speaker 1 I don't want to spoil it for you. Okay.
But just I've only read one page.

Speaker 1 Is it aliens everywhere? Yeah. It's teenage Yoda.

Speaker 1 Oh my God. Okay, that's funny.
He's got pimples. We've seen baby.
We've seen old.

Speaker 1 we've seen baby we've seen old now we need team team give us something we can fold give us something we can fold dooda it's warm in here oh do you want me to turn down uh the temperature

Speaker 3 i'm perfectly fine but if it was colder i wouldn't be upset okay

Speaker 1 so

Speaker 1 you want me to leave i'm understanding and go over

Speaker 1 oh full stop i'll do it is your sweatshirt from american apparel back in the day no it's not but i get why you would think that yeah it's just a

Speaker 3 run-of-the-mill purple sweatshirt.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's all. I think I'm going to go.
I got it from the Grimmace merch store.

Speaker 1 I used to have that one, is what I'm saying. Oh, did you really? From my back arrow.
I had purple. I got to say, I was listening to that.
You were eavesdropping. Boring as hell.

Speaker 3 Okay, so thanks for coming back so you could help it out.

Speaker 1 Yeah, sure. Sure, whatever you got.
Let's goose this up a little bit.

Speaker 1 So, where did you really get this from? Scott, what book are you reading, if any?

Speaker 3 Yeah, right?

Speaker 1 Speaking of dumb. I told you I read the Steve Martin book, and then I got

Speaker 1 three other books for Christmas. I got Heat 2.

Speaker 1 Another sequel. Heat 2? Yeah.
The book? By Michael Mann. Yeah.
He wrote a sequel to it. What is he doing?

Speaker 1 What is that guy quoting?

Speaker 1 Sounds like he's making bank. And the Chipmunk Trade.
He's fucking making bank on this book. People that love that movie, they're like, what? There's a sequel, but it's a potential.

Speaker 1 I hear it's good.

Speaker 3 Paul Shear did put

Speaker 3 it in a gift option on Ad to Ducarte. He was suggesting it over here.

Speaker 1 Mr. Taste.

Speaker 1 Mr. T is what he likes to call it.

Speaker 3 You know what I thought was really great? He had

Speaker 3 a brilliant idea

Speaker 3 on the podcast where he sat at Christmas time.

Speaker 3 What it really sounded like to me was that Paul was very on top of gifts in the household.

Speaker 3 He's kind of handling a lot of households.

Speaker 1 He's the opposite of me.

Speaker 3 Well, a lot of men, you know, don't do that in their relationship.

Speaker 1 Because our big dicks are in the way, also.

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, you're trying to wrap presents and it's just knocking.

Speaker 1 I'm trying to keep the world going.

Speaker 3 Well, that too.

Speaker 1 The world's economy.

Speaker 3 He had a great idea, which is that he bought a couple like versions.

Speaker 1 He bought a couple. A couple virgins? Put a couple virgins under the tree.

Speaker 3 It keeps everybody happy.

Speaker 3 He bought

Speaker 3 some games that he likes and they're just kind of crowd pleasers, wrapped them under the tree, unlabeled. Someone comes over with a gift for him.
He's like, I have a gift for you.

Speaker 3 It's all ready to go under the tree, wrapped in it.

Speaker 1 Oh, a gift that the person will like the game. Who are these people dropping by his place? Oh, that's what

Speaker 1 it is. Santa? part about that makes him feel a little special, I think, is that he's a bit, no one ever gives Santa.
I have a gift back. What?

Speaker 1 This has never happened before. I know this one.

Speaker 1 A shirt.

Speaker 1 Kulop, I think, got a lot of gift ideas from him because she gave me this

Speaker 1 game as well as a cenophile game or something. I can't remember what it's called, but I haven't cracked it open yet.
And

Speaker 1 three, I think, of the books were from his.

Speaker 3 Everything he said, she was like very much like, that's great for Scott. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I think it was the Quentin Tarantino book, maybe.

Speaker 1 I only remember the other. I heard it's one long sentence.
Is that true? Yeah. And it's all about feet.
Wow.

Speaker 1 At the end, fascinating. He says he loves them.
At the end of that sentence.

Speaker 3 At the end of one long sentence, he says, I love feet.

Speaker 1 And by the way, I love feet. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, and by the way, and it's on its own page. I love feet.
I love feet. And then he draws the ugliest foot you've ever seen.
You're like, that's the foot you love. They're all beautiful.

Speaker 1 Every foot.

Speaker 1 What was the Jesus loves little children? All the children in the world. Have you ever heard the song? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Never sung so beautifully, though. All the children in the world.

Speaker 1 They are yellow, black, or white. They are precious in his sight.

Speaker 1 Those are the three types. Yeah.
Yellow, black, or white.

Speaker 1 It's like a box of crayons.

Speaker 1 The worst box of crayons.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 I have yellow, black, and white. The white crayon is the the one.
I do have a white crayon. I guess I could draw the sun and outline it.

Speaker 3 It is an annoying crayon, but it's the one I would like Holly to carry around the most because she does draw on the walls. Right.

Speaker 1 She draws on the walls? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Why do you have to?

Speaker 1 Why don't you spank her?

Speaker 3 I find it later. It's like I find

Speaker 3 in the room and then I'm like, oh, there's fucking crayon all over the.

Speaker 1 By the way,

Speaker 1 I have decided to reclaim spankings.

Speaker 1 Okay, this is a horrible idea. I give Emmy spankings when she's good.
So I'm trying to teach her that they're good.

Speaker 3 Okay, you're taking back the word and making it positive.

Speaker 1 I say, you are so good today. I'm not going to give you this.

Speaker 1 Is crayons very hard to get off the wall? Is crayons very hard to get off the wall?

Speaker 3 Magic eraser.

Speaker 1 I'll take that, right? Hey, Yahoo! Is crayons very hard to get off the wall? I love a magic eraser.

Speaker 1 I love magic anything.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I'm a big fan of magic.
People

Speaker 1 flying carpet. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Love it. Wand.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Rabbit. Magic wand, yeah.
Magic rabbit.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, he does magic to the rabbit. Mushroom? Yes.

Speaker 3 This is like a fun game that I feel like.

Speaker 1 XXL. I'm not able to play.
My brain isn't working.

Speaker 1 You can think of words that follow magic. Did you ever have a magic set when you were young?

Speaker 1 Oh, you just love anything castle. Hello, can't it? FM.

Speaker 1 I didn't have a magic set. You never wanted to be.
No, you know what I mean? Did you ever want to be a puppeteer, a magician, or any kind of like artistic, like, hey, look at the juggler.

Speaker 1 No, that really wasn't

Speaker 1 how I operate. Are we not raising our young girls to want to be magicians and jugglers? I think we're really pushing that on men.
I, I really think we need men with ponytails. Women magicians.

Speaker 3 Why do men with ponytails want to juggle so bad?

Speaker 1 I don't know.

Speaker 1 I didn't realize that was a thing.

Speaker 3 It's definitely true. They love hacky sack.
They love juggling.

Speaker 1 Definitely true.

Speaker 3 They love to do magic with their wand.

Speaker 1 I guess I'm thinking of

Speaker 1 like professional

Speaker 1 magicians or people like that. But I feel like

Speaker 1 they have the ponytail more seldomly.

Speaker 3 They don't have room to have a ponytail because they're whipping around.

Speaker 1 They can't have their hair getting in the way. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Have a hair in their mouth when they're doing their trick.

Speaker 1 Can you imagine? No. If somebody's doing an intricate magic trick and then they're just going

Speaker 1 I know.

Speaker 3 I know.

Speaker 1 I went to where they have like a wet hair on their cheek.

Speaker 3 That's disgusting. Why is it wet?

Speaker 1 Because it was in his mouth. Oh my God.
I went went to drama school with a guy who

Speaker 1 is he on the phone i had to send something for work to someone and i did it very surreptitiously

Speaker 1 hey whenever i'm telling lauren to shut up okay good work text

Speaker 1 wow um it worked but he had he had long hair that he who i forgot the beginning this guy i went to drama school with he had long hair that he would put into a ponytail and he wanted to be a magician and but he was in acting school and we were always sort of like you're obviously a magician.

Speaker 1 I think

Speaker 3 acting is going to be helpful to doing magic.

Speaker 1 True. And what did he do? He ended up being a magician.
Well,

Speaker 1 Andrew Goldenhirsch. Do you remember him? Yeah, I do.
Yeah, I like him. Now, he had long hair.
He did have long hair. He was not a ponytail guy.
He had beautiful, long,

Speaker 1 curly hair that you love to run your fingers through. You do? Yeah.
After the show, he would sit on stage, and everybody could come up and run their fingers through his hair. That's so distinct.

Speaker 1 He would end his shows like this. Yeah.
I know you want to. And he would sit on the chair.
And he wouldn't even say what you wanted to do.

Speaker 3 Oh, see,

Speaker 3 I want him to lay at the edge of the stage with his hair dangling off the stage and kind of waterfall through it.

Speaker 1 Well, sometimes they would raise the stage like that up past the people's heads. Okay.
So people could just reach up and do that. Oh, why do they have to reach up?

Speaker 1 Like, why can't they do it at level or look down at him? They initially never worked. He would lay across two chairs, but they were just like wooden chairs that hurt his back.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he put it in his rider, you have to get me a special padded bench to lay on so people can run there. And nobody read that far.

Speaker 3 Well, of course. After you've said you only want the horny MMs, people kind of stop reading.

Speaker 1 What is the MMs thing that everyone is all up in arms about? Because there's a possibly. There's an asexual M ⁇ M now.
Asexual in what way? No dick?

Speaker 3 They all have no dick.

Speaker 1 That's what I'm saying. They all have no dick.
No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 It's not like the old, though, the green one has.

Speaker 3 I thought it was an LGBTQ M ⁇ M or something. In what way? I saw a Fox News clip where they were going having a rant, but I don't know what was true.

Speaker 1 But I saw having a rant. I saw an MM commercial the other day and nothing seemed changed.

Speaker 3 How do I, I'm like,

Speaker 1 what's the personality of the purple M ⁇ M? We eat these things anyway. Is there a purple M ⁇ M?

Speaker 3 Introduces first new character in more than a decade, Purple. This was October 3, 2022.

Speaker 1 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 3 The new purple spokes candy is a peanut M ⁇ M designed to represent acceptance and inclusivity. The brand's

Speaker 3 probably anti-bullying or something? Hold on. The character's charm and quirky nature come from her keen self-awareness, authenticity, and confidence.

Speaker 1 Hold on, read more.

Speaker 3 She's really happy.

Speaker 1 She said hi.

Speaker 1 None of this sounds bad to me.

Speaker 3 Okay, so in January, they redesigned Green. So Green no longer had the boots, the heeled go-boots, but instead has cool laid-back sneakers to reflect her effortless confidence.

Speaker 1 She could have everless confidence in the go-bo boots. Can I here's the thing.
It's not that it's bad, that you know, inclusivity is bad. It's just why is this fucking candy?

Speaker 3 All right, there's more. There's more.
Okay, you have to hear this.

Speaker 3 The change came after Mars received criticism for Green's sexy characterization and said she would now represent confidence and empowerment as a strong female and known for much more than her boots.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 3 The company also changed the backstory to Green and Brown, the two women M ⁇ Ms. They now have a more friendly relationship, showcasing a force supporting women.

Speaker 1 Wait, so they were rivals before? I don't recall Brown being against Green. Here's why, here's why, here they get into trouble because

Speaker 1 they decided to have these characters in the first place, which are stupid. Right.
And then they decided to.

Speaker 3 I love them, and I want to voice all of them.

Speaker 1 And they're like,

Speaker 1 we didn't really think this through, I guess, that we didn't anticipate people saying, why is that one MM horny? Why don't they put out an advice?

Speaker 3 That's just fun.

Speaker 1 They should put out a purple. Oh, well, my favorite.
I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 This is so perfect. You should say that.
In announcing Purple, Mars put out an ad with the character singing an original song,

Speaker 3 Just Gonna Be Me. The song features four real-life artists: saxophonist Grace Kelly, dancers and choreographers Devin Santiago and Kolo Kag, and opera singer Anthony Roth Costanzo.

Speaker 3 Mars also launched Eminem's fund, the capital.

Speaker 1 Okay, here we go. This is the song, I'm Just Gonna Be Me.

Speaker 3 One dollar from every stream of this will go to Sing for Hope.

Speaker 1 Here we go. I'm the new

Speaker 1 one.

Speaker 1 I want to be the best or even pretty good.

Speaker 4 would be great.

Speaker 1 She's a little unsure.

Speaker 1 I have to admit.

Speaker 3 Just be yourself.

Speaker 1 And you can do it.

Speaker 1 That man in the plant seems to be a little bit more. That's a wrap on the opposite.

Speaker 1 I think it's time.

Speaker 1 Fuck the purple Eminem. I'm on Fox's side.

Speaker 3 I disagree wholeheartedly.

Speaker 3 I support the purple and I support Amber Ruffin.

Speaker 1 Paul loves it because he's purple today. I am purple today, and I'm going to do the best I can.
I have nothing against Amber Ruffin, of course.

Speaker 1 Nothing against Amber Ruffin, but he's one of the greatest.

Speaker 1 I think I'm on the record with this. I despise the Eminem characters.

Speaker 3 See, I think that they are my family. And I feel extremely connected to them.

Speaker 1 You have a family.

Speaker 3 But I feel that they are the

Speaker 1 foreign. An extended family.

Speaker 1 Nuclear family.

Speaker 3 I feel extremely connected to these characters. And when she changed out of the boots, I thought, where'd they go? You know, does she have a closet? Is she going to put them back?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Who's doing the voices of the other ones now?

Speaker 1 John Lovett. J.K.
Simmons. J.K.
Simmons replaced John

Speaker 1 Goodman. Did he? Yeah.
Why did that happen? Why did this happen? Why did he have to do that? John Goodman did the first round of ads, and then he was like, I don't want to do this anymore.

Speaker 3 He said he didn't want to?

Speaker 1 That's what I'm assuming. Don't you assume that? Why would you fire John Goodman?

Speaker 3 That's what I'm wondering. He's a good man.

Speaker 1 He's been around so long.

Speaker 3 So who's the red now?

Speaker 1 Time for some new blood. The red, I thought, was John Lovett's.
I don't know if if it's somebody different now. Do you want me to look this up? Yes, I do.

Speaker 1 Can you believe we're talking about MMs again? You know, we can't.

Speaker 3 Stop. I think we still have a taste test in order.
We have a lot of flavors we didn't get around to.

Speaker 1 There's one that's just ash.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's bold. It's the retired.
J.K.

Speaker 1 Simmons, yellow.

Speaker 1 Billy West, red. Oh, Billy West.

Speaker 1 That was good for him. John Goodman, yellow.
John Lovett's red. Vanessa Williams, brown.
Really? Vanessa Williams. Eric Kirchberger, orange.

Speaker 1 Okay. I'll take your word for it.

Speaker 3 This is like the opening credits.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Blue, Rob Pruitt.
Okay. So they really spent their money on John Goodman and J.K.
Simmons, and then they're just like.

Speaker 3 Oh, John Lovitz. I assume John Lovitz and I actually think Billy West would probably get a good amount of money.

Speaker 1 Green

Speaker 1 summer.

Speaker 1 No, Cree's amazing.

Speaker 3 Cree is green. Cree is one of the best

Speaker 1 in the world. Chocolate bar.
Phil Hartman. Chocolate bar.
This must have been years and years ago. Before they made Eminem's round?

Speaker 1 Who was it? Phil Hartman. Phil Hartman.
Played the chocolate bar? Chocolate bar. Oh, wait.
Someone we know. Caramel.

Speaker 1 Voiced by David Cross and one other.

Speaker 1 Okay, so it didn't even get to.

Speaker 1 When did Caramel get a chance?

Speaker 1 I don't know. Caramel, by the way, was square with David Cross-style glasses.
I remember that. The caramel is square? Caramel is square, but no candy coating.

Speaker 3 Was this like when, wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 1 Was this when Phil Hartman and David Cross came together to excuse me? Finally, they put aside their differences to burp? My throat is...

Speaker 3 It's actually my chest is burping. I just have to make it clear because you know how when you're burping, you can control it, but when it's here, you can't.

Speaker 1 I think I know what you mean. I think I know what you mean.

Speaker 3 Anyway, I think that they smashed the caramel and the and the bar together to make a caramel bar.

Speaker 1 But this just happened, and Phil Hartman's been dead for decades.

Speaker 3 When did that just happen? I'm saying it was decades.

Speaker 1 David Cross. No, David Cross just became the Karen.
Oh, he did? This is a recent thing. That's a recent thing? I believe.
Unless they reissue it.

Speaker 1 Unless they reissue it? Can you please, can you please Google the David Cross storage?

Speaker 1 We are fucking getting it done today.

Speaker 3 We are on top of it. We're on the ball.
Please look up that information on the screen.

Speaker 1 All right, here we go. This is.
Do we really have to choose him to be our next spokesperson?

Speaker 4 Seems like a good fit.

Speaker 1 But he's so boring. I'm yawning just talking about him.

Speaker 3 Well, it's our job to change that.

Speaker 1 Uh, guys, I think you can hear us.

Speaker 1 Hmm, sounds like you're on the fence. Why don't I just leave you my resume? Yes, it's laminated.

Speaker 1 No, thanks.

Speaker 1 Caramel has been square for far too long. Uh, ow? Try Caramel MMs.
Okay, so they. I see.
He's square.

Speaker 3 It was an origin story.

Speaker 1 And then they have candy coating that like surrounds him and entraps him. And then we eat him.
I love it.

Speaker 1 Great. And the other MMs.

Speaker 1 They want this to happen.

Speaker 1 The other MMs, like, we're hiring a new person to get, a new one of us to get eaten.

Speaker 3 Well, they want, they, you know, they need, they know they need to.

Speaker 1 They don't make sense. I hate them.

Speaker 3 They don't exist in the bags. They are a representation of a flavor.

Speaker 1 They're having sex with other MMs and creating these babies that we then eat. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, because we're eating their children.

Speaker 3 Yeah, because you don't ever see any one of them get bitten. This, to me, oh, there is one that gets bitten.

Speaker 1 This, to me, is like the movie Cars, in that there's such a fundamental problem with the concept that I can't get on board.

Speaker 3 Now, what's wrong with the movie Cars? Cars don't talk.

Speaker 1 That's a huge issue is for me. Number one.

Speaker 3 Number one and done. When I saw Findy Nemo, I thought

Speaker 1 this couldn't happen. Yeah.
The simple

Speaker 1 thing is that.

Speaker 1 A fish can't get lost. They don't remember.

Speaker 3 Toy Story, though, kind of works for me because I'm like, maybe they talk when I'm not looking.

Speaker 1 Toy Story, the main issue for me was at the beginning when that lamp bounced up and down, and I was like, I'm out.

Speaker 1 Wow, that was way early in the movie.

Speaker 3 That was like the first second.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And I was just like, fuck this.

Speaker 1 Wow. Their production card doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 3 What did you think was going to happen when you sat down?

Speaker 1 Well, I thought a lamp would be stationary and just sitting there.

Speaker 1 And maybe someone would turn it on.

Speaker 3 Have you seen The Brave Little Toaster?

Speaker 1 How Brave and How Little? And How Toast?

Speaker 1 I've never seen that. I've never seen any of those.
You know, I really loved it when I was little, and I will tell you. Doesn't hold up?

Speaker 1 Is that a Miyazaki? Is it? No, it can't hold up. No, I think it's okay.

Speaker 1 That's unpossible.

Speaker 1 You're saying a guy who can make a moving castle can't make a toaster brave? Nope.

Speaker 1 It's a filmed musical film directed by Jerry Reese.

Speaker 3 Based on the 1980 novella of the same name by Thomas M. Dish.

Speaker 1 Based on a novella? The Brave Old Toasta. Novella.
Shocking. Anyway, I remember I loved that movie and found it extremely calming as a child.

Speaker 3 And yeah, it just doesn't work.

Speaker 1 What appealed to you about it?

Speaker 3 I just thought it was sweet.

Speaker 1 The concept of being brave? Because you were such a fan of the

Speaker 3 characters. And yeah, I was afraid.

Speaker 1 I was afraid of you. Oh my God.
You don't. Okay, we're going to recap.
Oh, MILF Island.

Speaker 3 No, but I do need to see

Speaker 1 Milf Manor. Yeah, if you were worried that I wasn't watching it, let me just

Speaker 1 assuage your fears.

Speaker 3 Let me assume you watched that alone.

Speaker 1 I watched it with my daughter. Okay.

Speaker 3 You're like, your mommy's one of these.

Speaker 3 I'm watching Special Forces.

Speaker 1 Oh, I heard about this. Okay.

Speaker 3 I know somebody who was asked to be on that show.

Speaker 3 Really?

Speaker 1 No, I can't remember. You got to tell us during the break.

Speaker 3 But that show is actually taking me all different places emotionally. I was laughing, I was crying.
I've cried probably four times. There's been three episodes.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's

Speaker 1 one episode three times per episode.

Speaker 3 Damn. They are doing, they are pushing themselves to the brink.
Kate Goslin. I mean,

Speaker 3 we got Dr. Drew Pinski.
We got, we got.

Speaker 1 Okay, now I have to know why it is called special forces.

Speaker 3 So these are like celebrities.

Speaker 1 Yes. And Dr.
Drew after a fashion.

Speaker 3 Are taken to Jordan where they are

Speaker 3 on the

Speaker 1 angel Gabriel forces

Speaker 3 the training ground that the real special forces train on, and they have to do all sorts of challenges with no luxuries. And

Speaker 3 they're pushed to their breaking point.

Speaker 1 No clothes. They're naked the entire time.

Speaker 3 You lose people every episode, okay, for different reasons.

Speaker 3 Either like, it's usually like their,

Speaker 3 yeah, that's one of them.

Speaker 1 Injury. Treason.

Speaker 3 They don't kick you out.

Speaker 3 You just have to keep going. So basically, they say they don't kick you out.

Speaker 1 Just basically, they lose people because people are like, they can't take it anymore for a different reason. Really? So it could just go on forever.

Speaker 3 No, I mean, there's an end date.

Speaker 1 It's self-defense.

Speaker 3 And I think it's 10 days, but it's really hard.

Speaker 1 How many days would you last?

Speaker 3 I bet I could do it. I swear to God, watching the first episode, I was like, I'd be out.
No, I'll do all 10. Here's the first thing you have to do.
Here's the first thing you have to do.

Speaker 1 What? They hover a helicopter over the ocean. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 Over the ocean.

Speaker 3 You are in it. Then you stand.

Speaker 1 Oh, and you stand on the side of it.

Speaker 3 You lean off the side of it and you stand stick straight.

Speaker 1 And does your head get chopped off by the blades? Yes. No.

Speaker 3 And you cross your arms over your chest and you fall backwards as stick straight as possible because you will automatically fall headfirst down like a pencil into the water.

Speaker 1 And your head goes in the water? Yes. But if you

Speaker 1 bend.

Speaker 3 If you bend your body a little,

Speaker 3 you're slapping the fucking ocean, right?

Speaker 1 Slapping to ocean. Slapping to base, okay? You're slapping to base, and it hurts.
You're slapping. We had a neck injury first episode.

Speaker 1 Jesus Christ. Yeah, real bad.

Speaker 3 Well, I don't want to give it away.

Speaker 1 Why are these fucking bad? Give it away. Give it away.
Give it away.

Speaker 3 Skip 10 seconds if you don't want to know. Kate Gosselin.

Speaker 1 And she broke her neck. She broke her neck and she had to leave.

Speaker 3 And she was really upset because she really wanted to. She was so afraid of her.

Speaker 1 She was upset that she broke her neck.

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, but

Speaker 3 she was actually so afraid to go in the water that she was like, she couldn't believe, you know, she actually did do it.

Speaker 1 She did do it and broke her neck. You should be afraid of these things.

Speaker 3 You know, and there's a lot of really scary stuff that happens. Like, another really scary one is that they put you underwater in a like again with the water.
There's a lot of water.

Speaker 3 That's the stuff that's really sticking out to me because I'm most afraid of it. But you're in like a

Speaker 3 simulation of like a, it's like a Jeep that has all the windows out, but so it's, it's attached to chains.

Speaker 3 So it's your, you buckle in and you get lowered into the ocean and you have to hold your breath for 20 seconds and then they'll tap you and then you have to undo your seatbelt and swim out of the

Speaker 1 so all in all, you're holding your breath for probably 30, 21?

Speaker 3 No, probably 25 by the time you're out of there.

Speaker 1 How long do you think you can hold your breath? I think two seconds. I remember reading a Batman comic when I was young, where he was like, I can hold my breath for two minutes.

Speaker 1 And I was like, oh, that's what everyone should be able to do, right? Yeah. And then it's about, I think you can hold your breath for like what?

Speaker 3 How long can you do it?

Speaker 1 Eight seconds, maybe.

Speaker 1 So this there is

Speaker 3 an Olympic gym. Yeah, that's the panic.
Well, it's all the panic.

Speaker 3 It's all mind games because they're like physically, everyone here can do all of these things.

Speaker 1 Why don't they call it mind games? Yes. It's physical.

Speaker 3 But this

Speaker 3 Olympian, Nastya, what's her last name?

Speaker 1 Kamenic. Perosta.
No.

Speaker 3 But anyway, she was extremely, she's like, I can't hold my breath at all. At all.
It goes through this whole thing. She ends up doing it.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 3 But there is a twist to it, which I'll let you watch if you want to see. Okay.

Speaker 1 Well, this is amazing.

Speaker 3 It's honestly really good. Mike was like, I don't care.
You can put it on. I'm not going to pay attention.
I go, you'll be hooked.

Speaker 1 And he he was rivaling. And he was.
What was the Kate Winslet record on? Oh, yeah. And she was like, what? Saying that she was doing it for four minutes.

Speaker 1 She held her breath for an insane amount of time. Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I just saw it the other day. And A, you can't even tell who she is.
Right. So it was pointless.
Who cares? That's crazy.

Speaker 1 And B, the movie's bad. So it was pointless.

Speaker 3 Well, they're advertising it everywhere I look. It's on Jeopardy.
They're putting it into the questions. They're making it commercials.
I'm like, it's literally everywhere.

Speaker 1 I saw a poster for it on the way here, and the poster looks so dumb, it made me mad.

Speaker 3 I've never seen the first one.

Speaker 1 It's not. Look, we're sorry, Avatar lovers.
I'm not. Mike wants to be aware of that.
Homie, don't play that.

Speaker 1 Three hours long. Where's the homie the clown movie? Yeah, well, that's what we were saying.

Speaker 3 That is what people have been demanding.

Speaker 1 Look, we have to take a break. All right.
I don't make the rules. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 Listen, telephones, right?

Speaker 1 If you shorten it, it's just phones. We need them, right? We need to get in touch with the people we love, to Google what to do about the weird rash that's on our arms, right?

Speaker 1 Is that relatable to anyone else? To watch endless streams of TikToks as we try to fall asleep, but do we need expensive phone bills? No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 At Mint Mobile, their favorite word is no. No contracts, no monthly bills, no overages, no hidden fees, no BS.
That's

Speaker 1 BS stands for something. Don't look it up, kids.

Speaker 1 boy, these days, cold mornings, holiday plans, so much going on, right? Well, this is when I want my wardrobe to be simple.

Speaker 1 Stuff that looks sharp, feels good, and things that I will actually wear, not just put in my closet and be aspirational about, oh, that would be nice if I ever actually wore it. No.

Speaker 1 For me, that stuff comes from Quince. And the bonus, Quince pieces make great gifts, too.
This season's lineup is simple, but smart and easy with Quince. $50 Mongolian cashmere sweaters.

Speaker 1 They feel like an everyday luxury and wool coats that are equal parts stylish and durable. They're done, they're done,

Speaker 1 they're done.

Speaker 1 Am I right, folks? They're done.

Speaker 1 What I also want to say other than they're done is their denim nails the fit and everyday comfort all at a fraction of what you would expect to pay.

Speaker 1 By partnering directly with ethical factories and top artisans, Quince cuts out the middlemen. I hate middlemen.
God cut them out. To deliver premium quality at half the cost of other high-end brands.

Speaker 1 So you can give luxury quality pieces without the luxury price tag. You know what I got from Quince? You know, I love a blazer.
Quince's Cotton Peak Knit Blazer is what I got.

Speaker 1 It combines the coziness of a cardigan with the structure of a blazer. It's the kind of best of both worlds thing that I love.

Speaker 1 It can look great at any holiday function, especially in this great olive shade that they offer, which feels seasonal and sophisticated.

And you know, we were talking about caramel, and I was thinking the other day,

Speaker 1 like, A, how did they figure that out and how to do it? Because I've made it, I've made it a couple of times, and it's hard.

Speaker 3 You've made caramel?

Speaker 1 Yes. It's very hard.
Caramel. Caramel.
I made a, I made a.

Speaker 3 I don't know which one I say anymore. I'm just copying you.

Speaker 1 I made a cake that. Caramel.
Caramel. I did the...
I did the. Scott, Scott, please.
Caramel. I think the correct way is caramel, but I grew up saying caramel.
Caramel. Soda, yes.

Speaker 1 I want like a caramel pudding. Caramel.
Sunday. Caramel cord.
It's caramel, chocolate with caramel. Caramel cord.

Speaker 1 Come on. Caramel chameleon.
Caramel cord.

Speaker 1 Caramel corn. Let me replace it.
Caramel corner, caramel, caramel, caramel corn, caramel, caramel. Curb.
Caramel melion.

Speaker 1 But I tried to make it.

Speaker 1 It's a process, and I burnt it the first time. Fuck.
And you're sure you did.

Speaker 1 Why are you so sure of that, dear?

Speaker 1 Wait. S-Pam Risk is calling me.

Speaker 1 What does she want? Hello, Scott. Are you ready to risk that? Hello?

Speaker 1 Hello?

Speaker 1 Hello?

Speaker 1 Thousands on home heating bills.

Speaker 1 That's the part that bothers me the most. They can't even start in the middle of the fucking thousands on home heating bills.
But they start talking the first random thing.

Speaker 3 But that's why they're so messed up. It's like, don't, it needs the technology hasn't evolved enough.
You need to wait for the hello.

Speaker 3 There are some times there are the ones that you do say hello and then it starts and that's actually creepy too.

Speaker 1 So I don't know. Yeah, so you can't win.
Okay, but how did they ever figure out like, oh, okay, we're going to take this sugar and if we do this to it, it'll

Speaker 1 be like a little bit of a bunch of fucking words. They were bored.
That's like, nigga, it used to be so boring. Yeah.
I think also a lot of things like that come about from accidents. Okay.

Speaker 1 Where they're trying to do something

Speaker 1 trying to cure polio. And then they're like, yeah, they're trying to always try to cure.
We got so many things from trying to cure polio instead. Peanut brittle.
Gooey, gooey.

Speaker 1 But it's really like, how do we have chocolate? You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 How do we have pasta? How do we have the pencil? The bread. How do we have pinball? How do we have a table?

Speaker 1 But it led me to wondering. I'm so hungry for pinball.
Have we figured out everything? At this point? Yep.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean, though?

Speaker 3 That's why they're getting crazy with it now when you go to a restaurant and they're like, like, we put,

Speaker 1 you know, freeze-dried sales on top of a pile of fake dirt that, you know, it's just because we figured out everything to do with everything, and now we're just like trying to create.

Speaker 1 There was a this may be an apocryphal story, but some patent office in New York or something closed, wanted to close in 1811 or something like that.

Speaker 1 Because they thought they invented everything, right? That's it. What? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Now that's just silly.
Yeah, they're fools. That's just not seeing the power of the human mind.

Speaker 1 They hadn't heard of Meta. Yeah.

Speaker 1 World Peace?

Speaker 1 Speaking of basketball. Yes.
Why were you at a basketball game the other day? First professional basketball game last night. You've been to a basketball business.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You've never been to a professional basketball game? Never have.
I've never followed basketball.

Speaker 3 That is absolutely. But you haven't just ended up at one?

Speaker 1 No, I haven't. You haven't just been walking by an arena and said, hmm, I think I'll go at your house.

Speaker 3 I have ended up at basketball games with no intention of being a basketball game.

Speaker 1 You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 I don't know that.

Speaker 1 Like, maybe somebody invited me once. I don't know.
But

Speaker 1 if so, it was a long time ago. But I just never.

Speaker 3 Didn't you have fun? It's so fun.

Speaker 1 I had a great time. Well, here's the thing.
So, Christine Nangel, who's from Philly, and Joe Wangert, who's from Philly. Yes.

Speaker 1 He hides it. Christine, he tries to.
Yeah. I can always tell.
But Christine writes for The Simpsons.

Speaker 3 Yeah, she's so funny.

Speaker 1 Did she write Doe?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 She was responsible for the apostrophe. Oh, so it used to be.
Well, they needed a woman to come in there and go.

Speaker 3 this is actually

Speaker 1 grammatically incorrect.

Speaker 1 So somebody at the Simpsons music department has this box.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we just

Speaker 1 got a music department for a second.

Speaker 1 We're always doing that. So this is at the

Speaker 1 crypto.com arena. Oh, Tales from the crypto.
Who's always going to be?

Speaker 3 I'm really going to need things to just be named just fun names.

Speaker 1 I know. I know.

Speaker 1 Staples, you know, is a company, but we never minded it because that was the original.

Speaker 3 Well, you know, yeah, I think a lot of times I let companies slide if it was what I always was used to. And now it's a new company, I'm not so happy.

Speaker 1 I'm like, if it's just one word, but like saying a web address is so irritating.

Speaker 3 No, and I think it should be like the Sparkle Dome.

Speaker 1 Like, I don't think it should have anything to do with anything. Well, also, it should be the whatever forum.
Like, I don't mind that. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Like, if it's a, it shouldn't just be crypto and then arena. Right.
I think it should be, you know, whatever the name of the building is sponsored by whatever. So you can still cower it by

Speaker 1 the name of the thing.

Speaker 3 And it's like over the years.

Speaker 3 Crypto.com is not going to be the name for the next 50 years.

Speaker 1 But it seems like they wouldn't get their money's worth if that were the case, you know, because no one, everyone would just drop it.

Speaker 1 Well, they'll get their money's worth because crypto is going to be around forever.

Speaker 1 So she

Speaker 1 invited me and it's like,

Speaker 1 like, come to your house and get down on one knee and bring flowers.

Speaker 1 She didn't propose that I go.

Speaker 3 She just invited. Have you been on The Simpsons?

Speaker 1 I just did The Simpsons last year. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I was wondering if this was a connection that happened. You just did.

Speaker 1 Did you do Homer? I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 I won the contest where you get to do Homer.

Speaker 3 Paul, this is a really big deal that you were on The Simpsons. It was very exciting.
That's a really big deal.

Speaker 1 Congrats. Yeah, thank you.
People who listen to this show listen to our voices and put us on things. Look, because if TV shows are on for 40, 50 years, eventually I'll be on them.

Speaker 3 And now, has that aired?

Speaker 1 Yes. Oh, my God.
Well,

Speaker 3 what's the episode?

Speaker 1 I don't remember the episode. The world's biggest dumb shit comes to Springfield.
What's your character?

Speaker 1 It's the first bleeped episode.

Speaker 1 It was a succession sort of parody.

Speaker 1 And so I played the

Speaker 1 son of the John Lifgow character who was playing the fuck off character. Okay.
That's great. So you played Jeremy Strong, maybe.

Speaker 1 I think so.

Speaker 1 It was not that one-to-one. Like it was more,

Speaker 1 the plot was more a succession-type plot with a rich family and everything.

Speaker 1 There was a rival to

Speaker 1 Grandpa Simpson.

Speaker 1 They had rival companies. I don't remember a lot about it, honestly.
I still haven't seen it. Did you just record the words?

Speaker 1 I just recorded.

Speaker 1 Not in order. Not in order.

Speaker 1 They gave me just a sheet of words, not even dialogue. And you said, we'll take care of it.
And you have to give it an inflection? Do you have to be like...

Speaker 1 i had to do every word with every inflection i could think of mad angry sad scared camera and

Speaker 1 how would a camera say it um but it was doing the trump thing it was very

Speaker 1 what was that again man what was it man cameron camera tv

Speaker 1 this was to prove he didn't have alzheimer's or something

Speaker 1 so he was remembering four words in a row or something yeah well i think what i think what happened was he was like they give you four words, you're supposed to remember four, or five, I think it was five.

Speaker 1 But then he just pointed at things in the room and said them like, man, woman, camera, TV, for example. So those weren't the actual words.
He got us.

Speaker 3 Why would you need an example? It's like we all can.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we all know that there are more than four words. So the Sixers were playing, the Philadelphia 76ers.
76ers.

Speaker 1 Now, they were, this is based upon the fact that one of the most famous things that happened in Philadelphia was in 1776, fill in the blank. What happened?

Speaker 1 Scott, I hate to correct you.

Speaker 1 It's because Philadelphia was the home to the first person to turn 76 years old. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 Because life expectancy used to be so low.

Speaker 3 I'm actually sorry to tell you that you are both wrong.

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 3 The Mars Candy Company is from Philadelphia, and it's to represent the 76 flavors of Eminem that there will eventually be.

Speaker 1 Oh, there will eventually be.

Speaker 1 It was hopeful. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It continues to be.

Speaker 1 Hershey is, by the way, is from pennsylvania well isn't that special

Speaker 1 shop in broccoli could it be satan

Speaker 1 so did you like it when they had a little did you like it like they had the lamppost with the hershey kiss this is what i've heard they hershey park is fun yeah well i remember smells like chocolate everything i'd like to go there you go on a little ride i think i'm sure you like to go to this I'd like to go to there.

Speaker 1 You go on a little ride, and then I thought it was going to be like Willy Wonka, where they just like go, here's a whole bunch of candy. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And instead you get like into a gift shop and you have to buy it. And my parents were like, we're not buying.

Speaker 3 That's fine. We're not buying it.

Speaker 1 Or, like, you can have one thing or something like that.

Speaker 3 Is it the same price it is in the factory?

Speaker 1 Wait, yes. That sounds like the factory.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Not the amusement park.
Oh, no, no. We went to the factory.
I didn't know there was maybe the amusement park. There's a candy amusement piece of parking park.
Well, that's really cute.

Speaker 1 Hershey Park. Where they have like a guy dressed up as a package of Reese's cups.
You know what I mean? That's like shit like that. Yeah.
What guy?

Speaker 3 So, did you love the game? Did you love

Speaker 3 when the dancing girls came out in the middle and

Speaker 1 shook their money makers? Shook their little dookie makers.

Speaker 3 It was a first being a dad has changed

Speaker 1 for the same.

Speaker 1 I had never

Speaker 1 been in one of those boxes before.

Speaker 3 Oh, that's really fun. It was insane.
That changes everything because you can really be free with your words. You can go drink.
You can go to the bathroom very easily.

Speaker 1 Shit right there in front of everyone.

Speaker 3 That's so fun. So was this a Simpsons

Speaker 3 event?

Speaker 1 No, it was not. They just have a whoever it is, has this box, and we were not, we were not the only ones there.

Speaker 1 There was one of the people that is that is one of the owners of the box was also there with his family.

Speaker 1 I hope I hope I am not blowing up this man's spot, but the man who wrote Black Panther was also there with his family. Ryan Kugler?

Speaker 1 Did Ryan Kugler write the movie? I know he directed it.

Speaker 1 He co-wrote it at the very least. Let me look it up.

Speaker 3 Well, maybe it was the other guy. Well, let's get this right.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 so we get, you know, we have a great view of the game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's nice. The Sixers won.
I had never really watched. Joe Robert Cole? I think so.
Yes. They called him Joe.

Speaker 1 They called him King Cole. We did not meet for some reason.

Speaker 1 You did not write Black Panther. No, I did not.
It was only people who had also written Black Panther were allowed to say hello to him. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I was nervous around the strangers who were very, everybody was very nervous.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but sometimes you're in the same round.

Speaker 1 You don't go around and say, hello, my name is is Paul but I do feel like in situations like that I do feel like uh hillbilly you know what I mean oh I feel like pure trash

Speaker 3 I'm like oh my my purse snacks don't feel

Speaker 1 used to this also some people like come late and yeah and everyone's talking already and then it's like oh there's a new there's also a screen with a football game on that sometimes people are taking a break and watching the football game right but I really love sports I really

Speaker 1 I really enjoyed it and I was like, oh, I will probably watch basketball on TV now. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. And the Sixers won.
That's great. The last, that last minute of play is like...
That's all you got to see. It's so wild.

Speaker 3 Well, that's why I've always said that basketball games should just be one shot.

Speaker 1 Whoever gets it first. Oh, man.
You only get one shot. At halftime, they have people that they have like a sort of little obstacle course.

Speaker 1 So people from the crowd can like, they have to run through these things, grab a basketball, shoot it. To get money.
Yeah. And so there were two guys.

Speaker 3 Crypto.com, no doubt.

Speaker 1 The one guy was dunking left and right. He missed just like the last two, but he made these like trick dunks where he would,

Speaker 1 you know, bounce it on the floor and then catch it in the right air. It was great.
Oh, wow. Then the second guy did bad.

Speaker 3 So is the first guy also just an audience member?

Speaker 1 He wasn't like

Speaker 1 dunks as an audience member. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the other guy.

Speaker 1 The second guy was trying to do it and it was not working.

Speaker 1 Why don't you do this? Just try. Just do your thing.
Just do your thing. I imagine this is part of the thing.

Speaker 1 Like, they've probably been doing this forever, and it's like now they're not specific guys.

Speaker 1 No, I think

Speaker 3 they're like the activity. They know what they're getting, what they're signing for.

Speaker 1 I used to like when they would, it would be like, okay, if you can make this basket from half court, but they do love when I like when the kids are. They do a kid, really? How young?

Speaker 1 And a kid, this kid was probably like nine, ten, something like that. Okay.
I feel like the older I get, the less I can judge kids' ages. Right.
Or it's like, oh, he was like

Speaker 1 when he's in high school.

Speaker 1 I don't want to say a mic.

Speaker 3 How old do I think you are?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like your internal age?

Speaker 1 Yeah, of my internal organs. How old do you think people say I am?

Speaker 1 I've been to two basketball games. What is going on?

Speaker 3 What? How have you never been to basketball games?

Speaker 1 How many have you been to? The two is such a

Speaker 1 unrespectable number. 30 at least.

Speaker 1 Chicago.

Speaker 1 You know,

Speaker 1 dummy, memory,

Speaker 1 I'm trying to do that for you.

Speaker 3 That's true. That's where I started.

Speaker 1 I did see Michael Jordan play.

Speaker 1 You're doing Axel F.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 this is just wild to me. Women to two.
How many baseball games have you been to? Oh, a million. Right.
So let me tell you about my two basketball games.

Speaker 3 Basketball. Basketball is better than baseball.

Speaker 1 I went to the Lakers once,

Speaker 1 and I sat in the very back row. Uh-huh.
And this is when Dennis Robnin was on the Lakers, and I bought a worm.

Speaker 1 The worm. I bought a Dennis Robnin shirt.

Speaker 1 Sounds great. Do you still have it?

Speaker 1 No. Should.

Speaker 1 And then I went to one with our good friend Armin,

Speaker 1 who has

Speaker 1 like regular. I remember the cannibal.
Yeah. And

Speaker 1 he bit my butt

Speaker 1 during the game. No,

Speaker 1 we went with Armin, who has like, I think he and his family have season tickets or something like that. And it was like

Speaker 1 relatively close. It was very fun.
That's really fun. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's very exciting when you go with someone who has close seats. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 I've had that experience a few times, and that makes it feel really special because you're seeing the sweat on their faces and like all the expressions and everything and it's really different i feel that sport in particular to be down on the um on the floor for it i could see how exciting it would be like the best seats i've ever had at a baseball game was uh just to the

Speaker 1 uh left of home plate at uh right i like

Speaker 1 to go to a baseball game if i was really close it's very exciting but Not all of the play happens there.

Speaker 1 But if you're like court side and you're right there and they're just going back and forth in this one area,

Speaker 1 you're seeing fucking everything. Yeah.
Do you want to be by a basket or do you want to be half court?

Speaker 1 Half court, I guess, would be ideal.

Speaker 3 Well, I sat behind a basket, and that was kind of great because then you see them running towards you and jumping up and stuff. And do you get scared?

Speaker 1 You're like, oh, don't throw it at me.

Speaker 1 Here's a thing I didn't know about

Speaker 1 professional basketball: is that

Speaker 1 when the teams are down at one end, there's a guy at the other end frantically mopping up the floor.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. I know.
I never saw that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it never occurred to me. But a guy runs out like

Speaker 1 you got to keep it really shiny. Because if one of the players gets injured, they'll sue.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 They'll sue. Exactly.
You know, I like it more in person than watching on TV because I feel like they add so many distractions. Like the talking will be.

Speaker 1 There's a lot of shit happening in person.

Speaker 1 They were worried when they started televising. Ads? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because the ads, there's

Speaker 1 on the thing, on the thing, and then every there's screaming ads around. You're not hearing them.

Speaker 3 You're not going to like Burger King is the number one place. You're just like watching.

Speaker 1 Exactly, yeah. But it is like the because the things are changing every two seconds.

Speaker 3 But that's to keep you engaged.

Speaker 1 I think it'd be interesting to write down.

Speaker 1 I think it'd be interesting to write down every ad you see in a day. Fun.
You should do that. Yeah.
Okay. Report your findings.

Speaker 3 You have to leave this room, though.

Speaker 1 Weren't they afraid, though, when they started televising games no one would ever want to go in person anymore? They say that about everything. Yeah.

Speaker 3 It's just not true about anything.

Speaker 1 No. No.
Going on. You know, from the pandemic, everyone would rather be in person.
Even the pandemic, people are like, I don't know if I want to live stream.

Speaker 1 You know, after the thing is over, should we live stream it? Because then people won't want to come. And it's like, no, they will.

Speaker 3 Of course, no, it's great to live stream now. It's like it's opened up a whole new world.
I did my show on Saturday and had it, it was live streamed.

Speaker 1 I watched that show. You can still watch.

Speaker 3 Oh my God, it was so fun. Jason's so funny.

Speaker 1 You'll look me up with a code, though, so I don't have to pay for it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I'll send it to you.

Speaker 3 No, but they, you know, but it sounds like a great improv show.

Speaker 1 Yeah, geez.

Speaker 3 If you're listening to this, you can still get the live stream.

Speaker 1 Who cares? All right, let's go to a break. No, that's actually important for me to say.
Nope.

Speaker 1 This episode is sponsored by Better Help. Fall, autumn.

Speaker 4 Well, hi everybody. It's Julia Louis Dreyfus from the Wiser Than Me podcast and I'm not going to talk about food waste this time.

Speaker 4 I'm going to talk about food resources.

Speaker 4 All that uneaten food rotting in the landfill, it could be enriching our soil or feeding our chickens because it's still food.

Speaker 4 And the easiest and frankly, way coolest way to put all its nutrients to work is with the Mill Food Recycler. It looks like an art house garbage can.

Speaker 4 You can just toss your scraps in it like a garbage can, but it is definitely not a garbage can. I mean, it's true, I'm pretty obsessed with this thing.

Speaker 4 I even invested in this thing, but I'm not alone.

Speaker 4 Any mill owner just might corner you at a party and rhapsodize about how it's completely odorless and it's fully automated and how you can keep filling it for weeks.

Speaker 4 But the clincher is that you can depend on it for years. Mill is a serious machine.
Think about a dishwasher, not a toaster.

Speaker 4 It's built by hand in North America and it's engineered by the guy who did your iPhone. But you have to kind of live with Mill to understand all the love.
That's why they offer a risk-free trial.

Speaker 4 Go to mill.com/slash wiser for an exclusive offer.

Speaker 1 And we're back.

Speaker 1 And you want to do a voicemail? We haven't done a voicemail in a long time.

Speaker 1 If you would like to call us, here's some options. Um, for the

Speaker 1 options, we know you have a lot of options when it comes to calling us. And, like, for one, for instance, you could call Ha Hala Inpu, but here's some other, here's some other ones.

Speaker 1 I, a gala host.

Speaker 1 Hi, a gal, a host. That's what Lauren would say.
Ha ha jag opt.

Speaker 1 Gaga jag opt. Gaga jag opt.
Gag a jag off. Hag a la host.

Speaker 1 Gag a la host. All great.

Speaker 3 A la host actually works.

Speaker 3 I think gag a la host is maybe one of the best ones where we do gag.

Speaker 1 Ha ha la host. Ha ha la host.
I

Speaker 1 la host. Ha ha la host, though, because we're from Los Angeles.
Now, if you want to add a number, ha ha la host.

Speaker 1 Hag claims eight.

Speaker 3 I like that.

Speaker 1 Gaga la ho 78. Gaga la ho

Speaker 1 78.

Speaker 1 Or gaga jag opus. Wow.
So we have a ton of options.

Speaker 3 Some of those sound way too long.

Speaker 1 It's 424-252-4678. Gaga Jag.

Speaker 3 You know, you could either write that down or memorize gaga jag opus.

Speaker 1 Gaga jag opus.

Speaker 3 Gaga jag opus. That's way too many letters.

Speaker 1 It's one, it's one extra letter. Okay, sweet.
Which I did say.

Speaker 1 Here we go.

Speaker 1 Here's one.

Speaker 1 Hi, guys. First of all, I want to say I love you so much.
Fuck. I'm my favorite people in the whole world and

Speaker 1 too thirsty.

Speaker 1 Second of all, I was wondering what is the worst date each of you has been on? I'll be next five.

Speaker 1 Oh, God.

Speaker 1 Worst date. Oh, God.
I'm sure I was the worst date in any situation like that.

Speaker 1 He took me to this place.

Speaker 1 I

Speaker 1 let me see.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 I got one example. Okay.

Speaker 1 My friend who I'm sure I told this before, but we worked at Knott's Berry Farm. I was in security in the line and he was a monster in one of the rides.

Speaker 1 And he would take off his monster mask and show he was handsome and then say, go talk to my friend out working the line and

Speaker 1 we'll set up a date.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 he was handsome. He was handsome.
So he

Speaker 1 was trying to get with this girl who had a friend and he was like, let's all go out. She has a friend.
We'll all, you know.

Speaker 1 and basically like we need someone for her friend and and it'll be great so we come uh i go over to his place,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 we're watching. I remember very vividly.
You've definitely told this story before. Remember very vividly a live Rolling Stones concert was on,

Speaker 1 and my friend who's a drummer was criticizing Charlie Watts' technique. Um,

Speaker 1 and uh,

Speaker 1 that's a little detail that I probably haven't told. That's new, and so the Tate Peterson story:

Speaker 1 two girls came, uh, we meet them,

Speaker 1 two girls, one cup.

Speaker 1 We sit down, we chat, we meet. We're watching the Rolling Stones thing.
We stand up to leave. They go, okay, let's go.
I stand up with them, and the girl looks at me and goes, oh, he's coming too?

Speaker 3 That's got to hurt.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 These two ladies thought they were going to get off with this one guy. I think they were trying to threesome with the hand.
Can you blame them? I can't, really, because threesomes are great.

Speaker 1 I just remember dates that were not, there was nothing interesting about them being bad, but just that at the time, knowing this person's not interested in me.

Speaker 3 Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I went on a date in high school

Speaker 3 with someone that this is what I, I was, because I was thinking I'm a bit of a serial monogamous, so I didn't, I've only gone on a handful of dates that didn't turn into relationships.

Speaker 3 But so I would say any of those probably weren't great because nothing happened after it.

Speaker 1 Oh, I also did have a date with the woman that Charlize Therone played in the movie Monster. Oh, anyway.

Speaker 1 You want to hear another one? Is that what I'm hearing?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah.

Speaker 1 You're hearing it.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh. Did I.
Spaghettio? Spaghetti. Oh.
All right. Let's hear another one.

Speaker 1 Here we go.

Speaker 1 Hello. Hi, this is Chase.
I had a hypothetical. Your name is a verb.

Speaker 1 If you

Speaker 1 were

Speaker 1 some sort of endangered species,

Speaker 1 what would you be? The fuck? There's more. What animal on the endangered species list would you be? Just rephrasing.
Oh. Okay, I'm going to actually look that up.
You have to be endangered.

Speaker 1 Okay, hold on. You have no choice.

Speaker 1 Okay, thanks. Bye.

Speaker 3 Great. I'm going to look up the animals.
There's

Speaker 1 a copy, right? The animals. Okay, so like,

Speaker 1 what are the endangered animals? Because I know

Speaker 1 chicken. Chicken is one.
Definitely.

Speaker 1 We're down to our ball. Here,

Speaker 3 I'm going to read you the 10 most endangered animals.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 These all made the list, okay?

Speaker 1 And congrats to them all.

Speaker 1 Is this an FTI list?

Speaker 3 Yes, and they want to get them all.

Speaker 3 The Javan rhinos, okay?

Speaker 1 I've never even heard of it. That's why it's that endangered.
Amuira leopard.

Speaker 3 The Sunda Island tiger.

Speaker 3 Mountain gorillas.

Speaker 3 Tapanuli orangutan.

Speaker 3 yanktsy finless porpoise.

Speaker 1 What? Black rhinos.

Speaker 1 African forest elephant.

Speaker 3 Sumatron orangutan.

Speaker 1 Sumatron orangutan.

Speaker 3 Hawksbill turtles. So, you know, I would just say rhinos, tigers, monkeys, elephants.
You know, where are you falling?

Speaker 1 I think a porpoise, right? Because you're at least. So these are just like strains of certain animals.

Speaker 3 Well, that was like so specific that I can't even deal. Like, I'm like, just give me something.

Speaker 1 That porpoise sounds good, or maybe those mountain gorillas. I don't know why.

Speaker 3 This is another thing people search for. Endangered species in Ohio.
And

Speaker 3 the first one is Indiana bat.

Speaker 1 Indiana bat.

Speaker 1 We don't get a lot of those around here. I kind of want to be one of those Indiana bats.
I kind of want to be endangered.

Speaker 3 I would be, if I was an endangered species, I'd be like an elephant.

Speaker 1 Because no one would fuck with you?

Speaker 3 They're so sweet. They get killed all the time.
Yeah. They're just a

Speaker 1 be one of those turtles because they live like you want to go turtle, turtle. I want to go turtle, turtle.

Speaker 1 Also, you know, ninja. I know.

Speaker 1 You know ninja.

Speaker 1 I'm saying you know ninja.

Speaker 3 What is yours going to be?

Speaker 1 No ninja? No ninja. No ninja, no problem.
I'll be a monkey gorilla. Like an orangutan? I'm a gorilla.

Speaker 3 Why do we say oranges?

Speaker 1 I want to be a lake gorilla. Yeah.
Relax. Swimming around.
You're at the lake, gorilla.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you have a lot of signs around your house. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
And I'm a gorilla. Why do we say orangutan?

Speaker 3 Is that what you mean? Why do we say orangutan?

Speaker 1 Because we're dumb. I think because we're dumb, yeah.
Okay. Orangutan.
But it's what at this point, just call it orangutan because that's what everyone calls it. It's also more fun to say.
Yes.

Speaker 1 Call the thing

Speaker 1 if you're going to put a rang in there and then you're going to go up to

Speaker 1 put a G at the end. Exactly.
That's true. Oh my God.
I saw a fucking video

Speaker 1 of

Speaker 1 guys narrating,

Speaker 1 like narrating a nature,

Speaker 1 I can't say nature video, but an orangutan is standing in front of this guy wearing a cardigan, like zip-up. The narrators have

Speaker 1 animals.

Speaker 3 They're standing in front of a guy.

Speaker 1 And so the monkey, the orangutan is like, I want that sweater. Like, he's indicating the guy, like, he lets, he lets the orangutan unzip the sweater, and then he takes it off.
He gives it to the body.

Speaker 1 Talk slower. And the guys,

Speaker 1 these guys are like

Speaker 1 oh no is he gonna put it on is he gonna put it on and then he the the orangutan like just throws it over his head and these guys are cracking up then he does this twist with it and all of a sudden he's wearing it whoa like his arms are inside it and these guys lose their mind he put it on better than a human does Yeah,

Speaker 1 he has got some great method of putting it on. It was inside out, though.

Speaker 1 We should use the orangutan method to put on all of our clothes. Yeah.
Because this sounds amazing. They should have shown him wearing pants, gloves, shoes, spats, hat, monocul.
Monocul.

Speaker 1 You know what else? I'd like to be a Tasmanian tiger. Wow.

Speaker 1 They were thought to be extinct for many years, but somebody sighted one recently. Really? That's amazing.
They thought they were long gone.

Speaker 3 Isn't it wild how we, you know, they say we only know like 10% of what's happening in the ocean? Or something?

Speaker 1 No, we keep track on 10%.

Speaker 3 No, there's something like there's, it goes so far down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we don't know. That we can't possibly be.

Speaker 1 I've never heard the 10% thing. Well, I made up the number.
I've heard that for brains, which is also bullshit.

Speaker 3 Well, that's what I'm using to tell you this fact.

Speaker 1 What do we think about P24?

Speaker 3 P24?

Speaker 1 Is that his name? P22. P22.

Speaker 3 Show some respect. And he's dead.

Speaker 1 What do we think about him?

Speaker 1 I find it odd that everyone is so.

Speaker 3 You know, everyone was so

Speaker 3 sad.

Speaker 1 There was like a

Speaker 1 P22 is my funeral.

Speaker 3 It was honestly confusing, and I don't mean that in an unfeeling way. I just agree with you.
I'm just like, I didn't really follow it that closely. I was kind of like, oh, there's a mountain lion.

Speaker 3 And then everyone's like, P22 was like my hero. And like everything he did was for me.
It was like, it just truly feels like the one I'm going to do. Some people went too far with it.

Speaker 1 But I will say that I did not follow the antics of P22 too closely. But every once in a while, you'd hear there was a sighting or whatever.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I was unexpectedly sad when I heard that he died.

Speaker 3 I felt a little sad because I was watching them on the news, you know, kind of showing a lot of footage.

Speaker 1 and I was like, oh, that's a little, that's famous. It's sad to watch an animal.
It's sad when someone's famous. Yeah.
It's like, especially.

Speaker 3 You think he'll be in the in memorial?

Speaker 1 He was a local celebrity, you know? I guess, but I never want to see, like, when people go, oh, I saw him. Yeah, I'd be frightened.
I'd shit my pants. Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 1 I don't want to see shit your pants. Well, when he attacked, he attacked multiple dogs, right? Paul, get over here, shit, my pants.

Speaker 3 Being put down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and a baby. Yeah, because it turned out to be a bad thing.
A baby? Yeah. He'd been hit by a car.
And so he was acting. He was radical.
They say he was acting erratically. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Wait, there was a baby involved? Don't you come after my baby? Well, are you kidding?

Speaker 3 Of course. I'd kill that thing.

Speaker 1 He didn't kill the baby, though. He wanted to.
I want to sometimes. Sure.
What happened? I missed that.

Speaker 3 They weren't really highlighting that piece when they were giving the memories of P22.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, you know. Remember that time he attacked a baby the other day? Let's keep him around.
P22 will miss you.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 Did you you have a three chair that you wanted to do with? Oh, well, do we have time?

Speaker 3 Well, we should do one more voicemail. What do you think?

Speaker 1 All right, let's do one more voicemail and we'll do a three-chove.

Speaker 1 Okay, here we go. So, this is another

Speaker 1 voicemail. Another one.
Another one. Hey, Paul, Scott, Lauren.
Those just from Joey from Denton. Hi, Joey.
I was just curious:

Speaker 1 how many cuckoo clocks do you think a guy would have to own before people talk bad behind his back calling him that weird cuckoo clock guy. Thanks.
Well, I'll tell you: our neighbor was an oddball.

Speaker 1 Our neighbor when we lived in Toluca Lake, we were in a condominium. He's that old man that made the puppet that came alive.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And he had many cuckoo clocks.

Speaker 1 No, we had

Speaker 1 an oddball neighbor who, when I moved in,

Speaker 1 my front door was open and she just wandered in and was like, Hello!

Speaker 1 And she mentioned that

Speaker 1 she wanted to ask, she's seen me around and wanted to ask if I wanted to go get ice cream. And then she also mentioned that half of her brain had been taken out.
Yes.

Speaker 1 And she was.

Speaker 1 I will get, I want to say, you imitate her voice the same way every time. Yeah.
No, she had a very distinctive voice.

Speaker 1 So she,

Speaker 1 she, um,

Speaker 1 one day I came back to my place and

Speaker 1 found that half of my DVDs had been stolen. Wow.
And in their place, half a brain?

Speaker 1 So we do, we have a suspect. No, so Kulab went to her place to like warn her that someone had stolen some stuff.
And she's like, they're not in my place. Do you want to take a look?

Speaker 1 What?

Speaker 1 Very guilty. Very guilty sounding.
Anyway, so, but Kulab was over there once and she was like, she had a collection of cuckoo clocks for one thing. And then she was like,

Speaker 1 took her into the bathroom to show her around. There's a big cuckoo clock above the toilet.
And

Speaker 3 you really don't need that up there.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 You don't need something.

Speaker 1 Well, you don't want to have to twist around to look at the time. It's very helpful.
You want it to come over your head and down in front of your eyes.

Speaker 3 Or if you're standing up after you shit and then the clock strikes 12.

Speaker 1 Suddenly, bong right in the back of your neck.

Speaker 1 But then she was like, she had the shower curtain drawn and she pulled it and there was just cat litter in the bathtub. Well, that's convenient.
And then cut out the middle, man.

Speaker 1 Oh, maybe it was cat food. Okay, cool.
I actually don't like any idea.

Speaker 1 Like in cans or just loose? Just loose.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 3 that's actually so disgusting.

Speaker 1 But then, but then I, then she also had like open the closet, I think, and she had all these baby clothes. And

Speaker 1 she was like, I don't have children, but I love their clothes.

Speaker 1 That's possibly the creepiest thing anyone's ever said yeah anyway so she was real weird and then she what if she just had the cuckoo clocks but everything else was clean beautiful pristine she had a whole brain

Speaker 1 I think two is too many I think you know what you don't so okay I you know the Kit Kat clock no the old you get to break a piece off of it

Speaker 1 that the one that's a cat that the eyes go back and forth oh oh yeah famous Felix isn't it or is it not exactly it's Kit Kat it's not official Felix Merch

Speaker 3 I've had a few throughout my life, but I was.

Speaker 3 I like them, but I've only had one.

Speaker 1 But I like them. But I've only had one at a time.

Speaker 3 And Mike got me one recently, which I was so happy to see.

Speaker 1 Did you already have one? No, but I haven't had one in a long time.

Speaker 3 It's like, I don't know what happened to it.

Speaker 1 But I have one. Why aren't you the second it doesn't work anymore? Why aren't you, why aren't you getting another one?

Speaker 3 They are gifted to me.

Speaker 1 Because you have a rule. You can have.
You have bad luck to buy one at a time.

Speaker 3 It honestly feels like just if you saw one and you were looking for a present for me, you'd be like, chill like that. It's like,

Speaker 1 it makes sense. And it happens to be something you do like.
And I do.

Speaker 3 But when I hung it up in the kitchen, I thought, I want 10 of these. Okay.
I need 10 and I need them all swinging now.

Speaker 3 And then I sat there for a bit and realized you were. It was so loud that I was like, if there's more than one, loud? It was, it's not loud, but I could hear it as I was sitting there eating.

Speaker 3 And I was like, if I had 10, that would be insane. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. But it would look like.

Speaker 1 Because you could never get them all synced up.

Speaker 3 You never could. And even if you could, that'd be maybe worse because it'd be one loud TikTok.

Speaker 1 We have a cuckoo clock. Yeah, you do.

Speaker 3 We're actually the third host of your podcast. That's true.

Speaker 1 Does it talk? I can't remember. What does it do?

Speaker 1 I've been over there for cool.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it says one of the famous words that it's supposed to say.

Speaker 1 It says koo-hoo. Kuhoo.

Speaker 1 And we enjoy it very much. The other day,

Speaker 1 I we've talked about this. You turned it off at night or you just sleep.
No, there's a sensor. And then

Speaker 1 it senses when it's not. What's really funny is like sometimes you can hear it stop itself like if it's mid

Speaker 1 really is like it got caught like hello sorry sorry guys I thought it was morning

Speaker 1 but um I I broke a piece off of it the other day oh just like what I want to do to your ass

Speaker 1 no Scott I need to report you to HR yeah but I think that if you have more than one thing like that that makes noise all day long,

Speaker 1 that's too much. I agree.
I agree.

Speaker 3 I think one is really where it's at.

Speaker 1 My grandfather had one of his clocks, a grandfather clock. My grandfather had a grandfather clock.
We called it a grandfather clock. It was just like a.
We would say, hey, this is a you.

Speaker 3 But yours was just like a little.

Speaker 1 Did you say you? Nothing. Because he was a grandfather.
Called it that. Oh, so it was.

Speaker 1 You're saying the grandfather clock is a clock who has grandchildren that are clocks.

Speaker 1 And then he would say, these are you. Why is it called a grandfather clock? I don't know.

Speaker 3 Because

Speaker 3 it's steadfast and true.

Speaker 1 Like grandfathers always are.

Speaker 1 I'm looking it up, though, and I'll tell you exactly what. That's a good question.

Speaker 1 Why do they call it a grandfather clock?

Speaker 1 Mr. Wikipedia is going to tell us in just a second.

Speaker 1 Origin. Wait.
Naming, naming, naming. Naming, naming.
Also, look up controversies.

Speaker 1 Personal life.

Speaker 1 The Oxford English dictionary states that the popular 1876 song my grandfather's clock is responsible for the common name grandfather clock being applied to the long case clock the song was composed by an american songwriter by the name of henry clay work

Speaker 1 who discovered a long case clock in the george hotel in pierce bridge in county durham in england when he asked about the clock He was informed that it had two owners.

Speaker 1 Okay. Two owners.
Were they married? After the the first owner died. Oh, it had had two owners since then.
I thought a con man had sold it to two different people.

Speaker 1 And they had to cut it in half.

Speaker 1 After the first owner died, the clock became inaccurate. And when the second owner died, the clock stopped working altogether.
The story inspired Henry to create the song.

Speaker 1 Grandfather clocks are of a certain height, usually at least 1.9 meters, 6 feet 3 inches.

Speaker 1 Don't get it wrong. There are also grandmother and granddaughter clocks, which are slightly shorter.
No.

Speaker 1 Slightly shorter than long. Sarah liar and a thief.
Why no grandson clock?

Speaker 1 Oh, no.

Speaker 1 Why not?

Speaker 1 When are you going to give me a grandson clock? Come on.

Speaker 1 I love my curvy clock. And that makes sense that it comes from a song.
That's why we call birthday cakes birthday cakes because it comes from the birthday song.

Speaker 1 It's really disgusting to be blowing candles out. And we never knew it until the pandemic.
And now, if you see it in a movie.

Speaker 1 I mean, I'm sure there are people out there who are like, I actually only saw that one was fucking disgusting. Of course.
I actually already washed my hands.

Speaker 1 I already scrubbed down all my groceries.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 it's that time because Lauren's texting. It's not quite what I'm doing.
What are you doing? I'm not paying attention. Let's just go.
