The forces shaping markets and the economy are often hiding behind a blur of numbers. So that's why we created The Big Take from Bloomberg podcasts to give you the context you need to make sense of it all. Every day in just 15 minutes we dive into one global business story that matters. You'll hear from Bloomberg journalists like Matt Levine. A lot of this meme stock stuff is I think embarrassing to the SEC. Follow The Big Take podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you listen. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

So do you. I got a haircut. Can you guys tell? Look. Oh, looking good. Yeah. Okay. Short on the sides.

Well, I didn't want to go so short, so it's sort of a hybrid. I had to have a conversation. Like I said, take like a month off. Take a month off. And then he did, and I was like, try six weeks. Take like a month off And then he did and I was like try six weeks Little a couple more couple more days off that what would a complete Baldy be then how many months would that be?

Wouldn't be months that would be all he would be taking me back to birth. Yeah. I've never shaved my head, I probably should. It would have to be justified by a roll or something because I've never, other than having a bald cap on and scrubs, I have no idea what I look like. Like a crew cut. I think it would look really funny on you. Really? Because of my nose shape?

No, not because of my nose shape. No, not because you know, shape. Yeah, I know. I think it's such a great hair. It would be like a shame to cut it. My nose shape. That's where you went. As you know, I'm self-conscious about my nose. It's big. You wear it well. It's beautiful.

I'm loving the reaction to our Hyundai video. The people are so funny. The overwhelming response is, when are you going to release the whole episode? Which makes me feel like we should. I think we should, dude. Did you read the comments? I don't know. People were like, this is hilarious.

Put out the whole thing. Loving. Yeah, people were like, I would watch this. What I really like about it is that we're not freaking pushing this car on you heavily. Yeah. It actually comes up in a natural conversation. I love that. And also, and also no bullshit, the car's nice. Like the car is dope. It's not like we're, a lot of people in the comments were like, oh my God, I'm actually considering this car now. And the Hyundai Tucson's on our list. And you know, obviously they're an advertiser

But we Jen I genuinely thought that car was pretty sexy It was so comfortable and and all the funny little like innovative safety features like the Attention thing and the in the blind spots on your dash. That was cool. But dude, I laughed at us I laugh every I've watched that video 900,000 times because I helped edit it and watching every time you say chewy nose. I laugh Chewy nose. No, no you go you go. No, no chewy nose Let me drive How is the room in the back because I saw someone one of my comments on my Instagram was, car looks hot. Daniel's a tall guy.

Was there enough room for his legs? Oh, absolutely. Yeah. I even had a bunch of stuff back there. You may see me like leaning down the video. Like I had the equipment, I had some boxes and I was very comfortable. It was nice. The arm is down.

It was space to spare. Roomy. And someone else wrote, wow, you all weren't lying. That is a big sunroof. It was huge. I didn't like I was so concentrated on the floor because that's where all the recording stuff was. I didn't look up until someone was like, that's a sunroof. So when you hear me go, oh, my goodness, that is enormous.

That was a genuine reaction. I like that trend of of a sunroof being the length of a car pretty much. Obviously, you need to be able to close it because the heat can be oppressive. But I feel like that's a cool new trend that I appreciate. As somebody who doesn't do a lot of driving, it's really nice to be able to just have sort of like beyond a panoramic view of your surroundings. And as someone who's been to a lot of drive ins over the past year, those things are excellent for making sure you can see the screen no matter where you have to park the vehicle. Super advantageous.

Also, if there's a night with beautiful stars out and you just feel like you're flying through the galaxy. Oh, gosh. Did you feel like you were in the Millennium Falcon? I mean, when am I not in the Millennium Falcon? I mean, when am I not in the Millennium Falcon? I had a lot of people comment like, dude, how could you not know this MCU reference? Oh boy. Of course.

Oh, come on, I don't know any of that stuff. I don't know any of that stuff. That's okay. Do you care to know? To have conversations with you guys I do and my never be a moment in time where you will have watched all of the MCU movies and be able to piece it together like I can no but I tell you what I'm gonna watch black widow on July 9th with you hey hey I'm gonna sit next to you

I'm gonna hold your thigh at exciting parts Should I do that thing what was that movie bachelor party where he puts the hole in the bottom of the popcorn and puts a Peep inside. Oh my should I do that with you on on July 9th? I pray that you don't do that. Did you ever see that movie bachelor party with Tom Hanks? Like I can't eat the popcorn after that happens. Well, you wouldn't worried about the popcorn and you'd be worried about the treats at the bottom oh my the treats Have you guys not seen tom hanks in the movie bachelor party I've seen the movie yes there's no way that it is not completely

Unmakeable today and on PC and probably horrible, but as a kid I remember thinking it was hilarious. I just remember that ladies nipples were the size of, they look like quarters, I remember that. I don't remember that. I remember that it was an early Tom Hanks movie before he became like family movie guy.

It was like R-rated and crazy. Before Splash? It was before Splash, definitely. Before Money Pit? I don't know, Joel can answer us. I think it was his first big lead, if I'm not mistaken. I mean, I don't know. He was like, it was before he became like family movie. No, I remember the movie.

This was an R-rated movie. I mean, it was crazy. I remember seeing Big and being like, oh, this guy's career is going a completely different path. And I was young when it came out, but I knew I was like, Tom Hanks is an amazing actor, dude. And Big is the perfect example because me and my friends, it was a toss up that night. It was that or like Funny Farm. It was something like that. Something where it was like something that you don't necessarily

want to see but you know, you're gonna laugh or This movie that we knew nothing about and I remember going and seeing Big and being like, holy cow That did the dude from Bachelor Party is a great actor. I'm yeah But dude, there's a move seen in this movie We're like they get a donkey for the bachelor party and like there's all these bills out on the table and the donkey does all the pills the donkey like snorts cocaine and like drops all these pills it's crazy yeah bachelor party everyone I recommend it and if it has offensive shit in it I didn't make it I just remember remember it from my childhood. You know, both movie, both Splash and Bachelor Party came out in 1984, which is, uh, those are

two very different movies for two very different audiences starting the same verse. Yeah, I bet you when Splash became a giant hit, he was probably like, oh shit, I've got that R rated Bachelor Party movie. Um, should we get the episode fucking amazing episode very funny So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our, scrubs, rewatch, Joe, and Zach and Donno. Mm-hmm. This is a pretty great episode. I mean, it has so much in it.

Did you direct this episode? Who directed this episode? I wish I did. Michael Spiller did, and he did a fantastic job. Spiller did a great job. I mean, tell us about the kung fu sequence. It looks like it took forever to do, and how much rehearsal did you do? It's just amazing You have rehearsal and then we shot we rehearsed in the morning and then shot that afternoon

You rehearsed and shot all in one day. Yeah, this is before I had any type of martial arts training or anything like that I was just basically doing what I saw on television, right and copying Bruce Lee and stuff like that. But now I think because of the amount of work I've put in, I'd be like, well, I don't know if that kick would look real or you know what I mean? I'd be a little bit more critical of how it looked. Right. Well, you had the luxury of it being a comedy, so you could be a little bit silly. But I thought it was really well shot by Michael Spiller. And I thought you and Rob were fucking hilarious.

Yeah, right. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Get ready for the big dog. And then you say that line from what's it, is it Indiana Jones reference? Yeah. Where you go, fuck. Quit fooling around with that kid and get down here.

Yeah. Ha ha ha. Ah, you picked up on that, Vic. No, I wish I did. Scrubs Wiki. I'm sorry. Damn. Scrubs Wiki had some good ones on this episode, but kind of a big episode. This might've been one of the ones that we didn't accomplish in five days because it feels larger than usual because of the whole triathlon and your kung fu thing. There's a lot in this episode.

Set pieces as we call them in the biz. A lot of sacred fart. Yeah. So the first thing that happens is I'm at your apartment and Carla wants me out. We're all speaking subliminally to each other. And you tell me subliminally that you're watching Giselle in the Victoria's Secret model show in your spoon. Remember that that was a thing? I never think I really watched it, but they would do like a Victoria's

Secret show. It was like a runway show. Right. But they've canceled it. I heard all the Victoria's Secret model sexy girl thing is over. Right, Joelle? Yeah, I don't think it had anything to do with sexy girls or not. It's just Victoria's Secret's been struggling as a company with the boom of a lot of new lingerie ads. A lot of people got ahead of the full range of skin tone nudes before Victoria's Secret did. They still own a large corner of the market. Shout out skin tone nudes before Victoria did. They still own a large corner of the market.

Shout out to Cora Harrington, who has a Twitter that's all about lingerie that I'm obsessed with. But yeah, so they are like, well, we're going to we're going to pivot. We're going to be like, I think they're going to probably move in the like body inclusive skin color. Yeah. Like what's that brand? Is it Airy or something? That is a that they do do that. That's the reason I feel like there's a brand that's like Embracing all body shapes and sizes. Wait a second. There's a ton of them. Wait a second

Are you telling me that lingerie is no longer a thing anymore? Like that's going on I'll raise a thing. What they're saying is like Victoria's Secret was clearly like here's what you wear if you're a 6'1 skinny woman and look how sexy it looks. And they're saying, why don't we have more realistic lines of lingerie for all body types, I'm guessing. And skin colors. If you look at Rihanna's Fenty, uh... I'm going to tell you something right now.

Go ahead. Lingerie always looks good when it's too small. I'm just keeping it 100. Oh my God. When it's all the way up in the, when it's in the good when it's too small. I'm just keeping it 100 When it's all the way up in them when it's in the cracks, it's better when it's in the cracks. It's better That's a good t-shirt. Let's get that. I mean am I am I wrong? Depends I think three dudes am I wrong Well three dudes And a woman who likes women so I think you can ask the question

I think that it all depends on what everybody likes right so everyone likes their own thing Do you like that lingerie that has like the straps down the leg and all that shit as long as it's in the cracks I'm all good. Oh my god. That's your only requirement is that it's in the crack It has to be in the crack of the ass Revealing the better so you don't like it if there's like satin covering the butt you want it in the crack I want that shit to look like I would listen. I like Lord like Lord coming off It's coming off. That's amazing. It's coming off You're gonna buy that album because of that touch just cuz of that just cuz of the freaking shot

Um, if it listen it's coming off in five minutes, in less than five minutes anyway. You know what I mean? Like that, that's the other thing I don't understand about it. I'm always like, baby, put on some lingerie. She puts it on and within two minutes it's not on her anymore. Right. But it's for the moment where you're like, damn. Yeah, man.

That's a glorious two minutes. Is Lorde wearing, um, anything in that picture? I don't know. I don't know. She is? How do you know? How do you know, Dan? Did you zoom? Is she wearing anything in that picture? I don't know. I don't know. She is? How do you know? How do you know, Daniel?

Did you zoom? Daniel, did you zoom? No, I did not zoom. You zoomed. Yes, I zoomed. You know you zoomed. No, I did not zoomed. I couldn't tell if Lord was, this is a sentence I've never said, I couldn't tell if Lord was

nude. She definitely has decided to show off her bum. Yes. She said, I'm going to jump over that cameraman. Yeah. Yeah. But you can't tell if she's wearing a bathing suit or not or or or a bong Daniel I didn't zoom so I don't know. Yeah, I'm pretty now that you've looked now that now that you've taken a good look, Daniel

Yeah, Daniel now that you've looked do you confirm it on this because you're the one Yeah, it looks to me like she is wearing underwear. Yes, or a bathing suit. Yeah, I imagine at the photo shoot She wasn't gonna jump over the cameraman naked. So there you go Joel. Did you did you see the? Yeah, I saw it It was up I don't think you need to zoom You see her pretty well. It's Lorde, hey. What's up? Yeah, well, I think that's going to sell some albums.

I don't know how the music is, but everybody likes a nice bum. Oh, it's all slapping. Lorde's a great artist. It's all slapping. The music. Dude, I'm going to tell you what it now, man. She ain't had a real hit since Royals, though. Keep it 100. That's the fire. That's the real deal holy feel right there. That's the

timeless hit that'll play forever and ever and ever and ever. She's lucky to have one. Everybody's lucky if you have one of those. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah, you ain't wrong. That shit is fire. Royals. You're not wrong. She's had some time to make an album. Maybe it's going to be Fire, as you say. It's tough to touch that Royals, man. Keep it 100. Well, her last album was in 2017, so she's had some time. I've been listening to this Biebs song a lot. Which one?

I'm not ashamed. I'm not embarrassed, guys. Which one? Lonely or I Get My Peaches Out in Georgia? I am coming out of the closet today as someone who loves Justin Bieber Okay, you were in the closet about that. Yes.

That song is, I mean, originally it was a fire song when it's just a weekend, but Ariana Grande has taken that shit to the next level.

Yeah, it has that very And I want to like that done done done done done done by the way anyone has when I told Andrew I liked his song. He said oh, did you like those Phil Collins drums?

Yes. And in her new song, she's talking about I'm the one that hip to Billy Joel. Yeah. Come on, kiddo. That's not that old, is it? Is Billy Joel that old? Billy Joel did not have an in-popular culture career by the time this child was born. Is Uptown Girl really that old? Uptown Girl's older than me.

How old is her? She's 17, 18. She's like, I'm the one that taught you about Uptown Girl to this boy and the boy's going around teaching it to other girls. The new girl. The new chick.

You're just like, no, oh my God. The first song I ever learned in my life. Don't go changing to try and please me. Go ahead. You never let me down before My favorite part of that song is when it goes what you're trying to get into What you're trying to do We gotta focus on the show dude.

Alright, this is an episode that's so funny I love this whole riff in the lobby. I can't just unevite everyone. I got two e-yeses and two e-maybes. That's a lot of e-sponses. Yeah, dude. And then cuando? Oh, Joe 30 until upside down question mark. And then you look at me and you go, I borrowed your Spanish dictionary. And you're the only one, you're one of the only EESs. I've got 24 E-Mabies. Oh, Cuando?

Ocho 30 into Upside Down? I remember this episode very well, man. This is one of those episodes when I was watching and I was like, I down question mark. I remember this episode very well, man. Like, this is one of those episodes when I was watching and I was like, I remember shooting this. I remember shooting this scene, Quando, 830, upside, I remember shooting this and laughing so hard at that. I remember that.

This season, I think, is a really great season. I know we got off the rails a little bit with like, you know, ostriches and shit, but I just feel like, as we're starting to watch the season, I remember liking the season and feeling like we were just having so much fun. So much fun at this time. Yeah. Yeah. And, um, sacred fart. We didn't, you know, not expecting Kelso to like it, but Kelso finds it hilarious.

Sacred fart. Ha! Sacred fart. He goes, did you see the sign? Ha! And you do the safety dance. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Hey, hey, hey.

Until that moment, I had never heard that song. Oh, really? I take it back. I heard the song. I heard the song. I didn't know what safety dance was. You can dance if you want to. You can leave your hands behind.

Now, I don't know much about them, but they were a one hit wonder. And then you make some reference to the band that I didn't fully get. What do you mean? You say something about common door, common, common dot or something. You have a line. That's, um, Elliott says it to, uh, Carla as she was like, didn't you learn your lesson when you told him the commandant was coming to town? But I didn't get it either.

I'm going to look it up. I think the band is called Der Commandant or something. I don't know. It went over my head. He can dance, he can dance if he wants to. I laughed out loud. He can leave his friends behind. I laughed out loud at... So we're going through the list of things.

You or Elliot, we're going through the list. It's you and me and then I go. How could you not have slept in a hammock? Naked on a hammock. Naked on a hammock. I'm afraid of dragonflies. I laughed at that shit. I definitely made that shit up.

There's no way it was- I'm afraid of dragonflies. I'm afraid of dragonflies. I Definitely made that shit up Afraid of dragonflies. I'm afraid of dragonflies. Like why is that gonna really fuck up my naked sleeping in a hammock? I don't know and Kelso's really driving through this year that he loves Asian prostitutes. Yeah, I mean it's in every episode that Kelso really loves prostitutes of the that Kelso really loves prostitutes of the Asian persuasion. Of the Asian persuasion. So what do you think Jake's fantasy was? They were in there for four minutes. He probably said something really naughty.

Yeah. I mean, what is going to make a woman? She says, come on, Jake. Just come on in here. Just tell me what your wildest thing is. Anything is good. OK, so. And then the clock cuts to five minutes later, and not even. And they run out. Jake, just come on in here. Just tell me what your wildest thing is. Anything is good. Okay, so.

And then the clock cuts to five minutes later, and not even, and they run out, and she's like, oh my God, Jake. Like, what could it have been? Do you have anything like that where you'd be like, well, that's it. Nevermind. The hottest, the hot, the thing,

the moment that you've been waiting for with the woman that you've been waiting for, whether it's, like, let's go off the chain like the person you never ever In a million million years thought it would be possible You two are in a moment and this person says something To stop you guys from doing it. What would it be? I don't know. I mean something that's that would be painful I'm not really into S&M if she was like I've got the clamps Fucking cage I

Mean no disrespect to those who love it, but I just don't Get in the dog crate, it's all set up get in it eat that kibble motherfucker I It's all set up. Get in it. Eat that kibble, motherfucker. I don't know. What about you? What's your answer? I don't know, dude.

It's a tough one because like, I feel like I'm down for a- I mean, Jake, they don't even start. They just like, he talks her through it. Yeah, like, so this is what we're going to do. And she's like, that's it. No, it breaks them up. It breaks them up. Yeah.

It's pretty sad for poor Jake He finally felt comfortable to share his his pressure you pressured you pressured her into doing that, right? I did but I mean I wanted her to be honest and open with her lover Now she has a fantasy we learned that that's a very elaborate involving a Mexican Apple she crushed that monologue too That was so funny, but I thought this was the episode. There's one point where I fulfill her fantasy by dressing up as the Mexican Apple thief. But it's not that we're hooking up. I'm helping her with another man, I think. What? Don't you remember that? It must be this season, because this season has a runner of Elliot being obsessed with her whole elaborate Mexican Apple Thief sex fantasy

And there's some point where I dress up with like a Mexican poncho and and a sombrero And I'm sure it's not gonna be very PC, but I I know that I am playing a Mexican Apple Thief Yeah, I don't remember this. I don't think there's any skin painting or anything like that, but I do know that oh boy All right, I think I am wearing a sombrero JD cereal JD's bananas and nuts Oh man I was on fire this episode What about Doug pre tagging the patients toes yeah He's like I wrote one ish There are a lot of very funny, uh

Carla looking for couples to eat dinner with I know the I know how that goes dude. I know how that goes That's your wife. That is my wife get married. We'll have dinner together Yeah, so you she she she she always used to say that to me and find a girlfriend We can stop being our third wheel and go on double dates. Yeah. All right, now this whole, we got to talk about this whole triathlon thing. This was, the water was colder than you could possibly imagine.

We really went out to the beach, we were out in Malibu. And I remember that scene where I'm getting in the water is the funniest fucking thing. I laughed so hard, no wetsuit and like tiptoeing in trying to splash it on my body Yeah, but then there's a scene where you're actually swimming. I was out there in the water. Yeah, it was Freezing it was like 45 degrees no wetsuit and all the crew is in there with wetsuits, right and And what it was a hot day, but it didn't matter There was a hot day because the this is actually an interesting story. The water was freezing, but it was hot outside. So they had a big long board for me to get out onto for breaks.

Cause you couldn't stay in there very long and you just lost your breath. It was so cold. So I would do the gag, pick an apple, put it in your pocket. And we did that. And then I would, they give me a break. Okay, cut, cut, take a break. And I would get on the long board and it would be hot and the sun. And I was just kind of catch my breath. I did that so many times going back. And then I would, they give me a break. Oh, okay. Cut, cut, take a break. And I would get on the longboard and it would be hot and the sun.

And I was just kind of catch my breath. I did that so many times going back and forth, hot, cold, hot, cold. When I came out of there, I was like in ecstasy. It felt so amazing. I don't know if you've ever done this with like a cold plunge pool and a sauna. People, you know, or if you're at a spa or if someone, you know, has this, but if you go hot, cold, hot, cold, hot cold hot cold like 20 times you you have this euphoria come over you and I remember I remember I'll never forget it I was lying in my

trailer and I was like I felt like higher than I've ever felt in a good way and it was a hot cold hot cold don't they say that this is what you're supposed to do nowadays like isn't this a regimen that people are doing to combat dementia or something like that? I don't know about dementia, but it definitely felt good for anxiety if you can handle it. I know that people, I remember reading an article about Rick Rubin, the famous producer, had like a sauna and then outside his sauna an ice plunge. And he would do this.

He would go and there's other people that do it. They go back and forth, go back and forth andunge and he would do this he would go and there's other people that do it they go back and forth go back and forth and you have you get this like natural high from your body going I can tell you from this experience that I've never forgotten that it works I did it a lot because we shot that whole scene and I had to keep doing it keep doing it and it was amazing I felt I felt higher higher than I ever felt, but in a good way, and not a drug way, and like a, oh, enlightened way. That's dope.

We should go to break. All right, we're going to go to break, and we'll be right back after. What you trying to get into? What day soon? What you trying to do? Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

So listen to Moms Who Puck, a production of iHeart Women's Sports and Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment on the iHeart Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. And we're back.

We are back. Did you see that woman? I paid a fool that ain't listening to Fake Doctors Real Friends. Did you see that nice woman who covered the We Got A Caller song? She did a good job. She did. We want more of you to cover the songs. If you're a fan and you do covers, can you tag us in covers on Instagram? And if they're not horrible, we'll repost them. Right, Donald? I would love to hear like a 12-part acapella band do. What you trying to get into? Hear some stories.

Yeah, I was just gonna say it. About a show we made. Even something slowed down. Ooh. Yeah. About a bunch of doctor nurses. The dramatic cause. But anyway, the point is that if you do sing covers, please sing a cover of one of our

many ditties and we'll repost it. I want to talk about the, we were talking about the triathlon that JD does. It's more like a walkabout really when you think about it, right? He's having a moment in his life where he's trying to figure out what he's gonna do he needs a place to live and you know he's alone yeah no girlfriend no girlfriend he's lost and he goes on this journey yeah this quest through ocean land a vision quest yeah you're right yeah come through at the end and realize he has the help all he had to help all along it was offered to him in the beginning and he was so stubborn and he played it off as like you know we're

superficial friends we're not really friends yeah we like to keep it superficial but really JD and Elliot are there for each other, regardless if they're a boyfriend and girlfriend couple. You could say he can't do it all on his own. You could say that, but I chose not to. I wish you would have, to be honest. You wish I would have chosen not to say. No, listen, let's just bring it to a real place.

It's very hard to maintain a friendship. It's one thing to have an ex where you're like, you're tight, you're fine, it's cool, everything's all good. Like, how are you? Good, good. Oh, I saw your Instagram, you know, superficial talk. But these two are trying to be in each other's lives as best friends in a best friend group. That's really, and work together every day.

That's really, really hard. They're asking a lot of each other, and their way of trying to do it is to keep everything superficial. I mean, he literally says, dynamite teeth today, friend. So sparkly. I mean, they're just trying to keep it superficial. And finally, Elliot breaks down and goes, I can't keep it superficial with you. You're my friend. I don't know how to be fake with you. I need you. Do a dolphin costume. Oh my God, that dolphin costume. I don't get it.

So bad. I just didn't get it. That was one of those moments where it was like, Jesus. I loved it. He's hallucinating. Well, yeah, but you grab her face first. Oh, you're real. Thank goodness. I thought it was a hilarious choice that she's in a dolphin costume because he's tripping out and he's hallucinating. That was very funny. I thought it was very funny.

And I just thought it was sweet that she carried me and he got that Keen song, which I love. And I believe this going forward, Bill said season five on, they're all the original songs. They worked out what the deals would be from season five on. So the songs aren't replaced, as I understand it. Do you remember Keen? Love Keen. I don't know what happened to Keen. Remember the Bowery Bar?

Keen, me, you? Bill Lawrence? No, I don't remember that. You don't remember New York City don't remember New York City? I remember New York City. It's the big city in New York, right? Yeah, do you remember when we went and saw that show? Keen.

I've seen a few Keen shows, but go ahead. This was right when, this is right around this time when, uh, and if we have a moment, why don't we go? Talk about it somewhere only we know This could be the end of everything So why don't we go? You don't remember going somewhere. Well, we know It's great song. I don't happen to that band. They're so good We wouldn't solve them live at the Bowery Bar, dude. That's what I'm trying to say to you, bro.

Okay, we didn't see them at the Bowery Bar. That's not a venue. What is it then? The Bowery... There's a venue in the Bowery. It's not called the Bowery Bar. What is the big ass... Yes, now I'm getting what you're saying. It's on, it's on Houston, I think. Is it the Bowery or is it something else? We looked that up, Danil. You're the music guy here. What, the name of the venue or what happened to Keith?

What's the name of the venue? Because I looked up Bowery, if I'm not mistaken. Just called the Bowery. Bowery Ballroom. Bowery Ballroom! Yeah, that's what it is. The ballroom. Ass neck. Twat ears. Wow. Don't make me free Wow?

In the mirrors listen do not fuck my twat ears. Oh My god here comes the sound effect again down. I need that for my sound pad. I can get you both I get you both later today. I don't want a real Sexual noise I want Donald's yes, right a specific one. Yeah, no worries. I got you. Thank you What about when I'm pedaling the bike and I'm like, the only thing I've had to eat all day is a half a jellyfish. And then she says, why don't you just change gears? And I go, it's like peddling and hummus. And then I see, uh, um, Johnny Castle and Sam walk by with a pig.

With a freaking old pig. And they're eating the apple. One of them's eating the apple. They will see you at the luau. And I go, they already finished and cooked a pig? They not only finished, but they successfully cooked a pig on a, what do you call it, a spigot? Yeah. A spit. On a spit.

Or a spigot. What's a spigot? Do you think that spigot's where water comes out of? Water, yeah. Do you think that Johnny Castle and Sam, I mean, their characters actually cooked the pig themselves? I don't think they existed. I think that was the fake, I think they were a hallucination. No, no, no. Yeah, I think so, dude.

Well, what's a funnier answer? The funnier answer is that they've had that much time off from the triathlon. They've been done for so long. Yeah. But then the joke doesn't make sense when he grabs her face. Oh, and you're real, thank God. Oh my God. How about when you're getting ready to do the surgery for the woman, Oh my God. How about when you're getting ready to do the surgery for the woman, and they cut to... Without anesthesia, and they cut the cocks, putting cotton in his ears. That was so funny. And then you're like, you go, you got this, you got this. And then you see the hypnotist, he's whispering, what are you saying? He goes, I'm just saying, you got this, you got this.

Right. Did you see what he does when she starts screaming? No. It seems like he's going, Om Nesheba, Om Nesheba, Om Nesheba, Om Nesheba, Om Nesheba, Om Nesheba, Om Nesheba. Freaking Raisin' the Indian Jones and the Temple of Doom. No, but there's no way that woman would ever not scream. Hell no. First of all, you got one cut in, and she didn't scream. Yeah. But you know it was burning. You know that shit was burning.

You know, she was like, God, if he cuts me one more time, that's it. That's it. I'm not gonna be able to take it. Oh my God. And then she screams and then you go, obi nobi. This episode was hilarious, dude. And then Elliot carried me at the end to the finish line. Yeah, it's very, very, very polished. And then we're lying there together.

I mean, you get the sense in this episode, you can't help but go, maybe they will end up together. They're so cute together well you could tell that you could tell that she definitely has feelings for him yeah and he does for her well yeah the fact that she puts the dude on her back and carries him over the fence she loves him yeah you love tell already like like that that's foreshadowing in a big motherfucking way. You know what I mean? Yeah, because that's what you do with a partner, you lift them up. You you you carry them when they need to be carried. That's right. As New Edition once said,

Can you stand the rain? Elliot says yes. Yeah, I can. And also like that footprints thing that Jesus like, you know, when you didn't see my footsteps beside you, I was carrying you. Yeah. Footprints. Elliot is my Jesus. She's carrying me. Wow. It's deep.

Deep, right? We should probably go to break and then come back with a caller. Yes. We'll go to break and we will come back with an exciting caller. We'll be right back. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

Maybe talk about the episode. So come on Joel, let's get the show on the road. There he is, ladies and gentlemen. Give it up for Billy! Marty! What's up guys, How's it going? Billy, welcome to the podcast, my friend. Oh my gosh, it's so good to see you all.

It's so good to see you, my friend. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Thank you. Where are you calling from? Well, I live in Denver, but currently in the state of Washington, my girlfriend and I are actually living out of the van for the summer, traveling around. And yeah, we are taking a little break in an Airbnb, My girlfriend and I are actually living out of the van for the summer traveling around. Wow.

Yeah, we are taking a little break in an Airbnb, so it's actually good timing for this. I'm glad. Finally get to wash that ass, huh? Hi, Donald. We just met here. Don't talk about ass washing. But you know he's a dirty dude if he's not speaking. Yeah, you can't wash your ass in a van.

No, you cannot. I went down a rabbit hole with these conversion vans. I saw Nomadland and I know Nomadland was not meant to make me feel like I want to live in a van. But I did. I went down the rabbit hole. And is that what you're in some sort of converted van? Yeah, yeah. I bought a van a couple years ago, converted it myself, put some solar panels and batteries and all the works in it. So what do you got in there? What do you got in there besides a bed? Obviously, we've got a bed we've got we've got lights, we've got fans, we've got a heater. I got a lot of

storage for toys. My girlfriend and I love biking and paddle boarding all the outdoor sports. So we got a big old garage for everything in the back. So yeah, it's like a little log cabin in the bag. You have a fridge and a food? Yeah, we've got a little fridge. We've got a little kitchen stove, sink with like a little pump action faucet. So very basic. But you know, you did it. And then what about the peeing and pooing situation? Yeah, that one's a little difficult. Sometimes we

always try and prioritize having bathrooms nearby, but if emergency calls, we do have a bucket toilet with little baggies. They have that in Nomadland where they talk about pooping in a bucket. Yes, yes, yes, they do. Did you see Nomadland? I did, yes. I loved it. I thought it was very beautiful. I agree.

Did this make you want to change your lifestyle and this is why you're doing this? Well, I mean, I was doing it before Nomadland came out. We were not in the van at the time and it made us want to go back in. You must have to really, really, really get along with your girlfriend to live out of a van together. I mean, there she is. It feels like next level getting along, not just like, oh no, we love each other. Like, no, we're gonna get in a tiny van and tour the country.

Yes, yeah, we get along well. There are definitely some times where we kind of get at each other's nerves a little bit, but for the most part, yeah, we get along pretty well. What do you say? You're like, go to the back of the van. Oh my God. I like my alone time, so I always preface

like every time we go out, like I need some alone time. I need some time where I'm gonna go off by myself and do my own thing because- And she doesn't get upset by that? She does a little bit. She doesn't like being alone, so. No, I'm not. She understands.

Yeah, she understands. Donald, I can't picture you and Casey living in a van together. When we first started dating CBS asked us if we wanted to be a couple on the amazing race Oh, yeah, I was like I was like if we did it babe. I mean, yeah, we'd probably win but our relationship would be over Amazing race is very stressful on a couple. Yes, I couldn't imagine doing something like that. So being in a van with just me and Casey

or the kids with us. No, I was making it one step easier and saying it was just you and Casey. The kids would be ridiculous in a van. That'd be so difficult. Yeah, they'd be hitting each other and shit. Oh man. But I love these conversion vans.

They're all different levels and I'm always so interested in how people like do their layout and what they choose to put in there and what not and people go crazy with it. Yeah, there's there's a million different ways you can make them it just kind of all depends on on your needs. So you know, on Instagram, when you second you like start clicking on something and then it's just like sends you the mother load my feed for

a while was this like 90% conversion vans. Yeah, that's my girlfriend's Instagram right now. She just looks at conversion vans and just tells us all the ways we can improve ours. Yeah, that's fun though. It's not solar powered. Is it electrical or no? No, no, it's an older diesel van,

but we've got a solar panel on the roof that charges an external battery Which powers all of our electronics and stuff. You should look I mean, I don't know if you're into it But look into there's this I just bought a smoker You're into it. Yeah, it it's a one that can travel with you and it folds up really nice and small and it plugs into your electrical outlet or socket. So when the car is on, let me tell you something right now, I've been smoking some meats, man,

but you can smoke other things. You can smoke other things. You can smoke other things. You can smoke vegetables. Did I ever tell you that Donald goes to extremes He went from like a week of vegetarianism to buying a smoke. It was more than a week. It was more than a week It was a month and a half. Can this neck can the solar a month and a half respect it? Okay motherfucker Oh my god, not a billion. Please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I've just used Billy

All right, Billy give a question for us my friend? Yes. Yes, I do So my first question, I guess mainly for your Zack and Joel since you guys just got new dogs but Donald and Danel Daniel, please let me know if you guys have dogs as well and care to answer But I love asking this to all my friends who have dogs What TV or movie character do you feel like best represents your dog's personality? And would you be willing to pay a lot of money to have one of those dog collars from the movie up to bring that personality to life?

Wow. Wow. Joelle, do you have an answer right off the bat? First of all, yes, I would pay any amount of money to have my dog talk to me because I love her more than anything and I would love To hear what she's thinking in terms of who she is. I don't know. Well you go. I'm feeling it might be someone from rebels From being Mary Jane well, but she's also kind of a mess way to bring out my movie wife Yes, I love Gabby. And yeah, you know, lions, she she just turned six months. So, you know, she she's got 10 commands down. She's learning all the time. She's so sweet. We're getting so much better at the leash. But you know, then there's times where she's also a mess and she can't stop running around and she's tripping people. And when we meet dogs, she always wants to put her paw

on their face and I'm like, we don't have to, you could just sniff it and like, you know, be gentle. And she's like, I must leap onto everything. So she's a bit of a mess, but she's also super intelligent and getting there. So, you know. I'm also gonna choose a Gabby Union character, but from Bring It On.

No, I'm kidding. Yes. No, I think, I picture my dog like Kenny Schmidt. Okay. Very wide-eyed, optimistic and silly. Because my dog is very funny. My dog dogs have a sense of humor. I'm sorry if you disagree, but my dog is funny. She knows she's being funny and she does funny shit.

She's in the UK right now. I miss her. She's worldly my dog. Alright next question my friend. Yeah so my next question is more specific to Scrubs. One of my favorite kind of scenes of any of the episodes is one that you guys just recently covered but my boss's free haircut at the end the speech that Dr. Kelsall gives whenever he kind of bursts through the door and says nothing worth having comes easy. It's something that I find myself always kind of watching and whenever I need a little bit of a pick me up, some inspiration, some motivation.

My friend even sends it to me late nights when he's drunk sometimes and he knows I need a pick me up. So I want to know, is there any particular TV or movie scenes that you guys find overly inspirational, motivational, that you'll watch any time you guys need a little bit of pick me up or a little bit of motivation throughout your day? That's a good question.

Yeah, at the end of The Wiz, Lena Horne sings Believe in Yourself. Lena Horne's like the first black star in Hollywood. This movie comes out in 78, I think. And so this is like her last hurrah. And to get her as a fully realized performer, because she had to go through a lot before she was like fully on her feet, singing a song that very much sounds like everyone's grandmother just being like, listen, if you believe in yourself, you can go out there, you can conquer anything. Oh, oh, it just touches the spirit.

It lifts you up. It's such a good feeling. It really makes you feel like you can conquer the world. And I enjoy revisiting it. Donald something from Star Wars, I imagine, maybe something that Yoda says in a swamp. I have to is it could it be do or do not? There is no try. Yeah.

That is one of my favorite speeches. I'm not going to lie. That one and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Well, the force is what... What does he say? Oh my God. The force is what guides us. Well, whatever he says in the beginning...

Let me see. Whatever he says in the beginning. Let me see. So when I really think about it, one of the greatest speeches, there's quite a few of them, but the one that comes to mind is Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday, his speech at the end, when he's talking to the players. Yes. For some reason, that's one of those speeches like you could. I know Al Pacino in the big football guy and, you know, he doesn't come across as a coach, you know what I mean?

Throughout this whole movie, you know what I mean? But his conviction and when he's talking to the players and telling them, you know, you go that extra mile for every inch, you know, when he really gets into it, it's one of the most powerful speeches there is ever in cinema. And so that's one I watched quite a bit. There are other ones. But that's one of the first ones I came to watch. I can't really think of one.

I'm thinking, I mean, I happen to be looking at my Shawshank Redemption movie poster and so what came to mind was like Morgan's end monologue of Shawshank and then when I thought about it, I got goosebumps on my legs. So I don't know if it's necessarily inspirational, but just a, I remember that that monologue about when he finally gets freedom and then he finally goes and meets Andy Dufresne on the beach. Yeah, I don't know. That's what came to my mind. Cause I'm, I, I did a little bit of a, um, uh, what's that? What's that Kevin Spacey movie where he walked?

Uh, I did a little usual suspects when I looked up and, and saw the movie poster on my wall. But it's, it's for me, it's never really, uh, it's never really. I use Al Pacino as an example. It's never really, it's never really, I use Al Pacino as an example, it's never really the speech. It's always the music that really takes you over the top. Oh, yes. You know what I mean? And so there are quite a few moments in ET when ET is leaving after Gertie says bye to him and and

You know, he's he's looking at Elliot and Elliot goes, you know, he says come and Ellie goes day all that then the music is That shit is fire. And that's always what grabs me. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

We're here to help. Thank you. Oh, yeah. My fix your life is surprisingly about moving in with my girlfriend. Although we've been living in a band together, we don't actually live together at home, but we were planning on moving in together

for the first time we get back. I'm somebody who's definitely had my fair share of commitment issues when it comes to relationships from time to time. So I am freaking out a little bit about moving in. So just love some advice about moving in with a significant other for the first time. We talk about it, how we've done it in a van,

but the kind of advantage of being in a van is that we're always traveling and seeing new places. And I think that kind of energy may draw away from some of the tension that we have of always spending time together. And it's a little bit of a different story when you're sharing a house for the first time. Uh, so yeah, we love your guys advice on how to make that work and kind of how to get over that anxiety of the commitment of

moving in with somebody. Well, both Donald and I have both moved in and out with several women. Yes, this is true. This is true. Both Donald and I have both moved in and out with several women Yes Keep the boxes I'm just kidding No, no, that's good advice. That's good advice For a different for a different reason entirely, but you know after you guys give your answers. I have my own answer for this Because I'm moving out spoiler alert Billy, that's a perfect segue into what you're saying.

It's not like you're getting married. You're just moving in together. Right. Keep the boxes A and B. Keep the boxes A. Just fold them up, put them in the garage behind some cans. I think one of the smartest things you can do, you mentioned house, so it won't be a tiny apartment, right? That's right. Yeah. Is if you each have your own room, that is not to say bedroom, you share a bedroom. But if you have the space to each have a quote unquote office or her hangout room and you have your man cave or whatever it is. I think a space that's not the bedroom that you can

each call your own again, if you have the square footage is really, really healthy. Um, because sometimes you just want to be on alone and the shared bedroom isn't the right spot, you know, obviously, cause you can both be in there. Sometimes you just kind of miss having your own bedroom and you don't really have a bedroom. And the shared bedroom isn't the right spot, you know, obviously, because you can both be in there.

Sometimes you just kind of miss having your own bedroom. And you don't really have that in a relationship. So if you have the square footage, I think being able to say like, okay, that's your office, that's your room, this is my area, you know, I think to be able to sort of retreat to your own space. And if the person's messier than you they can keep that room However, the hell they want so they have they have a ace you each have your a space that you can kind of claim as your corner if you will

Donald your thoughts Yeah, I mean sure That's one way to do it. Another way to do it is to not worry about it. If you guys wanna live together, live together. If you really don't wanna live with her, you know right away when she says, let's do it, and you say to yourself, no, I don't wanna do it. You know if you wanna do it or not.

All of that stuff is bull crap, but it's like, I'm so hesitant because I don't know. You know whether you wanna do it or not. Well, it's one that you can have anxiety about it, but anxiety can also be excitement. It's somewhere between that. I'm excited about it, but I'm nervous about it. I think it's legitimate to feel all those feelings. I knew for a fact that I wanted to move in with my wife. I knew it. But when she moved in and

started taking out all like throwing all your Legos away and saying you're not going in my leg go away okay when she came there's no such thing as Legos it's like oh calm down calm down calm down okay calm down did when she came in and said these Legos got to get off the dining room table. And these arcade games gotta go. And this poker table is getting the fuck out of here. Did you have any thoughts of like, oh no. No, it's what I wanted.

I was ready for that. You know what I mean? I knew that that's what I wanted. Do I miss the video games? Do I miss the Lego? Do I miss the video games? Do I miss the Lego? Do I miss the poker table? Yes. Okay.

Yes, I do. But I love my wife and kids. Yes. Oh no, don't go get... This is the level you wanna get to, Billy, being so P-whipped that you can't leave your wife for a simple podcast. Well, I know Daniel just moved in with his lady.

What advice do you have? Yeah, I have some advice for you. Let's say, are you guys furnishing an entire place? No. So you have stuff already? Yeah, we're lucky. Her mom actually has a place that we're renting from her mom, so it's already furnished.

So yeah, it's a good situation for that. Yeah. Well, my main advice is going to to be when you move in together, take the first month to set up everything. Like if it means you're putting off every plan that you're going to have, like just set up everything in the first month so you don't leave anything hanging around like we're dealing with a dresser that we ordered months ago that was back order that we finally got that we don't like,

that we're now returning. We are still without a fucking dresser to put our clothes in. And it sucks. And it's like a piece of tension because we don't have this one thing covered. And it's not because we didn't handle it. It's because everything was backorder. Then we got it and it wasn't what we wanted, etc. Blah, blah, blah. Like there's a lot of things to get in the way.

But if you can do everything you can to set up everything in your house in the first month, you will be so much happier. You won't have let anything hang on. There won't be this like lingering tension about you want to get this thing done or that thing done. Just set everything up in the first month. Just get it all done as fast as you possibly can so that you can continue living your life. And what about the boxes?

You said you were going to say some boxes. Keep the boxes. The reason that I'm saying keep the boxes is not so that you can move out quickly. It's so that in case you don't like something, you can return it. You still have the original box because a lot of these furniture companies are going to nickel and dime you about stuff like, oh, well, it's not returned in the original box. And like you'll get something with white glove delivery and they'll take the boxes and you'll be oh, great, they threw away the trash. But then the return policy is so specific about how you have to return the thing in the original box, even though our white

glove delivery service took the fucking boxes away. We found a raw nerve. We found a raw nerve with Danil. Now, Billy, I have an idea, an exercise you could do when you're in your van together, pooping in a bucket. You could turn to her and say, honey, no, I'm being serious. You could say, hey, let's talk about things that are pet peeves of yours before we move in together that are little things. Like, you know, whatever the stereotypic toilet seat or the way that the toilet paper should go over, not under or any little minutia. What are things, my darling sweetheart, whom I love so much? Sounds a little condescending.

I'm adding the twist on it. Billy will say it much kinder. What are things that when you live with a roommate, whether it was a lover or a friend, that have irked you before? Because I don't want to do those things. Right. And then she can have her turn.

And you can make it funny. You guys can joke about it and make a list. But I think going into it being like, I had no idea that you really fucking hate it when anyone leaves, you know, whatever, dishes in the sink, whatever it is. And then you get like maybe 10 things out of the way. It's like, you're clear on those things.

Yeah, I joked with her that because I'm very messy that she's gonna have to get me a shock collar and every single time she's just gonna have to buzz me until I was finally trained into Cleaning up after myself and not being so messy. So that would make me want to move in with you right away Yeah, I get to electrically I get to shock you electrically. Yeah every time you do something I don't like yeah, I'm moving in Or maybe just just no going into it. You can't be messy or it's gonna be a friction So just like you you know, it's you have to you have to take on cohabitation With knowing you're gonna make some you know

What's the word? Compromises You're gonna make some compromises, you know, you don't want to, if you want it to go well. I feel like couples often argue by stuff that's so trivial just because they never really worked it out. And then they don't want to say anything because let's like, let's not sweat the small stuff. But then it builds and you become resentful and you're like, motherfucker change the toilet roll.

I have a sticker. I have a post-it note on my computer that says stop yelling. Because sometimes I play, not yell, but I get I definitely vocalize my video game frustration. Oh, I thought you meant yelling at her about you. No, I thought you yelled at her. You had to put up a post to say, don't yell. Whoa. Absolutely not.

My my kid and you might have a lot of do you do a lot of this, Daniel? No, no, it's not like that. It's it's rich. Do you do a lot of rage? It's not it's not raging as much as it is is like very excitedly yelling about things that are about to happen More like the magic mojide potion didn't work you should If you saw if you saw our D&D stream from a couple days ago You would know that anytime we get caught by a trap or something my character gets very upset that we You've walked into a trap again. What were you thinking? Anyway, is your character British? Yeah. Yeah, Gorth Clamley

He's a bard halfling bard. He's British. Okay. Wait, wait one more question Is this a video game or you're playing the board game D&D? We're playing the board game D&D but we play with what board game D&D, but we play with what's called a virtual tabletop where it all takes place on the computer. So we're all on zoom together. That's how we got through the quarantine. Come on now. That's how you got through the quarantine.

Virtual tabletops. Yes. It's great. I wasn't invited. It's the future, baby. Anyway, Billy, you're invited every Wednesday. You're welcome. Billy, you're welcome.

And Hey Billy, I, if you're ever in Southern California California I have a couch for you when things don't work out Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, I might need that just drive over You don't have to poop in a bucket and you can just stay on my couch. Okay, that'll be a relief I don't like pooping in buckets No, all kidding all kidding aside You know if you guys are willing to live in a van together and go through this, I have a feeling you'll do great in a house, you know what I mean? I agree. Yeah, I'm hopeful. And Daniel, I think

you're right with getting everything set up beforehand. One thing we learned about living in a van is that minor annoyances become big annoyances over time. And so eliminating those makes life a lot easier. So I think that's a great one. And do my list thing, I'm telling you, it's gonna be good, Billy. Yeah, I will. You're gonna say, honey, darling,

what are some things that really annoy you about cohabitating with someone? Yeah, I'll have her write that right now. And then you do yours, and then you could like make it funny, do it over a drink. Would be hilarious if it turns out to be like Elliot in this episode where We're like right away within four minutes of her telling him what pisses her off. He's like I can't live with this woman

Yeah No, and in the show in the episode in the episode because of a sexual a sexual fantasy. Oh Yes, so with the new boyfriend. Yeah, he tells her in private and five minutes later, she's like, what the fuck? And they break up because of it. And we never ever learned what he said. We never know what his twisted fantasy was.

All right, Billy, good luck and thanks for coming on. And- I think we did it, dude. We did, right? Yeah, you guys helped. And, and we did it dude. We did. Yeah. You guys helped. And hey, before I go, I just got to say thank you for letting you know the impact that scrubs had in my life.

Told you all this, but when I was 20 years old I was diagnosed with a pretty serious heart condition. Actually a heart condition that the, I learned the real JD actually treats in its current practice. So that was kind of a fun fact. But I spent the next couple of years in and out of hospitals a lot, even having heart surgery when I was 24. And one thing that always helped me through every time I'd have to go to the hospital or a doctor, because I felt pretty scared and nervous is that I would always just

imagine that I was on an episode of scrubs and it would always make me feel that I was a little bit better. And I was always just waiting for Dr. Dorian or Dr. Turk to come around the corner and tell me everything was going to be all right. So, thank you guys so much for everything you're doing. You're very sweet, and I'm so happy that you're okay now. You look fantastic. Yeah, doing great. So, thank you guys so much. Our pleasure. Thanks for coming on, brother. Thank you so much. All right, have a good one. All right, guys, and that's our show. Thanks for coming on brother. Thank you so much. All right Have a good one. All right guys, and that's our show. I think we did it Donald, right? I'm pretty sure we did it

All right, you well that was really cool man, you know, it's always great to hear from fans and listeners, you know I have comforts that I turn to when I'm down and out and stuff like that. And it's really cool to be a part of something that so many people use as a comfort. That's so true. We hear that all the time. And every time I hear it, it brings a giant smile on my face that we brought anyone, any amount of comfort. All right.

We love you and we hope you're happy. We hope this finds you smiling and we'll see you next time. Donald? Five, six, seven, eight.
