The following podcast is a dear media production.
I'm Josh Peck.
And I'm Ben Sauffer.
And we're the good guys.
There's a lot of guys out there.
And we're the good ones.
Welcome to the podcast.
Good guys, good gals.
We have famous comedian here, documentary filmmaker.
I mean, we'll see.
Adam Ray.
Adam, Adam, Adam,
and like the ill fandom Seattle Cracking jacket that he got because
Bert Kreiser basically steals from every venue he works.
He steals.
He's a known.
I was about to.
say another word but klepto.
Sometimes I get klepto and peto
like mixed up, you know what I'm saying?
That's a bad mix up. It's not like
a, you know, there or there.
Like, you know, the misspelling.
It's like a, those are two different lifestyles, I think.
Klepto is, you know, cousin Rick's got a problem.
Yeah.
Petto is we don't talk to cousin Rick anymore.
Everyone's got a fucking weird cut.
Can you curse on this?
Please.
Everyone's got a motherfucking mother.
No, I don't want to be like my nephew.
My nephew is nine.
He's cursing for just the sake of cursing.
And I remember being that age and started going a quick tangent right out of the gate.
But he is just like last time I went home, he goes, shit motherfucker, shit motherfucker tits.
And I go, never change, have a bomb-ass summer is what I would write in your yearbook.
If you said that to me on the last day of school.
I mean, and it's funny.
And he says it with a smile.
He doesn't say it to be cool.
So he's like, oh, look at this new thing I found out I can do.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Josh, Josh.
Josh, has Max ever cursed?
He'll say like, oh, heck.
man and I'll be like that's awesome. I feel like we're at Christian camp. It's on the delivery though,
but I think kids when they don't know what to use, I think most kids don't know what context
to use like, like fuck you like they just say it to say it right? Yeah, at home it's really funny.
In school, it's a little less funny. Yeah. I have nieces and nephews and like my brother-in-law
and sister-in-law just curse like sailors and the girl is too and I'm just positive. I'm like, oh man,
And it is coming and it's coming hot and it's going to be hilarious until she says it to her teacher.
And then it's not going to be fun anymore.
I got kicked out of kindergarten for saying diarrhea, a kid, tattled on me.
Remember tattel, tattletails?
Sure.
Is that a, that's considered a curse?
Diaries.
It was in Brookside Elementary.
Diary is a medical term.
And I wasn't just saying it like, diarrhea, diarrhea.
I was singing the famous song when you're sliding into first and you feel something burst.
Diarrhea.
Have you not heard this?
Of course.
Okay.
I had a childhood kind of until Nickelodeon robbed it from me.
I'm just thinking that maybe we have like some kind of class action suit, though, against this school.
Because diarrhea is a totally fun term.
We should go after them.
Speaking of weird nursery rhymes, I was thinking of this one the other day because I heard it in one of my son's, I don't know, YouTube videos.
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream.
If you see a crocodile, don't forget to scream.
What?
Oh, I won't forget.
They changed it.
They changed it.
Yeah.
That feels like an adaptation.
They did.
There's more to the song that none of us know.
And one of the verses is on the deep track,
don't forget to scream if you see a crocodile.
First of all, crocodiles are one of the scariest animals on earth.
And they will kill you.
Don't get it confused with a gator.
They want you dead.
I think that's all they want.
Yeah.
They want food, but they want people first.
And if you happen to be tasty, that's a double bonus.
That said, we're here drinking or eating creatine
and doing all these shots and pumping ourselves up
and trying to give ourselves longevity the crocodiles,
these guys live forever.
The alligators, they live forever.
Well, they have, you know, I don't know, improv stuff.
Thanks for having me, guys.
I was about to insert fun fact about alligators or crocodiles.
What's the difference?
Such a great question.
I have no fucking clue.
No idea.
Marshall, what's the difference?
Do you know?
I'm asking chat to you.
Wow, we have an active producer here looking things up.
We have made it, y'all.
Let me ask you this.
Marsh just said, I'm going to ask you.
chat GBT.
Oh, Julia knows.
What is it?
Ah, one is freshwater, one is salt water.
Boom.
How about that?
So really, they're exactly the same.
And you said you wouldn't learn any crocodile alligator facts today, Marsh.
He said that as soon as I walked in.
You ain't learning shit about these creatures.
The main categories of differences are snout shape habitat, which includes the freshwater
That sounds anti-Semitic.
Snout shape, yeah.
Come on, dude.
It's 2024.
Oh, yeah.
Talked up.
Can't just walk around talking like that.
One's better at accounting.
One is a circumcised tale.
Well, you know, on the podcast, we basically, we do like pop culture news articles.
We do speak pipes, which are sort of questions that are sent into us from our wonderful
fandom, aka the morons.
That's their name.
Oh, really?
How do they get that name?
Ben?
They're morons.
Most people are.
We call like we see it.
That's it.
Morons be morons. We're morons too.
Bro, we all are. I'm starting to really push the sentiment in my new hour.
People be peoplin.
And just that, basically what that means is it's tough to be a fucking person.
The amount of people, because there's a lot of stuff I'm talking about
what people are putting their feet in their mouth, whether it's baseball broadcasters,
you know, just saying, you know, this joke about Shohei Otani dealing with an injury
and the sidekick was like, oh, they're going to have to be very, very careful.
And, you know, shit like that were.
And then, you know, the rest of it.
Yeah, crazy. He got suspended clearly.
but but just you know that it's tough to go outside and not you know say we're all just trying to like do our best but also like from here to here is like easier said than done it's just in Utah home of the Mormon crazy place what an interesting place did I run into any of them no they did you just don't know it that's true they could have been undercover Mormons they could have been undercover I would watch six seasons of that undercover Mormon
That's incredible.
Now I'm peacock.
You're driving, you're looking to the right, you see beautiful ranches and horses,
and then all of a sudden you see a really scary church and you're like,
oh, they're definitely around here somewhere, but no, you don't see them.
You don't see them, especially in Park City.
For the most part, Mormons are kind of just nice.
Yeah.
They're good, no, they're good people.
They're good people, for sure.
Oh, yeah, BYU, BYU, good athletes too.
They definitely, though, but, you know, there's some of their rules
or at least like, you know, guidelines to life where they're like,
like, you know, I won't drink, but I'll like pull the plug of my grandma, like, real quick.
Like, I don't know.
Like, I don't believe in euthanasia.
You're already here first.
You're going to spread that.
I think, like, you know, I think they don't believe in sex before marriage, right?
But I think they'd, I think they'd like push a bucket of puppies off a hill before they would have premarital sex.
But there, we've had the wonderful Sophia Franklin on the podcast.
And she, well, she grew up in Utah.
She's actually half Argentinian Jew.
to thought. Wow, they have those. There's so many different like flavors of what we got going.
Yeah. After World War II, we fled. We're everywhere. We're everywhere. We're everywhere.
We're like the Epstein list. We're everywhere, man. We're everywhere. Okay. In 2024, you got to stop

Okay, so this first article that I read, well, I think it's worth talking about,
and this is now going to be probably a week later.
But this whole Jimmy Kimmel, Aaron Rogers feud, is fascinating.
Now, is it worth talking about?
I think so.
I think Aaron Rogers is fascinating in an awful way.
I think he's a boring dud of a human.
But that's just my own personal opinion.
I'm sure he's, I don't know.
And not that you need to be an exciting, personal, whatever athlete.
It definitely, I don't think he cares about, I mean, I don't know.
He was doing this stuff and he got in commercials.
So you got to have a decent amount of pizzazz.
but I don't, it's always interesting to me
and maybe I'm coming from the, the comic standpoint,
of someone that thinks they're hilarious
and they don't do it.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Like, he has this weird, like, confidence to him
where he's like, I'm fucking Aaron Rogers, dude.
You know what I'm saying?
I've always felt that from him.
What do you think, Ben?
What's your feelings on the whole Jimmy Kimmel feud?
Well, one, Jimmy Kimmel is a close personal friend of yours, Josh.
Not technically.
Well, I, you know, he's a, you're a man, went to his house,
You guys shared a nice dinner.
I don't know what I can say about Jimmy Kimmel.
I was going to talk about Aaron Rogers,
but now you're dear friends with Travis Kelsey.
So all of a sudden, I feel like I can't say anything about anybody.
That said what I was going to say is that Aaron Rogers,
you brought it up earlier, people v. Peepleyn.
I think that we forget that people be people.
Like celebrities and athletes are still people.
They still say things.
It's like they have a right to talk the way that we talk.
1,000.
They just have a little bit more of a microphone for everything that they say.
and I absolutely love somebody that's opinionated and isn't afraid to share their views,
regardless of I think they're true or not.
I think there's just far too much censorship in general, which is what I think you meant by
people be peoplin.
So when Aaron Rogers says things that poke people, I typically enjoy it.
I do think that Jimmy Kimmel, having spent his entire career poking every one all the time professionally,
I think he should have slightly tougher skin.
It's fascinating because like Aaron Rogers is like a really fun liability
because he just, he'll say some wild things.
And I think we're so used to, because he is an incredible talent,
we're so used to the Tom Brady's who were like infallible.
Like they took that role so seriously as being like one of the greats that they,
everything was measured.
And so when you see someone in that similar position kind of shooting from the hip at
times it's a little bit more surprising but I think Lauren Michaels has it right which
if you notice if you're on SNL you really are technically not allowed to have a Twitter
like or an X like basically under when you are under that umbrella he's like why don't you
chill out with these opinions of yours right and just be a good worker yeah and in a couple
years hopefully you're super famous you don't need the show anymore and you can go say whatever
the heck you want yeah I think if I owned an NFL team I'd be like
Like no social media.
I get why he's fired up because he's a family dude and he's just like,
it is a crazy accusation to even be saying.
But it's also like, I don't know, it's clearly probably, I mean, you know, who knows?
I saw some slide of their, you know, throwing, who else did I just see that they were saying was on the list?
Oh, Jim Carrey.
Stephen Hawking?
Well, he for sure was there, for sure.
I mean, let's not even beat around the bush on that.
Are you kidding me?
They had Wi-Fi there.
He could hook up to his Bluetooth.
He flew the plane.
All you just hear him go is, this is lit.
Are you sure they're old enough?
Yeah, he just was...
I watched Jimmy Kimmel, and more often than not,
I think that he throws jabs,
and I just don't think they're that funny.
And I think that Aaron Rogers probably got jabbed,
no pun intended.
No, no, pun intended, baby.
By Jimmy Kimmel, and he took offense,
and he threw a jab back
that he thought was equally not funny.
So I think there's probably an even score in his mind.
I agree with you.
He's not a professional comedian.
I don't think that you have to be a professional,
comedian to try to tell a joke. But I definitely am a little bit biased because I just don't ever
find people funny. Can we agree on this, Ben? Can we agree if you dish it out, you should be able to
take it? Oh yeah. Big time. I think we can also agree with like, don't take yourself too seriously,
you know? Yeah. And I feel like, do you think that Rogers, I feel like Rogers takes it. Like,
you talk about people writing online. Would you agree or no? I mean, I also think, I think he's at a,
I truly feel like he's a type of guy that doesn't, is pretty self-absorbed.
So I think he doesn't even feel what's coming at him.
I think he's, I think there's like a, maybe not a wallup,
but I think it's like it's bouncing off because he's created this.
And who knows if it's come out of his ayahuasca trips,
but I think he's got some sort of a shield,
and he's just fucking throwing fastballs and not really receiving.
But, and I also know some comics that kind of knew him for a bit
and have told me some stories that are not favorable.
about him his just overall personality.
That fuels this a little bit,
but also I try to assess everything on its own.
Case by case.
So Josh is the singular neutral party.
I hate Kimmel, you hate Rogers.
We're debating.
I don't even hate Josh is sitting in the middle.
Oh man, this is how rumors.
I don't even hate Rogers, though.
I hate football and I hate late night.
Let's not bury the lead.
Your friends with Travis Kelsey?
I was just about to say that.
Were you friends with him PT or AT?
Oh, about five years now.
pre- Taylor.
Oh, yeah.
So in those four years before he dated Taylor, were you ever like,
you're the kind of guy that could date Taylor Swift?
Oh, yeah.
I said, dude, I said, let me make a list for you real quick.
T. Swift.
Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama.
Yeah.
Stephen Hawking.
Stephen Hawking's sister.
Does he have any siblings, Stephen?
No.
He is nothing.
Marsh?
Yeah.
I mean, I was not surprised at all because I'm like, yeah, he's the fucking,
he's so cool and fun.
And who knows what she's been accustomed?
too, so it's probably a breath of fresh air to be with somebody that's, I don't know,
not so, I mean, his star has definitely risen, right?
But I mean, I always kind of assess it too by, I've had friends, I'm sure we all
have that I can get on a rocket ship and then all of a sudden you just don't hear from him.
And you're like, you know Pete Davidson too?
No, kidding.
I do, yeah.
Wait, is Travis's number still the same since?
And how?
And it gets right.
Yeah.
And, yeah.
And also, I, and what is it?
I try to not, I try to judge, it's been numbers.
I try not to judge when people get like, it's like, what a wild thing.
Like, imagine like, you know, when Obama became president, like the amount of homies in his life that were like just harassing him like, dude or whatever.
I mean, you know, I'm saying like you're still a human and a guy.
I'm a little busy.
Yeah, no shit.
I mean.
Sorry, I can't get back to you, Dan.
People want their moment.
It's like when they go to state of shows and people, you know, if they're coming to see and they scream something.
and out to get their moment. It's like people want that, but it's like, you know, you know,
you try to have some, you know, understanding of how busy. But, but he gets back and
sometimes it's right away and sometimes it's a couple days, sometimes it's a couple weeks.
And, but that to me was right away like a, oh, cool, like values the people in his life,
takes the time to do that. But would you do what I would do, which if, and it's happened. I've done it.
I'm sure we all have worse. Sometimes you don't reply for a week or two.
Sure. Now, in the days leading up to that, me, I'd be like,
Some piece of shit.
Yeah.
Changed.
Got to his head.
And then the moment that reply comes in, I'd be like, good old fucking trash.
Best.
TK.
Best.
TK.
Back, baby.
Right?
So quickly, my tune changes when I get that reply in the text.
Yeah.
Ben, do you have somebody in your life that's, I don't know, kind of will sparse with their
communication?
Yeah.
Plenty of people.
Similar situations.
I think athletes in general are alike that because they get very busy for,
Especially during the season.
Yeah.
Especially baseball players.
Like baseball players won't respond to you for two,
three weeks and yeah,
it'll come back like,
like nothing's ever changed.
But yeah,
other than that,
my wife,
like she'll go a couple weeks without responding to me.
And things will be right.
No,
but no,
but me and Josh.
I would say that Josh and I occasionally will,
we'll leave an answer,
something unanswered for a couple of days.
And then I'll go back.
I'll say,
oh,
that was a really funny TikTok and then we'll start again.
So I don't know.
I think,
I think,
I think texting culture in general, there's so much freaking pressure.
Like, if you're in the middle of a conversation, if you're in the middle, no, if you're in the
middle of a conversation, definitely don't drop the ball because that's weird.
It's the same thing as having a phone conversation.
But to be like expected to be 100% accessible all the time is like, is, I don't think
it's healthy.
Yeah, I had a friend comedian.
He was in Portland.
And I texted him on a, I think it was Friday.
So the beginning of his weekend of shows, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
He texts me back on Tuesday.
And he's on his phone constantly.
I mean, this is someone that's just could use a break from the electronic habit.
And I text him Friday, and he texted me back Tuesday and goes, sorry, man, I was in Portland.
It actually made me laugh because I was like, oh, he means that.
Like, this is why he couldn't get back.
I get that.
Great.
I had a weed dealer once.
The only time I've ever had one that I didn't know, right?
Then I got to a point where I was like, oh, I know buddies that'll just, when I'm around them,
and if I want to, you know, grab some bags of treats.
And this kid, he always ever, only ever had shake.
So just big bags of just bad weed.
And I remember I texted him, let's say again, like on a Tuesday.
And I was like, hey, man, you're around just in town, just got back.
Would love to come grab a bag if you have famous fucking bad weed.
And he texted me back, no joke.
A month and a half later.
Yeah, swing by.
Sick.
I remember.
Cool.
Like nothing had happened.
Like no time had passed.
I don't know.
I thought that was going to get a crazy response.
You guys don't do drugs.
Weird.
No, I'm 15 years sober.
I'm a typical child star.
I remember buying weed in New York.
Relate to the fans.
Well, I was so used to buy weed in L.A., which is a different setup.
Right.
So New York, like, first of all, the law isn't this time, like, it's a mid-2000.
So the laws are stricter.
It's not legal.
Yeah.
And it's also like your dealer can't just, like, usually come over.
Like, most dealers have cars or bikes.
Yeah.
So I get here.
And you're getting in that.
And you're getting in that car.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
What a fuck.
Oh, yeah.
That's the only way I've ever picked up drugs.
You got to get in their car, go around the block, pray that they don't kidnap you and take the money and shoot you right in the head.
Yo, that's pre-Uber too.
Is that so funny?
Your mom taught you not to get in the car with strangers.
I've sometimes been at an Uber for four and a half minutes and been like, for Adam, right?
And they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm like, oh, fuck.
Yeah.
You know what a wild thing that we just jumped on board with?
Well, it's all so scary.
but I remember being in this, this buying weed from this drug dealer,
and I didn't, like, what would happen is he had some stash box in the car,
like, that was hidden from the police and hidden from view.
And it would just appear, right?
Like, I would hand him 60 bucks or 100 bucks, and like an eighth would appear,
and then it would be done.
And I remember once he put it in a plate, I gave him the money,
and we're just having, like, a quick second of small talk.
He put it in a place where I couldn't really see it.
It was slightly obscured.
So I'm like, I guess I got to keep talking until it arrives.
Yeah, you do.
So now we're 10 minutes in.
About what?
Who knows?
Yeah.
Pokemon.
Like, just.
Isn't it funny when you want the, like the things that you were just scrambling and trying
to create conversation over?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's 2007, right?
You think they'll ever remake Beauty in the Beach?
I mean, just, like, reach in for.
You don't think there'll be a housing crisis, do you?
Like, do you think in a year and a half we'll have our first African American president or
No.
You think Mike Pence ever gets a fair shot?
Yeah.
And I could just see he's like, let's go.
And then finally like a beer or something like, oh, I didn't, you hit it so good.
And I grabbed it and just got the hell out of there.
Oh, my God.
I don't have to promote element because I live it.
I live that magnesium life.
I live that potassium life.
And so should you.
Because do you like muscle cramps?
Do you like fatigue? Do you like headaches? Do you like brain fog?
Well, if you do, turn this out off right now.
But if you're a normal person who doesn't want those things, maybe you need more electrolytes in your life.
Maybe you need a little magnesium and potassium for those muscle cramps so that you can sleep better.
And elements are going to offer you all of that, okay?
It's going to help you stay hydrated without the sugar and other dodgy ingredients found in popular electrolyte drinks, sports drinks.
and it's going to help that electrolyte deficiency or imbalance that's making you feel all those things.
It's a zero-sugar electrolyte drink mix.
It's got, you know, sodium levels that are two to three-time government recommendations.
You're really going to get that amount of electrolyte that people are looking for.
And Rob, who is the co-founder, he's a research biochemist, a New York Times best-selling author two times,
which hurts because I'm a zero-time New York Times best-selling author.
I don't want to talk about it.
And has now sat on the Navy SEAL Resiliency Committee for over a decade.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Are you too good for the Navy SEALs?
Right.
That's what I thought.
Look, it's great.
I love Element.
I drink it every day of my life.

If you can check out my documentary,
Doug.
Doug.
Streaming now on YouTube.
Tell people about,
I watched you yesterday.
Excellent.
Thanks.
Doug Air is this?
Yes.
I didn't know his story at all and you had promoted it.
So how did you?
So Brian, his brother is a physical therapist, you know, now to the stars and just a wizard
with healing people.
And his brother, Doug in the late 70s was, you know, working as a lifeguard at a pool and,
you know, crushing life, going to college play football, just a good looking kid and
his family is all intact.
and just having a great time and jumps into the pool to save a kid who was pretending to drown
and breaks his neck and is, you know, paralyzed, quadriplegic.
And now he's in, completely, as he says, in the dock, his life ended and began in that moment.
And I knew rough details of this story.
And I got to know, Brian, through a family friend, had insane back issues.
And he, I was in New York and he, three days of, like, aggressive stretching.
There's another name for what the practice that he does is called.
But three days.
Is it rolfing or something?
But butt chugging?
No, what?
Wait, what?
No,
Rolfing.
That's like a form of a massage, which is very, like, extreme.
Yeah, but it is, it's, I mean, it's just some, you know, it's not chiropractic, you know, stuff.
But it's just, he just unlocks things and just is so in tune and knows the body so well.
And anyway, he helped me avoid, fix me in three days.
And I have only had a few issues since.
Now, I'm sure there's different cases, but like, I've been on planes with the guy where people
complain of issues and there's a woman next to us and they just started talking and she's like yeah
blah blah and he's like oh what and this is what i do and oh i haven't been able to like lift my shoulder
above here in like 27 years and he fucking on the flight worked on her like and not just pressing on
certain areas and like you know giving a half-ass rub down just doing things and and stretching whatever
and unlocking and bro she did this and then just started crying it was bonkers to watch on the
flight so brian keeps telling me about his brother dug anytime
I go to New York, comes to shows, and a sweet guy and would always just get worked on.
Even if I didn't have any major issues, it was just nice to get like a recharge, right?
Almost like a quick cryo trip.
And so he starts to tell me about his brother Doug and how he, you know, became this
Paralympic champion and over 326, 96 gold medals and world record for javelin, shot put
discus and cover of a Wheaties box and all these things and hang with the Pope and going these
national tours with Jordan, Bo Jackson, and Montana.
I'm like, this is bonkers.
And he's like, you've got to meet him.
So I did shows in Philly.
They lived in Jersey right outside there, went over to the place.
He's such a great dude playing ping pong hanging.
The house is immaculate.
And then he just starts pulling up as I start questioning about the story.
It was real generous to kind of, you know, not spare any detail.
And then pulls up so many videos and pictures to kind of accompany the whole adventure.
And I'm like, oh, wow, this is, that always makes anything real, especially a documentary, right?
When you can really see, like you could see in the dock, like how much stuff there was to play with.
to really assist every moment.
And it was just overwhelming.
And I was like, how come I've never,
because you see all the,
him on Regis and Kathy Lee and just,
and all these news things and just, you know,
and I'm like,
how come I never,
I was just,
you know,
too young,
but they said they had a movie
and development at one point.
And then the producer passed,
so it kind of just fell by the wayside.
And I was like,
well,
I have to like help you to like get this story out there.
So you directed a movie last year.
You were also in a movie last year called Barbie.
Oh, yeah.
What was that like?
It was awesome. It was bittersweet. It was the experience. I always at this point, I just chalk things up to like the funness of it, right? Like just go, I've had a lot of things promised or about to happen and not happen, which is like for better, for worse. It's nice to get conditioned to go like, okay, cool. Like just chalk it up to like enjoy what you're doing and don't worry about if it ends up. I mean, it's easier said than done sometimes when you're like, I hope like, I mean, we did like a two and a half three minute scene, right?
with myself and this other cop.
And it got chopped down to two and a half lines maybe.
And so day of, I mean, it's just like so fun.
How did you get the part?
Did you audition?
No, Alison Jones, who, you know, cast the office, curb, Veepe,
most of Apatow's movies, a lot of Paul Feig movies.
Cast me in the heat.
And then I originally met her when I was auditioning for,
she's out of my league.
Remember the movie with T.J. Miller and Jay Barrelchel,
to be Jay Brayershiel's brother.
And I got down to he and I,
and I was about two years out of college and didn't get it.
But then Allison just started to bring
me in and just, you know, like you do in this bit. I mean, you just want to be consistent and
deliver and make, and build fans, right, so that she just keeps bringing me back. And then I got
the heat in 2013, which was a Paul Feig, Melissa McCarthy, Sandra Bullock comedy. And then a handful of other
things from that. And then she just hit me up and goes, this is a small little thing. It's about,
you know, 10 lines and whatever, do you want to do it? And I was like, fucking yeah. And it also just
sounded like it was going to be cool. Like Gosling and Margo-Robie and I think Will Ferrell was in at
that point and so I just got to do it and had a lot of fun we got to improvise a lot and gossing at
one point was like from something we were doing was like if that's not the trailer I'm not take me out of
the movie and I was like oh man this can be a really cool little chunk of of screen time and I went
with my wife and a few other homies to a midnight screening we're sitting in the theater and I pop on
screen and I go here we go and then two seconds go by and I go and there it was it's like me it's like me
Oppenheimer.
Bro, you, that was, we, now, that was awesome.
Thanks.
Bro, that was, that was one of the coolest.
And I'm glad that I had had, like, enough of a connection and rapport with you to really
get genuinely pumped about that.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Thanks.
Yeah, that was very, very cool.
And you were fucking awesome.
It was just awesome, man.
That movie was so big and so, it was just, and I was so into it.
And then, and I don't even know, I think that you were, I don't know if I had seen
that you were in it yet or seen any you post or talk about it.
So that was also like an extra, imagine that.
You know, I was just like, I was just fucking, you know.
Yeah, it was awesome, man.
What?
Oh, wait.
Oh, you were saying Ryan Gosselin was saying, if this isn't a trailer moment, at any point
you go, hey, Ryan, you're from Canada.
Why do you have a New York accent?
So funny, dude.
That's weird, right then?
Yeah.
Hilarious.
What part?
Marsh?
Not New York.
Gotcha, yeah, not New York, British Columbia.
New York Ontario.
Not Brooklyn, Toronto.
Have you noticed that, Ben?
I have, yeah.
He was nice, I made, I took a picture of him, with him.
Stand still, you Canadian New York freak.
And he, uh, we took a picture and I go, I'm going to use this for the cover of my comedy
special.
And he pulled back so quick.
It was like, boy, no.
Dude, no, no, with those striking fucking blue peeps.
And he was just like, no, no.
And I was like, I was joking, man.
We don't have our sensibilities aligned yet, but fucking psych.
What are you nuts?
Ben, what do you got?
On my flight to Utah, we're in first class.
I'm not going to pretend that we got upgraded.
We paid full fare all sitting up there.
And family of four has four separate seats.
Two young kids, a mother and a father.
But they're all in different rows scattered throughout.
So the first thing that happens is the father goes up to every single person in
first class and says, I need to sit with my family. My son has a terrible peanut allergy.
If I'm not near my son, I cannot protect him just in case there's peanuts on this flight.
So all four of us need to sit in one cluster. So he reorganizes all of first class. Okay.
That happens before the flight even starts. No problem. We're all sitting. It's all good.
The entire flight, the husband would yell to the wife in front of him and the wife would yell to
the husband behind him. She'd turn and she'd say, hey, what movie should I watch? And we're looking,
I'm locking straight eyes with her. I'm locked, locked eyes with her as she's screaming behind,
what movie should I watch? And he'll recommend a movie to her. And she'll turn back and she'll
say, but are you sure? Are you sure it's something that I'd like to watch? I don't know if I have time
to watch this. The whole time, they're yelling back and forth at each other. And all I have to say,
just the entire experience is just, what are you nuts? Don't make people move. But if you're
going to make people move and rearrange. Don't pretend that this is your private cabin. It's not your
private cabin. Airplanes, as you mentioned, are stressful places. Everybody's trying to go from A to B.
They're trying to watch a movie. They're trying to read a book. They're trying not to disturb.
They're trying to enjoy their time, right? Four and a half hours, it's a long flight.
Non-stop. So, What Do You Nuts? Okay, so my What Do You Nuts? I was recently at World Market with my son,
because I'm doing well.
And my son and I do these super cute international snack taste tests together.
You're a fucking dad of the year, dude.
We love it.
Whose idea was this?
Well, because we watched him on YouTube.
And so we were like, let's try it.
So we'll do Japanese snacks and Brazilian snacks and all these different things.
Great way to open their heart and minds to the world too.
Keep it in international.
Yeah, keep it in.
So I go up to the checkout and there's this guy there and I can already tell the sky's an issue.
So first, there's a glass.
sort of fun Japanese soda that my son is buying.
And so it's there.
And the guy goes, oh, do you want to hold it to my son?
Like, by the way, my son was not holding it.
It was in my basket.
I placed it there.
I said, no, no, no, put it in the bag.
Now, I'm not being a douche.
It's glass and he's five.
Yeah.
He drops it.
Historically.
Historically, glass can be a bit of an ish.
So I was like, put it in the bag.
Guy goes.
And of course, my son is like, no, no, I'll hold it.
and the guy looks at me and looks at my kid and puts it in my kid's hand.
I go, first of all, big mistake.
Don't undermine a parent ever.
I see your parenting skills and I'm going to raise you a stranger's parenting skills.
Yeah, right.
And I can tell you this guy does not have a kid.
Because it was like totally, because he was getting off on undermining me.
And any other parent would be like, we are united in our parentdom
and like keeping A, kid safe and B, eluding more headache.
Do you think this guy tells other employees,
do you know how many dads come in here a day with kids that wish I was their dad?
Yeah, that I fucking undermine.
This guy came in, I said, take the soda kid.
Then this guy one ups me, and then we have a real problem.
Right?
I go to pay, right?
And I do tap.
Again, I'm doing well, and I love technology.
I go, tap it.
It's fun.
Doesn't work first time.
Yikes.
He goes, no, no, no.
You got to wait and then tap.
I go,
I go, great, let's try this again.
Okay?
Try it again.
Doesn't work.
I go, I'm using my card.
I pull my card out and he goes, no, no, no, give me your phone.
I go, what are you, my ex?
I go, listen to me, boss.
I've been tapping all over the world.
Did you say boss?
I said, listen, chief.
Yeah.
Okay, I said, I tapped.
I've tapped in Vancouver, Canada.
Funny.
I've tapped in Indonesia.
I'm tap, tap, tap.
I'm the Carmen San Diego of Apple Pay.
I'm great at tapping.
You don't tell me.
I feel that little shake in my phone.
I feel like I met my dad.
I feel completed.
Wow.
You know, I tap, tap, tap it up.
I'm not fucking up here.
It's your machine.
I look at him.
I go, no, no, no.
We're past that.
Your machine's too difficult.
And he looks at me like,
I just gave up.
Like I was Doug Air and I was giving up
and not becoming a Paralympian.
Now streaming on YouTube.
It was, and I was like,
You suck, sir.
You are no, I didn't say any of this.
I just decided in my, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I said, thank you for the receipt and I walked away.
No, no, you gave him four times, you gave him four times,
whatever the value was of what you were buying.
Yes, but this guy sucks.
You know who you are.
I think his name was, I don't know, who cares.
I'm not giving him any shine.
Oh, my God.
