Yep. if we sell out Atlanta and I need, and listen, I need notice for this because I'm going to need to prep my performance. Yes. But if Atlanta sells out, yeah, I promise to do a live performance. I still have a sticker in front. I'm going to do a live song with choreography. Like, like a joke song or like holding out for a hero from Glee. I'll give you holding out for a Carol. I will perform holding out for a hero from glee. I don't know how I'm going to get Melissa Benoist to come down. I think she's pretty expensive to book these days, but I I'll figure

out a creative solution for that, but I will in a cat suit. I will do, Oh, you'll do the cat suit. I will do the cat suit. I will do all the original choreography and sing the song and the splits. Wow. I can't even do the splits anymore. I tried the other day and I was like, this is so sad. I can. I did it in 4th of July when I was tumbling around the yard with the little girls that I was with, like all the children. Yeah. And I did handstand contests. I'm still pretty limber. Limber. Holy shit. Atlanta. It was once illegal to put an ice cream cone in your back pocket in Atlanta. So weird. Letting you know. Where does the law come from? Atlanta also has outlawed tying a giraffe to a telephone pole. Did you feel like that was a problem

like a stuffed animal no giraffe giraffe like do you feel like that was a problem growing up i never saw that so no and then i want to i want to say a special thank you to the city of atlanta for me no for me this is personal for bringing them oh for bringing sorry thank you god for becca tobin and all of her special hospital shout out that's where i was born great atlanta is a birthplace of diet coke wow world of coke wow you know that duh everyone knows that coke is georgia oh really i didn't know that every year had to go to the fucking museum of coca-cola there's a museum yeah and you we could go oh is it does it include diet coke and coke zero or just coca-cola everything they have cokes from all the lands oh they have cokes there that you can't get in the

United States to sample in Atlanta at the museum of Coke. And you said this would be boring. John Mayer got his big break in Atlanta. Really? Yeah. Lots of airports claim to be the biggest airports and busiest airports in the world, but truly Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson, Atlanta international port is truly based on people, flight numbers, amount of flights, the busiest airport in the world yeah it is and i want to say lax you could learn a thing or two because the way that airport runs is a well-oiled machine it is so amazing there are no lines you get to where point a to point b you make your connections it's wonderful it's marvelous they have covers when you walk outside in case it's raining or if it's too sunny it's shielding you it is a beautiful airport

and lax take note how are they doing with the airport with all the flights right now i mean chaos i don't know it's chaos for everyone okay yeah don't judge okay it's not atlanta hartfield jackson international airport's fault um did you guys see the thing of heathrow and like all the luggage that's why i was so scared when you went on your trip to check a bag no i know And I flew through Heathrow and Amsterdam. And it did lose? No. But like I had two people when I went to Europe that were coming to the birthday party that

both lost their luggage at Heathrow. Oh yeah. Like. It's crazy. Yeah. The amount of good stuff that you could steal from. I'm doing a full carry on. Yeah, of course.

When I go to Spain for a week. Yeah. Oh yeah. I did a carry on. That's all you can do. Yeah. It's going to be a bummer because I wanted to look hot. You wanted to have good shoes.

A week is fine for a carry on. I only bring a packed bag if I'm over like two weeks. The shoes is where it falls. Yeah. Because you can only, if you're doing a carry on for a trip, you can only bring the sneakers you're wearing on the plane, a heel and a flat. Yeah. I can't do that.

You can't do any other shoes. You can't have a couple heels. No. It sucks. It really sucks. And you're deciding, am I a nude heel or a black heel? And then you have to stick with that for all your outfits. Yeah.

Okay. Let's talk about New Orleans. So far we have. The dick is trapped. 47 tickets sold to our New Orleans show. And that's fine. If only 47 of you show 48, maybe I don't care. We're going to have the best time we've ever had in New Orleans in our entire life.

But I do want to let you know, Becca Tobin, Mardi Gras masks are not just for fun. Did you know that it is illegal to ride on a Mardi Gras float without a mask on? Really? Did they enforce this? I guess. Wow. Who knew? Yeah.

And also you may think that Bourbon Street was named after the whiskey bourbon. It wasn't. It was named after the Bourbon dynasty of France. Oh, we, what's a fuck? And each seat, this is something that we're going to take on for our show. Each seat in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome is a different color than the one next to it. And this coloring makes it seem like the stadium has a full house, even if it doesn't. And so when we have 500 seats available and only 47 of them are sold.

Wait, is this the place we're playing? The Superdome? That is so smart. it is smart how how i don't need to look this up because it's like if you see like a row of blue chairs right you're like instead you're seeing like but there's different colors it must be people exactly it's not consistent what open space exactly wow now a man named levi he was a dentist in new orleans actually i have a great idea sorry sorry to come back to your riveting fact i have an amazing idea okay when we used to shoot glee and we needed a crowd like

for the audience and it was like a long day and you can't have people sitting there. It's just too, too much. So they put dummies in the seats out in the audience. We could get dummies and put them in the empty seats. We're just going to need like 400 dummies. Yeah. It's actually genius. And they had wigs and everything. No, I'm, I don't like New Orleans to me right away was an epic failure and it's going to be our best show. I'm going to go so far. And I also think dummies i think everyone's audience in like we're having a dance party yeah like everyone's a vip everyone is a vip yeah everything is better electrified and hyundai has the widest range of electrified vehicles on the market including the first ever tucson and santa fe plug-in hybrid

Oh my God. Get yourself a gray. That's the one. Yeah. So Greg in Dallas is rich. Greg is rush. Okay. I do have a funny little Hollywood fact about Dallas.

I thought this would be good for you, Becca. the lowest grossing film of all time a song for christmas appeared premiered in dallas in 2006 yeah it was called zzx road what zzx it's the road on the way to vegas where you dump a dead body it's about dumping a dead body i think oh zzx road i think so starred katherine heigl and tom sizemore it had only six paying customers and earned $30 at the box office. How is that possible?

Catherine Heigl is a big draw. I don't think she is. Yes, she is. I don't care what anyone says. Not for the Zizek's Road. That's weird. Major bomb. Were they trying to make a Guinness Book of World Records?

I don't think people go out. They're like, hey, you know what? I want our podcast to be the least successful tour of all time. I hope we sell 47 tickets in New Orleans. Maybe they were trying. You never know. Next fact. Jack, you have a fact here?

No, I was just reading the plot of Zizek's Road. what is it uh it says a married man meets a beautiful woman katherine heigl in a las vegas casino and allows her to seduce him when her jealous boyfriend finds them together a scuffle results in the boyfriend's death the lovers head to the desert to bury the corpse but it disappears exactly what i said that's like a good movie doesn't it doesn't sound like the worst movie in the world but jack don't think that i left you without a factoid about dallas dallas leads the state of texas murders yes how do you know the most murders 13.3 murders per 100 000 residents apes what how why 13 out of every 100 000 people gets

murdered in dallas what is that number 13 out of 100 000 that's a lot of murders why are people getting murdered i think because a plethora of reasons i think because they're rich they're scorned they have pools and backyards to bury them in i i watched dynasty your hypothesis is wrong they're rich they're rich and they have pools that's every murderer that's happened in dallas there's a whole lot of other types of murders i want to talk about dallas a little bit okay i'm excited about the dallas show our dallas girls were amazing texas girls were and great on tour i went on a date so in dallas i can't remember what it's called but please remind me if you're listening to this there is like every city i feel like has a tchotchke

restaurant where like there's a restaurant at the rainforest cafe not not there man i miss rainforest cafe i went recently and the memory of it was so much better i was gonna say is it like kind of shitty i feel like it's like an aquarium yeah i feel like it's too because it is an aquarium isn't it there's a query there's there's wet animals in it wet animals because they're not i don't think there's wet animals there's not i don't think there's any real animals like there are no fish they're made out of clay it's like birds squawking and yeah but there's probably water there's no water there's no water there may be a fake water but it's not real water i think it's probably real water it's kind of like the pirates of the

Who told us we should play this three losers. But we're like, they're like, you play this venue. And we're like, sure. We didn't know that we're losers. I live in a cloud. I live in a cloud.

doesn't count. Everyone went to the beach. Everyone went outdoors. We all went to the parks. I, I think you're a secret beach lover. You love the beach in theory, but you're not using the beach. You're trying to save up all this money to buy your beach hut, but you're not actually going to the beach. You could be living in Phoenix in a giant house with a pool, with a slider window situation that has a picture of a beach. No, there's a different air there is a different beach air and it's colder no i actually do like i like the heat of phoenix like it actually doesn't bother me as it does most people but do you know the hottest recorded temperature in phoenix ever yes no you're wrong way too high 122 degrees

It's a straight up one, one slosh, like one cylinder, one slosh. It's one cylinder up until it's 50 years old. And then it births its first arm.

That's crazy. How long does it live? 300 years. wow that sounds exhausting cutting down one of these cactuses on your property is a crime punishable by a 25 year sentence in jail whoa homeowners that's longer than murder jen shaw can literally rip off every old person in america and she's like seven years people literally go to jail for murder less than that right that's crazy homeowners if you get a house in phoenix okay and you're like oh this giant cactus it's causing me shade and i don't like it you have to call the arizona department of agriculture and they have to permit you to be able to dig it up and re-home it it's a felony a felony to hurt this cactus

also nothing should be a felony if you don't know that it's a felony you know that you could go your whole i know but like i didn't know i couldn't murder him i mean you like you could go your whole life and never know this about a cactus you know what i mean and then you could be it could be punishable a felony well i feel like that's a murder you're in prison why lady gang is here to tell you, do not cut your saguaros.
