Yes, but it's only, you can't use that song after Pulp Fiction, you know? Definitely people did in A Bug's Life or something.

Starting point is 00:03:48 Don't make me have to ask that twice though, right? And the Matt ones. Wow, there's so much text on this. Yeah, that's who would read all of that about that song. That's crazy. Oh, it just was getting the part where it was where it was telling us and then he went out The internet has everything dude. And now with AI it has everything. You can, because whatever it doesn't have, you can create it. Also, who is still looking for this?
Starting point is 00:04:10 Who, it's you? Of course it is. You can talk about the way we're searching. Yeah, that's true, but it's so boring that it doesn't matter, just skip it, right? Oh yeah, that's true. We're gonna be like, oh, it was in singles. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:21 There isn't, there is some stuff that I want to be on the internet that isn't. There's a show from the 80s called Jennifer Slept Here and it is not online anywhere and I'm pissed. Also, you can't watch, what was the name of that show? The one with Thomas Hidden Church and Deborah Messing's... Oh, Wings? No, no, no, no. Wings.
Starting point is 00:04:40 That was sick and that's available and I've watched it. What was it? It was Ned and Stacey, Ned and Stacey. That show's not online anymore. When was that, 2005 or something? No, 1990s for sure. Oh wow. It was before Will and Grace.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Really? Debra Merson was on a hit show before Will and Grace. Isn't that weird? Really? 93, 95, what does it say? Okay, I didn't know about this. I never know, I did, yeah, but I didn't know it was before Will and Grace.
Starting point is 00:05:01 It's pretty funny, dude. I found the pilot on YouTube and then there's like random episodes, but it's not streaming anywhere. There's like a big hit show. There are things that are not streaming. Come on people. You know what's not streaming?
Starting point is 00:05:10 Or at least the last time I checked, the Office British. Oh, that's weird. What wasn't streaming anywhere? What? The one I checked. It has, you know, they come back and forth. Yeah, sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:19 The movie Old Boy couldn't get it. Oh, you told me that, yeah. It can't get now, but anyway, yeah. So that is weird when you can't find anything, right? How times have changed? Dude, you used to literally, I mean, it's just nuts. In our lifetime, to get something to watch, you had to go to a store to rent a physical copy of it.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Before that, you had to go hire the actors before film. You had to go hire actors. Let me really trip you out though. People don't even think about this, but it. Yeah. Before that, you had to go hire the actors before film. Let me really- You had to go hire actors. Let me really trip you out though. Okay. People don't even think about this, but it's true. I do, probably. Movies before VHS was even a thing.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Movies, people made them knowing, knowing that the audience was very likely only going to see it one time. Because it was in theaters and and then it went away, and then it was never to be seen again for all of cinema history until VHS. And the intent behind that matters, because now filmmakers make movies
Starting point is 00:06:16 so that you can not only watch them over and over if you want, but rewind right away. Go back, pause it, go to the bathroom, come back. It's so different. Think about how much that affects the bathroom, come back, it's so different. Think about how much that affects the way movies are made. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not just watching them. Wow. It's crazy, right?
Starting point is 00:06:30 That's why when you watch an old movie and you're like, oh, they messed up there. It's like, no, they didn't. They didn't care. They just thought no one was gonna see it. And even if they did, what are you gonna do? Stop the whole theater? Hey, the projection room, go back 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:06:41 I could have sworn I saw the boom. Yeah. It's done. The moment's over and you're never going to see it again. Wow. Crazy, right? That's pretty much a mind blowing fact. And it's too early to have a mind blowing fact in the episode.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I blow minds. And if you want to have blinds, blinds, minds blown, you stick with me. Okay. Thank you very much. Worst, worst president. So, You stick with me. You want your mind blown? You stick with me kid.? Thank you very much. Worst president, so.
Starting point is 00:07:05 You stick with me. You want your mind blown? You stick with me, kid. Both for me. So, yeah, guess what? What? I, do you remember four years ago, my jaw, I got, what do you call it?
Starting point is 00:07:21 Walk jaw? Yeah, what do they call it? TM. Oh, TMJ, whatever that is. TJ Maxx. I got TJ Maxx, right? My jaw, I got it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:32 And first of all, do you remember yet? That I got it or no? What do you mean do I remember yet? Does this, do you remember I got it? Yes, I'm saying yes. Oh, you do, you already remember, okay. So I was gonna describe it in further. I went to the dentist.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He made me a thing to sleep in. You didn't know about this or did you? I don't think so. You probably did but whatever. Anyway, slept with it and he's like, eventually your jaw will unhinge, it'll be fine. Okay. That didn't work.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Oh. Went online, looked at YouTube videos and had hacks. I was like, these are probably terrible for my body but I'm gonna try them anyway. Put a pencil way back there. Oh my God. Smashed my jaw, didn't to, you know, hacks. I was like, these are probably terrible for my body, but I'm gonna try them anyway. Put a pencil way back there. Oh my God. Smash my jaw, didn't work, nothing worked, okay? A pencil.
Starting point is 00:08:09 That's what they say, to get the pencil back there. And then it gets you here, it gets you right here. You need the pencil back there and then you push this and this way it'll like kind of unhook, you know? Didn't work. So now I, it's been four, four, almost, yeah, four years, four years. Kind of forgot about it. I mean, it's been four, four, almost, yeah, four years, four years. Kind of forgot about it.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I mean, it's still there. I can't open my mouth as much as I used to. But I guess it's just gonna be like, okay, it's basically the 1400s and there's no doctors and I can just, this is how it was back then. This is life now, yeah, yeah. So, fine. I go to sleep two nights ago.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I have a crazy dream. I mean, I was on stage under a blanket and people hiding from Olivia Rodriguez. Is that a singer? Olivia Rodrigo. Okay. Where were you hiding from Olivia Rodriguez. Is that a singer? Olivia Rodrigo. Okay. Why were you hiding from her? At her concert. She was singing.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Okay. And I was like, and people were looking for me. I needed certain people to find me, but not her. You were on stage? Under a blanket under people. You should have been elsewhere if you were hiding from her. No shit, but it was a dream. It seemed like a good logical place to go in a dream.
Starting point is 00:09:26 The logic is out the window. Okay. She just left the arena, but okay. In the thing, I'm peeking through the blanket and I see people rushing like, Oh, I wish they knew I was here so they could help, you know? But she's singing right there. I don't want to, you know? Oh, geez.
Starting point is 00:09:40 What a dilemma. And I'm tired because I'm laying down on the, I I'm also asleep, but I don't know that in the dream Yeah, no, no, I'm asleep in real life. Uh-huh, and I'm laying down in under the thing in the dream Okay, but I'm tired on in the dream in the dream. It was like I'm like man. I've been laying down for so long So your life is in jeopardy and you're scared out of your mind logic is out there and tired and a falsity Okay, meantime, she's just like women or whatever the fuck she sings, right? Worst song ever. And,
Starting point is 00:10:07 and so I, it gets so tired that I yawn. Oh, mistake. In the dream. What a mistake. Okay. And I'm stretching as I yawn. Okay. Have you ever done that?
Starting point is 00:10:20 Yeah, of course. It makes your jaw do this weird thing where it's like, Yes. It shakes. Fuck yeah, you know it know it. I didn't know you'd know it. Yeah. So it starts shaking. My jaw starts shaking, unlocks. In the dream only? Unlocks. As I wake up, my jaw unlocks and I go, Oh my gosh, four years in the making, I have this dream, boom, my jaw's back to normal.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Four years. You gotta go online, present your hack. Have a dream about Olivia Rodrigo and you're hiding from her on stage and you're tired from laying down so much. It's like Inception, the worst, it's like we gotta have this dream. We gotta have the dream where Olivia Rodrigo is singing
Starting point is 00:11:02 and you're hiding from her. If you have TMJ, come, you know, and... That's crazy. Yeah, but how crazy is that? It's now it's better. Now it's better. That's really wild. And you know what? It happened. I think it happened because, well, you don't know what, you know, of course not. But I, my thing was, I wasn't sleeping right. I was under, it was very stressed in that time of my life,
Starting point is 00:11:26 you know, four years ago. I was like completely going through it. I thought my life was over. So I think that that happened because of stress. So when I woke up during the dream, I go, am I jaw unlocked? And I literally go, I say, I'm not canceled anymore. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:11:42 Yeah. Well, I mean, because of your jaw. Yeah, I guess that's the end of it. It's a little different, yeah. I woke up and I told Kristen and she was proud of me. Proud of you? She was like, yeah, you know what? That's right.
Starting point is 00:11:54 That does mean that. It's symbolic. I was like, oh. Nice, dude. You've really, uh, doesn't seem bad. My jaw's good. How weird, though. Baby steps, you know? Good for you, man. I'm going to get a movie offer soon because of good. How weird though, huh? Yeah, baby steps, you know?
Starting point is 00:12:06 Good for you, man. I'm gonna get a movie offer soon because of that. That's great, dude, good for you. Good for your jaw. Bad Boy 6. R.Me. Hammer's doing a movie. What is he? He's a guy, an actor.
Starting point is 00:12:17 What's he doing? A movie, I don't know. I just saw the headline. He's doing a movie. You know what, I think he's doing a movie with, actually, I think he's doing a movie with Kevin Spacey. No way. I think so. I'm not sure. I might have made that up.
Starting point is 00:12:29 I'll see that so fast. But yeah. Yeah. This is Jennifer slept here. This is the show. It's on YouTube. But here's the problem. It's so low res that you can't even watch it anymore. So wait, what is this? So the idea for this show. Oh, it's a show. Is this woman. She was a big, big famous celebrity
Starting point is 00:12:45 in this house. She lived in this house and she died young. And the people that live there now, they move in, they're just like out of, they don't live in LA, they're from out of town, they come to live in LA. They live in this house. The house is like this on a star tours, like there's a legendary famous actress died in this house, Jennifer's house.
Starting point is 00:13:06 And it's like this normal family and they live among the ghost of Jennifer, the famous person. She's like, you can't move that, that's my couch that, you know, Errol Flynn poured champagne on or whatever. And I think only the son can see her at first. But the woman in it is the woman that is trying to sleep with Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom
Starting point is 00:13:30 to get him away from Terry Gar. Wow, of course it is. Lot of sleeping in her room. And Jillian or something like that? All right, well, we'll watch it. Anyway, I know things. I know things that are both valuable. I know things that are both not valuable.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I know things about pop culture. I know things about history. I know things about world history. I know things that are both valuable. I know things that are both not valuable. I know things about pop culture. I know things about history. I know things about world history. I know things about individual history. At a carnival, parking at a carnival. And I know about- Do you have cotton candy? I know about other things too.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Okay, what have we got next? So go on over to Lifeline Luxury. Patreon.com slash Lifeline Luxury. But right now let's get into it. Hey Matt and Chris, bit of a situation here. So I'm 28 years old and it took me that long to realize that my mustache is not symmetrical. It actually only connects on this side and not this side and it's a bit of a problem because I kind of hate when mustaches don't connect the beards.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Apparently been lying to myself my whole life. Yeah. And so what the heck do I do? Do I just shave the bottom of this side like I have? I'll tell you what to do. I'm scrolling in a little bit. You can see. Do I leave it asymmetrical? I feel like my face looks a lot better when it's symmetrical. Or do I pencil in the other side maybe? Oh my God. Bring it down. Get it to pay on pay on um yeah, I don't know help me out Chris I in Detroit great show If you don't say wouldn't stop talking to you about how she was an SLP because of Calvin and I didn't get to say anything to you, so so pissed And yeah, I met you're pretty cool. Okay. Bye
Starting point is 00:14:58 Oh, what a cute those cuties did at the end dude. I used to it might have the same problem Just get older. Yeah, but here's the other thing. But I used to have the same problem, it didn't connect here and it did connect here and now it does. You can see it's still a little bit, but yeah, anyway. Think about this.
Starting point is 00:15:13 I look great. The reason you didn't like it is because subconsciously you knew that your beard didn't connect either. Now, the key to all of this. What? He said, I don't like that you said what, so we're gonna start with that, all right?
Starting point is 00:15:30 But I still don't know. But we're gonna start with that. Fine, I don't give a shit if you don't like it or not. I'm gonna start from there, okay? All right. So we're starting with, I don't like that you asked me what. Fine. Okay? That does nothing for me.
Starting point is 00:15:41 It does something for me though. What? I'm now more at peace with it than I was before I said that. Okay, well I'm even more at peace than you are. I got it off my chest. I don't give a fuck even more. I'm at greater peace than you, because I did that. A monk, all right.
Starting point is 00:15:55 So what I'm saying is he said, it pisses him off that he realized it doesn't connect because he hates when beards don't connect. Okay. What I'm saying is subconsciously he knew that his beard didn't connect. I get it. And he hated that about himself.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Yes. So he projected that out onto the world. I'd agree with that. What I'm saying to this guy is realize that that's what was going on this whole time. Be at peace with yourself. Like I am when I told my brother, I don't like that he said what.
Starting point is 00:16:21 And more at peace. And then it won't be an issue. It won't even be an issue in the first place. You won't have to pencil it in or worry about shaving it here. You'll be at peace and then it won't be an issue it won't even be an issue in the first place you won't have to pencil it in or worry about shaving here you'll be at peace with yourself and your stupid fucking ugly ass beard dick so why don't you just shave your whole beard also honestly the beard it looked good on him don't you think it's okay you know what you know what's interesting I got pissed that one of our producers sneeze while I was talking yeah I did it off mic but still how about that though it well you're not talking to them now you're not talking to the mic you're supposed to sneeze while I was talking. Yeah. He did it off mic, but still. How about that though? It, well, you're not talking to them.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Now you're not talking to them. You're supposed to not sneeze. Yeah. Yeah. Hold it. Do this. Hey, this works. So I think that, I think- This has never worked for anybody in history. Oh, Ghana.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Absolutely destroyed me. No, you know what works this for real. Matt, Matt, what? This works. No, it doesn't. It for real. Matt, Matt. What? This works. No, it doesn't. It works every single time for me. But you know what would work better? This.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Because what this is- What's better? This works. What this is accomplishing is you're not letting more air go in and tickle your nose hair so you have to sneeze again. What really happens, the best fix is this. That's not what it is. That's not what it is, a magician.
Starting point is 00:17:20 That's not what it is. That's actually not what it is. It is, but go on. No, it's not. You're pushing up against the sensitivity and it's making it overwhelming. So the sensitivity of the nose hairs is getting overwhelmed by the pushing in in the Hitler mustache area. I'm interested. So now you, what do you do? You push in? The Hitler mustache area, the top of the Hitler mustache area. So what you're doing when you do this is
Starting point is 00:17:41 pushing toward your face? Correct. Oh, nobody ever told me that. What did you think? I thought you were holding your finger here so air didn't go in. No, no, no, no, no, no. You've got to push. Oh, the push is, oh my God. And we push and we don't sneeze. And we push and we don't sneeze. That's really, really good.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Wow. Yeah, it works, dude. Good for me. And it's awesome. Anyway, nice tongue. Good for me. Anyway, your beard looks fine. Just confront your own issues about yourself and you'll be okay.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Yeah. Okay. Now, next. Russian transplant at 7-Eleven, what do you have to say? Ha ha ha ha. Every single thing in my life is going wrong. Everything. If it can go wrong, at all, it's going wrong.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Wow. For like the last- Pause it. Tom Cruise. Nine months. How much is he acting like Tom Cruise? It's not true. He's totally perfectly hiding bread under his hat, which he's clearly trying to do in the first place. Okay, so not everything go ahead. Okay
Starting point is 00:18:26 Okay, not pissed Not pissed Every shit in my life is going wrong the way he leans in and says it is everything if it can go wrong Like it's a secret and all It's going wrong for like the last nine months Anything was gone. It's a long time, right? About this much something wrong the opening monologue this month in his

Starting point is 00:19:25 So it happens in streaks dude. You got bad streaks, you got good streaks. Nine months is a long time for a bad streak, but all that means is it's more likely to come to an end because it's already gone on for so long. Know that the end is in sight, it's gonna come, and then things are gonna turn, and then suddenly one thing, two things, then three things,
Starting point is 00:19:44 and suddenly you're on a good streak Okay, so just wait it out. You seem to be doing good You're clearly able to keep a sense of humor about it. You're clearly able to hide bread under your hat successfully Yeah, just dress different I Thought he was dressed fine. I mean he had no undershirt on with a chain, you know, it's a Russian but yeah What I mean, that's a style sir Montclair New Jersey also the way he says everything is wrong everything in my life the way the way he leaned in and did it like it's a secret is amazing I mean did it

That is when you have to say, all right, man, it's not a lie, we did it for fun, and it's always been fun, and we love you, and we like the magic of it all. The spirit of Halloween, the spirit of Christmas is, you know, you don't have to be like,
Starting point is 00:23:14 there's no Santa by a kunk, and then leave. Right, but I can speak firsthand to this. When you know, and your parents just won't admit it, no, no, no. It's very actually like destabilizing. Because you're just like, what the fuck, Dad? Tell me it's not real. I know it's not, why are you lying?
Starting point is 00:23:31 I will say that it was not destabilizing for me, but I will say it was beyond when you know and they were still saying. It was beyond that. Mom told me there was no Santa. And then Dad tried to retell me there was a Santa. Well really? There was a Santa.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Really? How old were you? I mean old, at this point I was old. I was like 13. Oh my God. And dad was like, you know, so, cause there is a Santa. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:56 And I was like. Dad, what is, what is up with you? You didn't even know I knew you wanted that. So Santa left that. So he must've, he must've, maybe Santa knew, right? So there's a Santa. Dad, give it up. Well, I still believe so.
Starting point is 00:24:11 I'm only 44, but I, yeah, mom said, I remember we were in New Jersey. I guess I was 12. We were in New Jersey. 12 was like, come on. Mom was like, well, you know, daddy and mommy are the ones who put the thing for the tooth fairy. And what about Santa?
Starting point is 00:24:29 She's like, yeah, it's all the same, you know? And then the next year, my dad tried to reintroduce that there actually is Santa. Wow. Oh yeah, 100%. Wow, dad, naughty, naughty, on Christmas of all days. Being naughty. Yep.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Yeah, so I think if you're- How fucking hilarious is that? That's really funny. If your eight-year-old comes to you- That's why I started killing people. And is like, I know, it's a- maybe it's early, but eight, I don't know, eight isn't that- It's not that early.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I mean, it's around the time it starts at least though. Yeah. I think it's good to be honest. At that time. God, you only have a few years of that, huh? Yeah, it's very, very not long. Yeah, interesting, right? I'm not gonna want to give that up either. Yeah, you probably won't, but you should when it's time.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I get it. When they come to you, dude, that's the time. Or you could just be like this, well, what was that? And then run away. And never come back. No, you gotta come back. I forget what we're talking about but anyway, I want some pancakes come back when they're 18 Died oh died. Oh came back to life sitting here in the kitchen early shit the morning feeding the kids and a thought came to Me I need some advice the other day my mother came over to watch the kids and she was like You know pardon me Well, I you know, I don't know my way around the kitchen for stuff or whatever.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And then while I was driving to work, I was thinking, how well should you know somebody else's house? You know where the bedrooms are and that they're there and how many and where the bathroom is and where the trash can is probably at like a brother's house or mother's house or whatever. But like how well, what's the level of weirdness or allowability of like knowing where shit is
Starting point is 00:26:11 in somebody's house? It got me all fucked up when I was driving to work. Anyway, what do you think? I love the show, love super good. Been a fan since Super Schmalt, can't say it but Super Schmalt, you know what I mean? Thanks. Love you guys, true baby for life.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Nice, that's a good question, that's really hard to answer though. What? The dog pissed again. Wow, the studio dog Tina just goes, let's loose. You know why I know that? Because I know this place well enough
Starting point is 00:26:40 that that's where the dog pisses. And that's what this guy's talking about. Me too, I realized it quickly before you even said it. Okay, but you said what, what? And I told you you knew it because I told you. No, no, that is not true. I knew because I knew. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:56 So let's answer the question. But so I think that you should, I don't think there's any weirdness ever, unless you're like, this is where your wife keeps her panties, but even that's kind of obvious because the panty drawer is the panty drawer. Panty you know? Yeah but I'm just saying like there's no there's no it's not weird you if the forks pretty much are
Starting point is 00:27:12 in the where the forks are in the kitchen and if they're not in the one you open they're in the next one you open if they're not in the next one they're definitely in the next one. If you're looking at four or five drawers you're just a plain idiot. You know where the garbage disposal is, it's right in the sink. You know where the trash can is because you look, you just look. Oh, there it is. Or it's under the sink. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong here. Snack cabinet, it's the biggest one. Where is it? Am I wrong? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Maybe, maybe where's the bread? Probably on the counter somewhere under one of those things, bread boxes. Now, what you're saying I generally agree with, but you can't tell me you've never been to a house and looked for a thing and been like, well, I know where these things are generally, not found it in one place, then been like,
Starting point is 00:28:02 oh, it's gotta be there. I'll go beyond that. Not found it there, not found it there. Then you're like, wait, what the fuck? Why do people do the houses so differently? Why are you saying I'll go beyond that? I've never been to a house. No, I will be, if that happened, that has happened,
Starting point is 00:28:13 if that happens, I leave the house, I never come back. In the middle of a sandwich, I'm looking for a knife, can't find it, I go home. If I open four doors, I go home. I mean, if there's- Sandwich, half made. The flip side of this question is, if somebody came to my house and knew where everything was automatically,
Starting point is 00:28:29 I wouldn't even be like that weirded out. I would only be impressed. I would only be impressed. I'd be like, whoa, dude, good job. Well, you're like Sherlock Holmes. Or I would feel like I did it all right. I'd be like, oh dude, I must put things in the right place because people just knew where shit's supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:28:42 C-gotistical. You know, I'm doing it right. Cigatistical. So yeah, I don't know if there is a level that is weird, whether it's, the only thing that's weird is like, how dumb are you to think like, the knives are in the fucking bedroom closet. Yeah, nobody's doing that.
Starting point is 00:29:00 That's what I'm saying. Like the only thing, Only if you're like the most idiotic guess, would make me feel weird, yeah. Everything else, it's doing that. That's what I'm saying. Like the only thing, only if you're like the most idiotic guess would make me feel weird. Everything else, it's all good. Do you think if we asked dad if there was a Santa now? I hope to, that's a good question. I bet, well, at least a part of him would wanna say yes, but I bet he would try to convince us
Starting point is 00:29:20 that there's some kind of idea that Santa is real. No, I'll tell you exactly what he would do. And I know this so much that when I'm done, you're just gonna agree. Okay. Because it's just true. I'm with you. He wouldn't try to convince us that there is a Santa.
Starting point is 00:29:34 He would just answer in a way that obfuscates and doesn't get right on the nose that there is no Santa. He just would leave room for the possibility that there is based on the way he answers. So, Dad, we got you pegged and we know your game and that's the way it's gonna be. That's unbelievable with that stuff, man. How far is it?
Starting point is 00:29:56 It's on the right. Yeah. It's unbelievable, dude. How far is it? I've been there. Yeah. Huh? Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:30:04 How far is it? It's up there. Yeah. Huh? Oh good! How far is it? It's up there. Dude, it's un- believable. Have you been there before? It's on the right. Yeah. It's like there's a bag of possible answers to possible questions. Frank's garage told me about it.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Yeah, and he just reaches in and grabs in his mind any answer. It's unbelievable. To any question, yeah, that could be asked asked instead of the one you actually asked, yeah. Crazy, and poor mom, imagine dealing with that for 78 years, they're over 100 years old. I loved getting into those conversations with dad though. Yeah, it's hilarious. Just being like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:30:37 Yeah, I mean, he never didn't do it too. He never, the things dad does now, he's done five years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago. He's done since as early as I can remember. I know. Nobody's more consistently fucking it, what we- Do it different than that.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I've never met somebody who does that before. Does what? Whatever that is. In a way, it's kind of what like that, it's kind of what like those John Cassavetes movies did or like where people were just talking and shit and you're like, that's not what they're talking about. Or like Vince Vaughn and Jim Favreau made.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Made up a guy, John Favreau, yeah. Yeah, John Favreau. It's like, it's so weird. It's like double talking almost kind of in a way, but not really. What I think it is is that, I mean, it's like the way people talk in those movies, but people talk at those movies,
Starting point is 00:31:32 talk the way they talk in those movies because it's a reflection of how people really talk. Whereas most movies, everything's very ordered and in sequence. Right, nobody's listening to each other in real life. Exactly. Yeah. And I think that someone like dad likes that life is real life. Exactly. Yeah. And I think that someone like dad likes that life
Starting point is 00:31:45 is like that. Yes. And is embracing it by just Right. Almost consciously doing that. Yeah. And making it extra sort of ridiculous. Cause it already is ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:31:59 And it's fun to be that way. So he just goes with it. Have you ever seen Arachnophobia? I like Jeff Daniels. Right. Yeah. Unbelievable dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So he just goes with it. Have you ever seen arachnophobia? I like Jeff Daniels, right? Yeah Unbelievable, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Okay Next one. How's the Godfather 3 the first one? I speak fan of the podcast you guys keep me from going insane, but I kind of got a dilemma
Starting point is 00:32:19 Right now and assassins one is gonna help me. So I'm assassin. Haha Right now, I'm an assassin. One is to help me. So I'm an assassin. Haha. My dad recently sold his place to move in with his brother, my uncle. Yeah, that's how that works. And he said if it doesn't work out, if he can then move in with me, my wife, my child. So we've only had this house for three months,
Starting point is 00:32:45 saved a very long time to get this house. Good for you. Prior to us getting the house though, we asked him several times if he wanted to move in with us. If so, then he could help us with making a down payment for a house. I'm so mad house Wow um said no each time we asked them now that I have a house he asked me if he could then move in I don't believe it's so great wow my uncle that's so long I don't want
Starting point is 00:33:22 my dad to be homeless or it doesn't work out with him too fucking bad is what I say But also now It's kind of too late. We don't have enough room in our house Yeah, and we don't have enough money to support him either course Let me know what you guys Have what a real helps Life issue, dude. I just, I just don't know what to do.
Starting point is 00:33:46 I'm kinda stuck here. Thanks. What a real life issue, dude. Let's start with the already happened, already is the case before we tell you how to move forward. First of all, your dad is a king asshole of the world. Your dad is such a big fucking asshole. It's hard to even like-
Starting point is 00:34:09 Probably not gonna like that you said that. It doesn't matter. Dude, telling it like it is. Your dad is a fucking asshole. So hardcore. It's just unbelievable how big of an asshole your dad is. He is a king asshole. He's an emperor asshole. Okay, you know?
Starting point is 00:34:25 Emperor asshole. Going twofold. This guy fucking, you're asking him over and over again. Yeah. Dad, if you want, you could live with us. Right. Let's pool our money together, get an even bigger house so all of us can live comfortably.
Starting point is 00:34:38 That's cheap. Dad says, no. Well, I wanna know what it means. Let me just keep this real quick, okay? All right, all right, all right, okay. Dad says, no. Uh-huh. Okay, fine. S me just keep this short, okay? Dad says, no. Okay, fine. Saves up, saves up, saves up.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Him and his wife and his kid finally get to buy a house. It's not big, barely fits just the three of them, but it's good enough and it is a house and that's all that matters. They buy it three weeks after that happens. Dad sells his own house. Was it three? Or three months maybe, but maximum three months.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Yeah, three months, three months. And then he comes to him with this bullshit. What, what, here? What a fucking asshole. Boundaries, right? I don't like the word boundaries. I don't like when people are like my boundaries because they always overshare their boundaries,
Starting point is 00:35:14 but this is definitely a boundary situation, okay? Unbelievable. I think that I'm mad for him. Here's some advices. Well, no, I wanna know, what I wanna know is, what I wanna know is, what does it mean if it doesn't work out when I live with my brother? It means I'm happy you guys bought a house without my money so now that I can fucking mooch off you
Starting point is 00:35:34 when this inevitably doesn't fucking work out. But no, no, I understand. But what is not working out living with your brother? It's just annoying? No shit, it is annoying. Because you wanna not live with your brother, you wanna live on your brother. It's just annoying. No shit. It is annoying because you, you wanna not live with your brother. You wanna live on your own. You're 50 or whatever the fuck old you are, 60.
Starting point is 00:35:50 So you eat that. You do it anyway. You don't move into your son after you said, no, don't worry about me. I'm not helping. I think I'm assuming what it meant is if the uncle ends up not okay with it. If my brother ends up not ultimately be okay. Oh but I thought he already is in with the uncle. I
Starting point is 00:36:09 Don't know. Oh, whatever either way. Well what I took it as if longer term my brother realized that situation. Yeah, it's terrible, dude Also, you're his son the opposite that should not be how it works Like if dad or mom did that to us we would have to be like, okay But it would set. We'd be like, that sucks. We asked them if they wanted to before we bought the house and then we bought the house. We don't have enough room. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:36:32 How mad is his wife? Also, he did end up selling his house. He could have had enough money to go in on. Also, it sucks for, yeah, his wife. Oh my God. Honestly, have your wife answer to your dad, no, fuck you, get out of here. Yeah, you could also, I mean,
Starting point is 00:36:47 Go that route, dude. Perfectly, like if this happened to Kristen's mom or dad or whatever, I like them, and you know, this isn't about that. But if that had nothing to do with you, I don't know, I know. I would say, oh, use me as an excuse. Say I won't. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Yeah, so maybe your wife is down with you. Yeah, get you or your wife is the ticket here. Damn, that is aggravating. Yeah. So maybe your wife is down with you. Yeah get you your wife is to take it here. Damn. That's that is aggravating. Yeah Fuck that. Mm-hmm. Fuck your dad, dude. Okay, fuck your father You know, he's a king asshole. Okay next one. Okay Hi guys Shannon and Shannon
Starting point is 00:37:23 Babies I do have an interesting one for you today. Hello. My mom and I VQ. This is Shannon. Hi, Shannon. And my daughter, Brynn. Oh, hi, Brynn. We're both babies. I do have an interesting one for you today. That little girl is so cute. My mom and I don't say I love you to each other. Your mom and I are here, huh? Wow. Obviously, we do love each other very much. That's not obvious.
Starting point is 00:37:37 We've just never been that way. We don't casually say it. Mom, uh-huh. Like, when you hang up the phone, okay, you have me by. Mom and daughter is odd, yeah. We've just never done it. Interesting. She's an amazing yeah. Just never done it. Interesting. She's an amazing woman.
Starting point is 00:37:48 She's very strong. She raised me herself. But she's also Irish, so she doesn't like love to talk about her feelings. Well yeah, forget it. Say no more. It's just always been unspoken with us that we love each other. All that being said,
Starting point is 00:38:04 my husband and I say it to each other. All that being said, my husband and I say it to each other constantly, every day. Say it to our daughter constantly, every day. So as she grows up, I'm starting to wonder, is she gonna be confused as to why mom and grandma don't say it, but we all say it? And, you know, there's many ways you can screw up your kids. So I guess I'm just wondering what you think about that.
Starting point is 00:38:30 And if I shouldn't start saying it's my mom or like, is that so weird to start saying it on the blue? Sounds dumb, but like, I don't wanna make her uncomfortable. Yeah, please let me know. And also please do Lifeline Live in Boston and please offer VIP because it's a dream of mine to meet you both. Okay, thank you very much. Love you, bye. Look at that baby. So cute. Look at her eyes. I think... I said look at her eyes before you did. Okay, well you always say look at
Starting point is 00:39:01 that person's eyes that left everything. So I'm... You said it this time and I'm just letting you know that I'm doing it. That I letting you know- So now that I'm doing it- That I said it first. But now that I'm doing it, it really means something. I- So what happens? I think, here's what happens when you have kids, okay? You start realizing how fucked up your parents are.
Starting point is 00:39:16 And what you don't have because you're like, oh, wait, why didn't my parents do this? It seems so obvious to you, but it wasn't to your parents because they're a different person and your kids are gonna think I'm out of you. But, so, you know, I'm glad that you're breaking the cycle and telling your daughter, you know, how much you love her and all that shit every day. But it's just like, this is exactly what happens
Starting point is 00:39:39 when you have kids. It makes you realize things about you. And it invites you to think about things that you need to now take control of or rethink of your life, of your life. So yeah, I think that it is something you should think about doing, talking about this with your mom,
Starting point is 00:40:02 because you're gonna be around a lot longer than she is. It's on your mind if it's not on hers She's your mom. She's still got to take care of you in a way. So It is something to bring up if you want to bring it up I mean, I think that that's exactly one of the reasons why kids make you they make you think of that having them Yeah, I think definitely bring it up with your mom not like hey mom. What's wrong with you? Why did you know? So you let me just be, hey, I love you, but I never say it. And I realize we never say it in general. It's less about why is that?
Starting point is 00:40:32 And is there a reason for that? And let's dig deep. But like, don't you think maybe we should start saying it? I've realized this because my relationship with my own daughter, she can't even talk yet. She doesn't know what I'm saying yet, but I'm telling her I love her. And it's made me think about our relationship,
Starting point is 00:40:47 and I think we should start saying it to each other. That, then it's all about just moving forward. What if your mom's like, every time we hang up the phone, I let you hang up first, and I say I love you to the dial tone, you know? You don't know. Poetry. I mean, that doesn't happen, obviously,
Starting point is 00:41:01 because that's not what happens, because. It could be. No, because by then she would have said, hey, sweetie, wait, don't hang up. I have something else to say. And that is, yeah. No, because she lets it do, because she's too insecure to say it.
Starting point is 00:41:13 She does it on purpose. On purpose, yeah. Got it, got it, got it, got it. You hang up and she goes, her, I love ya. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Dude, I, yeah, that's, you know, what a bummer. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, you seem like a well-adjusted, cool person, but I mean, what the fuck do I know? But like, you know, that's nice that you're saying it here.
Starting point is 00:41:33 I mean, how could you not love a little baby like that? It doesn't have to be a bummer. You could start saying it now. No, I'm saying it's a bummer between you and your mom. I know, but you could. If it is. But you could start saying it now and it wouldn't be a bummer. All right.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Sure, it's just, you know, it's, it's... Yeah, what a, wow, real life issues, huh? Real life issues. Yeah. I say I love you to my kids so much I can't even believe it. I think that it's probably a noise then. Maybe cut it out a little bit. Tone it down. What if my now future Calvin and Billy call into a show, Lifeline, whoever the poster are then when they're older,
Starting point is 00:42:06 they're like, hey man, my dad told me he loved me too much, I never said it to my kids. Hey, my dad told me he loves me too much, now I'm a serial killer because of that. Yeah, I'm on the run. I don't know. Yeah, it's interesting how kids do that though. Do what?
Starting point is 00:42:21 They make you think of things about your childhood. Oh yeah. So crazy dude. Sometimes I'm sitting with, it's mostly Calvin because Calvin's older and I remember kind of myself-ish. You don't ever shit at Billy's age. So sometimes I'm just like holding Calvin and I feel not only like me, but I also feel like,
Starting point is 00:42:52 and I have nothing to compare this to, because I'm not him, but I also feel like dad to me. And I feel like dad. I feel like I'm the dad now. And then I feel, I imagine myself as dad. Okay. Our dad. And then Calvin also another version of me. And that's when I have to sit down, dude.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Because it's really weird when I get, when I start feeling that way. And I, and then I snap back and I look at Calvin as Calvin and then me also as me and then I can also feel what it was like when I was Calvin's age. Me as Calvin's age. It's the hardest thing to describe and it's the most wild, most wildest feeling in my life. But yeah, it's just, it's just crazy. That's the wildest feeling you've ever had? I think so, because when I imagine our parents passing,
Starting point is 00:43:58 like it's gonna be sad, of course. And then I think about, oh, at least I still have my family. You know what I'm saying? It's not like my whole family is passed away. My family of origin has passed. So I have now my own family. And not that I transfer that love to that, all the love, but it just, that support and that love feels like it can hold me down.
Starting point is 00:44:24 And I think about like people who then don't have kids and are really close with their parents. that support and that love feels like it can hold me down. And I think about like people who then don't have kids and are really close with their parents and then their parents pass, like what the fuck do they do? Party it up. DMX. Fucking fuck bitches, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Oh shit, mom and dad are dead. Duh duh, duh duh duh, duh duh. Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh duh dad or dead. You're gonna make me lose my mind. Up in here with the casket. Yep, with the pallbearers. Yeah. Yeah, dude. Anyway. It's crazy, man.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Life, huh? Didn't mean to get too deep. Life, huh? We said that was the craziest feeling. Have we were... I think so. Maybe. Have we were busting a nut on ecstasy?
Starting point is 00:45:02 Because that's up there too. Did you bust a nut at ecstasy? Because that's up there too. Da-dum-dum-dum-dum. Did you bust a nut on ecstasy? What? Have you? Have I? Yeah. No, I was kidding. So judging me so hard.
Starting point is 00:45:14 I never busted a nut on ecstasy or any of this. I've actually never been on ecstasy, so that's the only reason I haven't busted a nut on it. Same. I bet if I did ecstasy, I would be really trying to bust a nut somewhere though. That's what they say about ecstasy. I heard about this. But I'm coming busting.

Starting point is 00:46:36 Get started today at questrade.com. So, Coxsure. Zoé. Hey, Krithen Matt. I am calling on behalf of a friend because she's too shy, but she is looking for advice from you guys. Lying. Tell me about her.
Starting point is 00:46:51 She is somebody who... Her job is to work with colleges in her area, and she does these trainings where she's training them on how to use their software. But she is running into a problem where she is getting hit on in the middle of these trainings and she is too modest. She's an attractive lady. She won't say she is, but she is. She needs something funny to say in that moment because she wants to keep up her professional, but she just does not know how to handle these situations when she is just so blatantly getting hit on during these trainings.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Any advices for her would be much appreciated. Love you guys, thank you. I wonder, I mean, the more overt they are about hitting on her, the better it would be to sort of clap back, but that's tough because you're still at the end of the day in a work setting. Yeah, I don't think you need to be funny. I think it's like, you got all the power in the world if that happens. So what would you suggest?
Starting point is 00:48:00 For instance, like obviously we don't have any specific... Well, she probably doesn't want, she's modest. She probably doesn't want to be in an uncomfortable situation. That's what I'm saying. Like you don't want to make this so fucking weird. Unless the person's so super overt. Wear a wedding, wear a ring to a marriage. Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Or like, you know. You always say that and that's, I never think about that. It's such a, what do you call it? No brainer. Yeah. I mean, maybe you don't want to wear a ring, you don't want to lie.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Or what if, what if you do see a guy that you like and you're like, oh, fuck, you got to take your ring off. It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, I don't know. But I think that you could do that. And like, trying to think of something funny is just not going to work on a guy. Guys are just going to be like, ha ha huh, you wanna go to Ruth's Chris? They could be taking even a joke
Starting point is 00:48:53 as an invitation for more too. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Like, oh, and she's funny? Right, right. Dude. It's like, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:02 Jeez, God, guys are so dumb. You wanna go to Ilfernaio? About this kind of shit. Ilfernaio. Wow. I'll get the risotto. It's got such good risotto, dude. Oh, the risotto is bomb at Ilfernaio.
Starting point is 00:49:14 The mushroom, the saffron mushroom risotto, dude? Yungo? What? You're married? Oh, man, I didn't see your ring. Okay. Fine. Damn. I guess, uh... Welcome back to class because she's out of college. I guess, uh, wear a ring. That's a good idea.
Starting point is 00:49:36 I always think that's good because it's like, it's so... But guys do are so annoying. It's so annoying when that happens. It's fine. Look, it's hard to hit on a woman. If you're a single guy, it's hard. You just, there's a lot at stake. You don't want to fucking be embarrassed. You don't want to get it. So when a guy does it, you don't owe him anything, but it's like, Oh, it's, it's, it's sweet unless he's a dick about it, right? So the hard thing for you is declining. So we each have our shit that we have to deal with. But that's annoying, yeah, that is annoying. I don't know if there's any way to joke out of that situation
Starting point is 00:50:14 because then again, you guys are idiots. Right, and then there's the thing of like, do you wanna really be a dick in the situation? Because then not only are you in a work setting, but you're also potentially like, again, this sucks. This only makes your, only highlights how annoying it is for you even more. But like, then you run the risk of the guy being like, oh, okay, whoa, you're like that. And it's just like, there's a lose-lose. I know, but that's a
Starting point is 00:50:39 lose-lose too. It's a loss all the way around. That's why the wedding ring is good because it sort of like plugs the hole before anything even gets close to slipping into it. I don't mean that hole if you don't think. So sexual. All right. All right, next one. Me. What up, Chris? What up, Matt? Me.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Hope you guys are doing well. Thank you for everything that you guys do. Thank you, bro. Love you very much. Thanks, man. My question is, is it annoying? Hope you guys are doing well. Thank you for everything that you guys do. Thank you very much My question is is it annoying? Yes, it's very annoying to me. It's a millennial thing I am a millennial. I don't feel like one. Yeah, same because of the lingo. I'm not in it I don't all right. Yeah, say it. I don't get it. We understand but the one thing that gets me enough is when people say Tell me why Don't be saying that unless you're a backstreet boy
Starting point is 00:51:33 Well, am I right? What tell me why I don't know it gets me every time while the lingo of the the new generation I'm not in it. Why I don't get it. I guess is what? But thank you guys so much for everything you do of just why I don't get it I guess is what he's um but thank you guys so much for everything you do he's saying because you could just always say why right you guys heard that no yeah this is what I'm sensing well go ahead yeah I don't know what he's talking about I don't oh go I mean I do yeah oh he does Anthony does yeah it's like tell me why this happens when you can just say why does this happen Anthony that's what Chris just said. It's right? OK.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Which I do, yes, on its face, that's annoying that it's become a thing. But I've never thought of it. No, it doesn't bother me at all. I so much haven't thought of it that I'm still confused. I would argue. I would argue that it's not even really a colloquialism. Yeah, it's not a thing.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Right. A thing is what you mean when you say, you mean a colloquialism. Yeah, it's not a thing. A thing is what you mean by when you say, you mean a colloquialism, yeah. Yeah, it's not like, I did a thing. Or what were the other ones you guys always talk about you don't like? Life is a movie. Last night was a movie.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Yeah, that kind of shit. Or like, you know. I mean, there's a ton of them. Or somebody says like standing on business. Yeah, standing on business is a bad, about yeah of all the ones to not like that's an that's a that's a really odd one actually, I would say I don't get me wrong. I like that it bothers you because I love when stuff bothers people and then you you know, get some humor out of it. But like that's that's a one that that's one that I haven't even registered and now I will. So thanks a lot.
Starting point is 00:53:01 Maybe he's just a really big Backstreet Boys fan. He takes offense. They're just thrown around the lyrics willy nilly and he doesn't appreciate that. Well, it's like, it's giving that one. It's giving? That's obviously, you don't dislike that more than tell me why? It's giving is the worst, dude. It'd be weird if the Backstreet Boys were just like, why ain't nothing but a heartache?
Starting point is 00:53:22 It wouldn't make any sense. Well, actually, tell me why. Anthony literally just walked out of the entire studio. Tell me why ain't nothing but a heartache doesn't make sense either, now that I think about it. This guy's. How do I look this up? I don't think it's a thing, dude.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Dude, I think it's. How did it get on the thing if you don't even know what he's talking about? Don't you look at him? I wanted to know if you guys. Oh, got it. I think it's a thing. It has to be a thing, dude.
Starting point is 00:53:45 No, it doesn't. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. Maybe he doesn't make sense. Maybe he's wrong. Then I'm pissed at him. I'm not pissed at him because I like that he's thought about something very important in his life.
Starting point is 00:53:55 People say tell me why a lot, but it's not a thing. It's like saying hi, it's just what it is. But I agree with him about saying, you could just say why. I don't, okay, you know what I don't like? You know what I don't like? When you ask somebody a question and they do that school teacher thing, where they go like this.
Starting point is 00:54:17 And then answer. Maybe you never registered that. Aren't they thinking? Yeah, but you can do that without doing... Oh bro, that's as annoying as tell me why being set with tell me why. No. That's just somebody thinking. No, but I dated a woman who used to do that. Okay, well that's different. Somebody you dated. You know, I'm like dude, I'm not in an interview with you. We love each other. Don't be pontificating. Bro, you have got some.
Starting point is 00:54:50 What? Asshole to loosen. You need to loosen your ass. What? That is crazy to be bent about that. That's crazy, dude. I don't have my asshole to loosen. To be Tupac Shabent about that is just crazy.
Starting point is 00:55:03 Dude, when people are just, you know, like Tucker Carlson would do that on his show. To be Tupac Shabent about that is just wacky. Okay, did you find anything? No? Didn't look the way it said no. Didn't look. All right, let's do another one.
Starting point is 00:55:21 It's giving is one of the worst ones. It's giving is unbelievably bad. Yeah. Yeah. Aw. Hi guys. I have a question about siblings. I am in two minds about having one or two children. Chris, this question is more so aimed towards you,
Starting point is 00:55:38 obviously. Did you find the transition from one to two harder or zero to one harder? Matt, I would like your opinion on siblings in general, I suppose. I know you guys would probably not have it any other way. Love you both. Chris, I saw you in Brisbane and it was one of the best comedy shows I've ever seen. I love your Australian accent.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Please never stop doing your soul impressions. All right, thanks guys. Bye. Thank you. Well, fortunate for you, I'm very annoying and I won't stop doing that. So, um. That baby, huh?
Starting point is 00:56:11 That Brisbane show, I can't remember which one that was. That was the one you said was kind of crazy. It was? That's what you said. No, that was the Adelaide one. That's what you said, yeah, Adelaide, yeah. Perth was the fucking killer. Perth was the fucking killer, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:24 But wait, what the fuck? But wait, what? Brisbane was good. Brisbane was good. Brisbane was good, I of idea. Perth was the fucking killer. Perth was the fucking killer, yeah. But wait, what the fuck? But wait, what? Brisbane was good. Brisbane was good. Brisbane was good, I remember that. You know? What? Weren't there.
Starting point is 00:56:31 I'm remembering what you said. You remember what I said? Yeah. Wow. Okay. So, one is the hardest. Fucking Amy Mann.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Yeah, yeah, whatever. One is the loneliest number. Right, that's the one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. So one's the hardest because it's, your whole life is uprooted. Two.
Starting point is 00:56:59 And also you don't know what you're doing. Here's what I say about something that has nothing to do with kids. OK, stand up, all right? One show to do a show is tiring. To do two shows is not doubly exhausting. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:15 It's more than doubly exhausting, because you already don't do it. No, well, fuck you. It's distracting. All right, I'll pause momentarily. No, no, no, I mean, dude, don't make it real. You know what I mean? I'll pause it for as long as if you're gonna, well fuck you. It's distracting. All right, I'll pause momentarily. No, no, no, no, I mean, dude, don't make it real, you know what I mean? I'll pause it, I'll pause it for as long as I feel like.
Starting point is 00:57:28 You don't have to pause it, but like, I'll put it on hold as long as I feel like. Sometimes you do this thing, where you make me feel bad. I'll put it, that's a you problem, dude. Boundaries, you do boundaries, dude. Congratulations, man. Stop saying boundaries.
Starting point is 00:57:37 You're a millennial. Stop saying boundaries. I'm a millennial, you're a Gen Z. Fucking continue. John Malkovich, Talking to a train conductor. Because it stopped. Go! Continue.
Starting point is 00:57:50 It's doubly exhausting, because you already are tired from the first show. You go into the second show, and it's not like you're starting from scratch. That would be double. You're now starting at a disadvantage of the tiredness, and then you're getting exponentially tired as the show goes on.
Starting point is 00:58:04 That is not what it's like having two kids. It is not doubly hard. Your life has already been uprooted by this one kid and you kind of just add the other kid on. It's not, it's not, it's not the same. It's more, it's harder, but you start doing things where you realize, and this is cool, if you have two kids, when one kid is napping, enjoy just the one kid now.
Starting point is 00:58:31 That is a relief. It's like you're on vacation. It actually feels like that. So yeah, I don't think it's too nuts to go to. Now, three, if I have three, if we have three, I don't know. You're then outnumbered. Hopefully the oldest one is... Three seems like the changer of all things. Yeah, it does. It does seem like it, but I don't know. Hopefully the oldest one is old enough to... he's pretty self-sufficient. And then the second one is at least old enough to do things like feed himself, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:59:06 And tell you what he needs, because if not, like some people just go, Irish on it, three years, two years, I got a three year old, two year old, one year old, my family, it's like, my God, dude. Seems so crazy. You don't ever know what anyone's talking about. Everything's a mess always. Yeah. And you're tired.
Starting point is 00:59:22 That's, people do it all the time though, it's nuts. I know. To think about. So yeah, I don't know. I don't, I think for us, and look, I know people are gonna be like, oh, but you have money, you have people, you know, it's easy for you to get help. I get it, I get that, I understand that.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Oh yeah, that's a big, big thing. And yes, it is a big thing. Yeah, it is that. I still thought, it is that, it is that. I still thought that it was going to be way harder and it's not as hard as I thought it was gonna be. Yeah, but you have money, it's easy for you to say that. Wow, you know?
Starting point is 00:59:57 Anyway, maybe she has money, you don't know. She looks like she's rich. You know? She looked rich to me. Because she's white, racist. No. Blacks can make money. Wow, you know? Yeah, she looks rich to me.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Rich in spirit. Should we do another one before we get done? Yeah, whatever, sure. Oh, so indifferent. Oh, that's great. Oh. Hey, Kirsten and Matt. How you guys doing?
Starting point is 01:00:23 Not on the phone. So my wife and I I we went out to dinner We live in New York City And we got set obviously at a tiny table with the table next to us basically in our laps So that was cool Anyways, everything's great. We order our food we get our first app and as our waiter is placing down our food The guy next to us goes that shit looks fire. We should have gotten that. The other couple girl that he's with. Yeah. Now my wife being my wife. Oh no. She hears that and goes do
Starting point is 01:00:53 you guys want to try some? Of course they say no. They're being polite and we continue on with the night. As we're getting our second appetizer, Oh no. he goes again, babe, wow, that looks so good. We should have gotten that. This guy is an asshole, the other guy. Now I don't even have time to react to that second one because the table behind my wife gets some sort of like extravagant food, seafood tower.
Starting point is 01:01:20 And again, he goes, okay, we really should have gotten that. And I let out a soft snicker. And again, he goes, okay, we really should have gotten that and I let out a soft snicker We're now at the point where my wife is like looking directly at me because she knows how I'm feeling she knows like what I'm thinking Yeah, that's And you know, this couple is so bad at going out to eat that they pick all the wrong things Has this guy ever been anywhere?
Starting point is 01:01:43 This guy has unlimited money because how you gonna should have gotten everything? Yeah. Yeah. Anyways time has passed so I'm not thinking about the guy. They've been enjoying their food So obviously he won't say anything. Okay, but we get our pastas and he goes Babe, those are the pastas we should have got. Come on. I audibly go uh-uh It slipped. Pretty conscious, it slipped. Nice. Now in my head, my wife and I leave. To the waiter, we're heading out. In my head.
Starting point is 01:02:11 You can leave the check on his table because our food is now theirs. Oh, nice. This really is a table for four and congratulations, he's paying. Yeah, dude! Now, would you guys have stopped this guy dead in his tracks up to the first app, second
Starting point is 01:02:25 app? What should I have done? Oh, man. Anyway, it's chrisaleed.com for tickets. I'll be in Toronto, Bismarck, Sioux Falls, and check out the private record, obviously. Bye. Dude, that does sound like a voice we've heard before, but let me- It does.
Starting point is 01:02:39 Hold on though, before we even get into that, man, I wish that happened to me, dude. Fuck! Well, what would you have done? I wanna know what I would say. Bro! Yeah. What's the deal, man? By the last one.
Starting point is 01:02:55 What did you get? Dog shit? By the last one, I would have said, like, what? Come on, what are you doing? Like, what, you just. Did you get a plate of crackers and piss? Yeah, what the fuck? But beyond that, like, what's with the commentary? Oh, it's great. Bro. How boring are you doing? Like what you just get a plate of crackers and piss. Yeah, what the fuck but but beyond that like what's with the commentary?
Starting point is 01:03:06 Oh, it's great. Bro. How boring are you? Have you ever been somewhere? It'd be great If each time he said it he moved this table a little bit over more and more and then he just joined them Yeah, but yeah, you know what you say it again. I'm gonna make it eat what I get next Open up. I'm doing the airplane thing. Part of me Part of me would have thought it's like a con, like he's trying to get food. Or he's fucking with you. Right, that's what I mean.
Starting point is 01:03:32 It's like too much to be normal. That's so, imagine being that guy's date. Well, who knows if she was as quirky as he is. He's not getting laid. She's not fucking that guy. He could have been fucking sitting across from Joan Cusack though. You don't know how quirky she is. It's not quirky,. She's not fucking that guy. He could have been fucking sitting across from Joan Cusack, though, you don't know how quirky she is.
Starting point is 01:03:47 It's not quirky. That's just like, it's definitely this loser shit. It's just weird. Oh man, look at me. Could you imagine, okay, so imagine yourself in that situation, the appetizer come out. Oh man, we should have got that. Do you want some?
Starting point is 01:04:00 Oh no, that's, okay. Then the second one comes out. Oh baby, that's what we should have gotten. Already I feel weird, already that's insane. And this guy did it two more times? Oh, the pasta, babe. Dude, that's insane and I never wanted to see someone's face on the audio call more than that.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Why would he not show his face on the? I don't know, maybe we do know him. We must know. His voice does sound familiar. It's so familiar. But sometimes it's just somebody from the real world, you know, you never know. The real world.
Starting point is 01:04:26 You just have heard the voice before, or maybe they call before. No, I think we know that person, and I wanna know who it was and I'm pissed. What the fuck? Well, they probably know, but dude, that is just crazy, man. That is so funny.
