I'm calling all K-Lebrities, K-Lesbians, and Truthers.
We're conducting an audience survey at gum.fm slash so true.
And we want to hear from you so we can keep making content you love.
You know this, we know this.
Look, there's ads on our podcast.
Sue me!
Sometimes the product might not be for you, but I know you all still diligently watch
each ad from start to finish because you all just love supporting the show so much, huh?
We want to improve that experience. But in order to do this, we need to know a little
more about you, our audience, or as I like to call you, our family.
I know you're all lovely, kind, mentally well people, but the more details I have, the better
experience we can provide for you, my family. The survey is a quick, easy, and free way
to support this podcast, which we would just appreciate so very much
It'll take you two minutes and you'll be helping us out so much by doing it
What's two minutes to help out your favorite gay podcast or as I like to call me your family?
Good we actually do want you guys to do
This is actually something I asked us to do
It's the survey you're gonna tell them what kind of ads you like and don't like.
And when you do it, if there's an option to say we love when Caleb's silly with it, put
that in there.
Go to gum.fm slash so true to fill out our audience survey.
That's g-u-m dot f-m slash s-o-t-r-u-e.
Love ya.

My dad was a councilman. I know he was.
He's still alive, he just isn't one anymore.
Yeah, and what are his two best friends' names?
This is when he was a construction worker,
rock and roll in Big City.
I've known him my whole life, rock and roll in Big City.
Do you, is it okay on the episode if we tell people my really funny joke when you were
over at my place?
Absolutely.
Because I was thinking we could talk about that.
Okay.
I haven't really been doing much.
Will you tell people my really funny joke?
I was really proud of it.
Wait, right now?
Yeah.
Sure.
Oh, we're rolling.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh, I meant to change my shirt
Go do it. No, I'll just you want to switch. I'll just wear the same shirt. I wish I wish that's a cute shirt
Thank you so much. No, you can tell people my favorite guys. I just we record the episode on we record this multiple episodes on a day
I'm wearing the same shirt. I'm sorry. He's working man. Yeah, my goodness. Good God. We'll put him out with space him out
Anyway, yeah, yeah, we'll face them out
Sorry, you really wanted to tell people my funny joke didn't you? Oh, I did I did I I
Called Caleb to hang out and I was like, hey, I'm getting top surgery on Monday and he goes, oh my god
I'm getting top surgery
They were really took the heat right off. I go, Oh, right. Well, you were on my couch. They were on my couch really being like, yeah, man, I'm just like, I've got a lot of my mind.
Like I'm, you know, I have top surgery on Monday and they're like kind of confiding
in me. I was confined. And then I go, Oh my God, this is humiliating. I'm getting top
surgery on Monday. And then we laugh. Who's your doctor? We laugh for a while.
And then I go, are you going bigger or smaller?
Huh?
Hahahaha!
It was that. It was the nightcap.
Really good one.
You put a little hat on that.
Really good one.
What do you think? You regret it?
Hahahaha!
I regret her and her and him.
Mr. and Ms.
No, I'm feeling great. Six weeks out yesterday.
You look great.
Honey, titless and full of joy.
Flat as a board.
Thank you. I'm a charcuterie board, baby.
Flat as a board. I want to eat sushi off of you.
Oh, my flat chest.
My flat chest. I will say when I when I
So when I've been healing it, you know, I got my nipples some people don't but I I was like wow
They are really spread apart, but that's because they're the mat of a masculine chest
Yeah, they'd line them up with your clavicle, you know, I'm learning this. I should have done more research
Yeah before you but I got to have a nightmare that my
learning this I should have done more research yeah before you but I got to have a nightmare that my nine nipples were like all over my body and I would
like find one on my knee yeah my belly well they're doing that to kids now in
school there you send your kid to school their nipples are where they're supposed
to be they come home with it on their knees they go whoa whoa it's sick and
they in the radical left is enabling it to the pigments the pigments all the pigments off a really informed transphobe well when you get your nipples
done you need to make sure the pigments right and make sure you want them placed
in the right place or you want a more centered yeah feminine golly golly these
Frankenstein doctors are coming for our kids putting their nipples on their knee
I mean they were one they were using marker and stuff like lining them
up I was like wow they're gonna have to be good at math too you were awake well
honey I was I go don't put me down I want to be there for ya I didn't know
that you you technically pass away during anesthesia pardon they put you my
mom's like oh yeah I didn't tell you I want to tell you that till after I'm like cuz my mom's a retired nurse she was there for
me the whole time your mom's a fucking icon she is a she's Margaret you're an
icon she and I text by the way yeah yeah of course did she tell you that she and
I started texting during your aftercare because we were you know in
communication about you know how annoying you were being yeah and I'm
kidding we were just talking about what was needed, and we've continued to text.
Well, Caleb did come over and set up my Xbox
when I was belly up.
I did.
I did not know.
I was like, I was trying to connect it to the refrigerator.
I was like, this is not, there's no power
going into this thing.
You messed it up pretty bad, yeah.
I did, I did.
I had to get to work over there.
I did.
But, no, yeah, but my mom told me that you,
when they put you in, and this is probably like smart people listening
Probably know this but they put you
Anesthesiologist is that what the way then it's time. I was how it is. You got it. Yeah, this is the artist
Yeah, they put you they put you out cold their breathe. They get paid so much because they're making they're making you breathe
They're making you breathe. You're a corpse. That's crazy. And when I went down under, it was terrifying.
It was like, they put me in the little booties and they walked me down this hall, like Grey's
and Ami style, and then the nurse just knocked on the door.
I'm like, what is this, like a hotel room?
I'm like, how many rooms are there?
She's like, there's 10 surgical rooms.
And I go, you're just picking the one?
You're just picking a random door.
So we go in there and then there's this chair.
There's this, you know, flat thing with like arms that go out and I'm like it's an operating table
yeah but it looks like shaped like my body for me it looked it was like built
for me yeah and I lay down and I'm just like sweet Lord and I was less nervous
I just took a deep breath and the nurse started patting my leg. Why? Sorry.
It was comforting.
Oh, it was nice.
I thought you meant like in a medical way.
I probably had the fear of God in me.
I was like,
I probably didn't breathe for like 30 seconds.
She's like, next thing you know,
I'm waking up and I'm telling all the nurses that they're pretty.
Yeah, that's inappropriate.
Well that's why I didn't get my wisdom teeth out for over a decade. Yeah, I gotta do that soon. Do you really?
I was some teeth. Yeah. Oh, why didn't you get them out? We're in there and they're rotten
They need to go. Are you serious? They're not rotten, but they're there's in there and they need to go
They're not green gas coming out
No, they they need to go. I just give my wisdom teeth out. I hate I hate dentists. I hate surgery
I had surgery when I was
16 years old
Or maybe 15 I had a knee surgery from football big boy
Not a sport that we should probably letting our children play huh?
But yeah, I had to have a knee surgery and had to go under and it was fucking scary
And they make you they do all that stuff right beforehand
I'm 15 they do all that stuff beforehand when they're like with, where they're like, oh, that, and then they're like, they're like, um, and then just sign here.
There's 10% chance that you'll die in surgery. Not 10%, you know, the 1% chance that the
tube will go down. We won't be able to get it back out and you'll choke to death. You
know? And I'm like, I'm like, mom, and your mom's a nurse too. She's like, it's not going
to happen. You're fine. You're fine. Yeah. That's scary stuff, brother. 1% wasn't 1%
Hey, and it happened. It happens to people. That's scary stuff brother. One percent wasn't one percent. Hey, and the happen it happens to people
That's crazier things have happened. Yeah, how did we meet? Do you remember?
What's our origin story? I think we were trying to meet in Chicago when we were like in 2020 2026 2026
I think it was 2034
When we linked up
In in New Chicago.
Knock it off, knock it off.
It was 2016 or 2017 and we met at like I.O.
and I was like, who is this funny man?
Who is this funny, they?
And I was doing like stand up
and you were doing zip, zap, zap.
Improv, they call it.
Improv, yeah, yeah.
And then you asked me, we were like, we should get some lunch.
Yeah, we went to Tanuki.
Remember that?
Off the Wellington Brown Line stop.
Yes, right by my house.
We had a writing meeting.
We had a writing meeting.
At a Japanese restaurant.
Yes, yeah.
Because where else would we go?
And guess what?
I have some of the things we wrote.
You don't.
You don't.
Yes, I do. You don I do we thought I deleted that we were we were trying we were
trying to come up with sketches for us to do we were like big boy and another
big boy walking down the street I'm not even kidding the first one is just were
cops question mark that's where we were no it's probably mine
um you'll be able to tell which one's mine and which one's Caleb's.
This is even better.
We're news anchors reading headlines and we're just exhausted by all of it.
No real point of view.
We're just tired.
To write a sketch where the premise is that you have no point of view?
Not good.
Bouncer's at a club and I'm trying to wingman for you with cute girls.
That was where I was going gonna try and get you cute girls
I thought I was gonna I thought that's the one I wrote
No, probably weren't out then no
We just exactly like into a twin segment that that might have been mine. That was you
We are hockey players question mark that definitely the question marks are definitely me. I'm like expand on that Caleb do a little work
Will you this one says we do a commercial for our apple orchard?
But we keep saying things like we promised the big accident hasn't had any impact on the apples
That one has the most that one has the most point. Oh, I found one
That's definitely you we host the Cleveland Browns fan show and it's just a bunch of jokes and stories about how we love the Browns
This one's highlighted. It says brother and sister who run their family's taxidermy business. Oh yeah. I was very obsessed with taxidermy.
That actually has stuffed legs. This one says UPS drivers who have a side business where
they take lost packages and sell them on the dark web Aka eBay or whatever. That's you.
These are actually getting good.
Yeah, that was you. They're getting good because they're coming up on you.
I'm like these are sounding familiar.
Ummm, a father and son trying to get on Shark Tank
This one says
Siblings or celebs and then there's a sub note that says okay. I can't get over us as siblings
What about siblings at a City Council hearing? Hahahaha That's sub note that says okay. I can't get over us as siblings. What about siblings out of City Council here?
City Council is definitely me. I'm always trying to work in some stupid little political angle my dad was a councilman
I know he was he's still alive. He just isn't one anymore. Yeah, and what are his two best friends names?
This is when he was a construction worker rock and roll in big city
I've known him my whole life rock and roll in big city rock and roll obviously looks like a rock star and big city
You know has a mullet and drives one of those weird Jeep pickup trucks
Your dad's best friend's names are rock and roll in big city and guess what their real names are
Birth certificate name. I'm guessing like Maurice and Jonathan.
No, they're both Sean.
No.
They're both Sean.
No.
S-E-A-N?
S-E-A-N.
Thank you.
Just like my little brother.
That's so funny, I love your brother.
They're great brothers.
I love the Carney family.
They're good boys.
I'm big on the Carney family.
Ah.
Ah.
So what's going on with you? What do you got on your mind lately? They're good boys. I'm big on the Carney family. Ah. Ah. Ah.
So what's going on with you?
What do you got on your mind lately?
What do I got?
Tell me about Molly.
Oh, man.
I've been trying to read more.
Well, what are you reading?
God, God.
I'm the slowest reader.
I've learned how slow I am.
Yeah, OK.
But that's not.
It's not a race, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, buddy, no, it's not. Yeah.
But then I think about how, it's like this, it's like then I think about how slow I'm reading,
so then I try to read faster and I'm like, wait, I gotta reread that page again.
Yeah.
So it's a cycle of hell. But anyway, I've been reading a lot of books.
What are you reading?
My favorite books this year.
Are demon... Uh-oh. What are you reading? My favorite books this year are Demon
You mean swagging on my bragging books
Demon Copperhead is my favorite
book of last year and
A Tree Girls in Brooklyn
great book that's been on my mind for years
I finally read it. I just finished
The Women
The Women. It's just called The Women
Yeah, of course I gravitated towards that and it actually is about Vietnam nurses. So it's really took
a turn. Every, every word you just said, I'm reading a book called the women. It's about
Vietnam nurses. That's not what they came back from war and it's a fiction, but it's
like based off off true stories and
They came back and they weren't accepted and then nobody you know people like oh, there's only men in NAMM
But who patched up the men they weren't accepted
Yeah, people are like there's no women in war people just didn't so there's all these Vietnam nurses that came back like
And they were neglected and they were they were not respected or taken care of and
They didn't get the proper therapy wild look at me dropping knowledge. Yeah, you gotta keep reading books I know honey, and do I know it this is killer?
Can I take a long story and we get a couple sentences? Yeah cut that thing down. Yeah, what about you?
What have you been reading?
We bought books together. We did buy books together. Did you read it? I?
Forgot what I bought with the day by a philosophy of walking when I was actually Caleb
I got it for you as a gift what the book was it which book was it?
I'm like, this is a gift. We were celebrating you in some way. I
Think you made this up. I love you to death, but I think you just lied on the
podcast.
Brother. I remember it like it was yesterday.
I don't doubt that you bought the book.
No, no, it was not me. It's not like George Costanza. Like I bought you the big
salad. It's like,
You don't remember what book it was? I'm getting light at it.
And you literally went up to the lady at the bookstore and you're like, Hi, I'm Caleb.
And then you looked at me like I'm an idiot for not introducing myself and I'm like, Hi, I'm Molly.
It's a nice thing to do.
It's like you're supposed to be quiet in a bookstore.
You're like, Hey, put her there. How are you? you Caleb we like to read too what's your favorite book
and the girl was like hi I'm Elizabeth
and I was like nice to meet you Elizabeth yeah she was lovely
I'm reading I'm reading a philosophy of walking
I'm also reading the Donna. Tell me about that one. Philosophy of walking is like a
it's a this guy put together a book talking about
I'm like this creative and spiritual practice of going on long walks and walking is like a, it's a, this guy put together a book talking about,
um, like this creative and spiritual practice of going on long walks. And there's a bunch of philosophers who would go on long walks and that's how
they would write. They wouldn't sit at a desk and like put pen to paper.
They would walk and get their ideas.
And then later on they would transcribe them when they felt like they had it
formulated. And I liked that.
And I liked that.
I liked that. And so I've been reading a lot about that.
And then I've been reading the dawn of everything
this big dense fucking heavy book about
Kind of asking like It's asking why?
Why did we as a people get so hung up on the idea of inequality and like we've been asking this question
Philosophically for a long time of like are we inherently egalitarian or inherently?
philosophically for a long time of like, are we inherently egalitarian or inherently
hierarchical as people? Are we like inherently selfish and mean or good and generous?
And good and Jenny, good and Jenny. But it's actually, the book is actually not even asking that question. It's actually asking how we came to ask that question. And then kind of starting to
look at, I'm only like a hundred something pages in, but starting to look at like,
actually these ideas we've had for a long time about like societies were inherently good or inherently bad and then agriculture happened and they
became this. That's all wrong. Societies were inherently different all along. There were
many people in different parts of the world doing different kinds of societies at all
times. And it's like going through a lot of like dense like resources about that. It's
extremely academic and hard to read and I'm, it's taking me a while.
I mean, it was hard to listen to that. I know. It's not fun I'm saying. You're so right.
No but I mean when you read that book do you kind of have to go to another book that's like
maybe a little lighter or you just put on xbox or something? I have to put on xbox and I also I
damn near need to like take notes. I tried reading it on a plane I thought I was gonna
f*** myself. Yeah yeah yeah. It's an important book and I want to learn the information.
Right. But god it feels like it feels like it feels like college
It feels like grad school and I didn't even go to grad school
Yeah, you're putting yourself through it, but I want to know I know and I want you to know so that you can tell me
In a simpler manner and then when I do you'll say it was boring to listen to no
I would never say that did 20 seconds ago. I didn't did yes, and
Brother there's a recording of you doing that. I didn't. Did. Yes, and. Sorry, brother.
There's a recording of you doing it.
I'm sorry.
There's a recorded record.
That's why I brought you in here.
I like that we like to read.
You read those types of books.
Yeah, I loved your story about the nurses.
But I do love walking.
I really resonate with that.
Yeah, I love a good walk.
Because when you sit down, you don't sit down and write stand
up, you just kind of rip.
I don't really write stand up.
Yeah, I've never really sat down.
I improvise the idea on stage, and then I
continue to improvise it until it gets good.
Then you memorize it.
And then I just kind of memorize it.
I have sat down and written out my jokes
before to get them in my head, but it's very rare
that I'm sitting down and being like, do, do, do, do, do.
Right.
You're more writing them down to get them in order
that you already, and you created them on stage.
Yeah, and I'm never writing them out in full.
I'm never going like, set up punchline transition.
My mom's name is Kel.
Right, I'm more writing like,
guy you slept with above grocery store or whatever.
Right.
And then I know that that's a five minute bit.
Yeah.
You know,
I'm also bad at time. The worst thing, my worst part of standup is the timing. I run
the light every time. I don't know how long I've been up there. I don't know how long
my jokes are. I'll tell the same joke in two different rooms on the same night. One time
it's seven minutes, one time it's two. I just don't, I can't. Yeah, we're not really script
standups. No, that's not what I'm doing.
And that's alright.
I think you've never bombed a day in your life, so I think you could run the light.
Well.
Unless I'm waiting for my time and I'll just side-tackle you right off the stage.
Yeah, would you really?
Yeah.
I've never run the light when I'm bombing.
Yeah, no, I think it's like.
I would never do that.
Well, I definitely have seen some people actually. Well, yeah, because then they're trying to end on a laugh
and it's like, brother, you just got to cut your losses. I just, yeah, I'm just like,
get me out of here and I need to go get some ice cream. Yeah. How often do you bomb? In
my head? Every day. I don't think I've ever seen it. I bombed so much when I was starting
in Chicago. I remember like going up at the Laugh Factory for the first time and I totally, I tried
to do all my gay jokes, totally bombed, walked home crying.
And I was like, I'm done with this.
I'm like, I'm never like slushy snow.
I was like, I'm just so bad at stand up.
And then the next day I was like, three shows tonight, let's go.
You know yeah, I have a very
Memory I always thought that you were a star the moment that I saw you perform
I just thought you were genius
But there was this one moment that I thought was so you came and did I had this show in Chicago
With a bunch of friends called studio 11 dude incredible show I loved that show Shelby Wollstein
And I ran it home what it was about first, because it's cool.
Studio 11 was new sketch material every week.
Every single week.
We didn't bring in new sketch material,
a full hour long show,
with a great cast of very funny,
originally there were 11 of us.
And me and Shelby Wollstein kind of ran it and produced it.
And then there were so many funny people.
Grace Kuhlenschmitt was on it.
At one point, Tom Zimmermaker was on it.
So many funny people. Alex Coll point, Tom Zimmermaker was on it.
So many funny people, Alex Collier, Loringa Cornwell,
Gregory fucking Vinny was on it for a second, I think, Vinny Thomas.
Yeah, that's where I met Vinny.
And so many people that weren't on the cast were guests,
like Sarah Squirman was on it, Meg Stalter was on it,
like as guests, and Dairy Queen,
like all of our friends of that moment were doing the show.
And there were weeks, basically it was kind of working out
to where like every other week or every couple weeks
we would have like a really sold out show.
It was like a popular enough show,
but then there would be like slow weeks
and you were booked to do it one week
to do stand up as a guest on the show.
Cause what we would do is we'd have like a guest musician,
a guest drag queen, a guest stand up.
And then in between all that, we'd do our sketches.
And then the gay members of the cast would do this segment called queer and
events where we would do, um,
a news update for the week is like all gay people.
And we'd only do like gay jokes about it. And, um,
we were like little suit jackets and like ties over our t-shirts and shit.
It was silly, but you were the guest stand up one week and you came out
on stage and I guess the microphone wasn't working and Alex Collier was like
I'm gonna fix it I'm gonna fix it and there it was a maybe they're like 20 30
people in the room and you go I don't need it you guys I'm from Ohio and you
just start murdering without a microphone which now I'm like that's the
correct thing to do but at that time I think so many people in our class of comedians didn't have that confidence and skill yet because
that's what a true professional like good killer does and you just fucking started like
screaming your jokes out to this room killing without a microphone and I was like that person
is incredible.
Thank you.
I was blown away. I was like that that person is incredible. Thank you brother.
I was blown away, I was like, that's amazing.
Thanks bud, that's very sweet.
Yeah, of course now I don't like you very much,
but back then I thought you were the best.
Yeah, I mean, I hate my guts.
You want me to meat grinder, I get it.
Yeah.
Well, I think I learned that from doing standup
on Put-in-Bay, the island in Lake Erie,
where I was like, they didn't have mics,
I just went up and started screaming at drunk people.
Yeah.
I got their attention. I got their attention. Then I got to Chicago, I was like, now I gotta have mics, I just went up and started screaming at drunk people. I got their attention.
I got their attention.
Then I got to Chicago, I was like,
now I gotta use a microphone and only do five minutes?
This is crazy.
Because I would do like an hour just messing around.
Out on the farm, they were just letting me freeform it.
The cows go moo and I go ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
So you moved to Chicago to do comedy
and then you went to Dayton first well you went to Dayton first.
Yeah I went to Dayton for college.
Theater degree.
Started, yeah, started doing stand up on like a bet.
My friends were like, you can't do uh, stand up without laughing at your own jokes.
And I'm like, bet, let's do it.
And they were right, but I did, I did get good at it.
Lost that money, but.
Yeah, actually I was terrible at it.
Oh my god, it was so bad.
But you know, everyone is when they start.
Well not you, but. Yeah, actually I was terrible at it. Oh my god, it was so bad, but you know, everyone is when they start. Well, not you, but.
I mean, you started doing standup,
and I was like, this kid, just shant,
doesn't have to do improv.
He can just go improvise by himself.
Like, you can just do like the.
I'm only good at standup because I did improv.
True. That's my truth.
It makes your mind quicker.
Yeah, I am only good at,
I'm only good at comedy because I studied improv period
There's no there's no world where I get good at comedy without very
Like to an embarrassing degree earnestly studying improv like I had to believe in it so much to get good at comedy
There's no world where that doesn't happen
Oh, I believed in it. Yeah. No you had like I had all the second city
Do you have all the second city books and no even worse?
I thought I was so into improv that I was like second city is corporate like I was like
Hey, I was like I was like I was where the magic happens
Like I was worse than a second city kid. I was a purist. I mean the old IO is awesome. I remember going to that
in Williamsburg now Williamsburg and uh
Wrigley Wrigleyville I'd never been to that one. Oh my god Williamsburg, in Wrigleyville.
I'd never been to that one. Oh my God, it was magic, it was so cool.
And then talking about corporate,
the aisle building that is now.
But even still, I felt like long form improv
is like the magic, it's where the special stuff happens.
I believed in the promise that we make to each other
on stage and the contract that we have with the audience.
I believe when you say, you know, who was it? Maybe Susan Messing or Liz.
Susan Messing. Wow. She's such a good improv teacher. But you know, people would say that every, every scene we ever do an improv or otherwise,
it all takes place on one long line that runs forever in both directions. It was here long before us, it'll be going long afterwards. I believed all that shit, you know? And I still to some
extent do, but I, yeah, I mean-
You have a Hey Arnold shrine in your closet?
Basically.
Of Charna?
Basically. Love Charna too. By the way, why wouldn't I? She put me on the SNL Showcase
my first year.
Holy crap.
Yeah, I'm like, hey, Charna was cool to me. I love those dogs.
I love those dogs. I'm like, for real, the dogs be dogging. Yeah, people really hated Sharna and I was like frankly that's my girl
She was just more of a cartoon character walking around in my head. Yeah, I never met her. Yeah
But did you you didn't do the SNL showcase in Chicago? Did you? No, I did it that just the time that we did it
We did it. Yeah, I
Did the comedy studies program at through second City, which is like a semester of comedy,
which was incredible.
Yeah.
It was awesome.
Really?
Yeah, it was like, you go to school like nine to five and it's all comedy, comedy history,
you learn about like vaudeville and you write, writing, improv, and then you have acting
class.
It was amazing.
You would have really loved it. I was amazing. You would have really loved it.
I love that. I remember when we screen tested for SNL, we did the showcase. I had come back
to LA to do it and we did it and we, you and I, you and I got, we both did our sets,
the live show for the producers in LA and then we both killed.
I really felt great about that. If I don't get it, I did the best five minutes that I could have ever possibly done.
You and I got off stage, went into the green room and we were both very calm.
We were like, good job everybody, we'll see you later. We walked to my car, we're
walking to my car vibrating. We get in my car, we get in my car and we're like, we
fucking murdered. And they don't want us, they don't get us. We're like, if they don't want us, fuck them. We rolled down the windows, jammed the music. We drove to Black Cat to meet a bunch of our friends.
We went to the fucking lesbian bar.
Yeah, we're like, yeah, who knows if they'll call,
who gives a fuck?
Who gives a fuck?
Who gives it?
And then when we came here to screen test,
I had done it before.
So you and I were talking a bunch about what it was going
to be like.
And then I remember I had told, I was like, Molly,
I hope you get it.
And then you told me that you went to that church.
Oh yeah.
You went to that church and like, set a prayer
or lit a candle or something.
To Chris Farley.
To Chris Farley's church.
Yeah, and then it ended up being my curse at SNL.
Everyone's like, you're like Chris Farley.
And I'm like, well, maybe if I didn't pray to him.
That one day.
And then I, oh, I was just like.
When you told me you lit a candle,
I was like, I'm not getting that job. I
Was in the green room during my screen test talking to Devon he was like do you want this I was like not really
I'm like I'm going to church. Yeah, I was like that's Molly's gig I'm going to the cathedral and I'm saying prayers to all my dead people. We had a big ass steak dinner
Oh my god. I remember eating that steak and I go I
Can't afford this day
Oh my god, I remember eating that steak and I go, I can't afford this steak.
Oh my god, and then, yeah, then we went out after our test
and we went to meet Lisa, some of our buddies at that bar.
Lisa, Marie, Sydney, Devin Walker was there,
Mary Beth came because she screen tested.
Oh yeah. And I, that night, got...
Oh, never forget. I will never forget that night.
The most drunk I've ever been.
Caleb was drinking vodka cranberries like a kid after a soccer game with Capri Sun.
You were like, I'm like, hey bud, you might want to slow down.
I was throwing them back.
You're like, let's go, let's go. And then we had to fly back to LA the next morning.
And you had the hood on
and I think you might have vomited in the lounge.
I threw up all night long.
Yeah.
I threw up all night long
and then I threw up at the airport.
And then, you did throw up at the airport, I do recall.
And I was like, oh, I must take this in now
because I think this will be the only time
Caleb is more hungover than me in our life.
It will be, yeah.
It will be, yeah.
And it will be a memory that I take to the grave. That was brutal. I got so fucking drunk. I lost my shirt. Yeah, wait, what was that about? I lost my shirt. That's all. Where? I have no clue. I bought a I bought a cute shirt for the screen test because I wanted to look nice on the camera. And I lost it. I lost. I got so drunk. And I was hanging. I was hanging. I was like, I remember I said something to Marie Faust,
and I was like, I was so drunk by the time she got there,
I was like, I just think the world of you,
and I think we have to be friends.
You know, and she was like, okay.
Yeah, she was like, we are, you know?
Oh, Marie is so funny.
Really, really insane.
That was a blast, though.
Yeah, that was.
That was. This podcast is sponsored, that was. That was...

We lived in LA together for a little bit.
I helped you move into your place.
Oh yeah.
Which I'll never forget because you didn't tell me
that all of your guys' furniture was brass or whatever.
The heaviest.
Wait, I didn't have any furniture.
Well, whoever's furniture I moved into that place.
Yeah, that was like uphill steps.
But I helped you move in, you and Shelby move in.
Yeah, but our stuff was easy.
No, it was a...
Oh no. Oh no. Wait, yeah, Chance was easy. No, it was a... Oh no.
Oh no.
Wait, yeah, Chance did too.
I'm like, we were going up and down, up and down,
up and down, and I'll never forget,
Shelby's 400 pound safe.
Oh my God, the stove.
I'm like, the stove.
I'm like, Chance and I looked at each other
and we're like, not, not Chance, no,
you weren't even trying this.
No, we hired movers that said they wouldn't do it.
Oh yeah, that's happened.
Shelby has a 400 pound, or more.
Is it still with her?
I'm sure it is.
Shelby has this stove that her mom or somebody gave to her
that she has moved everywhere and she moved it.
We lived together two places in LA and both times
I was like, Shelby, I will do anything you want
to get rid of the stove get rid of the stove
I mean no one can move it three professional movers couldn't move it and
Like when it went cross-country the u-haul was probably just like yeah, like the wheels are like
I'm surprised it didn't break through the u-haul and truly my god. Yeah, the stove is horrible
So many people have fallen victim to the stove
Stove it And by the way, you're thinking...
It's taken out many, many men.
Oh, is it operable? No. It's decorative.
Yeah, it's decorative. Is there anything in there?
No.
I thought it was a safe.
No. Decorative 8,000 pound stove.
Really crazy move.
Love Shelby to death. Love you, Chica.
Get rid of that stove if you still have it.
That's crazy
Wait, can we talk football for a second? Of course we can talk football for a second. Um
How are you feeling about this weekend? Is it probably that or how do oh we're in the future
Sorry, sorry, I just spun themselves in such a major way
Go Browns were recording before the Bills play the Chiefs. Right.
They've beat us once this season.
Are they the one team we've lost to,
or we lost two games?
Well, we lost to the Broncos in the last week
when all of the starters were rested.
Right, so we lost two games, but yeah.
It counts, because you lost.
It counts, it counts.
Okay, how'd you get into the Browns loop?
Well, we won three.
Three?
Three?
Huh? And our quarterback is not a good man.
So I'm actually more of a Lions fan.
Oh, well, you know how to pick them.
Well, it's closest to Cleveland.
Yeah.
And I like their colors.
You know, I texted Stavi after the Ravens biffed it.
I texted Stavi and said, we've never met, but I'm looking forward to shaking his
hand. I text Stavi and I said, you are loved and important to many.
Please don't make any permanent decisions about the game.
He takes me back and said, I appreciate it.
And it goes without saying I want nothing but pain and suffering for you.
I know it is kind of like, I mean, like give it a rest.

And we're playing. He sets the vibe. He lowers the light. He puts on cool lighting. It's snowing outside or something. I don't know.
Something nice. And he puts on a man, he's like, all right.
And then he puts on this cool soothing music, and we're just playing man, and I go, this

Hi, Caleb and lovely guess this is Peter and I wanted to know the truth about salt
Why is it in everything? Why is everything that tastes good to have salt in
it? What was the deal in like the Bible where people would turn other people into pillars
of salt? That's crazy. That doesn't make any sense. What the heck?
What the heck?
Huge fan. Love you. Love your work. And I'm sure I love you as well as every guest that
Caleb has. It's wonderful. I hope you have a great day and I'm sure I love you as well as being guest as every guest that Caleb has it's wonderful
I hope you have a great day, and I'm looking forward to hearing back from y'all
Really superfluous
Really really chatty guest you know that reminded me of I'll get into the question in a second
But I had a flight attendant on my flight here the other day gay flight attendant
No worries gorgeous who gay guy flight attendant. No worries. Gorgeous.
Who, gay guy flight attendant, who was being real nice to me.
Okay, and I was like, either.
In a gay way?
I was like, either he wants to fuck me in the bathroom
or he knows who I am.
Yeah, it's a nice question.
Or both.
And so he's real nice to me the whole flight,
and then doesn't say anything, and then,
like about, you know, knowing me or wanting to sleep with me.
And then towards the end of the flight,
he like comes over to hand me a snack
and drops off a postcard.
And in the postcard he had written on the back of it,
he was like, he was like, Diva, Diva doll queen.
I'm not kidding, I'm not kidding.
It says Diva, period, Diva doll queen.
I am such a huge fan.
I've been trying to play it cool.
Hopefully I've been cool.
Thank you for being on this flight. And then like, and it was was like I watch your stuff all the time and then was like wrote his name
It was really sweet. That is precious. Isn't that sweet? That is precious kind of sounded like this guy
I was like, maybe this is my flight attendant. Oh my gosh, but it was how do we know the name is different? Okay
Salt well, it's delicious tasty. Yeah, like
Well, why is this like breakfast sandwich so good is because it's
Yeah, like oh, why is this like breakfast sandwich so good is because it's
Douse salt is everything you know when you go to restaurants And you go why is the way they make this better than the way I make it butter salt salted butter
They put salted butter on everything to an extent that you cannot imagine who's out there buying unsalted butter
Freaks shame on you freaks and Mormons shame on freaks and Mormons, and they're allowed to have salt
I just don't think they enjoy anything.
Mormons.
Sorry, Mormons.
Eh, I'm sorry.
We got a lot of Mormon fans.
You believe in hell?
I don't know if I believe in hell, but I do think there'll be bad people and they gotta
go somewhere.
You think bad people get punished in the afterlife?
Yeah, I think they come back maybe as...
Some days I'm like, oh, they come back as like ants and I'm the one stepping on them.
Or...
That's nice.
Yeah, or they're just like, you know,
as they taught in Catholic school,
they're just burning alive down there.
Yeah, down there.
I've started to experiment lately with the idea
that maybe everyone gets what they deserve.
Like maybe everyone just gets what they deserve.
Maybe nice people get something nice,
maybe bad people get something bad,
maybe medium people get something medium.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but like then there's such good people that so many bad things happen to them
I'm like no, but that's they're good people so they would get good
I'm not saying you don't have to death you mean yeah, I'm saying after yeah
No, not in life certainly no
There's plenty of good people that get bad things and bad people that get good things
I'm saying I've been experimenting with the idea of like we don't know what happens after we die
We all get to decide for ourselves
So I've been starting to experiment with the idea of,
what if everyone gets what they deserve?
That'd be kind of nice.
Maybe if you spend your life being nice to people
and doing good, and I'm not talking about being
a fucking saint, but if you're a saint,
maybe you get something saintly.
You know, and if you're a devil,
maybe you get something devilish.
Maybe hell exists for hellions.
Hellions.
And then good for good people.
Hellions rise!
Maybe me and all my friends will be in an alt comedy scene after this is all over
