Directed an absolute banger. We got the limited edition popcorn bucket. Did you ever have popcorn in it? That's where you got it.

I had popcorn out of it. Oh, yeah. I got it at the premiere. Someone I know had it and they still have the popcorn in it. They didn't know they never opened it. So they were like, I was like, you know, there's popcorn in here. And I was like, when I was, when I was a kid, uh, me and Benny were like, we're going to put a bunch of, we're going to like store the candy. Yeah, yeah.

And it's like in our, in our drawer. Post-Holween, you're talking. Or just general candy. I think it was actually, yeah, but it went from Halloween all the way to like December. Wow. Yeah, you open up that drawer. It was probably like a million cockroaches in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Candy never lasted in the Halkius household. But no, I'm happy you got this right here. Yeah. Yeah, dude. It went fast. Candy never lasted. No, dude. Did you organize it?

Like bounty at the end of the Halloween? It got one organization and then it was all hands on. Then it was just rappers. It was, yeah, me and my brother. I obviously have a food addiction. My brother has a food addiction. And then we have... Your brother has a food addiction too?

Yeah, he's... Yes, he has it. He was always jacked. Like, he runs a gym and he's like, you know... I don't... Now he's like a middle-aged dad. Yeah. It's finally caught up to him.

Like, he always eat more than me. Yeah, it's tough. But between, and then our middle brother, you know, just a normal guy. You could turn it all into insane muscle? I know you're doing the Arnold pump. I think I can. But you know what? You don't want to become carrot top.

No, no. I'm never going to get, of course, listen. Bouncer body's what I want, right? Like when I look at my. Bouncer body's sick. Bouncer body just like, yeah. Black T-shirt gut. Big ass arms.

Big ass arms. Big ass arms, big arms little titties has always been my fitness goal. That's it. And that's all I got to get to. just like, but dude, huge. You want the big ones. I want the pythons. And it works.

You can be a fat guy with big arms and it doesn't take away your fat essence. Because there is nothing worse. I love a fat guy so much. Because I'm somebody I could never. Yeah. I just can't. I can't do it. As much as I eat.

What was the fat as you ever were? Fad? Never. Never. Fat? Like, I mean, I don't think I've ever. Like, I literally, I just, I went to the doctor the other day. I was like, wow, you good.

You put on nine pounds. I was like, hell yeah. Because I was like, damn, dude. Yeah, I was like... Was food never a joy for you or... You just... I love fucking eating. But you just couldn't...

I love eating. I'm so nervous and anxious. Interesting. And it just eats away at the... I see. At the calories. Like a shivery dog, like a chihuahua. Like a shivry dog or like a guy who's worried he's going to get thrown into a camp at any moment.

You know what I mean? Like, I'm just like... That's still around. I think you're okay. No, I'm definitely... That's part of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the constant unease of anxiety.

Totally. Totally. No, so I don't, I never like this idea. And like in my family, too, it's just like, I don't know. I guess you call it luck. But like I don't think it's lucky. I want to be a big dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe. Did anybody age into it into your family? There's a couple. Skinny fat in your older years could happen. Skinny fat. Skinny fat's the worst type of. It's bad, but it might be on your horizon is all I'm saying. If anything is, you're not going to become a big guy. You know what it is? It's like, you're talking about like the Grinch's body. Exactly. Yeah.

You don't want to be the Grinch's body. He don't want to be... Right on his feet, though. You got to give it to the Grinch. Definitely light on his feet. You got it. Yeah.

You got it. That's so fucking funny. Yeah, no. No, the popcorn got eight day of. Don't you worry. There's no popcorn in there. Okay, good, yeah, yeah. But I'm just not even that much.

If you have to, if I bought that in a suit at a, at a theater, I mean, like, it's not even that much popcorn. Can I be honest? I had that, I had that fat thought where I was like, this is awesome, but I'm like,

I'm three minutes in it's gone. Thank you for this. Can I also have my bag of popcorn? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I almost thought, then it looks like you're getting more to resell them, right? It looks like you're a guy who's like trying to put this shit on D-pop or some shit. For sure. No, all that stuff. I just wanted the popcorn, but I stuck to one.

Someone was like, I forgot what they were saying. They were like, can I get a Marty jacket? I was like, I don't even have a Marty jacket. And I was like, you want to wear it, you don't see any type of reason? I was like, I want to sell it. They were like straight up. I was like, I want to sell that. They just told you that.

And I was like, yeah, I can get like two racks for that right now. And at the same time, I kind of like respected you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, it will cost you nothing to get it. Right, right, right. You're giving me $2,000. Of course. And I was like, you know what?

It's like on set when I would go up to like a random extra. Mm-hmm. And I'm like, who was just, you know, great. And I cast him because I might do this. And I'll go up to him like, all right, you're going to have a line. I'm going to have this thing. I'm going to walk in through here. Timmy doesn't know what's going to happen.

And I was like, and you're going to get like $1,200. He was like, what? Like in that moment, he's like, I just got $1,200. And I love that. That's got actually, didn't love that. I would just go around handing it out, like, lines out. You get $1,200. You get $1,200.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, that's kind of fun because you're like, I love it. Look, I cast you because you have one of the most noticeably fucked up faces I've ever seen in my life. Beautiful, beautiful faces. But the upstart is, you might get $1,200 bucks to call Timmy Gay or something in like 1950s accurate lingo. It was like, you know, when we were shooting in the bowling alley, there was just...

Love that scene, by the way. Yeah, my wife, she like, we, we promised kid Douglas. We used to know, I used to have a, I used to actually have an office in this building. And this guy knew Douglas, they had a, we were like, you know, freelance. We did, like, we did commercials if you had no budget. Right. So, like, if you had, like, 30 grand to do a taxi TV commercial and you had no one to go to, you came to us. And we would spend 400.

on it and keep the money. And we'd split it up amongst themselves. That was our whole thing. But it was our aesthetic. You know what I mean? So people were like, oh yeah, you're getting that gritty aesthetic. Totally. That gritty aesthetic was purely financial.

You know what I mean? But we were, we would do. So we were also trying to make feature films. So we were like pretty serious and we would do that stuff like an HP printer commercial or whatever. Yeah. That stuff was like we knew we were paying bills and we were trying to make these feature films. But there was this guy only bringing up because he ended up moving up state near that bowling alley and helped us final. us find a lot of local people but he had a model agency on the floor and we were just kind of like

we were so we were so mean about it we were kind of like model people coming in we'd have this huge row of models sitting there like waiting to come and get their photo taken we getting out of the elevator going from our deli and we'd be like so like nasty stomped stomping through and then one day one day uh have you ever smelled liquid ass like the the prank liquid oh sure fart spray no this was Farts where I got in trouble for in elementary school. I remember. Fart bombs, you shook them up. Fart bombs, the fart spray was a spray, right?

Spray. And I remember I had this principal, Principal Miss Levy. She came in because the girl I sprayed it in here, like got on her and she claimed it like, she claimed it, it burned her. But it didn't. Of course.

She just didn't like me. Yeah. And I loved her. That's why I did it. Oh, wow. Classic little kid stuff. Every time of like third grade. You know what I mean?

I loved her so much. You put that. in uh... Daddy Longlegs, man. Good fucking memory. So, uh, and anyway,

so she crunched that fucking can in her hand. She's like, why'd you do this? Yeah, yeah. But anyway, so we had liquid ass. Liquid ass is worse

because this is one of the worst smelling things I've ever smelled. It's pretty bad. Is it the rotten egg one? No, it's called liquid ass. It comes in a white bottle. The drawing is like, drawn by like a 10 year old.

Yeah. And it looks like like the type of person who would come up with liquid ass. Yeah. And it was so bad you had to keep it in his. Ziploc bag. Oh, wow. And I remember like, Benny had it in the Ziploc bag and he was like, we can't keep it out because you'd smell it. So we went out there, right? And we

hit the carpet a few times. And then we put a camera at the end of the hallway. And you have all these people who are coming in to be like, I don't know, in the next like, guess, jeans ad or something. And they're like, ooh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like, no one wants to say, like, did somebody rip ass? Of course. Because they're all models. They're trying to be like, you know, we don't fart.

Of course. You know what I mean? And like, we're like beauty incarnate. We're not human beings. Exactly. Who was the, who was the thigh master? Oh. Suzanne Somers.

Yes, I believe so. She said she had never farted. I remember like hearing that. Come on. It's like, how is that possible? Come on. Suzanne. You can't.

Didn't she do some weird diet too? She was, she was plugging like the some kind of protein heavy diet. Yeah. You're farting on an all protein diet. I think it was souring. South Beach, was that her eldest? What do we got? Sounds perfect. Is that salad?

I'm seeing, it's called summer sizing. Summersizing. So, it's on food combining and eliminating sugar slash processed carbs. No sugar? That's like a keto type thing, right? Keto, you're ripping ass. I know. She's out of her mind.

Yeah, yeah, you're not. Maybe she meant I never do it outside of the bathroom. Maybe, perhaps. Like, you'll never hear me rip one. Which I could. Yeah. Still a lie, but at least feasible. At least feasible.

Yeah. So maybe SBVs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So a couple of silence. Absolutely. Sneak them in. Yeah, yeah.

Who knows? The thigh master, I don't know what kind of Kegel control that gives you, too. You know? Who knows? So, you know what, Suzanne? Let us know, maybe we're wrong. I remember, you know, it's so funny. Where is she now?

Is this a say on the internet what she's up to? I saw, and here's another hilarious fat memory that she, I remember her on Jay Leno. This is how I remember this diet that was protein health. heavy. She had like a chicken wing recipe. And as just a fat child, you were like watching Jaylen, I was like, damn, that sounds awesome. And to this day, I don't know. I just remember hearing about chicken wings 25 years ago. And that's locked in now. I mean, these are what I remember. I mean, I was I would watch all the late night shows. Conan was my favorite. But yeah, that's what that and like Kevin Eubanks laughing was amazing. He's the man. Conan was the best. Yeah, I worked on, I produced if I had

legs I kick you and I was like just working with him was man he's so good yeah because he is a therapist that was like so easy for him that was why Mary was like it was she didn't have to really obviously she had to work with him but like he is just that he did a he came up to me he's like able Ferrar's in your movie I was like yeah everyone out there right now saved bookmark Abel Ferreira Conan O'Brien Abel oh I remember that one he's got a little red flower and he's he's fucked he's on cloud nine. Yeah. He's just in the clouds. Yeah. And when I

worked with him and Daddy Longlegs, he's sober now. He's cool. He talks about. His book is amazing. His book, yeah, I remember. His book's amazing scene. It's dude, his shout out, Abel Farron. His director commentaries. Yeah. The director of King of New York. Yeah, it's pretty wild. You just give him some money and he'll do that.

He's just talking about how much he wants to fuck every like actress in it. He's just... Oh my God, what a piece of ass. imagine you walk in she says oh baby I'm happy to see you he's just like fantasizing about his life it's so good able able at that period in his life was not a present person he was I mean maybe he was too present and drugs were like messed him up he's so different now I didn't really know I knew him I worked at a video store and he lived above a um Italian restaurant called La Mela on mulberry street

is real garlic oil spot like you everything is baked cake and garlug I liked it. It was good. And he lived above the restaurant, like, probably rent-free. They loved him a little Italy. They love him in Italy. He lives there now. Oh, really? And he's like, he was not a sober person.

I didn't, I don't think he ever even, we worked together. I don't think he knew my name. Like, he would call me his director. I think only because he didn't know my name. He would be like, oh, this is my director. And I'm like, if someone's meeting, I'm like 25 years old and can. He's like, that's my director right here. I was like, I'm thinking this guy does not know my name at all, like, at all.

Totally. But that's so, like, lifestyle he was living. Of course. So he would come into the video store to borrow money. That was like his thing. Wow. And he and I talked about this.

And one time he came in and he was just like, he really wanted to borrow some money. And he like, this friend of this girl Coco was working there at the time. And she was like, I gotta call the boss if you want to do that. Mike, I got to call him.

He's like, well, I don't know. You don't have to call Mike. Yeah, yeah. He's 20 bucks. Yeah, yeah. So then whatever. And then like,

but then on Sunday he'd bring a cut, like a rough cut of go-go-go-tales, This is a woman to phone movie. And he'd be showing it to us, and he'd spent, like, three hours talking to us about making the movie. So he was always a really, really, really, like, sweet-giving guy. But he was a drug addict. So, like, he could, you know, get himself into trouble just from, like, just not being, like, there. Of course.

So when we were making the movie together, he was like, I want my money up front. I was like, no way. Yeah. No way. No way. I told she was in the movie too I told her I was like look

go and meet him and give him the $75 half up front and there's a no budget movie Yeah yeah And she and she was Playing hardball with $150 Exactly I can't trust the

Then he got the 75 The second he got the 75 He's like I pull over over here And she was like whoa what's going on He goes I just got to make a quick stop He went into the flower district Disappeared behind some like exotic ferns And then she was texting me

She was like I think we lost him. I was like, what? He was in the cab. She's like, I think it's done. And then he came back out, you know, whatever. He did his thing. And then he came and he was, he was amazing. But like, he was an incredible. He made the scene better. He asked

all the right questions. He made the character totally lived in. And at the end, this is Daddy Longlegged. And then, yeah, yeah, he robs Ronnie in it. And Ronnie's like, I don't think he has, when I met, when he met Ronnie later, when we were doing, I forgot what. I was like, this Ronnie. I was like, you guys have met before. And he

I had no idea. That's the lifestyle he was living. Of course. He was blowing through people. He didn't know what was going. But now he's a totally different guy. Yeah. He sends me like Buddhist scriptures and, and, and when he showed up to set that one day, he was like, I was like, you know, so used to knowing him as this other person.

And that's who I was kind of casting. Even though I had kind of gotten to know him differently over the years on WhatsApp, but like WhatsApp's a whole other world. Yeah, yeah. That's like immigrant aunt. That's my dad's. Yeah. WhatsApp only. Greek people don't even have,

they have Viber. I don't even know what that is. It sounds like a competitor to Grindr. It doesn't sound like a wholesome texting app. Vibre. Vibre really feels like a hookup. Is that an, is that like an exclusively non-English language thing?

No, I just think it's like a, it's a bootleg WhatsApp essentially. I see. All my relatives at least are Viber people. So I never got on WhatsApp. Are you on Vibor? I'm on Vibor. I'm on Vibor.

I'm on Vibor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the app look like? It's pretty much WhatsApp, but purple. A purple. Yeah. I get a lot of Greek memes. Nice. A lot of stuff about, you know.

Crushed and they're super crushed, right? Like, they're like nine times shared. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One time I got a, I got a, I got a WhatsApp message from my Syrian grandmother who doesn't speak English. Uh, those French is her language. Although she and her husband, they are born in Syria. They spoke, they argued in Arabic. They spoke most of their language, like their conversations in French. When they would get like romantic, they would break into Italian.

Wow. And then English was just reserved for, like, their two weird grandchildren who were not born in there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'll get a meme from her. Some, like, weird-ass meme. She's 90-something. And I'll see it's been shared 295 times.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're just like, whoa, this is like, and I look forward to my friend. One time I would, like, 1,200 times. Yeah, dude. And she's, like, so, like, misguided. Like, she'll get, like, hit with some fake news and run with it. Oh, totally.

Yeah. Yeah, my, I don't know, I think my aunt has learned. how to like it's like a template and it's like nice so it's like flowers and it's like nice writing but then but then you can add to it she can she

will then put horrific shit in it so it'll be like bunnies and like and she'll be like you should be ashamed you should respect your father more and it's like and it's like it's like a child who doesn't respect his parent is worth nothing

and it's like lilacs and a meadow and it's like it was just like This is how you couldn't just write that you had to find the template She knew she had to reach you Yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah The imagery yeah yeah yeah

A powerful A powerful image yeah Memes are powerful, memetic power Yeah yeah yeah absolutely The symbolism got me And it did make me laugh Usually like if I had seen that It wasn't to me

I'm okay with my family now But you know it's an inter-family drama or whatever And if I would have seen that from my aunt I would have been like I would have immediately been like You dumb bitch This is not your fucking problem. Shut the fuck up.

She just texted that. But the fact that had like a little bunny. Yeah, you were like, okay. We also don't like if she didn't write it. She wrote it. Oh, okay. It's like a relatable meme is also interesting. No, no, it's not relatable.

She just took the like template and put and just aired out a family member. Do you have a go-to meme that you share with both? Like, what's your meme right now? Not really. I'm not really. You're not a meme share? I have like, I have a friend who like has a, he invited me to a, I, I, uh, I, iCloud stream it's called um fuck what is it called it's called like it's called like it's it's

it's pretty wild yeah like every once in a while i'll go in there and i'm like let me see what let me see if i can grab something in this moment if i can totally here let's see uh shared here i feel like seize the memes sees the memes but they're like you know yeah i feel like lots of crying people sure like we share a lot of like uh like weird ultra, like, there's like guys who are trying to, like old, fucked up looking dudes

who are trying to tell other, like, essentially cucks how to keep the marriage spicy. So it's like a fat, ugly guy with like a cowboy hat and he's like, pull your lady over to you and tell her.

And it's just like the most... Sounds great. But it makes your skin growl because it's like, this is private. Like, listen, I'm glad this guy still fucks his wife, right? Good for them.

I'm glad it puts it on a little cowboy hat and fucks her. That's between them. Yeah, of course. I need to know this. But he is trying to like, he thinks it's very interesting because I think now because of everything being democratized, probably 50 years ago in their private moments, just a guy who works a regular job, considered himself like a sexy guy.

Yeah, yeah. But that would go away because you'd be like, that's a ridiculous thought. How would anybody even consider me? But now that's there, you think? Now they're like, they're seen. Maybe I can just put it a tick, get a TikTok going and maybe I have a couple thousand followers. And it's, yeah, I'll send you this guy. He's, and he also, he became popular amongst,

us because he kind of looks like one of our college friends. And it's like, whoa, this guy's going to become him. Like, because we had a friend who was. He's older. He's older. And our friend, our college friend. Do you send these to him? Yeah.

Well, I send them. You know what? I should be, I should stop being a coward and send them directly to them. Yeah. Because it's, I send them to like our other friends. That's my biggest fear is like my, my, my friends sending shit about me. Then they don't have the courage to share with me. You know what?

No, no. That sucks. It's not even encouraging is that we have. grown apart, but this might be exactly how we come back. Dude, that's great. Because I'm like, dude, just send him, dude, you look great in this vid. I've done that. And we will connect again. There's a, there's, I have a

Because he also was weirdly sexual at the time. Like, he was one of those guys who fancied himself like a fuck fuck guy. Oh, okay, that's great. So then he'll remember you. He'll remember you. He remembers me. I feel seen right now. He remembers my essence. There's a, there's a hand, there's like a, like old group chats with me and like old, old friends,

like teenage friends where our entire relationship is kind of entirely based on sending the most insane-looking people and be like, this is you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you're just like, everyone's in a while, like, for a long time, it was so endearing, but we don't talk to someone for a long time and you get, this is you, you're like, yeah.

You're like, kind of lost that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now it's just mean, this just feels mean. And it gets, I don't, yeah, they get worse over time. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. So the guys who now look like a fucked up version of you, ooh, that's tough.

I'm not kind of getting there a little bit because they were always like also so older and You're just like, huh, that's kind of a little too close to the bone right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. No, you're right. You pay for that with the actual currency of intimacy. Oh, yeah, exactly. But when that's gone, don't find any fat guy with a bonnet. It might work, yeah.

It might work, though. This, I think we can, I'll keep your brother. Were you super tight? We were boys, yeah, yeah. And it would actually be a good night. And every time we see each other. In a way, it could be like, like there was a, I have a, I have a, I have a, I'm, I'm, one of my oldest friends. We were really tight with this other person. And that person is no,

neither and either of our lives. So one time I saw him, he looked at me, goes, did you hear he lost a thumb? And I was like, oh, he lost a thumb. That's life changing. Yeah, yeah. And he goes, no, he didn't, but he could have. You know what I mean? And I thought that was so funny. You're right. He could be a completely different guy. Yeah, just like, but then in that moment, I was like, oh my God, man, this guy knew so he doesn't have a thumb anymore. Yeah. Dominant thumb. Can't pick shit up and, yeah. Like, that's hard. Prehenso.

That's like a real, like anyone who loses a thumb, I'm so like, you know, I feel for you. Because you fall below like ape. You know, because that's what sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Yeah, exactly. Well, no, I guess, you know, lots of. Yeah. But you know what I mean? You know a lot more, but thumb is tough.

Lying. Lying keeps us outside the food chain. True. Lying. Yeah, yeah. Because you can be like early people were like, dude, the food's that way. go that way. And they walk into some like

Cougar den. Yeah, true. And then they're killed. You're like, now I got the food. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you a part of any unions?

Unions? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You sag. That's right. Sag doesn't have a magazine, right? They don't have like a mailer magazine. It's too big of a union to have the magazine. They send stuff,

Jack was kind of preparing us for the Blueman group, I feel like. You know, you paint Jack Blue. Yeah, he would have been... He kind of... Yeah, I didn't, but I can never got video games. I never got... Sims? Sim City?

Sim City. I never got into Sims. Sim City, I loved. You can just, like, build the sickest city and then just destroy it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're playing God. UFO invasion. Yeah, it just loved designing the cities.

But I never got into video games. You know why? Like if I play GTA, I'm just getting five stars. I just want the government after me. Yeah, yeah, it's fun. That's all I'm doing. You could do that for hours. Yeah, you can't just get on you.

It's pretty fun. I've done it. I mean, that's how I played GTA and I did play it for hours. Do you do the narrative stuff, though? Do you do? I would do some of it. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I just never like, like, damn, I hope my composer,

he's super into, like, indie video games. Timmy is as well. Yeah. You know, and like, I have, like, Tyler's, like, Tyler would, like, my early, you know, bonding with him was him coming over. me just watching him play GT. Yeah, that's fun too, though. And then he would have all the breaks and the hacks.

You create his own character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get unlimited guns, get exploding bullets. Exactly. Yeah. Fun stuff. Exactly. No, a lot of hard.

It was like a video game person. So when this box arrived, I was like, man. Yeah. And I wrote the guy. I was like, you didn't send the rug. He said, yes, I did. I was like, this is what you sent. And I'm not returning it.

Because it was so heavy. I don't want it. And I got to go. And he was like, it's fine. It's fine. It was junk that I was selling anyway. because it's like for me to have to go to this post office and return that thing.

Yeah. It's like you just, whatever, so bad. But eBay is, eBay is, is, it's nice. I mean, listen. I want it to keep going. People like Etsy. Etsy's fine, but it does get. It's a different vibe.

The logo is different too. It also is getting a lot of, a lot of fake bullshit gets on there. A lot of, like, mass-produced shit gets on there. Yeah, like, early startup stuff. Totally. Yeah, you won life. Someone screen printing. eBay will do, like, because here's why I'm there.

I'm trying to find vintage Hawaiian shirts. 100% I see. That's number one why I'm on eBay. Or the Dekeme Matumbo Nixir is. Yeah, exactly. A weird bobblehead. I got a Christmas tree, a weird, like, I need ornaments. You got a Christmas tree on eBay?

No, no, no. But I needed ornaments. I got some fun like Simpsons Christmas vintage ornaments. You know, that kind of shit. Anything where it is a person, taking it out of there, some weird storage in their shitty house and putting it in a weird box. I love when it comes like a shoe box. Oh, yeah, the best.

It's awesome. Oh, the best. You're just like it's taped up the wrong way. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. From like a, like a, um, uh, uh, Liz Claybourne. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, I didn't order a pair of shoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, this looks like it could be a bomb.

It's probably from eBay. Yeah, it's good stuff. Yeah, I love that. Yeah. And then they'll use the weirdest shit to pack it, like some dirty socks. Or if you buy, if you buy records, which I buy a lot of records, you get the, they, they, they pay, you get the record you want. And then the both sides is the most.

like destroyed record of like it's like you know like a thriller record like oh wow he sent me a thriller record too but you open it up and it's just like a million scratches on it so it's just but I like it's packing but you get to see more of who that person is totally the packing packing and that's true we we have everything is so sanitized where it's like I want a little fucking junk I want to feel the person and it's nice when you and even waiting first not two day shipping you're like first of all it's funny because you do stock Xx and stuff like that? I used to a little bit.

I used to sell the free shit that I would get. I would sell it with my boy on. You're basically the guy who asked you for the jacket. Dude, don't joke. I remember I was when there was like, at one point I was like, I was like selling posters and stuff. Well, there was definitely a point in your life where you were cooler than you had money.

Exactly. So you were like, all right, I got this merch thing. Yeah. You know, maybe I'll sign it. Yeah. You know, that's so funny. You have no money in the bank, but doing this could make you $80.

Yeah, and then there's like, and then, you know, I know I put an autograph, big autograph collector, but he doesn't sell in Marty. He's also in Gems. He's the, this fucking guy, that guy. And he gets in Gems, in Gems, he's the guy who Howard keeps, like, pushing away. Oh, yes, yes, yes. And in Marty, he's able, he plays, like, kind of like the sidekick, dude. Oh, that guy's incredible.

Yeah, he's amazing. He's an amazing guy, really special, really unique. He went to high school with my mom And I was like I was like Do you remember my mom? He's an autograph guy Yeah he's an autograph guy Yeah there was a great photo of him like at the airport with Rihanna

And he's in the background And I said to him like because What's interesting about well what's crazy about him in the movie is he's in the movie And Marty and I saw him outside of Gwen in this trailer once And I was like Mitchell what are you doing here man And he's like is that not okay? And I was like No

You're her co-star You can't do that. He's like, I got this picture from Emma. I really wanted to get her to sign. And I was like, you can't do it. It's not a good look. And I was like, I'll get a signed for you. Right.

And then I was like, because I love Mitchell. And his collection is not for sale. Oh, okay. So he's got a great collection. He used to trade with Johnny Ramon. That's awesome. Yeah. He's a really special, unique guy.

One of one. No one like him. Yeah. And I was like, I'll get a signed for you. I promise. So then like I put it and I gave it to somebody. And I was like, we have to make sure that Gwen signs this. and that was my mistake is I didn't do it myself

and I'm really ashamed. And then it got bent. And he was like, it got bent. And I was like, I'm so sorry, I'll find another one. He goes, there is no other one. So I made it up from in other ways. But I was just like, when I saw him outside, his brother, too, his brother always tries to get me to put music in the movies.

And they have a band together. And they're so, they're so sick. They're like, make these, like, kind of surf, like pop songs. I'm interested in this big time. But then he didn't give me a CD on this one. Give me a CD on everyone. He'll give it to me. This one, he actually really nice at table tennis.

And he's like, I'm really good. You should put me in the movie. He's like, all right, you got to get your haircut. He's like, won't do it. I was like, you're not going to me in the movie then. He's like, all right. But then he like showed up on the day we were shooting in the table tennis parlor and snuck into the background of the scene. We're like full 20, 255 clothing.

And I'm looking in the background and I'm like, Stuart? I'm like, Stuart's like, Stewie, what are you doing? He's like, I'm good. I told you I'm good. I was like, 1952. Yeah, yeah. You're wearing it Nietzsche. Yeah.

He can't be in it. He's like, all right. And he's like intimidating. His brother's intimidating guy. I remember we were on set shooting the scene where and they're in the park. And he just, him and his brother were having a fight.

Out of spite, he would not hold his keys for the take. So Mitchell came up to me. I'm watching. He's like, just hold my keys. Stewart's like, I'm not going to do it. I'm sorry.

And I was like, Stuart, just hold the fucking keys. He's like, nope. I'm not going to do it. So I was like, and Mitchell's like, well, you hold my keys. He gives me like the biggest set of keys.

So I'm like, janitor's ring. Anna Wallet and stuff like that. But the director is great. And I was like getting Mitch to go kind of like prod get between them a little bit. But then I was at Odessa's house shooting this thing for promo or whatever.

And it was like a tour of her house. And she's like, oh wow, this is the CD that Stewart made. I was like, he didn't give me a CD. Wow, you're off the CD list. And then it was like a whole album about Odessa. Oh, no. It was just like about how he loved the character. The muse, and he was like, Odessa, Osaya.

It was amazing. The music was amazing. That's fucking awesome. And she had a CD player. Holy shit. And I told Mitch, I was like, Mitch, like, you didn't tell me. He's like, oh, yes, Stuart made that, that CD because he thought she was the best actor in the movie. She's incredible, by the way.

She's great. I mean, she's got a sagnam. Huge. Huge. Shout to Adessa. I mean, dude, the whole, yeah, we got a serious operation. We got whatever presets came with that. He's had the fucking thing for two years.

God forbid he download a single fucking sound on it. He's getting there. Dude, Stern started talking about Marty yesterday because Marianne from Brooklyn is the opening of the movie. And then Ratso's in it too, and Ratso wrote private parts. Oh, he wrote private parts. He wrote private parts.

He's great. I didn't even realize that was him. Yeah. He's so good. He's so good. He's amazing. Yeah. I went to go see a National Lampoon thing

at the New York Public Library when they were like doing their little anniversary or whatever. And I'm there and I'm not laughing. It wasn't laughing. It's like an hour into this 45 minutes in there. No laughs. I was like this is pretty weird. National Lampoon. I guess it's not. Maybe not that funny or or I mean it was really funny. And then Ratso gets up there and he's reading from they did this hilarious TV guide spoof. Actually in that TV guide spoof they did like it was like an advertisement for Rocky 30. And like he's like super old. Yeah. When did they do that? That was 80s. They knew what they were doing.

They were sick. It's a really, you should get that on eBay. It's really good. But Gilbert Godfrey did the funniest jokes in it. So Ratzow's like, I'm just going to go through and I'm going to read Gilbert Godfrey's drocks that were published. And they were the funny. He tore the house down.

Yeah, yeah. I got to know that guy. And the way he looked and everything. It's like, I got to know that guy. And he's special. I put him in a few things. And he's great. But so Ratso used to be a big part of the show.

He used to call in a lot. This is like whack pack peak Stern era. And Stern is just, first thing. watch six minutes of the movie because the blue ray was grainy i don't think that's true and i'm texting with gary and like gary get me on the air right now i got to like roast Howard yeah yeah yeah and i tried to get howard in gem somewhere oh wow at one point i was like let's make howard howard you know uh so but i love marian from brook i love all that i'm joey boots rest in peace i used to i put i used to work with joey boots i know all those guys so anyway so he's on and

i'm like i can't believe howard's like talking he's done he did rob for good time he did Howard for Jim. So I've got to hear him talking about my movies. But now he's like talking about it in a real way. There's no celebrity. It's Marianne from Brooklyn who he's used to like, totally Fred throwing in the squaw, wah, you know, and like, so he's, and Marion's so special. And she's so beautiful. And I'm like, and she's so good. She was so unnatural. And he's just kind of like, he's being nice. He's like, you're pretty good. You're pretty good. And he's like, and, and, uh, and then with Rato, he's, he does say he's amazing. He's like, he out does Timmy. But he's like this guy man he's like making

one of the way he looked he's like he used to wear these dark sunglasses all the time and I was like rats are you trying to look cool he's like no no I have sensitive eyes he's like no man you're just trying to look cool because you do not look cool and I was like I was texting rats I was like Howard's going in on you right now anyway no but it's an incredible

I mean that's the thing about all I mean all the movies it's like it's like you have the cast and it almost feels like you could do a like a getting the team together montage of you casting your movies? Sure, it's the best.

That's my favorite part. It's incredible. Like the kinds of people you have out of nowhere. And Jen reached out to you and Jen knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, yeah. On Begonia, yeah, absolutely. And you're so great.

Jen was awesome. That scene, the first time you dropped this little hint of like, there's some shit from the past. When you get to the house and you're like, listen, man, I never did that with anyone else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're so good. It was such a fun.

But Jen was great for you to cast you in that. She's incredible, dude. No, she was so cool. And the work. she's done on this and you guys do together. Yeah, she and I go deep together. Where you find the, like, the casting of it is so cool and perfect. I mean, the one thing, and I should have known, it was going to make so much sense.

But I remember when, like, I see the trailer. Oh, no, no, Mr. Wonderful, because she's a piece of shit. Because I'm like, fuck that guy. You like Shark Tank? This is the biggest Shark Tank fan in the world. I've clocked a lot of Shark Tank. So, and we're best friend. I mean, he's the best. He's incredible.

He's so good. But I like Cuban, too, even though he's not on the show. anymore. I like Barbara a lot. Barbara's always, she comes in and you're like, I like Barber. You get the sense that she picks the winners. Yeah. Yeah. I like Cuban, because he always seems like, like, he's so like, Cuban's the richest. Cuban's the richest. Yeah, he doesn't need to be that vibe that he's the richest. And he had some more, I have to admit at the after party, Cuban had some aura in a fucking sweatshirt. Oh yeah. He was outdoing. He was outdoing. Did you ever see the doc? Did Lenny Cook? You ever see that? So, so my producer on that,

he was like, we were looking for money. And, because he tried to make, that movie in 2001 or whatever. And he like... It's a documentary about like this phenom from New York who was... It was supposed to be. But he was... This was the draft class of Mello, LeBron. And at a time, I think he was number one in the draft class early.

Yeah, he was a year older than LeBron. Oh, he was. Because I remember, yeah. And LeBron made his name against Lenny at ABC Camp. He had... And my producer had the only existing footage of the shot that put LeBron on the map. Wow. And Mav Carter was going up to my producer, me like,

you're focusing on the wrong thing. guy. Right, right, right. But really, I think he focused on the right guy. You know what I mean? It's a really compelling documentary. LeBron's story is amazing and I respect him a lot from making that doc because what it takes, you know, obviously Marty is kind of about that too.

Well, I was going to say that. It's like, it struck me as like, man, if Lenny was wired like Marty, we're talking about him right now. But it was like. Yeah, because Lenny had all the juice, but he had no drive. He could. Yeah, it was like, it was like this guy who, you know, it was, I mean, the dream big, right? That's the Marty thing.

It's like, it wasn't Lenny's dream. Yeah. It was like a portrait of a guy. It was everybody else's dream for him. And he just happened to have the potential maybe to do it. It's the opposite. It's a complete opposite of Mario. It's pretty, I mean, I do, what struck me about the movie, which I fucking love, by the way, you know, not to suck you off too much.

But it was, it was like, I was like, I left inspired. And it was like, it was like, I mean, anyone who has, who has, who has dedicated. I mean, anyone who has a podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Dreams big, which is sick. And everyone should dream big. Yeah.

That's why, like, that's why I love, that's why when you, like, when someone who dreams big and does it is like, reacts to the movie. Dude, it was like, I mean, that's, I'm trying to be objective because it's kind of like a movie designed for someone who's dedicated their life to their frivolous kind of dumb dream that they have a random talent for. What is podcasting, if not, uh, I mean. Table tennis is more. Oh,

as much, I respect it way more. Really? No. Me personally. Podcasting is the new, is new radio. I guess.

But you're talking to a guy who, no, no, no, but I'm with you. You know what I mean? No, no, I know exactly what you're talking about.

It's a dumb, it's a, like I was, I was like, I was like 18, my family comes here from Greece. I'm the first born who has all the,

like, I had, you know, I had good grades actually too. I went to school on scholarship and all I want to do was stand up. And it's like,

I mean, with his mom. I've had those with my dad the exact, like, the exact, so it was like, so. It was contention between you and your dad? For sure, for sure. About, just like, but like unspoken?

Just kind of like you guys just, and he's trying to manipulate you all the time? Yes. Well, he, yes, a guilt, guilt thing is huge. And there's a, I think I've talked about on the podcast, but there was a moment where I'm graduating college

and I graduated with like, fucking honors or whatever. And I get a call for my dad and it's like, it's like, he's just sighing. Yeah, and she's like, and I'm packing up my college apartment, right? We're about to leave. And he's like, I'm like, hello? He doesn't call me ever, right?

I'm like, hello? And he's like, your mom says you're doing comedy. And I was like, yeah. And I'm actually like kind of like, oh, is my dad asking about my like desires? And I was like, I was like, oh, yeah. And he's like, oh, so it's true. I was like, yeah. And then he's like, his size again hangs up.

Oh, man. What did he want you to be? Dude, I just had good... Anything but a comedian is... The irony is... Now he's psyched? I mean, yeah, now he is. But it's like, if he had just

kind of given me a little leash, everything turned out how... But he wanted me to be a lawyer, just that general shit. But I just mean like as... But the movie was so incredible. You think you would have been a good lawyer? I think I would have been okay at it.

I could imagine this guy coming into the courtroom. I think I would have been a kind of, some kind of crook. Like, that's the thing. No, I mean, or you could have been I really do. I just like, because of the like, I think I would have had resentment about not

being able to do what I wanted. Do you remember the scene in my cousin Vinny, the guy, the lawyer who the family gets for them who comes in with this, I think he's got the stutter. Yeah, yes, yes. The first family got. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not my cousin's great.

Incredible. Great movie, man. I love Mr. Tomey. Maybe the hottest person in the whole time on film. Like, it was. I love her. still so much to the day. She was at the Bighonia after party and I was like stammering.

She was at the after party? She was. I was like in the corner talking to, I mean, it's fine. It's like I get so, this whole thing is like, I don't, I don't ever get to like celebrate. Of course. It's just like, you know, it's over. Yeah, I didn't want to ask you about that too because I like. Let me tell me the Cuban thing for one second.

I wasn't just trying to plug Lenny Goh. But I remember my producer wrote this like two page email so proud. I'm like, these are the financial opportunities. We have Mello footage. We have LeBron footage. Stamar Cuban, he got his email. Yeah, Noah was involved, right? Jokim Noah?

Yeah, he was because he really knew the family that took Lenny in. And then getting Noah involved actually put the, I think, the full, from what I heard, that was like, why, because of his Cleveland comments. Why LeBron never really. LeBron would like, I know LeBron's seen the movie and he likes it. Can I be honest? I don't even know that it, I think it almost would be weird, not weird, it would be cool to have him, but I just be like. To LeBron?

No, no, no, no. We never wanted LeBron to produce. I don't mean, produce. I just mean, like, even him being more involved, I like it as a snapshot of like, those guys are peripheral, it's better. Yeah, having Foxy Brown's younger brother in the movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we sent this, he sent this email to Cuban.

Two days later, he gets email, no thank you. Just no thank you. And, but you know what? That's funnier than ignoring. Exactly. But it's actually, in a way, it's, I respect it more. 100%. Because he could have just ignored it.

100%. He read it. No, thank you. That's a gentleman's move. Exactly. So I didn't get to meet him at the, I didn't get to meet any of these amazing people. You didn't get to meet him? I didn't.

Yeah. I didn't meet anyway. I saw you. Yeah, we talked to you. We talked to Tyler for a while. Yeah. Like, you know, and my wife secretly had the, everyone had the flu that night. Oh, really?

Yeah. My wife had the flu. She's like, I don't feel so well. It's like, I said, I can get sick. I got the championship. It was like Marty. You got a lot of stuff. Yeah, yeah.

But, uh, no, I don't know. Yeah, but it was, it was whatever. But anyway, Mr. Wonderful, right? Well, yeah. The casting. The casting. It just also like, like, talking about the Lenny's thing. It's just like, this movie did to me feel like a lot, like a culmination of almost

every, all the prior work. Because it's like the themes. You hope each one is that way. You know what I mean? True. For sure. And definitely gems felt that way too. But this felt like, because the themes of like, the parents,

is so obvious and the fatherhood stuff. Well, there's no father in the movie. No father. I mean, that's glaring. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then is it him? And it's just like, I don't know, it was like a really, because to me, it almost starts like a fish out of water comedy.

It was so funny at first. I loved how people were laughing. Yeah, I got mad. You were at the New York one, right? Yeah, a lady told me to stop laughing. And I said, I said, I'm not the asshole lady. I was like, lady, we're in a movie. I got in a fight with a woman at the end.

And I'm like, fuck, I didn't know. You know, I didn't know anybody. That was my mom, no, I'm joking. Literally, I was like, watch this be his aunts. My mom, my mom. My aunt was there. I wonder if she... Dude, check.

Did she have a young son who was also a prick? No, no, no. I got to fight with a family because I was enjoying myself in a fucking movie. No, no, no, no. My mom laughed a lot at the movie. My mom's seen it four times. But it was like, it's hilarious. It's like Fish Out of Water Comedy.

Then it's like sort of like a desperation thriller, you know, classic in the middle. Like, what my people, might say classic sort of safty, you know, Uvra, whatever. And then an incredible sports movie, too. Like, I wanted, I wanted an extra fucking half hour in Japan. Yeah. I love hearing that because every time it gets there, I mean, we, there was a lot more, table tennis.

And there was a lot more points. It was hard, and it was, I believe that. Because everyone's like, you got to cut points. This is too many. We're not going to be able to get them all done. And me and Diego, who I choreogic, did all the choreography with, we went through all these points, thousands of hours of footage. and he's just an encyclopedia.

He was like, Josh, this is a lot of points for these guys to learn. And even Timmy was like, I'm like, this is each, we're not going to show 21 points in the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, from my point of music, I would have loved it all.

Yeah. It's the perfect amount. It is. It was, it was. Don't get me wrong. Yeah. You want more until you get it. And then you're like, I don't want it anymore.

Totally. I mean, that's the best movies, too. It's like you, it leaves you that sense of imagining the movie you didn't get. That's right. Yeah. Plus. the other thing that you guys do great is

every character could have their own movie every character is the star of a movie it's fucking crazy I mean like yeah even like every some more of the cat like yeah Mr. Wonderful I went in I'm like this movie looks incredible fuck Mr. Wonderful and then you see the movie you're like

duh of course they're using that to their advantage they're using your feelings about everyone if you're not a Mr. Wonderful fan you'll like the movie it's incredible in it he's so fucking good he was he was funny because sometimes he would be unbelievable and only three or four takes

and other times we're doing a lot of takes. Yeah. And Kevin is just, he's interesting. I mean, he's, uh, what I like about him is he knew like, wow, I'm getting this experience. Yeah. When I pitched him, I was scared. Totally. You know, it was like, I was on Shark Tank.

Yeah. It felt like that. What I have for you is you lose money to do my bullshit. And he did lose money. He would like fly himself and, but I'll tell you a little interesting snapshot of, of, of, Yeah, please. We were in Japan, and he was staying in the same hotel, and he walked around with his camera.

He's an artist. Like, he shreds the guitar. No. Yeah, he edits all this own. Wonderful fucking shreds. Yeah, yeah. He was on, he went on a show and he's shredding in it. You got to watch that.

I got to watch that. And he, uh, he shreds on it. He's, he, uh, he edits his own material. Wow. He has camera setups. He understands. He buys cameras based off research. So he had a like a camera.

Like his, like his, like, like his, like, him on CNN. You know what I mean? I have to like send like he's his own DP when he's his own producer, everything. Yeah. That's fascinating. Like every time you see him on TV,

he's most likely in his like living room with underwear underneath. You know? And he, and so we're in Japan and he has this camera and he's walking around taking pictures and he's on set and he's such a curious person.

You don't get to where you are if you're not curious. And he's this interesting person and he's taking pictures of everything and then I go, we were like, oh, let's go up to like, the hotel we had was like on the top floor that was a bar and you're on top

of Tokyo and stuff and we walk out elevator opens and I see at the bar laptop three external hard drives a bottle of wine two cameras plugged in a notepad and he's sitting there and it's his office there's other people at the bar like mingling

having on dates and stuff like that and he's just taking it over editing photos that's from earlier that day and I saw that and I was just like this guy is who he is You know what I mean? And that was who I wanted to make in the movie directing it was all about just kind of getting him to that place. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then every once in a while getting deep with like something,

I'm me sharing something with him that he can relate to on a deep level and then watching him express that, acting, whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And at times. And he does bring it a handful of times. He really does. And that's seen the spanking scene when he's probably at his most cynical and sadistic and scary. Totally.

And he's with that, you know, that kind of gaggle. The goon squad of pieces of shit. The guys who have ruined America. Yes. The guys who's fucking, whose offspring are the reason our world is bad. Exactly. The guys who started it all. You know what I mean?

The guys who started it all. Absolutely. The guys who are laughing at this poor woman, this is a poor man's wife. It doesn't matter to you. It's the fucking worst moment. And elders, let's go back. We're very spoiler. We don't want.

We want people to see it. But that was so, just shows you how evil they are. Okay, look, it's one thing for them not to care about the underclass, right? Who cares about some fucking ping pong kid? It's their, it's his wife. And they're like, oh, it's the worst moment of my wife's life. No, they're laughing. They're laughing.

They're cracking jokes. Because to them, even their wives are just like status symbols. I mean, to them, it's like a retired actress is like, oh, I'll trade her in or whatever. It's like, you know, all those pieces of shit in tux. It's not a... It shows that... And you know what's funny, while we were shooting that scene, one of the guys who has a radio show, I don't remember the name of his radio show, but he's sitting there taking pictures of Timmy during the scene.

and Timmy goes and someone comes up to me and they're like, someone on this set's taking pictures and posting it, posting it, posting it, posting it, posting. And like, Timmy's like, someone's doing that. And then Timmy looks and he's like, dude, why you're not in the, you're a scene in the, your actor in the movie.

Like, what are you doing, man? That's the flips out of your casting. You know, a lot of guys like, oh, I'm in a fucking movie. I'm going to sell this, dude. This is going to be a good picture. And I looked at him, I went to him, and I'll be like, I'll be like,

what the fuck's your problem, man? And he's like, what? I was like, first of foremost, get in the scene. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'll say, and I'll say, me, give me your phone. Yeah. I was like, give it to me right now. And now I got Mitchell's keys and wine.

But, and then I just confiscate the phone. But like, the thing is, these guys, they bring, that guy brought so much. But there's a, there's a moment in that where, where, uh, where Kevin, he says, the line that we, you know, I mean, Ronnie, like, really proud of. He's like, you have no power here. And I kept telling him, I was like, that. That's got to come from like all of your resentments from everyone who's ever told you no and everybody you want to dominate. Yeah, yeah.

And he goes, you have no power here and he accessed something in his throat. Yeah. And then when we were in the mix, I told the, I told the sound designer, I was like, take that line and let's go 6 dB on the mids. Drop that shit. Oh, I put the mids, bump the mid. So when you watch, next time you watch the meaning, you'll feel it. Yeah. It's fucking Piacon.

It's like Liam Neeson almost. Yeah. Yeah. No power here. Dude, he's sinister in that. And that's such an incredible scene of like... I let him spank the shit out of me first, though. Oh, really?

That's a good director, man. I was like, you gotta show me how it's got to look hard. Yeah. You know, and I was like, you can do it with the real paddle for me. Yeah, because you were into as a director. Yeah, I made Gwen to spank me. Ratso spanked me. Rato is a good spank.

Rato is a good spank. Fuck, dude. There's so much talking about. We got to get to some calls, though. But I have so many. One last thing about a casting. thing is like the kid who plays Dion is so good. Oh man, Luke is so good.

Luke is best. Did you find him off the side talk video where he talks about never having seen his dad's dick? He goes like this. He goes, Trey Young looks like my dad's dick and everyone's like this and he goes Not that I know what my dad's dick looks like but I know, but it's weird anyway.

He probably looks like that. Yeah. Incredible. Yeah, I saw that and I was like immediately I was like, went into the comments. I was like, who the fuck is this guy? And I saw the handle Patrick Ewing. And I was like, like, I love this person. So I went in the next day to Ronnie, we were writing and I was like, he's perfect.

I was like, I didn't want to cast him in anything just yet because there was a character whose name kept moving around and ended up being Dion which is a great name. But we were thinking of we were just messing around and I showed him the video and I was like, imagine being

this guy's dad. Right? But imagine he's like super powerful. It's a powerful guy. The video goes that much deeper. And I was like, because he said, because he's like my dad's dick. And he's scared of his dad. He's scared of how he's being perceived. And I said, so imagine that dad hates sports too.

So imagine that. So now he's seeing his son in a viral video talking about his dick in a thing that he doesn't even like, he doesn't even support. Right. And he's clearly wasted. So there's so much disapproval. And then I'll imagine being this guy knowing that his dad watched the video the next day. And that whole thing, I was like, oh, it's the character. And now it's ping pong.

Now it's ping pong in the 50s. It's not even basketball. That's so good, dude. Yeah. I love that. He's great and he's amazing. I'm trying to like, he should be doing a lot more. He was amazing.

You see him on bar stool? I haven't seen him on it. So good, man. No, I love them. He was really good. He was really good too. He's really good, too. He's really good.

Yeah, yeah. Take some calls? Let's take some damn calls. And go see the movie, by the way, folks. It's so fucking good. So now this part's live. No, this is, they're pre-recorded. Don't worry.

Oh, the calls are pre-recorded? Oh, I don't know that. Yeah, yeah. Hey, Davy, all this esteemed guest. A long time, first time. And it's funny because I ever thought I'd actually be calling in with any problems. Well, here you are, brother. But I found out tonight my girlfriend has been keeping for me that she is bipolar.

And it's really throwing me off. We've been dating for Why? Like seven months And It does seem like something Her friend kind of got mad about me mentioning something about bipolar people

And I thought it was What were you saying about bipolar people? He's trashing the mentally ill She kind of was like Yeah, it's none of your business And I don't know Didn't really come out and tell me But that's the sense I'm getting

is that she's bipolar. And I don't She said that? We should just mad that you trashed bipolar people. Is that it? Well, first of all, shout out bipolar people. Yeah, that is true. You get some great stuff.

Dude, man. Yeah. The mentally ill in general, great artists, unfortunately. Unfortunately. It is, it does work. And get it under control, by the way. We're not saying go undiagnosed. We're not saying get off your meds.

Don't go Kanye mode. No, no. Remember Kanye on his meds, how good that was? That's what we want. But, but yeah. For a while, I was like, I don't, I, for meds, for a while, I was like, oh, you should need to be who you are. And then I embraced it. I was like, you know, you need the meds.

Totally. Yeah. Everybody goes to that, right? Everyone wants to convince themselves. Well, what, what's, what's your deal, bro? I don't know. Why are you hating on your girls? I think he's just upset.

I think you're upset that your girlfriend hid this from you. But first of all, does it say, did he, did you, how long have you guys been together? He said seven months, right? Seven months? That's not long enough to be like, you don't meet something. just so you know I'm bipolar. Don't take that, don't take that personally. I could see that being...

It's a stigma sometimes. It's still got a stigma on it in this world. When you started dating, I could see like... It sounds like an STD. Totally. It doesn't really affect you. And it's like, does she have it under control? Does she need to talk to you about it?

Have we also... Also seven months is the time to tell them. We're right around that show. Yeah. That's what I was to say. I would say, I would say six months is a good marker. And then it's like, all right, she's a little late on it potentially. But also...

That's right. Also, this guy... The vibe I'm also getting is that he just didn't like being scolded by her friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So now he's like, her friend embarrassed me. Yeah. So now I'm going to pretend I'm fucking mad you hid being bipolar from it. That's right.

He had a chip. He definitely, that's kind of because, and also it's like, what were you saying about bipolar people? Yeah, I know. Exactly. It's really funny that your girlfriend has a secret medical condition. You're like, fucking pieces of shit. I wouldn't be found dead with anybody like that. And it's like, yeah, they'd be mad.

Maybe that's why. He's hiding it. She sensed that you were an insensitive bird. You're like, come on, honey. We're going to go egg the fucking mental ward. What do you say? We're going to go pretend we're paralysis, sleep paralysis demons. Let's paint our faces and go to the fucking mental health clinic.

So yeah, dude, I don't know. We don't have enough information, really. But also, how about just handle like an adult, talk to her about it, see why she didn't tell you. That's right. And also maybe be the kind of person that's people want to tell you stuff. And let her know that it shouldn't be a stigma, that it's totally normal and lots of people have different mental illnesses

and she should just own it and be a little bit more proud and that way, not proud. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you mean, though. Like, yeah, as long as she's got her shit under control, you can say, hey, now I get maybe if you're the kind of person who thinks you are a supportive partner that wants to be there for your partner and they were hiding something that's hard for them to deal with,

you could say, hey, I want you, I want to be, to help you with stuff, I'm here for you. We should be a support system. I don't want you to feel like you have to hide something because maybe other people in your life looked at this as a stigma. I don't see it as a stigma.

I want you to be open with me about stuff that's hard. Don't feel like I'm the kind of person you need to hide stuff from. That's right. You have an opportunity to have that conversation. That's a deep conversation. Totally. You can get close really quickly.

And I do think like this, they're like different. Use it as an opportunity to take the relationship to the next level. Yeah. It's definitely one of those moments where it's like, are we getting closer or is it not going to work? Yeah, I mean, it sounds like by his question, he's like, his whole vibe, he's like, I'm out.

Yeah, he's fucking, ooh, woo, so what, I got to buy a fucking straight jacket now in case she freaks out? You got it. I can't afford to pat on my walls. Anyway, think about it, bro. Think about how you want to behave, bro. What else you got little eldest? Hello, Stav.

Eldis, and esteemed guest. I'm calling because I'm looking for some advice on a bit of a situation. It's not near as dramatic as some of your other ones, so I'll get right into it. I've been with my partner for 16 years. She's an awesome woman, best friends. You know, we hang out all the time, love spending time with her. An issue kind of cropped up about four or five years ago. Again, we've been together 16 years now.

And four or five years ago, we got accidentally pregnant. Oh, okay. Now, originally, we both really didn't want kids. And after that pregnancy, which we did abort, my thoughts around us have changed. And so now the last four years, we've had conversations about like, hey, do we want kids? And I have changed over. I'm on the side of like, I think I would like some rugg grass running around. Damn.

But she... Does he say how old he is? Has... He doesn't, but he says 16 years. He sounds youthful. He's got to be... Mid-30s probably. Yeah.

They started in their twerries. Yeah. Or even, like, earliest we're talking, maybe they were like high school. Yeah. Sometimes it takes things like that to know what you want. True. That is true. He's got a little more here, yeah.

Oh, a little more. When we stayed on the I don't want kids. Oh, wait, wait, wait. And so now, away I've been kind of... He doesn't want the kids? Oh. Dealing with it is I'd rather have her than some unknown child, you know, some...

Duh. Of course. I don't know their personality. I don't know who they are. No shit. However, I can't shake these feelings. Okay. We're making a little bit of a mistake.

Now we're entering our mid to late 30s. There we go. So time is kind of running out if we do decide to... Like, there's no decide. She's decided. Like, you change your mind. It doesn't. How do I get over the sense that part of me feels like that's a bit of a mistake, not having children.

Okay. And the other part of me is very firm on, well, I want her in my life at all. Well, it's really funny that he's like, not a big deal like some of your other calls. It's just like an existential crisis that might ruin your relationship. I mean, my thought is like, does she want to have kids at all? That's the question. To me, yeah. If she doesn't want kids at all, then yeah, and you want kids, that's a huge.

Totally. That's a decision you got to make. I mean, is the relationship, you know, are you getting everything you want from life out of the relationship? Then you don't, maybe you don't need kids, but. Yeah. I mean, look, the way I read this situation is like, he's got. really no case whatsoever. It's like you've talked about it.

You've been together forever. Going into being together, you're like, we never want kids. You had an accidental pregnancy. You decided you don't want, you mean, if there was ever a moment to be, we've been together for a decade plus, we got pregnant. Now we're really going to think about what you were,

you did think about it. She did have a moment to really search her feelings and you can't get any more clear than how she feels. And so I think what you can do is talk to her about it And be like, this is how I feel But if she's like, no, I mean, that's Well, we have to assume that he has talked to her about it I don't know, you're talking about my callers,

They're all cowards You know, they'd rather talk to me before their wife I mean, this is a crossroads in his life It is, I mean, but you all, I think he also has to be Crossroads happen, it's real totally And he has to be honest with himself because he says he doesn't, he says if he, if,

to us, he says if I had the choice, I definitely want my partner. But is that, you have to decide is that true? Because that's basically the year old, that's basically what you're talking about now. She does not, to me,

it seems clear she doesn't want kids. And it would be a huge. Is it, but is it maybe she just doesn't want them right now? I guess, but I don't know. Yeah, look. You got to have, it really boils down to you got to have the conversation.

You have to, you have to be honest with yourself. Is it actually what you want? I mean, I get that too. People, it's okay to change your mind. And also, people have been together since they were that young. That's right. That happens a lot. People grow apart.

Yeah, this sounds like a high school sweetheart situation. I mean, if you talk about mid and they're talking 16, they were 17, 18. Yeah. You may be 20 at the latest. So, you know, I don't know, dude. I would say you just got to have the conversation, but it's not looking good for kids

if I had to pick. She does not seem like she wants kids. And I kind of get, I mean, dude, I spent one weekend with my nephew, who loved this, by the way. I bought him expensive toys and he was playing with this popcorn thing.

He was just banging on the floor. It's always the package you want. Yeah, yeah, totally. Some little French imported car from Soho. I mean, look, I love my kids. Yeah. I love my kids. I mean, three and a half and six months.

Did you always want to have kids or did it just kind of happen? Ever since I was a kid, I wanted a kid. Oh, really? Wow. It's wanted a little buddy. Interesting. Yeah. Damn.

But you knew, right? So this guy's like, but also I feel like changes happen, right? Where it's like, like I kind of, I've always been like, I don't really know. I guess on some level you want kids because you feel like you should. Yeah. And then I said. Yeah, that's a big thing. You feel like you should.

And I spent a weekend with my nephew and I'm like, yeah. It definitely changes your life. It's annoying. It changes your life. It's a lot. You know what I mean? it's a life changer. If they,

for, you know, for good, but your life changes. Totally. If you're not into change, then you don't do that. Totally.

And I get it. But it is crazy. It's like your whole life depends on like a little, some little fat piece of shit snap schedule. Like if some little lump gets 20 minutes less sleep, one random afternoon, two months of your life were ruined. It's crazy.

It's simpler than that. It's like, the crazy thing about having kids is that you're just, time just totally changes. Right. You're like, first of the moment's you're seeing it change. It's manifested physically in front of you. And also just like a day can feel like forever and a year feels like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Time is the enemy. Yeah. You don't like time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not in this house. No, no, no, I agree. It's not the house of time.

I like more time would be nice. Yeah. That's what Kevin always says. He goes, I don't need more money. I need more time. Right. I was like, oh, wow, that's pretty deep. Yeah.

There's no way to get that. For him to hear someone who's like super rich. Yeah, he's like, but you can tell he's thinking about it. about it. Oh, yeah. How can I buy that? Yo. That'll happen, though. Totally.

Within the next 100 years, they'll be like, not immortality, but like life extension by like 50, 60 years. They are going to be stressed. Maybe more. That's scary, though.

You don't want like 200-year-old people walking around. No, first of all, they'll figure out to put their brains in a poor person's young body. That's what they'll do. I mean, Kevin O'Leer

will be in some jacked, broke, 20-year-old's body in 15 years, I promise you that. The second they have that technology, they're going to do it. They're not extending. shitty bodies.

Yeah, but isn't the body a part of the brain? They're going to find out. Someone said, it's like, would you rather if you could, if you cut off your arm, you say I'm with my arm. If you cut off your legs, you're saying, I am with my legs.

If you cut off your head, what are you saying? Yeah, yeah. Like, and you're holding it? Are you, though? Yeah. I am with my head. I feel like I think I'm just saying, I'm with my head. Because this is the eye

The brain I feel like it's just To me it's all brain So then you're just I I am Yeah I think so I think there's definitely So you're saying

I see you're saying Philosophically I think there is a The close thing to a soul Is really our brain Our central nervous system The consciousness Consciousness Consciousness

And what we use to have consciousness Is brain and central nervous system So I think You put that brain Into a different body Or a robot or whatever the fuck bullshit they're gonna come up with So here's a question

Yeah. All right, so, and we'll get back to the calls. Of course. I like this topic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So if, all right, so you die, right? The heart stops moving. The blood is still pumping.

You're conscious. You're still conscious. Oh, you're alive. And are you aware that you're dying? I don't think you're dead until the brain does. Okay. Now, is it possible that it never turns off? It is, yeah.

I guess so. We don't know, right? Because, okay, so I, once, no one knows what consciousness is. Totally. My theory. Consciousness is a holographic image. Okay. Holographic image.

Okay. That is all of our senses are coming in, touch, hearing, sight, sound, smell. And all of it's coming in from all these different perspectives, and it's creating this holographic image. And inside that holographic image is consciousness. You think it's a physical thing? it's a physical. I think it's maybe. I think everything is physical you can touch at some level. Like atoms and shit like that. Something has to be. Or it's not. Or it's the only thing in life that exists outside of that, which would be fucking crazy. I kind of think that. Or is it an illusion? Or is it

just some sort of like magic trick that like it is all these senses together and you're feeling them and you don't know what to do. But I do think it's a holograph. So it's like you can't grab it. You know what I mean? Oh, I see what you mean by that. I think I and maybe it's just because I'm dumb and don't want to think about it. I'm dumb too, so we're too dumb guys talking about this. Now, this is podcasting. Remember what I said, I respect table tennis more? Two morons being like,

I think it's actually magic, which is what I was basically about to say. Which is like, where I'm like, I think it is magic. I think like we have it in a way that's like, I think it's just like an unexplainable, like, way to perceive things that we have on a higher level than like a plant. Like I don't believe like a plant has consciousness. Not really.

No, no, no. Some people are like, oh, everyone, I do, this is when my thinking gets quasi-missed or quasi-reli- if you want to say religious, quasi-whatever, where I'm like, I think after, but at the same time, it is rooted in just like, I think brain power. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where it's like, I do think it's just a physical, we have the stuff, the kind of brains, to be able to think in a more complex way, and it's as simple as that.

And I would be really fascinated if it goes on forever or just changed in a different way. I don't really necessarily think that. Yeah, because the gasoline runs out. I think once the motor turns off. But I do think that we are probably alive consciously for a couple minutes after we're dead. Probably.

Which is probably the longest time ever. Totally. So then you're living forever. That's what they say DMT feels like. Yeah, I'm not doing that, though. I'm thinking about it. I have a friend who's done that. She's one of the.

producers in a movie, the Japanese, she's into exploring how far you can go. I'm kind of interested in that. I can't do anything. I got to get more mentally strong, but I want to get back because I've had some tough mushrooms once. That was worse. I don't need to do that ever again. I bet some good ones. I have some real bad ones on mushrooms.

All I need is one quarter, one second of a bad one for me not to do anything. Yeah, yeah. But I do think that like if time disappears and you're dead and you're like, holy shit, I'm dead right now. Oh, consciousness outside of time is interesting. Now we're talking about physics and shit like that. Yeah, now we're getting way too far away from my mind.

But that's cool to think about. But it's, look, what's nice about being dumb. Yep. Is we don't know a lot of good stuff. And if you don't know a lot, you can question everything. Totally. You know what I mean? You can imagine how cool versions of things when the reality is so much sadder.

My mother-in-law, she's a genius, right? Yeah, yeah. Oh, tough life to be that smart. And then she's, and she's like studies consciousness. And, like, a dedicated a life to try and understand what it is. I'm going to send her if this means it. Yeah, we'll send her the clip. And she's going to be like you, she's going to be like, get a divorce now.

Now. She's like, okay, before you do anything, make sure the kids are away from him. Send the kids here first. Unfortunately, the DNA has already passed through. Yeah, true, true. It's already legal. Next caller. Yeah, hit us with the next one, LD.

How you doing, stop? How you doing, Elvis? Long story sure, my girlfriend wants me in a breast reduction. Oh. Wait, what happened? Sorry. Once to get a breast reduction. Okay.

All right, let him finish. And whatever with doctors and it's just to get below a certain rate. By the way, pause this. The difference in like a guy who's like he doesn't want to have kids or he's like trying to wrestle with whether he wants kids or not, will it affect his relationship?

He sounds happier. than this guy who's only problem. He's at his girlfriend. Like, this guy sounds like he just got the worst news of all time. And the other guy still is a little chipper, even though he's facing a much bigger problem. Go ahead, Elders. Consultation, whatever, with doctors.

And they said she has to get below a certain rate. It's a medical thing. Before we met, we treat a lot more. You know, we've found him working out more, trying to be healthy. We both try to lose that relationship weight. And she's getting towards now that weight, you know, where she can get her breast reduction or whatever. Insurance will cover it.

Wow. She's not really asking for advice. I know that probably the long term will be good for her, but is there any way I can maybe sabotage her, you know, maybe a way to make sure she doesn't get to that? He's calling the insurance company. He's like she's on drugs. You don't want her to have this. It's going to go bad. you guys are going to be on the hook for this.

I think it's, you know, a little bit ridiculous, but she'd probably forget the breast reduction right at whatever weight, but however insurance works, you know, I'll work with them. I'll work with anything I really can do to slowly make her put on weight without her noticing. You know, I'm using the one who likes to put them out. This guy's really funny. I try to eat, you know, healthy and try to cook for both of us. Sneaking in.

I know eventually. She'll just get her breast reduction, but just maybe to prolong it a little bit. If there's anything I can do. This is funny because he has chose, like, he's like, I would rather have my girlfriend way more, but have big teeth. Like, he has a funny, there's a funny type of body positivity here. Yes, for sure. Where he's like, can I keep my girlfriend chubbier so that her tits stay huge? And he's made his choice.

He's decided what's important to him. Unfortunately, man, you're just going to have to go with her desires about her own body I hate to break it down to stop with a booze Unfortunately, she's a human being with autonomy And short of, yes, sabotaging her Sneaking like sugar into her food or whatever Being like, I baked a locale cheesecake But it's full of butter and fucking honey

If he did that, she would become more eligible for the... No, you got... Apparently you got to lose weight to... You have to be under a threshold... To get the reduction? I guess because it's like a medical... But I thought that you would... I thought that there was a...

But I thought medically... I don't know how the shit works. Yeah, again, back to the consciousness. We have no idea what we're talking about? I think it's kind of like... Have you ever seen my 600-pound life where there's... Sometimes they're too fat for the surgery?

Yeah, for sure. I think what they're saying is like... Oh, I see. You have to lose weight to sort of be a better candidate for surgery in general. But yeah, no man Support your girlfriend's goals You start exactly You start pushing up back against that

You might you may Potentially could win In the four in the near time You'll lose That's a little you'll lose You got to people need to be happy Yeah man Sorry pal

How dejected his voice Was it so funny Because he's kind of doing a bit But in the really he's What else we got, LD? Hey, Davy. So I'm going to get right to it. I'm a dog walker, and I keep running into this issue where I've got a door guy that keeps harassing me.

The first thing he said was, like, I just made an off comment saying, like, my feet hurt. It was my last walk. And he was just like, oh, I really wish I could massage them. Ooh, immediately. And then he... Straight to massage to a stranger? That's fucking insane That's crazy when you're a dormant

Because you're just the same spot Every single day And you're like in a little suit And he's seeing this person multiple times today maybe Damn And then he like asked me about Like my Halloween costume On another day

And he asked me if it was like sexy And he could see pictures As for pictures And today he like physically like grazed my arms. Oh, no. We let my boss know. This is over.

We report this guy. I tried to talk to the residents. But it doesn't really seem like there's really much he can do. I'm getting to the point where I'm about to get like really confrontational and just be like, don't fucking touch me. Yeah. But I'm also going to have to deal with him on a daily basis. So I'm just kind of a pussy and non-convertational.

Well, you shouldn't be assaulted. That's basically it. Yeah. Someone's touching you You should defend yourself Yeah I mean this is this I get what she means though Because yes of course This person deserves to

You know you can get in his face Report him whatever But also She's talking about the reality of the situation Which is like who knows how long that's gonna take These residents aren't really supportive This guy who this guy's the kind of guy Who asked to massage your feet

Like he's clearly a fucking loose cannon In some ways So I guess the number one thought is like Do you need that job? Yeah. You're a dog walker, you know, one nice part of that job is flexibility, right? Like you're not, you're not like, you know, obviously, doorman building, if you have a lot of clients in one place, that's nice.

But like how. Yeah, that's right. You know. But also I think she said she talked to the residents or what, Ellis? Yeah, she said. Yeah, she tried talking to them, but they basically said like there's nothing they can do really. Okay, so they're a piece of shit. Yeah.

Because if somebody... Something they could do. They could go to the person. like, hey, respect this person. Yeah. Don't be a scum bag. Totally. If someone, elders, if you're like,

every time I come in, your doorman grabs my nuts, I would say something to the dorm. I would be like, bro, what's going on here? You know what I mean? Like if my guests are being harassed by my dormant. So first of all, that actually maybe puts us in the direction of, do you need this job? Because these people are pieces of shit.

If the residents won't say anything, that's bizarre. Because they should be. horrified by this behavior. The 100%. It's crazy. Are they saying, I guess we can't talk back to this person. I want to know the logic behind that. Yeah.

And like she's saying like, okay, I get if you're not a confrontational person. Because yes, I think before you just abandon making this money or whatever, you could just be like, you maybe should get conferences. Be like, don't fucking touch me. You know, you could also have fucking pepper spray, whatever the fuck of this guy. She could bring a friend. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. But it's just so annoying because it's like it's making her job.

It's just her job. But she could bring a conference. She could bring a conversational friend, could be a partner or whatever. Yeah. And who can step to him. Totally. And it sucks, by the way that you have to do this. I heard you touched her.

Yeah. Do it again. You're going to have a problem. Yeah, that would be cool. You know? Yeah. That's a very specific. Fuck this guy up.

You ever, you got to wait for him. How about turn the tables on him? Follow him home. Yeah. Get a baton. Hit him in the kneecaps. That's not real advice. Don't do any crimes.

Don't do any crimes. The obvious world does not tell you to do crimes. But look, this sucks because the residents should have handled this, right? That's number one. That's completely on them. Think of it in any other way. If you're doing a, if you're walking their dog

and there's other like, you know, you got fucking electrocuted. You know, they have loose wires in their apartment. You got electrocuted. That's on them. Like, these are hazards that they're putting you through as essentially your employers. So you, if they're not dealing with it, you might need to drop them. I know that's easier said than done if they're like good clients.

But other than that, I think you can get some, you can get confrontational. You can try that before you just abandon the whole thing. But unfortunately, no one here has your back. That sucks dick because. And then other than that, you can, yeah, bring someone to. intimidate or even like if you have to, you know, they don't want to say anything. Is there a management company of this building that you can say, hey, I'm a dog walker here, this guy, you know, and you can even say the guy, I don't, please stop making these comments

to me. Don't touch me ever again. This is completely inappropriate. If you do it again, I'm going to report you. And if you do it after that, I'm going to go to the police. Yeah. And that, it might, he might just need that. Again, you shouldn't have to do that. That's tough for her if she feels unsafe. Totally. Totally. And, but you're right. At the Plano Fitness in Queens, there were guys that would just take showers in jeans. Oh, yeah. Oh, in jeans, bro.

I don't know what was going on, but I caught that. That was having multiple times. I was like, you know what? These guys need this. I'm just here to get a pump at a reasonable price. I will never use the showers. I'm not going to wait. Planet Fitness had really good, they had really good, what's the word, visibility during the New Year's Day.

Do you notice? Yes. They like, they like sponsored the entire event. No. I did Caroline. one time the New Year's just because it was like a way to get to Times Square without having to do anything because you know you want to do it once right you did it I did it I did it it was I want to do it once it was uh it was fun but I mean it was just like you know whatever just kind of crowded the shows were horrible New Year shows are always the worst people think they want to go to a comedy show they don't they just want to get drunk

but but they give you a little plan of fitness top hat planet fitness is everywhere you know the business model's working oh yeah it's a good play it's a good hit the elliptical never been a part of a gym Never. No. No. I'm not shocked. I'm not floored by that revelation. There's a, there's a, D.D. Ramon wrote a book called lobotomy,

and there's a section where he tries to, like, get in shape or, like, bodybuild. It's funny. Yeah. It's not. You don't want to see a guy like that at the gym. No, no. You don't see a guy like me at the gym. No, no.

No, again, two extremes. Fat guys do get a little credit because people, sometimes fat guys can delude themselves and think they're strong just because they're fat. And there are power lifts that are fat or fat are fat. So it's like you get a little, actually, I do think this is something that skinny guys don't get credit for. It is easier to be a fat guy in the gym than a skinny guy in the gym. That's right. I feel like in the gym, the skinny guy is actually the lowest person on the total. Yeah, exactly.

You're weak. There's some respect to the fat guy. Yeah, yeah. Weekly. Totally. Yeah, there was, you're like, oh shit, good for you, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or maybe he's Jack.

Maybe he's strong as fuck. Maybe you can fucking, you know, fat guys love doing like, oh, you're talking about the weight section. talking about all of it, all of it, though. But there's a way. Yeah, I feel like you remember in Seinfeld, the father and son who always think they can outlift Jerry? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And they always throw their back out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I am the old dad. Well, that's me. I literally have a fucking heating pads because I tried a deadlift that I was not prepared for. It was nothing crazy. It was just a cable deadlift that I wasn't familiar with how it. How many weights, though? What are you talking about? It's like a hundred pounds or something?

That's nothing. Nothing. But it was like, first of all, you've never even fucking been to a gym. So what the fuck are you talking about? It's nothing. I'm looking at you. I'm assuming you're strong. I'm assuming you're strong.

We both fell into that trap. But we just, I'm assuming you're strong. I'm fat as shit. You don't even know what the fuck you're talking about. I can lift the bar. Yeah, I could do the bar. I got, I was overzealous. I wanted to get in the zone, but I'll be back there.

I'll be back there. I am, my plan is to like, I have a goal to get, I want to. I want to be like 240, which is still chubby guy, which is the right amount of visor. There's a kind of fat in like your heart you got to get rid of. I get under that. I'm so bad with weight.

I don't even know what 240 looks like. It would look like 50 pounds less than what I am now. I don't know if you're talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, it's just like a chubby guy, basically, nothing crazy. And then I, like we said, I got to get those bouncer arms. The python. After that, I'm going to go pythons.

I'm going to do whatever fucking, not steroids, but something, you know what I mean? Something to juice it up, you know, just to get the arms going nice. We'll get there. Bald pony, jacked arms, dude. You won't be able to tell me shit. I might dye my hair blonde.

It's so sick. It kind of reminds me of the record exec in Wayne's World. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm talking about? I do, I do, I do. The bald pony, I'm trying to single-handedly bring back. That's so sick. I'm trying to keep it, I had to cut it for begonia

or else it'd be like, dude, middle-like back. You would do a pony? That's the goal. I got to get to bald pony. We're really close. I got a small one, but I needed a little more, you know,

I need a little more hang time on that time. I like the down, like it down. Down's not bad either, yeah. No, I'm loving this. Thank God. The pandemic was the only reason

I grew my hair out and I think we could all say it was worth it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love it. A couple more and then

I don't want to keep you forever. This is fun as shit, though. What time is? 245. You got to go? Okay, we can wrap it up. I got it.

I got it. Oh, fuck. All right. Well, that's the podcast. Let's do one more. One more. One more phone one big probably. I probably shouldn't even do one more.

No, no, dude, let's not do it. You got to go. You already have to go. I didn't even realize. We did that long time. Yeah, we were just fucking around. We were just fucking around. This was so fun. Go watch Marty.
