Read all about it. Sunday Papers, Extra edition. We haven't taken a break in a while. we're here we're queer wild someone the other day goes yeah and what is your friend had what does he scream at the top of the podcast i don't know if i have successfully blocked it out i couldn't remember you yell read all about it how about that wow that's like i should go get
Starting point is 00:01:20 checked out i think well you and i were just talking about a woman that we both know very well you've hired her on a show. I have worked with her many, many, many times. And I had to Google her to remember her name because neither of us could remember it. Oh, man. It's like, it's debilitar. I'm 59. I can't imagine what this is going to be like in another 10 years. I think we're more ready for it than the regular bear. In other words, I think we've been, I mean, my name recall has been the worst thing ever my whole life. Yes. So I think I'm ready for it. By the way, okay, so let's say it gets worse.
Starting point is 00:02:04 So in all the cases that I can't remember anything, technically I don't think that can get worse. I can't remember a name so I can't remember it worse. Yeah. So those will be the same. It'll just be more of them, I guess. I was in the green room at the comedy store talking to two comedians. Who shall go nameless for a few reasons. It's the, Ali Wong was one of them.
Starting point is 00:02:33 And we were talking about directing specials. And I said, oh, I directed two specials for this comic. And they said, what's his name? And I literally blanked on his name. And they both stared at me and they stared at each other. And Ali goes, that's really weird. Yeah. And his name is Zane Lamprey.
Starting point is 00:02:56 It's a weird fucking name to remember. Right. But he's really good comic. We spent weeks together. I forgot his fucking name. I mean, there might be listeners who know little hacks and cheat codes to do this. But yeah, a lot of times your story just resonated with me because a lot of times it's when there's pressure on. And then I think that's a very big part of the ADD.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And you can't stay focused on the image. of their face or what letters come to mind when you're trying to recall someone's name. And a lot of what I think about in those instances is not being able to think about it. Right. And fear, really. And you have to make associations like, Zane sounds like insane. So I have to think about him being a crazy person. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:53 And then it'll come to me. Yeah. So, anyway. So I am recovering from knee surgery that I got on Monday. Oh, yeah. I had, it's no big deal. It was like a- Quick recovery so far. Yes, it was a meniscus tear.
Starting point is 00:04:10 And so you're up the next day. They want you on the exercise bike for 10 minutes. I've been doing the exercise bike every day. I've been doing my leg lifts. They gave me opioids to take, which I took on the first day. and I don't know if you remember this, but I had a kind of a little addictive six months with them after my shoulder surgery, like 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I don't remember it that much, but you were the best version of yourself. Is that what you're referring to? Yes, it helps a lot. You might not remember me talking about it, but you might remember me slipping off into your bathroom during a dinner party at your house for an extended period of time
Starting point is 00:04:51 and some noise and some noise going on in your medicine. cabinet. Okay. And so it was bad. It was really bad. I was taking like three or four a day. I did not need them for the pain anymore. And coming off of it was probably the darkest two days of my entire life. It was brutal. And so they gave me these opioids and I said to myself, don't take these. But the pain was really bad. So I took it for one day. And of course, immediately, I'm supposed to take two. I took like five and so I woke up the next day in a deep depression and I and it's taken me like two or three days of depression to come out of it again. I just realized I can't take
Starting point is 00:05:37 this shit. Oh wait a minute. So you mentioned this right before we pressed record. I thought you were saying or maybe you're adding to it but that it was the surgery and being under and that that's what you've been sent you downward yes i think it's a combination of when you well because first of all when they put me under they used propofal which is fine there's no hangover from propofal i would even argue you feel better when you come out of it but then they put me on some heavy narcotic while i was under and that that set me off so uh yeah i got to stick to mushrooms and a very occasional edible marijuana that's it that's that's my drug intake that i can handle Wow, all right.
Starting point is 00:06:23 And no booze. So you're giving the extra pills to our friend? Yep. All right. I like it. Everybody's got a friend that's that as soon as you get surgery, they call you and they're not checking in on you. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:41 That's funny. Dinner this week was fun and you were two days out of surgery when we had dinner? Yep. picked you up and had the seat all back for you and you walk out with a cane took me by surprise yeah um and i appreciated you driving until i remembered the way you drive to places which is utter insanity and it's so indicative of your personality no all you had to do is take venice Boulevard to Fairfax, and you had to go left here, right here. At one point, you went over a curb to get onto the 10.
Starting point is 00:07:26 You told me to. No, you said, should I? And I said, yeah, if it's your car, fucking do it. And another point, you drove into a road that said, do not enter. That's a bullshit rich street that they've tried to stop the traffic, and they say it's a dead end, and it's not. We made no less than 35 turns. It should have been three.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I changed it for you because I know you're such a pussy with that. And we took Venice almost all the way. And then I checked with you and I said, all right, it says we can go on. You're like, go on the 10. That would be better because you like the 10 because there's less turns. So we got on the 10. And then I took your advice. Keep in mind, you go take this exit, which was Sienega.
Starting point is 00:08:11 and you're going to drive through it and not exit and then you're going to get to Fairfax. We did it. It became a parking lot. And then I said, this is so boring. But I'm like, look, I'll drive over this embankment, which was pretty steep at that point to get back on the highway. You're like, do it.
Starting point is 00:08:31 That's exactly how it went. I just think if anybody wants to know your personality, take a car ride with you at rush hour. You saved a prox. approximately three minutes. I also vow to myself, I'm moving out of this city. Yeah. It took us, all right, how far was the restaurant?
Starting point is 00:08:50 Eight miles. Eight miles. Let's say the restaurant was eight miles. Hour and 20 minutes. Yep. And that's, and as Greg just said, it would have been an hour 30 plus. But I shaved some serious time off of that. And then we get there and they're like, oh, we could have met on the west side.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Oh, my God. Yeah. How about those guys, what you'm going to call it, Ubering there? Yeah, that's the move. From the valley. That's the move. They had two drinks over a two-hour period. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:24 That's not a concern. No. But it was fun. And so I'm off to Chicago tomorrow. Here's my deal. I have to fly with my bad knees. So they're picking me up in a wheelchair when I get to the airport, which I don't even know. are works but we've arrived i've reserved we have arrived so uh so they pick me up and then they take
Starting point is 00:09:49 me in but with the tsa thing i don't know if my flight oh shit i didn't plug my headphones in fuck oh look at you so this will sound a little funky for a while i got a what you what's i'm call it notice from wait to you hear this one from i'm flying tomorrow to flora flight's not canceled yet but jet blue go ahead. Finish your wheelchair. Yeah, so whether or not my flight goes, I don't know. Then I get to Chicago and there's going to be a snowstorm. And then I have to go in a car three hours to Wisconsin to do a show Sunday night. And then hope my flight from a small airport in Appleton, Wisconsin, connecting through Chicago during a snowstorm, during a TSA shutdown, somehow makes it back
Starting point is 00:10:39 on Monday with my bad leg and a wheelchair. Wow. Yeah. That's rough. Listen to this. This is JetBlue. By the way, this has nothing to do with the delays. Hi, Michael.
Starting point is 00:10:54 We have some important information about your upcoming JetBlue flight from L.A. We recently moved our operations at LAX. This is important for anyone to know out here. From Terminal 5 to Terminal 1. So all of JetBlue moved. That's pretty big. you'll now check in and go through security terminal one all right here's a message that you and i just sort of smirk at and never think about again uh to ensure a smooth travel experience
Starting point is 00:11:21 please plan accordingly flights departing from gates 12 to 18 you should arrive at least two hours before departure hold on flights departing from gates 100 to 235 which sounds like most of them You have to arrive three hours before your scheduled departure. You and I are deep REM state three hours before our flight departs. Are you kidding me? Well, if you're going in at Terminal 1 and the flight is at Terminal 4, that means that you have to go through the airport on foot three entire terminals. So what they've clarified some of this, the three hours.
Starting point is 00:12:06 My flight is less than three hours. What you have to do is you have to go through Terminal 1 security, then take a dedicated shuttle bus to your gate. Okay. That's a problem, JetBlue. That is a problem. Man, Thanksgiving is going to be a disaster around the country. I'm so glad I'm not going anywhere. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:12:31 And we'll see if I get back. I guess I'm risking that. I'm supposed to come back on Tuesday going down to hang with dad. Nice. Yep. See how that's going. And, yeah. I think I'm going to New York.
Starting point is 00:12:46 Oh, what's going on? Mom Donnie? What do you think of the Mom Donnie when? You know, this is the best part of Mom Donnie and loving it and rooting for it and excited to see the disruption is I don't live there. Yeah. So I don't know. It's very easy to be on the outside.
Starting point is 00:13:03 I actually liked his acceptance speech. It was, first of all, he told you what he'd do, very clear terms. And, you know, there's all these naysayers, but then, you know, most of the naysayers wear Rolexes. So take that with a grain of salt. That he can run the city. It's like, you don't, he's not doing this alone. He's going to hire like the smartest, best people.
Starting point is 00:13:28 One thing, though, for the political junkies out there, he hired. hired, and I should know her name, he hired a woman. His transition team is all women. And one of them, this guy did a start as men and they transition to women? That's exactly. It's a team and it's a team effort. Right. Hold on here. Let me see if I have it. But this woman apparently she's like, she is the most feared woman in corporate America. She's the one like with all these consumer protection, like for instance, that it needs to be by law one click to unsubscribe, you know, from anything corporate. Oh, I love it.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Exactly. All that stuff. So wait, with props, we have to give it up. Ready? No longer need to blaze him in order to build election hype. However, picking Lena Khan as the chair of your transition team. Wait, this guy's hysterical about it. Day one, and this motherfucker has chosen the nuclear option.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I saw the news and I was like, oh. So he calls her the nuclear option because she's like, she has caused more nightmares in Silicon Valley than anybody else. She holds them accountable. She's all about consumer advocacy and just slowing down the absolute billionaire role with how much they can exploit consumers in the public. Yes. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Yeah. And then you got these billionaires that are red face going, well, guess what? I'm moving to Florida. And it's like, okay, so you make $20 million a year and you're angry that you have to give an extra million back to the city? What kind of piece of shit are you that you're going to pick up and move? Good. Fucking go. Somebody else will pick up the slack.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Also, I saw someone go, all right, Mom Donnie's a little. elected, and now all these billionaires and millers are telling us they're going to move. Here you go. Guess what? Don't tell us. Just do it. Just go. Stop. Why are you announcing it? Who gives a shit? Get the fuck out. Yes. The business will still take place in New York, and it'll be a young, hungry entrepreneur that probably has better ideas than you. Corporate tax rates were so giant, like before Reagan ruined our country. Corporate tax rates were so high, and everybody including the corporations benefited. Did you see Billy Eilish give $10 million to a charity or more?
Starting point is 00:16:04 And then there were billionaires in the room. And she goes, if you're a billionaire, you're a piece of garbage. You should be ashamed of yourself. Why aren't you giving your money away? Wow. Yeah, it was pretty cool. And what's his name? I always forget his name.
Starting point is 00:16:19 The bald guy from NYU professor of economics. He said the same exact thing this week. He's like, what are you doing? Yeah. If you're not, like, how do you not have the best name and reputation as a super generous person? No, as bad as the robber barons were, you know, they set up, you know, the libraries and the museums and orphanages. They, you know, they were involved. I mean, they sucked.
Starting point is 00:16:50 They were just as shitty as the billionaires today. But at least they made an attempt to do good stuff. I was trying to think of. Oh, yeah. No, I just drove through Teton National Park, Yellowstone, and made my way up to Glacier. The Rockefellers bought almost the entire run I made and prohibited and gave it to national, you know, made them donated to national parks, or some of them are still in their name, absolutely protected.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Zero development allowed. They preserve that one. Now, what's this about Palm Beach, speaking of rich people? Oh, well, I'm going down there, and I was going to make it a story, but it's not really a story. But the insanity I'm about to go to, and we have a Florida man story about Palm Beach also. But there is a tear-down house, and this was a headline in the Wall Street Journal. I'll just read the headline. A potential tear-down in Palm Beach hits the market for $185 million.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Wow. like okay damn and you know the crazy thing is in 10 years it's going to be worth $230 million those properties just keep on going up there these like you look at these Beverly Hills property every celebrity they always list when they sell their properties they all double in five or six years and I think part of it is them having their name on it a little but I you know I'd watch what you say about beachfront property in Florida right Because there could be some, first of all, I don't, I mean, this, that guy doesn't need insurance. But insurance is almost impossible now since that Miami building collapse.
Starting point is 00:18:35 So especially in taller buildings, which are not primary, you know, homes. But still, insurance because of all of the storms, never mind the corrosion in the other, other like condo buildings. But the storms now, insurance companies are losing money. Well, not only that, but all these, including my mother's building, because of that Miami building collapsed, they're forcing them to do structure, huge structural changes. Like my mother's building had balconies. Every unit had a balcony. And this is a, you know, seven-story block long building. They said they had to take all the balconies down. They spent three years with unbelievable construction noise. taking down. And so, of course, there was assessments. It was like a $100,000 assessments for everybody in the building. Yep. Yeah, no, I think my dad's building just got hit with assessments. I'm not kidding. I think it was $250,000. Like, under your door comes
Starting point is 00:19:40 a bill like, oh, you owe the HOA, $250,000. And like, you're like, oh, well, he's living in a rich place. It's like, well, that is actually beside the point. This is literally what it would have cost, poor people, anything. It's the bill for retrofitting and checking out all the infrastructure of your building, the metal that has corroded or whatever it is, and then the slew of inspections to get it up to snuff. At a certain point, you've got to go, all right, how old am I? What are the chances of this happening? And how bad would it be to just get crumbled in a building?
Starting point is 00:20:20 Like, it happens. Right. Except you didn't have a choice there. You know, what happens with the assessments is they have a program set up where you can, they can lend you money so you get on a payment plan if you can't do it. Otherwise, you gone. Wow. It's not like, like so my, most people in my dad's building, including my dad now, no longer
Starting point is 00:20:41 have insurance. So kind of like what you're saying. They're like, uh, and also, of course, you have to sue the insurance company if God forbid something happens. Right. And FEMA is not around anymore. They've cut and slashed that whole program. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:57 So the logo this week is from Lawrence Tarpy. Wait, did we do this last week? I literally thought this was like a joke or since it's twins. Yeah, never mind. Take it out. It's not from Lawrence Tarpie. It's from Bob. And I'm dropping it in right now.
Starting point is 00:21:14 So for those of you at home listening, Greg had the shining logo in there. which was last weekend. But this week's very disturbing faces, which I didn't want to see again. It is. Let's see this logo. Oh, I like this. Yeah. It's us moving Prince Andrew out.
Starting point is 00:21:33 We're carrying a couch. Oh. How about that? The underage couch. How about that picture? Was it Tom that sent us? And it was a picture of Prince Andrew with a purple cape on. And it said, Andrew,
Starting point is 00:21:48 formerly known as Prince. Yeah. Good one. That was a good one. A song this week. Oh my God, I got to say last week's song, people flipped out about how great it was. It was by a guy named Thor.
Starting point is 00:22:04 It was our most commented on song. EPQ said, holy shit, the song from the last episode was simply amazing. Loved, loved, loved. Kelly Cardell said, first off, love the podcast. Second thing.
Starting point is 00:22:18 I'm obsessed with the song for this week's episode. I know you said the artist goes by Thor. Is there another name? Or does he have other songs that are available to listen to elsewhere? We'd love to hear more. So Thor, I believe I asked him and he says he doesn't. But Thor, please email us if you do have other stuff because people, I mean, there's like five other emails. I won't read them all.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Thor's not going to sell out, man. He's pure, pure artist. He doesn't want to sell out. He's Sunday. We have overall exclusive deals with certain songwriters. Searching for Thor. It's like Sugarman. He's like Sugarman.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You got to go find him. This week's song, which is also, I think we're going to get a ton of good feedback on, is from Chris Marr. You did not send it to me. I did not send it to you and I apologize. Sorry, Chris.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I can't wait to hear it. But I can tell you firsthand. It's a great one. I always rank the songs. So I know, like I have a folder with tons of songs in it. and I number them 1 through 10, and this is a 9. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Hey. Well, I mean, everyone loves hearing you talk about music, so I'm sure these rankings. Sports and music. Send us some more songs. We're always looking for new ones. Send them in. No AI, please. We don't care if it's you.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Wait, why don't? I'm not against AI. Why am I against it? No, I'm not against it. I am. It's a tool. You could use. it? Well, I just feel like it's not fair to the people that take the time and the energy to
Starting point is 00:23:53 make one originally, you know? Because it takes about 30 seconds. I mean, I could make an AI song for the show. How about this, Greg? You, it sounds like, we'll be able to filter them out. You'll know immediately if it's AI. I thought, don't you remember two weeks ago? I thought it was AI and I said it was. And then the guy made us a 20-minute video of him re-recording the song and showing us each track. So I don't know. It's hard to tell sometimes. So that seems to me then your little rules should be thrown out. Have you heard the AI version? They did a 70s soul version of an Oasis song. Yes. It's extraordinary. Yeah. No, it's over. It's over. Yeah. Corrections. Brian G. said during this day in history,
Starting point is 00:24:44 Greg asked about the date of the first thermonuclear bomb test as a PhD nuclear engineer show off. Whoa. Whoa. I thought I'd chime in. The bombs used on Japan were fission devices that used uranium and plutonium as fuel. Thermonuclear weapons
Starting point is 00:25:02 used both fission stage, followed by a fusion stage. I seem to remember this from high school. Allowing for much higher explosive yields. Yields. Good yields. The first test was about 500 times more powerful than the Nagasaki bomb. That's crazy. Russia actually detonated the most powerful bomb ever, a thermonuclear device that was over 2,000 times more powerful than Nagasaki. Hope you sleep well with this information. Take it each.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Oh my God, I saw a thing this week where they talked about it might even been a clip in a show or something, but the North Atlantic nuclear sub-situation with Russia and how much our guard is down. And also, when you see a purge like, and that's what they've defined this as, a purge of our military leadership across all fronts. Oh, yeah, like 25 of the biggest military leaders in the country. That is a real sign of weakness. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:08 And especially when they're replacing them with clowns. who have no institutional knowledge of anything related to their job. Yeah. All right. Sleep well. Yeah. Another correction, Joe Blow said point break. Point break is a 90s movie.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Fitzdog must have been thinking of fast break. Fast break. I love fast break. Really? Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. I loved Gabe. It was in a basketball movie.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I loved Gabe. I mean, Cotter, man. Mr. Cotter. Missouri breaks, 1976. with Marlon Brando. Either way, uttered with Fits Fact, Ultimate Confidence. Sure was, Joe Blow. You want to see confidence.

And then I open them and it, the range is one penny to five pennies on each check. and then I get one out of the mailbox yesterday. I rip it open. I looked down.

Well, just save all those pennies. You'll be set. A jury awarded $10 million to former first grade Virginia teacher, Abby's Werner, who was shot and seriously wounded by a six-year-old student in 2003.
Starting point is 00:31:03 A civil case that accused the school's former assistant principal of ignoring multiple warnings the day of the shooting. She was shot in the hand and chest by a single bullet at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia. She spent two weeks in the hospital, had six surgeries. The bullet to her chest narrowly missed her heart and remains lodged there. Oh, cold, cold heart. full use of her left hand and has left teaching. She accused the assistant principal of gross negligence. She said she went to her office the morning of the shooting and said the boy was, quote, in a violent mood and had threatened to beat up another student.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Six. The vice principal had no response to Werner's concerns. Maybe he responded like I did. He's six. Calm down. Right. Right. Well, I guess as a teacher, one thing she doesn't have to teach is that kid had a shoot. Nice, right in the heart. One shot. Listen, I mean, I don't know if she put out her hand to block, you know, and it went through her hand into her boob, where she was touching herself in front of six-year-olds.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Maybe that's why he shot her. I know. And he got both in one shot. Yeah. Maybe he was just trying to shoot the hand probably. Yeah. That is great. When I was in eighth grade, I'm friends with a guy named Johnny Trouble. And he was going to get in a fight with this Puerto Rican kid from the projects. And the Puerto Rican kid had a knife. And so Johnny Trouble was bringing a knife to school the next day. And they were going to have a knife fight in eighth grade. And so I was at dinner with my parents. And my father was talking about, his rough upbringing in the Bronx and how nothing rough ever happens in our lives, like calling us pussies. And they go, oh yeah, Johnny Trouble's going to have a knife fight
Starting point is 00:33:07 tomorrow with Danny Rodriguez. Both names are terrifying. So my father called the school and they had a meeting and they brought Johnny Trouble and Danny Rodriguez into the principal's office and they got the knives out of their lockers and Johnny
Starting point is 00:33:23 got suspended and it was my fault. And it was your first. fault that no one was murdered in the playground. I know, but I got my friends, my friends fucking turned on me for a while for that. I mean, how about a responsive school? That's what that story. Your personal story is about a school that responded. Right.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Well, listen, this should be an encouraging story that everyone likes to just say that teachers are the worst paid. Look, there are success stories. Look at it, look at it, look at it, look how well paid this teacher was. That's right. 10 million. She asked for 40 million, which, you know, how long would it have taken her to make 10 million dollars on a Virginia teacher's salary? What do you think they make 50 grand a year?
Starting point is 00:34:13 I don't know if it's that high, especially in Virginia. I would doubt it's 50 grand. Right, right. And then all the money that they have to put into, personal money that they have to put into, it like every teacher does supplies all that stuff with outrage building over the death of kit cat a feline struck by a waymo in san francisco's mission district a city supervisor has called for legislation allowing counties to ban autonomous vehicles first of all have you been in the mission district you know yeah the cat's the least of their problems down there that's why they're angry
Starting point is 00:34:54 They're like, of all living things to run over, you hit Kit Kat? Right. The resolution that Supervisor Jack Fielder plans to introduce Tuesday would urge state leaders to change how this ride hail technology is regulated. Quote, here on the mission, we will never forget our sweet Kit Kat, and we will always put community before tech oligarchs. She blasted Waymo for not only killing an animal, but causing congestion, collecting using data, and undermining public transit. it. Well, I mean, no one has to wait for this kit cat to cross the street anymore. So maybe it cleared up some congestion. That's right. Yeah. So I guess the beloved bodega cat scurried under a waymo and shocked bystanders.
Starting point is 00:35:42 The poor thing crawled 10 feet to the sidewalk and suffered a hard. This is San Francisco. This is a San Francisco woman talking. The poor thing crawled 10 feet to the sidewalk and suffered a horrible. horrible, horrible, long, unaliving. Unaliving, Greg. Unaliving? I took Perkissette. I took Perkissette from my knee the other night and I was uncoming.
Starting point is 00:36:11 And then I got constipated from it and I was unshitting. Unaliving. All right. They're really using it. Okay. Representatives of Waymo have since tried to make amends with community members who loved the nine-year-old tabby
Starting point is 00:36:27 long a de facto doorman at Rhonda's market next to Roxy. Store patrons knew him affectionately as the mayor of 16th Street. Hey, look, the mayor just sprawled out on the pavement and licked his own asshole. Remember the mayor
Starting point is 00:36:48 used to walk on the catwalk crossing the street? I mean, I think now, hopefully other cats saw this because I think it's going to be like listen when cats now see you know German shepherds or whatever on leashes and other pets around the neighborhood it's got a read on it you know this Kit Kat doesn't freak out every time it sees a German shepherd on a leash it knows it's not going to get but like if a loose coyote was walking around you know Kit Kat would be you know be very different and on guard so now it's going to
Starting point is 00:37:23 to be like, yeah, Toyota Prius, yeah, a wagoneer. It's like, a driverless car. Yeah. That's a different story. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think, I mean, the homeless learned it.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Now the cats will learn it. I took a Waymo from San Francisco. Here's San Francisco in terms of going there. And one of the great things about San Francisco is the people, the beatniks, the poets, the Italians, the Asians. I took a Waymo from the airport to my hotel. My hotel had a personless kiosk to check in, and then I ordered Uber Eats before the show,
Starting point is 00:38:04 and a fucking robot showed up to the hotel, and I had to go down and get the food. I was like, so great getting to know the people of San Francisco. Get a robot massage. It would be perfect. AI porn. Yeah, exactly. Nothing's going to be real.
Starting point is 00:38:21 We're going to be so isolated. After? I like Waymos. I mean, everyone's like, oh, what do you think? I'm like, I can't, I mean, they are so, so much better than L.A. drivers. The only thing is, the complete stop at a stop sign kills me if I'm behind a Waymo. That's the only thing. I was at the store last night.
Starting point is 00:38:45 And I couldn't get in the parking lot because there was a Waymo in the driving. of the employee parking lot and it was just sitting there. Like it had gone to turn around and then it froze and the door guy said that's the sixth one tonight. They're programmed to think
Starting point is 00:39:03 that that's the entrance to the comedy store and then it just freaks out and it shuts down and it doesn't know what to do and they have to call Waymo and they have to come and move it. And I think the laugh factory
Starting point is 00:39:15 is doing this on purpose. This Kit Kat story I think even the Waymo rolled its eyes like guys It's a loose and wild cat That ran under me Yeah After more than two centuries in print The Farmer's Almanac will end its run
Starting point is 00:39:38 With its 2006 edition Long known for weather predictions Moon phases Fishing and gardening guides And Folk Wisdom They had a 208-year legacy. They said it will live on among millions of readers. They called it quits due to the increasing financial challenges of producing and distributing the almanac in today's media environment.
Starting point is 00:40:04 So wait a minute. So they know it will end in 2006? This is the first correct prediction they've made in 200 years. Yeah. Well, also the farmer's almanac is going to be, now it's going to be written by, China. Just like all the soybeans have gone there. Yeah. The farmers are hurting here and it includes their almanac. Yeah. And people that used to read farmers, if anybody who's left reading farmers, they're the ones that don't believe in mainstream media. They just believe in weather predictions
Starting point is 00:40:38 made 12 months earlier. Yeah. Does the corn have a thick husk on it? That means it's going to be cold this year but like what it isn't i just in going through stories i read that there's an arctic freeze predicted i'm wondering if it's because farmer's almanac wrote about it yep i don't know farmer's almanac i wonder if they can tell me about my flight tomorrow come on be yeah i wonder if they even have a website where they update stuff or they just kind of lock in a year before and go nope this is it they focus too much on farm daughter. What was their dating site? What was the farmer's dating site? Yeah, Farmer's daughter. Is that really what it's called? I think so. By the way, how about that restaurant on
Starting point is 00:41:26 Abakini, Butcher's Daughter's Daughter. Have you been there? No. It's either vegetarian or vegan. Yeah. So now I kind of see the cute name that maybe the daughter, you know, fell far from the butcher dad or Butcher mom tree. But it's like, no one's putting that together. I read Butcher's daughter. I think I'm going to get the thickest cut of bacon at breakfast there. Yeah, yeah. Like a butcher's cut.
Starting point is 00:41:56 Yeah. No. It's like, you know, it's broccoli bacon or whatever the hell it is. Oh, it's called Farmers Only, not Farmer's Daughter. Oh, okay. I was just going to look it up. Got it. Farmer's daughter sounds more like, you know, the joke.
Starting point is 00:42:11 There's a million farmer's daughter jokes. Of course. I'm trying to think of one right now. It should be that. Yeah, wasn't there one like, don't put, don't, oh, Mr. Scho even made a song with early, unknown Jack Black singing about putting your pee-pee in a hole in the barn, and the farmer warned him not to, it's all about you can stay here, but I have a really hot daughter.
Starting point is 00:42:36 And guess what? Things happen. Yeah. Do you want to do this turkey story? Americans are bracing to cough up more cash this year for their Thanksgiving feasts. Wholesale turkey prices have spiked 75% since October last year, climbing from 94 cents a pound to a buck 71 a pound last month. Pushing up the high prices are the bird flu outbreaks that are ravaging turkey populations,
Starting point is 00:43:05 significantly reducing the number of turkeys raised. The contagious viral disease has caused the turkey flock in the U.S. to plummet to its smallest size in nearly four decades. Damn. What do you have your norm joke? I was just saying like a norm joke. There's plenty of, it's not a lot of turkeys, there's plenty of turkeys, just go down to Congress.
Starting point is 00:43:31 That's the kind of joke he would have done. I love it. By the way, it mentions up here, the analysis was by Purdue University. Oh. Does Purdue University have anything to do with Frank Purdue? Interesting. To get a tender chicken requires a tough man. What was their slogan? It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I flipped it. Yeah, that's it. Frank Purdue, who reminded me of Ed Koch when I was growing up. He reminded me a Tom Carvel. A little, but he was a tough, bald guy. Did you oversee Tom Carvel? I used to caddy for him. No.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Yep. And his wife would, the caddy master at the country club was very funny. And Frank Purdue's wife was like ditsy and spacey. And she would always miss her golf dates. She would show up on the wrong days. And he goes, she thinks that Wednesday is Sunday. You need to know a Carvel ad to get that joke. Yeah, Carvel might just be an East Coast thing, but that was their slogan is on Wednesday.
Starting point is 00:44:40 Wednesdays, you got like a two-for-one Sunday. And so their slogan was Wednesdays or Sundays at Tom Carvel. So they have Carvel out here. Does Ralphs carry them or something? The Carvel, so for those that don't know, we grew up on the East Coast, Carvel was a chain, famous mostly for their soft-serve ice cream in the northeast, I believe. Anyway, and Tom Carvel would read the ads, and they were hysterical. But last night, just very small world, last night and yesterday, I made a Carvel ice cream
Starting point is 00:45:17 cake for my sister Laura's birthday. What? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's the thing I do in my family. I get way too much credit because making is not the right word. I assemble a Carvel ice cream cake. I get these Oreos and I smash them up for like the, you know, the layers, the crunchy layers in the ice cream cake on the bottom,
Starting point is 00:45:39 the middle, and the, he didn't put them on the top, I put them on the top. And I take a, I guess a half gallon of vanilla and a half gallon of chocolate. You get it from Carvel? No, no, no. I just get briars from the no, hard ice cream. I have to wait
Starting point is 00:45:54 until they melt and then I layer them on the cake with a layer of the crunch in between. And how do you shape it? Do you have like a cone? No, I have a cake, it's not tin, but I don't know the name of it, but, you know, that you pop off the ring that goes around it. Wow. Yeah, yeah. You're amazing. Sure. Wait. Oh, look, I have a picture of it. It was a little bit of a joke this year. I loaded way too much. They also liked the Oreo,
Starting point is 00:46:24 but there's the two layers. There's the chocolate and then the vanilla and then the top, which is packed with the mint Oreos. Oh, yeah. That's questionable. Well, not in this family, man. They can't get enough of it. Wow. Sure. All right, let's get down to Swiss hilarious.
Starting point is 00:46:47 We should have done this at the top. A Kentucky official was forced to remind Bluegrass State residents that they cannot vote in Tuesday's election for the New York mayor. We're getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections. today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or
Starting point is 00:47:10 the governor of Virginia. Sorry. I'm imagining they all wanted to vote against him. I don't know. Seems like we don't want some communists running a city that we already hate. What do they care? A Muslim immigrant
Starting point is 00:47:26 communist? People from Kentucky fucking hate New York City. And yet, they're angry about how it's being run. You're never going to go there. What the fuck? This is like the guys that are so they love shitting on
Starting point is 00:47:42 women's basketball and how bad they are. And then the second they hear that a transition woman wants to play in female sports, they lose their shit. Oh, so now you care about women's sports? Right. Well, trust me, Nashville has
Starting point is 00:47:58 tremendous Kentucky envy, and I'm not, I'm being very serious. because Kentucky is definitely making steps and is more progressive and more inclusive than Tennessee. Interesting. Yeah, the northern cousin there is doing a lot more things right. I do a club in Lexington every year and it's a fucking great town. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Oh, no, I told you when Hoffman and I went Ben Hoffman, the comedians from Lexington and the gay mayor. We interviewed the game air of Lexington, Kentucky. And that was over 10 years ago. No shit. It's so beautiful down there. I mean, he's not out, but we called him gay. He seemed very gay.
Starting point is 00:48:43 And like the wife was so not believable. Did he make an ice cream cake? Like, how could you? Not that gay. Let's get a crinkle. It's time for the ethical question. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:48:56 The World Series was last week. Oh, man. We didn't even, I mean, forget. That best World Series I've ever heard of, ever seen. Well, 86 Mets was probably the best. This was a second. This was a close second. Yeah, 86 Mets didn't it end in the six game?
Starting point is 00:49:14 Yeah, but it had a lot. No, seven games. Was it? Yeah, Game six was when the big error was made and it forced it to go to a game seven. You got a ticket. Let's say you got a ticket to Game 7, World Series, Dodgers against the Blue Jays. Yeah. you get two tickets sure you can either take your father who's aging or one of your daughters who will have
Starting point is 00:49:40 this memory for the rest of their lives this was a question sent in by a listener oh my dad and not only because like he might like the sport more and know no more about it so let's put all that aside let's say my daughter's really obsessed with baseball and maybe i guess the dodgers first of all she's really obsessed with the Dodger. She's not coming with me because I'm rooting for Canada. So, but no, it would be making, because it's not only making a memory for him, it's making a memory for me. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:15 And I'd sneak in an ice cream cake and we'd really celebrate. Hey, look, you love your dad. He was your best man at your wedding. Right, right. That did not work out, but yes. Well, it wasn't a good luck sauce that I needed. No. Make America, Florida.
Starting point is 00:50:36 Here it comes. Make America Florida. Okay, this is a feel-good, atypical Florida man story. Florida man walks the four corners of the U.S. for mental health awareness. All right, I'm going to read this, Greg. And then I took out the very last part of the sentence. and it's you're going to guess. So here is the opening sentence.
Starting point is 00:51:02 A Florida man has walked 9,280 miles across the United States to raise awareness for mental health, stopping in Naples as part of his record-breaking journey that began dot, dot, dot, dot. Well, first of all, the country is not 9,280 miles wide. No, he's doing four corners of it. It's about 3,000. Oh, okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Yeah. I'm going to say, only in Florida, man, would take 9,000 miles to get across the country. Yeah, that's true. All right. So he stumbled, because when you stumble, you at least double your steps. That began when a warrant went out for his arrest in Florida for domestic violence. It literally said stopping in Naples is part of his record-breaking journey that began in a prison cell. I'm not joking.
Starting point is 00:51:55 It was so Florida. Like, I was like, this is just feel good. I'll explain that to the listeners. And I'm like, well, there's the Florida part right there. Oh, my God. Yeah. So how does he check in with his parole officer when he's walking for? I know.
Starting point is 00:52:08 And all that, yeah, and he just pees on the run. Kindle Ray Edwards started his walk on January 1, 2022, with his feet in the Atlantic Ocean. That's right after he got out of his prison cell. He walked across the United States once. His feet were in the ocean because he got lost and walked in the wrong direction. he's like is louisiana this way uh edwards walked across the united states once but once he hit the west coast he didn't stop now on day 839 of his journey edwards is attempting to reach all four corners of the continental united states quote when i hit the northeastern point of maine
Starting point is 00:52:50 that should be a world record and the mental health part of this is He just goes around showing what a Florida man's like and everyone feels better about themselves. I'm just calculating real quick how many miles a day this would be. If he goes, all right, so he's been going for three and a half years, which is about 1,200 days. And he's gone 9,000 miles. Oh, boy. He's going to be 200 miles. Fitzfigures.
Starting point is 00:53:23 Fitzfax is going to be Fitzfigures. He's going 7.6 miles every single day for three and a half years. How much? 7.6 miles. So he's no far as Gump. He's more of a far as Gimp at that rate. All right. I have a different one.
Starting point is 00:53:43 What I did was I did his 9,280 miles, and then I divided it by days, which was 839, and that came to 11 a day. Okay. Well, maybe someone will correct us. Was it 7.6 or was it 11? Right. All righty. Let's get down to Texas. Let's go down.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Maybe he had to walk through Texas. All right. Texas, okay, I'm heading there tomorrow. Texas man arrested in Palm Beach County for anti-Semitic threats to Jewish residents. According to court documents, Nicholas L. Ray of Spring, Texas was arrested Monday in charge with sending anti-Semitism. death threats to, and they list the people, including Laurel Lumer, on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. So I think the reaction, and with a lot of the crusty old wasps
Starting point is 00:54:38 in Palm Beach is like, Nicholas, we don't say it publicly. We don't call them out publicly down here. Like, please, you're so new money. Yeah, we have clubs for that. Yes, behind closed doors that the police are not even allowed in even if they try i thought x i thought x was for that isn't it just hate speech yeah i know a bunch of people that have gotten off x entire like like dana gould had like half a million followers and uh he just got off and he said it's just toxic oh yeah of course oh it's terrible i don't think i don't post on there very often i don't really look at it I look at Instagram. I don't look at any of it.
Starting point is 00:55:25 I'm so bad. All right. We are going to another Florida man story that happens to be in the sports category. Here it is. Tom Brady says his dog is a clone. He said Tuesday that his dog, Junie, is a clone of his late dog, Lua, that died in 2003. Quote, I love my animals, he said in a statement.
Starting point is 00:55:48 They mean the world to me and my family. Yeah. this is what you do when you're rich and you get divorced you don't split up your belongings you just get two of each you know you get two couches you get two porches and he clone the fucking dog well he also says that it helps him feel more like a family also with his new girlfriend jazelle b and uh so he just he just You know, listen, he's very in a tradition. He wants things to stay the same kind of.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Yeah, he meets her for a cup of coffee and just discreetly takes her cup and puts it in a plastic bag as he leaves the table. Maybe it's like his L, like it's the next model. It's not the G series. It's the H series. No, I think he wants to keep the Giz part in. I think it's going to be Giz M. Jiz M is perfect.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Followed by Jazen, Jizzo, Giz P. That's perfect. Which model are you on? He'll start selling models. Let's get to International. Here we go. International. I wasn't sure if we did this, so correct us if we did.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie quietly made their escape from the UK as their father, Andrew Windsor, had his royal title stripped and was evicted from his royal law. Pictures show the sisters who will still retain their royal titles, despite their parents losing theirs, avoided the scandal by taking two different vacations before the official announcement. Eugenie was spotted on a girl's trip to Paris with friends, and Beatrice was pictured at the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, probably seeing some good comedy. Yeah, that's the funny capital of the world now. Wait, why did they have to escape? I guess the media in London is insane. But he was ordered to surrender his lease at the Royal Lodge
Starting point is 00:58:06 and move to an alternative private accommodation. So I guess he needs to find a castle that's at least 100 yards from a school. Perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Um, wow. Yeah, the escape thing is wild. Also, I bet his daughters are older than some of his victims. Oh, they definitely are. Yeah, yeah, 37 and 35. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, that's embarrassing. They could have been, uh, even a parent of one of them probably. Yes, for sure. They're probably disinvited to all those little parties that all these royals go to. They're probably disinvited to all of them. Right. I'm looking at, you skipped his middle name. His name's Andrew Windsor. It's Andrew Mountbatten, Windsor. Mountbatten is so over the top. It's, it is the most like British
Starting point is 00:59:05 royal name. I mean, it is, but it's like, it almost would be that even if I didn't affiliate it with them. Like Mountbatten is crazy. Had you heard that name before? Yeah, Mountbatten, because it's in the family and it's like I think let's look up the name isn't is the king Mount Benton was the not the king well I'll just say it's the second most real name yeah the first is a friend you grew up with whose name is Mishi de Bourbon oh is that the one that's up there with with Mountbatten and I went to and I went to school with a girl named Ashley Briggs and another kid named Randy Van Cleet the third. The Mountbatten family, and I mean all of this is happening right now, me reading this
Starting point is 00:59:58 because you know more than I do. Like I haven't even seen the crown. I've like had kind of no interest in the British royals. So I mix them up all the time. All of it's blurry for me. But the Mountbatten family is a British family that originated as a branch of the German princely Battenberg. family.
Starting point is 01:00:17 The name was adopted by members of the Badenberg family residing in the United Kingdom in 1917, three days before the British royal family changed its name from Saxe-Koburg to Gotha to Windsor. Listen to this crap. This was due to a rising anti-German sentiment. Ah, they pulled that one. There's their coat of arms. So originally from German.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Interesting. Louis Mountbatten the first The Marquess of Milford Haven Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh That's him Anyway Burma Burma's involved The Earl's Mountbatten of Burma
Starting point is 01:00:59 Yes have you seen It's a sign of disrespect To the royal family When you put your hands in your pockets In front of them Oh the Irish Yeah the Irish do it Sillian Murphy did it
Starting point is 01:01:14 When you met the queen recently? Yep. I don't know who you met, but I would do that for sure. Right. Yeah, I like it. And I'd play with my balls. They kill, like, generations of people and really ruin the soul of a country. But we got them back.
Starting point is 01:01:31 We put our hands in our pockets. Yeah. It's even now. It's even. Do you want to do, you want to go to science? No, we'll save science. Oh, let's save science and get down to. Elon Musk apparently has an AI girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:01:43 We'll get to that next week. This day in history? This day in history. All right, I got to admit up front. It was light. Really? Yeah, it was tough. So let's just, you have to be a little patient.
Starting point is 01:02:01 You're not going to know about Gemini 12 or Ned Kelly. Nat Turner. You're not going to know any of that crap. World War I ends you would know. There's a lot of elections. which are boring. All right, hold on. 1922?
Starting point is 01:02:20 Well, would you know when Richard Burton, the great, great Welsh actor was born? I would say, give her take five years. I would say he was born in 1932. You blew it. 1925. You were just about to get it.
Starting point is 01:02:43 The American. American Children's TV series, Sesame Street, debuted on the National Educational Television Network, later called PBS. When did Sesame Street premiere, give or take three years? I'm going to say it was a revolutionary show. It was very diverse. It was about inner city. I'm going to say it had to be late 60s, 68. 69. There we go. Very good.
Starting point is 01:03:17 This next tragedy left us with a very cool song. The Edmund Fitzgerald sank during a storm on Lake Superior, killing all 29 on board on Gordon Lightfoot immortalized it. So what year, hold on a minute. Okay. I'm making sure they're not asking about the song. What year did the Edmund Fitzgerald sink on Lake Superior, killing all 29 aboard, give or take 10 years?
Starting point is 01:03:53 Oh, tank, come on. All right, fine, give or take 30 years. Okay. Well, he wrote about it. I'm going to bet you don't get it. I'm guessing the song came out around 75. So I would say the wreck was way earlier with some kind of. I'm going to say 1875.
Starting point is 01:04:16 So close. The wreck was in 1975. No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. No way. When did the song come out? You saw me. That's why I paused.
Starting point is 01:04:26 When I saw this date, I'm like, that must be the song. And that's why I like read more and delayed. Well, what year did the song come out? Interestingly, 74. He knew it was coming. Yeah. No, I don't know. let's see here it must have been right after that uh Gordon Lightfoot was born in 38 died let's see
Starting point is 01:04:49 and we're going to go with sundown was 74 wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald the next year after the sinking 76 okay well at least I got I should get partial credit for knowing that if you could read my mind all right okay so that's that way let me go back now I'm in a wormhole of But I did read about it a little.

Starting point is 01:07:26 I missed this one. The American Cable Television Company, HBO, where I got my start, officially debuted as it aired the 1971 film Sometimes a Great Notion, which starred Paul Newman. I worked there.
Starting point is 01:07:43 I heard a lot about its history. And I didn't, like, that's one of those, like, TV killed the radio star is the first music video. But I've never heard this.

Starting point is 01:09:39 and fellow nominee Laura Dern. She was Flo, the sassy and foul-mouthed but deeply compassionate Southern waitress. And Martin Scorsese's Alice doesn't live here anymore. And that was 74. She was Marietta Fortune, a seductive, malvolent. Malvolent? I don't like that. Malevolent?
Starting point is 01:09:58 See? Man, my reading. Former Beauty Queen, who hires a hitman to kill her daughter's boyfriend in David Lynch's wild at heart. That was 1990. I got to watch that again. I mean, I remember her hysterical, literally, the literal word hysterical, with tears, with the makeup all over her face in front of the mirror.

And they were both nominated. I've never seen that one. Me neither. But here's a little quote that I put.
Starting point is 01:10:38 put in for the Fitzdog. Ms. Ladd was asked for advice on succeeding in show business, and she said, quote, nothing's going to be handed to you. She said, suggesting that in her 80s, she had no intention of mellowing, quote, you have to fight like a dirty, rotten dog. Wow. That's badass. Yep.
Starting point is 01:11:03 Anyway, she, Laura Dern is so cool. and uh but um and i guess it's bruce stern is that uh yeah that i guess that would be her father but uh yeah i want to see i want to see that movie again um wild at heart i mean nicholas cage and that thing is so great also but that thing about you have to fight like a dirty rotten dog as an actress like i just read uh an article about jennifer lawrence and the new yorker this week and uh you know high she was the highest paid actress in hollywood for years and then she uh sorry and then she um but they were talking about her first role i can't remember the movie but she auditioned and they said she was too pretty so the next week she got on a flight to toronto

So fact-checking claims about Mom Donnie. And one of them is, all right, the claim is my uncle says Mom Donnie will abolish the entire police department.
Starting point is 01:12:54 And The Onion says, true, your uncle does say that. Another. Another claim, Mom Dani met his wife on Hinge. True, but it won't happen for you. Claim, Mom Dani is a communist. False. Any real communist will happily spend six hours explaining why this isn't true. Anyway, so good.
Starting point is 01:13:28 And then here's one last one last one, which is just a true cartoon. and its cartoon topic from the onion. Californians approve measure to redraw Garfield. That's good. There it is. Not only the voting districts, but we're redrawing Garfield finally. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:51 Speaking of drawing, Jason Love, friend of the show, made a nice comic that we are all going to write captions on. It looks like an OB, GYN. He's standing in a mask and a gown in front of a woman who's in front of a woman who's in stirrups getting a vaginal exam.

Starting point is 01:15:19 This is the best group I've ever seen. These are good. I mean, it lent itself to good ones, but you would think everyone would be on the same track. I was worried. I thought this one was a little bit specific. Yeah, it would be a joke on a joke. Yeah. Ron said another mistress of Bruce Wayne gives birth.
Starting point is 01:15:41 Right. Well, that's been covered kind of. But boy, those are really good. Yep. Why don't we send them all coosies? Everybody gets a coozy. Everybody gets a coozy. It seemed like you laughed the hardest at Cunt Dracula.

Yes. I'd say any time I can catch a woman running is special. Anytime a woman with a limp comes in my path is special.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Right. When their eyes are open, it's actually a little less special for me. Yeah. Yeah. I hate when they're looking. Yeah. Lockhorns. They're looking at a bill and Leroy says,
Starting point is 01:17:27 why can't hidden fees stay hidden? But I've never really questioned, like, the lockhorns must have been like a placeholder name.

You know, I saw a movie in the theater, believe it or not. I think it was called Good Fortune, but it's Aziz Ansari's. He directed it. Oh, I heard that's good. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. No, it's feel good. It's not challenging at all.
Starting point is 01:20:03 It's just feel good. Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, and it's very much a mom-dani movie. I got to tell you, it's about the 1% being less like a-holes. So anyway, but Keanu Reeves is in it. And I, I'm a fan of Keanu Reeves. I don't think I've ever seen him this bad. Really?
Starting point is 01:20:26 And it was very surprising to me because he's done so many things and he's done them in his Keanu way, but well, I mean, all the John Wick, all, I mean, the Matrix. And, you know, he's cast pretty perfectly, same with Bill and Ted. But, like, he's cat, like, in the Matrix, literally he's called dumb in it. And then he doesn't realize, like, he's the hero. He's not buffoonish, but he's kind of like lost also. because it's the goddamn matrix so he's like what wait what and whoa and so he's perfect for it but man there's something off in this and i know he's playing an angel which is first scene so no spoiler he's playing an angel and so but man he does this shaking thing like it would be like to you
Starting point is 01:21:16 like that's sam him like shaking his head like Greg well uh it's almost like you when you saw him in bill and ted's adventure like he's like well what's this you know and like and just but that's it man one speed pitch well speaking of bad uh and bad reviews have you heard about all's fair kim kardashian series on hulu no oh boy it's got a 5% on rotten tomatoes oh here's some of the reviews um oh yeah i should read about kiano i didn't read about him yeah break out a stopwatch start the timer the moment the action begins and see how long it takes for your jaw to detach from the rest of your face oh okay great I cannot believe Ms. Close put her name on this train wreck.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Oh. Yeah, it's bad. It's real. And the thing is, the cast is amazing. Naomi Watts. Well, Ryan Murphy is the executive producer. He usually makes really good stuff, doesn't he? So, wait, it's a movie?
