Hello, the internet, and welcome to this special episode of Dernadilly's Eidgeist! This is going to be the oops, all overrated, underrated, and search history series

featuring some of our favorite guests, giving some of our favorite opinions from the past few months. We'll be checking in with these sporadically. They're just mostly silly episodes full of the the treat part of the of the episode the not about the news part of the episode and uh yeah we hope you enjoy them uh all filler no killer i guess you could say and uh if you have a favorite overrated underrated from the long history of the show uh my memory doesn't work that well but if you if you have one from a long time ago let us know in the discord or in the comments uh and maybe we can do an

all time, oops all over under search history. Anyways, without further ado, here they are. Oops, all overrated, underrated, and search history. Bye. Miles, do you want to kick us off with something? Do you think is underrated?

Under fucking rated is okay, this is going to get me canceled, but I'm going to land the plane here. Okay. Body cam videos of law enforcement. however. However, it's it's fish and wildlife warden body cam videos that I think are underrated, okay? Because you know, it's fuck the police all day. And ACAB does include fish and wildlife wardens because I also see videos where like they're harassing like people of color who are just like, I don't know, bro, we fish. Like this is what we do. And I'm like, do you have your, can I check your poll? I'm like, okay, this, now you're copping it up.

But the videos that first were shoved in my face through the algorithm on you. were fish in wildlife like wardens busting like rich white people on their boats doing like I love this genre because a lot of the videos that I watch is just busting rich white people like who are illegally lobster fishing or something like off the coast of like fucking Nantuck like you know some shit like that yeah yeah where they're just like blatantly off violating the walls yeah yeah yeah and they're like hold on yachts together yeah like it's just like grabbing them and they're like hold on let's measure these are like these aren't even you gotta toss these back what are you doing i like the baby ones because you can see the fear in their eyes yeah and they taste sweeter raw okay freak um but yeah they're they're like always illegally catching lobsters or oysters or like fishing with illegal bait or like fucking spear guns that they're ripping their lobster and half and eating them like ursula eats those little souls exactly 100% and the videos are great because like these fish in wildlife They're like, hey, we're going to do a resource check really quick.

Just check. Make sure you got enough your, like, they start off being like, I want to see, make sure you all got enough, like, life jackets. You got your fire extinguisher. Got this. But really, they're doing like a fucking Colombo type thing. Like, I'm sorry to get Natasha Lee. One more thing here.

What's in the buckets over there? No, the other ones. Oh. You didn't tell me you were fishing for lobsters. Well, this is a. And the way these people are all, they, every time their defense is like, I do this all the time. I do this all the time. So bad.

It's just never been harassed by a law enforcement agency in their life. And it's so amazing because then this person is like, you know, these are, these are technically felonies like each one that you've got here. They're like, no, no. Um, well, but I do it all the time. Yeah. Seriously. Like, what can we do here?

Stop saying that. The cop has to be like, you need to stop saying that. One guy was like got a misdemeanor. And then he's like, is this the lowest we can go? He's like, technically these are felonies. So yeah. I mean, like, these are crimes. So I'm like, this is the lowest version I can, you know, take it.

But here, let me show you some video of me doing this before to prove that I do this all the time. Yeah. Why do you think that helps? I don't know. But that's why I love because that's the, that's just the essence of those videos is because the ones I've seen, they're busting these very privileged people who'd think the law is not like apply to them. But these official wildlife ordinance, they don't give a fuck. They're like, I was watching you for two hours is what you don't like. Some of these people were like, I was clocking you from the shore.

Okay. And then I decided to come out here. So you can't explain anything to me. And they're like, my goodness old time. Undercover as a fucking lobster, bro. Surprise, motherfucker. I was the lobster. Freeze.

Somebody pops out of the bucket. But anyway, I found myself really being tickled. Those sound wonderful. By like a busting like like fucking hedge fund dudes who are like spear fishing like, you know, like little tiny fish. they don't need to be just because they're having a good time drinking. Yeah, well, I wonder how often they're like. And let me just breathalyze you real quick.

Oh, those people always smashed. Everybody's just smoshed. Yeah. My underrated throwing old shit out, uh, I realized this weekend. I got a new water bottle, uh, right here. Okay. That boy for my birthday. Oh, wow.

Yeah, yeah. No big deal. Wait, when's your birthday? When was your birthday? Did your birthday pass? Yesterday. Oh my God. My birthday was yesterday.

Miles. Oh, my God. And I Babe, I'm sorry. I did it again. Seven years in a row now, babe. It's not like you are in my neighborhood and could have stopped by. I knew I was there for some and see, I picked up a free bike. Okay, I'll give you the free bike I picked up. It's for a six-year-old.

Then that's what I'm getting at. Underrated, not having that free bike that you picked up. Six-year-olds, rusty bike. So I got this. and thank you. I got this new water bottle and I realized that my default

was to save the instructions to the water bottle the little folder that comes with the water bottle even though like I don't think I've ever used the instructions for a water bottle. Once you read it,

you kind of get the gist. Yeah. But like I realize I have water bottle instructions that are just like left in my junk drawer. You know? I have like and then also this weekend I realize like I have you know, like, there's like the little plastic kitchen sink catcher thing that you put in the, in the, in the sink drain.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a drain catch? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like catch it. So it doesn't go down the, yeah, yeah. Drain. I realized that we've had the same one for four years. It has a hole in it.

It does not function. And I've just, like, there are just certain things that it, for some reason in my brain. Like, we, I think I've talked about it with socks before that like holes in the heels of. my socks. I just put them back and I'll put them on and be like, oh, shit, these up holes in it and just put them right back in the drawer. Like, I can't throw it away. I think it started with the cotton balls

and pills and pill bottles when I was the kid. You get the cotton balls in there? You know the cotton balls that like come in pill bottles? They don't need them. You don't need them. I know. That's just for the ship. The package. That's just for the shipment. For the moving of it. Yeah. But what? Like, I just I never throw the way.

I just like, and then they like break apart and like the pill bottles. is empty, but that cotton ball's still in there. What you do, so you don't feel like you're wasting it with every new bottle of Tylenol or whatever you open, take the cottonball out and work incrementally on a picture of the Easter Bunny with each piece

of cotton and you're working towards it. And now we're recycling. There you go. Yeah. So I don't want to, I don't want to encourage like throwing shit in the landfill. So maybe I should have like uses for this. But like I don't know. There's just certain things that I will die with. Like there's

the trash cans that came with our house like we're falling apart and for some reason yeah like just from the city like the wheel was falling off like that and then once the wheel stopped working the bottom like got dragged

and like and they're just like dirty as shit and holes was wearing in the bottom then I just like realized I could like order one from the city I was gonna say like just get a replacement but like it never occurred to me for like years I was just like you're loyal man I am doomed to

I'm loyal to, like, weird shit. To the wheels literally come off my garbage can. Till the wheels fall off, babe. I say to my garbage can as I'm like taking it. Your first tattoo is this garbage can. You like, love you. Anyways, I'm trying to be more cognizant. You know, I keep paperwork for shit if it even pretends to be a warranty card.

Right. I'm like, oh, I can't. I'm not going to fucking look stupid out here when they go, well, where's your warranty? car i'm like oh i threw it away yeah and even if it's mentions a warranty i'm like keeping it her majesty all the time's like why the fuck do we still have this and i'm like you have to just like file it like within the first 30 days right yeah and i don't do that and she says that and she's like well you've missed that window and i'm like yeah but like maybe i'll have a case afterwards maybe they'll make an exception for me i kept it yeah so many old receipts that like the i have a

I have a receipt right here that doesn't have any writing on it on either side. Because all the ink is worn out. Yeah, yeah. It's just, I know that. Yeah. That's just completely empty. Yeah.

And it's good. And it's been on my desk for like six months. That's good. And I haven't thrown it out because I'm like, maybe, maybe I'll, maybe I'll be able to divine what there's no ADHD shit going on here, folks. Move, keep it moving. Find a new angle. Those ADHD memes where they're just like, they just like read me.

directly into my soul. I'm just like, fuck you. I'm like, no way. Not me. I've made it this far. Mort, we do like to ask our guests, what's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

Guys, in keeping with my Mort brand on the Daily Zank, guys, which I'm continually looking at both skateboarding and used cars, I'm going to go to, I'm driving to Chino today to check out of 2002 and Bemiata. And, guys, this might be the one. 2002 Miata. Yeah, man. I want a little convertible

I can learn how to work on. I'm an adult man now and I want to really I want to emphasize a healthy masculinity in my life so I'm going to start wrenching. Hell yeah, dude. Yeah.

Just got a spot to tinker in that thing. Yeah, we got a little garage over here and we're going to get into some me and a friend of mine he's going to bring his tools over. He's just going to be a bunch of hot shirtless dude. glistening in the sunshine.

The way you said that, it just sounds like dudes who are smoking meth who are about to just take a car apart. Hey, my boy's about to come over for some tools and get under the hood of this me yacht. It's like, you guys don't know what you're doing? Yeah, but we got tools, man. We'll figure it out. Yeah, you know, we got a VCR that we're just going to take apart.

You got a few projects you and your buddy been working on, right? Yeah, we're still figuring out the cathode ray tube TV. Still figuring out how that works. Yeah, I'm going to hang on this porta potty for a while. You guys cool? Get to watch a ton of porn and take this Miata apart with our hands. I'm trying to figure out what makes cathode ray TV so heavy. And what makes the cathode ray tubes stink when you crack it open so bad?

Wait, why the Miata? Is there a specific reason why you got your eyes on the Miata? They're affordable. They're relatively reliable. They're easy to work on. And I want a little convertible while I live in California. Hell yeah. Hell yeah.

Okay. I feel like it would be something. You'll be looking like something that the beach boys would sing about by the end of that, you know? Just a little Miata. Yeah. Top down. That's my hope. Top down.

Yeah. Tiny, Tiny surfboard. Man in a meada. Like, yeah, dude, I love this track. A wood surfboard and a middle age lady. His knees are all messed up from all the skating. Yeah.

He's so burned and his skeleton hurts. What is something? Anything's underrated. Underrated. I don't know if anyone's doing this, but my wife and I realize we do this thing where we make up words. Not enough people are doing it.

Last night, Cody, our pit bull, he wouldn't stop loudly licking his foot. And Ashley, my wife, goes, Cody, stop slurping. And he immediately stopped doing it. Yeah. That word is too correct, not to listen to that. Slarping is the perfect word for what he was doing.

So now, my next time I'll leave a party, I'm going to go, all right, I'm gonna, I'm gonna jerk. Jirp? Yep, I'm gonna jerk. And then just leave it and it'll be like, I guess that's a cool new word for leasing, jerping. You want to jerk, dude?

Yes. This party's cashed. Let's jerk. Oh, hell yeah, dude. What's that? Jerking off in the Jeep outside? Oh. Could get you in trouble if you're just assuming you know what other people mean.

Yeah, that's all. Yeah, brother. I'm down the jerks leaves. They jerk. Yeah. It's like jack off. as they leave. I'm going to jerk on out of here.

My God, he's jacking off. You got some look. It's dragging off. Sorry, I do want to go back to the 2002 Miata because I do, I am just curious how you select, because looking at the picture of the 2002 Miata, I'm realizing this is a car I see all all over the road. They made a ton of them. Yeah.

Is that what happened? Is it they made a ton and or is it like, I'm curious what the, they, Darwinian survival of the fittest thing is that happens where a car just lasts. Yeah, well, for Japanese engineering primarily. Right. So they're like super reliable. All the parts are affordable. So a lot of people, the NAs the first generation, tons of people took those and like

autocross them, track them, like put crazy stances, like, put insane spoilers on them. So they had that too. But they sold so many that there's still a lot better, like, functioning. Yeah. That makes sense. The body looks, like, I'm trying to say, it looks like a Jetson's car a little bit. I feel like it's the closest that we've come to, like, the flying Jetson's car. Yeah.

And it's like round and, like, kind of torpedo-shaped a little bit. Yeah, yeah, I like it because it's, that you're right. It looks like what they thought the future was going to be in 1997. Right. Yeah. A beautiful future. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated, like, convertibles as cars where I don't understand.

understand why that exists because you get sunburnt your hat if you're wearing a hat which I will because you know I don't have that nice gorgeous just bush on my top of my head like that's how you call your hair and boy yeah oh man hey look at the bush on that dude's head what I did get the hair transplant where I just took the bush just straight straight right to the top of my head just a pubic toupee up just a murkin I don't even buy a twopays I just buy Merkins for cinematic use. That's right. Tape it right on.

Convertibles as cars you specified are overrated. Yeah. But as. What's the other option here? Jack, I'm just so sorry that made me laugh so hard. I don't know if I could continue with this segment. I do kind of have puby hair too.

It is a little puby Halloween today. Curly top. Because it would be noticeable. You know, like it's not like, is it the weather? Why his hair was weird? Especially if he's like covering up. Like the hair is like thick.

It's weird. If you had a transplant too, like you'd have your regular hair that didn't wasn't transplanted and then just random ass pew part. Yeah. Just a cubic mound on the top of your head. They're like, oh,

you're doing that Gen Z sort of like broccoli floppy hair thing, right? Yeah. Oh my God. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It just keeps coming out in your hats.

Like, just trailing pubs behind. Hey, they're like, hey, can I borrow your bike helmet? Yeah, like, yeah, sure. And then they look in like, yo, what the fuck are they fucking this thing? What the fuck? This hotel that Jack was staying at, we've had six attendants quitting for whatever that room service. I can't even fucking.

You've been absolutely taken out by the idea of your poop anyway. It's just a funny. Tuval. Convertibles, huh? Convertibles. So in cars, convertibles, convertibles in cars, getting coffee with pews on their head. Because you can. I don't understand that. Getting coffee. I'm just trying to picture it. Yeah. I'm picturing it. This is how Blake pitches this podcast. And I goes, dude, think about this. Stuff you should know, but with pubs on your head. I don't know why you guys won't just trust me and give me this podcast that I keep pitching. Exactly, dude. You're going to love it, scam goddess with pubs on your head.

That's right. Fine. I have someone attached to, I have Fred Willard attached. It's like, what? No, buddy. He's dead. Oh, shit. We got terrible news for you.

Wait, that's funny, too, because Mort Burke yesterday was loving a convertible. I like to see when white people fight over convertibles. Yes, my favorite kind of content. Maybe that could be a special episode because I love more, but I have to respectfully disagree where it's like, I don't want to put on. sun tan lotion before I have to get in a car, you know, and it's also the weather is never really that good. Sun tan lotion to enhance your sun tan. It does feel, so I don't.

Yeah. I don't have oil. That's so funny because that is what I grew up calling sunscreen as sun tan lotion. I think that's what we all did, I feel like, rather than being like, what do you mean? Like, you're trying to dark in your complexion? They, like, had to trick us and to put. on sunscreen. They're like, this is called sun tan lotion.

It will give you a sun tan. It's a lotion to stop the sun tan. Oh, then what is sunblock? It doesn't exist. I feel like convertibles as cars make sense only in California. Like, it's like one of those things. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, like Florida, you're going to get. It rains. Yeah, it rains so much. You're going to get just pelted with bugs that are like prehistoric. nasty so big dactyls yeah just tons of dactyls

coming to your face but yeah I don't know it's California people are still rocking with the convertibles out here oh yeah I mean Her Majesty used to have a convertible

before the fire it burned in the fire and when we'd ride around I would not ride in with it unless I wore a wig I had to there's no you have to have your hair blowing

Like a fucking idiot. So I was just a convenient hat removal device. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. Not if you tie it to the mirrors in the car where I have one long string for my hat on the side mirror and the another string shorter. Like a tension cable just yep. There it is.

He's on. Exactly. Nice try assholes. You have like one of the like the head gear that like kids who have like really bad orthodental. Like you have that. but for your hat, just a whole page around your head. Yeah, right. Not getting my hat this time. Good luck

dickhead. And also that because my teeth are loose because I grind them at night. So I just have you ever been in a convertible and one of your teeth just blows it? Yeah, all the time. All the time. Fucking hate it. Meanwhile, I'm just trailing pubs down

the tent. Yeah. Pubes flying off my head. I'm in another convertible behind you and I'm like, those windshield wipers go. What the hell? Someone hit a crow? A crow. It's like a bunch of dense spider webs in my mouth.

More like a porcupine the way my thing. My things are thick, you know? Yikes. Anyways. They like cat whiskers. Yeah. Let's take a quick break, try and recover. Let's take a long break.

Let's take a long break. Off a short beer. Try and think about whether we want to keep doing this podcast just in general. And we'll be back, maybe. Oh, come on, why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient. Still using yesterday's tech, upgrade to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, ultra-light, ultra-powerful, and built for serious productivity

My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy?

That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the Iheart Radio app,

podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Hello, it's Danielle Fischel. Rider Strong. And Wilfredel from PodMeets World. And we're bringing you Viva Las Content. That's right. We are back in Las Vegas, the city of sin, and giving the people what they want. A full week of Y2K content.

Wait, we're back in Vegas? Tell me, Y. Well, for the Backstreet Boys residency at Sphere, of course. We sat down with Kevin Richardson and A.J. McLean just minutes before they took the stage and our very own Wilfredel basically became the newest member of the band. Boy band, please. Plus, the man who has the longest running comedy show on the strip joins us and gets his props.

It's carrot top, baby. And finally, we all L-O-V-E-Hur, Ashley Simpson-Ross, joins us to talk about her upcoming sold-out Vegas residency. It's a full week of nostalgic interviews you don't want to miss. Listen to PodMeets World on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get. at your podcasts. December 29th, 1975,

LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion

actually impelled metal. glad. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and Order Criminal Justice System is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop.

Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What is something from your search history? Well, as I always do, I'm bringing you something from our latest episode project, and my search history is Dear Abbey and Landers Urban Legends. So do you guys know much about Dear Abby and Amber. Anne Landers, the two most popular advice columnists. Just that they were very popular advice columnists. I do not know.

I'm immediately fascinated to find out what the process was like behind the scenes of that. Were they ever, was it ever like contentious that one of them existed at all? Or is that my misremembering thing? I feel like there's something with like, yeah. Here's what I'll tell you. Okay. Anne Landers and Dear Abbey were identical twins that. What?

Yeah, fucking identical twins, dress the same. Yes, yes, dress the same, literally slept in the same bed in each other's arms until the day that they were married in a double wedding in the same dress. And then they both became advice columnists and got this horrible rift between them. And then we're battling to be America's top advice columnist for many, many, many, many years. What the fuck? I know, I know. I know. I didn't know this. Miles's face right now. I was like, I remember them. I just knew there was something about their identity at the time.

And so I like the, Miles, yours, the version that you got was somebody who doesn't believe in twins. They don't exist, dude. No way, dude. No way. No way. That's the same thing. They're wearing the same thing. They're wearing the same thing. They're moving back and forth really quick. That's the only explanation. Yeah, so I was like, as soon as I heard that, I was like, okay, we need to dig into this. But, you know, they were, uh, since our show is a lot about urban legends, they were a big source of urban legends because people would write in saying, this happened to my friend. She'd print it. It would because they had, I mean, at their peaks, they had a hot, like around a hundred million readers. So this is like, these people are like those kinds of invisible architects of culture that you just kind of dismiss. But they're actually like, yeah, leading. opinion. And they did a lot of things that were like pretty okay. You know, they were like slightly, they've been called like slightly left of center. So slowly America was able to kind of change. That's actually a lot better than it could have been. I know. And it's not what I expected. She's like, I will not reprint the N word in my office. You're like, oh. Slightly left of center. Wow. Wow. Brave. There's like a Ron Howard film about them refusing to do that where like they're the heroes. You better print it, Anne. I will not. I will not.

Print it now. For some reason, the lockhorns or other, are characters in it. I always associate them with, like, being back where the comics were. Yeah, exactly, yeah. It's just so wild that, like, there was this period of time when there were, like, seven TV shows on and, like, everybody watched them. Right. Nobody was paying attention to, like, how they got. Like, they were made by three white guys and, like, the friends that they had from college.

You know, it was just like, and, like, yeah, Ann Landers and Dear Abby were just, like, people who had this market cornered. Nobody was like, it wasn't this hyper competitive thing where they were, like, two million people all trying to, like, give advice or, like, have advice podcast. It was just, like, the two people who thought to do that and had, like, massive influence. and nobody was even like paying attention to it. It was just like, yeah, that's because that's what's there. What a weird, period. Really odd. I know.

I know. Now we have Reddit and Quora, so you can kind of add, you can like crowdsource all your advice. But back then it was like, yeah. Yeah, just like these two twins out there dictating culture. And it's, it's a very fun story and they were very flamboyant. Like they both wore skunk coats to their first day of college, like the same. same outfit showed up, you know, they were just very bizarre. So it's a good, it's a good twin tail. And yeah, you guys can get that in like three or four weeks. Okay. I'm just like blown

it away. Because I, as someone who like knows the Adam Sandler's Hanukkah song by memory, I'm like, that's right. We got Anne Landers and her sister dear Abby. And then Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish. Not too shabby. That whole part. I'm like, fuck the. And So it was right in front of me the whole time. They were sisters. If I had tried to write that song, I would have just like, the song would have devolved into me talking about how weird it was

that they were identical twins who slept in the same bed and her sister, dear Abby. Did you know they were kind of deranged, disillusioned identical twins and then had a terrible falling out and they wore, yeah. Did they ever make up or do we have to check in with the, we'll check in to find out how things ended. I'm trying to kind of,

There's a lot of lore, a lot of self-lore that's created. So I'm trying to kind of pick it apart. So, yeah, tune back in in a little bit here. We will. We will. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? My search history. Oh, God.

I have to actually go look at it. Uh-huh. Yeah? Yep. I don't ever look at that. I don't even know where to find that. So, okay. You sound like Pam Bondi at the DOJ with the FCA.

I don't even look at it anymore. Oh, there we go. There's the show full history. Let's, okay. I mean, I've spent a lot of energy searching for recipes for sourdough pizza crust recently because I got a pizza oven for my birthday. Oh, nice. An outdoor pizza oven. And I've lived in L.A. since September.

and what I've learned living here is that there's not very good pizza in L.A. And even when I find pizza that is acceptable, it's not the style that I like, which is interesting sourdough crust. So now, yeah, I got my, are you coming from New York? Where are you coming from? Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville. Before I lived in Lowe.

Yeah. Wow. There's a- Jack, you know a little bit about Louisville. There's a place called Pizza Lupo. there that it, like, I don't even have words to describe how good it is. It's so good. Really?

Yeah. If anyone listening to this or any of y'all ever find yourselves in Louisville, Kentucky, pay pizza loopo a visit. Huh. And that's how we're dopeo and not Louisville. Lupo, yeah. Not like, because I know that Louisville is Louisville. Their logo is like a wolf with pizza teets getting his pizza teets suckled. Oh, like Romulus and Remus.

Oh, okay, got it. I was like, I was curious. I'm like, we're doing a Romulus Remus pizza teat motif here? Yeah. Oh, the classic Romulus Remus pizza teat motif. Uh-huh. The pizza teet motif. Exactly.

Are the teets slices or full pies? Okay, I was just trying to make sure I'm just can visualize pointy and down. So are, what comes out of a pizza tea? Is it just soft or is it like a full? like mixture of pizza that has somehow been liquefied. I feel like one dispenses hot honey and the other dispenses melted mozzarella. Oh, interesting. I was thinking of like sort of never-ending pizza slice that every nibble you take, it just regenerates.

It just keep, oh, like tape. Yeah, yeah. Like it's a scotch tape dispenser. Oh, that's beautiful. Wow. That's really fun, actually. You know, I'm really into mythology, so I like to really take time. I'm sort of storyboarding, like, what a pizza teat would be like, and then it's just, like, kind of growing in front of you.

Exactly, exactly. Which, like, sounds like it would be difficult from a physics perspective, but you know what? So is, like, just milk being made in there. Like, that is wild. That's a very strange thing that happens. Wait, so where have you been in L.A. where you're like, bro, this pizza fuck sucks that people have told you to you. Dude, dude. Um, so, well, just most of the pizza places that are just around. And I live, I'm in the valley. So granted, you know, Valley not known for its like culinary advancements.

Good Thai food. We got good Thai food in the Valley. There's plenty of amazing food. I am being, yeah, that's why I'm very specifically calling out the lack of like good pizza. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, I will say I haven't really had pizza that's like horrendously disgusting. But like, it's just all of it's like very mid. And then the couple places. is that people recommend to me that they're like, well, okay, if you're that bougie about it, like, try this place. Like, everyone's telling me their favorite place, and I go and try them, and almost all of the ones that I get recommended that are, like, good, good are on the east side, more like Highland Park, you know, so we're, like, in the history areas, which makes sense. There's a lot of cool restaurants over there. And so I've tried pretty much all the ones I've been recommended, and they have been better

than, like, kind of the average accessible pizza in the valley, for sure. and they're good for what they are. But again, for me, it's not just about the pizza itself. It's like the specific style. Yeah, yeah. And it's really hard. Like, not a lot of places do it like wood fired in L.A., which is surprising.

I'm just like, but why? Yeah. I was so hoping that when you were like, there's this one place in Louisville, that it was going to be Papa John's. No, no, I don't have a funny story about Papa John, though. It's not even my story. I feel like everybody from Louisville does.

Wait, about John Schnaeder, the CEO? Yeah, yeah. Wait, what do you got? The Papa himself? It was, so it's this, my partner who's like born and raised from Louisville told me this story because he like knew one of the people that was involved in this incident apparently. But John Schnaudder like owns this whole like little like neighborhood in the like rich area of Louisville. Like he just owns like all the land and like so he's and he like lived there for a while.

I don't know if he does anymore, but he used to ride his bicycle all around that area. And so it was like the last day of school and these teenagers who had just, you know, like driving down the road, I think they had like literally last day ever of school, like last day of 12th grade. And they were just goofing around. And one of them was like, fuck, fuck this. We're finally done. And he like tossed a textbook out the window. But John Schnauter was like riding his bicycle in the center.

And he just got fucking like, like shit bagged off. off his bike by this big, big high school tax book. And apparently he, like, was good at press charges. He eventually didn't actually, but he, like, wanted to. And he was, like, threatening these teenagers because he thought, he was, like, trying to say it was, like, a hate crime. But it's like, they didn't know that you were John Schnaudder. Yeah, exactly. They were targeting you.

They just threw the book out. They just didn't see you on a bicycle. He's like, oh, what a nice day. Boof. Ah! I love it so much because I don't like him and I don't like his pizza. Apparently, you can suck it. I've heard not great things.

Yeah. We'll leave it at that. Yeah. What is something from your search history? Okay. Typical dog mom, right? I'm constantly Googling, can my dog eat blank? Today, it was idly, like the South Indian food.

I was like, can dogs eat idly? What is idly? It's like, I don't even know how to describe it, but it's delicious. It's South Indian. It's made from like lentils and stuff, like a rice and other things. But it's really good. If you haven't been to a South Indian restaurant, you got to go to like an Oedipis or like a woodlands or something, get you some idlies and dosa, some good breakfast comfort food. Okay, okay.

Yeah, wait. Is this kind of like dosas? Yeah, you make it from like kind of the same batter But it's like in a different format But yeah, it's delicious And I had to my big dog liked it And my little dog wouldn't eat it Until my little dog saw the big dog eating it

And then he was like, okay, I'll try this You don't have to talk about Jack and I like that We don't when I recognize big dog Hey my big dog right there My little dog right here My little dog's a yapper, you know He's always He's a yapper

You got the yapping on 10 Yeah. Get it, Miles, get it. So it is safe. It is dog safe. It says it's dog safe. I don't know if that's just Indian people being like the dog's family, give it to idly. Like, I have no idea.

But they ate it. But I'm constantly Googling, can my dogs eat this? And I'm like, Googling the same shit twice. The dogs are just staring at me, like, let me eat it. As long as it is plain idly with no masala or chutney powder on it. Because the candy is like garlic and onion and stuff. And, you know, we use that seasoning. We like our seasoning, you know.

I don't know. Every time I've had Indian food, it's very, it's very dull. Very dull? Put us in a breakout room. Just give me five minutes a long. Holy shit. I'm not, do you guys use spicy? I don't know.

There's a spicy sort of, okay, interesting, interesting. I mean, yeah, it could use some mayo for sure. Oh, God. That really hurt my feeling. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry, cream cheese, okay, cream cheese. I like to mix cream cheese and velvita. Like, I'm just saying the stuff would fit really nicely into a casserole. Little cream cheese, little velvita, we're sprinkling corn flakes on top.

Is that a thing? We're putting it into a casserole dish. I'm learning so much about Midwestern cooking. Shout out to Midwestern culture. I know salads aren't salads. I know that's true. Whenever I have a, yeah, whenever. Whenever I have a Vindaloo curry, I always have to put, like, Thousand Island on it just to kind of bring the flavor out of it.

It was, like, genuinely disturbing. Like, it really is a bad thing. I was like, it's even hard for me to say that. It's like a horror movie. It's going to be like smile, but it's like curry. And it's just like, thousand island. I need mayo chup on this. Chicken tika masala casserole is one of my favorites.

So you actually just take a block. of Philadelphia cream cheese. You melt it. You put the chicken teakomassala around it, and then it just like kind of melts. It's mainly cream cheese. You know there's some white bitch on TikTok who married into an Indian family

and is already making these recipes. Exactly. Her cousin married into an Indian family. And it's sorry with the bindi. She's like, look, I'm exotic. You're going to love my four alarm beef chili doll. She's putting like Indian oils in her hair. It's like fully dripping.

She doesn't know what she's doing. Staining all her clothes. All right. What is something, Paula, you think, is underrated? Underrated. Personal space. My God. I feel like there's too many.

I feel like we have too many. The housing crisis is just pissing me off. I have too many friends who are like, yeah, I'm living with a nightmare. And I just have to do that in my 30. and 40s. And I'm just going to deal with that because of rent. And I'm just going to go home and hate every second of my life. So I feel like we got to, we got to do something. There's too many, like all the, everybody's inside when it's like super hot. And it's, it's, it's just everybody's

stepping on each other, you know? We need more personal space. We talk in roommates. We talk in exes that they're still living with. I know you drew this from. When you have to live with an ex, that's, like, I feel like you should be able to go to, like, court and bring your ex and be like, see? I got to win this case against my landlord, because look at this guy. Just gestures broadly in his direction. This is why I should also get the same grandfathered in rent that my ex does, because I got to get out of here, please. Yeah. I knew people, actually, when I was in NorCal, I knew people.

who lived in the same house because they were they were like divorced but they had a kid so the kid got or the same apartment so the kid got the one they had to share a bed I was like that is too much we can't do this hold on the divorce couple shared a bed shared a bed because they only they could only afford a two bedroom and they gave their their kid who was like a teen their own bedroom and then they had a share a bed and I'm like one of us has got to die I'm like, there's no way. Any time your justification for your living situation is, well, in Willy Wonk and the chocolate factory, that family was able to do it, make it work.

So I don't see why. I feel like all the grandparents had like a toe fetish. That's my theory. Yeah, yeah. Just kind of looking at. Oh, yeah. They were just tickling each other's toes with their toes? Were they head to toe?

Like, were the other, weren't they feet to feet? Like, could one of the grandparents just licked out, like, reached their head over and, like, got a lick of the other, like, mm-hmm. I think bed, I think the, I think the. Foots of the bed were pushed together. So it was like, they were toe to toe. Yeah. Is how I remember it. Oh, I thought they were in like the same day.

No, no, no. They could have, they could have, they could have been sucking toes at night. Oh, they were head to toe. Look at this. Yeah. No, but they're definitely, oh, I see. They're stacked like. Grandpa Charlie could have been fooling around.

Yeah. Yeah. Under the blankets. So one person, they're stacked like head to toe kind of. Yeah, yeah. like foot in the armpit of the person next to you, essentially. At that point, if I'm in a bed and you're near my foot, you got to massage it. I'm sorry.

Yeah. What are we even doing? Not even sensually, but just, you know, just give me something, some pressure along the arches or something. Give me some arch presh. Yeah. This is the planter fasciitis agenda. That's right. Big planter fash.

Big fash, you know. Zell, what's something you think is underrated? Underrated? Blade. Eric Brooks. Hell yeah. The Daywalker. The most underrated Marvel character there is.

And Blade has already had a successful trilogy of movies, as we all know, when he shows up in the comic books, he is the most beloved character. And Disney refuses to give him an update, and it is killing me. Yeah. Like, as a black kid who was into punk in the nine. Langeese. Blade was this Afro-punk icon. He still is. If you really think about it,

he did not fit in with the human world or the vampire one, but it was confident. And biracial black people. And there you go. That's where he was like, oh my God.

I saw it and he does both. Yo, yo, he was confident, he was self-assured, and he stood up for what was right. Yeah. And I want this movie to happen so bad. And every time there's a piece of news about it,

it looks less and less like it's going to happen. Wait, so what's the last thing? It was like, Marhershala Ali was rumored to play Blade, right? Not rumor. Not one. Don't do this, Miles. Oh,

because they're trying to treat us like we all dream this shit. It happened. I was at Comic Con 2019. I was not at all age. Okay, that's right. That's right. Then what happened? So where are we at now?

Where are we at now with this? So right now, there have been, I believe, six writers who have touched the script. They are not happy with it. And Mahershala is currently out here doing a press junket for Jurassic Whirl acting like Comic Con 2019 did not happen. It was not a fever dream rehearsal. We know it. He's like, I don't know. And Kevin Fuggie, he keeps saying that he's committed to it, but it is real quiet in these streets.

And as a black writer of TV and film, I feel like rumors would have been something I could at least attach myself. And let me be clear about this. About every six months, I ask my agent if they have heard anything about it to the point where I think if I ask again, they will talk about dropping me. Yeah. They're like, hey, Zelle, do not bring up blade.

Do not, what do you want? But do not bring up late. I do not understand why there is all this money, all this, all this money on the table. Like, just people hungry for this shit. And Disney, well, my thinking is, It's like the thinking there is always like everything's got to go back into the Avengers. And it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Day Walker needs to be his own separate thing. You need, you need Hannibal, Kane. You need, like, Sony did something with Morbius, so he's probably out of the table. But like, not everything needs to be, you, there is a dark Marvel world, and I just don't, it breaks my heart. Yeah. So, like, it's like the same way they're trying to figure out Star Wars and then finally figure it out with Andor. You know? Yes.

And they're trying to, like, what are we doing? Like, this texture is just a little bit different than from everything. It's like, that's what, guess what, bro? We're all older, bro, and we're all dead inside. We need that, we need that shit reflected back to us in the fucking media we can do. Not like, oh, okay, me, like, nah. Fuck all that. That was, that was jar, jarring.

That was a very condensed jar jar, yeah. We knew who. That's what it should have just been to begin with. It was a little BB8, too. I've never, I've never seen Star Wars. Is that not the Han Solo that kids keep? talking about shooting people with, or what? No?

No. Zell, what's something you think is overrated? And you'll appreciate this, Miles. Video game controllers. Fuck. Video game controllers are overrated. So I did, I listened to your talk with my buddy Tochi, and I heard you bring up that your hands are hurting. And I think that it's, do you, you play on a PS5 controller, I'm assuming.

Your hands are hurting? My, I have like a, I have a very specific dull pain at the base of my wrist. That's not quite my metacarp. okay right right right right right whatever it's the outside i'm sorry to hear that i was just making sure you're okay okay sorry yeah 10 is sorry for interrupting yeah but like it's i the ps5 controller and i and it breaks my heart to say this because i am i'm a sony pony i love i've been in the console wars for a long time yep the ps5 controller is terrible like it is way too heavy for long gaming sessions like if you pick up a ps5 controller in one hand and hold a ps4 controller or any

previous PlayStation controller in another hand, you will definitely notice the difference and, you know, there was all the talk about like the haptic feedback when it came out in like 2020 and now... That's more strain on my hands. Yeah, after five years, I don't care about the hat. You know, Tochi was talking about like the graphic fidelity and how that's gone crazy.

It's also, we've gone crazy with like, oh, it needs to shake. No, it doesn't. It's a, it's a thing in my hand. I don't need a fucking speaker on that either. I love that. I don't need a speaker on the controller. Like, it was cool and I was like, oh, look at this little fucking making little door sounds and shit. But And now I'm like, shut the fuck up.

Like every time it's making stuff. So, like, now primarily, not primarily, if I'm, some games I want to play on the PlayStation, some game, I have a computer that I use for editing stuff, work, and stuff. But it also plays games. And I, it also uses a PS4 controller. And I think that's great because, like, I can go back to the nice light controller. I play fighting games. I play Street Fighter.

And that, it's like, it's kind of better for my hands and for, like, long gaming sessions. But, like, even outside of, like, the regular controllers, like, we've gotten to this place where in the fighting game community, every year there's a different level list controller that costs like 40 cents to make, but for some reason cost $300 to buy. And it is just, we kind of did it. The PS2, I think, was, I don't remember if the PS1 had dual shock, but like if the PS2 had, okay, PS2 got it. It was great and it worked for literally two decades.

Yeah. Still good. It was great because they're just like, remember the PS1 controller, we just put two little joysticks underneath pretty much kept the same shape and by the way like don't don't pretend like we didn't notice the the $15 upcharge you did on the PS5 controller between that and the PS4 controller don't don't we know what you're doing now yeah selling we appreciate that you got to make a buck but like at this point if you literally just made a PS4 controller that worked on a PS5 and called it like an anniversary edition I would and sold it at the same price I would probably still like that

exactly I'm there for it all right well those are great let's take a very break and come back with some news, including... Dude, maybe Jeffrey Epstein is like a fucking good guy, dude. He might be a patriot. He might be a fucking straight up T Brady, T12, TB12, fucking Patriot, dude. He's a certified lover boy. Exactly. And I don't know anything else.

And that's it. And that's all he is. I mean, maybe convicted pedophile. Oh, whoops. All right. We'll be right back. Ah, come on. Why is this taking so long?

My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Well, wait a minute, Sam, maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.

Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. According to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet.

So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.

Apparently the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and Order Criminal Justice System is back. In Season 2, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop. Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What is something you think is underrated? Shirley Temples. That's my go-to drink. Absolutely. You keep grenadine in the home? Oh, yeah. Like, that's the first, if I'm in an establishment,

that's the first thing I ask. You don't have any grenadine? Do you keep grenadine in this fine establishment? You don't have no grenadine in your sorrano? Like, yeah, exactly. That's, that's, you're not. They're wildly underrated. I haven't ordered a Shirley Temple in a long time.

Is it a pretty, like, what do you hit? What are you batting about, like, 50-50 on dining establishments with Grenadine? Or is it, do most of them have it? Most of them that I've been to have it. Maybe I've just gotten lucky. That can also be the trick. But yeah, you get it, and you get that Marasino cherry right on top. That's how you know they're taking care of you.

Oh, yeah. And do you tie the stem in a knot with your tongue? Are you able to do that? You can do it? I am able to do that. I can't do that. Was that like your fun fact on the dating apps? Was that you?

No, that's how you was kicked off of dating apps. I actually put that on my resume. Is that inappropriate? I'm like, dude, I'm hitting you up for a job. And they're like, why are you handing me your resume right now, Jack? Just wanted you to see that top line item. Yeah.

It's like Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, tongue-tying Marichino-Chair. Marisito cherries. Takes me a while, though. Yeah. Like a week. I had a cousin show me that trick. And then what I did, I remember doing this on a date. I snagged an extra one.

I pre-tied it and I put it in my mouth. And I went like this. But then I had to go for so long with the other stem in my mouth. Because I didn't want to be like, because I was like across from this person the whole time. That I just ended up by kind of chewing it and just like eating it. And I was like, this is not worth the lack. Oh, because it was hidden. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, because I had that shit stage and I said, oh, watch this trick. First of all, my date, so unimpressed that I immediately was like, this was such a fucking L, dude. What are you fucking, what have you gotten yourself into? I think it was impressive. It's like mainly impressive to like 12-year-old boys. That's when I worked really hard to get good enough to do it.

Oh, so you put your 10,000 hours then. I put my time. Yeah. Literally. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I do love a Shirley Temple and then the COLA equivalent where you put Roy Rogers, Darth Vader. Darth Vader. Someone called that a Darth Vader. You know, regional. I think when I was in Dayton, Ohio, we called it Darth Vader's. Wow. That's

kind of dope. Because we didn't give a fuck about Roy Rogers. That goes hard. I'm not going to lie. Yeah, let me get a Shirley Temple for the lady and me. Yeah, I'll have a Darth Vader. Yeah, actually, make that a double vade. Let's call that a Darth Mall, dude. Let me get a Darth Ball on that. Let me get a Darth's the double. What's that?

Let's get a double. Darth Ball, three fingers. Three fingers of Grenadine. Three fingers of Dean and a little splash of cola on top. Yeah, let me get a straight grenade, bro. What's that? Just Grenadine in a cup. Pound that shit.

Hold the Dean. Just a Grenady. I am realizing also that that is still my freestyle machine order is the Coke Zero with the cherry sauce. Oh, oh, right, right. Yeah. But that's like a cherry Coke, though, versus a straight Vader. You know what I mean?

Yeah, yeah. It is. But they have some bright red syrup that's going in. Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's definitely not Grenadian, but that shit is like a unnatural, like, redder than code red. Yeah. It will stain black jeans If you get it

This is radioactive Yeah No, you drink enough of that You're going to turn into a ninja turtle That's really Yeah, well How that turns out Don't tell 40-year-old me that right now

Your mouth to God's ears I need that ooze That's right Can I get that with a side of ooze What's that? Uzo Just a shot of Uzo Chris Crofton, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?

I was going to recommend this channel on YouTube called Hezakia News. I don't know if I ever mentioned it to you guys before. He Z-A-K-Y-A and this person digs up like some pretty, pretty like, I don't know where they get this stuff. Because I'm like all over this. You know what I mean? Like I'm like, as far as I can tell, I'm on the hunt for this. sort of stuff and then somehow he got footage of a playboy mansion party oh good god like basically b-roll like not narrated just like a brightly lit video camera walking around during a playboy

mansion party in 1983 and including a shot of the buffet and boy oh boy if you ever thought that the playboy mansion was anything more than a nasty pimp's house yeah then you you are are going to be disappointed when you find out that this place is so fucking sleazy and depressing. It's unbelievable. It's just a bunch of charmless men making sex jokes while these helpless, you know, 19-year-olds have to stand there wearing geometric print dresses because it was like, you know, 1983.

That's the only fun part is like seeing what they're wearing stuff. There's like a person who looks like they did so much cocaine, their nose melted off. Yeah, yeah. And then there's some lady that comes in that looks like actually. actually like a cocaine gargoyle of some sort and then and then there's but my favorite footage of all is just the buffet

the buffet is just like you don't want to go back in time like I sometimes think like man I should have man I should have been born at a different time you know back when you could get you know I don't know what I just imagine like a simpler time but then you look at the like the buffet and you think

geez man that broccoli looks wet he's got it all That broccoli looks like, that broccoli looks wet, and it looks like it's been wet for 48 hours. Everything that's on that buffet has had the shit cooked out of it. Yeah. These people were eating some wet salmon. I mean, it's not that much different than now, actually. If you go to one of those kind of, because I've catered, if you go to one of those, like, those dinners are still, like, just wet vegetables cooked by angry motherfuckers.

Yeah, this dinner is wet, bro. And it loses its structural integrity. Yeah, and I've been behind the scenes, because they're like, everybody in that kitchen is like, fuck these fucking people. I just love 80s cuisine. One thing just looks like a serving dish just full of hot lemons. Yeah, yeah, totally hot lemon. You got to have some roasted lemons. Dude, I used to work for Playboy.

Actually, like, and Jamie Loftus and I both overlapped working at Playboy around the same time. And I used to go to the mansion to, like, shoot stuff because I worked on the video team. That place is the gross. The fucking energy in there is so fucking wild. And for me as a kid, you know, born in the 80s, you're like, the fucking Playboy, And I went and I was like, this place smells like shitty grandpa house. It like, it's, it was like, I mean, obviously it's been sold off now and probably close to being demolished or something, but it stunk too.

Like it was, you're like, oh, this place was fun 37,000 years ago when the before American people arrived on this continent. Oh, my God. Well, you realize that every single man in there is, I mean, anybody who hung out the, at the Playboy Mission, they weren't hanging out to hang out with Huff. They were hanging out, like, specifically to bother teenage girls.

Right. I mean, they were there, like, everybody in that video looks a little bit like, why is there a fucking camera here? I mean, there was a little bit of that. They're like, who are right? I mean, they were all kind of like, ugh. Like, but some of the guys are drunk enough,

they're drinking, like, white wine. You know, it's going to be shably of some sort out of a humongous barrel. Like, everything was labeled. Shabbly, even the red wine. Wow. You want some Shabbly? This is red.

Yeah, yeah. It's red Shabbly. Whatever. Okay, I got to go talk to. You found it. Anyway, I'm just glad that, you know, someone put a camera in there so people can remember that even though the world's about to end, at least we have, like, less wet buffets.

Yeah. We're not serving hot lemons to sex criminals. At least our sex criminal parties are like charred, have charred broccoli now. have a charred broccoli rob and that's grilled caesar salad i guess like i'm wrong though because there are what am i saying like there's like ditty parties and stuff they're the same thing this was just like i don't know everyone in there looks like they work at all the men look like they work at radio shack and all the women look like they they skate for ice capades and it's like it's before a time when like everybody had like a famous interior decorator doing their millionaire

mansion, so it just looks like a house inside. It looks like a Hampton Inn. Yeah, it really does. It looks straight up like an Hampton Inn. Serving hot lemons and like awkward sex innuendos from Radio Shack, guys. What's something you think's underrated? Not seeing

videos of the Playboy Mansion from Nighting. I'm just kidding. Fair, fair. I'm not doing. But thank you, Haskaya News, for demystifying the Playboy Mansion. It's showing it for the foil, the hot foil filled with lemons. nightmare was.

Andrew, what's something you think is underrated? Calling people, you know? On the phone? Yeah, it's very easy to text someone, you know, but I think if there's a friend you haven't talked to in a while, you haven't seen in a while, just give them a call, talk for five to ten minutes. I think it's better, you know,

especially if you're not in the same city. But if I'm ever on a drive or something, if I have like an hour drive, I'll try to call two or three friends for my life and just chat for five or ten minutes each. I think it's better. think it's good. Do you, are you ever up front? You're like, hey, I'm kind of stuck in the car seeing what's up. Or do you just kind of let it roll? Because I've done that too with friends.

And without having to give that like sort of caveat, it's, we just end up talking for a while because I'm like, what's up, dude? And they're like, oh, what's up? And then you just start talking about some shit. And then I'm like, and then at the end I'm like, hey, sorry, dude, I got to where I'm supposed to go. You're going to go. Yeah, your time's up. Well, I do have to let you know that they are probably aware that you're in a car the whole time. I think it's pretty obvious when you're talking to someone. a car. Yeah, when I'm screaming, too.

Yeah. The horn is honking. This fucking guy. What the fuck? Doesn't allow to use a goddamn blanker. I just think a nice little random phone call whenever, I mean, whenever I get a phone call from someone I haven't talked to a while, it's nice. Yeah.

That's why I loved that, uh, that I don't know if it was like white people were doing it too, but it was like definitely on black social media of calling your boys and saying good night to him. Oh, I saw that. I saw that. And that was just so good because like, what's up boy though? What's up, man? Like, I just wanted a call to say good night.

They're like, what the fuck? But then you got to see how, like, their friends work is, yeah. Yeah, yeah. There was one I saw that was like Martin Scorsese. Like, he was calling someone or like, oh, he was to say a name. Yeah, like his granddaughter got, you know, she like gets him to do all the, all the social media trends. She got him to call, gosh, I really forget who, but someone on his level, like a similar kind of guy. And they're like, okay, hi, okay.

Robert De Niro. I think it was Robert De Niro, actually. I think it was either of the reversal. Marty. Yes. It was Robert calling Martin or Martin called Robert. That's exactly what it was. I love the idea of his granddaughter stumbling upon like a prop and like as if in the dusty closet.

She's like, when I put grandpa in my videos, people fucking lose it. I didn't realize people like grandpa so much. It's so random. He like made some movies or something? Like I met there other videos, she's like, look at grandpa's eyebrows. Look how long the eyebrow hair is. This is my grandpa. This is Grandpa Marty said hi.

Okay. Someone comments, I think he's famous. And she's like, oh, my God, I didn't know. Hardy Scorsese? So far, all of your takes have been about going analog, using a phone for talking on the phone. And then when you said surfing, I thought we were talking internet browsing.

But you do the old-timey surfing. Hell yeah. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Right now, because I'm about to do IVF, my last church history was, how much come in ejaculation? Because let me tell you. How much come in is. I missed you, Tam.

I missed you, too. We did this thing called IUI a couple weeks ago, which is like a life. Too shy? He's shy? Hush, hush. I. It's like a low-key IVF where they shoot. My husband's come directly into my wherever it goes via a hose.

Impossible to know. Yeah. So like livestock style. Yes, exactly. And it's like cheaper than IVF. But my husband went to leave a load and he fucking didn't aim right. And like half of the cum didn't go in the cup. Which I'm like, you had one job literally.

I have to do all this stuff. And so he lost half the sperm. So I wanted to know how much come in agenulation. And it was, it's 300 million. So many. That's how many sperm? So many. Cerm in ejaculation.

There's so much comes. Is there like, are there higher and lower concentrations like in the semen? I'm guessing too, because like you could probably, the volume could be high, but the sperm in there might be, you know, might not be crowded. They might not be packing that club out. Mine just got one big one. Fucking tad. He's feisty as hell.

I mean, we're halfway there with this one, man. 300 million is so wild. He, I only got a hundred and fifty million, which feels like a lot still. Seems like plenty if you ask me, but I... Imagine I have a hundred and fifty million babies. That's how that works, right? One egg, but 150 million sperm, 150 million babies. When I do think about, like, the number of sperm and, like, there's got to be bad ones in there.

I'm just like, man, having kids is such a crapshoot, you know? Because those aren't all identical, I don't think. Maybe they are. No, there's some, like, slow ones and some fast ones or, I don't know. It's also a big plot hole in Back to the Future, if yet. Because, like, any change that he made, like, would have all. altered when his parents, when his dad came inside his mom. And, like, even if it was at the exact, even if they tried to do it at the exact same time,

it's like, you have to assume that the same of the 300 million sperm going to make it for you to even exist. Otherwise, it's going to be somebody who looks totally different, you know? Yeah. Hey, I saw the opening of, look who's talking. I don't know how they should go. Exactly. That's exactly my reference.

Right. That's my reference. It's going to be me. it's going to be me. It's going to be me. It's so stupid, but I was like, that's how it works. That's what I think about. It's like the, like, sarcastic sperm and the, like, Danny DeVito's sperm. Well, I hope the sarcastic sperm makes it. So they don't all have Bruce Willis's voice? No, it was like a bunch of different vibes. There's like a bunch of different ones vying for it. But then some of them have Bruce Willis's voice, I think, in the second one, when baby ends up being Roseanne Barr.

So, like, what's going on? isn't Danny DeVito one of them or am I making this up? That's a different movie. Was he one of the pets in Look Who's Talking Now? Entirely possible. I believe that's a plot of Look Who's Talking Now, which is the one about pets. Because there's Look Who's Talking 2 with Roseanne. Then there's Look Who's Talking Now When You Have the Animals, who are voiced by Danny DeVito, exactly, and Diane Keaton.

Oh, wow. Wow, what a movie. I need to re-watch them back to back tonight. I remember this shit? And there was like this whole like Christmas plot because he's like the private pilot in this one and he's trying to get home and shit in the snow. Is John Travolta the dad?

Are not the... Yeah, John Travolta is the dad... In Christialli. In the second. So Travolta's dad of Roseanne, but dad of Bruce Willis baby is somebody, like some guy that she was just sleeping with

who was like, I'm going to leave my husband. or leave my wife for you. Oh, and he's the cab driver or something. He's the cab driver who's getting her to the hospital when she pregnant. What a brilliant film. So good. I mean, it's Amy Heckerland.

The podcast, Blank Check is just covering the career of Amy Heckerling. And they just went through these. Those movies were massive and totally memory hold for me, except if I'm trying to picture sperm on their journey in which is the number one. like iconic image that's in my head. It's like, damn,

they really did that in a children's movie. They opened with the journey. Was that a children? That wasn't a children's movie. It was a family friendly. I mean, I was watching it as a child.

I watched that shit. I went and saw that in the theaters as a child. And my parents definitely got me the tape. So, yeah. I just remember when he was fucking with those like New Mexican

like Cuccino dolls or some shit and he was breaking him his shit in the office. He was like, fuck this thing. There's a baby. And Albert's like, That's my, oh, my, my dolls, anyway.

89. So I saw it when I was like eight or nine, maybe 10. So, yeah, that's, I was seeing that in theater. I was five. Yeah. And you were still watching. I didn't know what the fuck was going on. Yeah.

I was born in 83, so how old was I? You were like six. Seven? Just can't do basic. Yeah. It's okay. None of us can. Yeah.

All right. Well, that, that was a fascinating. tour through the reproductive system. What is something you think is underrated? Getting fingered. I feel like it went out of style. Really? It became passe.

It became passei. Or for me, at least, it was like, oh, getting fingered. And the other day I got fingered, and I was like, this rules. And my other option for underrated is dill, the herb. Love it. It's so great.

Wait, okay. First of all, shout out to getting fingered. Yeah, I don't want to pass by that just to get to Dill, which. Yeah, shout out digital stimulation, you know what I, as we call it scientifically. Today on National Handshake Day. On Handshake Day, yeah. Finger a loved one, compassionately and with consent. How skill-based is that, like, just on the getting fingered?

Like, is that a good fingering is, like, somebody who is, like, skill- You know if you're doing it good. Yeah, like, what is that important? You got any tips? I think it depends on your type of finger. Like a finger that's too pointy. Right. Like an asperatu.

Yeah, I was going to lift up my hand and I just have long neck of fingernails. What about these wise ring fingernails so long? The chody or the finger, the better the thing. Yeah, yeah. You want to get figured by like a construction worker. Like somebody who works with their hands. But thumb is not good, right? No, no, no, it's great.

Sometimes. Some people like thumbs. All right. Something called me thumpel still skin. And then dill, we just like a dill pickle over a sweet pickle? Not pickle, just the herb dill. What were you doing? What did you recently do with dill?

Guys, I put it on everything now. My scrambled eggs, try a little bit of dill on your scramble. I put it on salads. It is wonderful. I need people to be talking about. it more. Wow, you really have changed. Dill and scrambled eggs. Yeah, I had to prove that I changed by giving you that second one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, deal, like just a good salad. Like, for a long time, I was under the impression that the only thing that could deliver flavor to a

salad was the dressing. And then, like, just salt and pepper really will pick up a salad quite a bit, You know, like some dill is a great, it's a great option. Dude, you know what's the ever's really potent? Shalots. Shalots. You do a little bit of minced shallot. I call me Timothy Shalot, may. Yeah, yeah.

The shallot may alter the flavor of your salad. Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm into it. Try parsley cilantro. Salantro. Salantro. Do it. I love it.

Where am I from? Yeah, where are you from? Like New Jersey. Yeah. Hey, you want some chalantro? Yeah, boss, load the taco up with onions and chalantro, bro. And somebody's salser. I am picturing that's the anthropomorphic sperm from look who's talking.

Who's doing that? Just like, load it up. Loading the taco up. That one's late to the fertilization because it's getting the... What do you mean? What's this Aguacate? The fuck is that? Chilantro lover coming through.

Tam, what's something you think is overrated? I'm going to be hated for this by both of you. But I think garlic. I fucking hate garlic. You hate garlic? I hate it. I hate the smell. I hate the taste.

I hate the taste. It leaves in my mouth. My husband came into the bedroom the other day with a smell of garlic and I kicked him right out. And that night, he had farts that smelled like E. coli. it's not right it's wrong just real quick couple things

fuck you first of all do you need to be invited in to enter a building this is just a random question it has nothing to do with your reason yeah

yes how are you looking in the mirror let me see the back to your hands real quick I'm the Nosferratu yeah yeah you're looking at them fingers chat yeah

She seemed a little, like, insecure the way she brought up pointy fingers. Yeah, I just don't like pointy fingers. Wait, but are you, like, if you taste garlic, if you taste garlic, you're like, I'm off. I can't eat this. Or you're just saying, you're just saying go on OD on the garlic is not your thing. Yeah, going OD or, you know, I can like, I'll just take it out of my recipes altogether. But it's not that I hate the taste. It's just what it does to me after.

Oh, got you. Worth it. Is there not a thing you can take to sort of help that? I don't know. Is there? I don't know. Like, my dad can't eat raw onions and he used to be able to. And he takes like some thing and then he can eat raw onions.

I mean, I'd love to know what it is. I'd love to be in the club. I think it's Beino, actually. Oh, I have beeno for it. Yeah. Try that. Maybe it's just indigestion and that's all it is. Yeah.

All right. Who knows? And then I'm like, because how are you going to eat a Chimmy Churry? Well, I don't. Guys, I don't. What the fuck. I don't. I don't, I can't.

I had a barbecue the other day and I left out a whole ass bowl of Chimmy Churry and my fucking dog went on top of the table and ate the entire bowl. You don't know. You do not know the shits he took. Oh, yeah, that's pure oil. Pure oil, like squirting hot, like so embarrassing on my walks. It was just like fly across the yard. You're like, hey, oh, cute dog. Oh, whoa, whoa.

You're going to, I'd pick it up, but I don't even know how to with this bag. I'll just lay a bag on it, like a cadaver at a crime scene. Here we go. Draw a chalk outline around it. So how am I supposed to like garlic after that? Yeah, I get it. That's fair. There are times when the garlic is coming off someone.

Okay, asshole. I know I was eating a lot of garlic last week when we were at. that happy hour. I'm just saying, like, there are times, you know, when someone's had too much to drink and you can smell them coming, like, there are times when, like, I've had too much garlic and, like, it's just like, you enter the room and you're like, whoa, somebody, you know. Yes. And yeah, I'm so, I'm so scared of smells and of smelling always that I feel like, it's just my insecurity. That's what it is. I'm always aware of my breath. I'm always aware of the stenches around me. Were you a stinky kid? No.

I wasn't. Okay. So you just had that fear just generally because you didn't want, yeah, I get that. Yeah. And my sister's the same way. We're both like, we're very aware of when someone has cotton mouth. Mm. Y'all looking at each other? You're like, we're like, cotton mouth. Fucking cotton mouth king over here. Dude, remember the cotton mouth kings? Fucking remember. I'm about to go see them tonight.

Yeah. You hear it? You see it? I feel it in my bones. Yeah. Sometimes it happens on a podcast. And it's tough. And you can hear it.

It's distracting. You can hear their mouth open. You're like, oh, Jesus. Guys, there's nothing worse. I just grabbed both my tits while I said that because it like hurt me. I did the moth last two weeks ago. Oh, you did. And I was like, I'm like, I get cotton mouth when I'm really nervous.

And they were like, well, you, we don't allow water on. stage. And I was like, I have a disability. The fuck policy is that. Because you can hear the crinkling of the water bottle. And they were like, no, we don't allow, but like we don't encourage water on stage. And I was like, I need water on stage. Like I had a traumatic

experience where I, my lips, I don't know, I made some shit up. And they put a water bottle as an Oh, that's good. They're like if, because I can talk to this, my mic, and it's going to sound like someone trying to peel apart like a fruit roll up from the plastic because my shit's Yeah, you don't want that.

Then it's just like, you know, when your lips dry up and you're like, it's like a turtle in the middle of the desert. Just those white little spittle flex at the corner of the mouth are. Oh, I write about that in my book. My aunt had that. One of my favorite TikToks is this woman, this black woman, it's just to be like, tell the people with the spittle in the corner of your mouth, do you want me to beat the shit out you?

It's just the video, and I'm like, yes. It's a disease. It is. Like, they must, it must be a problem, you know? Like, I don't know how they're not aware of it. I think it makes sense that your sensitivity to olfactory distress is what has kept you from ever being a smelly person, because I think that's what it is. It's just an obliviousness, you know, to just, like, what I'm putting out there with my mouth. Mm-hmm.

I did raise my hand in science class in seven. great and the guy next to me, I turned around and he was going, pew, but it's because, but it's because I, I was just starting to smell like armpits and I, I didn't know. There was like one hair, you know? Oh, God. Sorry about that. I was trying to find this video on TikTok when dance video came up. How shitty is it when you're in a silent waiting room and then it's just like,

oh yeah, and like, do you hear the most annoying thing? There's like, ballado, Rocky, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta, ta. like you know that video did you see that trend man that shit that shit was blasting the other day in this like silent fucking room and I was like I'm sorry the most obnoxious like TikTok noise just came out of my phone many apologies
