I didn't even know what it really was. I mean, that's a lie. But I definitely wasn't a fan. And then I went into it. Maybe I've changed. Maybe I've not. We'll talk about it. Dear Evan Hansen's a movie.

And that came out and Steph saw it. And Brett loves his new nose hair trimmer. We're talking about all of that stuff in just a little bit. It is the big thing. We're going to have a lot of fun here today. It's Steph's a Bra. It's Brett Sheridan. It's the show.

It's the big thing. We'll see you in a second. Suckus. What's up, everybody? Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the big thing. It is, that's Wednesday. Sure, why not?

And it is exciting to see you, to hear you, to talk with you, and it's exciting to talk to this lovely lady. Hello. Oh, I meant to put the camera. camera on brep. Oh, sorry, Ray. It's all right. I hate to steal your thunder.

How are you, Steph Sabraaw? I'm good. You good? Yeah, if I start yelling, it's because my headphones are really loud. Yeah. Is it super, are they really loud? What's up, everybody? Hold on, wait.

Tell me, which one are you? I forget. Oh, they're both. Yeah. Oh, that was me. Oh, there it is. Oh, it's good. Are you good?

That's a sweet spot. That's nice. Oh, yeah. So you just like that. That's why I've been married so long. He knows how to listen. I know how to listen. That's true.

It's nice to see you guys. Welcome back to the big thing. It's nice here in the SCN studio, Brett Sheridan. So, Steph got not mad at me, but she was like, you son of a bitch when I told her that I watched Visions. Yeah, I tried to be. You were mad. Yeah, there was like a moment. I was like, you watched it without me.

Yeah, right? How many times I've gotten that? But you were, but also because you were like, you don't even like anime. Yeah, okay, so I knew Christian never talked bad about it, but he's like, eh, I'll check it out if I, if I feel like it one day. And so I've been so excited because this is a big deal. It's like my worlds are colliding, Star Wars and anime, and I feel like they did it in the most perfect way, like collecting all the best Star Wars anime studios in Japan, and not Star Wars, anime studios in Japan. So that's the kind of stuff that I know nothing about.

Which is great why I'm glad you're on the show. There's stuff that I definitely didn't cover in my review. had you been in it, then you would have been like, well, actually this, this, this, this, and this. So as you say, you know, I, yeah, you would just say, if I watch it, I watch it. That's legitimately how I did my review. Up until I got a screening link for it, I think, like, I don't know, what was it? A few weeks ago, and I was like, I don't know if I'm really going to check this thing out or not. I haven't been very excited about it.

It looks cool, but I'm not an anime guy. It's not that it looks bad. It's just, I'm just not an anime guy. So I asked the fans, I went to my Facebook page, and I went to, and I said, do you guys give a shit what I think about, about this at all? And they're like, yeah, you know, and the guy had a great answer. The one guy, he's like, if you care, if you want to do it. He's like, if you want to watch it, then that's it, don't do it because that was kind of my whole basis of things. I don't want to review anything that I don't give a shit about.

So I watched the trailer again, and I'm like, it looks like it could be fun. And it is fun. It's like the stories, the mythology that's there is awesome. The anime is the anime. you're not going to become an anime fan from watching it. You know, it's like there's still, it's still stuff that I'm not going to start watching anime just because I like Star Wars Visions.

I, there's, and the voice cast, listen to some of the voices in this thing. Lucy Lou, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Tamora Morrison, Neil Patrick Harris, Allison Brie, Kyle Chandler, David Harbour, James Hong, the great James Hong, and Henry Golding are just a couple of names inside of this thing.

Yeah, it's stacked. Yeah. They really went all out for a lot, in a lot of Asian American, actors that get to do it. So that's really equally cool. But I'm curious because obviously we watch Bad Batch, that's a different form of animation.

But how did that hold up in terms of how much you enjoyed the viewing? So it's tricky because if you ask me which stories I liked better, this. No question. The tricky part is that Bad Batch is canon. This doesn't try to be canon because it's almost like the multiverse in Marvel, right? It's like there's these side stories. You go into it, like there's, sometimes they talk about separatists, sometimes they talk about the empire,

sometimes they talk about thousands of years after the Jedi have been extinct. It's like you just go in with these separate side adventures, and they blend Japanese culture inside of the samurai stuff is what Star Wars was based on. Totally. And Westerns. And Westerns. No, no, you're right. That's my rogue.

Yes. And all of that is in that, right? And then there's stuff with like the twins and like, oh, is that Luke and Leah? No. But we relate to it so much because we've seen it so much. It's really, and they're short. They're like anywhere between 12 and 20 minutes each one. Oh, yeah.

Easy. Easy. So I would, I think, so for, like, if I was telling Brett, like, who probably wouldn't have checked this thing out before. I remember reading about it and just talking about it and knowing that, yes, they were using a lot of top anime people to work on this and that was really cool. And I thought just because it was Star Wars, you'd be into it. But, you know, so you, you weren't because it wasn't.

canon and it wasn't part of the story. That was what was keeping you back a little bit? Not an anime fan, which is part one. Part two, it had nothing to do with any of the story that happens. It's the same way that I don't really watch like droid tales or like the Lego stuff as much, too, as much as they're entertaining and really well put together. And I've laughed when I've watched them. Same reason why I kind of stopped reading the books in the comics,

because even though they're officially canon, very rarely do they play into the story. Just happened recently recently. just haven't recently with Timothy Olofan, you know, his characters from the books. That was cool. It happens every once in a while, but not as much. And so I'd like to be rewarded from some of this stuff.

I'm telling everybody they have to do that. That's just my personal preference on it. But I put that to the side because I was curious about it. My buddy also worked on it. And I didn't realize that he was an executive producer on him. My buddy James Waugh worked on it. Go off. And I went to college with James.

And he did a great job. And when I saw it. his name, I didn't even know. Going into it last night, didn't even know. I haven't talked to him in a while. So when I looked, when I looked and I saw his name, I was like, oh, I know James has a great understanding of Star Wars and a lot of, I'm like, okay, so he's one of the producers on this thing.

I'm in it even more now. But there are a few episodes I did, not that I didn't like, just weren't from me. Like there's a, there's a rabbit Jedi. I'm good. I'm all right. I'm all right without the rabbit. Jedi. Oh, I see that. I'm like, a rabbit Jedi? Tell me more. Yeah, right. If indeed. A hundred percent, the anime fans are going to lose their minds for

the Rabbit Jedi because the story, it's not like, she's not like, ho ho, ho. She's a legit character. I just, I couldn't get over the fact. It was a fucking record. I just, I just couldn't get over the fact. I'm like, I give her a carrot until he shut her ass. You know, but, but it's a cute story. Like, she's, she is adopted by this, by this fan. family years later, and they set up the relationship very well. That's what they do in this. For the short period of time that they have, they set up relationships really well in all of the stories, even the fucking rabbit story. They have, she comes, she's, she's adopted by this family. You see this relationship she has with her sister. Years later, the sister now wants to join the

empire. She is now the adopted daughter of the father who's like, no, we've got to, we've got to fight our fight. This is wrong. And they have like a clash. And you, you can't. but I couldn't get over the fact. Is it a fucking wrong? Are these standalone? Like, are they little stories? Yeah, they don't connect. You can watch.

If I told you, Brett, you don't want to see the rabbit one, skip it, you're not going to miss anything. Did you even not being an anime fan see different kind of styles and maybe you can tell definitely, oh, this was different director, different animator, different, you know. Not necessarily there because it's just because my lack of knowledge when it comes to that stuff. I'm sure Steph will. Yeah, I think visually they are. different style. Yes. I shouldn't say that then because, you know, when I, when I go back in my mind and I look,

look, look, look, so I have, I actually have some of the stuff here that I did for my review, right? So the first one that came out was, was dual. And that's, like, that style is completely different from where, where's our girl? There's a rabbit. Yeah, that's completely. So it's, like, it's completely different from this. And this is, like, this is old school, like, Kirasawa type. shit. Right? So this is, this was, this was awesome. There's a lot of different ones.

I mean, so this one's one of my favorite ones called the Ninth Jedi. They mention the, in this episode, they mentioned acolyte of the Sith. Come on, the acolyte. Right away, I'm like, okay, I know what we're going for there. This one was, this was the last one. This one's, this one's really good. This one's pretty, pretty emotional. See, that's why I love anime. That's probably the stuff you subconsciously liked is, like, their ability to tell stories in short amount of times. It was a subconscious about it.

It was a storytelling that I liked. Yeah, that's why I kept tuning in. I sat here like a slob with shoving. I don't know. I got something from The Purge. They sent me this package and they got a post. And I don't even know what, what is this? I don't even know what this is, this thing here.

This is the, this Beaver Nudges. I don't know. Do you want some? Dude, try it. These are, I fucking crushed that bag yesterday. Oh, these are,

take one. This is wrong. Take one. Steph, try one of those. I crushed a beaver nugget yesterday. I crushed it. I heard of this. Made with real beavers.

Oh. I crushed those things, slamming down beaver nuggets, watching, watching visions. And I'm like, I can't be here any longer. I'm going to destroy this bag.

So I got, through, I think, six episodes of visions. And then I went into, well, you know, help with the kids. Then last night, just put my computer on, put it on the TV, watched the rest of it. And I was, it didn't feel like work. Wow. You know what I mean? It didn't feel like work.

What a full circle. Totally. 100%. 100%. I was expecting, you know. I was expecting it to feel like work and it didn't feel like work. I liked it a lot. So Star Wars Visions.

And I think at this point, it'll already be. out. I think when does it, when does it come out today? Wednesday. It comes out on Wednesday. So it'll be, so for you guys, if you didn't see my review, is it, what, for real on Wednesday? Because we're taping this fucking thing on Tuesday, but it comes out on, on, on Wednesday, yeah? Don't ask me, this is where it always. This is where it falls down. What day is it? Yeah. It's like, Mark. Happy Friday, everyone. What? When Alice. See, I got to get the kids. When Ellis, where did they go? When Ellis comes in,

he doesn't even try to pretend. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. One time I was on with him, he's like, so like, because this is Friday and you're hearing this one day. Not even going to pretend. But think about how confusing the listeners are who are hearing it on Wednesday. Yeah. Like to them, it's like, oh, yeah, thank you. Wait, wait, wait, Brett's confused. Why?

Wait, Brett's confused. Is it, is it? Today. It's today. I recently said I had the worst thing of ever because we've all done. Yeah, more than that. Yes. We've had the, I thought it was Tuesday all day and it was Wednesday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I had, within a day, I switched from thinking it was Tuesday when it was Wednesday and thingy it was Thursday when it was Wednesday within the same day. Totally mess me up. I think I'm losing my mind. Yeah. I honestly think I'm losing my mind. I think that's going to happen for me soon because of the comedy shows and because of New York. Like, I'm taking a few days off like beforehand.

Oh, you'll be all. I'm going to be all fucked up, especially with the jet lag and all that. But I'm excited for it. I'm excited to go back. I'm working on doing 50s. 15 minutes on the 26th. So the 25th we're doing the canteena match between Mike Kalinowski and Amarimo Moses for the title. And we're also doing Robert Parker versus Saul, which is going to be a big one.

There's a third match that I'm not remembering. Oh, it's Rick Radis versus Frankie Alvarez, which is going to be a big one. Oh, that's going to be so fun. That's going to be a fun one. So those two, those two, I can't wait for those two. The last time you went up was New York. When we both did, right? That was in New York.

That was two years ago. Jesus. But I haven't done a set in L.A. in over 12. Wow. About 12 years. But like I've been doing, I mean, I would say, I'd say 60% new material. Well, just going for it. Yeah, with a lot of the other stuff.

I mean, even the older stuff is tweaked. Yeah. Like the stuff that I was telling you about and stuff that I had added. And the thing I told you this morning like that, that's like a tweaked joke from. A lot of those slug. You used to use, you can't use anymore. Can't use them anymore. I've done, but what's nice is I did the, not slurs, uh, step, but with topical things and you go

like, oh, I can't do my Elion Gonzalez bit anymore. But you could probably, that was a great joke. That was a great joke. But it's so funny that, yeah, because that kid's like 30. Yeah, yeah, but I tweaked it to a different thing. Yeah, yeah. And you could do that. So it's nice when you can keep those old gyms around.

It's true. You know what my goal is for this show? If it goes any good, if it goes any good, if it goes any good, if it goes any good, if you make good laugh, people. If you're good laugh, people, people chuckle. You know, they say, oh, ho, ho, you funny guy. Guy hat, not like. No, no, no. No.

No. I don't know what that. It's like the sausage guy came back. No, no. You can. You can do that. You want sausage? Hey, you make laugh.

But my goal is if it works out and it's a good. set does well people are enjoying it i want to talk to whether it's flappers or wherever too and i think even even if it's once a month to do like an scean live like comedy oh that would be fun you get like winston brad kate yeah you know um i would i would and and alex can just sing songs yeah yeah yeah so mix mix it up step so that's the goal you're gonna do some stand up yes i will i think you should 12 years First set, Steph told me go fuck myself and I asked her if she'd come into the show. No.

He asks on the day he knows that I have a show. I'm going to try to go. I want to go. When did you decide that you were going to do stand-up again? In L.A. or in general? In general. It's always been flipping around in there, right? Like, it's like the...

It is. You never leave the game? Is it one of those? It's my wife even said this to me the other day. It's like, she knows that stand-up comedy has always been my gummar. It's always been my mistress, right? She's just like, I just never thought she was going to come back. And, like, it always has been, but it just, I equated to Rocky, Rocky Balboa, is what I was telling Ellis.

There's a scene with Rocky and Pauly in Rocky, Rocky Six, and he's just like, there's stuff in the basement. And what basement? You know, basement. It's like, there's still stuff in there. And it's still, it's like, so when Ellis, I always, when I went to the comedy store, that's why I stayed away from the comedy store for so long. Because anytime I went to the comedy store, I started to get that kind of like tick of like you got to get back. You got to go.

It's like being in the gym. You're in a gym. But I was like, I don't know. I don't know. No, no, no, no. And then you just get back into regular life and it takes you over. But, and then every time we would go to a show for a Smodown, Ellis would always like, come on. Ellis is like my pusher.

Yeah. He's like, you know, he's like, want some? He wants some? Come on, he's cheap. And then, I don't know what it was. It was August of the 2019. God. And I was sitting at a Mets game with Dagnino.

And Ellis texts me and he goes, do you want to do a set tomorrow night? Knowing that I was going to say no. And I said, yeah, I'll do it. He said, really? I said, yeah, I'll do it. He's like, if you say yes, you're on, right? And I said, I'll do it. So I wrote a bunch of new stuff for that day.

I just did a bunch of new stuff. That was a fun show. It was a fun show. And I don't think I knew until that, like, oh, I'm going up to that. I'm like, oh, really? Yeah. Before you. Oh, go.

But you did great that night. That was so fun. And my sister, I mean, my sister had never seen me do stand up, but I cannot believe that was so long. And that was when I got the bug again. Right. And then it just always, you already had done it a couple times, though. I did Houston.

You did Houston. And then, yeah, it was like I was talking to Alice. I'm like, okay, maybe we'll do some more of these. And then that was the plan is to go. So the honest answer to those stuff is like last year for my birthday, I took the day off from work, didn't tell anybody I was doing anything. I just smoked myself silly. And I watched a bunch of my old sets, which is hard to do in general. I watched a whole bunch of old ones and seeing if there was stuff that I did back then.

that I could tweak today knowing that so different in the way that I would present stuff just talking about stuff like you know for being here doing this every three days

and being on Collider Live and smells no and it's like I've been still talking and entertaining people for years but in a different way than it was from the last time I did it

so I started watching and I was like oh that would work today if you did this this this and this and that would work and then that would work and I started and we're in the height of the pandemic so there was And I was, I was really starting to get it.

I was like, I called Ellis. I'm like, as soon as the Comedy Store opens, I was trying to get into a belly room. He's like, yeah, for sure, for sure. And they weren't opening up and they weren't doing anything. So I just started writing. I started writing more and more. And I have like a document just full of shit. And then I was like, okay, well, let's see.

And then I booked out that New York show. I was like, I'm going to do, I'll do a show with Ellis in New York. And that was the first one I was planning on doing. And then Jamie Costa called me. And Jamie's like, hey, you know, we're doing this show at Flappers. you and Mark want to do a set. And I was like, it was just random that he asked. I was like, yeah.

And wife, not happy that I just said yes right away without saying anything to. But I was like, I was like, I just got to do it. And so. It's a mistress. It was. Steph, we always talk about it. You'll be on SNL and do, you know, but if you were going to go in the live thing, have you done sketch or stand up before?

No. Or only like the, the behind the camera stuff. Yeah, I've obviously. we did sketches growing up and not like for a professional. Have you never done sketch? You should join one of those things. I know I really want to. Yeah,

that's what I would do sketch. You know why you'd be really good because you don't and you probably, you know this and Brett was in Acmee comedy there for years. Correct me if I'm wrong and don't just say yes if it's true. To me what I feel that she has is she has that no fear thing. Like even if you, even if you have it, you don't display it,

right? So you can, if we say, Steph, jump into a character, you'll try it. Even if you don't know if, but even if you don't know if you have it, you'll try it. Like, the shield comes down and then it's, that's what you need. Because if you start like second guessing yourself when you end up, I was like, all right, Steph, you're, you're at the grocery store and you're the, you're the bag checker. And you've got a broken, you got a broken hip. She's going to jump into the hip thing and she's going to do it, right? Not everybody can do that.

No. Oh, I mean, if you're, if you're willing to sing. If you're a bad singer. With that beautiful voice of your... But that's the thing. You can't be afraid to look silly. Can you sing me... Sing Brett, happy birthday place.

It's a pretty hard song to sing. That's actually a really hard song to sing. Like the whole thing. Sing happy birthday to Brett. This is actually trying. Yes, here we go. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday. Dear Brett Here we go Happy birthday To you Six cats died right outside Oh I'm sorry

I didn't turn my chair I really want to do you A little pitchy He's on the other side Have you always known that you were a bad sir No I knew after sixth grade we had a school Jubilee so you dance

You auditioned to dance and sing And I wanted to be like a Justin B You know, I wanted to book both. But you can dance. You just can't. Yeah, exactly. So I did happy birthday. Oh.

I probably sang it exactly like that. Just like that. And it was, no. And you really. And it was like, no. They said, don't come back. Don't come back. I go to school here.

Don't come back. We got to make like a super auto tune steps. You know, I just got, I just got word. I just got word from the future. Six cars crashed on the road. They heard you. They heard us. They heard us.

Okay, speaking of a car crash, let's talk about Evan Hanson. Oh my God. Now, wait a minute. Is there an embargo on this thing? No, it's over. It's over. It's over.

It's over. All right. So I have not had a chance to see it yet. I have a screening, a screener for this one that I was going to watch. But, Steph, you are, you are advising me not to look at the screener now? I don't want to say that.

I will say from the first word uttered in this film. Which is? I don't know. I laughed. Oh. I literally. And it wasn't supposed to be funny. No.

No, this is a very, yeah, yeah. Hi! How's it going? I'm so lonely. Oh, no. Oh, no. I want to show you how Ben Platt ran. Maybe I can't after.

Is it like Napoleon Dynamite? Yeah. Now, poor Ben Platt, though. He's getting a lot of heat because he's like 43 years old and he's doing this movie. He's 27. And he's supposed to be a teenager. But that's the problem. Okay, his voice actually sounded great.

I'll start with a compliment. the role he played the role in the play yeah so there's been a lot of controversy because if you don't know the story it's a high school student and there's a suicide and it's kind of the aftermath of that and in tapping into what's the controversy yeah oh oh that he okay so ben plat plays this kid who's like anxious and depressed and he has a run in with this kid who um picked up one of his letters right i know the plot of it but i know the plot is the plot is the fact that he and then he he he he he The kid signed his thing. He pretends that he's great friends with the kid.

Yes. He tells his parents. That's the controversy? Yes. It's a story. It's the story of the movie. No, it's the fact that, like, he doesn't really have consequences for that, right? You were saying, you were somebody else.

Oh, what's the controversy? Yeah. Oh, okay. That he is. You need some coffee? Drink your coffee. Hold on. Let me get some tea.

It's better. Much better. Is that caffeine? Oh, yeah. All right. Wait, what was wrong with Brady? Pink? I thought you meant the controversy.

Was it the rapy stuff? No. Oh. No, the controversy. Yes, it's that Ben Platt is not a high school student, and he's not even close to being 18. He's 28, and it's so clearly looks. And, yeah, people are wondering why he got cast for it

because it just doesn't really make sense. So they could have cast a teenager. Yeah, everyone else looks like they're in high school. Ben Platt, that's the problem. The moment it opens, it looks like an S&L sketch. You know when they do like pro-Lazac, like type depressive commercials. No one Karen and Ian Zerning did it. Yeah, that was.

of that's what. Ian Zerning was like 40 in Beverly Hills, 902 now. That's so true. But times have changed. Yeah. It just looked so obviously like, you know,

he has like normal forehead wrinkles that you get in the later 20s and the worst wig that I've seen. He's not kissing anybody in it, is he? No. Okay. He does have a love.

Does he? How old is she? She's above 20. So, but still, though. I know. Yeah,

I guess, I guess I guess I get it. He's only 27, though? Yeah, he's 28. He doesn't look 28. Yeah, I don't. Yeah, he looks old. He doesn't look 17.

I'll tell you that. But did you see the, did you see the, the, the, the, the, freaking deep fake thing? Oh, yeah, I wish it was deep faked. It was like, it was like a joke. Yeah. They said they're going to do a whole version deep fake. I was like, go for it. And they're not, at this point, you might as well.

You should. Would it have played better or was deep fake? No. The problem is everything. Okay, so tell me. The problem is everything. Talk to you know, Christian, I'm easy. You are, yeah.

I love movies. Like, it doesn't have to. The writing was bad. The, like, the direction was really weirdly cut and edited. It just felt the whole. Now, pretend you're a cartoon rabbit with a lightsaber. Yeah. It literally felt like a suicide prevention, S&L sketch.

Oh, really? Yeah, from the entire time. I, it was the first time where I was like, am I going to read the theater? Oh, you saw it in the theater, too. Yeah, yeah, it was a screener. it was it's not for me I saw it with Roxy she didn't what does she think love it but she didn't

she didn't like it okay wow because I'm usually always on the opposite side of Roxy's options that's not true that's not true um I think it's this year's cats I just uh okay this year's cats that's brutal man that's brutal I mean because cats I mean

you could see where hey you're gonna have a bunch of people dressing up and cat out of this could go bad this one this one shouldn't go bad so the music couldn't even like the music wasn't even that great to save it. You're saying it. The problem is, okay, people love this play. And so I think if you like this play, you might like it.

I found a really big problem. I found a huge issue with the premise. I, like, didn't like the story. Did you know anything about it going into it? A little bit. And then as it was unfolding, I was like, whoa. Were you excited going into it? I shouldn't say excited.

I wasn't excited, but I was curious. You're curious. Yeah. And I feel like it was. It was brutal. Oof. That's too bad. I had...

I was talking about Oscars or some shit? I think people... No one's seen Oscars in this movie. Maybe Oscar the Grouch. No, I feel like if I'm... If I was in this movie, I'm running from it. I'm not like doing press from it. Shut it down.

Shut it down. Wow. Brutal. Brutal. I was excited to see it. Again, not excited, but I was curious to see it. I kind of want you to watch the first 10 minutes. I will.

I have to watch it today because the link expires today. You haven't seen. seen in the trailers for it? I see the trailer. Oh, okay. Yeah, I knew what the story was. I mean, it looks like, you know, it's a sobby kind of a thing. People were crying.

Okay, so, like, there was... Were they crying because it was so bad or there's that? I can't tell. I was laughing a lot. Yeah. Not loud? No, no, I was trying really hard not to. But I had, I had like an edible, so I was like,

geek, geek. Do you think that affected it though? I was thinking, I was like... You were in stoned off your rocker? I thought it was, I wasn't off my rocker, but I thought... You mean, meanwhile, here's me, talking about how I was stoned off my tits writing stand-up. You're like, all I did.

All I did was get to stoned out of my face. No, that should have helped. Yeah, it should have helped. Yeah. I was going to get. Always helps to get high during a suicide film. Always brightens the mood a little bit. It'll make the suicide funny.

The joke. Yeah. I was sitting back watching the anime one and I was going to do it. It was going to smoke. I was like, I'm like, I decided not to because it was, you know, I didn't know how much time I was going to have it for the rest of the night and do it. But I was, I didn't need it for that one. For this one, the rabbit then. I would have loved the rabbit then.

I would have loved the rabbit. It's true. Probably dressed up as a rabbit as a rabbit is hollow. Get this. Get this. I don't know. Yeah. The fucking.

They had, they adopted this rabbit, right? And his sister, they got this whole, they're at a diner. The fucking rabbit's ears of going like this. And then eight year later. You want a white sandwich. You imagine for Halloween, Christian brings his daughters to school as a Jedi rabbit. And she's like, I don't want to do it. She's like, Boca Tan told me she would give me her fucking helmet.

And you want me to go as a rabbit dad. Lay off the pot. Like, listen. Yeah, this is it. This rabbit's it. Yeah. It's the shit. People cry during it, though.

So if they like, maybe there's a market that likes your Evan Hansen. I heard a lot of shit about it, though. I mean, like before, I mean, not even you. Like, there was people, I started to see, like, there was, I saw something about a controversy. There's a controversy for everything now. It's kind of, spoilery. Hey, someone farted in the back.

Oh, how do you do, forts? Forts are, forts. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't fart. Farts are the, uh, you, we got to, we got to, we got to, we got to, save the farts. Yeah, I wish that one farted. Controversy seems a little heavy, but I think it was something to do with, and it's kind of, just how it ends.

Yeah. With him, and I don't, you know, I mean, spoiler or whatever, I don't know, but like, but you know the play? I know, I, we talked about it in a spoilery way, but it's just, it, it doesn't end with like, he doesn't get any consequences for pretending to be this guy's friend, I think. It just just kind of wraps up a little too quick, but that's kind of a musical thing. You kind of, you know, you, you, just what, though, sometimes. Sometimes people don't get any fucking consequences.

Yeah. You know what I mean? No, I don't think he would have. Honestly, I really don't think he would have because this kid, They portray him as very seriously depressed and anxious. And so I think when you watch it unfold, you rationalize really, really awful behavior. And he says, like, I did the worst thing possible,

which it is one of the worst things. And that's why the whole time you're watching, you're like, I actually hate this story. Yeah. This is weird. It's too bad. I like that kid. I like them since pitch perfect.

Oh, yeah. He's going to be fine. He's so mega talented. He needs to stay off Twitter, though. I saw him like, when the trailer, first came out and everybody's talking about that. Is that my grandpa playing, isn't it? And he's, and he's, like, responding.

It's like, you got to own that. Yeah, yeah. You got to know. Like, so in the second year, like, you want me to play the character I played eight years ago? I was 20 when I played that character. You wouldn't play now? All right.

The posture, he, like, ran with his knees locking. I'm like, oh, is this just like how we're going to typecast? Yeah, it's like, go. He stands up, he's like, oh. Yeah, and it's true. And it's 28. I just imagine Brett and I were almost dead Yeah

And so 40 But you know again Mr. Hatson could you please stand up in front of the class That's right It's true What's on Netflix? My one knee hurts It just always hurt

It's always always hurt And I hurt my back parallel parking Turning actually Just turning What was I going to ask you guys Oh there's another show on HBO Max I love this HBO Max Love.

Love it. HBO Max rules. It's the best. It really is. Hacks? No, I haven't got into hacks yet, but marriage, scenes from a marriage. Oh, how is it? Fucking rough, but good.

Is it like marriage story? Ish, but different. So the one thing I don't understand from the show, and I don't understand the choice that was made, the first episode starts off with. with Jessica Chastain as Jessica Chastain. And she's walking to the set and people are masked and everything too. And she's walking in. They follow her through and you see her.

She's talking. She they hand her a coffee, whatever. It's Jessica Chastain getting ready. She walks into the thing she sits down and they go, action. And then it starts the show. And then she's the character. And then in episode two, they do the same thing with Oscar Isaac. He walks out.

How's you doing? How are you going? Hey, Oscar. He sits down. What am I doing here? I'm doing this? And action. And we start again.

And my wife said, why do they do this? It takes me out of it. And I'm like, it's weird because, like, part of me hates it and part of me loves it. Like, it's weird. I don't know. But it doesn't, it doesn't take away the show for me. Only the first two episodes did that. There's only been two.

Oh. So I assume they're going to do it every episode. But these two motherfuckers can act their ass off. They are so good. And they've been in movies before together. But, like, this is, this is next level stuff. As far as their acting goes, so it's like this couple. I don't know you can handle it, Brett.

No, probably not. But it's not, it's not like super, I mean, it's not like a lot of, it's just, that's the, that's everybody, I don't think Brett. I don't know, Brett. It's just, so, the first episode is them, you know, they establish their relationship, the stuff they've gone, how they met, but you don't see them meet, but it's like, it's, it's, they're talking to this, this girl that Oscar Isaac knew, knows from college, right? He's like, this intellectual that works from home, takes care of their daughter.

or she's like this established businesswoman who does, she's on the road. She's pained. You can tell us she's pained. They have these conversations. Something happens pretty tragic in the first one. Not pretty tragic. Tragic.

Just not, I don't want you to come up with a bunch of different things inside of your head going, oh, is that what happens? It's tragic. But then in episode two, something with their relationship goes in a different road. And it's like, and my wife and I are watching like, screaming at the television, that type of thing. Like, what do you, no, why would you make, why would you do that? Why would you say that?

Tell them to get the fuck out of here. Like that type of thing, right? And it was, we're enjoying it. And it's a testament to how good Chastain and Issaac. They're so good. She's unbelievable. She's really good. She has some of my favorite movies.

Miss Sloan. Have you seen that one? Which one's that? It's where she is a lobbyist. Okay. Oh, I know what it is. I haven't seen it. I know what it is.

You would love it. But Jessica Justine, I've just, like, fallen in love with. She's great. I think she just murders every role that she does. I need to check that out. Yeah, I mean, look, if you want to see for acting purposes, Brett, it's like, it's, I mean, watch, you watch first episode. You're not going to like, be like, it's not one of these ones where it's just like, oh, my God. It's not that.

It's not that. Well, I am watching Mr. Corman, which is a little bit of like, oh, my God. See, I've seen, I saw the first episode, we watched a little of the second episode, we never got into it. It goes like. It goes dark. No, I mean. it's like all over the place. Like there's,

there's a whole episode that's like, uh, live action. Everything's like, cartooning. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But there's one, the one we just saw that was the most recent one was like, pandemic is just kind of and nobody knows anything about it. And if you watch a show,

you will see what I went through. It's just, it's a series of him like touching a handle, washing his hands, touching a thing, washing his hands, putting stuff in the microwave to burn off. Like,

it's completely. completely me. My wife just kept looking at me like just like, that's you. That's you. Yeah. You're crazy. Still?

Or was it the beginning of the pandemic? It was the beginning. I used to be like just, well, I mean, yeah, it's, it's,

uh, I was spring groceries before I put them in my house. Yeah. You don't know what happens here. You don't know what happens in this house. Don't you, you have to have a banana bleached. It's the truth.

But to my, to my wife's credit, though, like there's certain things. She's like, goes, I know this is over the top. She goes, deal with it. And I was like, you know what?

It's a good, as long as you're aware. Yeah, I'm all about self-awareness and your kids are safe. Yeah, that's the thing. She's like, I know, this might be extreme. I know this is over the top. I know, but like, this is what makes me comfortable. I go deal with it. I was like, when she said that, I went like this.

Yep. You kept it real wifie. That's it. I constantly have to tell everybody in my family. I'm just have to say, let me. have my weirdness because if you make fun of it and you give me a hard time, it's gonna make me feel worse. Like, we go on a trip.

Yeah, it's basically with my wife's up. I have shoe bags. I put all the shoes in a bag because I don't want shoes in which I'm touching all the stuff. And so I go, everybody put your shoes in the shoe bags in lines. Like, I just put my slippers in them. Please put them in the fucking shoe bag. Just do this one thing for me.

What if she turned around? She's like, no, you fucking weird. I told you not to trigger. Don't do it. Don't do it. Okay, look, there's some, as I mentioned earlier today, Brett's in a good mood. You know why Brett is in a really good mood? Because he's got a new, lovely, wonderful nose trimmer.

Right. About how you're presenting your walls to me. Or if you do your... This is what you've laid before me? This is what you've given me? And what if you do, what if he did that? What if that's the guy, you know, he's got like a Gene Wilder bush down there. And then he looks at the after he goes, eh?

You're out the door. Nah. You are out the door. No, I don't want... needs that. Like, curly peepy. Oh,

you should also show it off, man. I'm going to show it off of this, you know, you got the, you got, again,

it's like the, uh, Gene Hackman, uh, what's, what's, what's the, Gene Wilder Jean Hackman,

hair do, you know, it's got that it's, it's, yeah, that's exactly what it looks like. Yeah, it's like, it's like, it's like a clown now.

Yeah. You know, it has a life of its own. Who needs it? I haven't had, I, man, I mean, when I was a teenager,

You didn't know. At first, you're like, uh, and then you, but you got this as a teenager. Oh, you got this tool. Come on. Get it. All right. Steph, we're going into dating, seating talk. Oh, boy.

What's going on now? This is a disaster? Well, you know, I cut my entire roster. I know. What I told you, though, the other day was, and I got to repeat this on the air. All right, because you said something about, there's a particular, I forget what it was. Tell me about this, this new guy first, and then I'll say. There's no new guy.

Okay. I'll tell you the story. Tell me the story. because this is because if you call people, if certain people do things and you call them back, you're not allowed to complain about it. I'm not calling any of these people back. I agree with you completely.

I have cut my entire roster. We're not even in draft season yet, but I went out and I had like a crazy, like two guys. I won't get into that story. Wait, wait, you can't know. What the hell are you talking about it? And even clipped out, that one sounds a lot different. Right.

There was two guys. There was a unicorn that came in, and there was a clown juggling in the background. You had a penis on his forehead. He wouldn't believe it. It's like, whoa. As long as it was him that had that. No, they were, thank God. You know.

They were English and they had like legitimate cockney accents, and that's the only British accent I can do properly, so I can do this. All of a sudden, this, like, there's... Where are you, by the way? We're in, like, Rock and Riley's. I'd never been there. Whatever that is. It's a classic Hollywood Sunset Boulevard bar.

Got it. I hadn't been there before. It brings in like a really eclectic mix of people in L.A. visiting all different age groups. This one Indian guy came up with this one white guy. The Indian guy like he honestly looked like he came out of Big Bang Theory. Okay. Like a nice guy. So you're at the bar.

I'm at the bar sitting with Roxy. Minding our business. So you guys, throughout the duration of the night guys are coming up to you. Yes. Okay. These two come up. We need a camera on these. Yeah.

Yeah. It was unbelievable. These two guys come up. One is like the Big Bang Theory like is guy. The other is a guy who is blasted in tattoos. Okay. On his face like Tyson style? Yes. Wow.

Like more than Tyson. Like I can't even see his face kind of. Right. And I was like, fuck, I do not want this person. Like he looked like. He was a nice guy. Okay. So the other guy seemed nice and he had a glass eye.

And he goes, hello. I'm Phil. And I was like, hi. And then he goes, I have a glass eye. And I was like, that's awesome. You know what, though? Opened. Open with that motherfucker.

Good on Phil. Hell yeah, Phil. It's like right away, let's not blast around it. I'm in the middle of talking and like, well, wait a minute. No, right off the bat. Here's what it is and I got shaved balls. Except that is. Hello, my name is Phil.

I have a glass of my first main point. That's what it felt like. He's not even really British. No, he really is. And I was like, dope. And then Roxy's turned around. talking to someone else, he goes, should I show her?

And I was like... Was he gonna... Like that thing? Yes. I said, no, you don't have to do that because at this point I was telling Brett, I think I told him this.

I felt like he was doing that to really like... It was the only way he felt like he could get our intention. Then I felt bad. I was like, no, we're not going to use you as a prop for humor. Good for you. So he didn't give fuck, though.

He pulls out his eye. He's been doing it for a bet. For a bit. This is his trick. This is his ghost. He brings the glass eye a centimeter away from Roxy's nose. Oh, God.

Hello. And Rox, yeah, he goes, hello, she turns around the eyes. No, this is great stuff. I got to tell you. Rocks is like, whoa. Have you told this story on air yet? I don't, I think so, or was that? That was off air, I think.

So then I'm. What is real life? Yeah, so then Rox is like basically touching it. Now she looks like a douchebag screaming at someone's glass eye because she's close. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, look, I gave Phil some props for opening with it. Yeah.

But, like, if you stick an eye in someone's face, I think that person's allowed to scream. I'm pretty sure that's in a few etiquette books. Just let you know, we had a couple of incidents. It's no longer appropriate to take your eye out and stick it in a girl's face. I know, times are changing, but it is what it is. Everyone gets complained about everything these days, Phil. I'm sorry. It's going to have to cut from your bit.

And so he is getting weirder, and he then starts kind of mind. finding his business, puts his eye back. But then the guy next to me, Colin, is like... Is this the tattoo guy? Yes, starts... He goes, um, I'm half Cuban, half white, and I was like,

oh... And I can remove my penis. Yeah, basically. He was like... Should I put it in her face? No. No. No.

All right, you're doing it? No. Okay. New rule. We also found out... Oh, no. Not able to take a detachable penis off. However, you can make a soft.

song about it. I wish he made a song about it. There is detachable penis. So then he goes, what are you, like, asking what our ethnicities are? You should have said pure Irish. Scottish. And then he was talking, and then all of a sudden just is like,

yeah, like, but I'm a trap star. And I was like, oh, cool. And then he just dropped the end. word and then like record scratch silence and then you know rocks this was the tattoo guy yes boston guy boss came out she goes actually we don't fucking do that i'm gonna need you to fucking get the fuck away from us right now i could see it immediately good for her yeah and and then but i start thinking you know like how did that guy take it he's like oops well i look at what he looks like and what he's bringing in someone dropping an n-word casually in l i'm like he has a knife like i'm

not, I'm not, I'm gonna, I'm gonna be the calmer one. Right. So I said, and I was like, he goes, what's the big deal? I'm like, you are not black and we're not okay with that. And, but have a great night. And I said, and then he just turned. And then he touches me with, and then he goes, but look. And I was like, what? He's like, don't you see my tattoos? And I was like, what are you? This isn't real. Are you insinuating that you are. black because you are heavily tatted. And he goes, of course. This is, what is this?

This is like something out of like a, this is like a bad movie. By the top, finally, because the bartender sees him touching me, they separate us. They start, like, giving us to Keel-on tap. The manager or the owner of the bar. How often you think these poor bastards have to do that, like, all the creeps have gone. I know. And he was really bad. So the bartender, so this is when the new guy comes in.

Yes. He's like the owner of the bars. He's the manager. Okay. And he is like... The owner of the manager now. See, okay. So wait. The guy... So hold on here. Okay.

So this guy who's about to come up, this new guy. He owns part of the bar. He's part... I think so, or he's the manager. See? This is where... This is where this story starts to get. What? Not on your part.

These guys, these guys knew. They had no one. They work for this guy. Yeah. He went so he walks... Excuse me. Hey, you know what we need tonight? Yeah, you know.

I see these girls at the bar. And I don't... You know what? Bring in Phil. Bring in Phil and fucking... What's the English? Golly. And bring in Phil and Colin.

You want to bring in Phil and Colin? Oh, dude. You know what happened last time? I mean, that's the point. That's the point. I think I'm going to need Phil. But is he going to do the I thing? He's going to definitely do the eye thing.

He's got to do the eye thing. All right. But, you know, Colin's been a little, you know... No, no. We need... Get Colin fucking unleashed. Dude, with Twitter. Get him unleashed.

Get him out there. And then I'm going to make the save. Yeah, sorry. So this guy comes out after fucking Colin and Phil do their thing. Yeah, after the meth lines have been done. Right. And he's like, like the Colin keeps trying to come up to us, even though like after we're like, we don't like, we are not associating with you. And he's like, I'm not trying to be gratuitous with you, the bar odor because he like was putting his like arm on my back.

And he's like, I'm just trying to like get them away. I was like, all right, whatever. They're in a cahoots. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, so then Rocks turns to me and she goes, I actually think this guy is really handsome. Uh-oh.

And you should, like, maybe, like, be okay with, like, flirting with him a little bit. And I was like, I don't know about this. Smart. I don't know about this. Like, this just, like, all felt weird. He's not really my type, but I was like, whatever. So he's a nice guy. He's really tatted as well, but not obviously face tats.

I like a few tats. But not, but not, not, uh, Colin tats. No, no. Face tats. That's, I'm not saying never, but like that way, it says something. You got to get to, where's your face? It's a commitment. It's a commitment.

And the way my parents are set up, it would be an issue. It would be an issue. It would be an issue. It just know. Yeah. And so I, but I notice he has tats, but it's dark so I can't really see what the tattoos are. Right. And we get to the end of the night and he's like, can I have your number?

I was like, we can exchange Instagram. Oh, this is this guy. Okay, okay. So this is the guy started to tell you about. Yes. Yes. Yes. So I get.

How the fuck do you. leave out Phil and Colin first and lead with this guy. You always lead with Phil and Colin. You're right. I don't know where I went on. Holy shit. Phil and Colin are just, oh my God, live in infamy forever. So finally I get home.

I see this guy's Instagram. His was private at first, so he had to accept it. He accepts it. And tell me if you think this is a red flag, because there was just a lot of things I didn't like. His name was Bronson Forever, which I get. Bronson from Bronson from the Tom Hardy Bronson?

Yeah, well, yeah, it's fine. Charles Bronson. So it was basically, I don't even know, it was like, Bruiser. Bruiser, it was about his dog. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I remember. I remember, I remember, yes. And he had been, like, really into dog concert, which I think is cool, like, adopt don't shop, I'm all about that.

But it was intense because I was telling you about, remember that your pug lady. Yes. When people, like, make their whole lives around dog, They remind me of like Tiger King type people. It's like too much of an em- Too much dogs. I scroll down and I see a photo that's clear as day.

He deep fake himself as a dog. No, it's worse. He has a big forearm. So there's a lot of surf. Big forearm, a lot of surface area, right? And I see clear as day a tattoo and I'm like, no. And this is like worse than any tattoo I could imagine. And I might be dramatic.

It's a dog with a gene wilder bush. Huge cursive, Christian, huge cursive from the elbow to the wrist, vegan. Oh, right. Yeah. Well, here's the thing with that. Here's the thing with that. My brother, my late brother was a vegan, and he also had a vegan. He also had a vegan tattoo, right?

How big? It wasn't across his arm like that. It was more for him, you know, instead. But it was, but yes, I don't understand. That's not fair. The vegan lifestyle is not for me. I think it's more of an issue of the... I don't know if this shit.

It depends. I didn't have a conversation with these guys. So you read the person, you know. Like, I can't... It's hard for me because there also the conversation could also... And I don't know. This is I just want to be devil's advocate. That maybe...

What kind of dog was it? I don't know. I don't know. All right. Let's say it was a gold. Let's let's say it's a golden retriever. All right. So let's say that there's something in this guy's life.

that this golden retriever meant so much to him. And there was so much that something that happened in his life or whatever it might be in certain reasons why he's a vegan, certain reason why he changed his life around. He did certain things and he was able to, and this dog meant everything to him. And that's why there's this pictures that you don't know. It is.

Is that why? I think what happened, yes. Then you're a scumbag. I'm a skimback. I'm just kidding. Let me explain why I think this is weird. Yes. Yeah, I do think something happened to his dog,

and I think it made him change his entire way of thinking about animals and eating animals. I eat almost 85%, 90% vegan. Yeah. My brother's vegan. I have a ton of vegan friends. I have a problem with people who make labels their existence. And tries to force it on you. Yeah, in such an intense way to like, you know, like, if I put Japanese,

at least that's my ethnicity, but that's still like, everyone, I want you to know this is how I function. And I just think it's a little obsessive. Well, there's a lot of people like that. Yeah. There's a lot of people, not just vegans. I mean, there's tons of people. Totally.

It's not about being vegan. I know what you mean. It's about claiming something. I mean, look at religion, man. Religion, people do that shit with religion. People do that with a lot of different things. But I wouldn't date them. Yeah.

That's fair. Totally fair. And did you have a conversation with them, though, is the question now. No, so he's asking. There's an assumption. I don't know yet. I don't know. I, this.

This could be either really, your instincts could be correct. Yeah. And it's cut and run type stuff. Or it is, you know, maybe you have a couple conversations and find out. But you already know kind of. My big thing always is if you know right away, I mean, even when you weren't even the one who's saying you should talk to him. It was Roxy saying it. You weren't the one who was initially like, hey, if you were initially like, well, wait a minute, this guy just saved me from.

Colin and Phil, I'm going to, uh, this guy's pretty attractive. If it was you, then I was, well, you know, feel it out just because, you know, you didn't see the tattoo. But if it was Roxy, the one who had to convince you to talk to him in the first place, you didn't even want to give him your phone number. You're looking at his Instagram. I say cut and run. But I'm just saying you don't necessarily know what the real story is. It's assumptions at this point. But it doesn't seem like you want to really know.

Yeah, I agree. Like, I do think it was in a really good at this. Yeah, you really are. It was an intense assumption of me, but it made me, it just, like, was so intense for me that I just, I can't waste my time like that if I feel like it was too much. I would just never do get a tattoo like that. And I'm not judging you if you do, because I do know there's a few influencers who have, like, a vegan tattoo every now and, like, little ones. But it just says, I don't know. It's more of a worry than anything else.

It's your, it's your, it's your, your spidey sense is going off. Yes. Yeah, you're spicy since going on because what you don't want is someone that you're not necessarily super interested in. And then you start going on a date. You're sitting there. You're wasting both your time because at that point you're sitting down and he starts getting into trying to convince you why you should be a veganist. And you're like, this is exactly what I was worried about. This is where this floss.

This is all this is about. I had my warnings. I felt it and I didn't follow it. But like, again, if it was a matter of, you know what I want to give this guy a shot because I'm attracted to him. He seems like someone that I would. then it's like we'll give it a shot but this doesn't seem like that no it feels like our basic philosophies were different i'm moderation and everything and um never say never to right well here's here's what i got this is the biggest thing i got over this stay out of that bar

yeah don't go to that bar anymore period don't go to that bar anymore because that bar did not it seemed like you were in the fucking most icely can'tina yeah star wars is what that seemed no oh to full circle yes please there's more yeah the next day yeah i'm I have a friend visiting in town. We go to dinner. We're on Sunset Boulevard. We're at night market. It's a really good Thai restaurant.

And we park the car on, or we pull up right in front of it. Her windows down. We're reading the street signs. You forget it. Like 20 years old, you just park in the middle of the street and walk out. All of a sudden, this guy sitting on the curb is saying, fuck you. To you? Just to like anyone.

Oh, to anyway. It's like coming to America style. Yeah, exactly. I look and I said, is that Colin? Oh. He was Colin. Yes.

He was calling. He was just chilling out on the floor and he wondered. Yeah. Yeah. So he shouldn't have been in that bar in the first place. Okay. Yeah. It's my favorite fucking story ever told on this show.

What an ending for that story. What an abs. Thank you, Steph. You just secured about 45 more episodes on this show with that story. Holy shit. We've secured my. fear of my daughter ever going out. I'll tell you what?

My daughter this morning was so proud of her walking by and there was some guy at the bus stop and he was, this is 7.45 in the morning. Shit house this guy. I don't know if he was homeless. I don't know. I don't know. I assume. But he was, I don't want to judge the guy.

He probably had a rough life. Fucked up. And there was an energy about him. We're walking up. And within second, my daughter goes, that guy gives me a bad vibe. Like within seconds And I'm like

And I look over and I'm like You're not wrong Yeah And then as we're waiting on the corner The guy is at the bus stop He's just moving Like towards us And my daughter's like

And it just turned And she was like she was And she's not the most observant person In the world But she's zoned in on Oh instinct Like immediately Like how did a chance

To tell my wife about it That's who my wife got Has that the creep door And like You got to It's funny You know, when I met my wife, well... She didn't have the creeper.

No, she did. Clearly not. I fucking duped her, brother. I fucking duped her. But no, I remember when I had gotten... So we always tell this story. Forrest Griffin fought Shogun Huah, right? And Shogun was supposed to win this fight.

And I wound up betting a lot of money on Forrest Griffin that day to win. It was getting... I think I was... This is not a name drop, but just a random fucking... story. I was smoking a joint with my buddy Sheldon Anderson and Josh Dumel at my friend's apartment

watching this fight. Talking about transformers to Josh Dumel and he asked me if I liked it. I said, not really. I thought you were good at it, but I said, why didn't you like it? And I said, we had this whole conversation about it, but I won a lot of money off of Forrest Griffin. He won the fight. And then I remember going to the bar after I was. At the time

I had met my wife and met her and she had been in a couple of shows. And I said, she's very attractive. And my friend Tom Connolly and Crickett told him, he's coming, he really, he's really in you. So she's ready, you know, as a woman's stuff, you hear that, and you're like, all right, so this guy's going to come in, he's going to, he's going to pursue me. So I come in, remember, I'm stoned.

Just sit. I just sit. And she's like, why, where is this person who's supposed to be talking to me? And I just sit. However, I believe that it started to get her more like, okay, what's, what's, What's happening here? Hello? So she started, so she started talking to me a little bit more.

And I wasn't trying to play like, you come talk to me. Yeah. I was just, huh? You know? And then I'm at the bar. And she comes over. She goes, I need you. I need, like, had maybe a couple conversations with her.

And my wife never does this type of thing. She says, I need you to pretend you're my boyfriend. She says, because this guy, wasn't a bad guy. She's like, and I just don't want to deal with it. And we put on this whole. front. And he's like, you got a good one, man, good for you. I was a cool guy. I remember talking to him thinking like, yeah, you know, we've been, yeah, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, cool, she's, she's a good looking lady. He wasn't, he wasn't creep. It's just a dude trying to hit on a lady.

Because remember, my wife and I talk about it, she never, she, like, that's not a thing she ever did. It was weird that she did it, you know, because with, not weird that she did it, but weird that she did it with, yeah. Considering that we're now 14 years later. But we both talk about that guy. And we're like, the guy was all right. He was doing, he was. He was He wasn't calling or Phil. Yes. It's a difference. There's a difference.

Totally. He was just, it was just like, hey, how are you? Like, I could approach you at a bar and have a conversation with you. You could just not be interested in me. Phil was that until Phil was. Until, until he popped his eyeball out. Phil, Phil used the wrong parlor truck. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, so like, and that's the thing. You just don't know what you're going to get. And that was, yeah, that was why I told you, I had this whole thing that I've been working on. That it's just like guys. And it's like, guys. There's a double standard.

Yes, there is. And it deserves it because, like, the whole, I mean, again, it's where, again, I'm going to give away all the shit that I'm working on, but who gives her shit? But I was like, but you and I had this conversation where it was a guy, and I think I've actually talked about this on the air. Guy walks into a bar and he smiles, or a woman walks in, she smiles at a guy. Or a guy walks in and smiles at a girl. It's just a smile.

She smiles back. I see you smile. Okay, great. Nothing happens. fucking girl smiles at you smile at Colin oh she wants to fuck yeah yeah say no she wants a mohito Colin let her go let her do her thing it's just like you can't you can't win it's like because if I don't smile you're a bitch I'm a bitch yeah yeah I don't know what to do on the streets I'm you know you should do you should just like next time someone you should just go
