Starting point is 00:00:37 And here we are everybody. Welcome. My voice is awful. It's gone. Is it gone? Sounds like like it's not the best it's ever it's not the best it's ever been been yelling huh i don't know it's been everywhere you're screaming at the fight screaming at the fight went to the ufc fight this uh weekend we were in vegas uh i think it just caught up it's been uh on the road nonstop doing a lot of shows. I went to bed last night.

Starting point is 00:01:08 I don't ever fall – like, I never just fall asleep. Like, I never just, like, nod off. I mean, maybe – I don't know if I ever do, really. I don't know. I've just never been someone that nods off. Harper's the same way now. She doesn't ever just – Harper's never, like – I remember going to the one Vandy game.

Starting point is 00:01:27 The only game I saw Darius Garland when I went to see him. They played LSU. And so me and Harper went, and she was probably like five or six. And all we did was end up – she would want to go to the top and then the bottom. So, I mean, I watched some of the game, and I was telling her, I was like, this is one of the best Vandy players we've ever had like about darius garland and then she'd be like let's go to the top and then we'd go sit on the very top and stuff uh but she i remember that night she fell

Starting point is 00:01:55 asleep on me like i carried her inside and like we were just sitting on the chair and she fell asleep and i was like huh it was like she just doesn't do that. And I don't either. But last night, I was like watching TV. I was pretty excited. It was like 1130. And I mean, I just was like, let me just close my eyes. And then it was like 1230.

Starting point is 00:02:15 And then I just went straight to bed. And I mean, I was out. Yeah. I have been pretty tired. And age is catching up with you. Huh? Yeah. Well, it's been a run we went to so we went to vegas this weekend uh and we did the shows were awesome uh you know my dad and nick were out there

Starting point is 00:02:34 and we had a bunch of you know a bunch of buddies come out there we uh i got a golf rich rich day we always talk about here fee now uh and so it was just a fun, fun weekend. And then it just added up. And then here you are. UFC fight was unreal. So fun, dude. Was that your first one you've been to? I went to one in Nashville, but I've never been to a big one.

Starting point is 00:02:58 I mean, like, so the one we went in Nashville when they did it here, it wasn't, it was like, I don't know if I really knew anybody on the card or anything like that, but this was the first, like, big one. And it was just, it's just so fun, dude. UFC is, it is moving. It's my favorite sport. I just like it so much. It's, they have just such big fights, and you kind of know them, and it's,

Starting point is 00:03:24 these guys are just on another level. I mean, the women fights, Amanda Nunes, she lost. It was a big deal because she's considered the best ever. Right. And for her to lose is the biggest upset in UFC history, or top two maybe. So to be there for that, and I just love how, you know, they do really good with women's sports.

Starting point is 00:03:48 You know, I think a lot of sports have trouble with women's sports. And UFC, tennis does a really good job. And then with this, women's soccer, I guess the Olympic soccer team. But then UFC, I mean, they headline events, and you're just like – I mean, it was like awesome to get to go to see that fight. And now, so, uh, the whole thing was awesome. We got a hat was with Nick. Uh, Nick talks to everybody.

Starting point is 00:04:16 It's just me. We had a split up. Uh, we had a bunch of his come. And so Laura and her friend and, uh, they, uh, they sat in four seats, and me and Nick sat in two seats. And, I mean, yeah, Nick got after it. And then he just – he talks to everybody. I mean, he's just talking to everybody around us.

Starting point is 00:04:37 But it was fun. Everybody's yelling. It's an awesome, awesome experience. And you're close. And did I see you guys ring the bell at the hockey game? Yeah. So they had me go. So I went to Vegas Wednesday, and then we went to the hockey game,

Starting point is 00:04:51 and they ring a siren for the Vegas Knights to start the third period. And so you go up at the very top, and there's a castle, and you hold it, and you ring it. And then, you know, and Nick. I just had Nick. I was like, can Nick come with me? And they go, yeah. And Nick was up there, and he was just dancing the whole time like uh it was very cool and uh

Starting point is 00:05:11 so that yeah the whole the whole experience was uh super fun and uh nick uh nick and my dad hung out a lot because i was golfing the other day so him and my dad went, and they went to the hot tub one day. And they go to the hot tub. Nick gets out of the hot tub, puts his towel, throws his towel in the thing, and my dad's like, that's the trash can. And so Nick all weekend has been throwing his towels in the trash can thinking it was the towel thing. I mean, every day, all weekend, multiple towels,

Starting point is 00:05:44 because he likes the water. Yeah. So he goes a few times a day and just gets out of the hot tub, dumps it in the trash can, and gets on his way. And they just had to. So if the wind in Vegas is wondering where some towels have gone, it is Nick Novicki, and he is throwing them all in the trash can. But it was an was a awesome awesome weekend and so now we get some uh now we get to chill out for a second yeah

Starting point is 00:06:13 i don't think start till june yeah start back up january 12th i think yeah i was uh i had some company christmas parties in North Carolina and Kentucky. I was flying home on Delta. And, of course, they have the TV screens in the back of the seats. And I'm in an aisle seat. I just assumed that they edited those shows for content on a public – I thought they did, too. I choose an episode of The Sopranos.

Starting point is 00:06:44 Yeah. content yeah on a public i thought they did too i choose an episode of the sopranos yeah and there's a scene at the strip club women just completely naked and i'm just and i'm in the aisle seat so everyone behind me can just see everything there's kids back there there's everything yeah and i'm just sitting there thinking what do i do what do i do i try to make a scene those those screens aren't as intuitive as a phone. You can't quickly stop. The woman beside me is watching a Hallmark Christmas movie. And I decided just to write it out and not bring attention to me. The scene went on forever.

Starting point is 00:07:14 The girl walks off the stage, comes over to Tony and the guys, and he's just got his arm around her. It's a really, really long scene. And I was just shocked that they allow that on a plane. This is on the back of the headrest of the guy in front of you? Yeah. Just out in the open. Just out in the open.

Starting point is 00:07:29 You should ask the Hallmark lady to switch seats. She said, do you mind if I sit in the middle? Because I'm watching some stuff that is inappropriate. I'm right. And so I just feel like a good middle seat is for me. I need to be. I really need the window seat. I need to be. I really need the window seat. I need to be contained.

Starting point is 00:07:49 I think I turned it off. I fast forwarded. I was sitting there debating, like, this thing can't be that long. And it just kept going. Yeah. It kept going. It was the one where they, for the soccer coach, they got him like one of the girls or something.

Starting point is 00:08:03 It just, the scene would never stop. Yeah. You describing this scene is not stopping either. I mean, like, I think we all get it. And there's just, you're like,

Starting point is 00:08:13 no, let me, let me get into it. Let me tell you a little bit more. Let me tell you a little bit more. You say the word naked the way I hoped you would. Naked. Naked.

Starting point is 00:08:19 Yeah, I know it. Stark naked. Stark naked. They were nude. Yeah, naked's real, real They were nude. Yeah, naked's real. Real Southern.

Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what you do. I mean, you try. I've seen just violence on it where you're like, you feel uncomfortable. You're like, I don't like this. There's too many people can see this. But I don't know what I, I just don't watch that. Watch a whole scene of you just trying to watch an episode.

Starting point is 00:08:47 How long was the flight? I mean, it was a pretty short flight. I don't know. It was like an hour or something. Did you get to watch the whole episode? Yeah. Oh. Great if you want to watch... Just that.

Starting point is 00:08:58 You start landing and then you're like... So there's no reason for me to even watch. I can't even enjoy the whole episode. If I had tried to stop it, I would have somehow rewound it, and it would have just kept playing over and over. Yeah. The same scene. You should have started stretching.

Starting point is 00:09:14 You should have started stretching and just block it. Should have been like, hey, you see The Sopranos? You see this? Yeah. One of the best shows of all time. One of the best shows. What are you watching? Hallmark?

Starting point is 00:09:27 Loser. Yeah, I don't know. I fly Southwest. I don't have the luxury of a screen. Keep working hard, kid. I'll get the Delta eventually. Southwest lets you watch on your iPad, though. Yeah, you can watch on your phone.

Starting point is 00:09:45 So you can do that. I bring an iPad. I don't have an iPad. Oh, yeah? I'll get there one day. I don't watch stuff on... I think your generation's fine watching on your phone.

Starting point is 00:09:58 I don't think y'all need a big screen. I think you're right about that. I think you're just so used to watching on your phone that you don't even think about bringing a screen You're like, I'm just watching my phone I like to have it

Starting point is 00:10:08 But if you bring the phone close to your face That's the same as watching it on a big TV That's far away That means you gotta hold it You look like Nick Yeah, you look like Nick trying to read And just being like Nick said he got a bunch of doctor advice.

Starting point is 00:10:25 Oh, yeah? Yeah. Is he going to look into it at all? Yeah, I mean, I think he was going to try to reach out to some of them. But, I mean, they might be right. His guy might be right. Oh, yeah, they all said that. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:37 Like, yeah, he's just... You can't... Glasses aren't going to do it because your cornea has changed shape. So, he needs either those hard contact lenses or a cornea transplant. Him putting in contact lenses, I just don't know if I like that. It's just, I mean, I'm going to be a wreck until, like just knowing he's doing that every day. I just don't know.

Starting point is 00:11:00 You have to take them out. I don't understand what hard is. Are they hard? Yeah, I mean, they're, uh-huh. When I was, I didn't even know they You have to take them out. I don't understand what hard is. Are they hard? Yeah. I mean, they're, uh-huh. When I was, I didn't even know they still had hard contact lenses. I thought they were just all soft now. But when I first started wearing contacts, you had the option of hard or soft lenses.

Starting point is 00:11:15 You wear contacts now? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Is hard, yeah. Do you have glasses, too? Yeah. Just in case? Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:11:24 All right. Yep. A lot of people diagnosed you as well. Yes, I do have glasses. A lot of people diagnosed your dehydration. Yeah. I saw one email. Are we reading any of them or no? No, there's not any on here. Type 2 diabetes. Somebody said, yeah, pre-diabetic. And I just want to say how great it would be. Yeah. All the gal. If Nate got diabetes before me. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:48 You'd wish it. Look how far we've come. Yeah. Not even type 1, type 2. You just jumped right to that. I get it. Type 1 is a breeze. I was born with type 1.

Starting point is 00:11:57 Yeah. I ain't got that. I didn't get that in my sleep. You moved up to type 2. If I do things, I do them real. I do them big. Go big or go home. Yeah, my dad has diabetes.

Starting point is 00:12:10 So I don't know if I, like, you know, I got to go get it. I mean, I've thought about it every day since then. So I think I have another physical coming up, and I'm going to just be like, do I got to tell the doctor? So some people that I don't know all say they think I look like a guy that has type 2 diabetes. So can y'all check that out if you don't mind? They're like, why would you want to do that? A lot of people. I'm going to say you don't.

Starting point is 00:12:35 I don't think they realize just how little water you drink. I know. Well, you're going to be dehydrated if you never drink water. But I've been drinking more now since then. I mean, I don't get it as much, but it's like it just felt like it. But are you still dehydrated? I still get a very dry mouth. I still, you know, and I mean, I've been pounding some water.

Starting point is 00:12:56 Yeah. It could be eating. Dude had ice cream last night, a ton of it. There's water in ice cream. That's true. You know, I always have to tell myself that. There's probably a lot of water in the food I ate.

Starting point is 00:13:07 You get it from like candy and stuff? Is that how you get diabetes? Oh, I thought you meant water. Yeah. No. You just suck on it. You just get it from bad eating?

Starting point is 00:13:17 I don't know. I think it certainly contributes all the sugar. Yeah. Doesn't help. Yeah. I think that's the difference in the types, right? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:26 One of them's the genetic and one of them's the earn it. One of you earn it. Yeah. Type two's earned. Type two, you put in the work. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:34 It's an honor. Yeah. Is there a type three? Oh, man. I'll find out. You can be the first. You can get there, man. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:42 I mean, you have to do all the shots and stuff if I do it, right? Is that what your dad does? Yeah, but I don't know what he has. I think he has one that you could get rid of. Like if he ate better and worked out, you know, which seems like some of them. It's not like you're – because, I mean, isn't Jay colored diabetic? I almost – I don't know if I'm throwing that on him. But let's say he is.

Starting point is 00:14:08 I have no idea if he is, but I, so Jay Cutler is. How far can you throw a football if you're a type three diabetic? Yeah. Yeah. I. Oh, yeah, he has it. Type one. Type one.

Starting point is 00:14:20 So that's like your, we should have asked him about that. But that's like you're born with it. Yeah. That's like you have no choice. You just ambush him with a diabetes interview when he got here. That'd be hilarious. Yeah. I mean, if it's type 2, it's like, yeah, it's earned.

Starting point is 00:14:38 So I got to get that. All right. Yeah. Another thing. Deal with that. Another thing. And we'll be – the road's going to be fun. I'm going to be doing nothing on the road's gonna be fun I'm gonna be doing nothing

Starting point is 00:14:48 on the road just be walking out was it a lot of type 2 diabetes too? no was there anything else? more than one gout? no

Starting point is 00:14:59 type 2 diabetes it was the leader yeah good to know uh we have a lot of listeners that type 2 dub i guess maybe we'll have a meetup they all know are there doctors a lot of listeners either doctors or they have it uh jeremy hoffman he. He has type 3 diabetes. I don't know, Jeremy.

Starting point is 00:15:27 I'm sorry. I don't know if that's not true. Jeremy Hoffman. A perfect representation of this podcast is when Nate introduced the topic of the universe and then mentioned he was nominated for the Critics' Choice Award and followed it up with a fun fact about Aaron never peeing on a plane and everyone treated it like those three things were equally as relevant and interesting. Also, I'm pretty sure the airplane peeing conversation lasted three times longer than the award conversation.

Starting point is 00:15:55 Unbelievable. That's true. I don't think I'm getting respect that I deserve for my Critics' Choice Award. I think you were leading that conversation. Yeah, I think y'all should have brought it up. I shouldn't have had to bring up my own award. That, you know, I think you should have been like, hey, man, congrats on the Critics' Choice Award.

Starting point is 00:16:13 I didn't even know about it, but I should have assumed. You should have just assumed. Yeah. Any award. Any award. I probably got it. In the running, at least. In the running.

Starting point is 00:16:22 I should be at least. Yeah, that's my bad. Be congratulated on. The Golden Globes were announced today. So I should be announced. Congratulations. Thank you. They don't do stand-up comedy, but if they did, I'm sure we would have won it.

Starting point is 00:16:39 So I will just put I probably would have won it. The same people every time. Same people. Guys won't get out of the way. Steven Searcy. I left out an audible groan when I saw this week's topic, considering the guys had their minds blown by stoppage time in soccer the week before. Why not try to talk about everything ever created?

Starting point is 00:17:05 We should. We could. We did. That was the universe. Oh, that's what the universe. That's what he's referencing last week. I thought he was talking about like cups and stuff, which we could do that.

Starting point is 00:17:16 Universe and how pencils were made. Yeah. How do we get from the universe to pencils? Yeah. That's what's crazy. Wow. You think about that? Uh-huh. They talk That's what's crazy. Wow. You think about that? Mm-hmm.

Starting point is 00:17:26 They talk about that in Notre Dame. They go, well, you got the universe, and then I can write on a pen, on a paper. There's a big bang, and then billions of years later, there's a pencil. Yeah, wow. All made up of the same stuff. Yeah. That stars are made out of. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:17:44 Pretty crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. And are made out of. Yeah. Pretty crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. And we go, wow. Wow. And then that's it. Well, it's too much to think about. I mean, I think about that a lot. Like, it is crazy.

Starting point is 00:17:54 We go from the universe being created to us to then, you know, I pricked my finger. Like, I bit my tongue. and you're like, the universe was created, and now I'm here biting my tongue. Just how the, you know, that's also in the mix of every, you know. It's part of the universe. It's not the biggest problem, but it's a problem. Biting your tongue is a problem of the universe. Yep.

Starting point is 00:18:26 It wouldn't be listed probably. If they said, what can we do with the universe and problems of the universe? Biting your tongue, I think, would be at the bottom. It would be listed. But then they would be like, we got other stuff, like hunger and stuff like that. Type 2 diabetes we'd like to get rid of. Robert Vinny Lombardi one of my faves loved watching the train wreck of Nate Aaron

Starting point is 00:18:51 Baller and Mick Struggle discussing the vastness of our universe I lost it when Nate said he wished they would just guess when it came to the Big Bang Theory theory is literally the definition of a guess then when Mick compared Elon Musk to God,

Starting point is 00:19:07 I almost spit out my coffee. Keep up the great work, gents. Is theory literally the definition of a guess? No, I think scientifically, theory is a significant term. You have to get there. So a theory is basically an accepted fact. It's not just a guess out of nowhere. That's the fact that my first joke i ever came up with educated guests is so educated why is it a guess

Starting point is 00:19:31 first thing i ever wrote down for stand-up comedy that got me to here really writing a pen on this table in this podcast wow that was your big bang that was that was my big bang my big bang was if an educated guest so educated why is it a guess And I said it as I drove a car delivering pizzas as a second job to save money to move to Chicago. And I had a voice recorder, and I put that in there. So I won't forget it. I never forgot it. And it needs to be forgotten.

Starting point is 00:20:00 Never really made it into something. That'll be my last. When you hear that joke as a closer, you know that I'm done with my stand-up career. That's how I'm going to end it out. Goodbye, folks. But I admire you for sticking to your guns because 18 years later,

Starting point is 00:20:19 I feel like you still feel exactly the same about that. Right? I think I've proven it. Yeah. I think Robert Vinnie Lombardi. I mean, is that? I think if your last name's Lombardi, you have to at least name your kid Vinnie. His middle name.

Starting point is 00:20:36 Vince. What if he is? You got to get, though, a Vince in there, right? I know, but what if he's related to Lombardi? I don't think it's a common name. There's a good chance. There's a great chance of that. Maybe it's him.

Starting point is 00:20:48 Angie Wilkinson. She's probably related to a lot of people. The Wilkinson family. What have they done for us, you know? I don't know. I'm sure some Wilkinsons have done quite a few things. Probably. Great episode.

Starting point is 00:21:04 Bless Nate's heart. Trying to talk about the universe. Also Aaron quite a few things. Probably. Great episode. Bless Nate's heart. Trying to talk about the universe. Also, Aaron, self-control. Not always correct him. Is to be commended. She was very nice, though, Wilkinson. Sorry, Angie.

Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah. Good job, Aaron. Hey, thanks, man. You didn't even know what you're talking about. I have no idea what I'm talking about. See, that's my problem, is you educated people think think you know i've been thinking about that a lot like i don't i'm just not educated and uh i don't know yeah it's like the big words thing i said y'all use just big words so we can't be in the conversation even though we should be allowed to be and you should have to use words that are not as big uh-, that's what I think y'all do.

Starting point is 00:21:50 We talked about this before, that the beef between, I think it was William Faulkner and Hemingway. Maybe it was Hemingway. They had this argument back and forth, and they would write articles about each other in newspapers, just trashing each other. Yeah. And Faulkner says, well, you know, he's never been known to use a word that would send readers to a dictionary.

Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah. Like that was a big insult. And the other guy came back with, do you really think big emotions come from big words? Oh, wow. And I was like, hit him right there. I think about that a lot. Boom.

Starting point is 00:22:21 Think about that on a stage sometimes. Yeah. Sometimes a smaller word hits a little harder. Yeah. Yeah, because it gets to the point. There we have them. When people use big words, it feels in comedy sometimes, it feels like it doesn't fit what we're doing.

Starting point is 00:22:36 Like you're trying to make, you're trying to be funny. And so sometimes if someone uses a big word, it's like, you're like dressing up what is that saying you're dressing up a cow i don't know lipstick on a pig lipstick on a pig but a cow would be the same thing putting a dress what are you putting a dress on a cow i don't know why that's that should be the same that's way better that's way better lipstick Lipstick on a pig. That's ridiculous. When you're getting a cow, getting a rooster, something. I don't know. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:23:13 You know, you put a bracelet on a coconut. Taylor Lavelle. Nate was totally right about the sun being eight light minutes away. Light second is the distance light goes in a second light year a year and so on. There you go. You're right. I was right. I apologize, man.

Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah. I just never heard light minute before, and it caught me off guard. Because y'all don't get into the nit and gritty in Notre Dame. Y'all brush over it. You're like, this is just enough so when you talk to dumb people, you can get out of the conversation. You just hear some big words. That's what college is right college goes here's some big words use them when you you know have to when you get up against like a common folk

Starting point is 00:23:53 and then they're like you know they don't give them a chance to pick it apart like you did yeah don't let them question it and so here's you know so you just keep saying the same thing over and over but in big words and then they walk away someone compared y'all to michael scott and oscar when they debated about china oh yeah and michael he won right yeah yeah yeah he came from a different angle yeah yeah yeah uh laura wagner that's a good name guys whenever you ask how can they know that the answer is all almost always math just because you may not understand it does not mean it's not real it's real it's science and not just someone's opinion still a huge fan even though this part bugs me a lot. I disagree, Laura.

Starting point is 00:24:52 It's science. I learned how they calculate how many stars are in the universe. How's that? Math. They took a picture of one small section of the sky, and then they counted all the galaxies that are in that one section. Then they figure out how many sections are in the sky total, and they multiplied that by that. Then they figured out how many stars was in one galaxy, and then they multiplied that by that, and that's how they came up with it. But I mean, that would assume that everyone's the same.

Starting point is 00:25:19 Yes. So if everyone's not the same, then you could be completely off. Yeah, they're making some dangerous assumptions. So they're making an dangerous assumptions estimation yes yeah so it's still an it's someone's opinion but it's like he's like i put in the work that his opinion would be y'all didn't look it up yeah i at least am trying right it's an educated opinion and then so you go all right man well i should listen to his opinion because i'm not going to bother with it so So that's true. So Laura's right. Yeah, Laura's right.

Starting point is 00:25:46 I should be like, it's okay. Yeah. Unless I want to get into it. Right. So if I look at one star in my circle, put a hand, go, there's five stars in there. And then I go, so there's probably. How many circles? How many circles can I make?

Starting point is 00:26:03 All around. A lot. Yeah. A lot. It'd be the same thing. And then I just would say it like that. Dave Josie. If time travel exists in the future, then technically it would exist now.

Starting point is 00:26:19 That's true. Now, is he saying because they'd already come back? They'd come back. But if it's only going, if you can only go in the future, then maybe we just haven't gotten advanced enough yet, right? Well, saying it would exist now, but I mean, how do they get back? You've got to trust that they can get back. You don't want to come here and get stuck. I think you would get stuck.

Starting point is 00:26:38 You would go back to a time and then be. Me personally? Yeah. Well, yeah, but I wouldn't go back that far so that'd be all right i'd go back to the west wilson county fair like you said so i'd be perfectly happy just to stay i know but then you gotta find oh yeah you just you'd go back to live in that time yeah that'd be two of me there now i guess but we just both share a room yeah yeah you definitely i mean you would definitely go talk to yourself. I would say look up Keeps.

Starting point is 00:27:05 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get ahead of this. Keeps.com. You would definitely talk to yourself. Like, you know, they tell you not to talk to yourself, but, I mean, I think you would have a hard time not. Because it would ruin, it changes everything. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:18 You're supposed to not change anything about the future. Yeah. But I think you would be. Oh, yeah. I'd need a friend. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my gosh, dude. And I don't think anything would change i think even if you talk to yourself i think you

Starting point is 00:27:32 would all you'd end up buying psls at the titans right when they got here you'd still be going to the games we'd sit together you'd sit together you'd maybe go let's sit on you had the same row of seats but maybe just in the sun part. You'd go, yeah, I know this sounds crazy, but the sun sets. Are you in the sun part now? No, I just talked about that at the game yesterday. It's so important to have the sun at your back. Even when it was yesterday, I'd rather be in the shade than the sun just glaring in your face.

Starting point is 00:28:00 Oh, you'd rather be in the shade. Yeah. Oh. Because the early season games are so hot, first of all. And then even in the wintertime, the sun's just so glaring right now. I've sat on that other side, and you're just squinting the whole time. Yeah. What about sunglasses?

Starting point is 00:28:14 Even sunglasses, it's just – Hat, sunglasses. It's not a deal. Just don't even see the field. It's because you put your hat on like this, and you're like, God, this hat just doesn't do it. It never does it for me. That's why you don't like a hat.

Starting point is 00:28:31 Back of my neck's always fine. Watch the game. This sun, you're like, we'll just yank it down a little bit. The beach growing up, my dad put sunscreen on. He'd just slap it on, wouldn't rub it in at all, and then he'd jump right in the water and just get burned. He'd be like, this stuff never works, dude. You're not quite doing it right. You're not rubbing it in.

Starting point is 00:28:52 Yeah. I saw some people took some pictures with you. Yeah. Yeah. People came. Oh, they came all the way up there. Yeah. That was my section.

Starting point is 00:29:02 That was my seat. Yeah. Yeah. And they would be out of breath. And as soon as they composed themselves, we did a picture. Can you imagine if you go, we're about to go see your favorite comedian. You're like, where is he? We're going to be, we'll see you.

Starting point is 00:29:16 We'll see you second half. All right. Is he on the field? Yeah. We're going to have to miss a great portion of the game. He's sitting over at the Vanderbilt Stadium. And they go. That's so funny.

Starting point is 00:29:29 They have to hike up there. Yeah. No, I mean, there's a lot of people up in my section. Oh, I know you. No, I'm saying it's not like I'm the only one up there. The upper deck's a huge area. No, I know, but I'm saying everybody that wants a picture with you, none of them seem to be up there.

Starting point is 00:29:45 Yeah, I don't think our listeners are in the upper deck. You think they're a little bit better than that? I think our co-hosts are, but I don't think our listeners. Could you have the worst seats of everybody in the Nate Land world of a game? Maybe. Maybe. I like it. Matt McCurry.

Starting point is 00:30:09 McCurry. Oh, man. Will someone please explain to Nate that there's a huge difference between stating UFOs exist versus stating that aliens are flying around in space? He's still claiming aliens are here now

Starting point is 00:30:23 as if the government declared the existence of little green men how has no one pointed this out yet give him the breakdown barnaby uh yeah you do say that they're here now right i don't know um they're saying they're here yeah which i mean they haven't they've seen some things flying around. They haven't identified what they are yet, or at least haven't figured it out. So it might be a jump to say they're saying aliens are here now. Yeah, they wouldn't tell us.

Starting point is 00:30:52 Oh, because I'm saying that that's what they are saying. Yeah. Oh, well, I mean, yeah, whatever. I meant I don't get in the weeds of it. So who wrote this? My wife? Matt McCurry? Is that Laura? the weeds of it um so like who wrote this my wife i guess matt mccurry is that laura is that like is that her other name like laura's pen name yeah just uh that but the uh but that you know i think they're still flying around i mean then you wouldn't have a conversation right yeah some of

Starting point is 00:31:21 us for comedic effect yeah that matt we'd have no conversation, Matt. Well, they're here. Well, they're not technically here. Then let's move on, Matt, and let's go to the next thing. This is all made up of, I don't know, anything. Bryce L.K. It may be the findings of one scientist, but until a whole lot of other scientists do similar tests and experiments and find similar results, it doesn't mean anything. Now they say is kind of a wonky way to talk about

Starting point is 00:31:50 most of these topics. Some people think it's probably more accurate. I try to do that when I share on here. I mean, I usually say some scientists think or some people think that blah, blah, blah. Some people think that they're aliens flying here. I say now they say. Yeah, I don't know if they're talking about us, but I think they kind of nailed it. Now they say they're here. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:15 Yeah, I don't think about those words at all. So when I say them. So people should know that. There's no meaning behind it. Like I don't. There's nothing behind it. I'm just saying stuff I've heard in conversation just in life. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:32:29 I think that's where I get, like, there's no, when I say, you know, you say they for a lot of, like, well, they are talking. Like, there's nothing behind it. Yeah. I could, A, I don't care. And I'm just saying it to get to the thing I want to talk about. But if we got, yeah, I don't use words correctly, everybody. I feel like some people are.

Starting point is 00:32:52 Just learning that. Well, I mean, I think they're like, no, no, he's saying it wrong. Yeah, dude, I don't know. I didn't go to school. He said tier sharer. I said, yeah. Tier sharer. I mean, I don't, yeah, it's every day.

Starting point is 00:33:09 It's like, if I could get these right, I would be getting so much. Let me get to the now they say and some people think. We're not even there. We're working on regular words. Civilization. We're not even there. So, Dave Bryant, I'm watching the Universe episode for the second time, and this is bugging me enough to have to write to you our sun does have a name it's sol s-o-l that's why we call it a solar system nowadays planetarian systems are referred to as star systems not solar systems because our

Starting point is 00:33:40 sun is the only one called sol so really we are the only solar system and to get ahead of the next question our moon has a name also it's luna as in luna lunar eclipse all right that's fair yeah why do we call it a sun then so sun's not a name soul's another word for sun I think soul is the Latin word for it. But I said last week or whenever this episode comes out, the universe part one episode, I said we have a name for the Milky Way galaxy and we have a name for earth. We don't have a name for the solar system. He's saying that is the name.

Starting point is 00:34:21 Soul is a proper noun. So soul is the name. Everything else is proper noun. So soul is the name. Everything else is the star system. We're the solar system. Yeah. Okay. You don't agree with that? I don't agree with Dave.

Starting point is 00:34:33 I agree with you. Okay. I'm saying I don't know. I don't know. I don't buy it. Yeah? Yeah. You want to find out where Dave went to college?

Starting point is 00:34:43 Have a little argument? He and I will duke it out. Yeah. What want to find out where Dave went to college? Have a little argument? He and I will duke it out. Yeah. What's your beef? Solar system. I don't know. I just don't buy it, dude. He didn't sell me on it.

Starting point is 00:34:57 So he's got to sell you on what he assumes to be a fact. Yeah. I don't think you're buying something. Who calls it sold? I'm not buying what you're selling How about that Dave? No one calls it soul Dave does but

Starting point is 00:35:11 Soul is what you call a day on Mars Right? That's a soul You're telling me that's They just named it what the sun is named? That doesn't seem very Why is the sun not So the sun is just what it is? I think son is the English word for soul, right?

Starting point is 00:35:29 Maybe the son doesn't want to be referred to. Yeah, soul, soulless. What if Dave... What if this is coming from the son? And he thought, well, let me make up a name, Dave Bryan. And he's like, that's great. And the son is like, I would like to be called soul now. And so we should respect the sons. The son doesn't want to be called son doesn't want to be damned doesn't

Starting point is 00:35:50 want to be called son doesn't be dim he's got a lot of problems this seems the only way out so soul the son made a name I think Dave Brian is the son is what I'm saying sounds made up I think Dave Bryan is the son, is what I'm saying. Sounds made up. I think Matt McCurry is my wife, and Dave Bryan is the son. Elon Musk is God. Yep. Bobby, the reason toilet water flows in the opposite direction in Australia is because the coriolis. Coriolis? Coriolis.

Starting point is 00:36:23 I just kind of went with sounds at the end of that. Coriololus effect, which is the atmosphere deflection differences of the northern and southern hemispheres due to the rotation of the earth. I mean, I quit thinking about that sentence after toilet water. It just started. You were on board at first probably with toilet water. The reason toilet water flows, I was like in the car, and then I fell off the wagon, and the rest of it just,

Starting point is 00:36:53 and by the time we got to the end of it, I think y'all were like, I don't know if Nate's even here. The reason toilet water flows in the opposite direction in Australia is because of the Coriolis. Is that it? Mm-hmm. Effect. What does Coriolis. Is that it? Mm-hmm. Effect. What does Coriolis mean?

Starting point is 00:37:08 I don't know, but I think we were right. Different hemispheres. Yeah, I think I said it was like something to do with gravitational force, which I guess it's not. It's because of the Coriolis. Obviously. It's the atmospheric deflection difference. But y'all in college, y'all have like a whole day talking about Coriolis.

Starting point is 00:37:23 Do they ever go, here's what Coriolis means, or do they just use it and you're supposed to know what it means already? Like, when do you learn Coriolis? Junior high? Yeah, third, fourth grade. Probably. No, no. You learn that in a science class.

Starting point is 00:37:38 That's not a word that's used anywhere else. So, you know. And so they said Coriolis, and then you just remember it for the rest of your life. There's a glossary in the back of the book. know you look it up so you actually go look up that word oh yeah so that's right in the back so i didn't do that you didn't do that i don't think i've ever looked at a glossary i never knew you had to i just assumed well that's a word i'm not supposed to know that's what i thought i think the books gave me if i knew the word i go all right i should know that word and if i don't know it then'd go, all right, I should know that word.

Starting point is 00:38:05 And if I don't know it, then I'd go, they don't want me to know it. You would never read something, look it up in the dictionary right there? No. I don't think I've ever had to do it. I've never walked anywhere with a dictionary. I didn't mean you had one on you. I never brought it in somewhere. I did it like the way I audition for stuff where they,

Starting point is 00:38:23 when I audition for stuff and they're like, will you dress the part? And I go, no, if I get it, I'll dress it. If you, if I became a scientist,

Starting point is 00:38:31 I would have learned all this stuff. But if I'm not going to do it, then I don't, I don't need to know that. Why waste your time? Why wait? I have other stuff. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:38:38 We would do some of the most ridiculous auditions back in the day for you. Yeah. I'd go to Brian's house. It's so funny to think about now why we didn't just buy like proper lighting or something we would go to his house and do uh we get like a lamp we'd have like everything set up on like have two tables stacked on top of each other with a lamp take the shade off just trying to get it i never got one of these you never really try that hard either i mean some way i i could never memorize the lines and so i would just tape up just tape the the the script

Starting point is 00:39:12 on the and i like above the camera and i would just be reading it but you know the reason toilet water flows in the opposite direction in australia and i would just read it like that and i was like why am i not getting these and then i got brian reading on the other side and they just hear it might be the findings of one scientist what's the reason the toilet water flows well the reason total water flows in the opposite like i mean they're like what is this dude like who is just too we sound so stupid and i don't think we get stuff because of our accent. That's why.

Starting point is 00:39:47 That's why I don't get it. I mean, I always like, because they don't, when you're down here in the South, you only got your buddies that you can ask to read these other lines. Well, I don't have a proper, someone that can speak like they do in Hollywood. So mine's always, I had Michael Clay, I think, read one. He's like, well, the original, my hand, my hand, and then I'm over there. Well, we better not go over there then. I mean, it's just not, they don't, yeah, I think they're distracted.

Starting point is 00:40:23 That hurt us. Yeah. You know what you would do brent mccoy we see the big dipper and the little dipper in the summer then orion's belt orions orions orions i bet he i bet he would want orion yeah you're right he's in space orion is like how i would say it orions yeah it's like i think he would go i'm orion yeah you're right he's in space orion is like how i would say it orion's yeah it's like i think he would go i'm orion i'm i mean i'm literally my belt's in space i'm standing in outer space so i should be called orion doesn't that sound more of a space name yeah and less irish yeah orion yeah orion steakhouse then Orion's Belt. I think that's wrong.

Starting point is 00:41:05 I think I'm going to say Orion. Then Orion's Belt in the winter. Australia is the opposite. They still see the Big Dipper and Orion's Belt just as that opposite times of the year because of the rotation of the earth around the sun and the different hemispheres. I don't think I did sun stuff in school. I just don't know. Why does this stuff not stick with me?

Starting point is 00:41:33 Well, that doesn't even have anything to do with the sun. Stars. I don't know. Was the sun even mentioned in that? I got hung up on Orion's belt. Last week I said, when I was in Australia, you see different stars. You don't see the big different stuff. And he's saying, no.

Starting point is 00:41:50 You do. You do. It's just different types of years. So we have the same space. We thought they have a different outer space. Like we wanted to go down there. So we should go down there opposite if we want to see a different outer space. Or we still see that outer space?

Starting point is 00:42:02 We still see it. He's saying winter, summer there, and summer's winter. yeah so so if we go out right now and look at it we're looking at a whole we won't see the big maybe looking at summer stars here yeah yeah oh we're see australia so like do we call them let them know everything's good how our stars yeah how our stars doing they got everything's good right now how's the big and little dipper going you see you're going see him every night orion's belt all good his orion's belt good he goes yeah it's doing good we have orion's belt down here i go yeah we have orions a little more important all right everybody uh i'm gonna raise this seat up i think i had it down for something a zoom

Starting point is 00:42:42 now we're now we're cooking. It's a whole different vibe in here now. It's up there. It's a power move. So, yeah, we did Universe, two episodes of Universe. I wonder if people, you know, the second one comes out this week, I guess. So it's not out. People, I like it because people are like, man, they did one.

Starting point is 00:43:02 And then you're like, well, there's a second one. I know. A lot of people are like, these people are so dumb yeah and guess what there's another one coming yeah and even scratched the surface yeah it was funny though yeah it was that's the point yes obviously when you watch this we're not scientists it's just trying to make you laugh that's all we want to do i of course i know nothing and we're just trying to have a topic to talk about and try to make jokes and uh even though we're listed in educational podcast we are educational you learned something yeah you learned today it's orion and not orion yeah dummy right i learned a lot it's spelled o-r-i-o-n why would it not be orion

Starting point is 00:43:45 maybe it is but i always heard it called orion yeah because you're a bunch of doofuses don't know how to talk about the galaxy well i learned that from uh somebody commented i love it the universe and all your references are from movies which is true. One of our commenters said that. Oh man, I went too far down. I like to cross my legs underneath it. I'm trying to

Starting point is 00:44:12 get the right amount that I go, this could be good. And I'm probably in the same spot I was in. Yeah, I think you are.

Starting point is 00:44:19 You're right back where you started. Originally. Originally, yeah. Someone commented, very funny how all of our universe knowledge comes from sci-fi movies that we've seen,

Starting point is 00:44:28 which is true. I mean, we had a lot of sci-fi. There was a lot of it, yeah. Orion's Belt in Men in Black, the first one, that was a big part of the plot, I think, was something was coming from Orion's Belt. I think that's how I know it, from Men in Black. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:42 I just think they got it wrong. Yeah. Orion's Belt. That's how I know it for Men in Black. Yeah. I just think they got it wrong. The Lorians belt. And so that's why the movie was make-believe. Not successful. Yeah. They only paid five of them. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:44:55 That was, yeah. My sister bought me Men in Black. They ever tell the story? Like on Christmas one time. And I was so 10 years older. I was 18. She was eight or nine. And she bought, or she didn't buy it.

Starting point is 00:45:13 She was giving me as my Christmas present, Men in Black, the movie. And then she asked me before she gave it to me, she goes, is Men in Black your favorite movie? And then I said, I hated hated that movie i don't even know why i said that i like it i don't even know why i said it because i was 18 and you're stupid you're just dumb and you say dumb stuff and then she started crying and then she gave me it to me then i was like what's my favorite movie i've ever watched and then i changed uh and so now it's not my favorite movie makes this i like it because it's Scream and Men in Black.

Starting point is 00:45:47 Yeah. Yeah, because Abigail got it to me when she was little. It was like you're so – there's so much stuff when you're – like why would I ever say I hate – I don't even care about movies that much. And you're like, why would I have this stance on Men in – to go, well, that's a dumb movie. Like I don't even – And never say you hate something right before somebody gives you a gift. Yeah. on men to go, well, that's a dumb movie. Like, I don't even, you know.

Starting point is 00:46:08 And never say you hate something right before somebody gives you a gift. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Well, I did not know. Oh, yeah. This wasn't like Christmas morning or something. It might have been.

Starting point is 00:46:17 She's holding your present. Yeah, I don't know. Well, she told me already what it was. Maybe that was her fault. Maybe Abigail shouldn't have said anything. It was, yeah, it was just, you think back about when you're 18 you're just you're just so you're you can be mean you can be you say and everybody's like that and you're just and then as the older you get again you just look and you go what who what would i why would i ever care in a million years about me you just go yeah yeah i like it or i don't you have no opinion on

Starting point is 00:46:46 it but uh last time i talked to her so was this before or after you warned her about her plane going down in mexico oh yeah i didn't do that we talked about that on here i forgot the details but i don't remember the detail i don't remember You know, when you have a sister that's, yeah, 10 years younger, you say a lot of – some of it is to be funny. That was funny to do that. So, you know, but now she works with us. So there'll be a lot more of that where that came from because now she's old enough.

Starting point is 00:47:19 So now I can say. I might tell her what I really think about men in black. I might do it today. So one of our most requested topics has been The Office. Yeah, we should do it one time. We all love The Office. I was going to ask you guys, were you on board out of the gate? It took me a little time because I love the British version of The Office.

Starting point is 00:47:46 I still do. I think it's great. Ricky Gervais. So when I started watching the American one at first, I was like, I was a little snobby. I was like, they're ruining it. Right. But obviously I changed on that. Now, I mean, I soon loved it.

Starting point is 00:48:03 No, I liked it from the, you know, I like The British Office. But I take that stuff always wrong. When someone says they like The British Office, I always take it like, you like the regular one too. You're just trying to say something that – Trying to sound smart. You're trying to sound smart. It's like saying you preferred the book to the movie.

Starting point is 00:48:21 Yes. And I always just think like, maybe it goes back to when like you're younger and i take it like that though so if someone says it i'm like i don't think you really care i think you did like michael scott's unreal like he does a great job steve carell like it's he's so funny and i could see maybe at the beginning you're like but i mean i would think you you would be like hey i'm excited to see what they're gonna and the british office wasn't like it was this major, major hit. It was over there.

Starting point is 00:48:47 I mean, how did we even see it? Yeah, I mean, I bought the DVD. It was on BBC and I don't know. I bought the DVD. It was like, I would say most people didn't know about it. I don't know if I knew about it until the American office. Yeah, most people, that was the way it was. And so then that's how they find out about

Starting point is 00:49:05 it and they're like well i like the british one first and you're like well at least be either be honest with me and say you watched it in live as it was airing or tell me the truth and you found out about it afterwards and you're like the british is still so funny because the british so but i like the regular office over the british office there's more episodes a lot more the british one was like 14 episodes or something yeah yeah and a 90 minute special and the american one's over 200 episodes wow yeah uh which is my cup today world there is so many people can compare you to michael scott and every time now I watch an episode of The Office, there's something he'll say that reminds me so much of you. The only sad part to that is this is my real life. But he was loved.

Starting point is 00:50:04 I just understand. Again, this is when everybody thinks i'm too hard on y'all like you're calling me maybe the dumbest character that's ever lived on television and i and it's not like oh you remind me of him it's like you're regular every when you wake up in the morning you're just that you're dumb and i'm not and i am i'm smart in my other ways right right even his arguments are so i just watched the one women's appreciation day and he's like i can't remember he's like women appreciation conference room 15 minutes and jim was like how are you qualified to talk about women he's like oh i don't know james i was born from a woman yeah his arguments are just so like just like you just like you know like all right well technically oh, I don't know, James. I was born from a woman. His arguments are just so like, just like you, just like, you know, like, all right, well, technically, I guess.

Starting point is 00:50:48 I don't know if that makes sense. But the one I just watched was where they, there's the fire safety drill, and then they do the dummy where Dwight cuts the end. And they said, you just destroyed a $3,500. And he goes, $5,300 for a dummy? Yeah. And they just look at him like, what? And they move on. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:51:10 Michael Scott said that? Yeah. Yeah. So he's dyslexic too. With numbers. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I think we talked about it.

Starting point is 00:51:20 It's a different term. I know. I can't remember until if I want to go figure out if I'm dyslexic. It's like you're kind of crushing it with it right now. You know what I mean? I know, but I don't want to say it. I think I am. I just think I am, and I'm not.

Starting point is 00:51:31 I don't know if I am. Yeah. I probably have to be, though. I don't. I could be just dumb. They diagnose you with it. They go, what if you're not anything? Like, I go, do I have diabetes? They go, you might as well have all of it. That go, what if you're not anything? I go, do I have diabetes?

Starting point is 00:51:45 They go, you might as well have all of it. That's what they're going to tell me. Am I dyslexic? Just tell people, you're a little bit of everything. You got a little sprinkle here, a little sprinkle there. We can't even cure it because it's not even enough to be cured, but it's enough to affect your everyday life. But I notice you've been reading better so if i slow but it's gonna slow down yeah if i slow down

Starting point is 00:52:13 and like really look at what i'm saying yeah but i do the yeah but i get long all right well that's all right i uh i mean is the office your well no west wing's your favorite show but sitcom my favorite show but the office i've probably watched the most it's the most rewatchable show to me i think it's more popular now than even when it went off oh has to be yeah it's just like seinfeld people just watch they put it on they just let it i don't know if it's more popular than what then when it was on when it was aired it don't know if it's more popular. Than what? When it was on. When it was aired, people were watching it. I think the Netflix resurgence

Starting point is 00:52:48 was it's bigger than it ever was. I mean, it was the number one show on Netflix. I mean, I saw some stat. It accounted for like 40% of all Netflix streams was The Office. Yeah. I completely made that up. It was...

Starting point is 00:53:04 Yeah, I mean, it's an amazing show. But that's what I mean. Like, that's why I liked it. Like, that's why, and if someone still goes, no, I still like the British one, you're like, well, you're being ridiculous. Look, I don't think The Office ended gracefully. Yeah. It ended badly. But you're like, come on, dude.

Starting point is 00:53:21 Like, it's unreal. It's, there's not a better show. Like, it's so dude. It's unreal. There's not a better show. It's so funny. It's so good. Every character, they just knocked it out of the park. So in 2020, Americans watched 57 billion minutes of The Office on streaming platforms. The next highest show was Grey's Anatomy on Netflix with 39 billion. So we're talking, yeah, 20 billion more minutes than any other show.

Starting point is 00:53:52 I mean, it's huge, man. It's crazy. They're all still watching these shows that are older. I mean, that's like, I don't know how these people don't figure this out in all these networks and streamings. Like they go like, you know, I'm in the office. The way they're shooting that show kind of changed everything, which was a big deal.

Starting point is 00:54:15 But it's like, I never understand how like some of these, all of these, the most, 10 most viewed, I guess it's the licensed shows, but I think they do better than, they do better on Netflix. You know, people are just, it's funny. It's i think they do better than they do better on netflix that you know people are just it's funny it's like i mean netflix is starting to that's what netflix is doing though netflix is starting to figure out to make these shows because i mean if these networks don't figure this out uh because they're still making good shows but then they're

Starting point is 00:54:38 like chasing something wrong i think and netflix is not so netflix just buys the shows gets the people on there shows the people want to watch it and then Netflix can eventually just be like well we're starting to make like we're starting to make shows that are going to be like this and you you will only come here you won't it'll be all our original shows I just wondered where Jeff Bezos summon Amazon or whatever to make the next Game of Thrones yeah Yeah. Did you see that? Yeah. I mean, that's easier said than done. Summoned? Just meaning like, I want you guys to create the next Game of Thrones.

Starting point is 00:55:12 He told Amazon that. Was it Amazon? It was. I know we were talking about it last weekend as Amazon's doing a Lord of the Rings series. They're going to spend over a billion dollars on it. Yeah. Just the amount of money that's thrown into that is insane, man. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:55:27 And they're trying to, yeah. Trying to do it. Yeah. But it's not all about money. I mean, it's like stuff's got to be. The Office, it couldn't have cost that much to shoot. No. And it would hold up to be, I think you don't have as much fun,

Starting point is 00:55:44 enjoyment of watching that Billion Dollars of the Lord of the Rings versus The Office. You're going to watch it, enjoy them both. Do you feel like that's part of why the show is rewatchable? Is that it's just so simple? It's easier to watch. It's in an office. It's in a familiar place.

Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. It's like, it's just, it's about the jokes. It's like, you know the characters. You're not surprised by anything. It's not like you're having to follow along. People get tired of like, and you got to think, it's all day, every characters you're not surprised by anything it's not like you're having to follow along people get tired of like you're and you gotta think it's all day every day is like your phone's going off everybody's technically the busiest the people are busier than they would have been in the 50s and 60s because that would have been you just went to work and then you went

Starting point is 00:56:19 home and there wasn't that much to watch on tv your phone never rang like you know maybe talk to the neighbors but it was very simple. And then now, it's like you're talking to... I mean, you got to think, during an office hour of an old job in the 60s, you talked to that, those people, you talked to probably five times that amount of people. And that could be a real big company. Could be like, I talked to eight people today. And you're like, I i talked to eight people today and

Starting point is 00:56:45 you're like i've talked to 40 by noon like that's a lot and i do it and it never lets up text it never lets up social media like it never you're talking to you have a hundred conversations going on in a hundred different scenarios so it's like when you go back to watch like an office or something like lord of rings is like right, we spent all this money. You're like, I guess I got to pay attention if I want to really enjoy it. And then you're like, I don't care. I just can't. I don't want to.

Starting point is 00:57:15 I can't. You know, you can be in the right mood for it, you know, if it's like your thing. But you got to be really in the right mood. I got to be in the right mood to watch a lot of stuff. Like I got to be like if I – I don't get out of the mood of not what like i won't want to watch the office right you know and you're just kind of like i don't know i just feel like you know right now i'm going to all these i'd rather just watch an old movie uh than some stuff i've started to recognize

Starting point is 00:57:38 that in myself that i'll start something be like i am not in the right mood and i'm not going to enjoy this yeah i went to see deadpool the movie Deadpool, in a crowded theater, and it started, and I walked out like a minute in. Because Ryan Reynolds made a joke, and the whole theater laughed, and I go, I'm not in the mood to watch this. So I just got up and left and went to a bar and waited for my friends to leave. You just go, if I'm not going to enjoy this, why would I sit and watch the whole thing?

Starting point is 00:58:06 A lot of people don't have that money to waste like you do, and so they just have to sit through it. You spent money to then go leave and go spend money somewhere else. That's what's called a sunk cost, right? Because the money's already been spent. Yeah. So why do I feel like I need to stay in? Did you illegally download it when you watched

Starting point is 00:58:26 it the next time i hadn't i've never you've never watched never watched it again so will you try to do it for free yeah i'll find it and i'll wait if i'm in the right mood you feel like you get the money back yeah i finally get my money's worth yeah So you were by yourself, took your small more money, and went and watched it, and then you're like, just, I'm out. No, this was, I was probably, man,

Starting point is 00:58:50 I was probably college when the movie came out. What'd your friends say? They were like, where did you go? I could tell I wasn't gonna enjoy it. You left the whole movie, and at the end of it,

Starting point is 00:59:00 they go, where'd you go? Yeah. Oh, they stayed in there? Oh, they stayed and enjoyed the movie. Oh, I thought you were by yourself. So they didn't ask any more questions. I mean, you've been gone for two hours. Yeah, I think they were like, they get it.

Starting point is 00:59:10 They got it. How do they not, how does one of them not leave and go, are you okay? Or text you, you have phones then. No one texted and said, hey man, are you cool? I don't remember. Probably not, to be honest with you. I think that maybe I thought I'd.

Starting point is 00:59:24 I went to the movies with my buddies and then left at the very beginning of it and didn't show up again until I left. There's a little more than one time, man. Where'd you go? Like, are they just, you know? I think, look, I think the first joke that I didn't think was funny got a huge laugh. I looked over and I go, yeah, I'm out. You know, and I think they got it.

Starting point is 00:59:49 Oh. And they go, we'll catch up with you after. Yeah. I think we just kind of. So there's probably a little more. They could see it in my eyes. Hey, I'm not going to, I'm going to go. I'm just not.

Starting point is 00:59:58 You just said, I'm not filming this right now. Right. I'm going to go. So you at least said that. I gave, yeah, I gave a little. Yeah. They got it. Okay.

Starting point is 01:00:04 I just like to hear the whole story. Yeah. Well, the T.O. That is a good thing to realize when you're not in the mood. So I love Narcos. Like, I always love that. And I haven't started this season yet just because I know I haven't. Like, I love it.

Starting point is 01:00:19 And I tried to watch the first episode, and I was excited. But then I'm like, I was just too busy and too – I wasn't going able to like focus and i was like why i want to watch this and i don't want to like not like it because i'm just too right and i'm not in this space so uh i haven't watched don't force it i'm not yeah i'm not i'm still but i for some reason can pay attention to these old movies even if you don't know them that well? Yeah, I don't know any of them. I didn't know any of Angels Fall and London is Falling. They're changing my life.

Starting point is 01:00:52 I mean, I'm watching them and being like, you know, I see it, you know? Olympia's Falling. I watched all three. Yeah, we talked about it. And those are recent movies, right? No, I don't know. So it's not like- Last decade or so, right?

Starting point is 01:01:08 I mean, have they really advanced so much? Were the plots so much more complex now? I just think they were just on, they were just nailing it back then. They were just, Olympia's Fallen, it's about, or some of it's like the government can be bad and all this stuff, or it's some stuff like that where you're like, they're just on. You're just like. Yeah. They're just like, yeah, they're on a point where you're like,

Starting point is 01:01:31 oh, wow, that's making good points. I don't know. Some of it is just. Not saying they all do. Right. Yeah. Well, The Office got off to kind of a rocky start ratings wise, and then they pivoted away from the British version style

Starting point is 01:01:47 and started making Michael Scott more likable. Yeah. Less like Ricky Gervais' character, David Brent. Ricky Gervais is likable when he's mean, and Steve Carell's not. And so that's just like there's no – I don't think there's even an acting thing in that. It's like Ricky Gervais is, the character he was is kind of, you see him in Stand Up, it's like that kind of thing. Is he lovable in the same way that Michael Scott became lovable?

Starting point is 01:02:16 I think he was in the, like he was, I think he was a loser. They're both losers. Right. think you he was in and he was a loser they're both losers right but his loserness was like he was trying to be cool but you were like oh there's a sweet guy under there right he's trying to right he's got nearing or something or you're like he's trying to do all this kind of stuff and steve corral is a loser but he's lovable but in a different like he wears the suit every day to work and like like rick gervais could come in and trying to be dressed a little cooler or something like he doesn't have a

Starting point is 01:02:49 jacket on but he has his tie and his sleeves rolled up and like that kind of like you're like oh this guy is like is he's trying to be something he's not yeah and that works with rick gervais and steve carell you're like you need to have the suit on and just be dumb, but he has heart. Yeah, yeah. Like his is, he's, you know, like again, the June, the Pam episode with the- Business school.

Starting point is 01:03:17 The business school with Art. And he goes, that's beautiful. Like he's a simple minded, but he's very happy for the person and he sees. And so it's like, you're doing the same thing. Their likableness is just coming from a different place. And one of the main ways they made him more likable, they gave him a full head of hair. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:36 Between seasons one and two. Was he bald? He was balding. He was more slicked back. In real life. He was slicked back, a little balding, and he looked kind of slimy, like a used car salesman. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:03:48 And they gave him a full head of hair. Yeah. He also got ripped because he was filming 40-Year-Old Virgin, right? So he was like in great shape, full head of hair, more lovable looking. But you couldn't tell he was in great shape. No, no, because wearing the suit. Yeah. Yeah, they wore it big to not

Starting point is 01:04:06 show it. Right. A little less of a chin, I guess. You can kind of tell. Yeah, because that's a big deal. If they would have showed him ripped. Yeah, and you can see it occasionally. The one where he comes up with the golden ticket idea, and it

Starting point is 01:04:22 backfires, and he goes and dumps the suit in the thing, and then he's wearing like a jogger and a t-shirt and you can tell he's in really good shape yeah yeah they uh they changed the setting the first season was shot in a real life office in culver city california and then they transitioned to a sound stage for the second season and they rebuilt it perfect replica and they made his office a little bit bigger to accommodate cameras and they could now

Starting point is 01:04:47 control the weather and they made the lights in the office brighter. Oh. They changed the tonal, they said the tonal shift. The British one's kind of dark and it's much more

Starting point is 01:04:58 shaky cam, like a real documentary. It's shot like British. Like it feels like British. Like, you know, and yeah, it should be shot differently. You got to mix it up and do something different. It probably is a little darker over there, isn't it?

Starting point is 01:05:12 I've never been. More rain. I think of England. I think it's a little drearier. Yep. We lived in Slough, which just sounds like a dreary place. That's their Scranton. Oh, it was Slough?

Starting point is 01:05:23 Slough. Yeah. And I think the American version, I think their address was Slough slough yeah and i think the american version i think their address was slough or something like that okay that's cool you know they just found a small town scranton yeah slough which is just outside england i mean uh london yeah just outside england yeah the show didn't do great in the ratings at the start but it took up four of the top five slots on downloaded TV shows on iTunes. So that's how people really found it.

Starting point is 01:05:47 It wasn't just white-collar workers. It was young audiences. That's how I found the show. I remember I downloaded the Christmas episode on iTunes. I had never seen the show, but it was one of the top downloaded, and I bought it for like $1.99 and loved it. That's how I was exposed to it. I didn't even know people were buying shows like that.

Starting point is 01:06:05 It was one of the first you could do that with. I remember I was blown away. You could just buy a TV episode, and I got that Christmas episode. And then did you buy all of them? No, I don't think so. Did you start watching them regular? On and off. It wasn't until the show had ended and was on the streaming platforms

Starting point is 01:06:23 that I really dug into it yeah but if it's one of those shows it's like south park for me if it's on back in the day if it's on i'd watch it i'd be like oh this is great yeah but i just for whatever reason it took me a while to sit down and actually yeah yeah you know dive in yeah some people auditioned for the part adam scott you guys know him oh yeah yeah he auditioned for jim halpert seth rogan auditioned for dwight shrewd eric stone street auditioned for kevin oh wow um i didn't know that angela auditioned for pam bob odenkirk auditioned for michael scott and he came back at a later episode yeah Yeah. He could have probably done it. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:07:06 Like, I mean, I don't, you could see it. Bob Odenkirk could have done it. But it was, I mean, I don't, and like, you know,

Starting point is 01:07:13 you've done it and you would just, like, he's about the only one. Even when they did it, you know, he's just so, he was great in it. When he,

Starting point is 01:07:21 when they had him, when he was in the office, he was funny. steve crowell was yeah eric stone street that's kevin judah friedlander too i think he maybe on there yeah i remember there's a compilation video on youtube of all the audition tapes of people that are now super famous. It's pretty fun to watch. Yeah. They were on the right track, basically, of everybody they got. It's funny to go, like, was Seth Rogen not huge at that point?

Starting point is 01:07:55 I thought he was, but maybe not. He's probably on the verge. Yeah. It's funny to think who they got. What's his face? Brian Baumgartner. Yeah. It's funny, but they do go with him. I didn't know him from other – was he in other stuff before?

Starting point is 01:08:16 I don't know. Maybe he would have. They actually did a good job of – you don't go after whoever. You don't go after the flashy. I'm not saying he's not flashy, but it's like Seth Rogen or something. But Eric, I guess, was not because this was before Modern Family. Ruth was watching Four Christmases this weekend, the Vince Vaughn, Reese Witherspoon, and Steve Burns in it,

Starting point is 01:08:40 which I had no idea. And then I didn't see him, but she said Brian Bodgarter was in it just as a small role. So I guess that came out before the office yeah i can't remember john krasinski uh when he auditioned he was waiting in the room to go in a man eating a salad asked him are you nervous and he said no not really you either get these things or you don't what i'm really nervous about is the show i love the british show so much and americans have a tendency to really screw these opportunities up i just don't know how i'll live for myself if they screw up the show and ruin it for me and the man responded i'm greg daniels the executive producer oh i love that that's a story it almost doesn't seem real like too good to be true but i guess it is uh i could see it if you're audition if he's

Starting point is 01:09:26 high up uh in the audition process then he's you're in front of you know they're in the waiting room eating a salad that's what's i know but like so i'm saying you know it's like when you think of auditions so when you do an audition like when you do them some at the beginning like no one like the casting some casting persons there sometimes it's one, like the casting, some casting person's there. Sometimes it's not even that main casting person. It's the level that you're at. And then the higher you get, which I imagine John Krasinski was probably getting like, you know, this dude's about to get something. And so the higher they get when they come in, it's a big deal.

Starting point is 01:10:02 Like they got, some of them won't audition unless the mate just for my pilot i know like uh katie katie azleton who ended up playing my wife when she i didn't read with her when she first came in because i was like i thought of it as like i don't even know if i'm good so i didn't want to ruin i was so scared that i would ruin their i don't want you know the network to think that they're you know like well this girl's not good and it's like she's not good because i'm terrible and then i had a little bit of fear of like what if they look at me and they go well golly this guy's bad so and i've never done any of this so i was like i don't want to read well she she was like there's people that are, she was one of the hotter names.

Starting point is 01:10:45 So there's a list of, I mean, it's not a huge list, but you can get a list of people. But there's a smaller list of like, look, these are the ones these networks want. These networks want these people in these shows. And so Kaye Azerson, she was one of the top ones. And so she came in and I didn't read with her and I talked to her about it afterwards. And I was like, Oh,

Starting point is 01:11:09 did you think that was bad? She goes, yeah. I mean, she called her agent after. And it's like, I thought he was reading with me. Cause it,

Starting point is 01:11:14 it would mean that like, this is more real. It's like, cause I mean, she could, she was at the point of going, she's not offer only, but she's,

Starting point is 01:11:23 what's that mean? Like, if you just like, they have to offer it to you. Are you, you don't have to audition only but she's what's that mean like if you just like they have to offer it to you are you you don't have to audition okay but she was like there's some people that are offer only and uh like if you wanted i mean i'm you not that we did this but if you wanted jennifer aniston like you just got to offer there you're not gonna make her read you can't make her okay so uh uh she was like at the point of like uh she was close though to be like she you know she's still but if you she came in it was like hey she needs to read with me and you know and

Starting point is 01:11:56 like she's high up on the we need to tell her a real answer it's not when you're newer where i was when i auditioned like you go do it you would have to go to a bunch more. So Krasinski, I'm sure Gray Daniels probably wasn't there. Like everybody would have been in there because they're getting to the point of like, we're deciding. And so we need to all see who this, you know, who this person is. I auditioned once for Krasinski on something and he was in the room. It was for a Bud Light. I think it was a Bud Light commercial.

Starting point is 01:12:28 Oh, really? And he was producing it. It was the first thing that he was producing. So it was a commercial. It was a funny commercial. I mean, the office has already been on and all this stuff. I was writing my show with Halstead Sullivan at the time who wrote The Office. And then he, so I was, I go in to audition for it.

Starting point is 01:12:53 And I remember I had him, he was laughing so hard. But I wasn't just the fit for that. So we, I, like, I remember he was dying laughing. I was like, dude, I might get it. Like he was losing it. And then, but then I ended up seeing the commercial and I was like, yeah, didn't fit in that commercial and it was i think it came out it was maybe a bud light commercial maybe you can see john krasinski produced it look and see if there's one yeah but i just didn't i didn't like what i did didn't fit with the people they were booking uh but then after i remember so i parked and i was like oh

Starting point is 01:13:23 that went good i gotta meet him i I was like, that's awesome. And I actually saw him later on, like somewhere else, like in LA, and he remembered me. Really? Yeah, because he was like, oh, he's like, because he was really funny. Was it Hold My Beer? Was it something like that? 2014? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:13:43 Super Bowl commercial, maybe. That's 15 minutes. Yeah. Yeah, yeah yeah i'll find it right after that yeah it's uh so they uh but anyway so i do that audition right and like that was the one like uh when you do these auditions like i i think i was always a person that everybody liked but i'm not like it's either you want me or you don't and so when i would go in they would it could be like i like this guy but you're i'm just too dear like i'm not i don't fit in with everybody else and so i just wouldn't get anything i don't like that's why i'd get callbacks where they you do one and they call you back to go you know which is a good sign they call you back let's see you again because they're like is guy it? And then the second time, you're like, no, he was not.

Starting point is 01:14:27 But I remember my car got broken into that day. And I was having to record my, I had my set list. That night. Oh, I remember this. Yeah. That night I was recording my hour set for Comedy Central to tape my hour, the full-time magic special. So I was having to record it so I could send it to Comedy Central

Starting point is 01:14:48 so they could hear the hour special to make sure, like, all right, we like it, let's do it. And I left that audition from Krasinski. I was, like, feeling good, and I go to my car, and my window's smashed, my backpack's gone. And I think they got my laptop. I don't care about stuff getting taken. The only thing I – not in the – like I couldn't afford any of this stuff again.

Starting point is 01:15:15 I didn't have any money. But it was – I just, you know, it's like, you figure it out. Yeah. And then – but my jokes were – my note card was stolen. That was my set list of what i was doing that night all that was in there and i that now i take pictures of my set list because i because of that day uh but because it was like i didn't have anything so i was having to go off memory and so then i was so scared i was going to like miss just some little stuff here and there and i

Starting point is 01:15:41 was like trying to go through my set and i wrote it all down as quick as i can so yeah i can't find a video of these but this is a write-up about the hold my beer yeah a bunch of digital shorts okay yeah it was those but like yeah adam ray's in it because adam ray got it oh is that him in the back i think that's him in the back yeah yeah oh cool yeah i could have been you with the shirt it could could have been me. I could have been one of them, and they said no. But he laughed a lot. That's really cool. So, yeah, he was very nice. When Krasinski got the part, he met with different paper companies,

Starting point is 01:16:16 employees, to learn about the role, and he went to Scranton just to learn about the town. And the footage you see at the beginning in the open of the show is shot by him. The grainy footage of Scranton and stuff, he shot that just driving around Scranton. So he went and he actually researched the role. See, that's what I just don't. That's why I'd have to create my own show.

Starting point is 01:16:40 As an actor, that's such a different mindset. And that's a thing that you have to go do. And I just would never, I don't know, there's something like, you know, I think actors have like a different, where they like playing. You do that, though, in your own way in comedy. I mean, it's your real life. You get out there. You learn about what's going on.

Starting point is 01:17:00 You don't sit in your hotel room. Yeah. But it's me going through it. Yeah. So I guess i'm the you do so many things that an actor would say i could never do that as far as just the commitment to it yeah as much as but i have a hard time uh yeah there's oh we could hear adams oh adams on the podcast yeah and then adam yeah, because maybe he got it.

Starting point is 01:17:27 Deadgummit, Adam. You know? They, yeah, no, they do that. I think I like doing it, though, because it's like, it's me. I don't know if I could do it imagining it's someone else. Like, if you're, like, playing a character. I always, I just don't ever, that always seems weird to me. Like, when someone plays a bad character, and they're like, this guy's a real jerk and you're like well it's you that's what i always

Starting point is 01:17:50 think when they interview the actor after they go yeah well i had to get in the mindset of just a real psycho and you're like yeah but you were that person yeah yeah even though it's not but you you got in there like they always like sometimes they can be i just take stuff it doesn't make sense i take it as a way like they think they're better than the character and i'm like but you're the you get like a free pass that you got to like yell all that mean stuff on tv or in a movie this is not the office obviously right whatever movies like you got to make fun of this guy and be mean about this guy, and it could be a bad person, you know.

Starting point is 01:18:28 And then you're like, yeah, that wasn't me, though. I'm just a really good actor. But it was you. But it was you. But you yelled those words. I mean, that's not – that's when I would never do a Southern – when they would have to do Southern – I'd get, like, some thing that was like,

Starting point is 01:18:44 I need to be a Southern racist in a movie. I was like, I'm not going to go do this. I don't think that – you're like, it's the same thing. You're like, I don't know this guy. I don't know who you're talking about. I'm here. I don't know who's this Southern racist guy that you want me to be. Who's this character?

Starting point is 01:19:01 But then it's the same thing. It's like every Southern it's every southern racist character is just like that's what you think we're doing down here and i always and i always took it as that i think you think i'm that yeah i would take it very personal and that and that you know what i heard learned hurt you in acting it hurts you and you can't take it. I think they're thinking of me. We wrote this part for you and it's just the most racist character of all time. And you're like, is that what you think I'm doing? They're like, no, it's just a character. But I'm Southern, so I think you're thinking about me.

Starting point is 01:19:38 Even though you're not thinking of me, but we're all... His name's Nate. Yeah. But we can change it. But you're all, but you're talking about my family and my friends and like my, it's all of us together. I don't,

Starting point is 01:19:51 you know. Yeah. Here we are. That's why I started a podcast. I'm acting like I haven't had a great time with y'all. Oh, how good, how good did that be?

Starting point is 01:20:05 You're like, guys, we're joking, but yeah, be so they you know they're like guys we're joking but yeah it's still you you're the ones that said the mean stuff to us yeah

Starting point is 01:20:10 yeah yeah but I say it so you should be I did that's right I did say it

Starting point is 01:20:16 I don't mean it though that's what they should say Phyllis was a casting agent for the show and then they said you should just be Phyllis and of course she was the show, and then they said, you should just be Phyllis, and of course she was.

Starting point is 01:20:27 Before that, she was an NFL cheerleader and a burlesque dancer. She was? Who did she cheerlead for? St. Louis Cardinals. Wow. Do they have pictures of that? I don't know. I'll look it up.

Starting point is 01:20:40 Yeah, that's pretty crazy that she did. She was just the casting. I think they all probably going to think that now. I mean, that's crazy, dude. Yeah. Yeah. She said she loved football. She could watch the games, dance, and look at the cute guys across the field.

Starting point is 01:20:58 Wow. She's great on the show, man. Yeah, I mean, that's – She is. Yeah, that's – she did yeah she was awesome i mean that's such a that's why like casting is casting is everything and for you to i think it's hard for some shows not to go after like the famous person because you're looking at them and you're like i'm you know when you're looking when you're auditioning and you're like i know who these people are they're famous i think the office purposely went after no names it's hard but but it's hard to not go after no names you have to be

Starting point is 01:21:33 in the business enough to be able to be confident enough to not go after no names if i would have ever got my show earlier like 10 years ago or something when i tried i don't have a show now so i haven't got it but if like i would have gotten one of those i mean i could get talked into everything because you had been like i can't believe i'm even getting to meet this person and so you'd be like yeah that's crazy and you've got to be i think confident enough in your thing that you created that you go no i don't really need me and i mean sometimes you do need that person uh but sometimes you like i don't want a famous person i want someone that no one really knows that would fit more with what we're trying to do

Starting point is 01:22:15 especially since the office i feel like so much of it is like hyper realism and it's a mockumentary the fact that they're they just look like regular a lot of them, and you don't recognize them as stars at all. Yeah, Steve Grohl was, you can be somewhat famous. He didn't become that famous until the show had already started. Yeah, yeah. But before he got it,

Starting point is 01:22:36 you knew him from The Daily Show. And so, but I mean, that's what I mean. You can be, but you weren't, there's a difference between between people knowing who you are and then being a celebrity. It's everywhere you go. It's a prop.

Starting point is 01:22:56 Yeah, it's like everybody just knows who you are. There's a gigantic difference. You can see David Spade walk around. Everybody knows who David Spade is. They see him and they go, I know that. Chris Rock. Chris Rock. Everybody knows who they are.

Starting point is 01:23:09 And so there's – but there's a difference of that and that. Steve Carell before it was like – we knew who he was because of the Daily Show being in comedy. He was very funny. A lot of people knew who he was. But the world didn't know who he was. And then The Office came and now everybody knows who he is uh but the world didn't know who he was and then the office came and now everybody knows who he is yeah they uh you would do those auditions for your pilot and sometimes you would

Starting point is 01:23:31 talk to me and tell me who i was auditioning it's always for the parents it's people from my generation and i would always be like oh my gosh patrick duffy yeah you gotta get him yeah yeah he did it for step by step well i know him from dallas oh my gosh, Patrick Duffy. Yeah. You got to get him. He did it for Step by Step. Well, I know him from Dallas. Oh, okay. Oh, my bad. It's J.R. Ewing's brother, Bobby Ewing.

Starting point is 01:23:55 So it was always people, I would have been the one of like, the first person I knew, that's him, we got to go with him. But he used a little restraint, I guess. Yeah, well, he was great. They're all great. You just kind of, I mean, we didn't, he was great. They're all great. You just kind of... I mean, we didn't. We got... We ended up being the...

Starting point is 01:24:08 But was it because they're famous because they were the best part? They were just very, very good together. Yeah. Kurt Woodsmith and Debra Jo Root. Yeah. And I mean, they're bringing that back on Netflix. They were just so unbelievable.

Starting point is 01:24:20 In the episode where Jim proposes to Pam, they wanted to use a real rest stop on Merritt Parkway, but it would cost $100,000. Plus, they wouldn't be able to use fake rain, which is important to the scene. So they built a replica of the parkway in a rest stop. The shot ended up costing $250,000. But Greg Daniels said,

Starting point is 01:24:39 it's the most expensive and elaborate shot we've ever done, but it's also the highlight of five years of storytelling. Yeah. I would have never guessed that wasn't a real rest stop yeah i thought it was a real yeah it's two so why don't you just do a real rest stop i guess it's hard yeah i mean you said that one would cost a hundred thousand and they wanted rain seemed like yeah they could wait for some rain but yeah i guess you want you got to get really lucky yeah that is, you got to get really lucky. Yeah, that is good. You got to get really lucky. You can see all the drinks inside to see the person.

Starting point is 01:25:14 It looks super real, man. Yeah, it's like you could do it. But it's funny, if you don't dress it up or have it put like that, it could look terrible. There's a big, I've heard on some podcasts there's a big debate over whether the listeners should be able to hear what they say in this moment this proposal so many of the offices like uh the more intimate moments are actually filmed from afar like this the cameraman secretly filming them. There's a big debate whether to just let this, you just see it happen. And I think that would have been really cool.

Starting point is 01:25:50 I think you ended up hearing it. Oh, you did hear it? Yeah, you did hear him ask her to marry him. Yeah. I didn't think you did. You can hear it, yeah. Okay. Well, and maybe I'm getting mixed up with when Michael leaves

Starting point is 01:26:05 and Pam runs to the airport and says goodbye to him, you can't hear what they say, and the producers told her, just go tell him what you would really say to him, and she did. She said she was real tears, and she just told Steve Carell that she loved him and would miss him and goodbye to him. Yeah. And they just let it roll. That's really cool.

Starting point is 01:26:23 That's awesome. Yeah. There's a couple moments like that. There's also a moment where Jim gives Pam the letter that he put in the teapot. Yeah. And finally lets her read it.

Starting point is 01:26:31 Yeah. And I've heard that he actually wrote a letter to Jenna Fisher, the actress. A personal letter to her. And that's her reading the actual letter

Starting point is 01:26:40 on the episode. Oh, wow. That's her real reaction. I love stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah. Gas station's fake, though. It's all fraud. In the show finale,

Starting point is 01:26:54 they kept Steve Carell so secret that they kept it out of the dailies. Didn't want anybody to know at the table read they had Creed read Michael Scott's lines. Creed Bratton. In the season finale? finale in the series finale when he came back for dwight's oh at the very very end the very last steps the real he doesn't talk though right he has a few lines he said it's like you watched your kids grow up and marry each other yeah it's every parent's dream yeah yeah he said i think he has

Starting point is 01:27:25 a that's what she said and stuff like that i mean it's very few lines yeah but he didn't want it to be about him no but that is that's a weird thing like if you don't want it to be about you i get it it's their time because he's been gone but you're like but that's what i mean he's like he wanted it to be about those actors and that's where you're like but it's not about the actors but the audience and the audience is who you made the show the audience is the reason this show is what it is i mean it's because of these actors but that you you do it for the what the audience would want it's not uh you know i mean it's not like i know what I mean? It's not like, I understand the sweetness of it to be like,

Starting point is 01:28:08 he was so famous then. He doesn't want to come back to overshadow like all the work that they'd done. But it's kind of like, it's the work that all of you done. And it's the reason you get to be where you're at is because your greatness and how great you are in the writing of this show. But you only get that because that audience wants to see that and so there's a weird line right yeah i think they i think they played it nicely oh i wanted a lot more oh you want a lot

Starting point is 01:28:39 more from him yeah and i think i had heard the rumor that he and maybe it was just a rumor but it was turned out to be, that he was coming back. And then I was disappointed he didn't say more. Yeah, I think I was too. In the episode. It was like, that's the point, is to have him come back and... I didn't mind it. By that point, you'd gone

Starting point is 01:28:57 two whole seasons without him. It's just kind of a nice balance. Did he only do two seasons without him? He left in the middle of season seven. Yeah. And then seasons eight and nine are all. I need to go back. I'm going to go back and start.

Starting point is 01:29:09 I was going back and re-watching the whole thing, and then I kind of stopped, and I'm going to go back now. Because I got to kind of hit a point, even when he was there, where I was like, all right, it should have ended then. Oh, I agree. On the Seinfeld episode with Mark Norman, you said how the show kind of tanked. And some people really defended it, but I totally agree with you.

Starting point is 01:29:29 Oh, The Office? Yeah. Oh, they thought it. People liked it. They were like, the characters finally got to develop more after he left. I feel like they changed. I mean, who wrote that? The characters?

Starting point is 01:29:39 Who was those comments? Dave Bryan and Mike McMurdy. Yeah, it was Jenna Fisher and Angela. You're like... I totally agree with you. I think those last season's tanks, even before he left the show, it was getting...

Starting point is 01:29:56 It's not about tanking. They just... You talk about... I'm not tanking ratings. No, I just don't think it was good. It was not good. I respected the show and loved the show so much that I wrote it out and watched every episode. But I was like, if I didn't have any love for the show, I would have stopped.

Starting point is 01:30:12 Yeah. And it has nothing against them, but you're like, yeah, you're as a group. It's like a band. Like, if one person left, you'd be like, well, I'm kind of out now. Like, it's not trashing any of the other people in it. It's just being like, I was buying the whole package. Yeah. And so when the whole package is gone, then it's gone.

Starting point is 01:30:30 It's not like, you know, I'm not going to get in. You know, it's not then like, well, I hope everybody, let me see the other character. You know, it's like, it's the show. It's all about the show. It's not about one person. It's all of you've worked together. Yeah, season seven, even before he left,

Starting point is 01:30:47 there were some that were, to me, getting not as good. One of my favorite last ones that he did was when they go to the board meeting in New York City and all the shareholders, they're all furious at him. Yeah. And he gets up there on stage. He's like, we're going to come back with a 45-point plan. Yeah, 45-point plan. back with, what is it, a 45 point plan? Yeah, 45 point plan,

Starting point is 01:31:06 45 days, one point per day. Yeah. And they're cheering, you, you, and he runs back on stage like he's a special.

Starting point is 01:31:13 Yeah, we will also be completely carbon neutral like ridiculous claims. Yeah. James Spader was just supposed to make a cameo,

Starting point is 01:31:23 but they liked his energy so much they felt like it brought something new to cameo, but they liked his energy so much, they felt like it brought something new to the show. So they made him a regular. Yeah, when they were trying to fill his... Because that's when they were trying to fill his replacement. And did he end up becoming the replacement? No.

Starting point is 01:31:40 Well, they kind of did a little bit of everything. Nelly was for a while. Andy was the replacement. Yeah, Andy. Ed Helms kept having to leave to film movies and stuff. So they kept having to write just reasons why his character would leave. So first it was he went to anger management for a while early on. I think that's when he was filming The Hangover.

Starting point is 01:32:01 And then he comes back and then he goes to the Bahamas on a yacht. He just keeps leaving. So that character kind of, I don't know. him in the hangover and then he comes back and then he goes to the bahamas on a yacht he just keeps leaving so that character kind of i don't know i feel like there's progress with him then he just kind of becomes a crazy person yeah i almost didn't like it at first and then i did then i didn't mind him and then when they were going to make him the boss i was like i don't care about this at all i agree but i think they uh i'd rather have been it's like it should have been maybe dwight and then make it just go dwight crazy or something like or maybe you know i've been maybe it's too much dwight but he fired a gun yeah the gun in the office yeah but he ends up the manager at the end yeah will ferrell was actually the

Starting point is 01:32:45 first manager yeah d'angelo vickers yeah and he was pretty great yeah that's just yeah but that was a short-lived thing yeah it was like everybody's too it's almost go back through all the people that they could have got before at the beginning and they're like well you're just too famous now yeah but andy uh yeah andy ed helms was like just too He was just too famous He was like too going His career was too good Yeah Yeah Taken off

Starting point is 01:33:09 Yeah Yeah They were supposed to do An office spin off For Dwight Called The Farm But then they just Decided to pass on it

Starting point is 01:33:17 But there's an episode One of the last episodes When He's I forgot He's like Looking at the will Do you remember this

Starting point is 01:33:24 With his cousin Or something like that? It's when the show, to me, has gotten really bad. I think, yeah, I think the pilot became, it just became an episode on the show. It's where his aunt dies and then he comes in the office and he's throwing dirt at people, inviting them to the funeral. Yeah. And you meet his brother and his sister. Yeah. That was going to be the pilot for this spinoff.

Starting point is 01:33:44 Yeah. And it just went nowhere. Yeah. There's a couple episodes they've now removed one where he does the shrewd christmas and this friend shows up in blackface yeah and they've taken that just that scene a little part of it out yeah yeah and why did he show them it was i think that's a real thing right he was reenacting this he was i can't remember the name of it he's this old german santa claus and he has a sidekick crankus or cringing who's in blackface and they go you better not bring that guy in and then he calls his friend nate you see his friend nate walking through the parking lot in blackface yeah and uh yeah they cut that part out you can't get that anywhere now yeah that n Nate was a writer or something on it, right?

Starting point is 01:34:25 I think so. Mose, Cousin Mose is one of the main writers on the show. Yeah, that's what I mean. Cousin Mose. Michael Schur, I think is his name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Comedy Central, when they started airing The Office, they took out Diversity Day.

Starting point is 01:34:41 Yeah. Which to me is ridiculous. Because the whole thing is making fun of people that don't get diversity. Right. Right. So. Yeah. Anyway. What are you going to do, right?

Starting point is 01:34:52 Jim wore fake hair. At least you moved on from it. It is great. That was a funny episode. Yeah. That might have been like the second episode that ever aired. I think it was. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:35:03 It was that first season. Jim wore fake hair in season three because he was shooting the movie Leatherheads. So John Krasinski wore fake hair, excuse me. He had to shave his head. Leatherheads? What is that, a horror movie? No, it's about a 1920s football team. Oh.

Starting point is 01:35:19 Oh. Is that movie good? I never saw it. I've never heard of it. Yeah, what is his hair? Is his... Oh, his hair wasn't as long or something? I I never saw it. I've never heard of it. Yeah. What is his hair? Does his... Oh, his hair wasn't as long or something? I think he shaved it one time for the movie, so they...

Starting point is 01:35:32 I wonder. That's some pretty big names, though. Yeah, George Clooney's in it. Renee Zellweger, John Krasinski. Yeah. He really, man, popped off. I mean, he's huge. He is.

Starting point is 01:35:44 He's such a good actor. Yeah. Yeah. 13 hours I'll off. I mean, he's huge. He is. He's such a good actor. Yeah. 13 hours I'll watch. I could watch it every day. I've never seen it. 13 hours? No, I've heard it. It looks pretty cool, though.

Starting point is 01:35:53 I could watch it every day. Yeah. I honestly, it's, I stop myself from watching it every day. I want to watch it every day. Roy's in that, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:36:03 I want to, I mean, I go, that's enough. That's how much I would like to watch it. Wow.'s in that too yeah yeah yeah i want to i mean i go that's enough that's how much i would like to watch wow yeah that's great john krasinski and bj novak were high school classmates that's pretty crazy oh wow played little league baseball together oh wow john krasinski was in bj novak's play that he put on ed helms and brian Brian Baumgartner went to the same high school as well. They were a year apart in Atlanta. Wow. Where did Krasinski grow up? Massachusetts, I think. BJ Novak had a big... He wrote a lot of this stuff

Starting point is 01:36:33 too. Yeah, he's great too. Yeah, he's great. His character really grew on me too. I thought it was really funny when he got that job and was up there and then moved back. BJ was great. You know what's a cool, my favorite little piece of trivia of The Office is that all the writers that are also actors,

Starting point is 01:36:51 which is Toby and Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak, because they needed them to have to do stuff as writers, that's why all those characters were in the back room, the annex. Oh, wow. So that they could be writing when they're not. They didn't need to be characters were in the back room the annex oh wow so that so that they could be writing when they're not they didn't need to be in scenes in the background yeah i just think that's so cool yeah that's crazy that's a lot of work yeah yeah yeah just how much he had to orchestrate like that's pretty wild in the episode where jim signs meredith's cask, he signed it John Krasinski. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:37:26 A little tidbit there. The cast around her crotch? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And the one where, the gay witch hunt, where Michael kisses Oscar.

Starting point is 01:37:35 He wasn't supposed to do that. He was supposed to just hug him, but he just improvised and went in for the kiss. Yeah. And Oscar said he just went with it. Yeah. That was funny. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:37:42 It is very funny. You've met him, right? Oscar? Yeah. Yeah. Long time ago. Yeah. He was very nice yeah yeah great dude yeah i've only yeah i don't know if i met that's it at the office who do i met hey you met krasinski yeah i've met krasinski like briefly in that thing and then oscar and those are the only two and katie azleton was in the office oh yeah what was was she? She was the episode where Michael gives blood,

Starting point is 01:38:07 and he gets a crush on a girl around the corner. Oh, yeah. That's her. That is true. Oh, yeah. The Scrantones was the band who wrote the theme music, recorded the theme music for The Office, and they're the band that's on the Booze Cruise episode.

Starting point is 01:38:21 Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's really cool. So I wanted to just ask what, before you wrap up, what's your favorite episodes? I think mine's that, I think the business school, that's got the,

Starting point is 01:38:32 you know, which is written, By your buddy, Brent Forrester. Yeah, Brent Forrester. Brent Forrester. And so, well, because me and him

Starting point is 01:38:43 wrote something that didn't go anywhere, but Brent's a wonderful person and a greatrest. And so, well, because me and him wrote something that didn't go anywhere, but Brent's a wonderful person and a great writer. And so he was, it was fun to, like, when I worked with him, like, he was like, oh, man, that's my favorite episode. I just think it showed the heart of, it had everything. It's very funny. It's a very funny episode. It had him giving that speech of paper dying.

Starting point is 01:39:03 Like, they go in there, he rips the book and all that stuff and then to close it with the uh you know i need to go back and like probably i don't know if i've watched like seinfeld where i think of like every episode like is every storyline perfect and all this kind of stuff but i can't remember i think a lot of the storylines are very good in that one and i mean when he comes in and likes that painting i mean that's just maybe my i mean it's the that's the sweetest moment of uh and i and i loved it and i so i love i loved it i love that so much that like that's just you're like this kind of guy is the best guy that could ever exist just it was pure sweet you know just it's so and like truly excited and being like that painting is awesome and it's and being like that looks like our building like

Starting point is 01:39:53 that's crazy you know just that kind of you know kind of person like i like that i i love the gym and pam like them getting together i could watch that all day long. Like, I mean, them, you know, that kind of back and forth. I mean, it was just wonderful. Yeah. So well done. What was yours? Probably The Deposition, which is the episode where Michael gets called to give a deposition when Jan is suing Dunder Mifflin.

Starting point is 01:40:18 And it starts off, I love that it starts off very competent, and then it just, he just unravels. And then one of my favorite moments of the whole show is comes right back from commercial and it's the stenographer reading back the minutes where he just reading what michael had just said that's what she said who said that that's what it's just so funny yeah that's that's like well she butchered the timing one time he goes, lying. Yeah, lying.

Starting point is 01:40:46 He said lying like in a play. Business school is one of my favorites too. I like the ones where it's sweet, Michael moment. It's the one where, I don't know what it's about, where Jim throws the party at his house. Doesn't want Michael there. I think Michael goes to his improv class, which is so funny. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:41:07 Having all the improvs. Yeah. But then he shows up anyway, and he does karaoke, and he sings Islands in the Stream. Yeah. And nobody wants to sing with him, and then Jim gets up there. Yeah. And I love that because it's such a sweet scene.

Starting point is 01:41:18 That is, yeah. Yeah. When he does that gun scene, he goes, what did he tell you? He told me he can't show me but he but he does have a gun yeah uh the dinner party is often considered the funniest and i do love it i love that when he pulls that tv out yeah i just loved hearing how they couldn't get through it yeah like there's a lot of outtakes of jim laughing yeah just I mean, you could tell that they truly loved each other. And as a cast, I would imagine.

Starting point is 01:41:48 And that stuff, that's what matters. That stuff shows in real on camera. I mean, if you can't believe that these people still talk to each other, I think that's what Seinfeld is. You still believe that you're like, they talk to each other. That's what you want to believe as a fan. Yeah, I think that's what Seinfeld is. Like, you still believe that you're like, they talk to each other. Like, they're... That's what you want to believe. Yeah, I think they do, though.

Starting point is 01:42:09 Yeah. I don't, I mean... No, I'm saying that's what you, you want that. Yes. So you're happy when you find out. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. And so, like, that stuff really comes off.

Starting point is 01:42:17 And I think that, I think John and Krasinski and Steve Kross seem like they're very, very close. And so it's like, I, yeah, you, yeah, you want to believe that that's all. You know, it's just very sweet. Did you like Scott's Tots? Yeah, I remember the first time I watched it. Like, it was the funniest thing. I have a hard time watching it now.

Starting point is 01:42:38 Yeah, I do too. Because I feel so bad. I do too. It's the most cringeworthy episode. Yeah. But, I mean, when it first came out, it was the funniest thing

Starting point is 01:42:47 I've ever seen. Like, it's so funny to think that he promised all this and then... Yeah. I guess I didn't like it.

Starting point is 01:42:57 Well, I mean, for obvious reasons. But usually, he'll find a way to dig himself out. And they don't. No, they don't. There's no way out of that.

Starting point is 01:43:03 You just gotta... Yeah. When the office got robbed and he offered the Huey Lewis, I mean Bruce Springsteen tickets, and he doesn't have them, that's a little bit like, it's more than incompetent. That's just outright lying

Starting point is 01:43:15 to get caught. Usually he'll find a way to... But didn't he, someone got him? Didn't he get the tickets? No, they gave away a hug. Phyllis' hug. So it ends in a sweet way because they start bidding. Bob Van spent $5,000 on a hug. But I thought they ripped the tickets. I thought he ripped them too.

Starting point is 01:43:31 Maybe you're thinking about when he had tickets. He was offering them to Holly to go to, I forget who it was. Counting Crows. Oh, Counting Crows. Counting Crows. Yeah. She had tickets to go on a date and the guy didn't show up. And he goes, you know what? Let me buy those tickets for you. She goes, you don't have to didn't show up and he goes you know what let me buy those tickets for you she goes you don't have to we can just he goes no let me buy

Starting point is 01:43:48 him and so she gives it to him and he just rips him up just like i mean we could have win yeah we could win there were great seats yeah i just watched where they roast him which is so funny yeah and then he and then he comes back at the end and boom, roasted. Yeah. And everyone starts laughing. Yeah. And he's like, all right, you guys don't know a kid. Get home safe. It's, yeah, Scott's Tots is like such a, it's a perfect episode. Like the idea of it is so funny. And it's like, I think I remember loving it. And then it's almost like the older I've gotten, I've been like,

Starting point is 01:44:24 I can't watch this. Like it's too, but I think that's why they had to have stanley just laughing the whole time because it was you know but it's and he does such a good job but it's so because it would be so funny in real life to think it's this this guy that's done something very sweet that can't you know and it's like well do you let it pay i mean you can't it's paying these kids to go to college like yeah yeah and he's just sitting there he has so much money because i thought i would have them yeah i thought i'd be a millionaire by my 30s yeah but i had less money than i did my 20s maybe when i'm 50 i don't know i just watched the episode where pam punches him yeah he said i saw my life flash before my eyes and i was married and i had three kids it's all stuff in the future that he won't so good he had so many great lines yeah uh i think

Starting point is 01:45:14 you've mentioned this before he's like man you got great kids i got a few of my own that i want someday yeah a few of my own I want someday. Yeah, it was, yeah, it's an unbelievable show. I mean, it's just so good. I don't know if we dove into it like we did Seinfeld as much, but. I mean, I got more stuff, but we're about. What was like a, or is it? Another fun fact?

Starting point is 01:45:40 Yeah. Let's see here. The real places in Scranton that they reference, Alfredo's Pizza, Poor Richard's, the bar they go to, that's all real places. You've been to Scranton, some of these places, right? Yeah, yeah. This is one of the shows I did right before COVID. You did Wilkes-Barre, right? I did Wilkes-Barre.

Starting point is 01:45:58 Yeah. But I went to Scranton to drive in. Wilkes-Barre is next to Scranton. We went to that mall. Steamtown Mall? Yeah. Steamtown Mall? Yeah. Steamtown Mall. I don't know if it was called that, but yeah.

Starting point is 01:46:09 They have a sign, the Scranton sign in there, I think. Yeah. Have you seen the video of when, after a show ends, and they go on like a ball field there in the real Scranton and do a reunion, and they surprise everybody with Steve Carell coming out? Oh, it's awesome. Oh, no. It gives me chills just thinking everybody with Steve Carell coming out. Oh, it's awesome. Oh, no.

Starting point is 01:46:25 It gives me chills just thinking about it because people go nuts. Oh, really? Yeah. He comes running out of the dugout. Where? When the show ended, they did a big thank you to Scranton. To the real town. At the Scranton Minor League Ballpark.

Starting point is 01:46:38 Yeah. And they brought out all the actors one by one. And then Steve Carell comes out at the end. They didn't know he was going to be there. Oh, wow. I don't even think the actors knew it. Oh, yeah. Or at least some of them didn't. Yeah was going to be there. Oh, wow. I don't even think the actors knew it. Oh, yeah. Or at least some of them didn't.

Starting point is 01:46:45 Yeah. It's pretty fun to watch. Oh. Shrewd Farms is a fictional place, of course, but there's been over 1,100 reviews on TripAdvisor. Yeah. But they put a warning, this is a fictional place. Please do not try to book a visit here.

Starting point is 01:47:01 Mindy Kaling, John Krasinski, Ellie Kemper all were interns for Conan. Oh, wow. Mindy Kaling John Krasinski Ellie Kemper all were interns for Conan oh wow the stress relief episode where Michael does CPR training and they do it to the beats of the BG staying alive

Starting point is 01:47:14 yeah a person who watched that episode remembered it and successfully saved someone's life that's awesome yeah

Starting point is 01:47:21 is that great that's such a great thing yeah yeah that's a I mean that's that a great thing. Yeah, that's a, I mean, that's. That whole thing.

Starting point is 01:47:27 Yeah. He starts doing the wrong song. At first I was afraid, I was petrified. And they all start singing it. And there's another one that's very, very natish

Starting point is 01:47:36 because he's like, she's like, what does it say? 60, she gives him a number and he's like, well, how many is that per hour?

Starting point is 01:47:42 And John Cruz, he's like, how's that going to help you? He's like, I'll count ahead and then I'll divide. It makes no sense. But it's very natal. My most natal line is where Jim is trying to get out of something.

Starting point is 01:47:56 He goes, I got to go give blood. And Michael goes, how many times can you give blood? He goes, is there a limit? He goes, well, your body only has so much. Does it not? How many times can you give blood. He goes, is there a limit? He goes, well, your body only has so much. Does it not? How many times can you give it? Wouldn't there be a point where it's got to stop? Yeah, you got to stop, right?

Starting point is 01:48:12 Not all time. Like, over years and years is what he meant. Yeah. I wonder what the amount is, though. This is why I said it's an age. Like, what's a month or something? I know, but how many times would it be like, well, you're out of blood?

Starting point is 01:48:27 It replenishes pretty quick. Yeah, you got to wait at least eight weeks between donations of blood. About two months. Yeah. Six times a year. So if you did... If you gave blood once a day for like,

Starting point is 01:48:43 yeah, you'd probably run out. You'd run out yeah taps dry they flick it they flick it to me that's what i mean though no one gives an answer uh-huh that's like when someone asks how much can you give then they go oh you laugh and you go but you don't know the actual answer but then no one you're like but just give me like i'm it's a serious question i want to go, you know. And the episode where Jim pops Dwight's fitness orb, it was a complete accident. Which I don't know how that, I thought he used scissors.

Starting point is 01:49:13 I thought he did too. Pop it. When he's, Jim's consoling Dwight in the staircase and then Jim gets up and walks away and Dwight reaches over and he's gone. That was completely improvised. Oh yeah. Yeah. According to this. According to this. According to this.

Starting point is 01:49:28 Steve Carell left the show after seven seasons. He was still adored by the cast so much that he'd always been number one on the call sheet. And when they left, they retired the number one
