I had to make it fun. That was a music theater move if I've ever heard one. That was my best one yet. Hey, guys. You stopped that one. No pressure, man. No pressure. Congrats to you, winner.

Well done. So, against my wishes, my authority figures at this are our beloved podcast. Brittany and cousin Jake and enlight you, the producers of the show, suggested that we should do something that we haven't done in a long time. We ain't done it. Actually, you know what?

I will admit, last month I did the Conan O'Brien podcast, and I kind of missed. Yeah, yeah, I checked. It was good, man. They kind of, thank you. So they kind of like, I forgot that while I was doing that interview, I was like, damn, I used to have this type of synergy on my own podcast. Like, why don't we go back to that? So, yes, we are, this is not, someone didn't stand us up.

It's intentional. Well, with that laugh now, does someone stand this up? No, no, no, no. No, no, no. Actually, no. You just tried to fill in this gap a lot of times, so I got confused because I was like. Well, yeah, I was trying to go for Narda Michael Walden, and we were trying to go with, I mean, right now, I'm just dying to get to anyone over the age of 65 because you never know. Just interview yourself then.

Yeah, exactly. Whoa, geriatric jokes. Damn. Oh, we all up there, Steve. You just had a birthday. How was it, Steve? Yeah, just keep coming. Steve is 108 years old.

It was incredible. I stayed home. That's good. Wait, is that good? Yeah, that's what you do on your birthday. That's what you do on your birthday. You know what? I think I was sick or my birthday.

You ever been on sick or on Christmas or your birthday? Yes. What's Christmas? Really? Is it too early for people to laugh at my jokes? That was actually good. Your Jewish Christmas jokes are a landing. right now. Yeah. Well done.

Maybe I'm supposed to be in Will Ferrell's podcast. I'm in the wrong room. Oh, yeah. Hopefully he'll you know. How about a mercy laugh or anything? Or we can just start over. So we're in Los Angeles. Yeah. Is this a vacation of sorts, or are you guys still?

This is my only vacation. I feel like Bill's about to go out of his mind if he doesn't. I feel like we're taking away from something really important right now. No. No, no, no, no. I mean by the presence, I just meant like, you got real shit going on. We all got real shit going on. You really got real shit. No. Do you notice that for real, for real,

Bill is worse than you when it comes to, like, the flower. He's seeing him, he's all, like, weird. He's getting, he's turning white. All right. I don't do well with flowers. Let's start with Bill then. Yeah. All right.

Yeah, I'm doing. This is like 20 questions. Let's go. Bill, what you've been up to? First and last episode of Quest Love Supreme. Sorry, Bill Sherbin. No, what you've been up to, man? So the Tony's over.

The Tony's over. I didn't win any Tony's. And Julia's still running. Julia's still running. Okay. And it's expanded. It's expanded. It's in Singapore.

Let people know what it is. Let people know what it is. And Juliet is a musical I worked on. It's the retelling of Romeo and Juliet with the songs of Max Martin, Swedish pop songwriter, extraordinaire. So basically Brittany and sing Backstreet Boys. Yeah, I'm still shocked that he wrote

that Bon Jovi song. It's my life? I didn't know he wrote it. So was he first? Was who first? Okay, my analogy is what Bangladesh is to Calais for bossy is it's my life that for

for his catalog like is that the first big song that he wrote no he I mean he did all the backstreet boys stuff so the first like what was his very first joint that um ace of bass I saw the sign was one of his earlier ones and then um you know Robin not Robin show me love Robin

he wrote that or give me love okay and then all the early backstory song that was big quit playing games with my heart and okay blah blah blah so I thought the Bon Jovi joint came. Well, that's way later. Oh, so he jumped on the bandwagon.

I get now. Okay. Yeah, I mean, like, that was like a one-off for him. There's a couple of those that are existing the show, too. But mostly it's like, you know, it's Backstreet Boys. It's some in sync stuff. A lot of Britney stuff. And then like Ariana and the weekend and blah, blah, blah.

You know, it's weird. Without me knowing who he was, we actually had a Max Martin song doing the tipping point, period. Really? and then he scoffed and was sort of like I don't want this hit-ass song going to this group like who are they and then I believe he gave that song to

you remember Tila Tequila? Shut up. What? Shut it. By the way, where Tila at? She was the original influence. She was going back up when I last seen her. She was like on the Trump bandwagon for a second.

Oh, nice. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, but she was the first, she was that kind of what influences are now. She was kind of the first of that on MySpace. Pre, yeah, like pre- Instagram, pre-T Twitter. Her and Tom? Tom's and Friends.

Tom was MySpace. Tom was MySpace. Tom was MySpace. But it wasn't like we went to him directly. It was a, there was an artist from Philly. I'm forgetting because I should know him. Dude was actually incredible. If you have our two-violum, greatest hits compilation whenever, he's like singing and break you off.

Do you remember old boy? No, no, but I just nodding because I love that, I love that compilation, the understanding. Oh, yeah, with the lie joins on it. Yeah, it's just so cool. Right. So he, the time, like, Rich discovered him, I think his father was somehow associated with Bunny Sigler or, like, instant funk or whatever, but this dude, I mean, he's sort of, he was Bilal Light or whatever, but he had a joint called, like, all my skater friends,

all my hipster friends. We all want the same thing. We all want the same thing. The song was, like, we made the song dope. But basically, Max Martin was just like, in word, please. I can't wait, too. Like, let me give this to someone

that's really going to elevate the song. So I think, like, Tikaika used it for, I guess she had a reality show on VH1, right? Fighting her a date or something like that. Right. Well, that was, I guess that was the theme of it. So I hope he's happy with that decision. I can't wait to ask him

It went to the right You probably don't remember He probably didn't know what a roots was You know He know now though What a root's was So let me get in a time machine And travel back

15 years and get that song back Yeah, man Really good play. So what's next for you, Bill? Well, let's see Sesame Street's happening Sesame Street is not part of the writer's strike Which is now over

But so it continues to move on And then I don't know My daughter made the volleyball team as an eighth grader, so we go to a lot of volleyball, which is great. Can we get new titles for them because now they're not kids anymore? They're not. So before they were what, we called them.

We're the angel and the devil. Yeah, they still are that. But now they're just older and it's different. I don't know, Fonte, you can talk to this. Like, when your kids get older, it's like, there's like a weird moment where they sort of switch into like, you don't have to like care for them all the time and they don't really want to be around you that much.

So they say the words, dad. Yeah. Or just like, can I, I know, I know. it's we're supposed to be with you, but like, can we just not be with you? Yeah. I'd rather be with my friends. And then weirdly, the other, what the younger one, like, she gets really empathy. She gets really sad.

She's like, like, I want to go to my friend's house, but I feel really bad leaving you here all alone. As if I'm like this like lonely loser that I'm right. Right, right. I'm like, you know what? I'm fine. Like, don't worry about me. I'm gonna, I'm finished this about Jameson. Yeah.

I was like, I'm good of being alone. Don't worry about it. I'm totally, you know, but she's weirdly feels bad. Wait, can I ask, all right. So I revisited, uh, doing the, uh, doing the the strike because there was nothing to watch. I revisited a show with a character in a similar situation with two daughters.

Said character's been... All right, fuck it. Come on, man. I was re-watching Louie. Oh, okay. And there was an episode where they're on a subway train and the youngest one who is sort of the Rebel Rouser decides

at the last minute to run off the train as the train closes and you know, so when you're saying the more mischievous, one is she that level of near devil okay she's she's too afraid to do that okay the idea of like being like alone on a subway platform scares the shit i'm sure out of her but like she she's she's just more outspoken like okay so we're having dinner the other day and she just got a cell phone she's 11 years old and she we were out to dinner and i said can you please put your phone down we're having

dinner and she goes sure i just need to say goodbye to this person and i was like no no no no no no know put the cell phone down she was like but like she she didn't understand that like this was the end of this conversation and she got really mad about it and so I then I grabbed her phone and when I like when you physically do something to a child it's a thing and so I grabbed the phone I put it over here and she was so pissed and like and but then weirdly I was also out to dinner with my ex-wife and her husband and so but what weirdly what she got remarried she's about to and did not know this yeah okay well we haven't had a thing here we are now you know so but we all three of of us weirdly, like, without talking, agreed that.

How dare she fucking do that? And we all equally got mad at her, which was nice. There was like some solidarity on the side of parenting, which felt right. With my ex-wife and her soon-to-be husband, the people who I should be in full agreement with at all times. What the fuck? Anyway, there you go. That's called maturity.

Team work. Team work. But yeah, but she's like, she's like very defiant. I think is the right word. Another D word. She's defiant as opposed to like daredevil. Hey, Bill, can I ask you a question? Yes.

What's the last coolest thing you did on the street? What was that you remember? Like this is fucking cool. On the street? Yeah. I call it the street. Like Sesame Street. On Sesame Street?

Oh. Well, we were just at a thing with Hym. Hym was on Sesame Street last year and I wrote a song for them about the ABCs and they were super fun. I'm sorry. That's not H-A-M? No, I think it's H-A-M, isn't it? H-A-M? Are you doing the Jewish remix?

Isn't that how they say it was? I thought it was Hame. I'm pretty sure. It's not that. That's what I believe it's Hym. I think I just said it right. And these are, this is the two girls. The sisters.

The three sisters. Yeah, they were on Sester Street. They did great. They had a really good time. That was cool. I'm trying to think what else. Wait, I have a Sesame. I think I always asked this.

I feel as though the late 90s and early aughts was Elmo season. You guys went heavy on Elmo and kind of laid back on the Muppets I grew up with. Like Grover wasn't getting no play. Herbert Bird's Foot probably still in that. Exactly. Yeah. Guy smiley.

You know what I mean? Yeah, I was, my. Don't act like there's not a seven in the third digit of your birthday. You name with electric company people. I don't know these people. Okay. Yes. Lai was born in the early 90s people.

Yeah. Wink. Wow. Right. Right there. After grunge. Lai was right. Right.

But what I'm saying is that is there a development staff that's like, yo, we got to introduce new Muppets and new characters and sort of phase old ones out? I think it's less about phasing old ones out and more about just new ones. So, like, we have one that's like, She's Korean. Her name's G. Young, and there's another one who has autism, and her name is... Julia. I have one that isn't, like, the kids' parents are, like, incarcerated or something.

You got that? Yep. What's that one name? I don't know. Rahim? Right. I knew where this is going. Thank you.

I couldn't make that thing. I am. I wasn't that. I actually... I actually... His name is D. His name is D. Elmo. I actually looked it up the other day for some of the other day for some.

some weird reason, there's 3,400 Muppets in the history of Muppetry. Really? Well, that's Jim Hinson, too. 3,400. How's that impossible? There's the Sesame Street Muppets, right? And then there's, like, the Muppet's, like, this piggy

and Kermit, blah, and there's two separate things. And there's... That's Jim Hinson. Yeah, okay. I know, but 3,400? How do you... Well, people are busy making puppets. Sesame Street must be, like, an entire, like...

Empire? Yeah, like a whole... No, I mean, it's not a street anymore. It's a... It's not a street. It's a block. It's a movie. They made one since the Big Bird movie, which was really awesome.

Do you have any ends on that? No, there was. And then I don't know what happened. It just disappeared. Like things, like, I'm learning that things in Hollywood just do. They puff into smoke. The Muppets, the last one I saw, it was the one where Kermit, it was, who was the evil Kermit? Yeah.

It was the Muppet's Most Wanted or something? Yeah. That one was good. Like in the last 10 years. That one was good. That one was good. That one was good. There's a song.

on there on the soundtrack, because I think the guys who do Flight of Concours, yeah. There's a song on there that Constantine sings, and it sounds like a Jamiriqui song. That shit is jamming. That shit jamming like here. It's called, I get you what you want. It's basically a tricking anthem.

It's like Constantine telling him this, I buy you whatever you want and shit. Oh, is that where Evil Kermit comes from? Yes. Isn't it where that? That's just a jamming, though. The song jamming. Like, have you guys have meetings about the fact that T T comes from you guys and

Oh, like the memes you mean? Yeah, like spill the tea. Oh, oh. But that's not them. That's Jimenson. That's, yeah, that's the Muppets. So Kermit is officially not Team Sesame Street anymore. You haven't done Muppet Newsflash?

I've only worked with Kermit once. There was like a season 50 anniversary thing. And Kermit sang with Elvis Costello being green on the set. The only time I ever hung out with Kermit and it's the only time there's been a crossover in years. So who's Grover's foil if Kermit's no longer on. the show. Grover's dead, son. I'm not sure if you're heard.

Grover's his own form. Grover has diabetes. He's like, do, are Muppets allowed to get old? Like, I was, I feel like Grover is the original Elmo. And then y'all was. You almost had colorism issues or something. Y'all just gave it to. Blue people got pissed.

Neurotic. You know what's interesting is like when people come on the show who are older than R.A., whatever, they want to they want to be part of like Bert and Ernie and Grover and like, And they don't, our people in our generation don't, know them, don't understand, like, Abby and Elmo are the younger generation of puppets.

They're always, by the way, they don't age. They're always three years old or five or something like that. And so it's always interesting to see what people resonate with what puppets and why. And it's just because were they on the TV more when they were kids or is like, that's like, Harry Stiles was like, I need to meet Big Bird. I had a Big Bird stuff.

People have like requests when they get. Oh, all the time. Did you? You were like, I want to be. No, well, you stuck me with prayer. Look, I like Prairie Dawn. But you had a whole little over. I was kind of hoping.

Look, all you're doing is revealing to me that you didn't want Sesame Street as a kid. Were you an adult soon as he came out the womb? No, but I was more electric company. Oh, okay. That shows a whole other thing. I did that show, too. I only wanted Ernie and Burt because, you know, you guys used to end every sketch with Muppets just falling backwards.

And again, impression will meet. That's also another reason why I'm teaching. was very monitored because, you know, used to just, no one told me that if you fall backwards on a hard object. This explains a lot, actually, about you. Blood might be drawn, yeah. Concussion protocol, please.

Nope. Why don't they do a Muppets, where are they now? Like, did Ernie and Burt move to Florida and retire? The original people, right? Like, the voices, they're not with us. Well, does matter. Nuffalo Luffalo is not. It kind of matters, though.

It does matter to me. That's why I feel like you do need to develop new characters because, like, the new Ernie is kind of getting, is maybe known the intonation and inflections, but... Well, to diehards like you, you can tell the difference, but, like, to most people, like, the newer people who have done it... But we should be watching anyway.

Right, right, right, right. Amir, that's a much larger question that I don't know we have a time for in this particular. The first time you talked to be all concerned, you were like, wait, are you still telling me you still actively watch Sesame Street? And I was like, you're like, falling down. Soul train up. Yeah, I don't know what you can talk about, Bill. Got your favorite songs?

FaceTime and just move the TV. Right, exactly, exactly. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say it. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct?

I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfectant. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Alesspian and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown.

I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona. Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's two golden rules that any man should live by.

Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck.

I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends.

Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Ego Wode. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell.

Woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day. And I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through and I know it's a place that come look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah.

He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be.

Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to thanks dad on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. So, Leah, how's your comedy? Wait, why did you say? Don't do that. Don't do it. Don't do it. How's your comedy career?

Don't ask me that question. Literally, I had a podcast listener, walk up on me in Lamert Park. Like two weeks ago, I was like, Hey, Laia, I listen to QLS, NJ.Ail, how's your comedy going? I was like, God day. Why are you paying a fucking tension?

I got three jobs. It'd be hard to. I feel you. But how's the comedy going? Maybe you could turn that how you don't want to talk about comedy into a comedy routine. I write all the time.

I have an ongoing little notepad in my phone and I just write the jokes and I think one day Is that something that you still like want to do? Do you really want to do stand up or is it you know? I don't know. That shit made me really nervous and shit. Ever since

since you gave me the critique I feel like I don't know, I've been scared to go back ever since. That's not your fault. That's me. I have to get my confidence together because you gave me a nice like this is what you need to. You don't bring your phone up on the stage with you. Like can we get rid of comedians? I know. Can we get rid of the ones

that do that? But I like when Dionne Cole does it. Oh, you need notes. Yeah. It's not you need no. And too, just to record yourself. Every comedian I say, they say, like, always record your sets. I love the way Dionne Cole do it.

Like, he actually is coming out, like, checking jokes and see if they work. Like. Mm-hmm. So is it something that you still have a passion for, aside from, you know, the feedback I gave or whatever? I don't know about having a passion for doing stand-up per se. I have a passion for doing funny things. I have a passion for entertaining people.

I have a passion for making people laugh. and I wanted to make sure that I even knew the ends and outs and the mechanics of comedy before even saying that this is something I want to do. So that's what I did when I moved here. I was Sittaric who was like, don't tell nobody that you took a comedy class. But I did, and I'm proud of it. Why didn't you tell people you tell them? Oh, no, that's what Tariq told me once when I was about to get on stage for delirious.

Mr. Reluctant, no. But I was proud because I took it from a woman who was a writer for Chelsea Handler, and it was more about just formulas. Because, like, if you had no idea about comedy, you don't know there are formulas. You don't know the callback. You don't know the rules of three. You don't know. So, yeah.

So I wanted to make sure that, like, if I was going to at least to attempt this, that it wasn't just, like, on a whim. You know? I wonder if UCB, I wonder what level of comedy do you have to be to enter a UCB or Second City or a comedy? They probably have different levels. Yeah, I've done improv. I did improv in Philly. I was so funny I forget the things I've done theater

and theater groups and dinner theater and stuff like that so for me it's just always about making sure because you know how well studied you guys are your craft I want to feel like that but everything that I do whatever I was going to say I mean I think the studying part I mean from my standpoint

it wasn't a whole lot of studying it was just doing and kind of learning from there because that was my question I was going to ask you so the classes that you took did you feel they were informative for you like Were they helpful? Yes. Yes.

Yes. Because I had the words, but I might not know how to close the joke. You know what I mean? So, yeah. And it gave me confidence. Classes did. Mm-hmm. And then after you did that set at, uh...

Was that your last time ever going up again? The delirious thing? Was that your... I mean, we're going to be all this. It's cool. No, it might have been it. No, that was the last time. That was the last time.

That was the last time. I've been on stage three times. And it was, yep. That was the last time. The first time was at. The first time was at. Tarek's original delirious in Philly. Yep, yeah.

Did you feel like you got, I don't know, we got better every time. Did you feel more confident? Like, every time you did it, did it get a little easier? Yeah, because I'm gonna tell you, like, I'm a confident person on stage, period, because I host parties, I host events.

Like, this is what I do. But that shit was nervous as shit. Like, I had to make sure I emptied out my bladder because either way, I'm a T-T on myself a little bit. T-T. I'm a T-T. Did you ever think that you could? Um,

because I think you could. But if people say that to me, too. He absolutely could. Nah, man. Nah, so when Hannibal, when he was here the other day, like, I had him when he came out to Raleigh, he hit me to, like, introduce him, you know what I'm saying? Like, to be his, like, emcee or whatever.

And, I mean, I might have did, like, five minutes, just kind of warming up the crowd, whatever. But, no, man, that's just something. I'd rather do that. I like doing that. Yeah. I like hosting warming up crowds and, like, doing all that. Yes.

Yeah, and that's a lane. And that's why I asked you, it's something you want to do. For me, like, when I did, when I've been in those spaces, like, stand up first. of all, that shit is the hardest of all the disciplines for me. You know what I mean? Because it's one thing to just be the funny dude at the cookout or the funny dude at game night or whatever the fuck.

Sitting in front of people who have paid money with the expectation of make me laugh, that's something else. You know what I'm saying? That's a science. You know what I mean? That's an art. So it's something that I admire and I admire comedians more than anything else for the way that they tell the truth about their craft and people in it.

Like when we had, I feel God, this was years back. we had Michelle Wolf on. And I forgot who the girl was that put out the comedy special that was kind of getting all this applause. Oh, this is so brave and this so this. Oh, no one liked her.

Yeah, yeah. Old girl from England or was that Australia? Yeah, I can't remember. I can't remember the comedian's name. But anyway, we asked Michelle Wolf, like, what do you think about it? She was like, yo, that shit sucks. It's unfunny.

Like, it was no political answer. It was just like, no. And so that's the thing for me with comedy. I more so learn from comedians and admire just the way that they're just unapologetic about what's funny and what's not. And I just kind of take from that, but actually being a comedian, like, nah, being the person on stage, doing it. Nah, writing it could be cool, but performing it is just not something I've never been interested in. I think we're talking about Hannah Gatsby. Hannah, that's exactly what, yep, that was her.

I had to type, unfunny. Oh, man. A funny comedian woman. Wow. That's a tough thing to file it. But no, but like you, I mean, I gave, when we taught me, this has been, God, like five years ago now. You know what I mean?

But no, I mean, it was, I was just giving you my opinion. But no, you were good. I mean, you have, like, the things you say, like, you really do command the crowd. Like, you have a big voice and, you know, people, you commanded their attention, you know what I'm saying? So, you know, I think you, if that's something you want to do, I really think you could do it.

Yeah. No. But you also, you also, I think the number one chip to doing comedy, and this is mostly just for also as a human being, we have to readjust our relationship to rejection. Because that's all it is. We're afraid of rejection, so that sort of stops us from really.

And, Maria, you know how we, I'm just saying, since we're going on the same day, we're not really good with that. You know what? I used to be, I don't know. I'm going through a Teflon period now where... I mean, yeah, because look at you now. Like, you're in a different part of your life. Yeah, I'm going to...

Yeah, go ahead. They don't change? No, it doesn't. Like, the more you kind of go and the more you... Just from my experience, I mean, but, like, the more you do and kind of, the more you kind of accomplish, you think, like, oh, you gain more confidence. But the more you go, like, your challenges change. So it's like, okay, I'm confident in doing this thing I was doing a year ago.

but now it's a year or two later I'm doing some whole other shit now that there's still a first so it's like every time you progress or you level up in your career you get to that point where it's like oh damn I'm having to learn some new shit I'm going to get that shit right the fucking out

and failure with direct day. Yeah it is well I mean you're always worried about can you hold up to the standard and you know I also all right so yesterday I think I told one of you maybe it was you that when you worry you're secretly praying

for what you're asking not to happen. Yeah, that's the shit you threw on me yesterday. I had to think about it all night. Yes, not as really. Worry is literally, oh, I hope I don't get attacked outside. You're praying to get attacked outside. It's like the, what's the scene in Inception, like, where homies, like, you know, if I tell you don't think about elephants,

what are you thinking about? Elevents, right? You know what I mean? And if you're thinking about elephants. Wait, me. Why are you going down the inception hole right now? Like, hmm. I don't know if I told the Donnie Hathaway story once,

but when his suicide happened in 79, my grandma was in front of me, and, you know, she's one of them firebrimstone, Southern Baptist Christian women. And so, you know, she sort of had a dismayed sort of, that's a sin against God. I was like, huh? You know, I was like eight years old.

Oh, because of. And she said, that's blasphemy. Like, only the Lord should take his children. in a way. And I was like, what's blasphemy? And he's like, this is the number one sitting against God. I said, so what happens? And that's when she told me the con, and she's always cooking food. He was Elman. So she was like, no, I was elman. I told me, what? What that's that? Full circle. Go on. So, you know, she turns like, she's already cooking. She's like, your soul burns and the fiery furnace when you commit a blasphemy against God. And I was like,

You know, I was trying to understand how Donnie Hathaway jumping out the window. What the fuck that got to do with me? Yeah. Right. And so she was doing this whole thing about blasphemy. And then she also told me that blasphemy. He was taking the Lord's name in vain. I was like, well, what's the Lord's name in vain?

She says, when you say the bad word, G.D. God. Right. And then in my head, that's all I heard. So I was, I swear to God, at least for two months, I had nightmares of crying. My mom waking me up. I'm going to hell because I can't stop thinking. And my head just hurt, God damn, God damn, God damn, God damn, God damn, God damn, God damn, God damn, God.

Nah, man. No, yeah, religion, yeah, it sucks. Yeah. It's not for children. Blanket. Yeah, it's not for, you know, we all had, I had them stories as well of just like going to, I remember I went to a, God, man, I was probably like 12, 13 years old. And like my church, they sent us on like this. It was like the youth retreat.

Yeah. The retreat. And so the hump and retreat. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So they sent us on this fucking youth retreat. Wait. What? Yes.

There are some things I don't know about. Church game says. And there's some things that I swear you really don't want to know about. No. That sounds illegal, whatever you do. It sounds wrong in 2023. I'm sorry. But no, I mean, we went to this thing.

We went to this, they sent us to this youth retreat and shit. And so the thing about it is like, I'm a music guy. So if you can get me with music, then you got me. And the thing was, it was, we were a black church, and they sent us to this big things, big Christian thing, and it was like mostly like white people. So the acts that they had, it was like D.C. talk. You saw D.C. talk in person?

I saw them in person, bro. You what was that a gospel? Like, they were like, they were like the gospel backstreet boys. Oh. They like a boy band. D.C. Talk from like 87 to like. See? 92.

If you were Christian and rap was banned in your household, right. You were allowed to listen to D.C. talk. Like Christian rappers. Yes. Yeah, which is like, and again, which again, like Christian rappers is automatic. That's like saying fat-free brownie. Like, you're taking out the whole fucking point of why I'm doing this. You know what I'm saying?

You know what I mean? So, yeah. So we saw it was DC Talk. I want to say the one that I did, I did like, your girl was there. Amy Grant. Hey, bitch. Baby baby. Yeah.

I think this was probably pre-Baby Baby Baby. She didn't do that jam. Oh, damn. She didn't in her holy, oh yeah, but she had her bag. Yeah, so she couldn't do Baby Baby, it was Jesus or whatever. Yeah, that's still in it. Same thing. Yeah.

Time out. Praise Lord. DC Talk just released that album. Of course they did. Last year. Hit it. 10 seconds. You can play more than 10 seconds.

Nah. No. I guess you put a little bit that they didn't think twice. Woo. No. That's not them? No. That's them.

That ain't that ain't at all. We had another dude, a Christian dude, he sounded just like Biggie. Remember him? It was like in the early eyes. My man. The Pentecostal Papa. Wait, what? No, I'm not making none of the shit up.

These are all real people. But anyway, we go to this fucking thing. It was like the preacher and they're preaching and they just, like you were saying, they just always talk about just fire and brimstone. You're going to go to hell and you're going to do this. And over years, you just look at it's like, yeah, it's all based in fear and control. It's like trying to scare you into being. who they want you to be in hope of this wonderful afterlife.

Pined the sky. It's just pying the sky. And it's like, but I got to live here now. And so I think I was maybe like 13, 14. And yeah, I was like, yo, fuck this. I ain't never going back. And I just told me, I was like, yeah, I ain't doing this shit in a while. This is fucking corny.

And the music is like white people here. Like, it's fucking trash. And I just never went back. Was there an MCJC? There was not an MCJC. There is. I don't know, there is an MC 900 foot Jesus. I don't know if he.

Wasn't that the truth is out of style? That sounds. Yeah, the truth is out of style. Can we talk about church games? I don't know about church games. What are you about? What was that? What was that?

That's not a church game. That's when, that's when like no one's looking. Oh. That's like hiding seat. Got it. Humping. Didn't know. Okay.

Hides. Seek with Humping. Hide and Haping. Hap and hide? There's a section on porn. There's a dry-humping for poor... We're learning so much about you, Lahi. I know.

That was... That was... That was revealing to say the least. Y'all don't know about this... Dry hump section on porn hub. I was... I know. I didn't know about the tell, please.

Enlightenus. It's a whole category. It's an art. I mean, where women post these videos... This is one chick. There's this black girl that I follow, and she got a roommate, and they always put up their videos.

And literally, she'll be in, like, her panties and her bra, and he'll be in, like, his sweatpants and his shirt, and she'll just be riding on him or... See, I like sauce. I don't. Is there anything?

Your electric booth? So, yeah, he'll, he's different positions. They do it in the kitchen. What did you say? What did you say? Electric. It don't even matter. It don't even matter.

Only he gets up. I get tired. Oh my God. He called me a psycho. Because I'm a psycho. So I get it. You're like, come on. Take one and record.

No, man. I'm just 52. That's it. That's all. I was just going, I might have revealed too much. But, yeah. Pumpin is safe. It's safe.

It's, it's safe. This is all of us, man. One of our people on this cute, she's an intimacy coordinator. So we're talking about that. Who's an intimate? Girl, shut up. I got so many questions. Can we talk about that?

Camera number five is an intimacy coordinator? Oh, my God, you've been in some crazy situations. You want to get a chair? I, where do you even start? What did you start as? Wait, didn't we once have six microphones? Yeah, come on. Yeah, come over here, do that with me.

Come on. Do wet. Do it. All right, for our audience, please give us your name. Hey, what's up? My name is Durenne. Hello, Durenne. How you doing?

Hello. How are you? I had to say yesterday, we were, if we can recall the conversation, we were playing, guess my age. Yes. So I naturally, I thought Doreen was like just out of high school, like maybe in a second year college. We all did. We all did.

I was like, I'm like, 21, 22. And she was like, no. Yeah. Should I say my? I'm 34. Girl, yeah. All that shit. That's with the good skin.

Shut off the water. Let's get into it. All right. So you got a part by Jesus as well. I really was. Okay. Wait, there's a long ass applause. Sorry.

Now it's Friday. I know. Who makes it applause for like 12 minutes? Wow. That's up right. That's the kind applause. So intimacy coach. How does one become an intimacy coach?

Intimacy coordinator. Sorry. Different. Yeah. Oh, are there, is it a coach and a coordinator? There are two different things. I know a thing. Okay.

Okay. Yeah, so I'm an intimacy coordinator for TV and film. What does that mean? It means that I choreograph. Yeah. Yeah, I make it safe. I know someone that wants your job. I got to talk to you because when they were presenting this to me like, I want to be an intimacy coordinator.

I was like, huh? Yeah. And I was like, is that a thing? I'm a new director, so I don't know these things. Yeah. This is a thing? It's a very big thing. It's recent.

You were telling me, it's recent, you know what I mean? last decade. Yeah, it's a new field. Kind of the Me Too moment is what brought it to America. But it was in the UK before that. So if you were on the set of eyes wide shut, how would you operate? A lot. Or is that advanced?

It's a little advanced. That's old. You know nine and a half weeks? I mean like barely. Right. Now you're 22? Now I'm 22. I'm sorry.

Because you name is it's 40 years old. Purple rain. I know she knows it Yeah, I'm a little bit more mild print So like I do remember And it's a little bit more mild than his white shirt So Can we like modern enough?

Oh sorry, okay Moderning that's a little bit Yeah I don't think they make slow jams anymore A love scene 50 shades of gray Thanks Bill I mean that would be a lot of choreography Right a lot of conversations Honestly I talk a lot about sex and relationships

And I talk a lot about character development and character motivation. So it's like, why are we touching this person? For what reason? Who's giving? Who's taking? Like, you know, who's receiving? Are you touching them the way that you want to touch them

or the way that they want to be touched? So do you talk to the screenwriter? You should all be asking these questions all the time. Those should be questions. Now, that's an intimacy coach. That's what an intimacy coach would do for you because they would do it on a one-on-one basis or like in a couple basis.

But as a coordinator, I'm doing that like for scenes. With actors. Yeah. I've had active friends. and people in the movie community actually complain about I have a friend who had often you run into a situation where

if one actor has a spouse that's really, really feels some sort of way about that thing and then that holds them back from the scene but the director wants to know, and there was never a person, right, there was never a person to, like, mitigate.

Honestly, it's a lot of like mitigating power dynamics. Because as a person who's an actor, you just want to do what the director tells you to do. You just want to make it good for them. Like, seriously. So you'll say you'll do anything. So I talk to them before I talk to the director. I break down the script. I talk to the director, what's your vision? I talk to the actors. What do you want to show? What do you

not want to show? Right. Because some of them have contractual things that they, like literally in their contract, they have body parts where they will not show. There's writer agreements. I only want my nipples shown for three seconds, not 10, you know. I'll do half a butt, not a full butt, you know. Like, those are very real things. I'll do butt cleave, but I don't want to do full rear, you know. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the fourth.

My next guest, you know from Step Brothers, Anchorman, Saturday Night Live and the Big Money Players Network, it's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like,

and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come, look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved.

and he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that.

There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I believe someone was interviewed about the, what's the name of the weekend? Oh, yeah. The idol, yeah. So, have you watched that series? I refused.

Yeah. I'm with that. Yeah, I refuse. I'm with that. Really? That was the reason for, I mean, I didn't watch it either, but I've heard things. I mean, it's in the icy circles, the intimacy coordinator circles. You know, like we've talked about it.

Is it group chat? Yeah, it's in the group chat. So the thing was, I've missed, I guess the first shot was, I guess the first shot It was fired by the Rolling Stone article that sort of spread, like, talked about trouble on the set, and then it just snowballed on. So I kind of missed all that part. So what I wound up with was everyone was talking about it, and each week it would trend and people would be making fun of it.

Yeah. So it almost has a showgirl's effect on me because it was so trashed. I watched it, and then I was like, oh, okay, it's campy. That's showgirls, good intimacy. I mean, they did a lot of, like, what, making fun of intimacy coordinator roles in that particular. Yeah, they like, I don't know. Sometimes people want to make you be the, like, the consent police, you know? Like, I'm here to make sure you don't say the wrong things, like the PC police.

I'm the most inappropriate on set. I just enjoy rules. Like, so I'm just going to make sure that we're safe. Yeah. Whatever it is at y'all is. But I'm like, you know, I'm not trying to be a hall monitor. I'm an artist. No, I mean, people put me home.

Oh, mine have been probably saying that. I get it. When they're actually in the bed, do you actually have to also be there to go, all right, so I need you to move a little? I love that you were talking about humping because that's, yeah. I mean, like, for sets, yeah, it's like a real thing. We put barriers between them or, like, silicone barriers. I was about to say, how do you stop arousal? How did you know, I heard the word?

Dulling sensation? To keep him from getting erector. To keep both of them from feeling their genitalia. What is Dulling? Like, literally, like, making it more. more dull. Like this is like not dull. Ah, so putting like a real cover, a cup. Yeah, almost like an athletic cup.

Yeah. But it's much softer, made of like medical grade silicone. Okay. I'll take one in every color. Come on. I got to. But it holds you down though, Steve. It'll hold you on place here.

That's what Steve needs. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I'm so glad they have. I always wonder what do you do when he gets aroused. Okay. I mean, you wouldn't feel it. Right. You know, if I've taped it down proper ways.

I've always wondered that. Yeah. Now, can I ask? because of the brown bunny situation. Are you familiar with this? I am familiar with it. Please tell me. This is Chloe Stedney and so,

so, Vincent. No, yes. Vincent. Well done. You are. You are a guy who remembers things. She decided to go full throttle with it

and perform fallacious on Vincent Gallo. That's illegal. And it kind of, that's illegal. That's illegal. Oh, it happened. What do you mean is illegal? You're not supposed to give your co-partner head on set.

Like, did this happen? Like, you're not a thing. This is not a thing. Like union rules you're talking about. Because when you say illegal. I don't know if they showed it or not, but she just did it for real. No, they showed. I mean, like, illegal as in it really could be a harassment suit and not just between you

and the person you did it with, but it like everyone else. Am I Hannibal Burris? Everybody else is around. Am I about the... It's an interesting thing to bring back up. It was the 90s. This is a very controversial. It was a very different time.

And she kind of got like... I'm not saying she got blackballed, but... You know, they kind of... Scarlett lettered her. He didn't. Well, I mean, but he's not acting anyway. He directed and he acted in that movie, right? Oh, and she gave him head, like, in the...

That's a lot. I wonder if she felt like she had to. Like if someone like me was there, like, because sometimes it's like I can get ahead, literally. On Google says, why was the brown bunny so controversial? Sex scene. The film's infamous sex scene, which, excuse me, performs unsimilarated oral sex upon Gallo

received an overwhelmingly negative. Unstimulated. Unsimulated. Not unstimulated. Unsimulated me. Yeah, it's supposed to be simulated sex. Not the Nile Poor. Received an overwhelmingly negative critical response at its con premiere.

And it became a media scandal with many critics speculating whether or not she had been pressured into performing a sex act with Gala. That was, yeah. The last thing he directed was... Right, well, where's he? Yo, quick question. So that means, like, have you ever seen the movie kids? Yes, that's what I was going to go out of that year. Not too, fool, I know you all that had.

But have you seen the movie kids? No. The first Rosario Dawson, okay, so I'm just wondering if a movie like that commended. be made in 2023. I don't think so. I don't think. A lot of stuff like Harmony Corn, Larry Clark, like I don't think. He's a children, teenagers having sex.

Like, Cren, oh God, not Harmonicler. What's the movie? No, what I have. I think of scars. Chloe was in kids. Chloe was in kids. She was. Yeah, she was in kids.

Yeah, Chloe was in kids. There are a lot of rules around children now, now. Most like intimacy coordinate. Yeah, this was, yeah, this is over 30 years ago. Oh, one more question. Do men do this job? Yes, my mentor is a man. Straight ones?

Yes, well, I mean, straight is a spectrum. Okay, you're right. You know, we're a little more fluid these days. But my mentor, Yehuda Dwenius, is an amazing intimacy coordinator. Shout out. How do these skill sets or do these new skill sets and conversations that you have to have, how do they show up in your personal life in terms of enforcing boundaries? or how do they inform you in that way?

I'm having less sex. Really? Yeah, I am having less sex. More people want to fuck me, but I'm having less sex. Feels clinical or something? No, I think, like, the intrigue is there. Like, everyone is intrigued. It sounds really sexy.

But I don't know. My communication game is really high. If yours is not there, I don't, I'm not into it. You have a high standard now. I think, yeah, I have a much higher standard of, like, how we start and finish this. And I can be a lot. lot more impartial than other people can.

And not everybody wants impartial. Well, you got to put it out there that you find people on your wavelength. I don't even know what that means with sex. I'm impartial with sex. Well, it's like, you know, situationships and things. Got you. I can come and go. Got you.

Ooh. I can take it or leave it? I can take it or leave it. And you're saying that the other side of my brain. I can go. I get on. I can see it. All right.

I really hope when y'all edit this, you'll catch that far. That was hilarious Man, surprise education So wait, can you I have two friends that are really interested in this I'm really

In my head I was slightly dismissive Because I was like, wait a minute I'm just doing documentaries I'm not doing real movies yet Yeah And but they were like I wouldn't be the intimacy coordinator Yeah

And I was just like How was that? And in my head I kind of dismissed it But this is real a shit Yeah And people are actively looking for? Yes, yeah.

He can be legitimately certified. You can take coursework. One of them is taking their sex certificate. Thingam Bajigga. Wait a minute. Sounds very official. Sex certificate, thingabajger. That's what I had.

I didn't know these things existed. Yo, you looking for voices on a new movie? We just got off strike yesterday. We just put in my bed and if people is telling you they want a job on movies and stuff. I'm saying that I do voice work. That's my job. I don't know if you know that. Your voice work is amazing, Laet.

I was recently highlighted. I know. I hired a lot of. Yes. I've heard your voice before. I've got a book of knowledge. That's why you hear because you give good voice. Nope. Oh, wait.

I didn't realize what I said. You get good voice. Boy, I want to get myself props. Damn. I'm good. But not like, you know, for real, your voice on work is really, really dope. I'm working on it every day. Thank you, brother.

It's a big compliment coming from. It's worked out. Nah, you're not working on it. I am. Okay. And I will be featured in the new aristocrats movie, yes. I'll put you in the aristocrats. Yeah, because that's...

Oh, I never say it right. You did not. Shut up! You're trying to play me! That's not funny! Is that live action or is it animated? First thing I got to tell people, it's not cats. It's not...

It's not going to be... That's a good thing. Oh, cats. Okay. Right. However, right. right now I'm trying to figure out the degree for

how real the cats are so here's the deal I don't have emotional connection to well I don't have emotional connection to the original Lion King so thus people sort of

had guns and knives out for all these new animatronic right because they're mostly attached to what they grew up with and so So, you know, when I saw the Lion King, I was like, oh, okay, no problem. And this is the new one. The new one.

Right, right, right. So I'm probably the only human being whose first experience with the Lion King was the Beyonce joint. And when everyone started like, hey, I was like, huh? I was like, all right, let me watch this join. And I watched it. And I was like, oh, okay, I get it. It would be like me seeing a new soul train being like, yo, dog, this is nothing like what I grew up with. You can't compete with people's mistakes.

nostalgia. Like, it doesn't... Right. Especially Disney nostalgia. You don't fuck with Disney. Now, it's not like, you know, Aristocats was the last movie of the Disney canon of that era. You know, from 30s till, like, Aristotacats came on like

1969, 70. And after that, then they just went through this like Herbie and the, like, the lodge ones. And then back in the 90s, they brought you know, little her made. And they was probably Aladdin and all that. Right. It was the 90s version. Yeah. So, I'm, um, trying to figure out the level of reality to fantasy.

And the thing is with technology now, like in seconds, in five minutes, they can be like, do you want them to look like this? I'm like, oh, it's too real. You wanted to look like this? Ah, it's two cartoonists. Do you want to look like, so? And there's a teenage meeting turtles. That shit totally changed.

Like, the animation and that was kind of like... How do you say they were cursing? No, it just looked a little crazy. It creeped me out. Yeah, it crem me out just a little bit. Yeah. now what I have to figure out is am I going for and you can weigh in on this do you go for the new audience or do you go with the Disney cult because I now find out that Disney people are

mostly kids that refuse to grow up so I got a bunch of 30 and 40 and 50 year old people your age that like want to put their kids onto it but they're why well I mean you know I'm joking I think your job is to figure out how to make both of those things work that's a the job. The job is not to appeal to either or is to both. That's always been the job. That's always should be your job. You can't like just make a movie for these people. Because there's 10 of us in here. Okay. Well, you looked at me. So I just started to go. Well, because you work on a kid's show. I do. And we try to

appeal to everybody. Okay. So what was everyone's relationship to the original Lion King? You want to go first? You do the... Okay. Are we talking? For those that love the original Lion King, raise your hand. Yeah, I did. I did. I did. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Did you not love the original Lion King? See, the thing was, I was 21 when the Lion King came out,

so it wasn't like, you all got to see this shit. Damn, it was that long ago? But the thing is, then I moved to Europe. Everything you see. I feel like any adult that saw the Lion King at least had to have a child in the house that always watched it. You know, like those videotapes and DVDs were like babysitters or whatever. No, facts.

But unlike Pixar, which I'll be like, yeah, I want to watch Toy Story. Like, I was a board for that. But, like, I missed Aladdin. I missed Lion King and I missed Beauty and the Beast. Like, Mulan. That's my age group's, like, hot zone. Like, the Aladdin. Like, I watched Aladdin a thousand times.

Right, because you were like, what, 11, 12? In what year? 92? 91. Yeah, I was exactly. Right. I was 21, so it wasn't, like, I would have rather going to see boys in the hood. 94.

94. Right. Lincoln was 94. I was 15. I remember seeing that. I can't remember if I took, like, my brothers to see it or like. Yeah, there's someone young that you take. Yeah, I wasn't like, hey, ma, I needed to crank that Lion King.

Like, look, I wasn't. Which is, when you look at the cast, right, it kind of is, you're right, because it's like, look, it's Jeremy Irons, James Earl Jones, you know, like, Madge Sinclair. It was Robert Gillione. Yeah, he's like, yeah. You mean really. I had an awareness of it. I knew, like, oh, they're letting Elton John do the score of this thing.

Oh, he's going to win that. And he snapped on that too. Right. So I knew that, but I really, it wasn't until people started making, you never saw the Lion King ever? Who snapped? Who snapped harder? Elton John on Lion King or Phil Collins on Tarzan?

Or like Alan Mencken on the Little Mermaid. I mean. I'm with Phil. I mean, it's. Really? I'm always with Phil. And I love Lion King more than Tarzan from Phil Collins. Phil Collins is just.

What was the joint on Tarzan, the one? Was it? No, it wasn't King You Feel of Love Night. That was Elton John. What was Fields joint on the Tarzan sound? It was a good song. It was a jam. I did like the Lion King.

I didn't see the new one. I haven't seen the new. I saw a Little Mermaid, like my cousins. I like the old one. Haven't seen the new one. Me neither. Yeah, it's just, I was more, I really, I was more of a Pixar guy more so than Disney.

Like, a lot of the, after the 90s, like, after like that run of like Little Mae Mae, Moulon, Aladdin. Aladdin was a jam. I did. I did fuck with Aladdin. Aladdin was my dude. But like, did you like the Aladdin remake? They remade the Latin?

With Will? Will Smith. Yeah, Will Smith. He was a genie. Did I see that one? It was not the best thing ever made. I don't think I saw. My genie's name, out your mouth.

From downtown. Listen. Steve, you just wanted to. That was amazing. Amazing. Nah, but I was more of a pig, so I got like, tour story. They had a run.

Like, they was on it. And then I think I fell off. Like, I don't think anyone has cracked the code. on a live remake for kids I mean that at least I don't know what you would consider babe but

that was one about the pig yeah but that's the game the game is to try to figure out how to make the perfect like the live because people have tried to do it and no one's really nailed it

rule number one is you should never look at the comments but first thing I did was I looked at all the Tom and Jerry comments I looked at all the anyone that's done a live animation I just went down there whole, like, all the YouTube trailer, first look things to see. Like, okay, the fish from Little Mermaid, the yellow one, like, no one liked.

I mean, that alone probably ruined half the momentum of what the Little Mermaid should have done. They just nailed it on Flounder. But then again, it's also like, but you're 34 years old. Like, are you my audience or is your kids my audience? audience. What I think the idea is that you want to make something or they want you to make something that will speak equally to both. That's what they, you know what I mean?

That's what they want. Because I mean, and for me, again, that was kind of the Pixar thing in that on its face, yes, there are movies for kids. But Toy Story 3, hey, bro, I shed thug tears on that shit. Yo, but I was going to say, how did your kids, how did your kids, how did the toys was in the motherfucker, incinerate, they were about to go. Oh, bad. That's right.

That's right. That's right. Only time I've ever seen Richard Jeremy Nichols shed a tear. Toy Story 3. Was Toy Story 3? Listen, bro. Hey, bro, lots of hugging bear. That's scared.

He was a fuck boy. You, don't. Like, where he had them kids, he had them toys up in the goddamn, the nursery home. Motherfucker. Yeah, locking him up and shit, man, because he wanted to be the man. When he came out of the dump truck, like he owned the joy. Yeah, like he owned the shit, man, running that shit like he was all. I cannot.

Rich allowed himself 90 seconds of, no, it's, it's, I want to know, but I want to know how traumatized kids were at watching Toy Story Story 3. How about we're still talking about it? They loved it. Like, they, I mean, I granted they are from my kids. Right. But, no, I mean, they loved it.

You know what I mean? We had a great time. We still watch it. Hell yeah, that's the one, man. Toy Story Story 3, like the first 10 minutes of 17 seconds. The first 17 seconds of my face all that. And I don't have emotions. You almost don't have to watch the rest of the movie.

No. Nah, that joins hard. Just watch the first 17 minutes. That's it. But no, that's, I mean, for me, that was kind of the formative. Like, all right, we're going to have this animation that's for children. But the themes are really, you know, kind of grown up. Or animation helps the medicine go down.

Facts. Which is why a family guy can get away with what it gets to. Or South Park. South Park, too, yeah. Can get away with, you know, everything. Wow, so, okay, so we got to connect later because I literally didn't know that there was, is there an agency

or you just run an independent? Yeah. It's called Backpage. What do you know about that? I've heard, you know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They're just out there in the ether. You know what I'm just collect.

Now there's just a Facebook group. And is this a Facebook group? No, no. Well, thank you for sure you was the, Thank you so much for having me. Thank you for your interpretation. Where I get that from? Long clap.

Give it a long clap. Okay. I have no choice. Just like the price is right. When that person's running from the back of the price is right? Right. Oh, fuck. Exactly.

A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clever Taylor the fourth. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth.

You doctored this particular test twice in so much, correct? I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Gregalespian and Michael Marantini.

We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. And in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man.

A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target.

Woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day. And I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you. which is really sweet.

He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that.

There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Yeah, we need Wayne Brady. I'm sorry. I love Wayne Brady. Why do we need Wayne? No, Wayne's my boy, boy. No, he was just on my wish.

As you said, Price is right, my mind just went to show. Wayne and I was an awesome guess. Wayne and I'm playing a group together. I love Wayne. Y'all did? Yeah, he's in freestyle. The other love Supreme thing I do. What?

Wait, Wayne Brady was once, is that why he was so good at who's my line? Well, no. His line is anyway before that. But he's been in freestyle Love Supreme forever for years. Is that still one probably? No. Okay. No more?

I mean, it's usually like during Christmas time, but I don't think we're doing it this year. Have you guys had a bad night where words just don't rhyme? Many, yeah. Really? I think the most famous one is we played the Melbourne Comedy Festival in Australia. Oh, no. And it was like in the Royal Albert Hall, wherever their version of that is. And it was filmed for whatever.

And everybody in the group bombed. Like everybody, and you can see it. It's on YouTube. No, it was not funny. And the best part is, is they made like a DVD when we made DVDs years later. And it says like, this famous person, this famous person, and then says,

and shit loads more. And there's a picture of us. And we're just like, and we were terrible. And it was, and that happens. And then like, you know, like, I'm sure like the roots, when people started throwing shit because we weren't funny and like, you know,

throwing shit at us. Oh wait, it was that sort of bad? That was a different gig. It was a late night gig. And they, They just started throwing ping pong balls at us. Where? In, I think it was Edinburgh.

Wow. Yeah. You talk about it. I mean, I love a good failure story. I mean, when you're an improvised group, a teachable story. There are days where it doesn't go well. So there are days where it goes great. There are days where it's just like, you know, in the same way people pay money, like stand-up,

like this is us, but like we're literally making up everything, which people to this day also still, like, don't believe. They don't get, yeah. But so there are days where it's just not funny. And we're trying. And it's just not happening. You know what? I respect a bad show. I don't like a mediocre show.

I don't like when people filling it in, but I don't know if it's just me. When someone does something bad, I actually respect. I kind of like that more. Be wrong, strong. Yeah. Like, commit to it.

Also, we were doing like 30 shows and 30 days. And so it was like, by the 25th day, I don't know what the fuck to do anymore. You know, and so there's no go-to formula. I mean, we play this. So we usually play the same seven games, right? So it's like this thing, the structure, like you were saying about comedy, the structure is always the same. But it's like the words that we're getting from places are completely made up.

So it's... So is it crazy that I have like a hit and dream that one day will like play, we'll have some kind of improv activity between like all of us. I think we would just really have fun. Like I love improv activity. Isn't this is it? Yeah. I'm like, yeah, this is it. Dude, we went from talking about...

Smash cut to intimacy coordination. Yeah. And back again. Here we are. It's more. There's more. No, ain't. No butts.

No, like, you know what I'm saying? We'll do this at next. game night. I was like, you better just bring them cars next game night. Let's talk about

our let me tell you about like, listen look, look, here's the deal. Oh God. What are we talking about?

Here's a deal. The deal is that I've been, I've been doing game nights for at least five years. Mostly it's Uno night,

right? Or celebrity when you used to do that too. Well, I mean, when I come down to West Coast Dawn or Tina like they want celebrity. Yeah.

Right. So, but the thing is, is that At least for the last 10 joins I've done, our sponsor was Mattel in terms of, like, providing us with all the games. We just show up and all the joins are there. I forgot that we wanted to also play other games. Well, the thing was, it's like, are we going to be a product of Mattel?

Right. Or is this just going to be. Yeah. Right. And that's the thing. Like, I don't, what will ruin game night is when it becomes a thing. So I'm trying to, now, yes, you guys, you guys. came to a really swanky atmosphere.

It's nothing like that. We had to rent out a spot. Yeah. You know, it still looked nice. Other other game nights might look like this room. That's how I didn't. That's what I'm looking. That's what I'm used to.

Right. So the thing was in getting all those games, it's like someone forgot to bring, you know when someone forgets to bring ice to. But you said, but you bought all the other shit, but you forgot the basics. Yeah, we forgot ice or bread.

But they got to make regular cards. Mattel makes regular cards. See, this, they, they really don't. No. No, they make couto. Dude, I forgot to bring the ice. Like, what she's referring to. What she's referring to was her, you and...

First of all, let's tell the story correctly. Yvonne. Excuse me, Mr. Love. Just for the record, the story goes, Yvonne Orgy said to me, she walked up to me, you there. I was right X-Dexed. And she said, that's your friend with a spades car is that. You better tell your friend to get some...

I thought, what's up with that? Like, she put the pressure on me. And I was like, I said to her, you're talking to the wrong one because he already thinks I'm like the hella black one and he's just not, but she kept putting the battery in my past. There's like, there's the white guy. And I was like, I don't know what's going on. No.

Then you would have had spades cards. First of all, I don't organize my own shit. You know what I'm saying? Yes, and that's what I'm saying. When we're not in the room, things go missing. That is the lesson in that. I just forgot the ice. I forgot to bring bread over.

Yes, yes, yes. I made you a hell of turkey Thanksgiving. It was a really fun time. Yeah. Like a lot. The cards were there. We found them. Well, no, they were there.

There was five cars there. We just didn't look hard enough. Okay. All right. So the cards were there. We got to live and learn. But I hope you have fun despite the fact that we didn't play space. I fucking have a good time.

No, no, no, we had a good time. I did not think I would like Cheetos on top of my macaroni and cheese. But you know what? I think it's safe to say that I'll be talking about game night for quite some time. It was a ball. You know, from one to five, I give it a solid three and a half. It was fun. So three and a half for everybody else, it was a ten.

for William Sherman. I had a great night. How great was your night? On a scale of one to five, it was a 58. It was just, it was just. It was nice social atmosphere. Yes, all of my comedy was kidding. It was really, no, it was wild.

It was really fun. I'll say that Robin Fidi sort of got a kick out of Megan making weird owl cry, which, whoa. There you go. You was scared to say her name. She was scared to say her name. So I didn't say. actions, you can say a name.

Made him cry about, how to... No, I don't know. Maybe he had to draw 16. Oh, this is during the game. Each table... Not like in talking to them. That was me. Oh, no, each table has various house rules.

At my table, I play staxies. Oh, you do the whole thing. Did y'all allow staxies? Man, first of all, you gave us Uno flex cards. Okay? It was... Hold on. You didn't give nothing.

To have a regular Uno? We didn't have the rest. Can I just... Hold on. The first game went like this. The first game went, you go, you go, you go, Fonte goes, I'm out. And we were like, what? He's like, well, this goes to this, this.

We were like, what the fuck is happening? It was so funny. It was the first deal. He was like, bam, done. This is what it was. He reneged in Uno. He was like, what just happened? Listen, man.

First off, I never want to play Uno again with that many people. It was a lot of people. It was a lot of people. Yeah, 10. I got a little down to six. I want six people table. Yeah. Yeah. It's too many. So anyway, so we're sitting there.

It was all of us. Brittany. Shout out to Weezy, my girl Weezy from whoever Decisions Podcast. She was there. Her home girl that was next to her, her PR, I cannot remember her name. She was cool as shit. Jersey, too. Yeah.

Jersey red. That's what I call it. She was from Jersey. I was like a card shark. Like, she was serious by that shit. So shout to them, man. We had an amazing time. But anyway, so like you said, everybody got different rules.

Say the G's too, because Sean G. He's going to feel something. Oh, yeah. Mr. G. That was the shocker. That was Sean G game. No, Mr.

Sean knows what a game is. Sean said he got invited because he don't never get invited. He monitored me the whole night. I felt like he was always up the president. Anything I was doing, fucking Sean G was right next to him.

He's on a proving look or his... No, well, I was speaking of him. Laugh. That ain't how the night ends it, but we're going to let Fontaine. Go ahead. So, go ahead. So he comes, so it's the Mr.

Mrs. G and like, we're all there. Great time. So anyway, we're trying to find Uno cars. And we're like, all right, where's the Uno? We owe. So we're like, all right, we're the old school, Uno.

They had every, Unno. It's all right colors? It was Uno Barby. So finally we'd settle on Barbie Uno, which was also, because again, we old, niggas, we had to realize that the colors were different because it was Barbie Uno. So we like, what the fuck is this pink blue and like yellow, but the wild cars are still black? Right. All right, cool.

So Jake, cousin Jake, I dealer, I fateful dealer. He deals the cards. You know what I'm saying? So then people start talking house rules. And like, we see, Jersey, everybody. All right, this is we going to stack? You can put down different numbers. Because there's too many of us.

We got to be able to stack. Right. And I was like, okay, cool. Let me understand the rules of the stacking because for me, when I play Uno, you never stacked? We just put down one fucking card and keep it moving. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Oh, you are old school. Yeah, listen. My kids taught me about stacking. So I'm like, okay, so we stack. Okay, cool. Let me make sure I understand this. Now, the whole. part of this is like, listen, I'm listening

to y'all rules. I get my cards and I'm looking at this shit and I'm like, bruh. All of my cars were pink. All of my cars were the same colors. All of my cars were the same colors. So I'm looking at it. I'm like, based on y'all rules, I'm not to run the table. I'm about, what are you? But they went around one time.

And I was like, okay, am I doing this right? Best in your rules? Boom. Be like, everybody. It's a pink two, three, four, five. I got a pink everything. Everybody gets something. At that note, the Jews got to flip the table and the stormed out. He was amazing.

Shout to Dawn. Shout to Dawn. She was there with it. She was like, oh, Fonte, you're fucking crazy. I'm like, listen, I'm going by y'all rules. So, long story short, we play the game. And it comes back to me. We go around and come back to me.

And I'm like, okay, am I doing this right? It makes sure. Uno out. And I fucking won. And so then at the end, you know, they was trying to talk. Oh, you, y'all, you tried to cheat. I said, no, no, no. I didn't cheat.

I was trying to say you niggas. time. Because I told you motherfuckers who was going to win when I stepped in this motherfucker. This is all true. Quit fucking playing with me. You know what I mean? Like it was, I got five pink cards, nigga, it's over. Okay. So I won my and then we played

Cards Against Humanity. Shout my man Andre Andre Powell of Selection. Yes. He won that one. He won that. He was great. You know what I mean. And JJ Abrams read all the card. That was another funny thing too. Him and Bill had this whole bit. That shit was great. It was great. But then the story of the night that you all are waiting for

is the story of William Sherman and a certain young lady who had no awareness. We are not going to say the name, but we are going to talk about William Sherman I didn't even know who this person was. Going back and forth with a certain beautiful young lady. That's why it works.

That's the best part of the story. Y'all didn't tell him. No, no, no, hold on. So we had a whole, I had a whole bit with this person. I didn't know who this person was. She walks away. I said to Brittany, who is that? And she goes, you're kidding.

And I go, no. And then she told me who it was, and then I fell over on the floor. And then, and then, and then I, and then this person went over here to another table and told me that I had to go with her. And then it was her, me, and baby face. Which is like the perfect trio,

the three musketeers. And I just didn't know what to do, so I went, which is what I do when I panic. I went, I'm the music director of Sesame Street. Like literally, I yelled into Babyface's face. I'm the music right. And he goes, no way. like super calm.

And I go, yeah. And then I was talking to Bayface on Cemetery while this other person was yelling at me for doing whatever the fuck. Why do we keep saying this? We can't say! Oh, okay. So anyway, it was a hell of a night.

Yeah. Did you get the number? No, but I dropped into the DMs just to see if I could score. Didn't happen. I'm real sad about it. That was a one night only invitation booth. It wasn't even an invitation full stop,

but it was fucking hilarious. Because if you're going into, and we just talking on the car right back, going into the DM. of somebody of that caliber. Like, yeah, again, that's a penny down the waterfall, dog. You're just, yeah, it's crazy. You're stepping into the abyss.

There's nothing like trying to tell a PG version of that story to my kids, which is what I did. Because you're so proud, too. I was. I was like, you got a prince. And they were like, what did you say to this person? And I said, nothing, don't worry about it. Moving on.

All I'm going to say is she looked good. She did. But no, it was cool. You missed it, Steve. You should have came. Yeah. Sorry, me miss. I didn't have a plus one.

I mean, none of us did. I mean, I did have a plus one. I was a flower plus one. Apparently, Steve only rolls with a plus one. No, well, his niece was in town. I get it. You can't leave your niece. I've only known you for 30 years.

I don't get a plus one. Dog. Try 40 and you still don't. It's fine. It's good. So besides game night and interviewing a bunch of people. Yeah. Have we done anything else interesting in Los Angeles?

I've had no time. No, we've been chilling. Yeah. Oh, okay. I mean Laid last night. So give you tips, you know what I'm saying, food tips. And these are tips that I've learned over my 44 years of being a man of husk. So we was at the joint, and we was at the bar at our hotel last night.

And we got some, we got like a salad. The hotel we were at, they make like this artisan salad with like this vinaigrette is great. And the way they played it is like, it's really dope. But anyway, so we was going to get some wings. And he was like, all right, which ones we going to get? which ones we're gonna get? You know what I think the lemon pepper might be good. And I was like, I don't trust lemon pepper in Los Angeles.

I said, what I trust is the Louisiana dry rub because a whole lot of niggas from Louisiana migrated to California. So I trust that. You know what I mean? This feels like very good reasoning. Actually, it's very genius in the way. We're going to be disappointed when the story ends. No.

And man brought out the lemon pepas, man. Them holes was five. Not the lemon peppers. I don't know. That was a little bit of the drug. And the Louisiana dry rub, they were amazing. They smoked it. And so what the tip of what I always kind of use when I go to places, I eat kind of what,

whatever the black people cook in there was native. That's what I leaned toward. So like we went to San Diego. Like we went to, we did our LB running in San Diego. It's like in March. And like we went to this restaurant and I'm like, all right, I'm going to order a bunch of seafood. Everybody else in the crew, they was ordering shit like shrimp and grits and that state. and all this.

And so they got their plates and it was just all sour face and shit. Meanwhile, you know what I'm saying? My fish, man, that shit was hitting. Because the ocean right there, dumb. Yeah, you live by the water. I trust you to cook shit that come out the water. Stay the fuck away from shrimp and grits.

You're in fucking San Diego. Like, I'm a country from Robinson County. Y'all don't do shrimp and grits. What the fuck we do? Leave that shit alone. It got meat in it, Bill. So, you know, so you kind of learn. So that's the tip, you know what I mean?

Same thing with them. Don't eat crap. I found a whole-in-a-wall, Korean barbecue spot. Ooh. That stays open until 5 a. Here?

Yeah. This would be the right place to be for Korean food. This is what I'm saying. Exactly. This is good. Ethiopian food. You go to a little Ethiopia.

We got places. But yeah. Don't try to order nothing with crab in California. You look crazy. It's going to start with a K. Yeah. Louisiana driver was hard, though.

And then we had like, it was like an Amaretto home eat. Oh, you had your classic Amir Amarretto sour. That's your drink? Yeah, it was. I've had it in a second.

That was Amir's first drink when he first started drinking alcohol. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good onboard at 32 years old. Yeah. And I got my license at 34. I wasn't going to tell all your business.

It's just half your business. Yeah, Dan Sung, Dan Sung, Sa. And, yeah, it looks like the men's bathroom and every... Come on around. It looks like... This is the CB... Yeah, like... We're shining.

It is spicy in here. The interior feels like CBGB's bathroom. Like, it's... Well, without the smell. It's like... graffiti everywhere. It's very hole in the wallish. But the food,

they're Korean fried chicken wings. Of course. Which, and I got to say, man, like in the war of, all right, Fonte already. No,

please. Do you remember the first show? You got to say something about fried chicken. Yeah, I got to say, like, Oh, no, the Korean fried chicken. Korean fried chicken is a...

But we all have learned now that black people have taught them about the fried chicken and that's what. Okay, I just want to make sure. I'm just saying, like, look, y'all doing that. It's official.

They are doing really. They're good. They remixed that nice. Right. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, but that's going to be my new L.A. Spock. In Korea Town. In Korea, town.

Yeah, stays open until four or five more. Yeah, my theory is, again, it holds up again. Like, so, yeah. Yes. All right, so if we covered everything, kids? I feel good. Yeah. We covered intimacy and Muppets.

I mean, fuck. Yeah. And what are they? What's your porn herbs? And aristocrats. And should I go in DMs or not? And Humpy McGee over here. We're ready to go.

All are y'all going to be dry hopping in the night. The first thing I do when I get home is to put dry hump into the porn hub Just to see what happens Wait, then we once she heard Yeah, we did I think on a Zoom What happened?

Then we once see her search When we was on, like it was We talked about this up night What? When you sent, you sent something Yes You sent us a screenshot Yes!

And I can't remember what it was And we saw your search And we saw your porn hub search Oh! And it was just like That's like some Kanye shit on the phone With the thing You remember it.

But it was something, I'm a B person, so I'm not, I'm not, I'm not embarrassed. I'm a very, you should not be embarrassed. You should not be embarrassed. We want to say that once, like in the early days of Instagram, whatever, I was just screen shot and someone. I think it was Sean, uh, Sean, uh, uh, gang question Sean. Yes, I forget what his post name was back. Oh, oh, damn it.

Sean Dammit. Right. He wants like, hey, uh, in case, you might want to redo that photo again because we can see your, uh, your windows. Like, you know, when you leave, no close windows, I was like, oh, shit. I know y'all should be crazy. I should be. I know it's how I'm the only one to put my searching out there.

You know what I'm saying? The rest of the, ain't nobody say nothing. You put it out, but you did it like accidentally when you sent us the screenshot. It was like. No, I just mean the conversation today. Like I said it again and nobody is saying none of y'all. No, I'm going to tell you something, you know. Really, Steve?

No, no, no, no, I'm going to tell you. I don't want to know what Steve's searching. It's almost like my relationship. I don't want to go there. No, no, my, my. It's almost like the rap game. Like, I have hip hop that I gravitate towards it. That was in the late 80s and early 90s.

Now sort of like hip-hop. It's sort of like, all right, there's an occasional Drake song I like. Kendrick's eye. It's just now. I can't see through these metaphor. What? No, I'm just saying, like, I think born today is, is, I think you get over. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, I'm not. It's old. It's not a thing anymore. I mean, because it's everywhere. Like, it's, you know, between the only fans. I'm just like...

I literally just want to know what y'all put in the search box. Y'all are just... I don't. It's over. Okay. Fucking. That don't work on point.

And apostrophe. Or you just say to what you know. Vanessa Del Rio. Like, you like, return to the classics. Okay. Okay. It's like Turner movie. Okay.

Yeah. Yeah, but the new shit is like trap music to me. And that, look, and the thing is, I don't have anything against that. Because as a businessman, as a picnic guy as a DJ as a tonight show person
