Conan O'Brien Radio! Conan O'Brien Radio! What's that? Yeah, go ahead and say it. What, what, what? I'm saying why did they take the label off my water bottle? It's very suspicious. I don't know.

I think it's like, um, it's a sponsorship thing or something. You don't want me to know what brand of water I'm drinking? I know because we're on video technically but... Oh okay. It's like I don't know I've never seen video of this show. Well it's obviously Crystal Geyser. Yes, he's an expert on generic water bottles. Yeah, these bottles crinkle in a different way from water bottles. These bottles crinkle in a different way from other bottles. Go ahead. What are you, is it time to tell people what they're listening to?

Yeah, yeah. It's Andy Richter Collins show. And Andy Daly's here. Hi. He's very unnerved by his label-less water. Deeply so. And I'm getting one too, cause I left, I have one of those big stupid girl cups,

you know, those sippy cups that the ladies have that they accessorize with jewelry and things. Oh, yeah? And I left it in the car. Have you bejeweled yours at all? I have not. No. No, I've just beboogered it.

What? No, I just, I don't wash it enough so it gets kind of gross at times. Like, it gets coffee splashed on it or like in the lid it looks like it's been out in the yard for a while or something. Yeah, it's gross. Yeah, disgusting.

But it's all part of nature, which is a segue into what our topic is. Oh, I don't even know what our topic is. I agreed to do this without knowing the topic. That's because that's the power of my personality. Yes, it is. And my charisma. Oh my goodness. And also the power of my personality. Yes, it is. And my charisma. Oh my goodness.

And also the openness of your schedule. Yeah. Sadly. Yes, me too. That's true. I do, I've done podcasts for other people where I'm like, why am I doing this? And it's like, oh, because it's something.

Because it was either this or another nap. Yeah, yeah. Right, exactly. Yeah, the naps. Have you ever gotten to the point where your nap is then interfering with your nighttime sleep because you've slept too much during the day? Absolutely, all the time. Oh boy. Anyway, folks, nature encounters.

That's what we're talking about today. Nature encounters. Give us a call at 855-266-2604 if you got such a thing to tell. Wow. These can be positive interactions with nature? Sure. Or negative ones? But negative ones are always better. Oh, interesting.

They really truly are. We'll have topics of things like dating disasters or bad bosses and people will be like, why don't you have stories about good bosses? And it's like cuz who wants to hear that yeah, my boss was kind and thoughtful like who tells that story Yeah, I have no I have no follow-up questions right exactly exactly a real There were people that were really pissed about like landlords. They're like what about good landlords, and it's kind of like Okay, fine, you know, but I'm sorry, like, what about bad tenants?

Like, yeah, okay, but, you know, tenants don't own anything. You know? That was 100% landlords writing it to say. Oh, of course. What about good landlords? Absolutely. Yeah. For those of you who don't know who Andy is,

which, I mean, what's wrong with you? He was in The Amazing Show Review. He was in Veep. You were in Veep. Yeah The last season of Veep Wow, I didn't see the last season. Well, that's why you're surprised that I was on Yeah, yeah, you were in the office. Mmm. Yeah, it's a very popular show Unfrosted that was that crazy Jerry Seinfeld movie about Pop-Tarts? That's right, yes. Yeah, yeah, and you played the Quaker Oats guy. The Quaker Oats guy, yeah, the guy from the box of Quaker Oats.

And you can also find the Andy Daly podcast project and bananas for bonanza at comedybangbangworld.com. That's not true anymore. Oh wait. Your information is old. Oh boy, Sean. That's what I get for hiring the Irish. Well, where is it? Where is it? Now it's at patreon.com slash Andy Daly. Okay, there you go, folks. Mm-hmm. But you can also go to Comedy Bang Bang World for other wonderful things, just not the things you mentioned. Yeah, yeah, but it's a ghost land now. There's no one there worth listening to.

Oh, not true. But if you had to choose, like if you were down to your last few dollars, I don't know, look, I don't know. Yeah, yeah. And you were also in the HBO film Mountain Head and the Adult Swim Show common side effects. Oh, some of that is true.

Uh-oh. Yeah, I was cut out of Mountain Head. Oh, well, then I'm not going to watch it. Uh, yeah. As much as I love... I'm not going to watch it. As much as I love stories about billionaires at the end of the Earth or the end of the world.

I read as much of the script as they sent me, and it was great. And then I went and I shot a scene on the first day of the shoot. I shot a scene with Jason Schwartzman. We had so much fun. We improvised so much. And when I left, I did, to my credit,

I will say I called it. I said, that scene is not important. And this is the first day of the shoot. And if they're gonna do this much improvising and alt lines for 32 days, that my scene is gone. And it was, it was. Yeah, that's, I think the largest,

like the most disproportionate ratio of time spent there versus time on screen for me was Talladega Nights. It was like two months of shooting and just all kinds of... In Atlanta, was it? No, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Oh, okay. And then when I saw them, I'm like, oh yeah, that's me. They're in the background. Oh, there I go. Okay, wait. I guess I'll wait around. Oh, look, there's me again. Oh, goodbye.

See you later. And, you know, I had a lovely time and I love working for everybody, you know, everybody I worked for and with. Sometimes you get cut out and it's fine because they did, they put it in the trades that I was gonna be in it. So I got a whole round of congratulatory emails. That's all I want anyway. Did you get to go to the premiere?

Did they have such a thing? I was invited to the premiere, but it was in New York and they weren't gonna fly me there or anything like that. And I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go if I'm not in it anyway, right? Wouldn't that be weird? I already knew I wasn't in it at that point. Oh, you did?

Oh, okay, because that would be a dirty trick. I got a lovely, I'll tell you, Jesse Armstrong sent me the nicest email to tell me that I was cut out of the movie. Yes, that's above and beyond. He didn't have to, that's classy British stuff there. Yeah. Well, let's see, we're talking about nature stuff. Have you ever been handy?

I was trying to think about, for my, we gotta come up with different topics for this show. And this was what we thought of for this week. And I was trying to think, I don't really, I never had any sort of like real bad brushes with, other than I lived in a farming area and my best friend's grandfather, he didn't, like he had a farm that sort of like went into

some woodsy areas and he had a new white bull. It wasn't like completely albino, but it was white. woodsy areas and he had a new white bull. It wasn't like completely albino, but it was white. And we went looking for it one day and then found it like in a stand of trees and realized like we had kind of cornered it. Oh. And then just kind of, and it was a very tense sort of moment of like, oh yeah, that's a bull.

And it feels, and we could tell it was kind of felt a little cornered by, you know, four children. So we just kind of went and stood behind a tree and waited for it to wander away. Yeah, that reminds me of a, I rented a bike in Anchorage, Alaska. I was there to shoot something. And I took this bike trail and I'm biking along

and I see a moose and I was pretty excited, like a really big moose. Yeah, they're huge antlers. So I hopped off the bike and I'm fishing for my phone, I just want to take a picture of the moose and these two other people come biking in the other direction and they go, she's with her calves, get out of there. And so I just got on the bike and rode away and then the entire rest of the time that I was in Anchorage, not that I was bringing it up, but other people would say to me,

man, you read about that moose attack, you hear about that moose, you know, like every story is about mooses screwing people up. Right, right. So I was nearly killed in Anchorage by a cornered moose. By a moose. When you tried to ride its calf. I did.

Well, I just wanted to take one back to the hotel for the... You know, just to amuse me. Yeah, take one back to the set of whatever you're shooting. Oh man, people would... What a riot. That Andy Daly, he's hilarious. Yeah, life bit, you know what I mean? That kind of thing. Very Andy Kaufman. People talk for years about the time Andy Daley showed up in a moose calf.

Oh yeah. Left it in its trailer, shit all over the place. Can I say S-word, something like that? Oh yeah, yeah. It's satellite radio. There's an actual fucking satellite in space. Holy shit. That's delivering this to people all over the globe. That's crazy. I know.

It's such a, but finally technology being used for something valid and useful. Yeah, that's true. Like this. Yeah. This is a good use of rocket fuel. Sure. Let's go to the phones.

All right. I mean, that is why we're here. That's why we're all here. Yeah. Let's start. And again, that's 855-266-2604. If you have a story you want to tell us about- And this is live.

People can actually dial that number right now. Absolutely. And talk to us. This is like a real grownup radio show. I'm bewildered. I know, I know. It's the sort of thing that doesn't happen. That doesn't happen this on a podcast.

Hell no. Yeah, over at Comedy Bang Bang World. They're not taking calls. Patreon, they're not taking fucking calls. They don't even have a phone. No! Ridiculous. Mike.

Oh, this is, it says it is from the Appalachian Trail. Yeah, I know, I noticed it says you're, are you calling us from the Appalachian Trail? I am in town of Starbucks. The trail actually goes through the town of Hanover where Dartmouth is. Okay. I'm basically on it, yeah.

Oh, nice. Cool. And yeah, and I started in Georgia and about 1700 miles in and hopefully get to the finish line in Maine soon enough. So you're hiking it? Yes, I'm hiking the entire hill.

Wow. Whoa. Whoa. And have you had any brushes with death? Please say yes. Yeah, I've had some close encounters while in the backcountry. This hike's been pretty tame with the wildlife encounters. It's been hard on my knees.

Yeah. Are you traveling by yourself? Yeah, usually there's some other hikers to hike with here and there. We call it trail family or tramly. I had one for a while, but I got banged up so they had to keep going on so they could get back before their employer health insurance ran out and all that. But you usually have some company every other day or so. Yeah, well that begs a question that I wanted to ask, which is how are you affording to

do this? Yeah, that's a really common one. I collect a little VA disability and my wife is basically my sugar mama. Oh, nice. She's a great big gig. And she, yeah, yeah, so she let me go out and do this, have this adventure. We've gone on some hikes together of course too but uh yeah this one's a solo a bit trick. Right and apparently not only is she your sugar mama she's willing to be without you for extended

stretches of time. Yeah when I approached this she, ah, we've been together 10 years. I'm bored with you. Go for it. Yeah. Nice. Perfect. Nice. Every time I hear Appalachian Trail, I always think of, remember the governor of South Carolina that was having like an affair with like a woman from Argentina? Mark Sanford. Mark Sanford.

I remember all about that. Yeah, and that was while he was fucking this woman. He was supposedly hiking the Appalachian Trail. The great thing about that scandal is that when he finally came back, his press conference was, yes, I have fallen in love. I am in love with the woman that I'm having an affair with.

It's like, oh, nobody ever does that. You know what was crazy too, just as a personal thing? We used to go to South Carolina a lot and rent beach houses, like on our vacations. And we had a friend, we had friends who lived in South Carolina who were sort of, they were Hollywood people, a gay couple that had moved to South Carolina and they were very much adopted by- I understood Hollywood people to be a euphemism for gay couple, by the way. You didn't have to say... No, no, no. There are Hollywood people...

No, we're Hollywood people, but we're not a gay couple. Not yet. But they became... They were adopted by South Carolina's, you know, fancy people. So they knew... They were very good friends with the governor's soon-to-be ex-wife. Oh. and fancy people. So they knew, they were very good friends with the governor's soon to be ex-wife. Oh.

And we rented the governor's vacation home. Oh wow. Shortly after this happened, and people were bringing casseroles and leaving them on the door. Like because they felt bad for the wife and the kids, you know, and she had gone. And then like they felt bad for the wife and the kids, you know, and she had gone. She was like part of the Black and Decker family.

Really? Yeah, she was an heiress at some time. Is she a Black or a Decker? I don't know, I don't know that. All right. But yeah, it was very strange. It was very strange. And then like reporters would sort of show up

and we'd be like, no, they're not here. We're like, all right, okay. Have some casserole. Yeah, you want casserole? USA Today. Yeah. Oh, well, wait, you have, it says here that you have a bear encounter you were gonna tell us about.

Yeah. I'm hiking AT now. I hike the Pacific Crest Trail, which goes from Mexico to Canada on the West Coast mountains. And I've had a lot of encounters like moose have run across my path. It's been on its reach. My foot's been in a few inches of rattlesnakes that luckily didn't strike a bear run past my tent, been close to mountain lines.

But the people, the story most people gravitate towards is my wife and I were on this camping road trip and we stopped at Medicine Bow National Forest in southern Wyoming and we went to this campground that was kind of like abandoned because a bunch of beetles destroyed the trees. The trees are just falling everywhere. It was next to this lake. Well, we're not supposed to camp there. It's closed, but we trespass. And we went a mile into it and set up, sent me to the lake shore and we were setting it up at a right dusk as the turn of the night. And my wife said, well, I'm just malfunction, just die.

Didn't run out of batteries. He didn't drop it. It just died. And right before he got into the tent, I was like, I feel like we're being watched and I'm thinking like a deer or raccoon or something. And I look up and there's a pair of glowing eyes and then another and then another. And it was a mama bear and two adolescent cubs. So I've had bear encounter before

and usually you stop, yell and they run away. And I did that and they just didn't move. And the mom's eyes are like squinting. And I'm like, okay, this is new, this is bad. So my wife, I thought she could see them. But it turns out you have to be at the angle that my headlamp was, this was on my head, to see their eyes.

Are you outside of the tent? Are you guys just out in the, okay. Yes, yes, we're out. We were just about to get into the tent. Thank God we didn't, because she knows how this would play out otherwise. But she didn't see them, so she started stomping towards him, started making steps towards him and yelling.

And one of the adolescents lost his nerve and ran off. And I was like, okay, this is serious. So I went up to her and I was like, all right, I wanna grab the back of your belt. You're gonna lead us out. I wanna keep the headlamp on these bears and I'll look behind me to give you light when we can. And that's the best we can do.

And they followed us for like 60 yards. And then we got to a grove of trees. And I was like, we're kind of like boxed in at the lake and these trees like, all right, all right, I don't know how this is gonna play out. And then they just seemed to leave us be. So we got to our car and I'm not sure I mentioned this, but we were entirely sober for all this. So, you know, definitely have it,

but you know, we couldn't, I couldn't just drive away safely. And my nerves were rattled. So we, uh, we got to the car to sleep and then about 40 yards away, they were pulling on their approved trash cans all night long. And we were just hoping they didn't come find us in the car. Luckily, by dawn's light they are gone and we got to live for a couple more decades. Wow. What kind of bears? Yeah, hard to say because it was so dark. I could only see their eyes. That would have been the southern

most range for grizzly bear, but our friend who majored in zoology said it was likely black bear because we were near a water source and they tend to get a little more temperamental there. grizzly bear, but our friend who majored in zoology, so it's likely black bear because we are near a water source and they tend to get a little more temperamental there. And so I also forgot to mention is that lake serves Laramie, Wyoming, because out there it's very dry. So that was like the only large body of water for many, many miles. So of course animals are on gravitate towards that. We put ourselves at needless risk.

So right. And that's where you decided to go without authorization, far from any other humans. Yeah. Oh, we were easily five miles away from the next person I would imagine. Oh, wow. Are you now a bear spray person? Do you keep bear spray on you now? So when you're hiking these huge hikes like the Appalachian Trail, we have a maximum call it every, let's go as every ounce counts. So you try to go as wide as possible. And even after that, no, I don't carry bear spray unless I'm in grizzly country. I don't walk. I try to save my weight, try to save my knees.

I don't go from the, my front door to my car without bear spray. And I live in an urban setting. Right. I've never seen a bear anywhere around. Yeah, no, there's not a and I live in an urban setting. I've never seen a bear anywhere around. Yeah, no, there's not a lot of bears in Glendale. No, no, I know. But still. You can't be too safe. Exactly. Well, you know, you probably could be too safe. You probably could.

All right. Well, Mike, I'm glad that you made it. Me too. And I don't know, you know, I know every ounce counts, but maybe bring a gun. Like I'm not like a big pro gun, I'm not a big pro gun person, but I think if I was gonna be doing what you're doing, I would want at least a 22.

Yeah, some sticks of dynamite maybe. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or a really scary dynamite maybe. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or a really scary mask to slip on. Oh yeah, right. Yeah, yeah. Ooh. All right, Mike, thanks a lot. Thanks a lot.

Have a safe trip and yeah, and have a good trip home. Did he say they were not completely sober? I missed that. I thought he said they were. No, I said, I thought he said they were completely sober. Yeah, but then he said they couldn't drive home. I think he said, cause he was too nervous. Yeah, yeah.

And also I bet they left a bunch of their shit behind. I'm sure. Yeah, yeah. Right, right. Right. David, David from Australia. Oh my God, when you talk about nature, Australia, Australia is a nightmare from what I hear.

It is, we've got spiders that will kill you every day, but we don't have bears. Yeah, but you don't have bears, but you have all kinds of other things. Snakes and spiders. We do. We do. We have, we have, we've got, I think we've got the ten deadliest snakes. Wow. Wow. Somebody sounds proud. Yeah. All you gotta do is round up those ten snakes though. Yeah, yeah. And then you're. And then the whole country will explode. You also have beautiful wild parrots. I was in Adelaide and the streets were full of like rosy cockatoos or something like that.

Oh yeah. Nice. The cockatoos go eyes. Pack of go eyes you might have seen. Big pink eyes. Yeah, yeah. That's what it was. They were pink, but they kind of look like cockatoos. Yeah, got it. I've heard a lot about your cane toad problem.

Oh yes, that's in Queensland. A pest, brought in pest. Yeah, yeah. But that's not what my story's about. My story's about me being a pest stories about me being a pest in when me and my buddy were in San Sebastian, Spain on a backpacking trip. Yup. Checking out some makes over there. And so we were staying in this weird bed seat place where in Spain for some reason when this crazy Australian backpackers show up, if there's no accommodation, they let you

stay at old lady's houses. Um, but the thing that happens, the tourist, the tourist board or the tourist office said, Hey, go stay at this lady's house. So we're staying at this lady's house. And, uh, we're here to sleep in your house. Exactly. Um, and so we were, we're having a bunch of Swedes hanging there too. Oh my God.

And we were having, we had dinner one night, my buddy cooked, he cooked a spaghetti bolognese or a spag bowl as we call it. Yep. And it was my job to do all the washing up. And I was lazy. So I just left it all in the sink, knowing very well that I had to do it before I went to bed. We were going out partying in San Sebastian, which means lots of sangria into the middle of the night. And I get lots of my friends and stuff. I come home at like 4 a.m. on my own and I get and look at the sink and all water is drained out and it's just an absolute nightmare.

Spaghetti, bolognese, food, it's a spaghetti just all through the sink, all of the dishes and everything and I know I'm going to get in big trouble if I don't clean it up. So I'm at like 4 a.m. and I'm cleaning it up and I can't find any sponge or anything so I'm just having to use my hands and I'm rubbing it off with my hands and picking bits of spaghetti with my nails and just getting it all clean as best I can and then I go to bed and my buddy's already gone to bed and he wakes me up and he says by the way don't do the dishes I just had the worst puke puke puke in there when I came home. Oh dear. Oh.

I can still see it under my nails now. This was 20 years ago. Oh my God. Yeah, that's pretty gross. That is really gross. Yeah. Yeah. And it wasn't stained with sangria or were you drinking white sangria? It was 4 a.m. and I definitely didn't drink it.

All the things as well. I understand. Yes. Yeah, you might have noticed that you were cleaning up vomit if you had not been quite so drunk. Yeah, yeah. There's a chance, but also, you know, it's very, it was mostly spaghetti pollinated vomit and spaghetti vomit. Yes. They look remarkably the same. Of course.

It's like a mother and child reunion sort of. Yes. That's the appeal of spag ball. Spag ball. It's practically vomit to begin with. Right, exactly. Yeah, it's pre-digesting. Yeah, yeah, it's very,

there's no embarrassment if it comes back out. No, exactly. Because it's like, yeah, that's what it was when it went in. That's what it was. Yep, all right. Wow. Well, that, and are you,

have you done lots of like world traveling? That seems to be a very Australian thing, just because you guys live so far from everything. Yeah, yeah, I did a bunch in my early 20s. It's kind of what you do, yeah. If you're gonna fly all the way to Europe, you might as well stay for three months. Yeah, yeah.

I worked in New Zealand once, outside of Auckland on a movie, and we were in this big old house that this guy, he moved out of into like a mobile home so that we could use the house to shoot in. And he was talking to us once and he said like, yeah, I've been to Los Angeles, except like the Kiwi accent's very nasal like this.

And he said, I've been to Los Angeles. He said, yeah, I was able to mate and we went up, we didn't have anywhere to stay, but we wanted to see the Hollywood sign. So we went up and camped under the Hollywood sign and he's like, Park Ranger came up and it was like what are you doing? This place is full of rattlesnakes. We didn't know, we thought you'd just camp here. That's how it is in New Zealand. I did a movie there too. And it's like you could pull over anywhere

in your camper van and just, yeah. That's not how we do it here at all. You just know, I once was driving, I did a road trip across America and I was sleeping in my car in Miami near the beach because I didn't want to get a hotel. And I woke up and there was a drug deal going on on the bonnet of my car. Hi guys!

I don't know if you remember, my friend was next to me, I was like, don't wake up, shut your face down. He was like, what's going on? I went, oh shut up. Do not get a good look at those guys! Well welcome to America. My name's Tony Montana. Alright David, well thanks for calling. Thank you, cheers. Alright.

Next up, we got Monica from Richmond, Virginia. Hello Monica. Hi, Andy. Hi, Andy. Hi there. It's so easy because I don't know which one of us you were you addressed first. It doesn't matter. I have a feeling. I was addressing Andy first. Right. See, we both get top billing.

Tell us about your story. Your your brush with nature. Yes, I'm going to talk about the weather. Are y'all familiar with the term wintery mix? Yes. I am not. It's like snow and rain. Kind of slushy, slush coming from the sky. Is that a new weather term?

It's like a non-committal, it's like a non-committal weather term. It's like the catch-all. Okay. So in Richmond, Virginia, we live like on the weather line that you don't know if it's going to be rain or ice or snow. So when times of weather, they just call it a wintery mix. Oh, it sounds like a salad. Yeah.

Yeah, it really is really kind of like bullshit because it's like covering all of your bases. Right, but you can't come on, you can't expect them to know like what's gonna come out of the sky. It's gonna be precipitation and a difference of a few degrees makes it one or the other.

I think you're being unnecessarily hard on your weather professionals. Well, see that's a very diplomatic way of looking at it, but when what happens in Richmond is we're not set up for wintry weather. So it's so infrequent that we get it that when we do, it's like a big disaster. Yeah, people go crazy. It's kind of like when it rains in Los Angeles, people just can't handle it. Yeah, people don't know what to do.

So this past January, we had a, they were calling for a blizzard. And the blizzard ended up being maybe about an inch or so of snow and then a little bit of ice on top of it, but it was severe to the point that our water treatment plant malfunctioned. Oh boy. And so with this quote blizzard under three inches of precipitation, the schools were closed and we didn't have water for a week. Wow. The entire city of Richmond, Virginia. The city, yeah. And then what was funny in the counties. They were like the water still fine in the county

Except that it wasn't That'll teach him for living outside of town yeah, they that so we didn't have water at all for a week and Luckily because we had a wintry mix, we were able to go in our backyard and collect snow in trash bags and boil it down to put in our toilet. Oh, nice. Yeah, there was no water at any of the stores and the people that lived in the counties were, you know, the superiority of this didn't happen to us and we still have water. And I think by the end of the week, they were like, so it was the the blizzard which is a couple

inches of wet slop you know caused this malfunction and we're still dealing with it. I think it was like two weeks ago we were back under a water boil advisory. Wow. Oh my goodness. That's crazy. That's pretty resourceful though, the snow, the snow collection. Oiling the snow for the toilet. Yeah, yeah.

I would have- Yeah, that, cause that was my biggest concern. Flushing the toilet. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right. I would have tried to drink that melted snow.

You didn't try that? Well, so there was leaves and other things in it, which ended up all in the toilet. Yum. Okay. Yeah, we- Again, like a salad. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, that's right. So that was, on the one side, it was good that we had access to liquid. Because really the toilet was the big concern in my household. Yes. The toilet being flushed, everything else. We do. We really depend on our toilets as well.

We sure do. Yeah. Although you can always dig a hole in the backyard. I do that sometimes just for fun. Just for fun. It's like a camping trip. It makes the neighbors happy. Yeah, they love it.

Yeah, they recognize me from TV and they're like, that guy's shitting in his yard. Again. Yep, again. Well, this is, I mean, have you considered like getting like some sort of cistern to like gather rainwater in case of such an eventuality happening?

I mean, you're already under it again. Well, yeah. We've started, it's interesting now when you're thinking about it from going to the grocery store and a couple months ago, they like the two and a half gallon plastic containers and I bought one, I brought it home. And I said to my husband, like, this is just in case, like I have a feeling this isn't over yet. And it wasn't, it wasn't.

So I think it's changed the way I even like use water in the house. So if I'm going to like change the water bowl, my dog's water bowl, I'll pour that water in a plant. Right. But not having water for a week with, you know, like camping in the city. Yes. Well, in drought-prone California, we're used to all that. And I mean, I have, I don't know, I think I might have 10 gallons of bottled water like in our shed, just in case.

That's earthquake preparedness. Yeah, it's all earthquake preparedness. You go to Costco and you buy a big flat of the big jugs of water and then you got it just in case. Does that expire? the big jugs of water and then you got it just in case. Does that expire? It's water, I can't imagine. I mean, sure there's microplastics, but I mean, there's already, I'm already teeming with microplastics.

Yeah. You know? So I, it's like, and I feel like if in an earthquake, I'm not going to quibble. You know, I'm just going to be glad that I got water. Yeah. That's fair. Yeah. So anyway, Monica That's fair. Yeah. So anyway, Monica, back up, you know, get that water supply.

Stock up. Yeah. And stock up on that wintry mix. Yeah. Jingle jangle. That's what I can do. That's, yeah, that's like, I mean, you can't predict the weather,

but that's, we've had that winty mix that there have been times that schools closed before wet hits the ground. And there have been times where we've gotten 12 inches of snow. And there have been times where we've gotten like a quarter of an inch of mist. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, a wintry mix, you know. Wintry mix. Yeah, and if they're closing the schools, that's their cowardice. That's not, you know, you can't blame that

on the meteorologists. Yeah. You know. Yeah, schools closed. Yeah. Makes the kids happy. Yeah, school closures in this part of the country are not fun because they're like air quality smoke.

Yes. Stuff like that. Exactly. It's much more fun to much more fun to have. Snow! Yes, yeah. Snow is yeah I mean growing up in Illinois snow days they were fun. They were fun yeah. All right well Monica thank you so much. Thanks Andy, thanks Andy. Have a great day. You too. 855-266-2604, that's the number here at the Andy Richter Collins show with Andy Daly. It's Andy. Hi.

Hi. Yeah. We've got Olivia from Brazil, sorry Brazil, Indiana. Oh, Brazil, Indiana. And she has, this is, I don't know if we had one of these when you were on before, it's a wild card story. What does that mean? It's off topic, it just means it's off topic. Okay, alright.

But yeah, we are very excited whenever we get a wild card story. So Olivia. To me this is a wild card town. Yeah. Brazil, India, I is a wild card town. Yeah. Brazil, India, I never heard of Brazil. Yeah. The disappointment in your voice whenever it was, oh, Brazil, Indiana.

You have to be used to that. You have to when you say, I'm from Brazil and people go, oh, Samba, eh? And you're like, no, Indiana. And they're like, oh, you mean Travis Tritt. I think the whiteness in my skin, I'm pretty pale. That seems like a pretty dead giveaway that I'm not from like fun Brazil.

Yeah, but I mean, you know, a lot of Germans escaped to Brazil. Yep. Yeah. You could be, you could be a Nazi lineage. You know? I mean, one can never know, you know? One can never...

Listen, with my last name, I don't even want to know what those people did. Mm-hmm. Well, tell us your story, your wild card story. Oh boy. So I actually have ADHD and am bad at telling stories in like an organized way, so it feels appropriate to have a wild card asterisk. Yes. Okay, all right, that's good to know.

I actually wrote everything down, so I'll try not to talk too fast. Oh, no, go right ahead. Listen, I got the ADD, the HD not so much, but the ADD for sure. So I'm with you, so don't worry. And I am perfectly neuro-typical in every way, so I'll keep you on track.

He's a sick as fuck. That was quick of balance, it's a good mix. Yeah, yeah. So my call is about the embarrassing story theme from a few weeks ago. Yes. It's not so much embarrassing for me as it is for my mom. That tough titty.

It's something I did, but I was in grade school and I don't have a lot of like carried over shame from then, but it's definitely like if my child did that, I would be mortified as a grownup to walk back. So to set the scene, I was in third grade, so I would have been nine. My parents had me in like a small private Christian school, K through eighth grade in Southwest Indiana. So at home, we had a family desktop computer that everyone shared, and my mom was involved in school PTO stuff, and she was regularly on there. I remember it was in the fall, and I don't have any memories or feelings of what led up to it,

but one day I got on the computer and my mom had left her email open and the school directory was on the desk. So as a nosy, curious kid, suddenly getting access to your mom's email is like, whoa, what kind of secrets are in here? I've got power. And for some reason, I drafted an email to my Spanish teacher, which was not even a formal subject when I

was in third grade. It's like, Hey, let's take 45 minutes and learn some Spanish once a week. Sure. So I looked at the school faculty page with everyone's contact info and I start an email to my Spanish teacher using my mom's email account. From what I recall it said something along the lines of, dear Mrs. So-and-so, you're the worst teacher ever, you're mean, I hate you, you're fired. And then I signed it as being from the principal. And I sent it. And I guess just went on with my day. I'm not sure what happened next,

because it was so long ago. Well, that's done. Cross that off the list. Yeah. So the next day when my mom picked me up at the end of school, she parked in the lot came around to my door, said to come out, I got out of the car, she was standing there with a piece of paper. And like I have that mental image. But I have when I was a kid,

you know, I have no idea what's going on because I'm nine and I'm not self aware at all. And she was like, Did you use my email to write this? And she handed me a printout of the email and I clam up and just deny everything. Like, nope, not me. And then she said, well, are you sure? Because it says it's from my email, but I don't remember sending it. And again, I just plain ignorant.

And then I don't remember. I'm not saying I couldn't have, but I don't remember it. Uh huh, yeah. That's the kind of thing you wouldn't remember. And then she pointed out the word, your, was misspelled. Oh, definitely. And there was an apostrophe missing somewhere else. And she's like, I don't think your older sister did it, and your younger sister is a baby.

Right. So I'm definitely giving a bad name to middle children in this story. Again, I said, no, I didn't do it. And so I don't know how long it took for my mom to get a confession out of me because I don't clearly remember what happened after that. But I'm pretty sure we went inside the school and I had to apologize to the principal and my Spanish teacher and then maybe left. But later that same day, my mom had me write sort of like an apology or like a confession. I don't know, I had paper and I don't even know who it was for, but religion is very important to my mom and she grew up Catholic. So I guess, if you

aren't suffering, you aren't doing it right. My mom, she was planning on being a nun when she was like 17. And the nuns told her to wait until she was older. And then a few days later, she met my dad. So, it's always been a big part of her life. But I got a big lecture about lying earlier in that day. And then she compared me to Peter in the Bible denying being a disciple of Jesus three times, and like said that I lied to her three times, and then I had to include Bible verses in that. You're denying Christ. You're practically hanging him on the cross with that email.

I may as well just, I know, I may as well have had a hammer, right? Right. But I was nine and I had no reason that I remember to do any of this sort of thing. I wasn't bad at Spanish. It was in the fall and my mom wanted me to do for like, I guess, reparation, some sort of like tour or something for my principal and then my teacher. And for the principal, I think it was discussed that I would rake leaves, but that never happened. And for my Spanish teacher, it was like cleaning up the basement or something, but it was a

play area for her kids. So it's just like picking up their toys. And it was dumb. But like I completely humiliated my mother writing this insanely random hate mail. And it wasn't very far into the school year since it was in fall and it would have been October or November, but unfortunately it was the October or November following September 11th when all the grownups were already pretty vulnerable and nobody needed this. Wow. Yeah. following September 11th, when all the grownups were already pretty vulnerable and nobody needed this. Wow. Yeah.

It went September 11th, anthrax, and then your email. Were like the three big things going on at that time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I was her 13th reason. Yeah. But hey, my mom never left her email signed in ever again. I don't blame her.

I don't blame her. I don't blame her with you being the wild card that you are. Well, Olivia, thank you so much for the call. Yeah. I love that story. Thank you guys for letting me talk. No problem. All right.

Have a good one. Bye. All right. Come on good one. Bye. All right. Come on up. We got Jim from Baltimore. All right. What's up, Andy? Hey, Jim. Hey, what's up? Yeah, we're back on track. You've got a nature story for us, I guess, and it takes place in the ocean. Oh.

One of the nature-iest of natures. Under the sea. Oh, under the nature Yeah, and fittingly today is the 115th anniversary of the birth of Jacques Cousteau Wow Wow Wow A voyage under the sea seems appropriate right exactly I called with two I don't know which one I have a I have a beautiful one and I have a scary one. What do you want scary? Yeah

so I don't know which one. I have a beautiful one and I have a scary one. What do you want? Scary. Yeah. So, the year was 2013. My wife and I were on a belated honeymoon and we went to Key West, Florida, if you love it. I've been there many times. I love it too. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. One of my favorite places, my wife was about 39 months pregnant at the time. It was New Year's Eve. Really not a better place to be when extraordinarily pregnant on New Year's Eve. Party town.

Yeah. But on that fateful day of New Year's Eve, we went out on a vessel and, uh, I love to scuba dive. My bride loves to snorkel. So, so she's out there snorkeling and I'm, I'm scuba diving and I'm not at the time and, uh, a very accomplished scuba diver. Uh, but we go down, it's about 40 feet, right? And the way they describe it, the coral reef there, it's like imagine a hand with like 20 fingers. And the way you dive it is you go down and you go up and down the fingers, like an explore the reef.

Right, like you're drawing a grade school turkey. Exactly. Yes. A 20-feathered turkey. Yes. Yeah, more realisticathered turkey. Yes. Yeah, more realistic. By the way, I have to say this to Mr. Daley. I have always felt like a kindred spirit with you because I too long to be part of Sha-Na-Na.

Oh, yeah. And yeah, I've considered getting Bowser's face tattooed over my own. That's going a little far, but yeah. Yeah, I feel like I could sneak on stage that way. Oh, I see. Yeah. Anyway, so we descend into the briny deep, about 40 feet, me and my dive buddy, who I had just met on the vessel. And we get down there and it's full of sharks.

on the vessel and we get down there and it's full of sharks. Oh! Full of, there's like about 15 or more Caribbean reef sharks, which are not like dangerous sharks, but they're very shark shaped sharks. Sure. You know, they're not like a bubbly thing. Are they like the black tipped, isn't like the black tipped ones?

They're larger than that. Oh, okay. The smallest one I saw was probably about six feet. Oh, wow. And the biggest was probably nine, nine and a half. That's pretty big. And there was one, yeah, it's big fish. And it's one big male.

And I knew it was one, I only saw one male. I knew it was the same one the whole time because he had one of those remora fish, those sucker fish. Yeah. Like stuck on his head, those like, so I knew it was him anyway me and my dive buddy were like two and a half three feet apart and a guy from another dive boat that I don't know who he was I will never see again as far as know, swims between us at great speed at the sharks, like straight at this wall of sharks, right?

And at the last minute he rears up his body and starts swinging his fists around and kicking his legs around like in this threatening, I don't know, like I have no idea what he was doing, but he did it at the sharks and the sharks were not pleased. You can tell they weren't pleased because what they did was they all got,

they all arched their backs. So they're almost like U-shaped sharks and they pointed their pectoral fins straight down. And instead of just swimming gracefully, they're like scooting about, like I'm gonna bite the shit out of you. You know what I mean? And, and then that guy, this guy, I do not know, Jett, he leaves.

And we just got there. He goes back to his home, wherever that is. I'm going to say Des Moines and we're down there with these sharks, right? And they... So we're diving along the first finger and the big bull, the big male is following us, like six feet behind us, you know, the whole time. And then finally he disappears and I'm like, thank Christ, you know? And I'm feeling better and we get around the coral head and we come around the other side and this monster shark had swum over the top of that coral head and met us, waited for us on the other side.

He knew where you were going. Hi guys! Surprise! Yeah, he's there every day. He knows what the divers do right? He's like these dickheads are gonna be over there in a moment Yeah, so we had you know, we just gotten there We were down for I have it in my dive log 52 minutes and this fish followed us for the entire fucking time like just

I've never been more frightened in all my life. As I dive and dive and I can't even see the beauty. All I see is this carnivish, you know, following me. And then I'm thinking, holy Christ, my wife's at the surface right now and she looks delicious. Right. You know? She's basically a turducken.

She's, yeah, she's a twofer. She's yeah, she's a twofer. Yeah, she's a free meal inside of a meal. Yeah. It's like stuffed crust pizza. That's what my wife is. And anyway, and you know, the sharks know that. Yeah, sharks. Yeah, they're totally clocking that. Hold on. Sharks know everything. Forget these two. They look tough. Let's go up there to that burrito.

But we get back to the boat, right? And there's a, I don't know what the proper term, I call him a shorebilly, like a Florida kid working on the boat, 19 or whatever live as the day is long he they're under the boat is a goliath grouper you know the size of a sofa yeah massive fish right and it's just hanging out 15 feet below the boat and this kid dives off the boat with just a mask and fins no boat with just a mask and fins, no air, swims 45 feet down to the bottom, comes back up and tickles the fish under its belly. Like tickles it. And Goliath Gruper will do a thing called booming. Those are they make this rumble.

Yeah, yeah. Like a click in their throat that like booms out in the water. Yeah. It's like in their throat that like booms out in the water. Yeah. It's a sound. If you've ever been on a sidewalk, right? Like at a corner and a city bus goes around the corner and it like downshifts and you feel that in your chest from the diesel, like it felt like that 30 feet away, it was unbelievable.

Just incredible. Then I get back on the boat and I'm totally freaked out. It's supposed to be two dives, but the second dive I did not go back in the water. I just stood on the boat watching my wife on the surface ready to leap in and I don't know, battle a carnivish of some sort. But that was it. That was my little scuba diving why didn't you just I mean where is there because I think if I was I mean and I have I have scuba dived I was licensed to scuba dive but I went many years ago before I had children and then I just

never really kept up with it. I think I went twice. But I think if I saw those fish, I would just get the fuck out of the water. And why was that not? Is it just because you paid for the dive? You were here with a stranger? You wanted to impress him? I felt like, you know, and I've wanted to be Jacustó since I was three years old. And I'd been around sharks before. This was just different. I'd never been around an angry shark. Yeah. Was the dive buddy like more experienced than you?

Is that how it works? I think so. He was 114 years old. Oh, just like Chuck Cousteau. Oh wow. See now there you're, you would have been fine. Cause when the shark, you could get away faster than the old man.

You only got to be faster than your dog civil war. Yeah. Yeah Mm-hmm. Yeah Two seconds more Last year I was in Costa Rica, which is beautiful as I was place called Drake Bay And there's a thing called the thermocline when you're diving It's like this flat plain where the water below is cold and the water above is warm. And everybody warned me, the water here, because of the way the Pacific comes in and hits these rocks, the thermocline is really weird. And what they mean is it's like, instead of being this flat plain, it's like a rumpled blanket, right? So when you're

diving, you're going in and out of cold, in and out of cold, in and out of cold. And I'm diving along and in the distance, I see like a silver ribbon running through the water, like as far as I could see in either direction. And as I got closer, it was krill, you know, like what whales eat. Yeah, yeah. Like the little tiny shrimps the whales eat. Yeah, a cloud of them, yeah.

It was just this, a swarm, yeah, is what it's called, is a swarm, billions of krill, stretching into the distance in either direction. And I'm old, so I have bifocal skewed mask. what it's called, is a swarm of billions of krill stretching in a distance in either direction. I'm old so I have a bifocal skewed mask. So I get up close and I can look at them individually. But as I penetrate the swarm and swim inside, the temperature drops like 15 degrees. And I realize that it's a cold shunt. It's like a tube of cold water made by the crazy currents and the krill have completely filled it like to the edges, right? And so as I get through it, I realized that I can see the shape of

the water. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like the krill, yeah, it's the most, yeah. Andy, please, if you ever get a chance, go again. All right. It's a magical place. I will. I will. Thank you so much. All right. the most yeah Andy please if you ever get a chance go again all right magical place I will hmm I will so much all right yeah wow Jim all right we got time for one more okay or wait oh we okay I just gotta know we got two more okay Bruce from Chicago are you there Andy and Andy how you you guys doing? Good. How are you? Yeah. Yeah Hey so so my story

my encounter with nature was that I Was on a cross-country motorcycle road trip Going through route 66 from Chicago to LA and as I was riding through Oklahoma, there was a storm going on and I saw some flying toward me. And was it a cow? Well, not quite, not quite. It was like the size of a football. So as it got closer to me, I realized it was a tumbleweed. So I actually got hit by a tumbleweed while I was going about 80 miles an hour or so on an expressway through Oklahoma. And that thing almost knocked me off my bike.

Wow. Was it like a, but it was a tornado. It was just a high wind. Well, so actually right after that, I actually saw a tornado forming about a mile or so to the west of where I was. Yeah. Did that cause you to get off your motorcycle and stop somewhere? So yeah, I went to the next accident and stopped at a gas station and I still had a lot of parts of the tumbleweed stuck on my on my leg and it's kind of just like scratching through my jeans and and it was really just like a ball of like

branches and twigs. Yeah they're like prickers and it has prickers on yeah yeah they're like little thorny thing yeah. So it was right it was hard as hell. And I mean, again, I was probably going like 80, 80 some miles an hour. So when that thing hit me, it really like kind of pushed me a little bit. And that's why I thought I was going to like just get knocked out of my bike. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. You definitely think of tumbleweeds as just sort of lazily hopping along the breeze. Yeah. I have not ever heard of a tumbleweed being a high speed projectile before. Well, you're the projectile. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, yeah. We're both. Yeah, exactly. Hmm. All right. And there was just flying through the air. All right, well, Bruce, I'm glad you made it. Mm-hmm.

Thanks. All right. Thanks for the call. Hmm. All right. Wow. Now our last call. It's not so much a story as I guess it's a question and it's a wildcard question. A wildcard question?

Phil calling from Texas. Hey Andy and Andy, how's it going? Hey there. Thanks for holding, Phil. Yeah, you bet. Thanks so much for taking my call. I'm honored and delighted. I submitted this wildcard question a while ago via the Google form. Yes. And basically, I heard you, Andy Richter, joke with Conan on Conan's podcast about having a kind of facility and fascination of weird, dark, and twisted things like scotology. So I figured why not ask you,

what's the darkest fact that you know? Oh. Oh, wow. Isn't scotology having to do with poo? Yeah, that's poop. Mm-hmm. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Did you admit to being a scotologist on the Conan O'Brien list? I don't know if I did that,

but I mean, I sure do like talking about poop. Okay. I mean, who doesn't, really? Mm. Although I do, I have my five-year-old now. It's all poop everything to the point where we're like, you know what? It's getting old. You know, I get it.

Pooh's really great, but enough, enough. Yeah. Switch to something else. Uh-huh. Gosh, my darkest sort of fact? A dark fact. Yeah. Wow. I'm trying to think.

See Conan also too, Conan's like an encyclopedia of, you know, like gruesome details about different things. Like, you know, the Kennedy assassination or the, or, you know, Lincoln, like he knows, you know, like he could just sit and tell you, you know, pretty much about Lincoln's assassination in the way that you would learn in a movie or something. I'm trying to think about the darkest,

the darkest thing I know. Maybe you can make it nature-related since it's a nature theme. Sure, nature-related. While you think, and I'll share this, we both know Brian Stack. Yes. Like the nicest guy in the world.

Yes, infuriatingly so. Infuriatingly nice, just a sweetheart. And somebody told me a story about him that there was a story in the news about a man who had killed his entire family. And Brian Stack said, with all this enthusiasm, he goes, oh yes, those are called family obliterators and it's more common than you think oh there's a term for that and he knows it um gosh I well I I mean I don't I can't

think of anything that's like a fact I mean I I can't think of anything that's like a fact. I mean, I can think of things like, you know, like I just flashed on, since you said nature, I saw a picture and I don't know, I was on the internet and it was of a guy that had been killed by a bear and the only photo that I saw of it, Like they had photos of the area, but there was a photo of a, it was his body, but it was just of his leg. And his leg was, you know, like he was laying down, he was on his back, but with his foot on the ground. So the leg was up, you know, with a bent knee angle. And from the knee up was jeans. And from the knee down to the boot, because the boot was there with the sock, but between the knee and the boot,

there was just a tibia and fibula. Wow. It completely cleaned all, the bear just like sat down and just like, I'm gonna eat this calf and shin, you know? And so it was crazy, you know? It was just like an amazing thing. That was that bear's thing, just like,

this is the part I like to eat. And if I, and I'm remembering it now, a park ranger came up on that bear with a 22, which is not a very powerful rifle, and the bear charged him, and he dropped the bear by shooting it between the eyes as it charged him. Wow.

But that was what he came upon, you know, was this dead hiker, and it was beginning, like that was where it had started. I see. Yeah, yeah. It's meal. Mm. Um, so yeah, I mean, there's something. That's kind of dark. I mean, to have that in my mind. Oh, oh, wait. Oh, it says something here. I've somehow learned, heard more about John Wayne Gacy from Andy's recordings than anywhere else. Oh, interesting. Yeah. My recordings? Or your recording? Which Andy? Mine, I think. Yeah. Did you say that Phil, something about,

or is that you, Sean? Oh, that's Sean. Oh, Sean, just my producer. Oh, he's helping. Has heard me talk about, yeah, about John Wayne Gacy, which because he was a big deal in Illinois when I was growing up. Oh, no doubt about it.

When you got, I don't know, 30 some people buried under your house. And I also, my first television, my first television appearance was in a, they used to do a reenactment show called Hard Copy. Oh yeah. And they did a John Wayne Gacy version, which they shot in Chicago.

That production coordinator on it was a friend of mine. She hired me and a bunch of, like, improv guys to be Gacy victims. And they had a Gacy lookalike who was, like, played Gacy in the thing. Chillingly Gacy-like. That guy must work all the time. Oh, my God.

Birthday parties. In and must work all the time. Oh my God. Birthday parties. Yes. Clown, in and out of the clown stuff. Here's a fun fact, the judge who married me and my wife was John Wayne Gacy's defense attorney. Really? Yes.

That's nice, did he tell you that right after you said I do? No, Kevin Dorff told me that. He recognized him. Hey, I know that guy. I know that guy. I know that guy. Um, well, so, and I mean, and I was the victim of the rope trick, which is, which, in the thing, which was one of Gacy's,

he would lure young men back to his house and say, I got some magic tricks. One of them, I got this rope trick, which would basically just involve strangling somebody. Oh, Lord. Um, but when the show aired, we all met up at some bar in the end, because it was a syndicated show that was on in the afternoon. We met up in the city to watch the episode.

And one of the cops that had arrested Gacy was there, you know, like still bathing in the spotlight. And he said to me, hey, you want to see something? And he opened his wallet and he pulled out John Wayne Gacy's AmEx card, his platinum AmEx that he was carrying around with him. He was like, here you go. Wow. How about that, huh?

And I was just kind of like, that seems inappropriate. Yeah. What does it seem like, here you go. Wow. How about that, huh? And I was just kinda like, that seems inappropriate. Yeah. It doesn't seem like, you know. And bias around on John Wayne Gazing. Yeah, I know. I get that part, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Can I get a jet ski with that?

All right, well, Phil, thank you. We're out of time. We went over too. Yikes. So, but thank you so much. I appreciate you guys. No problem, thank you. I wish I knew something more gruesome that I, you know,

that came to mind. Now it's, I'm gonna think of something so great in like 10 minutes and then, you know, it'll be too late. Oh, oh well. I'll save it. Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh well. I'll put it on Blue Sky or something, all right.

All right, thanks Phil. All right or something. All right. All right. Thanks, Phil. All right. Yeah, you bet. Take care, guys. Bye-bye. All right, Andy, we usually pick a favorite caller. Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah. Gee whiz. I kind of really liked Mike's Appalachian Trail bear story. I mean, and it was sort of very fitting. Oh, yeah. Mike's Appalachian Trail bear story. I mean, and it was sort of very fitting. Oh yeah. With the bear, you know, and then, you know, the bear and the adolescent.

Yes, I liked that a lot too. I liked your story about the moose. Oh, thank you. You know, your bicycle story. That was, I was very thrilled. I have a soft spot for Olivia's story of the email, even though it was a wild card because, oh, sorry. That's all. Don't be sorry.

Don't be sorry. I definitely did. What I like about that is that it is inexplicable. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? When kids do things that... that they could never tell you why. Oh, I... I still have things I remember that I did where I was like, what the fuck? Why did I do that?

Yeah, and nobody asking you, like, what... Let's talk about that. Why did I do that? Yeah, and nobody asking you like, let's talk about that. Why did you do that? Why did you feel the need to, there's no answer. No idea. It's just a strange misfire of the brain. Yeah. I love it. All right, well, Olivia, Mike, congratulations.

You win absolutely nothing but our admiration. All right, well, so check out Andy's podcast, the Andy Daly Podcast Project and Bananas for Bananza on Patreon. Patreon.com slash Andy Daly. Slash Andy Daly. And thank you Andy for coming out. Thank you. Always a joy to be around you.
