Co-to-no, bro. Co-na-o. Do you go ahead and say it? 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, it's a sponsorship thing or something.

They 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. It's, yes. I'm a expert on generic 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? Yeah, yeah. It's the Andy Richter-Callon show. And Andy Daley's here. Hi. He's very unnerved by his label-less water.

Deeply so. And I'm getting one, too, because I left, I have one of those big stupid girl cups, you know, those sippy cups that the ladies have that they accessorized with jewelry and things. Oh, yeah? And I left it in the car. Have you been jeweled yours at all? I have not. Oh.

No. I've just be buggered it. What? No, 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, it's 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 openness of your schedule. 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, 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? Oh, absolutely. All the time. Oh, boy. Yeah. Anyway, folks, nature encounters. That's what we're talking about today. Nature encounters.

Give us a call at 855-266-2-404, 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. Yeah.

They really truly are. Yeah, you don't want to. People, you know, like we'll have topics of things like dating disasters or bad bosses and people be like, why don't you have stories about good bosses? And it's like, because who wants to hear that? Yeah. My boss was kind and thoughtful. Like, who tells that story?

Yeah, 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.

thing. That was 100% landlords writing in 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

Veepe. You were in Veepe? Yeah. In the last season of VEP. Wow. I didn't see the last season. Well, that's why you're surprised that I was on it. Yeah, yeah. You were in the office? That was 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. Wow. The guy from the box of Quaker Outs. And you can also find the Andy Daily podcast project and bananas for Bonanza at Comedy Bang Bang World.com. That's not true anymore. Oh,

your information is old. Oh, oh, boy, Sean. That's what I get for hiring the Irish. Well, where it? Where is your stuff? Now it's at patreon.com slash Andy Daily. Okay.

There you go, folks. 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 ghostland 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. Right. I don't know.

Look, I don't know. 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 Mountainhead.

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, uh, billionaires at the end of the earth or the end of the world. I read, uh, 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 Swartzman. We had so much fun. We improvised so much. And when I left, I did. 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 going to do this much improvising and alt lines for 32 days,

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. like two months of shooting and just all kinds of. In Atlanta, was it? No, in Charlotte, North Carolina. And then like when I saw the movie, 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

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 going to 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? I was invited to the premiere, but it was in New York and they weren't going to fly me there or anything like that. And I don't want to go.

I don't want to 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? Yeah, yeah. 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. That's classy British stuff there. Yeah. Well, let's see. We're talking about nature stuff. Have you ever any handy? I was trying to think about for my, you know,

we've got to come up with different topics for this show. And this was, you know, what we thought of for this week. And I was trying to think like, I don't really, I never had any sort of like real bad brushes with. Other than I lived in a farming area. Yes. 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. 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 at like a really big moose. Yeah, they're huge antlers. Yeah. 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. It's like what? 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. Yeah, exactly. Oh, man, people would, what a riot. That Andy Daley, he's hilarious. Yeah, a life bit, you know what I mean? That kind of thing.

Of course. Very Andy Kaufman. Of course. People will talk for years about the time Andy Daley showed up with a moose calf. Oh, yeah. Left it in his trailer, shit all over the place. Can I say S words and things like that? Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's a satellite radio. Hmm. It's, 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, you know, 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 855-266-2-4. 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 grown-up radio show. I'm bewildered. I know, I know. It's the sort of thing that's... doesn't happen. It doesn't happen this on a podcast. Hell no. Yeah, over at Comedy Bang Bang World. They're not taking calls. Patrione. 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. On my note, it says are you calling us from the Appalachian Trail? I am in town of Starbucks. The trail actually goes to the town of Hanover where Dartmouth is. Okay. I'm basically on. Yeah. Oh, nice. Cool.

And yeah, and I started in Georgia and about 7,800 miles in and I'm going to 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 back country. This hike's been pretty tame with the wildlife encounters. It's been hard of 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 Tramily. And 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. And she, yeah, yeah, especially let me go out and do this, have this adventure. We've gone on some bikes together, of course, too. But, yeah, this one's a solo, a trek. 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 broached this, she's like, I've been together 10 years on board 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.

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. I was 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 friends, 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 a gay couple, by the way. You didn't have to say what a folks. 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 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 we're and she had gone she was like part of the black and decker family really yeah she was a she was an heiress of some black or a dicker I don't know I don't know that

all right but yeah it was very strange it was very strange and then like like reporters would sort of show up and we'd be like, no, they're not here. I'm like, all right, okay. Have some casserole. Yeah, you want casserole? USA today.

Yeah. Oh, well, wait, it says here that you have a bear encounter you were going to tell us about. I'm hiking the 18 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 that, like, moose have brought across my path with the arm's reach, my foot spitz and a few inches of a rattle. snakes that luckily didn't strike.

Oh, bear run past my tent, being close to mountain lines. But the people, the story of those people gravitated 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

near the lake shore and we were setting it up at right dust as a turn of the night and my wife's headland just malfunctioned, just died it didn't run out of batteries he didn't drop it, it just died

and right before we 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 clubs.

So I've had a bear encounter before, and usually you stop and yell and they run away, and I did that, and they just didn't move. And the mom's eyes are like squinty, 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 had to be at the angle that my head lamp was, this was on my head, to see their eyes.

Are you outside of the tent? Are you guys just out in the... Yes, we're sorry. We're out. We were just about to get into the tent. I see who didn't go soon knows how this will play it out otherwise. But she didn't see him.

So she started stomping towards them, started taking steps towards them and yelling and one of the adolescents lost its nerve and ran off. And I was like, okay, this is serious. So I went up to her and I was like, all right, you know, I want to grab the back of your belt. You're going to lead us out. I want to 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, you know, we're kind of like boxed in at the lake and these trees. Like, all right, I don't know how this will play out. And then they just seemed to leave us be. So we got to our car.

And I'm not sure I mentioned the squirrel, but we were entirely sobered for all this. Okay. You know, definitely happened. But, you know, I couldn't just drive away safely. And my nerves were rattled. So we got to the car to sleep. And then about 40 yards away, they were pulling on bearproof trash cans all night mom and we were just hoping they didn't come find us in the car.

Luckily, by Don's Light, they were 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 can only see their eyes. That would have been the southernmost range for grizzly bear, but our friend who majored in zoology says it was likely black bear because we are near a water source.

They tend to get a little more temperamental there. and something else I forgot to mention is that lake serves Laramie, Wyoming, because out there it's very dry. That was like the only large body of water for many, many miles. Oh, wow. So, of course, animals are on gravitate towards that we put ourselves at needless risk. 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. Try to save our weight, try to save my knees.

I don't go from my front door to my car without bear spray, and I live in an urban setting. Right. Never seen a bear anywhere around. I know. 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. And, you know. And I don't know. You know, I know every ounce counts, but maybe bring a gun, you know. Like, I'm not like a big pro-gun. I'm not a big pro-gun person, but I think if I was going to be doing what you're doing.

Yeah. I would want at least a 22, you know. Yeah, some sticks of dynamite maybe. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Or a really scary mask to slip on. Oh, yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.

Mm-hmm. Ooh. All right, Mike. 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 completely sober.

Yeah, but then he said they couldn't drive home. I think he said they were not completely sober. I think he said because 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 have, we've got, uh, there's, uh,

I think we've got the ten deadliest snakes. Wow. Wow. Somebody sounds proud. Yeah. All you got to 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. Yeah, yeah. The cockatoo's galas, a pack of glass, you might have seen, big pink guys. Yeah, yeah, that's what it was. They were pink, but they kind of looked like cockatoos.

I've heard a lot about your cane toad problem. Oh, yes, that's in Queensland. A pest, bought in pest. Yeah, yeah. But that's not what my story's about. My story is about me being a pest in when me and my buddy were in San Sebastian Spain on a backpacking trip. Yep. Checking out some makes are over there.

and so we were staying in this weird bed sit place where in Spain for some reason when the crazy Australian backpackers show up if there's no accommodation they let you stay at old lady's houses but the thing that happens 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 we're a bunch of We're here to sleep in your house Exactly And so we had a bunch of swedes hanging there too Oh my God And we were having We had dinner one night

My buddy cooked A spaghetti bowlinise 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 But we were going out Party in in San Sebastian Which means lots of Angria 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 the water is drained out.

And it's just an absolute nightmare. Spaghetti, bolognese food, bits of spaghetti, just all through the sink on 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 has already gone to bed and he wakes me up for any sense. By the way, don't do the dishes. I just had the worst puke, puke in there when I stay home. Oh, dear. 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 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. But it did a chance, but also, you know, it was mostly spaghetti pollinate vomit and spaghetti voluminate. 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. It's practically vomit to begin with. Right, exactly. It's predigested. Yeah, yeah. 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. Hmm. That's what it was. Yep. All right. Wow. Well, 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. Yeah. If you're going to 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.

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 there with a mate and we went up we 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,

and he said like, that park ranger came up and it was like, what are you doing? This place is full of rattlesnakes. We didn't, now we thought you 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. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's not how we do it here at all. You just, no, I once was driving, I did a road. trip across America.

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. My friend was next to me. I was like, I was like, my car, sit face down.

You know, what's going on? I went, don't shut up. Do not get a good look at those guys. Well, welcome to America. My name's Tony Montana. All right, David. Well, thanks for calling. Thank you, Jews.

All right. 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 dressed first, but it doesn't matter. I have a feeling.

addressing Andy first. Right. See, we both get top billing this way. Tell us about your story, your brush with nature. Yes, I'm going to talk about the weather. Are you all familiar with the term wintery mix?

Yes. I am not. It's like snow and rain. Oh, 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

wintry mix. Oh. Makes it sound like a salad. Yeah. Yeah, it really is really kind of, it's, like, bullshit because it's, like, covering all of your bases. Right. But you can, come on, you can't expect them to know,

like what's going to come out of the sky. It's going to 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 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. Yeah, yeah. 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 city, 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's still fine in the counties, except that it wasn't. But you don't need to tell them that. That'll teach them for living outside of town. Yeah. 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, this 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, don't drink the water. And they're all violently vomiting and diarrhea eating.

Yeah. So that, 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. Oh, my goodness. That's crazy. That's pretty resourceful, though, the snow, boiling the snow for the toilet. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. I would have... Because 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. Yeah. So that was, you know, on the one side, it was... It was good that we had access to liquid. Because really the toilet was a big concern in my household. Yes. It would be flushed.

Right. 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 shit 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? Well, you know, in case of such a eventuality happening? I mean, you're already under it again. Well, yeah. Now, well, we started. It's interesting now when you're thinking about it from going to the grocery store. and a couple months ago, they had like the two and a half gallon plastic containers.

And I bought, 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. Yeah. And it wasn't. It wasn't. It's changed the way, 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 put that, 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, you know, the big jugs. a 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. Mm-hmm. That's fair. Yeah. So anyway, Monica, we back up, you know, get that,

get that water supply. Stock up. Yeah. And stock up on that wintry mix. Yeah. Jingle jangle. That's what I think of. Yeah.

Yeah, that's like, that's like a way. I mean, you can't predict the weather, but that's, we've had that wintry 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 got. like a quarter of an inch of mist. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So wintering mix, you know. Winters 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, on the meteorologists. Yeah. You know. Yeah, schools close. 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 have. Yeah, yeah. Snow.

Yes. Yeah. You know, snow is, yeah, I mean, growing up in Illinois, snow days, they were fun. Oh, the best. They were fun, yeah. All right. Well, Monica, thank you so much. Thanks, Andy.

Thanks, Andy. Have a great day. You too. Bye. 855-266-2.4. That's the number here at the Andy Richter Collins show with Andy Daily. It's Andy. Hi.

Hi. Yeah. We've got Olivia from Brazil. Sorry, Brazil, Indiana. Oh, Brazil, Indiana. And she has, this is, 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. Oh, okay, all right. But, yeah, but it's, 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 never heard of Brazil. Yeah. The disappointment in your voice whenever it was, oh, a Brazil, Indiana. You have to be used to that. You have to. Yeah. When you say, I'm from Brazil and people go, oh, Samba, A. 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. Well, tell us your story. Your wild card story. So I actually have ADHD and I'm bad at telling stories in like an organized way. So it feels appropriate to have a wildcard asterisk.

Um Yes. Okay. All right. 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 neurotypical in every way, so I'll keep you on track. He's a sick as fuck. So let's put the 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. 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 grown up to walk back. I see. Right. 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, pay-through-eight 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 they're 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 keep saying an ignorance. I don't remember. I'm not saying I couldn't have, but I don't remember it.

Uh-huh. Yeah. And then she pointed out of the word your was misdemeanor. And there was like an apostrophe missing somewhere else. And she's like, I don't think your older sister did it. And your younger sister is baby. Right. So I'm definitely giving a bad named and 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. Yeah. 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. You're denying Christ. Right. You're practically hanging them 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. 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 chore 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. It went September 11th, anthrax, and then your email were like the three big things going on at that time. I was her 13th reasons. Yeah.

But, hey, my mom never left her email signed in ever. again. 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 up. We got Jim from Baltimore. All right. What's up, Andy? Hey, Jim. Hey, what's up? 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 naturiest of nature. Under the sea.

Yeah. And fittingly, today is the 115th anniversary of the birth of Jacques Cousteau. Wow. Wow. So, you know, a voyage under the sea seems appropriate. Right, exactly. I called with two. 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. Sure. On New Year's Eve, Party town.

Yeah. Yeah. But on that, on that faithful day of New Year's Eve, we went out on a vessel. And I love to scuba dive. My bride loves to snorkel. So she's out there snorkeling, and I'm scuba diving. And I'm not at the time a very accomplished scuba diver. Sure.

But we go down. It's about 40 feet, right? And the way they describe it, and 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. Sure. Like and explore the reef. Right.

Like you're drawing a grade school turkey. Exactly. Yeah. A 20 feathered turkey. Yes. Yeah. More realistic. By the way, see, I have to say this to Mr. Daly.

I have always felt like a kindred spirit with you. Oh. Because I, too, long to be part of Shanaana. Oh, yeah. And, yeah, I've considered getting Bowser's face tattooed over my own. That's going a little far. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

I feel like I could sneak on stage that way. Oh, I see. Yeah. Anyway. So we descended into the briny deep about 40 feet. Me and my dive buddy, who I had just met on the vessel. Yeah. 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. Right. But they're very shark-shaped sharks. Sure. You know, they're not, like, a bubbly thing. Are they, like, the black-tipped, is it 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 Ramora fish, you know, those sucker fish. Yeah. Like stuck on his head those like,

gong, gung, gung, yum fish. And so I knew it was him. Anyway, me and my dive buddy, we're like two and a half, three feet apart. And a guy from another dive boat that I I don't know who he was. I will never see again as far as I 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 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 arched their backs. So they're almost like you-shaped sharks and they pointed their pectoral fins straight down.

And instead of just swimming gracefully, they're like scooting about, like, I'm going to bite the shit out of you. Yeah, yeah. And then that guy, this guy I do not know, jets, 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 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. Yeah. Surprise. He's there every day. He knows what the divers do. He's like, these dickheads are going to be over there in a moment. Yeah.

So we had, you know, we'd 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 that 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 carniv fish, 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 turdict. ducking. She's, yeah, she's a two-fer. Yeah, she's a free meal inside of a meal. Yeah. Like, 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. Yeah. But we get back to the boat, right? And there's a, I don't know what's a proper term. I call him a shorebilly, like a Florida kid working on the boat, like 19 or whatever, live as the day is long. He, they're under the boat is a Goliath grouper, you know, about the size of a sofa. Yeah, 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 air. swims 45 feet down to the bottom, comes back up, and tickles the fish under its belly. Like tickled it. And a Goliath grouper will do a thing called booming. Those would they make this rump. Yeah, yeah. Like a click 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 down shifts 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

and 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. Right. But that was that, you know, that was it. That was my little scuba diving.

Why didn't you just, I mean, 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.

Yeah, yeah. I felt like, you know, and dude, I wanted to be Jacques Cousteau since I was three years old. Right. And I've 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 Jacques Cousteau. Wow. See, now there you're, you would have been fine. Because when the shirt, you could get it away faster than the old man. You only got to be faster than your dive button.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. You had two seconds more. Last year I was in Costa Rica, which is beautiful. And I was on this 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 plane, 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, in and out 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 whale eats?

Yeah, yeah. Like the little tiny shrimps, the whales eat. Yeah, a cloud of them. It was just this swarm, yeah, is what it's called. There's a swarm of billions of krill stretching into the distance in either direction. And I'm old to have bifocal scuba 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 realize that I can see the shape of the water. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like the, yeah, it's the most, yeah, Andy, please, if you ever get a chance, go again. All right.

A magical place. I will. I will. Thank you so much. All right. Yeah. Wow. Thank you, Jim.

All right. We got time for one more. Okay. Or wait. Oh, we, okay. I just got a note. We got two more. Okay.

Bruce from Chicago. Are you there? Hey, Andy and Andy. How are you guys doing? Good. How are you? Hello? Yeah, yeah.

Good, good, good. Hey, 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 L.A. And as I was riding through Oklahoma, there was a storm going on. and I saw some flying toward me. Was it a cow? Well, not quite big as a cow. It was like the size of a football.

But 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, like, you know, I went to the next accident and stop at the gas station. and I still had a lot of, like, parts of the tumbleweed stuck on my, on my leg and kind of, just, like, scratching through my jeans. And it was really just, like, a ball of, like, branches and twigs. Yeah, they're, like prickers.

And it has prickers. 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, some miles an hour. So when that thing hit me, it really, like, kind of push 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, we're both. Yeah, exactly.

All right. And it would, yeah, it was flying through the air. All right, well, Bruce, I'm glad you made it. Mm-hmm. Thanks. All right. Thanks for the call. All right.

Now our last call, it's not so much a story as I guess it's a question and it's a wild card question. A wild card 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 wild card 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 scatology. So I figured why not ask you, what's the darkest fact that you know? Oh, wow. Isn't scatology having to do with poo? Yeah, that's poop.

Yeah, yeah. Okay. Did you admit to being a scatologist on the Conan? 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? Although I do, 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. 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 the you know the Kennedy assassination or the 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 No. Maybe you can make a 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 is very infuriatingly nice. It's just a sweet heart. And somebody told me a story about him that there was a story in the news about someone, a man who had killed his entire family. And Brian Stagg said, with all this enthusiasm, he goes, oh, yes, those are called family obliterators.

and it's more common than you think. Oh, yes, yes. Oh, there's a term for that. And he knows it. Gosh, well, I mean, 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.

And it's, 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. The bear just like sat down and just like, I'm going to 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 remember, 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. And that was, 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. So yeah, I mean, there's something that's kind of dark. I mean, to have that in my mind. Oh, oh, wait. It says something here. I've somehow heard heard more about John Wayne Gacy from Andy's recordings than anywhere else.

Oh, interesting. My recordings or your recording, which Andy? Mine, I think. Yeah. Did you say that, Phil? Something about, or is that you, or is that you, Sean? Oh, that's Sean. Oh, Sean just.

My producer 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 appearance was in a, they used to do a reenactment show called Hard Copy. Oh, yeah. And they did a John Wayne Gasey. version which they shot in Chicago that production

coordinator on it was a friend of mine she hired me and a bunch of improv guys to be gasey victims and they had a gasey lookalike who was who was like played gasey and the thing chillingly

gasey like that guy must work all the time. Oh my god. Birthday parties. In and out of the clowns 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. 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. But when the show aired, we all met up at some bar 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 told, 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. Weird. His platinum amex that he was carrying around with him. He was like, he was like, there you go. Wow. How about that?

And I was just kind of like, that seems inappropriate. Yeah. That doesn't seem like, you know. And buy us around on John Wayne Gasey. Yeah, exactly. Can I get a jet ski with that? All right. Well, Phil, thank you.

We're out of time. We went over to. So, but thank you so much. I appreciate you guys. No problem. Thank you. I wish I, I wish I knew something more gruesome that I, you know, that came to mind. Now it's, I'm going to, I'm going to 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. Yeah, yeah. Oh, well. I'll put it on blue sky or something. All right. Yeah, there you go. 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 the 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 adolescents. Yes, I like that a lot, too. I liked your story about the moose. Oh, thank you. You know, your bicycle story. That was very thrilling.

I have a soft spot for Olivia's. story of the email, even though it was a wild card, because, oh, sorry. Don't be sorry. Don't be sorry. I definitely did. What I like about that is that it is inexplicable. You know what I mean? When kids do things that they could never tell you why.

Oh, 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, 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 Daily podcast project and bananas for bonanza.

Patreon. Patreon.com slash Andy Daily. And thank you, Andy, for coming out. Always a joy to be around you. Likewise. And thank all of you for listening to the Andy Richter-Callelts show. I'll be back next week. You should now stick around, though, because Lori Kilmartin, stand-up on Conan is next.

And, you know... She's the best. She's the best. Bye.
