Jazzy.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ta-ta-ta-ta-tile the phone.
Call-in to the end, Victor.
Call-in show on Conan Radio.
Oh, man, now I got to submit that to ASCAP.
You got a co-writing credit.
Oh, thanks.
Yes, you are listening to the Andy Richter Call-N-Show as our new theme song just announced here on Conan O'Brien Radio.
I'm your host, Andy Richter, and I am here with, you know her from jury duty, comedy bang-bang, glamorous on Netflix with Kim Cottrell.
And History of the World Part 2, and you can see her soon in Interior Chinatown on Hulu and the upcoming animated series Golden Axe, based on the popular.
Sega video game, I'm frankly furious at how much she's been working.
Lisa Gilroy.
Hello.
Hi there.
Zuba Zatat Zatat do.
Yeah.
What's up, Jazz Heads 104.9?
We both have tiny mustaches and we're smoking galas.
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm amazing.
I'm really happy to be here with my best friend on the Jazz Station.
On the Jazz Station.
Well, we are talking travel nightmares today.
That's what we're going to be taking calls from.
And I know you're, I don't know, can I tell people that you're Canadian?
Of course.
Okay.
All right.
I just don't know how much shame is involved with not being American.
No, I don't know either.
You're telling me, I don't know how I'm perceived to you guys.
Sometimes I feel like I tell people I'm Canadian and they go like, oh, that's so awesome.
I wish I was Canadian, but it's kind of the same way an adult is like, you're in kindergarten.
That sounds so fun.
I wish I was in kindergarten.
Yeah. So you still get to go poo-poo in your pants. That's good.
What a big girl. Wow.
No, I think, I mean, I just, I think it's, I just, I just love, like, saying things like, like, I, I tweeted once, you know, that song, Brian Adams song, Summer of 69.
Oh, yeah.
People won't tell you, but all of those things took place in Canada.
Like the purchasing of the first real six thing?
Yeah, yeah. That was in Canada.
At the five and tunny?
At the five in Looney.
Yeah, no, I mean, I just think it's funny because it's kind of like...
Because Canada's so cute to you.
Well, no, I just, it's funny because it's just like to be nationalistic and be like angry at Canada.
It's like being angry at Wisconsin.
Right.
You know, so it's just, I think it's kind of funny.
But no, you must have, you must be on a plane a lot.
I have been this summer, yeah.
Yeah.
And I mean, but, I mean, going back home to Canada and stuff.
I mean, do you have any good, like?
I've been really, like, I don't have any, like, travel nightmares.
Yeah.
Many.
The only one I can, the only one I can really think of it happened a long time ago.
Oh, okay.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
I was the first woman in space.
And they gave me a hundred tampons.
A hundred tampons.
A hundred tampons.
They insisted I put them all in it once.
What the hell?
Holy moly.
Luckily, it worked.
Yeah.
Loaded up my machine gun and I was ready to roll.
Pow, pow, pow.
No, okay, the only bad travel thing that's happened to me, sorry I'm blessed, was a long time ago.
I was like 19 years old and I was teaching English in China and me and a couple of the other teachers who are all men when there's just no other like girls teaching my school.
I don't know.
So the friends that I made were like Americans and Australians and we went to take the seven-hour train right to like a neighboring beach town.
That's where we wanted to have a little weekend vacation.
And so we arrived at like 10 p.m. and we got to the hotel and I didn't have my passport.
and so they thought I was a sex worker
and they wouldn't let me stay there.
Can you believe it?
The highest honor?
Really?
Yeah, I was like, me?
For real?
And they were like, yeah, you, girlie?
You're going to take those guys upstairs
for a big birthday party, huh?
And I was like, no, I'm not, stop!
But they wouldn't want to stay there.
First, it was funny.
And then we went to another hotel, and it happened again,
and then we went to another hotel and it happened again,
and then it became clear that they weren't going to let us stay anywhere.
And so my friends were nice enough to get back on the train
and take the seven-hour train ride.
Wow.
How many guys?
It was like me and three guys.
We weren't all going to even stay in the same room.
I mean, but they just wouldn't let me be there without my passport.
That's so crazy.
Oh, because you didn't have your passport.
But I thought, I mean, I'm just in a town nearby.
I don't know.
Is that stupid?
Probably.
I was 19.
I don't know.
You know.
You don't even have a passport.
Well, there's, I do.
I wrote it myself in crayon.
Because government won't let you have the real deal with the picture and everything, right?
They won't.
Because I got crimes.
I know.
So many crimes.
Because you could also make the case.
Like, no, it's better to leave your.
passport in a safe place while traveling domestically so no I don't think it's that bad thanks but um but
you know I don't know maybe maybe you missed your chance what to blow four guys at once no to just be a
sex worker in China it's like opportunity opening up to you right there wasn't an opportunity wouldn't
even let me stay at the hotel where is a sex worker supposed to do her sex work in China's true
this is kind of unfair I bet they if you had asked them like where does a sex worker stay then
they would have told you like a shitty hotel.
Right, and we could have gone there.
And you could have gone there.
Oh, that would be a really interesting thing to say off the heels of an hour of saying I'm not a sex worker.
Okay, fine.
What are the sex workers say?
For the sake of argument.
If I was one, where could I rest my weary head?
All right.
If you want to be on the Andy Richter call-in show, you can always give us a call.
That's kind of how it works.
At 855-26-2-604, or you can fill out the Google form that's in my bio-things things and all of that.
So we're going to go to the phones now
We're talking travel nightmares
But we'll also, you know, take advice too
If you got advice, you know, on how to avoid nightmares
But really the nightmares are really
We want the nightmares
I won't be taking the advice
But you can take it any
I made this show to be fun
But it's like if it's going to be fun
It means all the stories have to be negative
Horrible things that happened to you
Because what is it like
I had a beautiful trip to Greece
Shut the hell up
I got engaged to a bar
tender there um all right here we go sam hello sam hey you're calling i'm good you're calling from

thank you for having me on you got andy you got lisa and uh andy lisa it's such a pleasure
I'm I I it's this is such a shame like I feel like I should have hung up because Lisa was telling her her horror story about China and like mine happens in China but there's like zero sex work I didn't get assumed to be like so I just should I just hang up now that's okay Matt that's okay again you can you can lie I don't I don't you know this is not court you're not you're not under oath so you can make shit up I don't care oh oh go ahead tell us I think there's a yeah okay so it's uh December 12
2019, my wife is like under, just under a month pregnant, and we decided to travel Southeast Asia.
We go to Lao, Vietnam, and Thailand.
And the last bit of it, we go from Thailand to China, which was our connection to get back to Los Angeles.
Prior to leaving, my wife, who's very smart, smarter than I am, which isn't saying much,
but she says, Matt, your U.S. passport is like five and a half months from expiring.
And like, I don't know if people know this, but you want to be six months at least if you do international travel.
But I'm like, oh, don't worry about it.
I've got dual citizenship.
My dad is from England.
So, like, we all have UK passport.
So I'm like, I'll just bring my UK passport.
No problem.
I didn't bring my U.S. one with me.
So, yeah, right?
So we go about our thing.
We travel.
And then our last bit lands us at a smaller airport in China.
Now, it's not like, it's not tiny.
It's not just like prop planes, but like, there are definitely fewer people speaking English at this airport than there would be in like, say, like, Beijing or something.
So first they come and they're like, oh, we lost your bag.
And I'm like, oh, man, like I thought that was like, this was where the story ended.
It's like, oh, this is great.
And it's like Christmas time.
So I'm like, Merry Christmas to me.
They bring us to like a room.
It's like a cemetery of bag.
They're like, is it in here?
I'm like, nope.
So fast forward a bit.
And we're going to check in for our flight.
and the agent says,
all right, let me see your passport.
So my wife hands her passport over.
I hand mine over and they're like,
all right, where's your U.S. passport?
And I'm like, oh, I don't have, like, I'm,
and I explained and she's like, well, you can't fly back to home
like without you, like you can't do this.
And I'm like, so immediately I'm panicked, you know,
like my wife is like, we've got to figure this out.
So she basically said you can get a temporary visa, like a year.
They call it ETA.
I think it's like,
like a temporary European visa,
but I'd have to apply for it online, like on the spot
and hope that it comes through quickly.
She said it might take a couple of days.
My pregnant wife looks at me and goes,
like the only option at this point seems to be she gets on the plane.
I apply for this temporary visa that hopefully comes through
the next day or two.
I stay at the airport hotel and then just catch the next flight,
which was like two and a half days later,
the same flight, like on the Saturday.
It was like Wednesday at this point.
and i was like all right we'll just do that and she's like all right so my wife like empties
her pocket of all over money she's like take whatever cash you need oh and by the way like
trying to apply for the visa was especially hard for us because we have google phones and google
basically does not work in china like you can't use google search engine you can't use gmail
you're just fucking up left and right jesus christ matt oh but it gets so it gets so much worse
so she's like all right like so as like kiss you was like all right so we managed to
through her Yahoo account she had like an old Yahoo account she's like all right I'll fill out the form at the hotel like on their computer and then when it comes through I'll forward you this temporary visa I'm like all right great she gets on the plane and literally as the plane is about to take off I get the email she's like it came through and like oh but like just too late right so now I have this temporary visa my wife is taking off and I'm like well time to go check into the hotel and the hotel is like this doesn't work like you can't you can't do this like you can't do this like you can't
Can't like, where's your, where's your, either, you know, Japanese, a Chinese passport or where is your visa that extends beyond the temporary visa that allows me to be in the airport in the first place?
Wait, Matt, I'm so good.
Can I ask a question?
How come you can't fly from China to America with a British passport?
Like a British person could be in China and fly to America, right?
They just hate your guts or what?
Maybe, but they were telling me that I couldn't do it because I didn't, that it was the final destination.
And they said that I couldn't do it.
Oh, because you only have a one-way ticket to America, so you would seem like some sort of stowaway or something.
Oh.
Exactly, exactly.
So they would not let me, they would not let me get on the plane.
It seems like it would have been faster for you to book a round-trip ticket, like, just buy another flight out of the States and say, I'm coming right back.
And just never fly back.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, hey, I'm kind of an airplane doctor, so.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I see, that's not really what Matt does.
Yeah, Matt wants to go buy the book.
Matt fucks up.
Matt's like, according to my research, I'd like to speak to the government and go down the correct vessels.
According to my brand.
Okay, sorry, Matt.
Yeah, go ahead.
So tell us about your misery.
So I try booking a room at the hotel and they say, well, you don't have a Chinese passport and you don't have a visa that extends beyond midnight.
You may not book a flight.
Wow.
What if I was a sex worker?
Right.
Uh, so I could not, I could not fly home and I could not stay. I was, I was, I was, I was Tom Hanks in terminal. I, I couldn't stay and I couldn't leave. And so basically, uh, so there were no direct flights out. And now I, now I go back to the original woman who's helping me, who I might add was like, extraordinarily fed up with me by this point. Because I was just like, what else can I do. And she's like, what else can I do. And she scribbles down at some point. I took a picture of it. Because it was so insane. She goes, here's what I think you should do. And she scribbles down this idea. Go fuck yourself.
Just in mind, it's like, it just walks away.
I'm like, what if I wait?
It was like, take a bus to a train to a different airport.
I'm like, what?
Like, I don't know.
And it was like with like 20 minutes of a grace period.
Like if I missed something, if I was late, if I didn't, if I went wrong to recommend.
Then you're stuck in China with a pocket full of yuan.
Nice.
So I was like, this is crazy.
I can't do this.
And so she literally throws her hands in the air.
and goes, I'm done helping you.
I'm like, oh, my God.
So I'm in a panic.
I turn to the first person who I see that's not helping someone,
and I just say, I need to buy a ticket.
Now, I'm trying to get back to L.A.,
but I'm like, I just go, I need to buy a ticket to the United States
because now I don't care where I get.
And so she pointed to a man who was, like, at a desk.
I walked over.
I'm opening, meanwhile, I'm opening, like, Safari on my Google browser
to try to search for flights.
And I start that process, which is going ever so,
like pain, painfully.
slowly slow. And this guy is helping me through his broken English, but he gets someone on the phone
who's speaking English to me. And I just say, I need to get to Los Angeles, but really anywhere.
And so she goes, all right, I have a flight. And she started looking at the same flight that I was
looking at that flew from where I was in two hours, which was Nanjing to into Beijing
and then from Beijing to L.A. the next day. So basically, I end up booking the flight before
this guy I could do it. I was just like faster on my phone. I was like, okay. So I flew from
there to Beijing and I got through security. And what was important here was that I needed to get
past security before midnight. And I got through at 10.30 at night. And so now I'm like,
you know, now I just had to spend the next 14 hours waiting for a plane. But I did it. And I managed
to get into a lounge and slept for like 10 hours in a lounge, you know, all the while,
paranoid about, you know, still getting pulled aside.
So when I got back to L.A., I had to, like, choose.
Yeah, yeah, I did. And I got back to L.A.
And then it was like, of course, I land.
And I'm like, well, I don't have U.S. passport.
It's like, you know, U.S. citizens and visitors.
And I'm just like, well, I guess, so I went to U.S. citizens, obviously.
And I had to use my white privilege to, like, it's just crazy that they let me through.
I was here I was, like, traveling alone.
I didn't have bags.
I had, like, a backpack on.
And the guy was like, so let me get this straight.
And I'm like, can I show you credit cards?
My driver's license.
And they sort of like helped get me through.
And then the kicker was when I was like leaving and they go to like do that final stamp, you know.
The guy looked and he goes, no bags.
And I'm like, if you only knew.
And then they called me the next day.
They're like, we found your bag.
Come pick it up.
I'm like, you won't drive it to me.
I'm like, you lost it.
And they go, no, we found it.
And yeah, that's like that's kind of my story.
Like I was stranded at an airport in China.
And, you know, just be smarter than me, I guess.
Yeah, you got to bring that U.S. passport because you, I mean, that is, because you got to do, you do have to think, I will be returning to the United States and I am a U.S. citizen and they will kind of want to see that.
Right.
But it really is a great, I mean, it is the whitest of all white privilege to fall back on.
You're like, I'm American.
We don't believe you.
All right, then.
Oh, I'm British.
I'm actually more white than you could have ever imagined.
Hello, hello, hello.
I'm a bit lost
I'm holding a pipe
All right
Well Matt
Thank you so much for calling
Thank you so much guys
And you live and learn
That's all I gotta say
We're glad you got that 14 pounds of cocaine back from your lost bags
All right
Matt thanks
You are listening to the Andy Richter call-in show
I'm Andy Richter
I got Lisa Gilroy here
We're talking travel nightmares
And actually, Matt did remind me of it's not necessarily, it's a passport pain in the ass.
Okay.
Which is, I'm fairly newly married.
I moved in with my then-fiance, because my lease was up.
Before your wedding?
What the hell?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, we were fucking crazy.
Andy, what the hell?
Okay.
We're old.
Not who I thought you were, but okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, I actually checked with Jesus.
You did?
Yeah, yeah.
And he's show with it?
Mm-hmm.
I have a, he's on my WhatsApp.
Oh, no way.
And I asked and he said, yeah, it's no problem.
Oh, because for in the Bible, the legal doinking age is like, I think, 39.
Right.
He actually just sent me a wink emoji.
Oh, good.
He was like, oh, that's very cool.
Okay, go ahead.
No, but so I put all my stuff in storage.
And I, and this was like February-ish, I think.
And I knew that we had a honeymoon coming up.
And the day after I put all my stuff in storage, I went, oh, shit.
My passport is in there.
Oh, no.
It's in my desk.
And it was contents from my desk.
So I go to the storage locker and I like, it's packed.
It's fully packed.
And the passport, no doubt, is slip between the pages of one out of a thousand comic books.
Exactly.
Of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, all flash.
All the flash.
And all saran wraps.
Yes.
Oh, absolutely.
Shrink wrapped.
Shrink wrapped.
So I was like, oh, shit.
I'm just going to call it lost and get a new passport.
So I go through that process, which they're like, if you want to get that done, you know, it's three months or whatever.
I finally, like, figured out a library in Monterey Park was, like, nice enough to just, like, run through my paperwork with me.
A library and any.
I'm going to hold your hand when I say this.
You did not get a real passport.
No, I did.
I did.
No, because there's different, you know, like libraries are one of the, when you get all your paperwork together, you have to take it to somebody who is authorized to go.
It all looks good.
Right.
Yeah, but they work for the passport, whatever.
Right.
Okay.
And sometimes they're libraries, sometimes they're post offices.
And I was able to get it done at the Monterey Park Library by calling them directly.
Because every time you call it, no, two months, two months wait.
Right.
Until you pull the old I'm Andy Richter.
Right, exactly.
And then in Monterey Park, they're like, oh, yeah, we know, like, we're sure who that is.
So I send all the stuff off, and I'm waiting.
And in the meantime, I get a very lucrative job on a reality show in Australia.
And they're like, will you do this?
And, I mean, it was like, it was like save my butt kind of money, you know.
And, you know, into a new marriage, I'm like, honey, I'm going to make this much money.
Okay.
And I was like, oh, fuck, my passport.
But it's already in the mail, getting ready to come to you, right?
But not in time.
What?
It won't be there in time.
It's in flux.
So then you go back to the storage unit.
I have to go, I have to go through, I'll make it short.
I have to go through, find out, and this is, again, using some showbiz privilege, call my manager,
call different people.
They're like, we have a fixer that can handle this.
First, I go, Conan, their fixer says, yes, I have a contact in Diane Feinstein's office
who can accelerate things.
So I, they're no good.
And it's, they want like $750.
Then, then I try.
Okay, says the man who just said he was about to get the biggest paycheck in his life.
I know, I know.
Another, another, uh, fixer is like, you know, can't, tries it and can't.
to it it's getting down to the wire where i'm supposed to get on a plane like on thursday and this is
tuesday and finally my manager says here's the name of this woman call her and it's kind of odd
but call her and she can set it up and i was like okay i call this woman and she's just like
and it's a russian accent hello and i'm like hi um my managers gave me your number and she's like
oh yes i love him very much okay well
What you're going to do is you're going to go tomorrow morning to passport office, get there 6.30.
There will be a woman there.
You will be supposed to be married couple.
I'll tell you what she wears.
You find each other.
You get in line.
And then I will send you a screen grab of email that gives you permission to go in.
They come around, they want to see the email.
That's all that they want to do.
and then when you get in
they will call your name
and they just have the first three letters
of your last name, your name is Miller
or whatever, starting with M-I-L.
This can't be a list of right.
Honestly, 100% true.
And I was like, wait, wait, what, where do it?
And she's like, do the passport thing.
And I was like, and then I was like,
and I'm meeting some other woman.
She goes, yes, because there's two people on the letter
and she is another client who needs it.
And he goes, she goes, hold on one second.
I'll call you back.
She calls me back.
She says, she doesn't want to do it.
You know, she's nervous, you know.
I mean, I am woman, but sometimes women, they are so nervous.
Ask questions.
You don't need, you know, and I was really like, seriously.
And I said, what happens?
And she said, it's no big deal.
She said, if they figure out that it's a screen grab, they just send you home.
It's not going to arrest you.
And you're going to get a passport for Andy Miller.
No, no.
Because once you're through into there, you can be whoever you want.
It's not connected in any way to the process of getting into the room.
Oh, my God.
So I do exactly what she says, except without having to meet someone.
The guy comes around, there's a guard that comes around, says, show me your email.
It has your, and I have a screen grab of somebody with the last name, starting with MIL.
He goes, okay, I'm a nervous wreck.
I go through the security, get up to this podium, and he's like, what's your number and
What's your last name?
And I was like, Miller, 863.
All right, get on in.
I go in.
And then I give them all the legit information and say, I'm leaving tomorrow.
They said, it got all settled.
And they were like, come back tomorrow.
I got there.
I went back at noon and I was on a plane to Australia at 6 p.m.
With my brand new, like, still warm passport.
To shoot Australia's big jumbo splash, slammed on cannonball competition.
It was a show about celebrities at a Mars habitat in the Outback.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe.
That is like some.
It was crazy.
And I still have her name.
So anybody, if you want to know, where you can get a shortcut for a passport, I know a
Russian lady that can, who apparently has somebody on the inside sending her emails every day.
But you know what's really sad?
And guess how much it costs?
How much?
$150.
That's crazy.
$150.
Yeah, but you have bled.
on your hands because guess what the fixer had to send someone to that library and shoot that woman
in the back of the head whatever anyway next caller sam uh oh sam's back music festival sam
i'm back the band that exploded yay sam all right get it get it man what happened
can you hear me this time yes you sound gorgeous you're crystal clear excellent okay well i just
real quick i just wanted to say i hear that you're that your co-host is Canadian today yes hello i'm
Lisa. I'm from Canada. Hi, Lisa. My girlfriend's Canadian. Am I your girlfriend?
No. I don't think so. Where's she from?
Canada. Oh, God. Oh, my God. They haven't really got there yet, huh?
Some girlfriend. You know what? That is the classic for a guy that does not have a girlfriend. Where's your girlfriend's from? Canada. Canada. I swear.
All right, all right. It's sort of a two-for-one deal. But anyway, okay, so my.
My van exploded. Sorry, I didn't want to sidetrack, but, okay, my van exploded.
I'll tell this short version, and basically it started pouring rain as soon as it caught fire, and I lost everything I owned because I was like, you know, anyway, I was moving across the country to New Orleans.
So I lost everything I owned in the fire, except for in the back and this kind of comes.
Oh, okay. So it really did, like the whole thing caught fire and ruined all your stuff.
Yeah, just everything.
And what's weird is I was just, like, laughing super hard when it was happening.
That was, like, my fear response.
And so it was just, like, on the side of the road, like, cackling while, like, my van was, like, you know, like 15-foot-high flames and stuff.
So I must have looked just absolutely insane.
Right, right.
That probably was good for onlookers.
Mad, laughing.
Yeah.
Your life goes up in flames.
Definitely.
Let's just say, people weren't really stopping to help, you know.
But when, you know, the fire trucks showed up and the police showed up all that stuff, they needed a place to put.
a place to put me and to question me about, like, what had happened.
So they brought me to what I thought was the police station, but then I noticed I was just
sitting there waiting, and then there were a bunch of, like, neon shirts walking by,
and I realized I was in the minimum security prison there.
And it was, like, a super relaxed environment.
Everyone was really friendly.
Cool.
But the only thing that I had left was my guitar from the fire.
You didn't take your suitcase, my friend.
Well, it was in the back, you know.
That's where the fire started in the back?
Oh, I imagined it happened in the front.
No, it happened in the front.
But it burnt back, and only the things at the very back of the van were salvageable.
So the suitcase was in the front.
And near the front of the van.
All right.
Yeah, suitcase was right next to me, and I just panicked.
I didn't even have my phone or anything.
At least is suspicious, but I'm on board with you.
Yeah.
Yeah, and clearly a fire marshal.
But what I ended up doing is I was just, like, sitting around.
The only thing I had was my guitar, and one of the inmates came up to me and was like, hey, you should play us a song.
And I was like, I don't know.
I don't know.
I was like, oh, you should do it.
And then I did.
And they kind of gathered around and they were like, hey, that was okay.
And I was like, okay, yeah, sure.
And they were like, do you know anyone's about like prison?
And I was like, no.
And then they were like, well.
Specifically minimum security jail?
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
We can walk out whenever we want.
Yeah. I got a day pass. I hear the train of coming and I can get right on it because I can just walk out of here.
Yeah, exactly. But they were like, can you make up a song about that? And I was like kind of under a lot of pressure because I was surrounded by inmates.
And so I was like, yeah, sure. And I made up a song that I don't remember any of, but I just remember it was like the most performance experience I've had in my life.
And I like was just, I remember the word freedom was in there.
don't really sing a lot about that ever so that was kind of a stretch and anyway that was just
kind of a rough go and then I moved to New Orleans I didn't have did they just take you to the
this is Andy I know I have a high voice oh sorry no no Lisa you should go um did uh why did they
take you to the jail I mean were you under arrest for cackling as your life burned right
that's that's the thing that I still haven't quite put together I think is maybe maybe they
felt bad for me because it was like raining really really hard and I was like on the side of the
freeway which is like a bunch of burnt stuff so I think it was just like where they could put me
you know I don't think they were mad at me you know but they were like we do have to do the
paperwork blah blah blah we can't do it here because it's raining so why don't you come down
the station which happened to be all to the prison nice and then he sang your little song it's
kind of like the plot of like a Hillary Duff movie like she's on a road trip right and everyone's
like totally can you sing and then she starts seeing they're like wow you're really good
and then they sign her to a label or something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a momentarily indisposed record executive.
I had a tie as a belt.
Exactly.
All right, Sam.
Well, thanks for calling back.
We appreciate it.
Thank you, Annie.
Thanks, Lisa.
Thanks, Sam.
All righty.
Next caller, we have another Sam, and this is Sam from Portland.
And if I remember correctly, Sam is a female.
You know it.
All right.
And you had called in it an earlier episode.
Yeah, you had the story of going to a dentist in Mexico, I believe.
Ooh, Sam, tell us about it.
Mexico, that Craigslist affair with.
You got the life, man.
I don't know why.
And every time you, like, advertises yourself saying, hey, call in this week's theme.
I'm like, why do I have a story for all of your themes?
I don't know.
Because I'm secretly stalking you.
I'm just trying to, you know, set you up for your memoir.
I mean, I don't blame you.
Right.
As you know, I'm very popular.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
Shortly after that Craigslist affair, this is where the story starts for your theme this week.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Go ahead.
Let her rip.
I have a question for the vote to view.
Yes.
Have you ever, either of you've been in a situation where you were on a plane and you're about to go on a two-week
vacation free with a partner that you realize you don't want to be with anymore and accidentally
blurt out. I want to break up with you as the plane starts to go up and extend into the air.
That's actually how Andy and I met.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is.
It was the big two week free vacation, remember?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you were the one that you were like, I can't do this.
And I can't do this. I was like, no. No, I can't do this anymore.
I can't handle when people don't talk about me.
Yeah.
Lisa really likes to talk about other things.
Well, because what our publicist had tried to do is do kind of like a J-Lo, Ben Affleck thing
where we were going to try to use each other's momentum to, like, further our careers.
Right, right, right, right.
And then we found out that neither one of us are bigger enough for anyone to care.
Right, right.
So it was like zero plus zero equals zero.
Yeah.
Anyway, so anyway, so you're on a plane and you're on a plane and you break up or somebody breaks up with you as you take off.
No, I broke up with them. So we're about to take off. And I'll kind of explain the context. So I've dated this person. We've been dating for about three months. I realized I really don't like them, but I'm also, I was very young, so I didn't really know how to properly break up with people yet. And her parents at the time had just bought a business in Maine, close to Portland, Maine, funny enough. And they invited us out. And they're like, we're going to pay for everything at the same.
two-week trip, we'll do a whole thing.
And it was the week that I really wanted to break up with her, but I also have never been
to Maine, and I love free stuff.
So I was kind of the dick in the situation, and I was like, okay, we can go.
I can just last two more weeks, and this should be fine.
But it turned out she was annoying me so much on the plane as we're like, we're sitting
down, the plane is starting to go, we're about to go up into the air, and I'm just fantasizing
about the breakup, you know?
And so I accidentally blurt out.
I want to break up with you and she starts sobbing hysterically and starts to like make a scene.
And then I'm like, just kidding.
Just kidding.
I don't want to break up.
I was thinking about someone totally different and I was just like playing it out, whatever.
And she decided to believe that.
But did it put a pall over the rest of the time?
Well, the rest of the time was weird and interesting.
When we show up to her parents' place, they live in a cabin in the middle, just outside of Portland.
like deep in the woods.
And I started to learn why she is the way that she is,
which is very actually narcissistic and very into herself,
overachiever, things like that.
And I realized that she was kind of raised with that way.
Yeah, because her parents start to show their absurdities and like,
oh my God, I definitely don't want to be with this person.
So they, I remember I walk in and they greet us and they seem so nice and welcoming
and warm it.
And so I'm sitting with a family while she like,
goes out to my girlfriend at the time goes out to go get something and they're like yeah we're
so happy we wanted to meet you you treat her so well we've heard so many good things and you know
you should know that she's really special too and they all of a sudden randomly pull out a book
that was like a huge well it's actually a binder probably like like four inches thick and it turned
out to be a binder that they have been cultivating since she was born and it's like an entire
set of just everything about her that makes her perfect, including, like, her IQ tests and, like, all of her grades and just, like, high, and they placed it in, like, graphs. So they, like, made data sheets about it. It was really weird. Is she an only child? And it all kind of, no, she wasn't. Well, I guess, I guess she was an only child for him, because the original parents broke up, so it's, like, her dad and stepmom. Oh, I see. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, wow. It all sort of. It all,
to make sense. And, you know, obviously with the stress of the fact that, like,
technically broke up with her on the plane, I'm technically stuck with these crazy people for two
weeks and in a cabin. And I am just feeling the anxiety build and build. I start to develop,
like, really bad stomach pains and nothing is working. I don't, it's getting to the point
where, like, I literally can't sit up. And eventually, I just get desperate. And I'm like,
I just need to give myself an enema, I think.
Only logical conclusion.
It was the only, I was like out of my mind in pain.
And I crawl myself to the bathroom.
Are you like an animal girl?
Is this like one of your go-to bag of tricks?
Or was this like first time?
I mean, it was kind of my first time and it was recommended.
I was trying to like look online for like recommendations.
And I think someone on a forum was like, try this.
Interesting.
Interesting to be kind of your first time.
But it wasn't my first time.
So I was like, I'll give it a shot.
And so I'm like crawling to the bathroom.
And I, luckily, because my girl, I told my girlfriend, I was like, I think I need this.
And so she, like, went out and bought it and came back.
And so I'm just like trying to figure out how to like insert it.
And this whole time, they're like, hey, in about like 10 minutes, we're going to go hiking, you know, take your time.
They don't know what I'm doing.
And so I'm just kind of trying to figure it out.
And I realize that I'm too much in pain to reach my own butthole.
I can't do it.
I just can't.
I've been there.
So I, like, text my girlfriend, and I'm like, can you help me with my enema?
And she, like, comes in, and she was like, I thought you wanted to break up.
Why are we doing butt stuff now?
And I was like, okay, so you did believe me.
All right.
Well, seriously, I'm in pain.
She's like, let me think about it.
And she just sits there for, like, a few minutes.
And I'm like, seriously, can you please help?
And she's like, fine.
So it was awkward.
And we got the job done.
and for the rest of the trip, it was just weird.
And then we got back.
And that was, I mean, it's a short story.
How long after you got back did you finally really drop the hammer?
Probably like two weeks after.
Yeah, you got to give it a little time.
And drop the hammer means have that bowel movement, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That means, yeah.
Good.
Okay, well, this is a long time to wait, but I'm glad it eventually happened.
All right.
It did happen, eventually.
Well, thank you, Sam.
I hope you've become more confrontational.
I have, actually.
Thank you.
And I hope you have a great day.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
Have a good one.
All right.
You're listening to the Andy Richard Collin show.
Lisa Gilroy is here.
We're talking travel, nightmares.
Beep, beep.
Emily.
Oh, hello.
Oh, hello.
Andy and Lisa.
Hi.
Hello, Emily.
I feel like I haven't talked to you guys in forever.
It has been a long time.
but we really need to just hear about your travel nightmares
that stuff with your parents honestly we don't care
just get to the travel stuff
okay well it doesn't have to do with my parents but
it was when I was a child
okay but when I was 12 it's already off to a bad start here
I took a trip to see 10 national parks
with my fifth grade teacher
just the two of you and it was me
her and then her
sister showed up and her sister
was probably the nightmare
of the trip. Oh, no.
What a weird setup.
Yeah. How do you get to go
on a trip around the world with your teacher?
You must have been major teacher's pet.
Yeah, Lisa, you have no idea.
I was a theater kid, teacher's
pet, you know, little girl.
And your parents are okay with this?
I mean, do they know the teacher enough
to where it's like, because, you know,
even women.
can be perms.
I mean, yeah.
My mom's a teacher, so I think, like, she was very involved in school activities and things
like that, so she knew my fifth grade teacher.
And my fifth grade teacher was, like, old enough to be my grandmother.
And so it was her sister.
So she was like, oh, it's going to be fun.
It's going to be great.
And I was like, okay, I want to see National Park.
So take me with you.
And, well, so my teacher's name was June.
her sister's name was April
and then do you want to guess what the third
sister's name is? Sabrina.
May. You wish
it would be May. It was Sandy.
I said Sabrina.
I was close. You were very close.
You're like a psychic. Kind of shitty psychic, but you're
like a psychic. Thank you. Yeah.
You do the first letter.
That's all you need. But
yeah, so they hated Sandy.
But April was the only one that came on
the trip with us and we started
in Vegas and then I don't know what April had against 12 year olds but I think she was just
jealous for me encroaching on her sister's trip and like looking back I can see like if my
sister brought a random little girl to babysit I'd be like come on what the hell oh totally
was your teacher getting paid for this getting have keeping no so you you guys were just
truly gal pals this is like the sex in the city of all the states yes yes okay a may
December.
Which one were you?
Such a Charlotte, I bet.
Such a teen, pre-teen Charlotte.
Virgin loser.
Get the pearl necklace on and the little cardigan.
Yeah.
But April, like, was so much.
She used to dip my outfit.
Like, she, I bought these.
Samantha, obviously.
Yeah, obviously.
And she zipped, I used to, like, zip them off at the knee,
and I thought they were so cool.
And I kept zipping them on and off.
And she, she called, told me.
me, I was an ignoramus degenerate or something like that, and that my pants were dumb.
And I was like, oh, okay.
And then there was like one point where we had a cooler in the back, and she wanted a purple
gatorade.
And I couldn't find a purple gatorade in this cooler.
And so she ramps the brakes on the car.
She opens up the back seat, finds the purple gatorade at me.
Wait, you cut out there for a second.
She threw it at you?
Yes, she threw it at me.
Now, what does your teacher say to this, April or June or whatever her name was?
Well, June, like, June at first was just kind of like letting us duke it out for some reason.
And I was like, ma'am, I'm 12.
I don't know why you're letting us settle our differences.
Like, this is your crazy sister.
And eventually, like, there was a time where April had a meltdown in the middle of the desert.
desert. And I, like, was crying. And then June, the sister, my sixth grade teacher, made me go buy her, like, this necklace to, like, say sorry to her with my own souvenir money. And I was like, this is not fair. But I picked a really ugly necklace so that, like, she had to wear it as an apology. Um, but yeah, that, that trip, I don't really know, like, how that trip happened, honestly. But, like, I tell people all the time.
Like, I went on a trip with my 12, my fifth grade teacher when I was 12, and they're like, that's not right.
Yeah, it's very strange.
And then when you got back to elementary school for the school year, were you just like, oh, you know, learning about sequoias.
Oh, yeah, June and I saw a couple of those this summer.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I was in middle school now, so I didn't have to see June anymore.
That's probably for the best.
Did you ever see her again?
Yeah, it was like just.
It was just awkward then.
I just pretended, like, April and I were cool.
And she, afterwards, she, like, kind of reprimanded me as if I had done something wrong in the trip to make April so upset.
I was like, no, I just showed up.
I don't really know.
Yeah, that's...
I don't really know what I did.
That's what's known as abuse, an abusive relationship.
You know, just the, like, you need to apologize to that monster.
Right.
You know, it's what we've been doing my entire life.
It's how it works.
Get her a necklace.
You know, just throw a gift at it.
All right, well, Emily, thank you for calling.
I don't.
I have more questions and answers, but thank you, Emily.
Thank you, Emily.
Just for God's sakes, don't do that again.
No, I will never be 12 again and go on vacation.
Yeah.
Screw that.
All right, moving on.
We have Christian.
Hello.
Hi, Andy.
Hi, Christian.
Hi there.
I have to tell you immediately that Lisa is also the name of my dog.
He's right next to me, so she might get agitated if I keep talking.
Start saying Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa.
It's your dog's name?
Yes, exactly.
Okay, all the best bitches are present.
Reporting for duty.
It's true.
It's true.
But I do have a little story about, it's a little bit of a two-parter about
but how I kind of developed and got over a fear of flying.
Oh, good.
There's a real arc here.
Yeah.
Well, hopefully.
I mean, still working on it.
I mean, spoiler alert, Xanax.
Yeah, yeah.
But there was about 13 years ago, I was, I work in the music industry,
and I had to go to South by Southwest for,
for the conference and you're kind of just like they're all week and perpetually like every show you go to and every person you're meeting there is just like you know you're never really drunk but you're always you always have like a beer or something so just by the end of the week you're just exhausted so I was living in LA at the time and so I was I was waiting at the airport gets canceled
and I'm waiting to take a flight back home.
And, you know, waiting six hours, give or take.
Get onto the flight.
And as soon as we're boarding, the pilot says immediately,
everyone getting your seats.
We had terrible air coming over here.
It's going to be the bumpiest ride you've ever, like, experienced.
Like, everyone buckle up.
And I was like, okay, well, you know, like, I'm pretty well traveled at this point.
And I didn't really have a fear.
But he was laying it on thick.
We get in the air and starts, he comes on the mic again and it's like, okay, well, you know, like, if you need anything, take it from your, taking from the overhead bin now.
because once I put that seatbelt side on, it's not coming off, and we're like, okay, then another, you know, all right, well, like, we're not going to do any sort of beverage service.
Flight attendants, please take your seats, which is always the sign that, you know, it's going to be bad.
Especially for you because you need that, like, consistent beer in your blood at this point.
Right, right.
You've got a bust to maintain.
A little hungover.
True, true.
But you know when you hear that it's, this flight tends to get sit down that it might be a little bumpy.
But then he like comes on again and is like in 20 minutes everyone prepare like you better get ready.
And it's like wearing a denim shirt.
And at this point I'm sweating through a denim shirt.
The person next to me is like, hey, do you think we're going to be okay?
Like, what's going on?
I'm like, I don't know.
We're just like talking.
And we're just trying to calm each other down.
Next thing we know, that's on the mic again, prepare for landing in, you know, 15 minutes, zero turbulence whatsoever.
Oh, the whole flight never had a bump?
Not at all.
Not at all.
We land and we, the person I was in the middle.
the person in the aisle seat
was
had her headphones on the entire time,
takes them off,
says,
did it not sound like
she was telling us
we were going to die?
And we were like,
exactly.
That's,
it's crazy.
Wow.
But two,
three weeks later,
I'm again on a flight from,
on a flight,
but from L.A.
to Idaho,
which is notoriously kind of
rough air and oh boy there is i've looked this up there are classifications of turbulence
and this was extreme turbulence it was you drop a thousand feet in three seconds people are
screaming on the plane you know like is a thousand feet like is that an exaggeration no no no that's a
100% not that's not an exaggeration at all and also that's also not even like as much as you can drop
well I know it's not as much as you can drop honey yeah check my IMDB page no but it was literally
like an insane amount in one second and it was the type of thing where the meanwhile the pilot on
that flight was just like, all right, everyone to buckle up real quick and we'll get you on the
ground soon. And, you know, the other guy was buttering it up. Yeah, yeah. Making it seem like,
you know, and this guy was just like, all right, so just everyone buckle up and we'll be there soon.
Wow. It was not a fun experience, but it was the type of thing where people were kissing
the ground once we landed. Yeah, yeah. Now, were there people up and about when you
got when you dropped that thousand feet or ed you had a warning we got uh we got maybe a five minute
right right so so everyone i'm always jumped in i'm always worried that i'm going to be in the
bathroom when there's that like a thousand foot drop and i'm going to break my neck on the ceiling
oh that's what you worry about i worry about i worry about getting like splash with poo oh no that
i'm worried the whole contents of what's under that toilet's going to come out on no i pay for that
oh of course you i forgot not on planes but i mean it's something i paid for before
Right.
No, I just, I always have that feeling that, like, oh, if there were, because I've never been on a plane that took that really serious drop, but I'd know that it happens, you know, that people get slammed against the ceiling.
Well, the sweet spot to be, and if you're going to hit turbulence, is you want it to be bad enough that everyone's buckled up and seated and you are.
But it's not bad enough that the flight attendants aren't, because you want one of those pretty little ladies to go flying in the air and landing on your lap.
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
Wow.
Okay.
A lucky day on Christmas if that happens, okay.
Wow. Okay, I guess. That's fine. Yeah, I actually, see now, Christian, you would probably hate me because I actually find... Just period. And we do. You would hate me. Most people do. If you met him, trust me, Christian, you honestly would. Because first, there's the smell. Then, no, but I actually, when turbulence happens, I kind of enjoy it. I kind of find it... It's a bit of a roller coaster. Yeah, I find it kind of like a little bit of a thrill ride. But, you know, it's... I, and I,
And, you know, I can see that that would not be fun for people who have a fear of playing.
Have you seen the woman on TikTok who explains it?
She is a flight attendant and she has the jello and she has like a little peanut or something in it and she shakes it.
And she's like, that's what's happening with turbulence.
The peanut's not going to fall through the jello.
The pressure will keep you there.
So then you can have a bit of a laugh.
Oh, okay.
Because you're all just along for a little ride.
We're not going to die.
Now I know what I'm having for lunch.
Peanuts and jello, honey.
Panets and jello.
All right.
Well, Christian, thank you so much.
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much.
Thanks so much.
I really appreciate it.
Love the show.
Oh, thanks so much.
All right, let's move on.
Here we go.
I think we got time.
You know, maybe one more, maybe two more.
Who knows?
Sariana.
I hope I'm pronouncing that question.
Sariana.
You did.
That's amazing.
Do you have two sisters by your chance named April and June?
I don't.
I don't.
So tell us.
Oh, my gosh, this is such a thrill.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much for calling.
Tell us about your story.
about your travel problems all right well this was a few years ago uh we're a big road trip
family uh this was back in 21 so i had an 11 year old girl a 8 year old boy and a 4 year old boy at
the time and we were traveling with our seven-month-old lab and we were coming back from
wisconsin what do you people have against yourselves what like what do you hate yourselves so much
we're bludence for punishment that just sounds like like that would be stressed
to me if we had to drive to San Diego for, you know, with that, with that line up in the car.
All right. So anyway, go ahead. Yeah, we were in the Seattle, the Wisconsin and back.
Oh, my God. So much stronger stuff than I am. But anyway, God bless you. Go ahead.
Yeah, so we were, we were on away back home. You know, we'd been away from home like two plus weeks.
Everyone's really ready to be home. We were in Montana. We had just gotten a new minivan, like a hybrid
minivans brand new uh got it right before the trip and my husband's asleep i was driving we're in
montana you guys might know that you can go like 100 plus miles between gas stations in montana right so
i was getting a little desperate the tank was getting really low and i started freak out like oh my gosh
really hope we make it to a gas station in time um then i see there's a town coming up there's a gas sign
I'm like, oh, thank God, we're saved.
Pull off the road, my husband wakes up, all groggy.
Like, oh, what happened me?
I'm like, okay, we're at a gas station.
I'll get gas.
He's like, great, I'm going to take our boys over to the bathroom.
So I fill up the tank.
I'm like, whew, all right, we're made it.
We're good.
Putting the gas cap back on.
And then all of a sudden this trucker with a giant cowboy hat comes fronting over to me.
And I'm like, whoa, weird.
going on he's like did you just fill up at this at this thing you know whatever thing and I'm like
yeah yes he was like you just filled your van with diesel don't start your engine and I was like
what how did that happen because it was the red handle right you know you always the green one's
diesel the red one's regular it was the red handle because green I always remember green is for diesel
because it's good for the environment yeah and it's it's made out of vegetables that's right
No, I thought that diesel's like had a nozzle, a bigger nozzle that made it impossible.
It doesn't have like the Monster Energy Junk logo on the side or something?
Yeah.
That's what I'm thinking.
I'm like, how did I do that?
And I look up and it's like farm vehicle diesel.
So there must be something different about the nozzle that it fits.
Yeah, yeah.
So then we're just like, oh my God, what do we do?
And then this local kind of saunter's over and he's like,
you fill your van with diesel i was like yeah he's like happens all the time i'll call bob at the
garage maybe you should fucking put a different sign up there clem yeah so this uh tow truck or
whatever the garage truck comes uh they're like okay you know they get our they get our van hooked up
and then they're like okay well you know you need to like start the car but without starting the car right
but this is our first ever push button car we don't know how because you know with the key you just turn it the one click yeah
so we're like oh my god how do we do that in this car so that took a little while to figure out finally we figured
i think somebody thank god also just another savior at the gas station was like oh you just push the button
without pushing the gas pedal down we're like okay few all right that makes sense but we you know we'd only have
this car like three weeks so yeah it hadn't come up yet
And imagine it's like, you just, you touch the button, and it explodes.
My anxiety level is so high at those points.
That's what I'm thinking is about to happen.
So they tow us to the thing, and I'm like, okay, we're saved.
We're in this tiny town.
My husband, of course, at this point is livid with me, right?
He's, like, quietly, like, feeding.
He's like, why don't you take the kids and the dog to, like, walk around?
I'm going to stay here at the mechanics, and I'm like, great, good.
good plan so we leave we're walking this is like a small town in the middle nowhere
Montana there's like vultures in the trees and there's like dads and sons like parading in a
park with rifles and stuff and I was like oh my god where are we we're gonna die here and then
my husband calls me and he's like they can't get the gas out because it's a brand new car there's
like anti-cypening, you know, of technology,
because usually they would just siphon it out, like old school, right?
That's like when you take three little slurpy straws and put them in
and you give each kid a slurping opportunity, right?
That's how they could have done to save a buck or two, but they don't just swallow it.
They could, you know, spit it out.
Right, exactly.
So we're like, oh my God, what you do?
And he's like, okay, I think what we're going to do is we're calling the
Toyota dealership in Seattle to ask them what to do.
So then the next update I get is we, they have to access the gas tank from the floor
inside the van.
So they had to take out, you know, we're road tripping at the end of a road trip.
So the van is just a mess.
So he's just having to take out all the stuff, the two middle seats.
They open that up.
And then they're like, oh, there's some kind of crazy, fancy foster to this.
We can't open it.
So they had to call their Toyota dealership again.
They were like, oh, yeah, that needs this special tool to open this thing,
which, of course, these guys out in the middle nowhere don't have.
And then the next update I get is they got it open with a screwdriver.
Like, oh, thank God.
So, because we are thinking, like, this was like a Friday afternoon, too,
and we're like, oh, my God, we're going to be stuck here all weekend at best.
Like, this is so crazy.
but yeah oh my god they got all the gas out they refilled it it was like 450 bucks we were we were back on
our way so it all worked out okay but yeah it was uh it was quite the and my husband's like you're
never allowed to pump gas again which i was like well in the civilized world it's not a problem
i was kind of hoping that the story was it's fine i was kind of hoping that the story was they
served up your husband to the vultures and now you're a sister
your wife.
Plot for a war movie.
Because then you guys go on your way and then the next band comes in and someone comes over
and he's like, ma'am, you just filled your tank with the wrong fuel.
Oh my God.
That's how this town is existing.
You got to try.
You want to try our special jerky.
It's a secret recipe, wing.
And stay the night at the vulture motel.
Stay the night at the old smoke house.
All right, well, Sariana.
This turkey was from.
was from California.
All right, Sariana.
Well, thank you so much.
And just be more careful.
But honestly, it's not entirely your fault.
I know.
When they say this happens all the time,
that would be sort of an indicator
that something needed to change.
Exactly.
Yeah, you know, even just a Sharpie at eye level,
you know, Sharpie warning would be nice.
I hope you gave them up.
Thanks for taking my call, guys.
I gave him a sternly worded Yelp review.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Thanks,
Arianna.
All right, Lisa.
That's it.
We're done.
What do you?
We sort of now, we think like what's the best call?
That's where we're sort of like.
It's a big competition at the end.
Yeah, yeah.
Wait, this is the Australian reality show.
We don't give, we don't give prizes.
We don't get prizes.
Although, you know, at some point, if I think we should, I'm looking at people in the booth to say like, yeah, come on.
Send a T-shirt for the love of God.
A gift card or something.
Come on.
Give a one of Andy's.
He's got hundreds of them.
Thank you.
Well, what do you think?
What was your favorite?
Well, I can tell you what's going to stick with me for the longest is that going on a trip
with your teacher and the teacher's sister.
I still can't wrap my head around how or why it happened.
Yeah, yeah.
I just can't fathom my universe in which it's like, is the parent being like, go with the teacher
or the teacher and you or like talking throughout the year?
Like, could be fun if we hit up a big road trip this summer.
Like, how the hell?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I was partial to the go to.
China without your U.S. passport one, because that's just, like, I would have divorced him.
Uh-huh.
That would, like, just in, that's the kind of thing that, like, I can, I'm thinking of the people in
my life who would do something like that and how they're just like a perpetual source of
frustration and irritation to me.
But, okay, in his defense, though, can you see the story also going badly if he brought
both passports?
It's like, so then they figure out I've got two passports on me.
Now they pulled me aside to a separate room, like, you know?
No, I can't.
Because there's lots of people in the world have two passports.
Oh, it doesn't feel like they're going to do, they're up to no good.
To me, it kind of seems like, well, what do you need that for?
You have to no good?
No, no, there's lots of people that do that.
Like he said, his dad was from the UK, so we had a UK passport too.
Lying, but, okay.
My wife has two, she has a UK passport.
She lived there for 10 years.
I would do a background check on her.
I already did.
I already did.
You had the fixer look into it.
She quit Al-Qaeda like years ago.
Oh, okay, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, well, Lisa, what do you want people to know?
Do you want them to go see Interior Chinatown on Hulu?
Yeah, go see it.
If you can find a way to get to your TV.
Go to your TV right now and look it up.
On November 19th.
On November 19th.
That's ages away.
I know.
Oh, my God, they're going to gather dust in front of their TVs.
Okay, try to stay safe out there, guys.
Thank you so much for listening.
I'll be back next week with more of Sasa, Sasa, Sasa.
Demby-de-doo, da-de-da-da-da.
Scooby-Doo!
