I've got Mike Mitchell here from the Doe Boys podcast. And from, what was it, the birthday boys? Yeah, the birthday boys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And are you all still existing? We still exist in, you know, like, Like, you know, in the way that an old sketch group will exist. A bunch of old guys doing sketches, too.

We always talk about like, let's do something new. We always do that sort of thing of like, we got to do something new. It's been now, it's like 20 years since our first show or something. Anyway, we've got to do something new at some point. Do you guys still? No, we don't do. But Doe Boys does, right? Doe Boys does.

And so my co-host, Nick, was not in Birthday Boys, but he was in a sketch group called The Kiss from Daddy that had so many funny people in it. Neil Campbell and Paul Russ and Yvesa Anderson and a bunch of funny folks in there. And we were another, we were the sketch group that went up with them every month. Yeah. And we, three of the guys in my sketch group, they're called the sloppy boys. They tour as their own thing. Yeah. And they do like music and stuff like that.

And then I do my podcast with Nick. So we're still, and then everyone else still kind of works in, you know, entertainment in some way. There's still a compound. They're still like a weird compound of weirdos. being weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they're not work, you know, the sketch, you know how sketch ends at some point,

unless you're lucky enough to work on one of the... It, no, sketch is, like the fact, every sketch group, like kids in the hall, SCTV, like every sketch group or you guys, it's absolutely amazing that you exist in the first place and that you last more than six months. 100%. Because odds are, half of you are fucking nuts.

And two of you do all those. work and you know that was you know what I mean there were a couple guys who did do a lot of the work and I thank them very much to this day yeah I was I mean I like showing up but like there was a lot of the work stuff that I was kind of yeah but I mean I did improv and it was always kind of ship the Improv Olympic where I did it yeah yeah it was always she was always mixing the teams up yeah like I never was on like a I don't even like I don't even remember all the teams I was on and who I was on them with, you know, like, people have asked me, like, were you on a team with so-and-so? And I'm like, eh, sounds right, you know, I don't know,

we're sure. I mean, it just kept changing and moving and flipping around. Sketches, sketch is a young person's game. Yes, yes. Improv, you can, you can keep, do you improvise at all anymore? Do you still do shows or no? I, I mostly do monologue kind of shows. I don't do kind of scene work improv, and I really respect the people that my age, and I mean, an in my age group who still do it. But I just like, no. Yeah. A lot of funny guys who, like Andy Daly and a lot of guys like that who are so, I love and think

they're the funniest. I just did a show with Gilaziri and Lisa Gilroy and Lauren Lapkis, just the four of us. And I did it because it was so, there was no real, we didn't know what we were going to do. It was Gil's show. Yeah. And we didn't know what we were going to do. And I was scared shitless. But I trust and love all three of them so much that I was like, I got to do this, you know.

And it was an absolute hilarious mess. Yeah. Just like a complete mess. But it was fun. But I've had, I mean, the one that I tell is I did a big fundraiser at the UCB when they had their new place on sunset, you know, the big place. Yeah. And it was a big. fundraiser and like Amy polar came back and did it and it was like kind of some heavy hitters

doing this this this this fundraiser you know what's funny about this I think I talked you at at this thing I on it was about it was backstage at UCB this is a long time ago and someone handed me a joint and I tried to give it to you and you're like no thank you is that before I went on stage or afterwards this I'm not sure I don't know if it was before or after you I don't know if you had finished because now it's it's blurry in my mind right right but you were like no thank you and at the same time i was like i don't want this either i was just trying to get rid of it and you were like no and i'm like shit i had i might have been on the wagon i mean that doesn't sound like or i might it might have been before the show sure because i do i learned don't get high

before the show a hundred percent i learned that when i was like 22 don't get high before the show it's a waste of weed it's a wasted show um but i did this big improv thing that was kind of like a you know, an Armando or an ask cat or a herald. But I, but instead of monologues, you were going to sing a song. Like everybody had a song. It was like a special one-off kind of thing.

And I thought, okay, I'm just going to kind of do the song and then do, and I was like, I'm doing monologues? Was it an improvised song? No, no. Oh, God. That was my, that was my. No, I fucking hate that. There's always like, the eat your vegetables of improv was musical improv.

But Matt Bester, right as we're going. on, said, no, no, you're doing scene work. And I didn't have any time to get worried about it. So I did it. And because it was a big show and a lot of people there, it went really long. It was like two hours. Yeah.

And I did fine. And I was in the car driving home and felt like, I don't need to do that again. Sure. You know, I was going to say, you're one of the funniest. You can flip it on. But then also, at some, I'm 43 now. And once you hit like 40 and you're like doing a scene where your doctor is a dog or whatever the fuck you're doing and you're just like,

one of my, no one's, no one in the audience is laughing. I had a horrible. I had a moment, this moment of like, and sorry folks, we're off into comedy talk here,

but, they like, some people still like that, right? We'll get to the gross eating stuff later. Um, but I, I had this moment of just like clarity. I went back for a improv olympic,

like 25th annual, or, you know, like 25th. anniversary, which somebody figured out was two and a half years after the 20th anniversary, like she just kind of had re-rigged the history to just get another big show out of it. And we all had body mics, lob, you know, wireless mics. The minute we got on stage, because she, of course, spent no money on hiring techs.

The entire board blew out because they hadn't turned on all the microphones at once. It fried the board. So we were improvising with hand mics, with corded hand mics. Which is so much fun here. It's so much fun when you have to break in and then go and pick up a mic off the floor and go, I'm ready for my surgery, doctor, you know. But I was backstage. That just feels like every line you're giving is important when you have a microphone on your hand. And it's like, this sucks.

And there's no like, you can't just, there's no throw away, you know. It's just so, and I just was so bummed. And I was backstage. age and I just heard like two guys that I incredibly talented brilliant performers that are like my age or a little younger with children and and families and mortgages like trying to figure out where they were in a scene and it just seemed like the it's like it was like seen two grown men finger painting it was just like these you should not be doing this. This is not a dignified

pursuit for a grown adult with responsibilities. I'm not good enough at it at this point where I'm like I should hang up, I got to hang up the shoes at some point. I think I'm close to, I'm going to look like I'm finger painting out there. I think it's almost over for me. I didn't read your thing here.

Oh, that's okay. Yeah, yeah. Wait, I don't even know my, I don't even know what my thing is. Mike, Mike Mitchell is here. He's an actor, comedian, and writer. You've seen him on the Netflix show Love. The birthday boys on IFC, Parks and Rec, Twisted Metal, and more, which by the way, twisted metal, I hear there's big controversy. They're not back on the show and people are pissed. People are, people are, people are, uh, were very, you know, it was, it kind of, they

started filming this week and it kind of warmed my heart because people were being nice about it in like, comment, because they announced that Mark Hamill was, and it's like, oh man, Luke Skywalker's on the show. And I'm like, that would have been cool to work with Luke Skywalker. You know, that's what your, your child brain says. Of course. And then people have been very supportive of me since then. Oh, that's nice.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's got to feel nice at least. I mean, it's got to at least soothe it a little bit because. It was one of those things of I had to like, you know how it is in this business or you just never get any respect ever? Rodney Dangerfield was correct when he was very right on all of this stuff. Yeah. That it was just like you never, you know, like you're never going to get any the respect that you think you're going to get even after. do like we we would we on our podcast doughboys we would like you know promote that show for a full month

and we would pay to have actors from the show come on and do our podcast to just promote the show and it's like they don't care no you know they don't care and it just makes you it bums you out quite a bit whenever and i it's happened two or three times where i've done something that's like a favor to a powerful person yeah and i've had three times in my life somebody say don't worry i'm i'm gonna remember this, you know, like, I won't forget this. There'll be a payback for, you know, like, I'll get you back. Not a fucking thing. Nothing. Not a fucking thing. Yeah, yeah. And I mean, you do get, you do get respect in sort of different forms, but it doesn't last. Like, the humiliation is always just around the corner. A hundred percent. Yeah. And this is a,

this is a thing. Well, and I'm, I know that you've dealt with this in your life. I mean, I came up watching late night. I loved it. I went, I was at late night when I was in, I think ninth grade, grade, ninth grade. I was there for, I remember who it was. It was Andy Garcia, the Afghan wigs, and Jimmy Fallon, in his first late-night appearance. Wow. And they did the triumph, went to Westminster. Oh, yeah, yeah. It was the segment. Wow. And I, that was like, that's a good show. It was a great show. It was such a awesome show to be at. Yeah, yeah. And my dad and I were some of them, you know, I mean, you get on a, some of those Wednesday shows were a little weak, you know. No, it was, it was, me and my dad were literally the last two people in there was one seat, so we were standing behind the, we were standing behind the back row.

We were standing behind kind of the band behind. Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, and then we would like, we would sit down kind of right there during, it was crazy. It was, it was a packed house. But I was, I loved that show and that, like, made me want to be in comedy and to do stuff. And then at some point over the time I've been here, you're like, you'll do enough that you'll just be a guy that they cast or they like or whatever. and I found that just not to be the truth ever. Like even when you get to a certain point.

At Conan, you mean? Oh, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Conan was like what made me want to get into show business. And I was like at some point, like you just become, you know, you're one of these guys and you're in or you're one of those guys and you're in. And then just I don't know if it ever does happen that way exactly. You're always kind of still fighting to even on a show you're on. You're like, I'm still trying to get in.

No, I mean, I've, listen, I've had a, you know, I've had a wonderful. career. And I consider it an ongoing, an ongoing concern. But I still, I still, I can't, I can't take my foot off the gas. Yeah. I can't relax. I can't go, you know what? I'm going to take next year off and go to Norway and look at a fucking fjord. Like, there's nothing like that. And I know people that could do that. Yeah. But I mean, but they're, you know, two. Yes. You know. Yeah. two, maybe three. And even then, they, they probably can't. Like, you think, like, oh, that person's got all the money in the world.

And then you find out, oh, yeah, but their fucking bills just have grown in, you know, commensurate with their earnings. So. Was there, was there ever a point for you where this is maybe too, this is maybe too much, but where it was like, I don't want to, you know, like, you still, I still auditioned for stuff and I still read for stuff. And then you're just like, this feels embarrassing. It feels like the finger painting thing.

No, I never, the thing with auditioning, I never, I never even considered that I would ever get to a point where I would be offer only for that's what they call it. Yeah. And for a while, I was because I just, you know, I had my own sitcoms and I was on Conan and I was known. And, you know, that goes away. And then it's like, go self-tape yourself in the fucking corner, the least embarrassing corner of your house, you know. And so yeah. But I always... There really isn't one for me.

No, no. They're all pretty embarrassing. My house, I'm renovating my house and I feel like anywhere anyone looks, it's going to be like, is he on a segment on cops? Like, that place looks fucked up. But I always felt like I, and it was almost like a macho thing. Like, I'll audition. I, you know, you want to fucking kick the tires, kick the tires.

I don't want you to just buy it. me without me proven to you that I like that attitude because yeah because I do feel like and I I do feel like and it's partly survival but it's also kind of I do think it like you're not going to be sorry if you hire me that's just the way I carry myself and the and the attitude that I I'm lucky enough to be able to keep I'm incredibly insecure in many areas of my life but in like this one I've just been able to compartmentalize enough where I'm like you're going to make you should hire me because if you don't, you're going to lose out on some funny. That's just the way I feel.

I love that. Yeah. And I just have, you know, I mean, I have rough fucking days, but I still, even when I'm feeling the most shitty, I still feel like, yeah, fucking hire me, you know, get me in there. And as they should. I feel like it's that, yeah, I always just wish there was one switch up or like, we're going to have this guy come in here or whatever.

And like, you know, like we're not, we're not worried about, you know, I guess not the offer only completely, but just that sort of thing of war in demand, I guess. Yeah, exactly. No, I mean, yeah, it's, it's, you know. It's just the way it goes. It's rough. Yeah, no, it's a rejection game. It's all, you got to, it's crazy that the most, like, needy people in the world are in

the most rejection heavy industry ever. Yeah. I don't know if I realized that when I first. It's weird. It's weird, but it kind of makes sense. Like, as you get older and you realize, oh, yeah, a lot of shit's crazy. Like, like, shrinks are some of the craziest people in the world. world. You're like, oh, okay, again, no, that makes sense. Yeah. You know, it's kind of like,

you know, crooked cops. Like, they were drawn to this business. Yeah. And they're just on one side of it and the other side. And it's kind of like with shrinks and crazy people. It's like, they were drawn to crazy. Oh, because they have a little in them. Like, you know, so. But anyway, we should talk about the radio show. At least we don't have guns. Yeah, yeah. It's the plus side of that. That's true. As actors, well, sometimes fake guns. I, I, by the way, I had always wanted to be on a sketch. I wanted to be like, I was, I went right to L.A. And this is part of the reason I brought up, but I was like, oh, man, it would be a dream to be on late night. And I was like, but I'm in, I'm in LA and they're in New York. And then when you, when the, the Tonight Show happened and you guys

were all out here for the tonight show, I was working at the Simpsons. And I got a call to be in a sketch. And I was taking lunch orders for the Simpsons writers. And I missed it. And I came back. And and they were like, ah, you just missed it. And then it never, and then it never happened. Oh, I'm sorry. No, I mean, it's not your fault. I blame all those hungry Simpsons writers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I had to eat.

You could add a brief moment on a sinking ship that way just to see the ocean looming. You know what? Conan came in and I told them that I was like, oh, man, I almost had, I was on, and I went into the writer's room and he was in there. And I was like, I was almost on a sketch on the show. And he was like, yeah, you know what? The NBC executives watched it that night. And that sketch was so bad that I got five. I was like I was like I was just a PA and he was scaring the shit out of me it was very funny

well we're talking about I shouldn't have eaten that stories yeah we're off on a little tangent here but we're going to get we're going to get to the calls yes 855 2662604 god knows I have some of these stories um and uh we're going to talk to Aaron from North Carolina we're going right to the phones here Aaron oh Andy and Mike, hi. Hi, how are you? How are you? How are you?

Good. So you made a bad decision or do you know someone who made a bad decision? No, I've made a lot of poor choices when eating because I was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2012. I was around 29. And four years later, I got married and had a bachelorette party and accidentally poisoned myself at my own bachelor's. Pachelorette party. I was, we went to a brewery in Westchester. So I'm a Baltimore.

We, a friend hosted my Bachelorette and Westchester, CA. And we went to a brewery, I got drunk, I was hungry. There was an empanada truck there, which is stock full of wheat and gluten. And I ordered right from beans, and I ate it, and I was still hungry. I got drunker. I made my friends go to Chocolat before we went back to the house to get ready to go out to dinner. I down the Chippole And then we got ready We go to this very nice restaurant That my friend's husband

Was the general manager at And I'm sitting there It takes two hours For my gluten poisoning to kick in And I just got hit by a wave I can't even describe it I don't know if either of you have Food allergies or whatever

But you can feel the poison setting it Like you just you feel like out of your body Out of your skin and I stood up and I ran out to the restaurant, the back door, and I just start projectop vomiting Tripoli up in the alley by the dumpster of my friend's husband's restaurant while all of my friends are enjoying the meal that they ordered. What do you think did it? You know, there's a lot of flowers flying around that truck.

It's a small space. And so they probably just landed in the rice and stuff. bean somehow, I guess. Yeah, I guess maybe they thickened the beans or something, the shortcut thickening of the beans or something? Yeah. I thought you were going to say like you were doing flour shots with all your friends. It's a bachelor at party.

Yeah, it's a bachelor party. Might as well. Yeah. Who wants batter? I do. No. I mean, I have accidentally, like, brought regular buns to like a barbecue thinking they were gluten-free and then I ate them.

So I have accidentally done this to myself a few times. But no, this time I just, I didn't ask. I was too drunk. I was like, there was some mice and beans. And it was a complete and utter disaster. That's not the barfing you want. I didn't have you go home. No.

That's not the happy kind of throwing up. It was not good. I went home. I was like, you guys should still go out. Like, everybody go out. And so everybody went out. No. A few friends stayed back.

Hold on a second. I mean, a few of them stayed back. Like, what were they going to do? You know, I was just like on the toilet and like, yeah, it was bad. Send you pictures of a stripper grinding on them. Thinking of you, friend. You could pay a stripper enough to go into the bathroom and give you a dance, a lap dance on the toilet or something.

It might not be like the, you know, the A team of strippers. But, you know, where there's a check, there's a, way. Now, with celiac, is there like, is it, is it an out, like, will Benadryl help or do you just have to purge yourself of whatever it is that's, that's gotten in? No, it's wild. So it's an autoimmune, so your body just revolts against itself. So you just, there's nothing you can do. I, I end up just like vomiting and having diarrhea for like six hours. And then I'm like swollen for a few days. So yeah, it's wild. I got to be really. I got to be really careful.

But it is kind of funny. It was a bad omen. My marriage only lasted 10 months. And I'm like, yeah, I mean, my God. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah. No, no, it's good.

It's all good. We're, you know, it's fine. It's been a long time. But, yeah. That to me, that diagnosis is almost a death sentence for me. If it was like, you can't eat gluten. Yeah. I maybe would just slide into a coffin and close the lid on myself.

That's me. I just would have a very hard time. I would have a tough time with dairy. Oh, yeah. With like lactose. And I mean, and I think sometimes, I don't know, I mean, I think sometimes like, like sometimes I'll have ice cream and not feel great. Yeah.

And I've been like, oh, do I have lactose intolerant? And I don't know, maybe I got a scotia of it or who knows it could be some, you know, it could be like if it's pistachio. Maybe it's something about the pistachios. I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, dairy would be, that would be the one. My wife is vegetarian.

My wife is vegetarian. And I swear if she were vegan, I don't think I could do it. But vegetarian I can handle. Like just if we can have cheese and we can have eggs, then okay. 100%. I would give up, I would think I'd give up meat before I give up cheat. I just can't. I could never give up cheese.

I would agree. I would agree. Like, oh, and it's not just cheese. It's all the dairy things. Yeah. It's all the dairy. And getting it straight from the tea. I'm with you.

Yeah. I, when I sort of got diagnosed, so it, like, it railed your small intestine. So I was so sensitive after I got diagnosed that I couldn't eat dairy for like two years. Yeah. But I'm full on now. But I mean, when I, I live in L.A. right before this diagnosis and I, I would like, just, I shat my pants at an ATM once just because I had had dairy. And then, like, my body was just like, you couldn't handle it. Like, it was so bad.

Yeah. But I'm full on dairy. So I'm with you there. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Go dairy. Go dairy.

Go dairy. All right. Well, Aaron, thank you so much for the call. You rule. Yeah, and for being, for sharing. All right. Thank you guys. It's fun talking to you.

I'm talking to you too. Bye-bye. I've never, I've never, I'm always very close to having to go to the bathroom on my pants, but I've successfully, weirdly successfully avoided it. In adulthood. In adulthood. Oh, that's very rare. Yeah, I know.

I think everybody's got like a, I mean, you know, not like a, but you know, like a little, like Just a little. Sure. Okay. All right. Well, if we're coming that, then. Right, right, right. Yeah, I'm, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, okay.

Yeah, no. I, yeah, like, like really letting go. Yeah. Yeah, no, I think I've been able to at least, you know, avoid that part of it. But yeah. For me, popcorn, I love popcorn. So that's, this is another thing as, as, as a pop, I say popcorn, popcorn. Is that a regional thing?

I think that's a New England thing. Yeah, yeah. Like, my accent is. gone at this point. This weird, whatever, my ancestors who worked in, like, the Queen's house or whatever, it still exists in me. But I, but I, popcorn, I love, and that's the sort of thing of I, I will still eat it and it will still, it will still mess me up to this day.

I'll go to AMC and maybe it's the butter. I don't know what it is, but a lot of times when I have corn, it just messes with my stomach. Yeah, yeah. It's all the, it's, it's, it's the fact that it's so rough, too. Yeah. I found like soft shell crab. Like my body has said like, don't eat shells.

Even if they're soft, my body just says, don't do that. And so I don't. I don't eat shells anymore. Smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's just like my body goes, fuck you. We're not processing this. Which is not fair that even on a bachelor party, a bachelorette party.

Your body should know that it's a good day. Like it's a nice day. Right, exactly. Don't fuck you over on the nice day. And you have a honeymoon coming up. You don't want to be exploding from all orify, if that's a word. James from Oklahoma. Hey, James.

Hey, hey, can you guys hear me? We can. We can. It's Andy and Mike. Andy, nice to meet you guys. Yeah, awesome. I've got a story. Letter writ, man.

Wait, from Oklahoma, Mexico? No, no, Mexico's the topic. I used to live in Mexico. Oh, you used to live in Mexico. I'm a big guy, so I make bad food decisions all the time. But I used to live in Mexico, and I'm a really nice guy as well. And we met this old lady, and she invited us to her home and to eat dinner and to help prepare some food for a big party the next day. So we walked in and she had two iguanas tied up, live iguanas tied up to her bedpost.

And so we untied them. I have a picture of me holding both of these iguanas by their tail and they're still alive. and she had us do the whole process. She taught us how to, like, clean them. And I'm not going to get into the gory details, but it was just absolutely disgusting. Oh, my God. And one of,

one of the iguanas was pregnant. So when we cut it open after we had, like, done everything, eggs spilled into, like, a Lose or a Home Depot bucket. It was just the nastiest thing you can imagine. I was wondering. Wait, why are you doing this again? Did I miss the why? I'm a nice.

I'm a nice. But that's, But that does not fall under the category. Most nice guys end up hacking a lizard depart to eat it. I was wondering why I was saying I'm a nice guy. I was like, you usually don't just proclaim that at the top of meeting somebody. So you were invited to do this and you were just too shy to go, you know what, I'm good.

Yeah. Well, you get to a certain point, you can't go back, right? You're like, okay, I guess I'm holding this iguana up to the cutting board. And I guess we're doing this. And so the next day, she invited us back for the party. And she had in, I mean, the tamales in Mexico hit so differently than in the States. But like, I was so excited, you know, even I'd never tried iguana before, but I was like, it can't be that bad.

I bet it's like chicken. So I take my first bite. And of course, she's watching me because I'm just tall, big white guy. Yeah, yeah. And she's just, she's grinning ear to ear just knowing that. like this is my first pace of whatever's going to be. And I literally pulled out the gnarled foot of this iguana. Jesus.

That is shitty quality control. Yeah. That's not rustic cuisine. That's bad hygiene. So I politely pulling out of my mouth and lay it on my plate. And I'm just staring at it and like trying to drink water so that I don't throw up right there. Wow. And she goes,

No, no, no. She's like, it's good luck, you know? In Spanish, she tells me that. And I was like, oh, and she's, you have to eat it. And she scares at me. Again, nice guy. I look at her and I just put it in my mouth. I crunch it up. She was fucking with you. I like you yelling, I'm a nice guy as you're non-gonna leg. This is what's known as Abuela's revenge. There's another tamale on my plate, and I have to finish it, right? So I grab the next one. First, bye. It had an egg in it and it popped like one of those bobas teas. And I always... You might have been on Fear Factor Mexico. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. This lady's just fucking with you really bad.

It's a prank show. I ended up standing up and asking go to the bathroom. And, yeah, I did not have any of that iguana left in me in about five minutes. Well, did you even get a chance to appreciate what the flesh of the iguana is like? I mean, I'm curious. I mean, it rolled around in my mouth a little bit. bit. It honestly did taste like chicken because I did get some iguana meat besides that foot. And it was fine. It's just a little gamey. But yeah, I don't think I'd ever try it again. Absolutely not.

But yeah, that happened. I mean, Mexico was just terrible. Like, I can't eat mayonnaise because I lived in Mexico for so many years. So explain them yourself. Yeah. Yeah. But it's a different kind. Yeah. It's like a crema kind of. It's yeah. Yeah. And I had a lady who would make me spaghetti. every day, but like no sauce. And so I'd have dried noodles and she'd just do a dollop of mayo on top of it. And I would have to mix it up. Because we were, you know, we were poor.

We didn't have money. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think once you took, I think once you took part in the murder of the iguanas you were in, I think after you became a murder of the iguanas, there was no way. You're complicit. Yeah. All right.

Well, James, I still claim my Mexican heritage, so thank you guys. No problem. Thank you very much. Jeffrey Dahmeros. He used to say, I'm a nice guy. Yeah. I'm a nice guy. Yeah.

Ed Gein, he was really nice. Acena. Is it Asena from Florida? Are you there? Oh, Jesus, John, and Jacca Got to know it's Andy Richter, Swedish German. Hello there. Is this Ascena? Yes, this is Asena.

A Senna, okay. I'm calling in. Yeah, calling in from Gainesville, Florida. Nice. I have to say, your transition, there is a legitimate transition from the Norm MacDonald homage that I just did. Yes. The listeners who weren't watching that on late night, that my story is about the time I lived in Norway.

So I currently live in Gainesville, Florida, because I'm a researcher at the University of Florida. Okay. And before this, I did my doctoral studies in Norway, where Andy wants to go stare at a short. Apparently, I just turned. And I lived there for four years, and people always ask me. like what's the weirdest food? Did you eat pickled fish? Blah, blah, blah. And it really wasn't any kind of fish or anything that was so unusual there. But the candy and sweets and ice cream that's one of the most popular flavoring for candy in Norway is called salmiac. And people will tell you that that's

licorice or salty licorish. Yeah. And it's a type of salt, but it's not sodium chloride, what you would normally think of when someone says something is salty, you assume sodium. Yeah. It's actually ammonium chloride. Yeah. And it smells like you would think. Yeah. So it's kind of like pee.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's commonly used also for like breathments and chewing gum and tobacco's are supposed to freshen up your breath. Nothing hotter than piss breath. I think we all can agree. I'm trying to think of instances where I'd rather have piss breath than my own breath. There's probably a couple, I'm sure. Well, Asana, I mean, is there a limit to which you can eat ammonium salts?

I mean, I would think, like, maybe it's sort of possibly, you know, dangerous. Yeah. So the EU tried to regulate how much you can put in food. And there was just an outcry because people don't want it regulated. So typical confections in Scandinavia will have upwards of 7, 8%. and ammonium chloride by weight. Yes. And there's even a candy that's very popular called hockey powder.

It comes in a little container that looks like a hockey puck, and the ingredients are sugar and ammonium chloride. Wow. And it's so popular that the way we have like Twix popcorn or Snickers popcorn, they have hockey powder chips and all kinds of things that are like named after this. It's very, very, very popular candy. It does look like a hockey puck. They brought up images of it.

Hockey pulver. Oh, and chips. Hockey pulvers flavored chips. Yeah. Wow. Really, this is cocaine like this. It's just as dust in the inside the, uh. It is weird.

Like there's a lot of different cuisines where it is kind of like, like there's different like fish sauce. Yeah. Like there is something. And like if you ever read like in the book Shogun, you know, the Englishman that's, like he's so used to English food in which you get like a some, you know, like a pheasant. And there's a whole segment where he insists that it'd be hanging outside for a few days because they've gotten used to the taste of bad, slightly rotten food.

Yes. And I think like there is something in our human development where we did like start to like develop a taste for things that are like a little bit rotten. Like, you know, like Limburger cheese or like I said, like fish sauce. And it is, I mean, I can understand where you cook something once and you're like, this needs a little something. You know what? It needs a flavor of rotting fish.

Just a touch, a scotch of rotting fish. And it actually makes it great. Which is so funny because like great sushi, you're not supposed to taste. It's not supposed to be fish. Yes. But then there are, there's like fish flakes and fish, fish sauce. And I don't. And some of it is like the mackerel, it's fucking fishy taste.

Sure. Yeah. And that's what people like about it. Yeah. I've never been a huge, like a, they have putrified shark. And this is the one I know about Iceland. Yeah. And I know that.

But I've never overly fishy taste. And I'm a New England boy. I just don't, I don't love it. There's this, there's a scandal. Are you still there, Asana? I sure am. Oh, hi there. Did the Norwegians do Lutifisk?

Yeah, it's a typical Christmas food. Yeah, yeah. Because my step-grandfather was Swedish from Sweden, and my mother used to as a favorite, she really liked him a lot as a favor to him, would make ludifisk. And it makes your house smell like creamy fish vomit for two days. It's the fucking worst. Perfect for Christmas Day. It's codfish that has been preserved in a lie. Like it's an ancient.

And then you have to soak it to get the lie out of it. Yes, yeah. But it's, it's fucking, did you ever attempt Lutifus Casana? No, I did not. I'm actually a vegan. So I didn't get up to too many of those. But ammonium chloride I did try is extremely sharp and probably the perfect palette cleanser after a big dish of Lutifist. Yeah, yeah.

Right, get a little bit of salt, a little bit of like, you know, poison salts. I've never had Lutifist. It's gross. So funny is they have a really strong ammonium chloride, like extra strong variety. They call it adult licorice. And I always kind of wondered, Andy, if your good friend, Flulaborg, he's from the region where this food is very popular as well. He was German.

Well, in North Germany, they have this super strong adult licorice, which is, again, ammonium chloride. Yes, they do. And if he asked you over for, would you like to have some ludicisicc and adult licorice? Andy, what would you think that was about? I would politely decline, I think. Or I say I might come over, but, you know, I'm not really hungry. You know, I could beg off.

I like that. So many of these stories are just people eating insane shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's human history. Well, Asana, thank you so much for your call. Thank you for having me. I adore you, Andy. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Thank you so much. Yeah, the whole thing about like, slightly poignant like i find like like when you see those people in those chili eating contests like or even even like hot ones yeah it's like that's you're poisoning yourself yeah you're just really kind of poisoning yourself i once in um in amsterdam the because they're colonial thing is indonesia they colonize indonesia so indonesian food they they have indonesian food and it's the craziest hottest food and they'd have this thing called a rich truffle which is a rice table They're like little tapas.

And from left to right, the place that we went, and it was like the, you know, like the best one. From left to right, it starts mildish and then gets to the hottest one. And there's maybe seven dishes. And like my ex-wife, she got all the way through. She's from Louisiana. She got all the way through. I got to like five. And I felt like I had been poisoned.

Oh, my God. It wasn't like I, it wasn't like, oh, I ate too, you know, I ate chilies and boy, that's going to burn. I felt like I was sweating. I felt like my vision was affected. This is, to me, this is when, even when we're talking to the story, I love Holland Rays and I went and you can get like a level above Holland. Yes, yes. And I got that with my friends and I was like eating it pretty well.

And they were like, hey, that's pretty impressive. And for two days, I was just on the toilet. Like, I couldn't leave my house. Yeah, yeah. And that to me now is like the like spicy stuff, which is as a big guy, I don't know. This is a certain type of big guy, but when I was younger, they would like be like, Chug hot sauce. Like, I would do stuff like that.

You know, like, and I had a great, I could take down hot sauce. But now as I'm older, I just, I don't. Yeah, there's like, I, I, I'm happy with mild. Yes, absolutely. I enjoy, I enjoy some spicy things, but there's just like things where I'm like, not, not worth it. Not worth it, you know. Do you, how do you feel about this is, this is a food thing?

I was in, I was in Mexico and I went to this place, Pujol, which is like a great restaurant in Mexico, Mexico City. I like the famous slugger. A hundred percent like coverproof bourgeois. Yeah, yeah. And I, I, I'm not a bug guy. Yeah. But they did have like chapolinas and, yeah, and there was like an ant larva in one of the tacos. Yeah.

And I don't normally do it. Like, that's the thing I have to stay away from. I can't do, I just can't do bugs. Yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's the hardest thing for me. I mean, I might try the ant larva stuff because I mentioned it must be kind. Yeah, I mean, it's.

And I did there. Yeah. And it was like, it was like one of the best restaurants in the world. So it was, it was great. But normally. But I've tried the crickets. And again, it's all, it's all like, it's all, it's like eating shrimp with the shells on. And then there's no shrimp.

Yeah. It's just shell, you know. And it's like, yeah, spice it up and everything. But I'm still, I'm just eating exoskeleton. I'm not really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. No one's going to order. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. .

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Lindsay from Tasmania. Oh, I should say the number 855-266-2-604 if you got a call for us. Lindsay from Tasmania, this is exciting.

Hi. Hi there. Are you calling from Tasmania at present? Yes, I am. Well, thank you. Actually, 642 in the morning. That's what I was going to say. You must have set an alarm to call us.

I appreciate that very much. You get the big E for effort of all the callers. You said you're what? I said it was such a big sacrifice. I'm very much a night owl, so it was hard. Oh, okay. Well, tell us your story. Okay.

First of all, I just wanted to say I'm big fans of both of you. Mitch actually already knows me because I am such a big dog voice. She's in our dose school. What's up? Lindsay, what's happening? Hi. I actually have a really sad tell to tell. Oh, good.

Love it. I mean, yes, great. I revel in other sadness. So before I moved to Tasmania, about six months ago, I lived in Houston. I was in Houston, Texas for 12 years. And of course, that's where you can find what a burger. But one evening, I was waiting for my Zen partner to get off from work so we could go pick up food there. And I don't know if it's because we didn't have food in the house or what, but it felt like a life or death situation.

to me because when I get hungry, I get, like, sad. I don't get hangary like some people get. I get sad hungry. Like, I want to crawl into a hole and die. I don't think there's a cutesy word for that. There isn't. I can't think, I'm trying to think hung depressed, you know. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't work.

If you can come up with a, yeah, that would be great for me. If you could come up with the work. Yeah, but I mean, before I spend, before I really get in the lab and figure it out, you're going to have to find other people afflicted with this. I'm not doing this just for you, no offense. You know what? That's true. That's fair.

But anyway, we decided to go to Waterburger. And another thing about me is that, or another thing about Houston, rather, is that around hurricane season, it just, it's crazy. Like, Texas doesn't do anything by halves. and around hurricane season, when it rains, it rains. So we got in the car to go to Waterburger, but it was like pouring down rain, and you couldn't really see the road very well.

And it sort of felt like if I didn't die on the way to Waterburger from starvation, we might die on the road just because there was that much rain. It was very scary. You were surrounded by death. You could feel this cold hand on your shoulder. That's what it felt like. I will have some food related. It's very, very sad.

Mama Cass is, like, they say she, like, it was a ham. Like, I feel like that's, it's also not fair to Mama Cass. Right, right. But, like, I feel like I'll have some sort of food-related death. And I'm okay with that. Yeah, yeah. I'm fine with that. Yeah.

So you're on your way to what, a burger? It's, you know, it's Noah-type rain. Yeah. And? Oh, my gosh. But anyway, it was porn grain. I didn't know if I was going to die of starvation or a car accident. but eventually we made it to Waterburger, and I was so relieved.

I got a bag with Monterey melt, and my partner at the time, he got some kind of burger, and we got a large fry to share. And I was so excited to eat this food. I knew this was going to be the best meal of my life, because Waterburger is great anyway, but I was also just so hungry. But we were walking in the parking lot, headed to the car, and it was still raining. So, of course, it only took like three seconds for the bag to get soaked through and all of the food spilled across the ground. And I just looked down and I just started thawbing.

And it wasn't the last time that I ever cried over a mill, but it was definitely the hardest. And do you just go back and buy another one and just eat it inside or something? I think we just like, I don't remember what we did. You know what? We should have been that. I think we just like. I wasn't that desperate, I guess. I guess it could have been a lot worse.

Well, Lindsay. Yeah, that's a sad story. That made you move to Tasmania, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Just to get away from Waterburger. It's like a bad breakup. I'm moving to the other side of the globe to get away from those Monterey burgers.

Well, Lindsay, thank you so much. for calling. Yeah, that's exactly why. Thank you so much. All right. See ya. Yeah, I would still eat the... I'm not above eating food that's fallen on the ground.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It depends if people are looking. Yeah, all right, that's fair. I mean, I mean, really, because it's like, yeah, I, you know, I have a modicum of shame. But, yeah. But have you ever had a water burger? I have, yes.

Yeah, I just had it for the first time in Kansas City. And I guess it was, I think... is Patrick Mahomes from Texas. It's like some big, some big athlete there is from Texas and brought a waterburger to Kansas City. And they had him at this charity event that I was at. And they were kind of had been sitting around and they were still fucking delicious. It's really, I was really, I'd heard about him and I was like, okay, wait, this is really good.

I liked him a lot. They said that they've been bought by private equity. I was a big Wendy's fan, which is now like being destroyed. Oh, is it? Yeah. It's sad. We've done this podcast for 10 years, and the fast food corporations have just gotten worse. When we started, they weren't good.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They just have gotten worse and worse over the years. Yeah. At least doing something unhealthy should be enjoyable. Yeah, and it's not even that anymore. There should be hedonism involved. It's like, no, it's just bad. It's just bad now.

Yeah, you get to feel bad and do bad. Cool. All right, next up, we got Dan. We're lucky. We got a wild card. That just means an awful. topic kind of call because we have very low standards. Dan, what's up? What's your wildcard? Hey, Andy. Hi, Mike.

Hey, you doing. Big fans of both of you guys. Thanks so much. And yeah, so my story is, I apologize if it gets a little gross or clinical. Yeah, we're here for that. But, yeah, so I'd like to preface it by saying, you know, in 2001, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Oh, I'm so sorry. Well, I mean, I survived, and it's been 25 years, so that's good. But yeah, so at the end of chemo, I had a final surgery, and they removed one of my testicles because it had burned out and was, you know, cancerous. Yeah. So, like a year or so later, what developed was something called a hydroceal, which is kind of like a water sack.

Yep. And it kind of turned my scrotum into like a partially deflated balloon. You can picture that sort of texture and consistency. It didn't hurt. It didn't affect anything that I wanted to do, but it was just there. And it made my follow-up checkups a little harder. I had to do ultrasounds instead of like doing a self-test. And, yeah, so anyway, I had it for several years.

And it was swollen for the several years. several years? Yeah. Wow. The sack was there for several years. Again, it wasn't hurting or anything. And when I did ask about fixing it, they kept saying that, well, we can drain it, but it'll just fill right back up.

Yeah. Okay. And so I'm like, all right, fine. I don't want to go through the trauma. But finally, I mean, I don't really understand. I don't remember what the reasoning for it was, but I did decide to finally get it repaired. And maybe the technology had improved or something.

But a few years ago, I went in. It's surgery. It takes a couple of hours, and they cut into your scrotum, and then they seal up the, they take out the water seal, the hydroceal. They seal up the hole that it could go through, and then they sort of patch you up and send you on your way. And so the first time they did that, it stayed kind of. Also, such a nice end and the most gruesome thing, and then they send you on your way. All right. Off you go. Pilgrim.

So the doctor had mentioned, and I thought I missed heard, which will, you know, but anyway, he said, you know, you might see some swelling for the next six weeks, but after that it should go down. I thought he said six months. So what I noticed was that it was still swollen, and it kept being swollen past six weeks. And, you know, then, you know, after six months, I went back to the doctor and I said, hey, you know, this is still pretty swollen. And he said, well, why didn't you come back after six weeks? And it's, well, I thought you said six months. And so anyway, I scheduled a follow-up surgery to have it done again. Turns out it wasn't the hydroceal.

It was a blood clot. You have problematic nuts, sir. Yeah, apparently. But yeah, so he removed that and did the surgery and sealed everything up, and everything seemed fine. And I go home, and again, you know, it wasn't really that swollen anymore. So it sort of what it was supposed to look like. And so I'm going about my business.

And a week later, my scrotum sort of swells up to, like, even bigger than it was before. Jeez. And I'm like, oh, no. and I had a fever and I thought, you know, sort of dealt with that. And as the fever went away, I still had this sort of swelling. And it was a weekend. And I was going to call the doctor on Monday. But so Sunday night, I'm cleaning up my dinner and doing the dishes.

And I start to feel like wetness or water running down my legs. Oh, Dan. Oh, my God. And I'm like, what is that? I thought I had spilled the water. water out of the sink. Yes. And so I look down.

Yes. Well, you know, they seal up your, when they do surgery, they don't use stitches anymore. They use like a glue. Yes. And I guess they don't glue it completely. I don't know about, I don't know if they is, includes every medical professional. Well, I'm, I am afraid of what fell out here still.

I don't know exactly what fell out. Well, it was kind of like, well, let's just call it pus. It's not really wasn't pus, but it's, but it's, but think of that as just the color. Yeah, sure. Nut pus. And so that's,

that's what I call it. Leaking down my leg and I have no idea what it is because, you know, when they heal you up, things aren't supposed to come out, right? Sure. Ideally. Yes. So I hopped in the shower and sort of examine myself and noticed that things, you know, was coming out.

And I called the doctor's, service panicking, like, hey, why are things coming out? And apparently, well, when I finally was able to see the doctor, and I told them what happened, he said, yeah, that could happen. And I think, well, why can you tell me that? Who is this doctor? Oh, dear. Is that a part of the Hippocratic oath that if you feel you?

Are you okay now? Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm perfect, man. No, it's just a very harrowing. Yeah. I ruined a whole bunch of towels. That's the least of the... Yeah, yeah, the towels. It's not a big deal about the towels, Dan, for crying out loud.

You know, Dan, Dan, I have to tell you something. I, too, have had a hydroceal. Oh, my God. I had exactly one of these happened to me, and it was during COVID. So, like, going for anything medical felt like... The perfect time to get it. Yeah, it felt like going into, like, where they had... ET like bagged up.

And but I, I heard the hydroceal numbers was shot through the roof during COVID. Mine was, mine, I did not have as harrowing a journey as you had. I just, I had one testicle just became lemon sized. Oh my God.

And, and then it's like, and the doctor was like, it's a, yeah, it's a hydroceal, we'll wait a while, see if it goes down.

But it's like there's a, there's a tissue that surrounds your testicle. Fluid gets behind it in underneath. it and it's just it's just the you know the natural fluids of your body or whatever uh synovial fluid i believe they call it but i ended up getting they they just remove the whole membrane oh wow so yeah so that i mean but that was you know that was it was you know it wasn't pleasant you had no seal i had no no no nut pus no six months of misery your towels are fine i have my towels i still have the same towels from those times yep i'd dry i i'd dry i

I dry my nuts with those house today. Have you heard of ball maxing? This is a thing that a lot of, there's a lot of, this is a new thing that a lot of people are doing. They're like injecting. With saline or something? With saline. They're trying to make their testicles look bigger by, Dan, do you know, have you heard of this?

And then just to hear the hell side of this. I heard about it on Reddit. And, you know, I was thinking, you know, don't you want to have your penis be bigger than your balls? You know what, I agree with that. That's a good take. Although right now it's a World Cup thing probably. Sure. You know, okay, Jay looks, you know, you get your own soccer ball.

No, I think, yeah, no, I actually, I had ages ago in Chicago, a friend who was a sex worker and said that was one of the things that their clients, that they had done to clients. And this, this is 30, 40 years ago. They were doing it, they were doing it 30, 40 years ago. No, yeah, 35-ish years ago. Yeah. I was like, yeah, that does not sound pleasant at all. Yeah. And this friend of mine is like, yeah, it's not.

But, you know, I do it. It's an American tradition, apparently. I mean, I'm a professional. I must if they ask. Can I ask a quick question, Dan? This is my, maybe this is, this is maybe too much. But when you, when you lot, when your testicle is going away, what is, what is the procedure with that?

Do they just get rid of that like medical waste or do they offer you to, I guess I'm asking if they offer you to keep it or to say something. I don't know if you say something. it, but I'm saying, like, that is a part of your, that's a part of your body. Is it just gone or? I think they, yeah, they just pitch it. They just, they just toss it. They make cat food out of it, probably. I mean, why waste it? I think you could. If you were really attached to it, I think you could probably ask for it. Yeah. I was part of a clinical trial. So maybe they weren't oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that could be too. Yeah. Okay, yeah. Well, that means you got a, you got a

cheap, right? Well, you're comparatively. Yeah. Well, you see, maybe some things aren't worth bargain hunting, Dan. Maybe that nutpuss is a result of your stinginess. No, I was saying Elton John had his kneecap removed or kneecaps, and he had jewelry made out of them. That's fun. Yeah. That is fun.

I don't know. I haven't seen the jewelry. I'm sure it's probably available. Can we Google Elton John's kneecap jewelry? Neckin jewelry? Where we're going to bring it up. Oh, yeah. Oh.

Oh, wow. Oh, my God. That's so much more than I. It looks like a, oh my God, it looks like a giant guitar pick. That is wild. That is nasty. I'm sorry, Elton. I'm on board with most of his stuff, but no, that's, oh, that's not, that's not good. Yeah, it looks, it looks, it's about the size of a Pringle. I don't know, I don't know about a big hole in the middle of it. I don't know about a testicle around your neck like that. Yeah, yeah, no, I don't think that would be worth it.

There's a famous story that I actually heard. from Conan that he had a friend who was working on something with Eric Estrada. Okay. Yeah. And Eric Estrada had this very distinctive sort of pendant necklace that kind of looked like amber. And it had something in it. And this guy said like, hey, what's in that amber? And Eric Estrada went, said, oh, it's my son's foreskin.

Oh, my God. I had it sealed. I had it sealed and I can, and so I could wear it as, where, which I don't know if that's a cultural thing, but, but his friend,

Conan's friend, like, oh, wow, that's really, that's really something. And this, and Eric Estrada went,

you got to do it. And Conan's friend, his point was like, of all the things you got to do, that is not one of them. Taking your son's foreskin and sealing it in Lusite and wearing it on a gold chain on your an neck. That is not something you've got to do.

Where did it get in his head that he had to do? I don't know. I don't know if this is some cultural like thing. I mean, I think he's just standard Mexican. I've never heard of any other Mexican person. I've never heard of this in my life. That's very funny to me. I'm not trying to laugh at something cultural.

Yeah, yeah. No, I never heard this is my life. It's ridiculous. Dan, we got to go. So thank you so much for the wild card. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And hell yeah, for beating cancer, dude.

Yeah, yeah. And good job beating cancer. But, yeah, just be careful with those precious balls of yours. Yes, thank you. All right. Thanks so much, Kate. Thank you, Dan. All right.

Sean, should we wrap it up? Or one more? Wait, did you? Was that one more or wrap it up? One more. All right. Next up, we got Terry from Tennessee. Terry.

Terry. How are you doing? Terry, are you there? Terry, you've got to be there or else we're going to wrap this show. We're going to land this fucker. It's scary. It says deadly restaurant.

I know. You're here. Oh, Terry. Oh, my God. You're okay. We saw a deadly restaurant and we thought finally they'd gotten you before you could spill your guts.

No, I'm here. I'm here. I'm sorry. Oh, that's okay. We kept you waiting. Tell us your story. Well, a few years ago, me and two friends of mine,

we were on a meeting, going to a meeting at Nashville. And we're from West Tennessee, and it's about a two-hour drive to Nashville. And so we go and after the meeting, we stop at a restaurant. It's a pretty well-known restaurant at the time. And we eat, they eat fish, whatever, slim gems. I get a hamburger fries and a chocolate milkshake. And we had our meal.

And if we get ready to finish, I reached down on the floor. And when I did, I felt something shooed up. my back, all the way up my back, too nearly to my neck. And apparently I shit all the way, a little diarrhea all the way up. Wow. That's impressive. Yeah. And it's very impressive.

It was under your shirt? It like went. Well, I had my shirt tail in. I have my shirt tail in. I see. Of course. Yeah, you were at a business lunch. Right.

Yeah. And there was a nice little old lady that had been waiting on us. And she looked to be in her seven. And she had been very weak. I left her an ice chip and kicked up. But when I felt that jump up my shirt, I told my buddies, I said, I best go to the bathroom. I said, but I'm not sure what it is. So I just took one of their cloth napkins off the table and reached under my shirt and covered it pretty good.

Yeah. And so I just laid it back on the table. Oh. Terry, that's not what you do. Terry, no. You got to hold on to that for dear life after that. Yeah, it was like, get up and go to the bathroom. I had to take everything I have off. Right.

And after about 45 minutes, one of my friends comes in, and he says, are you alive? And I said, I'm trying to wipe all of this crap off of me. I said, it's going to, it's just not easy. And he said, well, the little lady, we paid her, and she went on her way. So about three days later, there's a story in the Nashville, Chinathean, about this waitress that had worked at this restaurant out on the west side of Nashville, years who had had a stroke later that day. Oh, my God. So I feel like I probably contributed to it if I didn't cause it. Are you sure it's the same lady?

Well, I mean, they showed a picture of her. Wow. And it was white-haired. She looked like a grandmother. So my prince, and then we had to ride all the way back from Nashville, back to Paris with the windows down. Yes. All the way back. and them cussing me every breath that they could about how awful.

Shitting your shirt is impressive. Yeah, but it's not like a character flaw. Your friends, how dare they? Well, you know, I would have done the same to them. Now, are you saying that the restaurant was the cause of this, or was it something that you'd had for breakfast? Apparently, I have a, the doctor told me once you have a touch of IV. Oh, just a scosh.

Oh, that's romantic. Just a little bit to make life fun. Yeah, so apparently it was the milk shake. Oh, it was the milk shake. Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, it was from milkshake. That was fast.

And, oh, man, I mean, it's just, it hit, and it's just that way. And you know what when it feels like it explodes up your back. Well, no. No. You don't know that. No, sorry. Sorry, no. I wear loose flowing garb.

Yeah, I lift a lot of smelly clothes. Well, I cleaned them off as much as I could, and I still have it. You mean throughout life, you've just been leaving a trail of soiled clothing. Apparently, I'm going to a gastroenterologist tomorrow because of stuff that's continued to happen. Well, he's probably listening. He's probably listening, and it's going to save you a lot of time. Wait, you at least untouch your shirt, you're saying it. You said this has happened more times, but not the same.

Yeah, no, no. Now I live off a modium. I mean, that's basically every meal I take. Oh, Terry. I take that before I go. Well, Terry. But, Andy, I wanted to tell you real quickly what a fan I am back years ago when you had your TV show, one of the best TV episodes ever in my life, and I still have it somewhere,

was where you got a little extra money and you bought a. a TV to put on each side of your bed. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yes. That is one of the funniest things. I bring that up to my kids and my family all the time. That if I ever get money, that's exactly what I remember doing. TV on both sides. Yeah, yeah.

Spend, figure out this thing first. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get your bowels in order, sir. All right. I will. I'm going to. Thank you so much, Terry. So we think so. Thanks. Thank you. And good luck tomorrow. Yeah, good luck, Terry. All right. Now we pick a favorite caller. Um, boy.

He thinks the napkin killed the lady? Is that where you're? I'm not sure. I'm not sure. And I'm wondering, is it, is it the news that slow that a waitress having a stroke ends up in the paper? I mean, I kind of get the feeling waitresses have strokes all the time. You know, whatever.

I didn't want to, you know, I didn't want to question him right then. I believe he should his shirt. I don't think that you would just go out there and say you shit your shirt if you didn't cheat your shirt. Right. Well, gosh, I don't know. I mean, I don't know what to pick here. I have a favorite.

Okay, you go ahead. I mean, the cancer survivor, Dan is. Yeah, the scrotum leakage. It was pretty, that was a harrowing ride. That was a pretty rough ride. Yeah. I mean, James is a villain. Yeah.

He killed Aquana's name. Yeah. But I'm, yeah, the, I mean, not a true villain. But I often, what makes my favorite is like the visual. And finding a claw in a, in a, in a, in a, in a, in a, in a, in a, in a visual pop to that. So I might, I might call it James. We can split. It can be a split decision. All right, James, it did.

Yeah, Lindsay's on my Discord for my podcast, so I can't play favorite. Sorry, Lindsay. Everyone was great. Awesome. I thought everyone was great. Awesome. Well, great day today, guys. Thanks for calling in everybody.
