Starting point is 00:00:00 This message is sponsored by Greenlight. As kids get older, some parts of parenting get easier. You can finally have real conversations with them. They can grab their own snacks when they're feeling hungry, and on a good day, they might even clean up after themselves.

And it's been a week since our last episode. Is there any update, Lauren, on your groomers, your dog groomers getting back to you? Nope. So it's been a week and they haven't gotten back to you? That's crazy. Okay, groomer. Okay, grumer. You know what?
Starting point is 00:04:45 Season two of a show I enjoy is out now. What's that? The show is called Platonic on Apple television, starring Roseburn and Seth Rogan. I also enjoy that show. I laugh a lot. I laugh a lot. I laugh a lot. The first season I loved, second season I just realized was out, and I got to watch three and a half episodes other night. Well, I also had two of my gummies from our company. Soul. Out of office?
Starting point is 00:05:10 Yeah. Yeah. And boy, I was loving it. And I was melting into the bed watching this show. And it was, it's so funny because it's so, it's so, like, specific little things about life. Yes. And just funny little realistic conversations. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And I just love that. I thought it was, I started watching it, and I was like, wait a minute, they, they start having sex immediately and they just have sex for like 20 minutes. I'm like, this show is called Platonic. Why are they having sex? And, like, I don't think I saw this one. I was like, oh, I'm not watching Platonic. You're watching porn and having a gin and tonic. I thought Plotonic was on Pornhub.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I thought, I typed in Plotonic. I thought porn was on Plotonic. Do you think if you go on a porn site and type in Platonic, There will be videos of people like... We're just friends. We're just friends. We're just friends. There has to be.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Yes, I agree. The episode where Beck Bennett is their old crazy fan... Yes, I was just watching that. When he and Seth Rogen are watching the movie... No, I don't know if I finished that up. Is that the fourth one? Okay, no spoilers. It might be the fourth one.
Starting point is 00:06:19 For this show or any other show. There's a physical gag in it that I rewound a couple times because it made me laugh so hard. Okay, I don't know if I saw that because I'm not... It's not immediately coming to me. me. This is a... But you know what it made me... Re-watch? Because, you know, I was actually thinking about this and I was going, I love this kind of show so much. Other examples of people are interested. Breeders. Fantastic show was starring Martin Freeman and Daisy Haggard. I love that show. It started... And maybe because
Starting point is 00:06:43 I'm not apparent. It started to get a little heavy in a way that was like, hey, what happened to the jokes? It does get heavy, but I love that show. I also love togetherness, which is in the same vein of platonic in terms of the style and acting and stuff, which is a Duplos show. Oh, yes. Melody Linsky. I love that show. I was like, I got to rewatch that. Amanda Pete. I'm going to rewatch that because I watched that when I came out,
Starting point is 00:07:05 but now I'm like, I might relate to it more now. Yeah, I really loved that show. Yeah, I loved that show. And I love shows like that. People know other shows like that. Tell me. There's a show like that. It's hard to do. Yeah. It's called Emergency Room. Well, ER. They shortened it. There's 15 seasons of it if you're interested.
Starting point is 00:07:22 That doesn't seem like it's exactly the same. This is more like, this is more like little nuanced moments. Little relationships between doctors and nurses. Both have hallways. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're not all in these they're not as different as you think. Well, and I will also use this moment to plug again the show that I think people need to watch, which is episodes, which I love that. I love. And it's. Jane, he's a huge. It's so good. It's so good. And it's more. How you do it. Situational. Episodes. How are you doing? How are you doing episodes? There's also, this is not a spoiler, but in one of the episodes of Platonic, there is, they go to an event at the Aquarium in L.A., which...
Starting point is 00:08:04 There's an aquarium in L.A. Where is the aquariums here? There's not. Where do they go? They're in San Diego, I think. Oh, Aquarium Town, USA. They're in another city for a lot of the episodes. Well, there's this movie where they watch this movie about fucking humpback whales, and it's
Starting point is 00:08:20 and 4D or whatever. Oh, meaning the whales are spitting on you and stuff? I think they do, like have spray and spray. Yeah. But it looked so fun. Like, I, first of all, I've never been to the San Diego Aquarium. Yeah. I've been to precious few aquariums.
Starting point is 00:08:38 And let's count the aquariums you've been to. One. Which one? Philly? Houston. Hugh. Why would you? Why in the hell would you go to the Houston Aquarium?
Starting point is 00:08:48 Because I was in Houston to do an extremely. frustrating and disappointing stand-up gig and it was a weekend so I had time. You should have done someone else's stand-up. Myself and Lisa DeLarios who was performing with me we went to the Houston Aquarium.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I went to an aquarium in Mexico City when I was shooting there and I was bored and I just went through it and I was like it was very much for little kids. Oh, God. But when does this come out? In September. Great. Oh, of course it won't come out tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:09:18 I'm going to San Diego this weekend. I don't feel like letting everyone know that. Will you go to the aquarium and report back? Please let me know. We're definitely going to go to the San Diego Zoo, which is a big. I've been there once before, but it was like 12 years ago. Is the safari thing still there? Where you can hunt the animals?
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah. Is it like a, where you ride a tram or something? No, I think you ride your own car around and animals are passing. Oh, I don't even know about that. Wild Country Safari? You know, I went to that with my. I got to look up what all the things to do are. I went to my son, Damien.
Starting point is 00:09:48 and it was a really terrible experience. Yeah, you never talk about him. Yeah, the monkeys were going crazy. Yeah. Did they take him? No, they're just screaming and they're pounding on the car and everything. And, you know, we've had, it's been a weird time.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Like, we had a big party at our house. You know, we were out in the lawn and everything was going great. And then Damien's nanny, you know, got everybody's attention. I was at this party. She was up on the, like, the second floor. Yeah, she was like, Damien, this is for you. And we looked up and like, what is she doing? And then she was, well, it was not good.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Yeah. It was, it was crazy. I mean, it kind of was a party foul. It was a major party foul. Here's what's weird. I want to know so badly what you're referencing. And yet I don't. The first Omen movie.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Oh, by the way, San Diego Zoo, Safari Park, and Escondido offers a similar experience with open range habitats for large animals like giraffes, rhinos, antelopes. Really? Where's that? I'm going to say it again, San Diego Zoo Safari Park in Escondido. But San Diego Zoo in Eskandito. That sounds like it's another city. Eskandito is probably an adjoining part of San Diego County.
Starting point is 00:11:00 It's not Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, okay? It's not hard to understand. San Diego's Eskandito. Well, I'll look that up. I have to make a list of some fun. I'm not going to look it up for you. I'll make a list of some fun things to do and I'll do them all. How about that?
Starting point is 00:11:17 I like it. Thank you. Legolas. We're staying at an Airbnb that is walkable to the zoo, which I think should make that. Wow. It's enjoyable. Nice. They let you, by the way, if they let you ride any animal back to your Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Okay. Have you read the book? Good Night Guerrilla? I have. They love to go in the house. All those zoo animals going in the house. What? In the book, Good Night Guerrilla, which has very few words, but my kids love it.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I feel like we gave it away at this point, but it's, it was one of my favorites to read. Does it have more words than Good Night Gorilla? Not really. Good Night Lion, Good Night Giraff. But so the gorilla is walking behind the zookeeper. He steals his keys. And as the zookeeper says, goodnight to each animal, the gorilla unlocks their cage. And lets them out.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And they all walk in line back to the zookeeper's home and get in bed with his wife. And they rail the shit out of her. And he sits in a chair. He sits in a chair. And her eyes are just open. So you know what's happening. It's very funny I would always like try to juz it up a little bit
Starting point is 00:12:24 Like doing sound effects like Oh I don't do music As they were as they're following everyone I go like oh what's he doing Oh very very bad When she turns the lights on and the monkey sitting there The gorilla sitting there I go
Starting point is 00:12:37 Good sound effect It's pretty good It's pretty good I try to do when they all say good night in the dark I do Good night good night Good night. All the different voices.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Could you imagine if you're a child and your parent is not a performer, how much it would suck? It would be so boring as shit. We got a library card for Emmy the other day. I want to. So what? Oh, my God. So she said, I want to be like Paul. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I've actually been meaning to do this for four years. I haven't done it. Vote for president. You know, it was, in a way, I was like, we have so many books at home. No, but it's more fun. But it is more fun because one day we were looking for something to do. I said, you know, we could go to the library. It's a good activity, too, and it's free.
Starting point is 00:13:19 It's a good activity. It's very fun. And what is interesting about it is we let her pick, you know, out of the sections for kids' book, whatever books she wants. And then she becomes fascinated with these books for, like, that week where those are the books she wants to read. And she gets to know these books really well. And she, like, says, oh, no, you forgot this part if I skip over something intentionally to get fucking through this. Like the sex scenes. You know what I skipped?
Starting point is 00:13:46 Cover your eyes. I will skip like the golden books now have one for every movie that ever existed for kids. And she loves those, even though I have a huge collection of golden books for when I was a kid, which are all vintage and weird. She's not all that. Priceless. Yeah. She like isn't into all of those. Sometimes Holly likes them, but for the most part, no.
Starting point is 00:14:05 But she likes the ones where it's like Spidey and his amazing friends. And then I'm reading and it's like the amount of text. And so I'll just skim. I start saying like, oh, they're watching a movie. Oh, no. Here comes this bad guy. I'm like, I can't read paragraph after paragraph. Now Emmy will pick out a book and I'll have to flip through it and go.
Starting point is 00:14:21 And if it's too long, I just go, this is too long. Take it back. This one's too long. The Disney ones in particular, there's a section for Disney books. And in particular, it's some of those of like, oh, it's frozen. Well, because they sum up the whole movie. They make it not interesting, unfortunately. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:36 It's just like the bare bones, what happens. Is there any crossover? Like, does Spider-Man meet the pokey little puppy or any shit like that? No, they really. should do that. Yeah. They really should do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I actually have a whole box of kids' books. They shouldn't be. From what I said it. Okay. There's the Milky Way. There's Snickers. I have probably... Do you think there's a Snickers universe?
Starting point is 00:14:58 Galaxy. A hundred more books from my childhood that are in a box that I need to pull up and rotate out some of hers. Yeah, you got to rotate these in. I have one that I really loved that I'm curious if it holds up. And it was about this cat that steals a pack of markers from the store. Oh. And the guilt that it has. The guilt.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Oh, the guilt. Oh, my God. They should write a children's book about a cat that steals markers and then never feels guilt. It's a sociocat. Socio. Socio. I read that book, which I'm sure I mentioned here, a sociopath, which is about a, it's a, it's a memoir. Apollipa top of a female.
Starting point is 00:15:36 A female sociopath, because we don't hear enough about those. We don't hear enough about them with their. Tell me about it. We honestly think we just don't even really describe a lot of women as sociopaths, but we probably should do it more. There's a few that I could. Yeah. For sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:53 And then when you think. And there's a room. Lauren, by the way, was not giving it a patronizing laugh. She was realizing she was a social laugh with that. And that it's like, oh, I have to pretend. Oh, yeah. I don't feel anything for others. I never thought about that.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Isn't a while to think that we have met sociopath? Yeah. No, and I mean, I was trying to think about women that are sociopaths. You're trying to think about women? I couldn't think of one. I'm trying not to think about women for once. I can't, you know, it's hard. You mean, there are some public figures.
Starting point is 00:16:31 You definitely can go like, well, that person probably is. In your life, it's much easier to find men. But I think maybe women have different tells than men do. I think that's what it is. What are the tells that women have to? I don't know. I mean, this is just one woman's experience that I was reading. But I, and I don't know what her, she didn't say what she was, like, doing to trick people, you know, or whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:53 But I feel like. She had the self-awareness to write a book about the fact that, oh, now I know I'm a sociopath. Well, you know what's interesting is that she came on a podcast that I heard. Is that interesting? Yeah. If that was in the story, no. And she brought. It's sociopath week.
Starting point is 00:17:08 She brought specific gifts. Webster's Dictionary to find social. As she brought specific gifts for the host. If you've got a medical disorder, we like to have you on the show. She brought specific gifts for the host that were to their tastes and interests. And they were both so delighted. And I was like, that's part of it, babe. That's part of it.
Starting point is 00:17:29 She's being a sociopath. She's being manipulative in order to do it. Yeah. Yeah. And then I was like, that's interesting, actually, because they didn't see that. Maybe later they did. But they didn't say anything about it. And I just found that interesting because I was like, maybe that's,
Starting point is 00:17:43 that's more, maybe that's a treat for sociopaths we don't typically think of, where it's like they actually are, they know exactly how to play you. So if anyone gives you a gift, they're a sociopath? That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah, yeah. So think about all the birthday presents you got from your parents. Oh, no. Two sociopaths that found each other.
Starting point is 00:17:59 And made you. Not that far off. And they made you. I am reminded. Wait, what was that? I can't think of what it was. That was from a theme song or something. From the affair. Thank you. Oh, screaming.
Starting point is 00:18:12 I used to get up and do a whole performance to that for my parents. Of course you did. They loved that. Yeah, I don't know. We watched that together. Wasn't the final episode of the affair funny? I don't know why we were together. But my mom thought it was hilarious.
Starting point is 00:18:23 Trish. Yeah. Final episode where they're doing this. The dance. I don't remember that. Oh, my God. It's so funny. I love that show.
Starting point is 00:18:32 I watched the first two seasons and the thing with Janie. And the first season blows your mind. First season's great. Yeah. And then it goes off the rail so hard that when I can't, came back to seeing her watching it again. I was like, what is happening? She's like, it's the future.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Oh, right. The future, I forgot. Oh, I didn't like that. Yeah, and then we saw the ending together of him on the cliffside, the cemetery of the side, the cemetery close side, doing the dance. I don't remember the dance and I can't believe I don't remember this. He's an old man makeup. Flash mob, old man dance.
Starting point is 00:19:05 He's an old man makeup at a grave and that he starts. I'm positive I watched this and yet. Doing like a sort of tevibeye. You probably cried during. I probably did. You probably did. I'm reminded of one of two recurring nightmares that I had as a child. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:23 One was just your garden variety. I'm lost in a store and I can't find my mom. I can't get it. I'm lost in a store and can't get up. The other one, I am turning the corner into the whole. hallway that leads down to my bedroom, which is at the very end of the hallway, door facing out on the hallway. And stepping into the doorframe is a fucking gorilla. Good night, gorilla. And then it sees me and it stops. Does this guy see me? And he starts coming
Starting point is 00:20:04 towards me. And then I wake up. Thank God you wake up. Because if you didn't wake up in your dream, the gorilla would grab you. Yeah. And. have his way with you, let's be honest Hmm You don't think he's just going to whisper something in my ear Like Bill Murray at the end of Lost in Translation? No, I think he's... He's not going to be like, gorilla.
Starting point is 00:20:25 I remember I had a nightmare as a kid. I have two things. One was a nightmare that I made up. I remember telling my mom I had a nightmare about a witch and it wasn't true. Because he wanted sympathy? I wanted attention. Do you remember what it was?
Starting point is 00:20:36 I thought a witch was chasing me. I remember saying it. I remember where I was. You know what? Good one. Yeah. But then another one that I had that was. that was, I had a night terror
Starting point is 00:20:44 where apparently I was screaming bloody murder and saying they're in the walls. Oh. And my whole family came to my room because I was going insane in the middle of the night. But in my dream, I was laughing and thought it was, in my dreams, I was saying they're in the walls,
Starting point is 00:20:59 but it was funny. And so I was having like a funny dream in my head and I was going insane outside. That's wise. I don't understand that at all. It was really, I was in the eighth grade. Everyone ran the entire room because they were like... You're in the eighth grade.
Starting point is 00:21:15 What's going on? There's screaming bloody murder. Well, who's in the walls? Oh, come on. And who was in the walls that you found so funny? My friend's family. I remember it all. My friend's family!
Starting point is 00:21:28 That's not signs of being a sociopath. But you find it funny that your friend's family was trapped in the walls. I was having a funny dream and in real life it was scary. Wow. Isn't that life? Yes. Do you ever have nightmares? We're all just having a funny dream.
Starting point is 00:21:41 dream but actually it's scary yeah I had a nightmare the other night I mean he was lost and oh I was like oh shit how do I that's horrible yeah so not good it's horrible it sucks when you have like a cheating dream and then it's like you're you have all the logistics of that and you're like no and you're like I can oh now I'm in trouble it's like you have all these things and it's like I've had I've murdered someone dream and you go like well now I'm a murderer for the rest of my life, and I don't know how I can get through a single day without thinking about the fact that I've murdered this person. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:15 I don't know if I've had a dream where I've killed someone. What's the light train out of their eyes? Yeah, okay, so, so I don't think. I had that dream, but I didn't do it. Oh, I just happened to be there. You just hear a passive observing. I don't think I've, oh, light training. I don't think I've ever had a dream where I killed someone.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I've never had the dream where I've actually done it. I've just suddenly. You have the knowledge of having to know, the knowledge of, oh, I'm a murderer. I think I've had the dream where I have been where people thought I had done something like that Fugitive side And I had to like how can I tell people How can I make them understand?
Starting point is 00:22:48 And it was a one-armed man Yeah, I think I just saw the fugitive I think that's what it was. Oh, that's right. That wasn't a dream. I don't care. I don't care. Hey, guess what?
Starting point is 00:22:59 Asshole? I don't care. Would it have been better if he had said that? Or worse? Better like this? Or better like this? Here, I'm just giving you options. Should I?
Starting point is 00:23:08 watched that movie? Would that be enjoyable? I've watched it like twice and I and back when it came out and I thought it was like frustrating frustratingly bad in parts of it and then very watchable and good. Okay. In a lot of it. So probably like the firm which I recently saw.
Starting point is 00:23:24 The firm. Lauren is on her phone. I'm taking notes about the episode. We're going to take a break. We're going to take a break. But hopefully this dog grooming place has written her back. It's been a week. I would love for this to be resolved before the episode. I don't think they have. Okay. We're going to take a break and we're going to wait for
Starting point is 00:23:45 about three hours for them to respond. And for you, it'll just be a few minutes. You're going to hear an ad. Gorilla. The origins of this podcast were once just a dream. Remember that day? Yeah. I had a weird stream last night. What was it? I'll wake up you guys, take up you guys at a nightmare. Oh, no. That happened.
Starting point is 00:24:10 We started a podcast. Oh, no. Go back to sleep, honey. That'll never happen. That dream turned into the podcast and business you're listening to today. Taking your business to the next level is a dream, lots of us share, but too often it remains just a dream. We hold ourselves back thinking, what if I don't have the skills? What if I can't do it alone?
Starting point is 00:24:30 Turn those what ifs into why nots and help your business soar with Shopify. Shopify's point-of-sale system is a unified command center. I like the sound of that. For your retail business, it brings together in-store and online operations across up to 1,000 locations. Okay, imagine this, guys. Imagine being able to guarantee that shopping is always convenient. Oh, my God. Endless aisle, shipped to consumer and customer, buy online pickup in store, all made simpler so customers can shop how they want.
Starting point is 00:25:04 and staff have the tools to close that sale every single time. Lauren. Anyone else want to have anything they want to add? Yeah. I do want to say a little something about that because, let's face it, acquiring new customers is expensive. With Shopify POS, you can keep shoppers coming back with personalized experiences and first-party data that gives up marketing teams a competitive edge.

Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah. And I just go, well, as long as I wasted a pig. Nine out of ten of my t-shirts are devoted to bacon. Yeah. And two mugs. Have you seen that disgusting video where Ted Cruz wraps bacon around the nozzle of a rifle? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:14 And cooks it as he's shooting things. What? Yeah. It's like some kind of fucking machine gun. It's some kind of, uh, it's some kind of, uh, it's some kind of, uh, you know, semi-automatic. And it supposedly it cooks the bacon because the barrel is so hot.
Starting point is 00:31:29 He's just like, this is what a real man does. I think that is very sick. How? I think loving guns is a, is a mental illness. 1,000%. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:51 He's such a fucking dork. I can't believe. that even if you are, you absolutely hate the people that he espouses hate for, that you are saying, I got to vote for this guy. I dare you to say this to his face, though. Honestly, I think that I could. Wouldn't it be great if we were all, if we were all allowed one minute to say whatever we wanted to any politician.
Starting point is 00:32:16 If you all dep to say you're a fucking dork, that's actually pretty solid. You're a fucking dork. It's a miracle that anyone votes for you. no one likes you. Even the people that vote for you don't like you. But it's a miracle that they're able to swallow their own vomit. It's getting harder to say to him. In order to cast a ballot for you, if voting weren't anonymous,
Starting point is 00:32:40 you absolutely would not hold public office. I do like the Al Franken quote about him. I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz. I'm sorry I feel bad that I make you self-conscious I hate to be conscious about myself I'd prefer to be Isn't that the truth?

Starting point is 00:33:27 the teleprompter or you didn't know how to say the name you're going to say? First of all, I would clear it before I went on stage. Well, I definitely would try to do that too but he had a brain fart and he didn't know.

Starting point is 00:34:08 I think you could hear that. The wickedly talented. A tippa-da-a-da-tip-da-da. He would have gotten away with that. I would say, here's what I would do. He would have got the perfect crime. So wickedly talented. You all know who she is.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Let's say it together. I think like, I think for her. I bet in the moment that felt bad because she's about to have her big moment. But then later it's just funny. Was she singing? It's just gold. They both have to think it's funny. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I wonder if she thinks it's funny. I bet they're friends now. I think she had a hat that had it on it. Oh, that's great. Yeah. I think she's in it. I think she's down. Oh, I would...
Starting point is 00:34:49 Oh, she's DTF. I would love it for him. She's down to clown about that. If somebody garbled my name that badly, I would honestly love it forever. But people garble your name every day. And they're not that bad. When they're garbling balls. It's the same garbole.
Starting point is 00:35:02 Garbling balls. Barbling balls. Garbling balls. Work the chef, garble the balls. Work the chef. Garble the balls. What were we saying when we were doing So let's just Sloan for 10 minutes?
Starting point is 00:35:28 Do you remember we like? I didn't remember doing that. It's a long time ago. We were imitating it for like 10 minutes. Just saying various things. Garp to garb of the balls. That's not even a good. Wow.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I don't know who that was. I was trying to. I had somebody in my throat. That was more of Bill Paxton. Hey. We're, work the shaft play with the ball
Starting point is 00:35:50 now I'm doing buddy have you ever have you ever presented at an award show or anything like that I have I hosted
Starting point is 00:36:02 presented I don't remember how much I actually was I think I was hosting the Hair and Makeup Guild Awards one time with Timothy Amundsen goes to hair and makeup
Starting point is 00:36:13 and it was fun I know Timothy Amundsen I think he's very nice. He's very sweet. And have I done it? And you know what else? He's wickedly talented.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Yeah. He is. I think that's maybe the only time. Have you? I hosted the local, not the local news. Was it the local news Emmys? I can't remember. And I quickly found out that they were not interested in anything I had to say in any of my jokes and just wanted to know if they won awards.
Starting point is 00:36:42 Yeah. But a fun award show. You get one. You get one? You get one. Then I... If I read your name, come up and get one. I presented at the creative art semis with one of the Rosolian Isles people, and she was very cool.
Starting point is 00:37:00 They were from the Rosolian Isles? I grew up in the Rosolian Isles. No, it is Rosolian Isles. Oh, I grew up in that Richelian Isleon. And then I presented with Sarah Silverman at... Sarah Silverman Awards? No, what award show was at? It was at the Beverly Hills thing.
Starting point is 00:37:17 And I remember, I remember we had a really funny bit and got a lot of laughs. And then the person who won, we realized in the moment that he had fired us both from jobs. And we had to sit there, sit there smiling while listening to his speech. And then he corrected our joke. Wow. In his acceptance speech? In his acceptance speech. This was the guy who worked at who managed Coldstone Creamery.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Yeah, of course. Yeah. I could never quite figure out how to pound. that ice cream the right way. Honestly, the second I hear that is the name. Oh, you care, that was the song. Yeah. I think I got to have some right now.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Cold Zone? Yeah. Do they still have them around? Yeah, they do. Really? I think I've only ever been to one once. Oh, I love it. I get chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cups mashed in.
Starting point is 00:38:03 So if you've never been to a Cold Stone creamery, what it is is you go to this place and they take. I don't know what this is. I don't know where it is. I've only, I live in Los Angeles. Well, but there's got to have been chains of this. If you've never been to 7-11. Like different, even different style. styles. You're equating cold stone
Starting point is 00:38:19 fucking creamery. There was seven and eleven. Always right next door to each other. Remember there was marble slab? That was another one. No. I've never heard of the trend. That's vaguely familiar. Coldstone, marble slab. These were different ones doing different things on the same.
Starting point is 00:38:32 There's no one who's never heard of Coldstone. I don't need to explain this. You don't remember freezing plank? Here, why don't you try to describe it if you think you'd. You would go into this place. You'd hopefully have money. American currency. And you'd order ice cream and they'd say, do you want some mix-ins?
Starting point is 00:38:54 And then they would scoop out the ice cream onto a big cold thing. Slab, marble slab. And then they would sit there with ice stone, kneading the mix-ins into the ice cream. They use a little flat sort of metal tool that's kind of like what you would scrape off the ice. So they can get all, they get it all clean off the marble slab and they mix it around and then they'd put it in a thing. And anytime I would go there, I'd be like, why don't I have to wait fucking five minutes for this ice cream? Here's what I want.
Starting point is 00:39:21 And there's a giant line out the door and it's because it takes so long. Why is it faster? What's faster? To just go to an ice cream store and they scoop it out without the... But the toppings on top where they all fall off your cup? No thanks. Tired of this. What if I didn't get toppings?
Starting point is 00:39:36 I want the toppings mixed in. And I want it today. I want it in the ice cream already mixed in. I want it now. I think I have to get my own marble sloth. This is only a solution. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:47 What if your whole house is made out of marbles? Or the black box. Okay. Okay. Have you ever been black box ice cream? You hear secrets? It's the safest ice cream. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:39:58 It's protected. It protects your ice cream like nobody's business. Is a black box just recording? Yeah. It's all it is. It's recording. Yeah, yeah. And it survives anything.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Yeah. That's why pilots, a lot of pilots will do their, like, their song demos on there. Yeah. Why don't they do like, why don't they do like, why don't they do like, They build a whole plane out of the black box. Well, it looks like we are, we're no longer receiving instructions from the tower. I got to ask, is that a thought you just had for real? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:25 Is that a thought people say all the time? That is the. I'm sure I've heard it a hundred times. It's the platonic ideal of the hack comedy joke. Well, look, I came to it on my own, so what does that say? It itself has become a hack comedy joke. So it's almost like I came up with it by myself. It's almost like I made it up.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Yeah, sure. No, I'm sure I've heard it a hundred times And it's just in my head I don't think I came up Like Coldstone Creamery Sorry about that I wasn't to get all mad at me Like the time that I thought
Starting point is 00:40:55 I didn't really know about JFK's Conspiracy theories Did you not know about JFK You taught me about it Utah Or Watergate You didn't know what that was I only knew a little
Starting point is 00:41:07 I don't really care Yeah Just get over it I actually have a lot of intelligence In different areas not to have any impact on the future whatsoever. So why do you need to know about water? I don't.
Starting point is 00:41:20 Who gave a shit? Why do you know about this Civil War? I saw the movie Dick. It proved to not be a problem. Yep. Yeah. Dieck. This is the movie Dick.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Dieck. Starring Dan Hediah as Richard Nixon. Oh, I just saw him in Adventures of Buccaroo Bonsai. Oh, of course. I was like, everyone in that is a future star. Was he John Big Boutet? He's not Big Boaté. that's that's Christopher Lloyd but that's right and who is uh what is John Lithgow's character
Starting point is 00:41:48 Dr. Lizardo was he the dad and clueless yes yes he was is it fun to watch that movie again it's great I think I remembered it being fun it was like really silly I like and all the the production design is is is is it's cheaply made but the production design is so fun it's top notch yeah have you seen the video of Peter Weller talking about how his his family calls him Squidward no because of is that a sponge bob reference yeah because of his general demeanor they're like this is you it's really it's really funny to be dragged like that by one's own family yeah oh i don't know do you know the robo wants orio story no what's this robo wants oreos tell us tell us paul tell us paul we want to hear the robo It's Oreo story.
Starting point is 00:42:40 This is a guy who is like maybe a sound guy or something on Robocop. And he's like micing, you know, Peter Well is in the Robocop costume. Yeah. And so he's getting, he's getting miced. Why didn't they build the mic into the Robocop costume? That's a good question. That's a good question. Maybe they did.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Maybe they did. But can you imagine like trying to smooth down the Robocop costume so that you can't see the wires and the bumps? So he is You know, he's getting wired And he sees that the sound guy has like a stack of Oreos Next to him like on the card or whatever And he just says
Starting point is 00:43:23 Robo wants Oreos Yeah And the sound guy goes, no, I'm not going to give you any my Oreos What? And he's like, Robo wants Oreos He's like, I'm not going to do it I don't understand the sound guy's point of view He turns because I think they're fucking bad
Starting point is 00:43:38 Or whatever. Okay. So Peter Weller, like, turns to, he's like on some balcony or something and, like, turns to the entire set and just screams, Robo wants Oreos! He would not proceed until he was getting Oreo. I could really go for like a cookies and cream on a marble slab with Oreos mixed. I hate cookies and cream. I love cookies and cream. I wish I liked it. Eat, what? Dick. I have to say we got some gargle and good.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Gargle, garble, garble, my balls. I want you to gargle, go, Google. I want you to garble my balls. Gaggle, Google, guggle, Google, and gobble. What did you get? We got some vanilla ice cream because Emmy loves vanilla ice cream, but then she wants like three chocolate chips and some sprinkles on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Okay, but then we had some Oreos, and I crushed some Oreos over the ice cream, and I have to say, if there was a Coldstone creamery kind of situation where I could have mixed it in better because it was all on the top. Yeah. This is what I'm talking about, but you know what I'm getting excited about, now buying cartons of ice cream and all kinds of mixins because normally what i buy i typically buy good pop brand um ice cream bars and sandwiches and popsicles they're all very good and they're low calorie and they're delicious mixins fixins treats and tricksans who will come and play with
Starting point is 00:45:01 me oh no we unlocked the doll regardless i could use a little crazy i found the clip I found the clip. Of what? Of the story. I found the clip of the story. When we were in Minnesota, Pennsylvania, shooting the steel mill. Peter's upstairs. We're up two or three floors.
Starting point is 00:45:20 You had to go upstairs to get to him. We had an explosion behind him. We'd make the explosion hot, ready to go. I went upstairs and I was carrying, I don't know, about eight Oreos. I don't know. I'd hand him his weapon. I'd say, Peter, safety's off. And he wouldn't take the pistol.
Starting point is 00:45:39 And he says, Robo wants an Oreo. No, the time we go, no. It's just you and I, Peter. Robo doesn't get an Oreo. Peter wants an Oreo. Peter can have an Oreo. He clipclops in the suit over to the edge of the railing, and Peter starts bellowing.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Robo, what's an Oreo? And when the steel mill just echoes, Randy has Oreos or Robo what's an Oreo? And Steve Lim, over the radio, goes, Randy, do you have Oreos? So I stuffed that whole stack in my mouth. and then crunched them and let them fall down
Starting point is 00:46:12 three stories on to everybody below me and not anymore and Robo got upset I haven't got a damn clue about Randy Moore in his fucking orio Randy Moore's a friend
Starting point is 00:46:28 but half the time I don't know what the hell he's talking about so he's got all these stories from Robocop I don't remember him Steve Lim's going can we get the shot And then Robo can have an Oreo.
Starting point is 00:46:40 And Peter said no. So they had to cut. They were rolling. They were ready to go. Now we're hot on the explosion. They send a PA up the stairs. They feed him an Oreo. And now he's got Oreo on his teeth.
Starting point is 00:46:54 So then the PA has to pick the Oreos out of his teeth. And then he says, okay, I'm ready. And then we shot it. Is this part of Robodoc? I don't fucking know, man. So I had a gentleman that worked with me. His official title I didn't realize it was still going on.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Peter feeder. Peter feeder. Because that's what the crew called him as the Peter feeder because for some reason weapons had to feed Peter Oreos. Randy. Love you badly.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Don't believe one fucking word out of your mouth. Okay, well, I love these guys. If he is making all of this up. I love it either way. Either way. And if he's not,
