The people let me tell you about the online cannabis company
that's revolutionizing how we deal with life's challenges
from sleepless nights to stress-filled days.
Mood.com has created an entire line of functional gummies
that target specific health concerns
with 100% federally legal THC blends.
They deliver them discreetly,
the case you're surrounded by squares,
right to your doorstep.
And you can get 20% off your first order at mood.com
with promo code freedom.
I've tried a bunch of their gummies of myself.
And I gotta tell you, it's wild how different each one feels.
Their sleepy time gummies knock me out in about 15 minutes flat.
No hangovers, no groginess.
I wake up feeling amazing.
And they're epic euphoria gummies.
Oh, they're perfect for those days and nights.
when nothing's going right
and you just need to hit the re-sip
button on your, frankly,
crap mood.
What makes these different is how they paired
THC and other cannabinoids
with herbs and adaptogens.
You're not just going to find
gummies like this in a dispensary
or anywhere
for that matter.
And they have gummies for literally everything,
immune support, menopause relief,
PMS symptoms, mental clarity,
sexual.
arousal. And each one is crafted using federally legal cannabis grown on small family-owned
American farms. No pesticides. No BS. You can look up what that stands for. And they can ship
to most states in the U.S. Best of all, not only does mood stand behind everything with an industry
leading 100, I'm assuming everything they make, with an industry leading 100-day satisfaction
guarantee. But as I think you'll recall, I mentioned, my listeners, Paul if
Tompkins's listeners, get 20% off their first order with code
freedom. So here's what I'd like you to do. For yourself, not for me,
head to mood.com, browse their amazing selection of functional gummies and
find the perfect gummy for whatever you're dealing with. And remember to use
promo code Freedom at checkout to save 20% on your first order. I'll see you

Freedom!
That's glorious.
Is that your favorite kind of cough drop?
Oh, my favorite.
I haven't had a cough drop in a really long time.
Yeah, I have.
I have.
I have had a long time.
I've had, well, you know, these aren't exactly cough drop.
I guess, but they're vitamin C drops
that Halls makes that are tasty and good
give you a daily dose of vitamin C.
And I've also had recolas
that are...
How long...
Yeah, the purple ones. Yeah. Last couple months.
Last couple months. Mike loves cough drops.
I didn't know Rico... He does.
I don't know... Do you think he'd like a hard candy,
like a butter candy?
A butter candy? I don't think he'd like that.
Why do you think he would like a butter scotch?
No. And I actually, I hate
butter scotch and I think he does...
No! I'm so sorry!
Butter and scotch.
I love buttered scotch.
I love the word butterscotch.
Yeah.
I actually don't even like the word.
Wow.
I actually hate the word.
What if it was scotch butter?
Even worse.
What about butter milk?
What if it was Sean Connery and it was scotch butter?
And you're talking about you and your butt.
What if it was scott butter?
It was all my diarrhea.
All right.
Hi, Paul.
Stupid.
Do you guys mind if I go?
I do as a matter of fact.
I wouldn't mind.
welcome to
freedom I'm Scott
I'm Paul
I'm laughing
I'm about Scott Butter
my name is Lauren
and we're three people
on this earth
yeah and that's it
that's right
are you one
we come from the earth
we will go back to the earth
you know what I got
how it into this summer
oh what's the Bible
yes and we're reading
every page
every page
E.T
oh my gosh
she was the
what to
Phone home.
She loves E.T.
We watched it about five times within the first week of introducing it.
And she received a lot of E.T.
stuff for her birthday.
Now, previously, she's had E.T.
stuff.
She didn't know what the fuck was going on.
Exactly. She didn't know.
And then when we watched it, she's like, that's like my robe.
You can't spell exactly without E.T.
It's like my robe.
Yeah.
Does she like the guns or the Wokitokie Tockeys?
Which version?
You know what?
I think we watched.
Wow, I actually can't remember.
Does she like the gun show?
I don't know if I noticed what happened.
I saw that.
I think it was the guns.
Didn't they put him back in?
Yeah, they put the guns back in.
Yeah.
It was scary.
You know, ET.
Like, what are we doing?
Kids can see guns.
They're all over the fucking place.
She's young for ET, but we talked through every part of it.
Like, oh, my gosh.
Is ET like a Leo DiCaprio?
Because it's very.
That's no, it would be the other one.
Can you imagine E.
E.T.
on the Titanic raft or on whatever.
It wasn't it an iceberg?
Well, it was like a chunk of wood.
Well, honestly, E.T would not do well in that scenario.
I don't think he would.
It was a door.
It was a big door.
It's a big door.
All he's got to do is just, like, send a telepathic signal to his, like, UFO, and then it comes down.
Well, he was trying to do that.
He needs a whole gadget.
Also, what if he made it fly?
He couldn't telepathically summon them.
But can I just say, having, like, watching it with her.
Yeah.
You kind of realize, like, okay, there's that part where he's almost dead where he's, or he basically is dead.
He's, like, laying face down in the water.
It's so sad.
He looks like the old dog shit.
It's really bad.
They don't have anymore.
And then.
Old white dog shit.
Yeah, yeah.
And then, what do you mean they don't have any way?
I don't, you don't see that anymore.
People, yeah.
I'm glad you got there
such a fast amount of time.
You got there.
What are you talking about?
Oh, yeah,
you're,
because people pick up dog shit now
and we don't have white dog shaming.
People pick it up.
And Harvey Milk was one of the first people
to popularize that.
Well,
apparently.
Interesting.
But so I just want to say
the part where he's in the like hospital
situation where,
you know,
it's like those people inspecting him.
That's like half the movie.
He's like,
beep,
beep.
Is it really?
It's so,
It's like a solid 30 minutes of not more.
I should rewatch that movie.
I have not seen it since it came out.
My parents watched it with us and they like loved it.
It was like,
you know what I mean?
We haven't watched it since we were.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I should see that.
You know what else?
I'm weirdly,
I keep thinking I have to rewatch even though I don't believe that I enjoyed it.
Hmm.
Is Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Oh my God.
I haven't seen it since I was in Sacramento opening night.
I think now that I do not have an expectation for it,
I think I would enjoy the vivid.
visuals of it more.
Right, yeah.
And you're expecting, like, this is going to be a good movie.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't know anything about it.
Now it could just be a fun thing to watch.
But, yes, I would like to see that.
I mean, and Megalopolis.
I'm okay with that.
I don't need to see that.
You don't need to see Megalopolis?
I don't think so.
I've heard people talk about it, and I could see the appeal of seeing it, but I'm not
quite there.
I'm like, I could give that a miss.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know what that is.
It's his latest, Francis Forcapola's latest.
movie i think he spent a hundred and some odd million dollars of his own money wow that's investment
from his wine from his wine which i've had and it's good it's good is it's good really his wine is
his wine is good it's a it's a definite solid bring it to a get-together kind of 100% 100% very drinkable
good table water very drinkable very delicious um you know i was listening to jacqueline novac and
caperlance podcast and they were talking about a movie that for a very long time that's
like they were saying like all this stuff about how like it's so great and da da da and I missed
what the title was and I just simply there was no context clues they never said it again yeah
so by the way we were just talking about both E.T. and Bram Stoker's Dracula if you were wondering
yeah yeah yeah thank you no I don't think it was and what were they saying about it maybe
we could that it was like something about social awkwardness something of the times you know
it was a lot but it wasn't about friendship because I think they've already talked about it
Maybe the wrong Missy.
They probably were talking about me.
That was like a big movie of the Times.
Yeah, I think it was the graduate.
There's a lot of awkward moments in the graduate.
Yeah.
Well, like, it's awkward that that lady wants to fuck him.
That's so young.
Awkward.
Random.
Random.
That's a little weird.
Can we talk?
This is breaking news today.
It'll be old news by the title.
It'll be old news.
Because this episode will come out two weeks after it happened.
Yes.
But the people- By the way, I became a beeping asshole myself yesterday.
No, what happened?
I was backing out of my driveway and there was a truck blocking my driveway and it very nicely moved out of my way.
And I need to make a like three-point turn to get to drive down the street.
And I made two of the three points and then the truck started like moving back to where it was.
And I honked like, hey, you're going to hit me.
and it stopped.
To be fair, it might have been moving too forward, but I don't know.
But then I noticed it was our landscapers, and I felt really bad.
But that's not rude to honk.
It's like you're basically saying, hello.
But a real car horn.
You weren't like leaning on the horn.
No, I wasn't, but a real car horn just sounds rude, no matter what you do.
It does, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Have you ever tried to, by the way, I tried doing the just tapping.
Yes, when you try to do it doesn't work on our car.
And sometimes nothing comes out.
Sometimes something comes out very frustrated because you're like, I don't want to, I can't give it full force.
But the light has changed and you need to go.
But I really felt like, boy, isn't this ironic that here I was complaining on a podcast about two beeping assholes.
Yeah.
And I've become one myself.
Well, what bothers you is what you see.
He was technically a beeping asshole.
Yeah.
What bothers you and others.
I know is the thing that I see in myself.
You know, people say that though.
And I go, I don't know about that.
Accusation is projection.
But I had to.
And I always do say, give a friendly greeting to everyone who was around.
here, but I, I, I did give, when I came back, I gave like a, hi, like a maybe extra friendly,
like, I want to say, I love you.
And he, and, and to his credit, he gave me the friendly greeting back.
There we go.
Everything was fine.
I'm sure everything was fine.
He knew.
He knew, like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, so.
Well, what were you going to say about your, uh, problems and others?
No, no, what, why did I, what I, why.
Is that what you're going to talk about?
Your problems and others.
Problems in others.
the things that bother you and someone else are a reflection of yourself.
The first time I ever heard that theory, I mean, since the first time I've heard that theory,
I do like do a mental checklist of things.
Yeah. If something bothers me, I'm like, is this because I do that?
Did I do that? Or I have a similar behavior or something. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's great when it's no. It's like, you know what? No. I just don't think that's good. I just don't like that. I feel, I feel able to go,
I'm obviously jealous and that's why I'm feeling that way or something. Like I can usually
quickly pull out and see that.
I'm quick to see jealousy.
Yeah.
But another thing that's nice is when you say,
yes, I am jealous because I think I'm better than that person.
Yeah, yeah.
Yes, I'm jealous, but also that's really annoying.
Yeah.
Or whatever the thing is.
But I tend to, by the way, I'm sorry.
Hey, man, that's cool.
No, and I want to interrupt you.
I'm sorry.
On this subject, I am, I'm glad that I'm able to now say, like,
I am jealous, but that's the way life works is,
Yes.
We all get different opportunities.
Yeah.
It's very true.
And I'm not like back when you first start, you're like,
God.
Some people get the same opportunities over and over and over again.
Yeah.
They get bigger and better opportunities.
And that happens.
That's just part of life.
Yeah.
So what did I interrupt you with my beeping asshole thing?
My beeping asshole is me.
Ah, yeah, you did it.
This happened this morning.
We were treated to this video.
it's the CEO
and is
the chief of HR
officer
having an affair
at a cold play concert
and being caught on the Jumbotron
really amazing
what's so
what's so fucked up about it is
this was you know what we're talking about
obviously video was captured
of the CEO of some like
some billionaire was caught
having an affair
was playing for this company right
that's no no it was no it was
No, it was a real concert,
but I think they've incorporated a kiss cam into their concert
where they go around the...
Weird!
Yeah.
Don't do that.
No.
I mean, you got to fill the time, right?
I think it's fine.
Find what?
To have a kiss cam.
Have a kiss cam?
You don't have to kiss just because you're on a cam.
Then what are we doing?
We're just like, here's somebody.
Here's somebody else.
Who cares?
Let's take the kissing out of kiss cams and just have cams.
Cams.
Yes.
Let's just call them crowd cams.
Crowd cams.
Crowd cams.
Here's someone else.
Here's someone else.
Although people are so excited.
I was just at a Dodger game.
We took Emmy to her first Dodger game.
And people are so excited to be caught on the cam.
Can I say?
So,
but here's the thing.
There's a lot of downtime at a baseball game.
Yeah.
So, of course, I've loved the kids.
I love any kind of,
now we're going to show a bunch of kids and they're going to lose their fucking minds
that they're on a camera.
Now we're going to do the cups where, you know, there's a Dodger hat underneath the cup.
By the way, they've made that too hard.
well also it's not it's digital so yeah it's not like a human being doing it's not true they could put
the ball wherever they want yeah but it used to be you could follow it reasonably yeah right
and now it's like they turn it upside down now there's eight caps now there's fucking one of the
caps you know explodes one of the caps it turns into a different cap yeah one of the two the caps
start making out now that's well that's a kiss cam that's gross it's distracting cap can that's against
nature um but i i do love the kiss cam i love seeing people you love the kiss cam now this is i just
feel like a concert okay i even like it by the way about the concert doesn't stop down for a while
right you know what you know yeah like we need to fill time it's not like m night chamon's trap
where it's like hey we need to change all the sets over for the next hour i got to see that movie
i really want to see that movie but yeah imagine if like after a cole play song it it just stopped
they were just like wandering around the stage for a little bit, like practicing.
Ding, ding, ding, what key is this in?
I do like on a kiss cam when it's, they get like three in a row of people going like,
oh, and having a big kiss, and then they catch two people and they wave it off going,
no, we're brother and sister.
Always funny. Always funny. It's great. It is funny.
I also love the, they do the Lion King Cam, where people lift up their pets or babies.
That's funny.
It's fucking great.
Barga the park is so good
So what's that?
That's when you bring your dogs
To Dodgers?
Yeah so there's a certain section
Where you can bring your dogs
Chaos
I was there at a
Random sections
We went on a day where
V-tubers were
What's a V-tuber?
So as I understand it
And I apologize
I haven't done a deep dive into this
But there are these
entertainers called V-tubers
Who
film using avatars
covering their faces of like anime characters and you never see their actual faces.
I never.
I heard that...
What about when they're taking off the face?
I heard that it's older men pretending to be young women, but then I said that to someone
who knows a little bit more about it the other day and they went, you got to go more than
the face.
Yeah.
No, I'd buy it.
No, it's more that it's their entire body.
They're covered with these anime characters.
So they...
What's up, guys?
It's me, sexy Jessica.
But then it's all like, are you ready?
Let's go!
But apparently very popular last year, so they did it again.
What do they do in the guys of these?
In the game, they just basically are like,
come on Dodgers fans, let's cheer.
So it's on the screen or something?
It's on the screen.
Are you ready to play ball?
But then there are a million, not a million.
Show me what this looks like.
It sounds terrible.
I'm picturing men with women's heads using fake high voices.
I'm going to show you...
It's not good.
I mean, he made...
Google image in that way for search,
but it's stuff like this.
Oh, I do like this.
It's like little...
Oh, well, that I like.
It's just...
It's like full-on sailor moon looking.
Oh, well, that's good.
Yeah.
I was picturing it being kind of like a head on a body.
I meant not what do they do during the Dodgers game,
but what do they do in general?
Why are they there?
Who are you asking someone that doesn't care about this?
You know what I mean?
Like, you and I shouldn't know about these things.
No, I know, but you seem to know about it.
I barely should know about it.
I'm not alive to.
I should barely know about this.
I'm saying I went to this game and I'm confused by the whole thing.
And then I see a selection of fans all dressed.
And it's one of the hottest days of the year.
Okay, man.
Okay, man.
I thought you had more information than you have.
That's all the information I have.
I don't know what they do.
Let's Google them.
Let's Google them.
Let's Google them.
I'll tell you what Wikipedia says.
They're an online entertainment who uses a virtual avatar generated using computer graphics.
They're one.
person?
It says they're an online
entertainer.
V-Tuber is an online entertainer.
Oh, it's a type of person. I thought this was like a
name of a group or something.
No, the first entertainer to use the
phrase virtual YouTuber
Kazuna Al
I don't know.
I don't give a shit.
It might be.
This is too stressful. I think we have to move on.
In any case, there were people dressed up
like these characters all throughout the Dodger game, which
found very weird wearing physical costumes yes wearing physical costumes on a super hot day that we
were so uncomfortable there cosplay knows no temperature and you want to dress up like that you want
to dress up like that you'll walk around in the fucking hundred degrees just like a sexy sailor moon
cold play knows no temperature that's why it got so hot and by the way if you saw your lover on the
cold play kiss cam with someone else your your husband your husband if you saw your wife if you saw
cool up if i saw cool up on the cold if i was at the
actual show if you were if i saw cool play at the cold cam what if you were if you saw cool up
on the cold play kiss cam as a meme yeah kissing someone else that would be sad it would be
very sad for me yeah because in california you have to split up your earnings 50 50
she wouldn't deserve it they were both married they were she's put in the time yeah but then she
did this shit i guess i'm relieved to hear that it was not like a
company event because
my feeling was
because both these people
both these people are married and
that you're sort of
Oh she was as well I thought he had a wife and care
No no no they both were and the idea that
You're just going to do that in front of people
Yeah
And make them sort of complicit
In your affair
Exactly it's so gross
Yeah
The whole thing is gross but
The reaction was very funny
Because he tried to basically do the walking down the stairs
Yeah he like went down
Somebody said he should have started doing the Heimlich immediately.
Yeah.
His arms wrapped around her.
Right.
I want to know what alibi they told their spouses about where they were that night.
Oh, yeah.
Before the meme came out?
Yeah.
Like, oh, I'm just going out with some girls.
Like, whatever.
Because you can't, as an alibi, you can't say, oh, I'm going to a cold play concert.
Because then your wife goes, well, I want to go.
Yeah.
And he's worth $1.3 billion.
It's like he, it's not like he can say, oh, we can't get a babysitter.
Let me tell you something.
Wives.
love cold play he's worth a billion dollars you can't you think you're going to get away from
the wife by saying you're going to see cold play no no no wife goes when you hear those
pianos yeah oh you're in dinkle dong dinkle don't when the one guy
when the one guy don't dinkle don't dinkle don't dinkle dinkle dinkle um dinkle um and the one guy's
um and the one guy's hitting a bell like the guy from and or yeah that makes me laugh so
much when they play that song because none i mean pretty obviously none of
them are actually playing their instruments.
It's just all the backing track.
Really?
To see the guy is just hitting the bell.
That's crazy.
Do you think the name and or came from that thing of like and slash or when you're writing
something?
Yeah, of course.
Definitely.
Of course it did.
And it stuck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was like, do I call this person Fred and or Charlie?
Wait, what about and or?
Hi, Fred Charlie.
I mean, on Star Wars, it wouldn't be that weird, right?
Fred Charlie's a good Star Wars day.
Fred Charlie.
He got you two, Fritjali.
Did you watch Andor?
Now that you're a Star Wars head?
No.
The one good Star Wars thing?
I haven't seen it.
It's really good.
I actually just don't know.
I'll have to watch it.
You'll have to watch it.
I'll have to watch it.
It's good just as a TV show.
And I would say for Star Wars skeptics, perhaps, there is a, it's not as
Pew, Pew, Pew.
yeah it's much more about the drama and the story you know it's pretty crazy but there's enough
pew-poo-poo in there yeah especially about politics oh there's so many weird guys I love it
having done newcomers about Star Wars I felt like you know at the time we like watched everything
and then to know it just keeps coming out just keeps going that's a thing and that's a hard thing
because I don't know how to catch up on that without being financially compensated yeah you
you really did an and or one thing make it on this show okay and
An Andor report.
An Andor report where every episode you watch one episode of Andor and you take five minutes to tell us what you thought.
I'll see if I'm going to watch a trailer and I'll see if it's something that I think I might enjoy.
Or we could just bullshit for an hour like we normally do.
Well, I definitely want to do that.
There's a great little robot who has PTSD.
I love that.
Yeah.
See, I want the robots to suffer like us.
Yes.
Thank you.
They should have problems.
This guy is a nervous wreck.
Yeah, they should have real problems.
I've seen nervous robots before.
No, this guy has like separation anxiety.
Nervous to be around Darth Vader or nervous to be around stormtroopers.
Sure.
Or like a hot girl.
Yeah, exactly.
The Star Wars Christmas special has a really horny part with Chewbacca's grandpa or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
Who like puts on a porn goggles and like surf off.
His name is like sticky or something.
He's got like a dumpy.
I haven't seen it since the night to premiered.
Dumpy and he puts on porn goggles and like watches like a sexy Chewbacca.
lady or something or some maybe it's not even Chewbacquette's like a sexy lady and he's a humanoid lady. And he's
like yeah, it's weird. I tried, I found a copy of it and I tried watching it maybe 10 years or so
ago like, oh yeah, I watched this the night. I was so, you know, into it the night. I hated it
afterwards other than the Bova Fed part, but I turned it on for like four minutes and Art Carney was
there and I was just like this fucking, I'm going to watch an hour of this and just turned it off.
Yeah, it's crazy. So I don't remember that. That's the part I do remember.
skip ahead to where they all come in super high yeah all the real people all the real star
who is like missing during it is it someone's missing that they're trying to help them
reunite with someone i got a text alert on my phone about it but arson farb just missing
on the star wars life day special um we have to take a break
let me tell you something when you're talking about small things
there's nothing small about starting your own
business. What do I know about it? I'm just a dumb comedian. Well, guess what? I sell things to people
who are dumb enough to like my comedy. And that means I got to do businessy stuff that I never thought
I would have to do and that I was scared of, quite frankly. But because I care, because they care,
I figured out a good way to do it. Shopify. Shopify is the commerce platform that gets what
running a small business is life because Shopify was once one too.
Did you know that?
I wish there was a prequel ad.
Hit that to-ching.
Shopify is the commerce platform behind millions of businesses around the world
and 10% of all e-commerce in the U.S.
from household names like Mattel, Barbie Much, and Jim Shark,
go to the gym in the ocean much, to brands just getting started.
Now look, I'm setting up a store for my,
Varietopia variety show.

do. No, seriously. Quince has the good stuff. High quality fabrics, classic fits and lightweight

compliment me on nonstop. It's from Quince. It's from Quince. I've also bought some crib sheets from
Quince, they're wonderful. I've gotten some toddler socks from Quince. You know, I just,
I just buy stuff all over the place on that website. Well, Quince has closet staples you'll
want to reach for over and over like cozy cashmere, I call it cashmere, and cotton sweaters

those early fall days when the temps can go from freezing to broiling in a matter of hours.

So, yeah, it always felt to me more like it was supposed to represent Thanksgiving.
Yeah, because it came out on November 17th of 17th of 1978.
Yeah, because it came out,
represent it in 1978.
Right.
That's why I think it represents Thanksgiving.
Yeah, exactly, yeah.
Oh, my God, look at mom and just sent me this picture of Holly when she was a baby.
Whoa.
Oh, my God.
So funny because you think your kids are just all, you know, like when you're at that age,
you're just like you're just that you're just that but then you go back and look at old pictures of them and you're like i don't even recognize this anymore i know i can't believe that was you yeah so cute so cute
yeah the cats and the cradle and the silvers food a little boy booed the man in the mood oh when you're coming on that i don't know when but we'll have a good time then so you know we'll have a good time then
Do you think that was autobiographical?
It's so strange to put someone on blast like that in a song.
That's like some Taylor Swift shit.
Hey, Dad, listen to my new song.
Oh, by the way, it's going to go number one.
And you're going to have to hear it.
It's going to become part of the pop culture conversation.
Did you ever see that TikTok where it's Beyonce playing lemonade for Jayzie the first time?
Oh.
It's like it starts out.
It's just the same guy playing.
Both, same guy playing both parts.
This is like sitting at a computer and he presses a button and then, you know, in the doorway is Jay-Z and he's like bopping along to it like great.
And then it's the lyrics start to change.
And then the guy's just staring.
It's really, it's really funny.
If you're Beyonce and you say, you know what, I'm not going to forgive you, Jay-Z.
Who do you date after that?
I think, go back to J-A.
Because, yeah, that's a good point.
Start off the beginning of the J-L-E-L-E.
I mean, you know, she could date anyone in the entire world.
I know, but.
You know what?
The answer is right in front of us, obviously.
Pete Davidson.
Oh, I'm sorry, of course.
Having a baby, it's reported.
He is having a baby.
It's reported.
Let's not spread and misinformation.
We've heard perhaps.
Reportedly.
She's fathered a child.
She posted about it?
Now people know we've had sex.
Oh, okay.
That's what his partner posted.
Okay, great.
And now they're having a baby.
That's good.
That's ghost.
We had a baby, it's a boy.
We had a baby, it's a boy.
Classic.
I come on a Fieside.
Was that one?
That was one where long distance calls were very, they were impenetrable and they were prohibitively expensive.
So you had to get special cards and things.
And it starts with a guy saying, I thought I was calling Phoenix, but I called Fiji.
Oh, I remember that.
make any fuck how no you spelled
I know they you put it in a country code
you spelled it wrong yeah
it only works if like you're telling Siri
call call fee
yeah and that was not a thing that wasn't a thing
and so there's a guy at a resort
answering the phone and he says something that sounds like
I'm gonna see that oh and that guy's
like boy this isn't my this isn't my grandma
it's like no you're you're calling Phoenix
no you're not remember one
800 collect I do how many how many how many how many wealthy people got paid to advertise
one 800 collect those were good commercials they were good commercials but but it's so crazy
i don't begrudge mr t anything no he should get his get his dollar it's so crazy that
phone calls don't cost anything anymore or or if they do right i mean i feel like it's structured
it's structured so much differently than it was yeah it's it's more complex
but it's also, I guess it's easier to end up paying a lot more money than you have to.
Guys, this is why we started Had Claims 8.
You know what?
This is why Hack claims 8.
Hague claims 8, if you are looking for a better phone plan, a novelty dictionary.
Website.
Website.
Website.
Sorry, it's not a physical dictionary yet.
Yet, although.
Well, it could be if we just printed it.
That would be kind of.
Yeah, that's true.
We could do that.
We could do that.
Have you ever just printed up a bunch of pages from the internet?
I'm going to print out mariamwebster.com.
I just want a dictionary, but I want it free.
Well, free-ish.
What was the novelty part of it?
I don't even remember.
It would be novelty definitions of real words.
So it's kind of like funny definitions, like a picture.
Oh, it was like, oh, there's a like the definition of stupid like has your picture.
Yeah.
It would be like a little mirror in there.
A mirror, yeah.
I'd be happy to represent.
Gullabels not in there.
Gullab's on the ceiling.
You guys are like, what?
Yeah.
Goebles on the ceiling?
Goble's on the ceiling.
I know.
I know.
It's serious.
Oh, man.
The end of, is it the end of patience or Axel Rose?
Does that really low note?
And then in one of the songs, he goes, yauza.
At the end.
What?
Are you thinking of David Lee Roth?
That seems like David Lee Roth, I think Chris Catan.
I forgot that was one of his characters.
It was solid.
Well, the first thing that comes up on the internet is,
what is Axel Rose diagnosed with?
God.
Four stage yauza?
Four stage.
I can't.
Oh, it's Mr. Brownstone at the end of Mr. Brownstone.
Oh, this took me to fucking.
X.com, the everything app.
Ewechah Hitler, Mechah Hitler.
Docks me, Mecha Hitler.
I was listening to Grimes on the way here.
Grimes.
And I was just thinking, like, I wish I didn't know that she
don't like Elon Musk.
I wish I didn't know that.
I wish I could erase that.
Was it better when you didn't know anything about anyone?
I actually think it was.
Yes.
I think it was.
Yeah.
I remember when I was working.
working with the Mr. Show guys that we were all impressed that someone figured out the production
company address and sent us like a fan mail, a piece of fan mail. And I was like, wow, that's,
that's cool. A fan actually reached out to us and was able to like get us a message. And now it's
just like, fucking everyone can just send anyone a message. Yeah. Don't. Don't. It's weird.
Don't send messages, guys. As Sprague the Whisperer has said, if you are typing anything on the
internet, check yourself into Shutter Island.
he's not wrong completely but there are there are pockets of the internet that I'm
really enjoying right now and I don't need to get in depth a show that we're watching
we have we have now gone into rabbit holes on Reddit about that show is it are and people
are very funny talking about it and I and I'm like you know what I like these comments
oh yeah I know what you're talking about everyone's being funny but I there but most of the
internet should be deleted I do think I think the the in all comment sections being able to
Being able to write to anyone or comment on.
I think first and foremost...
Maybe I should just disable comments.
You could do that.
Oh, it's great to disable comments.
The news should not have comments available.
Yeah.
There should be no news reporting site of any kind that allows comments.
Although sometimes it is like, hey, that's not true.
Well, you know what I mean?
I think it's on Instagram and people are just able to comment on that.
Or like, hey, you need to phrase this.
This headline is misleading.
This headline, yeah.
But I think if I'm reading a website that is like a, oh,
a journalistic website, and I'm reading that.
I don't need to then at the bottom see some assholes thought about it.
Here's what I will say, though, in opposition to that.
Okay.
I'm open and available to hear other sides.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Both sides.
Get out of your bubble for two seconds.
I know.
Just today there was the...
Coldplay kiss cam.
Oh, this is fucking.
Did you hit yourself to hear?
I did.
I don't like this part.
Oh, it's terrible.
I need to put some cushioning here.
Yeah.
Maybe we'll put some baffling there or something.
Yeah, put some baffling.
Why don't you wear some knee pads?
I'll do that.
Like pretty mercury in the case'll think I'll love video.
And so NPR is getting defunded.
PBS is getting defunded.
And so NPR itself posts this online with a picture of Chuck Schumer saying the Senate votes to defund whatever.
It's like it wasn't.
And people are like, it specifically was Republicans.
You can't just say the Senate.
Right.
Why would they want to?
Oh, do we have any stock photos of the Senate around?
Oh, here's one of Chuck Schumer in there.
Why would they want to say it like that?
I don't know.
I think for a while they were thinking, hey, maybe we're nice to these guys.
They won't take our money away.
It's like, well, that's dumb.
And then they did, and they're still like, it's so weird.
I read something, and I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm going to throw it out like it is.
Do it.
It's a podcast.
Exactly.
here this is anybody who's fact checking us on anything what are you doing no the podcast it was
all about just saying untrue things and try to rile people yes but i i think there was a point
where uh something about the FCC where they were trying to decide whether it should be legal
to sell ads on news mm-hmm or not and they decided like oh yeah let's let uh news program sell ads
and how different the world would be
if they had never done that
because then news programs
wouldn't be chasing ratings
wouldn't be looking at the metrics of like
oh when we talk about this thing
our ratings go up
and there probably wouldn't be 24 hour
news channels because they wouldn't be
it wouldn't be profitable. It wouldn't be lucrative
yeah so gosh wouldn't that be a great world
they really would yeah it really would
but instead we have this one
and what about podcasts what about this podcast what if it was illegal to have
god do you think podcasts wouldn't exist
probably not if people are like I love the news doesn't have commercials why should
I listen to a podcast they're just throwing things out like they're true
they don't even know Mike and I have been have been toying with the idea of getting
dumb phones oh yeah and and having our smartphone only capable to be used on
internet like on Wi-Fi in the shape of like an old like telephone you know
receiver or something?
I carry it around with you.
The one that we're looking at is like a just looks like an iPhone, but it only does
maps, photos, um, texting an email and you can't do anything else.
Right.
You can't Google anything, whatever.
Sounds like you can't Google anything.
Yeah.
That's a good one for like kids probably.
It's definitely, it's like listed as being a great first phone.
Right.
And so I'm like, I'm kind of interested in the idea of having that.
You probably want to add TikTok to it though.
I want Instagram and TikTok.
Yeah.
You should add that and then.
but I and then the thought was that we would keep our other phones and just have them only able to be used when you're on Wi-Fi so you can like you could do certain things if you need to and blah blah blah if you were like in some sort of situation however it's already the idea I think I have to just jump in and try it for a few weeks but the idea already becomes like well what if I need to do this or what yeah and then it's like but the but we used to do that yeah we never used to be on TikTok well even like I can see we never used to tweet or twood or what.
whatever you call it.
Oh, this is my new peppy, by the way.
I went to see a very good play the other day.
Cold?
Parade.
No, it wasn't cold.
I wasn't on that kiss cam.
You'll never catch me on the cold play kiss cam.
But I went to see parade.
You're on the parade play kiss cam?
Yes, I was on the parade play kiss cam.
What is parade about again?
Isn't it dramatic?
It's dramatic, but it's a musical.
Beautiful music, but it's about a real story about a,
Jewish
person who was sort of railroaded
and tried for a murder
and then
parade.
Yeah, because it was on the day of a parade.
Okay.
And then the governor started
to investigate it and let him
out of jail and then a mob found him
and hung him
when he was released from jail.
In any case, so
Senator Warnock introduced it
Not live but there was an audio tape of him saying like
You know please put your stuff away and this is my new pepief
Is when people and Billy Bob Thornton does this on these new commercials
When they say when they when they when they dismissively say like
So Senator Warnock said anything that's like ringing or pinging or dinging
Right put it away right you know and Billy Bob Thornton does the yeah you
you're texting and you know like we're so far past the point of this being like
something some people are doing and it's annoying it's like everyone has it's literally every person
on earth just turn your phones off that's the one device yes yeah i mean i feel like i saw a
watch is pinging and dinging i saw a live show the other day where the person did it too
and it's just like oh all of your apps and all of it you know they love doing it's like why are you
so derisive towards this thing that you definitely use yes yes um um
What commercials is Billy Bob Thornton doing?
He has some sort of a data plan commercial.
So he has a data plan and he's going pinging and dinging?
He's a competitor to hadclaims8.com.
Well, they all are.
They all are.
They all are.
We're climbing on top of them.
Every other podcast phone company is going under because of us.
I'll land on you, man.
Yeah.
But I do, you know, we did go see a movie the other day with our nephew, who's 15.
and he was saying he didn't like the experience
because he wanted to be on his phone the whole time.
That's sad.
And didn't like how the theater was saying,
you can't be on your phone.
And it's kind of like, well...
I don't like what this building said to me.
That's actually really hard to process for me
because I think it makes sense.
And apparently theaters are now trying to maybe do screenings
where people can be on their phones all the time and all this.
Meanwhile, when I saw Parade,
Despite Senator Warnock's chastising the audience, the older woman next to me had a phone or a watch that lit up constantly.
Yeah.
And it constantly got my attention.
Why was Raphael Warnock the person telling you not?
I think because it's in Georgia.
It's set in Georgia.
The play set in Georgia is an important.
Let's get a video of him.
It wasn't a video.
It was an audio.
It was an audio.
That's even weirder.
But the wanting to be on your phone, your nephew's at an age where he probably didn't go to the movies for like all the pandemic.
There's like a lot of child, you know, brain forming years.
Like that would be an experience.
We concentrate when we're here and we pay attention to the thing.
And so it makes sense to me.
We come to this place.
Yeah.
But it also makes sense with just that age wanting to be on your phone or whatever.
I just feel very sad when I hear that that like, because it's just.
being in the movie theater is the special thing.
It's way more.
Do it at home all day long.
I'm on my phone all the time.
But when I go, if I actually go to a movie theater,
it's almost like, oh, thank God.
Someone has made this decision for me.
I won't say it's easy, especially like when something can get in your head about like,
well, what if it happens with the babysitter, both Klupp and I are here?
Or shouldn't I have it at least?
Shouldn't I check it?
Shouldn't I check it from time to time?
But it is very satisfying.
But I will say he also has.
one air pod in his ear at all times and is a lot of people do that my nephew was doing that too
my nephew had but he had just gotten um because they were going to summer camp and they got these like
just some little inexpensive mp3 players that so because they can't take any phones to camp and everything
and uh so they put music on the thing but then he was he had that in his year while we were minigalphing
and i was going like but don't be listening to this music while we're
mini golfing were talking. Does that mean that
joke has finally left my brain?
And you're transferred to you. I almost
headed the other day to someone
to like a parent at preschool and I was
like, this person's not going to understand.
What did I say that that sparked that
for you? You said
it puts the thing in the thing. I didn't say
it puts the music in the music. I don't know what it said.
They put the music in the thing.
I think is what he said. Well, regardless. They put the
lime of the coconut. He was listening to that while
hanging out. But I was like, well, it's not
a game and it's like he is able to hear
me. So at least there's that.
Like, I'm like, I'm not going to tell them to not use it.
Do you think games are worse?
Games are worse because they're not able to, like, hear you while they're playing a game.
True, but they're also not getting weird ideas.
Well, this was just music.
He was just listening to, like, music that we had uploaded onto the thing.
So we knew what all the songs were and they were all kid appropriate.
But it's just, yeah, no, I think the YouTube stuff is really scary.
When the kids are just on YouTube, they're in a whole world.
that they've now stopped watching,
but there were a lot of times
where they just watch grown men play video games
and talk about it.
And then I'm like, why is this guy doing this?
Which is the guy in the video
where he's like some guy who's just like
walking through a Minecraft world
and talking about it.
And I'm just like, this is just crazy.
I mean, it's that person's money,
but they're mostly...
We sound a million years old on this episode.
I know, but I'm like,
but only nine-year-olds are watching this.
And so that's when I start to think,
why are you making...
This is weird that you're...
I want to sound even older. I have never been clear on what exactly Minecraft is. I don't know
what it is either. You build things. Do you destroy things? That's the craft. I don't really know
what happens beyond that. I know you have to mine materials. Yeah. Oh, so it's like crypto.
You mine so you can craft. Superman's dog. I don't care if I sound old. I think that this is just
this is technology changing and it's weird. And I think that there were the people a little bit
older than us, we're definitely talking about all of this when we were getting all of our phones.
Of course. When I got a pair of modern. They're talking about Atari Adventure. When I got a pair of
modern headphones, I didn't know that there was the setting where you can hear everything in the
room as well as the thing. Yes. So I was like, oh, okay. And I'm pretty sure that's what our nephew has
on is the setting where it's like, because I would go like, hey, do you want to do or whatever?
And he would answer me and stuff. But I think that his phone is in his hand. He's got one earbud
in and he's just like scrolling
TikTok the entire day
and concentrating on that with half
his brain and concentrating on talking to everyone
that seems hard I don't use TikTok enough
to have an algorithm that is suited to me
and so when I'm
I can't look at TikTok for very long
like just scroller I don't have TikTok
yeah I don't have it either I don't look at it
but I think with like and I'm not better than I have it
just so when people send me TikToks
I can see them easily you send
a few TikToks. I'm always like, well, I can't see
this one. Here's what I try to do. I try to download
them and send them to be able. That's nice. That's very
generous. I'm a very nice person. You're so nice. It's like
a gift article. When you think about
like when you're talking
to your spouse and they're on their phone
and I'm definitely guilty of this. My spouse is a woman by the way
where Michael will be like talking
to me and then I'm like, he's like you have to put your phone down
because I'm like not responding. Yeah.
And I didn't realize that I think that I'm able to
do two things at once and I'm not.
I'm very guilty of that. Sometimes
Emmy goes like, hey, wait.
Wake up, which is code for get off your phone.
Yeah, that's scary.
Wake up.
I feel that's part of my.
Put down your phone.
Wake up.
It's part of my thing.
She's all.
Wanting the, the dumb phone, even though it's hard, very hard for me to give up this thing.
Yeah.
Is that I don't want to be seen with my neck craning down all the time to my children.
Like that makes me feel sad.
When you see other people on their phones, it looks so bad.
It looks terrible.
It looks so, like it's so uninteresting.
On Mother's Day, we.
Emmy and Kulop and I went out for brunch and we had a nice brunch and we weren't on our phones.
And then I looked over the table next to us and it was a mom and dad.
And they're two either teenage or preteen sons and all four of them were just on their phone the entire meal.
And I was like, oh, God, I don't want to be like that.
But then...
Happy Mother's Day.
But then life is so fucking boring.
You have to like play games on your computer.
I mean, maybe their conversations are terrible.
I mean, who knows.
That's true.
Maybe they all suck and like they put it down.
instead they'd be like, eat your fucking eggs.
Shut up, mom.
You're so stupid.
But I was like, shouldn't-
Why should you get a day?
I would always be upset at my dad for rules about stuff like that.
And my mom, I'm sure.
But, you know, like famously, he threw away our TV for a number of years and just, you know, like,
know this at the table or whatever, no phones at the table or whatever.
So I'm like, I'm not going to be like that.
So, like, phones are okay at the table, but then-
No, I would say no phones at the table.
Now I've started to be like...
I think no phones at the table is fair.
There's a new thing called wait until eighth.
And it's like sort of like a parental like commitment that like a, like, for example,
like you and like your Emmys, classmates, parents would decide we're all not going to give
them a phone until they're in eighth grade at least.
And so it means nobody's left.
No one's like that idea.
And I even think eighth grade sounds young, but it's, that's also because I didn't get a, I had
a phone in my junior year of high school, but even that was kind of crazy.
when I think about like the one asshole parents who would be like no I'm not going to abide by that I don't agree to that I know yeah because you know it's I know someone's gonna you know it's gonna have I know I know who in her I know which oh I do too I don't know why I know this but I I know exactly and I know exactly oh yeah I do oh yeah I do um all right we have to take break okay

You know, these days, it seems like there's advice for everything.
Everywhere you look, people are trying to give you advice.
I have the answers.
I have the secrets.
Like how to cold plunge or how to journal, how to detox off of your screen,
how to not listen to a podcast, but don't listen to them.
But do you know what actually works for you?

Hi, I'm Jessica St. Clair, and I'm June, Diane Raphael, and we are two friends trying to
survive the chaos and celebrate the joy that life throws our way. And we do it every week on our
podcast, The Deep Dive. Sometimes.

bad advice based off a TikTok I saw and we're not gonna apologize for that absolutely not you'll laugh
you'll cry you'll hire a psychic medium join us won't you listen to the deep dive wherever you get your
podcast from Lemonada Media
to it.
Come on, man.
We've been down this road.
I'm looking for information.
Boy, you're just asking questions.
Just asking questions.
It's time for a three-cher.
A bus sterile.
Holy shit.
We're going to do a three-chard.
If you would like to send us a three-chreter, don't.
Yeah, never again.
I have, that's funny.
I was at dinner, at a friend's house, and when I was leaving,
I saw this book on their table.
Whoa.
And I said, please, may I borrow that book?
I love it.
This book is called The Omnibus of Party Games.
Wow.
It is written by Gloria Goddard and Clement Wood.
It is from Old Timey Times.
It is a first edition, 1938, cost 1295.
Oh, that's expensive.
Things were expensive back then?
Like, I would imagine it would honestly be a dollar or something.
It can't have cost that much.
done. Like what's, I'm going to look up, what's, how much is 1295? I did this on the,
by the way, I did this on the gilded age the other day when they were offered $600,000 for the,
for the clock. Have you been watching? Are you fucking kidding? Wait, what? There was a payoff
with that clock. Oh shit. Are you not watching? I'm sorry. No, I'm not watching. Why not? I thought
that we were watching this together. Did you? I said, I said you an ad for it and you were like,
Hell yeah.
I have not been watching.
How far into the season is it?
It's like four or five episodes or something.
And so the kid fixed the clock and then somebody wants to buy it?
So he put it.
He put it on Craig's House?
These are all spoilers.
He put it on Facebook Marketplace?
These are all spoilers for Gilded Age.
I'm sorry.
But the payoff to the clock is he patented the technology that he used to fix the clock.
and he went to business with a guy across the street.
I call it the driver of the screw.
He went into business with a guy across the street and they got a huge sum of money for it,
which I was like, oh, I wonder how much that is.
And I looked it up and it's akin to $12 million now.
Oh.
But he's still going to work for the people.
What the fuck?
By the way, this book, you say about 1939 or so?
1938, I said.
Okay, $12.
$12.95.
$12.95.
That is close to $300.
But where does it say $12.95?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's $12.95 today.
Oh, it's got a sticker on it that it was sold recently for $12.95.
I understand.
I was like, why?
What?
I was going to say that book does not look worth $300.
No, a book's in 1938 probably, we'll pay you to take one.
Party games were hard to come by.
So they had, they sold out.
You had to have this special edition, $300 book.
Now, here's the contents.
There are things such as indoor athletics, individual, indoor athletics team or relay, ingenuity games, guessing games, hilarious games.
I don't want to play.
Not for the nitwits.
Fun with the alphabet.
Oh, my God.
Can you imagine how bleak that is?
Stunt games and gags.
Although we just had it with the JZGA joke.
The goddess of luck.
We did have fun with the alphabet in that instance.
It wasn't bleak.
It was not bleak.
But the first chapter is breaking the ice at the party.
Okay.
And I think this might, we might find something in here and maybe we should have done this during the break.
All right.
Maybe we should have, but we were too busy gossiping about people we knew.
And it was so fun.
It was fun.
It was more fun than what we're about to do.
A lot of these.
That of course, by the way, if you're a hag's claim, sorry, hag claims eight.
I almost said hags claim eight.
If you're a hag. If you're a hag or an eight claimer, you get to hear all of the deleted
gossiping that we do about our friends. So that's another reason to say it. Yeah, it gets deleted,
but it gets uploaded to hag claims eight.com. Yeah. So that's another reason. If you are a user.
To become, uh, you know, to get our data plan. That's a lot of the data that you're getting is who we're
gossiping about. Just get it. Just get it. Damn it. All of these are like, you have to make cards and
shit. What if we don't do that? Well, I guess we can't. I mean, I really,
thought this would be easy.
That's too bad.
Why don't you take that book home, dear?
And read that all night long.
All night long.
Omnibus.
Of party games.
Tomolite set to boolia.
Hey, jamba, jamba.
We go to not play so al-a-o-o-a-tumboa.
Tumbleita set tibolia.
Hey, jamba, jamba.
Bata-da-pba-pba-ba-ba-a-oh.
Yeah.
We're going to have a part.
Lauren, I couldn't help but notice, you weren't joining in during the singing of All Night Long.
I didn't actually know those extra words you started at it.
Tumble it's et to moya?
Yeah.
I mean, I've heard it.
I would never feel so bold as to say it.
What about, what if I were to say to you, Mama, say, Mama, Sam, Mama, Sam, Mama, Sam, Maucosa.
That one thing I had all the time.
All the time.
I often want to say that.
All the time.
That's like if you could X-ray Lauren's skull.
It would be a little Lauren singing, Mamma-Sama-a-Makusa.
All right, well, I fucked up.
Guys, do you want to apologize to us and then the listeners?
Yeah.
Okay.
Scott?
Yep.
Lauren.
I'd prefer a separate one.
I want to be noticed while you're talking to him.
Scott?
Yes, Paul.
Regarding the snafu blunder.
Situation normal, all fucked up.
Whatever you like to call it.
I'm over here. I just want to do to kind of use that.
Hey, hi, Lauren.
Hi.
I'm apologizing to Scott, and guess what?
I've got something for you, too.
Oh, I hope it's an apology.
I will see what happens.
I would like to formally and sincerely apologize for not doing due diligence on the book,
The Omnibus of Party Games by Gloria Goddard and Clement Wood.
1295.
In today's dollars?
In today's dollars, 1295, first edition from 1938.
I should have looked in the book prior to,
to us meeting today.
I thought it would be,
this is an explanation,
not an excuse.
I thought it would be fun
to discover it all together,
but now I see
I really should have
at least taken a peek
beforehand.
And now I'm realizing,
of course,
it was not as easy
as I thought it would be.
And doing something
the easy way
often leads to something like this.
You know,
we could play should have,
could have,
would have.
Should we just do that?
Oh yeah,
let's do that.
Anyway, Scott, that is my apology.
I don't need to hear from you.
I forgive, but I never forget.
Lauren?
Yes.
I don't know if you remember, but the last time we tried to play a three-cher,
I made this big show of having brought in a book.
And, you know, with the implication that,
with the implication that this book has so many games we can play,
that we are set.
And obviously, I did not do any sort of research beforehand.
You didn't even crack it.
No, I didn't.
You didn't even take one peek.
I'm sorry to interrupt your apology that's going on over here.
I just want you to notice me.
I'm going to ignore that because this is your time.
I feel like that was pretty weird.
You gave me the Heisman right there.
I should have.
I should have.
Talk to the hand because the face don't want to listen.
I should have researched this.
I should have opened the book up and seen what type of book it was.
And then I would have discovered numerous props are needed for,
Various games.
You can't do that.
I'm sorry to interrupt again.
You could have made the props.
You could have brought the props.
And you could have gone to Party City.
Add propped or a Hocker prop.
Anyway, Lauren, I want to say that I am sorry.
I'm sorry.
I wasted our time, your time, the listener's time.
My response is that it's too little too late.
Okay, well, it doesn't matter because I don't even accept your.
I said I would give you an apology.
I said, I don't care about that either.
I don't care.
You don't care?
So why are you in doing it?
Because I said I would.
I said I would, but you're only doing you because you said you would.
Oh, so you're just saying, sorry, sorry, whatever.
The apology is sincere, but I don't need to listen to what you have to say.
I'm not going to respond to you.
And now the listener.
I'm not going to respond to you.
Hey, you guys.
Oh, great.
All three of you.
I want to say, I apologize for not doing the work I should have done in advance of this episode.
I thought I was bringing a fun idea to us and what I brought was a problem and a slowdown and a turning over of the sign to
zero days since a three-year blunder
and I apologize
to each and every one of you
and if you're a new listener
and if you're somebody who's discovering
this podcast long after we've stopped doing it
and you're like, why never listen
to that? Should I listen to that? And somebody said
yeah and
yes, the show where someone apologizes for a long time.
Yeah, yeah, do, yeah, listen.
Do whatever the fuck you want. I mean, I don't care
if you listen, sure. If that applies to you,
I'm not sorry.
Wow. Because these other
people they were there when it happened and you fuck you the future whoa fuck everybody in the future
fuck everyone in the future yes meaning anyone who's born in the future or just everyone who exists
in there now whoa what about dead people yeah fuck them they're all the past though they're dead in
the future do you see them do i see dead people yeah do i do i see dead people i see dead people
Do you?
A very different movie
with a question mark
at the end of that.
Do I see dead people?
That's a game we could play.
Seeing dead people?
Wrong inflection?
Wrong inflection.
Okay.
How do we play it, Paul?
And who is it submitted by?
You think of, it's submitted by me right now.
Okay.
You think of famous quotes from movies.
Okay.
And you try to change the inflection
to give it a different meaning if possible.
Okay.
Now, we could do it where we toss one out to each other.
Okay.
And you say, with this inflection.
Okay.
You want to try that?
Sure.
You've submitted it.
I'll try whatever you want me to.
Hey, thank you.
I'm your little bitch.
I'll do anything you ordered me to do, daddy.
Like a famous line such as...
How about here's looking at you, kid?
Yes, exactly.
Is this to me?
And then Paul, you're going to say how it's said?
Yeah.
Okay.
How do you want me to say it?
I want you to say it like,
finally
oh
you're looking at you kid
oh
it's so stupid
what if we go around
we have to each give it a different inflection
okay
so then we don't assign it
so a three-cher's born
Paul say oh I'm sorry
this is for Paul now
and you're to say
you were to say how he wants to say it
no no I think we
we just all give it a different one
I think we eliminate
the assignment.
Okay.
Oh, the part that you wanted us to do?
This is a fluid.
This is a living document.
A lot like the Constitution.
It's fluid.
Well, too, living, if you're asking me.
Constitution is all of it's meant.
Let's let that thing die already.
Okay, how do you want to say, or you just say it and we'll guess.
I want to tell you that.
No, you think I want to guess.
Lauren wants to tell you how to say.
I want to tell me how to say.
Tell me how to say here's looking at you, kid.
Like a creep in the window.
That's pretty good
A thief in the next
Here's looking at you kid
Right
Lauren I want you to say it like
You're finally seeing your daughter
After they were kidnapped for 15 years
Here's looking at you kid
Kid
We're great actors.
How about, how about there's no crying in baseball?
Okay, Paul, you tell me how to say it.
Shock to discover.
There's no crying in baseball?
Whoa, that's crazy.
That was crazy.
That's nuts.
Lowren?
How's Paul going to say this?
It's a secret.
There's no crying in baseball.
Oh, that's gossipy.
Yeah.
Thank you.
X-O-X-O.
All right, Lauren.
How do you want you to say it?
You say it like you're correcting someone on the sport that they're playing.
There's no crying in baseball.
Sounded just like to read.
Isn't that what he said?
You don't have to be angry.
Isn't that what he was doing?
That's kind of me.
No, he was saying that there's no crying in baseball, not there's no crying in baseball.
Oh.
There's no crying at baseball.
E.T. Phone home.
Scott?
Oh, yes.
Assigned someone else.
Oh, okay.
I think the assignment should go different ways.
Oh, really?
You don't want to be assigned by me anymore?
I don't feel safe.
I don't want to be outside by you.
A guilty feet, I've got no rhythm.
All right, you tell Lauren what to do.
But, wait, that's the line, though.

Sponser whether you pay for me if you got a.

You're, you're nervous about seeing him again.
You're nervous about talking to him again, but you know that you have to.

Oh, you know what?
Wow.
I mixed up my dick, because I remember wanting to get him on.
Oh, because Rover Dangerfield died in 2010.
I wanted to get him on comedy death ray.
And I was, and I was like, so he had to be alive then.
But I mixed up the date of when that started with when the comedy bang bang podcast started.
Cause of death surgical complications.
Wives, wives that he had.
He was married to Joyce Indig from 1951 to 1961.
and then he was married to Joyce Indig from 1963 to 1970.
They got divorced for two years.
I think they're going to break.
Yeah, I find that so fascinating.
And then he was married.
Then he was single for 23 years.
And he was married to a child.
And then he married Joan Child.
Yeah.
From 93 to 2004.
Wow.
The widow danger food.
Mm-hmm.
And his full name, of course, Jacob Cohen.
Jacob Cohen.
Oh, wow.
That's shocking.
I thought I knew his real name, but that doesn't sound familiar to me at all.
Jack Roy.
born Jacob Cohen, better known by the stage name Rodney Dangerfield.
So he changed it twice.
What?
Jack Roy is not working.
And he'd come up with more syllables.
Isn't it always interesting?
Wait, his name was, was what?
He was born Jacob Cohen, then he changed it to Jack Roy.
And then his kid's last name is Roy.
Yeah.
But he had the stage name of Rodney Dangerfield.
So around the house, he was probably known as Jack.
Interesting.
Yeah.
this kid's probably didn't respect him they call him
I think rapping jack sounds worse
Rapin jack's knee
Associated Google questions
Who said I never get any respect
So you're already Googling
Robbie Dangerfield and then it gives you that
Wait do we have more movie quotes
Uh yeah of course we do
One more round
Nobody puts baby in a corner

you're wondering where to put baby
you're wondering where to put baby
nobody put the baby in a corner
right
right looking at people like right

Lowren
you're going to say it like
you're going to say it like you are the person
giving instructions at the beginning
of the haunted house
and this is one of the last things
you say before you like
send them off
disappear in some fog or whatever
nobody
puts baby in a corner
yeah

that you fell into.
Like a Heidi hole?
Like Saddam Hussein?
Spider hole?
Yeah.
Spider hole.
Yeah.
Okay.
Nobody puts baby in the corner.
Similar to the fucking.
I was going to say.
I think escaping from a hole is very similar to fucking.
Yeah.
We talk about ET a lot of this podcast.
It's an unofficial E.T. podcast, I would say.
It is an unofficial E.T. podcast.
That's how we should have branded ourselves years ago.
I have to go.
All right.
We all have to go.
Goodbye.
It's easy to feel helpless these days.
So take a break from the bad news and hear from people who are doing good things to address big problems.
We care about abortion access.
We care about slowing down and reversing climate change.
That's the approach we need to these long-term systemic problems.
We need the fixers.
Feel empowered to take action.

Hi, I'm Erica Mahoney.
You don't know me, but you know a version of my story.
Because by now, we've all felt the impact of senseless gun violence.
I think a straight bullet flew past me because I hear the...
It was that horrible feeling of dread.
Something's wrong.
Four years ago, my dad was killed in a mass shooting.
My podcast, Senseless, is about moving forward after the unthinkable.
Senseless from Lemonata Media, premiering June 17th.
