Starting point is 00:00:00 Lemonado. Hi, it's Julia Louis Dreyfus here, and I can't wait for you to hear our new episode of Wiser Than Me with Cindy Lopper on Amazon Music. Cindy may be a girl who just wants to have fun, but for 40 years she has brought playfulness and a dash of punk to some serious activism. We talk about her lifelong LGBTQ-plus advocacy, her astonishing music career, and pick up a whole lot of wisdom. along the way. Listen now only on Amazon music included with Prime. I'm Dr. Susan Swick, a child psychiatrist and the host of Talkaboutable. This season, I'm talking with parents and experts about how we tackle the everyday challenges of raising kids. We'll get real about those pebble in the shoe issues we all face as parents and how to build resilience and community through our own experiences.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Talk Aboutable Season 2 from Lemonada Media in partnership with montage health and their Ohana Center for Child and Family Mental Health is out now. Freedom! Freedom! Oh, yes. Freedom Michael. Right? George Michael.
Starting point is 00:01:41 Absolutely. Freedom 90. We should do an episode, Freedom 90. Where we just make 90s references. Oh, could you imagine if we did that? Wait, it should have been our 90th episode. Fuck! Fudge!
Starting point is 00:01:54 We fudged this up. Let's go home. Let's go home. Situation normal. We all fudged up. What episode? What is this? We're getting close to a big number.
Starting point is 00:02:02 We're getting close to a big one. We're getting close to 1,000 episodes. Wow. I mean, not that close. We're about 700 and some behind. Still. Still. We're closer than we're not.
Starting point is 00:02:12 That's not true. We started going backwards. You're saying if we've done no episodes, we'd be closer. Yeah. We're going backwards in the numbering now. What? Yeah, sorry. We're going to go down.
Starting point is 00:02:23 We're going to go down. So it's going to be double to 99, double to 99, double to 98, double to 97. We're doing it in NASA style. we're counting down. We should have done that at the top. Anytime you count down, it's NASA style. I know. NASA style.
Starting point is 00:02:39 That would be pretty baller, if I may, to call your shot of how many episodes you're going to do and then count down. Cool beans. It would be funny if we started at, you know, 10,000 episodes. Yes, and then counted all the way down. That's a lot of pressure, but I like it.
Starting point is 00:02:58 I like the idea that we would die before it happened. Yeah. Yeah. And that somebody would have to pick up the mantle. And I also like people like assuming that it starts with the earliest number and then listening Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:10 It's like Merrily, we roll along. Yeah. Yes. Or betrayal. No. That's right. Pinter. I saw Loki and Daredevil do that once.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Okay. It took me in their in their Marvel costumes. That would have been. What did they do? They were in the show betrayal on Broadway together. Tom Hiddleston and Charlie Cox. Charlie Cox, yeah. And then the person who I believe is married to Tom Hiddleston now, she was great.
Starting point is 00:03:42 I saw Christopher Reeve and Adam West do rope. Oh, that's fun. I would like to see some shows. So Batman and Superman doing ropes, I'm sorry to talk over you, Lauren. World's finest of theater. No, you're not. Okay, thanks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:57 It's fine. That will never happen again. Okay. I believe I'll be in... I believe I'll be in... I believe I believe... I believe it. That was immediately broken.
Starting point is 00:04:10 That was so perfect. That was a classic porky pig. That was classic porky pigging. I'm going to be in New York, I believe, in May, and I believe I'm going to see some shows. Nice. Nice, nice, nice. I got to figure out what to see because you know what happens? Yep.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I have some friends who either live there or go there. more often and they'll see a bunch of shows. And then they talk about some really niche things. But sometimes I want to see the big thing that I need to see. No, the big popular thing. Might I suggest the Putnam Spelling Bee that my friend is producing? It's very, very good. People say it's very fun.
Starting point is 00:04:46 And you could probably be a speller in it. That's right. Oh, God. What they bring up on stage? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's very fun. I used to pride myself on my spelling. I went with Kate McCutche and she's going to be a speller at some point.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I love Kate. That's one of my friends who lives there, and I'm hoping to see a show with her. That's one of my friends who lives there. Kate McCauchy. I'm going to force her to see a show. She's already seen, probably. Unless they like the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Maybe she would be the speller because there's a couple of spellers. So you get planned to be the spellers? Yeah, you get picked beforehand. They get like a little celebrity guest to do it. I see. Yeah, sometimes it's a celebrity. Quite often it's like three people just from the crowd that they, They talked to beforehand.
Starting point is 00:05:32 They do it sort of like Price is Right. I knew someone who... Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ha. But what are the greatest theme songs? That's a really good one. You just reminded me, my sketch show when I was in Chicago, that was our theme music we'd come out to. Smart. Because we were called The Money Kids and it felt right.
Starting point is 00:05:56 The Money Kids. But I knew someone who was, I guess, interviewed the people. people before price is right to figure out who to pick and we ask for tips exactly there's a special there's a sweet spot you got to be yes so i asked for tips um because we were going to go with cool up and all over roommates when we first started dating and because you live off your tips yeah of course and um she said that you have to be cheerful you have to be upbeat but you can't be too excited because when the adrenaline hits anyone who's like excited and will suddenly their adrenaline will shoot through the roof
Starting point is 00:06:34 and they will be unusable and be crazy on camera. So you just need people who are kind of normal when you're talking to them who seem like they would be fun but who are not like going, oh my God, oh my God, I want to be up there. Isn't anybody in line for that that's just miserable? I know. Have they ever done like a super rich people prices right? Where they just watched.
Starting point is 00:06:53 We watched like them try to guess how much an air frayor is. That's probably celebrity princes. That's what I mean. like Kim Kardashian or something and they're like, I don't know, like $400. Like, it's $50, ma'am. Next item I forbid, a can of soup. Are air fresheners $50?
Starting point is 00:07:09 No, I said air fryer. Oh, okay, air fryer. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, okay, I don't know what prices of things all that well. But the air freshener for $50. They're stinking more and more. You need a high ticket item.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Yeah. Yeah. Should we play prices right with each other and can see if we know prices? As a three-cher where we each pick an item and then the other two try to guess without going over. And we have to look up average price. Yeah. Okay, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:07:35 We'll do that. The average retail price is? Wow, you know, it's like those words almost... I know. Have never meant anything until right now. It's almost like I didn't understand what they even meant. Do you what I mean? What's Sweaking?
Starting point is 00:07:47 And are you going to stop it, dear? It's a truck outside. Honey? Well, go tell them to knock it off. We're recording. I don't have dominion over the trucks. Tell them it's freedom. Tell them it's freedom.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Oh, oh. You don't have dominion? I don't have da minion. All right, Chicago. Domino. Banana. Banana. Is that your jickey?
Starting point is 00:08:07 Is that your minion? Is that your minion? Is that your minion? You have that minion? You know what? I still haven't watched a minion movie. I really need to. They're fun.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I mean, I've only watched one. I avoided it with all my heart and soul and I, and they're fun. They're cute. Of course, I loved the video of the two Italian actresses who are dubbing the minions for Italy. Oh, that's lovely. I have not seen that. It's adorable. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:32 It's these two women that they're in a recording booth. But why does it have to be dubbed the minions part? I think because some of the minionese has to be. Oh. Excuse me. A sharp intake or no, I guess it was an exhale. Don't make it make sense. Paul.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Honestly, I'm surprised we're not burping more on these episodes. No, no, no, no. We're chugging two liters of stoda before we begin. Just so we can be in the mindset. I have two cherry coax 20 ounces. No, the question is, so they're in some words are Italian, but then so they, what do they translate them to? English or something or a different language? Or maybe gibberish.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah, probably. No, but you, oh, because it's supposed to be gibberish to us. Yes, if you're, if you're Italian and you're watching it, and then all of a sudden there's just random Italian words. Yeah, formaggio. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, right. Why did they just say cheese? That's funny.
Starting point is 00:09:41 I think that is the case. I could be wrong. I believe that is the case. Look, if we can't say things that are incorrect on this show and say that they're right, what are we even podcasting for? What's the point of having a podcast? What's the point of having a microphone? What's the point of this platform? My platform is all about me saying a thing that I think is true and I don't care.
Starting point is 00:09:59 And I don't care to be corrected whether it's true or not. I want to believe it's true. Yeah. I want to believe. Look at my poster with the UFO. I want to believe. I want to believe. I, Fox Mulder.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I wonder if I should rewatch that show. No. I don't think so. No? I think watched the good episodes. Right. But like the whole thing. Remember when we were like, no, but remember how it was like, oh, what are they uncovering?
Starting point is 00:10:25 What are they unraveling and all the. It was an appointment television. Yeah. Was every episode resolved by the end? No. No. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 00:10:34 There were like sort of, what's the term for? Headphones? He's grabbing his headphones. I'm squishing my headphones to think better. There was the lore episodes like that would. Yeah, the cigarette smoking man, et cetera, where it was always like, oh, no, we can't tell him what's really going on. But then there would be these sort of bottle episodes that would just be.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Those were always fun. Watch the bottle episodes. Those are great. Those are always fun. Jose Chung from outer space. I guess in my, my, I never really thought about it too much. But I guess I would have imagined it's more like SVU or something where each episode has like a. Those are great.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And then they find like an alien at the end. They take a little hole and then there's like a little dead alien and like, do. They had. It sounds like you were going to do. Do do do do do do. Do do do. Well, I wouldn't do that because I don't know. I know. That's what I sounded like she was singing.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I thought you were doing the Incredible Hulk ending theme. Do you know. Do you're not Hulk? No. Okay. But I've seen. Loufriigno naked. Privately.
Starting point is 00:11:45 No. Do you really think that I would have seen that? Maybe through newcomers I would have found my way to watching an old Hulk. I didn't know something would ever come up. Someone might show it to you. It hasn't happened yet. And I think it's okay. I hope it does.
Starting point is 00:11:57 What do you know about the? Incredible Hulk, the TV show starring Bill Bixby. Whoa, I don't really know anything about that. I mean, I guess he would be green and have black hair. Do you think he plays Bruce Banner? Yes. No. He plays David Banner. He plays David Banner. Because Bruce was a gay
Starting point is 00:12:12 name. What? According to the network. Yeah. So they changed it from the comic book? Yep. Yeah. They named him David Bruce Banner. Wow. Even more manually. Manilin. Here's the name. More than Len Manuel Miranda. Bill Bixby.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Bell Bexby. His name was too close to the name, Bruce Bann or Double Bs. I know. Yeah, that was the problem. Now we're going to think you're the character. We can't.
Starting point is 00:12:37 People are going to be trying to make him angry. Let's make him David. Here's what would happen is that he, he was a scientist. He, I mean, he definitely turned into the Hulk for some reason. This back in the day, they used to give you. He was Hulk because he's angry.
Starting point is 00:12:50 They would do, he looks because he's angry. Do you know this? You like me when I'm angry. Well, I've seen Mark, Ruffalo do it. Yes. That's a callback to the TV show. Here's my secret.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I assume it's all a callback to... No, that was not in... I don't believe that was in the source material. I think that was a creation of the TV show of the... Don't do this because I'll get angry and you won't like me when I'm angry. Yes. Because that's when he turned to do it. Side note, I love Mark Rufflo.
Starting point is 00:13:16 He's the best. He's a great actor. And he's one of my favorite films, 13-Grand-th. You watched Task? No, what's that? He's great. Fun! It's a new show?
Starting point is 00:13:24 It's on HBO. It's an HBO show, yes. I don't even know what this is. It's by the mayor of Easttown people. Well, shit. And it's a detective or something. If you want to hear some Delco accents. I do want to hear that.
Starting point is 00:13:34 That's the place to go. He's a, I'm going to check that out and you see what the tone is. It's great. Is that pretty good? And I got to say, nails the ending. We say out.
Starting point is 00:13:44 Out. Not out. Out. I'm going to check that out. We say out. No. Say again? It's what I said not to say.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Say again. Out. I'm going to check that out. Out. See what the tone is. Check it out. See what the tone is. Check it out.
Starting point is 00:13:56 See what the tune is. I like the face you make when you do. Check it out. I like the face you make. It's a, I can't help it. I can't help it. This is my process.
Starting point is 00:14:06 And the better I get at it, the less my face has to do. Okay? You know what? Understandable. Thank you. The Incredible Hulk, this was in the days when a drama like that,
Starting point is 00:14:16 an hour long drama like that would have a little explainer at the beginning. Yeah, of how everything. Dr. David Banner, he drank some gamma rays and now he's the Incredible Hulk. I love that. negative. Like, who's that negative image?
Starting point is 00:14:28 They should do that on the pit. They should do that in the pit. By the way, woof, doggy. Oh my God. The end of the pit. I don't tell me. I'm not telling anyone anything, but what I will say is that it's stuck with me. And I do miss it, but I also am like, I need a little breather after that.
Starting point is 00:14:42 All I know is people are unsatisfied. I'm not unsatisfied. I'm not satisfied. I'm highly satisfied. So you're the anti-replacements. That's right. I'm the anti-replacements. I'm not drunk.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I did show up. You didn't storm off. during your set? I didn't storm off during my set. So he, he, he, in the, in the TV show, it's when he, although that must have something to do with the comic book, right? What? I mean, they're not just riff and make it up shit.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Well, when he transforms into the Hulk. Yep. What would, what would trigger it in the comic book? Oh, it is anger. I just mean the actual catchphrase. Yes. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. When I'm angry, I believe originated on the TV show because I don't recall it ever, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:21 there may have been variations of it in the, but it became like a thing. Yes. He was pursued by a reporter who knew something was up. Who has an unlimited budget. Yeah. Travel all across the country. And he's trying to uncover the secret. And so the Incredible Hulk, David Banner, would go from town to town.
Starting point is 00:15:43 And then he'd end up getting involved in the dramas of the people around and helping out or whatever. Always somebody would get him angry. And then there'd be a big fight. He would think he could settle down in this nice town. Like maybe this is where I could. rest my head for more than just a few days. But unfortunately, then some outside forces or forces within the town, perhaps some bullies in town or people trying to shake down people in the town would get involved.
Starting point is 00:16:07 He would get involved in it. He would turn into the Hulk. You would see close up of like arm ripping through a shirt. Yeah. That sounds familiar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the Hulk in the play by Lufriigno. Right.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Oh, so not the same actor as. No. No, no, no. Because he couldn't only pull off the chill business guy with the glasses, scientist guy. No. To see Lufrigna. Yeah, that would be silly. Well, if you're already a giant monster.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Right. You just take glasses off? Yeah. He's like, oh, he's changing him back in. I'm so angry. That's kind of interesting, though, that they just, that they had two different actors for it. Yeah. I mean, it makes more sense than Mark Ruffalo doing both.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Yeah. I mean, I think the CGI thing is like really. That helps. It does a lot. For me, it does a lot. Because I could totally see how he's now that. Yeah. He's now that.
Starting point is 00:17:01 For me, when I'm watching it and I see CGI change it, I go, now I see how it's that. But the end of each episode, he would very sadly have to leave town. Would he cry? I don't know if we never saw. His back would be the camera. His back would be the camera. He'd have a knapsack or a backpack. A bindle.
Starting point is 00:17:19 I don't think it was as much as a bindle. Not a hobo bindle with polka dots. No, it was. There's only so much you can. fit in a bindle. I mean, it's like, that's like Apple, bottle of beer, extra shirt. He just got rid of a bunch of clothes because he ripped him off. He burst out of him.
Starting point is 00:17:32 But he'd be walking. Don't get turned on, ladies. He'd be walking down the side of the road. His waist would remain the same size. That's hot. That's fucking hot. That's one good thing about being a Hulk. Yeah. You're always a 32-Incy.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah. There are two ways. He'd be walking down the road. Mm-hmm. And you would hear just this plaintive piano music start. Ding, ding, ding, ding. You got to play it. We got to hear it. I'm looking at Lou now.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Lou Ferrignau? First of all, I don't know how recent this picture is, but he's looking kind of fine. Oh my God. It's even more haunting than I remember. But this is him then. Yeah. Okay, so in this particular one,
Starting point is 00:18:19 everyone is watching him go. Who's that? Oh, he's getting on a bus in this one. That's nice. He doesn't have to walk. That's pretty. Yeah, a lot of times you'll be walking. That's dating.
Starting point is 00:18:26 David? Yeah. It's David Bruce Banner. Oh. This feels like someone is playing it who uploaded the video. No kidding. It was a big clam in there. I feel really sad watching that.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Yeah, this is not the, this is not. I feel really sad for a lot of reasons. Okay. Let's hear a, let's hear, hopefully this is a more professional presentation of this. I just have to. Dude, pretty impressed by Lou Farragno in this situation. Okay, calm down. No, I'm calm.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Okay, so it's exactly the same. There we go. No, it's not. Well, the quality is better. This is right. There he goes down the street. He's walking down the streets. Back when streets were real streets, you know, in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Yeah, sure. Covered with dog shit. Yeah. He's hitchhiking, a car. Nope, not going to stop for this weirdo. did he just morph into a different Yeah they morphed him into another shot Walking down the fucking highway
Starting point is 00:19:37 This music though is is affecting Yeah Look this was TV Look how long this is going on And that's like every episode He would like do this at the end The story's over He's like got it
Starting point is 00:19:49 He's trying to get to the next episode You have another five minutes of him walking around But you needed it because you had nothing else to watch You'd sit there and just be like, yep. And it was... No, this is compelling. This is like, I feel like I'm watching like a dramatic film.
Starting point is 00:20:07 What's the movie I'm thinking of? This is as good as... Kramer versus Kramer. Let me tell you, this is as good as any film I've ever seen. Yeah, absolutely. That's cinema. And famous that you haven't seen any... Still going! I have a feeling this is a montage of a whole bunch of different ones put together.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Because of the clothes changing? Yeah. And how it's different seasons and how it's like all he gets older. Yeah. He's got a big white beard in the last one. I loved him when I was a kid, Bill Bexby. I thought he was a cool guy. I mean, for what reason, though, other than he just played the Hulk?
Starting point is 00:20:37 You know what I mean? But that is cool. I don't, there was certain... What else is the person I had to fucking knew? There were certain actors I was just drawn to in a way. Like, I just liked this guy. Yeah. Hey.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I mean, what else had he done? My favorite Martian? My favorite Martian, there you go. Ashton re-answered. Him and Mr. Hand. That's one I never really caught up with. He died young. Yeah, he did.
Starting point is 00:20:58 That's unfortunate. He did. I wish we all could live to be a thousand years old. That's long. Okay. But look at that. But look at that. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Watch this. Watch this. So say you're like me and you have a kid late. Yeah. You know, your kid, when you die at 1,000, your kid has 50 more years. What do you care about seeing the end of that? You know what I mean? They've already lived 950 years.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Hold on a second. You live to be 1,000. Yeah. And how old are you? And you die at 1,000. Yeah. And your kid is 950 by the time you die. It's like, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:21:34 You know what? You make a good case. You know what I'm saying? I can't argue with that. I'll tell you what, don't deep dive on his stuff. I just got so sad. Bill Bixbo?
Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah. Why, what happened to him? Can't talk about it. Okay. We'll look it up after this break. I can tell you, but don't tell anyone else. During this break. Picture this.

I'm not peeping through your windows. I'm not installing cameras on the grounds of your home. Oh, but the reason I say it is, I don't know about you, but I really enjoy keeping my money.
Starting point is 00:23:47 And for years, I just accepted that my phone bill was going to be weirdly expensive for no reason. Every month that was like, okay, here's your bill, plus mysterious fees plus charges we'd hope you don't ask about. and I'd be like, I guess that's phones. Idiot. Eventually, I was like, it doesn't have to be this way.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And that's why Mint Mobile makes so much sense to me. They exist to stop people from overpaying for wireless just because that's how it's always been. Mint Mobile offers premium wireless plans starting at just $15 a month and all plans come with high-speed data plus unlimited talk and text on the nation's largest 5G network.

He's always saying like, oh, I was able to bring my own phone a number, activated with ESIM in minutes, and avoid the whole painful wireless store experience entirely. Oh, I'm still getting reliable coverage,
Starting point is 00:24:48 except now my phone bills and financially ruin my mood once a month. And I'm like, okay, man, I thought we were friends. Why are you talking to me like that? I'm so jealous. If you like your money, MintMobil is for you. Shop plans at mintmobile.com slash freedom. That's mintmobile.com slash freedom.

Summer always changes the way I want to dress. Now, that sounds like it's trivia about me, but it's not.
Starting point is 00:25:24 The second it gets warm out, I want to stop wearing anything complicated or uncomfortable. I just want pieces that are light, easy, and somehow make it look like I have my life together. And that's why I've been loving Quince lately. They have really beautiful elevated basics.

They also now have home goods, kitchen items, betting all these elevated everyday essentials, that make your life feel slightly more put together,

Starting point is 00:29:47 Probably around a million bucks. Two elephant man skeletons. 1.28 United States dollars. So we got about $1.28 million. That's life-changing money in France. In France. What's everyone reading or watching? I'm reading The Men by Sandra Newman.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I just bought two books and I went to Disneyland two days ago with Emmy and her best friend who had never been. Wow. And I brought one of the books.

Starting point is 00:33:38 fascinated. And then she says something where it's like, what the fuck? well I'm ready for that too. I have no opinion. You know, one thing that's kind of interesting is that I follow her on substack. And again, I repeat, I am a fan. And she has been really active on substack. And then somebody called out like on substack like, oh, I love how this.
Starting point is 00:34:02 And they named a person like this person and Lena Dunham created a substack to promote her book. And it created this whole like basically make it really exciting and like follow along with her. She gets a lot more writing on there.

Starting point is 00:36:01 And then I remember crank yankers being funny as like a thing after that. It was a lot of prank calling happened. The other time I remember laughing in public really hard was when I was on a plane and I bought that letters from a nut book. Oh yeah. I remember those. I remember crying laughing at them. And someone tapping me on the shoulder saying, what is your book? I need to, I need some laughs. Letters from a nut. Yeah. It was always rumored to be Jerry Seinfeld because he wrote the introductions and it was always like, oh, he might have, and they're real letters that this person
Starting point is 00:36:35 would send to people. Donnevello. But it was not actually Jerry Seinfeld. It was someone else. Letters from a nut. is a humorous book by Barry Martyr, published under the pseudonym Ted L. Nancy. Featuring absurd and innocent letters, he writes to corporations, hotels, and government agencies, along with their often serious deadpan responses. Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed. Kamal.

Starting point is 00:39:30 No. Don't write that down. No. No. No. No. Okay. I said it.
Starting point is 00:39:39 By the way, if people were listening to these backwards and hearing this first and then hearing how prudish you were. No, you guys have destroyed prudish. Prudish. I like to say, adult. Prudish. Dear prudish. Anyway, I bought these books and I really want to read them and I'm trying. Should I take them on tour?
Starting point is 00:40:01 I know I never will. What books did you read? No, here's what you're supposed. On tour? Yeah. You're allowed to take one. Okay. And on every, listen, on every plane ride, you open it and you read one page.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Just tell yourself that. Okay, but we're not taking plane rides for the most part. That's demented. Don't read a page. Well, you're not going to read a page. You're going to read more than a page, but you're giving yourself the out. What if it ends in the middle of a sentence? You don't read a page, he'll read a page.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I'm supposed to remember the beginning of the sentence. See, Lawrence. Every night before bed, you read five pages, period. Period. Point blank. Done. Books over by the end of the tour. Period in your face.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I just don't. I just don't think I... Then don't bring them. It just is not going to fit into our tour lifestyle. Just don't bring it. Do you read at night before bed? Sometimes. It's a great way to actually calm the mind after a great show.
Starting point is 00:40:47 I used to. But now I have, okay, Amy goes to sleep, say 7.30. You go to sleep 7.31. I, okay, last night I put her to bed at 7.30 and I put on a movie and I was falling asleep at 8.15. That's good. But there's usually my homework that I have to do watching a movie. I usually have those two hours that I can watch that movie and I can't fit anything else. I know.
Starting point is 00:41:13 It's very hard. It's very hard with children's bed times. Last night I fell asleep in holidays' bed and then I went and I woke up and it was 9.15. How would you know about it? And then I went in my bed and I went, I'm going to sleep right now. Yeah. And it was a bold move because I could watch a show. But I said, no, I'm going to sleep right now.
Starting point is 00:41:29 I went to bed at 9.15 last night. That's what I did. And woke up at 445. Oh, I didn't have that. She does a thing that makes me laugh where sometimes if it's like kind of early to be going to bed. I can see like she's falling asleep on the couch, right? Watching TV. And then I'll like call her on it and she'll laugh and she'll say, I'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:41:54 And she just goes and gets in bed. That's cute. I love bits within a marriage. It's fun. Bits from a marriage. That's the book I'm going to write. Nuts. whatever it's called nuts.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Why don't you do an image search? We'll figure it out. Letters from a nut, bits within a marriage. I'll do an image search. I love to read in bed and I would say probably read like at least a chapter a night. That's good. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I like to read in bed too. I'm struggling right now because I use a Kindle a lot of times if I'm put and it's good for on the go. Because like, you know, if I go out to dinner by myself, it's very easy to read a book while you're eating dinner or something. Yes, yes, yes. But I am finding I just really want some pages. I sort of wish I could have both. I wish it was like the same price to like buy a book physical and you'd get the ebook copy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:44 I wish that it was a computer like a Kindle. But then you reached into the screen and turned the pages. Reading Rainbow. I wish that in the game operation. Yeah. The pieces were squishy. It's funny that you're talking about that this morning I was doing a real operation thing. I was thinking I feel like I'm doing operation right now.
Starting point is 00:43:02 Was it the one that I gave you? Yeah, I was playing Shrek operation. No, I dropped, you know, like a little plastic tag from like a t-shirt where you take the tag off. Oh, yeah. There was like, that was on the kitchen counter from like a toy. And then I did something and it, I knocked it and I went right into the stove in the gas, like in the part where you turn on the flame. Oh, no. So then I had to like pick it out, but it was really hard because my fingers were too fat to get in there.
Starting point is 00:43:27 You have the fattest figures I've ever seen. You don't know that. It's like King Charles. Next time you see a picture of Lauren. Look at her hands. It's where all my weight goes. I immediately gain weight in the hands. You had to go on a diet for your show, right?
Starting point is 00:43:38 Yeah, just for the hands. Yeah. And then I got a knife and I, but I was like, I need the, I need tweezers. I need operation. Precision. Yeah. Two spatulas. It was crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:47 It was crazy. It was so nice. I know what in my house even knew what happened. Hearing it is nuts. I need two flathead screwdrivers. But I saved. What would have happened if it turned on though? You would have killed everyone.
Starting point is 00:43:57 You would have killed everyone. Would it just be stinky? Yeah. What was it that fell down there? I wasn't listening. Fuck off. What was it the fell down there? A mouse.
Starting point is 00:44:09 A mouse. A mouse. A mouse. All right, we have to take a break. We're back. We're back. Not like Dr. David Bruce Banner. Although we see his back when he walks to another town.
Starting point is 00:44:35 It's funny. I'm sorry to reach back into the Hulk. Yeah. But that he's being chased by a reporter and not by like the government. I know. You know what I mean? Or at least another scientist who knew him. Honestly.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Why can't he talk to the reporter? Isn't this more what we're getting? Tell him. Tell your story. It's not kind of prescient. Speak your truth. Where it feels like now it's all up to us to resolve things because the government's not actually going to do it.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Yeah. So it's actually the reporter doing that is like doing. But what if he's part of the mainstream media? Well, that could be a problem. Yeah. Barry Weiss's CBS. Oh. Duda, do not you're saying Barry White.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Doodoo da, dude us. That was Bari. Is it not Bari? It might be Bari. It might be Bari, you know. It might be Bari. Nice. I've never said it out loud before.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Welcome. And I never will again. I assume it's Barry. I think it's Bari. Let's see. Bari am I. Like Bari a minima? Short for Bari.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Let's see what this person says. Ready? Bari Weiss. That's not. Is this some. prove anything like Mary Weiss Whenever you play one of those Like anyone and you're like okay the robot says it's that
Starting point is 00:45:45 I'm like how does that prove anything That's not proving anything Well okay here's what the AI overview says We don't know it was for a name It's different like if it's for a word Right this says it's pronounced I'm not trusting that This says it's pronounced bar It has the phonetic pronunciation
Starting point is 00:46:01 It says like Wally Yeah it's pronounced Barri Weiss And then it says Bari pronounced like Barry Thanks, AI. See, that's what I'm talking about. Fucking idiot. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Well, guys, we... That's just the overview. That's the overview. If you get into the end-up, it's even worse. Balls deep in that. If you get granular with AI. Hey, so little Richard Cherubi is in the news this week. No, he's not.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I forgot about him. You forgot about him? So other people remembered him, so he's still... No, he's in the new... But now you've remembered him. So he's back. Yeah. He made headlines this week.
Starting point is 00:46:38 It was crazy. He made, I mean, it was. Wow, I was on a news cleanse. What happened? It wasn't above the fold. I was also on a news cleanse and my phone was off. What happened? So little Richard Shrewdy.
Starting point is 00:46:48 What happened? He's been installed as like a puppet dictator in another country. It's, no, not another country. Yeah. But wait. How many is it now? Right now he's up to seven countries. How can he be puppet dictator of seven countries?
Starting point is 00:47:01 So is he alive? Oh, oh, is he alive? Just talk to the citizens of whatever this country is. God, I want to bone you? God, I want to bone you? Oh, no. Oh, no. Little Richard Cherubi, head of state of God, I want to bone you.
Starting point is 00:47:21 He's been installed. And he is. They did a big installation. Yeah. Oh, my God. Where they had. I want to say something. First, they were trying it with friends.
Starting point is 00:47:31 They were going to bribe him with pizza. What do you want to say, Lauren? We need to kill him. Lauren. Lauren. Lauren. Lauren. Lauren.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Lauren. You meaning you want to get like someone to take care of him. Like, you know. Take care of him. Sure. He said kill. No, I want him to give him a hand job. Would you take care of my friend?
Starting point is 00:47:49 I gave my hand job. That's what you wanted, right? That's not what I meant. No, I want you to kill him. That's not us. You're right. That was, I was. It's not up to us.
Starting point is 00:47:58 The thing is, that was my inner demons speaking. What's wild is it would be so easy to kill him because he's, he loves to see us. The last I heard he was stuck being. small. Yes. Yeah, he's small. Yeah. But also he, we're, we're three of the only people that he'll see without, like, patting us down or he just, like, he considers us to be his best friend. That's why it would be the perfect. If we offer him, if we offer him food, he'll eat it. Yeah. Yeah. So I'll give him a little hostess cupcake with full of poison in the middle. Poison in the middle, but it got much back. Soison in the middle, but it got much back. Instead of the creme, the cupcake. Instead of the cream, it's poison. Poison.
Starting point is 00:48:36 Le Poison Would you like your cupcake? He loves Hostess brand. Yeah, he loves those. It's kind of his main thing. So here's what we do. We go to the Hostess Corporation. We say, will you make us a special batch of poison cupcakes?
Starting point is 00:48:51 Wait a second. Yeah. I have an idea. Okay. Now, this involves Drake's cakes. Oh, okay. Those are good. What if we smother him in the middle of a devil dog?
Starting point is 00:49:02 Okay, so we put him in it like it's a bed. Yes, we say it's a tanning bed. Yes. We say rich. You're looking really pale. You look pale. You're going to be the dictator of seven countries. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:11 We need you to get in this tanning bed. And it's the kind that it's like, once it clamps down on him, it fills up with this kind of liquid that then hardens around him. It's the devil dog. We told him the devil dog is a tanning bed. And then you eat him. He lays down. I mean, I don't want to waste a devil dog. I mean, I'll take half if no one else is going to have it.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Now, a devil dog is dark chocolate. is dark chocolate with cream. Yes, it's chocolate cake, a blonde chocolate cake with cream in the middle. It is extremely dry. The cream's not doing its job. It's not, the cream, it can only do so much.
Starting point is 00:49:49 I'm pretty pissed because the sprinkles cupcakes at the Americana closed down. And they made a hostess cupcake kind of cupcake that was so good. Like it was like a, it was that, you know. And you'd put them in your lunches? I'd put it in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:50:03 in the car on the way and home. Okay, let's get that clean. Say it one more time. I'd put it in my mouth in the car on the way home. Thank you. The hostess cupcake-style cupcake. Everyone will let you continue.
Starting point is 00:50:21 But anyway, so our website is just in severe disrepair. It's a mess. If you go there, sometimes it works fine. Sometimes you go there and it's little Richard Cheruby, and he is doing the wagging finger saying, uh,
Starting point is 00:50:36 a, a, ah, ah, ah, ah. And you don't know what he's saying that in reference to. Like, you don't want me on the website. You don't want me leaving a phone message. I don't know what you're trying to say. If you leave it on long enough
Starting point is 00:50:46 without closing the window, he eventually says, like Jurassic Park, dickhead. Yeah, but that's not getting even more specific about what he's upset about. No, it's just like, yeah, I got the reference. Yeah, exactly. That wasn't my issue.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Yeah. Anyway, so it's, uh, look, we apologize to any, who's been on there trying to figure out, you know, trying to prank their friends with a novelty dictionary. We're of course talking about the famous website, hag claims a.com. Yes. He is our webmaster, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:51:17 And we didn't know quite what that word meant when we said that he could be that. I thought it was an honorary title. Yeah. Oh, like Spider-Man. Yeah. Yeah, like Spider-Man. Yeah, it's an honorary title. Like Sir Paul McCartney.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Spider-Man. The rest of these honorary title. these honorary titles. Anyway, so we're going to play whatever has come up in these. These voicemails people leave us on the website for some reason. I don't know why people are leaving voicemails on the website. I pray that these voicemails have not been corrupted by the vile mind of Little Richard Sherwoody. He's doing a lot to the actual inner workings of the site.
Starting point is 00:51:54 Yeah. Yeah. You'll leave what you think is an anodyne message that's just very genteel. And he gets in there and he tweets. the ones and zeros. He changes some zeros to ones, other ones to zeros, and your message comes out just being, you know, just jibberish sometimes. You know what's the worst? He's making people that are otherwise intelligent people sound absolutely stupid as shit. Now, I hope that didn't happen here. I hope that didn't happen here, but we'll see if he's been up to his old tricks here. Anyway, let's play one of these messages that people have left us. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Hey, gang, I am a relatively new listener, a piss piglet, if you will. And I am calling an interstate. response to a listener voice mail you received over a year ago. Bring me of episode number 32. Who are you? And I'm calling to say, happy anniversary shame. Because you guys gave him great advice to put himself out there and attend a single dating event where he met me, Maggie from Minneapolis. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I'm calling in post-bone zone because if I called from the bone zone, it would ruin the surprise. And this is his anniversary gift. I would love to know from you all, what should we focus on in year or two to really take this to the next level? Thank you. I'm sorry. Love you, Shane. So cute. She said love you, Shane, by the way, at the end.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Sorry, I talked to over that. We love you too, Shannon. We love you, Maggie. That's so sweet. That's so cute. Thank you for the message. I have chills. I'm multiplying.
Starting point is 00:53:16 I didn't know what she was going to say when she was referencing that and saying happy anniversary to him. I was like, I actually didn't get it for a second. I didn't either. And when it unfolded, I felt such delight. And we encouraged someone to do something outside of their comforts out. And then they met. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:32 A partner. Now look, this is wonderful. Thank you, Maggie, for that message. We want to take 100% of the credit. Absolutely. Oh, well, yeah. I think Shane wouldn't have gone. No.
Starting point is 00:53:45 It wasn't for us. I wonder if he would have went to a different one. And would she have been at that one? Who knows? But whatever, I mean, everything worked out as it should. Isn't that strange how the universe works? Siding doors. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:58 But I think going into year two, you want to focus on listening, connecting, you know, keep the romance alive. Bone zone privately. Stop bone zoning in public like you have been doing for this entire year. You don't need to tell us that you're not actively having sex when you're calling. We assume that. I do.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I typically do assume that. Yeah. Yeah. Unless I hear. Now I'm going to assume that people are having sex anytime they call us. Yeah. I hope they never do that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:29 From now on. If you call us, if you are not having sex, you don't need to say anything. If you are having sex when you call us, you need to tell us. And you need to tell us right away so we can delete the voice. You know what, though? I think that might have been the work of Little Richard Shrewby. Oh. You think he put that in there?
Starting point is 00:54:46 He put that in there, yeah. Because nobody would do that. No, no. Yeah. Nobody would do that on a sweet voicemail. Yeah. Well, I, look, I have no advice for year two because being in year 27, I can't even remember that far back. So I have no advice. I think you're still in the fun time where it should
Starting point is 00:55:07 just be a blast. And if it's not fun, then you need to reassess. But I think you're, I think people can not, I mean, people can have difficulty, though, in the, I'm not saying it's not. 100% of the time. I think it's okay to have difficulty, but I'm saying you overall should be enjoying each other. Your overalls should be enjoying each other. Guys, you should get overalls. Oh, you need matching overalls because that's the anniversary for second anniversary. Yeah. You want to look like Mr. Green jeans at all times. Both of you. Green denim.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Yeah. Green denim. Green denim. Anyway, congratulations to you, Shane and Maggie. Thank you for your call. Thank you. I'm glad you were able to find the website with everything that's been going on with it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Thank you for your contributions. Let's hear another one. Here we go. Hi, freedom gang. This is Zach. I'm a huge fan of, hey, where you just said reminds me of song lyrics, the podcast. Thank you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:00 My question is, I love George Michael, and the song, Careless Whisper is awesome. And anytime I hear it or think of it, what comes into my head now is, I'm never going to poop again. That's correct. And I was curious if there's any bits you've done that have now completely replaced a good thing in your mind forever. But thank you for the podcast. I mean, you've had stress, insomnia a lot. And I will listen to old episodes of your podcast while laying in a dark room in the middle of the night. And it keeps me from going insane.
Starting point is 00:56:39 So that's nice of you. Zach, thank you. Thank you, Zach. I can't imagine this show keeping someone from going insane. Or keeping someone awake. Or helping them sleep. Yeah. I can't do either one.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Honestly, it's true. Can't give you awake. Can't help you sleep. Yep. I feel like my brain is broken and I, everything is something else. and everything is going to be something else. Yeah. So there's no, yeah, there's almost no joy.
Starting point is 00:57:06 I'll tell you. My favorite song is ruined forever. My favorite song, Shave and a haircut, because I just automatically think two bits. That's your favorite song. Shave and a haircut. Beautiful melody. Shave in a haircut.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Shave and one haircut. And then everyone always chimes in and goes, Bats. It's like, shut the fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Roger Rabbit has ruined me, I think, for, uh, for three dimensional.
Starting point is 00:57:38 The male ideal. Yeah. Please. How am I supposed to live up to that? He's so hot. His teeth. His proportions. You might not like what it look like, but not look up.
Starting point is 00:57:51 I forgot the. Wow. I've never seen that happen to you. Never? I don't think so. Wow. I think I've never. I've never seen that.
Starting point is 00:58:00 I've tried to hide it from you. Yeah, you've done well. Yeah, I don't know. There are a lot of songs where I, I mean, the ER theme song, I would just sit there mouthing, it's ER, it's ER. You remember how it goes. Dr. Bruce Banner, pelted by Gamma Race. Gammer.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Gammer. Yeah, I mean, I think, I hope to get some medication soon that will change the way this works. I know that there are, there's, can I prescribe you something? It's hard to think of one off the top of my head, but I know there are things that we do on this show that now, of course, have crept into my regular. Lexicon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Oh, I want to say, yeah. Mary and I did our show in Austin, what is now a million years ago, but it was last weekend. And there we spoke to a piss pig in the audience. Oh. Told us a great story. And then we, I got piss pig cheers,
Starting point is 00:58:58 other piss pigs in the audience. And I was very delighted to see you all there. So thank you for coming. It was very nice. Did you have to explain it to Mary on stage what that meant? I did. I explained it to everyone because I couldn't let it. Hang, I just said that this is the name they chose.
Starting point is 00:59:10 And we didn't, I just obviously told the truth. I think I told you that at Paul McCartney, I was standing in line. And because I could barely hear, I made her repeat it. And she's like, I'm a piss pig. I hope this is weird to say. I'm a bit of a piss pig. I just mimed the guitar. Miming the guitar.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Do you ever mime the bass? He never mimed the bass. Do you ever slap a bass? I occasionally will slap a bass. What's the matter for you? Why you look so sad? Slap a de base. Ah, Joe Dolce.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Was that who did that? I love that song when I came out. Joey Sweet. And now you couldn't pay me a million dollars to listen to it. Is that true? No, you probably could. Do you want to? I do have a million dollars
Starting point is 00:59:54 Oh yeah pay me to listen to it Here it is Thank you Now let's hear it Okay Do you know this song What What's the matter for you
Starting point is 01:00:05 It's called shut up you face Let's hear a little bit of shut up you face But first Okay Thank you hurt I gotta get paired Oh number two of two For Spectrum
Starting point is 01:00:20 I'm glad to I'm glad Joe Dolce is monetizing his... Good for you, Joe. They love it already. This is a live version, I guess. They love it already. Shut up your face. Is he wearing a captain's hat?
Starting point is 01:00:43 No, I think it's like a pork pie that's like... Oh, I see. On the, like, tilted far back. Isn't this beautiful? This is very Adam Sandler. It kind of is the... I wouldn't be surprised if Adams got his entire career off of this. Here it comes.
Starting point is 01:01:06 What's the matter for you? Hey. Why you look a sack. Hey. I forgot you got a no respect. It's a not so bad. It's a nice a place. I shut up of your face.
Starting point is 01:01:19 That's my mama. Cute. That's not an accordion. I think it's a big Italian. That was a top. accordion solo. That was a top 40 hit. When it came on, I was in sixth grade and I was listening to KFI AM radio.
Starting point is 01:01:38 And her life was changed forever. And I was like, it's so strange when a novelty song gets picked as, oh, no, we're going to play this on top 40 radio and make this popular. Yeah. This is what you idiots want to hear. It's always like, I can only imagine if you're like a casual music fan who just wants to hear hits and you have to hear that while you're listening to the radio. Pac-Man fever.
Starting point is 01:02:04 General Hospital. Do you know about Pac-Man fever by Buckner and Garcia? I don't. That was a... Pac-Man fever. Not, I mean, close. All right. Pac-Man fever.
Starting point is 01:02:15 I think that's how it went. It goes a little something. Nothing beats a jet to holiday. Like this. Some reason. Okay. I got to turn it up. Oh shit.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Does it have lyrics or you just remember? No, I mean, are there? Oh, no, I just remember it. Wow. I've heard it several times over the past few years. I own the song and I'm always happy when it comes up. I own the song and I bone the song. Wow.
Starting point is 01:02:53 I have not heard this since it was on the radio. What would the equivalent of this be right now? And backer. Like grown up people singing like. I got TikTok fever. Probably. I love to scroll all day and scroll all day. Lauren, we should record this.
Starting point is 01:03:27 You're right. Yeah. That would be really good. A parody of a novelty song. Yes. It's very weird out. Or like the curly shuffle but the TikTok shuffle. By the jump of the saddle band.
Starting point is 01:03:41 You know that song is back for me. I know because of the it would be played a comedy club. It's trauma. It's trauma. Yeah. or trauma as Jamie Lee Curtis says. Hey Tick. It's generational trauma.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Hey TIG. What? I'm saying Tick-Tog fever. Hey TIG. Hey TIG. Well, Natar R-R-O. What the hell is happening? We can't be doing this anymore.
Starting point is 01:04:04 No, we have to go. Goodbye. Thank you for your, thank you for your calls. And by the way, we want to say where we're going to be. Want to say, want to say, want to say, want to walk us off. What is the date? I'm suing you. What's the date?
Starting point is 01:04:15 This is June 1. First, we are, Paul and I are on tour with Comedy Bang Bang currently, and we are playing Columbus, Ohio tonight. This week we're in Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, St. Louis, and then we wrap up the first leg in Kansas City. And Lauren, you were on the tour. I had a blast. When he says wrap up the first leg, that means, of course, we're doing a mummy along the way. Yes, exactly. One of the performers we're touring with has requested to be a mummy.
Starting point is 01:04:46 And so we're getting all the herbs and spices and packing them in there with it. Didn't they do that with mummies? Oils and all sorts of stuff. I said, somebody are herbs and spices. I immediately think they can't see. Of course. Well, that was based on mummies. Oh my God, you're right.
Starting point is 01:05:01 He was the only fast food. He had the only fast food reference. That's right. Reference. What's happening? We have to go. They take the chicken brain out. Let us stop.
Starting point is 01:05:11 Okay. Bye, everybody. Thank you.
