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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's like Merrily, we roll along.
Yeah.
Yes.
Or betrayal.
No.
That's right.
Pinter.
I saw Loki and Daredevil do that once.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
Oh, oh.
You don't have dominion?
I don't have da minion.
All right, Chicago.
Domino.
Banana.
Banana.
Is that your jickey?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
What are they unraveling and all the.
It was an appointment television.
Yeah.
Was every episode resolved by the end?
No.
No.
Oh.
Oh.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
It's like 1130 at night.
You're fully not supposed to be shopping.

You add it to your cart.

Absolutely not.

Hey, I don't know about you because I'm not a creep.
I mind me on business.
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.
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.
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

plus unlimited talk and text
on the nation's largest 5G network.
Now look, my dear friend, Matt Apodaca,
he's got a Mint Mobile plan.
And this guy's rubbing into my face every time I see him.
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,
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.

Here's a little trivia about summer.
Summer always changes the way I want to dress.
Now, that sounds like it's trivia about me, but it's not.
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.
Linen, organic cotton, washable silk,
all those fabrics that immediately feel nicer
the second you put them on.
Now, Quince has been a friend to me.
They've been a sponsor.
I've gone there.
I've gotten things that are great.
Right now,
They got some linen stuff that I'm excited to be taking with me on tour this summer because I want to be comfortable, but I also want to look sharp.
So I got a, it's a sort of linen suit, more casual, though, less structured.
It's a navy blue.
It's so comfortable and breathable.
And it looks great.
I'm so excited to be wearing it around.
They've got 100% European linen pants, dresses and tops.
starting at just $32.
Their denim is also incredibly soft, like me.
And their organic cotton sweaters are perfect for those weird summer nights
where it suddenly drops 20 degrees for no reason.
Also like me.
And the thing that's wild is that everything at Quince is priced 50 to 80% less
than summer luxury brands because they work directly with ethical factories
and they cut out my arch enemy, the middleman.
They also now have home goods, kitchen items,
betting all these elevated everyday essentials,
that make your life feel slightly more put together,
as I referenced earlier.
Thesis statement proven.

Hey, we're back.
Yeah.
Anywho.
There's, I mean, we just looked up.
Bill Bigsby's personal information.
Now we're bummed.
Pretty grim.
Move it along.
Move it along.
Nothing to see here.
Not but a see here.
Naba see.
Nama si.
Manasa.
Mama say, mamma, ma'amakusa.
Mama say, mamma, ma'uza.
I'm writing a song.
What do you think about this?
Okay.
Mama say, mamma say, mamma.
I like that.
I think it needs more around it.
Mama say, mama say, mamma, mamacuza.
Mama say, no, ma'uza.
I mean, if it's a three second song, I love it.
Well, imagine that repeated for three minutes.
Okay, six seconds?
Okay.
Did we?
Yeah.
You have a good imagination.
Did we ever determine if that was actual words?
I think we looked it up and it's actually he stole it from a different song or something.
I can't remember exactly what it was.
I used to like him.
Then I heard he did that.
Oh, my goodness.
And I've heard nothing else.
You know what?
I jumped back into Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Did you really?
Oh, well, I mean, you haven't had a Bachelorette to watch.
That's true. And I've been off the housewives for like a couple of years, kind of, where I haven't really been checking in at all. And then I, and then you know what's really fun is when you just binge it. And I'm enjoying that. And I'm enjoying because Rachel Zoe is on the new season. And she's a fashion designer who I grew, she had a reality show when I was younger. I can't picture her, but I remember that name. Yeah. And so she was, so it's fun to see her in life now.
By the way, it is taken from Manu DeBango's 1972 song, Solmakosa.
Somakosa or Makusa.
Somakasa.
Yes.
The phrase stems from the Duala language, roughly meaning dance or I Will Dance.
And the original phrase in DeBango's track was, Mamako, Mamaca, Mamakusa.
Okay.
Mamakocauza.
Mamakusa.
Mamako, mammaqusa.
Mamako, mammaca, mammaca.
Mamako, mamma, ma ma'aaaaaaaa.
Mamaakuza.
Oh, that's better.
Yeah.
What does that mean?
That means dancer I will dance.
Dancer I will dance.
So he made it.
Mama say,
Mama Samu Makk.
So what does that end up meaning?
So Michael Jackson was sued, wait for it, by Manu de Bango.
I changed it to say.
And the lawsuit was settled out of court with Jackson paying one million French francs.
That's nothing to him.
It's nothing.
How much was one million French francs, I wonder?
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.
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.
You thought you would read at Disneyland while they were doing something.
Well, no, no, no, dear.
Okay.
You thought you would read on a ride.
I brought a book of Disneyland signs.
No, we went a day before and stayed in an adjacent hotel.
And I thought, you know what?
The kids are going to swim.
I'm going to bring this book aspirationally and get into it and read one chapter and that'll get me going where I just want to.
Yes.
And, of course, I had to watch.
jammy the entire time in the pool and she wanted to continually go down this slide over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
you're a kid there's a slide forget about it but let me tell you what the book is let me go get it once and i want to hear
about this book the men yes it is a book by sandra newman who's an author i really like a lot um read a bunch
of her stuff and i always enjoy it um and it's about um one day all the men disappear from earth
I love this book.
Wouldn't that be great?
So I got two books by Christian Whitehead.
I got Harlem Shuffle and Kurtzmanifesto.
How is it?
I read one of those.
I really enjoyed it.
And so I'm,
and then I pre-ordered the third in the trilogy,
which is coming out in June or July.
I like how the covers go together.
That's just so pleasing.
Yes.
I love Shil like that.
I just read a very popular book right now called
Strangers by Bell Burden,
which is a story.
of two wealthy people divorcing in the pandemic.
Sorry.
It's one of them from Mipos?
From meatballs.
Mipos.
Is one of them, Bill Murray?
It's one of them spas?
What's Mipos?
Meatos, the island of Mipos?
I didn't think that, I didn't know what you're talking.
No, they're not.
They're from, they live.
Oh, so they're not perfect strangers.
I fucking got your ass.
At your own game.
This is about Balkees.
divorce. No, it's a memoir by this woman. And now there's going to be a TV show
of it where Gwyneth Peltro plays her. But yeah, so I read that as I ate it up, but
had my issues with it. Did you leave any crumbs? I left crumbs. They left crumbs. They left crumbs.
I ate and left crumbs. She left a little bit of crumbs. I felt I had some thoughts about it.
But it was overall very compelling book. But now I'm reading Christina Applegates a memoir.
Oh, wow, wow, wow.
Which has a lot of sad stuff.
Yeah.
She talked about me waiting on her dad?
Everyone's heard this story.
Yeah, she talks about that.
She opens the book with that.
No, but her dad left her family.
Oh.
So.
Does she talk about us?
At what point?
What year?
When she was little.
Okay.
No wonder you was such a weirdo when I waited on.
Does she talk about us standing near each other smoking cigarettes during the filming
of Anchorman?
That's page two.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
So one day my dad was waiting.
on by Scott Ockerman.
Yeah.
No, she's super cool and I'm interested.
And I'm also going to read Lena Dunham's book, which, you know, people, very divisive.
I'm a fan.
I'm interested.
Here's what I've heard is that I think it's, everybody I know that's read it is saying it's so
on track with Lena Dunham where there's so much that you agree with where you're interesting,
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.
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.
And you kind of like gear up to read them.
book by reading her essays and stuff. I thought it was a very creative way to promote a book and
very, and it worked. We should do that for this show. Yeah. Our show by writing on substack.
Yeah. Essays. Wouldn't that be great? A great use of our time? Why don't we do it like almost
love letter style? Yeah, to each other where we, it's around Robin. We have to write and we have to write
a conversation that we would have. You mean to play love letters. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Not the concept.
I think Scott should write love letters to Paul and we post him on substack.
Okay.
Or at least mash notes.
Yeah.
How about smash notes?
Spark notes.
How about smash mouth?
Want to smash?
Clif notes?
Why don't we just write smash mouth lyrics?
Hey, now. You're a Cliffs notes.
Get story told real fast.
They're still out there.
I know I know the lead singer is no long.
No, smash mouth.
Don't they have a new lead singer and there?
Are they still playing?
Yeah, what happened to that guy?
He became a jerk or something?
He became dead?
Yep.
Well, that's a jerky thing to do.
Hey, jerky.
Hey, jerky.
Hey, sizzle chest
You're a sizzle chest
My favorite jerky boy's insult
Cizzle chest
What the fuck?
The one guy Johnny was so funny
Oh my gosh
It was Johnny and Red Man
No Camel, not Red Man
That's a bad red man
That's about Red Man
I think it was Camel wasn't it or
I thought Red was in there somewhere
Uh sure
Maybe you're thinking of Red's tube bar
Were you a jerky boys fan?
We've talked about this
Oh, a bit yeah
I didn't remember any of his names
the day that someone had a
like bootlegged CD of it
and we were in his
Not an official one?
It was burned.
All I remember was it was burned and he was like,
I'll burn you one.
And we were in his truck
and listening to it when I was in theater school
and we were like crying laughing at it.
I was so fine.
I remember being really funny.
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
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.
The Jerky Boys.
And Donnevello did a letter, the Laslow letters.
He did a book of letters.
Yes, right.
Was the same concept.
Yeah, yeah.
They really had Jerry Seinfeld in a chokehold on this shit.
He wrote a million introductions.
I mean, there were three books?
No, there's like a bunch.
Oh, really?
Really?
There's what I'm seeing to be too many.
I mean, I read the first one.
More letters from a nut.
Hello, junk mail, something with a nut.
Yeah.
All new letters from a nut.
Letters from a nut family tree.
I read the first one on a plane and I was left.
Shut the fuck up.
I need to hear these titles.
Letters from a nut.
You already said that one.
No, I didn't.
I'm telling you this is a different.
covers.
But you said letters from a...
That was the first one.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Even more letters from an...
Extra nutty.
And there's...
Extra nutty.
All new letters from a nut.
And there's more letters from a nut.
They're not the same.
Are there more?
Let me find out.
But I think by the third one, I think I read them all.
I binge read them all.
Sure.
By the third one, I was like, I sort of get this.
But the first one, I was really dying.
What are the things do you not understand?
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I think I've said them all, but you screamed over them, so maybe I should do it again.
I was listening.
Lauren, I was listening.
Okay, okay.
Okay, fine.
Letters from a nut.
More letters from a nut.
All new letters from a nut.
Even more letters from a nut extra nutty.
Hello, junk mail.
Hello.
Something with nut.
What?
How are you saying something with nut?
Are you not reading this?
It's really blurry and small.
Afternoon stories.
Why don't you look up on Wikipedia?
Letters from a nuts, family.
You did an image search for letters from a nut?
Here, hello junk mail.
Did they throw it away?
No, they answered it.
No more foot odor, free umbrella,
author of the letters from a nut books.
No more foot odor free umbrella.
That's what it says on there.
That's what it says on there.
I mean, what are you looking at?
The cover of Hello Junk Mail by Ted L. Nancy.
Hello Junk Mail something.
Letters from a nut.
Hello, junk mail.
No more of a letter.
Junk female.
Junk female.
When are we going to have a junk female?
What are we going to have?
And I've been saying that when are we going to have letters from a pussy?
Yes.
The opposite of a nut.
Or what a pussy expel.
What a pussy expels.
No.
Don't write that down.
No.
No.
No.
No.
Okay.
I said it.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Okay.
Bye, everybody.
Thank you.
