Try a listen for it. All right. Freedom! Did you hear it? I'm listening to the music more than you. Listen to me. You want to tell? You were doing the caveman.

Yeah. Yeah. One, two, three. One, two, three. What if on Frozen Caveman lawyer talk like that? That would be great, right? That would have been so classic. It's maybe the best sketch ever.

One of the best sketches ever written. I'm just a, I'm just a simple caveman. Then he's the sleazy's the sluggier. You're a scare me. Electric lights. He's so, man. Such a genius. He was the best.

Garmin. Rest in peace. They said arrest in peace. Arrest people in peace. Let people arrest people in peace. I hope that Phil Harmon went to the heaven where you can arrest people. It would be funny if there was jail in heaven. Heaven jail?

You can't get up to heaven and like, only God is perfect. Heaven isn't too far away. Only God is perfect. So that means there's got to be sin up in heaven. Why are you so obsessed with God? How do you? Yeah. He created us, honey.

You have a crush on him. You're obsessed. I love this guy. You mention him all the time. You're always bringing him up. You bring him up more. You both love God. Yeah, well, it's the way we were raised.

We can't help that we weren't raised like you to be a godless. I'm not godless. Heathen. I just don't need to talk about him all the time. I don't need to. I get to. Come on, Lauren. Be religious with us.

Come on. The Pope made it cool again. I can't wait to see what's in this box. Do do, do, do. Are we starting right with the... We don't know what kinds of conversations could be sparked from the box. The box could give us fuel for an entire episode.

Look, if you're wondering... An entire episode. An entire episode. You know we don't talk about anything, right? Yeah. Okay. There's nothing that a spark conversation for an entire episode.

Before we get to that, let's talk about who we are, what we're talking about. Yes, I'm Paul and I'm talking about saying hello to Lauren. And I'm Lauren, and I'm talking about saying hello to Scott. And I'm Scott and I'm talking about ending this saying hello business by just saying hello to the both of you. Hello. I didn't get a hello. Okay, I just got one from you. Yeah. Lauren didn't give one to you though. What? Lauren, you didn't give a hello to fall. Hello. Hello. Okay. You were the only one who didn't say hello. You're the only one. There's no defense to someone imitating you in that fashion. I know, it's the greatest. Sometimes,

Holly. It's the greatest rhetorical device. Holly will sometimes be like, I kind of make a face and be like back. And I'm going like, I know that you got this from me. I don't know how I showed it to you. I don't recall.

Because you did it to Mike. Yeah. And it's really funny and I'm like, I don't know what to do with this. I would pay a cover charge to see her do that to you. I will try to get it on day. Emmy has started doing this thing where she just lies as a bit. Like not a lie,

you know, self-interested lie. Like she'll just say stuff like, like, you'll go like, oh, was Ezra at school today her friend? And she'll go like, no. And saying it like, challenge me on this because you know that she was there. So she's just like into lying now and then laughing. And if you don't, if you go like, okay, she goes, oh, okay. You believe me? She's so cute.

We got to have some fun time together at a friend's party with the kids. Yes, we had some fun times. And it was very sweet. We went to a baby shower. A baby shower. Some very cute. And Gigi keeps saying, baby shower. Baby shower.

It's like her no favorite phrase. I file. For listeners, I finally got to meet Gigi. Thank God. It was honestly, I feel like a puzzle piece was missing. I feel calmer. Yes. There's like some relief.

Yes. We got along famously. She, look, she didn't want to be there. She's a little tired. Yeah, she just woke up. Yeah. She just woke up. She's like, what?

I got a fucking. Now I got to make this trick. I got to bring ching chiro and lovebug to this party. Yeah. What's the other one's name? Lovebug and what's the other one? It's the way that you just said that threw off what I actually know to be the name. I lovebog.

Coconchan. Coconchan and love bug. She's got cocan chan. Now look, I took an interesting cocan chan and love bug. And for Gigi, that spoke to her. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, Emmy is obsessed with Paul.

Let's just get it out in the open. I don't know where. she thinks you look like? Yes. The lead character on Octonaut. The lead. Yes. The captain.

Captain Barnacles. When she was watching Octonauts recently, she pointed at the screen and said, he looks like Paul. So it's not that Paul looks like this character. The character looks like Paul. Well, I'm older than the character. And she's known you longer, but I, but so. Yeah.

So at the party, we were sitting down to eat and she's like, I really want Paul to sit next to us. And then you did for a bit and then you walked away. And then at one point she was drawing and you sat down to talk to her. And then you wandered away. And I was still with her. And she bolted up, looked around the party and said, where did Paul go? And then didn't she ask you if you've seen octonauts?

Yes. We were sitting on a couch together and she said, do you like octonauts? And I said, yes, of course. and she said who's your favorite and I said Captain Barnacles and she said

by the way this is all I know about October I don't even know that yes and she said yeah I like him but she never said you

see what I love about this is that A it tells us that kids don't know that we're telling each other everything thank God B she was being polite

yeah she was She didn't want to say, I don't need to say you look like that. Yeah, like most of our fans do all the time. A tiny child knows. To not barrage us with who we look like, who or what we look like. On that same thing about the kids not knowing that we're telling each other. Like I, Holly was saying she missed her cousin.

So I asked my brother to have the kids send a video to Holly. And then she watched a video and they were like, we miss you too. And she was like, why are they saying they miss me too? I didn't say I missed them. And I said, well, I told them that you missed them. And she's like, okay. But I was, she's like, I was like, why are you saying? Rather you didn't miss you.

Why are you saying I miss you? I didn't say I miss you. Keep my words out of your mouth. Very astute observation, I know. Absolutely. Absolutely. And by the way, Holly and Emmy were playing together quite a lot. They were.

It was very cute. They were doing. We need to do a play date. Yes, that would be fun. We got some good pictures of the two of them being very cute together. but they were doing a very funny thing of going to the host's bedroom and jumping on their bed. Yeah. You know, I was kind of like, this is like the one room we shouldn't be.

Yeah, we certainly shouldn't be doing that. Having so much fun just bouncing up and down on the bed and then doing this thing where they go one, two, three, and then jump up in the air and lie down. I was really worried they were going to hit each other on the head. It was came close a couple times. Well, of course, you were worried about that. Yeah. I was. It's my MO.

Because there would be a freaky Friday situation. Yeah, yeah. I have been with two children. We would trade spots with them. You know, if they just trade with each other, it would just be confusing and annoying for them, probably. Wait, I don't have to do this again. Wait, I'm why am I with your mom and dad?

I don't be with my mom and dad. I did this a year ago. I have almost finished assembling my Octonaut's costume. Oh. And so I will show up one day. Okay. This is very exciting. For Emmy, I will put the costume on.

Very good. What does the costume consist of? Well, I got a jumpsuit, a belt, a hat. I got an Octanaut's badge. Oh, an Octanaut's badge. Yeah, okay. Great. Thank you, Red Bubble.

They have it all. They have it all. I ordered from some company a replica of the compass that all the Octanauts have. Okay. It's not arrived yet. Hasn't arrived yet. I love that you did this. Yeah.

I love this. And you're just going to show up one day and say Captain Barnacle is or are you going to be Paul dressed as captain? I'm not going to draw. A fooler. Does he have like a catchphrase? I have no idea. Okay.

Well, I think we need to find out. I should probably look that up. All right, let me look it up. Captain Barnacle catchphrase go. But that is the thing that I really love doing is putting a costume together. It's Captain Barnacol's by the plural. You know, I respect that about you. I don't love doing that.

Really? I just don't care. His primary catchphrase is sound the octoberal. alert. Okay, that's good to know. That's good to know, yes. As the leader of the octonauts, he frequently rallies his crew with phrases like, octanauts, let's do this. Octonauts to the launch bay. And hold on, this could get bumpy. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah. If you're an octanaut. That's what he said. What was the first one? Uh, uh, sound the octo alert. Is that what you're, yeah. That's the, that's probably the thing he says the most. Yeah. You're probably going to want to

say that. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to say that before I walk in the room. Just as she, He's like, what's happening? Wait, October. I heard some. He's Captain Barnacles. He's some clutter. Some clutter. I heard some clutter.

I want to look up Captain Barnacles and see what he sounds like. Yeah, he's, I, I'm going to guess. It's something like this. You haven't heard? I've wandered in and out of the room. Yeah, I don't pay attention. I think, I think it's like this. I'm Captain Octonauts.

Okay, so. And Captain Octonauts? Yeah. Sound the Octo Alert is what I think. The article's fear of tight spaces is what we like... Oh, that's honestly stressful. That's a good runner on it. Because aren't they under the sea?

It's going to happen a lot. You're in a submarine. In like a submersible or something? All right. What's he sound like? Hey, sir, I've never told you this, but I have a fear of tight, closed in spaces. Oh, this is fantastic. Really?

I couldn't be more pleased. He's got a great voice. I have a fear of... I've never told you this, but I have a fear of tight and closed spaces. I love that. I've never had sex. It's got a gorgeous, plummy. accent. That's really

nicely done. Look, can we start a hashtag Get Paul on Octonauts? Get Paul on Octonauts? Get like get me to replace the guy that's doing it? Yeah, fire this guy. Fire this nobody. I'll do it for half his pay. What? Really?

Would you really, though? Just to screw this guy over? Absolutely. Come on. We love this guy. I can do it. I can do it. Nobody'll notice. I have a Quite a fear of enclosed spaces. Wait, you're doing it now. This, by the way, is Simon Greenall, an English actor.

I'll say. Who is approaching... What's he approaching? Approaching us right now. He's approaching 70 years old, I believe he was... Wow. Well, then, yeah. Let him cook.

You know what it is? It's like when you buy a puppy because you're seen your dog, you know, it's going to die soon. Right. So they'll buy you to take his place. get me to do some of his lines. Okay. Yeah, because he can't do all the lines. Yeah. I've grown frightfully tired. That's really good.

I can't continue this sentence. Well, this is great. I had no idea you were buying this costume. This is really good. Yeah, yeah. And you think you're just going to show up one day? Tell it. Just make sure we're here. Yeah. There have been a lot of times where you've shown up and they weren't home. Are you saying that?

It seems like most times we leave. Honestly, I've seen on the ring camera you like poking around. Oh, no, the ring camera. Yeah, you forgot about that? Yeah. That's honestly, that's too bad for like a lot of things that just for the past when you might go, you know, leave a present at someone's door. Or like, you know, if you were like had a crush when you were a teenager and you're going to walk by someone's house or something, then something you're on the ring cam. I know.

But there's one that. Ski master for. Ski-mast. There's one. Bala clava. Malaclava. Confronts had. Some friends have never solved the mystery of who did a certain thing to their house.

So it's like it's for the best, right? I think that's kind of fun. And then back in the, when it's just a, when it's a gag. I'm talking gag or we're talking like something scary. So I feel like it was a gag. This is vaguely familiar to it. I feel like it was a gag. I think having cameras makes sense in this day and age.

I just think it takes away some of the wholesome goodness that we used to have. What is this, England is on the CCTV gov? Yeah. I'm pretty sure Kulap has talked about this on her show, but she, she and, um, Some other people, Paul Shear and some other people, bought these giant Buddy the elf Christmas decorative. Like they're 10 or 12 feet tall and they say elf catchphrases. No, thank you.

And they go and leave them on people's. Why are they so big? They're giant. Bigger than Will Ferrell is in life. Oh, yeah. Why? He's like 11 feet tall and these are 12 feet tall. Yeah, exactly.

But they go and leave them on friends' doorsteps as a prank. and... Like facing the door? No, like... I think you wanted to be larger. I think if it was the size of a man, that would be very scary. Yeah.

You would often be getting jump scares from... So if a size of a man and a half, you're like, oh. Yeah. Well, because you know it's not. This is real. But so one of our friends, Rob Hewbel,

thought it was very funny and filmed him chasing them off like they were vandals and, you know. That's funny. And then another friend did not understand what was happening and got a little upset. upset about it.

Upset is a silly response. I feel like it's obviously just all in good fun and you can go put it on someone else's doorstep, right? Is it kind of like a pass it along? It could be, but I think the second person wanted it off their property and they had to come collect. Wanted it off their prize cardboard? Is it not cardboard?

No, it's like a... 3D? It's three dimensions. Let's look it up. How much does it weigh? That's a good question. How much does it weigh? Anywhere between one pound and a mill?

And a million pounds? I don't know. It's a good question. Hey, man. Hey, man. I thought surely you'd been in contact with one of these things. With what? In contact?

What does that mean? Because who's, like, I'm writing, like, letters to him? Mashed notes to him? What are you talking about? Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, what? Sending Evites to this inanimate thing? Is that what you're talking about? Is this it?

You're sending EFights. Yes. Yes. That's creepy. Ew, it's worse than I thought it was. The face is. awful. So by the way, so they bought one of these and then the day after Christmas they all went, got knocked down on sale. And so

I think they bought a few of them. Well, they're really ugly. I mean, honestly, it's not like welfare. No, I expected it to like, it's leagues away from what I thought it was. It's leagues away from a human face. And any time you pass in front of it, it says like one of six elf catchphrases or something. Wow. I can't imagine anything more irritating. One of six Elf catchphrases. It better not. Oh, really? What are you going to do about it?

You don't want to know. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to put that looking in your fucking window. So when you open your curves. I'm going to put your looking in your fucking. No, that's going to be looking in your window. I would do it. Like Edward Cisherhands did to the religious lady?

Yeah, just like that. Oh, yes. He made a scary topiary. Topi scary. Topi scary. Tope scary. He made a topey scary. Topi scary.

I recently rewatched that movie, which is fantastic. It just holds up. It's just good. Especially with how you feel about Johnny Depp. What a sweet, innocent man. I like the movie. If I were to do it, not to OJU, I would put it at the door, facing the door and ring the door. That's scary as hell.

That would be very upsetting to me because it's scary. You don't know who did it. It's not meant to be scary. meant to be a funny prank of like, but it is scary. But it is scary. There's no way around it. I don't like the face.

I don't like the face this boy's life. Yeah. I think it needs to be different. This is Lauren when she was dating. I don't like the face. They can't be different. These are expensive. Lorenzo Lamas.

This, oh, that's the price of a... I think they got knocked down to $75. Okay. That's reasonable for a bit. Why do I have the phone part of the phone? Who's calling? All I get is spam and telemarketers. I know.

And it's all day long. I know. No one else is calling me. Let me tell you my real calls. There should be a setting where you, it doesn't even ring if it's. Yeah, don't tell me spam risk. Just don't fucking, you know what I mean? Because sometimes it'll go to a separate, it'll still ring, but then it'll go into a

separate folder on my thing where it shows like unknown callers or spam. Yes. I get one. I just look back at, I get one a day plus vitamin. Like do you do call filtering? Yes. But it still rings. It's not. Sometimes it does not. Actually, now I do the call filtering where it asks their name and what they want from me. Oh, I doesn't have that on my thing. Oh, no, it does. Ask reason for calling. Yeah. I like it. And then it's and then I would say about, guys, it's one, two, three, four. It's one, two, three, four.

I'm doing this. I'm doing this. I'm doing this. I'm doing this. I'm doing it. Okay, so here are my real calls. I'm doing that. I hope it doesn't mess up anything. Here are my real calls. I got one yesterday, my co-worker, the baker. I got three on Friday from Wayne Federman.

Wayne was concerned about the music for the Jimmy Parto show. I got, I made two to Jason Manzukas on Thursday. Made two calls. And I received one from Coolup. Wednesday, I made one to bring up. Brett. And I received one from Wayne Federer. This is just you tell us.

Why is he calling you so much? He was doing the music for the Jimmy Pardo 20th anniversary show. And where do I find? I want to chat with, I guess, both of us because Paul seemed to have received these calls as well. Wanted to speak with us. Yes. Regarding intro music. Intro music.

Yes. What we wanted to do. I, of course, asked for the alphabet song. Did you? No. He offered me either. Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh, that's, I mean, difficult to sing, probably.

Easy to play. Easy to play because just do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Do do do do do. I just killed a man. Or I wish the Stevie Wonder song. Which I realized I never knew the name of that song. Yeah. I didn't know what was called I wish.

I never thought about it. that until I got the album when I was 20 and I was like, oh, it's called I Wish. Blip Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, you You nasty boy. How do I do this phone thing that you guys just did? Where do I find in the settings? Okay, tell you what, why don't we take a break and we'll guide you through this? Thank you, honey. Because we don't want any of our listeners to do this because we want them calling.

Manage filtering. Oh, dude, don't say that. We're going to take a break. We'll be right back. I don't know about you, but I like keeping my money where I can see it. And that means you must not know about me. Unfortunately, traditional big wireless characters, characters. Well, these guys are kind of characters.

I'm talking about big wireless carriers. They also seem to like keeping my money, too. After years of overpaying for wireless.

If you know me, you know I love clothes. I'm kind of a bit of a horse about them. And lately, I've been more intentional about what I wear day-to-day, leaning into pieces that feel effortless, comfortable and still put together like my fashion idol, the late Diane Keaton. It just makes getting dressed simpler. Quince has been my go-to, go-to for you. The fabrics feel elevated. The fits are flattering, and everything just works without overthinking it. Quince makes it easy to refresh your everyday this spring with pieces that feel as good as they look. They use premium materials like 100% European linen, organic cotton, and ultra-soft denim.

Their lightweight linen pants, dresses, and tops started $30, and are effortless, breathable, and easy to wear on repeat. Everything at Quince has priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. That sounds good. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen so you're paying for quality and craftsmanship, not brand markup. Look, Quince has been very good to me. I just got some linen pieces that I'm going to be taking with me on the road as I go on tour this summer. I need to be comfortable and I need to look sharp. So I'm accomplishing both.

Thank you, Quince. Refresh your everyday with luxury you'll actually use. Head to quince.com slash freedom for free shipping on your order and 365 day returns.

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. Numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the recents list. It's exciting. And we're back. Now, do I want Ask Reason for Calling, or do I want silence?

I know. I sort of like the drama of just going like, you're going to voice. But then sometimes it's people that you know. No, then they'll leave a voicemail. It is people I know sometimes and they'll go like, oh, you know, it's sometimes it's people who have a reason that you want to talk to them and that's very useful for them to say like, oh, I'm this person. They're not put out by it.

They're not like, oh, I've never heard them ever be because why are you being a gatekeeper? Yeah, but we all get so much spam that it's like, we're at this point now. Yeah, we're at this point now. Anyway, Paul set it up and he's just crushed his can like a total fucking badass. Yeah. Thank you for noticing. Wow. I am intimidated by that.

I am in tears. Okay, so let's talk about this box. Yeah, this is exciting. So quite a few episodes ago, I mentioned that I bought something off of Instagram. And the minute I bought it, I was like, what am I doing? This is the first time I've ever bought anything off of an Instagram link. What if this turns into a Lauren situation where it comes back and it's,

It is the thing I bought, but it's super tiny. Yeah. And then I mentioned, oh, it doesn't seem to be the case because I got the box in the mail. I haven't opened it yet. The box is gigantic. It seems like the type of size that I would want it to be. But then I started thinking, what if it's tiny inside the box? Yep.

So we're going to do it all packaging. This is pretty exciting. We're going to do a live unboxing. And then do you remember what it is? I know it's from regional international outfitters. Don't do your knife like that. You're holding it upside down. Don't do your knife like that.

You don't have to be a mom to me. I just. got scared that you were going to stab yourself. You don't need to worry. But there's a concern because what you're doing is stupid. I'm not worried. I'm

concerned. I'm looking out for you. I don't need that. I have cut myself. From a pier. Okay. Fine. Cut it backwards with a knife with a sharp point going up. I've been using knives. You're not walking us through this unboxing very long. You would fail

on YouTube. You get no clicks. Guess what? I opened it. Wow. You haven't addressed us as guys. Like and subscribe. All right, guys, look, like and subscribe to this podcast we're doing right now. Will, if you like and subscribe, we promise to unbox one thing. And Lauren will yell at whoever's using the knife.

If you could have seen how he did it was doing the knife. It was not dangerous at all. Anyone would have said. Not good. It was not safe. I had full control of this knife. Let me see this. For example, for your daughter, who loves knives.

Shut the fuck out. Oh, my God. So mean. You shut the fuck. I'm cleaning up your trash. I don't stop being a mom during this podcast. Stop being a little baby. It's my nature.

And you're being a little bitch baby who needs everything done for him. Bitch baby, bitch baby. Okay. So the dimensions of this look pretty good. It looks normal. It looks normal. This looks like a normal thing to buy. This is called the Los Angeles Adventure Bucket List.

It looks like a little bigger than cards that you would play cards with. Yes. And they are scratch off cards. that if you live in Los Angeles gives you little things to, adventures you can go on, things to visit in, in Los Angeles.

So I'm going to, you poke my eye out with the knife. I'm going to open it. It's wrapped in plastic. Hermeticly sealed. Much like Laura Palmer was. Wow. Was she wrapped in plastic? I never got that far.

That's literally the first line. One, two, three. The first line at the show is, she's dead, wrapped in plastic. I think I was the only episode I've seen. Anywho. All right. I have taken off the plastic and now I'm... Oh, it's naked.

It's nude. It is nude. Oh, it's getting neuter. It has a little coin that's for you scratch off with. Oh, that's the scratch-off coin. That's nice because I don't even expecting you to have a dime around the house. Yeah. Okay, so here's a key, meaning not a key that you unlock things, but

key of symbols that say okay. Which is the key to unlocking what the symbols are true. If it has a house on it, that's an indoor activity. If it has a dollar sign, that's a price. If it has, so several, several things to help you decode this. Do you want to take a look at that? So this is, oh, this is just the first explaining the, got it. The key.

It's just a key. I thought it was one of the options of things to do. Okay, so here's. Oh, what is this whole scratchoff? It looks like an undeveloped Polaroid. All of these are scratchoffs. I'm very surprised that the scratch-off portion is that large on the back. That's a lot of scratching.

That's a lot of scratching. This is why they gave you a coin to scratch you it. Don't mess them up at a word, by the way. Venice. Okay, so it just says an area, but it doesn't say, I see how this is going to work. So it's like if you don't feel like going to Venice, don't scratch. So Universal City. You're messing up the order of them.

Oh, Jesus Christ. But what does it matter if you can skip them? I clearly asked you. I didn't hear what you were saying. It wasn't clear. Because they are numbered. But I see that they're numbered and I got them all in order. And I haven't explored this enough.

While you were here, I just unboxed it. He really wants to do it himself. I was thinking about, I was thinking about Halloween costume. I'm putting him right back where they went. So we can't even talk about it because he's scared to look at him. But here, where's Avalon? I've never heard of that. That's number one.

Oh my God. The mythical resting place of the gods? Avalon is. That's what King Arthur is. Avalon is like Hollywood and Bardot. Okay, so it says, no, that's a nightclub, sorry. This one is $3 signs. It's a daytime activity.

It's one to two hours. It's outdoor. It's active in summer. This is pretty fun. This is pretty fun. I would scratch off. I know. I would scratch off on the show, but I feel like that's part of the fun that I want to do with my family.

Can I please fucking see it? You guys are hogging it. Fuck ass idiot. You fuck ass idiot. Did you just call me a fuck-ass idiot? How dare you? My dad can call me that. You're not my dad.

You're not my boss and you're not God. You have to commit, you know. Yeah. You have to, I feel like you can't just go like, this feels like it's dumb. You have to be like, we're doing this. Yeah. Whatever this says, we're doing this.

So, you know, sometimes you're looking for stuff to do on an afternoon where you need an activity and it's like the old, relibles of going to the train, going to, you know. Oh, okay, here's a little bit more info. So on the back of the box, it shows a half scratched off area. And it has a QR code. And the name, so it gives you the name of the thing. It is a scan for more info.

And then it tells you, kind of a little bit about it. Yeah, maybe it has the ticket prices, the directions there, all that kind of stuff. Here's the thing about Avalon. Yeah. It's pricey. It's $3 signs.

Out of how many, though. Maybe it's only $3. I don't think the order matters at all. Like, I feel like, I'm not going to mix them up. I'm not going to, don't get worried. It's a daytime. activity. To me, I'm kind of going like,

your feelings are not my facts. It takes one to two hours. Yeah. It's outdoors. It is active. And you do it in the summer. What is it? So one of these things I know,

one of these things I know, I know what it is because that was in the ad was going on the, the finicular. Finicula. The Angel Falls. The Angel Falls here in Los Angeles. And that might be it.

And this one says on the back of the box. It's like something, pick strawberries at Tanaka Farms or something. Pass. Well, you're doing it because you scratched, you spent all day scratching that whole thing off. Why was I doing it? Look, we could get a separate one for us and then record ourselves doing these.

Just the indoor ones that occur right here. I want to do it. I want to scratch them. Yeah. I want to see the list. But see, what I like about those, if I could see the list, it'd probably say no. So it is the of thing where you have to go, hey friends, where we have a day. Let's go do it. I see whatever

this thing is. Whatever this thing is. I think it's fun. And this is not an ad for it. No. We didn't even tell you what it's called. This isn't Spon Kong. Maybe we should. I'm curious if they have other cities. I'm sure they do. I don't know. It feels like they're local and they did it just for local people, but I don't know. It's cool. Anyway, thanks. Thanks to them. I'm looking forward to doing one of these. Thanks them. Thanks them. Thanks them. They do have a a bunch of different states. It is Reach International Outfitters. Okay, Rio for short.

So international. It's name is Rio. They have states. They have... Because honestly, I, when you're thinking of activities to do with a child. Yes. Which I always have. You don't want to go more than three miles.

Fuck no. Here, let's see the Midwest. You got to deal with a bag of Cheerios. Now, 50 state adventures. I'm like, there's a Chicago box. Oh. There's a Illinois box. So you can either do state or city.

State feels harder. You have to do a lot of driving. Well, especially in California where it's so big. Where does international come into play? Hmm. Interesting. Because we're going to be traveling. We should get one for when we're out there in the UK and Ireland.

And have no days off. And no car. We have, we do it? We have, especially in London. Oh, okay. especially in London. We, Ireland, we do not have any days off. That's too bad.

We had days off in Ireland last time. It was so much fun. Yes. But we have a lot of days off in London. But we should get one for London. Okay, so like I'm looking at the Chicago one. And like it shows you an example. And it's e-bike the 606, which is the Bloomington Trail.

Okay, now that would not be good for a kid. because a kid can't even ride a bike yet. And then it says, they're going to do an electric one? It says, bonus, hop off the trail and grab ice cream at something. It keeps disappearing coming back at Eli's Ark before heading back to your vehicle. That's fun. That's a little tip. You know what?

Like if you force yourself to do everything it says on the thing, this is like the premise of yes man. You know, like I'm just going to force myself to do everything. exactly the way they tell me to do it. I'm yes man, but about these cards. Yeah. How long do you think you would last in a yes-man situation? Was saying yes to everything? Yes.

Until someone asked me to cheat on my wife. It's just... Then I become a no-man, no. No one's asking. Someone asked me every day. Was that a Jim Carrey? Will you? Yeah, those are Jim Carrey, yeah.

Okay. And I think Peyton directed it. And why did he decide to say yes to everything? To change his life? I think it was because he was like a dad who said no. a lot or something. He was a lawyer? Or is it liar, that's liar, liar, liar. Liar, liar. No, but I think it's, everything is basically

city slickers where it's like, I'm a, I'm a depressed guy. Yeah. And this will change my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not the worst thing to think about in the world. No, it's not. I'm just wondering what, I guess I'm just wondering where you go. What happens in the movie? How long would I last if I had a thing

like that was that, I'm just going to say yes, everything? And it's the idea of... Do you think enough people are asking you to do stuff that you say no to? Yeah, constantly saying no. like what if what if one of your friends people are always asking me to do the same thing that I say no to which is what be on their podcast

various shows yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's not like you want to go mountain climbing and I'm going no that's the thing what if you're but I don't want to do that what if your friend knew you were in a yes man situation

then asked you to do a bunch of stuff that he knew he or she knew that you didn't want to do but you were in a yes man situation where I give him my solemn oath yeah that I would say yes yeah I'm not compelled by magical forces a la lie or lie or lie

No, no, no. This is my decision. This is your decision. And so it's more about saving face. And this person is trying to... To get you to finally say no. Yes. Because they've put in a bet down on polymarket.

And they put a bit down on polymarket, which is what people do. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I give myself two weeks. You think you do a yes man for two weeks? Yeah. And not every day either. Like take Sundays off where you get a little me done.

You just a lot of notes. Sundays, nobody talked to me. Sundays you're a me man. Me, man. But do I wonder, I wonder if like no one knew you were in a yes man situation. How often they would even come up? People ask me to do things that I normally wouldn't do. Yeah.

Or someone, or like Janie suggesting like, hey, what if we did such and such? Oh, I say, no, I shut her down all the time. Lauren, are you thinking about this? Are you a yes woman? I'm thinking about it. Do you know, Janie, one of the suggestions for our honeymoon when we were going to married was her suggestion the Galapagos Islands. Oh, that sounds fun.

Well, it does now. But at the time, I was like, we're not going on a science field trip for our honeymoon. Oh, why? Do you have to do, you have to, like, become a scientist to do that? You have to. Where'd you go? Yeah, you have to walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin. I'm sure we've discussed this.

And you can only get there on the HMS Beagle. We went to Hawaii. Yes, what I thought. Which I still think was the right decision. Because you're just chilling. It was totally relaxing. Oh, relaxing. Famously slept an entire day one time.

Wow. It was great. Sounds amazing. Yeah. And getting to the Galapagos Islands is a little more difficult. And sometimes you don't want that when you're trying, especially when like after all the stress of putting together the wedding. Yes.

Well, exactly. That's what it was. And then receiving my RSVP, which says I can't go because I see wants me to do something. Yeah. And so that was relief. And then, wait,

wait, wait, hold on. But we need more of a break. And then looking at it now, having you seen footage of the Galapagos Islands, yes, I would very much like to go there. It looks fascinating.

Well, tell you what, get into a yes-band situation, and I'll ask you if you want to go to the- Galapagos Hills. Set up a CBB-Galapagos Islands. Well, I have something I'll tell you about later. What if you did a tour? What if we did a CBB tour that is all of Florida, shut them up, and the Galapagos Islands. We tried Florida this year. It didn't work out.

Look, we tried a bunch of places that, for whatever reason, did not work out either with the routing or the theater that we had a hold on. If you don't know the touring business, you have sometimes a fourth hold on a theater, then you challenge it. And someone goes, no, I actually, someone above you with a second hold says, no, I want it that night.

And then you lose the whole thing. There's so many pieces that have to fall into place in order for it to work out. And then, of course, there's people that are, you know, the people that are able to make it work best are the people that are bigger acts. Yes. Or are people that booked this a year in advance,

which we did not unfortunately do. I'll leave that part out. Oh, okay. But anyway, be a yes man. Be a yes man. And you'll never say no again. Lauren, would you like to be a yes woman? Sure.

Is Mike asking you to do things every once in a while? Like, hey, do you want to do such and such? And you're going like, honestly, no. I'm a no man. Sometimes. But I think. you know, no, I think we both we both say no, you know,

a good amount of like... A healthy amount. We're like, hey, let's go take the kids' dinner. I go, nah. How often is Mike saying things to you, things like, watch me, watch me, watch me. Yeah, it's a lot of that with like... Watch me play chess. He's like doing his skip it.

Watch it. Yeah. Look, look, look, look, look, glit. What skip it? Do you remember skip it? No. Skip it. Skip it. It's like, what?

It's a ball. It's a ball. with a counter on a plastic ball with a counter like a number that goes up on it and a plastic thing and a plastic loop that goes around your ankle and then you jump and you skip over it doop do do do I didn't know how to counter on it. It did. There's a counter on this and the greatest part of all. There's a counter on this ball.

I've never seen this commercial. Yeah. Do you now obviously that was, I think. The very best part of all. That's what it is. The very best. Not the greatest. I bet that.

toy existed before the counter. It was probably a stick and poop kind of situation. It's probably a rock and a vine. What if we stuck a counter on that toy? What did we do? I skip it.

It's a rock and a vine. One, two, three, that's a counter. Oh, can you imagine that guy saying 11? No. He'll never get there. I guess you can imagine. I wonder when the concept of 11 came around.

Wow. Probably after 10. You have lots of good things you wonder about. Look, we're trying to create content here. No, no, no. I'm also participating. Stop. Everyone's on everyone's side here.

We're all in this together. Nobody's on nobody side. When you're around. From Chess, speaking of Mike. Whenever you're around by yourself in your house, are you like, I wonder when 11 existed. That's only something you think on the podcast. No, of course they don't.

No, of course I don't. I'm a regular human being. That's. When I'm not. Are you sure? Because it is. Mike Castle. When you're not on Mike Castle?

You got to stop doing that. I can't believe how long it took me to realize that when Alan Cumming says, leave my castle forever. That it sounds like Mike Castle. Yeah. And Mike was a very first episode. Did he notice that? Leave Mike Castle forever.

Yeah, I think he just hears it immediately. There's nothing that my name sounds enough like, like a common phrase. Right. That I could be like, hey, that sounds like my name. Well, not a lot of people. are saying my castle, you know? Or when someone says like, just castle owners. Yeah.

Like ball blomkins. When people have like ball blomkin issues. Yeah. Bolf. Yeah. When their balf is filled with blomkins. Yeah. Yeah.

And you're like, huh? Someone's in my name? Me? Like, no, we're talking to this other patient. I walk into the examining. About his unfortunate balf blomkins. All right, let's take a break. Hey, we're back everybody.

That's right. Yeah, that is, I mean, look, I'm not incorrect when I say we're back. And the thing about being back is with great backness comes great responsibility. And it is our responsibility. Great backness. To play a three church today. Great backness. Great backness.

Great Caesar's ghost. What the fuck? Why is he saying that? Caesar. Great Caesar's ghost. From the play Julius Caesar, that's who you want to invoke here. Perry? You're not religious?

You're spiritual? Yeah, say great, great God, great Jesus Christ. Great Jesus Christ. They're all just a substitution for saying Jesus Christ, by the way. Great St. Augustine. Jesus fucking Christ. Can you just say Great Caesar's ghost? I would love it if you would just say Jesus fucking Christ.

Superman's boss. Jesus. fucking Christ. We need to change at least one of these lines of dialogue before this goes out on the air in the 50s. Why didn't he want to be called chief? It's, I know what we're talking about. No. Perry White.

No. He's the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet. Oh. The paper that Clark Kent, the reporter worked for, along with Lois Lane, of course. There have been many portrayers of him in cinema, Lawrence Fishpert. Excuse me. Fishper. Fishper.

Oh, good, fish burp. Lawrence Fishburp. Lauren and I both reached you. We all did. Sure, we all did. So we do have a threacher. We have a three-cher. And this is a threacher.

There's a physical threacher. Our only physical threacher. Yes. It is brought to us by Zantor the magician. Thank you, Zantor. Thank you, Zantor. This card game. it is called Conversation the Game

and the idea is we each take a card and the card has something that you're supposed to do a secret instruction a secret instruction for the conversation and then at the end Lauren finally locked in right

when we decide the conversation has petered out we then have to guess what everyone's... By the way the conversation may never peter out we don't peter this might be a four hour episode Yep. We all have to guess what each other's secret instruction was. Yeah.

And so I will deal a card to Lauren. I will deal a card to size. You should be like a professional dealer. And I will take a card to my... I love how you handed it to me where... Well, I deal drugs. You didn't see it, but we saw it. Yes.

Yeah. Okay. That's really good. Um... Hey, gather around team. We're here. Yeah? Closer. I need you closer.

Oh, okay. I need you so much closer. I'm here. I'm closer. I'm closer. I, um, okay. You guys have been doing such great work today. I got to tell you.

Oh my God. I want to tell you collectively and I want to tell you individually that the work you've been doing on this fertilizer trying to come up with a new batch of fertilizer. Yeah. Is just incredible. We wanted it to be like anti-shit. Yes. To make it more palatable for antique shit. That's what it.

Oh. Wait, what did you say? I think I misunderstood the assignment. Oh, I wanted it to be like. like antique. Yeah, I made it like antique. I wanted it. That's what I know what you've done, Lauren, because you've been doing an incredible job on this.

I thought you wanted it to be like no shit involved, like anti-shit. Paul, I love the way that you, your mind works so much differently than what no diggity. First of all, Paul, I've always said no digity about you. But I did mean antique shit, but, um, which is, Now, Lauren, you've been doing a great job on this. But honestly, Paul, I like what you've done as well. Okay, because I'm not anti-antique necessarily. No.

And I've, look, I've always said that about you because I love that about you. No, digity. No, look, Paul, again, I'm going to stress, no digotty. Well, this is great. It is great. And thank you. Yeah. Yeah.

I, um, anyway, I just wanted to tell you guys that and to say keep on keeping on. and, you know, you guys have really made me proud. Well, I am thrilled to hear this. Me too. That I'm not the Antichrist over here. I'm so happy. Wow. So, okay, so are you going to use all the stuff that I've been working on?

No, I'm not going to use any of it, but I love that you've done it all. Are you anti those ideas? You're not working on them. Wow. I'm not going to use them. I'm not going to use them. No, I'm not going to use it. No, I'm not.

I've been working on them, but you're not going to use them. What I love about them, though, is it shows your ability to think outside the bun when it comes to an assignment. And that's, even though I'm not going to use any of these things. I think I know what your thing is. Am I allowed to say it? Yeah. Are we anti-saying them now? All right.

We've petered out. Paul, your thing is saying anti or no diggity. No, Diggity was my own flourish. Okay. But yes, I'd say anti every turn. I think your thing was. saying like catchphrases like keep on keeping on like that kind of like a common phrase. Incorrect.

Oh. I think you were saying I've always a lot. That's just me. Like I think I said the bun. I thought they were all like catch phrases. No. My thing is. You're being positive?

Complimenting. Complementing. Yours was were you questioning things? Everything has a question mark at the end of it. Everything has a surprise tone. Surprised tone, which is questions or surprising? Yeah. Yeah.

Great stuff. Let's do it again. All right, Zantor. All right, Zantor. We think we know what you're doing. We see what you're up to, Zantor. Who is Zantor, by the way? Mix them up.

Go to the middle. Let's see what's happening in there. I don't know. You think he's dealing from the bottom of the deck? Oh. I did take one from the bottom for me for fun. Okay. Okay.

All right. I think that I look, everyone here in this stadium? I am. so, so, so sorry, but I cannot hear you. Can you? I know it's my fault because I just was, I went to a World War II reenactment where they had live ammunition and I ruined my ears. What? Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm sorry that I had to even say it. Thank you all for being here. Sorry, do you ever like, are you ever aware of how your voice is modulated? What?

I'm sorry I and I don't I don't mean to get in the middle of this Between the two of you but I thought that was Are your parents divorced? Unfortunately I could just tell They they divorced when I was a kid

I think it was honestly I thought it was my fault And I wish you two It would stop with this personal conversation Because it's really making me angry When was last time you went to the doctor? I went to the doctor for my hemorrhoids. I'm sorry, I don't mean to get in the middle of this.

I really, really don't. But why are you asking these rude, rude questions? So many rude questions at a funeral. Why are you either shouting or whispering? And I hate to bring this up because it's none of my business. Have you ever shit your pants in public? Look, I apologize if you were near me that one time that I did it. Just tell me the worst thing that you've ever done in front of somebody else.

I mean, I showed them my body. I don't know. Yuck. There's a fire. They asked me to. It just was a terrifying. There's a fire. I apologize.

I cannot. The building's on. I cannot hear anything you're saying. And I know it's my fault because I went to this incredible. Everything's fine. It's going to be fine. There's a fire. What do we have to worry about?

Did he? I'm so sorry. Can you hear him? Did he say fire? There's a fire. Do women tend to respond well to you? Not this one. What was your last shit?

All right. What was your last? So your thing is either whispering or shouting? Well, it was speak at an inappropriate volume. Okay. And then your thing is asking the most rude questions. Ask intrusive questions. Intrusive.

What's my thing? Your thing. What was your thing? You're a friend. You're afraid of everyone? I actually don't know. Be overly apologetic. I thought it was being too obvious.

It feels that way. A lot of these things are obvious and that's the fun of the... And that's the fun. One more? One more. Paul's dealing. Can you... Thank you.

I said putting it behind a giant thing in front of... Fuck you. Fuck you. Okay. It's a beautiful morning. I agree with you. I think it is a beautiful morning. And when I think about mornings like this, I remember having the same thought. So, yeah, I agree. It's very, I don't know, it's very nice. It is. So what are we doing, guys? Well, right now. Let's dance. as David Bowie once said I was going to say we're having conversation

obviously because sure but why did you ask us to come here well there's more we've we've had this and we've had conversations in the past and they've been similar to this where we're each talking in turn and learning things and this is I think an example

of that as well I just have to confit I'm bad I have to confess. You're bad. I'm bad. I'm bad. Like you just, you know. You're bad.

I'm bad. I'm like, I'm just everything. What do you? I think you're good. I think you're good. You give to charity. You give elderly people rides. That's true.

Yeah. To the bus stop. I don't talk all the way, but yeah. Right. But ultimately, halfway there. I think this concludes that you are a good person. Um, look, I don't, I don't necessarily have time for any of this stuff, but, uh, Paul, why did you bring us here?

Okay. Um, you know what I want to say it. I'm going to move out. It was, I'm moving out. It was good living with you. I'm moving out. We, Lauren, we cannot afford to lose another roommate because. Well, I, you know what? You're losing two roommates because I'm also moving out. Okay. We didn't talk about this before, but look, I'm just tired of coming back for these meetings that you call and you have no agenda. I'm so tired. I've been trying to get my agenda out. I'm so tired. You interrupted me.

You interrupted me. And it's happened before. Yeah, but you go on and on and on in a sentence and you don't ever say what your actual point. I don't say. It goes on and on and on and on. I refute that. I refute that 100% because if you'll notice in these.

conversations, I start to talk, I get out a couple sentences, you guys interrupt me. My anxiety. It just happened again. My anxiety. Oh, when she said her anxiety, oh, I'm so sorry. It sounds like you're winding down your sentence without any idea of what you're going to say. It's this long and winding road. It's this long and winding road where we just never know where it's going to go.

This is two against one because first. It takes two. You'll say something. It takes two to make a single right. Against me. Yeah. What does that tell you about yourself? I have terrible taste in roommates because other roommates have left.

More and more have left. You are now saying you're leaving. You didn't pick us. We picked you. This is our house. Okay. And we're going to take. And we're moving out of it.

No diggity? We're going to take. No diggity. You're going to take the bare necessities and you're going to get out. Blue style. We're keeping a lot of your stuff. This is robbery because if you keep something, or take something that's not yours.

What are you a definition guy? It's a sunshine day. Why don't you just get out there and boogie, wogie, boogie, down the street? I'll tell you what. Enjoy it.

Tell us, please. I'm leaving because you guys are kicking me out. Well, we do own the house, but we were willing to move out just because we don't want to be around you. You're always sucking on chili dogs. Outside, Tasty Fries.

but also inside our house. Mm-hmm. You're like a cheeseburger. In paradise. Away from exploding in front of us. Yeah. And scene. Okay.

An unpleasant scene starring unpleasant people. Yours is song lyrics. Yes. Yours is not making eye contact? Yes. And that's, by the way, that does not translate in an audio medium. No, it does. That's the problem.

But you did feel avoidant. Yes. Yours is you say the obvious. You restate what's happening. Get a load of what mine is. Okay. Have a thesis statement, supporting examples, and conclusion. Wow.

Wow. Which was hard to do. That is hard. Especially with us interrupting. Yes. Which I thought the interruption was part of the thing. But it turns out it wasn't. No, I felt my performance.

No, it wasn't at all. That was natural. It was just every time I thought of music. Every time I thought of a lyric, I wanted to say it. It is interesting how the, the physic, when I got a, a physical one. Yeah. And how that just led me to the performance.

Because it felt it felt like it wasn't, I wasn't being real if I was going to be engaged. Like there had to be a reason why I was not making eye contact with you all. And so it just led me to be like. You'd be real. It'd be real, real, real. Yeah. And so it led me to be quite unpleasant with you both, which I didn't like.

But it would be interesting. It's a character. It would be interesting to do, to take these before like an acting scene. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, and just say only song lyrics. Not the script. Maybe we'll try that next time.

That would be fun. Although you just pointed out, Lauren, that it would not work. Yeah, but I mean, it would be interesting to take the physical ones or the say everything like a question once or something and apply that to an acting scene. We should do actors nightmare again. Yeah, I remember one scene that I did where I had like a tiny part as a cop in something. and the director said, hey, what if you were, instead of acting like an asshole,

what if you were scared of what's going on? And it just, like, made the scene very interesting with, like, a cop who was very frightened of what was happening. So it's like, you know, usually you don't, when you have a tiny part, you don't want to make any strong choice because you just, like, oh, it's not about me.

I just want to, like, get through and not be noticed or whatever. But sometimes making the strong choice makes it interesting. When I was on the few episodes of the Sarah Silverman program that I did, I made a choice that I did not like Laura Silverman's character. And so anytime she would approach, I would reach for my gun. I would just put my hand in front of my gun.

And one person noticed it. I think it was the only person. Oh, that's really funny. Well, guys, hey. That's been freedom for this week. That's been freedom. We want to tell you, Paul and I, we start. started the Comedy Bang Bang Tour.

And we intend to finish it. And we intend to finish it. And if everything has gone well, Lauren, you've been joining us the past couple of days. And you'll... I don't think it's telling any secrets that you'll be there tonight with us as well. Oh, my God. That is kind of telling a secret. I think it is.

It's sort of telling a secret. But I think people... Some people have figured... We're in Chicago tonight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't wait.

Anyway, that's really good. Gonna be fun. Get all the dates. over at CBBworld.com slash tour. Yeah, you got to. You have to at this point. And keep your eyes peeled for what Mary Holland and I are up to. It's exciting stuff and we'll be near you soon.
