Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! I rolled my R's on that one.

Freedom! Wow, much like the lion from Zubili Zoo. I rolled my Rs on that one. Freedom. Beautiful. Freedom. Wow, much like the lion from Zubili Zoo. What is Zubili Zoo? Zubili Zoo was a PBS program. Parental body inspector. Yes. That's-

This is for the- Body inspector. Body inspector, yes. It's parental body specter. Apostrophe Spectre. It's a show where these grown actors. These grown ass actors. Played animals who all had different personalities

and they interacted in a sort of white. Unlike real animals. They were pretty much the same. Eliminal space. Birds, worms, same personality. A white stage with like little pieces that would come out. Like the Mac PC commercials? It was basically like that. But then they'd have like little set,

like little pieces of the set that they would use from time to time. Like a chair. Sure. But yeah, it was very, very... Half a table. Bare bones. But the makeup was well done. They were skeletons. They were animals. Animal skeletons. were skeletons. They were animals. Animal skeletons.

In underneath the like makeup, the costume, the human skin, there was a skeleton. They were bare bones. Yeah. Honestly, most people just described them as walking bones. Did you meet that piece of walking bones the other day? That piece of walking bones. That hot piece of walking bones. Is that a hot piece of walking bones? Damn, those bones walked well. Hey, welcome to Freedom. Skeletons are funny.

My name is Paul. Skeletons are silly. My name is Lauren. Skeletons are scary. My name is Scott. See, three personalities. Yeah. All very different.

That's how we interpreted skeletons. Yeah. And that's just a little taste of what you'll get on episodes of Freedom. If you ever listen to one, goodbye. Skeletons, if you ever saw literally what they show at Halloween, but literally a human skeleton walking around, you don't see that in horror movies ever. But it's so famous in Halloween.

Skeletons are everywhere. Everywhere. What if our skeletons actually had like little, uh, you know, like rivets where the arms and legs, what are they called? You know, on a cardboard skeleton decoration. Oh yeah. Like that has the little brads. Yeah. But they're not really brads. They're just like gold circles. They're like the absence of brads. Yeah. Yeah. The idea of a brad. Yeah. But if you saw literally the bones that would be in a human being, you're not dressing it up or making it scary or whatever. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Just walking around your house. It would be scary. It would be scary. You don't need to dress up a skeleton. We don't dress up skeletons really. We don't need to put them in top hats. No. We don't need bow ties.

It's fun to do it. The first amendment protects that. What about the keel skeleton? Yes. You know you've made it when you've been asked to sign the keel skeleton. We don't. We don't talk enough about the keel skeleton. No, we don't.

And we need to. Well, because honestly, when you think about it, is that their mascot? They do all skin related stuff. Something that is the absence of skin itself. Right. It's like, if you use our stuff long enough Something that is the absence of skin itself. Right. It's like if you use our stuff long enough, this is what you'll end up at. If you scrub away your skin too much. There's no model that they use, I don't think.

Who has the best skin in the world? I mean, you can't quantify that. Who has the best skeleton in the world? Me. You think so? I know I have a good skeleton. Strip away everything. Yeah.

And your skeleton is really, really attractive. Do you think if we all were skeletons, like in a hundred years when we're dead, and we're skeletons, and they pulled up all three of our skeletons, anyone could be able to go, that's Lauren, that's Scott, and that's Paul. Probably from how tall we are. Probably from height.

We gave out our heights on it. We did give them out. And I mean, I'm- We never should have done that. I'm also not male. And I think that that should look different. Because you wouldn't have a penis bone. Yeah.

Cute direction bone. Yeah, I wouldn't have a big penis bone. Sticking six feet out of the ground. That's how that's why they need caskets, because otherwise, exactly, they'll be breaking through the ground. That's why we need caskets. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

It took them a long time to figure that out. Right. What if you saw in your house, and let's say it's somebody you knew, and they called you and said, hey, I'm gonna come over. There is something different about me and I don't want you to be freaked out when you see it.

Okay. But they don't say what it is? They don't say what it is. Well, God, I would be driving as fast as I could. You're driving to them? You wanna come over to my house and show, you want me to come over? No, they're coming over to your house.

Oh, they want to come over to my house? Yeah. I thought you were driving away from your own home. No, I thought they wanted me to come over and see. No, no, no. I'm coming over. Okay. Something is different about me

and I don't want you to be freaked out by it. Well then I'd be like, where, just get, you shouldn't have, you should have just be, you should be outside. I can't wait any longer. What is it? I am outside actually. I'm calling from the car.

Good, thank God. Yes, all right, I'm coming in. What is it? I am outside actually. I'm calling from the car. Good, thank God. Yes, all right. I'm coming in. What is it? And then they come in and their head is just a skull now. Like the rest of their body is intact. Yeah, it's fine. But it's just a skull. They can talk. Where does the skin start?

Do they have hair? No, no hair. Does skin start under the jawline or under the neckline? Under the neckline. So if you're, if they're wearing a polo shirt, would you see any skin? I would say they would probably try to make it so that you couldn't see the skin.

If you were Michael Caine and ripping open like a tennis jacket. I'm just like pulling it down. Pulling it down to show Chester. You'd see some of that skin. Yeah, you'd probably see some of the skin. I can't tell you exactly where the skin joins. It probably doesn't look great.

I'll be honest. Is it, does it meld in like gradually, like an ombre? Hey man, I don't know. I think what my first- I feel like you should know this stuff. And your friend is trying to shield you from that and they're wearing a turtleneck. I think my first reaction-

So the little bony neck is sticking up on the skull on top. My first reaction is I'm not opening the door to that. I might be looking through the window going, what's going on, what happened? You might be saying like, hey, take off your mask and show me the real thing. But you can tell it's not a mask

because it's smaller than their head. But you know what they do a lot of now is these fake phone calls where they're using real people's voices. Spoofs. I don't know if they're called spoofs. I think they're called... I call it that. I think if you had like an unusual like sudden birthmark syndrome and you said, hey, like

there's something weird about my face. Or like remember when Carrie Underwood just kind of said that to all of her fans? Yeah, but then nothing was different, right? I mean, she's still hot as shit. But um... Sudden birthmark? She had some sort of accident, but she looked fine. SBS? But if you had-

I'm sure it felt different to her. If there was something- Remember when Kate Middleton was like, I just face tuned my face, but then it turns out she was actually a werewolf? Yeah. But if you had something like that, showing up with a skeleton mask first is a good idea, to be like- And then you pull it off and there's a skeleton? It's just a birthmark. But I mean, they're saying, let's say it's Mary Holland.

That's who I'm imagining, actually. Who will never be on the show. I was imagining her coming up to my house. Yes. It's just a birthmark. But I mean, they're saying, let's say it's Mary Holland. That's who I'm imagining, actually. Who will never be on the show. I was imagining her coming up to my house. Yes. And then I'm thinking, okay, so I know it's her because I know what she looks like normally. And then I'm seeing that the top part,

the head is just a skull. Yeah. I think she'd be crying. I don't think she'd be like- Would tears come out if it was just a skull? Well, I think she'd be distraught. No, of course she'd be on top of the school. Aren't they on top of the school? On top of the, they're not underneath the skull. Are they? Or are they?

I don't know. Where are the tear ducts? The tear ducts, I guess are part of the circulatory system, which are over the school laid over the school. Yeah. So she wouldn't be crying. Intervoiced. She would be wishing she could, you know what? Let's say she can cry and that there's tears coming out of the eye holes. I still cry. This is what it sounds like when the skulls cry. I think it's still keep her outside. I really your friend, Mary, you keep her outside.

I'd go have this conversation just like sitting out front, kind of, like I don't know that I'm gonna. What? I don't know that I'm gonna bring her inside because I don't know what's going on. Then there's all the, she's telling you. What did she say? Well, you have to let her in.

Why? Because she's your friend and she needs you. But it's like what if she says zombie or something and she's gonna bite me. She said that on the phone. And she said, I'm not a zombie. By the way, I'm not a zombie. And she doesn't look like a zombie.

She looks like herself. So she said, she told me on the phone, something's different about me. Yeah, I'm not a zombie, I'm not a zombie. By the way, I'm not a zombie. And she doesn't look like a zombie. She looks like herself. She told me on the phone, something's different about me. Yeah, I'm not a zombie. I'm not a zombie. Yes. So then that's a weird, that's a weird one thing to call out.

I don't want to say it over the phone. I'm very embarrassed. So can I please come to your house and get inside as quickly as possible? I'll bring outside a hat and like a- Oh my God, Lauren. Maybe like a parasol. Like a mask.

I'm really getting to learn a lot about you. Look, and I'm not letting her come in because... What if it's catching? What if it is? You're making it worse. It's not catching. And how do I know that? She just says she's not a doctor. No, a doctor has told her. Here's what I don't want.

What doctor? You think she hasn't gone to a doctor? Dr. Phil? I don't want to be in my own home and then later when she's not there thinking a skeleton was sitting right there. She's not a skeleton. But what's her? Her head is a skull. She's not a skeleton.

That's it. That's the only difference. She's still your friend. She's still your friend. You're good, good friends. Her brain is good. What? Her brain is good.

Her brain is great. It's right there inside. It's even better. You can see part of it. Because now she has this experience. Her brain is better because she had this experience? If you squint through her aisles, you can see her brain a little bit. Is that how you think about life and experiences? Your brain gets better when you have a bad experience?

It doesn't get worse. Of course. The thing about zombie movies is everyone's like, oh, how do we kill them? Wouldn't you be trying to cure them? Like if it was your loved one, you'd be like, hey, what if they come over the cure tomorrow? I feel like that's every 100th zombie movie. So it's just to cure. It should be a zombie movie where it's your wife

and you're like, I'm really trying to make this work. It's very rare. My zombie wife. Very nice, zombie. Love zombie wife. Zombie wife, zombie. Love, zombie wife. Zombie wife, nice. My my zombie wife. Zombie for jeez.

My zombie wife. Take my zombie wife, please. Do you think? But cure her. Do you? Please cure her. Please cure my zombie wife. Please. Do you think I sound like a musical zombie?

I think, what do you think that when that joke, take my wife, please. Please, yeah. Was first said. I think it's still funny, but anyway, go ahead. Because it's, the idea is you would think he's saying, take my wife, for example. Yeah, he's saying like, oh, there are all sorts of people out there in the world. Take my wife, please.

He hates his wife. People laughing at vaudeville. That's wild. How many people really hate their wives? Let's do full. 50%. Well, 50% get divorced. Yeah, but.

How many divorces are amicable of that 50% 3% maybe. I don't. Yeah. I don't think you might grow to amicable down the line, but I think 3% are like, you know what? This is probably the best thing for both of us. And there are no bad guys in this situation. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard of one of those. There ain't no good. What's that song? There ain't no bad guys in this situation. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard of one of those. There ain't no good guys. What's that song? I don't know. There ain't no good guys. Yeah, there's a song.

There ain't no bad guys. There's only you and me and we just disagree. Yeah. Ooh. Anyone you're getting a divorce with, you should play that. Yeah. There ain't no good guys. That song is all middle.

Yeah, middle range. It just sort of stays in the same place, slight variations up and down. It's like an EKG. It's a good karaoke song then. Yeah, absolutely. By Dave Mason, by the way. Thank you, Dave.

If we want to hear a little bit of it. Sure. First off, this is an ad for. This sounds different. This sounds different. Something at Las Vegas, twice 2024. I don't know what. This sounds different. This sounds different. Something at Las Vegas? Twice 2024? I don't know what this is. Okay.

This song rocks my socks off. This song rocks. What year did this come out? Oh my God, I'm banging my head. 1977. Okay. Released on, I don't know. Even this part! It's like... It never changes, it never gets better. Okay, let's hear some comments on this.

This is one of those songs that just touches the soul. It makes you think about life slash love and relationships. Well, because it's about that? You could never understand why this great song by Dave Mason didn't get more airtime on the radio. I fucking heard it. Yeah. I've heard it a about that. You could never understand why this great song by Dave Mason didn't get more airtime on the radio. I've fucking heard it. Yeah.

I've heard it a million times. A truly hidden gem among rock pop songs. I think I've only ever heard this song on the radio. I've never... Wait, keep it going. Here's another comment. I've been listening to this song for over 45 years. Weird.

Continuously. Please come get me. I'm trapped in a place where they keep playing this song. Here's another one. This is the very first time I heard this song. I think it may have healed my broken heart when the love of my life took a different path all those years ago Death now when you just heard it the first time it healed it was all those years ago and and just today

What's the date on that? Wow 16 replies to that comment Hey, I never went anywhere great song to recover yourself in right on brother this song has that effect It is a special sing-song 100 emoji I feel your pain a clean sweep of like Internet comments going past ten years ago like let let's just like erase. Let's sweep them all down, yeah. Twitter, anything, anything.

Too much history is being built on the internet. I think we need to like clean it up. I disagree. Why? Because I think that it teaches people, you gonna put this online? It's gonna be up there forever. Yeah.

So think carefully. That does not work. People write whatever the fuck they want. That's right. They're dumb. Hey, breaking news. I have a press release just sent to me. HBO renews real time with Bill Maher through 2026. Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Could they could they renew your contracts in this many years later?

Can you fucking imagine I am my segment by singing that entire song to Bill every week. Every week. And he loves it and he keeps you on the show. I got into an argument with someone that I know about like people being too sensitive these days or whatever. And so we're going back and forth and then he finally sent me a clip. It's like, well, what do you think about this? And it was a clip of Bill Maher,

and I'm like, I automatically disagree. I don't have to watch it. There are no good points that are made. I can guarantee. There are no good points. There's only bad points. Thank you for the breaking news. You were on it.

The first season, yeah. Like regularly. Every week. He did. 10 episodes. And I thought very funny. Thank you, very breaking news. You were on it. The first season, yeah. Like regularly. Every week. 10 episodes. And I thought very funny. Oh, thank you, very kind to say that. He would write a new thing about something that was going on in the news.

I would write a new thing about something that was going on in the news. Wow, Scott pitched it perfectly if that's what it was. Every week, and what were some of the subject matters? Do you remember? The only one I remember, the only one is there was a, you know, one of those times where there was a Confederate

flag issue where they're like, should they? You were pro. I was pro and I made a pretty good case. Yeah. But I remember, the only thing I remember is that at the end of the segment, Bill felt it necessary to point out that the civil war was not just fought over slavery, but it was other states rights.

Great. Yeah. rights. Great. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah, it was interesting, cause that was like around the first year that I was doing the live show down at MBAR. 2003.

Yeah, 2002 is when we started and he would come, because he would have comedians on doing their bits, he would come to the show that I was producing and recruit a lot of the acts. Like I remember Jerry Minor had a really funny bit. Jerry Minor had a funny bit on there. Yeah, anyway, those were the days.

Good taste. Those were the days. Well, he had nothing. That's crazy that you did it 22 years ago or 21 years ago. That's when I met Janie. Yeah. As a result of that show, I would not have met Janie had it not been for that show.

Wait, why? Because another- It's no more met Janie. Yeah. As a result of that show, I would not have met Janie had it not been for that show. Wait, why? Because another- This is my Mar used to date her. She brought her around. She left him for you. This is crazy. Hey! This is crazy.

I met a guy who worked on that show who similarly felt out of place. And he invited me to a gathering of friends at a place called Cafe Des Artis. And I. Is it still there? No, it's not there anymore. You know, Cool Up and I still go to the place where we have our first date quite often. Was it Cafe Des Artis? Pasta Maniacs?

This used to work there in Minnesota. What's it called? What was it called? Hulk Hogan's Pasta Maniacs. Hulk Hogan's Pasta Maniacs. She worked there when she was 15. Are you flung to my pasta mania? Come down here brother. Honestly yeah.

My clinic will heal you. Our first day was sushi and tap and it has changed into now Sushi Dan, rock and roll sushi and we eat there quite often. In Studio City? Rock and roll sushi. Yeah. we eat there quite often. In Studio City? Yeah. Yeah, I used to go there. Yeah.

No tap dancers anymore. Yeah. Oh, I forgot that that's what the tap part was. Yeah. When would that happen? Oh, you think it was beer? Yeah, of course. It would happen every,

I think they would probably do it every 45 minutes to make sure that every customer got to see one performance. And it would be the same performance every time? I don't know. Yeah, probably. So if you lingered, you probably would see the same thing over. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe, maybe you'd see twice. And there was like a stage. No, I think they would do it like in, in between the tables as I recall.

Table side tap? I think it was table side service. I don't want to see that. What did they do? Table side tap. Tap dancing? Yes. That's crazy. It's where you tap your feet. It makes noise. I've heard of that. Tap dancing? Yes. That's crazy. It's where you tap your feet. It makes noise. I've heard of that.

You wear special shoes. I still have my tap shoes. I saw that on the Cosby show. Weird. I know. I haven't tap danced in anything. Was it Gregory Hines? Savion Glover.

Savion Glover. I think I might have tapped. You got a challenge. I might have tapped in some comedy shows, but really I haven't tap danced for good for now 33 years and yet I still have my tap shoes. Am I a hoarder? Well, famously, actually same amount of time for me and I was doing the Bartman in my tap class.

Oh, I remember this. The Bartman. We did a tap dance performance to do the Bartman and was there a dance that went with the Bartman on the show. I don't know but can we hear it? Yeah, I mean obviously sticking his butt in the camera, right? Yeah, that's the main thing because he's rude. Yeah, he's a rude dude. He's in suciate attitude. Okay, so First we'll see an ad for Okay, so YouTube there's... This is the video.

I had the tape, Simpson's Sing the Blues, which is such a great tape. Sure. I love tapes. I had a couple great tapes that my godfather got me from the Marlboro like system of sending in packages. Oh, like Marlboro Miles. Yeah. Yes. Marlboro Christmas tape that I loved as a kid.

I had a watch that I got with Marlboro Miles and I kept it for a really long time. It was a good one. The Marlboro logo. There's so much cartoon before the song starts. We have to take a break. So we'll be right back. So much cartoon before the song starts we have to take a break. So we'll be right back. So much cartoon.

You know, I get the scientists down at R&D, I'm like bring me all the data and they come and they bring it all to me.

It shows this data that I asked for. It shows that e-bike riders take their bike out more often, meaning more exercise, more exploration, more fresh air. Electric e-bikes, Paul F. Tompkins got one of these electric e-bikes. He's out there tootling around like a king every day of his life, waving at his neighbors, hiking, when I say hiking I mean like taking his bike. So what do you call bike hiking? Be-hiking? When he's out there on the hiking trails on his bike?

Be-hiking? I've just coined it, be-hiking. He loves it. Owning it has such a motivational impact on him is a direct quote from him, so you can attribute that.

What the fuck is he doing?

It's like a school recital and he's trying to... Making like little karate noises or something. He's trying to jump up behind everyone because his parents can't see him. Oh now he's plugged in his own Walkman. To the sound system? Okay, Lauren can you still do the dance, especially while pregnant? Yeah, I can do the full tap dance. Tap, tap, tap, tap.

Oh, my God, look at her go. Yeah, I'm on the table. Wings. I'm sorry, this must have been so cute when I was doing this. I've been um. Like that's the funniest thing ever. It's amazing to say that about yourself. Well because I can really picture myself watching Holly do that now and I'm like this is the

best thing I've ever seen. I've been going through the billboard R&B charts from the 80s. Was that on there? No, but I'm reminded when I see this of just like, there was a certain time around Ashford and Simpson. It was a weird time. There was some time around 1982 where like every comedian just put out their own rap songs. Absolutely. And some of them would chart because there's like, Mel Brooks charted with his good to be the king rap

or whatever, and then Rich Little charted with the president's rap. No, oh my God. Yeah. The president's rap? A little bit of the president's rap, okay. Would it help me memorize the order? Probably not.

I have a, I think I could get to the first four presidents. That's not many. Then there's a large gap. Washington Adams. And then I can get it from, I think. Wink it on? Wilson on. Wilson.

The volleyball? Here. Yeah. Oh, wow. Do you remember when the volleyball was president? No ad on Rich Little. He got so much done. This ad on Rich Little. He got so much done. This is 1982, nine minutes long.

What? Cause it was meant to be played in clubs and shit. And it also, yeah, it uses the Tom Tom Club. Can you imagine, you're coked out of your mind. You go to a club. You're Rich Little. You wanna dance. This comes on.

This comes on. This comes on. Here are some credits. Ronald Reagan, Rich Little. Nancy Reagan, Melanie Chardoff. She played Melanie Chardoff? Yeah, Nancy Reagan played. She's an actress, remember.

This also was the year that everyone was ripping off the Tom Tom Club song and using it for their own songs, which... When do they start rapping? I don't know. They? When do all the presidents start rapping? Yes, dear. Now be honest.

At my age, do you think I should be doing something like this? Believe me, mommy. Talking about sex. Every once in a while, it's healthy to do this sort of thing. Oh, that's exactly what Nancy Reagan sounded like. Yes, right. Hello, I'm Nancy Reagan. Just say do.

Oh no, where'd the laughter come from? That's right, I forgot this has a laugh track. I like it. Oh, Ronnie, you look good, dear. I like the way you look. And the water wings. This has a laugh track. I like it. I like it. Oh Ronnie, you look good, dear. I like the way you look. And the water wings?

Oh no! It's so... Holy shit! When do they rap? I know, skip ahead. What if it's 8 minutes of this and then 1 minute of rap? I think it might just be jokes and no rapping.

Well, that sucks. Fuck that shit. If you buy a record that's President's rap, you want to hear him rap. Of course you do. You don't want to hear club jokes with a laugh track set to a beat. I don't want to hear Nancy Reagan in there. Dancing to this in a club. And be like, yeah! And like requesting it from a DJ.

When I was coming up in comedy at the Comedy Works in Philadelphia, which was my home club, there would be a song that was played after the shows. Of course, I've told you about the territory, the Curly Shuffle. Yeah. That was a different, that was a different club.

By the way, a 45 that I bought as a kid. Yeah, sure, of course. Yeah. With your own money? With my own money. What did you do to earn it? Probably all that weeding with all the roly poly bugs. When you were at like at the store

and you were picking it up, was there a dying soldier saying, earn this? Yeah. So. Yeah, it's crazy to think that like my grandfather and fought in World War Two and my dad fought in Vietnam so I could save up money to buy the curly shuffle record. Best country in the world. What a disappointment I am. We didn't have any good wars.

You could go now. Yeah, I'll go fight someone right now. I'll fight one person. Just go outside. To the death. What do you think would happen if you went down to like an army recruitment center at your age? At my age.

And say, I want to go, here's the thing. I'm a pretty accomplished guy. I want to go straight to general. And I want to do like, I'm not going to like go to, you know, boot camp and all that kind of stuff. I want to go straight to one star general going to like go to, you know, bootcamp and all that kind of stuff. I want to go straight to one star general. So you're going to skip the process. But I wonder if it's like college where like, you know, occasionally I'd be recruited of

like, oh, I know you haven't graduated, uh, you know, junior college yet, but we'll take you into the graduate program at Temple or whatever, you know, right away. But you know what I mean? Like, like, oh, you seem like a cool guy. You got a good head on your shoulders. You're smart. Yeah. Well, you don't have to do private sergeant all that kind of stuff. We'll just go right to general right from enlistment.

Did you say temple in there? Yeah, no, Temple University. Yeah, why did you say Temple University? Because they, I think they offered me to go to like acting class school. Oh really? Yeah. What if we had met in Philadelphia while you were in the army?

Would that be crazy? While I was in the army. Yeah. But you would have been a couple years behind me, so we wouldn't have met in school because I did not last. Oh yes. Yes. We would not have been college jobs.

Well, it just wouldn't have happened. But wait, here's what happened. You needed Bill Maher to introduce you. Here's what happened. After the show at the Comedy Works, they would play this song called Fat Is In. And this was baseball player Terry Forster, who was making hay out of David Letterman,

calling him a fat tub of goo. And so he recorded this record where I think he just introduced it. And then the owner of the Comedy Works did the song. He would perform it? No, it was a record. They would just play it. Oh, OK.

So this is somebody who held a tape recorder up to their stereo. This is not an official. My neighbor keeps playing this song. Listen. I don't feel like Terry Forrest or uploaded this. Chocolate Cone. Instead of Choc-a-Cone. Instead of Choc-a-Cone. I don't feel like Terry Forster uploaded this. Chocolate cone. Chocolate cone. Instead of chocolate cone. When fat is fine.

Where being overweight is a real good sign. Eat what you want. And so the owner of the ComedyWorks, this is him? Yes. It's pretty good. It's him. Stop your basing. Don't be thin.

I can't, this is, okay. And so they would play this at the end of every show? They played it at the end of the show, yeah. After the show was over. And that was the quality of the recording. That was what? The quality of the recording. But how confusing to the audience.

Yes, it was recorded into a wastepaper basket. How confusing to the audience who doesn't know the connection of the owner of the ComedyWorks did this. Where suddenly they see a great comedy show and they're getting up to leave and suddenly, fat is in. And they're like, they're absolutely not paying attention. Oh, okay. I don't think anyone ever registered that this song was playing except the comics.

Can we talk about waste paper baskets? Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Garbage basket, trash can, waste basket. You've never heard garbage basket before? Is that another thing? Garbage pail I've heard. Garbage pail, garbage can. I've only heard garbage Pail? I've heard garbage, pale garbage,

garbage, yeah, I've only heard garbage pale in reference to the kids. Waste paper basket is so specific. It's only for waste paper. Yeah. Trash receptacle bin dumpster. There's too many names. Dumpster I think was the first one to do the thing where they took the, um the the vowel away. Oh Dumpster do you MP STR? What's that? What's a dumpster? No, I know what a dumpster is, but I don't know

That's how it's spelled Yes, it's a brand name dumpster is a brand But a dumpster we were saying what's dumpster and you're going it's dumpster Well, you also were like you don't know what a dumpster is when we're asking what dumpster is. And then we're like, yes, we do. But then you're going like, do you have PSTR? And I'm like, but what's that? But my confusion's not crazy.

No, it is. When you were just saying what's. No, because we're going, but what's dumpster with no E? A dumpster is with an E. What is, it's not. Lowercase D. Lowercase D with an E-R. But that is now like a Kleenex thing,

because the first probably. What is dumpster? But I also cannot find anything with. It's the brand name of dumpsters. Ha ha ha ha ha. Did that clear it up for you? No. Dumpsters like outside bins?

Yes, whoever invented that called it the dumpster. I've never heard of that. But invented that called it the dumpster. I've never heard of that, but it, but now you have, there is no information regarding this on the internet anywhere. Oh my God. Dumpster brand. So I'm a little, so do you think I dreamed this? Maybe this isn't, this isn't real. Cause we were talking about Grindr a couple episodes back. No, but dumpster with a section of dumpster with an E like the's where you have sex in a dumpster. With an E, like the normal way of spelling it.

In the dumpster. Is Kleenex. It is like that. The term is a genericized trademark of dumpster, an American brand name for a type of mobile garbage bin. Okay? But it had an E. It did, it was spelled the same way.

Oh, I apologize. Apologize to dumpsters everywhere. But they did it with a capital D. Sure. Yeah, ping pong with a hyphen is a trademark. Ping pong with a hyphen is a trademark. Ping pong with no hyphen is a non-trademark term for table tennis. Fuck off.

So this is all, these are all names that might surprise you. Let me see about this. That's bad trademarking. When you don't cover the hyphen part of it, and you let anyone else just use it without a hyphen. The person at the trademark place is like, do you want this hyphen? You should. No. You don't want to cover it without the hyphen. The person at the trademark place is like, do you want this hyphen? You should.

No, you don't want to cover it without the hyphen. It's only one more dollar. I was about to read you some more. I saw Frasbee as one of them, but then now I have to subscribe to the Orlando Sentinel. Sign up for it. Fuck no, Orlando Sentinel, you out of your mind. What are they called again where it's the,

there's a term for it, like Kleenex. Don't stir. Here, brands that are like Kleenex that are so common they become words. Is there a genericized? That's the term that's hard to say. Escalator. That one is going to surprise you. Escalator.

With no A. The term escalator was coined by Charles Seberger who partnered with Otis Elevator Co. to create the first commercial. Can you imagine being one of those two fucking weirdos? Seberger what? Band-Aid of course. Chap burger. What bandaid? Of course. Chapstick Q-tips, jacuzzi, jello, popsicle, jacuzzi, popsicle.

That's a little surprising to me. That girl who's hard to get jacuzzi, frisbee, zamboni, zamboni. That makes sense. Xerox. Yeah. Taser. Clorox. Apex.

Hydrox. I guess I didn't know until recently. Oh, I can't wait to get home and eat some hydrox. Honestly, it sounds like a cleaning product. I didn't know until recently that laser is an acronym. Light and Sound Equals Razor. Light and Sound Equals Razor. Oh my God, have you seen that they're bringing back the Motorola Razr phone, which was a

phone I had a million years ago. I want, I loved mine. I loved the hot pink one. It cost $200, which was disgustingly steep at the time. It's a flip phone. It's a flip phone. Now it's still a flip phone. It was the flip phone. I think I want it. I think about it. Maybe you'll make enough money to get one someday. The problem is I'm so tapped in with this iPhone situation, but I really love the idea of closing my little flip phone and tossing it. It's just such a nostalgic feeling that I want. I loved it and I wonder if I could regain my T9 texting skills.

I don't think you need them though because I think it's a smart screen. No. Yeah. I do miss buttons. I miss buttons. Buttons. Do you think you'd ever get a dumb phone? Maybe.

I tell you what, I'm getting kind of a... I'm weaning myself off of my watch because I'm sick of the... Yeah, you did mention that. Yeah. And I just don't like it anymore. So you want to wear like a regular watch yeah I loved watches and I it is fun I think a little style yeah exactly and it is like app the Apple watch to me is not like my style but I like I have a different band as well as you

Paul where where you'll check your watch because you get an email and I will assume like you're exactly time or you're like it's distracting to also be as you Paul where you'll check your watch because you get an email and I will assume like you're out of time or you're like. It's distracting to also be able to get an email while doing something. Yeah, I don't want that. I don't need it. Yeah, I wanna get all my emails at like 8 p.m. every day.

Like the whole days. Just send them to me all at once. 8 p.m. Yeah, what about 9 a.m. No, then I have to get back to everyone all day. What's this other game that you guys are playing with the circles and the, what the fuck is that? Oh, you'd love it.

Strands. Strands. I don't love it. I'm struggling with it. Today's was hard. I didn't do it today yet, but yesterday I did it with no hints and that was the first time that happened

and I was pretty proud. And I got the symbolism or whatever it's called. The spanagram. The spanagram immediately. What is the concept? It's a word search, my dear boy. But you don't know what the words are. Have you ever searched for words?

I've been at a loss for them. So it's a it's a what it looks like to me is a pile of gobbledygook. OK, where I'm like, what is this? I know I can't see anything. There's the title of the of the strand is called something like the first time it happened, I was like, am I beautiful minding right now? Because this is you are seeing the word seeing all these, like just gobbledygook in front of my head.

I thought that was like a, you were hitting on someone. Am I beautiful minding right now? I don't like, or are you a bunch of numbers right now? I almost gave up. Or will you hold it against me right now? Yesterday was the first time I could see the words pretty quickly. Yeah, me too. And the, and the first word I guess see the words pretty quickly. Yeah, me too. And the first word I guess was one of the real words.

And so then I was like, oh, I think I get what the theme is. Today I needed two or three hints. I saw you had a little light bulbs there. It's in beta and I don't think it's ready for prime time. Well, the numbers one was in beta and I used to play it. And then they- What's the numbers on? It was where you have to figure out,

like they give you six numbers and then they give you the target number and you have to figure out like they give you six numbers and then they give you the target number and you have to figure out how to add and multiply and divide the numbers your six numbers to reach that target number. Oh my god. But it was in beta forever and then then I went back on it and it was like beta has now concluded and they never did. Nobody liked that. Yeah no one liked it. This is ridiculous. I also don't like the the the score sharing. It just yeah, it's not it's not as viral as connections or as word. Yeah, it doesn't really give you any sort of like idea of what happened. Yeah, we were in the word or rut for a while where it was like we were

automatically sending each other wordals. Yeah, we were really. And then I think Paul's trying to break the chain. He's going we're not going to keep sending connections every day. And then we went, we'll still keep going, but you don't have to play, but it will fall. But now you're adding stickers on top of our scores. Yeah, as a protest. As a protest. Why? We're already protesting by not doing it.

We wanted to confront you. Why? Why? Because I don't care, man. This is an intervention. Why? I don't care. Why? Read your letters. Go ahead. Read your letters. No, if this is an intervention, read your letters to me.

Okay. Paul? Yeah? It really, really hurt me that you put a sticker over Scott's score. It was the icing on the cake. It was the cherry on top. So you liked it. It was the. Icing on cakes is pretty good. Yeah. It's maybe better than the cake. It was the last straw. Ooh, that sounds bad.

But still you got a straw. It hurt me so bad that I didn't know what you got on your score, but you were pasting a sticker over his score. I didn't have a score. This is my letter. Would you please listen to the letter without interjecting?

Listen without prejudice, is that what you're saying? Sure, yeah. Part one? The end. Was that a part one? Oh, shit, I was so close to the end, I really wish I had said anything. Lauren. Volume one.

What are you gonna read yours? Oh, that's in your letter? Yeah. What are you gonna read yours? Yeah, that was my P.S. She anticipated everything. Oh, yeah, that's in your letter. Yeah, what are you gonna read yours? Yeah, how you answer your P.s. She anticipated everything. Oh, I said the end. What do you read yours? Paul Your friendship means the world to me. You've been there for me through thick and through thin. I should have said stuff like that

Yeah, you and now I want to be there for you in your time of need. Hmm. You fucking jerk. Hey Hey, this is your letter. It's your letter. I have to listen without prejudice volume one for you in your time of need. You fucking jerk. Hey. Hey. It's your letter. It's your letter. I have to listen without prejudice volume one. Stop putting your fucking stickers over my scores that Lauren wants to know if she can do better than me. I just wanna know if I could do better,

if I could do fewer light bulbs. And she can today. She could have today because I had two or three light bulbs. We'll see. I'm gonna do it later, okay? Today didn't make any sense. All you have to do is long hold the sticker. It might make sense to me. I finally figured it out like do it later. Okay today didn't make any sense. All you have to do is long to you sticker It might make I finally figured it out Like an hour later. I was like, what does that clue even mean?

Let me give it a glance give it a little quick glan take a look. Do you know I've been trying to think of Someone's last name. This is somebody used to work with many years ago and I can't remember her last name work with many years ago. And I can't remember her last name. But when I try to think of it paired with her first name, my mind always goes to the last name Glancy, which is someone else I worked with. I tried to think of someone that I know very well yesterday.

And I was like, what is their name? I can't, their first name. Was it me? Yeah. I knew it. No, you've got good branding. I've been trying to get you guys out for this whole podcast. I've got good branding. Yeah, your PFT thing.

That whole thing is like good branding. I didn't even, it wasn't even my idea. Whose was it? I don't know, people have always been calling me that. Yeah. Yeah. People throughout my life have called me Lapi, Lapkus. People call me by my last name a lot.

Yeah, you got one of those last names. Yeah, but I've never thought of it that way. I'm always surprised by it. Not always, but it's just. I call you Lapsy sometimes. Yeah, that's Australian. Lapsy. Lapsy.

Lapsy. Laza. That was tough. Lapsy. Lala. I'm just trying to do every vowel like they do. Can we talk about Australian traders finally? Reality Week after all. No. Laza? I was tough. La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la I've only heard it just in passing because Mike watched it. Yeah, I'm kangaroos. We're five episodes in No kangaroos so far Interesting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was a bold choice. I would assume it would be all kangaroos, but you're saying none

No, it's people. How do they keep the kangaroos out of the shot? Yeah, I don't know what they do Is there a kangaroo? You can't hear them trying to get in. Kangaroo Wrangler going like, stay back! Kangarang, yeah. Oh, Kangarang is there? Oh, he's great. He's the best at it. Kangarangler. The host is the least fun of the hosts so far.

Tough. Yeah, I don't know him. Is he Scottish? He's an actor there. No, he is Australian. See, that's the thing. USA traders, you got a Scottish guy. It should always be someone from a different country. Oh, he is Australian. See, that's the thing. USA traders, you got a Scottish guy. It should always be someone from a different country. Oh, interesting.

You know, to add a bit of mystique. Like, get an American over there. Yeah. Oh, that's more mysterious. What if it was a French person that hosted the UK one? Well, because it gives the air of, we're in a game. I am leading you. You are traitors. Like,

like Alan Cummings accent is so it doesn't mean while if you're just Australian, it's like, oh, so you're just some guy down the street. Yeah. It does take away a little bit of the like sort of gameplay mystique. They're also in the Australian one. They're in a hotel instead of a castle. And instead of instead of, instead of although it does seem like they actually stay there. Whereas in the castle, they never stay in the US. Well, in the USA one, they don't acknowledge that they don't stay there. But in the UK one, it's like, okay, the cars are taking you away now.

You can't be here anymore. One thing that is not explained that I wouldn't mind being explained is where they go and how they're separated so that they never know who the traitor is. Would you like to know? You know? Yes. Oh, okay, sure. They essentially stay at a holiday express

or whatever by the airport. Well, I hope it's not that bad. They're sequestered like jury style and they can't talk to each other. So they bring them food and shit, but they can't see each other, talk to each other. And like, so I guess they must be on different floors. And so you're not hearing a door slam at 8 p.m.

You're like, oh, there goes so and so. You're not hearing it. Yeah. Yeah. We killed another one. We are the traitors. Okay, we have to go. We'll be right back.

And this is very exciting. We have a very exciting three-turn. Is it time? Yeah, it's time. Oh my God, I'm so excited. All right, we'll be right back. I'm so excited. Hi, we're back. Who's going first? I'm going first. Scott.

So she can, she can wash, can't she? No, cause I can't, I can't, well, yes, cause I'm going to know what the flavors are. Okay, we need to, okay, so hey. We're doing the Pepsi challenge. We're setting up right now. We're doing the Pepsi challenge. Paul was gracious enough to go buy a market

on the way home. Did you go on the way home, Paul? Uh, and he picked up four different types of cola, including Coke and Pepsi. Now, if I may remind you a couple of weeks ago, Lauren, we talked about the Pepsi challenge and Lauren was incredulous thinking that anyone could not know the taste of Coke.

I know and I'm getting scared now of course. She knows the taste of Coke like the back of her hand she says. But I haven't had it. My most recent sip was at Christmas. Now she's backing down a little bit. But I am saying my most recent sip was at Christmas. And then I was like, I actually was like, everyone was drinking Coke and I was like, I want one.

And then it was so strong to me that I actually backed off. Right. Okay. So now what we're doing is Paul is pouring and Paul, do you want to say what the brands are? Can I turn around now? No. Okay. But do you want to say what the brands are? 1001, 1002. We of course have Coke. We have Pepsi. We also have Boylan's,

Cane Cola, and we have Fentimans Curiosity. That sounds too much like fentanyl. Random. Yeah, don't touch it. What's the what's the one with the B called? Boylan's, that's a, is that a market? I don't know.

I've heard of it, but don't remember what it is. It's from the Boylands Bottling Company. So here's the things we're gonna do. We're gonna first say which one we like best out of the taste test challenge. That's the spirit of the Pepsi challenge. The original Pepsi challenge was just to say which one you like best.

Scott, your glasses are ready. I can turn around? Yes. Let me know. Hopefully you cannot see the writing through there. I cannot see the writing. Okay, good. Yes, you may turn around.

Wait, am I going to be able to see what his answers are when he's getting wrong? Yes. Yes. Okay. Just making sure that's okay. So we're going to go me, then Paul, then Lauren. So we're going to do two things. Which we like best, the spirit of the Pepsi challenge. And then which is Coke.

Okay. We don't have to identify the other ones. No. Okay. I think that's fair. We can extra credit if, if we want, but okay. All right. So for the first glass, taking a sip. Interesting. He finds it interesting. Okay. Caramel second glass. I'm going to do a photo so we can post it.

Oh gosh. Okay. That one got him a little bit. Wow. Mm-hmm. Non-committal judgment. Mm-hmm. Don't like that. Oh he doesn't like it. Okay I have my answer. Okay which one is your favorite? Favorite is this one. Okay. And which one is Coke? Coke is this. Do we tell him? Yes, we do. Yeah.

Scott? Yes? You did not guess your favorite one correctly. What do you mean? Oh, shit! Your favorite was Boylan's Cola. Yes. Really?

And you identified Coca-Cola as Pepsi-Cola. It was Pepsi. You identified Pepsi as Coke. That was Pepsi. And which one did I not like? That was Curiosity-Cola. That was Curiosity-Cola. Okay, so the first one was Coke.

Yeah. Okay, yeah. The Boylands is delicious. Boylands is really good. Don't describe anything. Okay. Lauren, you're next. Okay, I can't wait.

I'm gonna, Lauren's turning away. Lauren's turning away, this is so exciting. And now I get a peek behind the curtain. This is so exciting, I'm really, I'm just, I can't believe it. Yeah, this is one of the most exciting things we've ever done on Three Dome. It is. And that's saying something. This is, yeah.

I'm saying we suck. Because this sucks. It is one of the most exciting things we've ever done. None of us like it. I'm really excited because I genuinely don't know what's going to happen right now. I really don't know. Yeah, wow.

This is very exciting. Paul is pouring right now. Tell me when you're ready to go. Yeah, of course. I'm filling air. We're just going to finish and then just never let you know that you can turn around. Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Almost there. We have one more, Lauren, and then you'll be able to turn around. Paul's pouring skills, by the way, are exceptional. He's not leaving a drop on the table. He's twisting the rim. Thank you. As you would when you're pouring. He's twisting the rim. Thank you.

As you would when you're pouring wine. Gotta twist the rim. In order to make sure not to spill any drops. All right. Lauren, you're ready. Okay. Don't drink those tissues. They're in front of one of the glasses.

Oh, it tastes like cotton. Okay. Okay. All right, going for the first one. I'm so nervous. Oh my God. Remember how confident you were that you knew which. Oh, that tastes like fucking ass.

Okay, that's horrible. Oh, she's palate cleansing with some water. It's gotta be curiosity. Hmm, interesting. We'll see. Okay, she's tasting the second one. I don't like that. Oh, she didn't like it.

Okay. Didn't like it, okay. Okay, she's trying. Hey, I'm gonna do water again. She's doing water again. She's doing water again. I gotta be able to. Yeah, truly cleansed the palate.

Taking the sip of number three. Okay. Okay. Okay. Now number four is approaching her lips. She's taking no water in between. No, she puts it down and now takes the water. She almost slipped up. I've got it 100%.

She's got it 100%. Now tell us your favorite. So the Pepsi challenge, my favorite is this one. This one's Coke. You fucking nailed it. Yes! Yes. Your favorite was Pepsi.

My favorite quote unquote is Pepsi because that's the Pepsi challenge. I'm supposed to make that my favorite. No, no, that's not. No, you're supposed to say what your favorite is. You have to be honest about this. No, my favorite was Coke. You're not trying to get on camera like I was at the Magic Mountain. That's what I thought the Pepsi challenge was. No. What is your favorite is. You have to be honest about this. Oh, my favorite was Coke. You're not trying to get on camera like I was at the Magic Mountain. That's what I thought the Pepsi challenge was.

No. What is your favorite? Well, whatever. I guessed him right. Yeah, but what is your favorite? Coke is my favorite. Really? OK. Jesus Christ. Let me go back to the well. Hold on. Yeah, I love the Coke.

OK. I'll try Pepsi again. Hold on. All right, Lauren, are you going to play because you're your mother? Was I right that this was curiosity. Yeah, I got them all right You got them all right. Yeah, you did guys come on. I deserve applause But then you didn't play it the way that we said All right, all right mix those up for Paul

So, you know what to do. I'm gonna look at my phone. This is some great phone time So you're leaving me to do the play by play? You could really look at a bunch of stuff. How can I do the play by play? You could talk about what's- I'm waiting for the thing to happen. What about talking about what's outside the glass? What's outside the glass?

God, that's funny. That scene is so funny. The what's in the box. What's in the box? What's in the box. Cause you know, it was like take 112 and he's just doing it different just to do it different. What's in the box. Does that make you happy? Mr. Fincher? Oh yeah, it does. I'm going to put that one in. Don't please don't put that one in. Everyone's going to make fun of me.

It's a good movie. Brad Pitt's very dumb in that movie. Yeah. Like the character. He used to play dumb in that movie. Yeah. Like the character. He used to play dumb guys very well. Yeah, it's not really. I mean, he kind of still does. In Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, he's pretty dumb. I didn't think he was dumb in that. I thought he was just like a very simple living person in a way. Right. Do you know what I mean? I do know what you mean, Paul.

That's a good. No pretense. Wow. That's a heavy pour. Alltense. Wow, that's a heavy pour. All right, Paul, I believe we're ready. You may make sure that's obscured. Yes, very good. Hold on one second. Okay, very good, very good. All right, Paul, we're ready for you to turn around.

All right. Oh my God, I'm so sad. Glasses in front of you. Okay, let me take a picture because this is actually a better angle for the picture. The color is all, is pretty consistent. It is, honestly, it's pretty confusing. All right, I'm gonna go from left to right.

Left to right, much like we read books in America, not Japan. He's taking the sip of the first one. Took a healthy sip. sip of the first one. Took a healthy sip. He's tasting a little bit on his lips. He says, Hmm. After the first one. Now he does not have a palate cleanser. No, not everyone's so lucky. I forgot to bring my bottle. So he's going straight to number two. Took the sip of that.

Nods to himself as if he knows exactly what that is. He's taking a sip of the third one, tasting it on his lips. Tasting it on his lips. Licking seductively. Winking at us. Guess which one it is, I guess. Crooking one finger and a come here. Come hither.

He's taking his sip of the fourth one and he grimaces. That's curiosity. Okay. We know. Okay, we all know what curiosity is. That's not the challenge. That's not the challenge. It's not the curiosity call out challenge.

I just wanted to call out my hand. In the spirit of the Pepsi challenge. We kind of gotta talk about it. That one's really got a lot going on. yeah. In the spirit of the Pepsi challenge.

He's taking a sip of the first one. He thinks he, well he pointed out what the fourth one was. Well he got very seductive on

that one. Yeah, but he's taking a sip of one and three. He says he knows what two and four are. Let's get some guesses out here. Four he says is curiosity. This is my favorite. Okay. And this one's Pepsi. Wow. You're supposed to know what Coke is, not what Pepsi. This one's Coke. Your favorite that you said is Coke is Pepsi. The true Pepsi challenge. Pepsi is Coke.

You got it wrong. I got Pepsi challenge. You got Pepsi challenge. No, I said Boilins is my favorite. Okay. Sorry to disappoint you. I know this one's Boilins, but I did not like it as much as the other two. I thought Boilins. I usually Sorry to disappoint you. I know this one's Boylands, but I did not like it as much. You didn't like it. I thought it was Boylands. This curiosity is wild. It's

really bad. There was so much going on. I couldn't find RC. Yeah. RC would have been a good Pepsi comparison. Yeah. Probably. I haven't had RC in a million years. Me neither, but my memories- What does it stand for? Royal Crown. Royal Crown, of course. Elegant. This was a blast, I have to say. It was fun. Can I finish off the boilers? Sure, sure, of course.

If no one's gonna have it. Yeah, give me the rest of that bot. Stands for bottle. Stands for? Yeah, short for bottle. That was really fun. That was really fun. And now, Lauren, you know what the Pepsi challenge is.

And I know that I know the difference between Coke and Pepsi, and I was right. And you were right, and you still like Coke, which is surprising. But Pepsi. It was harder for me than I thought to determine the difference between Coke and Pepsi. This is you did truly what the advertisements were, which is you pointed out and said, this is Coke and this is my favorite. And then we revealed it's actually Pepsi. And your favorite is Pepsi. You lying. But, and yet I know that's not true.

Yeah, but you know what I mean? But you know what? It is because you didn't know what it was and that was your favorite. It's a Love is Blind. It's truly a Love is Blind. Cola Love is Blind. Love is Blind Cola Edition.

That's what this game is. Yeah. That's what they should have called the Pepsi challenge. Yeah. Love is Blind Cola edition. What is the regular edition? Now I can taste the difference.

Now that I know what they are. You can tee the D. I can tee the D. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting. You know what I heard about Coke and Pepsi was that. They're the same company. They're the same company. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. That whole thing. Pepsi Cola.

That's I think that's the rumor about everything. They're the same company. And they just bottle is claiming to be 100% recyclable. And it says, recycle me again. Again. Jesus Christ, you freak. How many times I got to do this with your ass. Why don't you take over?

Cola, recycle myself. Getting nasty. All right, well, listen, this is Freedom. That's how it goes. And thank you for listening. That was exciting, I gotta say that. It was really fun. It was a blast.
