Hey Mark, fake banter for the intro. That's all I know how to do. Great. Good to be here. Welcome to Tuesdays with Stories. Hit her in the face with a surfboard. And then the duck fell out of his bag. Surf's up.

And she didn't even flush. Knock, knock. Who's there? Mark Norman and Joe List. Yeah. This Tuesdays with Stories, everybody. No, that's terrible. This is supposed to be cheesy.

Radio is spitting at May. It's late in the afternoon, but we're here, we're queer. It's been a wild week, but we're back. Crazy week. The special's out. It's happening. It's so exciting because Netflix knows where Rosemary goes. You turn on Netflix and, whoa, man, it's Mickey.

It's just you sitting there. I'm sorry to infiltrate your home like that. But trying to get the word out, trying to get the views up. We crack the top 10. I'd love to keep on pushing. You got WWE Raw. I can't be Raw. Oh, so it's not just comedy.

It's all the things? All the shows. It's movie lists, top ten, and shows. And stand-up is considered a show. Oh, okay. And I got Raw up my ass. I'm Raw dogging. I don't care for this raw business.

I hate Raw. I like Cooked. Who gives a shit? Junk looks upset. I don't know. I don't like Raw. I don't like... You got wrestling.

We got comedians writing jokes and saying jokes, and you got some asshole in his underwear off the top rope. Yeah, that's Burke Kreiser. But no, I, uh, what the hell happened to his tour bus, by the way? Good Lord. Did you see that? It looked like Gaza footage. I didn't know what happened.

It was unbelievable. So, yeah, I mean, I watched his Insta stories. And yeah, somebody said, best commented, you touring Iran or something like that, Tehran? Oh, fun. A couple good lines. But evidently, they're on the tour bus, him and Ian Fidance and some other guy, who I didn't know. And they go. Is he smoking on it?

Was that what it did it? Well, the bus tire blows up. Ah. And they go, oh, shit, the tire blew out, sucked me sideways. They all get off. They get a new bus. Not a new bus. They get on the crew bus.

Crew bus. Because behind is the crew. So they get on that bus. They're all bummed out, I'm sure. It's like, you know, life. They go, oh, geez, the bus. Are we rolling? Checks pressing a button.

That's all button bush. Don't worry every time I move. There's no reason to run. I just watch you press the record button. You walk over and pressed a button. There's no red light on it. the lens cap is on. Look like an important button.

Very unimportant button. Big button. All right, all right. Button up. Between the buttons. Buttons. Button hole. Charles S. Button.

Benjamin button? So they had a tire blow out, evidently. They all get on the crew bus. They're all bummed out. They're sitting in the crew. They're like, oh, I hate these guys. That's not the only thing. Ian's blown.

Then the bus gets a new tire, starts driving, and blows up. And evidently it was in the middle of the night. They all would have been sleeping in the back. Who knows. I mean, it could be a story, but certainly their bus blew up, and the bus driver had 15 seconds to get. I'm telling this like I was there. Wow.

This is what Bert said. But crazy. They could have all been dead. Wow, God willing. So the driver saw the riding on the walls and skedaddled? No, I think it was like the beginning of casino. I think it was like, and dove out the side. He had 15 seconds.

He got out and ate or whatever. Man. Got out and ate dinner. And stopped, dropped, and rolled, and the thing was a fucking dust bunny by the end of the day. I guess the Russians finally came back for the machine. Hey, that's pretty good. Uh-huh. Nothing could stop the machine except a industrial fire.

But my God, it's one of those moments for you're like, that would have been fucking crazy if Ian and Bert just burned up in a fire. Man, that's good eating, though. Bert on a skillet. Burt. Burt Chrysier. There it is. There it is. Well, something's burning, which I thought of and Crackamiko got it first.

So I was like, oh, that's a clever quiff for that crackie. He's good. He's quick. He's good. Oh, what was I going to say? Yeah, that'd be one of those Sam Kittison deaths. You know, everybody's like, oh, Sam Kittison. He's going to do blow until he dies.

He's fat. He's going to get drunk driving. And he gets hit by a drunk driver. He wouldn't even do anything wrong, and he dies. Right. Burt getting burned alive. Everybody thinks, oh, his liver's going to fail. He's going to fall off a cliff drinking.

His shirt's going to get caught in something, like a helicopter propeller. Stevie Ray Vaughn, same thing. What happened there? Got sober and I was in recovery. You can hear his A-8 tapes online. Sober guy cleaned up helicopter crash. No. He got Kobe'd?

Yeah. I didn't know that. I could be wrong. Am I right about that? I think I'm right about that. Theo Vaugh? Pretty sure. Look up Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Oh, Stevie Ray. Yeah, yeah. Now Theo's alive and well. Yes, yes. I don't know if he's well. I haven't spoken to it. Not mentally, I don't think. Ever in my life, but career-wise, I think he's doing fun.

Yeah, he's kicking butt. Oh, yeah. I like that store Vaughans down there in California. Oh, yeah. That's pretty good. That's grocery? I think so. Yeah, yeah.

But they also got, like, you know, beach balls and such like that. Ah, that is Vince Vaughn. And there's Ralph's. Oh, yeah. Ralph's, I think, is the low end. We got Stop and Shop over here. Boy, tough start to this episode. What do you got there, Chuck?

It says he died in 1990, 1990 at age 35, following a concert. 35. The helicopter struck a ski slope shortly after takeoff in a dense fog. Dense fog. These helicopters,

you've got to be careful in these fucking helicopters. No, thank you. I'm not into it. 35. Whenever you hear a guy died at 35, what's the first thing you think? Are the 27 Club

or Jesus at 33? What's the first thing you think when you hear about that? I mean, it's just horrible and it's crazy to me how, I think I talked about this recently, how similar Bill Hicks and Stevie Ray Vaughna.

I just put them in such a close-knit pile. Interesting. Texas. They both have the same big hat. Both die 132, 135. Both have the kind of Austin roots. Both kind of alcoholics, get sober, die tragically. Both kind of phenoms considered the greats of their time at their thing. And basically the same time period.

Stevie Ray dies in 90, and Hicks dies in 94. Interesting. Isn't it so a two very connected guy? I don't hear enough people talk about. I'd never put that together. How kind of connecting feeling they are. Yeah. Yeah, well, what is the, what is Stevie Ray Vaughn's claim to fame?

Like the best guitarist ever. I mean, some people could say that. I think he's one of the best at least. Maybe the best white guitar player ever. Big blues guy, you know. We've got a big hit song I've heard of. He's got a big hit song I've heard of. The biggest hit hit, I mean, he's more of a solo, like whale-lily guy.

Got it. Love struck baby, I must confess. Lap but that you need a voodoo child cover that fucking ripped. He had the, oh, I can't think of songs on the spot. So he was just like one of these. She's my pride and joy. Oh, yeah. Oh, sweet little baby.

Oh, little lover boy. He's got a great acoustic song, Life by the Drop. Okay. He's amazing that his brother is also of fucking Rick Vaughn from the Cleveland Indians Just kidding But no, his brother is a good guitarist as well And Jimmy

Double Trouble, Texas flood Well, it's flooding down in Texas All the telephone lines are down All right, okay Well, RIP, Stevie Ray and Hicks Tough, tough sledding out there Don't get on a chopper folks, it's bad news There's too many chopper deaths

Yeah, I mean they had the one in the East, or the Hudson River, not that long ago. That's right. Which Tim Dillon had a great bit. He's like, someone had to continue trying to sell tickets that day. They're like, hey, folks, what are the chances? Come on. Right.

That's a good bit. God damn, the helicopter. Family. No. Oh, yeah, kids and everything, the whole night. Good golly. Yeah. All right, well, let's switch gears.

Yeah, I'm burning a boat then. I got Shay, She out today. I did Seth Myers last night. I did Good Morning, New York. yesterday, and then I did pods today, I did Triggerometry. I'm doing Rich Eisen, doing Rogan, doing Adam Ray, doing Santino, Bobby Lee. The list goes on. Good Lord.

Then do you get worried? Everyone's going to just be like, enough with this asshole. Do they spread them out a little? I hope so. Yeah, actually not really. That's a good question. Good question, Aguato. Yeah, well, I think the Rogan will come out in a week or something.

So, yeah, I think it's a little spread. But I think you've got to hit it hard out of the gate and then trickle. trickle off trickle nomitry Yeah Trichonometry isn't that a big Pod that one's pretty big and it's all political And I had that thing where these guys are smart They know this stuff and they're British

So I went to their studio And you're just sitting on a big oak table And they're like what do you think of Iran? And I'm like Ayatollah's gay And they just stare at you And I'm like Uh

Gay of Harboos And they're like All right We gotta go or whatever It was just You can If you watch it, I'm just spazzing the whole time because they just stare at you.

Oh, God. I hate British stares. Oh, my God, the worst. Can you, yes, and me for God's sakes? Yes, yes, yeah. And I think they're like, oh, he's a comedian. He'll just go. Right.

And I'm like, I got nowhere to go. I can make a zinger and then I'm out. That's my move. I'm like, George. I get the laugh and I move on. I never really listen to that podcast, but I know I hear about people talking about it. It doesn't sound like a zingy show.

No, and they're cool guys. They're one-um's a comic one. to be a comic so they get it. They get the comedy thing, but they're like, oh, he's a, he's an established comedian. We're going to just let them juggle and tiptoe and tippy dippy day day. And, you know, I'm like, oh, yeah, well, what are you going to do with NATO? I don't know what NATO is. You know, I'm just, I'm just trying to say smart shit. That's the National Alliance of Total Overees. Oh, total ovaries. Okay. It's a Schwarzenegger film. I don't know. I'm off. I'm all off, Jerry.

That's a long week. I came straight from the rags and they're gay and scary and I've had too much caffeine. I'm sorry. Too much caffeine will get you. There's a tipping point. I know. I just had a brownie too. I haven't had a meal.

I haven't seen my kid. My dick fall off, fell off. I can't even speak properly. Well, we're getting noise. Sam's got a hole in his stomach, a hole in his heart, and a hole in his ass. He's like, I can't have having a coffee in two weeks. I got to slow down on the booze. My doctors told me I'm Jewish.

He's fucked. Well, he's stressed out. Out there. He's trying to take a big. vacation or something? What's he doing? Well, he's actually, you know, he shot his special. Apparently it went great and he's just... Decompressed it easy. Decompressed, Jerry.

I think that's the move these days because I was talking to another big comic who just did a thing. And my manager was like, oh, you can't get in touch with him. He's off the grid for a couple months. And I was like, oh, wow. That might be the move. But you don't want to go too off. You don't want to go Ari where you're in fucking the Himalayas. Right.

Ari's turned into Jay Peterman. He's like, oh, then I was selling a horsehair shoe out in Zimbabwe, and you're like, all right, get your ass back to Earth, will you? You fucking he? I was just busting my balls because he's like, yeah, I tried getting in touch with you, but you wouldn't download WhatsApp, so I couldn't even get in touch with you. I'm like, you're giving me shit because I didn't want to get a new app. You're living in the fucking jungle.

Exactly. Your bachelor party, he kept borrowing my phone. He's like, I've got to borrow your phone. I'm off iPhones. I don't do gossip. I don't use things after nine. I don't fuck. I'm going barefoot for June.

And then he's like, I couldn't get in touch with you because you wouldn't download WhatsApp. I'm like, what are you crazy? You're in the jungle. I know. He's Rick Jubin.

He's over here. Then he gets yelled at us for not signing a thing. It's a lot. So I don't know what to think, but he's back in the city. Yes. Did you see him yet?

I didn't see it. I'm saying too much about Ari in his stupid life, but he calls me. like, hey, Tuesday night, you want to go see Marcus King at the blue night? I go, yeah, I'm in. Oh, that's cool. And I go, normally I want a night off, I want a night off. If I have a night off, I want the night off. I'll be the boy. And I go, you know, I got to live. I'm leaving the city someday. I love Marcus King. He's a fan of mine, too. I go, yeah, I'm in. He goes, never mind. Team USA won the baseball game. I got to watch the baseball game. Why don't you write that in the invite, that there was a contingency? Also, all of a sudden, you can't miss a sporting event? You were just living in Africa for six months.

Oh, true. You missed the election, the Super Bowl, the Stanley Cup, the Olympics, and then he goes, I got to watch baseball. I know. Well, who are you? Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you who he is. He's a gay Ayatollah. He's got a beard down to here.

He's bald, and I want to bomb him. All right. And he bombs. So, there you go. We miss you, Ari. We love you. But, yeah, he's a cook. He's all pipes.

But, yeah, I did a good morning, New York. Which it's fun to be back on the news thing. I haven't done, you know, what do you call those? Like those segments. Daytime? Yeah, daytime news because it's, I used to do them all the time. You know, you're all out in Tampa and they're like, you sold eight tickets. You got to go on Crocodile on number five or whatever it's called.

Well, I think nobody does it anymore because of you. Maybe. I think you ended it for everybody. Everyone went, hey, enough of this. They're going to come on and say they rape kids or whatever. Right, right. Well, the beauty of a good day five or whatever is it's live. Oh.

So I got a lot of zingers in, and eventually the lady was like, you need to leave. And so that was kind of fun to be back. But it's that old shit where there's like an Irish, I did on St. Paddy's days, an Irish step dancing group of kids. They'd make a stew, like a Guinness stew over here. And they're all the segments. And it's fun. I got the guy with the headset, the cliffboard.

It was good to be back. I always love doing those TVs because you see the big cardboard wall. It's like wood on one side, and the other side is, you know, a grandma's house or whatever. And, yeah, everyone's very serious in unionie, but you have no nerves because no one's watching the stupid fucking thing. I know, I know. I don't care anymore. And you're like half asleep. I got the jizz of my eye.

My hair's up here, like something about Mary. If you look at it, I look like hell. But it's one of those things where you're like, you wake up early, you get your ass down there. Rush hour in New York. I forgot how much hell that is. You don't have to tell me. I'm out of here. Yeah, you're already gone, but you're just like this, and everybody hates each other,

and it's freezing cold, you get out of the subway, and it's like, whosh, the wind goes right up your face, and then you go in, you wait in a waiting room like this, and they go, you're on. They hit the on air light, you go on, you go, yeah, I got a special out. What's that? Jews, Israel, Holocaust, Tehran, Ayatollah, Iatola, I'll see you later, and then before you know it, you're on the street again. But you know what else is great about those shows? There's always a hot lady with stilettos nine inches long.

Every time I'm there, the host has a shoe I want in my ass. So bad. The host was pretty milphy, I got to say. And she felt a little flirty, but I don't know. Maybe that was just because I was touching her leg. Big heel? Decent heel. I love those heels.

Because they're not walking around. They're just sitting on a couch. So they're able to wear that fucking pointy foot, sexy shoe. Yeah. She was all businessy. He'll Hitler. It was exciting. And, yeah, you get out of there and then it's just over. And then I did Seth Myers, which is a blast.

I never did a couch. Oh, you did the couch? I did the couch. First couch, and all by, yeah, came out last night. I slept in it. Yeah. Is it online? It is.

I had no idea. Yeah, they only cut a few things, but I got to follow some hoity-to-y Broadway cunt. So I got to be a, I was zingingin-zagging. She was a big snooze. No kidding. How was Seth? He couldn't have been cooler.

He's a regular guy. I'll tell you, I was in the waiting room with the wife. They do the thing with eight guys with headsets and four girls. And they go, Seth's going to come say hi. You go, okay, great. I've eaten all the snacks. And he comes in and he's like, hey, what's up, man? How are you?

Thanks for doing the show. This is my wife. Okay. And he's so likable and charming. And he left him. My wife was like, that was amazing. He's good. Wow.

You can just feel it. Like, that's why they get these jobs, Jerry, because they're affable and charming. They know how to do. By the way, did you watch Conan at the Oscars? I loved it. He's amazing. I love that opening. He's a real treasure of that man.

The closing was great. The weapons opening with the makeup was genius, with the kids chasing him. I loved it. No, he's tremendous. But that's not my. I never come across him and never really watched the show. But I can believe it, of course. Yeah, yeah.

But I got to say, I don't want to besperch the queef. No, don't besmirch. But he was charming. Probably best marched him before. Probably. But he was great on the desk. He gave you a rope and let you play. And I said all kinds of crazy shit.

And he laughed. But there's 900 union guys there. And you just can't help but think, as we're a couple of internet quefs with one camera, a gay producer, Rupert, maybe. And it's like grip, clipboard, casting lady, makeup lady, haircuts. And it just goes and go. And you're like, I'm in the waiting room. There's seven guys on the wall just standing there with suits on.

And one guy started talking to me. He's like, yeah, I'm an ex-cop. I'm like, oh, wow. He's like, this is the best job I've ever had. I'm getting paid handsily. I drink coffee all day. I eat snacks. And if somebody gets out of line, I'm here.

But come on, it's sturdy rock. What am I doing? And they take you up and down in the elevator. And that's their whole job. Right. And you're like, God, no wonder this empire is crumbling because it's just a big money waste. Right. What the hell is a page?

Exactly. I'm a page. What does that mean? What is that? I'm supposed to read you? Right. Is this new stuff? That's good.

That's good. That is good stuff. Elliot Page. But, yeah, it was... I don't know what that is either. It felt like I was in a magazine, you know, because it's such an old primitive system over there. Right.

That you're like, wow, it's cool. I love 30 Rock. They pick you up in a limousine. You know, there's free shit. They give you a gift bag. You look like a million bucks. They put you in a green room. I was next to Steve Zon.

I love Steve Zon. I've been talking about Steve Zon. He was on the show. We met. We chatted. He couldn't have been cooler. I've been trying to make, I get this script. And I'm like, Steve Zon, we've got to get Steve Zon.

Evidently, he's one of these guys that's like Bill Murray. He has like a burner phone. If you want Steve Zon, that's what I heard. You got to call the 1-800 Zon. Yeah. He's a Stevie Boy. He doesn't have an agent or a manager. Yeah, Theo Zon.

But this guy is amazing. I love Zahn. I bumped him in the hallway, like literal bump in. I was like, oh, sorry. Oh, my God. And I went, I'm a big fan. He goes, I'm a fan, which I think is bullshit, but I'll take it. Wow.

I think you're bigger than Zon at this point. Well, Zon's in White Lotus. He's in Saving Silverman. He's got a rap sheet. I want to party with you. Oh, saving Silverman was 30 years ago, literally. That's true. Well, get some Zon resume if you can.

Well, Suburbia, he's great in that. That thing you do, he's great. I love him. And they did that remake. duel that was real silly. Oh, yeah. What that fuck was that called? Tag.

No, not tag. It was like they're on the pager. The truck is chasing them. They're fucking with them. It's basically dual, but sillier. From the 90s. Yeah, with Kurt Russell? No, no, no, no.

You're thinking of the Tarantino. What's that called? Highway, man. Joyride. Joy ride. Joyride. Joyride. Joy, right.

Joy luck, club. That thing you do. What do you got? He was just in the new Anaconda. That was a big one. Oh, there you go. He's probably plugging that on the show.

He was, yeah, he was plugging Anacon. Oh, yeah. That's really, that was a little while ago now. Well, they just threw out a bunch of credits out there. I see. What the fuck else? Those 90s, 2000s, indie things. Showed nudity in a White Lotus.

I think he's in, what's it called? Reality Bites, I believe. Oh, yeah. Maybe. He looks great. He's been around for 90 years. He looks amazing. Oh, there's some of those other things.

He's fucking terrific. Yeah, he's good. He was cool. But he didn't do a lot of zinging. You know, these actors are all hilarious, but they're not really cuff off of. You know what I mean? Dallas Pires Club. Oh, HIV.

Right, right, right, right. Well, anyways, he's the man. Yeah, it's cool. So then we left there. We got a steak dinner at Chelsea Hotel, which I highly recommend. Wow. Yeah, took the wife out. She got all dolled up.

I had a nice suede jacket on, and it just feels good. and I said, well, you know, I'm next to Gotham when I went and did a set, and I bombed. Ah, that's fun. So that'll take you right back down to Planet Anil. Well, Gothen could be tough on a weekday. It's a big room. They don't always have, you know, whatever.

Yeah, and it's always weird because the host is like, this guy is a special out today. And the crowd's like, oh, should I get the meatballs or the chicken fingers? Right. You know, and then you go up and you go, hey, everybody, blah, blah. And they go, all right, we got to get out of here

and they just start talking. That's comedy. All I can do is think of Steve Zon movies that I'm not thinking of that are so good and fun. Is he in Twister also? I don't think so. I'll look it up, but I don't think that's right. What am I thinking of?

Just rattle off every movie he made from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s. He's in one of the new Planet of the Apes movies. Okay. You're naming junk I don't care about. Give me that like indie rom-com stuff. I think it's a while ago. So like scrolling backwards,

a lot of stuff. I feel like he's underutilized. He's so good at comedy character acting that I feel like he should be in everything. He nails every role. He should be bigger. I don't know. All this stuff, strange wilderness. I think all the stuff you're thinking of is like from like 25 years ago.

Yeah, I think you're right. Yeah, well, I hope he's happy and I hope he's rich because he deserves it. I think he's doing it, right? You're looking up Zahn movies? I got to get Zon because he's not giving what I want. I know, but he's not giving us the goods here. He's in Daddy Daycare. He's in national security.

Out of sight. Out of sight. Great. Great out of sight. Love on a site. Reality bites, I told you. Oh, he's in you got mail. You've got mail.

Okay, okay. Again, old. He's in the good dinosaur. That's huge. I don't know that one. No, I never heard of that in my life. T.rex. Well, who's the good dinosaur? Tide.

He's in the air. Suburbia. I told you. Suburbia. He can do serious. He can do drama. Forces of Nature. Happy Texas.

I don't know that. Hamlet. Dr. Do Little 2. Joy Ride. Riding cars with boys. Saving. Wolverman, Daddy, Take Care, Employee of the Month, Chicken Little, Sahara. I remember that movie.

Benditas. Chicken Little was good. That falls off pretty hard here for a while. Yikesy, dikesy. Byers' good, boy. Byers Club was good. Oh, yeah. That was award winning.

Well, Oscars, I thought it was fun. I thought Conan was great. I think that, you know, some of my opinions I have to leave off the air here. You hate sinners. Dicey. I like sinners. I thought it was good. It's a fucking monster movie.

Of course. It's like a zombie fun romp movie. Yeah, it was a lot. It's a popcorn. It's silly. Like F1. It's a fun movie. I thought Michael B. Jordan.

I thought that was a crazy win. Oh, really? Oh, I thought Chalamey was better. that Ethan Hawk was better, that DeCapri was better. Not that he was bad, this Jordan. No, no, no. And then everyone's getting Standing O's. Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the great filmmakers in history.

Top five. I mean, this guy's been around for 30 years making banger after banger. It wins his first Academy Award ever. They sit and clap. And then the guy that wrote Sinners, the writer, Coogan. Is that his name, Coogunler? He wins writer. Standing O!

Wow. It feels racist. Literally. A lot of white guilt is like Paul Thomas Anderson is a Hall of Fame plaque. Yeah. Straight to the top. First ballot Hall of Famer. Never won an Oscar.

Finally wins. They go, oh, nice. All right. Cougler. He didn't get an O? No, oh. Cool. Everybody.

The black guy wrote. I feel a little bit fucking weird. Every single woman in black person got a standing ovation. Well, it's Hollywood, man. I feel like, what's going on here? Did you see the regulations they put out to win? win best picture, what you have to have? No. Oh, don't even look

at it. It's appalling that this is a part of art or filmmaking, because it's like, okay, you want to have an Oscar winner, you have to have these boxes checked, you have to have one disability, one gay, one color, whatever, and I'm not even kidding. It's out there. Pull it up, Faddy.

It's out there, Jerry, and I'm loving every minute of it. I was not loving it, and you go, all right, if you're going to implement all these rules, people are going to go make their own studios and make own Oscars. They're going to call Oscar Meyer and have a whole thing in Canada where they live all free. Right. No, I like sinners and I thought it was good and fun, but I don't know. I thought Michael B. Jordan was like, I thought he was good. I thought he was good performance. He's a good actor.

But I thought, yeah, I thought Shalameh was amazing. I thought DeCapri was amazing. I think Ethan Hawk was amazing. Yeah, I thought the whole Oscars was just trashed in Shalamoo. He got it right on the Well, he pissed everyone off about ballet or something. That shows what a bubble the Oscars are. They're like, we got a war in Iran. People are dying in the streets. We got all this shit going on. But the ballet, you cannot mock the ballet.

That's where our priorities are. Where are our actors? The ballet. But I thought it was a fun show. I thought Conan was great. And I was very happy that Pete T. Anderson got three awards and gave three great speeches. He didn't fuck up once. Didn't even, he had like three nights.

sincere, good things. He seems like a smart chap. What was that 1975 rant he went on? He was like, at 1975, it was Jaws, it was Pacino or whatever the hell. I think he was saying, like, all five of those movies are just home run, Hall of Famers. It's hard to pick one. It means all those movies are great.

Oh, like his category. Yeah, I think he's saying, these are all greats. I mean, I think F1 will stand at the test of time. That's up there with Dog Day Afternoon, if you ask me. But, you know, I thought it was fun. I like watching the audiences. It's fine because it feels like everyone's watching a thing. It's exciting.

Yeah. Although numbers were down. Yeah. What do you got? This is bananas, this list. Thank you. It's like bananas. All right, one of the first ones.

This is to qualify for being nominated for Best Picture? You can't win without this. All right, there's a couple. Ready? Lead or significant supporting actors from underrepresented racial or ethnic groups. So you have to have at least one of the leads from an ethnic group. Crazy. At least one.

What if it's a movie about one guy? Then at least 30% of all actors are from at least two underrepresented groups. The main storyline or theme of the film is centered on an underrepresented group. This is real to win Best Picture? This is real. This is scary. And I know we sound like a bunch of boomer queefs. We're not against diversity or anything.

It's just you shouldn't have rules for movies. It's a movie. I think maybe this is a reaction to a couple years ago where they were like boycotting the Oscars. Oscar's so white. Remember that? Of course. And look, I get it, but you can't force shit.

That's the death of art. Wow. That's funky. Yeah, what if you make a movie about the Ku Klux Klan or something? Or a movie about like the Middle Ages. Right. You know, in Germany. Uh-huh.

I'm just saying. Well, how many best pictures in the past wouldn't have won if they had these rules? Most of them. The Godfather. Forget about it. It's a bunch of whops. Silence of the Lambs? Yeah.

Yeah, I guess Jaws is out. Oh, well, keep it, keep going. Keep it going. It's all these LA Confidential and Shakespeare in Love, probably saving Private Ryan. Right. Forrest Gump. Boy, you had Bubba. You got Bubba.

But is that, that's on a lead. Well, he's one of the main characters, I guess. It's not about him, though. It has to be about an underrepresented. Well, I think retarded is pretty underrepresented. Not a bad. Yeah, disability. You know, a little off.

Good point. You're going to just have a. have to have a speech impediment or an earache or something in the movie just to qualify. Oh, I got an earache, baby. Yeah, no, it was a fun show. I'm worried that this is going to come out in nine weeks later. I know. You're right.

Keep it moving. How about this? I got a little tail for you. Tail feather. I love tail. Chuck's touching the camera. It makes me very nervous. He's back there.

My son went down, too, on my mother. But, now, what are you making of this? You know, I like Uber Eats. Sure. First of all, my neighborhood is great, and I love it. But it's a bit of a food desert over there. There's a Chipotle. There's an old burnt-out pizza, Picasso's pizza, but it's gone now.

Oh, it burned. It burned. To the ground. So, that's gone. There's a bodega. So you can get a sandwich on the corner there. Yeah, it's pretty good. It's almost a little market.

But you got Chipotle, and then you got Gristini's fucking grocery store. The hot food is never pleasant. Never good. Not lunch. You got to order delivery or else you have to cross the West Side Highway going to the financial district. So I'm wanting, and I got the baby, so he's napping.

So I order McDonald's delivered because I'm a piece of white trash. You got that right. And I love McDonald's. Sure. Does it hold up? Is it still as good as it used to be? Yeah.

It never changes. It's fucking... That's nice about it. Yeah. Love McDonald's. Even thinking about McDonald's, I want McDonald's. One of my favorite things to do is get McDonald's late at night

in the drive-thru, park, and eat it in the car. Wow. That was a serenized thing. We would just do that all the time. After a gig, you go to McDonald's. In the car. It's sitting the car and fucking eat it. Then you got to throw it out.

I host the car with a McDonald's for the rest of you like. That's true. Are you a fry guy? Big fry guy. I find their fries to be very good. I like a soggy shit fries. I like a soggy fry as well. Give me a limp noodle.

I like to order fries to go and leave them in the plastic and get them all squishy and yucky. Yeah, but sometimes you leave them too long, they go hard again. Like a dick, you know? Like if you leave it too long, you leave it too long, Now you get the stale fry. So it kind of gets petrified. What was that food fight? Food fighters.

Food fighters. That was a toy where like a French fry with a machine gun. I don't think of food fighters. That's a rock and roll bag. I see. Yeah, there was a pizza guy. Food fighters. Food fighters.

I think it was like one of those toys that I thought was cool and everyone had. I think it's actually like a cheapo depot white trash toy. Interesting. Yeah. I don't know food fighters. But anyhow, so I order McDonald's a baby's napping. I'm going, I'm going to get some McDonald's. I'm starving.

Here we go. And, you know, it costs $350 because it's Uber Eats, it's New York City. The fees. So I go, all right, double quarter pounder, French fry, chicken tenders with the baby, and a water. Send it my way. So it goes, hey, your order is in. And I'm starving. Okay, your order is in.

Should be there in five minutes. Mahumad has your thing. He's on a bike. Here he comes. I get the call. Hey, food's downstairs. All right, thank you. I'll be right down.

Are you running down the stairs? He's napping, so I got to get back, because I'm like, I don't want him to wake up and I'm done. That's scary. Go get the food. Come running back up. Fucking grab a few fries. Shove them in my mouth. I got my bottle of water.

Crack that open. Have a little guzzle. I pick up my double quarter pounder, light. It's like the old Seinfeldman with the milk container. You pick up, you go, oh. Yes, yes. It's light. I go, why is this light?

I bet they gave me a single quarter pounder. He's fucks. Open it up. No meat. What the fuck? It's a bun. I got photos. We'll put the photos in right here.

Meatless? It's bun, two slices of cheese, ketchup. Oh, this used to be a country. This is Trump's America. I go, what the fuck is this? They forgot the meat. They packed it up, they sent it? On St. Paddies, you got no patty.

No patty. Paddy wack. So I go, what the fuck is this? I go, all right, well, I guess they forgot to put the meat, but they closed the box. They put ketchup on it. You got ketchup on it. They put ketchup on it. They grilled up the bun.

cheese in. He's the biggest. Put it in the box. Put the box in the bag. Put the bag in a bigger bag. Put the bag. The bike bag guy rides over. Put him in a body bag.

How the fuck does this happen? Wow. What's in the box? So I take a photo. I go to Uber Eids. I go, you got a complaint. And they don't make it easy to get your money back. They don't make it easy.

A lot of steps. They go, what's your complaint? Do you have a complaint with the driver? Do you have a complaint with the fucking cook? Do you have a complaint with your mother? Do you have a complaint? Exactly. So I go, okay.

Yeah. No meat. No heat. Wonder why Christmas missed us. Birthdays were the worst days. We sip champagne when we're Thursday. No meat is crazy. It feels like a troll.

So I take the photo. They go, you want a refund? Yes, I want a refund. It's like $22. So I go, all right, fuck you. Refund. Take a photo. I laugh.

I go, this is crazy. But I'm out of double quarter pounder. You don't eat the bun? I want lunch. I can't eat a bun. I feel like what am I fucking hobo Joe over here? I might as well move to Texas with a handkerchief and a stick. What? You go to Texas anyway.

I know, but I'm saying, what do I do? I fucking put my stuff on top of my car and drive there? Yeah, yeah, that's crazy. I mean, I would eat the bun just for a snack. Well, I ate the fries. So I ate the fries. I go to Uber Eats. I reorder.

I go, I want my burger. All right. I'm getting a refri. I get that back in one to three days. They put it back in my account. They try to get you this way. They go, you want us to refund your Uber Eats bucks? No bucks.

I don't want Uber Eats. Because I don't know how to get to the Uber Eats dollars. I don't even like the team. I got $4,000 in the Uber Eats app. I don't know how to pay it. Ah, yeah, it's like Monopoly money. They try to get you in the system. Yeah, no system.

System of a down syndrome. So I go, no, give me the fucking put it in my account. Then I click reorder. Because I want the meat. I want the double quarter pounder. You got to have the meat, Jerry. I'm lunchless. We have the meats.

So it goes, okay, McDonald's got your order. They're putting it on the. grill. They're putting it in your ass. They got fucking Kumar has your food. Oh, no Harold? Well, I think he's eating the burger. I guess so. I bet that fucking driver was

doing a full white whale back there, like free willy. No, because the bag is sealed. They put the plastic McDonald's thing over it. Sorry, Mohammed. So here comes Kumar. Yeah. And I get the phone call. Hello. Was that Kumar?

I go, hello. Hey, food's here. I go downstairs. Baby's still sleeping. Hey, he goes, boy, you're hungry today. I knew that was coming. Oh, I got to deal with that shit. Come on.

Not a zinging you? How much does that cost for a zing? I got double shopping bag. They bring it in a shopping bag, so I got too bad. I look like fucking Hollygo lightly. Oh, is it the super? The disc guy?

Oh, I thought the driver said that. He's like, Jesus Christ. And I look like I'm fucking, you know, Brendan Frey. in that piece of shit whale. The whale. Yes, yes. Free willy or whatever it was. So I grabbed that.

I go, well, these assholes, they didn't put any meat. The guy goes, no meat. That's crazy. What are you, homo? I go, well, I dabbled in high school. You're vegan. Brian vegan. So I take it upstairs. I run upstairs hoping the baby's still asleep.

He's still asleep. At least you got some steps in with the McDonald's. Of course. So now I got a new fries. And I get two fries because I share with the baby. And if Sarah wants some. Two fries don't bother me. I have four fries.

All right. My forefathers. Four eyes over here. Great Don Gavin joke. I come from a big family. Four fathers. Oh, boy. You know this guy, Aaron Chen?

That guy's funny. I hear it. I hear he's a good, good little Asian. He's good. He goes, I'm a family man. I have a sister. Very similar joke to the other joke. But he's great.

He's got some great bits. Anyways, so now I crack up the bag. I love the sound of fan. This is a new addition to the show. Pull out the fries. Pick up the box. Huh. Light.

No, don't do it. What they? No pickle? Open the box. No meat. Shot the fuck. I can't believe what I'm hearing. I'll show you the photos.

Zoran. Double double quarter pounder. No meat neither. So twice they took the bun, put on the cheese, squirted the ketchup, closed it up, put it in the box, and sent it off. Well, how do you miss the meat? The meat's everything. Well, I don't know if there's a meat shortage, or if it's Iran, or if it's Russia.

or Israel, whatever it is. I have no idea. I blame Trump. Wow. But people are going to get serious about that. Fucking, fucking shut up. But anyways, no meat, twice. Double no meat.

Meeter made. So what do I do? I'm like, do I go to McDonald's and kick in the door and go, what the fuck's going on here? I think you have to. You got to slap some sense at him. This is crazy.

So now I go back to Uber Eats. I've got to figure out how to complain again. It looks like I'm running a scam. Right. They're running a scam. Because I'm just ordering off of Uber Eats and then immediately getting a reex. fund, which I realized, I guess you could just do, but they make you take a photo of it.

So I got photos of meatless burgers. Send of the check. Yeah, put it up here. Call in with your hypothesis. So here's the first one. 241 p.m. Oh, wait. Hold on.

This is the other one. You're right, though, because how do they know you're not just eating the meat and then taking a photo? That's a great point. I don't know. You hope that's not the case. Did I only take photos of one of them? Is there any chance you somehow clearly? like no meat or minus meat.

Is there any chance? No. I'm sure that's an option. No, because it says double quarter pounder with cheese. Why would they call it that? Yeah, that's true. You can substitute anything, though. You could be like no cheese, no tomato, no onion.

I don't think so. I can go look, but. You better check that before they check your account. I did Uber eat, like reorder. You know what I mean? Like, it would be the same. No, no, but I did reorder from the last time I ordered in the time before that, the time before that.

Okay. You got a system. Past orders. Okay, here we go. This is great. I mean, this is bigger than Watergate. Double quarter pounder with cheese. I'm not accusing. I'm just wondering about how this happened.

Large meal, two ketchupes, no pickle, no slivered onions. Slivered? That's it. Yeah, they sliver the onions. What the hell is a slivered onion? I think they sliver it. I see. So, double quarter pounder with cheese comes with two ketchup, no onions, no pickle.

There you go. And, yeah, quarter pound beef. You got everything except you got everything but cheese and meat on there. They just not sending me the beef. Wow. Where's the beef? I don't know. Literally.

Crazy. I guess I'm ordering buns over here. Ironically, you have beef with them. I got big beef and I don't know what to do. Wow. You got no meat. Now you have a beef. You should have called the McDonald's and said, what's going on here?

I just did two Uber Eats and they both came without meat. Let's call them. Let's call them right now. This is like my old bin. Yeah. Get on the horn. Who calls McDonald's? What McDonald's is it? On Wall Street? I don't know. Get on there, Choochoo.

Well, when was this order? I mean, it's a weird thing now. Well, you can still yell at him. I just want to hear a crazy black guy answer the phone. I'm a do. I'm a do. My friend got no meat a couple days ago? Well, we can hand him the phone. He's the victim here. I'm scared. McDonald's. I don't know. It doesn't say what McDonald's it is.

Order completed. Oh, View Store. Here we go. I think Chuck should do the talking. All right. Put it on air. 160 Broadway. 160 Broadway. Map quested. And then get the phone number.

But who we... You can't say my name, a number here. Use my name. I don't care. Well, I'll say your name. No, don't say my name. This never happened at Wendy's. No, because they're gonna...

They could firebomb my house. I live down the street, for God's sake. I mean, I gotta give them something. Order number. Oh. No, that'll give them my address. You gotta make up a name. Say Marty McFly, fucking 69,

Blowjob way 16 what? Broadway. 160 Broadway McDonald's. An old Broadway. We got to give him the I'll be kind. I won't yell.

Give them the date at least. Yeah. And say, hey, what's going on here? We got two meatless burgers, you homos. We'd like a little beef. Double quarter pounder with cheese, two ketchup, no slivered onions, no pickle, no, uh-oh.

Oh, boy. Wait a about. What did you click? Oh, no. I knew it. I knew it. Oh, you got the vegan option. Oh, no.

You picked vegan? No quarter pound beef. Oh, I knew it. Oh, you fucked up. How did I do that? Oh, my God. No quarter pound beef. Oh, man, you saved nine cents.

Your thumb is going crazy. No, a buck 89. Fuck. Oh, wow. You're taking off everything out. All right, well, I got fat thumbs. Delete this because we can't have Uber E'd see it because you've already filed two complaints. Hold on.

I got a. This is legal. They got you dead to rights. This is bad. This is libel. How did you clip that? I'm glad I didn't shit on their fucking parking lot or whatever. They're doing great, actually.

They're doing really good work. Oh, fuck me hard. Wait, let me see the other one. No one. This is why they make you so hard to complain. But why do they give that as an option? No beef. Because they get the vegan queefs.

So people order a double quarter pound of no pounder? They want the feel of McDonald's, the taste of the bun, the smell, the fries. Well, I got to get the. off my thing because if I go to real order, it's going to send me buns again. I can't hang out with a meatless queef. This is terrible. Wait, this is ruining your whole rep. Oh, I'm a fucking idiot.

Paddyo. I thought maybe they were out of meat and they were like, just set it off. They won't notice. No, no. Now, how do I delete this off of my past orders? I would restart the whole thing. Yeah, order one right now here with the right way, and then you can reorder

that. It's your last order. You don't have to order here. That's not bad. It's not bad. You better view order. How the fuck did I do that? I would copy. Oh, yeah, there it is. No meat. Oh, shit on my tips.

They nailed it. Total was 664. Oh, that's after the thing. I hope you didn't yell at Kumar. No, no yell. I just was mystified. Man. Well, I want an asshole. I'll send you a screenshot of that. I guess I got fat, retarded thumbs.

I guess so. Yeah, you kept exing stuff and you must hit meat. Oh. Well, we get to the bottom of this one. At least we got to the bottom of it. It's not a mystery. We're still a country. I'm so nervous because I'm going to delete fucking... I'm going to reorder.

I'll forget about this. Then I'll hit reorder and go, whoo, here it comes. No, you'll never forget. It's too ashamed. You'll remember. You'll remember. All right, it's not Trump's fault. He's doing great.

I think he's fantastic. Oh, well, you know, Tehran is flame broiled. All right. Wow, that's crazy. I fucked the pooch on that one. Well, I'll tell you a story. way I fucked up if you're ready. I'm ready. Not as bad as that, but...

It wasn't so bad. Well, I used the self-checkout over here at the Stop and Shop, and that self-checkout. I mean, I get too brazen. I'm just like, you know, just putting stuff over the thing when I cover the barco with my hand. It looks real. Sure. Sometimes I'll even go, boop. Like, I make the noise myself.

All right. And so we made jumbalaya. May makes a great jambi, and you got to get sausage, shrimp, you know, big, tomato cans. It's a lot of, a lot of ingredients. She's got big cans all right. Big cans. Cans. And so you get these bags of shrimp, frozen shrimp, and they're not

cheap. They're like 21 bucks a pop. Damn. So, you know, can't get shrimp cheap in this country. So I'm swiping the bags over. I go, boop on one, and then I just pop the other one in, the bag. Sure. And, you know, you get a free

shrimp bag. And the machine goes nuts, like a fucking pinball machine. It's going, do do do do, do, do, peep, beep, beep. Help is on the way. Help is on the way. And I was like, oh, God. They show you on the screen, apparently, there's a camera above you. I didn't know that. There's like the screen's

right there. They let you know, don't they? Well, I didn't know. I was, I didn't know they could see me the whole time. It's like a red light camera. They're just there. I didn't know. Wow. There's a million shots at me going, and they get a thing in the mail like, hey, you're in this light. I'm like, ah, shit. So, the lady comes over and she goes,

oh, what happened here? And I was like, I don't know. I was trying to swipe some bananas. And I guess I couldn't find the bar code. She goes, bananas. You got no bananas. And I was like, I mean, the shrimp, no meat. Uber eats.

Ah, I panicked. And she was like, oh, you didn't swipe a bag of shrimp. What's that about? And I was like, oh, I guess I swiped one. And I just played dumb. And she was like, huh. All right, well, I'm going to swipe the rest of your groceries. And I go, oh, have at it.

A lovely lady. And she swiped it all. And she goes, that's the total. Don't do it again. Wow. Okay, thank you. And I left. See, this is the problem with all this self-serve stuff.

Because I have it at the airport and Hudson Yards or Hudson fucking River, whatever the fuck it's called, Hudson News. It all ends up being with the register lady. I know. As soon as you scale white him, it goes, oh, wait for assistance. So true. Well, just give me the lady to start. Right, right.

It's actually the opposite of a dildo. Hear me out. I feel like with my lady, I'm helping, and then she goes, just let me do it. And then she hits the dildo. She's self-checkout. Right. It's a bad analogy. But with a dildo, with a vibrator, it is self-checkout.

But when I try to do it for her, when I try to check her out, she's like, I'll just do it. bad analogy yeah no no it's it's the opposite something yeah yeah yeah I think it was just a lot I felt like the McDonald's employee I'm like he wants what no

I'm Kumar who's doing yeah but yeah yeah so I got pop she knew it I knew it and she just I think she sees that 900 times a day and she was like

kind of just gave me like a get out of here right no I've had that at the airport too because you get cereal and it's like 14 bucks for the little fucking cylinder of frosted flakes. And you do the same thing,

you go, boop, and you're like, oh, I don't know if this hit it, but you think like, oh, maybe I'll grab an extra one, but I'm just too paranoid about getting caught and I feel like an asshole. Right. And even though the thing on the side, it weighs your shit. So when you put the milk through and then you put it down, it knows the milk is over here. Well, this is where AI is going to get, it's going to be possible to do any kind of crime.

Because it's watching us all. Not looking forward to it. Yeah. I like crime. Well, you got... You got the right neighborhood. Money to buy a bag of shrimp, probably. I paid for the bag of shrimp, but yeah. The amount I've stolen, though, from the grocery store is...

I'm still up. It's like parking tickets. You think about all the times you got away with parking a league. Every once in a while, they get you, and you go, okay, but I parked for free 300 other times. Exactly. Something like that. So, yeah, I'll never do that again, but... I don't know about that.

That's true. But it's all self-checkout now. You go to the grocery. Have you noticed every... aisle is like close, close, close, close, and then all self-checkout is open. Yes. So what are we doing here? And then it's just one person running from register to register.

Yeah, just pooh-boop. And then they hit their card in there. Here's your card. Here's the card. Here's the card. Then you leave. He has your pizza pre-brains. Yeah, you pick a card.

You pick a card. So, yeah, not good, but I got away with it still. That's good. I didn't get arrested. I think it just happens so often over there. It's like they're asking you to steal. Oh, I'm sure it happens constantly. Constantly.

I think the airport even, or some stores actually factor in theft as part of their business. Yeah. Laws prevention. They try to prevent laws. But it's written into the thing. Yeah. Of course. People are going to steal and get away with you.

You can't see all the people all the time. I mean, the difference is most of the people stealing probably don't have enough money to pay for groceries. They're not doing it for fun. Sure. But yeah, it's fun. It is fun to get away with something. It feels exciting. You get that little feeling that you have to shit.

You know, when you're walking away. You're like, oh, my God, I got a shit. What is it about that? You're about to get laid. You steal something. You're waiting in life for a roller coaster. Your body's like, shit everything out. Even like a late night set.

I'm like, oh, I got to take a dump. Maybe it's a fight thing. Like, you want to be fresh and emptied so you can fistfight an enemy. I think so. And that's what you want in your sex life. You're married sex life. You're like, we've got to come up with something that makes me have to shit. Ooh, well, not good for the gays.

Let's go. You're in the back door. And now you've got a shit. You're getting a real poop dick. Can I use that? Take it. Because it's like, it is. You're like, what if you put on the heels from the Today Show and shove it in my ass?

And if she's like, yeah, right before I did it, I'd be like, ooh, I got nervous shit energy. Yeah. Now you turned on. Exactly. Yes. I'm like, put on a Rupert mask so I can get hard. Oh, yeah. A big mask.

Yeah. So what else you got? I got to put an end to this long saga. Uh-oh, vinegar? Saga Genesis. Uh-huh. No, but my car. Oh, yeah, with the car.

With the check engine. It's been up in Massachusetts. This whole time? It's been there for three months. I haven't had my car since January. Wow. Well, I told you, because my parents won't drive down here. They're afraid to drive in the city.

Sure. I don't know. I think we know why. So, finally, I'm like, I'm in Poughkeepsie this weekend. I had a gig in somewhere. I had to rent a car. I'm like renting cars left and right. Not to mention because of this shit fucking horrible city,

my parking garage is $9,785 a minute. You got that right. And I haven't had a car in there for three months. I'm just paying for a parking spot. Oh, the raping. $1,200 to have a parking spot with no car in it. God damn. You need some meat.

It's fucking ridiculous. Yeah. Meet and greet. So finally I go, hey, I'm in Poughkeepsie. I'm not renting a car again. I'm not taking the bus. What am I an asshole? So I go, we got to meet.

And they go, okay, what if we take? The train halfway. They'll get to drive the car halfway. I'll take the train. Okay. And we switch your room. They get on the train and I get the car. And they go back up?

They go back up. Wow. So we're going to see each other for an hour. So I go, I'll bring the baby because that's a fun boys' day, a fun adventure. With you and dad and mom. Well, we're going to meet them, yeah. Okay, sorry. So, yeah, you and your same clothes, me and my different clothes.

So I go, all right, I'll drive, I'll take the train, I get the Amtrak from New York, Penn Station, Moynihan Hall to Old Saybrook. It's about halfway. It's where Catherine Hepburn lived. Is that Connecticut? Beautiful town. Yeah. Old Saybrook, Connecticut. And they have a pizza place in the train station.

Pizza works. Highly recommend if you ever there. Love it. Great pizza. They got model trains going around. Oh, the kid heaven. Pizza, beer, bar, the whole thing. And it's right there.

It's in the station. Yeah. It's a great spot. I've been going there for years. So I go, okay, great. So I get the baby. We jump in a lift. He's so excited.

He's talking about this. It's one of those things where you're like, on Tuesday, I'm like, Sunday, we're going to get on the Amtrak. And he's like, that Amtrak, holy shit. He goes, that's the M track. Oh, I love this. So I go, we're going to take the train. So then every day, he's like, we're taking the train. Today's the day.

We're taking the subway. A little Nazi. So I go, not till Sunday, you son of an onion. So we get up and you, you know, you pack his little backpack. I pack my little gay backpack. It's a beautiful thing. So we hop in a lift because I'm like, it's Sunday service, the subway, and it's fucking 12 degrees outside. We take a lift.

It's exciting. car, every car. Look at this car. Look at that truck. This is crazy. This is a cool car. It's like a Honda Civic. He's like, this is an amazing car. It's so positive. He's like, look at that guy's hat. It's crazy. I'm like, that's a towel, whatever it is.

It's like hanging up with an Amish guy. He's just like, look at the lights. Look at the screen. Look at the buttons. So he's very excited and everything's exciting. We get dropped off at Penn Station. And everything, he's like, look at it. I'm showing a Madison Square Garden. I'm like, that's where the basketball happens.

He's like, let's go watch basketball. I'm like, not right now. It's 10 a.m. Yeah. So we get in, we take the Amtrak. Now, I didn't know this. So, you know, boarding an Amtrak, for the people that don't take trains in fucking New York City, it's horrible. It's horrible.

There's a new train station, Moynihan Hall, which is beautiful. Very lovely. Nice improvement. But this is what happens. There's a big board, and it says New Haven, Washington, New York, Dildo, suck my dick, blow me, Rupert, fat. And it just goes, you sit there. You don't know what train you're on. You know a chain you around, but you don't know where to get it.

And it just goes, there's 500 people. They go, now boarding at track 11. Boston. And everyone goes, ah! And fucking throws their shit and goes running down. Crazy system. It's insane. So, but then somehow people like, I don't know if they're on Reddit or if they have a six

cents. People know. They start figuring it out. So you're like, on the lookout, I have a two-year-old just wants to run and touch everything. So I'm holding him. I got a backpack. I'm like, I got to figure this out.

Because I got a baby. I need to have him next to me. Of course. It's two seats. So I find a group lined up and I go, are you guys Boston? They go, yeah, yeah, we're, you look for like Red Sox hats and shit and just, you know, blonde eyelashes. Right, right, alcoholic.

So I find the line and I figured out this is Boston. So I'm like, okay, let me go to the back of the line. Now I have a two-year-old in my hand. You want to go, can we just jump in here because I got a baby. Of course, like a flight. I'm holding a 35-pound baby, and I got to make sure we have two seats. So you go, I'll find the back of the line. But now everyone's realizing this is the line.

So the line is getting longer as I move towards the back of the line. And it's like a couple hundred people. So you're like, boy, this is going to suck. Because everyone just starts grabbing single seats. And they put their bag down. It's a mess. So you're like, all right, all right. My child's watching it.

I got to play by the rules. Okay. So I get to the very back of the line. And there's literally 200 people. And I'm like, okay, well, this is going to take a long time to board. I'm going to be holding him for a while. And then I got to figure out how to get two seats. together. All because your fucking parents won't

come into the city. You got that's great. Not to mention, this is not cheap. Two tickets on Amtrak. It was like $270 one way. We gotta pay for the kid? Yeah, he's over two. Two to 12 or something is a different, whatever. Good to know. So, and then my mother's like, you can pretend he's under two.

I'm like, it'd be a fucking gigantic kid to save money, but you know, different structures for different folks. I would do it. So I go all right, here we go. This is. is going to suck, but the license movement you try to be patient, so your son will be patient and cool and relax. Amtrak guy comes over.

Big black guy with a yellow vest. You got a kid? That's your kid? Yes? Come with me. Oh, I love it. I should have had a kid 35 years ago. We walk right to the front of the line, fucking velvet rope, opens it, and goes, go ahead.

We're the first one's on, baby. I'm talking. At the end of the Nazis go, we got 600 people on the train. There's 600 people. I'm the first one on there, baby. Salute that guy. The baby, I say thank you. And there's much other people with kids.

And one of the kids was like 10. I'm like, I guess. So anyways, I go down there with the first ones on the train. I mean, there's people on the train because it came from D.C. But like, most people get off in New York, we're the first one. So I go down there, walk right on. The car's got like three people sleeping on it. I jump in.

I sit in one seat. I'm like, no, that's not it. I go to this seat. I plop him in his seat. He's looking out the window. I put that seat back before the person behind me gets there. So that's just where the seat is. Train dreams.

Move his seat back. Move my seat back. I feel like a million bucks. Train takes off. He's screaming. We're moving. There's another train. Look at this person.

We're going to see Grandma. Oh, he's going to do-choo! The whole thing. Oh, geez. I'm getting misty. They come in to take the ticket. He goes, I love you, daddy. I love taking the train.

We're high-fiving. He's shitting his pants. He's farting. I'm crying. We're screaming. Lady comes up to take the ticket. Big old black lady goes, just so y'all know, this is the quiet car. I look up.

The quiet car size, I didn't see it. With all the excitement, I just jumped on the first train. You got the wrong car. I'm all pumped. Now, 558 people have gotten on. That mask's not right. 598 people have got on. Every seat's taken.

We're just assholes. I have a two and a half year old in the quiet car. You got a chloroform that kid. He's the loudest kid on earth. Everybody's in suits and sleeping and napping with eye masks on. and I'm like this, and I'm looking around, everyone's like, just staring at me. It's like that scene in, you know, Schindler's list. Saving Private Ryan or something after they die, whatever, when everyone's mad at you,

and you're like, guys, come on. He's like, he's a kid. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't know. It's like, I got no meat on a burger. So once in a lifetime opportunity, it's a sold-out Sunday pack train. I am literally the first one on, choice of any seat.

Yeah. And I picked the quiet car. That is bananas. It's worse than the burger meat. I'm a big fuck-up. Yeah, well, with the kid around, you got no eyes. You just focused on him, so you're not going to see that little blackard on the ceiling. It should be a different color.

It should be, you know, big blinky signs. There should be a horn going off in the quiet car. Ironically. So I go, oh, fuck. All right, well, hopefully. So what do you do, one of these? Hey, shut up, kid. Well, I try to kind of whisper.

And he's quiet because he's mesmerized. Okay. And he's not a, he's like very rarely causes any. He's very sweet and quiet. So it was mostly okay. And then when he would start kind of getting too chatty, he would just go to the cafe car. But the other thing is, people go to the cafe car to start.

They just go there. That's true. Which it should be like Starbucks. You have to order your drink, get your drink, and then go. Like, we should have to all be moving before you go to the cafe car. Right, right. People go straight there. Then I'll wrap up with this.

The lady, the conductor comes by, and because I told her, I was like, I didn't realize, now everything's packed. And she's like, it's very cool. She's like, yeah, get it. It's great. She goes, but there's room on the cafe car. And I went, well, we went by there. There's no, no, I made a space. Come here.

So I walked back in there, and it's all full. So I'm like, huh, maybe someone must have taken it. She goes, sir, right here. And it's a booth. And there's a guy on one side. She's given us one half of a booth. And there's a guy with a Celtics hoodie and a laptop like this with AirPods. He's working.

Yeah. So she's like, yeah. This seat. And the table's this wide. So I'm like, oh, okay. So he's right here working. And I'm like, all right, sunny boy. And he's like, oh, my God, a train.

This is great. He's taking his own shit and smeared on the window. And I'm like, I'm sorry, sir. I don't know. So I had to share a booth with a guy. But it ended up all as well. That ends well. It was fantastic.

Got the car. And then it was great because then we get to drive home. And, you know, it's father's son drive home. We had the train. We're chatting, listening to music. It was the best day of my whole life. Literally. That's great.

Wow, man. What a son. What a dad. I love being a dad. It's a very fun talk. Can't wait to hug my little fucker. But anyways, we got to wrap this up. This is fun.

We started off weird. It got fun. I'm an asshole. I liked it. I liked it. By the way, we should have a quiet car implemented in more parts of life. It shouldn't just be on a train. You know, give me the movies, a restaurant.

Keep it going. Yeah, it's a good point. Quiet bar. Quiet everything. Well, you got quiet mode on Uber now or whatever. I like that. I like that. It's pretty good.

Keep it coming. Quiet elevator, everything. Yeah. It should be an option. Absolutely. Okay, just a thought. But yeah, well, where are you going to be there, Dickless? I don't even know.
