Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a headgum podcast. This is a headgum podcast. This is still part of the maximum pleasure, guaranteed. What a push. Well, the team came together pretty strong. Yeah. We're here with the great Charlie Hall. Charlie, you're great in the show.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Thank you. Yeah, you guys at the office had such a fun dynamic. It is a lot of fun. I mean, it's pretty easy when you're working with those folks. Yeah, I felt the same way on this job. But the way we all did this show is none of us were on the same show? Correct. Yes.
Starting point is 00:01:07 I don't know who you are. So you and I didn't work together, Murray and I didn't work together. I worked with Tatiana and Jesse on a relationship show, and then you guys made other shows. now I'm seeing your guys' shows. Yep. And by the way, I love your show. I love your show, too, man.
Starting point is 00:01:24 I love Murray's show, too. I love Barry's show. It has nothing to do with my show, but it was cool. It's so funny. By the way, you're of the other shows. Because we did that press day in L.A., like, we got to know each other, but there's, like, I've never even met Murray.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I don't think Murray's real. I'll be honest. I think he's AI. I've always said that. I believe in B.A.I. We all went to Austin to do the ATX, Charlie, and you guys were missed. But the group is a really fun social group because, first of all, we didn't all work together. So there's not a lot of history.
Starting point is 00:02:03 There's not like, we're not like weird versions of cousins. And it's all different types. I was like when we all went to Barton Springs, some natural Springs water thing, we all just. jumped in in the morning. And I was sitting around looking around. I was like, this is a wild group, but I love it. Me, Murray, and Jesse did a swim race. And it started off so casual, we all got so competitive. And I was like, Murray's killing us. By the way, Jake, translation. Yeah. You got super competitive early. Close, Gareth. No. Jesse Hodges did. Okay. All right. Charlie, tell us about what you do on maximum pleasure guaranteed. I also know
Starting point is 00:02:47 You're in White Lotus with the deer Max Greenfield. Yes, who loves you, by the way? I love him too. I'm seeing him for lunch today. Oh, no way. So what's going on? How's everything? Tell him, congrats on his New York Knicks.
Starting point is 00:02:59 That's exciting. That's exciting. By the way, Gareth, Charlie played college basketball. Ah, that's awesome. Good for you. This is true. I wrote the bench, but. Still, to be there.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Who cares? To be there. You're in the showers. That's what Jake and I always want to do. That's not. I was honored to be. Charlie, answer Jake's earlier question. By the way, that wasn't.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Don't speak for us, Garrett. That's weird stuff. I'm going to mute for a little bit, but have a good intro, boys. All right, Charlie. So what do you do? I'm going to tell us about the show, and then also about White Lotus. Yeah, I, so I play Rudy in the wonderful show, maximum pleasure guaranteed. I'm an office mate, co-worker friend of Tatiana's character, Paula, along with
Starting point is 00:03:42 Keira, Havgonne Goldberg's character. She's great too, by the way. She's awesome. And also legitimately the nicest person in the entire world. So you guys just had a blast together. Oh, it was so much fun. And yeah, it was great. And also a lot of our stuff is, you know, we get the funny stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:01 So it was easy. Yeah. But yeah, and we aid Paula in the unraveling of this crazy, kooky mystery with this webcam boy. And it's tons of fun. And then what's going on with White Lotus? How was that? So much fun. It's ridiculous to be.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I mean, it's just insane. We're shooting in, I'm in New York right now. I just got back, but I'm going to go back in a week or so, a week plus. But we've been in France having the best time ever in that whole cast, including your buddy Max, is just like incredible. Everyone is so nice. And it's a total trip. Because, you know, you stay at the hotel that you shoot at, and it's very, it's, it's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's ridiculous. So it's so, so much fun. Very, very grateful to be, to be doing that one. And I think this season, I think people are really going to like this season. It's pretty fucking awesome. Charlie, what was your way into the game? What was the first big gig? What was the jump?
Starting point is 00:05:07 Because you're having a big moment now, my man. Thank you. What was my way in? I made a web series. So I was, I played basketball in a lot growing up and I loved basketball and I kind of was set on playing basketball professionally. Not in the NBA, but like, you know, overseas or something. And then I had.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Even in high school, that was, you were like, I'm probably not going to make the pros, but I'm happy to go to Russia. I think in high school, I probably was like, maybe I'll make the pros. And then I got to college and I was like, oh, everyone here is better than me. And then it was, you know, yeah, hopefully I can play in, you know, the D-League in Russia. How good were you senior year of high school? I mean, I wasn't that good.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I mean, I was good. I was good enough to be recruited for colleges. But there's, I mean, there is real true levels to this. Like, it's not like I was a player that anyone knew about in any real fashion. But I was good for a solid. would like probably, I wonder what I average my senior year. I was probably like 20 and 28, maybe, 20 and 8, give or take. Good Lord.
Starting point is 00:06:19 So you see 18 and 8 maybe? Yeah. But then, you know, but then I'd go up against like, you know, Lonzo Ball or something from Chino Hills and he would like have like 80 points in five minutes. And I'd be like, all right. I think it's, you know, I'm going to go play. You're like, that guy's good.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah. I feel, whoa. He's very, really tall. Yeah. That guy's really tall and really fast and then does that weird thing where he never misses whenever he shoots. So that feels like it's a good combo of stuff. But yeah. So around my...
Starting point is 00:06:50 You should play basketball more. You should pursue this. I think I might get into acting, but you should pursue this. I told all three ball brothers, you guys should take this seriously. You told the dad, you should get in the shoe game, brother. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I... So yeah, I play basketball, but I was wanting to maybe play overseas.
Starting point is 00:07:14 And then I had back surgery, my, saw at the end of my sophomore year. And so I was like, okay, maybe there's a world where this isn't plausible for me anymore. I got to do some other stuff. And I always liked comedy. And so I was kind of starting to write like sports comedy and doing random stuff. And then I wrote this little YouTube web series with my buddy, Jack Price. And we really because we didn't want to pay anyone to be. in it. I was just like, I'll do it. I'll be the guy and the thing. And we taught, so I did it. And I loved
Starting point is 00:07:45 the experience of that. And then we tossed it on YouTube and it was lucky enough to get some traction. And that's kind of how I got representation and went out on my first couple auditions from that. Yeah. And that was pretty late. And that was early 20s. Yeah, that was probably, yeah, 21 or so. Well, that's nice to know as a father of 12 year olds. They could start at 21 and work. They could start at 21 and work. Or they can be in the NBA. Let's take this call.

And then I'll find a hotel that's in between. the places. I'll go to booking.com. I'll find a place that is kind of equidistant and I get a couple nights in the same hotel.

Hi, how are you? Um, I'm worried. How are you?
Starting point is 00:13:02 Great. Thanks. Can we get your name, please? Uh, yeah, I'm going to go with Jude. Going to go with Jude? Jude, where are you calling from, potentially? Uh, I am calling from Toronto in good old Canada. Okay. And Jude, we got a good one for you because you're on for the maximum pleasure guaranteed calls, and we have the great Charlie Hall who is joining us on this one.
Starting point is 00:13:29 So we're in a good spot, Jude. Okay. Charlie, me, Jude, it's not a real name, but I don't know. Jude, it's amazing. to meet you. It's absolutely fantastic. Would you give Charlie your real name, Jude, or you're still going to, it doesn't matter. I'm going to, yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:44 All right. So I am calling in because I am somebody who is chronically late. I am never on time for anything, really. It's like anything, appointments, social commitments, jobs. I just can't get a handle on it. And I know a lot of people say, oh, you know, you can't be on time. It must be because you don't care. But I care a whole lot and I try really hard. But somehow something always stops me from being on time.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I often sleep through my alarms, things like that. But even when I don't, something always gets in the way. So I wanted your guys with help because I've already tried a lot of the obvious solutions. For one, I've tried bed shaker alarms, light alarms. I've tried having like... Bed shaker alarms? Thank you for asking. What's this technology?
Starting point is 00:14:33 It's like a little, basically a little vibrating device that you put under your mattress and then it vibrates your bed. I don't think that's too. I don't think that's to wake you up, Jude. Yeah. It's ought to be an old person named Vincent here. That's a different device, kiddo. That's the Mormon soaking vibrator, I believe, Jude. The Mormon soaking.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I'm passing judgment already, but keep going, Jude. Fair enough. But I've tried a lot of the obvious solutions. I've tried setting alarms 15, five minutes before I leave the house, you know. And I've also, I feel like I am more likely to stick to a solution if it makes me last. So I thought that you guys might be able to help me because I'm kind of a loss here. And I'm moving into a more like professional time in my life. And I really need to get a handle.
Starting point is 00:15:25 You got to get on time. Jude, how old are you? I am 23. 23. So you're still a kid. Charlie, first thoughts on this when you're taking this all in. Where's your head at? Well, I've got a couple questions, Jude.
Starting point is 00:15:38 So when it's not sleeping through the alarm, what are, like, just a few other obstacles for getting out of the house on top? Like, is it like you're taking, you're taking a while to get ready? You're getting, like, you're scrolling on your phone. What are we doing? Usually it's just that there is something that just takes, longer than I expected to. I don't have a great grasp usually on how long tasks actually take
Starting point is 00:16:07 so things end up taking longer than I expect them to or I'll be ready to leave the house and all of a sudden it's like I can't find my keys. I can't find this important thing. I can't find my transit card, whatever it is. It's usually something pops up. I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:16:24 get a little harsh for a little bit here please and the Tom Coughliner Jake. The audience isn't going to be happy with us but we just got to get to the center of this. So, Jude, when you say you care a lot, but you're always late, what level of bullshit is that?
Starting point is 00:16:40 It does make me really anxious to be late, especially if it's something important, like an appointment, or, I mean, I don't know, like a friend, I haven't seen it a long time. So it does make me really anxious. Well, I've got to tell you, lateness drives me fucking crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:54 When you're late or when somebody else at both? And fury. It is. If someone's like, hey, let's meet a 10. and you're like scrambling to get parking, you get there, you're like, shit, it's 10.02, I got here. And then it 1015 to get a text saying like, on my way, you're like, that's what I hate.
Starting point is 00:17:11 I hate the text when it's like, I'm already here. I came at the time we discussed. Yeah. We pre-arranged. Are you, shoot, are you? And I guess this is neither here nor there. But I think it's important context. When you're late and you finally show up, are you very apologetic about, like,
Starting point is 00:17:30 Like, are you repenting kind of, like, immediately? Yes. I definitely am showing up being, like, I am so sorry. It doesn't help that, like, the transit in my city tends to be not super reliable. So, like, often it's things like that, too. Yeah. But I do always show up, like, I'm so sorry. This is going to be an...
Starting point is 00:17:53 No, I can't get in... I can't go down this road. I don't care about the sorrows. And I'm going to tell you why, Charlie. Yeah. I just watched Love is Blind Poland. I don't know if you guys like that franchise in other countries, but I refuse to watch them here in the States.
Starting point is 00:18:09 But the idea of watching a dating show where they can't see each other in other countries is as entertaining as it gets. Yep. I just started Love is Blind Japan. The hosts are out of control. They're way too many jokes and everybody's nervous. And I'm like, culturally, we are really different. But that's not what this is about.
Starting point is 00:18:27 It might be cross-hating. Go ahead. By the way, it is, Love is Blind in other countries is fascinating. Yeah, it sounds like it would be. I buy it. I highly recommend going down the road. We just got her to agree to watch maximum pleasure guaranteed.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I know, but I'm streaming on Apple right now. She's going to sue the entire. If they watch Love is Blind Poland. Yeah, but now fortunately. So you try to watch Love is Blind in the States. You watch a couple. You go, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. It's like, we're from Ohio.
Starting point is 00:18:53 I'm like, put a bullet in my head. I hate this. You got a couple of kids from Warsaw. Mm-hmm. And then when they're... All of a sudden, you can't look away. Charlie, and then when they go, now it's something to visit the families,
Starting point is 00:19:07 and it's a group of people sitting outdoors. I'm like, this is how you... In what world is this? Incredible. Incredible television. But one of the things one of the women says in it is, she's like, no more words, I need action.
Starting point is 00:19:28 And so this, I'm late, but I'm apologetic, couldn't care less. If somebody's late all the time and they go like, oh my God, I'm so sorry. It's like, then fucking get here 30 minutes early. Yep. Tom Coughlin, he would tell everyone five minutes earlier you're late. I mean, that was just the way. So, Jude, here's what I would say. Sorry for your tone.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I am old enough to be your dad and I am being too harsh on you. I have to remember your 23. That tone made me sad. I knew exactly how you were going to react to this, Jake. I'm not surprised. Do you want me to pull back? You want to hear Charlie and Gareth first? I mean, I'm open to whatever I understand the harsh.
Starting point is 00:20:16 We know where I'm going to go. Let's see if Charlie and Gareth have a sweeter. Maybe we can get a little bit more with sugar right now. I'm still, Gareth, you go, because I'm still formulate. I've got things brewing. I am, I guess I'm Jake with a little bit of water. I hear what you're saying, and I know people like you, but this is your situation.
Starting point is 00:20:44 You have to manage it. We have these agreed clocks that we all live by. And maybe it doesn't feel selfish to you because you have excuses for yourself, but it reads as selfish. So you've got to find a way to just break through that. So I'm just going to give you a couple of pitches here real quick before we unleash the Hulk on you. You know who Gareth is, Charlie?
Starting point is 00:21:11 Vinny Johnson, the microwave. He's just a shooter. He heats up fast. Love it. Absolutely love it. But some games I am ice cold. But this is what I'm going to say. First thing you're going to do is you're going to set out all the things you need for the morning the night before.
Starting point is 00:21:25 You're going to put them all on the counter. You're going to put your keys where you see them. I do this like if I have to get up early in a hotel, if I have a 6 a.m. flight and I like do morning me a favor. I set out all the things I need. They're right there. So you're going to put your keys, whatever like your thermos, whatever the fuck you have in Toronto that you drink out of. I believe it is thermos legally. You're going to set all those things out on your counter. You're going to have them there. Your clothes. You're going to do what, you know, mom used to do for us when you were a kid. You're going to set out your clothes for the morning. You're going to have that there. My mother didn't do that. Stop. You're going to set your alarm for an hour earlier. and I know that seems extreme, but you need it,
Starting point is 00:21:59 and if you could start moving it more to like 40 minutes earlier, that's fine. And then at the end of this call, Jake Charlie and I are going to create an audio file for you where we're going to yell at you and guilt you for 30 seconds. And as soon as you get up and you want to hit the snooze, instead of doing that, you're going to press play on this audio file, and you're going to listen to three reasonable, rational people who have agreed on times, and you're going to see how it feels and we're going to guilt you out of bed. So the main pitch on that that I got, Gareth,
Starting point is 00:22:26 which I really loved was you have to, Jude, if you do this, the night before, and I'm talking about every single thing you do for a while. You have to lay out your plans as if you're your own mommy and you're a baby. Okay. Charlie, what are you thinking? I love everything that's been said. And if you have a, here's what I would do. Although I guess this only works for social, this doesn't really work, professionally.
Starting point is 00:22:59 But if you really wanted to get a little crazy with it, and you really, you don't want to be laid ever again. If I were you, I would, in a moment of bravery, I would tell a close friend of yours. Lie to me.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Three to five thing, three to five really true, deep, dark secrets. Oh, my God. Okay, like something that, something that you trust them with,
Starting point is 00:23:24 but that you don't want anyone else to know. And it's as simple as you give them the permission. Anytime you are late to a social something, they are going to tell someone one of those secrets. And yeah, I got a news for you. You won't be late. By the way, I agree with this. And I can also, I agree with this.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I think you have to build in, build in a moment of like being brave, you have to build in some sort of shame thing, like, system so that it's no there's no longer an option like it's like it's either be on time or everyone knows about that thing you did that one time can i heighten this just as a show producer right now let me take my host hat off go jude if this is something you're interested in doing that i'm going to need you to tell us your real name which we will beep out in the moment and tell us some real things about you which we will beep out in the moment but the audience will hear us react to them
Starting point is 00:24:26 then you're going to have to follow up with us in an integrity code. And if you are late, we are going to reveal on air and follow-ups one of the things at a time. And you're going to be honest, because if you're late and a liar at 23, what's your future here, kid? Pick one. You can't be both. Yeah. Yeah. I know the trains might not run on time in Toronto, but imagine the stuff that we're going to unleash.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Pick one. And so this would then be right now, if you agree, you say your name, the audience hears, beep, then you go three things that you don't want the world to know. And you know, Jude, we've got audience members in Thailand. We got a guy in Greenland. Somebody in Greenland will go like this. Whoa, that's a big secret. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:23 It's embarrassing for you. We do that a lot here. Have you watched Love is Blind Greenland? By the way, I would watch that. Literally, I would stop this podcast to watch that if they had that. Terrible reveal. And then here's, so I think Charlie's is the best personally, but here's mine, but I do think Charlie's is better.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Jude, and I'm going to try to say this nice, what I would do is punish yourself over punishing everybody in your life. You have to get everywhere. say what time is your job start? I'm currently unemployed. That makes sense. So, but when you have to get somewhere, what time, like, let's say they, you have like a, you're late for something.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Let's say it's 815, right? Your friend goes like, let's meet at the bar at 815. On your phone, you put 745. That's good, too. I was thinking that too. You have to be 30 minutes before everybody else and sit there until they get there, because that's what everybody feels. You're there, you're ready to socialize, and you're just waiting and waiting.
Starting point is 00:26:31 And you go, oh, this is what it feels like. And then when they pop in, they go, oh, how long have you been here? You go, don't worry about it. And they go, I'm sorry, I was like two minutes late. And you have to do, don't worry about it. And they go, the trains are so slow. And you have to hear the excuses. But you're like, my butt's a little tingly from sitting.
Starting point is 00:26:50 And you'll see you like people less when they're late. the interactions are fine, but you go like, I just like you less. Well, the thing is that all the things we're saying, the Jake and I pitches are to get you ahead of the Charlie pitch. So we're giving you techniques to not have the Charlie pitch. You don't want the Charlie pitch because we're going to unleash your weirdo secrets. We're going to find them out. Or we might not. Or we might not.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Or we might not. If you start to employ the tactics that we've laid out, it could work. You know what else you could do? You know what else you could do that this is kind of piggybacking off of what Jake just said is you could text all your friends like in a big group chat and just be like, hey, guys, I'm trying to be on time. I'm trying to be on time. Any plan you invite me to, please tell me it's 30 minutes.
Starting point is 00:27:42 So that because the thing about like, you know, you have dinner. If you have dinner at 815 and you put in your calendar, it's at 745, the thing is that deep down, you know it's at 815. but if you never even are privy to what time things actually are and you're being told that there it's then killing this charlie so i would also do i would also implore you to everyone in your life family friends can i put on a produce can i put on a producer hat please what i would like to do if that's possible is send a text to everybody on your phone right now we could pen one together and you just send it to all your all your contacts go ahead and
Starting point is 00:28:20 If we are going to do that, I want also on there, they have to eat, one of them has to email the show, one of these contacts. We could have a person, our point person. Yeah, who tells us if Jude drops the ball. Yeah, big brother, big sister. Because we don't want. We don't want, well, I don't know all of them rant on each other. You're getting excited. I agree. I agree. But let's have a point person in Jude's life that reaches out to us. If Jude blows it, if Jude's late, then we, unfurl a secret. This is right. Hey, Jude, let's hear you talk for a little bit. Where are you at? So, a lot of good pitches. My biggest issue is that honestly, I'm not really a person with a lot of secrets. So I'm like kind of racking my brain, and I don't know that there's a lot that I have going on that I wouldn't want people to know. All right, here's the deal, Jude, we're going to bleep out that part. We're not going to use it, and we're going to make up some shit. No, we're not, Gareth. Okay. See you later. What world do you live in, Gareth?
Starting point is 00:29:21 We've done 300 of these. That's the word. We're going to have fake stuff. Guys, we're not doing a gag fest. It's got to be real or we're not doing it. By the way, that's sick that you don't have that many secrets. It's not real. It's not real.
Starting point is 00:29:37 You do something. At 23 years old, she's got some secrets. Yeah, she pees in the shower. There's something. No, that's not. I'm not secret about that. Do you pee in the shower? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:47 But Jude, hold on. We're not quite down there. That's not what this is. So Jude... That's not what this is. I'm like, look, we're all pissing the shower. Jude has real secrets. And if we're going to do this,
Starting point is 00:30:00 then we're going to change somebody for being late. We've got to get real now. Because I don't think you're getting real. This whole thing, my issue with this call is we're not getting real. I'm late, but I care a lot. But I don't know why I'm late. But I'm late to everything. But I do care.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I have anxiety about it. But I'm late. I have no secrets. What the fuck you talking about? You're 23 years old. You have no secrets? You've got to vibrate in bed for God's sake. At 23 years old, I had one time.
Starting point is 00:30:25 That's exactly right. She's got a vibrator in her bed, but we have no secrets. She thinks that's normal. It might just be where your goalpost live. Yeah. So, Jude, now you tell us a little bit. We've given you some pitches. Where are you at?
Starting point is 00:30:36 What do you think you're going to do? And then we could pitch on that. Because I think that the secrets things do work. I think the telling everybody in your life to lie to you, because you don't have a job. We don't have to go to bosses. Yeah. But we need to mess with your sense of time or you mess with it yourself and you get some places so early that you're sitting on your fucking ass.
Starting point is 00:30:58 Yeah, I definitely think that Carly's like note about asking other people to lie to me about time. I do think that that is really helpful because I do find that like I will try to tell myself that things are earlier. But in the back of my head, I know what time they actually are. And so it makes it makes it hard. And I think that's definitely a good idea. I think that I think that people in my life are very used to my tendencies, and I think that they would be willing to do that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:31 So we can definitely do that. That's really nice. I love that. Really fast now, and I don't want any bullshit. We got to get real now. Everything's going to get beeped out. What is your real name, first and last? My first and last?
Starting point is 00:31:45 Yeah, we have your email, so we do know. but what is your real name? It's... Okay, and obviously, Jesse, beep this out, and where are you from? Okay, and where did you go to college? Great, where did you go to high school? Okay, Jesse, you got to beep all this out,
Starting point is 00:32:11 and who was your first love interest, your first partner? I'm still with my first girlfriend. When did you guys first get together? When we were 16. You've been together since you were 16. Very cool. Have you ever... Have you ever...
Starting point is 00:32:26 stepped outside of the relationship? No. Who's your biggest crush that your girlfriend doesn't know about? Oh, that would have to be, you... This is going to get deeped out. Yeah, it was... And what's her name? What's her last name?
Starting point is 00:32:58 And how close did you ever get to cross in a line? Not close. She never knew. Okay, but how serious were you? And if she started going towards you a little bit, what would you have done? I think that's fair. Yeah, that makes sense. What's one thing, if you're really honest and we will for sure beep this out, I promise you that?
Starting point is 00:33:30 What's one thing you really don't like about your partner? I do. I promise you we'll beep this out. On my honor. I think the only thing that I don't like is... Right, that sucks. You think you and her are in it for the long haul? I think so.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Do we need anything else, Charlie? Do we need anything else, Gareth? I mean, the only thing there that if we wanted to push the accountability is that if she doesn't step up, we reach out to... So now, Jude, we've got some stuff. By the way, can we just take our hat off? I believe this is how Scientology works. I was about to say this is unbelievable. But I think this is how Scientology works.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Your girlfriend's a suppressive person. I believe they do this. And then when you're like, man, I just really told a lot, they're now like, now you got to clean the boat. But I don't know. You signed a billion-year deal to go on a boat. Yeah. Now we'll see you in our Malibu complex every week for the next 20 years.
Starting point is 00:34:43 So Jude, just to now get into it, you have my word. All of that is going to get beeped. out. So now you know, Jude, you are in a safe place with us. We will never sell you out for the show, but now we got to talk about accountability. Okay. So how do we, who can we be in touch with in your life that we could reach out to to know who could check on you? Or are you an honest person? How do we do this? I think that I'm a pretty honest person, but I could also probably be my girlfriend, although I could see her maybe lying for me.
Starting point is 00:35:29 So by the way, you saying that tells me romantic and you're an honest person. I think we could trust you on this. And I think we could do a thing where for each time you're late, we release a time. bit of information. Okay. So maybe even first half of the first name on the first, because look, you're not going to be perfect. You could have four or five scrubs.
Starting point is 00:36:01 I'm not looking for perfection. 23-year-old kid. Let's get this figured out by 25. I mean, he's right in the sense that if you really want to change, there is a plan. There's now a plan. But it's up to you. We could also go to Charlie's idea,
Starting point is 00:36:17 I really loved. So now Jude, go to you, you take over, you talk. What do you want us to do? We have now some real options. Yeah, I feel like, I feel like the idea of like releasing a little bit of information. I feel like that's a good idea. I think that the also like reaching out to people in my life and like asking them to to lie to me about the time. I think that's also a good idea. I feel like some combination of those two could help me. Yeah. Let's put together a big group text, maybe just what do we think, the closest five people in your life? How many friends do you have that you see regularly?
Starting point is 00:36:57 I have like a group of like three that I see often, and then I have a group of like six that I see often. So I've kind of like two different groups. Let's send one to each group. Yep. Same text. Charlie, you want to start the text? You want to just say it out loud. Jude, you want to start writing it, tell us when you're ready.
Starting point is 00:37:18 And then we can do a couple passes on this. Then we're going to send it on this. And as a backup, just know, we always have these secrets, no. All right. And you're going to follow up with this, Jude. We are a little harsh. We do care. We're going to fix this.
Starting point is 00:37:32 You're 23. You're very young. This is the time to do this, but this can't be something you do in your late 20s. It'll fuck you up in life. Yeah, I want this to be a habit. We will. But it's going to take some time. It's going to be some screw-ups, but we're going to fix this.
Starting point is 00:37:48 So, Charlie, when you're ready? Yeah, I'm thinking something like this. I'm thinking like, hey, blank, you know, whoever the people are, I'm turning a new leaf, period. I like this. It's time for me to never be late again, period. But for me to do that, I'm going to do that. I'm going to need your help.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Colon. Any time you invite me anywhere from this point on, please give me a fake time that is 30 to 45 minutes earlier than the actual start of. No, take away the 30 to 45 trial and say you pick. Love. But always different. Yep. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. So that Jude can't figure it out.
Starting point is 00:38:48 In fact, in fact, in fact, you should say, in fact, comma, in fact, comma, sprinkle in the real time occasionally. Yes. So that I'm lost, baby. Keep me on my toes so that I start showing up on time, period. I'm so sorry for all the times I've been late, but it ends today. my uncles, Charlie, Gareth, and Jake are on my ass. We will get this fixed. Did you guys know I had a vibrating bed?
Starting point is 00:39:26 But that's another thing. You'll get a text about that in two months. What do you think of that as a text, Jude? I think that's good. I didn't get all of it, but I got most of it. Okay, so take a second, write your text, and then we're going to have to wrap up, but then we're going to have you read it back to us, and then you've got to pay the toll, and the toll is send us a screen grab of when you've sent us to your people,
Starting point is 00:39:53 and then we would love to see some responses, and we'll post those, if that's okay. We'll knock off everybody's name, though. We could even for the paying the bill, we could even have one of her friends join us, and we will reveal the secret to, she could reveal a secret to a friend if we wanted. That's true. That's if she's late. If she's late. But she won't because she has no fucking clue when anything is.
Starting point is 00:40:16 She's living in the Bermuda Triang. Clocks are spinning like compasses. But it's going to hopefully get so crazy for her that she's like, just please tell me the real time. I swear to God, I've earned this. Someone's going to tell her Monday. It's that a Tuesday. All right.
Starting point is 00:40:32 So whenever you're ready, Jude, let us know what you got. And then at the end, hit send. And then we're going to send you on your way. And then just pay the toll and send us a photo of it. All right. I'm not going to send the text on the call just because I'm on my phone, but I will send it right after. Okay. Thank you for your honesty.
Starting point is 00:40:53 I also think you're a very honest person and I appreciate that. Yeah. I do too. Yep. Yeah, that's one thing I got going for me. You got a lot going for you. You got a lot going, kid. You're doing great.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Time-wise, you're a total train wreck, but outside of that, you seem to be a real bang of of care. All right. whenever the time would say now. You're actually a little late on sent meeting the text, too. We're going to need you to show up. It's kind of now time vibes. I'm going to, I haven't figured out.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I'm just going to read you guys what I've got in partially my head. Okay. So. Let's start three minutes ago, yeah? All right. Yeah, whatever you can. All right. Let me read it to you guys.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I'm good. We understand how this will work. Let's go. Okay. So I said, hey guys, I'm turning a new leaf. It's time for me to never be late again. But for me to do this, I need your help.
Starting point is 00:41:51 When you invite me somewhere, tell me a fake time that is earlier by 10, 40 minutes, your choice, than the actual time. I'm sorry that I've been late in the past, but that ends today. My uncles, Jake, Charlie, and Gareth are really on my ass about this and are holding me accountable. That's what I've got. It's great. I love it. I think you're in a golden zone. Yep.
Starting point is 00:42:16 And we're going to send that to one group, copy it, send it to the other group. Yep. Yes. This is great. All right. Thank you so much, guys. All right, Jude. Good job.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Well done. Jude, you're awesome. Yeah, you are. You are. You guys are awesome. I will absolutely follow up with you guys. All right, thanks, bud. Thanks so much.

Hey, what's your name? My man. My name is Paul. Hey, Paul. Where are you calling from, Paul? I'm calling from the greatest, Philadelphia area. Sure.
Starting point is 00:46:53 How old are you, Paul? Mid-40s. Paul, what do you do for work? I am a mailman. Awesome. Hell yeah. Paul, have you in your downtime when you're not carrying mail,
Starting point is 00:47:07 have you had a chance to watch the show maximum pleasure guaranteed streaming now on Apple? I have not. Did you know about it? Should I? Yeah, you should. I have not. It's the first time I'm hearing about it.
Starting point is 00:47:19 This is what I'm saying, Charlie. Paul, you've got Jake Johnson. We're screwed. Show regular. And you've got Charlie Hall. This food of this guy, Paul listens to the podcast too. Also star of maximum pleasure guaranteed. So it's on Apple.
Starting point is 00:47:33 You're going to watch it. Charlie's joining us. Jake is here. But listen, I mean, I don't know what to tell you. Tell people about it. We're trying to get the word out there. Okay. You're going to like it.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Yeah, you're going to like it. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to it.
Starting point is 00:47:48 All right. Well, you ask me for my profession, and that's actually an important part of the phone call. Okay. I have an issue on my mailman route with a very sweet old lady. Okay? So, yeah, we're going to get your minds out of the gutter. It's nothing like that.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Could be. It could be. But this sweet old lady, she has been, gradually giving me food. Okay. Coming out and giving me food. It started very small, very nice pieces of fresh made pie or cake. By the way, not small.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Yes. Not small. Small is an apple. Hold on. It gets worse. I mean, it's all my perspective. Sure. So now she then,
Starting point is 00:48:47 One day came out and handed me an entire spaghetti and meatball dinner. Holy shit. This is not to Brickston, but honestly. Complete with garlic bread and a little, little popcorn full of like, a little Tupperware full of like grated parmesan to put on top. So incredible. Incredible is right. This is DeBepo.
Starting point is 00:49:11 That was the, the next was a full meal of stuffed peppers. And the coup d'et ca was just a couple, just last week was a full steak dinner with baked potato and scallops. With scallops? How old is this one? If I had the venture guess, it would have to be at least in the 70s, maybe even a little bit older than that. Oh, buddy boy. And wait, I'm sorry. What's the problem here?
Starting point is 00:49:51 Oh, well, the problem here is it does seem kind of awesome. But like, it's too much, right? It's just, it's too much. I'm not the type of person that receives gifts very well. I'm not a big, I'm not a big, I'm not a big fan of it. I don't want spaghetti meatballs from a strange lady at my work. I don't. I think it's really sweet, but I don't want it. Yeah. I mean, it's very, very sweet. It's very thoughtful.
Starting point is 00:50:20 My guess is she probably has a larger family, and she's used to cooking for a lot of people. It's just her and her husband now. Her husband waves me from the doorway as she's handing me dinner sometimes. This guy's never eating that poison, is he? So what I will say, though, is what I will say is I am a bit of an oversharer myself with my information. and right before she gave me the spaghetti dinner, I had informed her about some changes in my personal life, which I probably should not have shared, and told her that I had started living on my own.
Starting point is 00:50:52 So you got divorced. Hold on, Paul, Paul, hold on. Yes, yeah, sure. We need all the contacts now. So where do you, where is this? What do you mean, where is this? Like, where do you work? What state are you in?
Starting point is 00:51:05 He's in Philly. I'm in the great, I'm in the great affiliate area. Yep. Okay. And so this older woman is on your route. How long have you been on this route? I've been on this route for three years. I was out for about a year, came back in early February from an Achilles tendon tear. And it's been, it's been since then. So since, okay, so when you came back, she's feeding you to get you strong again. Did she feed you before the injury? She would always come out and say hi, bring me a bottle of water, maybe some candy. So if you want to say that was starting small, that's fine. but nothing like like nothing like this for as a piece of a fresh made pie or cake or anything
Starting point is 00:51:43 that and certainly not just steak and scallops but post injury let's give sweet old lady a name uh let's call her jenelle jenelle so post injury jenelle has really started stepping up her game correct okay and what have you told jenelle about your injury your time off your personal life It sounds like maybe you went through a divorce. Is that accurate? That is correct. Yeah, I'm going through divorce right now. Let me ask you a question.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Paul, let me ask you a question. Sure. Why on God's Great Earth did you tell Janelle about the divorce? I didn't tell her about the divorce, but I did tell her I was living on my own. Why on God's Great earth did you do that? If my male woman came to me and say, hey, man, I'm living on my own, I'm going through a separation out going this. Okay. Charlie, I'm a wonderful question.
Starting point is 00:52:35 No, you're 100% right. The problem is there is context, so thank you very much, Jake. The context is that she asked me how my Easter was. Okay. Fine. You say fine, Paul. You're right. I should.
Starting point is 00:52:49 And again, I'm going to go back to the point I ate earlier is that I'm a bit of an overshare. Okay. Which, by the way, can I just say is I think that Paul, that can be endearing. So I, I will say. I mean, I mean, you know, you shouldn't it. You shouldn't have said your Easter was just so you had a good. Mr. But it was great.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Thank you. How was your life? But, but. Unfortunately, a lot of time machine for me to change that, you know. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I agree. So you're right, but you're right, but I needed to live in the past a little bit to get more. I like to cut your jit, Paul. I like you.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Thank you. You're a Charlie guy. So now we get a little bit of context. You overshared with Janelle. You tugged on our heartstrings a little bit. She thinks you are great. She loves you as her male person. She's sad for you.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yeah And so her way of showing love Is to fill your stomach up with meats Yes I got a pitch Sure We need to lie and tell her you fell in love And Paul
Starting point is 00:53:56 You're happy, you're fed You're living great So you start going there with a big smile And a little skip And she goes When she has you feud you go Thank you I'll be sure to tell Jennifer that you did this.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Who's Jennifer? My new love. And she's just perfect for me. Charlie, your thoughts. I'm not convinced that's going to stop the food deliver. I'm not convinced that's I don't, I maybe it is. Maybe it is.
Starting point is 00:54:26 Maybe you're right. Maybe you're wrong though, but what are you thinking? Well, let me tell you, I love the idea of lying. Yeah. I don't know what. I always great. It's always good. I've always said it to You can never go wrong lying all the time. We lie a lot on this show. Yeah. I wonder if there's a great lie.
Starting point is 00:54:48 And it's definitely something that considered. I'm not the best at lying. So I do avoid it. Plus, as a side, I'm not, like, there is a backup person who covers my day off. Who may not, if she speaks with him as well, she would have, I'm afraid he would not be able to corroborate that lie all the time. So you overshare with everybody, Paul. Well, I mean, he's a closer co-worker and going through a similar thing.
Starting point is 00:55:18 I understand. Okay, now I get it. Okay, now I get it. What if you lied about, because you lie about, is there a food-centric lie as opposed to a, like, that would directly inhibit, like, what, what would happen in someone's life where they would no longer be allowed to accept O-Zempic Well, but then they would. Isn't the idea that you can eat
Starting point is 00:55:42 whatever you want when you're not? No, I think with OZempic, you're not hungry at all. He's going to have to start dropping some pounds, though, to corroborate that one. Okay, Paul, let me just say this, and I don't love it, and it's not going to be right, but maybe it's going to get us somewhere. But I'm saying, I know it's not this
Starting point is 00:55:58 because I don't want to hurt Janelle's feelings, but maybe this is a seed that's going to grow into something. Tell her you got food poisoning from one of her edition. I was just thinking that. When she gives it to you, go like this, thank you. I would miss one day of work where she goes like, well, where were you yesterday? And go like, I got food poisoning from the meatloaf. What you go?
Starting point is 00:56:24 But, Janelle, there's no part of me that is upset. First of all, it tasted delicious. But I'm going to have to. My boss said that I can no longer accept any food dishes because I did miss a day of work from opening the canister from the back end and the front end. What if you did, could you do exactly that without, could you do the back half of that without the, is there any world where you could lie and say the company-wide mandate,
Starting point is 00:56:50 we cannot accept things from, we can't accept? We can't because it's actually something that is, I mean, I'm sure you guys don't know, but it's actually a very public rule about what mailman and mailman can't take. And what is the rule? Yeah, what's the rule?
Starting point is 00:57:06 Well, the rule is that we can take any gift as long as it's not a monetary value of up to $20. Well, guess what? Spaghetti and meatballs, you talk about the restaurant, brother. You're talking 2495 in today's economy. He's inventing on the restaurant. Hey, Janelles is the finest Italian place in Philly, baby. What code you're sticking to there? You don't think you're going to lie to this old woman.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Paul's a real guy. Paul's a real guy. It's only because I'm on a recorded line, my friend. Recorded line. Paul, I really like you. I'm liking Paul, too. I do too. I don't mind. This is hard, actually.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Because we don't want to offend Janelle. The food coincide thing, I understand. That's a good idea, Jake. I'm afraid I'm going to break her heart. I think you're not. I don't want that to happen. Yeah. How does it work when you, when you, when,
Starting point is 00:58:04 She finds you. How does it work that she knows you're at her place? That's actually very funny. There's a little funny part of this. So as I mentioned, my backup earlier. So it's a part of my route where I'm driving up to the house in the mailboxes on the street.
Starting point is 00:58:19 So I don't even get out of my truck for her house, right? But one day my backup actually had seen her at the top of her driveway waiting for him to come off to her house. And once she realized he was the person coming up delivering the mail the way, she definitely sulked her head, had a bag of something, and went back in the house and would not give it to him. So she's literally outside waiting with the bed of... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I got a fun pitch. I'm going to pitch you a fun pitch. I'm a professional, so I get there around the same time every day, you know? Yeah, you do. I would like you to talk to our previous caller about that. All right. What if we, for fun, make a game out of this for you, where you have a little disguise, you cover yourself up with, like, a wig, a...
Starting point is 00:59:04 hat, some sunglasses, maybe like a cane that you walk with so that you're throwing her off the scent. And maybe you show up a little bit later. Maybe you delay your route a little bit. And the game is now you're trying to get it so that she can't tell it to you. That I like. I mean, that's unbelievable. That's unbelievable that you like that. Yeah, I'm shocked to it. I don't find that to be a realistic solution, but I tell you why. It's not the same way, but he's not either. But if you're It's not realistic. It's not real. I like it because I have a long,
Starting point is 00:59:40 you know, I have a long beard. I can shave. She would never know it's me after I shave. With glasses. Interesting. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:59:46 put on some sunglasses. It would be kind of fun. I would love before I have to photo. I would also love a GoPro of seeing her. I want you holding the phone, filming, being like,
Starting point is 00:59:58 I'm just there, but she went inside. Oh, that's funny. We are just kicking the can down, down the alley, though, with that. aren't we?
Starting point is 01:00:07 True. She will catch on me eventually, right? I have a question. What time of day do you usually get to her place? Great question. It is actually in the last 10 minutes, 10 to 15 minutes of my route. Which is what? Which is perfect time for dinner.
Starting point is 01:00:23 Yes, interesting. Paul, I got a question. Can I, okay. So is there a world where is her food not good? Charlie, he doesn't want to eat the food. I have any. I have a good. The problem.
Starting point is 01:00:36 The problem. I want to eat the food too. Well, I wonder if you could, I wonder if you could request, like if she, because she clearly gets some sort of fulfillment out of giving you these little gifts of food. So I'm wondering if you're, okay, so I wonder if we could, because you want to scratch the, because I honestly do think, like the way, the way this was first sort of posited, like getting like a little slice of pie from an old lady and you're a mailman, like there's worse problems in the world. But I do think like when we get to the spaghetti, meatball, steak, scallop dinners, then it becomes like insanity. Of course.
Starting point is 01:01:13 So I wonder if there's a world where you can kind of direct what she's making. You can tell her, hey, you know, I love like this thing. And it's something that you would actually, it's maybe a small, it's a little bit, you know, I just wonder if there's a way you can do this without hurting anyone's feelings
Starting point is 01:01:33 where you actually still are receiving something, but it's something that is manageable. I like that, and I would say that's a great option. If you want to go the crazy route on that one, what you do is you go online and find some of the most complicated recipes you can find, and you start handing her those and going like, that'd be good for tomorrow,
Starting point is 01:01:54 and start making her be like, I've overfed this path. Now it's showing up in ways that I don't want anymore. And then her husband's going, Janelle, stop it. Yeah, her husband's going like, what are you doing? You don't know how to, but she's going, I got to stay up late because the mailman's coming tomorrow. And he's expecting sushi rolls. That's funny.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Let me, I think there's something to that, Paul. Can I ask a personal question? Is your mother alive? She is, but she lives in the Chicagoland area. Have you told Janelle about that? That my mom is alive and doesn't live near me? Yes. No.
Starting point is 01:02:30 Okay, great. Here's what I would possibly say. Next time she gives it to you. say, oh my God, that spaghetti you gave me yesterday was so great. This falafel, I can't believe it. And you go, but Janelle, this has to be the last. And she'll go, why? And you go, can I be honest?
Starting point is 01:02:47 And I'm really embarrassed to admit this? She goes, yeah, and you go, my mother's getting jealous. And she goes, what? And you laugh with her? And she goes, why? And you go, because I came home, she had made some food for me. And I told her I was already full. and I think she thinks I like your food better
Starting point is 01:03:07 so I can't take it anymore because the truth is I think I do like your food better than my mom's and it's driving her crazy so you are the greatest I appreciate you can I give you a big hug but this has to be the end we have to watch out from my mom's feelings together and then every time you see her you go
Starting point is 01:03:23 I wish I could be eating that spaghetti I don't mind that at all I don't either single white female your mom is a crazy jealous lady Hmm. Hmm. I think that's a good idea. I think that
Starting point is 01:03:40 I think every idea is getting a little bit more crazier than just saying I'm falling in love to somebody else and some woman is in my life making a dinner. I think we're going to have to go back to the easy one at this point. Okay. So Paul, we're at the point of the show now. Tell us what you're going to do.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Sure. So next time that Janelle comes out and brings me some dinner. I'm going to just happily accept it, not going to say anything at the time. The next day when I, of course, returned the Tupperware that I hand washed to bring back to her.
Starting point is 01:04:14 I'm going to tell her how delicious it was, tell her that my girlfriend who starts showing up in my life and has been around, had some of it with me and very much enjoyed it as well too. And that next night, her and I,
Starting point is 01:04:30 she invited me over to her house to make me dinner at her at my girlfriend's house. I like this. I do too. I don't want to talk past the clothes. Then don't. What he said did, I just, I know he doesn't want to go crazy, but he did just open up a crazier solution to this,
Starting point is 01:04:48 which is you don't return the Tupperware anymore, and you just keep saying you forgot, and you starve her out of Tupperware. You talked past the clothes. Not bad. You did. Paul, are you going to do, the girlfriend thing?
Starting point is 01:05:04 I am. I am. I'm going to do the girlfriend thing. Will you do us a favor? And will you try to record to pay the toll that interaction with her? At least the audio? Yes. The answer is yes, Paul. You will. Because that's what you get
Starting point is 01:05:20 for the advice. While we have Charlie here, Jake, do we want to have Charlie Janelle it up with Paul just to get maybe the forceful nature of a rehearsal out of the way? So real quick, Paul, you're going to be You're breaking it off with Janelle. You've got the girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Charlie, you will be Janelle, the woman who seems to be having addiction to feeding Paul Steak and Scaloms. All right? So you're walking up. Here we are. Janelle's waiting there with a bag of crazy shit. Go for it. Oh, Paul. I'm so happy to see you delivering my mail today.
Starting point is 01:05:52 It's me, Janelle. And also here I have for you a delicious four huge cheeseburgers. Here you go. I made these for you. Thank you. Thank you very much, Chanel. You're too kind. You know, I greatly appreciate it.
Starting point is 01:06:11 This is great. I have my girlfriend coming over tonight. Girlfriend? Definitely, yes, yes. I met someone new. I've been on a couple days. What's her name? Her, thank you very much for asking.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Her name is Jennifer. She's very nice. A very nice person. I'm having a great time. And it's definitely going very well. That's amazing. Great. Well, I can't.
Starting point is 01:06:40 So I got to make more food now that I'm feeding too. No, no. Luckily, Jennifer is a great cook. She actually invited me over to her house for dinner tomorrow night. I'm very excited. First time I'm going over to her place. And, you know, first time that she's going to have you some dinner. And I should not have shared that information.
Starting point is 01:06:57 But I'm very excited about it. And yeah, everything's, going really well. So I really appreciate the meal and thank you very much. Oh, this is going over to her plate. If she's making food and I guess I don't have to make you food anymore, I'm so funny. Janelle has you in an arm bar
Starting point is 01:07:14 and a choke hole. I mean, at some point, Paul, you have to say the tough thing, which is the thing. You can't just be standing there talking about how in love you are and now Janelle's doubling the order. You got to pull the trigger, tough guy. Your hope is what?
Starting point is 01:07:30 This is everything to this woman. My hope is that the idea of having a girlfriend is enough. I don't have to actually tell her to stop. No. Paul, you don't live in reality, brother. You got to say. You ain't in the greater Philadelphia area. You're in never-neverland.
Starting point is 01:07:46 You have to say there's no need for the food anymore. She's a great cook. Thank you. But thank you so much. I've really enjoyed it. It's over. It's over. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:54 All right. So do that really fast, Paul. Just say the harsh thing so we can hear you say it. Ginelle, it's very sweet. Thank you very much. It's so kind. I really appreciate this. You know, I have been seeing somebody and I have been spending my dinner time plans with a new, a new girlfriend of mine.
Starting point is 01:08:14 We have been. We're an economy, babe. We're going to start over. Just actually say, thank you for the food. I have a, I do have a new woman in my life, and we've been spending a lot of time together at dinner time. So I appreciate it. I do not need new to keep giving me dinners anymore, Janelle.
Starting point is 01:08:34 I really appreciate it, though. Once more, really sweet, really firm. Let's see if we can get it without the stumble. So Janelle doesn't get confused whenever you're ready. Okay. Thank you, Janelle. It's very kind and very sweet that you keep doing this. I do have a new girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:08:52 We've been spending our dinner time plans together. So I really appreciate this, but I really don't need you to be giving me full meals anymore. Thank you very much. Let's go again. Janelle, I don't need these meals anymore, but thank you. I've got a new girlfriend and we eat together, but I appreciate it. But the meals have to stop now.
Starting point is 01:09:12 Chanel, thank you very much for the meals. I do have to ask them to end right now. I do have a girlfriend, and we've been spending our daytime meals together, and I really appreciate it, but they do have to end at this point. Perfect. One more time, Janelle, I don't want your food and fuck off. Let's just hear you say it. Just to have it.
Starting point is 01:09:28 I am not. Just to hear you say. No, I can't do that. I'm sorry. That's something I'm going to have to draw a line, I take. I love it. I love it, too. You want it, Paul.
