• 11:41
  Speaker 1: you know everything down to the did you win did
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you lose? Exactly? Faithful? There are no traders and faithfuls
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on this season. They kept calling me the fluffer, So
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that so I feel like it's
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: maybe like a different version that I'm doing, but it
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: is on Thursday nights on NBC so o'clock Primetime TV.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I feel like they did that because I'm on this season,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: but obviously unconfirmed. Yeah, Alan said, you know, he was
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: really threatened by me that he thought I was going
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to come take his job, and that I see that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: he was worried that I was going to play Macbeth
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: after his performance and that that would sort of create
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a ishue. You know, he probably was really afraid that
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you were going to do, was.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: To take over as the MC cabaret. Yes, yeah, because
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: really there's a lot of times I've only seen him
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: in that like four.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Times, and I thought like, oh, they're type casting me
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: as like, you know, the evil defense attorney. Turns out
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I was cast as like the leggy blonde with like
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: huge tits. What was the wig? Like, Oh, yeah, so
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: it was a hard bang. I think Carolyn Levitt meets
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Gladys from Weapons. It's hard. It's a hard bang. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: left that interview with Alan and he said, I've never
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: seen anyone do that with a ping pong ball. Before
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: he was shocked shook us. So, yeah that it's eight
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: o'clock on NBC Thursday nights and then the next day
• 13:11

  Speaker 1: that you can be yeah. Yeah, I want your hot take. Okay,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I want your hot take of the show because I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: feel like, especially with people who are close to me
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: in my life, they're not gonna be rooting for me.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be rooting for everyone else. That's not true.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: That is true. I think my mom and my dad
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: are going to call me and they're gonna be like,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I loved the girl from Illinois, Like you know what
• 13:49

• 13:59
  Speaker 1: so is cute. But do you think that that's.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: But do you think that that means that they don't
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: want you to win or do you think that they're
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: just because Because here's the thing, right, Like, if I'm objectively,

  Speaker 1: could do like a little We'll do. It won't be
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: all I don't want it to be all traders. People
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: have like other questions.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, but I think we should try at
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: least read one or two trade a questions episode.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: That'd be fun. So make it good.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's only going to be one or two,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: so make it a good one.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: And don't make it about Picky Eaters or the city
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: of Boston because we're not going to answer it. No,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: We're we're done. But I do feel like if someone
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: has one arm and they want to write it or
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm still I want to answer those. Yeah, let's get
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: into algorithm is showing because this trial is going crazy,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the Lindsay Clancy trial. I am watching every clip. I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: am locked in.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: You know, my cousin reached out to me and all
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: she the text message was all she said was Lindsay Clancy.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all she said.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: And then I wrote back to her and now's like,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: what about her? And she's like, if you don't cover this, yeah, there's.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: No macaroni and cheese for you at Thanksgiving. That is
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: very serious. And she makes it with a Beshmel sauce
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: as one does. Okay, so we actually have for Really
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: this is early high stakes. So this is the craziest trial.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure I'll just give like a brief introduction
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of the true for people who don't know anything about it.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: But it's literally everywhere. It's hard to avoid Lindsay Clancy.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Sorry c J. The way this prosecutor wearing bows in
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: her hair. Okay, serious turn this case is about. I
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: don't even know how to frame it, but basically, this
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: woman was experiencing by polar disorder and psychosis and allegedly
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: murdered her children, three children during postpartum. But I almost
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: don't want to say allegedly, because her defense is claiming
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that she she did it and that this comes down
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to whether it was psychosis or not. Correct why did
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: she do that? However, everyone on the internet is saying
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: that the husband did it and that they shouldn't even
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: be claiming that it was that the trial shouldn't be
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: about psychosis or not. It should be about whether he
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: did it, because the evidence like is actually pointing towards
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: him allegedly. Allegedly. Yeah, basically what happened was the breakdown
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: of it is he came home, found the children unlived
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: in the basement, and she was outside of the upstairs
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: window on the ground with self harm marks on her arm.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: Her spine was injured and her thyroid was sort of
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: like she's parilessed from the waist down. I think, yeah,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: she's got major injuries. And that is sort of what
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: was found at the scene of the crime. Whenever on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the internet is talking about, right, is that he left.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: He was only gone, and when they found her, her
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: internal body temperature was eighty three degrees, which is like
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Antarctica something like. And he was only gone for like
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: thirty forty minutes. So he left to go to CBS
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to pick up medication for one of the kids and
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: then picked up dinner and came home and that was
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: this enough time. But everyone's like, she's bipolar, she's medicated. Oh, also,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: there were crushed of pills and she had.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: Taken she had taken the pills herself. Well, yeah, aludedly
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: she crushed took the pills.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: So everyone's like, how did she have time to in
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: forty minutes, She's on drugs, experiencing psychosis. Go down to
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the basement on a live three kids, go upstairs, move
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a king sized bed. She's her body temperatures at eighty
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: three degrees, which is like subarctic. Cut herself in. She's
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a nurse in the wrong direction if you really are,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to like no, no, no,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: but we're talking about being angle and then go out
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the window of the second story. So like, I know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: people experiencing psychosis maybe aren't doing things logically. And so
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of you know, armchair theorists who
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: are always will be there, always will be. But he
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: just hired an attorney because he testified the husband and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the criminal defense attorney for her brought up the fact that,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: oh and also he called her from the CBS while
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: she was allegedly committing in those she called him back,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and how there's a phone record. How long were they
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: on the phone for like less than thirty seconds? Okay,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: he was confirming what the medication was. So people on
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: the internet are saying he had her Apple Watch and
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: answered the phone that way, and he was talking to himself.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: There are some images from surveillance cameras. His outfits are
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: kind of different from the takeout restaurant to the CBS allegedly, again,
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: these are screenshots from the internet. Yep, I'm not saying
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that that's conclusive. No, it's not. But we've been here before.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: But it's us. I recognize that tree. Yeah, what's going
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: on in the home. That's going on? Well, oh boy? Yeah,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: so wait and he sent an email possibly from his
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: laptop at the home. Okay, during the thirty minutes of
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: when all this is happening, and the laptop email evidence
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: came up during his testimony, and then after that he
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: he lawyered up what I think is happening. Yeah, is
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the attorney's doing a very good job. There's a lot
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: of people are really loving this defense. Attorney. He is
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: putting forward like a traditional defense of psychosis, but he's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: also breadcrumbing the possibility that she didn't either act alone
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: or that she was drugged like that there was foul
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: play here on his part allegbly.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, again, you tell us because you're the
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: attorney here, But is it that because it's not like
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: they have to find her innocent, right, it is just
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: not guilty and kind of not guilty in any kind
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: of way that she could sort of swing it right.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: So this is what I would do if I were
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: the defense attorney on this case. Anytime you bring up, oh,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Melissa did it, not Michael, the prosecution has a chance
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to conduct a full direct examination across examination and they
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: can call their own expert witnesses as to why was
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: this person over the other person during the course of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a trial before closing arguments. So if this defense attorney
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: brings up, oh, maybe Patrick did it and not her
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: during open court, does it head on with Patrick on
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the stand, prosecution gets a chance to rehabilitate their witness.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: If that defense attorney does a full psychosis case but
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: drops in these little hints that maybe possibly Patrick did it,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: or just casts a little bit of doubt on whether
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: or not she did it, then in closing, prosecution does
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: their closing first. Then the prosecution rests. They are not
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: allowed to come back. They can object if something crazy happens,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: but they don't get to introduce new evidence. Once they rest,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the defense attorney can call back to those breadcrumbs during
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: their closing argument. That is like my theory of what
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: will happen, and that he'll mention, oh maybe it was Patrick,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: throw a little bit of doubt in there. But the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: trial is about psychosis, Like these are affirmative defenses. They're saying,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you know, pleaded the insanity please, So has she testified?
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: No she has not. So Like, on one hand, that's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: like kind of the theory, I'm thinking that will maybe
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: happen and at the end of the trial. The other
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: thing is that there's a lot that that criminal defense
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: attorney knows that we don't know of course watching Yeah,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: so they could have had extensive conversations about how she
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: was feeling or her memory. Is that we just are
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: never going to know those privileged conversations. These are all
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: interesting theories of who could have possibly done it or
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: what actually happened that night, well was the motivation behind it,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: But we don't know what those privileged conversations are. She
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: could be talking to him about like, yeah, I remember
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: doing it. These are the voices I was he hearing,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: this is this is what that experience was like. But
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: it's brought up this like enormous other conversation about postpartum care.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: This woman was asking for help. She had a psychiatrist,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: she had a therapist, she was in and out of treatment.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: She had talked to all of her friends about how
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: she wasn't sleeping, she wasn't feeling well, she did feel
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: like herself. It's cry for help, asking for help, and.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: They're not getting it. Yeah, right, And you know, I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: think that that happens quite a bit. I think that
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: they're hopefully less now, but they not enough people take
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: what women say seriously about their health, about how they're feeling,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: about things, about experiences that they've had. I sort of
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: jokingly say this all the time. If the only way
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: to test for testicular cancer was to put a guy's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: nuts and advice, they'd be a better way to do it, right, Yeah,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: But every year, every year, every year, I got to
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: go in and get my boob smashed, and it's not
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: it hurts, like, do.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: And I think that that is and I think we
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: had talked about this the other day also about all
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: the testing and studies that have been done surrounding autism
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: have been for little white boys. So there is we
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: don't respect women in this country. We don't think that
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: their care requires more investigation. So here's this woman, way
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: before anything happened to her children, who said I am
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: not okay, right, And she was somebody who had the resources,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: she was a labor and delivery nurse, right, And she
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: was going to people, all the people who should be
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: able to help her, to say I'm not doing well,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I'm not okay, I don't like how I feel. I
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: have never bounced back, and they kept on sending her home.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: It's like we never left the fifties given women value
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and saying that the vapors like truly.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Like it's just like hysteria. Yeah, right, yeah, it's just
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: I wonder I mean. And in the end, here's this
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: woman who never got the care that she needed, and
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: now we have three dead children.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Right. And now, what.
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I was talking about this this week on vacation is
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: that we as just a I think a nation, as
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: a population of people, we don't ever seem to learn anything.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: How many times do the same things need to happen again?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: How many times do we need to see a genocide
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: in one place only to have it happen elsewhere?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: How many times do women have to say to you
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: this is an experience that I had for people to
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: believe them. How many you know, how many how.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Many doctor's appointments are we going to go to where
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: we're like, oh, hey, I have these five symptoms and
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: they're like, it's anxiety, it's anxiety. I mean, I'm not
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a woman, and I get that all the time because
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I have anxiety and I'm a neurotic asshole. Every time
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I go to the doctor, they're like, you're fine, it's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: not so you just have a stomach ache. And I
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: have to be like, yo, I know you're using chat
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: gibtwo too. That's what I looked it up, and I've
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: got the same I've got the same thing on my
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: screen that you do exactly. So let's write the script baby,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you know, like, yeah, I hear you. So it's just
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: like one of these where it's like how many times
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: do we have to have that? When I was in
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: law school, my friend had a bunch of friends who
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: were medical school and I was asking them. I was like, Oh,
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: how did they train you to handle like trans patients,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: like sensitivity training. I'm sure there's like is it like
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a six week no? Is it like a weekend thing?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: And they were like, no, They're like, I think we
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: covered it. Just the procedure, like the one procedure from the.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Rn ecologists do not learn about perry menopause.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Oh, They're like, oh, it's just a pinch. I've seen
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: those speculums.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: They're like, you not get you started about about the
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: just and also just sort of separately from perimenopause, just
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: as a as a woman who has an IUD, when
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I tell you how painful it was.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: It would be full anesthesia if men had to get
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: iud's one hundred.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: And I know I'm thinking about it, and I know
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: that I have to get it out soon, and I
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: don't want to do it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, cuz it's gonna I'm getting a cavity.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, give me the anesthesia, knock me out.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be here for it again. We
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: don't need just here, give me the Michael Jackson shit,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: just like, knock me out for like a day or two.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Just give me a little break from consciousness. Just getting
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: that didn't end well for him, So maybe we don't.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: We don't want that picked me up with the MJE
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe you don't.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I think I remember one time really thought this is
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: a really long time ago.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: And I was dating somebody and he didn't feel well
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: and and I was like, you need to take like
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: ni quill or something, and we didn't have what he needed.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: And I was like, here, what you're gonna do.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: You're gonna take this one thing and then you're going
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: to follow it up with this other thing. And he
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: was like, why are you trying to Michael Jackson? Me what?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: I can't even remember what it was that I was
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: telling you to do.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: And he was like, Michael Jackson and that what's wild
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: is that you were the pharmacologist. You have this fully
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: figured out. Yeah, I mean I had.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I had all the things, is for the one thing
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: that I really needed. So I was gonna make you.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: This is the guy at my high school who was
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: in the kitchen cooking up crack at the party. It's like,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: does I don't have any go took it to the kitchen,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: started cooking.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, but we do not take the time to
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: listen to the needs of women. We do not take
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the time to do the proper investigation that is required. Yeah,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: you cannot treat a postpartum woman the same way that
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you do a man.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's just it does not it's and I guess
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: like my advice is like, if you have a friend
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: who is saying any of these things. It doesn't have
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to be the Lindsey Clancy case, but if you have
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a friend who is reaching out or you hear your
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: friend talk about this. I always have this thing inside
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: of me that's like, I'm not going to be this
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: dramatic diva who like reports right or like hmm it's
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: like hey, you need help. But I actually I've started
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: to do it more done because I'm like, this is
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: it's like the school shooters, right, oh wo how could
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: we were all shocked to learn and then we get
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: like the locker full of the notebooks. Right, it's like right,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: or are you hear signs? Are there? Or you hear
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: like other kids who were just like yeah, no, he
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: was weird, do you know what I mean?
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Like, And that's the thing, you know, It's.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: That it's to see something, say something, see something say something.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: And so I'm just like I have started to be
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: more like you know what, I'd rather be called the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: dramatic gay guy who calls the mom or who calls
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the husband or the partner the police. Yeah, calls whomever.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Then the person who is like being interviewed on the
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: news filled with regret.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know this is this is no matter
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: how you turn this Lindsey Clancy story.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Around, tragedy, tragedy and I.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: And I can only only hope, but I don't have
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: a whole lot of it.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: But I only hope that something comes from this. Your
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: mother's hood is so isolating. Yeah, I've heard, I've heard. Anyway,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: all right, let's take a break because Brian's in the studio.
• 32:02

• 34:11
  Speaker 1: right now in New York City, Yes, called are you
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: mad at Me? Where you? What I want to say
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: is maybe aggressively confront the audience. Okay, you know what, yes,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: but answer a question. I'm actually trying to seek approval.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Like we've gotten to the point where I will ask
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the audience like, what do you think so far? Are
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: you having any thought?
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Does he get answers? Yeah, yeah, what kind of answers?
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Two nights ago, a lady just stonewalled me.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: I mean she gave me nothing, and I was like, okay,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: but that's also a gift. And then another let's see
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: the most reason when I got she's the weird one there.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Absolutely it's not you anymore.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: And sometimes you'll see and I think it's from like
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: the New York Times, a little thing about my show.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: And I think I can always tell you who comes
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: from there, because that's the FSA, and so it's these
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: and it was her, it was her. And then in
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: the lady came and I was like, how are you
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: liking it? And she goes, I think it's a gas
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: and I was like, what fabulous? And by the way,
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: she looked miserable, but she loved it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: That's very New York though. They love you so much
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: bitterer and getting nothing. Yes, And I will say the
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: night I was there, the ac was broken. I was
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: opening night.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Here's what you don't do for an opening night, okay
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: planet the night of the World Cup final that morning,
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: forty people canceled it. They didn't make it. It was
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: one of the saddest own. The party was fun and
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: the show was fun, but the attendance was like, it
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: was my fault. I should never It was trash. I
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: was there, it was now. Michael was there and Anna
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: was there and that was great.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: So unless you are somebody who's tuned into soccer, yeah,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: how would you.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Well, that's why I was there, Rifa, I don't know
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: who that is. Here's the thing. I am zero in
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: tune with that stuff, right. I thought the whole city
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: was out of tune with that stuff. I mean the
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: days were not. Yeah, it wouldn't give a ship.
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: But no, even then, because if you went into like
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: any of the gay bars even they were all airing
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: it constantly and well.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let me just there are some very attractive
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: Oh it could be that beyond. Yeah, they're trying to
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: they're trying to catch.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: I will say, I think they might be the sexiest
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: professional athletes.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go on, Yes, I think they're right.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: I think so common below. I mean, I mean there's
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: sexy athletes in all the sports. Yes, common sport.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: That's the sex right, I've only happened to watch two
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: sports in women's hurling. The other thing I.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Think about the it's so it's players that we don't
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: get to see because the United States, yes, is not
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: really a soccer kind of mission, and so we've never
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: seen these people. And it's sort of like across all ethnicists.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: So it's different kinds of sexiness, right completely, and.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: We actually get I mean, it's really the only time well,
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: I guess the Olympics, but it's the only time that
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: you but the Olympics is different because you never really
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: get the same chance to root for another country in
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: that way really, and in the World Cup you kind
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: of could, like I wouldn't watch the matches, but I
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: still had a favorite.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the world.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Didn't you, like, yeah, it was right.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Of the The cool.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Thing about that is that I think very few people
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: had ever heard of Cave Verdice and here comes this.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: It's like the Cinderella story, right, and like the and
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: the way that they got the players were. They put
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: an add on LinkedIn.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Wait are you serious? Hands to God, and the guys
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: just showed up.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: And the main goalie his day job is like bus
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: driver slash electrician and he's forty.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: That's that's actually really cool aspirational. Yes, And second of all,
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I need to start posting for dates on LinkedIn or something.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I think, so get out there if you want to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: put your Craigslist ads up there on LinkedIn. I thought
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: that's good.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly those were the days crew you genuinely didn't
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: get murdered.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: No, you did not know, but who? But that was
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: part of the fun. What was it that?
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: What was My favorites were like missed opportunities whatever, the connections.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Yes, posted one, but the guy responded nothing Okay. Literally
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: the response was oh yeah that's me. And I was like, great,
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: I basically wrote a love letter to you. And he
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: was like Yeah, that was me. It's so funny. And
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: I was like, that's hilarious. You want to hang out,
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: no ghosted.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Repelling men, since what you're.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Was, oh my god, let's see two thousand and eight. Yeah, exactly,

• 39:24
  Speaker 1: to say, CJ, you know what, It's just it happens
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: to be that way because I always try to do
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: that to like, truly the friendliest face in the audience.
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: So it's actually very threatening energy. And I have to
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: say I.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: Only ever try to do the crowd work on people
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: who are looking at me, like if anyone if I'm
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: approaching the crowd and people look away.
• 39:41

• 42:09
  Speaker 2: I and my my feeling is as somebody who grew
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: up as a child of immigrants, of Haitian immigrants. You
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: can't hurt my feelings because my parents already did it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: And you, okay, so made steal completely non controversial figures,
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: just no controversies at all.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: You used to work for Ellen? I did, and so
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: what was that like? Well, you know, I recently I
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: did not know that I did. Okay, early in my career.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Recently tried to writer. Yes, I worked for her. I
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: recently checked to see when it expired, and it turns
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: out it expires when I do you what you did
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: on that show? I was a writer.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: So like her jokes and stuff when she came out
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: her monologue and then all this stuff really the first
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: act of the show, like the stuff she would do
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: at the desk before the guest came out for Dave
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: lamanould be like a top ten list.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: She would do like comedy pieces.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Of this, yeah, like her dancing please like please that
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: her own thing.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I don't think you can.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: Write no, no, no, no, I meant I meant.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Step touch step touch No no, no, no, you can't write that.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: We're really putting Brian in a bind. I know.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: I'm just curious, like, is it like were you like, oh,
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: it might be fun and fill some time if you dance,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean and the audience going, right,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: that's what I meant.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, No, that was always a given. She was. She
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: would always do that, Okay, for sure. It was The
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: writing was like please, welcome to the stage, diddy, right,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: it was like stuff like that. Well, no, they were
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: actual jokes.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: I did more than fill in a mad list.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: When you write jokes for people like that, is it
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: just you or is it a bunch of you?
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: So every show works a little differently. For that, it
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: was they would assigned one writer on the monologue, two
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: writers on the desk pieces. Okay, so that day.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: When you were doing the monologue, you were on your own,
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: but you would you could go to some of the
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: other writers for punch ups. But everyone there and in
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: other writers rooms, are different. Everyone there. It was very
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: individualistic there. It's just what that was sort of the
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: culture more than like let's share ideas about something.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Gotcha? Gotcha?
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: And did you always do the same thing or were
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: you sometimes working with the other person so.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: You would switch off you I would rotate exactly, so
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: one day you'd have the monologue and then like the
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: next day you would do the desk piece and that kind.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: Of Okay, every day, that's a lot.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was every day we would shoot. I think
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: most daytime stuff DOESN'TY would shoot two on Thursdays. You
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: would be off on Friday.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: It was a grunt and it.
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: Was like, I mean, it could be exciting in some
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: ways because you are literally feeding a newscript into the
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: prompter as she's walking out. Some days like there changes because.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: You know that's like that's like for us. Yeah, well
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: we get here and he puts the the demo all
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: on my tongue to massages the throat. That's one. He says,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: nice kitty, that's a kitty kitty.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: But he'll just like throw in a random guess, Yeah,
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: what's coming with going? This is a fully teleprompter check.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: Everything's pretty I can't attest to that because all my
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: answers have been said.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: That care required. So Michael's been a great boss.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: How iron Clad is your non disclosure?
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: We took no comment.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: C J has a baby on the way. He's not
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: saying anything.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, fair enough. Keep this going coming every minute.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: That's so sweet. Do you have a good lawyer for
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: the baby?
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I guess you know that much about babies. I guess
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: that's the question when someone says they're having a baby
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to Brian is does the baby have lawyer with a
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: former paralegal? You watch A Boss Baby voiced by Alec
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Baldwin before that. Is he great to talk about? No? No,
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: nothing problematic. Everyone in the room go around, and everyone
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: go around and say, you're Alec Baldwin experience, because everyone
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: in New York has seen him or had some sort
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: of fucking interaction with that. Yeah, I've seen him out
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: of Soul Cycle class. I've seen him in the park
• 46:24

  Speaker 2: I've seen him with his kid. This is before he
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: had all of the other ones.
• 46:42

  Speaker 1: I don't think we work well with anybody. Yeah, right,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: we don't know. We just found each other and didn't

• 52:46
  Speaker 1: You said Monday? I said, First.
• 52:49

  Speaker 2: it used to be on originally.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: Roll back that's right, roll back the feet and play
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: it for yourself, America. So on this show, Melissa, I've

• 53:08
  Speaker 1: Melissa the plot, yes, of that night's episode. Absolutely, And
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I would also I would record my TV. I'm like,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: this is what's happening for this is happening. So it

• 53:27
  Speaker 1: This would just be like.

  Speaker 6: would be something of that.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: That's you were mixing two episodes. See, and this is
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: where the lore this is like when you bring up

• 53:46
  Speaker 1: you know what, can you believe it? No? No, I know.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed. No, I think there's a promised land like
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: waiting for you in the afterlife because you didn't watch
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: any of it really exactly.
• 53:56

• 54:07
  Speaker 2: a lot of my cousin have a lot of cousins.
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: One of my cousins is so proud of the fact
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: that she has never seen not one episode of Game
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: of Thrones. Okay, she's like, she's just like, I just
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: couldn't didn't want to.
• 54:18

  Speaker 2: of Thrones ended.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: So I was She's really, I'm very I started watching
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: and I was like, this is chopped, and I kept
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: moving on with that. Guy is going to die before
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: he writes the rest of those books. Oh the Els.

• 55:00

• 55:03
  Speaker 1: thank you for clarifying that, because it's really been a
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: concern of my fire show. Okay, so our favorite plot
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: points from now I'm okay, Okay, Melissa's got a fangirl
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: for a minute, I do.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I think there are a few episodes, but
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: I think my favorite one might be the one where
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: there was some kind of a power outage or something
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: and all the animals got loose from the zoo and
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: there was like just a giraffe walking down the bab Yeah,
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: and I the tarp and I.
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: Yes, I said that one too. There was another one
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: with tart pit. Was it the same episode? No, it wasn't. No,
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: thank you, okay, I'm telling you.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: I am in I am in this. I love this show.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: And what I think. So what I was afraid of
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: I was like, I was asking Michael and C I'm like,
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: is he taking his this show really seriously?
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Because I don't.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid to explain that A part of the reason
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: why I love the show is the campiness.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: Absolutely of the show.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: Is that this stuff seems so it's so ridiculous that
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: it is incredibly entertaining, and I am.
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: Locked into it.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: I'm so glad, I really am, and I genuinely love it.
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: I have to say, like genuinely it is.
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: First of all, everyone on it is like so lovely
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: and nice, and we were about to go into our
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: tenth season starting in October, which is so it's like
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: a very well oiled machine, except when it comes to
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: it's just so exciting to get that script.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Every time, it'd be like, what's happened?
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's so, and it's like and you know, and
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: I think we were saying early it's like sometimes there
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: are like a few things in there that like have
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: a sprinkling of truth. Yes, Like I remember one Jennifer
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: loved to her character was in postpartum.
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, that was really interesting. Your character had a really
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: interesting episode where I think you were flashedback, you met,
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: you came across your attacker, right, that was a really.
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: Interesting And then but then they took what happened, They
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: took the nine on one Center hostage, and then I
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: was taking hostage.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, Michael, yeah, no, take a tip. It was
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: this is like the Iranian hostage crisis of seventy two.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: It was. It was interesting.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: And then and then there are things are like insane,
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Like I was telling Michael and CJ. One of my
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: other favorite episodes is like this guy stuck his hands
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: in a wood chipper and you think immediately I'm like,
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: oh god, yeah, let me guess his hand's gonna.
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: Get chopped up. No, no, no, that's not what happens.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: His ring gets sucked up into it somehow, and he's like, oh,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: I'm okay, but my ring is off and him and
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: his dad are playing golf, and all of a sudden,
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: the ring comes careening out of the wood chipper and
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: lodges itself into this man's throat.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and now he's all like, you never know.
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, that is true. They do a lot of
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: fake outs like that. I mean, if everything's okay in
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: that horrible situation and then bam.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: And then if I had a dollar for every time
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: a ring flew out of a wood chipper, I gotta
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: tell you, I gotta tell you. Yeah.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: Another time there was a wedding episode, see I really
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: like it, MADD's wedding or different wedding, A different wedding.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: It was a different wedding.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: And then a plane flew over it and a dead body, yes,
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: out of the plane and like landed and it was frozen.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Yes, can I tell you? Yes?
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: It would be if I knew that was going to happen,
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: it would be the only wedding I would ever r
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: s vps.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes, it would be that, don't send a gift
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: to that one. No, you gotta go. Yeah, absolutely, I
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: want the shrimp cocktail.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: No, I'm glad you appreciate it in that way because
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: people can enjoy it on like various levels, and it's
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: the it's the.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: I think what I love is like the campiness and
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: also like the fact that Angela Bassett and then and
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: then like I'm so sorry that I don't remember his name,
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: but he's he's now, he's gone, he died.
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Peter.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I loved him when he was on the Six
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: Feet under right, and then and also the Lone Star one.
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: With I mean Rob, the heart throb of my youth.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: Come on, I know, it's fully a joy to work
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: on it. I'm so happy you watch it. I really
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: do watch it, and I really do love it. I'm glad.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: It must be very fun to film. It's so fun.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Does everyone who's sorry go ahead?
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: No, I was just gonna say it's so fun to film,
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: but you really are. It's just funny when you're when
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: you're being directed and you're acting it because you really
• 59:21
  Speaker 4: are taking it very seriously. Otherwise camp doesn't work, you
• 59:23
  Speaker 4: know what I mean? Yeah, so you really actually all
• 59:26
  Speaker 4: are giving it. You're all and like being just worked
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: up and devastated by these situations.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: So it is in that way it can be not
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: difficult to shoot, but it is it wears on you
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you know. Yeah, I mean it's still
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: like a really hard job even though then, but it's
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: so fun.
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: It was a reality show that I was watching where
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: it's like people they don't meet each other, but they
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: fall in love behind. So I don't watch things like that,
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: but my friend made me watch it, and I I
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: found myself getting a little bit invested. And then I
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: was like, you know what, I'm not going to watch
• 1:00:08

• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Friend tells you they're a life coach.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: Now, oh gosh, so mad, so mad, so mad always
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: the friend who should not be coaching anyone always, and that.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: The really the journey is typically like friend personal trainer.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: No such thing as the mood landing like.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: The journey Kem Trails exactly staged. It's true that the
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: journey for the results CrossFit. Yeah, vaccines give you auto
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: like coach. Yeah, that's the track. Someone wrote in with
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: and said that he was working out a nel salon
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: and someone booked a full fifty minute manicure, but she
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: only had one arm, and then so they went crazy
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: style on the one hand, right, and then she asked
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: for a fifty percent discount after and it's divided our audience. Yeah,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: and now we have become the place where people ask
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: their disability, their one limb questions. Can I say something
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: having never ever had a manicure? You've never had a manicure.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever had. What should I do?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: You don't what I mean to do?
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: I have all these plans for after this week because
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: my show finishes this Yeah, all these plans and go
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: to a spa.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go to your masseuse. I'm going to
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: go to your acupuncturist. I'm going to go. I'm going
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: Even better, I'm going to go and I'll go get
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: a manicure. Okay, Yeah, yes, and pedicure.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: I'll do both.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: But my feeling is this, and this is a blind guess.
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: If you're already doing one hand, doesn't the other hand
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 4: only take like ten more minutes? No, because I was
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: going to say, if it's the same amount of time,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: now do eighty minutes on one hand and ten on
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 4: the other. It doesn't make sense when you think about it.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: But if you don't think about it for a second,
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: I was like, if they're already doing one, maybe the
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: other one.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Is like they sneak it and they can get bogot.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: But okay, if that's not the case, then I believe
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 4: she should have paid or they should have paid fifty
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: percent less. However, I do think that that person also
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: should have called beforehand and said, like do you give
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: I have one?
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: I only need it on one hand?
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: Do you give fifty percent and shopped around that way,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: or like do you get a break for just if
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 4: I just one hand?
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably should have done that.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: I never think you accept a service and then haggle afterwards,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: to the haggle upfront, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 4: You know that from being in New York for so long.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: Excuse me, you've been here. Are you kidding to town?
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: He came in with the Chinatown knockoff. I did all
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: the backpath. Yeah, the boo boo.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 4: I'm the worst Negotia. Honestly, you'll China go name your
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: worst price. Yes, yeah, man, you got it to hire.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: Believe this.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: This Vatada tells for three thousand. I got it for
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: twenty eight hundred.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Okay. We had an episode where Michael's friend Ben, who's
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: not my friend, he's a bartender, came on and I
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: am a lightweight admittedly, so by the end of this episode,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: I drank half of Michael's drink and my drink. Oh
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: they made you. He made you a drink this guy.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: Okay, nice he did, and people keep on saying Melissa
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: needs to drink more.

• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: what kind of lawyers should tans people get right now?

• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: you know, like ninety percent current people in nice custody.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Very serious question, Thank you for asking. It does kind
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: of like depend on what the issue is if you're
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: if you aren't immigrant and you're concerned about getting detained. Definitely,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: someone who specializes in immigration law. But if it it
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: sort of I guess depends think about like the subject matter, right,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: is this landlord tenant kind of dispute? Is a potential
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: criminal charge? That would be the kind of lawyer you're specializing,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: do you ever you're looking for.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know anything about how like TLDF works or
