• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I just don't have the drive, you know, that's the problem.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I tried it once, and the problem is I only
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: have this.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: No, but that's fine.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It's monetary, but it doesn't, I can't do.

  Speaker 1: with you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Wait till they see what you're wearing on the video podcast.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: What's going on? We were both, before we started, you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: were dressed just as terribly as me. Yes, I was.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And then you went, because you have a wardrobe privilege here. Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And then you went and got like a full-on designer,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: you're wearing Ferragamo suit. These are $ 1, 200 shoes. And now
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I look like I'm just on the bus.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you came off the bus.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And I have no way to get, I can't refine it.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: What am I going to do? Take the hoodie off?
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'll look worse.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Well, you're wearing a polo. At least you're wearing a collar.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: There is a collar. There's probably stains. I don't even know.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Don't take this the wrong way, but I mean, you know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you do look like a writer, comedy writer.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That's true. We're supposed to be kind of.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: That's the vibe, yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Quirky, that type of thing.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Quirky and, you know, focus on the craft.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Right, right. I'm just in my head, man, thinking up ideas,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: speaking up. Should we segue into... What were we talking about?
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: The news that we missed.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: So this week we had FBI Director Kash Patel went
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to Hawaii.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yep, yep.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And he got a VIP snorkel trip at the Pearl
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Harbor Memorial.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Interesting.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Now, that's a weird place to snorkel. The memorial?
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. I mean, I don't know.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: It's like throwing a birthday party at the 9-11 snorkeling.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: As someone who goes to Hawaii a lot, specifically Oahu,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: which is where the Pohaba Memorial is, I mean, yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I guess... if you're in Hawaii, you do go snorkeling.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, if my only thing is what was,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: what's his duty? What was he doing in Hawaii? Why
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the FBI doesn't need to be in Hawaii.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: They're going to crack open the case on the Pearl Harbor, uh, attack.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: We're this close to finding out who did this.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So, so I, I don't mind, uh, I guess
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: people need vacations, but Yeah, I just want to know
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: why is this. Is this an official duty thing? Is this,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you know, what was he doing in Hawaii? Was he,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I just need more details on this.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: They do get it. Have you ever been snorkeling?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Snorkeling, yes. Snorkeling, yes.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I did it once. I had a panic attack.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to get over it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Because you have nothing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: You have nothing and you have a tube in your mouth.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And it only works if you're like right at the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: surface anyway.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes. And even the new age ones, I don't
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: know if you've seen the new age snorkels where it's
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a whole mask and the tube sticks out the middle
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of the head. So versus the traditional snorkel that we
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: think about where it's a visor and then a tube
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: coming out of your mouth. There's one that covers your
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: entire face so that it's supposed to be easier to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: use so you can breathe normally because it's not just
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: your mouth. But guess what? That thing causes carbon dioxide
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: poisoning because it doesn't work properly. You can't win. You
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: can't win.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Stay safe out there. Yeah.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: If you're trying to snorkel in Oahu, what else do
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you do? If you're in Hawaii, what's the must-do?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: If you're in Hawaii, the only thing you must do
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: is give out the energy that you want to receive.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Because that's what happens in Hawaii. If you give out
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: shitty energy in Hawaii, they will beat the shit out
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of you. You remember that guy threw the rock at
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the monk seal? oh this didn't reach your algorithm no
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: no so this guy this white guy from Seattle threw
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: a rock at like an endangered seal in Hawaii and
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: he was kind of really like whatever guys I'll pay
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the fine and then the next video of him was
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: him getting his ass beat by Hawaii justice so you
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: know Hawaii the only thing you must do is you
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: get the energy that you give out and if you're
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: nice in Hawaii people will give it to you double
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: and if you're not nice in Hawaii they will give
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it to you double too But to answer your question specifically,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I know you're asking more about.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I know. I was like, what about Tom's Barbecue or something?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I know. You could go for a hike. And Hawaii
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: is all about going for hikes. You know, everything else
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: is kind of whatever. But go for the secret waterfall hikes.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: That's what you got to do in Hawaii. That's my tip.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: That is a good tip. You know, today's sponsor is Hawaii.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Hawaii Waterfalls.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: The island nation of Hawaii.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Our state. No, it's a state. It's a state now,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: isn't it? We're really up to current events here at
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: What else is happening? Eurovision.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Eurovision.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So Eurovision, for those of you, the American viewers, is
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: a very intense song. It's kind of like American Idol,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: but for songs.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Is that how you would describe it?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Isn't American Idol for songs?
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: No, that's for singers. Oh, but what? American Idol is like,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I'm an idol. I'm the singer that you're going to,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Kelly Clarkson.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I never thought of it like that.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Eurovision, although you're right because the group is
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: also presenting the song, but it's really like, here's the song.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Of our country. That's an interesting distinction because I didn't
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: think about it like that. The reason I know anything
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: about Eurovision is because for some reason it's big in Australia.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: And why is Australia? They couldn't be further away. What
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: are they butting their heads into?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So Eurovision, they would broadcast it in Australia for many,
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: many years. It would be like on the free-to-air thing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: And I think because Australia has the largest population of
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Greeks outside of Greece, they have like, I'm pretty sure
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the largest, maybe the second largest population of Italians outside
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: of Italy and America. So they have a very, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: they're very European. If you've been to Australia, it just
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: feels very European. Yeah. It's closer to Europe than it
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: is America. Well, at least until recently. So I think
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it really found an audience there. And then I remember
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: just before I came over to America 10 years ago,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: they sent a team to join Eurovision. So they didn't participate.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: They just were like a very happy audience watching it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: And then they were like, hey, you love Eurovision? Hey,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Come join in. So they send Australian to Eurovision.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And one thing that was interesting about Eurovision, when I
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: watched it, again, this is over 10 years ago, in Australia, Eurovision,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: they would, you know how it's like brackets, right? So
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: it'd be first round, second round, semifinals, finals. It's a competition.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: They would do the same song.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole time through.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Isn't that weird?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: That is weird.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd think, well, give us another one. Because then
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it's hard to keep voting for the same thing. Like, oh, yeah,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we still like this.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: But I guess they only bring like one or two, right?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, they bring... When I saw it, they brought one.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe if they went to the finals, maybe they had
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a second one. I don't remember that. But how do
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: you know anything about Eurovision?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I barely... I just want to say I barely know anything.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but how do you even know anything about it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Who's the big... Is.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: ABBA win Eurovision?
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Is that what it was?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Is that like the one group that ever crossovered?
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: 45 years ago?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I think there's been a few.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: ABBA and I think Celine Dion. Celine Dion?
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: But she's Canadian. Well, she's not even Canadian. She's Quebecois.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: She's Quebecois.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Here we go. Here we go with the.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: We're Googling it. We know she's Quebecois. She won 1988. See,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: we should have had more of like a... How come?
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Has America... Does America.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Representing Switzerland?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Celine Dion?
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: How is she representing Switzerland? Under what context was she
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: representing Switzerland?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Very bizarre. What?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You can just send Celine Dion as Switzerland?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Maybe they drafted her.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: They drafted her?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They're like, we want to stay neutral.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know the other thing about Eurovision? I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: don't think the UK sends anyone.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: The UK is very weird about not being European.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I understand. I know. But I'm just saying they did.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: They're right there.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They're right there.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And they have the best songwriters. Yeah.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Right? They got the pipes. They sent Adele. Adele.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Susan Boyle. Susan Boyle. You know? Get in there. They
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: should have sent Susan Boyle that one year. We were
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: all impressed with Susan.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, they should have sent, what's the boy band?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: One Dimension.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: One Dimension? One Dimension.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: One Direction. We are really bad.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I did an unintentional slam on them.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: One Dimension. One Dimension.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Sorry, One Direction. One Direction. There was a time I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: ran into Harry Styles twice within 24 hours in Los Angeles.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Once at Cafe 101. We were both leaving at the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: same time. I didn't know who he was.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: He just was a person, but we were the only
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: two people in there. It was very late at night.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Then the next day, we're at Trails Cafe in.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Griffith Park.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I go to get a coffee. He's there, the same guy.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I still don't know who he is, but it's like...
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I ran into you literally. We were the only two
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: people at that cafe, and now we're standing in this
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: other one getting coffee, broad daylight, and there was a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: commotion around him. And I'm like, is this a famous person?
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And he had a rose tattoo on his shoulder, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I Googled it, and it was Harry Styles.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Right, but did you guys give each other like a
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: head nod at least?
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it was so bizarre because I clearly
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't stalking him because it was so random.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Right, and you are you.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I didn't know who he was.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Right, but he must have been like, well, this is
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: so bizarre.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: But he did give you a bit of acknowledgement.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I think he was just like, what's happening? Right, right.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: In his head, I might have been like a CIA.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: There must have been something weird with what was going on.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: When you saw him, you didn't think he's extremely good
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: looking and.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: No, he wasn't. He was very cool. Right.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: And so his vibe, you're like, this guy's someone famous. Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And then because the first time I saw him, it
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: was just the two of us. We were different. We're
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: not eating together, but we're the only two people in
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: that restaurant.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: And then this time it was in public and there
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: were like 30 people around. And it was getting very
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: chattery the way, you know, when it's like there's a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: famous person and no one wants to say anything, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: everyone's got a different demeanor. You get that all the time.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I get that all the time. So just to explore
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: this Eurovision thing, if America was to send someone to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: try to sweep this, take over Eurovision.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Can we send Taylor Swift?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, if we send Taylor Swift, we would crush it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: You think we win? I feel like the Euro... They
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: would vote against us on principle.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, they would vote on principle. But because now you're
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: just playing for the clips, right? So you will win
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: on the internet. But also... Eurovision interesting you brought up
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: the singer song thing because I know what you mean
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: by Eurovision is more focused on the song because they
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: put a lot of production value into the song it's
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: like costumes there's like lighting design and Taylor Swift Taylor
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Swift that's what she does she has that you know
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: she's got.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: The thing she's got that it factor you.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Know can you imagine if America sent like you know
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar or someone like a.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Hip hop I know we could do it yeah we
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: could have they had a hip hop.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: No Well, not that I know of. They probably have, like,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Irish hip-hop or something.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Eurovision, I will say this, and, you know, leave your
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: hate in the comments, but European songs, they're a little
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: in the same lane all the time, right?
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: A little bit anthemy. A little bit like national anthems.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: A little bit. You know? They sound a little bit
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: like national anthems.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just kind of like... They have... And it's
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: very synth-heavy.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: They kind of have, like, a sound.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they do have a sound. You know? That's fair.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: That's fair. To have a Euro sound?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You know, a Euro beat? I think I could win
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Euro beat. We don't need to send Taylor, okay? I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: think I could go do this.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, this is cool, man. I like it. I'm not
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a hater. I'm like... You're not a hater. I try
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: not to be a hater with art, you know?
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: Right. I've caused an international calamity with my comments probably on.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: What, on this? Yeah. No, it's okay. Europeans aren't listening
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to this.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be a little bit... we're going to
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: be in trouble, Ronnie, internationally on this episode of the podcast.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I like it. I like that they have a thing
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: and it's Euro and it's different to America. You know,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: it's like, it's cool. It's all these continents feel like
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: different planets to me in a good way. You know,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it's like when you go to Southeast Asia, it's like
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a different planet, you know, it's, it's true.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: It's different.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: You go Euro, it's a different planet. It's what they
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: do there. They, they sing the same song six times
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to win a competition. And, You know, it's got this
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: very distinct beat. It's cool.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: It is true. Europe, everything's a little weird. You know,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: like weird to us.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: You know, just because it's different.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I did my first comedy tour of Europe. First
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: ever last year. And it was eye-opening. It was great.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: They serve food. it's like a quarter of the serving
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: of American size. And you look at it and you're like,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: is this a war ration? Why is it so small?
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: You eat it and you're like, oh, this is the
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: perfect amount.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: Right, because it's like half of its heavy cream. Yeah.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: No, they just knew the old world, they didn't have
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: unlimited resources. And so their serving size was reasonable. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: in America, we've got so much abundance. They feel like
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: to have a meal, you need four times the amount
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: that you're supposed to have. But you don't, so.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: That's true. And now we're all on Ozempic.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Now we're on Ozempic, yeah.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe we're going to go Euro style.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: So Euro style.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: It wins out in the end. Eventually the European portion
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: size is what we're all going to adopt. Yeah, yeah.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Europe, it's like, you know how their outlets
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: are just a little different?
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Like that's for everything.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And their phone numbers have like question marks in them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Phone number will be like 18 letters in a number, right? Yeah.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Anyway, Bulgaria, we love you. Friend of
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the show. And I'll be in Sofia. See, I know
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: the capital of Bulgaria, which how many people could?
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Not many people.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Watch that if you're wrong. I think that's the city. Anyway, Eurovision.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Let's move on to Luxmaxer.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Clavicular got mogged recently. Not mugged. Mogged. By a Chad
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: judge in Miami.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So, all of these words, this is like a new vocabulary.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this sentence, I truly did not know what any
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: of these words meant.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Other than Miami.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Miami, yeah. We'll use that as a key and we'll
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: work around that. So looks maxer clavicular. Yeah. Mogged by
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Chad Judge.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: So what he is, is he's a looks maxer.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Meaning he's trying to be as good looking as he
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: can possibly be. I'm a looks minner. You know, I really,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I lean in the other way. I'm just, I don't
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: know what's going on. I haven't seen my own hair
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in weeks. So I don't know what's going on. But
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: he was in court. Do we know why he was
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: in court?
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know why he was in court. Oh, oh,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Alan told me this before the show. He was in
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: court because he shot an alligator.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: He shot an alligator?
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I'm guessing for the internet?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Well, that is a.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Or was it self-defense?
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Self-defense, I mean, that's a good case.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Sure, sure.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: You know? Because an alligator, they're going to get you.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I'm glad that he's going to court for this, but
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I am surprised that it's illegal to shoot an alligator
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in Miami. I thought they would just let it, you know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: You thought they would let it fly?
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Let it fly, yeah.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: You know? I just want to know, did somebody help
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: the alligator and perhaps render Gatorade? Leave your comments below
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in the YouTube.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Leave your comments in the thing. We'll never see any
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: What a strange thing.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: So anyway, back to, you know, the theme of this
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: topic is that the judge, who I'm assuming put in
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: no effort, looks better than this dude who, He broke
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: his facial bones to looks max.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He's full-timing trying to look as good as possible. And
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: then the judge, who has a law degree, slaps on
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a black robe, steals the show.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe some bride cream. That's it.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: That's all he's got. And he looks good. That's the
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: real punishment. He doesn't even care about the verdict after that.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: He just knows he's got mogged. Poor Calavicular. What's his
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: legal name? He can't show up to court like that, right?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Clavicula?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Your Honor, my client, Clavicula.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, maybe he changed it. Maybe he changed it to, oh, Braden.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Braden Eric Peters.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Three first names. Last time I read about Clavicula, I
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: thought he OD'd on meth because he OD'd on camera
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: So I'm surprised. The next time I heard about him,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: he was in court and looking.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Shooting an alligator, no less. I mean, he rebounded, right?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Rebounded, really? Yeah. He rebounded really well.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's doing all right. Good for you, Clavicular.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: We wish you well in your quest to max. Oh,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: you know what? We've got to look ahead, too. So
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: on the podcast, on the pre-cap, we don't just review
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: what happened. We look ahead to what might happen. And
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: this week, when you're hosting, we have a couple things
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: going on. We have Stephen Colbert's final week of show's
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: hosting the late show on cbs yes yes so i
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: don't know how many years it had to have been
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: at least.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: 10 10 yeah he because he started the show when
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: i started here wow so 10 maybe 11 i remember
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: he uh legendary correspondent uh great satire with the colbert
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: report you know the kind of satire where like both
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: sides of the political spectrum would both watch the show
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: and get something else out of it he took over
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the late show and you know I he was always
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: very nice to me he actually let me on the
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: couch he was the first person in America to let
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: me sit on a couch.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: Anywhere not even just on TV we're very protective of
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the living room furniture how many times have you done
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the late show? Only once.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: That was the only time he let me on. And
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I was super grateful. He was very kind to me.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Did you do this? You did a set?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: No, I sat. I was a guest.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You just came straight out.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: I was a guest. Yeah, I was a guest on
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the show, which a little bit of showbiz behind the scenes.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: They don't let dirty comics be guests on late shows.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: You know, you go sing for your supper. But Colbert
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: was like, he let me sit on the couch with him,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: which was very nice, you.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Know, so.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: And I remember it was a weird, the universe was
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: weird because a couple months before I got, I was
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a guest on the late show of Colbert, I was
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: doing a show in Boston. It was the day after
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: Trump got elected. And I was literally like, you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a day after. So I was doing the show and
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: we were talking about it on, on, on, at this
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: standup show in Boston. After the show, someone came up
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: to me and gave me this Colbert wristband that apparently
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Colbert gave out 10 years before then. So it's 20
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: years at this point. And he gave it out to people.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: And the bit on the Colbert report at that time
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm going to give this to people. And
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: then the mission is to get these wristbands back to me.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: You have to figure out how to pass it on
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: back to me, Colbert. So this guy came up to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: me after the show and he's like, Hey, I got
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: this wristband from the Colbert report. And he, The idea
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: is to give it back to Colbert. And so I'll
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: give it to you because he gave it to me
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: because he said I would have a better chance of
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: meeting him.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: And at that time, I didn't think I was going
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: to meet Colbert, but I just took it. And then
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: I went on the Colbert report, the late show, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: I gave it to him.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And he was like, what's this?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: He was like, what is this? He was like, I
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: don't know what this is. And you know those wristbands
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: that are cool, the silicone wristbands that were like cool
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: 20 years ago?
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Right, the Lance Armstrongs.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Lance Armstrongs. They don't age well. They don't
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: age well.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Wet?
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, gooey?
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Like wet. If you touch the Livestrong shit now, they're
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: like wet. So it was like this disintegrating silicon thing.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: It's probably toxic. And I gave it back to him.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: And he looked at it. He was like, oh, yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: And I think he probably threw it away. And then
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: the other thing that Colbert was really good about was
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: that there's actually a chain letter that gets passed from
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: correspondent to correspondent. of Colbert advice on how to be
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: a correspondent. And he dictated it. And I think Rob
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Riggle wrote it down and gave it to Klepper who
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: gave it to me. And it's this chain letter of
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: how to be a correspondent on a daily show. It's
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: like 15 dot points.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah. That's kind of a secret insider knowledge there.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It's like when you write letters to the president.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I never heard of that letter. And then you've held
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: on to it not to give it to anyone else.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: No, I gave it to them. I sent it to
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the other correspondents, the guys who joined the show. I
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: always send it to them. I feel a little weird
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: saying it to them because it feels like a little culty, but.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: it's good advice about how to, you know, be a
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: correspondent on the show.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Is there any tidbit you can, is it secret? I
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: feel like we're not allowed to talk about it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: No, it's not that secret. It's, um, you know, it's very,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: very practical stuff. Like tape is free.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: So keep taping. Meaning when you're doing a field piece,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: just keep going. It's, it's, it's okay. Don't stress. It's
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: not a live show.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Um, he said stuff like, uh, yeah, to do satire
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: really well, you kind of have to, you kind of
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: have to leave your conscience hanging. on a coat hanger
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: in the office. Right. You can't, you can't bring it
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: with you. Um, yeah, just stuff like that, you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: pretty mean stuff to do satire in America. You kind
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: of have to be a bit, you know, you have
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: to be a bit fearless. So he was basically, you know,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: espousing those values and, um, no, he was, he was great.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: What were you promoting? Were you promoting like a movie
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: or was it a daily show?
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I think it was daily show. I didn't have, there
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: was no reason he, he, he should have had me
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: on the couch and he did. Because he was being
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: nice to alumni.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: What was the green room like? That's the Ed Sullivan Theater.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Ed Sullivan, legendary theater.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: The Beatles.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: The Beatles, Letterman.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So you played the same room as the Beatles. I guess.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: And it's a dream for all comics. I mean, of,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: I guess, our generation. We're just under that generation. But
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: to be on Letterman.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: And we never got to do it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, here's my Letterman story. Just to tell you,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: so you can gauge the level of comic I am.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Kumail got on Letterman. So I went to go in
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the audience because I knew Kumail.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: So I went to go see the taping of Letterman.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: And I was leaving. I was going to Europe a
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: few days later. So I was backstage and I took
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: some cardboard boxes so I could pack something. I was
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: moving and I took cardboard boxes from the Ed Sullivan
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: Theater to pack.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: So.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: There's two different ends of the spectrum of show business, right?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: You know, you have your... Colbert's sending me letters, and me,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking for loose cardboard to move out of
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: my studio apartment.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Where did you find the cardboard?
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: It was just in the backstage. At the time, when
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Letterman was there, it was really kind of run down,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: like the theater area. Yes, yes. And it was just,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: there were all these cardboard boxes, and I was like,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: can I take some of these? That's my brush with, like,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: You know, TV fame.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: And were they useful?
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, honestly. And I remember that.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I don't even remember the taping. But I do remember
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: being like, wow, this is where the Beatles were and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: all that stuff.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's cool. Showbiz is cool. Also, there's Hello Deli.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Next to, right on the same building as Letterman.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Right. Angelo's Pizza.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Angelo's Pizza is there. But Hello Deli is more famous
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: because Rupert G... the owner of the deli would get
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: on Letterman.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, right, right, right.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: So I would go there just to order like sandwiches.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: They're like Asian people. So I'm still friends with them.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I'm still friends with Rupert G and I think it's
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: his wife. I'm not sure, but this is an Asian woman.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: She loves comedy. I always invite her to my shows
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: and all that. Oh, wow.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Look at that. Yeah. See? So yeah, Colbert's last episode, Thursday.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know why they're getting rid of the show.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? I'm always a fan of
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: American comedy institutions.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, right.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Just putting it out there, even as a loss leader
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: marketing show to promote your movies.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Right. Oh, right. As part of the conglomerate of Paramount.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: To be able to say, we're here in a big
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: theater in Manhattan.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: You get a crowd every night?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: You get a crowd every night who are excited to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: be there. Also, by the way, I mean, you know,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: obviously we're biased, but I think there is something about
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that late show format that's not only very American, but
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: it's actually very entertaining. Like making topical jokes of the day, right?
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Like that's, it's fun. Like it's, if you actually watch it,
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: it's fun when people are doing like a monologue. It's
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: about the day's topics. It's funny. It's what, you know,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: it's lighthearted. I mean, I know the internet has replaced
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of that, but I'm just saying, I don't know.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I just don't get it. Keep it going.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's good variety. You get Music X come on.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a variety show.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: You get some actors. You get to hear them talk.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: All I can tell you guys is The Daily Show
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: will be on.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: We're still kicking.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, every week moving forward. Right?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Until this episode of the podcast is going to crater
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the whole You jinxed it. Yeah, they're going to be like,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: we got too many negative comments about a writer that
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: nobody knows.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: With a host that nobody knows.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What's your IMDB star meter ring?
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I don't... Are you top 100?
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what that is.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: That's how high... That's big. That's big star level if
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: you don't even know. I know mine.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Jeez. Yours is a cardboard box.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my... My photo.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Alan, don't Google it. I don't want
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: to know. I don't want to know. I don't want
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: to know this thing. Don't do it. Don't do it.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want to know. Let me see. You need
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: to have premium just so you know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: We don't have premium, so we can't afford it here.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: We can't afford premium.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Don't do it.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: But, I mean, look at these photos. This is a page.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: This is a page of a very high-ranked person. We're
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: seeing candids. We got posed portraits.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Look at these credits. Oof. Woo.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, look at the ratings.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You're in Devil Wears Prada, too? Yeah. As yourself?
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, my God. That is a... Dude, that's the flex
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: of maybe all year. As yourself in Devil... Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Don't look down at your popcorn. You're going to miss it.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I'm there for like two seconds, so.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: That's incredible. That's out in theaters now, right? What else
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: do we promote?
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: Nah, it's all right.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I feel like I forgot what I'm supposed to do.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: You're supposed to talk about.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: What else is happening?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: So, Trump is... He's kind of getting involved in the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: local Republican primary elections.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Right. Trump is getting upset because he's getting scorned by
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: certain Republicans and he wants revenge on them.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: So they have primaries and he wants to run someone
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: against them.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: He's going out of his way to.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Right. Totally unnecessary. It's already a Republican who has the thing,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't like the person.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: So he's running... to those people he dislikes.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I, so what I don't understand is that
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: isn't this one, it's actually kind of surprising that he
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: is successfully getting these guys out because the people he's
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: getting out are quite respected Republican senators and congressmen, I think.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Right. So I don't know much about Bill Cassidy.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: He's a senator, I think.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: But these are like These are like veterans, you know
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: what I mean? These aren't like, these guys have been
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: there a little while.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, it does speak to the political process that
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: the incumbents rarely get primaried. Right. You know? Right. It
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: just rarely happens. So, in this case, Bill Cassidy, who's
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the Louisiana Republican, who voted for Trump's impeachment. is going
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to get replaced with a new MAGA forward. Yeah. Who
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who it is.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, I mean, my question is like, wouldn't
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: this make it harder for the Republicans to win the
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: actual election? Because if you have like a kookier guy... I.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Guess it depends. Like in Louisiana... It's very likely that
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: the Republicans are going to win no matter what. Because
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: it's not really a swing state. Right, right, right, right.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know where Thomas Massey is. Oh, but he's...
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: He's Kentucky. He's Kentucky. So the Republican will probably win
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: that too. Right, right. So in those cases, I think it's...
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: But there were times... Remember they had that guy Roy Moore?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Was that Louisiana? Or Alabama?
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: It was Alabama. It was Alabama.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: And they're like, Roy Moore.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: I remember Charles Barkley was involved in that.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: He was?
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: He was campaigning for the Democrats in Alabama.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: And I think the Democrat then won. He didn't.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I can't remember.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: It's always tough to get us off script on politics
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: stuff because we don't know.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: We don't know anything.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Most of our day is spent Googling.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: You know what, Alan? That was a mistake to even
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: bring up this topic. We tried.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go back to a cat falls off a
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: roof in a viral video. Oh, Daily Show and Tell.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: This is our final segment. Where what we do is
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: we go over things that we've been watching, reading, or
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: listening to. Or something that's just been on your mind lately. Ronnie,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: has anything been of interest?
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I was in Syracuse, I think it was. New York
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: doing a stand-up show. And my thing is I'll go
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: to used bookstores in every... town i perform in just
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: to take a look around and you know i found
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: this book from 1992 that was about the presidential election
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: though the title is weird i think it's like quest
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: 1992 presidential election it's by the newsweek journalists so it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: written by a team of journalists um and but it's
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: written it like this goes back to you know the
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: skill set of writing because is written like a narrative. So,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: it's entertaining. I mean, look, it's obviously very political, so
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: if you're not into politics, you probably think it's boring,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: but the way it's written is not like an academic paper.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: It's written like a narrative. They're telling the story of
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: the 1992 election, you know, Bush Sr. coming off of
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: the victory in Iraq, thinking he's riding high as an incumbent,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: and getting, you know, upset, this upset victory, upset loss,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: by Trump, Bill Clinton, a young upstart that no one
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: actually thought would win at the time. So I'm reading
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: this book and I'm reading the first few pages and
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: they're describing an America that's where people are unhappy at
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: both parties, where the populace thinks that there's not even
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: two parties. They just think it's the same party, you know,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: doing essentially the same thing but they just seem to be,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: they're just calling themselves two.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Different- Two factions of the business party.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: As Noam Chomsky would put it.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Yes. And they also are upset at the professional class
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: of kind of civil servant in America. They see these
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: people as not great leaders- and this upstart billionaire third-party
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: candidate who is immensely popular as an independent third-party candidate.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: I'm reading the book, and the situation is laying out.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: It's like, it might as well be 2024.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Honestly. So.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Things are just... They never really change that much, huh?
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I think, you know, the perspective it gave me,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the book was something like, as unprecedented as we think
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: things are, I mean, they probably aren't, you know? Right.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: There's always....
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: There's probably historical lessons we can draw upon, you know,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: even though America is a very young country, 250 years
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: old this year. I think there's a lot that we
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: can draw upon in terms of making a better future
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: just based on our recent history, 1992.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Right, it is true. I mean, I was watching an
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: episode of Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher on YouTube. And
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: it was the same thing of like, I cannot believe
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: these are the same topics we're talking about 25, 30
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: years later. And it was like gender on college campuses.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: It was even the stuff that you think is really.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: So this episode was like 20 years old.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: This was from like the late 90s or something. And
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: they're like, oh, we're doing like non-binary genders. And it
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: was like, what? I thought this was like fresh and hip.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: They've been talking about this for 35 years.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting. Like, you notice that they, you know,
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: sometimes people get on Hollywood for repackaging and rebooting.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: And it's like, we're rebooting, like, literally all the issues
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: we ever get upset about. It's like, we could go
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: back to the 1960s.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And I wonder what the lesson is from that,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: you know, because unfortunately, I haven't finished the book yet. So, I.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: The lesson is probably that we never solve any problem.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we never solve anything. Or the lesson... Okay, how
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: about this for a lesson?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That things.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: aren't as bad as they seem. Right.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: They're hyped for engagement.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: And they've been doing that for a long time. Yes.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Just, you know, drink electrolytes, read books, vote properly, and.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Everything will be okay. And watch Eurovision. Watch Eurovision. All right. Okay. Well,
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: I think we've successfully navigated that. Only a few scandals
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: we had, right?
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Hopefully, yeah, we might get this whole channel get taken
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: off YouTube.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Right. There were some rough spots, but it was mostly me.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: And I think you'll weather the storm. All right. That's
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: all the time we have for the pre-cap. I'm David Angelo.
