  Speaker 3: since the little speed bump of the global pandemic that
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: kind of stopped us from being in a recording studio.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: We're not in the backyard. I feel like a feral
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: cat in the house. I feel this is going to
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: be an adjustment period. We've all got to just brace ourselves.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: But eventually I'll stop clawing the furniture. Everything will work
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: out and will feel great, and then there'll be video.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: That's the big deal here. Everyone's got to have a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: video at this point, so we'll see how all of
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: this goes. What's going on? What is happening in my life? Well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: I drove half an hour today to an appointment that
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: canceled ten minutes before the appointment, So I just let
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: that ruin my entire day, just let that kind of
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: seep in. But I did get two gorgeous loads of
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: laundry done. I'm on top of things. We're in the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: studio and we should just let's get into the podcast.

• 2:01
  Speaker 3: welcome to so Bridget.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: What is this you mentioned about a global pandemic. Oh,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm familiar with that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Well, it was a hoax, so you're probably more on
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: top of the Yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I travel a lot, so I just I wasn't aware
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: of something had happened.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: We were on a lot of planes, were a lot.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I was up in the air a lot, So I
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: really don't know what happened down here. I don't like
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to know what goes on down here. So it all
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: worked out for me.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Well, I wish I could say the same for myself,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: but I made it through, and thank God for my
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: I was just telling you the backyard, which I feel
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: like the listener is probably going to be screaming about
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: for a while. Get back to the backyard. We'll just
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: see what happened.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: For those who are listening, and I know you're saying,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: this is one of the first, if not the first
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: time you're in this studio first time. This is a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: gorgeous studio. The building is gorgeous. This is I know
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: nothing about your backyard. Maybe it too was gorgeous. I
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: can't speak to it, but I can tell you, listener,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: this is quite the setup, like really producing and microphones
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and all the good stuff.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: It's too all the good stuff.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It is a lot. The building is amazing when you
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: want enormous, so normous.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: My god, I could hide in here.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You could hide in here. And I, for one, I'm
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: glad I'm not sweating in your backyard. So that's that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: not that's me, that's Jim O'Hare. Others might be negative
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: about that. I am on board with not being in
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: your backyard.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: What can I do to get you sweating in my backyard?
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Wow? Others, well, let's see twenty bucks. I'll use you
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: do most anything. Ha. Yeah, my only fans, you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. Other people, there are some people will
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: pay me the sweat. There's a whole community out there.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I don't judge. I don't judge.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, you'll be getting a request I'm gonna I
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: will be signing up your only fans. I'm going to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: be making big demands, huge, disgusting.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: And for twenty bucks, I engage all of them. Yes,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: so just so people know.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Well, that's good to know, very good information. I am nothing.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I tried to open it only fans. They wouldn't let me.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: They literally said, no, this is where we this is
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: where we draw the line. A site they will let
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: anyone do anything said no, no, this is where we
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: draw the line.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: I ran into the same problem. I created a burner
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: account and I am producing a lot of content. There's
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: some explicit material just pouring onto the entry.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I need access, I need excess.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Well, it's free. People will not pay.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: People aren't even paying.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: No, but I am thinking about trying to sneak in
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: here and stay the night. You should think that would
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: be a nice little surprise for everybody.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: It would be a lovely surprise, and it's temperate. You'd
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: be very comfortable.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: What a way to lose my contract?
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Oh a contract? Boy? Aren't you fancy?
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Wow? You have a podcast?
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: You have a contract Parks and recollection. Apparently I do
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: they pay me? I don't know. I guess I signed something.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I am just this is not this is sad, but
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it's true. I am terrible about business. I'm terrible about contracts.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Today I had to sign something and I didn't read it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, I trust everybody around me, which I
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: know will not hold up in court when I'm being
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: sued for god knows what. But I started reading it
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: says the party of the first part, party of the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: second and clause thirteen. B oh no no no, no, no, no,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: no no. I trust that the people who are there
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to take care of me have taken care of me.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And I just signed my name.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: This is fully my I mean, I am absolutely a
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: target to be taken advantage too. I'm first of all,
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I'm lazy, so I'm not going to be doing the
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: reading me. And then I'm very trusting. Yes, I feel
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: like I do. I'm like, oh, if I get into court,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I'll just be like, well, I'm a nice guy.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I meant, well, well, head's Upbradge or ed doesn't hold
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: up in front of a judge because they're going to go,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you're an adult, you should be taking BLI me, I
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: am the same as you. I would just be like,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you know, what is a mercy of the court. I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: would just be falling on the floor because I just
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I do count on people being trustworthy. I feel like
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: I'm really trustworthy. I wouldn't try to rip somebody off,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: so I don't think anyone else will try it. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I do, I mean joking about but I do have
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: people around me. I do believe they are taking care
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of me.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: But until you find your judas exactly, they've all got
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: a judas in the shadows.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Wait, someone did try to kiss me earlier today, right
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: before I signed. Interesting, it's something to think.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: About after a really fantastic dinner.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, not fantastic, but okay. And I'll kiss even after
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: an okay dinner, just for the record, for those who
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: are looking, it doesn't even need to be great.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Have you have you ever been betrayed? Wow?
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think I've ever been asked that question. I've
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: been disappointed you in life, you know, here and there,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: in relationships and friends here and there, boy betrayed because
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: betrayal to me is is is a lot bigger than disappointed,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of course, like the betrayals like are you efing kidding me?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: You went this direction? So I don't think at least
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: nothing's jumping out that I've been betrayed? Have you?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I mean as I First of all, I should not
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: be asking.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: No, I think it's good.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask every guest I think, tell me about
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: your deepest.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Betrayal, because I want to hear. I want the dirt.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to think if I've really been betrayed before.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I feel like the closest I've gotten is food poisoning.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I'm like, because I tried food so much.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Oh that's true. Well, look at me. I trust food
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: every day.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Right, every single day, and when you get food poisoning,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: it really does feel like, oh, I you know I
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: trusted the restaurant.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: That's actually that's a good betrayal. It's a huge even
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: though they're not individually calling you out right, it's not
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that type of betrayal, but it's still a betrayal.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: And maybe it is that maybe they you know, is
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: here put this not in the burrito lettuce exactly.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I was in. I was doing a theater gig in
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Kansas City a few months ago. Uh, and I got
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: something called neurovirus oh, which I had never heard of.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: I've only heard of this on cruise.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: It's a big ass cruise ship thing. And I still
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: didn't wory. I said to the factor, Ah, the hell,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: because I mean it was they had I had going instroom.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: They were pumping me in both arms with fluids and
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: the shows I never missed a show like it was
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: one of those the show must go on kind of things.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Even though the theater was so gracious, like Jim, we
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: have your understudy, we can do this. But you know,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: people paid to see me, and I'm one of those people, like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: oh God, I can make it happen. But they were
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: filling me with the fluids at both arms. I said, how
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: did this happen? And he goes, somebody didn't wash their
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: hands after they went to the bathroom. And then I
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: start really getting freaked out, like, ah, God, all day long,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: we're touching things that people touched. You don't wash their
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: hands after they go to the bathroom.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Oh, almost anything you touch has been touched by somebody
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: with absolutely filthy hand filthy.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: The good news though, sixteen pounds I lost sixteen of
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: course a liquid, but sixteen pounds. And I won't say
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: your name, Eve, though I love her to death. The
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: actress in the play was like, oh, I want nora
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: virus for a while. No, you know what this because okay,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: this is way too much information.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: That I'm going to share with everybody, please please.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: It was so bad that during performances, I'm an adult
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: man who took all let's just say I put protection
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: between my cheeks because sitting, coughing, standing, I had no
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: idea what was gonna happen.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I would be in a full diaper.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: That was I was too too proud to do the diaper,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: which please, I'm heading that direction for sure, but at
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: this point I was still too proud and I didn't
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: do it. But it was and the cast was so great,
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: like Jim, because I had no energy. It was just
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: like sit when you need to, we'll figure out blocking,
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: we'll work around you. And I said, no, I'm gonna
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: be fine with all that, but I can't guarantee I'm
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: not gonna ship myself. I think I got I was clean,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the toilet paper always came out clean. But that's how
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: nervous I was, though, That's how unsure, because this neurovirus
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: is an m effort, like oh, I'm sure, wow, And
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I had never I'd never experienced something like I had
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: food poisoning and it's over and like, you know, twelve
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to twenty four hours. This was days and days.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: How many shows did you perform with a neuro virus?
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Uh? We do eight show a week. It was a
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Broadway schedule. So I was sick from like Friday to
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: so eight seven or eight yeah, seven or eight shows,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: don't remember exactly. And the cast I would like, almost
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: collapse after the show, and they were so concerned and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: and like, you don't have to do this, we can
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: figure it out without you. But this theater's in Kansas
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: City and it's this amazing place I've done. It was
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: my third show there, and they normally bring in like
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: one kind of celebrity guests for every show. And the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: show was doing very well, and you know, I'd like
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: to think that people were coming to see me. And
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh my god, they've they've paid for these
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: tickets and anyway, you were ruining the show.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: People are like, he has no energy. Guy sucks.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Everyone kept saying I brought it once that once I
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: hit that stage, and I hope that's true because I
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: would hate for people to go and well, I think
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: he's shitting himself up there, honey, is he shitting? What's happening?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Why is Joe Aaron stage shitting in front of us?
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I hope that's not what they were saying, but they
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: would be wrong because I don't think I did.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Now I have an idea for a show.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: And do Yeah, yeah, that's one. I'm done.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be producing. I'm going to Broadway with this.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: With this general concept, one actor will always be at
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: risk of shipping.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Again, I like it. See if I'm available, if you
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: get to book the space, see if I'm available?
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: And now did you also throw up?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: No? It was not that it was strictly below the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: waist problem. I mean I wasn't. I didn't want food
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: like I wasn't. There was no hunger or anything. But no,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: never never grab on the toilet bowl as far as
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: that just just just.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: The other end and deeply dehydrated, deeply.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It was so funny because they gave me one bag
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of fluids, I guess, and then they tested my blood
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: again and she goes, oh, we haven't made a dent.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: So then they hook me to another bag with my
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: other arm. So it was it was crazy. But the
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: funny thing is I'm in Kansas City and the Chiefs
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: are kicking ass. They're heading toward the super Bowl, they're
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. They emergency room because there was a
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Chiefs game was empty. Oh empty, And she said, she goes, oh, no,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: someone could have their arm cut off. They're not coming
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: in here until after that game. And she was right
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: because after the game the play started filling up. But
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I had my own emergency room.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Wow. Love, that's very Beyon.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: But the embarrassing part there was a male nurse, sweetest guy.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: I wish I could remember his name, but he uh,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: he recognized me, and you know he was this and
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: this and what he had to do for me. Oh,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: I kept saying, I'm so embarrassed. You should never hear.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: He goes, this is what I do. I go, I know,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: but you know you know who I am. And because
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: you have to give samples of things exactly. Yes, there
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: are people out there right now because I will tell
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: you this, and I know I'm bouncing around topics here,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: if that's okay with you.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: No, this podcast is only one strictly we dive into
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: a topic and not straight Well.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I did a film right after Parks from Are called
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: The Middleman and we get we did what do he
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: called crowd funding? Oh? Sure, we raised because we had
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: money from producers. But then we raised I believe, around
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty hundred and sixty thousand, which you
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: know was amazing. And these people are so generous to give,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and so there were things we had to give as
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: incentive bonus. Some were easy summary, but one of them
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: was you got a phone call from me? Okay, So
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: one night they give me a burner phone because you
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: can't get the numbers. And I start making these phone
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: calls and the one guy he answers and I said, hey,

• 13:36
  Speaker 2: felt like I caught him off guard, so I did
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: another phone call in the meantime then I could call
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: him back. Well, I found out as we were talking
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: he was having a good time while we were talking,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: and he needed those two minutes to prep for that
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: good time. Oh yes, yes, and hey, I'm all for
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: having a good time. God bless you do whatever rocks
• 13:59

  Speaker 2: that's assault. He let me experience his uh, his completion,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: let's say, and the breathing. And I go, okay, well,

  Speaker 2: thank you for help because and I hugged the phone
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: up and I called the producer and I said, never again. Behavior,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I think it probably is.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: How did you're not press charge? No?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I mean hell, he donated to the film? Hell, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: I just hung up, like, what is my life? What
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: is my life? Stupid stuff?
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: So what what was the conversation you were happening with
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: this guy while he was doing it.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'm thanking him. I'm like so grateful in telling him
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: about the film. Every I think I believe the deal
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: was a five minute phone call. So I kind of
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: kept the clock going, you know, because you know you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: want to come through sure, And so I'm just chatting
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: about the experience of filming it, just giving the rundown
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: of how in the cast we got this person and
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: that person we can't believe, you know, just all the excitement,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and I was excited that those weren't those phone calls
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: were legit, because I really Number one was so grateful
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: that strangers who don't know me would give me their
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: money and how lovely. And so I was always grateful
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: still grateful. And I was just talking about that, and
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: then I realized as I'm talking, he'd be like then.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: And it took me a minute because you don't know
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: do people ever? Of course, who knows things go on?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: But you know, I'm going to tell you a secret.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I know what those sounds are. Like, I'm not going to.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Tell you how where did you get this information?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I read about it somewhere about what these sounds. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: mean myself, I would have no idea personally, because I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: would never do something like that, at least not more
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: than three times a day. But I would know, so
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: I knew what was going on. And then again the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: big finish.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and then did he say anything you or did
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: you just hang up?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: It was so like, well, thank you so much. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: can't thank you enough. And the movie comes out, but
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and I hung up.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: You are an angel? Well, God bless you needed a whistle.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: You needed to blow a whistle into the phone like
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: in the seventies. Yes, the heavy breathers, the heavy breathers.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh wow, it was.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: It was what a journey. Yeah, I wonder if you
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: saw the movie.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: I have the feeling he did there's yes. I'm sure
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: he did. I have no doubt, and I'm guessing he
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: got a copy of it and that is something that
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: he enjoys here and there.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: How much money did you have to donate to get
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: the call from you? Do you remember?
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I'm going to think it was. It could be the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: five hundred dollars level.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, it was.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: It was a bigger level. It wasn't like the twenty
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: buck level you get. I don't know what you got
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: for twenty bucks. Maybe a sign like I signed hundreds
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and hundreds of head shots and that kind of thing
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: was easy. I think it was a five hundred dollars thing.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: And there was a lot of people. And again, the
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: timing was tough to make all those calls because whatever
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I was working on then, you know, because if you
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: call during the day, the people generally aren't home. And
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: I wanted to chat with like I wanted to.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you wanted to keep your word, to keep my word.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Of course, I think it would have looked shitty if
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: I called like during the day to their home leave.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: And actually sometimes I had to do that because we
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: would try three three three was the max, right, the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: third try over a couple of days. If you didn't,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: if I didn't get you, then it was just hey,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: thank you, so you on a message, because I mean,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: what can.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: I I don't give my own family members three chances.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I know I could talk to them.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: They do hate you, which is weird. I know we've
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: never met before, and yet I know all of your family.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: They just like me that much. They're reaching.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: It's deep, it's deep, ridger and I'll be honest, I've
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: only been here a few minutes. I see where they're
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: coming from.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: Of course, I.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: See where they're coming.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: I'm finally starting like, oh, I can kind of see
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: what why they would feel this way about a person.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Beautiful.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Wow, what an experience. I cannot wrap my head around
• 18:03

  Speaker 2: It's welcome in my world, yeah, Jim O'Hair world, ladies
• 18:10

• 18:14
  Speaker 2: since or you know, because I do appearances, I meet people.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think he can ever say it.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Wow, he really, I mean, it feels nice to have
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: a fan. Let's just say that.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Let's there is a community out there. They're called, you know,
• 18:30

• 18:33
  Speaker 2: big guys. Oh yeah, and people like does that freak

• 18:42
  Speaker 2: show once. I want see what the other actor was.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: And this is many, many years ago. On the internet
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: was just happening, and this guy and I worked together,
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: another big guy on a very famous show at the time,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: and he said, I want to talk to you about something. Yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: what's up? He goes, My wife saw something on the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: internet and I am very uncomfortable with it. Oh, do

  Speaker 2: what's up? Because your internet was so new, you know,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you're getting you're doing the dial up of you trying
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: to get on and all this stuff. He said, Well,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: he she found pictures of us on a gay website.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I said, well, what are we doing? Like, I don't
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: think I've done anything on a gay website. He goes, No,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: they've taken pictures from television and put them on this website.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: And it's you know, guys who think were attracted, right,

  Speaker 2: Shots from TV. But I will say this, the name
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: of the site, and I will tell you was not flattering,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: and it might I have no idea if this site
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: still exists. And I'm not knocking it, because again I
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: thought it was all flattering. It was called whale watcher
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: dot com. Yes, so think about that. So that's not
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the most flat. And it was like me and this

  Speaker 2: by the content.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, somebody feels like I'm good looking you. That's
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: all I want in the world.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Tell me, tell me, tell me, I love it.

  Speaker 2: It could be That's what I was saying. And here's
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: how I have that bag because anyone who knows me,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: and you can tell from looking at me, shopping is
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: not my forte. This is a nice short given to
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: me by somebody. I have no idea I am. There's
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: nobody worse saying I hate hate shopping. I just did
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: film in Barcelona and they had me in this beautiful
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: hotel right off. There's an area in Barcelona. I had
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: never been there, so it was all new to me
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: called de Gassia and it's the main drag and it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: basically their rodeo drive. Sure, and it was a beautiful
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: street but I would have plucked hairs out of my
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: ass before I would have walked into one of those
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: stories you hated that much. Just do And people I'm with,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you know people love to shop, and I know they do.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: I just I'm not about shopping that you don't like doing.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: Oh just boring. It's just so damn boring. So a
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: lot of the clothes I have when I'm on set,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: they'll just give them to me. Say, Jim, do you
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: want to keep thy clothes? Please take they fitted me? Yeah,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: that sounds great. I'll take those clothes. I'm trying to think,
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: what's the last thing I bought. I don't generally buy
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: because I'll get them from set. Or I have a sister.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I am a sixty two year old man who has
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: shown up to different things I'm doing, plays, whatever with
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: clothes for me. She goes, I saw you on this
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: one thing and I didn't think you were looking good.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: So she buying me clothes. Buy I can buy my
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: own clothes. Very sweet. One of those gym shoes everyone's
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: get the hookah oh hokah, I got a pair of
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: those now. She visited me when I was doing a
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: play in Kansas City and She goes, oh, I hated
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: those old jim shoes years. I go, they feel comfortable.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: She goes, I know, and she sent me puer hocus.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Do you like the hookas I love all them.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: There's nothing not to love. They're so damn comfortable. But
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: again it's just so low priority. So this bag is
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: either from Henry Bendell or on re Bendett. We're not sure.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: But the reason I got this bag is my friend Retta,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: who played Don and Ego Recreation, one of the greatest
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: scales out there. We had lunch recently and she got
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: some food service that gave her avocados, and she doesn't
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: like avocados, so she did shop it all Reben del
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: but in that bag. For me, I love the journey
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: this bag, the journey this bag has been on, and
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: now this bag has been gifted to you because I'm
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: a gentleman.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: It's so sweet and I'm glad that these bags are
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: being reused. Yes, I've got to find a use for
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: this now. Yeah, probably some sort of fruit I find
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: in my yard, yes, or dirt.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Do you gift people? Do you ever gift people?
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: I do gifts?
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Well, then there you go. Let them have that fun
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: moment where they think thinking, oh my god, he got
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: me some crazy expensive thing from Henry your home read
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: this is the most amazing and then open it up
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: and it's just whatever crap you would give.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: People would know immediately that I would. There's no chance
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I would have spent exactly. They would know that something
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: in here was either free or I spent no more
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: than twenty dollars.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: And you know, I had this kind of new uh this,
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a revelation, but this, my
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: new saying, is just because you can afford something doesn't
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: mean you should afford something. So because my friends always like,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: well why did you go get this or this, I'm like, right,
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I don't need that.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Why would you just why would I just go and
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: get that?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: And I don't even know what on reed Bendel sells.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: I have no idea.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: My guess is from the size of this bagu socks, gloves.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Someone out there listening is screaming, you idiots,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: it's jewelry or shoes or perfume. Perfume maybe yeah, I
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: have no idea.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: On a least, do you have any idea what their
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: classic department store they have handbags and all sorts of goods. Oh, okay,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: very nice. I mean, like, if it's a department store
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I've never heard of, you know, it's got to be
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: unbelievably expensive.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I grew up with a place called Kmart I love. Yeah,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: that was mine. So yeah, only Bendel was not on

• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Oh I've had to, but I certainly don't enjoy it.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: And upon waking up, what beverage are you drinking?
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: You are looking at it.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: You're drinking diet drinking diet coke.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Fat. No, And I'm sure it's of course it's not
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: good for you, though, I will say that. Adam Scott,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: you know from Parks, his dad, and I hope I'm
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: remembering this correctly. If I'm screwing it up, Adam, I
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: am so sorry because I've used this to justify my
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: problem with my obsession, and that is I believe his
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: dad was a chemist and his dad said, well, the
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: ingredients really aren't all that bad, and so I've gone
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: with that theory. So but I you know, sometimes you
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: go to for your physical and they'll be like, oh, Jim,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: how much alcohol do you drink? And I'm totally just
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: a social drinker. I'll have a beer if i'm you know,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: if I play poker or whatever with my friends, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: you know, the occasional like gin and tonic, but a
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: very low key drinker. It's just not my thing. And
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: I'll say, well, just socially, and then well how much coffee? None? Oh,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: And they're like so impressed, and they'll say, well, what
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: do you drink and I say diet coke and then
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: that look comes over, Jim, how many cans a day?
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: And I said, please don't make me say it, Please
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: don't make me say it. I and this is all
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I can't wait for this. I posted a picture this
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: was years ago, on Instagram of a stack of twelve
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: twelve packs in my garage because God forbid I would
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: ever run out. And I do have a lot of
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: people in my life will also enjoy.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Of course, everyone loves I had to.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: But here's something I learned Ridgerd that shook me to
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: my core. And I hope I don't get emotional talking
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: about there's an expiration date on diet coke.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: The expert, Oh, go off, it does go bad. It
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: tastes weird.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: It tastes weird. And so one day and I still
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: had like six of them left, and a buddy was
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: over for what a director friend of mine, and he
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: wanted to die cook I give him. When he goes, oh,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: this one's this tastes weird, I'm like, oh God, so sorry,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: plenty more. I open up another one. He goes, this
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: one's weird too. Well, then I tasted. I go what
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: is happening? And he said, well, what's the date? What date?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Here's the date on the can? Idiot, there's a date
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: on the can and it was months past.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Oh months, that's tough, dude.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I had to throw the rest of them in the garden.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: It was through tears.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Well, I was throwing, Well, this means is you're not
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: drinking enough.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I know, but I believe me. I got to remember though,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: not all just at home. I go to a restaurant,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I get my Di coke. I go to dinner, I
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: get my die coke. Even if I get a beer
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: at dinner, I give a restaurant with friends, it will
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: be one, maybe two beers and then straight to the dike. Right,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: So it's other. I'm not just getting it at home.
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: So how many ounces of diet coca day do you
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: think you're drinking? Oh god, I've never thought about here,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: because I have a How.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Many ounces are in that bottle I gave you?
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: This is a sixteen point nine?
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, So so if in a fantasy world, because I
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: would never really do this, if I drink six of
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: those a.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Day, six of those a day, I probably drink six
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: of those at dinner tonight.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank good, I'm not as bad. It's six to
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: eight a day. Six. Yeah.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: That doesn't seem that I dia coke.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I know it is, and I'm sure the shit that's
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: in there is maybe not great for me, but I
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: love it, and it has nothing to do with losing weight.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Like I don't drink dit coke because oh it's less
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: whatever it's less of I love the damn it's delicious.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: I love it, and I say, I was just in Barcelona.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: In Europe, everything is coke zero.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Right, you're into cokes.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: It's people who love cokes your own. It turns out
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I don't. That's my only version I could get there.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: But to me, it's still very sugary. Right, even though
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I'm vera very I don't know diet coke as is
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: is my juice.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: It's got a very uh not sharp, but crisp.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: It's got a nice cold one and a shout out
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: to McDonald's. Nobody does a diet coke better than McDonald's.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Do you want to get into this?
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'll get into it. I will get into it.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, you're not going to learn what a Psychoieah, I can't.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I love McDonald's diet coke so much, but if you
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: get it in their drive through their machines now they
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: run all of the soda through one thing, one little
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: what is that a sprig or whatever something, and so
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: their diet coke doesn't taste like diet coke when you
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: go through the drive through. If you go into the store,
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: and again, I'm an absolute psychopath. Wow, the diet coke
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: is a million times better.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And I got to tell you I mostly do drive through.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you because I'm the guy who goes to
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: drive through just for the diet coat.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: You might be at a good McDonald's. There's still a
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: few good ones left.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: The one in Encino, baby, shout out to Encino McDonald's. Yes,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: they hate me because for a while they were ninety
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: nine cents. I love the large things. A dollar for
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: thank you, and I'd be on my way.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: You know they're nearly three dollars now.
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: I know they're back to their regular stuff almost coffee
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: prices so apparently.
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: And I haven't done it. But if you go on
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: the app, huh there is, you get a.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Cheap I'm not getting on dude. Not happy we.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Mentioned we're lazy. I'm not getting on the app. No,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: I'm not getting on the No.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: I will happily go into the store.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Oh that sounds less than lazy, though. Well, park, you
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: get out of your car, your legs walk, and then
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: you speak. It seems like a lot.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: It means I care.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: Wow, it means you are better than me. I am
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: simply better, and I am not proud of this at all. Here.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: I am in Barcelona and every fancy restaurant is there,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: and it's just you know, they're known for paea and
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: croquettes and and I'm not a seafood guy, but they're
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: known for their seafood all this mainz of stuff. And
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: twice in the two weeks that I was there, I
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: went to one Burger King of one McDonald's. I couldn't
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: help myself because it was like, I just want a
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: little normalcy. I don't need fancy. Just give me a
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: whopper with cheese and a or a big Mac with
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: extra secret sauce.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Did they did either of those menus have like Spain
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: specific menu items.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, And for some reason they kept giving me T shirts.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: I said to the man, I don't need that, but
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: he doesn't know what I'm saying. I don't know what
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: he's saying. I don't know what that was about. But
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: somehow T shirts were all McDonald's T shirt. Yes. I
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: don't know why. I truly don't know why. I know
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I was on my own because I was too embarrassed
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: to be gold with anybody because they're like, oh, we're
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: gonna meet for dinner at the and I'm like okay,
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: And for lunch I met McDonald's thinking fill up. And
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: then you know at dinner you can you know, because
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: again there's so much amazing food in Barcelona. The seafood
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: people have got squid on their plate. I could heave
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: when I see a squid on a plate, or they're
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: bringing them the fish with the hat on it. Don't
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: put the hat on the fish, take it off.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: I think essentially every country in the world outside of
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: the United States keeps the head on the right.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, but since I don't eat fish,
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of it. It just makes me crazy.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: It makes me crazy.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: I do have a hard time. I need if I
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: eat meat and I eat fish, but I need it
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: to look as should not look like the animal to me. Yes,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: I just can't because I'm.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: The biggest hypocrite walking. I eat meat. Absolutely, I couldn't
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: kill my own food.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: I couldn't.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I'm the guy who grabs the spider and throws it outside.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: So I could never kill my own food. So if
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: I'm eating something and it's like if I get like,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: I love ribs, right, but if I start chomping on
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: a rib and I feel like I'm fighting that to
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: get it off the phone. Then it becomes an animal,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: and I am done. I put it. I needed to
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: fall off. And again it's so hypocritical because I'm like
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: all of these poor animals as I'm long.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sad to dissociate a little bit, I know.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: And then here's how my brain goes, Well, they already
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: it's already done, Like it's already in this store. If
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: I don't show up tonight, the animal isn't alive.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Then was killed for no reason, right right, like I'm.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: Helping that poor animal. No really, if the minute I
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: go to my brain of this is an animal, I'm screwed, right,
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: I just I just can't do it.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Have you ever had rabbit?
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: I have not. Oh if that's had rabbits as pets,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: but I've never always.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, I had a friend took me. He
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: had read about this place in LA and he's like
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: a giant foodie. Sure it takes us to this place,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: and that I kind of I think exclusively served rabbit.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: And I thought, I'm going to be adventurous. I'll try
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: this and I'll eat almost anything. I've heard that mortifying,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: mortifying experience. I'm so uh, never again.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Did it just with your head?
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was too far.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: It would mean too I don't eat lamb.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Because I love euros.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Well, oh damn it, you're right. I do eat lamb.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: I love Oh my god, you're right.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry speaking of like, you.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Know, when you order lamb at a restaurant, never do that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: But you're right. I do eat lamb.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: I hate me, I really do hate me. But oh,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: a good euro.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: But you're keeping You're keeping the lamb in a very
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: specific box.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: He's on a big spit. Yeah.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh, yeah that's lamb.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: That's I forgot that's lamb. Oh. And now I'm thinking
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: I could go for a euro maybe after we wrap
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: this up.
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: You do you get euros? In La? I can never
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: find a good.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: One firehouse and and uh, I'm going to say it's Resida.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I think it's Resida, but it's at the corner of
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Victory and Reseda in I think Resida. And it is
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: an amazing ero. This is great, you know, that's my
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: that's my go to. Okay.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: I grew up eating a lot of euros and then
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: I moved to La And where did you grow up
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: in Salt Lake City and there's a huge Greek population.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Oh that makes sense.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: I think they had there was like Greek Greek immigrants
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: for some sort of mining I think, and then the
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: population just grew and grew, and so there's like a
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: Greek restaurant on every corner. There, very good Greek food.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: But then you come about, oh I love a bacle and.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: You know the real you know, how to really say it,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: bot laoa why. I recently learned that from a friend
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: whose sister was in town. And we went to some
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Middle Eastern restaurant and we got all the stuff, the
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: hummus and the homss and everything, and I said, oh,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: we got to get the baklava for dessert. Shees the
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: what Oh yeah it was no, it's about.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: La Oh okay, I'm sorry.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: Wow, okay, I've learned.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, was this woman from a country that.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Pronounced she lives in Jersey.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: That's very exactly.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, And the ba was delicious. I will say that.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: You don't correct that.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: I know, yes, we all say bakla.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: Everybody says, I mean bought lawa. I'm going to keep
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: that in my back pocket.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my thing. I'll have the and I try
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: to look at everybody to see the response generally pathetic.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: I am going to follow this woman to every restaurant
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: and make sure she's pronouncing everything. She's ordering burrito's. That's
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: such irritating behavior.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah no, but she's wonderful. But yeah, I was corrected.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: But laoa, Okay, you don't like Coke zero? Are there
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: any other diet drinks you like? You know?
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: And I hate to be the hater because I'll drink
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: a diet pepsi if I have to. But when the
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: store will say, well we're a pepsi place, okay, well
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: you just lost a swallow. It's a tough pill, and
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I'll do it, and it's okay. I don't hate it.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: And in Barcelona there was it was all. I didn't
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: see any pepsi products. I'm sure they were there, I
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: didn't see them. It was all coke, Coke zero, coke, this, coke, this,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: coke this. But other than that, I don't I really
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: don't know. Like I have family members who love like
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Mountain dew, I don't really do the dew. I like
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: an iced tea. I like the iced tea. I love
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: oh no baby, like sweet baby up. Oh sweetened big
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: mixed berry flavored. Yes, Oh god, I'm sweetened. If you're
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: gonna give me on sweeten, you better give me two
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: packs of sweet and low.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: You're just telling me you don't like cokereo because it's
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: too sty No.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: But it's a different type of sweet. Oh my god,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: you should see I said don't. I don't drink coffee,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: and I don't other than with a dessert. If I'm
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: at a restaurant, I do like a cappuccino. But here's
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: why I like the cappuccino. They serve it to me,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: and then they serve it with that brown sugar. Oh
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: like that kind of fit brown sugar that I just
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: slap in there. It's no more. It shouldn't be called coffee.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: When I drink, can I please have the brown sugar drink?
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: That is what I with my dessert that I will have.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Your drinking schedule is all a mess.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: It's a mess.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: It's a complete disaster.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: And then when people like, oh, can they get you
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: a glass of water? What? How dare you just water?
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Oh dude, oh I will you know what, I'm doing
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: a new animated show and I was in the booth. Yeah,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I will say I had water, then I had no choice.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: That's all that they were offering me. And that's okay
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: for them, because it really is just to kind of
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: keep the pipes flowing. But the last time I asked
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: for water, no, it hasn't happened. And what they have
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: now are these squirty bottles that you squirt into water
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: and it becomes flavorful water. So I buy those so
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: if I have to drink water, I squirted this stuff
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: in it. Next thing you know, it's lemonade, it's fruit punch,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: it's sweet tea. Of course, whenever I see sweet tea.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: If anyone out there is ever you know Chris Hansen,
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: the one who does the pedophiles, oh yes, of course,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: the minute he walks in a room, you're fucked. Like,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh damn. But when these people walk into
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: these homes, and whether it's the you know, they got
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: a decoy playing a boy or a girl, whatever it is,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh, I'll be right down. I'm making sweet tea.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: So I always feel guilty when I'm making this. When
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I put the sweet tea mixture, I'm like, oh god,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: this feels very pedophile ish. Because I saw this on
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: this show. And it's because I never heard the term
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: sweet tea. But apparently in the South, the South, very
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: much sweet tea.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: That is all they drink.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: That's all they drink. But I'm from the Chicago Land area,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: and we have pop.
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: You had pop, we have pop, We had pop. It
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: was an interesting cultural shift. In Utah, we called it
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: pop until like I probably the early thousands to mid thousands,
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: and then we switched to soda.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: You did. That's a big switch.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: I think it must have been the Internet or something that,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: like the word just started circulating.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: When I'm with my family, it's still pop pop. I mean,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: there's not even a thought. And my family knows when
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I say pop, they know exactly what I'm talking about.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: It's a diet coke. Yeah, that's wow. I couldn't switch.
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: No, I made the switch effortlessly. Wow, I really slipped right.
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: But then in the South they call also to coke,
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: which that's true.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Everything is cold.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Give me a coke that's on accepted and they know
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: what each other means too. Yeah, that doesn't work. There's
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: no excuse for that behavior.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Totally agree.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: They've got to get pick soda or pop or something else.
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: Fizzy drink fizzy. Yeah, coke is a brand name.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, backlant, And I actually don't like fizzy water. You
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: know if people like sparkles. Oh, I love sparks. No,
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: you got one right in front of you.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean to be honest, I had a diet
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: coke in the other room. But then I thought, well,
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: I had probably forty ounces of diet coke at dinner.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: I should you should have something else. No, I don't
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: like the fizzy water. I don't know why. Well, and
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: I think people think I'm cheap. At a restaurant, Sara,
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: did you want the bottled or the regular regular? Please?
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not being cheap. I just don't like the pizzy.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Oh people know I'm cheap that well?
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah again, I read the blogs. I know all about you, Bridger,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: all about it.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Should we get back into the bag here? Sure?
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, reach in there. You're going to find something else.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Okay. Now, there's like a soft thing and a book
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: type thing. Grab the soft thing, soft thing?
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: Oh oh it's a Is this a Golden Girl's mask?
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: It's a Golden Girls COVID mask.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: Have you used this?
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: I have never? That is an unused cocking. This can
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: be so you can if you felt like you want,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: you can put on your face. It has not been
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: on my face. I uh again. If you know me,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: you know my obsession with the Golden Girls.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable show.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: It is my comfort show. It is I think it's
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: still relevant and it's dated here and there, of course,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: barely barely dated. The topics, the acting, the writing, it's
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: just to me brilliant. And that is like whenever I'm
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: like kind of worked up and I just need a
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: little something in the background, It's going to be Golden Girls.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: It's one of my all time favorite shows. B Arthur
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: can say anything and I'm yes, I mean yes.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: And the way they you know that. I've read the
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: behind the scenes. I've heard the interviews. There was issues.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Stallghetti had terrible stage fright. I went to a taping
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: one hundred years ago. No way, the buddy. We went
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: for a little bit of time. I worked for the airlines.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I worked for Eastern Airlines, which of course doesn't I
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: was a flight attendant. And then there's dramatic silence when
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: I say flight attendant. Interesting, Okay, I wasn't a flight attendant, bitch,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: air No, I was reservations for free. Oh.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I still dream about like getting a part
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: time job at an airline. So that's why I was.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: It was a part time job. I had a full
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: time job, and I did it part time for the
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: flight benefits.
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: It's the best benefit of any job ever.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: I would fly first class for ten dollars ten dollars,
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: And because I was in reservations, I could see what
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: the flights look like. Oh, I could go, Man, that
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: flight looks totally empty, because you know, you always fly
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: stand by. But if you planned it right, I had
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: very few problems. Every once in a while, the flight
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: before years would get canceled, and then everybody's coming from
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: that flight over the years, and then you could get screwed.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: But in general it was a gift. It was pretty cool.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: And so Buddy, I'm like, let's go to I got
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: buddy passes, Let's go to California. And we did, and
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: we went and saw taping on The Golden Girls, and
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: stell Getty was, you know, having trouble memorizing lines, which
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: I've heard all about since she was just a very
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: nervous in front of an audience. But I think that
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: show is so incredibly well written. Now as I've seen
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: every episode one thousand times, they one story doesn't match
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: with another, children don't match, fathers don't match. Characters come
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: and go that we never hear about again, that they're
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: going to be with forever. So I mean, in those
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: days there was no binging the era. They could get
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: away with it because it air forgot once and then
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: it re ran once, and then life went on, never
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: thinking somebody is gonna sit with it and watch six
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: seven seasons one after the.
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Hour in a row.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: But I love that damn show, and I am not
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: embarrassed to say I know it. They were like, it's
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: like an old man show, an old woman show. I'm sorry,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: call it what you want.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: I think it's brilliant, one of the simply the all
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: time best shows. Objectively, one of the funniest shows ever made.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: I am on board, and one of the few shows
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: from that period that has aged well enough that you
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: can watch just about any episode and still laugh at it.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's again the occasional like political reference there is
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: from you know, forty years ago. Right, of course that
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: doesn't make sense, but ninety percent of it it's still relevant.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: They were talking about AIDS yes, they were talking about
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: having an affairs like these are topics that were not
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: discussed on any show, any show. Blanche's brother got married,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: well he couldn't get married, but he got right. Service
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: like this was not talked about.
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: It's very amazing.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: It's amazing. It's amazing.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Do you remember what episode you saw alive? Oh?
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: My god, totally the episode where Dorothy is she gets
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: a huge crush on the teacher at school. Turns out
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: he's a priest, and so he shows up and she
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't know when she's dressed. They Blanche makes her wear
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: some she calls it a solid gold dancer's mother's outfit
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: or something like that. So yes, and every time, and
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: it's on all the time, every time I see him,
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Like I was in that audi. I was there and
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: it was the first time I'd ever been to a
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: taping of a show. And they are drudgery because they
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: go on and on and on, and when the actors,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: you know, are messing up, you know, at first it's
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: funny and then you're like, oh, please get through this,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: because I've seen this scene ten times. But it really
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: was such a great experience. Oh I'm sure, so I
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: I treasure that memory. It was amazing and I think
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: casting is so tough and it was nailed. And I've
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: heard the stories they initially wanted Room McLain and who
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: played Blanche, to play Roses, which I just don't see.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: It makes no sense. Maybe she would have done it
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: and we would have been blown away, who knows. But
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: the way it turned out was absolute perfection. Because apparently
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: when uh, you know, because Rue had worked with Be
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: on Maud, she brought this to her and said, listen,
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: there's this great pilot blah blah blah. And b was like, no,
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: I don't. I've already seen you play the ditsy and
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I've seen uh uh Betty White on Mary Tyler Moore
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: play the flirty, slutty kind of whatever. And she said,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: that isn't what's happening. It's just the opposite. And that
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: got the attention.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: That's so cool.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: And then she read it and she's like, yeah, okay,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: this is something it took me.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't learn for a long time about Golden Palace. Yeah,
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: which is such a bizarre thing that happened.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Be left the show. Listen as if
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I wrote the damn thing, friend, your b and I
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: headline and I said her, be you shouldn't leave this show.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: But she she decided to leave the show. The others
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: weren't ready to leave. But you've lost now twenty five
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: percent in a really big prisi, maybe more depending on
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: how you look at it. Again, and so I get it.
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: They tried to keep it going. They turned it where
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: they all of a sudden owned a hotel. I don't
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: know where that money came to buy a hotel. No
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: one ever seemed to have money anyway. It did not work.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: It went one season. But you know what's really funny
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: when you think about it, it got canceled. I think
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: they had like making up this number, but roughly thirteen
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: or fourteen million people were watching. Nowadays, if you had
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: thirteen or fourteen million, you got what's called a hit.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: You would get twenty seasons of the show exactly.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: But in those days, because there was three chances, ABC, NBC,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: and CBS, Fox came later, you were getting twenty thirty
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: million people watching your shows.
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: Never again, never go Oh.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, those days are long gone.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah that is long gone. Wild thirteen million as a failure. Yeah, no,
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: it's such a wonderful show and it's so comforting. I could. Yeah,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: when I can't think of something else to watch on TV,
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, obviously i'll just watch and.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: I yell all the lines. I know all the lines.
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: It's no, it's sad. It's sad, and I don't care.
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: Have you ever been to Golden Girls Live?
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: I have once.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Oh it's so good.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Where was it? And I even know the episode? It
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: was when uh, the little girl steals roses uh teddy bear,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: I can't think of the teddy Bear's name, and she's
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: this little bitch and they anyway she gets back there.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I know exactly the episode that I saw it, or it.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: Was it Casita del Campo. I believe that's why I saw.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, was it? Do you know?
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Dude, drog of course I got what everybody knows.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: My god, he's so funny. I think he was in it.
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: It was Pancake Sam.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe it was Sam I worked at. They're both just
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: so funny and will are just up to do anything. Yeah,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: God bless them, like they have guts. I mean, you know,
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: which is not good. But I'll be like, oh, I
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: look like a fool if I do this or if
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: I do that, how silly They're just like, let's have fun.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: This is the time they have such a good time.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, is there anything else we should say about
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: Golden Girls.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Other than if you're new and you don't never heard
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: of it, you're a freak. And if you would like
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: to start watching it, it's on Hallmark every night. Oh
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: and it's on CMT and you can stream it on Hulu.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: And just for the record, I don't get a nickel
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: for saying any of this. I just happen to love
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: that damn show.
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: I wonder who's making money off of Golden Girls, And
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: someone's got to right, They're like grandchildren or something.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: Someone's got it. I mean, stuff isn't free. Yeah, I
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: would think creators are still making money.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: Creators, the writers are probably still making money.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it. And I paid money for that?
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Is this official?
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Don't What does it mean by official? I mean it's
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: or like I saw it online during the pandemic and
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: I bought it.
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: There's no way that if this is like official merchandise,
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: I maybe I have no idea. I feel like it's
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: a bootlet.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: But I spent like a thousand on it. That's all
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: because to me, that's nothing. I wiped my ass, But
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: that's actually what I said earlier, and toilet paper up
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: my ass. It was thousand dollars bills, which I don't
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: even know if that's a real thing, but if they are,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: that's what I had shoved up my ass during that
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: place so I wouldn't poop myself. No, I don't know
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: where that's from other than I bought it online.
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: Well, it's absolutely wonderful, I mean, and now I mean
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: we've got it. Well, I guess it's still important to
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: mask up in.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Well, it's been sitting on my desk I have. There's
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: parks and rex masks. There's all sorts of masks, right,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: and I thought, if.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: You're going to get to know me, this is an
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: excellent mask.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: That's part of me.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: And this will really in the next pandemic, which is.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Right when I just saw the new it's right around
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: the wait did you see something about every day? Oh
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: there's something coming out Indonesia today. Ah, crap, I can't
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: go through it again. There's no Mandy dude. I'm the
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: idiot who when this all started, I said it to
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: anyone who would listen. Wow, we're going to be in
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: for a couple of rough weeks. I really I thought
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: this was me. Yeah, I thought you could go a
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: couple of rough weeks, Babe and damn boom. Two years.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: We had recorded sixteen episodes of this podcast in a
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: studio before releasing it, and we uh. The first release
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: was on March twelfth, twenty twenty, and I thought, okay,
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: so well we just have to go through sixteen max
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: sixteen episodes. I'm going back into the yep. Oh boy,
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: that was a rough experience.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: I actually got a little advanced notice because I was
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: at firehouse when I when I love a firehouse subway sandwich,
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: and I come out and there's some officers there, some
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: police officers, and they recognized me and took a couple
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: of pictures whatever, And I said, oh, what's going on
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: and they said, uh, oh, you know, just some weird
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: stuff going on out there. I said, oh, what's what's that?
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: And he goes nah. And right across the street was
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Costco and he said to me, this cop, you know,
• 54:01

  Speaker 2: I'm in there, I'm calling friends and family. I don't
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: know what's happening. This police officer, who was very friendly,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: said to me, gave me a hint that something bad
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: is happening, and what can I get? So I'm buying.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: I spent three hundred dollars on crap. I think it's
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: still in the freezer because I was just hitting the
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: panic button because I didn't know what this meant. And
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: so and I came out of Costco with this. My
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: cart is super filled because I'm getting meat for people.
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: I'm getting paper because I don't know. And there's a
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: fireman out there. And I said, I'm sorry, but if
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: you heard this, something's happening today at six o'clock. And
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: he goes, yeah, just like that, Oh, oh feeling. So
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I go home. Six o'clock comes nothing, even o'clock, nothing
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: like son of a bitch. I just dropped three hundred bucks.
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: But around eight o'clock, oh, the governor got on and
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: it all hit the fan.
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: Damn.

• 55:32
  Speaker 3: We were all just robbed of so much.
• 55:34

• 55:40
  Speaker 2: lost out on so many big you know, high school.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: Events, enormous life events.

  Speaker 2: a lot of people didn't make it, and that's.
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: Not a good time, a good time. But here we are, Yes,
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: and I think I've got to get this next thing out.

  Speaker 2: again this is the what they put out for people
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: to get an advanced look at it. And there's a setting,
• 56:26

  Speaker 2: Yeah, like if you went to this how they do
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: the you know, you go to a rest and there's
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: act of a famous person all the major players on
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Parks and Recreation around this cover and their caricatures. And
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: there's also, as you young people say, there's these things
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: called easter eggs. Yes, so there's little easter eggs for
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: the big fans of the show. There's like a DJ
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: roombum yeah right there. But Hillary Clinton is in there
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: because you know, Leslie loved Hillary Clinton. But yeah, Tammy's

• 57:28
  Speaker 2: tweet just great. Yeah, Jean Ralphiel Biden. And there's Joe
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: Biden because Amy was obsessed with Leslie was obsessed with
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden. Yeah, I'm really And then then I didn't
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: draw it, but I'm so proud of that cover.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Beautiful. That's so cool.
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, So that's been my obsession over the last
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: It's taken me about a year and a half. You know,
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: you get a deadline, you know, this book thing happens,
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: a deal is cut, and then they give you dates.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: And I remember talking to Nick about it. Nick Offerman,
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: who played Ryn Swanson. He's done I think three books
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: at this point, and he said, that's the that's the
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: motherfucker that deadline. And I turned it in two weeks late,
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: which I was all worked up about because a timely person. Sure,
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: I find out in the book world that's two months early.
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: So as it turns out, I did just fine, because
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: now I don't hear another word from them for two
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: to three months because they never expected it. This of course,
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: and then you do rewrites and this and back and forth.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: It's a whole thing. But it's I'm really proud of it.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: I never in a million years thought I'd have a book.
• 58:35
  Speaker 3: Amazing, I mean, what an achievement.
• 58:37
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see. There's a lot of pages. There's a
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: lot of pictures, pictures people have never seen before, Pictures
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: you took or yes, they came off of my phone's
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: oh no, that's me like seventh or eighth grade?
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: What you was this professionally taken? Yeah, I have a
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: school the school picture you have like a prop. That's
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: how they did it, baby, And this is all black.
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: Then the real book is going to be in color.
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: Everything you got, as.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: They call it, a galley, yeah, of course. And actually
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: in this galley, some of the captions under the pictures
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: don't even match the picture. So it's the it's the
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: book before the.
• 59:13
  Speaker 3: It's very confused, very confused, very.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Want to have them out there that I have, and
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: you have one of them.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: You met Mary Tyler Moore, Yes, I did, where.
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Saturday Night Live. I am obsessed with
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: old television, like again Golden Girls, but Mary Taylor Moore,
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: Dick Van Dyke, all in the family, Carolinet show, like
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: these are shows, Bob Newhart mashed. These are shows that
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: just just rock every part of my world. And I
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: was truly obsessed with Mary Tellamore and Dick Van Dyke,
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: and so I was when I started becoming an actor.
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: In Chicago. I was doing a play there with my
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: comedy group and we were we had created this play
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: and we got one of the SNL writers, Christine Xander,
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: to be our director, which was amazing. And so you
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: get to know herre over the Sun, and then she
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: knows my obsessions blah blah blah, and she calls me
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: and she goes just so you know, Mary Tellamore is
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: hosting Oh are you kidding me? Now, I didn't have
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: two nickels to rub together. So I talked to some friends,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: a couple other people in the show, and I said
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: Mary Tellamore, And to be honest, they were like, eh,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: oh what a spot. The musical guest that week was
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Elvis Costello.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: Oh what great.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: They were like super hyph for Elvis and nothing against
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: Elvis Costello. I am a fan also, but that wasn't
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: my That wasn't my reason for going in begging and
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: borrowing and stealing. And we all went to New York
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: and there she was, and she was everything I wanted
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: her to be. And there's a very very embarrassing story
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: in the book about what happened. Got to buy it
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: to hear it, but it was I made a fool
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: of myself, a fool of myself to the point where
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: she thought, at least this was my impression that I,
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: perhaps the term we've bed used today would be I
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: was special needs. Oh, because that's how crazy things got. Wow,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: it was. But she was so lovely, gracious, and so
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: then as life went on, I worked with I got
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: to meet her. I worked with Dick Van Dyke, I
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: worked with Carol Burnette. These are people that I dreamt like. Literally,
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: I would have dreams of being at table reads on
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: different things with people like this, And so to now
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: sit here and say I've had moments with them still
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: blows my mind. Is a surreal feeling, surreal, it's surreal.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: Wow, that is really wild. And you've got to see
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: Elvis Costello what.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, Oh, oh, I'm going to okay, so let's see
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say eighty eight, eighty nine. Okay, So
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: we're talking a long time ago. And the cool part
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: was because again my friend. Our friend was a writer
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: for the show. So we saw Elvis do his sound check.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: He did all the songs. We were ten feet ten
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: feet from him doing that, and then during the show
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: they let us stand on the floor. It was and
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: there's Lord Miles with Lord and Michael's walking around and like,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: what the hell? And it was in the days of
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: of Oh Jan Hooks and yeah, I loved Jan Hooks.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: I just I just every once in a while, I'll
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: do a thirty watch.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Uh that's what. There you go. Now you've thought of
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: their recapta recap too.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Uh, what is it called? Rock? Thirty rock? And
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: Jan Hooks played Jenna's mother on the show, and I
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: just recently saw one of those episodes. She was brilliant
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: but also like John Lovetts and it was that crowd
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: and uh, that was a dream come true. I'm in
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: New York, I'm in the studio, I'm standing where these
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: hosts stand. It was wild. And then many many years later,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: when Chris Pratt was hosting Me and Retta and Nick
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: and Nick was I think Megan was there to Melalley,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, anyway, Amy was there. I think anyway, a
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: group of us surprised him, and we went to New
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: York and when he came out to host, we were up.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: He looked up and there we were. Yeah, it was
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: It was really cool. So I've had a couple of
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: cool moments there.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: Oh beautiful. Well, once it's going to republished.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: November nineteenth, it comes out and there's book tours, there's like,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: oh good luck. I just recently anyone follows me on
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: Instagram the real Jim O'Hare and on my Facebook, I
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: think it's just Jim o' hare. But I had to
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: sign over three thousand pages for assigned copies of the book. Dude,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: Oh my god. And they gave me a deadline. So
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: of course Jim O'Hare with deadlines, he needs to meet them.
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: It's hours and hours. And also I put a fun
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: little thing in everyone, so I'm not just signing my name.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: I'm signing something.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: I feel sympathy for you just.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: I'm an idiot. So on top of it, not only
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: did I sign my name, then I had to I
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 2: signed this funny thing that fans of the show will
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: and they'll get it and laugh and they'll get a
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: big kick out of it. I don't know how many
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: hours it just went on forever and forever and forever.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: They just kept this acts just wouldn't disappear. Uh And
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: I will tell you the signatures look a lot different
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: from the first five hundred page. There's a lot of
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: blood on the page.
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: Were you listening to music? What were you doing during this?
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: Golden Girls could have been on. I do like a
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: good date line. Who did it? We're going to find
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: out who the murderer is. I do like that. Yeah,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: or you know, I can put Seinfeld on, I can
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 2: put the Office on. I can put a show called
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: Parks and Recreation, which I masturbate too. But uh oh
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: wait did I say that out loud? I'm sorry?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 3: Can you know? That was the man on the phone.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: We haven't started this yet, right, we're amily, so you're
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: still putting this together. Okay, so we haven't started. Okay,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: good please, I don't want that to get out there. No,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 2: Actually I have, you know, I do a recollection podcast
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: of Parks Micreation, and so of course I'm rewatching them
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: all again. I haven't seen them in years, and it's
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: so fun. But I am still that actor. I don't
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: like to watch myself, you know, And I think a
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: lot of actors are like that. Even on set there's
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: some actors and no knock to them. Everyone does their
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: own thing, but they want to see after a take.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: Oh let me see, let me see, not me, right,
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: I make the powers that be. We'll piece it together
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: and give me my best takes and go on from there. Right, Yeah,
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: just not that guy. But yeah, over three thousand signatures.
• 1:05:16

• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: the world I know nothing about. And then I have
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: to do a tour of New York, LA, Chicago, Boston, Miami.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 3: Fun.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: I think that will be because again I'm so shy,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: as you can tell, I don't like to talk. No,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: and that that is up my alley. That type of
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: thing will be up my end. I think you will
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: do the late shows and you know the promo.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: It will be very fun. Yeah, hopefully, And listener. Another
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 3: fun thing is the upcoming live show. I of course
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: have to mention October thirteenth at the Bell House in Brooklyn.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: Is there any other information you need the Bellhouse? N
• 1:05:59

• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: you can recommend, you can do whatever you want with
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: the microL I'll be right back.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: Okay. People might why did he immediately go to eight.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: I like to always go one inch less than my
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: penis size, so that is why I stuck with eight.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: What else can I promote? I can promote the book
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: Welcome to Pawnee. I can promote I don't know if

• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: I will tell you there are correct answers, so be
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: very careful. But you're gonna tell me if they're a
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: gift or a curse? And why? Does that make perfect sense?

• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: if I'm going to be forced to shove down awful water,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: I want that water to be cold. So gift correct.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: I love ice. It is a fascinating phenomenon that the
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: United States seems to be the only place that puts
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: ice in.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: It does seem to be, Yes, it does seem to be.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: We love an ice cold drink, but cold roomed. I
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: have like grown to like a room temperature water, but
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: I always prefer an ice water.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: And I as much as I do want my eyes.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: I also when I get my diet coke and McDonald's,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: I will say light ice please, because I do get
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: a little pissy bridger when I get three quarters of
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: a cup of ice and I'm done with that drink
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: that could have been soda exactly, So I do light
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: ice please, And you know they're thinking, you cheap fucker,
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: but I'm sorry. I want to enjoy that diet coke
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: and I want as much of it as I can get.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 3: I do that with cold brew. I always say light
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: right ice please makes sense sense. I don't want more
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: ice than I need.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: So I'm already correct no matter what else happened.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean you can. I mean you can
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: walk away having failed.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, well, welcome to my world.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: Okay. Number two this is from a listener named Amanda
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: gif to a curse old men at the gym working
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: out in jeans.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's the thing. I can say this because I'm
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: one of them. I am an old man. I'm sixty
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: two years old now, which shocks me every day, like
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: I still feel like I'm twenty and just stupid, but
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 2: I'm not. And here's what happens with old men at
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: the gym now, I don't do jeans, but I'll do
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: my shorts whatever. And here's what else I don't do
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: that old men seem to want to do at the gym.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: I don't walk around naked in the gym because your
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: balls are sagging to your knees and nobody needs to
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: see it. Now, I just again, I keep saying, just
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: came back from Europe where I'm on a beach and
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: people don't care, and there's balls hanging and there's boobs flapping,
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: and God blessed, they're probably mentally better off than I
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: could ever be, because that's human. It's called being human.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: Balls sag on men, boob sag on women. As we
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: get older, this is everything. Everything SAgs, asses, sag at
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: all SAgs. So I find it to just be like,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: it makes me chuckle a little, and I feel better
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: than because I don't wear jeans and I am one
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: of them. So I'm proud of myself. So I'm gonna
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: say no, so curse, right, is that my curse? Curse?
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: Oh Jim, it's a gift.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, If it's a gift, here's the only explanation I
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: think you're gonna come up with, because it's not a gift.
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 3: Take that you're war we're not coming up with anything.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: I'm going to share a truth.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: Could it be? Could it be because I know what
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: I look like. I'm in shorts right now as we speak.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think I didn't catch an le's eyeing me.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, I get it. Hey, I don't
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: blame it. You're human. Uh she sees this package going
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: on here.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: We're all looking at these shorts.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: We're all looking. We see we say how it's cupping
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: the buttocks. We get it, we get it. But maybe
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: because you know, skin gets funkier as we get older
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: and stuff like. Otherwise, explain to me how pants are
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: a good thing.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: Jeans at the gym look incredible. Everybody jeans at the gym.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: It's get Let me put a pair of jeans for
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: you right now, and you tell me that looks incredible. No,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: I I would like judge in here because I'm feeling.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling this is you're.
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: Looking at a baby. Damn it. Jeans of the gym.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: Everybody loves it. Gives us something to talk about.
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: Well it does. Well, guess I'll give you that. It
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: gives you something to talk about.
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: And it's something. You know, you go into the gym,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: everybody's looking incredible, and then you know it balances the scales.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: Somebody's working out in their jeans, It's like, what what
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 3: is going on?
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, when you're miserable on the treadmill, you can look
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: and think in your head, oh my god, what is
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: happening over there? And yes, it makes a minute go
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: by that this drudgery, it makes a little less painful.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there should be more denim at the gym.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: I disagree, but we will agree to disagree.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: Well, you don't get the point, you're not going to
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: get it.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: And how much per point? I forgot? How much is
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: what is the price?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 3: A billion?
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Damn it?
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: So you're you've got a billion points?
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: I got a billion? Okay, okay, and I can turn those.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: In for those we're working on a program.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: How that turns out.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: We're trying to get the app together.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: Here's a Golden Girls mask.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, number three, this is your chance for a little
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: bit bit of redemption. This is from a listener named
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: and I'm so sorry. I r A N n v
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: E I g ron vig. It feels very Scandinavian to me,
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 3: it does. Ron vig ron vigue, my apologies, Ronnie. Gift
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 3: or a curse? Clouds drifting in front of the sun
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: in the sky?
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 2: I live in La So I screamed that that's a gift.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: I screamed that that's a gift because you get moments
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: of release from the intense sun, the intense heat. So
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: for me, Jim O'Hare now, so maybe because you're being
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: very weird about these answers, so I need maybe I
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: need to base this not just on my thoughts, but
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: on how the world would think. And I'm going to
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: think for the world now, Bridger, and I'm going to say,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: damn it, the world agrees with me. And it's a
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: good thing. Clouds are good. That's where I'm going. I'll
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: fight you one to the death on this one.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 3: You've got one billion out of three billion?
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: How is that occur?
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: It's a curse. Clouds have the entire sky to be
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: It's a desperate move on cloud's part. The sun. Let
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: the yes. Let the sun do its thing. The clouds
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: you've got everywhere you can possibly be, Let the sun
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: do its thing.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: It's a combo. It's an the sky the clouds friendly.
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: No, the sun has got to have its own private
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: space in the sky.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: Damn you, Bridger.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: I need to be able to look directly at the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: sun whenever I want.
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: Wow. Okay, okay, I mean you are out of your
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: mind and I am going to file agrievance. At least
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 2: who is there a form? Who do I is? There
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: is there hr department here that would be me? That
• 1:13:51

  Speaker 3: Only time will tell a last look at me? Look
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 3: the lace.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 2: Damn it. I think I know where she's gonna fall out.
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: Oh well, I hate to hear you fail so badly.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: Just so you know, I'll go to I will sleep
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: tonight with my head soundly on that pillow, knowing I
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: was three for three. Now you can judge at how
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: you will, but you are in correct. I will say
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 2: you were true to.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 3: Who you are.
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: I am true to who I am.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 3: You know you've believed in yourself and that there is
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 3: something in that. It's not a win, but it is something.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: It's something.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, let's move on. This is the final segment
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: of the podcast. This is called I Said no emails.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: People write into I Said No gifts at gmail dot
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 3: com begging for answers to all of life's problems, all
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 3: kinds of things. Well, you help me answer a question.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: Sure I can. I'm very smart. I played doctors on televisions,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: I played lawyers. I'm an idiot in real life, but
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: I have played those characters.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, perfect, let's get into this. It says, dearest Bridger
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 3: and guest. Every year, one of my friends hosts a
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 3: small and lovely Halloween party. Okay, I don't have any
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 3: friends like that. She has let me know that this
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: year she's asking everyone in attendance to take part in
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 3: a secret Satan gift exchange, where we'll all give each
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 3: other Halloween themed gifts. Since I've been given this information early,
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: I want to be prepared any ideas for gifts I
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: could contribute to. The monetary limit on any exchanges is
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: usually capped at fifteen dollars because we're all poor grad students.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: Sure your time and help is appreciated. Take care, Chloe. Interesting,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: this is an interesting.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: That is interesting. I like, I love a party. I'm
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: not a dress up guy, so generally Halloween is like
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: a bit of a pain in the ass if there's
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: a dress up party. But I do think like a
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: secret Sanna is always fun, So I'm guessing this would
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: be fun also. Okay, so I do like that thought. Boy,
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: where can you get a finger? Like, just a finger
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: that doesn't seem too hard to get in a box.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: Just put a finger in a box? No, for fifteen bucks?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: What can you get?
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you probably could get a finger for
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: fifteen depending on which part of town you're in.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it could.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, and you also have ten of your own
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: you do if you really want to commit to this
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: little project, you can do at home.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: And it's free if you have good insurance, because insurance
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: will cover the sutures. And you're giving this gift, yeah,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: under fifteen bucks. I don't know.
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 3: I mean my thought, I'm seeing the word satan. Yeah,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: and I'm seeing it's got to be cheap. I'm thinking
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: anytime I'm at an estate sale, I'm thinking, every object
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: here is haunted. Find in a state sale, interesting, find
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: in a state sale by any item there, it will
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: be haunted. And then that that's the gift. It's such
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: a beautiful obviously, look for something that looks a little spooky, right.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: I don't like the shop and to me and the
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: state sale is shopping and we've gone over this. I
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: couldn't do it.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: Look as snooping.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: I like snooping.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: That's kind of how I look at the state sales.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to open a cabinet in the bathroom, of course,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 2: if they have some you know, pills there whatever. Don't
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: judge me. Um yeah, that nobody. You're right. You just
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 2: say this is from a haunted because you don't know
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: what's haunted or what's not. Absolutely said, I could take
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: something from any one of my drawers and say it's
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: from somewhere. No one knows what the hell I've done.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: But the feeling will be there, the evil feeling.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: Will be the premise of the evening. Yeah, yeah, that's great.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: You've got to bring something evil into this exchange.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: I like to think I bring my personality, and that
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: is evil, pure pure.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: That's kind of what you're known as, kind of demonic figure. Yes,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: I mean calling upon a demon is always free as well.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 2: Don't say beetlejuice three times time.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: Don't do it, bloody Mary.
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: Oh I used to do that.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: Oh I love you, yes, yes.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: And I'd steer in that mirror. We had a little
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: in the house I grew up, and we had a tiny, one,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: tiny little guest bathroom, and I would just steer in
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: that mirror and just scare the shit out of myself.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 3: But I never got to a visit.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: You know, I never did either, But I was sure
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: sometimes because if you close your eyes really tight and
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: open them fast, your own reflection scarcely right, because you're
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: not exactly sure what you're seeing for that brief moment.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: And that's a great failing. Yeah, I feel like that's
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: a great thing. Is a Wiji board fifteen dollars?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 2: Maybe? Oh?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: Really, you got a coupon?
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe a coupon that. I think they're going to be
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: more than that.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're probably ninety nine nineteen. I would have even
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: thought more so, nineteen ninety nine. It is not that's
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 3: only five dollars more. Nobody's got to know that she's.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: Twenty bucks to talk to the dead. That's not bad. Oh,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: that's a credit, is a you know what it costs
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: me to have a good phone plan from Europe back here?
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: That was way more than twenty bucks. Of course, I
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: talk to the dead nineteen ninety five. I'm on board.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: Are you scared of Satan?
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: I'm actually a Catholic, A practicing Catholic, and not that
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: I go to church every week, but I am a
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: Catholic guy and was raised that way and fell away
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: and then came back and all that stuff. But I'm
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: not I'm what they call a cafeteria Catholic, right. I
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 2: believe what I believe, and I don't believe the stuff
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: I don't want to believe. I'm I'm very pro birth control.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: I'm very pro LGBTQ. I don't care who mary, have
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: a good time, be safe. I'm pro whatever can something
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: adults are involved in. I'm all on board with that. Uh.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: That being said, I don't believe in Satan, Okay, I
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: just don't. I think it's a way to keep people controlled.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: Which people could say, well, religion is a way to
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: keep people controlled, and that's probably that could absolutely be true.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: I certainly have my doubts about certain things. Who knows.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're supposed to believe an arc carried two
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: of every animal and then the earth was flooded by
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: a wonderful God who loves us, but he killed all
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: these people on the earth.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: And so anyway, there's a lot of bad days.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: We all have bad days. Yes, Oh, I hate when
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 2: God has bad days. It just really isn't good for us. No,
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: but I have faith. I believe there's something after this.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: I believe when my time comes, which I'm hoping, I
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 2: assume before midnight.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 3: Tonight, I'm going to attack you in the parking.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: No, I would think my heart will go by then.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: I would imagine.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 3: No, Oh, God, that doesn't happen enough, I know. Do
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: we have your permission to release you?
• 1:20:06
