• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm very excited today. We have a special guest here

  Speaker 1: with us, Milan Patel from Los Angeles. Hi, Milan. How
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: are you?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, Sari. I'm doing good. It was cool to see
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: you groove over there for a second.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that intro music is- I was gonna groove a little.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It was kind of hot, right? Hopefully people will also
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: check the video option. It's kind of funky.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: It was good. I liked it.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm very excited that you're coming to visit us
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: at Mic Drop in Chandler this Sunday. Have you been
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to Phoenix or Chandler before?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: No, I haven't. Sorry. Everybody's blowing up right now. I
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: have audio coming in from a different source right now.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. Okay, sorry. You can try that again. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: let's do it again.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That's all right. That's why we got Nick. She's a pro.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Have you ever been to Phoenix or Chandler before?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when I was a kid. I have some family
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: friends that live, I think, actually in Chandler. So It's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: been maybe 20 years, probably more than that, since I've
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: been to Phoenix. But I've been all around Arizona. We
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: went to Sedona and I forget where.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Tustin?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Is Tustin a place?
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Tustin? I think so. If so, I don't know what
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: it is. Did you get some crystals in Sedona?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: We went panning for gold somewhere. That's a good one.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: And, uh, somebody did find gold. I think we were
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: kids and like one of my cousins did find like
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: a gold nugget, uh, that was actually worth quite a bit.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: So that's exciting. Big mistake from the, from the goal,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: from the gold, the mining company to like leave that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: one in the mix. There's, there's, I'm pretty sure they're
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: supposed to find those ones before the tourists come over.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You said that was your cousin that found it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: What is that cousin doing now? Did they leverage that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: gold that they found?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. I mean, they're a billionaire now. Crypto? Yeah,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: they're like Warren Buffett. They turned one gold nugget into
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: a billion dollars of crypto.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I happen to love Sedona. It's like, I don't know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: an hour and a half or two hours north from
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: us here in Phoenix. But it's definitely a strange place
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: where everyone's just like, come get your aura red and
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: get your crystal. I like going there. The hiking there
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: is really beautiful. There's a lot of people outside. But
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: it's a for sure, like, it's a weird spot.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I can imagine.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's something to those red rocks. There's some
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: weird force emanating in that part of the desert.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: They are magical.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: They're very cool. It's a distinct memory of mine. So
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: all that is to say, yes, I've been to Phoenix before.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: The only thing I remember about Phoenix is when I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: was a kid, I wanted to play basketball there. at 5pm.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: And everyone looked at me like I was crazy. They're like,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: we you can't go outside right now. It's it's five
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: o'clock in the afternoon. Like you'll die.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Okay. And I'm assuming this was like summertime.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: This was summertime. Yeah. People were looking at me like
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I was insane.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you'll be happy to know right now in February,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the weather is very nice. You might even need a jacket.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, that is good. That's kind of why I did
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: this podcast is to get a weather report from you guys.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I am a woman on the ground for you. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: can tell you today the weather was beautiful. It was
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: a little cold and rainy. So you can get your
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: like white girl, your coffee and kind of hold it
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and like look out the window while you're here. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: think you'll like it much more than trying to play
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: basketball in the afternoon in the summer when you can
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like fry eggs on the sidewalk. Yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I look forward to that. That's a vibe.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be doing that. It's actually in California.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: It's the exact same weather. It's just been like raining
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and then like slightly cool. So I think I'm much
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: more mentally prepared now to come to Phoenix. It's 20
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: years in the making, but I'm finally ready to conquer Phoenix.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You know, I have a feeling you're going to find
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: gold again.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, comedic gold. Is that a good transition?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think we're crushing it. Um, so you,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you live in Los Angeles. Yes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, I do. I've lived here for seven years now almost,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: but I'm from Portland, Oregon, or like a suburb of Portland, Oregon.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: It's called Vancouver, Washington. Yeah.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So is your move from Portland to LA? Is that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: for comedy or for when you were doing that?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely moved here to do standup and, uh, writing
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: and other types of things.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So Nice. So how long have you been out in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: About seven years now.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Okay. And what part of LA do you reside?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: I just moved to Glendale. I moved today, actually.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I was going to mention it. I was like, not
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: to put you on the spot, but Nick, our producer,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and I were talking and I was like, he said
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he's moving today. I was like, that's pretty impressive because
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that's usually a super stressful experience. Yeah.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a little less stressful. I'm moving in with
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: my girlfriend who already lives in this place. So it's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: not like having to move in somewhere, set up the Wi-Fi.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, that would be impressive if I called the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: internet company. I was like, hey, I have to record
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: this podcast. And you guys, ASAP.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I'm very important. We need to get this set up.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: That's why I was impressed yesterday. You were like, yeah, no,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: it'll be fine. We'll have it set up. I was like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: are you sure? We can reschedule if you need to.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You probably thought like, wow, this guy has a
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: whole team just setting up his internet for.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Him and like his assistant and his manager on it.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: It's all me. It's all me.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. So you, it sounds
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: like you started doing comedy in Portland. Is that right? Yes.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I started in Seattle actually when I went to
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: college in Seattle. So, um, first couple of years of
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: doing comedy was there and then moved to Portland after
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that and was in Portland for like, I don't know,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: like five or six years doing comedy.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Very cool. How was your experience starting in Portland?
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Portland was fun. There was a lot of comedy. There
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: was a lot of opportunity to do stand-up when I
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: was there, and Seattle is technically where I started, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I had a really great time living in Seattle and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: doing comedy there because it's a bigger city than Portland,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and there were just lots of a lot of diversity
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: in terms of like the types of comedy and the
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: types of comedians that you would see. And then Portland
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: was kind of going into a smaller kind of friendlier
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: scene and just having a lot of opportunities to like
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: get on stage and kind of develop my voice. So I, I,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I love starting in Seattle and Portland. I made a
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: lot of, you know, great friends and was able to
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: kind of develop there.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: That's really cool. I'm thinking I haven't performed in Portland. My,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like things I've heard about this, like the scene there
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: and people there, obviously people worrying about like, you know,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: saying the wrong thing or people being offended. So it's,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it's interesting to hear. I've also heard that people are
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: just like, yeah, if you're not a jerk or a
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: horrible person, like you can do comedy everywhere. There's tons
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of great opportunities there.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Like when I was there I, maybe,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: maybe now it's less, uh, woke, I guess, uh, just
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: because everything's less woke now, but I'm actually very grateful for,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: you know, being in a place like that when I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: was developing, because it forces you to, um, you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: to be sensitive and careful about what you say and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: like how you say it. And it kind of made
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: me a better comedian and, In general, the culture and
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: the politics of a place like that are what I
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: agree with anyway. So I brushed up against it a
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: lot in my early years of doing comedy, but I'm
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: ultimately grateful for learning how to do comedy there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: That's really cool to hear. We should cut that soundbite.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: That's nice to hear that it encourages people you know,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to not just go for like the, the first thought
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: or low hanging fruit to like really consider and do
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: thoughtful comedy. Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of thoughtful, like interesting comedy
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: that has comedians that have come out of Portland, whether
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: they still live there, live in LA now.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: So what would you say in moving to LA? What
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: was like the biggest shock for you, either LA related
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: or comedy related, like moving there from. from Portland and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: after living like more Pacific Northwest, I know coming out
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: to LA, like what were you just like, this place
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: is bonkers.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Um, not in a bad way, but it's bonkers. Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: I was just, I had a blast. Like a lot
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: of people move to LA and they maybe don't like it,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: especially if they come from a smaller scene, but I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: was just so, uh, taken aback in a good way by, uh,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: like how many shows were happening every night, like how
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: many comedians were performing, how many different types of comedians. Again,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: just like the diversity of, you know, comedians and comedic
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: styles and all that stuff. Like I was in a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: good way blown away and surprised by how endless it
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: all feels and and I've gotten to know more people
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: as I've been here over the last few years but
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: it still feels like there's a lot of stuff I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: don't know and there's always new people moving here and
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: there's new people starting shows and it just feels like
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: uh in a good way like I'll never be able
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: to understand the breadth of you know, what's going on here,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: either both in comedy and then like other art forms too.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I've met people that do, you know, TV stuff,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: film stuff, like animation, art. And I was, that was, yeah,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that was kind of the thing that I was blown
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: away by. Hmm.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Are you interested in those avenues as well?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I like writing. I have animated before and I'm
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: interested in getting back into it again.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And I like everything, so I'm very flexible. And stand-up,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I'll always kind of do stand-up because it's just what
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I've been doing for so long and I enjoy it.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm definitely interested in all those other things too.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: But it sounds like the stand-up aspect of it came
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: first for you?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stand-up just was the first thing that I did.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It's the most accessible thing. I mean, for better or
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: for worse, it's a pretty low barrier to entry. You
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: just have to... I mean, most places you can just like.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Afford a Diet Coke, you can get on stage and
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: pretty much say whatever you want. I don't know if
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: that's a good thing or a bad thing.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Let's not put that out there. We don't want to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: spread the word. You're like, if you're a little bit
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: mentally ill and you got like a dollar or whatever
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: for a soda.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people are like, I could afford a Diet Coke.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I just went through a divorce. I could say some
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: horrible things into a microphone.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. This guy on this podcast said I could do it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he believed in me. Um, real quick, Nick, um,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: do you have any, uh, updates? I'm looking, we can
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: just keep, uh, chatting, but it looks like we're still
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: awaiting our questions. Yeah. So far we're waiting.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Um, I even texted Jenny and Carlos direct, even if
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: they gave me screenshots.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Um, but we'll see.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: That's fine. I just was like, I don't want to
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: keep yapping.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Um, if, If we got, I can try to, I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: can try to guess like your favorite foods.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Yes. You want to guess the answers without.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Just your favorite movie, your, uh, I don't know. Favorite
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: article of clothing.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Um, I was really excited to see, cause I, followed
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: you on social media for for looks like years before
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: this I don't know um where I saw you but
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: yeah I love all of your clips and I was
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: excited to see you recorded um at or you performed
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: at Netflix as a joke.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah uh they do like a Netflix introducing series uh
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: every year and uh they record a little special for
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: you it's I think mine's like about nine ish minutes
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: uh and they put it on YouTube. So it's confusing,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: but I have a Netflix special on YouTube. It's only
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: on YouTube, but it was a cool opportunity to do.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: It was my first taping.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, tell us about that, because I feel like that
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: would be so exciting and terrifying. What was that like
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: for you?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was surprised, but I was actually pretty scared,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: because I've been doing comedy for a really long time.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: And so when you get to do your first taping,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: you know, like 10, 15 years into standup, there's a
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: lot of pressure on it. And so your instincts do
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: kick in eventually, but it was cool. We did like
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: a early show and a late show, and then you
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: get to kind of like edit together the best parts
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: of each one or whatever. But it, I think mine
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: ended up just being the late show was my set
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that I ended up doing, but, Yeah, it was like
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: a nerve wracking thing, but I invited a lot of
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: my friends out and preparing for it was a really
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: interesting experience because it's not like preparing for a regular show,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you're preparing for a film showcase type of thing. And
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: so I had a lot of opportunities to like run
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the set around LA before I filmed it. And the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: actual experience was really cool just because it was like
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a huge theater in Los Angeles.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Where was it? It looked really beautiful.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I want to say the Avalon Theater in Los Angeles.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: And I think it's in West Hollywood. And yeah, it
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: was just really cool. It was cool to perform in
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: a huge theater that was packed out. And other than that,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: it was kind of just like doing a normal set.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: That was something with Netflix. Did they obviously like, for
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a late night set, they would maybe tell you like,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: don't say this, or you can't, you know, use this
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: brand name. Does Netflix do anything like that with your
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: material or they're just like, go for it, say what
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you want?
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think overall they're just like, go for it,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: say whatever you want. There's not the same restrictions as
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: you would have with TV, obviously, because this is just
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: gonna go online. So you can say whatever you want,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: but they pick people, I think, who they believe will
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: do material that's in line with what they want to
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: put out there anyway. So they give you notes before
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: you do your set. You kind of tell them the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: jokes that you want to do. And they can, obviously,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they could say yes or no to certain things,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: but nothing that I wanted to do was controversial or
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: anything like that.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Not really.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But I mean, also, you just think about like

• 15:57
  Speaker 2: who say crazy stuff. And so there's not much that
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you could say, I think, at this point that's going
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: to shock anyone.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It would be wild if you had gotten that
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: opportunity and you were like, you know what? I'm going
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: to do some like bad boy comedy stuff and just
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: like blow your head into the theater with like your
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: worst possible takes. Yeah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, you joke, but like there were people on

  Speaker 2: the showcase where like the first, the first show, the
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: first taping, they did stuff where they like, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: flipped off the Netflix logo on, sorry, I don't know

• 16:51
  Speaker 2: sticking it to a company that you agreed to do
• 16:53

• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a big sports guy. What is the fourth number in pie?

  Speaker 2: It can't be five. Is it five?
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, it is not five. Okay. Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be like four or five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: That would be, I mean, that would be cool if
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it was, we're actually approaching pie day. Have you ever
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: celebrated pie day three 14?

• 22:39
  Speaker 2: all going to eat pie.

• 22:43
  Speaker 1: a big party for pie day. Cause obviously a huge
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: nerd and everybody would bring different pies and pizza and celebrate.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Pi Day? Unfortunately, the answer is one. I think it's
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: like 3.1417. I don't.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Know.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like I used to know how many. Nick,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: do you know? How many digits of pi? Also, this
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: was the softball question.
• 23:14

  Speaker 1: were studying in up in seattle.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: It was yes i wasn't memorizing.
• 23:25

  Speaker 2: writing so.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: It's actually perfect for comedy.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: The trajectory was to go into advertising, but I started
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: touring ad agencies and I hated everybody who worked in
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: advertising because they thought they were really funny and it
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: bothered me.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I get that. I do some copywriting and stuff for
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: ad agencies and I understand what you are.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: There's a personality type.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: There is, there is like the branding people. And I'm like, oh,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I'm very different from you. I'm like more shy and,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: and weird. And they're like really excited and have lots
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: of ideas.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Lots of ideas.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. Maybe I oversold this one. I'm hoping that
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: this is going, this next one is going to be
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit more in the softball. How many ounces
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: are in a pound of 16 ounces. Yes. Crushed it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Crushed it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: And that's just for anybody that is not a softball question. Only,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: only geniuses would know that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: The answer to that.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: That's a business. And what was it? Creative writing, marketing, English.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Only a creative writing major would know how many ounces
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: are in a pound.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I feel this way when I have
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: to do math at my barista job. I'm like, oh,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: good thing I paid attention when I was getting a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: gender studies and American studies degree.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that is actually pretty relevant in the barista game.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: There's probably gender politics that come into play.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Thank you. Thank you. I'll let my
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: parents know that I haven't totally just wasted time. All
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: of my money. Okay, this is a good one. I'm

• 27:38
  Speaker 1: the other names of the the quote unquote artists that
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: performed there at the TPU halfway halftime show. I just
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: can't imagine missing bad bunnies halftime show to witness that. Yeah.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: There were definitely some younger people there that were like, man,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I wish my mom didn't make me come to this.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Like it, it, it kind of, it kind of looked
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: like church almost like, like, Oh man, I wish we
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: weren't here right now. Um, I did see some pretty
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: bad dancing. That's all I remember. That's all I saw
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: from the Kid Rock halftime show. It was some like.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I imagine so.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Just offbeat dancing on the.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: It was JD. It was JD Vance and Usha Vance. Uh,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: he had his arms around her and they both looked
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: incredibly uncomfortable and they were trying to rock, rock out
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: to Kid Rock. Anyways.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Terrible. Who knew that Kid Rock would still be around and, uh,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the year 2026, the year of our Lord. I know. Oh,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I think you named, I don't know,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: four or five. I feel like that should be a
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: bonus point. I don't, I don't handle the scoring. I
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: don't know who does, but I feel like you named
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a couple of good ones. You did mention Beyonce though. That,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that's a really good Superbowl halftime show.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Yeah. Maybe I get one subtracted for missing her.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like a beehive is going to come
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: for you. Maybe they'll show up on Sunday to your
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: show just to set you straight.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't care. If they buy tickets, I'm
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: totally fine with that. They can heckle me for an hour.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, beehive, listen up. He actually, specifically before we recorded,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: he was like, I hate Beyonce.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I also hate Taylor Swift. So if there's
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: any Swifties that want to come out, yeah, and tell
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: me what's what.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, after you buy a ticket and some merch.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, I would hate that. Oh, I would hate that
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: so much.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I would make him furious and you could venmo him
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: a tip what terrible.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah that would really stick it to me.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: All right we're gonna keep it moving question number four
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: who is on the two dollar.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Bill that's a tough one uh okay andrew jackson or
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: is that.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: That's a really good guess. The answer is Thomas Jefferson.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Ah, I have a good story about a $ 2 bill.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I was working front desk at a motel. And I
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: would I was not happy to be working that job.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: And a guy I just the customers were terrible. And
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: one time that guy came in, he was like, Hey,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: I need to use the phone. Can you get can
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: you give me change for a $ 2 bill? And I
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm not taking that, sorry. We don't take
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: $ 2 bills. And he was like, you have to take this.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: This is legal tender. And I was like, listen, I
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: don't take $ 2 bills. That's just a rule that I have.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: I don't even know where I would put it in
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: the register, honestly. We don't have the slot for that.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: And he was furious. And I'm glad I stood my ground.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I don't take $ 2 bills.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Wow. Okay. So for anybody coming to the show on Sunday...
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: You can pay him, but not in $ 2 bills.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I won't accept it.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Do vending machines, can you use a $ 2 bill in
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: a vending machine? Do we know?
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I want to say no, because vending machines are pretty
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: explicit about being like, we take ones, fives, and tens,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and that's it.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I think if you put a $ 2 bill in a vending.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Machine, it would literally explode. All right.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Well, now I'm tempted. I have a bunch saved because
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: there was a barista job that I worked. Like I said,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I got a really valuable degree. So I worked a
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: lot of barista jobs. And this guy would always tip
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: us in $ 2 bills. He's like, you gotta save that, sweetheart.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be worth a lot someday. And I'm like, okay,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: but I have to pay rent now.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: He's paying you in $ 2 bills, $ 1 Sacagawea coins, and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: then 50 cent coins. That's the only tender he has.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, do you have any Bitcoin? It's probably
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a lot better.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't know what it's worth. He's like, all right,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: one Bitcoin.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: That'd be great. All right, so our man Thomas Jefferson
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: is the answer. Friend of the pod, probably.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Friend of the pod, yeah.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: American hero.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: We all love Jefferson.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Yep. All right. This is a, this is a good one.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: This is a question near and dear to my heart.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: What instrument does animal play in the Muppets?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Animal plays the drums.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I almost said guitar. That would have looked like a
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: huge idiot.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: For a second I pictured him like jamming out too,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: but it is, it is the drums. Do you have
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: a favorite Muppet?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Um, I don't have a favorite. I do love the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Muppets or like, I was much more acquainted with all
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the different Muppets when I was younger. And I don't,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I can't recall all the weird ones. I mean, I love,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I love Kermit. Obviously we all love Kermit.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Uh, sorry.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I sound like Trump. We all love Kermit. Uh, we
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: all love him and Piggy. He likes calling people Piggy.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: We hate Piggy, but we love Kermit. I don't know
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: why he's with her. Um, He could do much better.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Who else do I like? Oh, I like the Swedish chef.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Is he? That's a Muppet, right? Yeah. I confuse Muppets
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: with Sesame Street sometimes, so I don't remember which ones
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: are which.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I think. Sorry, might
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: have froze.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, I think she did. It's a good freeze frame, though.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: She's smiling. Yeah, it's beautiful.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Can you guys... I'm back!
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I just took a moment to zone out thinking about
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the Muppet.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Sorry, you might have cut out for a lot of it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I did a really good Trump impression. I'll go ahead
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: and do that for you again.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I actually really liked it. I was going to ask
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: if you do that in your act.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. I feel like you could. Maybe I will.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe bust it out for Chandler. It's always... an interesting
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: vibe in in arizona you never.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Know yeah yeah maybe they like it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: All right this is this is a good one um
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: sixth question where is the mona lisa located.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: This is a trick question because i i know it's
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: it's in the louvre but i don't know if it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: been transported since then so i'm gonna say the i'm
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: gonna say the.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Louvre yeah that is correct ding ding ding.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: There was a robbery at the Louvre last year. It
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: was crazy. Did you hear about that?
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, that was really wild.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: On the way out, one of the guys dropped a crown.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: What?
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: They stole a crown, but the guy dropped it on
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the way out.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Not a true king.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Not a true king, but I think they're still at large,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: so if you see anybody wearing a crown in France,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: that might be the guy.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought they might have caught the people that
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: did this.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right, actually.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: That was such a crazy story.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they, like, pretended to be construction guys, I think,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: and so they rented construction equipment and then, like, got
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: a ladder into the second floor of the Louvre. It's
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: pretty cool. I'm glad people are still doing art heists,
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: I love it. I thought it was very exciting. A
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: nice break from all of the horrible news. I mean,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: don't steal art, but exciting. It's nice to have some
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: more fun and lighthearted news every once in a while.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, yeah, do steal art. I want people
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: to be focused more on that than what's going on.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: That would be actually a nice break.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: No, you're right. Bank robberies, art heists, I'm okay with
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: it as long as nobody gets hurt. Yeah.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: No, that's the kind of resistance we like to see.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: I also like that. Cause I've seen there's somebody I
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: followed on Instagram. They're like, if you're wearing a yellow,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: like a reflective vest, you can pretty much get away
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: with anything. And they were setting up benches and public spaces,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: which is like, obviously, you know, a huge crime, but
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: they're just like, yeah, if you're wearing a vest, you
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: can do anything. My husband was like, baby, we need
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: to get some yellow reflective vest and we can just
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: go around the neighborhood. Like, setting up all kinds of
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: like benches and chairs they're like god forbid a homeless
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: person should sit down here that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: Is that is a funny example that you can do
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: whatever you want you could even do construction it's like
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: okay if.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: You have clipboards you can use those as well you
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: look very important yeah that's true.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah you could be a doctor you could you could
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: get away with a lot yeah.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Wow You guys are giving me some really great ideas.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I do love sneaking into places. Mine is carrying a box.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: If you're carrying a box, usually people are just like, yeah,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: go ahead. You're bringing that backstage. Go ahead.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. You can get into places carrying a
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: box for sure.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just like I was told to bring these to
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the south entrance. And they're like, oh, yeah. Or do
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you guys need more? Yeah, it works.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you idiot. This is the west entrance. Yeah, go ahead.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when you bust out your improv skills and
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you just go along with it. All right, I have
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: another question. I believe a softball question for you. Who
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: invented the telephone?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Alexander Graham Bell. Easy.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see? I do think maybe the first one, the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: pie question, I feel like that may be a little tricky. Yes,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: in hindsight, no. Her folks who didn't have their high
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: school career memorizing pie.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: I would answer a question about the food pie. I
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: think I would be good at something like that. But
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: the mathematical pie, not so much.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite pie?
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I do. Well, I have a few. Weirdly, I just
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: love pumpkin pie. I know it's not the best pie,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: but it's what I grew up eating at Thanksgiving. It's
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: the first pie I ever had. So... I know people
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: think pumpkin pie is not good, but I have a
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: soft spot for it.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: All right. So that's another hot tip for people coming
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: to the show. They can bring you some pumpkin pie
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: if they.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Really, any baked good would be welcome. And I'll eat anything.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: So if you're trying to poison me, if you're like
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: a weird stalker, just so you know, it'll work. I'll
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: eat whatever you bring it.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great policy to have. this is a
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: good comedy related question number 8 what was the name
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: of David Chappelle this says David Chappelle Dave Chappelle I
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: guess formal I know they know him personally what was
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: the name of Dave Chappelle's first comedy special.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Oh man I think I think Killing Them Softly was
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: his second special so you know what I don't know
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what the first one was.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: That might be because his first special was killing them softly. Ah.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: damn it i feel like points for that because you
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: knew the name you just.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Uh you doubted yeah i know i shouldn't have doubted myself.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I actually I remember that because I remember speaking of
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: stealing art to our previous question. I remember illegally downloading
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: that from like Kazaa or whatever the like third or
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: fourth generation. LimeWire. Yeah. I was like, it's not Napster,
• 39:55

  Speaker 1: All right. Number nine. What is the capital of Louisiana?
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: Capital of Louisiana. Gosh. I don't know. Is it New Orleans?
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: No, it should be though. The answer is Baton Rouge.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Baton Rouge.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Ban rouge yeah i know it's french sounding yeah that
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: was a pretty that was always like a a weakness
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: of mine in school i was terrible at like memorizing
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: the state.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Capitals yeah that was a tough one i.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Should have told you guys that before i agreed to
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Podcast i mean i still think you're you're crushing it
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: um have you ever been to louisiana any part like
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: for comedy or anything.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: No, but I'd love to go. I'd love to go
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: just to visit, even not to do comedy, because no,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I've never been.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, fantastic city. Speaking of New Orleans,
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: wonderful city, but I know they just are probably recovering
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: from Mardi Gras this week. I wonder if that's why
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: they picked Louisiana for this one. I'm sure New Orleans
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: is recovering right now from lots of partying.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: I want to do the The traditional Mardi Gras. There's
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: like an Anthony Bourdain No Reservations episode where he does
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: like the real Mardi Gras, where it's like just like
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: actual rednecks in New Orleans doing the traditional version of it.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: And it's it looks really, really cool.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: People dress up.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I'll have to find that, too. That sounds really fun.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I haven't been there for Mardi Gras, but I've been
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: to New Orleans and it's fantastic city. Really amazing.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: I heard there's a lot of parades. Parades and ghosts.
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And probably you could find some pie there. I
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: know they have some good baked goods.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: A beignet.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of, I think it's just king
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: cake is like the food for Mardi Gras. That's good.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: What is king cake?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Just some delicious pastry. And it has like a baby
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: hidden in it. They bake a little baby in it.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: And I think if you find the little plastic baby,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: it's like good luck or something. Maybe somebody can fact
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: check that for me if they are listening to this
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: and maybe yelling at their screen. Like this woman is
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: just making up facts about New Orleans.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Well, now I'm going to go to New Orleans and
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: every food I eat, hey, there's not a baby in this,
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: is there? Because I'll eat it.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: My favorite is when food has babies in it.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: Do you where's the yeah where's the dessert with the
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: baby in it.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Just out of context really horrible um all right 10th
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: and final question what model number of iphone did apple
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: skip i know this one i have to know this
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: one nine yeah yeah brilliant nice.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Cause they went for it. Cause I remember the eight
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: and then they went, they wanted it for some reason
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: they wanted to script. Everyone always wants to skip to
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: the X, you know, to the 10 or whatever. I
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: feel like it's been done before too.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: Not a lot of love for the number nine.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Why is that? I don't know. Shoot. Now I'm going
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: to want to Google that. I know.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah do we have a fact checker? Does anyone know
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: if any of what I'm saying is correct?
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: It does say that though that it went from 8
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: to iPhone X to celebrate the original 10th year but
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: no explanation why. I also feel like I had like
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: an iPhone 6 for many many years until like it
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: was good but it got to a point where I
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: was like oh I can't use this anymore it was
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: like you can't load anything on it. Like I couldn't
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: update stuff on it. And then I like very begrudgingly
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: upgraded to a phone and I'm hoping to have that
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: for another, you know, 12 years or so.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Me too. I, I, as much as I think technology
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: is cool and stuff, like I am the type of
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: person where it's like whatever car I have or phone
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: I have, I just want it to run for 20 years.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: I don't want to have to like buy a new
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: one or like get the new features or anything like that.
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: So I'm, I'm hoping my phone lasts me until, Hopefully
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: the world ends or something like that.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, from your mouth to God's ears. May our phones
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: all last through the apocalypse and cell phone towers work.

• 45:04
  Speaker 1: out of four. That's pretty good.
