- 1:15Speaker 5: I love that. It's good that you've done the Punchline
- 1:18Speaker 5: since you're a comedian.
- 1:20Speaker 4: Punchline is a club owned by Live Nation.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Punchline's where I saw the Day Players, Aaron.
- 1:27Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Oh, that's the biggest room they could get. It was
- 1:32Speaker 3: a comedy club.
- 1:34Speaker 5: Like Flappers?
- 1:35Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like Flappers. But they've had some huge names there.
- 1:41Speaker 5: Look, I don't care that you like the Day Players.
- 1:44Speaker 5: I just think it's funny. I know.
- 1:47Speaker 3: Who's your favorite member?
- 1:51Speaker 4: I started in a horror movie that was in Sacramento, too.
- 1:55Speaker 4: And we did a.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Tell me.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Yeah, you buried the lead.
- 1:59Speaker 4: What's it called? It's called Mr. TV Man. It's like
- 2:04Speaker 4: a 17-minute horror short, and I filmed it south of Sacramento,
- 2:09Speaker 4: in a big suburb south of Sacramento, in a studio.
- 2:12Speaker 4: And we premiered it last year at, God, what is
- 2:15Speaker 4: the name? It's like an old theater.
- 2:17Speaker 1: The Crest. The Crest Theater?
- 2:20Speaker 4: Colgate.
- 2:23Speaker 1: That's where all the old stuff... They do a horror
- 2:26Speaker 1: film festival there.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Maybe it was that. I can't remember. But it was... Like,
- 2:31Speaker 4: it looks like an old theater on the outside. Like, yeah.
- 2:36Speaker 4: And we premiered it there. And it was a pretty
- 2:39Speaker 4: big deal in Sacramento. I actually really... I think Sacramento
- 2:44Speaker 4: gets a bad rap. I do, too. I think people
- 2:47Speaker 4: shit on Sacramento, and then I go there, and I'm like,
- 2:48Speaker 4: you know what? I like it here.
- 2:49Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone shit on Sacramento. Is that
- 2:52Speaker 2: a California thing?
- 2:54Speaker 1: That's an Aaron thing.
- 2:55Speaker 3: She's like, why do people hate Sacramento?
- 2:58Speaker 5: There's nothing to do there.
- 3:01Speaker 3: There's no things to go do.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Sacramento has this amazing comedy scene and one of my
- 3:07Speaker 4: best friends in comedy is from there.
- 3:09Speaker 3: I look forward to spending... I think Kristen's best friend's
- 3:12Speaker 3: with Ryan now.
- 3:16Speaker 4: I like Sacramento. I'm actually flying into Sacramento on Monday.
- 3:22Speaker 3: For comedy?
- 3:23Speaker 4: No, my new job, I'm going to Twain Heart. Do
- 3:26Speaker 4: you know where Twain Heart is?
- 3:28Speaker 3: Bumfuck Nowhere.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a resort town, like a vacation town.
- 3:34Speaker 4: The company I work for owns a grocery store there.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Oh, nice.
- 3:38Speaker 4: Okay.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Fantastic. Erin, what about you? You've been traveling.
- 3:45Speaker 5: Yeah. I have been traveling. I had to go look
- 3:47Speaker 5: up my IMDb. To see if I had more credits
- 3:51Speaker 5: than Ryan or not.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Well, you have worked with Frank Stallone.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:54Speaker 3: That's impressive.
- 3:55Speaker 1: And Natalie Z.
- 3:57Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I met Natalie. Brittany Snow.
- 3:59Speaker 5: I met Natalie Z's husband who was.
- 4:03Speaker 3: I don't know who Natalie Z is. Is that a
- 4:05Speaker 3: Spice Girl?
- 4:06Speaker 5: She was on Passions.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Passions, I think.
- 4:09Speaker 5: I think.
- 4:11Speaker 3: You guys don't have to compare fame.
- 4:13Speaker 5: No, no, I was just curious.
- 4:14Speaker 1: It's not a competition.
- 4:16Speaker 5: I don't have a picture for my... No, no, no.
- 4:19Speaker 5: This wasn't like I felt less than, but he had
- 4:22Speaker 5: a really cool picture on his IMDb.
- 4:24Speaker 3: How do you get a picture on IMDb?
- 4:26Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like, the fuck do I get a picture?
- 4:28Speaker 5: I don't have one.
- 4:29Speaker 4: You just have to get a professional IMDb account.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Oh, I don't have time for that shit.
- 4:32Speaker 4: Yeah, you have to get a picture. You gotta pay
- 4:35Speaker 4: for it, and then you put your picture on. She's out.
- 4:38Speaker 3: What do they charge you for that?
- 4:39Speaker 4: Absolutely not. It's a monthly thing.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Oh, Ryan's picture is amazing because it's his head in
- 4:46Speaker 2: his hands.
- 4:47Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 4:49Speaker 3: And these great red sunglasses. And his, you've opened the
- 4:53Speaker 3: door and I have to poop face. That's weird.
- 4:57Speaker 5: I've seen that many times at my friend's house.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Oh, hard times.
- 5:00Speaker 5: T-shirt. Have you pooped at my house yet?
- 5:06Speaker 4: No.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Have you pooped at my house yet?
- 5:11Speaker 5: Oh, no, there's a point where, like.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Would you like us to take a break till then? No, no, no.
- 5:17Speaker 5: No, look, there's a point you get comfortable pooping in
- 5:20Speaker 5: the same place as your partner.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Sure.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Like Abby. Abby's very comfortable shitting in front of me.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Or on you.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:30Speaker 3: You should return the favor one day.
- 5:33Speaker 5: Next time I feel, like, really bubble gut-ish, I'm just gonna, like.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Just hold her behind you.
- 5:40Speaker 5: Hold her underneath my butt for the entire day.
- 5:44Speaker 2: She'll just sneeze up your butt. Before we recorded, she
- 5:49Speaker 2: sneezed in Aaron's face twice.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Well, that's my fault. Something about her being upside down
- 5:55Speaker 5: exacerbates something inside of her. And then she gets these
- 6:00Speaker 5: handful of really intense sneezes. There's a time frame and
- 6:04Speaker 5: an angle. And she was too far tilted back. It's like,
- 6:08Speaker 5: you don't shake a lava lamp, you shouldn't turn Abby
- 6:11Speaker 5: upside down for a certain amount of time. She's got
- 6:14Speaker 5: rules like a mogwai.
- 6:15Speaker 3: I've never tried to shake a lava lamp, is that
- 6:17Speaker 3: a thing?
- 6:19Speaker 5: Yeah, you're really not supposed to.
- 6:22Speaker 3: I never even would have thought to do that.
- 6:24Speaker 5: It fucks up the goo, and then you just have time.
- 6:26Speaker 5: Eventually it goes back together, I believe, but if you
- 6:30Speaker 5: shake it up, it separates everything, and it just looks
- 6:33Speaker 5: greasy and sad, and eventually it will find itself. Like
- 6:38Speaker 5: Orbit's soda. That was sad.
- 6:42Speaker 1: We bought my friend's dad a giant lava lamp because
- 6:45Speaker 1: he was like a hippie from back in the day.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Like probably four feet tall. Like it was a big
- 6:52Speaker 1: lava lamp.
- 6:53Speaker 3: That is big.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 6:53Speaker 1: It took like eight hours to even get it going.
- 6:56Speaker 3: I was just going to ask how long did it
- 6:57Speaker 3: take to warm up.
- 6:58Speaker 1: It took a long time.
- 7:00Speaker 3: It probably got really hot.
- 7:02Speaker 5: Yeah. We could get Abby in a lava lamp if
- 7:06Speaker 5: that sucks.
- 7:07Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
- 7:07Speaker 5: Fill it with resin. Keep her forever.
- 7:11Speaker 3: This is me.
- 7:13Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry.
- 7:14Speaker 5: That was floating.
- 7:17Speaker 3: I'm still with you.
- 7:18Speaker 6: Nope.
- 7:19Speaker 5: You are.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Put that lava lamp on the chair in the corner
- 7:23Speaker 1: and she'll be right at home.
- 7:25Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. We could get like a lamp with like
- 7:28Speaker 5: a stand. She'd still cuck.
- 7:31Speaker 1: From the lava lamp.
- 7:35Speaker 3: The Abby lamp. I like this idea. Let's see how
- 7:39Speaker 3: much it'll cost.
- 7:40Speaker 5: To be fair, just to be fair, Ryan, previously the
- 7:45Speaker 5: plan that Kristen and I had until we realized that
- 7:47Speaker 5: someone would be stuck with this atrocity was initially we
- 7:51Speaker 5: were going to taxidermy Abby and then her boy cat
- 7:55Speaker 5: Baylor into fancy little outfits and pose them together as
- 8:00Speaker 5: if they were a married couple in eternity. And then
- 8:03Speaker 5: we realized someone would have to have the two dead
- 8:06Speaker 5: animals dressed up in their home. Stop that.
- 8:11Speaker 3: I don't want them.
- 8:12Speaker 5: And now it's like Abby lava lamp.
- 8:15Speaker 1: What?
- 8:15Speaker 3: I do like Abby lava. Like it's funny.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:18Speaker 4: My, uh, my friend, uh, Brooke, uh, she actually was,
- 8:22Speaker 4: I think she lives in LA now, but she lived
- 8:24Speaker 4: in Santa Cruz for a long time. Uh, but, uh,
- 8:29Speaker 4: She does, you've probably seen them maybe in memes, but
- 8:33Speaker 4: she does taxidermy dioramas. Like, she finds, like, old taxidermy
- 8:41Speaker 4: and does a diorama in it. Like, a little, like, almost, like, dollhouse.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Like, little squirrels and outfits and stuff.
- 8:47Speaker 4: Just, like, or, like, little, just, like, little chairs and, like, little, like, it's,
- 8:51Speaker 4: it is really incredible.
- 8:53Speaker 3: You gotta have a hobby, I guess.
- 8:54Speaker 4: Oh, that's cool. Well, I mean, she's just an artist.
- 8:57Speaker 4: You know what I mean? So, it's, like, a, it's, like,
- 8:59Speaker 4: a cool, like, cool.
- 9:00Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 9:01Speaker 3: But she doesn't taxidermy them herself, or does she?
- 9:04Speaker 4: No, she buys, like, a lot of them are like old.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Old pre-taxed pre yeah like like an ira yeah like.
- 9:12Speaker 4: But uh but i think that she would probably counting
- 9:15Speaker 4: jokes do something fuck.
- 9:18Speaker 5: You i got so excited and then i got sad
- 9:22Speaker 5: because in my head i was like your artist friend
- 9:25Speaker 5: is gonna build the most amazing like forever forever abby
- 9:29Speaker 5: like artistic monument and it's gonna be.
- 9:31Speaker 1: Closer to my can.
- 9:35Speaker 3: I was thinking it she said it i.
- 9:38Speaker 5: Saw dear i have to keep taking my life back.
- 9:41Speaker 6: To the middle thank you kristen i appreciate you by
- 9:46Speaker 6: the way can we step back a second uh fuck

- 10:13Speaker 2: Slappy the kid all.
- 10:16Speaker 4: Right what's up with this episode.
- 10:18Speaker 3: Yes, our host is asking me. Our host Ryan is
- 10:21Speaker 3: asking me.
- 10:22Speaker 5: Did you just whistle your way into my show?
- 10:25Speaker 2: He did.
- 10:25Speaker 3: He opened the episode.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Yeah. Welcome.
- 10:29Speaker 1: He's our new plant.
- 10:31Speaker 4: Welcome.
- 10:32Speaker 3: Don't you take that away from James.
- 10:34Speaker 5: No.
- 10:35Speaker 2: Season 4, episode 13, if you'd stop welcoming me.
- 10:40Speaker 3: Is called The Impudence of Being Earnest.
- 10:44Speaker 5: Okay.
- 10:46Speaker 2: The original air date was February 4th, 1989. The director
- 10:50Speaker 2: was Steve Zuckerman. Writers Rick Kopp, David A. Goodman, and
- 10:55Speaker 2: Kevin Abbott. What do you think the impotence of being
- 10:58Speaker 2: earnest is about?
- 10:59Speaker 3: Yes, Erin.
- 11:00Speaker 5: I'm honestly sad every time Christopher Lloyd didn't help. Right.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Not that Christopher Lloyd. All right. Well, I know what
- 11:09Speaker 5: it's about. I had to watch it today and read
- 11:11Speaker 5: a quiz.
- 11:11Speaker 2: I just thought it was funny that Ryan came on
- 11:13Speaker 2: this one because it was blind date last week and
- 11:16Speaker 2: joke about it.
- 11:20Speaker 3: I'm sure Ryan's fine in that department. It just made
- 11:22Speaker 3: me giggle.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Oh God. I'm a, like, uh, like, listen, any guy
- 11:28Speaker 4: who gets it up every time, um, had an easy life. So, um,
- 11:33Speaker 4: you know, like it's, oh yeah.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Mansplain erections to us.
- 11:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I will. Um, This is now a bit I'm
- 11:39Speaker 4: going into, but I'm just warning you.
- 11:40Speaker 3: No, actually, you would know more than I would about this.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Yeah, but if you've created a haunted house in your brain,
- 11:48Speaker 4: you probably have some ghosts in the basement. You know
- 11:50Speaker 4: what I mean?
- 11:52Speaker 2: I think just sometimes it's like, what, physically? You're just like, no,
- 11:55Speaker 2: I just don't want to.
- 11:57Speaker 4: I mean. It happens.
- 11:59Speaker 5: It happens. I didn't want to wear pants last week
- 12:02Speaker 5: or leave my hotel during my business trip. Mm-hmm. I'm
- 12:06Speaker 5: pretty sure if you had been there and been like,
- 12:08Speaker 5: what's up?
- 12:09Speaker 3: If you'd been there and been like, what's up? That
- 12:11Speaker 3: was a no bones day.
- 12:11Speaker 5: I lied to people all day today at work. I
- 12:13Speaker 5: need to just cry and eat my fast food in bed.
- 12:16Speaker 5: I think that as a society, we.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not mocking impotency. In a lot of ways.
- 12:24Speaker 3: You can help if you can.
- 12:26Speaker 4: It's just funny. Yeah, I mean, the thing is, it's like, Yeah, and, like,
- 12:29Speaker 4: a lot of guys have never dealt with their shit, and, like,
- 12:31Speaker 4: and it comes out in weird ways. And one of
- 12:33Speaker 4: them is, like, you know.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Well, and some guys will mock, like, it's a sign
- 12:36Speaker 2: that you're not a man, or that you must be gay.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Which is bullshit.
- 12:39Speaker 3: You know, it's all, it's, that's horse shit, yeah.
- 12:41Speaker 4: Like, that's why I have almost a four-minute joke about
- 12:45Speaker 4: erectile dysfunction. It's basically a four-minute dick joke about, about
- 12:49Speaker 4: male mental health. You know what I mean? Like, get your,
- 12:53Speaker 4: you know what I mean? If you don't take care
- 12:54Speaker 4: of yourself, like, there's results. You know what I mean?
- 12:57Speaker 4: And it's, like, you know, so.
- 12:58Speaker 3: I love a four-minute dick. That's about the attention span
- 13:02Speaker 3: I have.
- 13:02Speaker 5: That is four times. Four times what Miss Elliot didn't want.
- 13:11Speaker 3: Anyway, what do you think the episode is going to
- 13:13Speaker 3: be about, kids?
- 13:14Speaker 4: I would like for it to be about impotence. You
- 13:16Speaker 4: know what I mean? I think that that would be.
- 13:18Speaker 5: Okay.
- 13:20Speaker 3: It's a very special episode.
- 13:22Speaker 5: I've seen the episodes. Again, I literally can't weigh in.
- 13:27Speaker 3: How about you, Kristen?
- 13:28Speaker 1: I knew you were coming to me next.
- 13:30Speaker 3: I didn't know I had to call on you.
- 13:31Speaker 5: It can't be me.
- 13:33Speaker 3: You can jump in, Kristen. It's okay. I give you permission.
- 13:36Speaker 3: You're one of the hosts.
- 13:38Speaker 4: I am?
- 13:38Speaker 5: We're all hosts now, apparently.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Anywho, I think this episode's about this guy named Ernest,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and he's impotent.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Okay. You both think it's about impotency.
- 13:54Speaker 1: Yes.
- 13:54Speaker 5: What I both really hoped was what I hoped either
- 13:58Speaker 5: or both of you comedic geniuses that are important people
- 14:02Speaker 5: in my life would come up with was that someone
- 14:04Speaker 5: would say that it was about Ernest, as in like scared,
- 14:09Speaker 5: stupid Ernest, that it was about him being impotent. That
- 14:12Speaker 5: was what I really had hoped for.
- 14:15Speaker 3: Jim Varney guest stars.
- 14:16Speaker 5: Yeah, Jim Varney.
- 14:17Speaker 3: He did the John L.
- 14:18Speaker 1: Sullivan Chevy commercials up here for years back in the day.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Is that a local Chevy dealer?
- 14:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:25Speaker 5: Oh, wow.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Whose boyfriend's, like, which lady's boyfriend do you think it'll
- 14:32Speaker 2: be dealing with this?
- 14:34Speaker 5: Blanche.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Because she's going to be the one who's going to
- 14:36Speaker 1: be the most upset about it.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Who do you think, Brad Ryan?
- 14:42Speaker 4: I think Blanche is, the juxtaposition is pretty good. Like,
- 14:45Speaker 4: as a writer, I would go with Blanche. Like, yeah, because, like, Hey,
- 14:51Speaker 4: she's really the only one who, like, fucks on the show.
- 14:53Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like, regularly. You know what
- 14:56Speaker 4: I mean? And, like. That's fair. And then it's going
- 15:00Speaker 4: to be, like. And then Sophia's going to be, like.
- 15:03Speaker 1: You slutty trash.
- 15:05Speaker 4: She's going to be, like. She's going to be, like.
- 15:06Speaker 4: I wouldn't get it up for.
- 15:07Speaker 5: You, either.
- 15:08Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Like.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Not with your breath.
- 15:11Speaker 4: You know what I mean? And then, like, Rose is, like.
- 15:13Speaker 5: Oh, well.
- 15:14Speaker 4: What's Rose's dead husband's name? Charlie.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Charlie.
- 15:18Speaker 4: None of them are that old to be having a
- 15:21Speaker 4: dead husband.
- 15:22Speaker 3: Well, George was killed by a drunk driver.
- 15:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Charlie had a heart attack. Well, fucking Rose.
- 15:31Speaker 3: Dorothy's husband's alive and annoying. And Sal is old.
- 15:34Speaker 1: Ex-husband.
- 15:35Speaker 5: Sal died nine years ago, I think. Nine, ten years
- 15:39Speaker 5: ago at this point.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Well, that leads us to who's the villain that Aaron
- 15:44Speaker 2: will have to prove.
- 15:46Speaker 4: I'm going to say the villain is going to be Blanche.
- 15:51Speaker 4: What do y'all think?
- 15:53Speaker 1: Well, I think she will be the villain, so we
- 15:55Speaker 1: want to make it hard for Aaron.
- 15:57Speaker 4: You do want to.
- 15:58Speaker 3: Make Aaron's job hard. Who do you think will be
- 16:03Speaker 3: the hardest one for her?
- 16:05Speaker 4: Rose. Because Rose is going to be understanding. Oh, Charlie
- 16:08Speaker 4: used to not be able to get it up at all.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Not until I had to use my thumb.
- 16:15Speaker 5: We can do back-to-back roses. Charlie is the person who
- 16:18Speaker 5: taught her what it was when your eyes rolled back
- 16:21Speaker 5: in your head.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Yeah, but I'm just saying that there's probably a time
- 16:24Speaker 4: when Charlie couldn't drop the hammer. You know what I mean?
- 16:29Speaker 5: So we're going Rose again?
- 16:30Speaker 1: Yes.
- 16:31Speaker 3: Couldn't drop the hammer.
- 16:36Speaker 5: I don't know this man.
- 16:37Speaker 3: I like you, Ryan. You're fun.
- 16:39Speaker 6: Is he?
- 16:40Speaker 3: He is.
- 16:42Speaker 4: Did you think that I would get on here and
- 16:45Speaker 4: not be a thing.
- 16:47Speaker 5: No, I don't know what I expected.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Yeah, did you think he was going to be polite?
- 16:50Speaker 6: Yes, ma'am.
- 16:51Speaker 1: He has to share the spotlight.
- 16:54Speaker 3: He's got to be himself. That's all I ask.
- 16:57Speaker 5: Look, it's fine. It's fine.
- 17:00Speaker 1: She says that word a lot.
- 17:01Speaker 4: Yeah, fine.
- 17:04Speaker 5: Honestly, my next tattoo is going to be some version
- 17:07Speaker 5: of it's fine. I'm fine. Okay, well, on that happy note,
- 17:12Speaker 5: You should listen to these commercials because they're fucking amazing commercials.

- 18:23Speaker 3: Ugliest sweater I've ever seen? Calls me sweater!
- 18:27Speaker 4: All right, let's get some trivia. What do you think?
- 18:31Speaker 5: Do you want to do the game? Is that what
- 18:34Speaker 5: you're talking about?
- 18:34Speaker 3: Yeah, I was talking about the game. Yeah, not the trivia.
- 18:37Speaker 3: You want the quiz.
- 18:38Speaker 4: Quiz. Yeah, the quiz.
- 18:40Speaker 5: He's really good looking. In person.
- 18:43Speaker 3: Okay, anyway.
- 18:47Speaker 1: Well, quiz and trivia can be used for the same thing.
- 18:51Speaker 5: Don't team Ryan. Okay, don't. Don't do that.
- 18:56Speaker 3: Skater team Ryan.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:00Speaker 5: Oh my god. You're my skater boy.
- 19:04Speaker 4: Gross.
- 19:04Speaker 3: See you later, boy.
- 19:08Speaker 5: Let's just play this fucking game. Alright, here we go.
- 19:12Speaker 5: What card game are Blanche, Dorothy, and Sophia playing? Kristen
- 19:20Speaker 5: was not there either. Let's go, Gina. By the way,
- 19:23Speaker 5: I'm shaming Ernie Soft Serve, aka this guy, and Kristen
- 19:31Speaker 5: for panic buzzing. So, Excuse me, three seconds later when
- 19:36Speaker 5: I finished.
- 19:40Speaker 3: They were playing hearts.
- 19:42Speaker 4: Yes.
- 19:43Speaker 3: I had to think about it.
- 19:45Speaker 5: All right. I'll try to read this faster so that
- 19:49Speaker 5: you guys don't.
- 19:50Speaker 3: Have to panic. She's the master of the pregnant pause.
- 19:52Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Yes, yes. I'm pretty sure that you're around me enough
- 19:56Speaker 5: to know that. Oh, I got a look. Why does
- 20:01Speaker 5: Sophia say she needs gin? Okay, Kristen.
- 20:08Speaker 1: Mildred had a heart attack.
- 20:10Speaker 5: Get the fuck out of here.
- 20:12Speaker 1: That's all I have written next to Jen.
- 20:13Speaker 5: Absolutely not.
- 20:14Speaker 2: No.
- 20:14Speaker 5: Get the fuck out of here. You're not even on
- 20:17Speaker 5: the same part of the scene. All right. Excuse me.
- 20:22Speaker 3: She needed it to get through a Saturday night with
- 20:24Speaker 3: those two.
- 20:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 20:26Speaker 3: It should be Dorothy and Blanche.
- 20:27Speaker 5: She quite literally said if she was going to spend
- 20:30Speaker 5: Saturday night with them, she was going to need a buzz.
- 20:33Speaker 4: Okay.
- 20:35Speaker 5: Excuse me.
- 20:37Speaker 3: I got a point.
- 20:38Speaker 5: Yeah, give excuse me.
- 20:40Speaker 4: A point.
- 20:41Speaker 5: All right.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Playing for you, Abby.
- 20:43Speaker 5: Aw. All right. Maybe Kristen can get this one right.
- 20:50Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 20:51Speaker 5: Why did Mildred cancel on Sophia? Oh, shit.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Shit.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Fuck.
- 21:02Speaker 4: Shit, fuck. Because she had a heart attack.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Oh, now he comes in nice and clear.
- 21:07Speaker 5: No. No.
- 21:08Speaker 3: Did you know that?
- 21:09Speaker 4: She had a heart attack, but it wasn't a major one.
- 21:17Speaker 5: Right. Thank you for mansplaining the plot to us.
- 21:22Speaker 4: Amazing.
- 21:23Speaker 3: If you could just breathe into the mic now. This
- 21:24Speaker 3: is a heart attack.
- 21:35Speaker 1: Jason Bracey.
- 21:37Speaker 3: I should encourage him to be up on the mic.
- 21:38Speaker 3: Thank you.
- 21:39Speaker 4: Reset all buzzers, please.
- 21:43Speaker 3: We don't tell her to do that.
- 21:44Speaker 1: We don't remind Erin to reset.
- 21:46Speaker 5: But you didn't know that.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Unless she's already started the next question.
- 21:52Speaker 3: Even then, I don't say shit. She's put the fear
- 21:56Speaker 3: of God into me.
- 21:56Speaker 5: There are some rules here. It may not have been explained.
- 22:00Speaker 4: I'm an anarchist.
- 22:02Speaker 5: This is me!
- 22:04Speaker 3: My mother hasn't done it yet.
- 22:07Speaker 5: Yeah, Jesus Christ. Alright. What wild scenario does Blanche compare... Sorry.
- 22:15Speaker 5: What wild scenario does Blanche compare the likelihood of Rose
- 22:19Speaker 5: having a date when she does not?
- 22:23Speaker 4: Kristen.
- 22:24Speaker 1: Getting struck by lightning in a house from Ed McMahon.
- 22:28Speaker 2: You sounded like you were falling asleep there. Or you
- 22:34Speaker 2: just went to the dentist or something?
- 22:37Speaker 1: It is after 9 o'clock. I am turning into a gremlin.
- 22:41Speaker 3: She's turning into a pumpkin, ladies and gentlemen.
- 22:43Speaker 5: Can we kill her for a food source? No, because
- 22:46Speaker 5: she's already a gremlin.
- 22:47Speaker 4: She wouldn't do as good. So she told you my
- 22:49Speaker 4: idea for mogwai as a food source?
- 22:52Speaker 5: No.
- 22:52Speaker 3: I don't think so.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Well, kids, you could multiply them so you'd have unlimited food, right?
- 22:57Speaker 4: Yeah, you just don't have any. There's just like, they
- 22:59Speaker 4: are like the perfect foods.
- 23:00Speaker 3: You multiply them, huh?
- 23:02Speaker 4: With water. With water.
- 23:03Speaker 3: With water, not the feeding.
- 23:04Speaker 4: Okay.
- 23:05Speaker 1: Gremlins is feeding after midnight.
- 23:07Speaker 3: So you want the water.
- 23:08Speaker 4: Okay.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 23:09Speaker 4: But if you like industrially farm them, you would never
- 23:12Speaker 4: have to worry about it. You know what I mean?
- 23:13Speaker 4: Because they're born almost full size.
- 23:15Speaker 1: But how ethical would that be?
- 23:18Speaker 4: Well, so here's the thing is everybody says that, but
- 23:20Speaker 4: you got to remember like a gizmo was sort of,
- 23:24Speaker 4: Was sort of the outlier. Because the rest of them
- 23:27Speaker 4: were dicks. You know what I mean? Like, every single other...
- 23:32Speaker 4: With the exception of Gizmo... I think Gizmo's the... With
- 23:37Speaker 4: the exception of Gizmo's... I don't know. Girlfriend in the
- 23:42Speaker 4: second one. The rest of them are all bad. So,
- 23:47Speaker 4: I think we're actually kind of doing the world a favor. So,
- 23:49Speaker 4: you just raise them and you kill them before midnight.
- 23:52Speaker 4: So they never become gremlins. Right? And then you can
- 23:55Speaker 4: skin them, roast them. You got a great meat source
- 23:58Speaker 4: that you never have to feed. Just drops of water.
- 24:02Speaker 3: How meaty are those?
- 24:06Speaker 1: You wouldn't have to kill them before midnight. You just
- 24:08Speaker 1: don't have to feed them after.
- 24:10Speaker 4: Mostly like head meat.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Oh, I bet you'd get like really like tender. Like
- 24:20Speaker 5: if you harvested them right away, it'd be like ethically
- 24:26Speaker 5: acceptable veal. Yeah.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Or lamb.
- 24:29Speaker 4: And you could dry their ears for like dog treats
- 24:31Speaker 4: and shit. You know what I mean?
- 24:33Speaker 1: Like pig ears.
- 24:34Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 24:35Speaker 4: My favorite is if you go to the grocery store
- 24:37Speaker 4: and there's a grocery store in Oregon called Winco. It's
- 24:42Speaker 4: like a big store.
- 24:43Speaker 5: They have Winco. You don't have to mansplain Wincum.
- 24:45Speaker 3: I don't have Wincum.
- 24:46Speaker 1: My husband worked there for like 14 years.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Yeah, but they have bulk pig ears and on it
- 24:53Speaker 4: it says, please no sampling. That's my favorite thing.
- 24:57Speaker 5: In the world.
- 24:59Speaker 3: I just want to see how they are.
- 25:01Speaker 4: I just want to just chew on a pig ear.
- 25:03Speaker 3: All right, let's do it. All right. Mogwise is a
- 25:07Speaker 3: food source.
- 25:07Speaker 5: Catch it.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Aaron, you can continue now.
- 25:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:11Speaker 3: God, Aaron, hurry up.
- 25:13Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Did you reset the buzzers?
- 25:14Speaker 3: Kristen's tired.
- 25:15Speaker 4: Oh, shit. He's stumbling down.
- 25:21Speaker 5: What would be the appropriate animal sign for my husband
- 25:25Speaker 5: knows get out of town? Kristen.
- 25:29Speaker 1: A dead rabbit.
- 25:31Speaker 5: Yep, sure is.
- 25:32Speaker 3: I thought of it way later.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Knows what?
- 25:35Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't go for that joke.
- 25:36Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 25:38Speaker 5: The answer to that, of course, is the words to
- 25:41Speaker 5: South Pacific, I think.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Gotta wash that man right out of my hair.
- 25:47Speaker 5: Alright, great. Next question. What is Ernie's job?
- 25:51Speaker 6: Oh, yeah. Oh, wow.
- 25:54Speaker 5: That's sad when Ernie didn't even get it buzzed in first.
- 25:58Speaker 5: But Kristen did.
- 25:59Speaker 1: He's a corporate attorney.
- 26:01Speaker 5: Would you like to talk about how maybe your buzzer's
- 26:03Speaker 5: not working right?
- 26:05Speaker 4: No, she's just quicker than me.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Buzzer dysfunction.
- 26:09Speaker 5: Sorry, we've never had a man on the show not
- 26:11Speaker 5: complain about The buzzer.
- 26:13Speaker 4: Yeah, literally. No, I mean, I was happy. I'm rooting
- 26:17Speaker 4: for Justin to win.
- 26:20Speaker 3: He likes women.
- 26:22Speaker 4: I'm pro. I'm woke. You know what I mean? I'm
- 26:24Speaker 4: pro-women winning.
- 26:26Speaker 3: I'm pro-woke. I'm broke.
- 26:28Speaker 4: She's a good person. So she wins. Bro-woke. You know,
- 26:34Speaker 4: it's awesome. Good answer, by the way. You got that
- 26:38Speaker 4: nice and fair and square. I mean, I hit my
- 26:41Speaker 4: buzzer and it should have worked, Kristen, but you got it.
- 26:44Speaker 4: And good job.
- 26:46Speaker 3: I think he just mansplained winning to you.
- 26:50Speaker 5: Wow.
- 26:52Speaker 4: So listen, this is what it feels like to win.
- 26:54Speaker 5: Oh, my God. So the broom closet has enough room
- 26:59Speaker 5: for two people. And what oddly specific item?
- 27:02Speaker 2: Kristen.
- 27:03Speaker 4: Kristen.
- 27:04Speaker 1: A medium-sized cold-cut platter.
- 27:06Speaker 5: Yep, that is the answer.
- 27:09Speaker 3: She gets a little hungry.
- 27:10Speaker 1: Okay, snacks are good.
- 27:14Speaker 5: Excuse me, did somebody say snack?
- 27:16Speaker 3: Yep, they're in the closet. Go find them.
- 27:18Speaker 5: Okay, cold cut. All right, next question. Why is Rose depressed?
- 27:25Speaker 4: Excuse me?
- 27:27Speaker 2: Because Ernie hasn't tried any sexy time with her.
- 27:33Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. No sex for a month slash no sexual abuse.
- 27:39Speaker 3: You wouldn't get it.
- 27:40Speaker 5: Let me reset the buzzers before I get told to
- 27:45Speaker 5: do it.
- 27:45Speaker 4: Let's try to keep the game going, you know what
- 27:50Speaker 4: I mean? I'm just trying to keep the entertainment happening.
- 27:52Speaker 5: What two things did Rose never learn? Kristen.
- 27:59Speaker 1: How to ride a bike.
- 28:06Speaker 5: You know, you only said one thing. Were you aware
- 28:09Speaker 5: you stopped at one?
- 28:10Speaker 1: Well, no, because I know she knew how to fall
- 28:14Speaker 1: off of it. So that didn't count. I didn't write
- 28:17Speaker 1: down the other one.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Oh, my God. All right. Well, let's go to Esusme.
- 28:25Speaker 5: and see if she knows.
- 28:26Speaker 2: I don't remember that one either. See?
- 28:31Speaker 3: I fucking blanked out. I was like, riding a bike,
- 28:35Speaker 3: I know this click.
- 28:39Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 28:41Speaker 5: All right, well, it's going to be a point, Erin. Yay,
- 28:45Speaker 5: Erin got a point. Yeah. So the correct answer, by
- 28:48Speaker 5: the way, guys, was she never learned how to be
- 28:51Speaker 5: aggressive or ride a bike.
- 28:53Speaker 3: Oh, aggressive.
- 28:55Speaker 1: I was like, swimming?
- 28:57Speaker 3: No, that's not it.
- 28:59Speaker 4: You tried.
- 29:00Speaker 5: You tried.
- 29:00Speaker 4: That's fine.
- 29:01Speaker 5: You got it wrong and I went, oh shit, I
- 29:04Speaker 5: don't know what you said. I saw the look go
- 29:08Speaker 5: across your face of just like, what?
- 29:10Speaker 3: Don't call on me!
- 29:12Speaker 5: Alright, cool. Next question. What can Sophia hear when she
- 29:18Speaker 5: turns her hearing aid up to 10?
- 29:20Speaker 4: 10.
- 29:21Speaker 5: Okay, Kristen.
- 29:22Speaker 1: A canary breaking wind in Lauderdale.
- 29:25Speaker 4: Yep.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Oh, canary. I was going to say nightingale.
- 29:29Speaker 4: A bird.
- 29:30Speaker 5: Gina, did you watch this show?
- 29:32Speaker 3: I did. It's after midnight. I'm having a Timmy moment.
- 29:36Speaker 3: I'm a little tired.
- 29:39Speaker 5: Okay what cured stan of his impotence.
- 29:46Speaker 4: Oh a blonde stewardess yeah yeah uh.
- 29:50Speaker 5: Just for the just for the crafted line on that
- 29:54Speaker 5: one It was a blonde stewardess with a butt that
- 29:58Speaker 5: would have made Gandhi throw in the towel was the
- 30:01Speaker 5: full line. That's one hell of an ass.
- 30:04Speaker 3: And a medium cold cut tray.
- 30:06Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:07Speaker 3: All right.
- 30:09Speaker 5: I got some shit for not doing this in the
- 30:11Speaker 5: last one. So sometimes on the show, Ryan, and you
- 30:14Speaker 5: don't know this, but now you do. We do a
- 30:17Speaker 5: thing called last line. So I'm just going to say,
- 30:20Speaker 5: what is it?
- 30:21Speaker 4: Okay.
- 30:23Speaker 5: Kristen, you were first.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I'll get the Etch-A-Sketch. At my age, I need a
- 30:27Speaker 1: visual aid. Sophia.
- 30:30Speaker 5: Yep.
- 30:32Speaker 4: I couldn't remember what it was. I knew it was
- 30:33Speaker 4: about the Etch-A-Sketch, but it was a really soft line.
- 30:36Speaker 4: It really just wasn't that fun.
- 30:38Speaker 5: Alright. I forgot to ask you for a point tally
- 30:41Speaker 5: somewhere along there, but we're done. So what is the score?
- 30:45Speaker 3: Erin got one point.
- 30:47Speaker 1: Ryan got two.
- 30:48Speaker 5: Fuck yes. Gina got three.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Alright.
- 30:52Speaker 1: Kristen got six.
- 30:54Speaker 5: Yeah, you guys didn't try.
- 30:56Speaker 4: I did try.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Are you kidding?
- 30:59Speaker 4: I'm proud of you both.
- 31:01Speaker 5: I'm proud of you.
- 31:02Speaker 3: I'm glad we blanked on the same question.
- 31:04Speaker 5: You're such a handsome, smart boy. I just wasn't looking
- 31:09Speaker 5: at her.
- 31:10Speaker 1: I'm like, I got one of them. Maybe she'll give me.
- 31:13Speaker 5: Half a point.
- 31:16Speaker 4: Okay.
- 31:17Speaker 5: Gina, do you got trivia for us?
- 31:22Speaker 3: It depends if Ryan has trivia for it.
- 31:25Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 31:25Speaker 4: Did Ryan? I was going for trivia, but then I
- 31:29Speaker 4: fucked it up.
- 31:30Speaker 2: Oh, cool.
- 31:31Speaker 3: I can fill in the blanks.
- 31:33Speaker 4: Yeah, I forget what... He's been in something else, and
- 31:37Speaker 4: then I forgot what else.
- 31:38Speaker 3: Ernie was played by Richard Hurt. He was also in.
- 31:42Speaker 2: I wrote down Betty White's Off the Rockers, if you
- 31:44Speaker 2: remember that show.
- 31:45Speaker 3: It was kind of like a camera thing. I forgot
- 31:48Speaker 3: about that show. I wanted to draw attention.
- 31:51Speaker 2: This was directed by someone other than Terry Hughes after
- 31:55Speaker 2: he's been doing it since the end of season two.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 31:59Speaker 3: He will come back, but maybe he went on vacation.
- 32:04Speaker 5: Maybe he was like, I need a break from these ladies.
- 32:07Speaker 2: The title's a play on the importance of being earnest,
- 32:09Speaker 2: which is by Oscar Wilde. Rose said she was like
- 32:12Speaker 2: 10 and they still had silent movies.
- 32:15Speaker 3: That means St.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Olaf was at least 10 years behind on talkies, so
- 32:19Speaker 2: that totally tracks if you know St.
- 32:21Speaker 3: Olaf.
- 32:21Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 32:22Speaker 3: Dorothy references the People's.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Court of Nazi Germany, 1934, by Hitler to prosecute people
- 32:29Speaker 2: with different political ideas. Rose mentions Peter Allen. He was
- 32:34Speaker 2: an Australian musician who had flamboyant costumes.
- 32:37Speaker 3: And did cabaret. I think he was married to Liza Minnelli?
- 32:41Speaker 5: He was.
- 32:42Speaker 4: And.
- 32:44Speaker 5: Hugh Jackman played him in the Broadway musical Boy from Oz,
- 32:47Speaker 5: which I saw multiple times.
- 32:50Speaker 3: That is all I had.
- 32:51Speaker 4: So out of curiosity, I think she's actually referencing the
- 32:57Speaker 4: television show that people support, right?
- 33:01Speaker 5: Probably.
- 33:02Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, that's a great, and she is not
- 33:08Speaker 4: from the Axis power country, but I think she's doing
- 33:13Speaker 4: this people support.
- 33:16Speaker 2: I probably wrote down something somebody wrote on IMDb and.
- 33:20Speaker 3: Forgot to listen if that's what it was in the episodes.
- 33:22Speaker 3: Because sometimes they are wrong. So that's fine.
- 33:27Speaker 4: I keep moving the thing and then Aaron keeps moving
- 33:30Speaker 4: it back. I'm just trying to be clear in my
- 33:33Speaker 4: questioning so people can hear me.
- 33:35Speaker 3: I appreciate that.
- 33:37Speaker 4: Yeah, see? Your friends appreciate me.
- 33:40Speaker 5: I appreciate you, but if you move it where my
- 33:43Speaker 5: mouth can't get to where the noise is captured, then
- 33:47Speaker 5: no one can hear me.
- 33:50Speaker 2: I'm really hoping there's a lot of noise when you
- 33:53Speaker 2: move it back and forth.
- 33:54Speaker 3: That'll be fun for me.
- 33:55Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I really hope, too.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Editing. All right, do our villain.
- 34:00Speaker 5: All right. First of all, as is always, Rose the Prude, right?
- 34:05Speaker 7: So.
- 34:07Speaker 5: Unhealthy conversational sex is not a thing you can handle.
- 34:13Speaker 5: Oh my god!
- 34:17Speaker 1: What?
- 34:18Speaker 3: You know sex!
- 34:21Speaker 5: How is she the prude?
- 34:22Speaker 1: She's the one trying to get laid in this episode.
- 34:26Speaker 5: But she's repressed. She's so sexually repressed that everything is like, oh, what?
- 34:33Speaker 2: You know sex.
- 34:35Speaker 5: Yeah. She asks like a fucking child. Sorry, I do
- 34:40Speaker 5: have to move this again. She acts like a fucking
- 34:43Speaker 5: child when they're like, go ask her. I need to
- 34:46Speaker 5: go away with you. She's like, oh, I can't ask
- 34:49Speaker 5: someone out. Oh, I've never.
- 34:51Speaker 4: What?
- 34:52Speaker 5: Just fucking. That's not the lady's place.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 34:56Speaker 4: Fuck off.
- 34:57Speaker 3: She's very like 1950s Americana.
- 34:58Speaker 4: Yeah. And then.
- 35:02Speaker 5: I'm sorry, who can't ride a bike? The villains can't.
- 35:06Speaker 5: That's bullshit. Riding a bike is like a thing you
- 35:10Speaker 5: just learn how to do to be like not a dickhead. Next.
- 35:15Speaker 4: What?
- 35:18Speaker 3: You have to get taught.
- 35:20Speaker 5: Yeah, but like it's not.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Some kids don't have anybody to teach them how to
- 35:24Speaker 1: ride a bike.
- 35:24Speaker 3: Some kids don't have a bike.
- 35:26Speaker 4: And some kids are like, I mean, can we all
- 35:28Speaker 4: kind of agree that Rose is sort of like almost
- 35:31Speaker 4: like Probably autistic or borderline.
- 35:34Speaker 3: She's definitely on the spectrum.
- 35:35Speaker 4: You know what I mean? There's something kind of a
- 35:38Speaker 4: matter with her. You know what I mean? It's not
- 35:41Speaker 4: just small-town naivety. She has some actual learning disabilities. She's
- 35:47Speaker 4: not a functioning person. So it doesn't surprise me that...
- 35:51Speaker 4: If your parents teach you.
- 35:52Speaker 3: How to ride a bike, you're a dickhead.
- 35:57Speaker 5: If you've made it to the advanced age that these
- 35:59Speaker 5: women are, and you've never even... tried to learn how
- 36:02Speaker 5: to ride a bike. I just, that's villainous. I just,
- 36:05Speaker 5: I don't trust someone that hasn't tried to learn to
- 36:07Speaker 5: ride a bike, especially with the wholesome like farm type upbringing.
- 36:11Speaker 5: You know, there was a bike in that town. She
- 36:13Speaker 5: just wasn't smart enough to use it.
- 36:15Speaker 4: This is a weird time to tell you that I
- 36:17Speaker 4: can't ride a bike.
- 36:18Speaker 5: I can't ride a bike anymore. I'm shaped.
- 36:21Speaker 3: You don't forget how. No, I'm not comfortable.
- 36:26Speaker 4: I never learned how to ride a bike.
- 36:28Speaker 3: Is that real? Are you being silly?
- 36:31Speaker 4: I'm making Herod feel bad about it.
- 36:34Speaker 5: I don't feel at all bad.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Because apparently you're a dickhead then.
- 36:37Speaker 5: Nothing about what I like about you involves that you
- 36:40Speaker 5: can ride a bike.
- 36:42Speaker 4: But what happens if I get rid of a villain?
- 36:44Speaker 4: You know what I mean? A villainous non-bike rider.
- 36:48Speaker 5: Have you met me?
- 36:50Speaker 3: She likes villains.
- 36:51Speaker 5: I like bad. Like, I'm bad.
- 36:57Speaker 4: I wish they would have gotten into Ernie's dick problem.
- 37:00Speaker 5: Could I get into the rest of the villain? Or
- 37:02Speaker 5: did you have more of a.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Yeah, then we'll talk about his dick, okay?
- 37:05Speaker 4: Okay.
- 37:06Speaker 5: Holy fuck shit.
- 37:06Speaker 4: I got a lot to say about his dick.
- 37:07Speaker 3: All right.
- 37:08Speaker 5: All right. So then I want to say, like, I
- 37:12Speaker 5: like to throw a little shade. Everyone smells fashion-wise. And
- 37:15Speaker 5: so I just want to say that nightgown she comes
- 37:18Speaker 5: in after she's found out he's impotent is fucking hideous.
- 37:24Speaker 5: That looks like what Sophia should wear. If she went
- 37:27Speaker 5: on a honeymoon again, like it's so weird. Old lady.
- 37:30Speaker 5: I fucking hated it. That was enough for me to
- 37:33Speaker 5: villainize her for this. But what I also want to
- 37:36Speaker 5: then say, and here's what, you know, I'm going to
- 37:38Speaker 5: be accused of stretching on this. I think a bit,
- 37:42Speaker 5: but first of all, she throws champagne over her shoulder.
- 37:48Speaker 5: That's alcohol abuse. Why are you wasting a fancy bottle of,
- 37:53Speaker 5: of Moe, first of all. Second of all, she basically
- 38:00Speaker 5: chased Ernie away. She was so patient, so smothering that
- 38:04Speaker 5: he was like, I gotta go back to my bitch-ass
- 38:06Speaker 5: ex-wife because you're literally smothering me with your love right now.
- 38:12Speaker 5: And she had to leave. Or he had to leave
- 38:15Speaker 5: because of her.
- 38:15Speaker 4: It's a terrible, terrible thing to say. Are you done?
- 38:32Speaker 3: He can't wait to get up on that dick.
- 38:34Speaker 4: Yeah. Oh, OK.
- 38:35Speaker 5: Well, I also I said more Madras out of Sophia.
- 38:38Speaker 5: That was just a side note I wrote down because
- 38:41Speaker 5: she's always in that like complex Madras like plaid.
- 38:46Speaker 3: Oh, Madras. You said Madras. I'm like, what?
- 38:50Speaker 5: Madras. It's M-A-D-R-A-S.
- 38:53Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't understand.
- 38:56Speaker 5: Talk about your dick stuff.
- 38:59Speaker 4: So, really, the two things that Rose didn't know how
- 39:03Speaker 4: to do was ride a bike or prostate orgasm. You
- 39:08Speaker 4: know what I mean? Like, I think that that would
- 39:11Speaker 4: have been a successful sort of thing. That's what I said. Pegging.
- 39:16Speaker 4: I just... Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, if
- 39:17Speaker 4: she had just pegged him, like, this all would have, like... Gosh,
- 39:20Speaker 4: she didn't even have to, like, buy anything. Just use
- 39:22Speaker 4: a thumb. You know? But she... But can we talk about, like,
- 39:28Speaker 4: he was just like, I'm impotent. like that's like uh
- 39:31Speaker 4: like and i kind of didn't like that it was
- 39:34Speaker 4: just like all i had to do was just think
- 39:36Speaker 4: about sex and then.
- 39:37Speaker 1: Like like that cured it magically just.
- 39:40Speaker 4: Cured it like and the worst part about it is
- 39:43Speaker 4: like He was, like, at the restaurant. It was, like,
- 39:46Speaker 4: time to go. And, like, that's just not really how
- 39:48Speaker 4: that works. You know what I mean? Like, he would
- 39:49Speaker 4: have been probably able to do it right then. But
- 39:51Speaker 4: then he would have, like, got in the car, and
- 39:53Speaker 4: he would have been thinking about other shit and stuff
- 39:55Speaker 4: like that. And then impotence would have come back. And
- 39:58Speaker 4: now he's, like, he's walking around like Johnny Hard Dick.
- 40:00Speaker 4: You know what I mean? And, like... Yeah. You know
- 40:04Speaker 4: what I mean?
- 40:05Speaker 3: It would have made more sense if he's, like, let's
- 40:07Speaker 3: go find a bathroom.
- 40:08Speaker 4: Right, exactly. Or, like, you know what I mean? Like, I...
- 40:12Speaker 4: I'm going to throw it down right here. You know
- 40:13Speaker 4: what I mean?
- 40:14Speaker 2: It's like, I would think if a man gets in
- 40:16Speaker 2: the zone, he doesn't want to risk losing it again.
- 40:19Speaker 3: Use it or lose it.
- 40:20Speaker 4: Exactly. Like, you know what I mean? Like you gotta like,
- 40:23Speaker 4: if you struggle with it and it like, and it
- 40:24Speaker 4: comes up, you gotta fucking hop on it. You know
- 40:27Speaker 4: what I mean? You don't get to just like, if
- 40:29Speaker 4: like change course of action.
- 40:32Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Waste not, want not.
- 40:33Speaker 4: Exactly. And they didn't talk anything about prostate. They didn't
- 40:36Speaker 4: talk about anything about like, why he has this like
- 40:40Speaker 4: uh like this problem you know what i mean he's
- 40:42Speaker 4: just impotent like what does that even mean like he
- 40:45Speaker 4: wasn't like you know like i think he.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Said it was mental because he got broken up with
- 40:49Speaker 2: by his wife didn't he well she.
- 40:51Speaker 1: Met him at the counseling center that she works at
- 40:53Speaker 1: so he's probably there for counseling.
- 40:56Speaker 4: I would have liked a more like thing where like
- 40:57Speaker 4: you know like he took like you know he took
- 41:00Speaker 4: a he took a mortar and nam you know what
- 41:03Speaker 4: i mean and like in the day Well, no, he
- 41:06Speaker 4: just saw some fucked up shit. You know what I mean?
- 41:09Speaker 4: And the whole story should have been about him coming
- 41:12Speaker 4: to terms with his friend that he lost in Vietnam.
- 41:16Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
- 41:17Speaker 5: Sorry, but that show exists. It was called M.A.S.H. It
- 41:21Speaker 5: was already a Korean one.
- 41:25Speaker 4: Yeah, I hate to mansplain M.A.S.H.
- 41:27Speaker 5: I'm just saying, it was already a military-based show for feelings.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Yeah but they could they could sprinkle a little mash
- 41:35Speaker 4: they had a mash actor in the last.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Episode mash his dick about ladies but i'm.
- 41:41Speaker 4: Just saying though he but it was about a fucking
- 41:43Speaker 4: soft dick i mean there's not more more dude show.
- 41:47Speaker 5: Them more about like how women feel about it i
- 41:51Speaker 5: shouldn't have my right in the face i shouldn't have
- 41:53Speaker 5: to sit like this to do a podcast.
- 41:56Speaker 4: I agree saying Yeah, I mean, it's almost like.
- 41:59Speaker 3: You invited this problem into your home and made.
- 42:01Speaker 4: Love to it. Yeah, she knew I was coming. I mean,
- 42:03Speaker 4: I even have a mic. I could have brought it.
- 42:04Speaker 5: I don't think I'd use those words exactly.
- 42:07Speaker 1: Oh, Gina, you missed it. Last night we were watching
- 42:09Speaker 1: Drop Dead Gorgeous. I told Aaron, I'm like, I'm so excited.
- 42:12Speaker 1: I said, I've never met somebody who's been inside you before.
- 42:18Speaker 3: What was it like, Ryan?
- 42:19Speaker 4: I would never talk about that in public.
- 42:26Speaker 5: I am terrified of how he would describe that based
- 42:29Speaker 5: on reading your book. Magical. Your depiction of textures and moisture.
- 42:41Speaker 5: I feel like I don't want to hear that.
- 42:43Speaker 4: This has been fun. Ernie's limp dick. What a fun
- 42:50Speaker 4: character to get to be. Cast on the role as
- 42:53Speaker 4: a dude with a soft dick.
- 42:54Speaker 5: Yeah, but But I think that would encourage middle-aged Hollywood
- 43:00Speaker 5: women to be like, I'm going to fuck your dick better.
- 43:02Speaker 5: I feel like, if anything, that made that a challenge
- 43:06Speaker 5: of like, wait, well, I want to make sure that
- 43:08Speaker 5: everyone knows.
- 43:09Speaker 3: I fucked that guy.
- 43:10Speaker 5: Yeah. Because in my head, 1980s Hollywood was just like
- 43:15Speaker 5: a fuck party at all times.
- 43:18Speaker 4: I mean, who knows, you know? Now, is it true?
- 43:21Speaker 4: I know I asked some Golden Girls questions while I'm
- 43:23Speaker 4: here for maybe like newer listeners who haven't listened. So
- 43:25Speaker 4: did like Bea Arthur and she didn't get along with them, right?
- 43:29Speaker 4: Did they not get along?
- 43:31Speaker 1: They had different styles and approaches to things.
- 43:34Speaker 5: So things like Betty White was used to filling a
- 43:37Speaker 5: five hour like local access network show of content with
- 43:43Speaker 5: no script, like every day, just talking for five hours.
- 43:45Speaker 5: So she would ad lib and improv all the time.
- 43:48Speaker 5: And Bea, who was more of a stage actress, was
- 43:51Speaker 5: very serious and wanted to stick to the scripts and
- 43:54Speaker 5: was impeccable about polishing her delivery of a joke and stuff.
- 43:59Speaker 5: And so the chaotic nature of Betty. Betty sometimes would
- 44:05Speaker 5: go out and be the crowd warm-up person. She would
- 44:08Speaker 5: literally be that person out there with the mic before
- 44:10Speaker 5: the filming of the show. She loved talking to the people.
- 44:13Speaker 5: And so all of that, like breaking that fourth wall
- 44:16Speaker 5: and interacting with the audience and being silly, just kind
- 44:20Speaker 5: of pissed me off.
- 44:21Speaker 1: Kind of like Aaron in some ways, like in a
- 44:24Speaker 1: good way. I'm not jabbing at you, but like you
- 44:27Speaker 1: always say, you know, I'll always go for the joke.
- 44:30Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of a Betty White type style.
- 44:33Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true. I've started writing some stand up jokes
- 44:37Speaker 5: about my boyfriend's car is so old. No, my boyfriend's
- 44:41Speaker 5: truck is so old. It's not that bad. It's honestly fine.
- 44:44Speaker 5: It's a normal person's car. It is just an older
- 44:47Speaker 5: model truck, right?
- 44:49Speaker 4: I mean, it's 2014.
- 44:52Speaker 1: Oh, that's not that old.
- 44:54Speaker 3: I thought you were going.
- 44:56Speaker 5: To be like 1989. No, look, you've been in this truck.
- 45:01Speaker 5: You've never been in this truck, but you've been in
- 45:03Speaker 5: this truck. You dated someone that drove this truck in
- 45:07Speaker 5: the early 2000s.
- 45:09Speaker 1: Jeremy's car had to be jump-started when we started dating.
- 45:13Speaker 1: He wouldn't even let me ride in it because the
- 45:15Speaker 1: brakes didn't always work.
- 45:17Speaker 5: Oh, his brakes. I've ridden in the car. I'm alive.
- 45:21Speaker 5: It's just, it's like, but because I'm fond of you.
- 45:26Speaker 4: I mean, you can hate my things.
- 45:30Speaker 5: I don't hate your things. I hated that other comedian
- 45:34Speaker 5: at your show the other night.
- 45:36Speaker 4: Yeah, he sucked.
- 45:36Speaker 5: He hated white people a lot.
- 45:39Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I'm fine with comedians hating white people.
- 45:41Speaker 5: Yeah, but he hated us, like, for just, like, being
- 45:44Speaker 5: in the room with him. Like, we hadn't actually wronged
- 45:47Speaker 5: him in any way yet.
- 45:49Speaker 4: No, he.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Yet.
- 45:51Speaker 4: He, like.
- 45:52Speaker 5: Well, we didn't end up laughing.
- 45:53Speaker 4: I'm fine with that being a comic bit. Like, that's
- 45:55Speaker 4: all fine. Like, I'm even fine with, like, people hating
- 45:59Speaker 4: white people. Like, I get it. Like, I mean, I
- 46:01Speaker 4: probably hate white people, too. I mean, I hate white people.
- 46:03Speaker 5: We hate ourselves.
- 46:05Speaker 4: Right. Like, and... But he's just, like, not funny. You
- 46:07Speaker 4: just have to, like, write punchlines. Yeah, that's the thing.
- 46:10Speaker 4: Write punchlines. If anybody listening wants to be a stand-up comic,
- 46:14Speaker 4: you gotta, like, you gotta, like, finish a joke. You gotta, like,
- 46:18Speaker 4: you gotta, like, leave, like, you gotta fucking tell a joke.
- 46:22Speaker 4: You can't just, like, talk about, like, like.
- 46:24Speaker 5: Hey, white people are weird.
- 46:27Speaker 4: Right, you can't just be like, I was.
- 46:28Speaker 5: No, because that was more of a punchline than he.
- 46:30Speaker 4: Right, like, right. You just gotta, like, you know what
- 46:32Speaker 4: I mean?
- 46:33Speaker 8: Like, He was telling this joke about how he was
- 46:35Speaker 8: hanging out with Filipino people and they offered him some puto,
- 46:41Speaker 8: which he thought meant gay man.
- 46:44Speaker 4: Because he's Latino. But apparently it's a Filipino sweet rice dish,
- 46:53Speaker 4: like dessert. And he was like, I guess I do
- 46:56Speaker 4: like puto. But you could just tell a joke with
- 46:59Speaker 4: a punchline. It's like, My friend's grandmother offered me puto,
- 47:03Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, that means gay, man, and I
- 47:05Speaker 4: don't want that. And then my friend was like, oh, no,
- 47:08Speaker 4: it's a sweet dessert. And we were like, oh, cool,
- 47:11Speaker 4: then I do want some puto. And then she brought
- 47:12Speaker 4: me her gay son. You know what I mean? You've
- 47:15Speaker 4: got to make a joke. Tell a joke. That's the
- 47:18Speaker 4: end of the fucking story. You've got to tell a joke.
- 47:20Speaker 4: You've got to finish a joke. And if you can't
- 47:23Speaker 4: do that, this is my advice to every single person
- 47:25Speaker 4: who's listening. Write punchlines. Punchlines.
- 47:29Speaker 5: Right? Right.
- 47:31Speaker 4: How does everybody feel about punchlines?
- 47:35Speaker 3: I think they're kind of necessary.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:37Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
- 47:38Speaker 3: For closure.
- 47:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:40Speaker 1: I like to have, like, the complete.
- 47:44Speaker 3: Otherwise, you don't know when to start. You're like, do I.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 47:48Speaker 5: Like, are you done?
- 47:49Speaker 3: Are you done talking?
- 47:50Speaker 1: Kind of like a feedback of a conversation.
- 47:53Speaker 3: Otherwise, it's just more of a play, I guess.
- 47:55Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 47:56Speaker 4: Well, then you're just, like, talking about things. You're like,
- 47:58Speaker 4: me and my friends say funny things to each other.
- 48:00Speaker 2: Right.
- 48:00Speaker 5: Right.
- 48:01Speaker 4: Tell jokes. Erin, how are you feeling about punchlines now?
- 48:05Speaker 5: Well, I was pro-punchline prior to this TED Talk, but
- 48:08Speaker 5: now I'm not totally sure.
- 48:12Speaker 4: I like TED Talks because they're, like, you know, monetized, mansplaining.
- 48:18Speaker 5: Excuse me.
- 48:19Speaker 3: Yes, Abby.
- 48:20Speaker 5: Excuse me. Hi. Hello. Is Passover bedtime?
- 48:24Speaker 3: It is.
- 48:25Speaker 5: It is. There's no cheesecake for you.
- 48:28Speaker 4: Oh. That's right.
- 48:30Speaker 1: I can't have cheesecake right before bed.
- 48:32Speaker 5: Well, there was cheesecake, but it spoiled on account that
- 48:36Speaker 5: it's so past my bedtime.
- 48:38Speaker 3: Oh, man. How many ruined our cheesecake?
- 48:41Speaker 5: I'll just send you one.
- 48:42Speaker 3: All right.
- 48:44Speaker 5: Maybe. I don't know. Mom, do I dash them a cheesecake?
- 48:49Speaker 3: I don't know if Kristen said.
