0:59
SPEAKER_01: We birthed a book.

1:11
SPEAKER_01: You'll get past that.
1:13
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: We're going to share
1:15
SPEAKER_01: with you today.
1:17
SPEAKER_01: We're going to be giving away a free copy of the book to one lucky viewer,
1:21
SPEAKER_01: but also we're going to be talking about the process of the book
1:25
SPEAKER_01: and something interesting that we're doing with it today.
1:28
SPEAKER_01: But, yeah, this has been a long time coming.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: It is.
1:31
SPEAKER_01: I'm Scott.
1:32
SPEAKER_01: Yes, by the way, I'm Jason.
1:33
SPEAKER_02: I guess we made a book together.
1:35
SPEAKER_02: Just before we start, Jason and I have had a podcast for however many years now.
1:40
SPEAKER_02: Never once have we had a rundown.
1:42
SPEAKER_02: This is the most incredible quality paper.
1:47
SPEAKER_02: I feel like.
1:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:48
SPEAKER_01: I'm a nerd for this.
1:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:49
SPEAKER_02: It's real.
1:50
SPEAKER_02: Like.
1:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it feels like you're a newscast.
1:52
SPEAKER_01: Doesn't it?
1:52
SPEAKER_01: On a desk going, we'll be right back.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:55
SPEAKER_00: More
1:56
SPEAKER_01: after this.
1:56
SPEAKER_01: As things develop, we'll give you more information.
1:59
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm a demon for a good piece of paper.
2:01
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:02
SPEAKER_01: It changes everything.
2:04
SPEAKER_02: Has anyone ever had a paper cut so bad that it requires stitches?
2:08
SPEAKER_02: I bet they have.
2:08
SPEAKER_02: I bet they have.
2:09
SPEAKER_02: Because you know when you're opening like Amazon boxes?
2:12
SPEAKER_02: I've heard of it.
2:13
SPEAKER_02: I imagine that's a workplace injury.
2:15
SPEAKER_02: Really?
2:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's what we've got right there.
2:18
SPEAKER_01: These are the injuries that you get as a cartoonist that no one really talks about.
2:21
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I read some about footballers.
2:23
SPEAKER_02: Everyone knows about Caitlin Clark's hamstring.
2:26
SPEAKER_02: What about Jason got a paper cut once?
2:29
SPEAKER_02: And his skin is so soft, it left a single callous.
2:34
SPEAKER_01: Now, today, the book is out.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: This book took a long time to write.
2:38
SPEAKER_01: I know what you're thinking.
2:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm not a parent, so how did I write a book about parenting?
2:44
SPEAKER_01: This guy is a parent, parent of a two-year-old boy.
2:47
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: Who we, if you open the book, you will see it is dedicated to...
2:52
SPEAKER_01: To Leo.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: To your son, Leo.
2:54
SPEAKER_01: To his little boy.
2:54
SPEAKER_02: Technically it was for Messi, but we tell him.
2:57
SPEAKER_02: I don't know, I was just going through this whole Barcelona thing at the time.
3:02
SPEAKER_01: The book is a look at parenting from babies to toddlers to tweens to teens
3:07
SPEAKER_01: to all grown up, all the whole mess.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: And each of them, the format is you're not a real parent until, and then the gag is underneath.
3:14
SPEAKER_01: For instance,
3:15
SPEAKER_01: this one,
3:15
SPEAKER_01: A Clean Shirt is the one with the least amount of These gags we sat
3:20
SPEAKER_01: and wrote together over the course of quite a long time.
3:22
SPEAKER_01: This was our first book.
3:24
SPEAKER_01: We did this one first.
3:25
SPEAKER_02: This was the first one.
3:26
SPEAKER_02: Have you explained kind of the genesis of this series?
3:29
SPEAKER_02: Because we've also got, you know, a real dog owner.
3:32
SPEAKER_02: We've got, you know, a real New Yorker coming out at some juncture.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: Next year, you're not a real New Yorker.
3:37
SPEAKER_00: This one's the best one.
3:40
SPEAKER_02: They bought this a while ago.
3:41
SPEAKER_01: This is a follow-up to the hit book, You're Not a Real Dog.
3:44
SPEAKER_02: To the award-winning.
3:45
SPEAKER_02: Award-winning book,
3:46
SPEAKER_01: You're Not a Real Dog.
3:47
SPEAKER_02: One of the saddest speeches for a comedy...
3:50
SPEAKER_02: I want to talk to you,
3:51
SPEAKER_02: I want to talk to all of you about
3:53
SPEAKER_01: what we're doing with this because traditionally,
4:15
SPEAKER_01: When you put a book out,
4:17
SPEAKER_01: you do press,
4:17
SPEAKER_01: you do podcasts,
4:18
SPEAKER_01: TV, radio, guest articles, you have reviews, you have people doing it.
4:23
SPEAKER_01: None of that.
4:24
SPEAKER_01: We've done none of that.
4:26
SPEAKER_02: Before we start,
4:28
SPEAKER_02: I just want to make it clear that what we're planning on trying with this and
4:33
SPEAKER_02: the promotion of this book isn't one of these things where people are like,
4:37
SPEAKER_02: hey, it's always been my dream to be a New York Times bestseller.
4:40
SPEAKER_01: And this is where you come into it.
4:43
SPEAKER_02: You know those things, it's essentially GoFundMe with extra steps.
4:46
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: That's exactly right.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: It's just not necessary.
4:48
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
4:48
SPEAKER_02: But what we've done is,
4:50
SPEAKER_02: and we've been speaking to a whole bunch of our friends who have released books and
4:55
SPEAKER_02: through all these different ones,
4:56
SPEAKER_02: either with huge publishers or people that are just self-publishing
5:00
SPEAKER_02: and printing these things themselves and stuff,
5:03
SPEAKER_02: there is no kind of surefire marketing thing.
5:08
SPEAKER_02: Like nothing, it's not that nothing's working.
5:10
SPEAKER_02: It's just that there, well, I mean, nothing's working.
5:13
SPEAKER_02: Nothing's working, yeah.
5:14
SPEAKER_02: But what we thought is because we wanted to see and then document for you,
5:20
SPEAKER_02: should you have a book or something to promote, how effective Substack can be.
5:25
SPEAKER_02: So we're going to keep it within this walled garden, essentially.
5:28
SPEAKER_02: It will hopefully seep out because that would be a terrible marketing strategy.
5:33
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
5:33
SPEAKER_02: Someone's trying to buy, hey, wait till you hear about this.
5:35
SPEAKER_02: If it wasn't Substack, you're not allowed.
5:38
SPEAKER_01: But yeah,
5:38
SPEAKER_01: hopefully using the power of something like Substack,
5:41
SPEAKER_01: which is not an algorithmically driven,
5:43
SPEAKER_01: outside of notes, not an algorithmically driven thing.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: It's opt-in.
5:46
SPEAKER_01: It's people who signed up to hear from us about the things we're making.
5:51
SPEAKER_01: So Scott has a Substack.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: I have a Substack.
5:53
SPEAKER_01: You're watching both of them right now.
5:55
SPEAKER_01: And we want to be able to just connect with humans and actually...
5:59
SPEAKER_01: Oh, it's not, it's not all altruistic.
6:17
SPEAKER_01: And we do a regular podcast about coming up with ideas for cartoons.
6:21
SPEAKER_01: And we like to kind of peel back the curtain a little bit and sort of just explain
6:24
SPEAKER_01: the back end of how we arrived at our jokes and our ideas.
6:29
SPEAKER_01: So we figured, why don't we just share that and the process of making the book?
6:34
SPEAKER_02: We should point out that we have not cleared this with our publishers.
6:38
SPEAKER_02: This experiment may be career limiting,
6:43
SPEAKER_02: but we want, I'm really keen to kind of document this and kind of see what happens.
6:48
SPEAKER_02: And I think Substack is, and you're way bigger.
6:51
SPEAKER_02: I'd started writing a whole bunch of stupid jokes.
6:53
SPEAKER_02: It's what you do, the
6:53
SPEAKER_01: sizes and whatnot, yeah.
6:54
SPEAKER_02: But you're a very active member and one of the things that I've taken out is
6:58
SPEAKER_02: that there is a real community and like we're seeing people saying nice things here.
7:03
SPEAKER_02: So we just want to kind of see how that is and I think we're also at this good place
7:10
SPEAKER_02: where to be real,
7:13
SPEAKER_02: we're like lower to like middle rung kind of In terms of like,
7:21
SPEAKER_02: you know, yeah,
7:22
SPEAKER_02: we do stuff for the New Yorker,
7:23
SPEAKER_02: but we're not like,
7:24
SPEAKER_02: we don't have like 400,000 Instagram followers and all that kind of stuff.
7:28
SPEAKER_02: So that's kind of, that's the long and the short of it.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: So, and I think the thing about it is, is that now...
7:36
SPEAKER_01: We have friends who,
7:37
SPEAKER_01: and I've spoken to a lot of them recently who have books out,
7:39
SPEAKER_01: who have literally a million followers on social media,
7:42
SPEAKER_01: on Facebook and Instagram or TikTok, whatever it is.
7:45
SPEAKER_01: And as soon as they have something to sell, the algorithm shadow bans it.
7:48
SPEAKER_01: It suppresses their posts.
7:49
SPEAKER_01: Anytime they link off-site,
7:50
SPEAKER_01: anytime they mention a book or a thing or a course that they're selling on socials.
7:54
SPEAKER_02: It's like with you when you talk about women.
7:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
7:57
SPEAKER_01: I just get shadow banned and ghosted.
7:59
SPEAKER_02: Hey, did you see all the bots...
8:01
SPEAKER_01: Yes, when the Ukrainians hit the Russian bot farm.
8:04
SPEAKER_01: And have you seen the change in the comment sections and the
8:10
SPEAKER_02: amount
8:13
SPEAKER_01: of engagement
8:15
SPEAKER_01: for certain people?
8:19
SPEAKER_01: It's really interesting.
8:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, interesting how as soon as you kill the bot,
8:22
SPEAKER_01: certain people don't really have much engagement.
8:24
SPEAKER_01: What do you know?
8:25
SPEAKER_01: Mind you.
8:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: I shouldn't say this because I'm married, but my girlfriend died in that explosion.
8:33
SPEAKER_02: I've been sending her money for years.
8:36
SPEAKER_02: Every time she gets to the airport, something goes wrong with her car.
8:38
SPEAKER_02: So I just send her $1,500.
8:39
SPEAKER_02: She'll get the next flight.
8:40
SPEAKER_01: It's just countdown to when we talk about AR girlfriends with this guy.
8:43
SPEAKER_01: So what I wanted to do is share with you what Scott- Well, you won't draw me one.
8:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's true.
8:51
SPEAKER_02: That's a really funny idea.
8:54
SPEAKER_02: Like an analog scan where
8:56
SPEAKER_01: you draw a beautiful lady.
8:59
SPEAKER_01: Like a 1950s comic strip.
9:01
SPEAKER_02: Like a Betty Page.
9:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
9:03
SPEAKER_01: Like Betty Boop.
9:04
SPEAKER_02: It's like very clearly not a real person.
9:06
SPEAKER_01: Betty Boop.
9:07
SPEAKER_02: Like, hey, can you please Venmo me?
9:10
SPEAKER_01: So speaking of that,
9:14
SPEAKER_01: not at all,
9:15
SPEAKER_01: we sat down when we had to write this book,
9:18
SPEAKER_01: we sat down and we were like,
9:19
SPEAKER_01: all right, who is this for and how are we going to build out this idea?
9:23
SPEAKER_01: Because the whole spectrum.
9:24
SPEAKER_01: There's a threat in this book.
9:54
SPEAKER_01: We went a little above and beyond on this one.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: And by we, I mean this fucking guy.
9:57
SPEAKER_01: He truly, there's a death in the book.
10:00
SPEAKER_01: And then there's a meeting of two widows and widows and they end up getting together at the end.
10:05
SPEAKER_01: It's just through the gags as time goes on.
10:07
SPEAKER_01: But cause why not?
10:09
SPEAKER_01: Um, So we kind of built out these characters, gave them names, figured out who their kids were.
10:13
SPEAKER_01: And this whole book was done by hand.
10:15
SPEAKER_01: We drew every single thing, pencil, pen, like pen and ink, dip pen and ink, and then colored it.
10:22
SPEAKER_01: We did hire a colorist on this book, Naya Mohika, fantastic colorist.
10:27
SPEAKER_01: If you ever want a colorist, I'm an idiot.
10:28
SPEAKER_01: It's the first time I've ever used a colorist in my life.
10:31
SPEAKER_01: And I'm so grateful that I found Naya because she's incredible.
10:35
SPEAKER_02: Well, this is an example of the Substack thing as well.
10:38
SPEAKER_02: If you're a colorist, get in touch.
10:39
SPEAKER_02: We've got another book coming out, which is going to be black and white, admittedly.
10:44
SPEAKER_02: It's got to cover, though.
10:45
SPEAKER_02: Prove us wrong.
10:46
SPEAKER_01: It's got to cover.
10:47
SPEAKER_02: So the whole process of building these
10:49
SPEAKER_02: gags out, building out the ideas,
10:51
SPEAKER_01: building out the families,
10:52
SPEAKER_01: and this is one of the press proofs that we get speaking of good paper.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: Make sure color is really good and sort of is reflective.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: Can you explain
11:01
SPEAKER_01: just what these things are?
11:02
SPEAKER_01: So the cyan,
11:03
SPEAKER_01: magenta,
11:03
SPEAKER_01: yellow and black that the printing is done on, these are the inks that are used.
11:09
SPEAKER_01: So these are the mixes of the inks and what the CMYK breakdown is of each one,
11:13
SPEAKER_01: as well as any spot colors.
11:15
SPEAKER_01: We used a matte finish paper because it sort of...
11:19
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't,
11:20
SPEAKER_01: it's not too reflective and it still makes the colour pop without looking too shiny
11:24
SPEAKER_01: or, you know, sort of glossy and weird.
11:26
SPEAKER_01: It feels like an art book is what it feels like.
11:28
SPEAKER_01: And so we were really, really happy.
11:30
SPEAKER_01: Wazala printed this book.
11:31
SPEAKER_01: Wazala is an American company, I believe.
11:36
SPEAKER_01: But yeah,
11:37
SPEAKER_01: we really went above and beyond to sort of try and make sure that the quality
11:40
SPEAKER_01: the book.
11:41
SPEAKER_01: Do we get to say that?
11:42
SPEAKER_01: I think we do.
11:43
SPEAKER_01: I think we do.
11:44
SPEAKER_02: So like after giving like a loved one a gift, I went above and beyond on this one.
11:49
SPEAKER_02: I love it.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: We did.
11:50
SPEAKER_02: We did.
11:51
SPEAKER_02: Put the socks on.
11:53
SPEAKER_01: This is one.
11:54
SPEAKER_01: You're not a real parent until despite all evidence to the contrary,
11:58
SPEAKER_01: you're convinced your child has above average intelligence.
12:01
SPEAKER_01: That's me.
12:02
SPEAKER_01: That is 100% me.
12:04
SPEAKER_01: Because you have a kid that, you know, you have been withdrawn a lot of experience from this.
12:10
SPEAKER_01: Scott's kid is actually in the book.
12:11
SPEAKER_01: Scott and his wife and his kid are in this book.
12:14
SPEAKER_01: You can see them in there.
12:16
SPEAKER_01: There are several gags.
12:17
SPEAKER_02: I'm the guy that dies.
12:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's the guy that dies.
12:21
SPEAKER_01: Because why not?
12:22
SPEAKER_01: Because why not do that?
12:25
SPEAKER_01: But so what's this one?
12:26
SPEAKER_01: You're not a real parent until you remember when hearing someone say,
12:29
SPEAKER_01: it's your turn and something good was about to happen.
12:32
SPEAKER_02: Turn in bed.
12:33
SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
12:34
SPEAKER_02: Was that one of
12:35
SPEAKER_00: the ones?
12:35
SPEAKER_00: We had a couple that the publisher...
12:40
SPEAKER_02: So when you do these things, you hand in like the thing you like.
12:43
SPEAKER_02: We start off with a spreadsheet of where I will write like 300,
12:47
SPEAKER_02: 400 jokes about with all the same premise, the same setup.
12:51
SPEAKER_02: You're not a real parent until... And then I write the punchline.
12:55
SPEAKER_02: One of the rods for our back was...
12:59
SPEAKER_02: Um, not having everyone start with the word you,
13:02
SPEAKER_02: you're not a real whatever until you, and it just becomes a bit samey.
13:06
SPEAKER_02: So that was one of the things.
13:08
SPEAKER_02: And then we would sit down and have a conversation and we'd have a series
13:13
SPEAKER_02: of meetings, um,
13:14
SPEAKER_02: at various
13:15
SPEAKER_02: bars around Manhattan about,
13:17
SPEAKER_02: okay, so here's the joke, let's do the wording.
13:20
SPEAKER_02: What do we think the image should look like?
13:22
SPEAKER_02: And so I think that was, there was two that,
13:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they pushed back
13:28
SPEAKER_02: on.
13:29
SPEAKER_02: One of them was the nipple latching or something.
13:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, something about latching.
13:35
SPEAKER_01: No problem with nipple latching.
13:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we had to change something.
13:38
SPEAKER_02: It was a bit nipply.
13:39
SPEAKER_01: It was a bit nipply.
13:40
SPEAKER_02: Speaking of nipply.
13:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, go on.
13:42
SPEAKER_01: It's a place in Italy.
13:43
SPEAKER_01: Go on.
13:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
13:47
SPEAKER_02: Friends, like a rerun of Friends.
13:49
SPEAKER_02: Just pay attention to how nipply that show is.
13:53
SPEAKER_01: Oh, my God.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: It is quite a stark kind of thing.
13:57
SPEAKER_01: We've already gone to nipples on this show, which is, it's a record for us, I think.
14:03
SPEAKER_01: Some of the ones that, so we've seen there.
14:04
SPEAKER_02: How many fake Jennifer Aniston's got blown up?
14:08
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
14:10
SPEAKER_02: A Ukrainian drone story.
14:11
SPEAKER_02: Unless you fake Jennifer Aniston.
14:13
SPEAKER_02: Sorry, I can't, but.
14:14
SPEAKER_02: It's weird.
14:17
SPEAKER_01: Once he gets onto a topic, that's it.
14:19
SPEAKER_01: Especially if it's Jennifer Aniston's lip.
14:24
SPEAKER_01: Truly.
14:25
SPEAKER_01: So we sent out a whole bunch of these books to real parents a while back, got feedback.
14:31
SPEAKER_01: We never really know what's going to hit.
14:34
SPEAKER_01: We put a whole bunch of jokes out.
14:36
SPEAKER_01: We hope that they hit.
14:38
SPEAKER_01: We never know which one's going to resonate the most with people.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: This one in particular,
14:51
SPEAKER_01: you're not a real parent until the longest thing you can do is listen
14:54
SPEAKER_01: to your child's quick story.
14:56
SPEAKER_01: For some reason, a lot of people are coming and saying, that's me.
15:00
SPEAKER_01: That is 100% me.
15:00
SPEAKER_02: Do you think there's a part of it that is like,
15:04
SPEAKER_02: I would love to be able to say that to my kid, but I don't want to damage them.
15:07
SPEAKER_02: Thank goodness you have, because that was the
15:08
SPEAKER_01: boringest thing ever.
15:10
SPEAKER_01: A lot of unsaid things.
15:11
SPEAKER_02: So we had to change this one.
15:13
SPEAKER_01: No latching trouble for her.
15:14
SPEAKER_01: I was just about to say, your relationship with Nipples has taken a dramatic turn.
15:18
SPEAKER_01: We played with different wording, the word breast.
15:21
SPEAKER_01: The imagery was
15:23
SPEAKER_02: interesting as well.
15:24
SPEAKER_02: I remember we did a number of,
15:27
SPEAKER_02: like I didn't even ask you to, but you did a lot of topless women drawings.
15:32
SPEAKER_01: True.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: Listen, I do my research.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: This is how that gag ended up in the book, by the way.
15:39
SPEAKER_01: When hearing someone say, it's your turn in bed, meant something good was about to happen.
15:42
SPEAKER_02: I love the detail you've got in this.
15:45
SPEAKER_02: And any parent will probably attest to this.
15:48
SPEAKER_02: There's just always something.
15:50
SPEAKER_02: I've gotten to the point now in my house where I will walk past stuff that's just on the floor.
15:59
SPEAKER_02: You know that I am the standard of...
16:03
SPEAKER_02: And so I've got a thing where if I have to step up like I'm getting up on a gutter,
16:07
SPEAKER_02: then I've got to pick it up.
16:08
SPEAKER_02: But anything else, if it's a pen, that stays there.
16:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it stays there.
16:12
SPEAKER_02: It's just going to end up back there anyway.
16:13
SPEAKER_01: That's where that lives now.
16:15
SPEAKER_01: This is why you've done the math and you're certain you could afford a Ferrari
16:17
SPEAKER_01: if you were childless.
16:19
SPEAKER_02: That was a fun one to draw.
16:20
SPEAKER_01: That was a fun one to draw.
16:22
SPEAKER_01: We tried to figure out how we were going to show that idea.
16:25
SPEAKER_01: One of the ones that really hit,
16:27
SPEAKER_01: and this is,
16:28
SPEAKER_02: Jermaine,
16:28
SPEAKER_02: to what you were talking about just now,
16:29
SPEAKER_02: someone having a tidy house has become a personal attack.
16:33
SPEAKER_02: I 100% subscribe to that.
16:36
SPEAKER_01: This is one of the ones that everyone who picks up the book is going,
16:38
SPEAKER_01: yeah, absolutely, then snaps it shut and buys two copies for everyone.
16:42
SPEAKER_01: If you want to buy a copy,
16:43
SPEAKER_01: by the way,
16:44
SPEAKER_01: we probably should have said this,
16:47
SPEAKER_01: yourenotareal.com, as in Y-O-U-R-E, yourenotareal.com is where you can pick it up.
16:53
SPEAKER_02: There's one which is Y-O-U-R, not a real, but that's for dum-dum.
16:59
SPEAKER_02: It's just all the pictures where you got rid of the words because you don't know it.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
17:03
SPEAKER_01: There's no more terrifying sound in the world than Silence was this game.
17:09
SPEAKER_02: I've got a new one for that now,
17:11
SPEAKER_02: which is,
17:12
SPEAKER_02: so my kid's now at the age where he,
17:14
SPEAKER_02: like we leave him in a place to play by himself,
17:17
SPEAKER_02: but we kind of keep checking,
17:19
SPEAKER_02: but we like to give him his own space because he's got this like imagination.
17:22
SPEAKER_02: And one of the things that is just this,
17:24
SPEAKER_02: just bone chilling is just,
17:26
SPEAKER_02: you'll just hear like a thump
17:29
SPEAKER_01: and then just apropos of nothing.
17:31
SPEAKER_01: And then.
17:32
SPEAKER_02: I'm okay.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: That's great.
17:37
SPEAKER_01: That's so great.
17:38
SPEAKER_02: Dear viewer, he is never okay.
17:40
SPEAKER_01: I love that.
17:41
SPEAKER_01: That's so funny.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: I love that.
17:44
SPEAKER_02: I'm okay.
17:45
SPEAKER_02: Or just out of nowhere, you only hear a noise sometimes.
17:47
SPEAKER_02: I'm all right.
17:48
SPEAKER_02: Wait, what happened to me?
17:49
SPEAKER_02: I didn't ask you.
17:49
SPEAKER_02: Why was that an option, not being
17:51
SPEAKER_01: all right?
17:51
SPEAKER_01: Is this one that you've noticed as well?
17:53
SPEAKER_01: So I think this was, you can't remember what it's like being alone in the bathroom.
17:56
SPEAKER_01: This is the ink sketch on this one.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: And this is how it turned out in the book.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: This is another one that a lot of people seem to relate to, which is, yeah, just...
18:08
SPEAKER_02: In the spirit of just openness here as we're going to launch this experiment
18:13
SPEAKER_02: where we promote this book exclusively on Substack and all that stuff,
18:16
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to let you in.
18:18
SPEAKER_02: I now pee sitting down.
18:20
SPEAKER_02: Because my son is potty training and he will barge into the room.
18:25
SPEAKER_02: And he saw me peeing in the traditional, what
18:29
SPEAKER_01: we call stand-up.
18:30
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you know peeing like we do.
18:32
SPEAKER_02: You're a stand-up peer.
18:34
SPEAKER_01: I'm a stand-up peer.
18:36
SPEAKER_01: And he thought, I should have a go at that.
18:39
SPEAKER_01: Well, let me tell you.
18:41
SPEAKER_01: I've seen.
18:44
SPEAKER_02: It was like a fireman that just had too much choice.
18:46
SPEAKER_02: Right, right, right.
18:47
SPEAKER_02: That's very funny.
18:49
SPEAKER_01: That's very funny.
18:51
SPEAKER_02: This is my favorite joke.
18:52
SPEAKER_01: This is my favorite image in the book.
18:55
SPEAKER_01: This is the aforementioned death in the book.
18:59
SPEAKER_01: You're not a real parent until it's easier to let them dress themselves and explain dress codes.
19:02
SPEAKER_01: We've got a little boy in the Spider-Man costume at a funeral.
19:06
SPEAKER_01: So this is the character who died.
19:08
SPEAKER_01: Oh, no spoilers.
19:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and this is the husband over here who will come back later on as a widower.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: She's making a move.
19:15
SPEAKER_02: She's like Janice in The
19:16
SPEAKER_01: Sopranos.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: When Poppy Vaclavar's wife died.
19:19
SPEAKER_01: Again, spoiler alert.
19:20
SPEAKER_01: Yes, she's going to bring some ZD over later.
19:23
SPEAKER_02: Oh, don't even get me started when she had thawed out that bloody ZD.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: She really did.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: So we built out these characters and the kids, this is the widower Todd here.
19:34
SPEAKER_01: This is the poor old widower.
19:37
SPEAKER_01: And this is Dominic and Karen's boy, Sid.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: We built out the characters so that They kind of fit the different parents,
19:46
SPEAKER_01: the different styles of parenting because everyone has a different way of parenting.
19:49
SPEAKER_01: But the overarching thing of the book is there is no one hard and fast way to be a parent.
19:54
SPEAKER_01: There's no correct for everything, for every scenario.
19:58
SPEAKER_01: So it's the guilt about not doing something right or doing something the way
20:04
SPEAKER_01: that it is now expected to be done.
20:06
SPEAKER_01: We wanted to kind of give everyone the feeling that A,
20:11
SPEAKER_01: they're not alone and B, it's okay if you don't do everything perfectly.
20:15
SPEAKER_01: Everyone's just figuring this out as they go.
20:17
SPEAKER_01: And not everyone's like a perfect parent.
20:18
SPEAKER_01: You don't have to be a perfect parent.
20:20
SPEAKER_01: You can try your best.
20:21
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, this is the overarching ethos of the book that we had.
20:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:27
SPEAKER_02: Would you say?
20:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
20:30
SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm very new to it.
20:35
SPEAKER_02: It's funny.
20:37
SPEAKER_02: The people that are the most outspoken about what bad parenting looks like,
20:41
SPEAKER_02: in my experience, don't
20:42
SPEAKER_01: have children.
20:42
SPEAKER_01: Right.
20:43
SPEAKER_02: Yes, of course.
20:43
SPEAKER_02: And it's like getting advice.
20:45
SPEAKER_02: Like everyone stacks the dishwasher wrong compared to you.
20:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, right.
20:48
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
20:48
SPEAKER_01: There you go.
20:49
SPEAKER_02: But if someone who didn't own a dishwasher started telling me where to put
20:54
SPEAKER_02: the spoons,
20:55
SPEAKER_01: You're like, all right.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: It's a little going.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
20:58
SPEAKER_01: That's a perfect analogy.
20:59
SPEAKER_01: Dishwashing, having a dishwasher, and a child.
21:01
SPEAKER_01: Those are the exact same.
21:03
SPEAKER_01: I also suggest if you have a child, get a dishwasher.
21:07
SPEAKER_02: Maybe I should do parenting tips.
21:09
SPEAKER_01: You should do parenting tips.
21:10
SPEAKER_02: But it's just really like just dumb.
21:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
21:14
SPEAKER_02: Don't let them drown.
21:16
SPEAKER_01: That's the whole thing.
21:17
SPEAKER_01: It's like a PSA.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: See you next week, America.
21:19
SPEAKER_02: Don't let them drown.
21:20
SPEAKER_02: We'll see you.
21:21
SPEAKER_02: How's this guy come up with this stuff?
21:24
SPEAKER_01: So we wanted to kind of throw it over to you guys because there is,
21:27
SPEAKER_01: where's Scott's black tee is a question.
21:29
SPEAKER_01: You call me fat, darling?
21:31
SPEAKER_01: It's spy versus spy over here.
21:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
21:34
SPEAKER_01: This is the uniform.
21:35
SPEAKER_01: I normally
21:36
SPEAKER_02: wear the
21:36
SPEAKER_01: black.
21:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no.
21:37
SPEAKER_01: So we want to throw it over to you.
21:39
SPEAKER_01: We want to get some real parenting examples,
21:42
SPEAKER_01: like you're not a real parent until,
21:44
SPEAKER_01: and then have you fill out in the chat right now some of these very,
21:48
SPEAKER_01: very specific things.
21:49
SPEAKER_01: And if you would like to,
21:50
SPEAKER_01: this isn't mandatory,
21:51
SPEAKER_01: if you would like to,
21:52
SPEAKER_01: and you're wearing pants and you're not naked,
21:54
SPEAKER_01: we can add you to the stream as well, live, to talk about this.
21:59
SPEAKER_01: And for the best one, we are going to send you a free signed copy of the book.
22:05
SPEAKER_01: So in the chat right now, the prompt is, You're not a real parent until what?
22:11
SPEAKER_01: We did this with you're not a real New Yorker until... Well, you do it in stand-up.
22:16
SPEAKER_01: I'm still doing it on stage.
22:17
SPEAKER_02: Didn't you have one really specific, which was almost a catalyst for the whole series?
22:21
SPEAKER_02: What was it?
22:21
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah.
22:23
SPEAKER_01: You're not a real New Yorker until you see an NYU student get hit by a car.
22:28
SPEAKER_01: She was
22:29
SPEAKER_01: like, is that... Is that one?
22:31
SPEAKER_01: That's a crime.
22:31
SPEAKER_02: That's a crime.
22:32
SPEAKER_02: She's the one who...
22:36
SPEAKER_01: She goes, hey, just be
22:37
SPEAKER_02: quiet about the car thing.
22:38
SPEAKER_02: I was driving.
22:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:41
SPEAKER_02: I don't know why I keep telling people this.
22:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
22:46
SPEAKER_01: We, there was a girl after the show saying,
22:49
SPEAKER_01: you know, it was after the building nearly fell down in Midtown.
22:51
SPEAKER_01: There was like.
22:52
SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:54
SPEAKER_02: Oh, my God.
22:54
SPEAKER_02: It was so crazy.
22:55
SPEAKER_02: That just building really collapsed.
22:57
SPEAKER_02: That just doesn't happen here.
22:59
SPEAKER_01: And I just kind of went quiet for a minute.
23:01
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, that's kind of the only place that happens.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: That's kind of a thing.
23:05
SPEAKER_01: She was new to town.
23:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, please don't say that to anyone else.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: So we got in the chat.
23:12
SPEAKER_02: Imagine that was one of, like, there was a city.
23:13
SPEAKER_02: It's like, yeah, it's great, but the building's always full.
23:17
SPEAKER_02: If you can tolerate that, you're going to love it.
23:19
SPEAKER_01: Rent is cheap.
23:20
SPEAKER_02: I'll give you that.
23:21
SPEAKER_01: So do we have,
23:21
SPEAKER_01: by the way,
23:22
SPEAKER_01: if I just show hands,
23:23
SPEAKER_01: who in the chat, we've got a big bunch of people here, 72 people watching.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: What is, how many people aren't parents?
23:31
SPEAKER_01: Just by a show of,
23:32
SPEAKER_01: just say me or something,
23:33
SPEAKER_01: or how many kids you've got in chat so that we can sort of see,
23:36
SPEAKER_01: get a sense of who's here.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: Samantha Dion Baker, hi, I see you.
23:39
SPEAKER_01: Bucky Jones, I know you've got two kids.
23:41
SPEAKER_01: And Sam, I know you've got kids.
23:43
SPEAKER_01: And Amy and Derek, John.
23:47
SPEAKER_02: We're getting into children's television.
23:49
SPEAKER_02: And I see Derek.
23:50
SPEAKER_02: I see you.
23:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: We're, yeah.
23:53
SPEAKER_01: So we are, by the way, this is a, this was another one.
23:56
SPEAKER_01: This too shall pass has been said in reference to something a child has swallowed.
24:03
SPEAKER_02: That was another one actually that they pushed back
24:05
SPEAKER_01: on a little bit.
24:05
SPEAKER_01: They're like, that's right.
24:06
SPEAKER_01: It's a poo joke.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: But you know.
24:08
SPEAKER_01: Darlene, you have three daughters and now three grandchildren.
24:11
SPEAKER_01: Congratulations.
24:12
SPEAKER_01: Wow, that's a lot.
24:14
SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of work.
24:14
SPEAKER_01: That's a lot.
24:15
SPEAKER_01: Three daughters and three grandchildren.
24:17
SPEAKER_01: So you must have been in the all grown up section.
24:21
SPEAKER_01: You must have been through the...
24:24
SPEAKER_01: They'll come to you for advice that will be completely ignored.
24:29
SPEAKER_01: That is the parents of all grown up children.
24:35
SPEAKER_01: This is the all grown up section.
24:37
SPEAKER_01: The graduates over here.
24:39
SPEAKER_01: So, Darlene, you're not a real parent until what?
24:43
SPEAKER_01: And stop talking about Scott's black t-shirt.
24:48
SPEAKER_02: I can get a black t-shirt sponsorship.
24:52
SPEAKER_01: By the way,
24:52
SPEAKER_01: speaking of loading dishwashers,
24:54
SPEAKER_01: you realize you will never stop being impressed by them doing things.
24:57
SPEAKER_02: That's my mom.
24:58
SPEAKER_01: That's loading a dishwasher correctly.
25:00
SPEAKER_02: My mom is just so impressed when I'm like, yeah, so I had to...
25:06
SPEAKER_02: I had to get a connecting.
25:06
SPEAKER_02: You got a connecting flight.
25:08
SPEAKER_02: Tom, come here.
25:09
SPEAKER_02: So proud of you.
25:09
SPEAKER_02: Come here, listen to this.
25:10
SPEAKER_02: Oh, my God.
25:10
SPEAKER_02: Stop what you're doing, Tom.
25:11
SPEAKER_02: So you got off the plane and then got on another plane?
25:13
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
25:14
SPEAKER_02: Went to a whole different airport.
25:16
SPEAKER_01: Wild.
25:16
SPEAKER_01: Here's one.
25:17
SPEAKER_01: Sorry, we're going.
25:18
SPEAKER_01: You're not a real parent until you've reduced the time it takes to get dressed in
25:21
SPEAKER_01: the morning from an hour to 10 minutes.
25:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
25:26
SPEAKER_01: This is the parent who is having to just obviously decide what they're going to wear.
25:32
SPEAKER_01: When ahead of time.
25:34
SPEAKER_02: That's a really good one.
25:35
SPEAKER_01: And that also falls into when leading the house,
25:38
SPEAKER_01: multiple distractions are more important than keys.
25:41
SPEAKER_02: That's one of the other problems.
25:44
SPEAKER_02: What if the twist on that?
25:46
SPEAKER_02: I really like that.
25:47
SPEAKER_01: Everyone else, put yours in the chat as well.
25:48
SPEAKER_01: You're not a real parent until what?
25:49
SPEAKER_01: Put them in the chat.
25:51
SPEAKER_02: I love that insight.
25:52
SPEAKER_02: But I wonder if there's a twist to it, which is along the lines of like...
25:56
SPEAKER_02: You know how musicians like Katy Perry and Lilia,
26:01
SPEAKER_02: like those big,
26:01
SPEAKER_02: super big pop stars like Taylor Swift, they have very quick costume changes.
26:06
SPEAKER_02: Is there something in that being more relatable now because you only have... That's pretty good.
26:13
SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
26:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:17
SPEAKER_01: Like offstage costume changes.
26:19
SPEAKER_02: Offstage costume.
26:19
SPEAKER_02: And is it something like the image could be something along the lines of like,
26:24
SPEAKER_02: I'm just trying to think of like,
26:28
SPEAKER_02: Like, Vogue era Madonna was probably a good example of that, or Michael Jackson or something.
26:35
SPEAKER_02: And they're, like, looking really impressed at this parent who's getting ready for work.
26:41
SPEAKER_01: Amazingly, yeah.
26:42
SPEAKER_01: Like, one of those big sort of productions,
26:47
SPEAKER_01: and the parent is just like... Like,
26:50
SPEAKER_02: and Katy Perry is just mind-blown by how quickly this person can get into
26:55
SPEAKER_02: a different set of clothes.
26:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Katy Perry.
26:58
SPEAKER_01: This is my Katy Perry, by the way.
26:59
SPEAKER_01: She's still in her space helmet.
27:02
SPEAKER_02: Got a flower.
27:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
27:06
SPEAKER_02: Could you have ever predicted – I'm always interested in,
27:08
SPEAKER_02: like, the media managers for these people.
27:12
SPEAKER_02: Like, where
27:13
SPEAKER_00: – because there
27:13
SPEAKER_00: is a –
27:17
SPEAKER_02: there's got to be, like,
27:18
SPEAKER_02: a risk-reward thing for everything they do because they're so high-profile
27:22
SPEAKER_02: and stuff like that, isn't it?
27:23
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
27:25
SPEAKER_00: No.
27:26
SPEAKER_02: Would you have ever imagined, like, hey, do you want to go to space?
27:30
SPEAKER_02: It'd be a free trip.
27:31
SPEAKER_02: That'd be great.
27:32
SPEAKER_02: Amazing.
27:32
SPEAKER_02: That would be such a wild experience.
27:34
SPEAKER_02: And then they sit down and,
27:35
SPEAKER_02: okay, so, look, you could look a bit out of touch, but you're not paying for it.
27:41
SPEAKER_02: Okay, that's good.
27:42
SPEAKER_02: We could promote this song.
27:43
SPEAKER_02: Beautiful.
27:44
SPEAKER_02: That's good.
27:45
SPEAKER_02: Honestly, the only people that are going to be watching it are already interested in this stuff.
27:49
SPEAKER_02: So you're not really going to alienate, pun intended.
27:52
SPEAKER_02: Right.
27:54
SPEAKER_02: And then you cut.
27:55
SPEAKER_02: So she goes off.
27:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
27:57
SPEAKER_02: She comes back.
27:58
SPEAKER_02: Wild experience.
27:59
SPEAKER_02: I don't care what you think about this.
28:01
SPEAKER_02: She went to space.
28:02
SPEAKER_02: She went to space.
28:02
SPEAKER_02: That's an incredible thing to do.
28:04
SPEAKER_02: And you come back down and the entire world is just like,
28:09
SPEAKER_02: no, I can tell you who else was on that ship.
28:12
SPEAKER_01: It's just getting married.
28:14
SPEAKER_01: That's funny.
28:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
28:15
SPEAKER_01: I haven't really thought
28:16
SPEAKER_02: of it.
28:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: No, but you, yeah.
28:17
SPEAKER_02: I mean, they definitely got fired.
28:19
SPEAKER_01: They didn't get fired.
28:20
SPEAKER_01: 100% I go find them.
28:22
SPEAKER_02: Another thing I wanted to ask,
28:23
SPEAKER_02: and this is
28:24
again got nothing to do with our book, but
28:29
SPEAKER_02: do you remember when at least once or twice a week someone would be breaking
28:35
SPEAKER_02: the record as to how many bees would cover them?
28:38
SPEAKER_01: No.
28:38
SPEAKER_02: What is your algorithm?
28:41
SPEAKER_01: Beards of bees
28:42
SPEAKER_02: in the 90s.
28:42
SPEAKER_01: Beards of bees?
28:43
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you know what?
28:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
28:45
SPEAKER_01: I do remember this.
28:46
SPEAKER_01: This is on the news.
28:47
SPEAKER_01: It was always on the news.
28:49
SPEAKER_02: At least once a year.
28:50
SPEAKER_02: A true story
28:51
SPEAKER_01: about bees.
28:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
28:52
SPEAKER_02: And a man in Wollongong has set the record for most bees in the year or whatever.
28:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
28:57
SPEAKER_01: That's not a bio.
28:58
SPEAKER_01: This is... 2016 most bees.
29:00
SPEAKER_02: This is what global warming's taken from us.
29:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
29:03
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
29:04
SPEAKER_01: You know, when the bee beard men disappear, then the ecosystem is really in trouble.
29:08
SPEAKER_02: First they came for the men with
29:10
SPEAKER_01: beard beards made out of bees.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: And I said nothing.
29:13
SPEAKER_01: Actually, we said quite a lot.
29:15
SPEAKER_01: We literally put them on the news.
29:16
SPEAKER_02: We have said more about this topic
29:18
SPEAKER_01: than any other
29:19
SPEAKER_01: cartooning duo in the world.
29:21
SPEAKER_01: I'm conscious of time.
29:22
SPEAKER_01: I've only got four minutes left.
29:24
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
29:25
SPEAKER_01: Rhonda has three kids,
29:26
SPEAKER_01: two grandkids,
29:27
SPEAKER_01: and you're not a real parent until you're perfectly fine with
29:30
SPEAKER_01: the three-year-old's fashion choice of undies on her head as long
29:34
SPEAKER_01: as it keeps her ears warm.
29:36
SPEAKER_01: That's good.
29:37
SPEAKER_02: That's wonderful.
29:38
SPEAKER_02: What's the other one there?
29:39
SPEAKER_02: You're not a real parent until you're forced to take your two-year-old to your gynecologist.
29:45
SPEAKER_01: That's a good one.
29:46
SPEAKER_01: That's interesting.
29:47
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I keep being like,
29:53
SPEAKER_02: In the stirrups and the kid there and the mum is saying, you know, this is your fault.
29:59
Yes.
30:00
SPEAKER_02: Well, this is...
30:01
SPEAKER_02: I don't really like that joke.
30:03
SPEAKER_02: I think it's a bit, it's inherently sexist.
30:05
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: This is a pair of Y-fronts on a kid.
30:09
SPEAKER_01: But of course, with the Y-fronts, because of where the holes are, the ears stick out.
30:14
SPEAKER_01: So they're going to be cold.
30:15
SPEAKER_01: That's the thing.
30:16
SPEAKER_01: That's the thing that's going to be the problem with wearing Y-fronts on your head.
30:19
SPEAKER_01: It's not... You're more a boxer guy.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:24
SPEAKER_01: Imagine, yeah, oh,
30:25
SPEAKER_01: if you have the boxer briefs that way,
30:29
SPEAKER_01: it's actually all going to get covered and it can be okay.
30:33
SPEAKER_01: That's pretty good, actually.
30:34
SPEAKER_01: That works.
30:36
SPEAKER_01: All right.
30:37
SPEAKER_01: Get in the car.
30:38
SPEAKER_01: You'll look fine.
30:40
SPEAKER_01: You just want to hope that they're... Is there something in the... That they're a clean pair.
30:44
SPEAKER_02: Is there... Those skid marks.
30:46
SPEAKER_02: Is there something in, like...
30:49
SPEAKER_02: There's two kids with that, and the posh kid is wearing Calvins on their head.
30:54
SPEAKER_02: Must be nice.
30:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, must be nice.
30:57
SPEAKER_02: Always rubbing it in our faces.
30:59
SPEAKER_02: Literally.
31:01
SPEAKER_01: That's great.
31:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, rich dad, poor dad.
31:03
SPEAKER_01: That's what it is.
31:04
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's funny.
31:07
SPEAKER_01: Draw me a bee, says Tracy.
31:10
SPEAKER_00: Make me a bicycle clown.
31:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, this is a bee.
31:13
SPEAKER_01: This is my bee.
31:14
SPEAKER_01: I have perfected the B across decades.
31:18
SPEAKER_01: That's my B.
31:20
SPEAKER_01: That's, I mean, that's as good as it gets.
31:22
SPEAKER_02: That's a B minus.
31:24
SPEAKER_01: It's just turned into a B movie.
31:26
SPEAKER_01: All right.
31:27
SPEAKER_01: What's in your water?
31:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's a great question.
31:30
SPEAKER_01: This is straight gin.
31:33

33:06
SPEAKER_01: And also as time goes on,

SPEAKER_01: Come up with the idea, the genesis of the idea.
33:17
SPEAKER_01: Scott and I sat down and did a bit of a fireside chat style thing a while ago
33:22
SPEAKER_01: about each of the things about how did we come up with the idea,
