00:02:20
Speaker
Yeah. I do not. No, I, I do not drive better when I drunk. I drive much worse. Yeah. Uh, I hate that excuse. And I've been with people that are, and they're never, they're never,
00:02:35
Speaker
calm drivers. They always drive erratically. They're always crazy. And it's like, no you're you're bad. Like, this is terrible. I i don't want to drive with feel like I'm going to die very, very soon. And I would like you to please not kill me today.
00:02:51

Oh, and they all have the ego. They're all like, no, I know what I'm doing as if they're professional precision drivers. All of them say that. so All of them say that. Drunk driving... Sorry, I'm angry.
00:03:02
Speaker
Drunk driving in New York is... based on experiences I've been in, i don't drive too often in New York. I don't have a car. I don't need a car. um i felt like I was quoting the Big Lebowski there. I don't ride in a car and it sure as shit, don't fucking roll. um Shomer Shabbos. No, but a lot a lot of my friends, like we've been at the bar, we've been together or at a restaurant, we've had a few drinks and they drive perfectly fine. You would have no idea they were intoxicated. it's And based on the amount they drink, it's scary.
00:03:34
Speaker
Yeah, I and also just people that drive crazy that it nothing is worse than someone who drives crazy when they also like have that ego.
00:03:46
Speaker
Like I'm repeating myself here, but they also have that ego that they are like professional drivers to. there's Yeah, but they tend take a look I guess they take a little, I'll call it pride in driving, maybe not an ego, but they yeah definitely take pride in the fact that, oh, you want me to drive? No, I'll drive. I'll drive. I'm like, well, i want to fuck it.
Sports Fans & MLB Playoffs

00:04:23
Speaker
Yeah. Oh, God. It just, like, irritates me so much. I will say, though, it can I've been all over the state of California, and drivers on Interstate 5, or the 5, as you guys call it out there, guys, you guys drive like fucking maniacs.
00:04:37
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, I definitely drive like a grandpa, and I don't give a fuck. No, you shouldn't. you got a problem with that, then fucking get an Uber, bro. Yeah, I, um...
00:04:49
Speaker
When I do drive, i yeah i I mean, I go make maybe 10 over the speed limit kind of thing, but nothing crazy. You know, I'm not driving. I mean, I have gone, you know, on I-95, you know, 20 over and stuff. I've done it, but like two in the morning.
00:05:04
Speaker
Oh, animal. Yeah, I'm not, um but I don't drive often. And when I do, it's usually like one long distance trip to Georgia to see my wife's family. Yeah, yeah.
00:05:15
Speaker
Yeah. Well, um I forgot to mention, I keep forgetting to do like an intro. Not that it really matters, but um so yeah, this ah this is the Down With DP podcast for oh yeah September 30th, 2025.
00:05:28
Speaker
ah that' twenty five That is the date that we record, not necessarily a date that it airs, just so you know that it's like if something happens tomorrow and they're like, why didn't you talk about it? what Because we recorded before this shit happened, man.
00:05:42
Speaker
Yeah, dude, the entire state of Florida broke off from the us and floated away. Like, why didn't you say that? i i i didn't know about it. Bye. Bye. Bye. Um, yeah. So, uh, anyway, welcome. Welcome.
00:05:59
Speaker
Okay. Um, any, um, oh yeah. So I was in Long Beach, California this weekend and which is beautiful. you've ever been along, you have been along. I've been to Long Beach multiple times. Yeah. Yeah.
00:06:10
Speaker
Yeah. Love Long Beach. Um, here's the thing. So I was there during a big game. There was, was there a big game that just happened on Sunday?
00:06:21
Speaker
ah the, with the sport. fuck l um The Chargers law took their first loss this year. Baseball. The Dodgers are going to the playoffs.
00:06:33
Speaker
Okay. Maybe that was it. We are going to talk about the major league baseball playoffs in a moment. Yeah. Cause I was going to transition into that by saying, um I remember walking past like this bar And you know what? like this I'm also a not a sports guy. You're not, even though we're going to talk about sports today. because i Yeah, which is fine.
00:06:53
Speaker
So one the things that I can't stand are the people in sports bars. Now, granted, like, ah fucked does that mean you know, I'm in I'm in that environment. Right. okay so but I can't stand the clappers, the sports clappers where they're like, let's go.
00:07:13
Speaker
Let's go. And and they erupt. I'm just like, shut shut the fuck up. I'm going to defend the sports fans right now as a bar patron. Yes.
00:07:25
Speaker
I am also realizing I'm in the wrong. I'm in a sports bar. Who am I criticize? If you need to go to your, you know, Dungeons and Dragons or whatever the fuck it's called. or How dare you? It's called bar fade.
00:07:38
Speaker
Whatever. um No, i i've me personally, i like its a depend if my if like the Bucks are playing, the Lightning are playing, the Rays are playing, um the Mets are playing, i get pretty passionate.
00:07:50
Speaker
Uh-huh. ah but like But I'm not there like, you know, clapping, let's go, like in the middle of a play with nothing. I might i'd say, let's fucking go. Like, New York fans are extremely passionate. I mean, right to be a Mets or a Jets fan takes a lot of pain and heartache.
00:08:08
Speaker
And unfortunately, those are my two New York teams. Which leads me to the and MLB playoffs. Are you excited? you The Dodgers are in it, so you should be excited. That's the California team, right? Don't be a student. nod Yes, yes. It's a California team.
00:08:23
Speaker
I was at a Dodger game like a few weeks ago. so yeah And I'm sure and it looks like a beautiful stadium. I'm sure it's fun. It's it's on my list. I haven't been to that one. I left at the bottom bottom of the six because it was...
00:08:36
Speaker
Beaming hot. And I was with someone who had season tickets and we had amazing seats. But even he was like, yeah, we got to go. It was direct sunlight. Oh, that fucking sucks. It was it was just but we were burning. You couldn't enjoy the game. So so the Dodgers will be playing the Cincinnati Reds in the wild card.
00:08:56
Speaker
It would have been the Mets if the Mets won their last fucking game on this weekend. But they fucking didn't. The Mets don't usually win, right?
00:09:07
Speaker
So shut the fuck up. No, I'm just kidding. Sorry. Sorry. sorry um' sorry The Mets have the second highest payroll in baseball. Really?
00:09:18
Speaker
Yes. What are they paying for? the They pay for great players, which they have amazing players. And the fact that... we Yeah, okay, so our pitching got a little injured, but our pitching also sucked to this year.
00:09:30
Speaker
We were one of the best teams ever In the middle of the season, one of the best teams, we ended up losing by one fucking game.
00:09:42
Speaker
Dude. If we would have won, we would have gone into the playoffs. But because Cincinnati had the tiebreaker, they went in. So... it's a And considering we went to the National League Championship, which is the series before the World Series, ah yeah, we were fucking heartache disappointment.
00:10:02
Speaker
um As you can see, I'm wearing my Padres hat now. ah because Tampa Bay Rays aren't in it. They had a shitty season. The Mets, complete fucking disaster.
00:10:12
Speaker
So, yes, I'm going with the Padres. The Padres are my favorite my favorite West Coast team. San Diego is San Diego. It's my favorite California city.
00:10:23
Speaker
No offense to LA. So I am going with San Diego. I don't blame you because I've been to Petco Park before. Petco Park is gorgeous. Yeah, it is. I've never been there for a game. Probably the best park I've ever been to.
00:10:37
Speaker
One of the best parks. that's cool. um So with that said, i I love going to games. Like, I can get into it. I'm kind of trolling a little bit. Like, I enjoy watching a game in, like, there. um I've been to Petco Park, ah but not for a game. it's Petco Park is located...
00:10:56
Speaker
Right, like right across from from the convention center or the convention center where San Diego Comic-Con is held. So I've gone there for Comic-Con. Gaslamp is an amazing neighborhood. Oh, I do. I've gone to Gaslamp for just my birthday, not even for Comic-Con. Just got a room.
00:11:13
Speaker
It's great. went to the com Went to the laugh factory. ah Like, it's great. Sometimes for the layovers, we stay in the Gaslamp. So
Travel & Concert Stories
00:11:21
Speaker
it's ah always a good time down there. A little shout out, a really cool bar next time you're there. It's called Trailer Park After Dark.
00:11:28
Speaker
I've heard of it. um It's ah for those of you who plan to go into the San Diego area. ah Trailer Park After Dark is this underground. I mean, there's bars that are downstairs underground and it is dressed up like a trailer park.
00:11:42
Speaker
yeah You look like it's so cool. Like the chairs are like sawed off ah shopping carts. It's it's really silly and it's great. It's just a good time. um Reminds me a home. we We used to have a bar like that in New York called Trailer Park Lounge in Chelsea. It's a similar thing. You walk in, you look like you're in a fucking mobile home.
00:12:01
Speaker
okay. Yeah, it's pretty cool. But I've heard a Trailer Park After Dark. It's on my list to go to, but sometimes I get in late and I have no desire to go anywhere. Nor does anybody want to go out with me. so I'm like, all right, I'm not going by myself.
00:12:13
Speaker
I'll go with you. Thanks, buddy. Yeah. But, uh, yeah, back to the major league baseball. Um, yeah. do right um Back to sports. Dodgers are in it.
00:12:24
Speaker
ah Thank you. Uh, I will take that as a fucking compliment. Oh, the Yankees are in it. They play the red socks. That's always exciting. That's a wonderful, wow um, Normally I would cheer for the Yankees considering it's good for the bars. It's good for business, things like that.
00:12:39
Speaker
However, when I was at, um, I was at Yankee stadium and they were playing the Tampa Bay Rays and I had my Rays gear on and some random guy, probably from fucking New Jersey comes up to me and goes, Tampa Bay sucks.
00:12:54
Speaker
Didn't fucking do anything to provoke the guy. no And I'm like, well, you guys aren't doing great either. You guys aren't, you know, you know, really winning your division right now there' Yankees were in a nice hump at the time. yeah So it's just so like Yankees fans suck.
00:13:08
Speaker
I'm sorry. My wife is a Yankees fan. I'm going to wait for her every fucking morning. um I mentioned I called bingo at a bar in Kew Gardens at Austin's Alehouse. And I put the Boston Red Sox kind of theme song, Sweet Caroline, as part of the music for my bingo post. So that's me saying, fuck you, Yankees.
00:13:26
Speaker
But if they win, if they make it to the World Series or the American League Championship, I will most likely cheer for them just for the sake of... a New York, but ah normally they can go fuck themselves.
00:13:38
Speaker
Oh, wow. That's just me. It's the fans. They're like, oh, we got 27 championships. Oh, how about we, yeah, you guys enjoying, where's Juan Soto now? Juan Soto, oh, because he used to play with the Yankees last year. So it's been a whole season of them just being dicks. So fuck them. I completely agree with you.
00:13:55
Speaker
Dodgers fans aren't great either. Well, yeah, I completely agree with you. Okay. All right. okay well yes no um Okay. So we're going to go to a commercial break and Ron's going to take a breather.
00:14:09
Speaker
um and Be sure to take your Tylenol, Ron. Oh, my Tylenol. Oh, no, no. No, but I get you with the fan thing because I get like that with nerd stuff.
00:14:20
Speaker
So one of the things one of the nerd things I never got into, not that I'm necessarily against it, but the fans were kind of too much. And that was Doctor Who. I couldn't get into it. I didn't even want to get into it because the fans were like, I just felt like a lot.
00:14:37
Speaker
And I'm, and plus the show has been on since like 1878. Yeah. It's been on forever. There's been like, how many Dr. Who's like, it's yeah. I think it was a TV show before cameras were invented. was a long time. I've seen of it. that Yeah. Yeah.
00:14:50
Speaker
But it does have a huge cult following, doesn't it? Oh, huge. And I just couldn't. There was like a few things that I had trouble like that I would have gotten into and the fans kind of ruined it.
00:15:02
Speaker
I had a friend that wanted I forgot what turned him off. I think it was at the time it was during high school, actually, when Harry Potter was a big craze. Oh, yeah.
00:15:13
Speaker
he i I kind of had a you know, this is, you know, during the hype of the books, like not all the movies are out. So it was like prime Harry Potter. And I had to like I had to be real with it. I'm like, hey, man, just read the books.
00:15:27
Speaker
Don't worry about what people are saying. Screw the fans. Like, just enjoy it or don't. And then he loved it. Like, once once I told him that, hey, don't listen to the fans, then he was down.
00:15:39
Speaker
Yeah. So sometimes fans do ruin stuff if they're a little bit too. Agreed. In your face. So. And I think sports definitely um fans ruin a lot of it. They really do. I do.
00:15:50
Speaker
I do get jealous of people who are into sports because to to have a hobby that you're that intense about sounds fun. Like it is that driven. And I wasn't always into sports like this. I used to be like, I like my football. That was pretty much it now. Yeah.
00:16:06
Speaker
My favorites, i look I can't wait for baseball season to start back up. And hockey season is starting up. I'm a huge hockey fan now. I've always liked the team. Are you Ranger fan? Lightning, how dare you? Okay, I wasn't sure. No, no, no. no no no my my I have remained loyal to Tampa Bay. I have remained loyal. I have my favorites of the Northeast of New York, New Jersey area. But um you know anytime they play a Tampa Bay team, I will always cheer for Tampa Bay.
00:16:30
Speaker
um Yeah, my my my sister is a big Ranger fan, and I just want to go to the garden just to go. The garden is an experience. Yeah. I have gone there. I've gone there multiple times as a for concerts. I've gone there for to see the Lightning Rangers, and nobody fucks with you. They kind of respect you, but they are passionate asshole fans.
00:16:52
Speaker
Yeah. have Is Billy Joel still playing there or was that like I think he ended his residency. I did see him February of 2020, actually. Really? Yeah, at the Garden. So right before we all shut down, yeah, that's I saw Billy Joel.
00:17:07
Speaker
How was it? Phenomenal. Okay. Phenomenal. He puts on a hell of a show. Okay, because ah maybe I was just talking about this recently um when I was a kid.
00:17:18
Speaker
So I don't know if I've talked about this on the podcast. I went to the dueling pianos tour and it was Elton John and Billy Joel. and Did we talk about this already? don't think so. But if we did, oh well, they're to hear it again.
00:17:29
Speaker
Yeah, well, here we go Take two. um Yeah, because I was complaining about how you know I was a kid. This was like prime Lion King. So Lion King was... Yeah, it was the shit.
00:17:43
Speaker
And I remember i i'm ah I wasn't a dumb kid. I'm not going say i was smart, but I was aware of my surroundings. And I'm watching... Elton John sang Circle of Life. And I just remember all the adults. Of course, they had good intentions.
00:18:00
Speaker
All the adults were like hitting my shoulder like, Robert, but it's it's the Lion King. It's the Lion King. Yes, I know. i know it's the Lion King song more than any of you.
00:18:10
Speaker
and I'm the one who should be telling you it's from Lion King. i was I remember being like, shut up. Let me enjoy Elton. Sing Circle Life. When I did see Billy Joel, he did do like a quick cover of Yellow Brick Road.
00:18:24
Speaker
Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road. Yeah, yeah he they did a screw in it. One of my favorite Elton John songs. and Just to hear that live by Billy Joel, even though I wish I could have seen it. never saw Elton.
00:18:35
Speaker
It's fucking awesome. That was phenomenal. that's so cool. Nice. That was awesome. Yeah. Yeah, I was I was legitimately thinking of making a trip to New York just to see Billy Joel, but he's still performing. ah I'm not sure. I think his residency has ended NSG, but yeah, he's still performing. All right. He's still performing. um I think he is. i don't know.
00:18:57
Speaker
Yeah. Well, least I get to say I saw him speaking of concerts. I didn't respect him enough. What? Yeah. I know you heard Dolly Parton postponed her residency. Where was she playing? Vegas.
00:19:09
Speaker
Oh, wow. I think she's having some health issues. oh Oh, I know. Seriously. Oh, yeah. so She was like, no, I'm going hold off and take care it. Yeah. I'm like, oh, shit. I don't know exactly what's wrong with her. I probably should look at that up, but it just came to mind.
00:19:22
Speaker
So I figured I'd mention it. man. she That's going to be a big one if she goes. Stop it. Like, I mean, everyone. Robert Ezekiel Dunn. Stop it. I'm sorry. ah Same thing with. ah American Treasure.
00:19:36
Speaker
ah Dick Van Dyke, too. He's 100. What are you doing? i don't know. I'm sorry. Do not put any of this in the universe. Yeah, let me let me let me say some annoying people. um I can't think of anyone. Well, I can think of about 12.
00:19:52
Speaker
Oh, my God. You know what? I'm just going say, because you're going dark going to be. What about Chuck Norris? Huh? If he can die, if he can even fucking die. That's the thing with Chuck don't think he can. I think he reincarnates immediately.
00:20:06
Speaker
Yeah. I like the meme of Chuck Norris. It's awesome. It's I love it. That is cool. But Chuck chuck Norris himself kind of. Yeah. He's got his opinions that I don't necessarily agree with. But, you know, overall, you know, Chuck Norris standing with ah Hercules, that guy.
00:20:25
Speaker
Yeah. heard The Greek guy? played her No, no. Yeah, the actual Hercules. No, the guy who played Hercules. ah Not Ryan Gosling, who played young Hercules.
00:20:37
Speaker
ah Oh, the other guy. Yeah, I forget. He did a lot. He he like started diving into like faith-based movies, and he started getting little weird. Whatever. Each to their own.
00:20:48
Speaker
But Young Hercules was a show I really liked that starred Ryan Gosling, so that's cool. What shows are you watching right now, actually Um, so i am currently watching season two of tires with. Okay.
00:21:02
Speaker
Um, it feels very like, It just feels like a very, I don't know. I want to say low budget, but it's it's just's a good TV show. It just feels very contained.
00:21:14
Speaker
Like this is clearly like a bunch of guys who are, they're putting some money into a show. um Probably more than I'm expecting that I think they are. But, ah you know, it's a fully filmed show. I don't know what I'm going on about about the budget, but it doesn't matter. It's a funny show. and I don't know if they're spending the money that they should.
00:21:32
Speaker
Yeah, they should be spending a lot more money. No, but it's great. That's that's what I'm really trying to say, Ron, is that it's great. i ah I don't watch Tires.
00:21:43
Speaker
I do like Shane Gillis, though. Yeah. and he's really And he's really exploded as of late. like he's like I feel like he's everywhere, which is great because he's funny. I think he's funny. Yeah, yeah. um i Only Murders in the Building. I'm watching that as of right now.
00:21:58
Speaker
Yeah, um I started watching that, but then I stopped not because it's bad or anything. I just like fell out of it. out of it Yeah, that's kind of I'm trying to watch Righteous Gemstones is trying to catch up with that. I'm also that's a little falling out kind of thing. But yeah. Okay.
00:22:13
Speaker
Okay. High Potential. Oh, that's funny. Yeah, it's kind of a funny comedy drama. What is that show? Caitlin Olsen plays this mom of three who has an IQ of 160, and she's able to...
00:22:29
Speaker
um solve a really complex problems and stuff like that. so Because her brain works completely different wavelength. And so she does something for the LAPD. She actually becomes a consultant and she helps the LAPD solve murder cases and things like that.
00:22:45
Speaker
But it's comedy too, right? Yeah, of course. Meanwhile, at the same time, she's trying to find what happened to her her ex, her firstborn's father. Okay.
00:22:55
Speaker
So there's like, so there's like some behind, there's like two side stories going, two stories going on at the same time. And I liked the show a lot. Usually I'm not into those types of shows, but i do like Caitlin Olsen, you know, always sunny in Philadelphia. Fantastic.
00:23:07
Speaker
Right. Love that show. actually never made that connection that that was her. Cause I didn't, I didn't watch always sunny. Oh, I've watched a lot of it. Not all of it, but like I have my friend Victor is just like every new episode on repeat when he goes to bed, like he watches it constantly. Wow, that's cool.
00:23:25
Speaker
um Now, I've been watching a lot of like murder documentaries. That's that's my go to thing when I go to bed. Murder puts me asleep. I say that again one more time for the for everybody.

Yeah, we got into that. If you want to hear that story, check out our latest episode. Ron is over it. I'm over it. He's totally over it. um Well, I was going to say...
00:25:04
Speaker
When, uh, with only murders, uh, it's kind of related. Uh, did you get it back? Did you get into the Jimmy Glick coming back craze? Jiminy Glick. I love, I loved him as a kid.
00:25:17
Speaker
I was thinking of Jimmy Kimmel, which he like, it's for him. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's right. I know Jiminy Glick. Um, it was funny cause Martin short in the last episode kind of hit those high pitches like he does with Jiminy. So I was like, Oh, there's a little Jiminy Glick in there. Yeah. I hear it.
00:25:32
Speaker
Can you do, like, I could kind of do, I mean, I don't know if you really think I can do a Jiminy Glick type thing. I mean, that's good. Are you, are you, are you sure that you can do that? Because Robert, are you really an actor? Are you just somebody who pretends to be an actor?
00:25:48
Speaker
pretends to be what's it like to be poor tell me what's it like yeah yeah yeah uh i love had like bill hater yeah bill hater that's not a name you hear every day is it not leonard dicaprio that's that's an that's a name dicaprio now that's a name sounds like sounds i'd like a side of dicaprio And then you have Bill Hader.
00:26:15
Speaker
You're such a hater. Why? yeah. ah yeah And he was like, and you skipped hair and makeup, which was a choice. but it was It was so good. i wonder how much of that. is I mean, I'm sure it's like 80% improv, but.
00:26:30
Speaker
but It's gotta be. I mean, between although like Jiminy Glick and like between two ferns, Zach Galifianakis to my favorite comedy talk show things. Yeah. Yes. Jiminy Glick, I think is that superior comedy. I think.
00:26:44
Speaker
I think my favorite Jiminy Glick interview was the one where he interviews Larry David. Oh yeah. Cause Larry David, like, I feel like it's hard to get Larry David to actually laugh. Like a genuine laugh from Larry. david Yeah. That's a challenge. that's a challenge And he has accomplished that.
00:27:00
Speaker
Because did Larry David, he had some show, was it called like Friday Night Live or something? Sounds familiar. He had show like that where he's like, yeah, had a show like called Friday Night Live. He's like, oh, it's like Saturday Night Live, except not funny.
00:27:15
Speaker
like It's like Saturday Night Live, just not funny. Just not funny. Yeah, you know, Larry David, you have that Brooklyn thing. You know, Larry David has that Brooklyn thing. Like he's doing an impression of him and it was so good.
00:27:28
Speaker
um Yeah. all You have that Larry David anger. I'm going to waste my a whole day just watching Jiminy Glick things. I'm just going to sit and watch all The Larry David one is worth it.
00:27:42
Speaker
I'm going I think, drive my wife crazy today just by doing that voice all day. Honey, did you clean the dishes? You never do the dishes. You know that, right? And it gets a little stinky in here. Yeah. I think she's I think she's like close by. So she's probably gonna be like, what the fuck, Ronald? um She's so much taller than me.
00:28:02
Speaker
Since we're getting on impressions, ah an impression I can't do. So this is not like a secret that I'm like going to. You can do or can't do? I can't do. I've been trying to work on. It's it so such a weird impression, but like I like SpongeBob.
00:28:17
Speaker
I like SpongeBob. Yeah. Like, oh, Patrick, I don't. Why are you doing that? Stop doing that. You're good with the high pitch voices, I noticed. Well, yeah.
00:28:29
Speaker
But like, ah because like Mr. Krabs is just a pirate. tired Maybe you just like somebody. oh that's good. That's not bad. That's not bad. Better than me. Yeah. um Kind of like, um what's his name ah from like Disney? ah Jim Cummings?
00:28:46
Speaker
No, no. Although I think he does the voice of him. uh the voice of like goofy's goofy's neighbor oh that guy goofy's yeah no i forget his oh god what's his fucking name i don't want to use the internet i'm from the 90s no no oh okay well i'm gonna look it up so we don't oh i got it but want to don something no it's actually a really quick simple name four letters

Speaker
Kyle? I don't know. It begins with a P. Pete? Yeah, yeah. Pete was kind of like, he was kind of a pirate. He kind of took. Oh, that's good. Yeah, that's good. Kind of like that.
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah. I just, I played a lot of Kingdom Hearts. i don't know if you ever played that game and Pete's in it. I did a little bit, yeah. Yeah. He was like, we have to get to Hurtless and bring it back to Maleficent.
00:29:37
Speaker
Oh, that's good. Yeah, it was good. That's good. But you're good with high pitch. I am. yeah Yeah, I am good with high pitch. Yeah, that's kind of my voice. I guess the only thing I could do, and you do it too, is the Mickey Mouse. Like, oh boy.

00:30:22
Speaker
It's been so long. I've done it for a long time. And I've made no money. Well, you should have done it at a coffee shop would have got better tips.

00:31:35
Speaker
You want that, Mr. Savage? Just what the hell are you, little man? Your little red furry thing, You look like the jacket I wear sometimes. I can make you into a nice vest. Are you having a stroke, sir?
00:31:50
Speaker
Do you need medical assistance? I need some coffee. I love the vanilla latte. Okay, we can make you have vanilla latte. We can do it. Okay, okay. What kind of size would you like, Mr. Savage?
00:32:02
Speaker
I'm currently looking for glasses. oh I only have these. dear God. Now you can't see the menu. Okay.
00:32:11
Speaker
i Yeah, I can't see the menu because of all the cocaine. Yeah. Maybe you want decaf latte? No, I need the... I'll have the red... I'm making a double red eye. Okay, double red... Okay.

00:32:59
Speaker
That's because I'm a puppet, sir. I'm a puppet. you know i hopet yeah home don't even know what Macho Man would drink. like does Did he even drink coffee or did he just have straight coffee? don't know but it does ah he strikes me as like a regular cream and sugar guy.
00:33:17
Speaker
Oh, Just a simple like, let me get a coffee. Like that's that's probably the only look yeah of the black coffee with the cream on the side. yeah Yeah, that's probably. Yeah, that sounds like something he would do. Yeah, absolutely. be Like, do you have your cream? And it'd be that he just pulled out of nowhere. Like, yeah, I got the cream right here. Yeah.
00:33:37
Speaker
Yeah, that's probably what he would do. Oh, yeah, he's probably a black. He's probably a black coffee drinker, ironically. Yeah, no, i he strikes me as a regular cream and sugar kind of guy.
00:33:49
Speaker
do you think Hulk Hogan drank coffee? I don't know. of Hogan probably drank black coffee. that or He's probably just a cream guy. Yeah. did Did both of them live in Tampa?
00:34:02
Speaker
ah Tampa Bay area. Yeah. why Why do wrestlers live in Florida? Probably because at the time it was cheaper. And there's a lot of like Florida championship wrestling. I think that used to exist or it still does exist. I forget the names change, but there's like a lot of wrestling in Florida so they can still work at smaller circuits. A lot of medical facilities, too, because they're apparently Ric Flair is like in Tampa constantly just drinking all the time.
00:34:28
Speaker
Sounds about right. And after after everything he's been through, yeah, he don't give a fuck. Right. He just doesn't care. Well, don't know. Enjoy your life. Yeah, I mean, no, he he's fucking Ric Flair.
00:34:41
Speaker
Yeah. Elmo could take him. Elmo could put him in the ficus for a day. Piece of his medicine.
00:34:49
Speaker
Yeah. ah theres There's a new guy that does Elmo's impression now, right? like because ah yeah it was um Kevin Clash was the guy who has an amazing resume. Worked in the Labyrinth.
00:35:02
Speaker
and There's so much he did with Jim Henson. There's so much he did with Jim Henson productions and stuff back in the day until he got accused of sleeping with an underage person. Um, Oh, don't you hate when that happens? Yeah. And I don't, something tells me that I, I think he's innocent. Like there are a lot of times where i'm like, no, they fucking did it, but I don't think he did.
00:35:21
Speaker
And if he did do it, I don't think he did it intentionally kind of thing. He didn't intentionally sleep with someone? No, no, no. I don't think he knew maybe of their age properly. i could be wrong. but um Oh, because I actually didn't read into it. Was this like he hooked up with someone? and i forget. I think he had a relationship. I don't remember exactly, but...
00:35:41
Speaker
Definitely sleeping with a minor kind of thing. He also did the voice of baby dinosaur on the dinosaurs. Not the mama. That was also him. No way. i was talking about that why Why am I like more sad now? Oh, going to make even I'm going to make. I believe he also did the voice of Splinter in the original Ninja Turtles movies.
00:35:57
Speaker
Really? Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, what are you going to do? Yeah. Now there's a new guy. he's I think he's been doing it for the set for a long time. He's also great.
00:36:10
Speaker
I mean, you can't even tell them apart kind of thing. So, yeah. I mean, you know, actors get old, they die. you know, frank I think Frank Oz retired a few years ago. He's one of the OGs.
00:36:22
Speaker
Yeah. they they They die. They get accused. They get accused. I will say, though, Jim Henson, I think Jim Henson is one of the greatest... ah greatest things that ever happened to cinema to entertainment, you know, what he did with puppets. Uh, I still haven't watched the documentary, but, um, me either. The Ron Howard one, right? Yeah. I think I might have to make that a, um, uh, homework tonight, but yeah, he's, um, yeah, yeah, he's phenomenal. He was, he was phenomenal. Um, i so I still get kind of upset about it. Um,
00:36:50
Speaker
that yeah Also, like we've talked about actors that have died, you know, too soon kind of thing. he Yeah, I was going to say, I want to watch a John Candy documentary. i don't know if that's out yet. I think it comes out next month, like tomorrow kind of thing. I'm not sure. that That'll probably be a cry session, too.
00:37:05
Speaker
but Yeah. Anyway, happy things, happy things, happy things, happy things. Oh, I'm looking forward to watching Planes, Trans and Allmobiles like I do every Thanksgiving. so Exactly.
00:37:19
Speaker
But what are you going to say?
Space Travel & Alyssa Carson
00:37:21
Speaker
Um... Next thing. yeah I don't know. We can go on something else. Yeah, happy things. Happy things. Well, I, um... Mr. Margeman, do you want to go to space?
00:37:32
Speaker
Oh, I'm already in space. Yeah. Yeah. I took a rocket ship up the nose. I'm in space right now.
00:37:42
Speaker
I got a dog in the background right now. Da Boppy. My cat never visits me. It's weird. She'll wait right by the door for me to be finished. um serious question If you had a chance to leave this planet, would you? would you And like permanently leave, would you?
00:37:58
Speaker
No. and Neither would I. I would die here on Earth. That's perfectly acceptable. However... um Now, some of this is true, some of it's not. NASA says no, but I don't know. I think it's probably real to some extent. um Alyssa Carson, a social media influencer and space enthusiast known for her ambition from a young age to be the first person on Mars.
00:38:19
Speaker
She has attended numerous space camps and has visited NASA center every nasa visitor center. Every NASA is that ah visitor center. I can't talk. She uses the social media branding NASA Blueberry, but NASA stated she's not affiliated with NASA or any program.
00:38:33
Speaker
So she is she wants to train to go to Mars and never come back. And she's an influencer? Yeah. Does she have like an interest in... like Obviously she does in NASA, but like it like does she is she only trying to be an influencer? or is she was she like I think she's legit trying to get accepted to go to Mars and stay there.
00:38:55
Speaker
However, there is the Artemis program, which I believe they are... Their state of the long term goal to establish a permanent base on the moon and facilitate human missions to Mars.
00:39:09
Speaker
Like they want to send someone to Mars to stay there for 500 days. So that's what we're working on Look, man, I don't even trust when the new iPhone comes out. I wait for people to buy it first.
00:39:21
Speaker
I ain't going to be team A on Mars. That's not going to Yeah, no, I'm like team alpha, like, you know, after the alphabet. When we get to the Greek alphabet. No, when we get to the ground fuck the the English alphabet, let's get to the Greek alphabet.
00:39:35
Speaker
You know, alpha, omega, yeah, gamma, delta, gamma. No, I'm sorry. I have no desire to leave this planet. At least get the plumbing installed Wi-Fi before I start showing up.
00:39:46
Speaker
I mean, I personally think Mars was the planet that we had before and then came over here or just kind of eventually developed kind of thing. I think Mars was interesting. That's my personal opinion. I mean, that yeah, because that is a theory of like it is a theory. We were a seed planted on this.
00:40:03
Speaker
Yeah, that's kind I kind of feel like Mars was our first planet and we fucked it up. And here we are again fucking it up. Yeah. Yeah. um We'll will be Mars too. And ah well, um I wouldn't want to go.
00:40:17
Speaker
I only ask if she's interested because, you know, people that become astronauts, I assume they're it's like a lifelong goal. They go to school for it. lot of times they're in the military.
00:40:29
Speaker
and one it was the Air Force. Now the Space Force. Yeah. So, I mean, it's it's a lot of training. It's not like you just go, I want to go to space. Right. That's kind of what I'm wondering. I just want to go to space.
00:40:40
Speaker
Yeah, because if she's just an influencer, um but there's something to be said about like, because usually influencers, they like the attention. um And I feel like if you're permanently on Mars, you're not going to get that feedback like you would on Earth. Like, I don't know.
00:40:59
Speaker
So i mean she also maybe she's just genuinely interested. She has a Bachelor of Science in Astrobiology. Oh, there we go. That's what I was curious. Okay. So that makes a lot more sense. She is a doctor of philosophy candidate at the University of Arkansas in the biology department.
00:41:14
Speaker
So yeah, she's she's legit working on it. Sweet, sweet. Okay, that makes a lot more sense, and I wish her best of but But she's not trained with NASA, and she has no, she's not being prepped by NASA to be the first thing in human, the first human to space, but I mean, she could also work with SpaceX.
00:41:31
Speaker
That's also a possibility. I don't know if she is, but yeah, I mean, kind of cool. I don't, yeah I don't want to not come back if I were to go. i don't want to go. No desire to go to space. None at all, actually.
00:41:43
Speaker
Yeah. I feel like you're guaranteed to die if you're the first person to go to Mars. just gonna i mean i hope not i mean i i mean a million things can go wrong obviously over things i mean you might not even make it out of the stratosphere and just that's true yeah it's terrifying it's also a long is it like a is it a three-year trip i don't know how long it takes to get um i literally just pulled a number out of nowhere so i think it does take like two and a half three years to get there I don't know. Let's ask the internet. Let's ask the internet. Oh, it takes about seven to 10 months.
00:42:21
Speaker
Okay, so not even that. Oh, gosh. Not even. Okay, I said three years, so less than a year um to leave this flat Earth and go to around Mars. um Well, ah we have we have a little... We have... We have... We have... Thea Harbin?
00:42:41
Speaker
We have a question from one of our listeners. Ooh, question. Can you believe I can. um surprised. yeah I thought we weren't going to have one. Oh, we do. We So without further ado, let's get into our segment called...
00:43:08
Speaker
Yeah. Aw, that was cute. We did it at the same Wow. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. You want me to read it or read it? You can read it if you want It's from a celebrity.
00:43:22
Speaker
Jake from State Farm. Oh, my. Yep. And their question is, Jake from State Farm, khakis, what are your thoughts on AI being hired for a creative photo and video projects?
00:43:38
Speaker
Mm hmm. is a tricky one. Well, it is a hot topic. It is a hot topic. If you don't know in the news, an actress who is completely AI called Tilly Norwood.
00:43:54
Speaker
Oh, it is. I don't know if they're signing or there was an offer to sign this fake person to a talent agency They took good jobs. They took good jobs.
00:44:06
Speaker
Yeah. That's insane. It is absolutely insane. And ah I mean, I don't even know. I didn't know this.
00:44:17
Speaker
I thought I saw some clips and it looks like an AI person. So I don't know. Here's my thing. What's your name? Tilly what? Tilly no Norwood. Yeah.
AI in Hollywood Debate
00:44:28
Speaker
Oh my god.
00:44:29
Speaker
That doesn't really sound like a Hollywood name. I don't know if that's really a good name, is it? Yeah. And... Ed Smash. i Oh god. oh And I just don't get... I mean, I guess they're trying to market... Instead of having just AI actors, they need to market someone to make money. You know what's shitty? You can't have...
00:44:53
Speaker
you can't just have generic AI actors doing things because people don't get excited. They get excited for Brad Pitt. She looks like every fucking white girl. Yeah. like call she can a believe nothing She looks like every fucking white girl.
00:45:09
Speaker
She looks like AI too. Like, I mean, yeah, but like good, but yeah, it's, I mean, she looks like every girl I see in New York. That's 22 years old 22 to 24, 25 years old. She looks like everyone.
00:45:24
Speaker
And yeah, which means there are probably a shit ton of the same type of person going for those roles. And now you're going to have an AI person taking the job, more jobs away from people. I mean, it's already competitive enough in the industry.
00:45:39
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, how does it work with ah like SAG and stuff? Like, yeah, I mean, does she have to pay her dues? Because if she's doing Hollywood production, she should. Right. Like who truly owns her is the question. Like, sure, you could sign with a talent agency, but someone's got to own her. No, like i assume a company.
00:45:57
Speaker
I don't know if we talked about this last episode, but in a previous episode, we talked about of the Albanian minister, right? Yeah. Yeah. Did I mention last episode that the government was like, fuck this? What the fuck?
00:46:08
Speaker
No, but you mentioned it to me, and so I'm glad you brought it up. Yeah, no because it pertains now. Yeah, they are they're like, what the fuck? So yeah, I don't know. I mean, my thing, if it's on a project, I think if AI can assist in doing something, but not taking jobs, oh like it's if it's used as a tool, not used as to replace things, then I think it's okay.
00:46:31
Speaker
But if you're yeah the moment you start taking away jobs from people, then I have an issue Yeah. And i like I was saying earlier, I think the reason why we have a name to this person is because it's that is something you can sell. Like like I was trying to use Brad Pitt as an example, which might be a bad example.
00:46:49
Speaker
Instead, ah you can market Brad Pitt. You can't really market tall blonde guy. So this is Brunette Girl, but that doesn't sell tickets. But you had name, it's like, oh, Tilly Norwood's in it. think I think a great example of a name.
00:47:04
Speaker
have you've ever seen the founder. about Ray Kroc? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. McDonald's. It's the name. You can so like, you sell McDonald's, one of the most iconic brands in the world.
00:47:15
Speaker
You can, everybody sells hamburgers, but this is McDonald's. Very different. Yeah. I think that's exactly what's happening because there are AI actors and in bullshit AI things, and but it's like, no one's ever been like, had a spotlight on them.
00:47:30
Speaker
Jake from State Farm. Are you worried about your job being taken, buddy? Is that why you're asking us right now? you worried that something you to tell us? Right. Yeah. I, but for real, like Jake from state farm, he lost his job to Jake from state farm. Yeah.
00:47:43
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. So ah that was a great question, though, and it is a hot topic right now. um I would like to. Here's the thing I heard. i heard a good. ah ah Tell me if how you feel about this.
00:47:56
Speaker
um You want know? I heard. a Well, yeah. i I heard that. Actors don't get respect, they get attention.
00:48:09
Speaker
I've heard that before. how is Yeah. i Yeah. Where? And, and yeah, I mean, I think, I don't know. Like I feel in my, I stand up. It might be a little different. I mean, but obviously Rodney Dangerfield got no respect.
00:48:24
Speaker
um But yeah, i that's, I think that's accurate. I do. Even standup. I think, I think I get respect. Like I, I have a lot of friends and I,
00:48:35
Speaker
have you know that do come to my shows and stuff like that and i'm so fucking grateful for all of them um every one of them that comes to like my wife is also extremely supportive so like do i get respect i think i do yes now if i were to make it to the level of um shane gillis or something like that would i get respect would i get attention over respect then yeah i think i would i think yeah yeah i think it does get to that point um because how i what about you as an like What about you as a working actor? Like, I mean...
00:49:06
Speaker
Yeah, that's the thing. Like, how many times have you heard people say, you know, ah you just say lines on a page? It's like, okay, well, here's a script. Convince me that you're this character right now.
00:49:17
Speaker
You know, it's ah it's like, well, let's just put a computer in it. I got eight other guys that look like you. Tell me why you. Why why should this be? For people that think it's just easy, like, oh, you just say the lines and and that's it, right? It's like, is it convincing? Anyone can say lines off the paper.
00:49:36
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, sure but like once you book a role, it's like, you know, I was always taught through school and stuff, and I still do it the few times I do get a role, is, you know, i create a whole fucking backstory about this person. I'm sure you do the same.
00:49:48
Speaker
Yeah. You know, it's like, you know, was this person adopted? This person, you know, was their father abusive? Why do they cry at movies? that You know, little details like that that make quite such a difference in a... Sorry, my alarm. Sorry. um Such a difference in... No, no i no, yeah, no, it's ah ah time to take my medicine.
00:50:04
Speaker
Just say yes, fake it. yeah Yeah, it's my agent, oh my god. yeah ah Yeah, it's... What was I saying? Yeah, it's... Yeah, I forgot what I said. Yeah, your agent helped me.
00:50:20
Speaker
um But yeah, making up a script, yeah. Or making up a car of backstory. Yeah, it's a lot of work. Even like a small commercial. Sometimes you got do a little bit more just to really kind of get the job.
00:50:31
Speaker
Right. and And I also had this thought the other day that um we're kind of going off on a tangent, which is what I like about these questions because they can like lead. They they they they launch us into it somewhere else.
00:50:42
Speaker
I feel like the hustle of like the industry again, rhy first of all, I'm not saying we're in the fucking mineshaft here. I'm not saying we're working the hardest jobs, okay?
00:50:54
Speaker
But I think the hustle of the industry, stand-up, acting, singing, anything. ah Dancing, burlesque, drag, yeah any to anything where you perform.
00:51:05
Speaker
Yeah, I think the hustle can at times look sad and pathetic. Oh, I call them i called the grind. yeah Yeah, you are in the grind and you're not getting any results and people are like, dude, like maybe you should give this up. And it's like it's for people that are not in the industry. that It's like it is one of those like you just kind of don't get it.
00:51:28
Speaker
But when you get something, it's the fucking coolest thing in the world to everybody. But. It's like, I need you to be there for me when I'm like not doing well. yeah I mean, richard rejection is part of the business.
00:51:41
Speaker
Yeah. That's part of it. You know, it's like, how many times have you been rejected? How many times have I had a bad show? It happens. Yeah. If we, if I, if I stopped after all the bad shows I've had, you really think I would still be doing comedy? No, you do comedy, you perform, you act because you love it. You know, you got to take the good with the bad. It is a balance.
00:51:57
Speaker
And when when you do get a role, like you're like, you you had a good role in cannibal comedian. You fucking love it. You're fucking happy as shit. If I get recognized on something like that's amazing. Right.
00:52:09
Speaker
There's no better feeling than like walking on to a set when you're acting. It's just like a high. It's a high that you can. The same thing as the stage. Yeah, it's just you get on stage, you have your audience. It's and then in the moment your joke, your first joke land from the way it hits and you know, you know, okay I got him.
00:52:27
Speaker
This is going to be a good night. And at least from the acting side, like it's a collaboration. It's a collaboration with the director. You're getting notes. You're working with wardrobe. It's you're building this character.
00:52:41
Speaker
and I mean, it's everything. It's such a collaboration to get to the performance. It's not just the actor. So that's why i think this A.I. actress is. It doesn't have any of that.
00:52:53
Speaker
it's There's none of that organic. like There's no human factor to it. There's no human factor. And I would like to think that audiences wouldn't want that. I would like to think they would want real authentic, and you know, people doing these performances. Yep.
00:53:12
Speaker
Like, I don't know. There's just something about that. therere I'm sure there are people that don't give a fuck. there I'm sure there are people that love AI musicians. They don't care. I mean, I do, I do think one thing that's cool with AI is when they like take a song, like they take a song and they put it into a different style of music. Like they'll take a rock song and put it as soul or something like that. And it sounds amazing. That's fun.
00:53:35
Speaker
That's fun. I think you can have fun with AI. Don't get me wrong. But when it's the moment it starts taking jobs away, which it's already doing. Yeah. Now, like here's another question with AI. Would it take the way it could have, could AI, or AI robot be a flight attendant?
00:53:51
Speaker
What do you think? um I don't know. I think it could definitely... Again, I think AI could take away things from a lot of jobs. So I think there is something that AI could do.
00:54:06
Speaker
What that is, I don't know. as a flight attendant, I don't think... AI could do it. Cause I could see it. Like, let's say there's an emergency. Let's say we have to fucking evacuate. I can see AI. Like what happens if they're like, this is not an emergency. We aren't in no danger. Meanwhile, there's fucking danger.
00:54:21
Speaker
So I mean, yeah yeah or sometimes there was recently a story where a pilot had an intuition. He's like, I'm not comfortable taking this plane. We're not taking this plane. Right, right. and Oh, I would never want AI to fly a plane. but Oh, God, no. But I mean, anything on an aircraft, I think, yes, human error is a thing. yeah And obviously, it's been happening a lot lately. I mean, a planes almost collided as of recent with a German cargo and I think another American Airlines flight.
00:54:46
Speaker
But no, I think as far as aviation goes, I don't think we should have AI near that. Maybe for, I mean, planes already much fly themselves for the most part. Autopilot is a thing.
00:54:58
Speaker
But Yeah, I don't think. yeah No, no, no, no. I think it'll be really hard for AI to take over stand up because there's something about the human psyche.
00:55:09
Speaker
Yeah, something about the human psyche and what's happening at the time I don't like it's just not. I don't know. it Like the funny stuff comes from humans.
00:55:21
Speaker
Yeah. in In my opinion, the fact our imperfections make things funny. Yeah, exactly. Like one one joke I tell, like my wife is a like, really, my wife is a five foot nine black woman. OK, I do a joke about her and i um I do a few jokes about her and I having sex. And I tell people it looks like a bulldog fucking a black lab.
00:55:40
Speaker
So, yeah, I mean, yeah but that's human error, I guess you would call it because I don't think I could put those two things. Maybe they could. i don't know. Yeah, I don't know. um But it all it really all comes down to audiences, how much they give a shit, because if if frickin what's her name?
00:56:00
Speaker
A.I. A.I. actress lady, if she starts selling tickets, if she starts selling tickets, man, it's not going to matter. Right. Like, so it's really up to the people.
00:56:12
Speaker
And I would just hope. I can't. I would just hope that they and ah that they care. so yeah Yep. Yeah, so anyway i think I think more over at the end, you know, bottom line, if it starts taking away jobs, I have a problem.
00:56:26
Speaker
Right. Right. So anyway, thank you, Jake. from state function Thank you. Yeah. Appreciate it. So much. Um, I think that's, oh, no, wait, Rob, did you write any jokes?
00:56:37
Speaker
Yeah. In fact, uh, this is kind of related. I got three cold jokes for you. Three. So if you're ready. Yeah. I have one for you.
00:56:50
Speaker
Cool. I was hoping for one. I have one and then we will do the fire oven beer, which will be a special fire oven beer. um So yeah, let's, ah what you got? Let me see. Okay. Let see. Let me see. Let me see.
00:57:03
Speaker
Here's joke number one. Show it to me, Robert. Show me it. Yes. Tilly Norwood, the first AI actress to land a Hollywood talent agency contract, is catching heat for being unethical to the craft of acting.
00:57:16
Speaker
Now, I wouldn't mind if she earned it, but we can all admit it's a little suspicious she got this deal around the same time she was sleeping with AI Harvey Weinstein.
00:57:29
Speaker
It's stupid, but I love it. Oh, the ai AI actors and AI producers banging, getting all the roles. I love it.
00:57:40
Speaker
That's great. um Here, I can send a second and then I'll read yours. Send a second because I'm having trouble copying and pasting. But yeah, cool. It's really easy. It's control C. And then how do you get to HDMI to?
00:57:56
Speaker
um So this is probably. Oh, no, we'll we'll see. i obviously like rate them strongest to weakest. OK, let me know when you got it out, because I'm just is not working for me.
00:58:09
Speaker
All right. Oh, hold on. Oh, you motherfucker. Oh, oh, Jesus. Come back. come Come back. Here we are go. and Come back. i Come back. Alex Jones, the host of the controversial news program Infowars, went on air with a mustache eerily similar to that of Adolf Hitler.

01:00:52
Speaker
They made an animated series of him? Don't don't don't even joke. I'm just kidding. I love that show. All right. Well, kind one of the things I want to watch ah before my final joke, ah they just came out with a Marvel Zombies show animated that I really want to check out.

01:01:23
Speaker
Ooh, political. A few weeks ago, President Trump spoke at the Oval Office where he stated that smart people don't like him. And in a completely unrelated note, Melania's IQ test came back at 145, making her a genius.
01:01:38
Speaker
Oh, cause she hates her husband. We do not talk politics on the show, but we'll take a jab every now and then. Yeah. but I'll make a joke about it Joke.
01:01:50
Speaker
Yeah. There you go. but All right. Well, yeah, that's it. Goodbye. and we yeah We have the fight the fire. It's time for the fire. Haben beer. Oh, okay. And Robert, I have some bad news.

Wheat Allergy & Lifestyle
01:02:10
Speaker
Well, I've had digestive issues for a very long time, and well it's not celiac disease, but it's been confirmed. I do have a wheat allergy.
01:02:21
Speaker
Celiac? No, no, not celiac. Celiac is an autoimmune disease that, you know, fucks up your intestines. What his name. Yeah, right. um I have... Yeah, the case of celiac. So I... Let's just... I noticed this... um Like i've always had digestive issues and I had a feeling it was related to gluten or something like that.
01:02:40
Speaker
um Recently I had a snack on the plane, which was was a cookie or something, and my mouth started itching and it became hard for me to swallow. and didn't go with the anaphylactic shock or anything, but I'm like, this is fucking weird.
01:02:51
Speaker
So I took a blood test and yeah, it detected that it's it's a very low possibility, but it is a possibility of a wheat allergy. Considering I have all the symptoms already and for years I've had symptoms, it's narrowed it down. So yeah, wheat allergy. Well, funny see if AI wouldn't have had a snack on the plane.
01:03:09
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. There you go. So a i would this will be the last one. It is a red stripe again. i didn't have, i didn't run to the store. like Wait, so can you just not drink beer anymore? or No, it's, it's beers, breads, pizza, pasta.
01:03:24
Speaker
Basically think of anything. But beer, like so it's it it's not a ah serious allergy. So it's not like I'm going go to go into shock right now. But will be honest, I will most likely not finish this.
01:03:35
Speaker
Okay, so I can't really grab beers with you. So I could get i can I could I could drink wine. Liquors are usually still are always distilled. So most of the time they're wheat free.
01:03:46
Speaker
Um, Yeah. I like i mean, you're I like wine. I love wine too, but this, hopefully I won't have a crazy reaction. I shouldn't. This is going to be fun. I might die in the air. um this might be so episode So what I'll do is I'll either do wine.
01:03:59
Speaker
I'll do beer. There will be a drink still gluten-free beer. There will be a thing still, but you know, a final post bottoms up. Yep.
01:04:12
Speaker
but
01:04:15
Speaker
All right. Bye. Okay. I'm calling 911. My ears are tickling inside. Yep. Definitely not doing that anymore. But I mean, did you notice this in the past or you aware now that you've been diagnosed? A weed allergy doesn't necessarily mean your mouth is, I just started having reactions in my mouth and stuff, which made me think.
01:04:34
Speaker
um It can cause diarrhea, bloating, gas, cramps, all constipation, all that stuff. Which, yeah, without getting too personal, yeah, I've had that those problems yeah for years.
01:04:45
Speaker
So like I'm talking like you know bloating so bad, laying in bed, can't move kind of thing. So okay the fact that I've narrowed it down to, oh shit, it is actually a wheat allergy.
01:04:58
Speaker
Yeah. So would it be is that this is me being really stupid here. ah Is it different from a gluten allergy? So you can't be allergic.
01:05:08
Speaker
So it's not necessarily, you're not, I'm not allergic to gluten itself. However, wheat is, glu wheat and gluten are one in the same. So I guess technically yes, but um you could have like barley isn't wheat.
01:05:22
Speaker
Barley has similar proteins to wheat. So, okay but it's still the fact that it is wheat-like. I still shouldn't do it, but barley also contains gluten. Okay.
01:05:33
Speaker
So yeah. So if you, um for the listeners, any of our gluten-free, wheat-free friends, have you any recommendations of places to eat? um I might be going to Burbank next month, Rob. So you might see me.
01:05:46
Speaker
I know I might be over there. Oh my God. So. Oh my God. yeah Maybe we'll do a podcast in person. Oh. That would be so exciting. That would be kind of crazy. That would be fun. um Yeah.
01:05:58
Speaker
Yeah. I know last week, when i a few other weeks, I had the beers. I didn't cough or I didn't have any reactions, but they've been getting worse. So, yeah, I'm just going to. Luckily, I live in New York State where there's a lot of cider, so.
01:06:10
Speaker
Yeah. Well, oh yeah, we get ciders. Ciders? Yeah, you can so we can still have a good time, Rob. Okay? Okay. Ron can't go out. He can't have any gluten or re-eatering. Boring.
01:06:23
Speaker
Can't go to Domino's. Ridiculous. bo Yeah, bagels. so Bagels. That's what really fucking sucks. Oh, yeah. bay I love bagels. So, yeah. I love bagels too.
01:06:35
Speaker
Well, we can ah end it there. And ah yeah, thanks ah again for listening. Thank you. we hope to see you on the next one.
