Discussion on Food Nostalgia and Humor
00:01:11
Speaker
Bah humbug. Bah humbug. is there any anything do you I think you just don't like enjoyable things. is that No, no, no. i enjoy i enjoy sex. So that's and pretty and that's enjoyable. um Oh, sex? Boring. I like a nice sandwich every now and then. i enjoy... After sex?
00:01:35
Speaker
Sometimes during, if you're doing it right. Sometimes during. um i enjoy I enjoy nice i a beer. Do you just picture me eating a sandwich during sex?
00:01:47
Speaker
um Because that would be weird. picture you having sex with a sandwich. Is that weird? Factual, maybe? I don't know. A little warm, warm meatball sub? Maybe. Oh, oh my.
00:01:59
Speaker
I am a sucker for, no pun intended. I am a sucker ah for, I'm not really a Subway guy. i I'm not anymore, no. I use, like, yeah Subway, it's, I haven't had Subway in years, to be honest.
00:02:14
Speaker
But my guilty pleasure with Subway is the meatball sub they have. It's just I don't know if it's because I used to eat it as a kid a lot. And I think it's one of those nostalgic foods that it's like, oh, you eat that. It's like, yeah, it's kind of ingrained since childhood. I mean, i to me, a meatball sub or a meatball hero, as we call it New York. I don't know Like the Subway one tastes like the one we grew up with in the cafeteria.
00:02:41
Speaker
That's what that tastes like. Yeah. So maybe that's why You know what I loved in the cafeteria, high school cafeteria, is the squared pizza. Who didn't love the squared pizza?
00:02:52
Speaker
Dude. And when they had you know what but i'll tell you some little pepperoni chunks on it, those was amazing. Yeah. I remember this is in Central High School in Brooksville, Florida. I remember. Yeah. Go Bears. The Bears.
00:03:06
Speaker
I remember there was a day. and This happened a few times where the pizza would get old. And I remember they said the lunch ladies would say, you can either have a fresh slice of pizza or two old ones.
00:03:18
Speaker
And that was. oh Yes. always And my fat ass always took the two old one. Yeah, and because they weren't bad. It was like, what, they were about to expire? So they're with their they their room temperature? Do they self-destruct if we don't eat them?
00:03:33
Speaker
Right, right. I mean, aren't they supposed to, like, last for 20 years something? Maybe. i think they're I think they were made in the 70s and then served in the 90s. I don't you care. I mean, I think it's the same recipe since the 70s. I mean, it's...
00:03:46
Speaker
I don't change. Don't change it. don't not Yeah, exactly. Don't fuck with it. Yeah. I i love I dude. I'm not even joking. You know how they sell like Chuck E. Cheese pizza in the frozen. Yeah. Yeah.
00:03:57
Speaker
Yeah. I bet you anything if they if some company marketed lunch lady pizza and it was that pizza, people would buy especially our generation. I would buy je X millennials. We would lose our shit easily. We would lose our easily.
00:04:13
Speaker
ah they're theyre um they're They're leaving money on the table. And you know what? I don't normally do this with pizza, but that pizza with ranch was actually very good. Oh. Okay? I don't normally do that with pizza. I don't i barely eat pizza anymore now. But yeah. it's ah Really? oh yeah because the Is it because of New York? No, because of the wheat allergy thing that I have. Oh, right. I keep forgetting that. I guess LA, we have the good Mexican food. The best tacos I had were in Redondo Beach.
00:04:42
Speaker
100%. Oh, yeah. Best tacos had on last. Down the street. down this Literally, i walk I can walk there. It's down the street from me. The best mexican Mexican food I've had. And you know it's good because every time I try to order, – they it's hard because they don't know English really well. So I'm like, that's how I know it's good. Absolutely. Because I because i have trouble ordering and I'm like, yeah, that's what I want. A lot of people say that New York's Mexican food sucks. And I'll be honest, that is the one cuisine we are not excelling in.
00:05:14
Speaker
However, yeah if you go find a taco truck under the seven train, I guarantee it's going to hit. I guarantee it's going to. I'm trying to think there's like, It's something like El Rallo Tacos or so I forget the name of it, but it's under the seven train.
00:05:30
Speaker
Fucking I'm going to look it up. I don't care if my cousin likes, hates it when I'm my phone or not. Yeah. I forget. yeah yeah I feel like it's, it's always those places that are like in the corner, you know, like some guy with a stand, you know, that, I mean, food trucks are huge, which I love food trucks, man. But,
00:05:50
Speaker
I get it because I bet it's a lot of like, it's I bet it's expensive just to keep up with it. yeah. I would imagine it's a mobile restaurant. But man, food truck prices are crazy expensive. And there is one that that kind of like i so like, I know what I'm buying, but by at the same time, I'm like, no, fuck that. And that is... ah And it tastes good. So I don't want to like hate on this company, but they were on shark tank. Okay. And it was cousins main lobster. Oh, and they have a restaurant, but they also have food trucks.
00:06:21
Speaker
They charge so much money and I get, I understand it's lobster. Yeah. i mean, I understand it's lobster. Yeah. But holy shit, they put it on like this hot dog bun, which I don't know. Is that how you're supposed to eat lobster? Sometimes, yeah. i mean it's ah It's like that split hot dog bun that you cut down the center. yeah Not like the ones you buy. Like a Nathan's hot dog. Almost. No, it's like the... Yeah, it... No, it's like... Like the ones you buy in the store? In the grocery store. You could do it that way. I mean, i i' i mean I've seen it done that way. As long as the lobster's good, I really don't care.
00:06:51
Speaker
yeah. It's just that I eat it in two bites, so maybe it's a meat problem, but I just can't spend that much money on a... this little dinky lobster roll. Do you ever, do you ever branch out? Do you ever branch out and have like exotic meats? We might think of them as exotic as American. Like what? Like, um, have you ever done like ear or tongue or something like that in a taco?
00:07:10
Speaker
No. So lengua tacos, tongue tacos are fucking phenomenal. Okay. Oh, my wife is like, absolutely not me. You're tasting it and it's tasting delicious.
00:07:21
Speaker
Delicious. Delicious. that Okay. yeah There's a place in San Jose, California. They do a really good, um by the university it's in, it looks like it's in a house kind of thing. They do really good tongue.
00:07:37
Speaker
Oh yeah, dude. There's a, you're going love the name of this. Um, there is a barbecue place, um, in the Valley somewhere. I forget where,
00:07:48
Speaker
um it's called Dr. Hoggly Woggly's Tyler, Texas barbecue. Okay. And it is so good. And it's, it's been around for like years and years and years, but it's clearly a converted like house that was turned into a barbecue place. So I feel like it's like that, like, you know, it's going to be good. Okay. Yeah. yeah that That's maybe, maybe. Oh, there it is. Yeah. mean Victoria Taqueria. Victoria Taqueria. They, I think their tacos are phenomenal.
00:08:14
Speaker
Very good. but And you know why I think like those weird, like locations work is because I bet it's people that they knew how to make tacos like
Urban Experiences: Transit, Vlogging, and Wildlife
00:08:23
Speaker
exceptionally well. This place knew how to do barbecue exceptionally well, but they just couldn't afford the big old, you know,
00:08:29
Speaker
restaurant buildings but so they did with what they could but their food slaps and so i bet that's how it happens that's why you got i i'm always on it especially in new york absolutely always on the lookout hole in the wall those little dinky yeah places as long as they're clean those hole in the wall spots yeah amazing absolutely we have the most authentic food most authentic people yeah absolutely Yeah.
00:08:52
Speaker
Our, our downtown l LA, they have a lot of those places. it's just, I, I, I'm rarely in downtown cause don't want to deal with the parking, but. Spoken like a true Californian. Yeah. wish that we had more subways. Yeah. You guys have a horrible metro system out there.
00:09:10
Speaker
It's like what? It's what? I think i two, three lines, not even like one line. Well, we have a lot of we do have trains above ground. We have like one red line underground, but be I assume because of the earthquakes, they just can't. Maybe i don't know. I mean, yeah I guess that makes sense.
00:09:28
Speaker
I don't know Like Chicago has a great system. yeah Chicago is a great system. The L is phenomenal. okay It's like above ground, which is crazy if you think about Chicago winters. But um it's a great i think I think it's a great transit system. ah Yeah. yeah Best transit I think I've seen is London, for sure. I've heard London's great. best trans ah New York, go anywhere you want in any any time of the day. yeah That's what I love about that.
00:09:56
Speaker
Yeah, i I remember taking ah I was in London and trying to get back to my hotel and tube never used the London transit. And it was so easy. It was like just I like it. I would have had it. It would have been hard to get lost. Boston kind of has a decent subway system.
00:10:13
Speaker
Oh, I want to go to Boston so bad I've never been. Boston has a decent subway system. ah Okay. It closes at a certain hour, which kind of sucks, but it's decent. um Montreal has a good subway system as well.
00:10:26
Speaker
Okay. Let's visit all the subway systems. Yeah, I would fucking do that. I'm kind of a nerd when it comes to trains, so I absolutely would do that. Let's go to the subway, yeah, and then we'll go to the subway and get the meatball sub. ah You've been wanting to do that for a while, haven't you?
00:10:42
Speaker
i know I just like dip into it. It's like I dip into Seinfeld for no reason. No one asked me to. I'm just, don't I'll be like, what's the, I don't know if I, I don't know if I can do my Elmo right now. i've been kind of, but my allergies have been like, yeah do yeah, see, it sounds, it sounds like Elmo's been smoking for four years. words be a cigarette I apologize for my promo videos of me being like kind of a gangster promoting the podcast. That's pretty much just me doing like a Tracy Morgan impression. yeah So, but I love Tracy Morgan. Who doesn't love Tracy Morgan?
00:11:15
Speaker
I love Tracy Morgan. know. I loved, did you see um the the sketch, ah with you know, because they do Black Jeopardy on SNL? Yes. And Keenan hosts. And they had Tracy Morgan playing someone. Eddie Murphy was on, but Eddie Murphy played Tracy Morgan. No, I didn't see that one. Next to Tracy Morgan.
00:11:32
Speaker
Oh, it was so like Eddie Murphy does a good Tracy Morgan because he's like, I like he's like, I like four cheese lasagna. I can't eat just three cheese lasagna. Like obviously Eddie Murphy did it better than me. But it was it was really like and I mean, how how much of an honor is it to have like a legendary comedian doing an impression of you right next to You've made it.
00:11:54
Speaker
You've made it. yeah Yeah. When you're doing it like that, you've absolutely made it. Yeah, like Tracy Morgan, he even looked like, I don't know. It's just, he I mean, it's got to feel good is all. yeah So Alec Baldwin does a good Tracy Morgan because he worked with him on 30 Rock.
00:12:10
Speaker
Oh, to he said that he like walked into his trailer once and Tracy Morgan was just watching like, some kind of Michael Jackson documentary. And he's like, wow, you know, Michael Jackson had power.

um But something that you, because we're going to be talking about a lot of things. We're going to be talking about like, lack of colors and things. We're going to, we're going to talk about some pretentious stuff that I heard last night um and some gym etiquette.
00:12:51
Speaker
But before we get to that, ah you were talking about shoes. Shoes. I know not the actual, exactly.

Oh, it was a different Different time. Comedy gold, though. Comedy gold. i just think yeah I just think it needs to come back. I don't know. I mean, maybe it has. i just... I just really miss it I don't know if I have it.
00:14:18
Speaker
i don't know if I have it in my drawer right now. um I might not have it, but I used that was during the day of when YouTube was When vlogging first came out. When what? Vlogging? Yeah, and vlogging was big. I i had my old flip.
00:14:33
Speaker
I think it was called the flip phone phone. not phone, ah camera. And it was oh was this it was this like it was like the first time we had HD and a camera and all the all the vloggers were using it. And I remember I tried to do vlogging once and um Two bad things happen when I try to be a vlogger.
00:14:52
Speaker
One, I realized how boring my life was at the time. Because every episode was the same. i'm Like, hey, guys, I'm going to work. Hey, guys, I'm coming home from work. Hey, I'm going to bed. Hey, I'm up going to work. But you know what's sad? that's that You know what's sad? People watch that shit now.
00:15:09
Speaker
Yeah. That's what's sad. So you should have stuck with it. You would have an OG influencer going to work. Dude, but this is my job. This is me taking a shit, you know, like,
00:15:21
Speaker
It's your boy. Take your boy. ah I did end up going to a party once um and I've logged and there was this guy there. I didn't even know him. He was so pissed at me because he was like he was either just enrolled in the military or he's going to. I think he might have been in it, but he wasn't allowed to drink.
00:15:42
Speaker
for whatever, I don't know if that's like a military thing, but because I was vlogging, it was showing him drinking and he was like in my face about it. Like, I'm like, well, dude, don't fucking drink. Like, why is this my problem? Yeah. Go fuck yourself.
00:15:56
Speaker
Like, but I was like, I'm not going to get into a fight with a guy cause I'm fucking vlogging. Like, this is so stupid. And now, so and now this is everyday life. Now people are, you know, can't even eat a sandwich without, you know, talking about it. Right.
00:16:09
Speaker
Yeah. And now he ah he's probably an alcoholic punching drywall. Wow. He got pissed. Yeah. Wow. I mean, you know, you know it. Like, I don't know.
00:16:20
Speaker
Like, if it was one thing, it was like, hey, man, I know I'm not supposed to be doing this. Just make sure you don't get me on camera or something. But no, he was pissed. he He went in angry. But ah that also wasn't the reason why I stopped. I just thought it was too boring. ah Fair enough. But I watched a lot of vloggers and I watched the I find it so weird now.
00:16:40
Speaker
But at the time I didn't. I used to watch family vlogs like I used to watch like the i don't know if you knew who the Shaytards are. or it sounds familiar. youtubers um I find family vlogging now really weird. It's weird as fuck now.
00:16:56
Speaker
It's so weird. It's weird as fuck then. Especially when the kids grow older and then they come out and they're like, yeah, i didn't want to do any of that shit, but my parents like made me. I'm like, yeah, now that I know that, I'm like, eh. As long as the kids are happy and healthy and comfortable doing it, fine.
00:17:11
Speaker
Whatever. But you know, the parents get caught up in the money and stuff like that. Kids have no concept of it. So... Yeah, it's I don't know. I'm not I'm not
Nostalgia in Media and Design Trends
00:17:20
Speaker
a fan of the family vlog.
00:17:23
Speaker
Not. I also think it's cringe as fuck. It is. I can't do it. it will I'm sure that if I watch old vlogs that I used to watch, I'm sure it would be terrible. Yes. There's a lot of stuff I watched on YouTube that I just can't get through anymore. Yeah.
00:17:38
Speaker
Yeah. So I mean, I actually, that'd be a good topic. We have a few topics already. we have a lot I would love to, um, I would love to get into like old YouTube at some point and talk about stuff that I loved, but can't watch anymore.
00:17:51
Speaker
Um, things like that. So yeah I don't know either I'm boring or I grew up or no, I don't know, no but <unk> yeah, but yeah,
00:18:02
Speaker
shit Yeah, we'll save that. We'll save that. We'll save. Yeah. Group X. We'll save that. Yeah. Oh, I still say that. I'm 55. Round. Yeah. Let's talk about round. Oh, dude. I say that all the time. I'm always like Hawkeye. So.
00:18:19
Speaker
And it's great when someone recognizes it. and I'm like, you're my friend for life now. yeah I want to save that for another episode because I think we can do a good 30 minutes just on those two videos alone.
00:18:31
Speaker
I'm actually typing it down right now. Okay. um Yeah. So, um um yeah, I did skip one. You could keep talking about shoes. Yeah, I just, thought nothing more than just needs to make a comeback. It was fun. it was creepy. It's kind of sexy at the end with the hula hoops and the girl. And I'm just like, you know what? It needs to come back.
00:18:51
Speaker
But now so ah now a lot of shoes are $300 all the time. So, you know. Let's gets get them. Let's get them. Yeah, that could be the joke. It's like these shoes are $300 on clearance, you know, as a sale. got i really I really hope that he doesn't do a new one.
00:19:10
Speaker
Yeah, so ah I kind of want to talk about the whole guy. So ah I'll just say that the whole K guy did do another one and I could talk about that next time. Okay. ah Okay.
00:19:22
Speaker
I love how this episode is us prepping for the next episode. Yeah, this is our meeting, guys. Yeah, there you go. ah Sorry. um Yeah. So, um but something that you found out, something about raccoons. So, um yeah, so because Which is funny, because there's a morning radio show that I love in l LA called The Woody Show. Okay. And they have a segment called Raccoon News.
00:19:46
Speaker
Then they probably already covered this. But apparently. Maybe. Apparently. raccoons are domesticating.
00:19:56
Speaker
Oh, in u i would love around in urban areas such as Aki, New York, their snouts are getting smaller, which is a sign of domestication.
00:20:09
Speaker
So they that's true. So, yeah. You know, they are getting used to humans over these many, many years. And now they are getting closer to be the snouts, make them look cuter and looking, look more desirable yeah to humans.
00:20:24
Speaker
So, and people already see it online. People have raccoons as pets. So it's already starting. It's kind of like with a foxes, too. I think when foxes are beautiful creatures.
00:20:37
Speaker
Oh, absolutely when I was in Colorado, I was in Colorado for Halloween and we would have and we had like, you know, this this house in the middle of the Colorado woods. And there was a fox that would come up to the screen door every morning. Two of them. And you just we it was like just staring in awe. Yeah. Like they were so like majestic. And like, I also want to cuddle you.
00:21:00
Speaker
but I know you'll probably bite me enough to get a radiation shot, but yeah, they're so gorgeous and also just adorable. They are like a cat and a dog. man Kind of, but they're barks or whatever you want to call it. The sounds that come out of their mouth, least last thing you would expect.
00:21:17
Speaker
i can't even the Fox say, Yeah. kick that duck da guy yeah um That's another video. That was like 10 years ago. I know. i was thinking um But no, like foxes, they sound.
00:21:30
Speaker
It's like a weird. my yeah it's It's weird as fuck when you you go look it up one time. Like foxes. It's just weird. Oh, yeah. Yeah. three Yeah. Yeah. It's something weird like that. It's it's it's.
00:21:43
Speaker
And it's adorable, of course. It's no not. But um mean it's like, I've heard them like yell. like so What are you doing? You're fox. You should sound cuter than that.
00:21:55
Speaker
Damn it. There's an old video, too, from like albino black sheep of just three foxes screaming. And it was the most obnoxious video. But watching it now, it's hilarious. offll to send it to you. Oh, my got you.
00:22:07
Speaker
Anyway, ah man, I'm just writing notes for the next. Next episode, guys, is going to be killer. Yeah, it's going great. um You'll know everything. Yeah, you'll know everything that we love and cherish. everyone's made usish Everything Everything that we love and cherish. What I do love.
00:22:24
Speaker
Tell me what i do love cherish that is now is gone. This is something that I saw online and I was like, wow, that's a really good point. And that is the lack of color in everything today.
00:22:36
Speaker
um things like ah people have been uh there was like a new photo posted of uh the staircase from home alone and how like the ah the original was like wallpaper and it was like really beautiful and like reds and yellows and then today they remodeled it and it's just this like white gray yeah it's uh basic looking it looks clean but that's that's the look people want now if you ever go into like a friend's house like an actual house And there's it's just pretty much white everywhere. There's no color.
00:23:06
Speaker
There's no lot there's nothing. That's why I made the tree rainbow color, because for those of you watching us on YouTube, that's why I did that, because I wanted to add some color to this episode. But not only in houses, but we're talking about I can get into it like restaurants like McDonald's is the big one. It used to be, you know, the red roof. with the yellow stripes on it. Like, look at Pizza Hut.
00:23:31
Speaker
Old school Pizza Hut. Oh my god. Sugar, what do you doing? loved old school Pizza Hut. my catches I saw the door kind of opening. Yeah, it's my cat. And I like, someone's entering. It's my baby. It's coming from inside the house. No, you can't. Oh, no no, not now, okay? Go lay down.
00:23:45
Speaker
maybe ah No, right now. Right now. Sorry, the cat takes... She's looking at like, what are you doing? Why why can't you join? um But yeah, it's just crazy how there is... I mean, I'm wearing black and a Nets logo. Like, that's one thing a lot of people don't like about the Nets logo. The Nets moved to Brooklyn in 2012 from New Jersey, and traditionally their colors were red, white, and blue.
00:24:06
Speaker
I believe they were like the New Jersey Americans or the New York Americans prior to that, people before they came to Nets. And um then they moved to Brooklyn and they did this. Now, I don't mind the black and white, but it's kind of like, where's the character?
00:24:20
Speaker
You know, why where is that? That's what? Yeah. Like, sometimes they do the throwbacks and they're awesome, but it's like, where's the character to this? Like, bring back the color. Yeah. And it's the same thing. with Like, I'll give credit. Go ahead.
00:24:33
Speaker
Oh, I was going to say, i'll I'll give credit to the Mets, because on the color wheel, I believe cyan and orange complement each other, and the Mets are blue and orange. Yeah. So it just is, like, appealing. Well, you know... it Like, I like Yankees, but that's, like, white and blue. But you know what you know where the hat, something in hat. Sure. But do you know where the Mets colors came from?
00:24:53
Speaker
Um... Yeah, of course I do, dude. So the blue comes from... But our audience explained. So, you don't know. Shut up. So the blue the blue comes from the Dodgers.
00:25:07
Speaker
Oh, I have a Dodger hat. and put it away. Fuck the Dodgers. And the, no, I don't want to see your crap hat. No, it represents Brooklyn. No, it die I have a Brooklyn Dodgers hat myself. Yeah, I have a Brooklyn Dodgers hat. It's the Brooklyn Dodgers. And then the logo and the orange come from the Giants.
00:25:25
Speaker
Both those teams were in the National League in New York. So when they made the Mets, they took the colors and the logo and made the Mets. What's also cool is that that also represents the flag of New York City.
00:25:36
Speaker
orange, blue, and white. So yeah. Well, I, um... That's why the Mets are superior. you know i Okay, cool. Good to know. good Fuck your 27 championships. I don't care.
00:25:49
Speaker
fuck your twenty seven championships i don't care Subway series, baby. Oh, love another subway series, like a world series subway series. Last time that happened was 2000. So that would be awesome if we could do it. Yep. then fucking past Yeah. I have a Brooklyn Dodger hat because living in LA, you know, I have it all over. You can get Brooklyn Dodger hats all over the place over there.
00:26:10
Speaker
But, um, I, you know, be being born in Brooklyn. I was like, this is kind of the, I'm repping where I'm at and also still have that New York vibe. So, which by the way, I think I lost my Yankee hat. The one that people loved of me and in those Tracy Morgan videos, um I think it's gone, but that's okay. I'm over it Do you have a favorite baseball team?
00:26:33
Speaker
Yankees. The Yankees are okay. You prefer the Yankees. My favorite. I mean, my, I'm a Tampa Bay Rays fan, but I do feel very passionate about the Mets as well. So yeah, in the event that they play each other, I will cheer for Tampa Bay.
00:26:45
Speaker
Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. Good to know. Not the devil rays. Same team. cause that when Yeah, I know. 2008, they changed their name, they and then they went from last place to first place, and then went into the ah went to the World Series. Well, they lost, but they went, which was crazy.
00:27:03
Speaker
Do you think it had to do with removing devil? Do you think some people think that? Yeah. Some people think the whole, you know, devils and Christianity thing kind of. Yeah. And that's why they won. But you took the devil out. It has nothing do with it.
00:27:14
Speaker
Don't you love it when a baseball team prays while there's like starving children in the world? Like, I hope just God gives us a good baseball. Yeah. I hope we get more home runs. Yeah. I mean, it's, you know. I think we weren't going talk about this. I always find it interesting. Like I'm not against prayer or anything like that. i you know, I don't know if I could consider myself a Christian, but I was raised Christian. I still Christian roots kind of thing. um And there's nothing wrong. I went to a Christian school and I hated it. Did you really?
00:27:40
Speaker
Yeah, i didn I went to Hernando Christian Academy, and it was the worst experience of my schooling life. I understand people get to pray, but they'll pray when they hit a home run, they get a
Color Trends in Society and Sports
00:27:51
Speaker
hit. You know, you see them get to bit they get to base, you know they you know, they do one of these things, thank you, you know, all that stuff all the time. And I'm like, that's cool.
00:27:59
Speaker
But, like, you never see them doing it, like, when they lose something. You never see him in an interview. Like, you know, I think it was like Jameis Winston. Okay. Quarterback for the giants. But I think he was on the Cleveland Browns at the time. He used to be a quarterback for Tampa Bay.
00:28:14
Speaker
They asked him what, you know, what's it like, you know, he's, he's going to play in the snow for the first time. And his interview was just like, just want to thank God that I get to play in real football weather. I get to play in the snow. This is that like, go watch the interview of the any Jameis Winston c clip. It's hilarious, but yeah. That's the only time that I can recall where somebody's thanking God for not a win, not a victory.
00:28:35
Speaker
It's the same thing. Not getting on base, not a touchdown or, you know, whatever you want to call it, but for a, um just for the sake of being there. i thought that was pretty cool. Okay.
00:28:46
Speaker
I guess that's more humbling. um Yeah. But ah yeah. Anyway, I mean, I guess I would be praying to not have my leg broken or something. if i'm yeah In a home plate. Yeah. You know, but I'm like that. I get that. Now you said that you say also like back to lack of call. You say that in Christmas trees as well. What do you mean?
00:29:05
Speaker
Oh, yeah. So ah continuing on. ah Trying to get back on track here. this time I know. I know. We went off on a tangent. I know we did kind of. um When I. what Besides fast food places and houses, there's also a lack of color and like people seem to.
00:29:25
Speaker
I just remember like old photos from the nineties and stuff. Uh, their Christmas trees were like very rainbow. Oh my God. They were very, these lights, but kind of like, yeah, but now it's, now it's people favor the white lights. Cause I think, yeah I think that it, it gives,
00:29:44
Speaker
I think this boring, white, you know, pristine looking gives off higher class. you're you're you're hitting the next You're hitting the nail on the head. Yeah, that's exactly it. White. Yeah. As as with people, they they they make it seem. Not that it is. It's definitely not. They make it white is superior. And that goes from race to furniture to wallpaper to Christmas trees, everything. And yeah, it's kind of fucked up.
00:30:10
Speaker
It really is I also heard an argument. I heard an argument, too, about because you were talking about Pizza Hut structures and me with McDonald's. I heard that there's a easier turnaround if they want to sell it.
00:30:22
Speaker
So it's not like a Pizza Hut building that, you know, i see. Look, that's now like a tax place. So there's that. um Also, giving off like a white pristine look gives off because if you go inside of a Taco Bell,
00:30:36
Speaker
Back in the day, it was like the purple and pinks. Oh, Taco Bell. could give off vibe of... Oh, many colors. Yeah. The colors The colors. It could give off the vibe of... Right, right. I guess it could give off the vibe of lower... Like a lower class feel. So now there's these remodels where they're making McDonald's and Taco Bell look... more pristine inside quote unquote but it's still the same food it's just this illusion of i don't know what class now one percent illuminati decided let's make everything white and basic and all that shit and it sucks it really does because we're all just kind of blah and you feel it as a person i think you're just kind of It's like everything's the same. So you're just blinded by everything. There's no personality. There's no color. Unless you go to cities like San Juan, Puerto Rico, you go to New Orleans, Louisiana, there's color everywhere. You look at the homes and stuff. There's color. There's character.
00:31:29
Speaker
And I miss that. that's right I think that's one reason why I love New Orleans so much is because there's so much color and character there. places in Florida too, like South Florida, especially there's color and it's awesome.
00:31:42
Speaker
And I just miss, yeah we don't have that anymore. And if we can find a way to bring that back, I would appreciate the fuck. And I think we would be happier as people. I really do. i think so too. yeah I'm getting kind of, yeah, we're getting deep into it, but yeah, I think we'd be happier as people. I really do.
00:31:57
Speaker
That's what we do. We get deep into it. That's what our logo says. Yeah. so um It's everything, man. It just sucks. Yeah. Yeah. I think I, I, I like splashes of color in a lot of things. That's why like, even, even for this podcast, these like bright purples and stuff. yeah' I just like, I like that contrast. the Purple was your choice. And I thought that was pretty awesome. I think the purple is really nice and I don't usually do. My wife loves purple, looks fantastic in purple. yeah My favorite color is red. it was just, you know, my favorite, but my favorite color is orange.
00:32:31
Speaker
Okay, cool. ah yeah I kind of just go off of a vibe. it's It's like when I imagined us doing the podcast, for some reason, purple hit me. Well, it's interesting because like you don't see a lot of, at least I don't, a lot of podcast logos that are purple.
00:32:47
Speaker
Yeah. It's usually, yeah, yeah it's, i they're not purple. That's all I know. ah Yeah. Yeah. So I think, yeah, we need to bring more color back.
00:32:58
Speaker
um Yeah. um Even in cars today, too, like someone did. Someone had a graph of like the amount of cars and white, gray and black have been selling the most to the point where like green cars barely even exist anymore. And it's like, why is that? So you I love black cars. I always have.
00:33:17
Speaker
I do too. It does have that sleek look. I do not like white cars. I do not. No. I never have. Never have. Sometimes that matte finish on a black car, like when it comes up with that gray, that looks awesome.
00:33:28
Speaker
Oh yeah. um But I don't know. There was a car on my street as I went to the grocery store today and it had like this teal turquoise type color. And it looked, okay I think it was, I don't know what manufacturer it was, but it was, I was like, that's actually really pretty.
00:33:43
Speaker
And you can always find your car. that way right like i i just rented a car i was in georgia this weekend and i rented a car a black chevy that it was a black chevy because it was like the only suv like option and i didn't want a sedan so but that that's the only reason every other car they had was white gray or black they had like one interesting color i don't remember the color and i'm like no it was just too much but yeah you don't see right right yeah you don't Yeah, you just don't.
Driverless Cars and Public Timekeeping
00:34:15
Speaker
um Yeah, like um there's something I was going to say about the car situation. I thought. um What color is your car? I forgot. Black. as it So, ah yeah, i don't know. Also, black kind of hides dirt.
00:34:31
Speaker
So some people. sure Sure. Yes, I agree. But and i and if I were to get a car, it'd probably be black. um Yeah, because most cars in New York. Black or gray?
00:34:42
Speaker
Yeah. there You look at you looked down a street in New parallel parking, black and gray. And you have... um Because in Hollywood, we have this a lot. now This is kind of like a weird transition, but we have this a lot. Do you have the driverless cars? Have we talked about we have not talked about those, the Waymo's.
00:35:00
Speaker
The Waymo. Waymo. We have a ton of those in Hollywood. They're driving around everywhere. And I have yet to try it, but I want to try it so bad. so they are also So when I lay over in San Francisco, I see them a lot, obviously.
00:35:13
Speaker
i think that's where they first started. um they are yeah They are testing them here in New York. to my knowledge, okay personally, because of how New York is built with, you know, especially if you go downtown, especially you go downtown where it like where it's not a grid and there's old cobblestone roads and stuff. And sometimes you do have to drive on those roads.
00:35:33
Speaker
yeah i I mean, yes, it'll be able to find its way around GPS and all that shit. It'll be able to do that. But there are so many factors in New York City. People, people double parked, um delivery trucks, trash, street sweepers, snow plows, everything. And you don't have that a lot in L.A.
00:35:53
Speaker
and San Francisco. You have that all here. And also you have your emergency vehicles that need to get through. So. Right. and cyclists, there's a lot of cyclists. You know, this isn't, you know, this is a one of the the most walkable cities in America.
00:36:08
Speaker
I think it is the most walkable city in America. So it's going to be a bit of a challenge because I've been hit by, almost been hit by buses, cars, cyclists. i yeah You run into other people. It's, and you think of an autonomous vehicle is going to be able to do that here in New York?
00:36:23
Speaker
ah Maybe, yeah maybe, but you know, a human, if something's in front of it, human goes around, right? a car, those vehicles don't always do that.
00:36:34
Speaker
There was a video a while back there where um yeah two guys stood in front of the in front of the car because they liked the girl inside. And they wouldn't let the car go and the car didn't know to just go around or to call. Now that that could be done, you know, maybe with an upgrade or a new software type thing for the car. But um I don't think it's going to work in New York. I'm probably wrong because I have no knowledge in this other than just seeing what I see.
00:36:57
Speaker
But it's I don't think it's going to work here. But, you know. Yeah, I will give it credit. It does seem to work pretty well. ah The only time is there was one time I was in a rush and I was stuck behind one and they're not slow or anything. No, no, they go to speed limit. Following all the rules. They actually turn very well quickly. It's not.
00:37:16
Speaker
Yeah, they turn really well, but I was able to just like jet around it and I didn't cut it off, but I i was able to jet around it like an asshole. And it wasn't mad at me, you know, so that was kind of nice. yeah There was something I saw. able to get in front of it. There was something I saw online where um somebody reposted it where it said, um you may not let me cut you off, but your Tesla will.
00:37:40
Speaker
Because if you try to cut someone off, the Tesla's automatically going to break. And a lot of other cars have that feature now, too. So you could cut someone off and the Tesla's going to stop and so or slow down or whatever without you doing anything.
00:37:52
Speaker
So, yeah, yeah it's edge I just find that kind of funny. ah But it's the same thing with Waymos. It's a cool feature. It kind of sucks. You're taking jobs away. You're creating new jobs, but you're also taking a lot of jobs from drivers. And New York City definitely needs to work. You know, a lot of people, hard know that hard to get jobs. They go to Uber Eats. They go to Uber itself or at Equivalent. So, yeah, it's I don't know if it's going to work here for a lot of reasons.
00:38:16
Speaker
It might. We also have the little robots. We have in Hollywood. We I guess it's becoming like a second San Francisco. We have the Waymos and we also have little robots that drive around on the sidewalks delivering food. don't know if you've seen. I've seen. I have seen those eyes and stuff and they like blink and stuff. And yeah, it's fucking we're definitely becoming more and more fucking creepy, man.
00:38:40
Speaker
Yeah, we're becoming more like um what you call it. That Pixar movie. Why? Wally. WALL-E, yeah. WALL-E. Yeah, we're becoming more like that. um yeah Also, as we talk further about to this dystopian future that's becoming reality, you know what else I have noticed? Since there's no lack of color, there's also hu no clocks anywhere.
00:39:06
Speaker
You ever notice that? Lack of time. no, no. no good it's like ah It's like a casino in Vegas now, but everywhere. Kind of, yeah. Because Vegas casinos don't show clocks because they don't want you to know how long can gamble. That's jam fair, but like there are no clocks anywhere, I feel like. Yeah, you have like you know London with Big Ben and stuff like that. You have your you know historical landmarks with clocks, but you don't really see clocks anymore.
00:39:30
Speaker
Like, yes, I know we all have phones. We all phones. We all smartwatches. Yes, I get it. But in the event that there was like some big technological wipeout that took everything away for 20 minutes.
00:39:42
Speaker
People going to know what time it is, where they have to be, what they have to do. they're It's or even longer than 20 minutes. You know, even two days, let's say two days. Let's say, that's like two hours. yeah Okay. People are going to have no fucking idea where to go. What time it's. So it's no. Do I think that the 1% Illuminati are probably doing that? Absolutely. It's probably, probably a plan. And I've noticed this maybe about 10, 15 years ago. i'm like, there's no fucking clocks anywhere anymore.
00:40:07
Speaker
It's just weird. Like you walk into grand central, you have that clock. That's still there. Right. It's don't know. It's just fucking weird to me. That's that's that because I also just like the look of clocks as as I don't see them in houses anymore either.
00:40:19
Speaker
Yeah. You know. every Yeah. Yeah. Actually, you know, if I go to a buddy's place, there's no clock. Here's a debate I've heard actually with clocks. um I like hanging up clocks on the walls. Do you think that clocks should be hung in a bathroom?
00:40:35
Speaker
Do you think that's a good design or why not? Okay. why if it if it goes with it If it goes with the theme, why not? Let's say you're trying to do yeah let's say you can trying to do like a sea-ocean type thing, and your clock is like has a thing of a beach in the background. Why not? Yeah.
00:40:51
Speaker
Like every bathroom in Florida is either aqua or pink. what What if, what if you, in the rare event, you do a nineties thing and take a magazine or a book into a bathroom and you left your phone, you're taking a nineties shit is what we call it. Right. We call it a nineties shit now without your phone. And you read the, you read the back of the shampoo box. Yeah. like Or whatever. yeah And you're like, Oh shit, I've been here for 25 minutes. I got to go. I got to catch my train. I got to go to work, whatever.
00:41:14
Speaker
Yeah. Why not? Who said they shouldn't clock in the bathroom? I've heard, I've had this discussion with people before, but I like clocks in the bathroom. I like to know what time it is.
00:41:26
Speaker
So, i mean i that's just me. I have three watches. I have like ah a digital watch that's kind of like 90s-like. Not a smart watch. I do have a smart watch that I use for work. Um...
00:41:37
Speaker
and But it's like an old, original Samsung watch, like the first model that came out like six, seven years ago. And then I have kind of a cool, like they call it a retrograde watch kind of thing where the numbers are kind of different. um And, you know, you just don't see...
00:41:54
Speaker
I like watches a lot. I think I have a pocket watch yeah as well, like a wind-up automatic pocket watch. This watch. This watch is- You shoved up your grandfather's ass. Yeah, actually, no, it was given to me by- This watch. My girlfriend.
00:42:07
Speaker
but now my wife. My girlfriend. She gave me the pocket watch. on our anniversary. It was a nice gift. like it it. was good. My name is Bert. I work at Lumen. Okay, what are you
Nudity in Public and Film
00:42:21
Speaker
doing? You haven't watched Severance. No, no I haven't. It's okay. That's okay. Thank you. ah Christopher Watkins in Severance, he's an old man who doesn't know where he works.
00:42:33
Speaker
Anyway, he's great in it though. Anyway, moving on. Thank you.
00:42:40
Speaker
Thank you. Thank you, everyone. Thank you. um Well, here's another thing, too. um As like if I try to figure out how to transition into this, I'm just going to say it.
00:42:53
Speaker
um I've been. The locker rooms at the gym, totally not. They don't have clocks either. They don't have clocks either there. They don't there. There we go. that's yeah Speaking of other places that don't have clocks, the the men's locker room. um So I've been I've been ah trying to exercise and, you know, I do this. It's a routine. I go there.
00:43:17
Speaker
I shower there. I go to work. That's how kind of it is. But I've developed a system where there is no reason why any man needs to be naked in the men's locker room.
00:43:29
Speaker
There's no reason. So those old guys where everything's hanging out, there's no reason for it. And I'm to tell you my system. Yeah, no, i want to yeah I want to hear this because i am so i I'm a little more European minded, I guess, when it comes to this.
00:43:43
Speaker
Yeah. So I go. mean you traumatized at the YMCA in Spring Hill, Florida? I just, I just don't want it. There's a bunch of strangers. And then what? You're, you're seeing them on the treadmill. It's, don't know. It's just not for me, but I go in after the workout.
00:43:57
Speaker
I get ready for the shower. I get, take everything off except the boxers. I'm a brief sky, just TMI. And fact I, I grabbed the new pair.
00:44:10
Speaker
I have my towel. I wrap it around me too. yeah I even cover up the underwear. I'm like, Hey, maybe no wants to see that either. So I cover it up. I go to the shower, change out of the old one, shower curtain, blocking everything, shower, put dry off in the shower, wear the new pair, put the towel around, get changed. No one has to see it. Is the shower private or is it like a communal type shower thing?
00:44:36
Speaker
Oh, it's a private. I would never do communal. I mean, i would just, if you I just wouldn't, if you're taking your underwear off for one second and then putting a towel around to walk there, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. No, I leave the boxers on. Yeah, I know. I'd say take them off.
00:44:51
Speaker
No. Yeah. I mean, know you're not walking around. You're just, you know, you're still going to cover yourself, but you know, make it a little. Yeah. But when I'm take, when I'm taking it off at the, at the locker, you know, his ass is sticking out. You, Things are, you know, dangling. It's dangling, hitting my knees. you know what i mean? Well, what's dangling? in hair It's hitting your knees.
00:45:12
Speaker
Yeah, the penis. Oh, good for you, buddy. Good for you. um Yeah, thank you. um So i just don't want I just don't want anyone to see that. I have very short laced, by the way. If it's hitting your knees, then maybe you should show it off, Rob. I'm just saying. Maybe you should. But even don't know but even so what so what? Who cares?
00:45:30
Speaker
I mean, I was at a a wrestling meet. I care, Ron. care. I was an i he's at a wrestling meet as a kid. What about me? I was at a wrestling meet as a kid, okay? Guy walked in naked, like, from a shower. And I kid you not.
00:45:42
Speaker
Bah. I may have talked about this before. Bah. Ron is showing his... No, it wasn't me. It was me. I felt so much better about myself. Yeah. I'm telling you. Yeah. He's just showing. It was a true micro. It was a true micro penis. And I'm like, holy these shit. But here's the thing.
00:45:56
Speaker
Here's the thing I am comfortable with when like, if I'm filming something and I got to change wardrobe, I will change into my boxers in front of anybody. Like, I don't know. There's a different vibe. Like, cause I'm sure the same works with theater backstage. You just change. It doesn't matter who's fucking there. You change in a new clothes. I'll never get naked.
00:46:14
Speaker
So what it as I will just take my pants off and change in front of anyone. I don't care with when it comes to like film with nudity, male nudity evolving in film and television and stuff like that. If you saw um House of Guinness, there's male nudity in that.
00:46:28
Speaker
Would you would you do and would you do nudity? Would you do it? So would you have a nude frontal? Not full frontal, just nude. Yeah. um I have been nude. I was in. Go on. If you've ever seen the movie. ah Have you ever seen the movie Neighbors with Seth Rogen?
00:46:46
Speaker
I got naked in that movie. ah Luckily, you can't really see me. We did this thing in Neighbors. this what is the what walk? what Yes. ah Are you in that scene? I am in that scene. Yes, I am. I that was my whole summer was filming that movie Neighbors and it was fucking awesome. But there is a scene in Neighbors where they make all the pledges like yeah walk in a circle. It's a real thing. You're putting your yeah, you're putting your arm through the other guy's legs and grabbing their penis and then you're walking in a circle. see obviously I've heard of it. as like I've heard i've heard it it as a different way, but go on.
00:47:21
Speaker
Okay. So we all had a, what's called a, I mean, in the industry, cock socks and you just put that over. So, ah but I was completely naked except this sock on me. All of us were all the guys were, and we're all just standing.
00:47:34
Speaker
I want to say there was, was there water or something? I don't remember, but, And so luckily we're only grabbing like the sock. You didn't even have to like touch the guy. It just looks like you're doing it. But you and I was like, oh man, my whole bare ass is going to be seen. But if you watch the scene, I'm like in the dark. you I don't know. i just I got lucky. I happen to like be crossing in the darkest area. You can't see shit.
00:47:56
Speaker
But that was ah interesting because, you know, scenes and movies, they take a while to shoot. So it's not like. It took 10 seconds and then we're out. We're there for a while just like that. um But that was still really fun. it was a great memory. So but that's the farthest I'll go. I'll show bare ass in a movie. OK, I just won't do full frontal.
00:48:14
Speaker
You know, unless they get a, double you know, get a double. It's totally normal. They get a double for anything. Yeah, I get I've doubled. I remember I used to work Teen Wolf all the time um and I used to double like like chest, hands, everything for like um Dylan. I forget his name from Teen Wolf. But anyway, ah yeah, so I wouldn't mind. So you would do you would do ad you would do ass when do full frontal.
00:48:44
Speaker
Yeah, I wouldn't do full frontal. Yeah. So. I don't know if I would. because Because here's the thing. probably need a prosthetic. If it's like...
00:48:55
Speaker
if if I'm basically like a non-speaking part and they need a guy to show his, his Wang, wang no, I'm not going to do that. But if here's a great thing is if I'm like a main character and they need me to show my Wang because I'm a main character and I'm like high up, you know, ah in the principal cash, then they would just get a double. So there's like, there's really no, you're not missing out on anything. If you say no, in my opinion. Okay. I don't know. So that's just, don off if i would.
00:49:23
Speaker
Yeah. i don't know I don't think I would. I definitely wouldn't. I definitely wouldn't. Cause I just don't want like, don't know. It's fair. There'd be some mysteries. I think you're, i think, but I think you're naked gym etiquette. i I mean, you do you, what makes you happy? I, it's a bit extreme. I think so. Yeah. Just take off your fucking pants. Yeah.

All right. I'll do it for you. Thank you. And when I'm naked in the locker room, i'm like, no, my friend Ron told me to do this. Why do you? Are there people like just walking around having conversations like you're in men's bathhouse?
00:50:09
Speaker
No, thankfully not. ah Yeah. Yeah. Anytime there's like the like. I mean, I've never really been to one, but like the shared spa, I'm like, I always ask, I'm like, okay, is everyone naked or is it kind of like a bathing suit thing?
00:50:22
Speaker
I just don't want to be naked in front of other people. I mean, you know, you see like, like in never like the god the Godfather, like they're just sitting in a towel at a spa. I think it's the Godfather. It was a mafia movie and they're just sitting the towel in a spa, smoking a cigar, you know, it's why mean, so what?
00:50:36
Speaker
It's just nudity. Who fucking cares? Yeah, I guess so. i just that know right I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying, fuck it. Who cares? um Rock out with your cock out.
00:50:51
Speaker
I'll start exposing myself. Yeah, let's do it. Yeah. um Yeah. ah So over the um Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Day, I watched a movie that we've actually talked about a few
Music and Comedy in Film
00:51:07
Speaker
episodes now. um Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
00:51:10
Speaker
And something that I noticed rewatching it. is the music. I don't know if you remember the music in it, but they kind of go hard with the music. There's like this, like, it just sounds like a DJ's doing it. They have all these beats and they also remix it with like dialogue that Steve Martin says. So they're doing like these bump. And then out of nowhere, you hear Steve Martin. He's like, you're messing with the wrong guy. boom But you but don't bump it. You don't bump And I just don't remember that. And I'm like, whoa, they went hard with the music. The only music i can think of, movie, and I just rewatched it myself, um the getting the taxi scene.
00:51:50
Speaker
Yes. that yeah i think that That was awesome. that That score soundtrack, that was fantastic. I also forgot Kevin Bacon was in it. Where is he in it? He's the guy that he's, he's, cha he's the other guy who gets the cab. Yeah. That's right.
00:52:04
Speaker
Yeah. So, um so I thought that was kind of cool. And then like, it gets really like all the sad scenes with John Candy. I like the music there. I like scores that make me cry. Yeah. That's like, yeah. I don't know why.
00:52:17
Speaker
Um, yeah. And, um, but this kind of gets me into a transition of like, have you ever, I have, have, has there ever been movies that you just love maybe from your childhood and you try to show other people and it just does not work out. Yeah. enjoying it. Yeah. And it's really awkward. So yeah, that's happened me several times. First movie that comes to mind.
00:52:40
Speaker
I showed it to my wife. girlfriend at the time. I think the movie's fucking hilarious. I love it. She's like, yeah I can't get into it. Yeah. Zoolander.
00:52:52
Speaker
Oh, really? Love Zoolander. Her? Not so much. If I say orange mocha frappuccinos, she has no idea what the fuck i'm talking about. You you will know.
00:53:05
Speaker
i know um I've mentioned it before. My friend Brad will know what I'm talking about. But yeah. Yeah. that movie hilarious quotable um you know it's a casserole sheila it'll stay or whatever it is yeah it's it's a great cast um love that movie it's so hot it's so hot right now so i don't like a foamy latte um i'm sorry my liege ah yeah i just i love that fucking movie um yeah she did not like it do you have an example
00:53:40
Speaker
Well, yeah, it didn't really work out with my girlfriend with planes, trains, and automobiles. I'm sorry, what? Barely planes, trains, and automobiles. She didn't like planes, trains, and automobiles? No.
00:53:51
Speaker
And um there was like, it was it was kind of funny because it was a we were watching it and it was like right as the, ah the, um I like me monologue was about to happen.
00:54:03
Speaker
And she started, she started talking about something and I was like, no, not now. No, this is the, this is the, I like me monologue. You can know this is the one time pay it, you know, to, to really watch the movie. And, but of course, if you tell someone to watch this part, you know, anyone, anyone, they're going to,
00:54:19
Speaker
they're just not gonna feel it the way you do it's just not gonna happen it kind has to happen organically but uh yeah it didn't work out but the worst time it ever happened she seems so nice too and just oh i know i know It could be a generational thing. I don't know. ah i can. But here's the thing. I can kind of see it, especially certain scenes. But um John Candy, though, was still making me laugh. Like his dryness, like all that. I was still laughing.
00:54:50
Speaker
I love it when he's in the he's in the car driving and he's um he's doing um singing Ray Charles mess around. And he's like mainly yeah thepa yeah smoking the cigarette. little Mess around.
00:55:01
Speaker
Yeah. And I typically hate scenes like that in movies. Like when like they were doing this. Yeah. There's always a scene. there Well, okay. He did it differently. I actually don't like scenes in movies when, um, when they just start singing a song in the car.
00:55:20
Speaker
Okay. And that's the comedy part of it. Gotcha. Unless it's, unless it's like really, I think Wayne's world did it well. Okay. And after that, everyone started copying it and it's like, then now it's just like a scene of them singing a song. It's not funny.
00:55:33
Speaker
But yeah, John Kennedy, he's not just singing the song. He's being weird. You know, he's yeah he's enjoying life. He's enjoying life. You find out later that he's just the saddest person alive right now. But he's that song just made him happy and he wasn't going to let anything stop him. And it was oh, I'm OK.
00:55:52
Speaker
Yeah. Genuine. Yeah. Yeah. So when when you when you tell me you don't like that movie, I mean, It hurts. that I'm not going say she didn't like it, but didn't. I don't think any laughs were happening. That's okay. Even the scene...
00:56:07
Speaker
Even the scene with like the, I want a fucking car, right fucking now. i was like, this is going to be funny. that's fantastic. Yeah, I love that scene. She, that actress, it's so that actress that was at the rental car thing. I forget her name, but everything she's been in. She's been secretary. She's been that lady at the desk. She's wonderful. I've enjoyed her performances and everything.
00:56:29
Speaker
She's like, happy Thanksgiving. And she has that like Midwestern accent and stuff. Oh dear. i guess She's phenomenal. i forget her name. um enough yeah She's great. Another movie.
00:56:41
Speaker
Somebody told me it's like the greatest comedy. This guy thinks it's one of the best comedies of all time. My friend Anthony, he thinks now, mind you, this movie has a four on rotten tomatoes, a 4% Caddyshack. That's great. Yeah.
00:57:00
Speaker
Caddyshack 2. He thinks it's a great comedy. And I'm going tell him tonight when I see him, I'm like, I mentioned you in my recent episode. he's a great to be fair He's a great guy. he's I've seen it once and it fuck it's awful.
00:57:14
Speaker
caddy First Caddyshack, fantastic. Second Caddyshack, no. Here's the thing. You might not like this. i I'm just going to say it. I don't know if the first Caddyshack holds up anymore.
00:57:27
Speaker
um I know. you know. Because I watched it by myself one day. What did you say? and Yeah. So hear me out. Hear me out. The Roddy Dangerfield scenes, I think, are hilarious if you watch them out of context. But for some reason, when I watched it in the movie, it was it didn't work for me.
00:57:48
Speaker
Oh no. was very strange, but, um, anyway, thank you for listening to the podcast guys. This is our final episode. Um, Robert. I, I'll, maybe I'll give it another try. I mean, it's a different style of movie. It's a different style of comedy than what we're used to nowadays. I mean, you know, Caddyshack versus we'll say Zoolander two completely different style of comedies. Um,
00:58:14
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, we we have we got we've gotten older, we've changed, so maybe I still like the movie. Yeah. um Okay, maybe just it's not the same anymore. Yeah. It's fine, i guess Well, that wasn't my worst experience. ah I had- Oh, what are you doing now?

Yeah. Let's do this.
Listener Engagement and Penetrating Questions
01:01:04
Speaker
Penetrating no tell the penetraing question first. Okay.
01:01:06
Speaker
and Okay. So and if you don't know, yeah you, you know, if you guys don't know ah in our link on our Instagram.com, you can ah send us questions completely anonymous. We really don't know. It's you.
01:01:21
Speaker
oh We just got a second one. Did we really? We just got a second one. Yeah. Wow. Okay. We just, wow. Right in the nick of time. Actually, this was sent while we were recording. Okay. Okay. So we have two penetrating questions, good check but guys, yeah, if you don't know, i try to post it on our stories. The link to the forum is only three questions. It's like, are you over 18?
01:01:42
Speaker
Give us a name real or fake and your question. And that's it. We will not know who you are. So um leah let's ah do this. What do you say, buddy? Let's go.
01:02:02
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, guys, welcome to the segment called penetrating questions. Well, which is a segment where your questions penetrate us. um Not not in that. Yes, actually, yes, in that way that you were thinking. So our first question comes from Alex Morgan. um I don't know if i want to say if it's real or fake name. But anyway, Alex Morgan says, what does SAG-AFTRA, which is the the union for actors, what SAG-AFTRA do with the $600 million dollars in their bank account?
01:02:33
Speaker
um I don't fucking know. i don't know. i don't even know. how How do you know how much is in their bank account? um i do I do have a really good buddy of mine. ah He's a SAG rep in New York. His name Jack Mulcahy, better known ah for...
01:02:49
Speaker
an amazing um video called Rem Lazar, which went viral out of nowhere. And I'm so happy for him because he just woke up one day in this video he did years and years ago, all of a sudden was going viral, but he is a, he's an amazing rep for SAG part of the negotiation team and everything. So I try to see him when he comes to LA. I didn't miss him the last time, but such a great guy.
01:03:12
Speaker
That would be a question for me to ask him. I don't know. i don't know how much is in their bank account. I don't know what they do with it. I don't know. I'm, I don't know. There was one time I went to a SAG press conference. This was like during the strike.
01:03:25
Speaker
And I thought, you know, at the time, ah Fran Drescher was the president. Now it's um Sean Astin is the president. ah Yes. um So I went there. She was there. And I'm thinking I'm just going to sit there and listen to people talk.
01:03:38
Speaker
But I get there and there is like it was such an actors meeting. It was like. all this catering, not catering, but like all these sandwiches, coffee drinks, like all this, like stuff laid out. I'm like, Whoa, Whoa, what the hell is this? This is like, nice. I just came here to listen to people do a Q and a about the strike. And I didn't know I was getting dinner tonight. So that was kind of cool. So I don't know, maybe they're spending it on food. I really don't know, uh, too. I try to keep up to date with, with sag stuff just cause I am a member. I know that SAG approved verticals now. don't know if you know what verticals are. oh I've heard the term. Refresh my memory, please. Oh, I think so. So verticals are these like these like um kind of soap opera. They're shot. versusly Yes. Yes. OK.
01:04:31
Speaker
And they were non-union for a long time. And as far as I know, you don't get it. You would have gotten in trouble if you were a SAG member doing them because I don't think they were under any jurisdiction or anything. OK. But now they are SAG or they're allowed to be. So, but anyway, I don't know what they do with any money.
01:04:47
Speaker
I don't work for the guild. That's not for answer. um But um so we did get, i did get another one. Yeah. i was trying to do some research on it. I mean, I'm going to, and I see where can read it. i got it. I got it.
01:05:00
Speaker
It's from Timmy. Cool. Tamar. Tamar. There is a new diet out there, and it's called the squirrel diet. I heard it's better than Ozempic. Overall, it's better for you because it's nuts.
01:05:13
Speaker

01:05:21
Speaker
but la Oh, man. um That was great. However, I did try to look up if there was any type of squirrel diet out there. um No.
01:05:33
Speaker
Basically, a squirrel diet is a plant-based diet, essentially. yeah like what What a squirrel actually consumes? It's a plant-based diet. I understand this is a joke. Thank you, Timmy. was funny. Thank you, Timmy.
01:05:44
Speaker

01:09:28
Speaker
So here we go. Vince Offer, better known as the ShamWow Guy, has announced he is running for Congress in Texas with a goal of destroying wokeism. I actually did read about that. He asked how he feels about his Republican Party. He smiled at his reporters and said, don't worry, you're going to love my nuts.
01:09:48
Speaker
ah ah Something I learned about him, I didn't realize he, I thought he was just a spokesman. He invented the ShamWow. Did you know that? No, I didn't.
01:10:01
Speaker
I thought he was just like another Billy Mays or something, but I think that was his invention. Didn't he do the slap chop as well? Yeah, that that's where he's like, you're going to love my nuts. And then he like slaps the slap chop.
01:10:13
Speaker
You're not going to have a boring life anymore. No. um And then he apparently made one of the worst comedies of all time, I guess. oh Some like indie film. Yeah. I never saw it. Yeah, no, I looked, I looked them up recently and I went down a rabbit hole and yeah. Yeah.
01:10:28
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's... He's running for Congress. I mean, destroying wokeism. Like... What does that even mean? Yeah, what does that even mean?

Speaker
Sure. um Who is that? Look at New York. i can't remember his name. You always have weird. oh did you have like. Yeah, there's a there's a celebrity. Yeah, there's some celebrities. why kadi I ran for president.
01:11:15
Speaker
He actually got votes. Oh, he did. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You would have to write it in, though. Yeah, I think in in some states he have been on the ballot in some states. But he still got votes, which is crazy.
01:11:28
Speaker
right Yeah, yeah. People did ah do that. some people I think some people, should certain people should stay out of politics because like, i I don't want to, hear I don't give a fuck what you have to say.
01:11:39
Speaker
you're an You're an entertainer. I don't, and I'm not talking about Trump. I'm not. um Right, right, right. But I'd like to stay like him. Ben Soffer. What are you doing? you're You're bored. You're not doing infomercials. you're going to run for Congress. Okay. Best of luck to you.
01:11:53
Speaker
Best of luck to you. Yeah, i think he I think he might be a a little bit bored. um Who was the guy that he came in second place after Ruben Stutter in American Idol? Clay Aiken.
01:12:05
Speaker
Clay Aiken. Okay, yeah. He ran for something, too. i don't think he won. um Yeah, it is interesting. I think, like, um man, I can't think of anything. I think i think any ah one name professional entertainer that became mayor.
01:12:21
Speaker
Here's a cool story. Uh-huh. Glenn Jacobs. You may know him as Kane from the WWE. Kane, are you familiar The Undertaker's brother? don't know. The Big Red Machine.
01:12:36
Speaker
I don't know wrestling that well. You'll know him, I swear. I swear you will. Okay. if You look him up. He had the red mask and everything. Look him up, goddammit. Okay. he he's He's a Republican, ah but he... um he's run, he's been reelected as mayor of Knox County, Tennessee for a few times now.
01:12:52
Speaker
So yeah. So he's actually done something with it. No, he's not. And he's, I like that. He doesn't, he may be in the future because he's got some traction with his political office, but I like how he didn't just go for, cut you know, Congress, you know, why don't you start out you start at the state level, you know, local, local areas, work your way up.
01:13:08
Speaker
Right. Local municipalities. Like Gallagher run for some kind of political. I think so. i think so. don't know. It's just, it's always interesting. Yeah, it's always interesting. I know people wanted The Rock to run for president.
01:13:22
Speaker
I mean, people want Jon Stewart. Why? Because Jumanji made Yeah, I know, right? People want Jon Stewart to run for president. Yeah, i think I could kind of see that, though. could see Jon Stewart running for president, but then I think of the movie, um that Robin Williams movie, where... Oh, what's the name of it?
01:13:38
Speaker
Oh, God. Oh, God, it's going kill me. I love that movie. I'm gonna look it up. Bicentennial Man? No, you stunad. No. Um... Robin Williams. running for president? Yes, he runs for president.
01:13:52
Speaker
What's the name of Man of the year. Fuck my life. Man of the year. Sorry. Oh, okay. He runs. Yeah, he's he's like a Jon Stewart type guy. He has a talk show, comedy, he talks about politics. Someone gets up in the audience and goes, why don't you run for president? And he's like, and he laughs and then people actually get on board with it And he's like, wait, could I? So he runs as the independent candidate and wins. But there's a glitch in the system. Uh-oh.
01:14:15
Speaker
Which made him win. Oh. So, yeah. He wasn't really meant to be president. Okay. um But it was interesting because he did have a lot of genuine, like, good ideas.
01:14:26
Speaker
And to run as an independent candidate. I mean, you know, kind of breaking the whole two-party system down thing. It's a very good movie. little little Little dark, but it was Laura Linney's in it. She's phenomenal. Very good movie. Check. I don't mind the dark Robin Williams movies, like One Hour
Politics and Celebrity Crossover
01:14:40
Speaker
Photo and stuff. One Hour Photo, yeah.
01:14:42
