Speaker 1:
[00:00] Why have I asked my HVAC guy I found on angie.com to change my grandpa's trachea tube? Because I was so amazed by how quickly he replaced our air ducts. I knew I could trust him to change Pop Pop's tube while I was on vacation.

Speaker 1:
[00:44] Maybe there's no catch.

Speaker 2:
[00:45] That's exactly what a catch would want me to think.

Speaker 7:
[00:48] Wow, you need to relax.

[00:49] I need a knock on wood. Do we have wood?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 8:
[03:28] Hold on. We'll get into that.

Speaker 5:
[03:30] I'm doing that this weekend.

Speaker 8:
[03:31] Does that conflict with this? What is it? The Northern what?

Speaker 5:
[03:35] North Iowa.

Speaker 8:
[03:36] Is that conflict with the South Iowa Comedy Festival at all?

Speaker 5:
[03:40] Why are you such a dickhead?

Speaker 8:
[03:41] Or no? I mean, just call it the Iowa Comedy Festival, right?

Speaker 5:
[03:45] Oh, I got my spot at the comedy store on the way here, and I was just easily added it to my website.

Speaker 8:
[03:52] Look at that. Let's see how easy it is. Oh, wow. He did it on the way here. Look at that.

Speaker 5:
[03:56] Just did it on the way here.

Speaker 8:
[03:57] It's amazing. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[03:59] You're selling tickets and it's not even on the website.

Speaker 8:
[04:02] I know. I know. I know. I know. So this is good, though.

Speaker 5:
[04:06] You know what? I like how clean shaving Brendan looks right now. Huh?

Speaker 8:
[04:11] Is it? Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[04:12] You clean up good, man.

Speaker 8:
[04:13] Maybe a day. Maybe a day.

Speaker 4:
[04:14] You look like you're 26. I gotta go shoot that commercial, bud. I gotta shoot that commercial tomorrow. Oh, yeah. You still haven't told us what it is.

Speaker 8:
[04:19] I know you can't say it on here, but...

Speaker 4:
[04:20] I know. I'll tell you off here.

Speaker 8:
[04:22] What is... But wait, so you got a guest star thing?

Speaker 5:
[04:25] Yeah, baby. I'm gonna be on the paper, baby.

Speaker 8:
[04:28] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool.

Speaker 2:
[04:31] That's a big show, yeah?

Speaker 8:
[04:32] Season two?

Speaker 5:
[04:33] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[04:33] I guess, yeah.

Speaker 2:
[04:34] Yeah.

Speaker 1:
[04:34] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[04:35] On Peacock.

Speaker 4:
[04:35] That makes sense, though. That's gonna be dope.

Speaker 1:
[04:37] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[04:38] Anyway, you know, daddy's working.

Speaker 8:
[04:40] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[04:40] Trying to.

Speaker 4:
[04:41] You guys gotta watch that show from Season 5 or 4?

Speaker 8:
[04:45] I fell off that show.

Speaker 5:
[04:46] If it's Season 5, then I'm out, because I haven't watched. You're not starting Season 1.

Speaker 8:
[04:50] I fell off that show.

Speaker 4:
[04:51] No, that's the gift, Eric. I love when someone's like, dude, have you seen?

Speaker 5:
[04:55] That's true.

Speaker 4:
[04:55] And there's four episodes, or four seasons? I'm like, fuck, now I got something to binge.

Speaker 5:
[04:59] I totally get you, but there's like 10 shows before that one that I should probably start that I haven't.

Speaker 4:
[05:05] Oh, disagree.

Speaker 8:
[05:06] Yeah, disgusting. And to be fair.

Speaker 5:
[05:07] Sorry about that.

Speaker 8:
[05:08] Yeah, no, it's just completely uncalled for. To be fair. I just came out of nowhere. To be fair, K-Pop Demon Hunter is still on his list and he didn't get to it yet.

Speaker 5:
[05:21] I haven't got to that. You're so right. Yeah. Okay, here's something that happened. I got to tell you guys, I want to know if this happened to you guys because you guys are veteran parents.

Speaker 8:
[05:28] Try to do it without burping. Go ahead. Okay.

Speaker 5:
[05:29] Should I fart now?

Speaker 4:
[05:30] Or farting.

Speaker 8:
[05:30] Well, you've burped twice already and it's totally uncalled for, so go ahead.

Speaker 5:
[05:33] So I'm in the guest room with Wolf, okay? We're just chilling because I'm on my computer and he comes in, he's just laying in the bed with me, then Rachel comes in and we're just all having a little family moment.

Speaker 8:
[05:44] Sounds like a dream.

Speaker 5:
[05:45] Rachel's like, I want to take a shower by myself. I go, go ahead, go ahead. I watch him.

Speaker 8:
[05:50] Easy going. You're easy going.

Speaker 5:
[05:51] I'm easy going. So she leaves. Immediately Wolf starts crying, close to his nap time. He starts crying and he runs after her immediately. So I go, hey, baby. So then, all right, he's gone, all right? He's just with, I assume he's with her, okay?

Speaker 4:
[06:09] That's where he fucked up.

Speaker 5:
[06:10] That's where he up.

Speaker 6:
[06:11] Keep going.

Speaker 5:
[06:11] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[06:13] Go ahead.

Speaker 6:
[06:14] All right.

Speaker 5:
[06:15] But then she turns on in his room the TV, because that's what we do sometimes. We just turn the TV and he just goes in there by himself. He's playing with his dinosaurs and he's there. So food comes. We had ordered food. The doorbell rings. I go, all right. I go downstairs, get the food and I go, you know what? I'll eat and then I'll take care, you know? Yeah. But then it's nap time. Usually, she just sleeps with him. It's nap time. So I eat. I'm chilling. Then I say, okay, I guess they're done. I go in my room and I start my game stream.

Speaker 8:
[06:46] Okay.

Speaker 4:
[06:46] It's all about Eric so far.

Speaker 5:
[06:48] It is. 30 minutes go by.

Speaker 8:
[06:49] I'm not sure if we're supposed to be on your side right now.

Speaker 5:
[06:51] I'm not even asking you to be on my side.

Speaker 4:
[06:53] I'll tell you right now, I'm not, but keep going.

Speaker 5:
[06:57] I'm not either. So I'm gaming and then Rachel comes storming in the room. Now, I see her face. You know when you see your wife's face and you know, oh man, I messed up. I'm messed up.

Speaker 6:
[07:09] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[07:10] She comes and she goes, what are you doing?

Speaker 5:
[07:12] She's like, Wolf's just sitting in his room.

Speaker 6:
[07:16] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[07:16] I'm so on her side on this. I'm so on Rachel's side.

Speaker 5:
[07:19] She's like, Wolf's just sitting in his room and he's got the huge pee diaper and he's just sitting there.

Speaker 8:
[07:24] Oh, bad dad.

Speaker 4:
[07:26] You're playing fucking Fortnite.

Speaker 5:
[07:27] I was like this, I was like, but-

Speaker 4:
[07:29] Babe, I got Fortnite.

Speaker 5:
[07:31] No, but the point was though is like, I just needed a little bit of like, hey, this was a miscue on both our parts.

Speaker 8:
[07:39] Yeah, a little bit. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[07:40] I mean, it was the first time it was just like, wow, look at this, our little independent baby just-

Speaker 8:
[07:47] Well, yeah, he's an adult now, I guess.

Speaker 4:
[07:51] I'm surprised you didn't ask him to get the food at the door. So I yelled, damn wolf, food. And then I'm playing my video games.

Speaker 8:
[07:57] Set the table, Wolf.

Speaker 5:
[07:58] But it was just one of those things where it's just kinda like, you know, when he left with her.

Speaker 8:
[08:05] Yeah, I mean, I get that.

Speaker 5:
[08:06] You know what I mean?

Speaker 3:
[08:07] Well, here's the real thing, though.

Speaker 4:
[08:08] But she didn't take him. That's where he fucked up at.

Speaker 5:
[08:11] Oh, but she did.

Speaker 4:
[08:11] You assumed that he ran and was good.

Speaker 5:
[08:13] No, no, but she did take him because she's telling me how when we're going through it, like, babe, what happened? She's like, well, I put him in his room and I turned on the TV. You were supposed to-

Speaker 6:
[08:22] Oh.

Speaker 5:
[08:24] Thank you.

Speaker 4:
[08:25] All right, Rachel, you fucked up.

Speaker 8:
[08:27] Here's the real thing about this whole thing.

Speaker 4:
[08:29] Because she tagged in. She tagged in. When she took him, she tagged in.

Speaker 8:
[08:33] But I have the whole, I have the thing that makes it a situation or possibly a situation. So when she came down and got and had that face, then what happened? You said, oh, fuck, I messed up or what? How did this go down? And then how did she react to it? And for how long afterwards was she pissed off?

Speaker 4:
[08:57] Oh, still going.

Speaker 5:
[08:58] This is why we're always on the same page.

Speaker 8:
[09:00] Right, right, right, right. Because I've been, I get it. This is what, this is the thing, because if she was mad for too long and you were like, oh, I'm sorry, my bad. That's annoying.

Speaker 4:
[09:11] That's it.

Speaker 8:
[09:12] That's too much.

Speaker 4:
[09:13] Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 5:
[09:14] Well, yes. Because I was just merely saying, I was like, well, he...

Speaker 8:
[09:19] Yeah, I fucked up.

Speaker 5:
[09:20] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I thought he was with you. And then, you know, usually you nap at this time, you know? And then it was like, no! It was like a whole thing about, I put him in his room, you should have seen him. And but then, see, what happened was she went into our master bedroom and she closed all the doors. So she's in the bath, lounging. So I was like, my thing was like, we both kind of dropped the ball here. Right, yeah.

Speaker 8:
[09:42] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[09:43] You know? And then, of course, it was like, you know.

Speaker 8:
[09:46] A while after.

Speaker 5:
[09:46] But you know what? To Rachel's credit, she always says to me, I told you this a long time ago, it's always your fault.

Speaker 8:
[09:52] What?

Speaker 5:
[09:53] She says this. She says, I told you a long time ago, it's always going to be your fault.

Speaker 8:
[09:57] That's fine. Yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 4:
[09:59] I hate when people do that. No, but that's fine. Happy live, happy live, shut up.

Speaker 8:
[10:02] I think it's cute.

Speaker 5:
[10:03] No, no, but I'm saying it's like, but the subtext of that is, she's saying, I know sometimes I mess up, but I'm going to blame you.

Speaker 8:
[10:11] Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4:
[10:12] Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 5:
[10:13] So I go, I go, okay.

Speaker 8:
[10:15] I like that.

Speaker 5:
[10:15] But there is a certain, okay, but here's the thing though.

Speaker 8:
[10:17] I mean, it's annoying, but if you're going to.

Speaker 4:
[10:19] Yeah, I don't like that.

Speaker 5:
[10:20] Here's the thing, here's the thing.

Speaker 8:
[10:21] You know that about yourself is a little bad.

Speaker 5:
[10:22] Yes, yes. In the midst of the like, uh-oh, this is going too long, and this is like, you know, at a certain point, you have to just go, uh-oh, all right, you know, my bad.

Speaker 4:
[10:32] But my thing is, my thing is, we all make mistakes, but if I apologize, the clock resets, baby. The pitch count resets. At least. I apologize, and we gotta move on.

Speaker 8:
[10:41] At least in a timely matter, yeah.

Speaker 4:
[10:45] You got five minutes, you got five minutes, and we gotta move on. You got five minutes, you move on, bitch.

Speaker 8:
[10:50] No, that's not gonna be good. That's not gonna be good for your relationship.

Speaker 4:
[10:53] Well, that's the motto I live by.

Speaker 8:
[10:54] I'm sorry. You've got five minutes, bitch. Get it all out and then make me a sandwich.

Speaker 4:
[11:04] Yes. Yes.

Speaker 5:
[11:07] If it worked like that, I mean, it's never gonna work like that.

Speaker 8:
[11:10] Well, you can thank feminism.

Speaker 4:
[11:12] But do you guys stay mad? I don't know any guy who stays mad.

Speaker 8:
[11:16] No, no, no, no. No, guys, no.

Speaker 4:
[11:19] I throw interceptions left and right. I'm like, whatever, on to the next play.

Speaker 5:
[11:22] My bad. No, I just feel like, especially if you know your partner, at a certain point, you're just kind of like, oh, okay. Oh, this is gonna be one of these things. Sometimes I just-

Speaker 4:
[11:31] Yeah, I hate how you say partner. I hate when people say partner.

Speaker 8:
[11:34] Yeah, same. Did you say that?

Speaker 4:
[11:35] It's such an LA gay thing. I don't like that either.

Speaker 9:
[11:38] Yeah, I hate that.

Speaker 4:
[11:39] My girl, my girl.

Speaker 5:
[11:40] You're in a partnership with this person.

Speaker 8:
[11:43] Oh, gay. Okay, I understand. It is kind of gay in a lot of ways.

Speaker 4:
[11:47] It's gay.

Speaker 8:
[11:48] What you're doing is you're exacerbating, you're running with your own agenda when he says partner because that's not how he means it.

Speaker 5:
[11:55] Thank you. Thank you.

Speaker 8:
[11:56] You got out of that one. Dude.

Speaker 4:
[11:58] No, you're not, no, you're not. You're using the word partner. It's just gay behavior.

Speaker 5:
[12:03] But the way you say, the way you say my girl is the same way you would say my truck.

Speaker 8:
[12:09] Very much.

Speaker 5:
[12:09] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[12:10] Yeah. I own both.

Speaker 5:
[12:12] There we go. There it is. There it is.

Speaker 4:
[12:14] I'm just, I'm just, I'm just shitting with you. I'm just, partner is just such a passive.

Speaker 5:
[12:20] It is.

Speaker 8:
[12:20] It is. It is.

Speaker 5:
[12:21] What? You're with him now?

Speaker 4:
[12:24] I don't think. If I sent out the text and I was like, yo, boys, you want to go to dinner tonight with our girls? And Erik goes, let me check with my partner.

Speaker 8:
[12:32] First of all, that's not what he did though.

Speaker 5:
[12:35] That's different. That is totally different.

Speaker 4:
[12:38] But that's gay, right?

Speaker 8:
[12:39] Yeah, he gets uninvited.

Speaker 4:
[12:42] I just can't go now? No, I'd respond, oh, never mind, Eric, Chris, you still in?

Speaker 8:
[12:47] Chris, I'll side text you.

Speaker 5:
[12:50] Side text?

Speaker 8:
[12:50] It's different. I think if you're referring to the fact that, A, we're partners here, then that's okay.

Speaker 5:
[12:57] That's exactly what that was.

Speaker 8:
[12:58] Which is what he was doing.

Speaker 6:
[12:59] Thank you.

Speaker 8:
[13:00] But if you're like, well, I'll have to check with my partner, then you're just fucking, that's a guy and you're gay.

Speaker 6:
[13:05] Or we have a law firm.

Speaker 8:
[13:07] Right, right, right, right. Or you're in business together.

Speaker 4:
[13:09] Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 5:
[13:11] Are we not partners right now, guys?

Speaker 8:
[13:13] This is Griffin and Griffin.

Speaker 5:
[13:15] Huh?

Speaker 3:
[13:15] Yeah, we're partners.

Speaker 5:
[13:17] Are we not, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3:
[13:18] I want to hear what Mr. No, you're my girl.

Speaker 5:
[13:21] Are we partners, Brendan? What are we right now?

Speaker 4:
[13:23] No, we're not partners, because I don't own you guys. We're friends that talk.

Speaker 8:
[13:28] That's not even what partners are.

Speaker 5:
[13:32] Look, I caught him in a mind trap. He has no to do.

Speaker 4:
[14:28] Nick's all, you don't own me.

Speaker 5:
[14:29] You're so wishy washy today.

Speaker 8:
[14:31] Yeah, no, you know what I am, I'm open-minded, man. I'm just open-minded. I'm just, I'm not wishy washy. I'm just, I'm gonna try to look. I woke up today and I was just, you know, someday, and it's happening less and less recently. I woke up anxious today and in a mood that was going, hey, we're gonna take over today. And I go, and I go, no, I can't do that, no. And I'm in the shower and I'm like trying to think about, I'm literally trying to actively think about things that make me happy. I'm like, so good, come on, I got a great life, it's great. I got my kids, my wife, good buds. And I'm like, come on, man. And I'm really trying to turn it around. And so I think I got it. But when you wake up with one of those moods, dude, it's always just like, you know what it's like? It's like being horny, and you're just like, you can't rub it out though, you know what I mean? You cannot rub it out.

Speaker 4:
[15:30] Yeah, you just gotta stay with it.

Speaker 8:
[15:31] You gotta stay with it. So it's like walking around with a fucking emotional boner all day.

Speaker 4:
[15:36] But when I know I'm having, when I wake up on a bad day, I'll just go, it's one of those days, okay?

Speaker 5:
[15:41] Yeah, I know.

Speaker 8:
[15:41] Here we go, Bubba.

Speaker 4:
[15:42] We just gotta get through today, be cool.

Speaker 8:
[15:44] I get that, but it just sucks that like, sometimes it lasts a fucking day, dude.

Speaker 5:
[15:50] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[15:51] So it's like, I need the release, and the release is, just fucking let me yell at somebody and take it there. Just let me yell at somebody and snap. We snap, but I don't snap.

Speaker 5:
[16:04] Yeah, you don't snap.

Speaker 8:
[16:05] I don't snap.

Speaker 4:
[16:05] You need to snap. What if you work out? If you work out, does it get rid of those sad demons?

Speaker 8:
[16:11] But sometimes, you know, like I couldn't do it this morning, so I got to do it later, but yeah.

Speaker 4:
[16:14] Well, that's your fault.

Speaker 8:
[16:15] Well, snap on him.

Speaker 4:
[16:19] Come on, partner.

Speaker 8:
[16:20] It actually isn't, because somebody needed to watch, watch the kids, so, so.

Speaker 4:
[16:27] Isn't your gym at home?

Speaker 5:
[16:29] No way, in the main.

Speaker 8:
[16:30] Yeah, but I don't want to do that because I do progressive overload, but.

Speaker 5:
[16:32] You know what I'm saying? And the other problem is, is like the person you want to snap on, you can't. No, no, not want. The easiest person to snap on that just pokes, you know? You can't.

Speaker 4:
[16:44] Yeah. Who do you guys snap on most? Who's like your crash test dummy?

Speaker 5:
[16:49] Oh, you were about to say, according to my wife, it's her.

Speaker 4:
[16:53] Well, because you're around them, so it's like, man, you're guilty, but you're just so close. You're in close proximity.

Speaker 5:
[16:58] I gotta snap.

Speaker 8:
[16:59] This week, my wife said, it really hurts my feelings. It hurts my feelings that you said you finally understand my vision for the for the Wizard House. I said I had to read it nine times. I was like, oh, man, I was like, I get that's only a compliment.

Speaker 10:
[17:17] It hurts that at one point you did.

Speaker 8:
[17:19] I guess that's what it was. Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[17:21] You doubted her, I guess.

Speaker 8:
[17:22] That's like saying, but that's a knock on me. I don't know how to see that shit. I can't picture it. I'm an idiot. I told her that, but that's like saying like, oh, yeah, you look great.

Speaker 3:
[17:36] Did you lose weight?

Speaker 8:
[17:37] What?

Speaker 3:
[17:37] I used to be fat?

Speaker 8:
[17:38] Like what the?

Speaker 5:
[17:39] Yeah, that's exactly.

Speaker 8:
[17:42] But you can say that to people, right?

Speaker 3:
[17:44] You look great.

Speaker 8:
[17:45] Did you lose a lot of weight? No.

Speaker 5:
[17:47] Yeah, you can say that. If the person you know already was trying to lose weight, then you can now acknowledge, in the conversation is, hey, great job on all the weight loss you did, that journey you went on. It was a little better that way. And now you look, and you're going like this.

Speaker 4:
[18:04] Erik, god damn it, don't say journey.

Speaker 5:
[18:05] Now it's working.

Speaker 8:
[18:06] Yes.

Speaker 5:
[18:06] Now it's working.

Speaker 4:
[18:07] Yeah, don't say journey.

Speaker 8:
[18:08] No, yeah, I think you say journey if you really want to get, like if you want to be, he's obviously been talking to Claude too much. Like Claude would be like, this is how you say this. No!

Speaker 4:
[18:15] Yeah, this is a therapist.

Speaker 5:
[18:16] I've always been like this.

Speaker 9:
[18:17] Remember just Steve Harvey?

Speaker 7:
[18:19] Yeah, yeah, yeah, true, true, true.

Speaker 5:
[18:20] So what I'm saying is like that, so that's what that is.

Speaker 4:
[18:23] I acknowledge your journey.

Speaker 5:
[18:24] You shortened that conversation in your head. You had all that subtext.

Speaker 2:
[18:28] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[18:29] And you said, hey, you look great. Have you lost weight?

Speaker 2:
[18:32] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[18:33] The person, their subtext is like, whoa, you thought I was a big fat cow.

Speaker 2:
[18:40] Right.

Speaker 5:
[18:40] And now, and wow, you know, why didn't you say anything before? And like, man, I really feel terrible about myself.

Speaker 4:
[18:47] You know what it is? You know what all this comes down to is our delivery. I think because we talked to each other. My whole thing is delivery. And now that I'm a football coach, buddy, I gotta change my delivery. I trust too much. I was getting my hair cut today. This dad comes in and he's like, yo, I signed my son up. I hear you're the coach. Have you seen him play quarterback? I said, I have not, but our quarterback is the best 10-year-old I've ever seen. So your son's got to play a different position, right? If he wants to play. And he goes, well, we don't know till we see him. I go, no, I know. But you can't, as a coach, you can't talk like that. You gotta be like, well, we'll figure out in camp. You know, it's gonna be open competition. It's not. It's not.

Speaker 5:
[19:22] I'll tell you what, I used to coach. And like, the one thing I found is that you cannot treat everyone the same because they are different. I mean, it's like, I know it sounds like, there's one kid that you could say, your mama should have never had you with this defense you're playing.

Speaker 10:
[19:43] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[19:44] All right, there's kids you can say that to. And I know the kids you can say that to. There's kids that like, they're self motivated. The kids you can push. You can push them. And then there's other kids you have to coddle. You know, and it's just, you have to know the difference. But I mean, part of it is, and that's part of being, now the other part of it is like dealing with parents. I mean, dealing with parents. It's funny because I used to talk about this on stage a long time ago, but it was like, I always found that the moms and dads, they had a different, there's a different way. Because some dads, they think their kid is Michael Jordan. And they think their kid is like, so you have to like, the way you do that is you have to, somehow, the kid has to go in, fail, then you look over in the stands like this.

Speaker 10:
[20:29] Oh wow, yeah. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4:
[20:32] Oh no, I did that in flag football. This mom, her kid, it is what it is, was the worst player in the team. She goes, why isn't Jimmy quarterback? I go, because Jimmy can't throw the ball. She goes, I disagree. I went, you know what? We're up. I'm like, you know what? I will have Jimmy start the third quarter. If he does well, then I'll leave him in. If not, I'm going to pull him out so you can see. She goes, that seems fair. I'm like, you're good with that? She goes, yeah. I put him in. He does fucking terrible. He's in for four plays. I look over, I go, we're good? Are we good?

Speaker 5:
[21:03] That's hilarious. You're going to get into a lot. That is such a tough spot to be in. It's such a tough spot because... What are you doing? Give me one. Everybody is selfish about their own kid.

Speaker 4:
[21:19] Yeah, they have the dad goggles. I'll never forget that that ump during the game who goes, dad goggles, blue goggles. Blue goggles always wins. Like you're hoping for the best. You're always seeing the best. I have no skin in the game. I'm calling it fair. I call it like I see it. Dad goggles, blue goggles.

Speaker 5:
[21:40] Yeah, man, it's tough.

Speaker 8:
[21:41] I don't...

Speaker 5:
[21:41] But moms would be like... But see, the thing about a mom will come and say, how come my kid is not playing? And you're like, well, you know, there's...

Speaker 8:
[21:48] Life's not fair, bitch.

Speaker 5:
[21:49] A lot of good kids and you know, and then they'd be like, well, it was $75 for the team shoe. You know, that's like the mentality of some... You know what I mean? It's like everybody deserves to play type of thing. It's like, that's not what we're doing here.

Speaker 8:
[22:02] $75 for the team shoe, great. He could wear it in the class.

Speaker 5:
[22:05] Well, you know what though?

Speaker 4:
[22:06] You know, you'll see as you keep going, there's like, so that everybody plays, everyone has to play a certain amount of downs, everyone has to play in the infield, everyone has to bat. That's wreck ball.

Speaker 8:
[22:16] That's not what we're doing.

Speaker 4:
[22:18] What we're doing is these are travel teams that we kids are playing. So your kid might not play. So if you want him to play, go somewhere else. It's very, it's tough.

Speaker 5:
[23:53] I'll never forget this. There was a kid that came to me years later. We graduated, and we were just talking. He says, hey man, he goes, why did you put me on the team? I said, I mean the other kids, everybody was like, come on coach, you got to put him. He said to me this to me, he said, when you put me on the team, I felt like I deserve to be on the team, and I should get playing time because I was now on the team.

Speaker 4:
[24:23] Oh no buddy.

Speaker 5:
[24:24] But no, but I learned, in that moment I said, I'll never do that again.

Speaker 8:
[24:29] Yep.

Speaker 5:
[24:30] I'll never do that again. I'd rather be, false hope. I'd rather be hated, and then this kid tried to prove to me that he's good enough, than to just be like, oh, because, that didn't help, you know what I mean?

Speaker 8:
[24:46] Yeah, and that person grew up to be Ted Kaczynski.

Speaker 5:
[24:50] No, but I've been like that even for myself. I always, you create villains in your life, or anytime people tell you you can't do something, I mean, I've always been like that even for myself. So, I just think that's a better way, but not everybody agrees with that, because they're all about the, everybody's got wreck ball mentality.

Speaker 8:
[25:10] But is this a comedy podcast, or is it an inspirational podcast? I don't know.

Speaker 3:
[25:16] Is this on a partner, partner, partner, partner, partner?

Speaker 5:
[25:20] If you look at her category, this guy who doesn't like sports and like, okay. Go ahead, do a bit.

Speaker 4:
[25:25] Chris, you gotta get your game in sports, man.

Speaker 8:
[25:27] No, no, no, no, no, no. You gotta do it.

Speaker 3:
[25:29] But it's not even about sports, it's about is it a self-help podcast?

Speaker 8:
[25:35] Is this question? And that's just a question.

Speaker 3:
[25:37] Or is it under comedy?

Speaker 5:
[25:39] Now when I- Editor, editor, I want you to zoom back in the podcast right now, to the point where this guy was talking about, you know, I woke up for 30 seconds and I was just feeling like, boom, I had an emotional boner, which is funny, and I was feeling a certain way.

Speaker 3:
[25:54] I'm not forbidding to alleviate that thing with the Ted Kaczynski joke, but no, dude.

Speaker 4:
[25:58] No, no, no, no, no, it is a five-minute rant on your mental health, and we entertained it. I'm sorry, is this the Theo Von podcast?

Speaker 5:
[26:07] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[26:07] Is Theo Von here?

Speaker 3:
[26:08] That is crazy.

Speaker 5:
[26:09] And sometimes they don't hit, man.

Speaker 8:
[26:11] No, no, no, there's no hitting. There's no hitting or not hitting.

Speaker 4:
[26:13] No, no, no, the Kaczynski joke didn't hit.

Speaker 3:
[26:15] I'm fully prepared to, oh, but excuse me. And Erik gave you a fake laugh.

Speaker 4:
[26:19] Erik gave you a fake laugh.

Speaker 5:
[26:20] It was, excuse me.

Speaker 3:
[26:22] You went, ha, I shouldn't have done that. I should have tried and throw in some brevity. When you're sitting here, Mr. Tony Robbins at. When you're sitting here, Mr. Tony Robbins at.

Speaker 8:
[26:32] Brevity, levity.

Speaker 10:
[26:32] Levity.

Speaker 8:
[26:33] Brevity too, same thing, right?

Speaker 10:
[26:35] Brevity is brief, levity is to make it lighter.

Speaker 3:
[26:38] Oh, levity, right?

Speaker 7:
[26:39] Wow.

Speaker 8:
[26:39] What did I say?

Speaker 5:
[26:40] Even Nick has to come in and correct you.

Speaker 8:
[26:43] Thank God it changed what the fuck was going on, though.

Speaker 4:
[26:46] I know what's going on. Chris woke up, he was saying how he's a sad panda when he woke up and now he's trying to put it on us. Listen, partner, listen, partner.

Speaker 5:
[26:54] Don't put your bullshit on us.

Speaker 4:
[26:55] The buck stops here.

Speaker 5:
[26:56] Don't project your nonsense onto us.

Speaker 4:
[26:58] We're having a great conversation about sports.

Speaker 5:
[27:01] And you come put a monkey wrench in it?

Speaker 8:
[27:03] Brevity was for your sports talk then.

Speaker 3:
[27:06] Put some brevity in your fucking sports talk.

Speaker 5:
[27:12] All right. What do you want to talk about, Chris?

Speaker 8:
[27:14] I would like to talk about fucking, I don't know, like pants or something, you know?

Speaker 3:
[27:21] Go ahead. Just.

Speaker 5:
[27:22] Go ahead.

Speaker 3:
[27:23] Tell us about pants.

Speaker 8:
[27:24] I don't know, man.

Speaker 3:
[27:25] It's like. Go ahead. It was it was skinny jeans for a while.

Speaker 8:
[27:29] And then it was big, big baggy pants.

Speaker 4:
[27:32] And I saw my friend middle and I saw the middle ground.

Speaker 3:
[27:34] It's a middle ground because I saw my friend two days ago with really skinny jeans on.

Speaker 8:
[27:39] And and and it was in Sacramento. And I was like, this is not really the thing anymore. But is it is it a Sacramento thing or did he just kind of not get it?

Speaker 4:
[27:49] It's it's everything. Yeah, because I wore tight jeans there and we're in.

Speaker 3:
[27:54] And we're in.

Speaker 4:
[27:56] Dude, no, Chris, this is a good point, because I went to the rodeo with my family. My jeans, when I put them on, I was a little tight, but they work with the cowboy boots. I'm a rock on. Right. And then some guy, my DM goes, bro, saw you at the rodeo little. He goes, he goes, he goes. And it's like a cowboy goes, little tip. You can't wear tighter jeans in your girl.

Speaker 3:
[28:16] Oh, see, I talk about the fucking current status of the world. There's little getting a DM for this. Yeah. So the guy. So, you know, discuss. Go ahead.

Speaker 8:
[28:29] I think it's a part of me.

Speaker 3:
[28:31] And what I think is and what I think is.

Speaker 4:
[28:33] But Eric, Eric doesn't go with the trends. Eric rocks the same pants no matter what, which I respect. You and I go with the trends. If you look at tight, skinny jeans, they're out.

Speaker 9:
[28:43] No, no, no.

Speaker 4:
[28:44] We were saying we're respected.

Speaker 3:
[28:45] We respect it.

Speaker 9:
[28:46] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8:
[28:47] I do think that if you were going to, if you were going to, because you know, you look at the jean trend now and it's more of a bootleg, it's not a flare.

Speaker 4:
[28:56] Cargo jean, yep.

Speaker 3:
[28:57] It's not a tapered look. This is the look to where you need, if you wanted staying power, if you wanted to be accepted for the long term, you needed a boot cut. So why don't we just stop here? But we won't, but we won't. It'll flare and come back, it'll flare and come back. And we'll always see more.

Speaker 4:
[29:15] You know why Chris? It's because the fashion needs money. So if everyone's like, all right, I just need one pair of jeans, this is a style for the rest of my life, then they don't make money. So then New York sets a trend, or England sets the trend, and then skinny jeans will be back in. Why'd you pull up that picture? My jeans were so tight, nobody said anything.

Speaker 8:
[29:34] But you didn't realize it, but that's okay.

Speaker 3:
[29:35] So you don't... Oh, that's Brendan.

Speaker 5:
[29:37] I was about to say, who's that? Who's that baddie on the right?

Speaker 8:
[29:41] So, so this is, so what, so, so let's just get this. So what did we learn, Brendan, right here from this picture? What did we learn then?

Speaker 4:
[29:49] Not to wear those anymore.

Speaker 8:
[29:51] Okay.

Speaker 3:
[29:51] Period or with the boots or?

Speaker 5:
[29:53] Yeah, period, period, period.

Speaker 8:
[29:56] Because in 2019...

Speaker 5:
[29:57] Well, I'm just wondering about the...

Speaker 4:
[29:59] Your boy was spicy. 2019, your boy was spicy.

Speaker 8:
[30:01] Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dick Suc City right here.

Speaker 5:
[30:03] But you're wearing high heels and skinny jeans, so...

Speaker 4:
[30:06] Buddy, those are cowboy boots.

Speaker 3:
[30:08] In 2019, Dick Suc City.

Speaker 8:
[30:11] In 2019, Dick Suc City right here.

Speaker 5:
[30:13] Are they heels? Are you ready to go to the club? This looks kind of clubby to me.

Speaker 8:
[30:17] So, yeah, you need a boot cut. Yeah, you need a boot cut.

Speaker 5:
[30:20] So now we take a poll.

Speaker 4:
[30:22] Some cowboy called me out. Some cowboy called me out.

Speaker 8:
[30:24] All right. Fine.

Speaker 5:
[30:25] So now at this moment right now in the podcast, in the comments, I want you to... We'll have a poll up. Inspirational conversation or pants? Which one?

Speaker 4:
[30:37] But it's not fair to say inspirational. Me and Erik weren't given inspiration. We were talking about cutting six-year-olds from a football team.

Speaker 8:
[30:45] I know. Inspirational is the wrong word. You're right. Boring is more what we should call it. So do you like boring stuff or stuff about pants? That's the poll. Pant talk? Hey, welcome to Pant Talk.

Speaker 5:
[31:03] No, how dare you frame it that way? You can't just say...

Speaker 4:
[31:08] You know why, though? Because Chris can't add to the kid sports conversation.

Speaker 5:
[31:14] Wait, wait, wait.

Speaker 4:
[31:14] That's so true.

Speaker 5:
[31:15] Anytime Chris can't add anything or actually personally relate to it, he shuts it down.

Speaker 8:
[31:22] Yeah, and that's what congratulations is. That's what the fucking podcast is.

Speaker 4:
[31:26] That's why you do your own.

Speaker 5:
[31:27] Well, that's why. Yeah, that's why it's a solo podcast.

Speaker 8:
[31:29] So good.

Speaker 5:
[31:30] It's two hours of solo hair. Even the different characters in your head fight with each other.

Speaker 8:
[31:33] Yeah, yeah. Dude, the fucking last episode is fucking great.

Speaker 5:
[31:38] Oh, here we go.

Speaker 8:
[31:39] It's just me.

Speaker 4:
[31:40] Our boy Chris is crazy. Chris is a little crazy, and I love it. I love it, but you're on the spectrum.

Speaker 8:
[31:44] I am fucking really crazy, though, if I think about it.

Speaker 4:
[31:47] No, as they say, you're my partner on the spectrum. If we were dating, I'd say, that's my partner. He's on the spectrum.

Speaker 8:
[31:54] Yeah, I don't know. I should get tested again. I should get tested again.

Speaker 4:
[31:59] You don't need to, though. For what?

Speaker 8:
[32:02] Just to know.

Speaker 4:
[32:02] You have it, Bubba.

Speaker 8:
[32:03] Just to put myself into a category. Guys that have autism. So I could be like one of those chick comics. Guys, I just got diagnosed. I'm autistic. Fucking hourglass figure tits.

Speaker 4:
[32:15] You broke so many more gigs.

Speaker 8:
[32:16] I just got done sucking someone off. Not autistic.

Speaker 3:
[32:21] I live in a mansion.

Speaker 8:
[32:22] Just get your back blown out.

Speaker 3:
[32:23] Got rope shots to your back.

Speaker 8:
[32:25] Not autistic question.

Speaker 3:
[32:27] Fucking God damn it. Back is covered with rope barbells. Get the fuck out of here.

Speaker 4:
[32:35] Why do you say bags? Why do you say bags blown out?

Speaker 5:
[32:41] You know what?

Speaker 3:
[32:41] Fucking rope barbells. Just fucking trying to hit your titties. Fuck out of here. So, guys, I just got back from the doctors. I'm autistic. Fucking dodging rope barbells like the fucking Matrix, dude. You fucking asshole. You're autistic. Nobody with autism is dodging as many rope barbells as fucking you while you sit in your fucking mansion. God damn it, these chicks with your hourglass figure.

Speaker 5:
[33:10] Episode title, Ropey Barbells.

Speaker 3:
[33:13] I mean, it's just so annoying, dude. Every other.

Speaker 4:
[33:15] Who the calls you a ropey barbell?

Speaker 5:
[33:17] Can I catch you a question if you keep you going on this bit? What's up? What's up? Is there any hot people with autism?

Speaker 4:
[33:23] No, dude.

Speaker 3:
[33:24] You get over it.

Speaker 5:
[33:25] Does it come with that, though?

Speaker 3:
[33:27] You go. You go.

Speaker 5:
[33:27] I'm starting to think about it.

Speaker 3:
[33:28] Because nobody's hot when they're younger. When they're younger, they're autistic and they're, you know, doing and then they go, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. Oh, fuck all that. Marv is on the way, dude.

Speaker 8:
[33:43] Yeah, that's up.

Speaker 4:
[33:45] There's no all that.

Speaker 3:
[33:49] Once you start sucking, you forget how autistic you are. And you know what?

Speaker 5:
[33:52] Or you're probably better at it.

Speaker 8:
[33:54] Right.

Speaker 3:
[33:54] Or you're better at it, which in which case you still live in a great mansion. You can forget about being fucking autistic because you've got an awesome couch.

Speaker 8:
[34:00] You know what I mean? And it's comedy, you know, it's comedy. So like you can get mad at me for saying all that shit, but it's comedy. That's why we're not in the inspirational podcast comedy. We're not in the inspirational podcast section. We're in the comedy.

Speaker 4:
[34:13] No one tried to make this inspirational podcast, man.

Speaker 5:
[34:16] This is about helping people with autism.

Speaker 4:
[34:20] You know what it is? It's truth bombs.

Speaker 5:
[34:22] You just set them back.

Speaker 7:
[34:23] Yeah, it's true.

Speaker 8:
[34:24] It's just, you know, that you know, the fucking, you remember in what's the lion heart, ThunderCats, Braveheart, ThunderCats, the fucking.

Speaker 4:
[34:34] Oh, yeah.

Speaker 8:
[34:35] The the cat person that had the fucking and threw it and it would catch your legs and fall. That's like fucking jizz to when it's fucking coming at you in the rope barbell way. And it fucking catches you in your tits. And then you forget you're autistic and that's it. And that's that. There you go.

Speaker 5:
[34:54] Well, you're going to, that's.

Speaker 8:
[34:55] No, no, no, that's not it. That's a toy.

Speaker 5:
[34:56] But that's, I mean, you know, right?

Speaker 8:
[34:58] Or lioness. That's his daughter or something.

Speaker 5:
[35:01] Oh, God. Wow, you really followed.

Speaker 8:
[35:03] Oh, dude, ThunderCats was the shit, bro.

Speaker 5:
[35:05] I love ThunderCats.

Speaker 8:
[35:05] But wait, they had, he was like a teal. He had a teal suit. It's like a cheetah. Chitara, maybe? No, Chitara was the woman.

Speaker 4:
[35:14] Aren't they doing the ThunderCat movie?

Speaker 8:
[35:16] Lionel, Lionel. Oh, okay, Lionel. Wait, that's not Lionel.

Speaker 4:
[35:19] There's a ThunderCat movie coming out, I think.

Speaker 8:
[35:20] You're right, you're right. That's not, is that Lionel? That's a tiger. Tigra.

Speaker 3:
[35:23] Tigra, yes, Tigra. No, no, no, that's it with the bolo thing.

Speaker 8:
[35:28] That's the jizz curing autism. Right there, right there. I'm gonna say nobody has autistic, which is why I don't think I am.

Speaker 5:
[35:38] You could be.

Speaker 4:
[35:40] I think you'd be surprised, Bob. I think you got a splash of it. My splash, I mean a fucking gallon.

Speaker 5:
[35:45] Yeah, but my thing is like, what does it matter if it's not holding.

Speaker 8:
[35:48] It doesn't matter, you know, people like the category stuff.

Speaker 5:
[35:50] No, no, no, no, but I'm saying it's like, the only when it matters is if it stops you from being able to do stuff.

Speaker 8:
[35:57] Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course, yes. You know what I mean? If you're really deep in it and you can't do stuff, then.

Speaker 5:
[36:03] What's up, guys? Also, let's talk about found. You know, when you're like, I'm incorporated, so when you're a small business on your own, you know, it's hard to worry about the bookkeeping, the finances and taking care of all this stuff. But if you're a small business owner, they'll tell you finances get messy quick. A bank account here, quick books there, taxed and invoicing apps tracked on top. Before long, right, you're buried in expensive tools behind books and unsure where your business really stands.

Speaker 8:
[36:33] That's why there's found. It eliminates the clutter by giving you one platform that handles it all, banking. They've automated things like tracking expenses, finding write-offs and budgeting for tax time. You can even send invoices for free and pay your contractors. Everything all from one app. It's amazing. Founders are imagining what business banking should be by putting your bookkeeping, invoicing, and tax tools directly into your business checking account. Look, this is good because it finds, it automatically tracks expenses, which means that I don't have to carve out time every week, which I could have spent on something more important.

Speaker 5:
[37:11] Yeah, there's also-

Speaker 8:
[37:11] To go through my purchases to make sure everything is accounted for. This is what Found does.

Speaker 5:
[37:16] There's also so many different apps you have to worry about, bank accounts, bookkeeping, invoicing, taxes. All that stuff is mind-blowing and it's too hard to deal with.

Speaker 8:
[37:26] Tax season is stressful. Tax season stresses you out.

Speaker 5:
[37:29] Very stressful.

Speaker 8:
[37:31] It estimates your taxes. It finds what you should be putting away. It makes it a lot easier.

Speaker 5:
[37:38] Taxes stress everybody out. Found is here to make it less stressful. I use this and you should too. If I could go back to when I was starting my business, Found would have helped me tremendously. I basically replaced three apps with Found and I don't miss the stress at all. I've never felt more control of my business finances.

Speaker 8:
[38:00] Take back control of your business today. Open a Found account for free at found.com. That's found.com. Found is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by Lead Bank member FDIC. Join the hundreds of thousands who have already streamlined their finances with Found.

Speaker 5:
[38:20] Well, it's like I watch this 90 day. I love all the 90 day fiance ones. There's one where the guy is autistic. He's been living. He's been in this relationship with this girl for seven years. He finally goes to the Philippines to meet her. But then his mom goes with him and the mom's like, you can't even work. You can't even hold the job. But everything you see about him on the show, I go, this guy can work. This guy can work. Yeah. What's going on? He's just lazy. There's something, I guess there's debilitating. When it becomes debilitating or close to it, then you go, well, what are you talking about? Because I know a lot of people who are autistic, who are thriving.

Speaker 8:
[38:54] Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 5:
[38:54] You know what I mean? So it's like, whatever your thing is.

Speaker 8:
[38:57] Yeah, you can figure it out.

Speaker 5:
[38:58] It can be OCD, whatever your thing is. At what point does it become, oh, I can't function anymore. That's when, you know.

Speaker 8:
[39:06] Right. Yeah, totally.

Speaker 5:
[39:08] Even like Tourette's or whatever, like that one show with the girl.

Speaker 8:
[39:11] Yeah, she made a whole fucking show of it. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[39:14] She's successful.

Speaker 4:
[39:15] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[39:17] But I mean, you know, it's like when that guy.

Speaker 4:
[39:19] It's Braylon Out Loud or some shit.

Speaker 5:
[39:21] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8:
[39:23] Braylon?

Speaker 5:
[39:23] Bailey, I think it is. Bailey. Oh, Bailey, my bad, my bad.

Speaker 4:
[39:26] No, Braylon's her brother.

Speaker 8:
[39:27] She's hilarious.

Speaker 5:
[39:28] There's another girl who followed her. So when you get into that algorithm, this other girl, like, it's funny because she's like really attractive and she's on Instagram doing her thing, but she's just kind of like, wow, you know. So that's who.

Speaker 8:
[39:43] Oh, yeah, I've seen her, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[39:44] You know what I mean? Dark haired girl.

Speaker 8:
[39:46] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[39:46] So you just kind of go like, what? This is what? When does it stop you? You know, I think that anything, whatever, autism, you know, whatever your thing is, you know, you can you fight it.

Speaker 8:
[39:58] I think I'd love to be with a woman that has fucking Tourette syndrome, man. I think I'd love it. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[40:04] And that's until you're on a plane.

Speaker 8:
[40:06] Nah, fuck it, dude. I don't give a shit. Bro, I'm so confident. Like, if my if my chick was just next to me and yelled out, you know, chank or something, bleep it out, I guess. But like, you know, and you're just at Kmart. So you know they're there.

Speaker 3:
[40:21] You just fucking you.

Speaker 8:
[40:23] You know, she has Tourette syndrome.

Speaker 5:
[40:25] But that's what the mom does in this show. They went on a flight and at the airport and she goes, what? She's just learned what you have to do. You just have to have blissful ignorance. You just have to like ignore it.

Speaker 8:
[40:36] Hell, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[40:37] Just let her do her thing, because what are you supposed to do? I've been at the airport and I saw that.

Speaker 8:
[40:40] It's tough for kids though.

Speaker 5:
[40:41] But I saw her, but she's this, I'm talking about she was this age, but I remember being at the airport one time.

Speaker 8:
[40:46] No, I know, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[40:47] And there was a kid who was clearly, something was up with him and he just was running, roaming around and I could see the dad was just exasperated and he just said, just leave him, just leave him. And the kid was just doing this thing and I was just like, wow, that's...

Speaker 8:
[41:02] It's sad, but it's funny too. It depends on what mood you're in, but it's sad, yeah. I mean, you know, it's like, you know, I mean, you can't, you can't be like, okay, it's not funny, this little kid is running around yelling fucking, you know, whatever the hell he's yelling.

Speaker 5:
[41:16] Yeah. Well, I mean, you're in the mood you woke up in today with your Tourette's wife.

Speaker 8:
[41:22] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[41:23] So now you go to Coffee Bean like you normally would.

Speaker 8:
[41:27] Does she have text, does she text me Tourette stuff too? Oh, bitch.

Speaker 5:
[41:34] The three dots.

Speaker 8:
[41:36] Oh, no. She's having an episode. Bitch.

Speaker 5:
[41:40] I mean, it's like that's challenging to your life. You have to always be that. So what happens when you're not that? And then, yeah, then it happens.

Speaker 8:
[41:50] Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a very good question. Yeah, because, yeah, I think I might. I think so I have OCD, like, and it's not mild. It's I'm on medication, so that's good. But like, Jesus Christ, yeah, you knew that.

Speaker 5:
[42:07] No, not.

Speaker 2:
[42:16] I mean, I mean, yeah, dude, it's like, man.

Speaker 8:
[42:18] Jesus Christ, you got six months.

Speaker 5:
[42:21] You don't want him at a funeral either, like somebody's like saying, he's like, ah.

Speaker 4:
[42:24] Bro, your OCD is so bad, you're on fucking meds, bubba.

Speaker 8:
[42:27] Yeah, but that's, you know, it's every, daily, you know.

Speaker 4:
[42:30] Hey, can you send some to me? My girl's OCD with cleaning is driving me nuts. Yeah, my wife is always like, I wish you had the cleaning one.

Speaker 8:
[42:34] I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, my wife is always like, I wish you had the cleaning one. I do not have the cleaning one.

Speaker 4:
[42:38] Oh, dude, my girl has a cleaned one so bad.

Speaker 8:
[42:41] That's kind of annoying, yeah. But, but that, Oh, boy. But yeah, no, I have, I started taking Prozac and it's shit fucking.

Speaker 4:
[42:50] And what's it do for you? Like your OCD is one, I know you like count fucking doorknobs and shit.

Speaker 8:
[42:56] I do not, there's three in this room, but.

Speaker 4:
[42:58] Bro, Chris is, hey, Chris is so on the fucking spectrum.

Speaker 8:
[43:02] No, no, no, no, no. So.

Speaker 4:
[43:04] No, you like count doorknobs and the cracks on the sidewalk and shit.

Speaker 5:
[43:08] What version of this OCD do you have?

Speaker 8:
[43:10] It's very hard to explain because it's not.

Speaker 5:
[43:12] Okay, well give us a real world example. Like you're someplace and your OCD kicks in because of what?

Speaker 8:
[43:17] Okay, okay. So say, so say, oh, okay. So, okay.

Speaker 5:
[43:23] Your jitters barbells are going out.

Speaker 8:
[43:24] Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, so there was a time where one time, this was before I was, when, so once you get in your early 20s, Give us the worst example. Well, once you get in your early 20s, that's when a lot of the times it comes to, Flares up, flares up. Super Scion, fucking OCD.

Speaker 4:
[43:45] Yeah, flares up.

Speaker 8:
[43:46] Flares up, yeah. So when that was happening, I was, I was just on, I did not know, I did not understand what was going on.

Speaker 4:
[43:53] I was just like, Like give us an example where you'd like count.

Speaker 8:
[44:27] My, my God.

Speaker 4:
[44:28] Hey, just this explanation shows you have it, dude. Just fucking spit it out.

Speaker 8:
[44:33] I threw away, I threw away this Snapple, okay? I threw away this Snapple.

Speaker 10:
[44:39] And you didn't read the fact.

Speaker 8:
[44:41] Well, yes.

Speaker 4:
[44:43] And you thought about it all day.

Speaker 8:
[44:44] He's saying my OCD is hacky, but I don't, no. I threw the, I threw the Snapple bottle away and it didn't feel right the way I threw it away. And I-

Speaker 4:
[44:52] Like the release of the bottle?

Speaker 8:
[44:56] He doesn't get it. He'll never understand. And that's fine. That's why I say it's hard to explain. It's not really the release of the bottle. It's my emotional state when I throw it away.

Speaker 5:
[45:05] Brendan clearly never had friends with issues.

Speaker 8:
[45:09] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[45:09] No, because he would just be a fricking bully. You know what I mean? Like, you couldn't be like a friend with like one of these arms.

Speaker 8:
[45:18] Oh, God, dude. Oh, half a T-Rex over here, him.

Speaker 4:
[45:21] No, because then we can't play catch. But keep going, Chris.

Speaker 5:
[45:26] So you threw it away.

Speaker 8:
[45:26] It was my early 20s. I threw it away. It just, my emotional state when I threw it away was not good, OK? I go, I should throw it away again.

Speaker 5:
[45:37] OK.

Speaker 8:
[45:38] I should reach in the trash can and throw it away again. And then I go like this. That does nothing. I know that does nothing. I know logistic, you know, logically and metaphysically, there's no correlation to what that's going to do. If I didn't do it, I'm filled with dread. Something dreadful is going to happen.

Speaker 3:
[45:57] Whatever that is.

Speaker 8:
[45:58] Back then, it might have been I was going to get cancer. I don't know. Right. But I go, I'm not doing it. And this is all me just in the kitchen. I'm not doing it. Fuck all that. So I drove. This was at my parents' place. So I drove home and I go, yeah, I'm not going to do it. And I as I drove home, I was like sweating. Yeah. Couldn't stop thinking about it. I go, I should have just done it. Should I go back home?

Speaker 3:
[46:24] Like, like legit.

Speaker 4:
[46:26] Yeah. You're like Rain Man, but you can't count.

Speaker 3:
[46:29] Right.

Speaker 8:
[46:29] Right. Right.

Speaker 3:
[46:30] Like legit dread, legit horror.

Speaker 8:
[46:34] Like it's not like and I understand it's not real.

Speaker 4:
[46:38] But yeah, you know, it's crazy.

Speaker 5:
[46:39] Okay, wait, let me stop. I got to step in here.

Speaker 8:
[46:41] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[46:41] So was also part of, so you have the OCD.

Speaker 8:
[46:45] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[46:45] And I think, do you think now looking back on it, other part of it was how your brain works as a comic, analyzing things.

Speaker 8:
[46:54] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[46:54] So then therefore you were like self-analyzing, which those two things were roaring.

Speaker 8:
[46:58] What I think is-

Speaker 4:
[46:59] Chris, just for those of us that don't have it, OCD is over compulsive disorder. Yeah, you obsess over minor things.

Speaker 8:
[47:10] Ruminate, thoughts ruminate. I can do it with, this doesn't really happen, but sometimes if I'm at a coffee shop or something and I get stuck with a thought like, this doesn't really happen anymore, but if somebody, if I was like, what if that person hurt themselves, tripped and fell and hurt themselves? And I would be thinking to that and I'm like, I don't want to think about this person hurting themselves, like that kind of shit, right?

Speaker 5:
[47:35] Well, so what happened with the snap up?

Speaker 4:
[47:36] Oh, I might have a splash of that.

Speaker 8:
[47:38] Yeah, so I got, well, I did, I never went, I didn't go back.

Speaker 5:
[47:41] His OCD is being a dick.

Speaker 8:
[47:43] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:
[47:45] No, I have some OCD tendencies, like, like my truck, like I'll obsess over the parts until I get them, until it's done, my anxiety will be so high, and then once it's completed, that I get kind of sad, or I'll think about my kid getting hurt, and I'll get really, like certain ways he can get hurt.

Speaker 8:
[48:07] Yeah, yeah, I mean, some of that stuff is...

Speaker 4:
[48:09] Well, I might have it. I'm gonna go in love on the spectrum.

Speaker 8:
[48:12] I guess there's a spectrum, right, but like... Gay.

Speaker 4:
[48:14] But yeah, yeah, yeah. Partner. Partner.

Speaker 5:
[48:19] My partner has OCD over here.

Speaker 4:
[48:22] But yours is debilitating if you don't take medication.

Speaker 8:
[48:24] My mind is truly, it's truly, there were times where, there were times where I, I mean, I hate to, well, no, I don't hate to say it because it helps people. But like, there were times where I couldn't leave my house.

Speaker 5:
[48:34] Yeah. So then did you go back for the sample bottle? You never finished?

Speaker 8:
[48:38] No, I didn't. Finished the story. Oh, wow. I didn't because I just white knuckled it, right? And I thought about it every day for weeks.

Speaker 4:
[48:48] You probably should have just done it for God's sake. Yeah, there was a, yeah, you should have just done it. But Chris, let me ask you this. Do you see any tendencies in your kids? Like, do you pass it down? Is it genetic? Do you see it with the voice?

Speaker 8:
[48:59] I think my uncle's got it, my dad probably had a little bit of it, you know.

Speaker 4:
[49:03] But do you see it with your kiddos at all? Do you see certain things like, yeah, let's not just count the green cranes, buddy. There's other colors.

Speaker 8:
[49:10] I recognize the patterns, yeah. But like, I don't know if it's what that is yet or not. But part of me feels, sometimes feels bad about it. But then I think, okay, well, I actually know how to deal with it. So it's a good thing, you know.

Speaker 4:
[49:24] I think it's a good thing, but it's also, but I think too, Chris.

Speaker 8:
[49:27] Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's see if we can catch up.

Speaker 4:
[49:29] But Chris, yeah, this is fucking therapy. But Chris, I do think since you figured it out, it can be a superpower too, because I think it's what makes you such a great comment too.

Speaker 5:
[49:40] So now it's okay.

Speaker 8:
[49:41] You seem different. Yes, it is okay now. But so what he said though about the comic thing is, what you're saying is true, what he's saying about the comic thing is, I don't think that it goes hand in hand with being funny, but I do think that it definitely can elevate the way my humor is because I think about things in certain crazy ways for a long time.

Speaker 5:
[50:04] If you figure it out.

Speaker 4:
[50:05] If you figure it out. If you can chant that.

Speaker 8:
[50:07] If you have that talent at all.

Speaker 4:
[50:09] Like Elon Musk is on the spectrum, and he figured it out to make it work for him.

Speaker 8:
[50:13] With Rockets are one of the fun.

Speaker 4:
[50:15] With Tom Brady's obsessive compulsive disorders with football, his wife was like, dude, you play one more season, you're gonna lose your kids and your wife, you're gonna lose like, say less. So there's people that can figure it out where they have success, but then their personal lives are miserable.

Speaker 8:
[50:32] Yeah, that's why I go into my...

Speaker 5:
[50:34] But that's not really what I meant.

Speaker 8:
[50:36] Oh, what?

Speaker 5:
[50:36] No, no, no, what I meant was like, so you have this thing, and there's part of you that like, if you would have just given into it, you would have turned around, went back, you would have thrown the bottle away. Let's say you had done that. Which I wish you did. How many times?

Speaker 8:
[50:48] I've done that plenty of times.

Speaker 5:
[50:48] But I'm saying, but how many times have you have done it? Until you felt okay.

Speaker 8:
[50:52] It could have taken... Forty times.

Speaker 5:
[50:56] Okay. That's insane. So what I'm saying is this, you have that. But then there's also a part of you that is like, in the Avengers, cursed with knowledge. So that part of you was warring with that part. And because you're always aware that this is... So what I'm saying is that's a whole other... How do you deal with that? You get what I'm saying? Because there's a part of you that's like, I shouldn't be doing this. And you're fighting yourself. So you were trying to almost self-medicate in a way of self-diagnose and then you couldn't handle it. And then on top of that, what happened when you go back to your parents' house way later and then walk by that trash can and then think about that Snapple bottle? You know what I mean? So that's like...

Speaker 8:
[51:44] But it's gone and now what the fuck do I do? I wanna go to the dumpster and find it. You know what I mean? It's insane, dude. But there were plenty of times where I went back and did that, you know. Whatever it is. But this time I didn't. I remember it was one of the first times and it was just... But behavioral therapy is a thing. And I went to go do that for a little bit. And basically what it is, is to fucking narrow it down, is just fucking get over it. So what? You know what I mean? So don't do it, then what? And it's like, okay, yeah, you don't get a fucking...

Speaker 5:
[52:18] But that same thing that made you white knuckle and not go back, is the same thing, that same thought process that helps you get past it. It's just a certain point you just, you clicks in, it's like, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 8:
[52:30] Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5:

Speaker 5:
[54:37] But it's still hard, right?

Speaker 8:
[54:39] But that's what the fucking Prozac helps with, is if, I'll still have that thought, but then I'll be like, okay, I know if I don't do it, the dread and the anxiety isn't going to be as bad because it just takes the edge off it, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:
[54:56] What's the side effects of Prozac? What's the side effects?

Speaker 8:
[55:00] Fucking huge shoulders, no.

Speaker 5:
[55:04] I knew you were getting neck tattoos. Yeah, I know it too.

Speaker 8:
[55:07] No, the side effects can be lower libido, thank God, and depression, but that's, you know.

Speaker 5:
[55:18] Oh, my God.

Speaker 4:
[55:19] God, I'd rather count crayons. Yeah, I'd rather count the crayons.

Speaker 5:
[55:23] That's terrible.

Speaker 8:
[55:24] No, not me, dude. Not me. But I don't think, but it hasn't gotten me to breath.

Speaker 4:
[55:28] I know, but what I'm saying is that would be terrible.

Speaker 8:
[55:31] That would be terrible, yeah. But no, but it is, the trade-off is-

Speaker 4:
[55:35] You woke up sad panda today.

Speaker 8:
[55:36] For me, the trade-off is worth it.

Speaker 4:
[55:38] Count the crayons.

Speaker 8:
[55:38] I mean, I can't, OCD is just, oh my God, dude.

Speaker 5:
[55:44] Well, I mean, it's something you can't describe, so it's like, I get it. It's like being trapped.

Speaker 4:
[55:47] Yeah, please don't try again either.

Speaker 5:
[55:48] Just being trapped in some sort of loop where you're just like throwing an apple bottle away.

Speaker 8:
[55:52] Yeah, it's also like, I mean, Tourette's, we were talking about this with them.

Speaker 4:
[55:56] Damn, you got Tourette's too?

Speaker 8:
[55:57] No, no, no, but no. No, but they say that it's very closely related and I can totally understand that.

Speaker 4:
[56:05] We can't control it.

Speaker 8:
[56:06] That helps me understand Tourette's a little bit.

Speaker 4:
[56:08] Gotcha.

Speaker 8:
[56:08] Because I was like, just don't say it, but it's, ugh, dude.

Speaker 4:
[56:12] They can't help it.

Speaker 5:
[56:12] Yeah, but if they could do that, then they, you know.

Speaker 8:
[56:14] Yeah, no, I know.

Speaker 5:
[56:15] But even that situation with that guy, with the people, you know. That Tourette's guy was there because the movie about him was up for nomination and the guy's in the crowd.

Speaker 8:
[56:25] That's so funny.

Speaker 5:
[56:25] You know, they should have put him in a glassed off area.

Speaker 8:
[56:27] Oh my God.

Speaker 5:
[56:28] You know what I mean?

Speaker 8:
[56:28] A muzzle like the Hannibal Lecter? Hannibal Lecter? Roll him in.

Speaker 4:
[56:32] Hannibal Lecter, can't hear him.

Speaker 5:
[56:33] No, but it's like, you know, I'm 50-50 on it because part of it's like, hey everybody, this guy's movie's up, you have to understand. If you don't get it, then what are we doing? You know what I mean? And then at the same time you go, maybe you don't come to this.

Speaker 8:
[56:46] Right, right, right.

Speaker 5:
[56:47] Maybe you V a satellite like this.

Speaker 4:
[56:49] Chris and Eric, doesn't Rick Glassman have OCD or something like that?

Speaker 8:
[56:52] I think, yeah, I think he, he is autistic, he has autism, but I think he has OCD too, yeah. But I think a lot of his is the cleanliness stuff.

Speaker 4:
[57:02] Yeah, I remember going over his house to do his podcast.

Speaker 5:
[57:05] I remember during the pandemic.

Speaker 4:
[57:06] He's awesome.

Speaker 5:
[57:07] The pandemic and I remember him calling me and he's like, man, I want you to come to the podcast. And he was like, really like, and he was like, I just, but there, I need you to do this for me though. And I was like, it's all right. I was like, it's all right, Rick, what do you need?

Speaker 8:
[57:21] I get it.

Speaker 5:
[57:21] And he was like, he was like, I need you to come to, wait, hold on Brendan. He was like, I need you to, when you get to the house, open the door, take your shoes off, walk all the way over to the balcony, put your shoes in a certain place. And I was like, it's okay, I get it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 4:
[57:37] Yeah, same, because he asked me to do it during COVID and I thought it was a bit. I was like, God, is he gonna film this?

Speaker 8:
[57:42] I know, that's the thing with him is because he's a comedian, you don't know.

Speaker 4:
[57:44] Yeah, but he's silly all the time. And then I got over there and I did what he asked and then I was like, all right, dude, what's going on here? And he was like, no, serious. Like, you have to do that. I'm like, oh, this isn't a bit.

Speaker 8:
[57:56] It's hilarious, the fucking.

Speaker 5:
[57:57] I know, but it's hard to like, if you have that, especially like, even if it's like the cleanliness thing, it's hard if like, you're just living your, you're trying to live your life and somebody like, you know, grabs this and then maybe they, you know, this falls on the ground.

Speaker 8:
[58:15] We can't stop thinking about it.

Speaker 5:
[58:15] And they pick it up and they put it back in. And you're just like, you can't stop yourself from being like, ah, you have AIDS now or whatever you're thinking.

Speaker 4:
[58:23] Dude, my wife, cause you know, kids aren't clean. So she's, she'll freak out a lot. You know, I'm like, buddy, we gotta chill. Like, they're kids, like, all right, we gotta chill. Or like, while I've opened houses and she'll be like, I gotta get the house ready. I'll look around like, it's ready. Looks ready. This bitch is ready. What else? What are we, what are we gonna do? Like scrub the floors? I don't, what else is there to do? Like, we live in a museum.

Speaker 5:
[58:51] You know, it, you know what the hard part, like what you're talking about for yourself?

Speaker 8:
[58:55] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[58:55] So if you don't have anything like that, like, you know, there, there's a thought process that people would say, well, that's normal. Okay. So, you know, if you're quote unquote normal, which is not the greatest way to say that.

Speaker 8:
[59:11] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[59:11] But it's like, you know, how much empathy do you have when you're like, when you're with someone?

Speaker 8:
[59:18] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[59:18] And then that person, they don't, they're, they don't even know how to have empathy. You know, like, how do you, you know what I mean?

Speaker 8:
[59:26] Because like, a lot of times for me, it would be like, I would, I would, my thing wouldn't be like, whoa, he's going crazy. My thing would be like, I would be like, totally withdrawn within myself. And like, people would, I guess, think I'm in a bad mood or something. And then if they talk to me, I'd be like, yeah, you know? And I didn't realize what I was, I'm not realizing how I'm coming off, but like, you know, to be in a relationship with somebody like that, they're like, the fuck is this? It was his problem, you know? And I'm like, just don't, you know, I get to the point where I be like, just when I'm doing that, just don't talk to me. But then it's like, that's a whole fucking thing. Now I'm affecting their lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's like, you know, sure, it's better than yelling at them. And my thing is I snap and say, fuck you, and you know that I have an anger problem, but like, is it? You know? So it's fucking tough, man. It's tough, but the Prozac helped. I took other stuff first and it kind of helped a little bit and then it petered out, but the Prozac shit, man.

Speaker 5:
[60:21] Well, there's also probably a part of it that also makes you super charismatic and like all those things. So it's like, there's a trade-off. So if you're in a relationship with you, it would be great if Kristen was here and we could be like, what are the good parts? It would be like, there's these things, you know what I mean? So there's always a trade-off. You've got some negativity that goes with that and you just find a partner who, you know, it's like, okay.

Speaker 8:
[60:48] He's shaking his head.

Speaker 5:
[60:49] You know what I mean?

Speaker 8:
[60:51] Yeah. But definitely I like to run bits into the ground and that's probably because I like to obsess about them, you know?

Speaker 5:
[60:56] Yeah. But that also makes for a great solo podcast. Congratulations.

Speaker 8:
[61:01] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[61:02] Well, I'm glad you figured it out, Christopher.

Speaker 8:
[61:04] Yeah. Jesus Christ. Man, it's crazy to think about how, I can't believe how bad I was.

Speaker 4:
[61:12] Does your brother have it?

Speaker 8:
[61:14] No, no. I mean, he, no. My whole family is my whole family and like we all are shades of it, you know? But no, no, no. My dad kind of, not really though, but my uncle for sure.

Speaker 5:
[61:26] Yeah. But I think the people that get into the arts that have like, you know, when you're a, but you know, your dad is a showrunner, so he's meticulous about certain things. I think Matt has that about his directing.

Speaker 1:
[61:37] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[61:37] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[61:37] Talk about how he talks about movies or the things that he focuses on.

Speaker 8:
[61:40] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[61:41] So there, you know, again, it could be used as a positive in the-

Speaker 4:
[61:44] I think Eric's the most normal one. I mean, I got a splash of the tism and then Chris full blown. And then Eric, you don't have nothing, man, huh?

Speaker 5:
[61:54] I don't know. Who knows?

Speaker 8:
[61:55] You got all this stuff, you know, he's anxious or some shit.

Speaker 5:
[61:57] Yeah. Everybody's got a thing. Like when I, like I don't-

Speaker 8:
[62:01] Eric shits his pants.

Speaker 5:
[62:02] I don't do drugs. I don't drink, you know? But I-

Speaker 4:
[62:05] Your thing's diet, right, Eric?

Speaker 5:
[62:07] When I go to, this guy.

Speaker 4:
[62:09] You know, I'm not even being mean.

Speaker 5:
[62:11] Show him in the high heels again.

Speaker 4:
[62:14] I struggle with eating. I struggle with dieting too. I'm just saying if you had to pick on you and me for stuff, you know, I've been big before.

Speaker 5:
[62:21] No, when I go to-

Speaker 4:
[62:22] The food is my relationship.

Speaker 8:
[62:24] It's a tough one.

Speaker 4:
[62:25] And yours too.

Speaker 5:
[62:26] I think like, I almost thought I could have had a gambling problem. You know, I could have.

Speaker 8:
[62:32] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[62:33] There were moments where I'd be like, oh, this is the thing.

Speaker 8:
[62:35] That's one that missed me. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[62:37] You know what I mean? So I've gone to Vegas. I remember doing the Tropicana. You'd be there for a week. I can remember losing all my money day one. Right. And then I'm just broke for a week, waiting to get paid. You know what I mean? So you just learn. Because there's something about, I love playing craps. And there's something about it that.

Speaker 8:
[63:01] It is fun. Yeah. I like it too.

Speaker 5:
[63:03] There's a thing. No, but I get obsessed. I do this thing where I'm like, okay, well, you start with this and then you double that. And then you.

Speaker 8:
[63:10] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[63:11] There's a way of how I play it. And it's like, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not.

Speaker 8:
[63:15] That's about, that's kind of addict-y. Like, I mean, that's like, I do that with working out. I'm fucking, you know, whatever I get my hands on.

Speaker 4:
[63:23] But gambling is also designed to be that way, right? Like, it's designed to get its fucking fangs in you. It's all designed that way.

Speaker 5:
[63:29] I mean, like, what do they say? Like, if a gambler's hell would be, they win every time.

Speaker 8:
[63:36] Oh, interesting. Yeah, huh.

Speaker 5:
[63:38] That every time they threw the dice, it was a win. That, that, then, there's nothing.

Speaker 3:
[63:42] It is pretty funny that we...

Speaker 5:
[63:44] You need that idea that you're gonna lose. That's what fuels the crazy...

Speaker 8:
[63:48] It is pretty interesting how this podcast has been very, you know, we've been deeper than we usually are, and we are still calling it Ropey Barbells. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[64:00] Yeah.

Speaker 8:
[64:01] That is a great dichotomy of what...

Speaker 5:
[64:04] Yeah, pants.

Speaker 8:
[64:05] Yeah. No, but I do think that it's... Yeah, I felt that with gambling too. I never got into gambling.

Speaker 4:
[64:14] Hey Nick, Nick, would you say you have anything? I mean, clearly gambling might be... You don't have an issue, right?

Speaker 10:
[64:20] I think I'm just on the edge of anything. Like drinking, but nothing that's affecting my life in a negative way at the moment, so. But in my 20s, I was definitely blacking out drinking too much.

Speaker 8:
[64:34] But then also...

Speaker 4:
[64:35] Yeah, but you're in your 20s.

Speaker 8:
[64:35] That's 20s, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[64:38] Yeah, but I never did that. You never did that.

Speaker 8:
[64:40] No, but...

Speaker 5:
[64:41] But there's other things.

Speaker 8:
[64:43] Well, for me for sure, mine was fucking sex and... But like...

Speaker 10:
[64:47] Mine would have been sex if I could have done that, probably.

Speaker 8:
[64:50] Yeah. I think a lot of guys would have been, honestly. There's a little bit of a gray area there.

Speaker 4:
[64:54] We have a lot of options.

Speaker 8:
[64:56] There's a little bit of a gray area, but...

Speaker 5:
[64:58] But wait, wait. You know what? This is really strange, because that's actually unfair. What?

Speaker 4:
[65:06] What do you mean?

Speaker 5:
[65:06] I'm just saying, we think of the things that we think are great things. Sex, food, making money. We think of those things of like, well, I mean, that can't be that bad. It is. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4:
[65:23] Oh, any of those things, you can destroy them.

Speaker 5:
[65:25] It's so weird. But it's just like, but... And that's how we get out of control with it.

Speaker 8:
[65:29] I know. Well, and you know what is a real motherfucker, too, and like, is also like, you see these fucking famous people, fame is that way, dude.

Speaker 5:
[65:39] Yes.

Speaker 8:
[65:40] Like, like...

Speaker 4:
[65:40] Fame's addicting. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8:
[65:41] These people who, who, you know...

Speaker 5:
[65:44] Yes.

Speaker 8:
[65:44] You meet and you're like, oh my God, this is what they think the world is like. It's just insane. And look, you know, there are people who are famous that have less of that, but it's all to a degree, it's just...

Speaker 5:
[65:56] Well, I remember like at the... Listen, man, I always felt like, like at the height of Workaholics, where it'd be like certain, you know, it was like every one in 20 people would be like, oh man. You know, I never... I always thought, I don't wanna like, need that, because I don't wanna miss it when it's gone. Because I have a lot of comic friends who were on television shows, big television shows, and then it all went away, and you can see that they miss it. Yep.

Speaker 8:
[66:25] Got it.

Speaker 5:
[66:26] You know what I mean? You can see that they miss it. So my thing is just like, you know, I always was just kind of like, yeah, you know.

Speaker 8:
[66:32] Yeah, no, you don't carry that. You don't have that with you. Like to me, it feels like you're happy and like...

Speaker 5:
[66:37] Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I can remember being at a restaurant with a buddy of mine, you know, and he was really into it, you know? So he would be like, man, those people over there, they're looking, they know. It's like, I'd be like, hey, don't worry about that. My thing would always be like, if somebody walks up to me and they're like, hey man, Montez, you know, I'd be like, yeah, what's up? You know, but I'm not going out of my way to look for it.

Speaker 8:
[66:55] Right, right, right, right.

Speaker 5:
[66:55] You know what I mean? I'm just kind of like, boom, you know? And as it's gone away, you know, now it's just like, oh, now people are like, oh, weren't you on Bad Friends?

Speaker 8:
[67:04] Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right. You know what I mean?

Speaker 5:
[67:05] I'm like, okay, then it changes. It becomes different. So you just enjoy your life. You know what I'm saying? So Fort Wayne, Chris is going to be in Fort Wayne.

Speaker 8:
[67:16] I don't even know. I guess they, I hope that we'll see what happens there.

Speaker 5:
[67:19] Summit City Comedy Club, is that a new comedy club?

Speaker 8:
[67:22] I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 4:
[67:23] No, it's not. I think I opened up that club.

Speaker 8:
[67:25] Oh, wow.

Speaker 4:
[67:27] Yeah, I think I was one of the first ones.

Speaker 5:
[67:28] Summit City, how come I'm not going to Summit City?

Speaker 8:
[67:30] Schaumburg, Illinois, which is basically Chicago, Nashville, Tennessee, the new Westminster, BC. That's like Vancouver, Salt Lake City, Utah. Now, Brendan, you, wait, go up a little bit. I had a question about something.

Speaker 5:
[67:42] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. We're going to ericgriffin.com first.

Speaker 8:
[67:45] We will, we will. So, this is something I've never done. I've never done Schaumburg. You guys both have.

Speaker 5:
[67:50] I've never done, I always was a Zanies person.

Speaker 4:
[67:52] I've done Schaumburg a bunch.

Speaker 8:
[67:54] Okay, so, and you said it's a completely, it's its own thing.

Speaker 4:
[67:57] You, you, you, yeah, it's, but it's tough cause there's nothing around Schaumburg.

Speaker 8:
[68:01] That's why I'm not gonna ask.

Speaker 4:
[68:01] So if you stay in Schaumburg, there's nothing to do. But if you stay in Chicago, it's about a 40 minute drive.

Speaker 8:
[68:07] Right, so what should I do?

Speaker 4:
[68:07] And with Chicago traffic, it's tough. But I always stayed in Chicago and just left early.

Speaker 8:
[68:12] I wonder what I'll do.

Speaker 4:
[68:14] Cause Chicago's fun. Chicago's good, all the food, all the, Chicago's great.

Speaker 5:
[68:17] Depends on the weather too.

Speaker 4:
[68:19] I'll tell you right now, Chris, if you stay in Schaumburg, you're gonna be miserable. I would stay in Chicago and deal with the traffic.

Speaker 8:
[68:24] Okay, okay.

Speaker 10:
[68:25] 50 minutes from Schaumburg to Chicago right now.

Speaker 5:

[69:53] All right, kids.

Speaker 8:
[69:53] Thanks, guys.

Speaker 4:
[69:54] See you, dudes. Thanks for sharing, partners.

Speaker 3:
[70:03] We're coming at you with everything we got.

Speaker 7:
[70:12] With movies like Pineapple Express, the entire Star Trek film franchise, and Gladiator, and TV shows like Survivor, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly Odd Parents, and Ghosts, Pluto TV is always free. Huzzah! Pluto TV, stream now, pay never.

Speaker 2:
[70:29] Have you ever thought, ugh, this water is too wet?

Speaker 9:
[70:32] This beach is too sandy.

Speaker 2:
[70:34] Welcome to Beach Too Sandy, Water Too Wet, the podcast where we do dramatic readings of the most wild and off-the-wall reviews on the internet.

Speaker 9:
[70:41] We read real reviews about everything from Vegas weddings, matchmaking services and Trader Joe's, to caves, toddler beds and Spirit Halloween.

Speaker 2:
[70:49] You won't believe the things people think absolutely must be said on the internet. How else would everyone know that some caves don't have Wi-Fi?

Speaker 9:
[70:55] We hear about the good, like the time a couple was happily married in a Vegas Denny's.

Speaker 2:
[71:00] And the bad, like who knew people stole from pet cemeteries?

Speaker 9:
[71:03] And the ugly, because when there's soggy lettuce in the Chuck E. Cheese salad bar, it can get pretty ugly.

Speaker 2:
[71:09] Join us every Wednesday wherever you listen to your podcasts. I feel targeted by that pet cemeteries comment.

Speaker 9:
[71:14] I know, I was about to say, wasn't that you?

Speaker 2:
[71:15] That was me.

Speaker 9:
[71:16] Yeah.
