Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, welcome to another Sklarbro Country, the virus edition. We love doing this pod for you, hope you had a good weekend. We were recording this on the Friday before, so if the world blew up over the weekend, we're sorry. We'll still release it though. At least we released it. When the world is a barren wasteland, we'll know. You got us. If we get two views after an apocalypse.
Starting point is 00:00:31 I'll take it. I'm going to count that as a great video. I'll be like, hey, we got a like. Is it getting any hits? Is it getting any hits? Is it getting any hits? These are the pandipods. This is The Basement Takes.
Starting point is 00:00:41 I love that Ed Ellington. If that's Ed Ellington who came on. I'm giving it to Ed Ellington, whether it is or not. The Basement Takes. We are the Sklar Brothers, and this is what we do. Daily podcast, 30 minutes every day to give you a little break. No charts. No predictions.
Starting point is 00:00:55 No death toll rates. No stock market. None of that. We're not talking about that right now. We're making fun of some silly decisions being made through this process. yeah uh we're trying to find what's funny in these moments and we're venting to you about our lives how are you feeling by the way ran through this i feel okay i saw a guy running down the street people are running that's like a big thing a lot of running going on on nextdoor.com and maybe we'll do a whole episode where we just explore just one several posts on nextdoor.com. And maybe we'll do a whole episode where we just explore just one, several posts on nextdoor.com.
Starting point is 00:01:26 We'll just go through all of them. Saw a guy running. Don't trust him. Nextdoor.com. Nextdoor.com is the beginning of racism. Right. Well, it's like a time. It is.
Starting point is 00:01:33 But then there's a moment where if you see somebody and you're trying to describe them, no matter how you, if you're trying to give an accurate description, there's no way you can't sound like a racist. Because even if you identify, hey, there's a white guy running why why the fact is he's white why does that have to do why does that have to do anything because we're trying to help you that no so people are running okay nextdoor.com is a tattletale site yeah and i i'm telling on you i told the story so there was a chicken running loose in silver Lake. Is there anything more Silver Lake, Los Angeles, than a chicken running wild?
Starting point is 00:02:08 And someone was talking about it and how it looked like it was crazy. And then, of course, my wife, Amy, had to poke the nextdoor.com bear, if you will. And she commented on it, how funky was that chicken? You can't do that because then someone followed that up with a comment, that is a real chicken with real problems and real issues.
Starting point is 00:02:33 To which my daughter, Daisy, then 14 years old, took that quote and put it on the dry erase board. It lived in our kitchen for months. That is a real chicken with real problems and real issues. Crazy lady from nextdoor.com. At least she gave her, attributed to something. She was almost too nice to that woman. So there's a big issue about running.
Starting point is 00:02:53 I don't know if people are walking in their neighborhoods, and hopefully you're listening to this podcast, getting a little bit of fresh air. Maybe you're walking around your lawn. Maybe you're trying to find that one moment where people aren't out and you can walk through your neighborhood, and that is actually good and healthy for the soul and the body. But there are a lot of people walking in my neighborhood and people are running and sweating and breathing out and putting all
Starting point is 00:03:15 their whatever they're out into the world. And it's bothering people. And the truth is that, and my wife wants to post on, I'm like, do not. You already messed up that spot. Don't post on nextdoor.com. She wants to post on nextdoor.com. If you're running in Silver Lake, shut your mouth. Shut your mouth and you go into the street. If you're running, don't take
Starting point is 00:03:37 the running path. If you have to run, she's going to make a lot of running. That was like a big discussion in my head. If you have to run, the walkers get the right of way because you're on a walking path. And she feels very, very strongly of it. So strongly that now I have to feel strongly about it. You know those issues? She literally was like, digitally hold my beer.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah. I'm going in. She was like, digitally hold you back. Digitally hold my Nine Wests. Hold my earrings. Hold my Nine Wests. Hold my clip-ons. I'm going to digitally hold you back. Digitally hold my nine Wests. Hold my earrings. Hold my nine Wests. Hold my clip-ons. I'm going in.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Hold my weave. I'm going in on this fight. I was like, no. This is not a Caribbean brunch on Real Housewives of NBA wives. No. You got to stay back. Let this run its course. That's right.
Starting point is 00:04:20 No pun intended. That's right. And if it does run its course, go out in the street if you need to. I said, look, maybe you need to go out. Just quote, quote Michael McDonald of the Doobie Brothers. You don't know me, but I'm your brother? No. Taking it to the streets.
Starting point is 00:04:35 There was a time in the early 80s where Michael McDonald sang on 90% of the songs that were released. He was the white Nate Dogg. I've always said this. Yes. Nate Dogg in the 90s and early 2000s. Come on up to my castle, baby. See you got things on your mind. Come on up to my bedroom, baby.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Having things is just fine. So she wanted to write something on there. And in the midst of all of this, where I was trying to tamp down the don't make a thing about don't rile them up don't rile them up what was that from don't i don't we were watching some sporting event and we were riling up other people yeah and they were like our anger and son matt price kept saying don't rile him up he started chanting and that was riling us up but in the midst of all this running
Starting point is 00:05:32 controversy i saw a guy outside and i'm again my whole thing is do not don't rile him up don't and i saw a guy running on my street barefoot running you know there's that trend of like it's not even skeletons bro we saw a guy in skeletons in it skeletons in a suit at the airport i hope you land on a hypodermic needle what meeting are you going to wear that where is it that you skeletons, you can wear that with a, and I think it was a three-piece suit. You can't be that important to wear those. You either have to own the company or you're an afterthought.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Like even on Silicon Valley, when Gavin wore, I was like, that's a little, that might be gilding the lily bit. We saw it live and I'm like, I can't even get angry about it. It's live. We saw it in the world. Saw it in the wild.
Starting point is 00:06:25 This guy was running barefoot. I'm like, whatever skin things you're just putting out into the world. And I guess there's this idea that, oh, yeah, run barefoot. That's the way our ancestors ran. Well, our ancestors weren't running on, like, there wasn't a lot of broken glass. Our ancestors didn't have the choice. It wasn't like, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:45 Neanderthal man was like shunning Nike. Yeah, it wasn't like Yeezys came along and they're like, yeah, I think I'll just stay.
Starting point is 00:06:52 I'm just gonna stay. I'll stay with these calloused feet. Right. I'm gonna stay with feet that are like gigantic because there's like, they're so puffy
Starting point is 00:07:01 I can't feel anything. So this guy was running and the second he ran by the house and I saw it, I was like picking up poop i can't feel anything so this guy was running and the second he ran by my the house and i saw it i was like picking up poop from the dog and i saw this guy running by there i was like into the streets i was like this ass i came back in and i'm like get me on next door get on i gotta write about log me in if you're if you're running take it to the streets if you're barefoot take it to your house yeah take it home bro um getting it just just doubt what do you do after you're barefoot and you're running do you just douse your feet Take it to your house. Yeah. Take it home. Bro. Getting it. Just doubt.
Starting point is 00:07:25 What do you do after you're barefoot and you're running? Do you just douse your feet in hand sand in Purell? We'll get to that because there's a story about that. Let's get to it right now. Purell. I'm just going to say it right now. Is Purell, to quote Dennis Green, who we thought Purell was? I don't know at this point.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Does it do what they say it do? Well, some people are trying to sue it. Gojo Industries, which, is that who you thought? I thought Gojo Industries, I thought just they made toys that kids swallowed and almost died from. You know what I mean? These robots have knives on them. Gojo Industries. Gojo Industries also sounds like it's a mixture of being a martial arts dojo and a kid's play place.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It sounds like in a new Jackie Chan movie, that's the bad guy. Teach your three-year-old karate in this ball pit. Gojo Industries. No, no, but he's the bad guy. The bad guy works for Gojo. Shanghai Afternoons. That's right. Gojo Industries.
Starting point is 00:08:20 That's right. So I'm going to read this. So pardon my look this way, but who are listening You don't give a damn The maker of Purell hand sanitizer Facing two class action lawsuits Right now as we speak Again Right now
Starting point is 00:08:32 People are still suing other people Amidst this pandemic Gotta get that legal Can't keep that spirit down Okay Gotta make money somehow Facing two class action lawsuits Accusing of misleading claims
Starting point is 00:08:44 That it can prevent 99.9% of the illness-causing germs out in the world. You know, legally, they're like, wait, not legally, they're like, if any disease comes up, they're like, that was the point one. That's in the 0.1%? That's a 0.1.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Every disease is in the 0.1. Whatever disease you got, that's fine. So the most recent Lawsuit filed by Four people March 13th In federal court The northeastern
Starting point is 00:09:09 District of Ohio Because I got Nothing better to do Comes as retailers Scrambled I keep hand sanitizer On the shelves Pirell's label
Starting point is 00:09:17 Says That it can kill 99.9% Of the illness Causing germs You know They're claiming it They're leaving the door open.
Starting point is 00:09:25 They're saying it's misleading and implies sound scientific support would not exist. Did you think that implies sound scientific? No. 99.9% is like what a dummy says. That's right. They're like, I'm 99.9% sure I could kick your ass. That's right. I'm going to kick 99.9% of your ass.
Starting point is 00:09:44 It's like when a dumb person tries to sound scientific or tries to make you sound like I got 100% of this covered. That's how someone exaggerates. For people to be calling Purell on it just means that they're dumber than Purell. To think
Starting point is 00:09:59 that that meant that they ran scientific tests. No, I'm 99.9% sure she doesn't have herpes. That's what you say to your friend when you know she has herpes. But Purell never thought it would be thrust into the limelight quite like that. Purell was a background player in a Broadway show who suddenly right now has to do a solo. Purell was just good smelling rubbing alcohol. That's all it was?
Starting point is 00:10:30 I bet people make elderflower moonshine out of Purell in the foothills of West Virginia in the Smoky Mountains. Someone's making a Purell batch of moonshine as we speak. Purell was fun because you could make it disappear onto your hands. That's why that's all people are like, look at this cool technology. It goes away, and then your hands dry again. So I'm going to read
Starting point is 00:10:46 some of the case here. Quote, these claims lack a scientific basis rendering the affirmative misrepresentations misleading. I feel like this case is being argued
Starting point is 00:10:55 by a seventh grader. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Your Honor, no fair. Okay. It's no fair.
Starting point is 00:11:02 They pretended like it was science when it wasn't science it's not science i think they should be in big trouble your honor right goji didn't gojo gojo did not immediately respond to a request for comment here of course they didn't and the issue was able to they said that purell has quote broken the public's trust broken the public's trust. Broken the public's trust? You're not married to Purell. Do you know what I'm saying? Look, I understand these are desperate times. If you're counting on Purell solely, people are like, God, I trusted Purell. I don't know who
Starting point is 00:11:37 Purell is anymore. Until this one happened. I mean, I need hand sanitizer that I can trust. I mean, I need hand sanitizer that I can trust. I want hand sanitizer I can sit down and drink a beer with. Yeah. All right? I need a hand sanitizer that won't leave me when I go out with my friends. Yes. I want hand sanitizer that shoots straight.
Starting point is 00:12:02 When they say 99.9%, I want to know that they ran the tests. But 99.9% does leave the door open I trusted you Purell Look You can't put too much weight on Purell That's too much weight on a thin back That's right So in January the US Food and Drug Administration Sent a letter to the maker of Purell
Starting point is 00:12:19 Warning Gojo What are you using Purell? Warning Gojo against Making unsubstantiated claims about the effectiveness Of the products Warning Gojo What are you using Pirell? Warning Gojo Let's put a little on right now Against making unsubstantiated claims About the effectiveness of the products The FDA cited several advertising campaigns Suggesting that Pirell could prevent
Starting point is 00:12:32 The flu, Ebola, Norovirus And other deadly Okay, so they did kind of lie And it adds two inches to your penis Wait, what? I feel like Pirell is overreaching In this instance. So demand, of course, is going to-
Starting point is 00:12:47 Male pattern baldness, it cures? No, it won't. Erectile dysfunction. So there's a bottom line here, and this is the bottom line I say about Purell, is that- Beazles, mumps. Should get rid of any stats on their label. That's what Purell should do. Just get rid of it and just adopt this tagline, Purell.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Smells like it works. Yeah. Right? That should be the new thing. Hey, Purell, look, it feels like it should work. Yeah. This has got to work, right, guys? That's what Purell should be.
Starting point is 00:13:19 They should be your friend who doesn't know if the bungee cord is 100% secure, but he's like, I mean, they're not going to let you die on this thing. It's bungee cord jumping. That's right. How can it go wrong? It's fine. Don't overpromise. Nobody will get hurt.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Purell, don't ask, don't tell. That rhymes. Purell, it's one way to feel better. I guess. Yeah. If you did it like that, Purell, curiosity killed the cat. Curiosity is a deadly virus that we probably can't stop. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Okay? If they did that, boom. They're not saying they get rid of it. No, they're not. They're just saying, okay, we smell good. We'll keep you pretty clean. That's right. Also, don't touch a lot of people
Starting point is 00:14:06 and put your hands in your mouth. Yeah. And then don't drink us. But we smell pretty good smelling rubbing alcohol. That's what they should say. And that's it. I don't know if they're going to win these lawsuits because at first, before I started, I was
Starting point is 00:14:21 against them, but now I'm actually on their side, but now I'm kind of against them. I don't know who to root for anymore at all. I think that's because no sports have been around. There's no sense of good and bad. You're trying to say, who do I root for here and there? There's no home team, no away team. There's no good.
Starting point is 00:14:37 There's no evil anymore. This virus has removed my ability to understand who we should root for. My rooting compass is now gone Completely gone And let's take a break, shall we? Yeah, let's take a break In this break, before we head to break
Starting point is 00:14:52 We have a voicemail We have a little voicemail from our good buddy Dan Van Kirk Oh yeah, Dan Van Kirk Who has a new podcast himself He's going to tell you a little bit about that People are always asking us during this time, what else should I be listening to? There's a little recommendation. Dan Van Kirk has the Good Night Show. Is that what it's called?
Starting point is 00:15:10 Our co-host. The Good Night Show I thought was a kids show on PBS. The Midnight Show? No, that was the I don't know what it is. Dan's going to tell you what it is. Sleep tight show. It is a late night show that you can go to sleep to that will make you feel good.
Starting point is 00:15:25 That's what Dan Van Kirk does. He makes you feel good. He is our co-host from Dumb People Town. And check this out. And then we'll go to break. Hey, this is Daniel Van Kirk. You're actually listening to the theme from my brand new podcast called The Good Night Show. It's a late night podcast that drops every single night wherever you get your podcast and it's light and it's fun. Episodes run anywhere from maybe 15 to 20 minutes, never more
Starting point is 00:15:51 than 30. And we cover topics like history of pop culture or notable days that are happening that week. Everything from small town news to positive things that we've seen from around the internet or have even been sent in by you. Plus, we have unsolved mysteries, sex and relationship advice, and a couple times a month we even bring in a guest for an interview. And those will be people from the comedy world and beyond. It's called The Good Night Show. I hope you check it out and I hope you like it. All right, welcome back. Hope you guys are doing well.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Again, thank you for subscribing, rating, reviewing this podcast. It's growing. We appreciate the people who watch the clips and comment on our Instagram page. We are trying to make sure. I think it should be up on Stitcher at this point. Someone had asked about that. Thank you for that. Thank you, LA Magazine, for mentioning us as one of the podcasts you should be listening to to get you through this coronavirus. That felt great.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Look, we don't know when the end is. We're going to continue to do this throughout this. Let me just say, truthfully, this is not easy for us. We are taking a slight risk by me being in Randy's space right now. And me being away from my family in this time. It is not easy. It's not easy to do it. But we believe that this is one of the things we can do to help and to put what we believe is good vibes, creativity, comedy into a dark place and try to find some light. So that's why we're doing this. We will continue to do it throughout this process and try to give you guys that little break every single day
Starting point is 00:17:28 that will help you lift your spirits a little bit. And hopefully we can get you to maybe give you some good advice, like this next story. Look out for people trying to take advantage of you. I'm just going to say that right now, okay? Because it doesn't stop when we hit a pandemic. By the way, especially old people are the targets. Old people are the targets of this pandemic,
Starting point is 00:17:46 and there are targets of people trying to get them to do stuff. But I'll say this to the old people out in the world, and if you're an old person and you're listening to this, I get you. I got duped. Remember when I got duped? Yep, Randy got duped. I was on a class field trip that I was chaperoning for my then, she was now in seventh grade, but then sixth grader, and I'm on this class field trip. I was chaperoning for my then, she was now in seventh grade, but then sixth grader.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And I'm on this class field trip. They're at like a writing workshop. I get a phone call, like three phone calls from a number I don't recognize. I pick it up. I start talking to him. It's a guy with an Indian accent, not Native American, India from India, beeping going on like it's being recorded by the government. He's saying he's from the Social Security office and that my Social Security number has been used in a crime.
Starting point is 00:18:30 And then he starts to go on and on. He needs my back. How would it have been used in a crime? He said my thing was used to rent a car and that car now has blood in it and drugs and it's sitting on the Mexican border. A blood drug car on the Mexican border? Even saying it right now, I realize how stupid it is.
Starting point is 00:18:46 But in the moment, when the phone is beeping, when the guy is, he, I got to give him credit. As far as an improv guy, the guy's unflappable. He was hanging in there hard, and you were on a field trip. It's better than Harvey Korman. He wasn't breaking. I'm on a field trip with my kids. I'm freaking, with my daughter. I'm outside of this field trip.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I'm freaking out. I start to give the guy my bank information and my social security then of course i you know thankfully had life lock and went nuts in terms of trying to put in barriers and whatnot once i realized everything that was going on everyone's telling me get off so since so since you did that because i don't just answer the phone i just ignore anything that but like now now i answer the phone and go after them. I'm like, Hey man, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:19:28 Yeah. Well, Oh, there's a cocaine car with my cocaine. Hey, can you say it louder? Cause the cops who are on the line and then they hang up and then I call back and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:19:36 Hey man, what happened? Yeah. You just, and then they hang up on you again and you hang a call back and you'd be like, here's the deal. You're done.
Starting point is 00:19:43 You're finished. I know you probably don't care about this and you're just trying to make money, but you made a huge mistake getting into this business because now your life is over. Every choice you made, you can't threaten it. I was like, don't look, don't look over your shoulder, bro. And I will be there with a broken piece of glass. I'm going to shove it into the back of your neck. I'm not going to kill you, but I'm going to make it so you can't walk anymore. Let me just say, there was a moment two years ago where
Starting point is 00:20:10 someone said there was a car with cocaine and blood in it at the Mexican border and it is somehow linked to you and I thought to myself, I got to get out of this. Suddenly, I was like Harrison Ford in The Fugitive. I didn't kill my wife! I'm standing on a drain pipe with a 100-foot drop,
Starting point is 00:20:26 and I'm just like, it's now or never. I was in it deep. So old people, watch out, because they're coming for all of us, specifically you, and this happened the other day. If something comes up and someone accuses you of anything in these moments. Yesterday, a Brookville, this is on Thursday,
Starting point is 00:20:44 so this is dropping on Monday, so last week, a Brooksville, Florida man, of course this happened in Florida, received a COVID-19 relief check from the government for $3,000 in the mail. Okay. The bill had not been passed yet,
Starting point is 00:20:59 but this guy's getting a check in the mail, which, by the way, it's not coming in the mail. Just like the Social Security office will never call you, they will send, by the way, it's not coming in the mail. Just like the Social Security office will never call you. They will send you a letter. So it's not coming in the mail. It's going to be added to your tax relief when you're taking off of whatever you owe on your tax. So you're not even going to get the money. But the $2.2 trillion thing hasn't even passed yet.
Starting point is 00:21:20 And then it said on there, call a number on the accompanying letter to continue to claim relief checks in the future that's the beginning they're like oh i get to keep claiming you just have 3 000 we're gonna keep claiming stuff so when a local news station kudos to the i mean i'm assuming the person walked the letter over to the local news station or just did whatever they called them. They probably took a photo. On a landline. Yes, on a landline. Connected to the wall, called the local news station, which they probably had on speed dial.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Right. That probably like the local news station, this person in Brooksville, Florida, is like right above one of their uncles. Yes. In the list of things. That's right. In the list of the nephews.
Starting point is 00:22:06 That's right. So they called him up and the local news station called this number and what they realized it was a number for a trucking and carport business.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Ooh. That's exactly the type of people who do this stuff. A trucking and carport business. To me, if someone says,
Starting point is 00:22:21 what are you in? What kind of business are you in? But doesn't that give it away? What kind of business are you in good trucking and carports the mob you're in the mob yes you are in the mafia you're trying to you're trying to scam old people it's the same people if it's in florida and it's the mob in florida i'm like these are the mcmillions people did you not see mcmillions okay that's who these people are this is how trying to get your money so that's where we're at fake companies sending out fake relief checks.
Starting point is 00:22:45 So it was a trucking company. So that you would then give all this other information. But even if it came up that it was a trucking and carport, why would you give your information to them? I don't know if she gave this person or he gave it. No, no, I'm just saying, but that to me is where this story falls apart. Because if they called that number and it came up as a trucking and carport company, then wouldn't you as saying, oh, sorry, I got the wrong number, I guess.
Starting point is 00:23:11 I'm just trying to collect the money on my check. I'm just saying, two years ago, I was on the phone outside of my kids' field trip. Cocaine car. Cocaine car at the board. And I was like, how do I get down there and stop this? Who died? You thought you were in Breaking Bad. That's right. i'm like how
Starting point is 00:23:26 do we how do we erase this who am i thrown into a bucket of acid to make this thing go away that's literally what i started with here i wish i mean i i haven't started watching game of thrones yet because i just don't need to jay you need to two episodes a day i could be through this by the time this thing ends yeah and any question 80 episodes i don't know 100 it through this by the time this thing ends. Yeah. What are they, like 80 episodes? I don't know. 100? It's a bunch. Not 100. And they're like an hour and a half each?
Starting point is 00:23:50 I mean, here's the thing. Old person sees a letter come from the mail, they're like, got to be official. Yeah. It has to be official. Because that's how they grew up. That's right. I got a letter. Be careful.
Starting point is 00:24:01 We are debunking everything on this show today. Purell, fake relief checks. My baby, she wrote me a letter. I wonder if they could reboot that song, update it, and say, my baby, she wrote me an email. A text or an email. All right, I want to talk about this story, because this happened, Jay.
Starting point is 00:24:17 Cristiano Ronaldo. It's in the world of sports. If you don't know who Cristiano Ronaldo is, he's one of the most famous. He and Lionel Messi are the two most famous. Well, they're in the debate. They're in this sort of Jordan-LeBron debate of who's the greatest soccer player alive.
Starting point is 00:24:33 And they're actually both playing at the same time. Which is insane. And you could make an argument for either. Portuguese player who plays now for Juventus, which is one of the top Italian leagues. Yes. The Serie top Italian leagues. Yes. The Serie A Italian league. And Juventus usually almost every year-
Starting point is 00:24:51 Makes it to the Champions League. Makes it to the Champions League in Europe. So they have an international fan base, Juventus does. The same way that teams like AC Milan- Inter Milan. And- Roma. Barcelona.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Teams like that around the world. Real Madrid. So he played for Real Madrid. He's from Portugal. Yeah. And he now plays for Juventus. And of course, the Italian soccer teams are the ones that are immediately, as all of Italy gets shut down.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Right. He was said to have just, he kept saying, I got to go visit my mom in Portugal. I want to leave. I want to leave. I got to leave. Who's he saying that to want to leave. I want to leave. I got to leave. Who's he saying that to? To the team.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Don't keep me here. There are going to be no more games. I'm going to go visit my mom in Portugal. To which, what do you got to say? You got to be like, go visit your mom. And I think he donated a million euros, which at this point, because of the market, is worth about $300. A million.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Remember we were in Turkey? And we had 750,000 Turkish lira. That was about 25 bucks. Yeah. I feel like about a million. How do you feel? I feel like a million Turkish lira. So $37? Yeah, basically.
Starting point is 00:25:57 And that's the way we felt a lot of the time when we were there. Yes. But Cristiano Ronaldo donated money there and he's donated money to hospitals. At least he's not a bad guy. But he said, I got to get home. I got to see my mom. And what are you going to say? No. Yes. But Cristiano Ronaldo donated money there, and he's donated money to hospitals. At least he's not a bad guy. But he said, I got to get home. I got to see my mom.
Starting point is 00:26:07 And what are you going to say? No. No. You're not going to go see your mom? So he lets him go. And meanwhile, they told the other players on the team, you can't go. You're not allowed to go. It's Cristiano Ronaldo.
Starting point is 00:26:15 He's player of the year. You got to let him do whatever he wants. So he says, I want to go home. And then he starts posting pictures online. There were pictures posted online. I don't know if it was him posting or people caught him lounging, hanging out by his pool, shirt off. Now this guy
Starting point is 00:26:29 is in insanely great shape. Even for a soccer player, most soccer players are in incredible shape. This guy is like Chris Angel. He's like the Chris Angel of which we've always had, the Chris Angel. You don't need that many abs to do magic. You do not need, and most magicians in Vegas particularly they're vain they they're good
Starting point is 00:26:48 shape they're orange Lance Burton we all know what he looks like sure Chris Angel you only he was too cut too ripped you only need one ab for magic that's right abracadabra that's what we say that's the only ab you need so now he's in trouble you know out, out by the pool. He's upset his team. How is this? Yeah, because they're all like, well, wait, why can't we go? But if I'm him and I have abs like that, let's reverse it. If you did have abs like that, you'd want to show them off. Right. Okay? During a
Starting point is 00:27:16 corona, sequestering a quarantine, at a funeral, at a bris, you'd probably wear a half shirt just to show what you got. Building dedication. Come what you got building dedication come on a building dedication you can't you can't be that guy you're you're not worried about money you're not worried about anything if you have to don't let anyone take your picture that's right or get an indoor pool get an indoor pool or you have enough money to get an indoor. Don't lounge out by the pool.
Starting point is 00:27:45 You got out of your situation just hanging out. If you're not going to go home to visit your mom like you said you were. Or go visit your mom. I want to tell the story about the building dedication, and then we'll get out of here. Okay. Do you remember? So when we were kids, when we were little, probably like what, 10?
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah, 10 or 11. 10 or 11, and we were young young just about to hit puberty i think it was 11 or 12 because our bar mitzvah was one of the last bar mitzvahs at the old synagogue that's right open the new synagogue they opened up a new they opened up a new synagogue that we went to in st louis out out west in st louis by us and broke ground, and they started to build the- They had a cornerstone ceremony. Right, where they did it. Now, our parents around that time, and maybe it's because our parents didn't have a lot
Starting point is 00:28:33 of money. They weren't buying us new clothes every time we grew. We usually wore clothes past the point of when we should have been, because we just needed to make them fit. And they said we were constantly picking at our crotches. Just like pulling out. Pulling underwear out. And I guess the shorts were too small.
Starting point is 00:28:53 And we were just constantly. And our parents, for a brief period of time. 82, 83. Brief period of time. Some of the only communication we'd have with them, stop picking your crotch. Which, by the way, I get that. Stop picking your crotch.
Starting point is 00:29:06 I have an 11-year-old boy, and there are things that I tell him to do. Stop picking your crotch. Stop picking your crotch. And we would, our response back every single time is, we're not. We're not. We're not. We're not picking our crotch. We're not.
Starting point is 00:29:19 So the building dedication. We're not. We were so adamant about not picking our crotch. So the building dedication. We're not. We were so adamant about not picking our crotch. So the building dedication happens, and it happens out west, and there's a photographer to document it. Now, for some reason, why did we feel the need to stand right behind the rabbi
Starting point is 00:29:38 as he dug the first thing of. Well, he was laying a brick into the. Well, he did dig a thing, and then he was laying the first brick into the cornerstone that is... That later became the sanctuary of the synagogue. It was biblical. The cornerstone. Right. Okay? This guy's the cornerstone of our community. Rabbi Lipnick
Starting point is 00:29:56 putting the thing down in there. Okay, and we'll tell one... Stone that the builder refused. Okay. And then we'll tell one Rabbi Lipnick story, and then we're out of here. And so there were pictures of us standing by, again, in the paper. Our response to our parents all the time where they're like, stop picking your crotch. We're like, we're not. We're not.
Starting point is 00:30:12 We're not. We're not. In the local Jewish newspaper, the Jewish Light in St. Louis, there was a picture of this stone dedication. And we are standing behind the rabbi watching him put the brick in and what are we doing picking our both of us like deep so like like three fingers deep into pulling material evidence that they our parents were right and we were wrong just crotch grabbers that's all we were at that time at our crotch and it wasn't even sexual it was just to get relief from clothes that were too small I know Jay, so
Starting point is 00:30:45 Tell this story and then we'll get out of here Alright, Rabbi Lipnick Should we save it for tomorrow?
