Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. Small, small, small Here comes Hayes and Shawn Oh, wow. It looks great. She tells me. Hey! Hey! What up, what up? Welcome to Hollywood Handbook,
Starting point is 00:00:35 an insider's guide to kicking butt and dropping names in the red carpet lineback hallways of this industry we call showbiz. I'm Hayes Davenport. I'm here with Shawn Clements. What up? There's something that sort of caught our eye in this Hollywood business. This is what we talk about. We talk about Hollywood. We talk about the business. Hollywood, the business. We talk about this industry and the
Starting point is 00:00:54 industry is changing. And one of the things that's made that so apparent lately is there are actually TV shows now available to you on one of these online grocery shopping sites. Amazon.com. You've seen these green trucks driving around town. They're not just holding day-old produce. They're now carrying some of your favorite new comedy TV shows. These are shows that you can just watch. You go to www.amazon.com slash product slash TV slash Showtime slash watch dash TV slash funny.
Starting point is 00:01:33 And just download the plug-in. And if your software is up to date and is able to support their specific player, you can start watching part of some of their shows. They've come out with a lot of shows browsers yep uh the internet boys uh but none of those are our favorites no we each picked a favorite after watching all the shows where did we find the time it's nice for me actually because i don't own a tv so the fact that it's right there on my computer was nice. But I love this one show. You might have liked it, too.
Starting point is 00:02:12 It's called Gamma Guys. I love that show. From the online grocery store that brought you Alpha House and Betas is Gamma Guys. betas is gamma guys it's these two dudes who work at a chewing gum factory and the pilot is they've got to come up with a new flavor by midnight or else japan's gonna pull out all their money and so mr nakahashi's on the phone and he's trying different flavors and he's going, most honorable Gamma guys, this flavor stinks. And so then they have to come up with another flavor and another one and his wife's nagging him and the two guys, they bicker. But what I liked about it is underneath the fighting,
Starting point is 00:03:02 you can tell they're really friends. And so many shows they forget to make people likable and they forget to put a little bit of heart in there and that's what makes tv work sorry online shopping store shows not tv for me did you catch Primetime? Ooh, I almost picked that one, I swear. Jealous. Primetime is a show starring Wyatt Cenac as a guy who wins an Amazon Prime subscription in the lottery. And he uses it to become the first guy to kiss every book. Until the trouble begins when his mailman,
Starting point is 00:03:44 played by the very underrated Alison Becker, comes along and he actually starts falling in love with her and he starts to wonder if kissing all the books is really the thing for him. And I, you talk about relatability, Sean, and for me, there was the moment in the pilot when he kissed the scary mystery book and had to hide under his bed.
Starting point is 00:04:07 And you know powerful you know like um a book like frankenstein a book like dracula these are the some of the books that even you hearing the name gives you chills and well then why would you say them oh i mean i try to be professional during the show, but I've asked you not to talk about Frankensteins anymore. Right. How should I say it, I guess, from now on? I should say... Mary Shelley's Monstrous Creation.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I forgot to mention the cast of my show, I realize. Oh, it's in your show. Oh, it's the cast of Inbetweeners. Which one? Oh, it's the cast of Inbetweeners. Which one? The entire cast of the Inbetweeners plays all the characters on Gamma Geist. Right, but there were two.
Starting point is 00:04:57 There was the British one and the one with the American guys. I don't think there was a British one. Oh. You know what I think you're thinking of? Scandal. Scandal was a British show called House of Cards. So those are our favorite Amazon shows. This is a segment that we enjoy doing a lot.
Starting point is 00:05:14 You open a newspaper these days. All you seem to see are these blind items and all the gossip columns and all the blogs. Newspapers are lousy with them. Yes. columns and all the blogs newspapers are lousy with them yes it's when they will describe a salacious event from something that has happened to some celebrity but they don't have the guts to name who the celebrity is so in a way that's why we created this podcast in the first place say the things that the mainstream media will not say. This is a segment called Draw the Blinds Up, where we read some real blind items and we draw the blinds up and tell you who the people involved are and what the scene was because we were there.
Starting point is 00:06:01 And now we're going to start with a blind item from the site Crazy Days and Nights. This is sort of a Hollywood gossip site. This is a real blind item, and it goes like this. This former A++ list politician visited a film set in NYC and spent 45 minutes in a trailer with his main squeeze actress friend. Well, not main squeeze. I mean, the guy is married. No one even bat an eye that the two were spending time alone in her trailer. It was the second time he has visited the set, but the first time the trailer was rocking. Now, Sean, we were there. We were supervising, yes.
Starting point is 00:06:38 And what is the sickness with these gossip lovers? That they will not leave President Jimmy Carter alone. The man builds houses for people with no houses. And what he was doing, by the way, with that girl during the 45 minutes was fingering her. They imply that he was having sex which is couldn't be further from the truth yes uh he was really just finger blasting her yeah he was giving her some deep digit loving and he never once exposed himself no I don't even think he was fully hard. The man's a peanut farmer from Georgia.
Starting point is 00:07:31 He's friends with the Allman brothers. So he's comfortable in the entertainment scene. Wanted to stop by a film set. And can we not take a break anymore? And what film set was that? It was the set of Devil, the elevator movie that M. Night Shyamalan made. It was the new one that he's doing. It's the Devil Went Down to P1.
Starting point is 00:08:01 It's sort of a Charlie Daniels band thing But it's also like the movie Because they are in an elevator And a bunch of people forgot where they parked their car And Satan is moving their car And Jimmy Carter went To give his blessing from the state of Georgia To take this great song
Starting point is 00:08:20 And change the name Georgia to P1 And if he's gonna finger blast Jennifer Lawrence while he's there, who are we to say anything about it? He's the president. So now you know. Next, blind item. This one is from Radar Online. This reality star demanded C-Star Kane from strangers at a house party
Starting point is 00:08:41 during a night out of town away from the prying eyes of his significant other. And now, we were at this party, and demanded is a pretty strong word for what Jimmy Carter did. He asked for some cocaine, I thought, very respectfully. He actually said, where to cocaine at? Which is, literally, it doesn't even necessarily mean that he is going to do it. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:07 He may just want to know where it's located so he can avoid it. Now, as it turned out, he was chopping up big fat fucking gorilla fingers on their mirrored coffee table and schwacking them back in one shot like a total boss. But he didn't demand anything.
Starting point is 00:09:25 It was offered freely after he determined the location. And they call him a reality star because, like we always say, politics is like a reality show. Well, with the 24-hour news cycle these days, everyone's under the microscope. And the way some of these guys behave, it is a reality show. You might as well be on that Flavor of Love or one of those Osborns. I don't own a TV. You'll have to catch me up.
Starting point is 00:09:53 And Night Out of Town, away from the prying eyes of his significant other. I mean, he just finger blasted Jennifer Lawrence at one time. I wouldn't say that she was necessarily a significant other just because of one finger blast. It seems a little premature. Finally, last blind item. This one is from Gawker.com. At the Aspen
Starting point is 00:10:13 Comedy Festival a few years ago, this comedian invited a female comedy duo back to his hotel room. The two ladies gladly joined him and offered him some weed. He turned it down, but asked if it would be okay if he took his dick out. Thinking he was joking, the women gave a facetious thumbs up. He wasn't joking.
Starting point is 00:10:30 When he actually started jerking off in front of them, the ladies decided that that wasn't their bag and made for the exit, but he used his body to block the door until he was finished. This one they actually got right. Comedian was Aziz Ansari. The girls were Garfunkel and Oates. That's Draw the Blinds Up. We have a great guest today.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Damian Fahey is here. He was the host of Total Request Live. He's on Twitter. He does some Hulu hosting. He hosts a radio show. He has a lot to speak on from many different facets of the industry, and that's coming up when we come back on Hollywood Handbook. Hollywood Handbook.
Starting point is 00:11:19 So then I stand up from the couch and I move away and I go. Small, small, small. Small, small, small. Here comes Hayes and Sean. And they're still together. They're still right now, yeah. They're still in that room. Hey!
Starting point is 00:11:42 Hi! What up, what up? Welcome to Hollywood Handbook, an insider's guide to kicking butt and dropping names in now yeah they're still in that room hey what up what up welcome to hollywood handbook and insider's guide to kicking butt and dropping names in the red carpet lineback hallways of this industry we call showbiz exciting guests i really do think we have a very exciting guest today uh damian fahey is here yo we um we have sort of a long history with Damien. Damo. Going back to, I guess when we were on TRL. Yeah. 2003.
Starting point is 00:12:10 2003, that's right. When we did sort of... You guys ushered in the new, the rock rave... Comedy. Comedy, yeah. Rock rave comedy. Rock rave comedy. Tom Green sort of took that, spun that off into Bum Bum Song
Starting point is 00:12:25 yeah we sort of gave him that and went off to do our next thing because we're always sort of morphing our identity don't want to be pinned down but yeah we had that single and video that you probably remember I Make Ye a Canoe
Starting point is 00:12:42 and it's like me and Hayes makey a canoe and then we sinky on the water because we didn't makey it strong enough and that was sort of the beginning of music well it was the beginning of music being associated with visual visual entertainment yeah yes yeah that's right and since then or for a while anyway that was like a really big deal people were doing it uh a lot of people were making images to go with their music albums for a little while had covers that were uh some kind of visual image and damien your job when you were hosting TRL, Total Request Live,
Starting point is 00:13:27 was to go looking for some of the coolest videos and to show them on your TV show. Yes. And that's sort of what you created the show. Yeah, I mean, I was the culture maker. You know, I was sort of pouring the Kool-Aid in the, in the water.
Starting point is 00:13:50 So before me, all you had was water and that was, that's not tasty. And so you put a little something in there and all of a sudden it's a craze. And so that was it. It was, I was sort of doing that, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:02 and I was MTV had come to your complex yes essentially right yeah my production offices yeah yeah and just sort of said what would you do well you know if you could do anything what would you do let's be honest they were not doing well i mean ratings were in the tank when it was just music and no visual element at all uh people said why not listen to the radio? At least that I can move around with. Yes. In television,
Starting point is 00:14:28 back then, now you can carry, we all carry televisions with us. Everywhere we go, it's true. I don't own a TV, but I see people who have them on them a lot.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah. And so back then, you can't carry a television around, so people would say, I have to go to the grocery store but I still want to hear Robert Palmer that's right so this is a problem
Starting point is 00:14:50 and so they came to me well they came to my assistant they called my assistant who called my agent who called another how is Drobny? Drobny your assistant? are you still with him?
Starting point is 00:15:03 I had to let him go. Ooh, hate when that happens. So anyway, long story short, I finally got on the phone with them and with MTV. And they pleaded their case. And they said, look, we're in a pinch here. We need something. People are tired of carrying around their televisions. They're too big.
Starting point is 00:15:20 We need something. People are tired of carrying around their televisions. They're too big. And this was before antennas got – antennas are just getting longer and longer to the point that we can carry these with us. Right. To the store, like you were saying. We can take them in our cars. They're huge. And so what I did was I sat them down.
Starting point is 00:15:39 I actually flew – they flew me out privately even though I've got my you know i've got my whole thing my cessna i'm sure gassed up ready to go at all times but they flew me to new york and they said help us lead us right and they walked me right into a room and they said there was a there was a chalkboard and they said draw what you think is the future and And what did you draw, Damien? I went up to the board, and I drew my name. You drew your name. I drew my name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:13 And then I erased it. Oh. And I said, it's about the element of surprise. Oh, okay. I was going to say, did you mess it up or spell it wrong? I did. A lot of times when I go to Starbucks, they'll spell my name wrong on my cup. I love that. Some funny ones have happened to me.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Damien, I've heard you say Damon sometimes. Yeah, I'll get Damon. Occasionally, when you're telling someone your name, you will mistake it for Damon. Sometimes when I'm telling people my name, I will say Damon. I'll say David sounds similar. I say Jamie. I also said Nathan once. It's not an easy name. I said it on the air, you know, for the first
Starting point is 00:16:52 four years of TRL, everyone thought my name was Nathan Garbanzo because it just came out of my mouth. Wow. But then I watched the tapes and I realized that is not my name. And that's something I wanted to talk about. Always watching your own work. You have to.
Starting point is 00:17:06 What is the thrill? I can't put my finger on it, but what is it that's so thrilling about watching yourself host something or listening to your voice? I get home, I put on my podcast, I get down in the tub, and I've got a bottle of Chardonnay,
Starting point is 00:17:26 and it's just me and my best friend me hanging out. And I can't imagine a more relaxing way to spend an evening. And Damien, like, what's your ritual? I got to know. It's really weird. When you were describing yours, it's almost a mirror image of what I do, except mine's a hot tub in my backyard. Needs more room.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Needs a little bit more room. And what I'll do is I'll just go out there and, you know, obviously the wife will, she respects this ritual. It's a nightly thing. And she retreats to the basement where she belongs. It's her space that I gave her. And I sit in that hot tub and i look up at the stars and i go i feel so small down here you know and yes and then i put i hit play and i go oh i feel big again yeah right i'm one of those yes i'm one of those because we're all i don't know if you guys are
Starting point is 00:18:20 hip on you know science and how that whole thing works. But we're stardust. We're all made of stars. We're all made of stars. And Moby sang that. He did. He came to me for the video, actually. And I said, stars also means celebrities. It's another word for celebrities.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Put celebrities in the video. Thanks, Moby. Wow. What are some other videos that people came to you for? Ooh, please do dish. Well, I remember the first time. This is a little crazy because I do remember the first time Snoop and Dre rang me up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:57 And they said, oh, you know, we want to do, we've got this great track. We've got this great track. We don't have much of a budget. And I said, but guys, you do have cars and you do have a neighborhood and Hey, you also got big booty hoes. Yeah. And you taught them about sharking and I taught them about sharking. Yeah. Which became, became something of a phenomenon a little bit. yeah. Around the Long Beach community. Why don't you teach Engineer Frank about sharking right now, Damien?
Starting point is 00:19:29 Which one is Frank? He's the... Heavyset? Yes, he's the less heavyset one. Sharking is basically going out into the ocean and finding the biggest, baddest shark and fighting it to the death. Does that make sense? He's nodding his head. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:19:47 I don't think Frank gets it, but I certainly do, and most of our listeners probably will. And it could be a metaphor. I don't think so. So you make Total Request Lives, and you... I created it. Yes, you make that, and you are showing music videos, but there's still one ingredient missing, isn't there?
Starting point is 00:20:09 Yeah, well, we were showing the videos. Isn't there, Nathan? It's not that anymore, but I understand why you'd say that. But it was 13-year-old girls is what I realized was the missing ingredient. So I said, fill the studio with 13-year-old girls and have them screaming for these artists that they enjoy. And what I learned, this is so interesting, because you would never know this unless I did this.
Starting point is 00:20:35 But 13-year-old girls are actually a lot more sexually mature than we give them credit for as a society. And I'm not talking about legality. The law is the law. None of us have broken it. We operate within the law. But Hayes and I have talked about this. We've spent a little time talking
Starting point is 00:20:56 about this. And just where they come up with this number 18. 18, you know? It's just like 1 and 8. Just like where do they get just like these two numbers out of the hat or something? It's just imaginary, you know? It's probably the only case where random is bad. Because I always say random when I like something.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Totally. Comedy wise. But in terms of just a random number, it's like if you're going to pick any number, you know. It just could have been any. Then it could have easily been 13 or 15 or anything. Right. Because if you look at the science and when girls reach their peak of sexual productivity. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:35 You know, like if we are trying to perpetuate the human race, I think we should look at the science every once in a while. We want to make more star stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I think we should look at the science every once in a while. We want to make more star stuff. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:49 And if you go back to ancient Rome, if you study the history books. Hayes loves ancient Rome. I've done a lot of reading about ancient Rome, and it was illegal then to have sex with a girl if she was over 15 years old. Okay, and these guys built the aqueduct. They built the aqueduct. They built the aqueduct. You know, this is, they founded democracy. We seem to think that was a pretty good idea. Why did we choose that one? You're still using that one.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Right, or the other one. You can't cherry pick. It's just crazy. And if you read your Shakespeare, we're reading that in schools these days. Hayes loves Shakespeare. Juliet. Yes. That girl was six years old.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Right, and people don't get that. And people, we just have these blinders on where we're like, oh, you know, that's true love. But only if she's some imaginary age. Well, it's just, and I've met, and I've met, I mean, personally, I've met, just in my travels, you know, just in my own life, personal experience. just in my travels, you know, just in my own life, personal experience, I've met 25-year-old women who have no right, who have no business being anywhere near a boudoir. No.
Starting point is 00:22:54 They can't handle it. They can't handle the emotions involved. And by the same token, I've met girls who are, let's say, under 18, who, were they to so choose, they would be mature enough to handle that kind of thing. And so I just don't understand. It's like, why is it not case by case? Right. We're not saying that underage girls should be forced to have sexual...
Starting point is 00:23:11 Never. Never. Disgusting. And the idea of doing that step all at once is crazy. How would that even work? No, you don't just jump in the deep end of the pool. You'll drown. But let's get our toesies wet.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Let's get our toesies wet in the shallow end and say something like, okay, well, there's an interview or something that you go through. And we sort of give them a stamp or whatever or a different colored bracelet they can wear. Or a different colored bracelet they can wear that indicates, hey, I'm one of the ones who's sort of cool. Now, Damon, you went through this discovery while you were hosting the show. I did. And I understand that events related to this decision you made sort of led to the end of TRL and of showing music videos on MTV?
Starting point is 00:24:06 Well, let's be clear before I get torpedoed here by that line of questioning. Sure. First of all, people come up to me and apologize, and they feel bad that the show ended. Sure. You know, I think they feel bad that I'm not on television anymore, but I feel like it's more of a selfish thing for them because when I was on television, it was a very wonderful hour of looking at me,
Starting point is 00:24:31 which they know, which was snatched from them, you know, quite suddenly when I decided to end the show on my own accord. Yes. You want to, in this business, and yes, it's a business. Entertainment a bit entertainment entertainment yes for the layman's out there who don't know because if you don't know don't judge you have to go out on top yes
Starting point is 00:24:55 you have to go out on top and i was standing on a pile of money i was standing on a pile of money. I was standing on a pile of women. And I just decided to pull the plug. I said, life is too good. It cannot get any better. And people make a big deal about Vince Jillian doing what he did and ending Breaking Bad at sort of its peak. But it's like, it feels kind of like, where do you get that idea? Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Damien freaking did that when he canceled TRL, when that was on top, and so that just makes me so mad sometimes at Vince Jillian when he's in those interviews and he's not saying that. Now, you ended the show in 2009. I did. Is that right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:41 You said at the time it was precipitated by Susan Boyle's song and that being the end of music. Yes, because an ugly woman cannot sound good. Yes. Do you understand that? Yeah, yeah, I get it. She was not attractive enough for me. And that that would change music in sort of a yes a way that it wouldn't really
Starting point is 00:26:05 be music anymore well in terms of how you think of it you've got the voice what's the concept behind that I want to hear the voice before I see so I don't judge right which is terrible because that's why there haven't been many success stories people want a pretty face many success stories. People want a pretty face. And Susan Boyle, God bless her, she comes from those stony fields of the UK,
Starting point is 00:26:29 and I'm sure she can milk a cow really well with those big paws. But when it comes to singing on a stage, you leave that to the pros. And all of the voice winners, let's be frank,
Starting point is 00:26:41 have been hideous monsters. Yes. What a sick group of freaks. And some of them much too old. Some of them in their 30s. When was the last time you saw a good-looking person in their 30s? It's 13. It's 14.
Starting point is 00:27:00 It's 15. It's 16. It's not 17. It's 13 to 16 is the window that really gets me, America, going. Yeah, assuming they're mature. Right. You know, and internally. They've been stamped.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Because, I mean, I've been in my own experience. I mean, just in dealing with, just in conversation. I've met very young people who feel much older. And I've also met older people who feel very young. Let's cool down with a little trip into the popcorn gallery. Yes, let's. Let's reach inside, pull out a question. Question.
Starting point is 00:27:49 Mmm. Pull out a question. Here's a question for you, Damien, from a fan of either yours or ours. It's probably mine. His name is Scoops, and his question is, Damien, I understand your nickname is the D-Man. How can I get a cool nickname like this? Well, Scoobs is already pretty cool. You can't really do much with that. I could call you Coobs.
Starting point is 00:28:15 I could call you Books. I could call you the S-Man. But at the end of the day, brother, you got to earn it. And would you say Getting your own show on TV Is a No don't even try It's not gonna
Starting point is 00:28:29 It's not gonna happen for you That's helpful advice We need to say that To more of our Listeners Is just It's not gonna happen It's healthy to dream
Starting point is 00:28:40 Unless you are Good Oh if you're good Yeah Yeah But if you're not good i can't tell you the number of people i see who aren't any good i mean just mind-blowing they're everywhere d-man do you come across that they're everywhere they're everywhere i'm always happy when i see them doing something like uh mopping floors i yes if they're mopping up in a toilet room, then I go, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I see some of these girls my daughter does tap with. Oh, boy. It's like they let anyone onto the stage. They do these recitals, and at the end, what do they do? They hand out the trophies. You know what I mean? Everybody gets a trophy
Starting point is 00:29:26 now. And some of these girls are fucking shit at tap. Yeah, but you can't say that because it's like the thing we said earlier. And what's so dangerous about that too is you don't find out what you're good at if you get rewarded for every activity.
Starting point is 00:29:42 That's part of the reason that we actually have trophies mean something. Calm down, Sean. Calm down. If I'd gotten a trophy for vacuuming floors, then that might have been what I pursued. You're no good at vacuuming floors.
Starting point is 00:29:56 I'm terrible at it. I admit it. I can't do it. I don't have the vision for it. But I can make movies. I can star in movies. I can write movies. I can direct movies. Here's a question. It's at the way bottom of the bag.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Let me just reach in and get it. I know there's another piece in here. Yes. This question is from Toby Keith Sweat. Yes. This question is from Toby Keith Sweat. Damien, you were a guest on Cupcake Wars once. My question is, how did you keep from eating every freaking cupcake in that joint? Well, it wasn't easy, and who said I didn't? Ho, ho, ho, ho!
Starting point is 00:30:40 Slam dunk! So, uh... Bazinga! It's the facial. Let me just reach back in one more time for one more question. Yeah. This one is from Freya in Sweden. Damien, can you...
Starting point is 00:30:58 Right off the bat, I already don't like your name. Speak on that. It's a sound. It's not a name. Do you want to hear this question or just no? I want to hear the last three words of it and then I'll decide. For each topping? No. Okay. Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Well, D-Man, do you have anything exciting coming up that you want to talk to us about? Well, you guys know about the latest and greatest, which would be, you know, the big, the movie, Russell Crowe and Daniel Day-Lewis. They're directing you in a movie.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Yeah, that's all method, and I'm excited for it. Cannes, film festival. Yeah, and I know you've been in the lab for quite a while cooking up the concept, but if you could give us just one line of dialogue from the film, and don't worry that it's out of context. We know it's going to be rich. But if you could just give us one sentence from maybe the pivotal scene.

Starting point is 00:33:06 but he's got something of an attitude. I know which one. I don't want to say what the attitude is. He's not pleased. That's as much as we'll say. That's enough. Nothing else. And, oh, please make sure to buy the pro version.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Oh, yes. That's important. What are we offering in the pro version this week uh well this week uh you get a signed headphone cord uh from hayes it's very difficult to make out the signature it is a black cord and he did sign it with sharpie marker um but one of hayes's actual headphone cords that he wore during the recording of a podcast.

What is it called? What is it? Bat Out of Hell 3, the meatloaf continuation. And we also want to say a loving goodbye to Engineer Frank, one of our favorite engineers. He is leaving you. I'm sure you'll be hearing. Definitely one of our favorite engineers. He is leaving you. I'm sure you'll be hearing.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Definitely one of our top three engineers. I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot of goodbyes as this month goes on, but he's going to be moving on to other opportunities. I will always remember at the beginning of one of our recordings, I think it was actually this recording, beginning of one of our recordings, I think it was actually this recording, when Frank couldn't get the music to play, and it was because he had the input and output jacks confused. I'll remember it differently.
Starting point is 00:35:16 I'll always remember the time when we were recording with Frank. It may have actually been this recording, when he didn't know to lower the music so that we could talk over it, as we've done for basically the past 50 podcasts we've recorded. Just those little touches that you remember about someone when you work with them for this long. And we love you, Frank. We love you, Frank. Everything going smoothly around here is going to be a difficult transition. I have a hard out, by the way,
