Did you ever take the 83 bus from like right around Chinese like behind Chinese man into
Denver? Yeah, of course.
You know where the last stop was on that bus? No, Montbello. And I fell asleep on it one
time and woke up Parker and a Rappaho. The last stop on if you didn't get off in Denver
at Civic Center, it went on to Montbello and I fell asleep on there one time and woke
up and was
like, where we're not in Colorado.
Yeah, dude.
That's the every black in Colorado.
I would just put them all around up of the mountain time.
So it's just the billips family.
That's like the New York equivalent of when I fell asleep on the four train.
Yeah.
I woke up in the South Bronx.
I was like, well, uh-oh.
Well, you throw your wallet out of Well, uh-oh comes to mind.
Uh-oh comes to mind.
By the way, if you don't want a Denver-centric episode,

Don't knock your watch some other stuff
because I'm telling you right now,
having Sam Talent here on my podcast,
I just want to talk to you about all the stuff in Denver.
Me too, dude. I was hoping you would do it.
I mean, he did bust out the, the Broncos Jersey.
I thought it was a modern Mecklenburg, which is a cool. It's a good eye.
And hey, hey brother, can we just take a moment? Randy Gratt of Shars in the hall.
So he is with, you know, what?
I know that doesn't matter for you with Patrick Willis. Yeah. Okay.
All right. Let's not start doing that. Oh,

orange crush figurehead. Those guys who are your dad's friends. Oh,
dude,
just smashing into people. I don't know what my dad's going to talk about now.
Oh,
really? Because that's all he would ever like. I'd be like, was that his Pete Rose?
Yeah. Yeah. He's like, Radish Shars on the hall. He had 204 tackles a year for
10 years straight. Dude,-school Bronco fans just being like Craig Morton
Before Tom Jackson was yapping his mouth on ESPN. He was running a 3-4 D before anyone else
Welcome to the 5-2-8. This is gonna be heavy Colorado top. You're Lewis. I'm floor wax

Okay, good stepdad. Yeah was like a

Load like he lived in downtown like near Capitol Hill, which is the coolest thing you can do not back then though
This is no, but I mean like I knew a couple dudes whose dads would break up with like their moms and then move down to like five points
Yeah, and you get to go hang out down there and be like, what?
They run around the alleys.
You guys had jazz?
Yeah, all this time.
What's all this flavored food?
Yeah, what is that?
It's like red chili, but it smells a little bit better.
It was, but dude, yeah, this is gonna be so Colorado.
KTCL was cool.
That's where I learned about Oasis for the first time.

They were the modern rock alternative.
A lot of sex and candy nonstop.
Yeah, Marcy playground constantly being played.
Yeah.
I remember going, they did an annual show at Red Rocks.
Mm-hmm.

No, it was the summer one.
Yeah, yeah.
You remember Nick Cage?
Of course.
Yeah, he was...
I met him when I was in high school and I was like,
I want to do radio because I wanted to do comedy and radio.
And he was like, yeah, it's all being,
it's all being phased out by computers.
And I was like, nah, really?
That's all his voices I can do though.
And he was like, sorry kid.
He really did like to stay away.
And then I moved to Tucson and got into radio.
I was like, fuck that K-Hitch, I'm a Liu Kang guy.
Liu Kang.
I was like, I'm a Kano.
Hey, you can do Liu Kang, but don't do the voice.
All right, there's still terrestrial radio.

I gouging. I, and you're like, that's, that was a Asian warrior.
This one up and down the face.
Fatality.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yiddish fatality.
So you grew up in Elizabeth, Eastern Colorado, the forgotten maligned part of our beautiful
Centennial State.
It is crazy how a Colorado does not start till it's Denver.
Doesn't give a shit.
If you're from, if you're from the Denver area, I'm from Aurora.
Colorado doesn't start until you hit Denver.
No, no, and then it ends once you hit like 120th.
And then I think it ends even once you,
before Parker and all that,
like where comedy works south is,
I don't count Greenwood villages Denver.
That was crazy because my whole life
was watching that get built up.
Cause living in Aurora, you watched it like grow and grow.
Now all my friends I grew up with, not all of them,
but a lot of them live in Parker.
Yeah.
Live in.
Everyone lives in Parker.
Yeah.
And I fucking hate Parker, bro, because I'm from Elver County.
Oh, yeah.
I have like nothing but blood that I want to spill in Parker.
You have contempt for them.
Oh, yeah.
Because you remember when there's farm boys.
Well, they were never farm boys.
We were farm boys.
And then we'd go over there to go to see a movie
before the Chinese man opened. a parker yeah which is
also our movie a bro I know that's where the confluence it all old school
yeah ours before that was actually near where David Borey lived Hamden and
seven Hills movie theater old one that was over there and then when they opened Chinese Man, everyone was like,
it lights out, dude.
Dude, it brought all the kids
from all the surrounding areas.
This is a great place to lurk and like scrape resin.
Yes.
And then just like chill in borders for four hours
before the movie.
Oh my God.
I got caught sneaking into a movie there
with my friend Calvin Beeman.
Well, classic Calvin move.
Dude, Calvin first off, Calvin was all state baseball player, so he was going to get away.
Are you playing in real sports?
Oh, Calvin.
Yeah.
Um, so you were in Elizabeth.
I didn't know Elizabeth and Parker hated each other.
I think that we hated them and then they don't think about us at all.
It was the mad man in the elevator meme.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They didn't lose any sleep thinking about E town.
What high school did you hate?
Ponderosa?
Ponderosa was closest to us, but I hated Chaparral.
Chaparral, who?
Didn't they get really good at football
when Dave Logan went there?
I think so.
Dave Logan, who now coaches at Cherry Creek.
A dynasty in high school, Colorado high school football.
White and blue.
Yeah, dude.
The Creek Mystique, my cousin Oliver plays for him right now.

But on Arapaho Road, Bennett's barbecue,
my friend's older brother and his friend worked at Bennett's.
And John Elway would go in there
because it was right by the Broncos facility.
Yeah, yeah, by Dove.
And he'd just pound, beers and smoke marble lights.
Smoke sticks, dude, yeah.
I have a bunch of friends.
Everybody in Denver knew that about Elway.
Well, I had buddies who would work at Elway's, restaurant in the Creek which that that opened after I left sure yeah when you abandoned us
To go down to Arizona
What a tough decision you come back to Colorado and tell us about New York and we'd be like really you can do two sets of night

I've always looked up to you, but sincerely, but fucking.
So your buddy worked in the sun.
Oh, they'd work there.
And then, you know, it was like midnight,
it would shut down.
And then Elway would come down from wherever
gilded box he lived in upstairs and be like,
no one's leaving till I get a Marlboro red.
And eventually my buddy would keep a fresh pack
of Marlboro's on him, but he would also smoke Marlboro's
and then he would offer Elway one.
He's like, I need a seal pack.
What?
Yeah, yeah.
Damn dude, he was-
He would have to make a run to get him fresh ciggies.
And just he would just come to the restaurant
and ask for a cigarette.
Yeah, and like play pool and shit.
That's it's still John L. Way.
Oh, he's the man.
Well, here's the thing that no one talks about John L. Way.
Everyone, his old lady got sick and got that claustomy bag

You know, there's like the King Supers and then a kitty corner
There's a target with an Arby's in the parking lot one time
My friend and I were smoking a bowl in my car and watched a guy kick the shit out of his kid in an Arby's
parking lot. No. And we had to be like hey hey like honk our horn. Yeah. But we
were smoking weed so we were like like out of a tin little pipe. Uh-huh. And we're

Can I get you some curly fries?
That might bring everyone together.
I'll put all the sauces in the bag.

Talk about the flat irons at least. Yeah, Jesus, bring up. Well,
let me ask you this. Where what are your confines of Denver in your head?
What do you think is Denver? I'll tell you mine Alameda to the south. Yeah.
All right. And then Bruce Randolph to the North, and then I 25 to the West, and then I say Colorado,
but recently I've said Monaco to the East.
That's my idea.
I think Monaco, absolutely, I don't go as far as to say
Colfax.
Well, Colfax runs East-West.
That's what I mean.
All the way, I would say that's like the most South,
Colorado, Denver to me runs like,
I'd always felt like when we went
north of Colfax okay it was like we're in Denver yeah okay no matter where like
you had to be across Colfax to be in Denver yeah it was like if you bumped up
to Colfax that everything else south of that felt like oh that's Aurora sure and
then everything north of that was Denver right West honestly because we were
coming from the east,
everything from Arvada felt like Denver.
You go all the way to Boulder and you're like,
I don't know, does this still count?
Like, you know what I mean?
Dude, Franktown felt like Denver to us.
Yeah, we're coming from-
We're going on a wagon train.
How long did it take you to get to Aurora from Elizabeth?
It's closer than Denver, probably like 40 minutes.
That's crazy.
Yeah, because you can take Delbert road all the way in.
Yeah. So kids from buyers would be like, oh, we're from Aurora.
Yeah. Oh, sure.
Is this relating with you? You know all about rural Colorado, right?
Yeah. This season, New York kid. Yeah. It is. Well, it's crazy.
It's interesting. It's not funny, but it's interesting.
People put on podcasts just so they don't have to think about their own lunch.
Yeah. Yeah. So they're not going to cut their thighs. People from Colorado are just so they don't have to think about their own lives. Yeah, yeah.
So they don't cut their thighs.
People from Colorado are going to shit at this first.
Oh, yeah.
They're going to be like, I know that.
I know that.
They're going to crash their Subaru's into Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Oh, come on.
Do my mom's boyfriend Joe bought a Subaru.
It was the most disappointed I've ever been when someone said they were leasing a car.
Why, how did she just date these men for for regional cars?
Dude, it's all the auto trade. Yeah, we used to call her auto trader. Yeah, Kelly blue book
She buys low she sells low, you know my mom took the Kelly blue book value probably get you two dinners in a weekend
Yeah, but leaving Denver and then coming back and like,
cause I left for college when I was 18
and I went to Arizona and come back.

And also, it's pure fear.
She's like, I'm prey, you're a predator.
Oh, yeah.
If it was the smallest man and a giant woman,
he'd be like, let me climb all over you.
Oh, for sure.
You'd be like a little spider monkey.
She's like the baby bird that cleans the hippo's teeth.
She eats meals out of his gums.
He's like, can you go back here behind my ear and she's just back there?
Yeah.
We should all have a tiny companion.
Dude, what do you think mean Sharpie?
We're so close.
Sharpie get my back.
He was your speed and you're his power.
We used to do a gag called taking up space with Sam and Chris
where he would like stand in a doorway and then I would stand in a doorway
and it'd be completely occupied. Oh that's wow. So
this is this is the world's shortest man meets the legiest woman. It means
Princess die. I mean yeah for real look at those yeah. I can't because you're
being perverse and not sharing a thank you Dan. God who's sludge. He looks like
it looks like a mad TV. He's not people or a mad magazine. Yeah, who's sludge? He looks like it looks like a mad TV. He's not peeper
mad magazine. Yeah, that's Mr. Mustapelistic from Superman. You say his name
back where do you get a wish? I really thought it was Isle of Dr. Moreau also
give me all of that. Yeah, yeah, word. You're a big boy. Oh yeah. You would take
down the legiest woman easy. I betted a volleyball player once and then two weeks
later I betted a ballerina.
And you couldn't have had lower payloads
in either of those girls.
Really?
Oh my God, yeah, that ballerina would walk around
on the tips of her toes for the first hundred steps
of the day, and just be like a trail of blood
all over the apartment.
Oh my God.
Yeah, it was one of my first girlfriends in Denver.
I don't wanna say girlfriend.
Lover.
She took me in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
She bought me breakfast.
I don't think you need to speak of yourself
like you're Frankenstein.
Living outside of a hovel.
Well, she did chase me into that bell tower.
Yeah.
I watched her and learned language
from how she interacted.
She taught me shapes.
Now I know where the sun goes at night.
I used to just get confused and scream at the sky.
Give it back.
But then old bloody toes
Tommy was going. Tommy took a big nap. But you do you want to you don't you want to stay in Denver?
No I wouldn't move to Paris. I'd move to Paris tomorrow if I could. Really? Yeah. That's where
you'd how do you watch Bronco games? At 4 a.m. You would get out. I'd be alone in the bar.
Dude.
This man, he comes around, he cheers for these pennies.
They are like horse people.
They are horses, but they run together.
Yes, and they're like.
My favorite part of Bronco games was,
is Thunder still around?
Thunder rules.
Yeah, well, is it like Thunder 5?
Yeah, I don't think Thunder's lived forever.
Yeah! What is that?
You're telling me that Pat Bowlin didn't give that horse
a cloak of invincibility.
They actually put Pat's soul into the horse.
It's like a Crang situation.
This is a voodoo shaman.
It's like Adonaza.
We stab Bowlin lives in the horse now.
It was Pierre Paul.
That's so funny.
They brought him over.
I love that.
So when I would go to Broncos games, my favorite thing was the Broncos would
score a touchdown and then they'd have an actual Bronco run around the stadium.
The big flag.
It would shit all the time when horses can poop when they run coolest part about
horses, if you ask me.
And they were just,
they're live the muscles or the grace.
Giant dong.
It's dumping on the go
Hello God, can we get that feature and not make it liquid shit down our legs?
Just once a solid would be killer God if you got time
I'm busy over there in palace time. Hey, hey, Seuss. I know you're dealing with Rafa right now
But if you can toss me a run and do
appreciate one brown robe
can toss me a run and do one brown rope would be huge, but it would be so funny because the stadium would be just fucking rocking listening to Gary glitter idolizing
a pedophile. Yeah. Oh yeah. Complete, but bring back rock and roll part two. They
haven't gotten away. They it's not gone. I went and saw them lose to the Patriots and get knocked out of the playoffs and they play. Yeah. Yeah. But,
do you know that guy was such a pedophile? He got kicked out of Taiwan.
I did not know that, but I knew he was Thailand too. I think they were like,
guy, come on, we do that here. Hey, if it starts with,
I you're not allowed. All right. If there,
if there's a sex trade industry here, we just, you can't,
well me and Borey are going to Bangkok together in April and Brent Gill.
So they're just going to be following us from the airport.
That group, they're like, come on guys. How many kids are they going to smush?
My favorite SNL sketch that no one remembers was in the Bill Hader years.
And they did a Rosetta Stone and it was Bill Hader and he's like,
I'm trying to learn Thai.
I'm going to Bangkok for a thing.
It was all sexual criminals trying to learn the languages.
I was like, that's such a brilliant sketch.
But yeah, how long are you guys going for?
Two weeks.
Yeah.
It was Bori's idea.
Yeah.
He just wants to go hang out?
Yeah, and we're going to find a Vietnam and then we're taking a river cruise up to Bangkok. Oh, you guys gonna be doing this so so much
I don't get mosquito bites because of my Mexican heritage
Recorder Mexican, I don't get bites. Is that is that what you tell yourself?
So my grandma told us your abuela if your abuela tells you that then it's true No tienes una... What a troopa de mosquito.
She was like, look at me.
No mosquito will ever bite you.
Oh, and you don't want to learn the language
because it's for dogs.
Please, you'll never get a real job
if you learn the language.
Grandma, I don't want a job.
I want a job so bad.
You are my little sludge child.
Your name in Spanish means slush.
Slush.
Your slush.
I regret not learning Spanish so fucking bad living in Colorado.
I just completely go, I'll do French, you fucking moron.
Yeah, dude, what were you thinking?
I think friends of mine took it in seventh grade.
They took French and I was like, I'll go with them.
It's a sexier language, but you can't use that on federal.
No, you cannot. No. No, you cannotier language, but you can't use that on federal.
No, you cannot. No, you cannot. Dude, have you been to federal recently, gotten some Vietnamese pho?
No. Oh my God, I'll put our pho up against anywhere.
Really? Dude, over there at like Tennessee, right by Star Kitchen.
There's a place called Golden Bowl, dude.
Listen, if you're in Colorado, please.
I don't know, man.
Here's the thing I like about Marcus.
I'm not going to talk to anyone about this shit. I did want to know about John L. Weasby's house. Oh, yeah. We'll get know, man. Here's the thing I like about podcasts. I'm not gonna talk to anyone about this shit.
I did wanna know about John L.W. Beach House.
Oh, we'll get to John L.W. Beach House,
but real quick, Golden Bowl.
Clear schedule.
Clear schedule, Golden Bowl, off federal.
Mm-hmm, yeah, it's just excellent.
And they do the blood cake bun-bow-way.
Yes, Ari Shafir and I talk about this all the time.
If there are local businesses,
you should absolutely shout them out on podcasts.
Because you have no idea who's listening
and who might actually go give them business.
I want them to put my,
dude, if I can get my fucking picture hung up
in Pete's kitchen, I've made it.
Oh, you could get that done.
I think so.
If I was going wearing this jersey,
Pete's like, oh, he's a Bronco.
Oh, Pete's kitchen, fucking rules.
It's okay.
There's a lot of sentiment that is in our memories.
It's like Steubens.
Steubens is not, you can't compare the two.
I liked Steubens growing up.
Steubens is good, yeah.
I mean, it was like the best restaurant we had.
Yeah, that's why, but back then.
And then now I go and I'm like, wow,
and everyone's like, we've got, what?
Yeah, going to A's.
When you move from a place,
when you move from a place and you come back to it,
you're still stuck in that year.
So I have comics, like Big J was at Comedy Works
and he's like, dude, where should I go eat? I'm like I can give you a 01 Rex. Yeah
What are you telling like Sam's number three? Well, that's the place right by the comedy one eats at Sam's number three
But I told him like
Illegal Pete's if you can get it, you know, you know that burrito chain that's in eight different states
This guy knows Denver. I don't I don't know it. This fucking guy got me well. I love you, but come on Yeah, but I don't really know this is swollen Valor all I want all I want good times burger

It was at the good times did bush of first time I ever did mushrooms when I was 16 was at the good times.
Did mushrooms the first time I ever parked in Manow's Mall?
Really?
Yeah.
I used to work at that Red Robin.
Dude, I would do that Red Robin all the time.
Really?
I was a busboy.
When were you working there?
From 99 to 01.
Okay, I bet I was there in 01.
I mean, Christmas there was hell.
Yeah, I bet.
If you work at a restaurant near the major mall,
Christmas season is your Vietnam.
Yeah.
And like the way they would breach up,
the way they brief us is they'd be like,
it's going to get bad around two.
It's going to get worse around five,
around seven o'clock, you're going to want to kill yourself.
Tell Scott if you need a smoke break,
and just go back out by the trash compact.
We used to take the food runner trays for Red Robin,
and when it was snow, there was that hill.
Down the hill.
Yeah, we'd go up there on our smoke breaks
and fucking fly down.
Oh, that's just good old-fashioned fun, man.
Yeah, it was fun.
Yeah.
Red Robin sucked to work at, but we got free food.
All the fries you can eat.
And a lot of cute girls would come in.
It's a high school boy, You're like, this rules.
Parkman was mall was a feeding ground.
Yeah.
It went in open because we're,
I was in Aurora mall boy up until eighth grade.
Mm hmm.
And then part.

Mr. Rags.
You're all in mall, baby.
If you want to go to the only successful store,
there's a lids.
Yeah.
There's a lids and a black eyed P.
It's crazy.
You go to the Royal mall.
That's why when the shooting happened there,
you're like, I don't even think anyone went there anymore.
And everyone's like, yeah, this guy killed everyone
at the Century Plaza.
He shoot a bunch of pigeons?
Yeah.
Why does everyone make this a big deal?
And you're like, no, people are still going there.
Wow, are people buying grills?
Yeah.
Was it Juneteenth?
Yeah.
But Park Meadows opened up and everyone was like,
It was night and day.
There's the wall.
They erased all history previous.
But that's where all,
like kind of like we were talking about
with the Chinese man movie theater.
It attracted kids from everywhere.
So you got the Cherry Creek kids,
you got Smoke Hill kids, Eagle Crest kids,
kids from Elizabeth fires.
You got the Elizabeth kids in their leather jackets
walking around with a chip on their shoulder
and no one knows where they're from.
Are you from, is that even in Colorado?
What is that?
What, are you guys from like Eaton?
Is that Eaton?
No, Elizabeth, go Cardinals.
But dude, at Park Meadows Mall was like, working at that Red Robin was where I got into a lot
of shit.
Sure.
I was like buying weed from people that worked at Earl's or like the people that would come,
you know, my friends got hired at the Costco by there and they all got fired because of
their cloudy piss.
How cloudy is a man's piss?
You smoke weed, you're gonna come out a little cloudy.
There's roaches floating in there.
That's a Simpson's joke.
Oh, I didn't.
Oh, I didn't even realize that.
But John Elway, as homeless pimp has brought up,
John Elway had a home in Cancun
where it was revealed that he was flying down
collegiate volleyball players.
I think it was soccer and volleyball.
From Northern Colorado, which is in Greeley.
Yeah.

We used to go to Park Meadows and take drugs, take ecstasy.
We would buy off the hilltop apartments in Parker from Russian guys and then go over there.
And one time there was a very, very attractive blind girl and I don't know
if David Borey was there, but I think Clay DeHaan was there and I was like,
oh yeah, I'm from, I'm from Elizabeth. I'm a swimmer and she was like,
really? And I was like, yeah, touch my abs and then I held up and she touched
my fat pale belly and then she was like you and then we laughed really hard, but I was very upset. Yeah, I thought it
would work as like a funny like pickup line, but she like oh yeah. This guy's
funny. You know why? Because you were in high school and that level of maturity
with humor, right? She was just reacting viscerally. Well, yeah, it was also like
she put her hand on a blindfold on and do like a jar of brains. And you're like, Oh, it's spaghetti. Yeah. It's just cold
spiel grapes. Don't worry. It tell him it's high. It's my ass. She goes, Oh my God,
were you in a horrific accident? Yeah, what happened? That's so funny being like,
yeah, I'm pretty jacked. You probably put your hand on me. Yeah, what happened to
you, Samuel? A terrible accident.
I ate that muscular man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Or he's inside of me.
Yeah, that's the thing you don't want
is the part of mask where she feels his face.
Oh, God.
And she goes like, oh.
Pass.
Yeah, dude.
It's real hard to turn people down when you're blind.
I know, she was so hot.
You seem so nice.
Oh, fuck.
Ew. And they go like that. After they touch you, they go, yeah, fuck. I know, she was so hot. You seemed so nice. Oh, fuck. Ew.
And they go, after they touch you, they go, fuck.
I got it on me.
Where am I?
And Arby's touching the roast beef?
She checks your teeth like you're a dog.
Like a horse.
Yeah.
I don't know.
You seem good for breeding.
Yeah.
Touching your neck in a weird way.
You could pull a wagon.
Damn, dude, dating a blind girl?
How?
The perfect crime.
How long
would it last until you got like frustrated with her or she'd be like,
what is it? You go the sun's rising over the Rockies. It's great. It looks
like cotton candy. It's heavenly. It makes me believe in God. I don't ask you
what that sound is from a mile away. You hear squirrels running. Can you quit
clicking? Yeah, we're not even in a tunnel. You just put her hand up in
the sky and you go, I don't know, feel it. Yeah, he just catch a vibe.
Let the sun hit your hand. Yeah, I don't know. I'd lie. I'd be like, it's DJ Paul
E. D. Oh, cool. Wow. Oh, I heard about it. She's doing the Stevie one here all
the time.
You're like, stay stationary!
People behind you can't see Mr. Bicentennial Man.
Yeah, dude.
That's gotta be, you wonder if you are abled,
and then you date someone with, who's blind or something.
Well, I have a bunch of blind friends.
Because my wife was the treasurer for the Rocky Mountain
chapter of the National Federation of the blind the NFB
And they're cool and we would like trip mushrooms with them and like have a blast
But what happens when you're blind and you trip mushrooms? Oh, they're there. I wish you could see what I'm seeing
Yeah, it's a big laugh. Yeah, they do a blast. Yeah, shout out Eileen Gallego. Sweet G. She wraps
She's like a 61 year old like very obese grandmother love it
Yeah, and she like rap and like, you know, take drugs.
And she just does mushrooms with you.
She's the best.
And she's just like, do you think they ever get high enough
that they think their vision comes back?
I'm pretty sure they're aware that they've never seen.
But have some of them seen and then like.
You think they have a moment?
Am I seeing again?
Oh, what?
Cause I can't smell, but I've gotten high enough
where I've been like, I think I smell something.

Oh, I bet it's a mess.
Cause they tap around to figure out
the guacamole in the sour cream.
What a murder scene.
It's terrible dude.
What a murder scene.
I was stripping mushrooms one time

They're not gonna need us then all be food. I'm food
You are food Yeah, you are food.

Ah, I'm food.
Yeah, dude.
Do you think after you moved to Paris,
you would ever go back to Colorado?
Will you settle in Colorado?
Because I have a feeling there's a chance I might.
Here's the thing, man, is like,
we have this like idea of buying a home in Colorado
and letting my sister live in it.
I want to buy a house on 7th Street Park,
which is like the nicest part of Denver.
And letting my sister and my brother-in-law live in there.
But at the same time, it's like, if you buy a house,
or like what, fucking buy a condo in the Brooks Towers.
You know what I mean?

That's where my mom's interned. That's where you guys a tree there. That's awesome. Yeah, and my dad, we got her a buckeye tree
because she's from Ohio.
And then my dad got her a plaque

and then my dad pulled the cloth off the plaque
and it says, Betsy Talent,
I'll be seeing you all very soon.

That's very fun.
Yeah, it is.
That's a lot of fun.
Yeah, my dad rules. My grandma is in hospice right now. So it's like this
weird thing where she's dying but still hanging around. It's like she's got her coat on and

My grandpa died, he didn't die in hospice.
He went into hospice because he hurt his foot and he just was like,
I'm good, you know what?
I'll die right here.
My mom's dad and he gathered us all around his death bed and he was like,
Betsy, Julie, it's been an honor to be your father, the truest owner in my life.
And Dave and Tom, thank you so much for taking care of my baby girls
and to my grandchildren.
I didn't know love until you came into my life, but now like George General Patton said do his troops
I fought my last battle go on win your own
Goodbye, then he's laid on his pillow and my mom's like dad my Andrew is like dad and everyone's like freaking out
And I see my grandpa go
He looked around to see if we're still there. He goes, and see.
And then he lived for six more months.
No way.
He came to Thanksgiving that year.
No way.
He gave a goodbye and then showed up and went,
are you guys doing skin on or skin off?
Who did the stuffing?
I wish I would have died when I gave you that speech.
This shit's dry as hell.
That's wild.
Yeah, it was a fun move. Yeah, because there is a feeling,
my grandmother's 97 and I've been talking about it on stage,
but there is this feeling of like, you can go.
Yeah.
There's like, she's 97.
Right.
There's not like a, ah, you gotta stick around
for one more NBA playoff push.
Yeah, what are you gonna do, another I quit match?
Yeah, she's like, I've got a Dan's inheritance
on the line match.
Loser leaves Lakeport.
I am excited to, uh, when she does pass on, I am excited to go to her townhouse.
Yeah.
And just fucking rob it blind.
Well, she robbed, she got me a little bit and I've explained this on the podcast.
She kind of finessed me out of some money.
She said she was having troubles and I kept sending her money.
Yeah.
And then she broke her hip and I saw the bank account and I was like,
bitch, this is more than I have in my bank account.
Yeah.
What the hell?
So grandma's hoarding cash.
I, I, I felt that it was a little too mean, but I kept doing a thing on stage.
And I was like, you really go through your grandmother's townhome differently.
Where you like picking up earrings and you go, yeah, these are mine.
Just putting stuff back in my pirate.
That's real cool. 14 carat there.
Yeah, cause it was wild.
We were like going through stuff and I was like,
no, no, is that expensive?
That's mine.
Fuck that.
My cousin be like, I paid for that.
But it is, it's like weird
cause everyone in my family has died.
Yeah, that's what they did.
Sad, like under 50.
Oh.
So having someone died in natural time, you're kind of like
oh this is this feels. Yeah. Hey, tap out. Yeah. Yeah, have some dignity. Jesus Christ.
How many diapers are you gonna go through grandma? Yeah. We can't go to IHOP anymore,
the changing table's not big enough. Which dude, I took her to about five more than that. 2014, I took her to the second to last game at Candlestick.
Whoa.
So she was 86.
Dude, that was the worst experience of going to sports ever.
It was like carrying a plate of Jello into an NFL stadium.
We were like, watch out, watch out.
Because she was like,
and you got her sat and like, just stay here. And she's like, ah, ah, ah, and you got her sat and you're like,
just stay here.
It's just like, I'm thirsty.
And you're like, shit.
She's like, I have to go to the bathroom.
And you're like, God.
We just sat down.
You know what?
I don't want to break it to you, grandma.
It smells like you went to the bathroom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, I'm going to wring you out.
Since about Oakland, I've thought you did it in your pants.
Yeah, since that last muni stop, I've been on to in your pants. Yeah, since that last Muny stop,
I've been on to you, Gran.
My favorite argument with her was
we were leaving the 49ers game and I was using GPS.
And she was like, go through the city.
She's talking about going through San Francisco,
cause she lived north in Lake County.
I was like, no, Nana, GPS, Google Maps says
we should go east, go through Oakland.
And she was like, I've lived here for 72 years.
And I was like, yeah, this is a satellite.
Yeah.
You're not winning this one.
No, no, you're not gonna argue with Google Maps, Krami.
Yeah, she thought I was gonna be like, oh, okay,
take me the way you used to when all the blacks
lived in Oakland.
Yeah, yeah.
And they're like, she's doing it where it's like,
old timey shit where you're like, that's right, dude.
She said. She's taking the red line droughts that are safe. Yeah, she was doing it where it's like old timey shit. We're like, that's right. Dude, she said she's taking the red line droughts that are safe.
Yeah. This there's no rhythm in blues on this. Daniel, this is a celestial neighborhood.
Do we were dry? I swear to God, that same trip we were driving to the stadium
and the windows down and I've told the story before, but this woman laughed
and my grandmother went, oh, I could tell from her laugh.
She's Oriental. And you go, oh, oh, after my mom's stroke, I could tell from her laugh. She's Oriental
After my mom's stroke God bless her Asian people would walk by and my mom will go
Yeah, after her stroke she would just laugh at Asian people in the park. She'd be like
So here's my thing. How do you explain that to anybody? I tell people all the time
My mom was like while it was happening. happening you're like I didn't try to explain
I just fucking rolled in the mud. I was loving it dude
She goes Sam. Yeah
Literally she'd be like
She was like can you believe this
Why what did the show do to her brother? I don't know she would count airplanes
So anytime I'd go out and visit her she'd tell me how many airplanes she saw that day.
She'd be like an Asian people.
That was it.
Turns out you never know what you're gonna love
right before you go.
Oh yeah, there was like a,
we were gonna do-
It's jelly beans and laughing at disabled people.
Not, they're not disabled, they're Asian.
I'm saying that's my, that's mine.
Oh yeah, for sure.
Because I'm gonna love jelly beans
and laughing at people in wheelchairs.
You love jelly beans.
I don't know, I don't know what the stroke's gonna do
You think that's coming down the pipe? I don't know. I'm thinking of the randomness of it
Yeah, I'll probably wind up wearing hats
Like weird ones like the kind of women wear to the Kentucky Derby right yeah, Sam. I can't talk to you right now
