Starting point is 00:00:00 All right. I might need help getting these on. Great. Let's wait, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it, save it. Are we recording? Yeah, we are. There we go. Oh, thank you, Megan.
Starting point is 00:00:11 Oh, man. Is that good? You guys are definitely going to see me wince a number of times over the course of this podcast. I will be wincing because the pain medication is not quite kicked in yet. Now, what are we on? Well, just Tylenol and Percocet, which I had to fight really hard to get because the opioid crisis has basically made things impossible to get something, and it's like, I have a broken bone.
Starting point is 00:00:49 I think I should be able, like the orthopedist that I went to who, by the way, said I was going to heal in three weeks and I didn't need surgery, so that's good news. I couldn't prescribe me a narcotic, and I'm like, you're a surgeon, I have a broken bone. You can't give me something because they gave me Percocet at the ER, and it worked. It works. It does what it's supposed to do. It makes you not feel the pain, you know what I mean? And then when I ran out of that and just was using Tylenol, I was like, this is horrible.
Starting point is 00:01:27 I'm in horrendous pain. I say, though, if you combine the Tylenol with an ibuprofen, that it's as effective as a narcotic, but you don't have the sort of like either speedy or super fatigued thing. You don't get the fun part? You don't get the fun part. But if it's fun for you, if it's fun for some people, some people don't like it, some people don't feel right on it. I also find it hard to believe this is going to heal in three weeks.
Starting point is 00:01:49 I snapped my collarbone in half. I don't really understand, but that's what he said. Now, can you tell us the comedic version of what happened or is it just going to be like a drag? Yeah. Like, did you do a funny kind of like into a garbage can and was there like a... Tell us the story. It was the... Okay, so my wife and my... I took my wife and kids and nephew and we all
Starting point is 00:02:17 went snowboarding in Mammoth, which we do many, many times a year, every year. I've been doing this for a long time and it was on the last run of the last day. The crazy thing is I was at the top and I was talking to my buddy Shane, who lives... You maybe you've met Shane. Have you met Shane, Jill's friend from high school who lives in Mammoth? Shane Hennes? No. So, Shane, he always comes out and boards with us.
Starting point is 00:02:45 He lives in Mammoth and we were at the top and I told Shane, I was like, yeah, this is my last run. And he goes, oh no. He's like, dude, never say that. Never say that. That's really bad luck. And I was like, really? And he's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:59 You've never heard that? And I'm like, no. I was like, okay. And I made a joke. I was like, this is not my last run. I'm going to go on a number of runs. Do you think because he said that to you, you were maybe a little extra tight or something? I don't know, but I... You know, and he felt really bad too because I think he thought
Starting point is 00:03:15 maybe that he got in my head. Like he was just joking around, but... No, it is an actual superstition amongst... Sure. ... skiers and snowboarders. Can we set the scene a little bit more? So, because there are viewers now, but there are listeners who have no idea what we're talking about. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:03:30 We haven't addressed that you've been hurt. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry. You have a sling. We dove right in. Okay, so... You know what?
Starting point is 00:03:39 There's a giant cast that I believe will all sign. His leg is immobilized. Not a cast. It's a sling. His leg is immobilized. No, I'm setting up... He's trying to do it dramatic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I was making it more of a thing. Sorry. Sorry. I think you're in pain. Okay. This should be great, Megan. Yeah. He slept great, but his jokes are bad.
Starting point is 00:03:58 No. Okay, so I broke my clavicle. I snapped my clavicle. I was going off a jump at the very... Almost the very beginning of a run, I was doing the park. Oh. Oh. Yeah, it's probably not something a 45-year-old man should still be doing.
Starting point is 00:04:14 What age do you stop doing the park? When do you stop going to parks just in general? I mean, playgrounds more because they call it a park, but really it's a playground for children. Well, no. No. It's like big jumps and stuff like that. I know, but what I'm saying is it would be equivalent... When you say a park, you
Starting point is 00:04:30 think, oh, Central Park, it's a nice place to... But what that is is like an adventure land of moguls and jumps, and it's quite dangerous. For people who don't ski or snowboard, the park is a section on certain runs that they have where they have jumps and boxes. They have features that you can do crazy shit off of on your skis or snowboard. I was going off a particularly high, big jump, and one that I'd done many times before and landed beautifully. I did not land beautifully this time.
Starting point is 00:05:06 This time I landed right on a corner, and I caught an edge, and it whipped me to the ground at a speed that is beyond my comprehension because I literally remember I landed on the corner, and then I was on the ground, and I hit my head so hard, so fucking hard. If I didn't have a helmet on, I would 100% be dead. There's no doubt in my mind I'd be dead right now if I wasn't wearing a helmet. Please everybody out there, when you're snowboarding, when you're skiing, even when you're skiing, I mean it's more important when you're snowboarding, I think, because when you're skiing you tend to fall on your side because your skis are going this way, but when you're on a snowboard
Starting point is 00:05:50 it's so easy to whip backwards and fall back onto your head or forward. So that's what it was you whipped backwards when you said? I don't know. I actually don't know. I don't understand how I landed on my shoulder. Jill's like, you're on a snowboard. How do you land on your shoulder? Because the board is going…
Starting point is 00:06:04 Yeah, I guess you turned your body. Yeah, so I'm not quite sure what happened, but I think I landed on my shoulder first and then whipped my head into the ground, broke the clavicle, but weirdly the thing that hurts more than that is my back. Like jacked my back up really bad. So that's the thing that I'm experiencing the most pain with is my back. It's such a dangerous sport. You're flying down a mountain.
Starting point is 00:06:32 You're flying down a mountain and gravity is pulling you down as fast as possible. Wasn't there a guy… There's an actor that just got killed. Yeah. Somebody just… You know. Yeah, like a French actor, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Yeah. I heard about that. People die all the time skiing. Yeah. Yeah. It's… I mean… Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:52 But also the few times that I've gone, it is very fun. It's super fun. It's so fun. And if you're a radical person… Yeah. Yeah. Who wants to… And you want to stay radical?
Starting point is 00:07:00 And you want to stay radical? And you want to stay radical? And you want to stay radical? And you want to shred? You have to shred. You must shred. And Jill is taking care of both your boys and has to like open a can of peas for you. It feels very unratical.
Starting point is 00:07:12 That's less radical. Yeah. You know what I mean? What for both of you really? Because you're sort of… Yeah. Okay. Can of peas.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah. No, I know. I'm just… Trying to wash my kale. Trying to… Yeah. Yeah. She's got to rinse your kale.
Starting point is 00:07:28 You can't do it. It actually hurts to laugh. All right. Okay. Let's try not to make Glenn laugh. Oh, wow. Okay. I took my first shower last night in many, many days.
Starting point is 00:07:47 That felt good. Oof. Great. And bad. Because it hurts. Everything hurts. It hurts. I don't know if you guys know this, but broken bones hurt.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I don't really know it. I can say it. I know the broken bone. Little hairline fracture. But I think I've broken a couple of toes like stubbing them, you know, because wherever they've turned like really stiff and blue and swollen, but I've never really broken a bone before. Rob was mentioning…
Starting point is 00:08:14 Do you want to bring it up? Yeah. Yeah. I was listening to the most recent podcast, The Gang Exploits A Miracle, and you are talking very specifically about doing stunts, because you did one where you felt… We were talking about how great the stunt was. You fell off a stool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:32 And you were like, you know, back when I was younger, I would do those kinds of stunts that it would be fun, but now I would be nervous that I would like break my shoulder. I'd literally say like I'm going to like separate my shoulder, so I don't like do stupid things anymore like that, because I don't want to hurt my shoulder. Oh, man. Now, can you classify skiing as stupid? Yes, I do think. But also fun, undeniably fun.
Starting point is 00:08:55 There's just a risk involved. There's a risk involved. When you want to ski, you want to go to… you want to ski the park, as you said. You want to ride a motorcycle. There's a risk involved. That's how I get off. Yeah, I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:09:08 You know what I mean? That's how I… It makes you… There's something about being just on the edge of breaking something or really hurting yourself that like makes you feel alive. Yeah. Yeah. You know?
Starting point is 00:09:21 Right. You've gotten pretty… You've shredded some serious gnar in the past. I have. Well, I've slowed down. Well, it's the last time. You don't go. You don't go.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Last year. If my kids were super into it, I would go. We didn't learn… I didn't learn how to ski. The first time I went skiing, I was in my 30s, I think. Yeah. And the same for you, right? Oh, when we did the episode?
Starting point is 00:09:39 Was that the first time you'd ever skied when we did the ski episode? No, no. We all were at your bachelor party. No, but he was snowboarding. I was snowboarding then. But I learned how to snowboard in my… like I was 30 or 31. Same. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Yeah. We learned at the same time. At the same time, yeah. At the exact night, and he was like taking us to Big Bear and stuff like that, and I'd been skiing my whole life, but I always wanted to try snowboarding. It was super fun. I just see more and more people getting very seriously hurt, and I'm like, I enjoy it, but not enough for that.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Really? Yeah. Yeah. I went like twice as a kid to a place called Yagu Ski Valley in Rhode Island, so it was more like a hill than a mountain. There was like one chair, but you were down at the bottom of the chair in 10 minutes, you know? And then I didn't go again until your bachelor party, so I was in my 30s or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And the very first run, I went with you guys, and you guys all just went flying down the hill, and I was like, where the fuck am I? I'm like, oh, I'm on like a triple black diamond. And I was like, I can see like a cliff to my left, and I'm like, how the fuck am I going to get down this thing? And I basically, you know… You'll be fine. You'll be fine.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Just go. Just go. I'm like a bitch. Just go. I don't always skate, so maybe it's like the edges. So I like turn to the side, I like do that little jump and turn, and then I'm like just stopped. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Wait. Can I just… I remember you being really good at it. This is what I was about to say. Okay, so we talked about this in an earlier episode. Charlie's a good athlete. Maybe you wouldn't expect it, but Charlie's possibly the best athlete of the three of us, and I think that's definitely true.
Starting point is 00:11:12 And this is just another example of that, because I remember you saying like, I haven't skied since I was like a kid, and I remember thinking like, oh, this is going to be a little rough. And you looked like somebody who skis, not like expert, but like you looked like somebody who knew it. Well, I did. But that was rough. That was going down that black diamond. I wound up going down on my butt, and then being like, fuck, I gotta go back up on this
Starting point is 00:11:34 hill. Like the whole time, just been like trying to survive, you know, not really like joy riding. Just be like, just let me get to the bottom without a broken, gone about, but when we did the episode, you and I went out with a ski instructor, and she's like, I'll have you going down black diamonds within an hour. And she did. Like, but that was impressive.
Starting point is 00:11:56 She was really good. And that was the last time I've been on a mountain. So now I feel like if I went again, I have to re-learn it again. It would come back to you. It's in your body. I don't want a broken collarbone, though. You know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Yeah. Well, it's like you said, it's like, is that something that you enjoy so much that you're willing to possibly have a broken collarbone? Because yeah, the first thing I thought was, you know, after I really, really hurt my ankle playing basketball in my late twenties, that pretty much was the end. I mean, I still play basketball occasionally, but like I don't really play anymore because of that. And I thought like, oh no, like, am I going to lose snowboarding?
Starting point is 00:12:38 It's my favorite thing in the world to do. And I was like, but then I just kind of was like, you know what, I'll, I'll heal and I'm just going to keep doing it. Yeah. I'm just going to keep doing it. But like, I like to ride a motorcycle, I learned how to ride a motorcycle. I'm like, oh, this is fun. But and it's not worth it to me to like go out and get like murdered on a, on a free
Starting point is 00:12:56 wet. But for so many people, they're like that the risk is worth it to me because it's so much fun. Yeah. The whole thing gets thrown out of whack when you have kids, right? Like when you have kids, it's no longer just your life, right? Like, if I, yeah, it seems like it'd be very cool to zip around our motorcycle all the time.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I don't do that, but it's, I'm also like, but then if I totally no fault of my own, get fucking hit by someone who's texting, right? And then that's it. I'm like, fuck. Yeah. That's the thing. Yeah. My kid has to feed me through a straw or something for the rest of my life because I'm paralyzed.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Like then that, that, I don't, I don't feel like I can justify that level of risk. Yeah. Maybe, maybe when they're out the door, it's like, Hey, look, you're 18 and I'm 105. I'm going to go ride motorcycles now or whatever. But I like, that's just me. I think I, you know, I'm overly cautious with that. You're risk averse. I'm risk averse.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I am. You're very risk averse. Is he? Yeah. I think I'm not in an unhealthy way. I wouldn't think. I'd like, I understand what you're saying, but I wouldn't have thought of you that way. That be said.
Starting point is 00:14:06 He's more measured. He's more measured. Like I, we tend to go like all like hot in various things and not that he doesn't get hot. Or both areas. Yeah. Both areas. Christ.
Starting point is 00:14:19 You know, that was, it's in the stars. Is that a new thing? Oh. It's in the stars. Okay. It's in the stars. It was in the stars. This is ancient knowledge.
Starting point is 00:14:27 Okay. Um, that's never going to change. Like where you are born in relation to the stars is who you are. There's nothing you can do about it. You're in Aries. I'm in Aries. And that's just the way it is. And we're just radical by nature.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Just radical by nature. Yeah. No, that's just how it is. It sounds like a cool band name we should start radical by nature. Oh, it's, it's good and bad. Too close to naughty by nature. I know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:50 That's it. Yeah. But we're not naughty. We're radical. You've never been naughty. Radical by reputation. This is the first episode of season three. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:09 So we're picked up for one season. Yeah. Yes. They picked us up for one season. For one season. Yeah. 15 episodes. 15 episodes.
Starting point is 00:15:20 So we're excited about that. We don't realize yet how daunting that's going to be for us. We have an office for the first time in Marina Del Rey. Could it be further from my house? It's actually Plyodelray. Plyodelray, that's right. Good long commute for me. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Crazy. I couldn't believe it. Brutal. Crazy. You really took one for the team. I was thinking about this real pattern as I drove in to this podcast this morning. It's like we set up a real, like never has there ever been an office in my neighborhood. Well, no.
Starting point is 00:15:52 You know, you guys have never quite had to hike all the way over there. The office was in Plyodelray and people outside of California might not understand the geography, but just this does look to be a good sense where I lived was Marina Del Rey. So you were in the Del Rey. I was in the Del Rey, as you can put it, and Glenn was in Venice, which is right next to Marina Del Rey. So they were all kind of right next to each other. And I was like an hour and a half away.
Starting point is 00:16:16 Crazy. Plyodelray, another fucking planet. Plyodelray. Crazy. I didn't mind to drive, but those offices were a dump. Yeah. Right? Oh, but we had stages next to them?
Starting point is 00:16:28 Yes. Yes. Also a dump. They weren't really stages. They were like out. They were like factories or something that out, quote unquote, outfitted it, but it was also by the airport. Well, that's what I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I remember, I remember like those stages, because that's the whole point of being on a stage, right? As you're in a very controlled environment where you control the sound and the look and everything, you know, it's, but you could hear every single airplane. We were literally up next to fucking LAX. So every eight minutes, a new plane would go over, which you just don't realize you're not thinking about it when you're not on a sound stage and everybody's quiet. How often an airplane is going over that sound stage is a real generous term for what that
Starting point is 00:17:07 was. It was like a warehouse that like they just finally stopped like using as a chop shop and they're like, you want to make a movie here? Yeah, go ahead. Is that soundproof? Yeah. Yeah. Sure.
Starting point is 00:17:20 What do you mean? Like a roof? Yeah, we got a roof. It's not quite what we mean, but yeah, I think that was the first year we had an assistant. It was. Yeah. Adam Stein. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Because he would get us coffees from Starbucks every morning. And that's the first time I had like someone like getting us a coffee. Right. Oh, God. That felt very Hollywood. It felt very professional. Would you guys like something in the morning? Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:17:44 I would like a coffee and then it would be there. You would show up and they would hand you a coffee and you'd be like, this is cold. And made a writing stack. What the fuck? Get it back and get another one. That's right. And make sure it's hot. Scream at it.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Yeah, immediately. Yeah, immediately. That's what I've got to put them in their place. And throw it in his face and he would like, depending on the level of scalding, you know how hot it was. Yeah. This is back when you could get away with that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:05 But give me another one. Give me another one. We had a writing staff for the first time. Yes. We had found Rob Rosell, Scott Martyr. Who at the time were a writing team, Martin Rosell, who were so funny and brought so much to what the show became. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Wasn't the staff just Martyr, Rosell and Hornsby or did we have one? Was Lisa Parsons? Oh, we had Lisa Parsons. Yeah, Lisa. I think Lisa Parsons. I think Lisa was obsessed with being on Wheel of Fortune. Oh, yeah. She really desperately wanted to be on Wheel of Fortune.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Right. I feel like maybe she had been part of the pitch of this episode or I can't remember. Yeah. I know she was heavily involved in the gang solves the North Korea situation. Yeah. Is that season three or four? Three. At his three?
Starting point is 00:18:54 Yeah, I always think of it as four. But yeah, you're right. Okay, number one. Martyr and Rosell, I mean, they changed in the best of ways the voice of the show in like so many different ways, which is great. Like I can see their influence in this particular episode and then it never really changed. What do you see specifically in this episode that would have been a Martyr Rosell style joke?
Starting point is 00:19:15 Well, oddly enough, they might not even be like as typical as like where we really got to, which was like melting dogs in the in the in the alley, but even just the scene, the scene where I come in with to D with the baby and instantly we morph into like a married couple. That's you. Yeah, that's you. Yeah, I feel like that's very you. I don't know this for I don't know this for a fact, but I that is so totally your style
Starting point is 00:19:41 of humor. I really enjoyed that scene. I enjoyed that scene so much when it came to it because I was like, God, this is just very real. One of my favorite scenes. Were you guys dating then? Was that weird? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Oh, season three. Yes. We were we were definitely dating. Is it a glimpse into your home like I'll tell you what I'll tell you what was weird. I have no problems telling the story because it's been so long ago when we were in Philadelphia shooting that season. I remember getting we spent so we none of us had kids and all we would do is shoot all day and then go out and get blind drunk.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Right. Remember, it was like a party. It was so much fun and we stayed in some hotel and so we had just started dating. Like, I mean, not that long before that enough to where I was still like, oh, I want to like impress this impress this this young woman and we got, I don't know, again, blind drunk and the next morning I wake up and she's like, man, you sweat like crazy last night. It's hot in here. I'm like, I usually sweat at night.
Starting point is 00:20:43 I don't I don't know. And I'm like, yes, sweaty and like the sheets are like soaking wet and I'm like, what the fuck? Like, I guess I am. And then she was like, she smelled it and she's like, you pissed all over me. You pissed the bed. I pissed the bed. You pissed all over her.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Which has never never happened before and has never happened since. Wow. You were that drunk. I was that inebriated that I peed on my new girlfriend. Yeah. I mean, I've definitely been like, had to pee really bad in the morning and had dreams that I was going pee and that that's what wakes me up and then I go take a leak, but never has somehow there's a blocking mechanism and I don't know why I don't pee on the bed,
Starting point is 00:21:26 but I don't. Yeah. I don't know why I did in that in particular moment either. I've been inebriated before and inebriated since. Did her reaction to you peeing on the bed and all of her make you go, wow, this woman is really something else. She thought it was the funniest thing that could possibly happen. That's what I mean.
Starting point is 00:21:48 And I was like, we're going to get married. I'm married. I'm married. Dude, yes. That's what sealed the deal of us deciding to get married and since then we've lived in wedded bliss. I remember, this is a funny memory, but I remember shooting that thing where I find the Alibaba sword in the dump and I remember, you know, them being like, this is going to be hard
Starting point is 00:22:08 to shoot. I was like, this is bigger production value, this whole episode is a lot more production value than it was, you know, rain machines and shit. But even that, they had to build that mound of garbage. I was like, why don't we just like go to a dump somewhere? And they're like, buddy, you don't want to just be in the dump rummaging around the trash. And not until now watching it was I like, oh yeah, I didn't want to just be.
Starting point is 00:22:34 So I think they. I think we were actually fighting for that. We were like, because it was so expensive just to put all the trash bags exactly. And then we were like, let's just go to a dump. We can do it. We can do it. We can do it. And Fox was like, you cannot.
Starting point is 00:22:49 FX was like, you cannot do it. It's too much of a liability. Right. Yes. I will. I'm going to tie this by the time I get to the bottom. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:58 And the crew will be breathing in the garbage air all day. Charlie, do you remember if chopping a camel in its hump with this thing and drinking the milk off the tip of the sword, if that line was scripted or did you say that? No way. No way. You I remember distinctly you making that up in the middle in the middle of that scene. You do? Yes.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I was like, that is insane. It is so fucking funny. What he's talking about chopping a camel in its hump and drinking its milk. I was like, this dude, who is this guy? Like who comes up with something that funny that fast? It was probably a combo of me not knowing whether or not there was actually milk in there. You know, like doing the riff, but also being like slightly unsure, like is it water? Is it milk?
Starting point is 00:23:40 Is it just like, is it just a cellular growth? What's in there? What's in that camel's hump? I don't actually know. It's important to embrace our ignorance and go with it because there is a lot of comedy in what we actually don't know. Oh yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 Here's how I know that that was definitely an ad lib. The line I believe was, and I bet you if we dig up the script, we could find it. The line was, Frank, it's an Alibaba sword. And so you start with, check out what I found. I can cut a handle. And then he gives a line and you keep going over him to get in the actual line, which is it's an Alibaba sword, which you must have felt like was necessary for some reason and it wasn't, but you had ad lib all this funny thing.
Starting point is 00:24:23 So you're saying Danny was being a professional and trying to throw in whatever his script was that he was supposed to say and then Charlie like finished the line. Right. I'd have to go back and watch that again. This episode was the first one that Jerry Levine directed. And I remember being so like, so like nerdy excited because I grew up watching the movie Teen Wolf. Like I've seen that movie a thousand times and Jerry Levine plays the character Styles
Starting point is 00:24:50 and he's just so funny in it. He's so good. Did you guys grow up watching that movie? Yes. I think it wasn't one of those that I would watch over and over again, but I had seen it a bunch of times. I think I saw it once and I was like, it's not for me. The hair bothers me.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The werewolf. I think it was upsetting. It was upsetting. He's in short shorts since I feel uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:25:10 It's also confusing because it was like he was really hairy obviously because he was a werewolf. And yet somehow that made him sexier to people and to women and more popular. It's like if a dude showed up like that in a real high school, they'd be like, they'd kill him. They'd kill it. They'd kill it. They'd kill it. And they'd be right to do so.
Starting point is 00:25:31 I mean, it's a monster. It's a monster. You can't trust it. It's a monster. We know it's a monster. We've seen movies about this monster. Yeah. Numerous movies.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Yeah. You know, just because he wants to play basketball doesn't mean he's not up to something. And why is a werewolf naturally better at basketball than when a human? Well, I think a wolf just has jumping abilities that a human doesn't have. I think what it is is Michael... How can he dribble? Michael J. Fox. That's the human combo coming in.
Starting point is 00:25:54 That's exactly the Michael J. Fox guy. He was a decent basketball player, but then when you add like the physical abilities of a werewolf into the mix, then, you know, you've got a real situation on your hands. Yeah. Michael J. Fox, like all men who are 5'2", are probably pretty good at basketball. But what does it take to really excel? And that's a werewolf genes. Well, I believe that that movie is about puberty, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:26:22 I think that's the whole thing. It's like, I think it's supposed to be like that. The hair is coming. Yeah. So, the fact that you're talking about hair and why women fight, it's like, I think it's like you're transforming into a... Right. Dudes, don't worry.
Starting point is 00:26:34 The hair's okay. Yeah. You can still be somebody despite all this new hair. That was the message. Yeah. That was the message. Yeah, because with that hair comes like mad hops. And our buddy Jason Bateman did Teen Wolf 2 and that's TOO as in Teen Wolf also.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah. So, listener, please go check that out. Check out Teen Wolf 2 with Jason Bateman. Almost ruined his career, right? That almost put him in movie jail for a little bit, I think. It might have, yeah. According to him, I feel like that's... I believe that.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Yeah. It tanked. Yeah. And he was a boxer in that movie, right? And they didn't get Jerry Levine to play. They got like a different guy to play styles, not to bag on that guy, I don't know who that guy is, but like, no, Jerry Levine. Jerry Levine was like amazing in that movie.
Starting point is 00:27:17 He's so funny. I never understood why he stopped acting and just became a director. He's a great director too, but... I do miss that genre of movie, which is like that 80s comedy that feels very inexpensively produced. Yeah. But like just pure fun. Just fun.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I feel like that's kind of gone away. Yeah. Is it? Yeah. I mean, there's a handful of them that come out these days. I mean, like Booksmart was like a high school comedy that was just so, so great. But yeah, there's not as many of them as there were in the 80s. The 80s were really a heyday for those high concept, stupid, silly comedies.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Well, speaking of stupid, silly comedies, what else about this dumpster baby do you guys recall? Well, I wanted to ask you guys... I wanted to ask you guys, do you remember how this idea came about and where the idea of finding a baby in a dumpster and how it tied in with global warming and throwaway culture and all that? Well, certainly, an inconvenient truth had just come out I think the previous year and so that was a huge part of the popular culture and conversation.
Starting point is 00:28:30 But then also at the same time, unrelated, there was like three or four different stories about people finding babies in the trash. Really? Yes. And we were like, what the fuck is going on? Why are people throwing out children? And your first thought was, now that's funny. Well, I think, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:53 Yeah. Right. We were like, you know, yeah, I mean, I wasn't always the goal of the show to take things that nobody else was talking about and see if we could find a comedic spin to it, which is like, hey, the act in and of itself is not funny, but man, what would happen if characters like this found? But I guess we never really say like who the parents were or anything, right? It's just that the baby's in the trash and then the baby goes to child services.
Starting point is 00:29:17 Yeah. And now that baby's probably 14, 15 years old, right? I think older than that. Wow. Can we try to track that baby down? How's DB doing? How's DB doing? I would like to.
Starting point is 00:29:27 All going up. I'm sure it was a set of twins, right? Because they always have twins when you have a baby on set. It might have been triplets. It was. It was triplets. It was triplets. You're right.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Yeah. So the weird Hollywood thing where it's like, okay, you get five minutes with each baby. And if this one's not performing, you know, this one's a good crier, you know, this one's good at your Goo Goo Gaga's and this one nails the Goo Goo Gaga's almost every time. This one, he cries a lot. What do you want? Which one do you want? This one's got kind of a wonky eye.
Starting point is 00:29:54 So you want to shoot over its shoulder, but like, you know, this one's the mutant. You don't want this one for the cute shots. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's going to have the best career. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that with the wonky eye is going to have the best career. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Eventually, eventually. Eventually.
Starting point is 00:30:10 But for now it's going to, you know. Yeah. My throw people. The baby's not on IMDb. I saw that. I tried to find him too. I wanted to see. There's no justice.
Starting point is 00:30:18 I know. Yeah, really. Look, wait, he's got to be in the credits, right? I mean, not on IMDb. Maybe they didn't want it. Maybe they saw it. IMDumster, baby. He's not on IMDumster, baby.
Starting point is 00:30:26 He is DB. What do you mean he's not on IMDuby? That was teed up beautifully. Oh, God. I'm waking up. Yeah, I was. I remember this whole season. We definitely got to the editing room and we were devastated every, every time.
Starting point is 00:30:49 And it wasn't because we had terrible editors. In fact, Josh Driscoe has been with us from day one. I think we overwrote these episodes. I think we would write episodes that would be like 40 pages. We did. We had to hack them down so much. Yeah. Well, our runtime was longer, right?
Starting point is 00:31:04 So we were given a little bit more length. And I like that actually watching this episode, I'm like, oh, there's a little more room for a few more twists and turns, which I think is good. But we also, you know, we were figuring it out as we went. So we're like, I don't know how many pages equals the 22 minutes were allotted. So, you know, we're guessing it's 30 or maybe it's 28, and then sometimes we riff and things get expanded. And yeah, some of those episodes were so long.
Starting point is 00:31:32 But you get a cut that's 35 minutes long and you got to cut it down to 22 minutes. It's brutal. Like, yeah. You end up cutting a bunch of jokes that don't necessarily progress the story just to make sure that the story stays on track, you know, because you can't cut, like, crucial story beats without, you know, compromising things. Usually, I mean, sometimes you can, but so you got to, so you end up cutting jokes and it's very painful to cut jokes because, boy, do you think you're funny.
Starting point is 00:31:56 You watch, you're like, I'm so funny here. You want to cut this? I don't remember anything that got cut from that episode, though. No. No, do I? It doesn't matter. You don't need it. Do you guys remember how hard it was to get Riders on the Storm?
Starting point is 00:32:07 That song? Was it hard? Yeah. I don't remember. It was expensive and we had to sort of push for it. Yeah. Yeah. It's so good in the episode.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Yeah, yeah. I love that scene with you and Danny in the... In the rain by the dumpster. Yeah. Yeah. So do I. I don't really remember shooting that, but I do remember him and I just sleeping on the subway grate, which we shot in Philly.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Yeah. There's a couple scenes we shot in Philly. My stepmother's in the show. Mary. Oh, yeah, Mary. Mary, yeah. My mother's wife, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:34 With Lucy. Yeah, with Lucy DeVito. Yeah. The two ladies that stop you in D when you're walking down the street with DB and they're like, oh, man, they're such a cute... They give us the idea to put them in commercials. There's a shot in there I don't love, which is you guys looking right into the crib. Me.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yeah. I don't mind that. I didn't mind that. I didn't mind that. I didn't mind that. That's like, why are we in the baby's point of view? We're not in the baby's point of view anywhere else in the storytelling. So then to jump into the baby's point of view felt weird to me, but yeah, you know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:33:02 I don't know. I don't know. It doesn't make a difference. We should recut it. I think it's not too late to maybe reshoot. Yeah. Let's get Jerry Levine on the phone and see if he can explain to us what he was thinking. He'll definitely remember.
Starting point is 00:33:13 But that might have been us. I feel like maybe that was like one of the things that we pitched to him and like, hey, let's do this. Whatever you guys want to your show, I think I kind of want to reshoot that. I kind of want to reshoot an episode from like season one or season two shot for shot. That might be fun. Yeah. That might be fun.
Starting point is 00:33:30 And you see me depressing. Oh, it'll be. Oh, we horrifically depressing. I'll be humiliating, which is great. Would we change the dot? Would we? Would it be the same story? But like the dialogue is exactly the same because I feel like we don't make quite the
Starting point is 00:33:40 same jokes. It might be interesting to do a story where we're doing the same things, right? But we don't realize it. But every now and then one of us is like, some of this feels familiar to me. But it's like basically the exact same story. Yeah. But and then maybe someone's like, no, we've done this before. It's like no way we would just make the same mistakes and the episodes about just like
Starting point is 00:34:00 sort of making the same mistakes over and over. But that's a good idea. Guys, this is how. Isn't that the gang recycles the trash? Yes. We did that. We did that. We did that.
Starting point is 00:34:09 We did that. We did do that. We did that. We did that. We did that. We did that. We did that. We did that.
Starting point is 00:34:17 I don't know. We only did one. No. We only did one. Well, this one's about trash as well. The trash stuff I enjoyed so much. Yeah. Well, a lot of that.
Starting point is 00:34:25 I remember being on set too and a lot of that is improv. I remember you turning to Frank when you're just looking through the trash and talking about how great it is and holding up something and saying, electrics. Yeah, electrics. Yeah, electrics. Yeah. Yeah. Danny's saying that whatever the thing's like a ray gun, like the little.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can.
Starting point is 00:34:48 We can. We'll just wrap stuff up. So excited about it. Should we own up to one of our mistakes in this season when it comes to the production design? Oh, I didn't. Oh, the floor. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I didn't even notice it in the episode. But yeah. I didn't notice it in this one. But I remember this being the season where somebody, did that happen without us realize it without us knowing? Yes. Yes. And what had happened was that the floor of the bar in season one and two was flooring
Starting point is 00:35:18 that was existed in the space that we were filming the Herald examiner. The Parquet floor. Yeah, this Parquet floor. And it's very expensive to create and produce that. And so in order to like cut corners and save some money, they had decided not to replicate like our some, I don't want to throw anyone specific under the bus. Right. Because we were shooting in the examiner where it just, if that was the floor.
Starting point is 00:35:40 That was the floor. Right. So, someone had said, hey, let's cut a corner, save some money. And they changed the floor of the bar to just these like flat brown wood planks. They also really brightened up the colors in Sweet D's apartment with like bright purples and stuff. And we didn't realize, you know, because you're doing a million things, until we got into the editing room, we're like, what is different?
Starting point is 00:36:02 Why is this all feeling different? Yeah. And eventually, you know, season four, we changed it back. But we shot the whole season with different fucking floors. And it drove us crazy. But did we ever hear anybody, like I didn't remember or heard anybody mention it. We should look on the reddit. Mag, check the reddit.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Mag, check the reddit. Oh, god. Is there a sunny floor reddit? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Other things that do. It's more like us, our own sense of like quality, you know? Yeah. That it's irritating? Yeah. And that was not the alleyway. No. That was a different alleyway that was a sort of fake set alleyway, which was right off
Starting point is 00:36:41 of this warehouse that we were filming in. Oh, right. From a production standpoint, I get it. It was like, let's save money. Let's try to get everything all in one location so we're not spending a lot on company moves, moving the entire place downtown just to shoot in a stinky alleyway. But I don't know, something feels lost. You know what was great about that alley whenever we shot down there is that it was the, that
Starting point is 00:37:07 door to Patties is a working restaurant. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it was a Korean restaurant. No, no. It was those little, like, meat-filled sandwich things, like, what are they called? Epidontis. Epidontis, yeah. It was an Epidontis place.
Starting point is 00:37:22 It was? Oh, yeah. I'm positive. Either way, it was a working restaurant. And I remember that we never, ever were able to ask them, like, to buy out the restaurant. So, and they would, the owner or whoever the general manager wouldn't tell the staff, like, to stop cooking or what was happening. Do not stop making Epidontis.
Starting point is 00:37:43 I implore you. No matter what happens today, keep your head down, get those Epidontis made, all right? Don't stop. Okay? Things are going to be happening. They might be behaving weirdly, don't look at them, don't acknowledge them. Just make Epidontis. For the love of God.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Make Epidontis. God forbid a cop box in here, and we're not making Epidontis. And this whole thing goes to shit, you know, because there ain't nobody buying these Epidontis. It's all front. It's what's inside the Epidontis, you know, if you know what I mean. You know, like, yeah. Well, yeah, so we would have access to it and the door would open and we would go in and generally it would be like us bursting out the door because we didn't want to see
Starting point is 00:38:20 in. You know, there would be times between like when before we would roll and then like you'd be inside this restaurant where they're making Epidontis. Yeah. Preparing to have your, do your exit. Yeah. And there's like a guy. And you have a radio and they're like, okay, action.
Starting point is 00:38:34 And you're like, did he say action? I don't know. Did he say action? Because they're blasting music. You know, here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Burst it out. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:38:42 And the guy's like, they wouldn't even really even look at us. No. Door couldn't care less. There's something going on in there, right? And maybe there was, they were filled those Epidontis with stuff. I think that's a funny little thing about this business where that happens a lot. Like you go on a location scout or something and you're like walking through like a weird kitchen of a working place and it's you and a team of people and no one ever tells the
Starting point is 00:39:05 people working there. They don't ever shut it down. Like maybe usually like a big movie will like buy the place out for a while, but most places are like, no, keep the Epidontis going. We'll be in and out. We just need your doorway. That's a weird thing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:18 It just happened this year. We were shooting the scene where you and I were walking down the street in Dublin and we were doubling it with another street and they just didn't lock it down at all. So every time we would go back to our starting point, there would be like some guy that would come up and be like, hey, Mac and Charlie. We'd be like, hey, bud. And he's like, hey, can I take a photo? We're like, sure.
Starting point is 00:39:38 There's no, but we're in the middle of a scene, like all good, like no problem. But is there any lockdown? Is there any security? Well, this is something you've been bitching about for years. You're always like, you're always like, we talked to them. We talked to the locations. People were like, can we lock this street down? We need to lock the street down.
Starting point is 00:39:53 They're like, you just can't do it. Let us do it. LA County will not let you lock down a city street and I'm like, fuck you. I've seen Jerry Brockheimer movies where they're blowing cars up and people up and helicopters up in the middle of the street. Are you telling me they didn't lock that down? Yeah. There's just like some guy driving by in his Honda Civic, right?
Starting point is 00:40:11 Is that transformers blowing up? And then the answer is, well, no, yeah, you can do it. Yeah. For the right price. You just said we can't do it. Well, you can't do it. No. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:40:21 What I meant is you can't do it. Sorry. Is your last name Brockheimer? Yeah. No, but it's equally difficult to pronounce. What park was that where we had chained, what's that actor's name to the tree? He was very funny. God, he was great.
Starting point is 00:40:38 He was great in it. Yeah. I don't remember what park that was. I think it was a park on La Cienega. Yeah. But when you're cutting over towards the airport. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:46 We shot there a couple of times. We have shot there a couple of times. Yeah. Yeah. Todd Grinnell. Todd Grinnell. Todd Grinnell. Great.
Starting point is 00:40:54 Yeah. Yeah. Of course, Todd Grinnell. God, he was great. Our friend Isaac played Mountain. Oh, he's great. Yeah. Isn't he great?
Starting point is 00:41:02 He's so great in it. He has another guy. I was always like, why is he not an actor? He's a prop master. You know, sometimes when you're not an actor, it's just you're better. It's that weird thing about like the person just is the person and it's interesting to watch. Jackie Tone.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yeah. Jackie Tone. Yeah. She's an American Idol. She's gone on to do some other. Yeah. Well, she acts as well. But I think she was a singer.
Starting point is 00:41:23 She was a singer, right? Yeah. She's a singer and a musician. I think she was on like America's Got Talent or American Idol, maybe. I think she was on American Idol. Danny Hill. American Idol. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Mary Elizabeth's friend who plays the guy in the tanning bed. Oh, the orange asshole. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hear that. I hear that often just to get a base. People.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Just to get a base. Just to get a base. Just to get a base. Just to get a base. To get a full tan. Yeah. We just need to lay the base layer down. You guys, you don't tan, right?
Starting point is 00:41:52 You don't. Me? Yeah. Do I look like I tan? No, I know you don't tan. No. You might go, you don't go out of your way to tan. No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:42:00 That's this. No, come on. This skin is not. Yeah. Yeah. Made to tan. No, made to tan. Pretty crazy thing to go into a tanning booth and just like.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Cook me. Cook yourselves. Yeah. Yeah. Because for one reason or another. I was always tempted to do it when I was single. Because I was always like, I'm so pale. Like just get a little base and keep it.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Yeah, sure. You know what I mean? Like I don't need to be like, you know. Orange. Orange or even fully brown. I just need to be like, I just need to look like I've spent a little bit of time in the sun. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:42:32 Why not just puff that shirt off when you go play a little basketball? Well, no. I'll do that. I will do that. I do do that. Yeah. And rightfully so, but you started earlier than most of us when we would go to the beach together when we lived in Venice or Marinadelle, right?
Starting point is 00:42:47 And I would show up and you would look purple. I know. You had so much sunblock on. Yeah, yeah. It was a very weird shade of purple. Yeah. Because it would be like a very specific kind of sunblock. It's that mineral sunscreen, right?
Starting point is 00:43:00 Yeah. It goes on and it just looks like a thing of white and it, for me in my skin, it turns me purple. Yeah. I don't use it. Wow. It's hardcore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:11 But it was great. Yeah. He needs hair. That guy looks like he's very cold. He's choked. Oxygen deprived. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:20 Yeah. Yeah. I know. But you don't want to get the, I mean, I've had enough things lopped off my skin from sun damage. I mean, when I was a kid, when I was a kid we would go to the beach and there was no sunblock. My mother used to spray us with vinegar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:35 To get, to get you dark. Yeah. Well, it was to keep away the flies. Yeah, that is the funniest thing, picturing me as like, Macklehenny kids just reeking of vinegar. Yeah. Like you coming over to a kid like, hey, will you, will you guys want to play Frisbee or something?
Starting point is 00:43:49 And they're like, oh God. My eyes are watering trying to talk to the skin. Oh shit, man. How much fish and chips did you have? What the fuck are you, boy? Guy smells like a fucking salad. Crazy. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Even worse than that. By the way, the second you go in the water that vinegar is off. Yeah. When she came out, she had more of it and she just, she was like, she's got the vinegar. Now I ask her like, why, why was I sprayed down with vinegar? It's, and I'm like, do you think that they'd help to like engage the sun in some way? And she was like, uh, it's, by the way, it's, it's still unclear a hundred percent. She's like, honey, I was loaded.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I'm so sorry. Yeah. She was like, oh, 100%. That's that. No doubt. We would get on there with her and her sisters and her friends. Yeah. Why vinegar?
Starting point is 00:44:36 Well, in Jersey, they had these like horse flies that would bite you. Oh yeah. And I think it was like to keep that they don't like the vinegar. So it keeps the flies away from you. And then. But no. No. No.
Starting point is 00:44:48 Some of the kids covered in vinegar and flies. And you know those kids from Philly, yeah, yeah, they're like a sweet like vinegar. They always got flots around. She also loved for some reason, she loved the look of those like, of like those like swimmer, like, like in the European, like they look like underwear, right? They put those on. Okay. Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Yes. Like a swimmer, like a swimmer. She loved that look. Right. And we were too young, but I was old enough. I was probably like nine, nine or eight or nine or 10. And she was like, you just look so cute in these. And meanwhile, like, you know, maybe at like six, you don't care.
Starting point is 00:45:29 But by the time you hit like 10, you're like, my dick is tiny and it looks so bad. Yeah. So much smaller. Yeah. Like, yeah. And so now I'm where I'm. I only know how it's reacting to the vinegar too. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like a slug. Like a slug. Like a slug. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:50 That's, that is so weird. Oh, yeah. I mean, I grew up in the south a lot of horse flies. Good memories though. Like I just, I remember it. I didn't care. It was really fun. No, I did.
Starting point is 00:46:00 I did remember carrying once like 10 or 11. I remember there being like a group of kids and me always like having my hands over my dick. And then like my cousin being like, look, man, there's no hiding. There's no hiding. You got to get a new suit. You guys just got to get a new suit. And I was like, all right.
Starting point is 00:46:14 So 11 years old, you were still wearing like the European. Maybe 10. Yeah. Like I'll get some, I'll get some photos because we have some photos. I look happy in the photos. I do really enjoy when I see, it's always like an older gentleman. It's always a man like, you know, well into his sixties or above. You know, and those guys are just like, I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 00:46:32 This is what I like. Yeah. This is what I want to wear. This is what I like. This is what makes me comfortable and I don't care how it makes you feel. Well, I'll tell you what, I was tan as shit. Like for as, as, as Irish skin that I have, I was like, cause we would be out there on the beach every day covered in vinegar with no clothing, with no clothing on.
Starting point is 00:46:50 So I was so tan. The photos you see of me, I'm like, this is crazy. I look so, so dark. How does the vinegar affect the sun? Does it, does it make you get more sun or does it actually block the sun? Well, I think she, from her point of view, I think it did has, no, no, it didn't block the sun. I think it was like an old, it had the same properties as like a baby.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Oh, thanks. So it enhanced the, I believe so. Yeah. Like she wanted us tan. Yeah. Right. Just because that was the healthy look. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:16 Right. I want my baby, I want my kids to look healthy. Yeah. Spray them and get them out there. Yeah. And if he's covered in horsefly bumps, then that negates the whole thing. I wanted to resemble a French fry. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:27 I mean, I think I look pretty good if I'm being honest. I mean, my, I look like, you know, like my dick didn't look great. I was a little kid. I don't know if you should be looking a little kid's dick anyway, but like, I think my, my body looked all right. I was tan. I was tan. I was tan.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Yeah, I guess so. What percentage of people are going to try the vinegar thing now? They're like, oh, are you really tan? Let me try the vinegar. Listen, I grew up in Alabama where we had a shitload of horseflies and nobody ever sprayed me in vinegar. Nobody ever suggested spraying me down. It could have been to fuck with us.
Starting point is 00:47:58 I don't know. It could have been to be like, look, we got to toughen this kid up. Right. So we got to get him out there and like having kids pick at him so he can, I don't know, get the. So he can spend the rest of his life overcompensating. Yes. It's a bizarre move.
Starting point is 00:48:10 One way or the other. Yeah. Yes. Just to spray yourself in vinegar is very strange. Yeah. We should have, we should have my mom on the podcast and have her answer for it. I just feel like I don't remember anything. Oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:19 You're supposed to get vinegar all over you. That's what you do. Stop, Robbie. You loved it. When was your mom, when did your mom and Mary get together? How old were you? Oh, very young, nine, 10, something like that. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Yeah. For they've been together forever. So she was involved in vinegar. But it depends on who you ask. These were nurses, by the way. Yes. Mary was not a nurse. My mother was.
Starting point is 00:48:46 My mother was. Oh, I thought Mary was also a nurse. Actually, at this point, my mother was not a nurse. She was in nursing school. She was, she had just transitioned from pyramid scheme salesman into, she was like, we had this thing called shackley, which is basically neutral, neutral life or, or Amway, like it's in that. So it's like a supplement.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Yeah. Supplements and vitamins and whatever. And, and I just remember they were, there was like shackley pills everywhere. I mean, she was, she's a go getter. Like she was like a entrepreneur and was like, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to get up, I'm going to become a part of this thing and I'm going to sell, I'm going to be the best shackley salesman. I'm going to get to the top of this pyramid.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Yeah. And then I just, I don't think anybody bought them in South Philly. That's the thing about the pyramid scheme. It's about selling to the person who's going to sell. Yeah. Yeah. You're constantly trying to offload it, not to the customer, but to the person who's going to be under you.
Starting point is 00:49:35 To a new salesman. Yeah. Yeah. We addressed that on the show as well. Yeah. We hit it off. God, we've done everything, haven't we? We haven't done vinegar.
Starting point is 00:49:43 I mean, maybe we can do a thing about vinegar. I don't know. Yeah. Megan, can you jot that down just so we don't forget for season 16, we want to do a vinegar episode. Yeah. A vinegar should look into vinegar as a sponsor. What are the popular vinegars that are out there?
Starting point is 00:49:54 Well, there's, I tell you, I'm a big fan of a salt and vinegar chip. Oh, come on. I mean, come on. Buddy, I will go nuts on a salt and vinegar bag of chips, man. Yeah. Yeah. Probably the best. I bet you with skin tasted like salt and vinegar chips.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Right. It's salty. Yeah. It's salty. It's vinegar and the sun. It's baking. It's baking into the. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:50:14 It's sweet. Maybe you smelled like a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips. Oh, they don't smell good, though. No, they don't. They don't. Some vinegars chips don't smell good. Not to me. I don't like this.
Starting point is 00:50:22 I like it. Yeah. Well, it doesn't stop me from eating them. Yeah. Maybe we would have been friends when we were kids. What do you think? I accept you. Would you have accepted vinegar kid?
Starting point is 00:50:32 I doubt it. I might have been thrown off by the speedo. Yeah. More than the vinegar. Well, then once I got close, then the vinegar would have just overpowered. Right. You see the speedo and you're like, I'm going to give this kid a shot. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I'm going to give him a shot. And you get closer. He also smells like vinegar. It's like, that's, that's too many things. This is too much. That's too many things. That's too much. You know, to have that on and smell like vinegar.
Starting point is 00:50:53 I don't recall any speedos in New England. I don't remember. I don't recall any speedos in Jersey. So it was just you. Other than us. It was just the McElhinney's. The McElhinney boys. Got it.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Just me and Patrick and I. Yeah, that was it. You know what I'm not a fan of is the thong, like on the beach. Like the thong is very popular. I don't like the look. You like a little mystery. Yeah. It makes it look like a rhinos butt to me.
Starting point is 00:51:18 You know what I mean? Like it's like, like it makes the crack look longer than it should be. Is there also something to like, you know how that thing where like, It looks uncomfortable too. If somebody is scantily clad, it's more attractive than someone who's just like completely naked. Do you see, do you, do you feel that way? Say that again? Meaning like when there's a little air of mystery where you're like,
Starting point is 00:51:40 I can see aspects of your nudity and your body through your clothing, for example, is maybe more attractive than someone who's just like nude. Yes. I agree with that. Yeah. I like a little mystery. Yeah. Like when you see a juicy dong hanging down somebody's pant leg,
Starting point is 00:51:57 is that better than seeing the dong itself? Yeah. Which how do you... An adult dong or a 10 year old? No, no. We're talking adult. Yeah. How do you like your dongs?
Starting point is 00:52:07 I like, I don't want to see any more than half of it. Right. Yeah. Sure. But you don't mind seeing the top. Yeah. A little bush. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Yeah. That makes sense. That's how I feel about the tongue man. It's like, it's like an elephant butt. Meg, do you like to see like a, like an outline? Like would you find the outline of a dick in a pants attractive or just weird? I don't find it, it's like, it's specifically a tool for something. Like to me, it's like a plunger.
Starting point is 00:52:35 I don't care what it looks like as long as it works. Oh, I see. Like the visual element is not what I like about it. Yeah, that's right. That's so... I've never thought of it that way, but you're totally right. But women are generally not as visual. It's a means to an end.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Right. It's a means to an end. Yeah. Like if I was, if the guy was like, I know how to use a plunger. I'd be like, cool. But if he was like, look how cool my plunger looks. I'd be like, I don't give a shit. Can you use it?
Starting point is 00:53:01 Can you unclog my toilet? Yeah. I don't care how it looks. Yeah. You're on the A train. It's 4.30 in the morning. Guy opens his trench coat. There's his plunger.
Starting point is 00:53:09 Right. You're like, buddy, there's not even a toilet on this thing. Why am I looking at your plunger? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is this, man? Right, right, right. What kind of train is this? What kind of train is this?
Starting point is 00:53:21 Fucking smell like vinegar, man. I'm going to take up some photos. Of you as a kid? Yeah. Oh, I'd like to see that. Yeah, because I'm... Can we put those... Do we have a website yet, Megan?
Starting point is 00:53:30 We have a social media presence. We do have a social media presence. Instagram accounts. Let's try to get... Yeah, see if you can get your hands on some of those photos and let's get those up on the internet. Let's make sure the world sees them. Great.
Starting point is 00:53:41 Because I want... I want to see them and I want the world to see them. If you're okay with that. Yeah, I think I will. Yeah. And maybe... And this is for you guys out there when these photos hopefully do pop up on our social media.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Go ahead and take that photo and put some stinky lines coming off of him, you know what I mean? So that he's like... What was the kid from Peanuts? Yeah, Big Ben. Yeah, Big Ben. It was a Big Ben, yeah. Yeah. But it's like vinegar just sort of like, you know, baking off of your body.
Starting point is 00:54:10 So if you can improve upon... But don't put any flies on him. The flies will be around him, but they won't land on him. No, yeah, they won't. Yeah, the flies... They'll come in and be like, nah, not that guy. Let's go get the other guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:19 Just like the girls. Yeah. They'd be like... Yeah, same. But vinegar is the same effect. Yeah. She was repelling flies and friends. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Every time you went to the beach. But I wasn't like, yeah, get me. I was like, I don't... Get me. I hate vinegar. I just... Mom, can we just not? She's like, look, you just got to do it.
Starting point is 00:54:36 I'm like, okay. It's like brushing your teeth. Now, Dad, let me ask you this. Did you ever... Did you ever get your way? And mom was like, all right, fine. We're not... We won't do the vinegar.
Starting point is 00:54:44 And let's see how you did with the... With the horse flies. Yeah. Yeah. Well then, yeah. I don't know when the transition was to me... Did you ever get bit by a horse fly? Oh, fuck yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:53 It sucks. It fucking hurts. Say that doesn't hurt. I don't know if it hurts in Jersey, but they were the same... It's the same idea. Right. There weren't any horses around. They were mean.
Starting point is 00:55:02 They were fucking mean. Like we would be swimming in a swimming pool, like at our house or my friend's house or whatever. And there'd be like... There'd probably be like one horse fly who was just like, just wanted us. You know what I mean? Just wanted to get us. And why?
Starting point is 00:55:15 Why? Are they eating whatever they bite? Are they eating? What suckers are they? Or are they just... What do they have to do? ...warning you away from their... Right.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Their children. Their children. Their turf. Yeah. Their fire children. Are they protecting their fly babies or are they... Eating their skin. Are they having a little nibble?
Starting point is 00:55:32 Yeah. What do they want from us? Female horse flies require blood during summer's mating season, which is why they bite people. Okay. So they want, but they'll take the blood of anything. They want blood. Like women. Right.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Like women. Who's... Right. During mating season, they will... They need your blood. They need your blood. They want your blood. So that's what they're after.
Starting point is 00:55:51 They want to get under the skin, get that blood and then... Yes, the females. Yeah. Okay. And they do this to... They'll do this to any animal, right? Not just humans. Yes.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Obviously, they're called horse flies, so they do it to horses, but they'll take any kind of blood that they can get. God, what an existence. Just flying around me like, I need blood. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Just looking for fucking blood.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Just fucking flying around needing blood. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Can you imagine? You see like a group of kids playing in a pool and you're just like, I can't... Look at all that blood. Oh, shit, they're covered in vinegar. I can't get to their blood.
Starting point is 00:56:28 God, no. The life of a horse fly. The life of a horse fly. Right, guys? Yeah. Nice to see you guys. Is that it, guys? Are you...
Starting point is 00:56:39 Yeah, I've overextended myself, you know, probably to make up for the years of abuse. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, from the kids. Yeah, you were the vinegar kid and you'll never be able to let that go. I'll always be the kid with the little dick that the smell like vinegar, in my mind. So I have to achieve proof. Achieving? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:00 I don't know. And what is that? Something to prove. Yeah, something to prove. Something to prove a chip on my shoulder. Doesn't everybody have that like a little bit? Yeah. Something to prove?
Starting point is 00:57:08 I think anyone who's an actor in Hollywood has a little bit of that. For sure. Like, I got something to prove. Yeah. Kind of thing. Yeah, yeah. Let's say my chip is, yeah, directly proportionate to... The size of the chip is directly and proportionate to the opposite size of my deck, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Right. Yeah, the smaller the penis, the smaller the penis, the bigger the chip is what you're saying. Yeah, I think maybe, yeah, maybe. Yeah. It's a salt and vinegar chip. Salt and vinegar chip. And with that, that should be the end right there, that's...
Starting point is 00:57:34 Great. Can you guys give me one favorite and clap? Yeah. I can't clap. Oh, yeah. I can't clap.
