Hey, welcome to Questions for Lennon, the advice podcast where we answer questions emailed in from our listeners. I'm your host, European rock and roll guitarist, John Lennon. I got to tell you about a meal I had last night. Everyone knows one of my favorite foods is spaghetti. And I went to Don Rico's, which is right on the top of the Empire State Building. They put a new restaurant up there.

And in Don Rico's, it's simple food done at a high elevation. And that's what I love about it. It's very nice to eat. So this is just a little plug. Don Rico's, get up there to the top of the Empire State Building and try that. It's the three, what they have, what I had was the three-yard long spaghetti noodle. And it comes with a meatballball with a small meatball and an extra long spaghetti so get up there to don rico's folks we got a great show for you today

a fantastic show we've got a guest you know we've got we've always got guests on the show and this this show is no different please welcome well you know you know this you know her to know her is to love her she you know her from the show on netflix called love you know her. To know her is to love her. You know her from the show on Netflix called Love. You know her from the movie Extraordinary and the movie Trainwreck. We got to ask her about that. And coming up on NBC, Peacock, Killing It. Please welcome Claudia O'Doherty. Oh, my God. Thank you so much for that amazing introduction.

I've never heard it called NBC Peacock before, John. I always say that because you say Pe peacock and people look at you like, you can't say that. You can't talk like that. They think of the bird and not the platform. Right. Right. And people, the crowds I hang out with do not like me talking about birds.

No, no, no. They don't appreciate it. And I tell them, no, no, you don't understand. It's NBC Peacock. Yeah. no no they don't appreciate it and i tell them no no you don't understand it's nbc peacock yeah and then they're saying well now i'm already you know i'm on my hbo max all the time i said don't worry about that one get rid of it get rid of netflix peacock get the nbc peacock peacock's the one although do, do you know, I, as of yet, don't subscribe to Peacock. Sorry, NBC Peacock.

Thank you. I had no idea. I was like, okay, just go to a zoo and get the... Oh, what? No, I don't know. Martha Stewart has a lot of peacocks. A lot of pet peacocks. She loves them.

And you're not talking about the streaming network. You're talking about... No, no, not NBC Peacock. The animals. The birds. Fully, completely the birds. the birds with the huge feathers if you do have an nbc peacock subscription i would ask you and the listeners to all cancel your subscription and then re-subscribe when killing it comes out out so the numbers for the show skyrocket sure because you're looking for you're looking

ahead you look what you want season two i want a season two you don't even care how season one ended you want to move on exactly let's keep going let's tell more of this story let's yeah claudia needs another uh level on her yacht so let's start season two and three exactly so how many levels you got on that yacht these days 17 levels it's big it's and it doesn't it's thin it's thin so it can go down canals etc it is good in that way but it can't go under bridges right so it's tricky it's tricky in that way it's tricky you know and the lock system in most canals are helpful but not with 17 feet no they do not work now you said you said uh you said canal and then you said etc i can't imagine what other waterways you'd be talking about we don't have

time for that so i was i was uh we're talking about creeks you know putting a yacht in a creek you know that you know that better than anyone well Dawson's Creek that seemed like a bit pretty substantial waterway that's a fictional show they can make up anything they want the creeks of this town are as big as canals

but you're thinking of New York creeks because that's where you are right John I'm right here in New York creeks. Because that's where you are, right, John? Right, right. I'm right here in New York City. Yes. Yes, I'm thinking of the New York creeks that sort of split right down through Manhattan and Midtown.

Exactly. You'll see little kids put their boats in them and they send them away. I think you're thinking of gutters. Gutters. Yeah, well, you know, those things go. If it rains here, you can have creeks all over the city that i guess so anyway i wish we could talk more about my boat i know but we just can't because the the audience comes here for a particular a specific need a specific itch

that needs to be scratched and it's not boats it not boats. It's advice from an icon of the popular music industry. Is that right? Thank you. And an icon from the streaming screen. Exactly. The streaming screen is my field. That's so nice. Thanks.

You're welcome. I've never said, I've never heard you say your last name say your last name for me oh doherty oh doherty with with an am i putting an r in there or am i not supposed to well no because you're okay so you have a liver puddley an accent i think you do i think you guys you say your r's like if you said how would you say the word park park okay so maybe you would that's just how i say it as a little put it i think an american would put like you know shannon doherty yes yes yeah from like just say like that from charms just say like that but it's an o at the front okay that's what i thought but i've never heard

you say it well irish people i wanted to go to the source irish people kind of come after me on twitter every now and again for not saying my name correctly but i how do they want you to say it they want me to say it was an irish accent which is doesn't make sense yeah but i can't suddenly break into an irish accent for my last name timothee chalamet okay right he's that's a french name but he says timothy in in america because he's like i can't make people say timothee right i had a friend i had a friend well we have a we have a i'm not bringing this up because it's a friend of mine. Jessica Jordan. Jessica Jordan.

You can say her name different ways. And I think she says it a different way than everyone else says it. Oh, okay. I think she says Jardine, but I say Jordan. And I've been saying it for years. And so does everyone else. I say Jardine. Okay.

So you, you know, what's going on. I don't. But I just, I guess. Yeah, I guess I'm a better friend. I guess so. Because you take time to listen to people. I listen. Also, reading it looks like it would be pronounced that way. Right, and I don't read. I mean, I can read.

I just don't. Famously. Famously. I just famously don't want to crack books open. You know, I don't need the paper't want i don't need the paper cuts i don't need the paper cuts i i was watching you know you're gonna love this i was watching a soccer game on the peacock streaming and also you do some do you subscribe do you pay i may be i may be using ringos but i'm on it i'm watching it he will give his password to pretty much anyone and you're obviously not anyone when it comes to ringo he's nuts i mean he's absolutely nuts with his money

he doesn't he lets you know i said you could be charging people this and you could make your own you could be your own network and he won't do it he's too nice so you're still in touch with ringo almost constantly almost every day okay you're. I don't see him much, but I'm texting him a lot. You text him a lot. And Paul? Paul, you know, he's got his tour that he's getting ready for with Ringo. So they're

so busy. Do you feel left out? No, they've asked me to go on it. They have. They just don't want to. No, you know, you'd need to. You don't want the hassle. you know you'd need to you don't want the hassle i'd need electroshock therapy straight to the brain to convince me to do something like that i'm not going back on the road good god no i'm staying at home in my apartment i don't need to get on stage and you know waggle my 70 year old what you're not like undercover as the you know

being alive because you have a podcast right right everyone knows whether you can find except you know as it's been said since day one don't tell yoko that i'm alive is that because you have a problem with her or what nope it's because i i borrowed her black beret years ago and i love it and i don't want to give it back and I don't want to know and I'm having a good time you know not seeing it look Yoko's great love her to death but uh I'm having a good time I'm sure she's having a fine time she probably would feel a little better if she knew I was alive but at this point you can't you can't now say kind of obsessed with you right right yeah I got I got blessed I think there are other people obsessed with me too, which I don't mind.

I kind of like the whole thing. What about Sean? Sean Lennon? Yeah. My son, Sean Lennon, you're talking about. Yeah. Now, did I have him with Yoko? I can't remember if I got so many sons.

Yeah, he's Yoko's. He was with Yoko, yeah. And then Julie and Cynthia. Because, I mean, I guess it would make them feel great to know you were still still alive right they know they know they know they know damn well but they know not to tell you go right or each other none of us talk to each other about the other people it's very strange it's mostly just talking about your day talking about what did Ringo call you today no well he called me and then I talked about that for a while right that's kind of what it's mostly just talking about your day talking about did Ringo call you today no well he called

me and then I talked about that for a while right that's kind of what it's all about out of Ringo and Paul who do you like more oh that's interesting Ringo I just spend more time with Ringo Paul knows it too it's not it's not easy to be around easy to be around we like the same types of movies we like the same uh baseball team uh so both love both very into peace and love exactly and paul is too i mean paul is too he just doesn't really talk about it much and it's fine yeah but you have both kind of put peace and love at the forefront of your vibes right right yeah so that makes peace and love you know you talk to anyone they know the ringo clip peace and love peace and love that's right how does everyone how did that get into everyone's uh it seems like a lot of writers rooms all knew about that and passed it along

anyway how would you know that though i spent some time in writers rooms what did you write on that's where we met I met you at love when you were on love at Netflix I was on set you wrote you did you wrote on love for a few I did I did some no I did I thank you I'm flattered I just did I was on set helping out with some punch-up just because I'm you know I'm friends with Judd and he brought me in just because I wanted to see how the whole thing works. I've never been on a set. Yeah. And you found it.

Yeah. Because you've obviously been on film sets before. Right. I quickly had to throw that caveat there. Quickly. I thought fast. I was like, you're on Ed Sullivan. But it was, that was a different time.

A different kind of thing. Different time. Because that's like a performance. It's live TV. It's not like a performance it's live tv and narrative show and i've been on i've been on i've been on sets of reality shows all the time you know game shows which one a jeopardy i went to go see jeopardy and wheel uh and i did go this is when i visited la that same trip i went jeopardy wheel and um what's the one that uh drew carey hosts uh is it prices right bingo and so i went to that too

and i had a great time was the best one uh jeopardy because i'm i was i'm such as i'm a thinker you know i like to see if i can think my way through a thing right oh cool so when you say you visited visited them you were in the audience i was in the audience yeah yeah but but for love i came on set and was you know hung around crafty and yes you were joking around right i'm always joking around on set so if i have no responsibility i take that time to joke to goof off yeah you pitched so much but yeah i did and the how you and i met i was standing by crafty eating some of those uh pirates booty uh popcorn oh yeah the sort of corn things yeah yeah and you you you came up no one else was around you

came up flustered he's like i can You said, I can't do this. I can't do this. I said, are you talking to me? And you said, no, it's just, I don't know how to do this. I'm in a scene. My next scene is a big scene with Mike Mitchell. It was sort of falling in love. And you said, I don't know how I can.

I can't act that much. You know what I mean? I can't get up the energy to act that way to fall in love with this guy i said what are you talking about he's a great guy yeah you did really bring me around on that i said yeah what did i say you said you said what you said was i can't get myself in a place to fall in love with this guy i just can't and i said well who's your favorite you said well of course my favorite is uh who did you say it was my favorite is uh ryan reynolds love him he's you know he's my celebrity crush i said two guys ago

in a pizza place bingo yeah i said to you just remember just think think pretend as an actor pretend mike mitchell is you know free guy himself ryan rey, absolutely. You did it and you snapped into a Slim Jim. I remember that. And you marched right on set. You said, I was Showalter was directing that day. And you said, Mike, you said, Mike, roll them because I'm ready to go. Yes. And also the crew wasn't ready, but they ran, you know.

It was a lunchtime for everyone. A union lunch. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't great but they ran you know it was a lunch time for everyone you a union lunch yeah yeah it wasn't great that i did that but but it was it was one of the only scenes and i think it worked for the show that was shot on show walter's iphone yeah that did give it a real sense of sort of a cinema verite quality exactly and also he shot it vertically of course right well he knew tiktok was going to be so huge so he wanted to get it exactly he was looking forward there and because everyone was like you should really kind of find around but he shouldn't no he shouldn't but to get back to my point i was watching soccer and someone said someone's name on it was Doherty. Now, could that be a way of pronouncing Doherty?

It is. It absolutely is. And you can spell it a few different ways. You can spell it D-O-H-E-R-T-Y like I do, or you can spell it D-O-C-H-E-R-T-Y or D-O-U-G-H-E-R-T-Y. Wow. I didn't get any of that. i while you were saying that i was reaching for a pen or a pencil i didn't have one but i i trust you right the other show we'll go

through it again it means unhelpful and yeah and o means son of so it's like and actually claudia is based on it means crippled because um of the roman emperor claudia okay so my name in total means crippled son of unhelpful okay do you feel that way from day to day i was pretty um sad to learn that when i was like eight and reading all the names books i was like that's an early age to read that it did feel like whenever it was um you know you'd read like i never had the i could never find the key ring with my name on it because it's too weird. Okay. Which has, you know, those key rings with your name. It has the meaning of the name. Oh, no, I don't have the meaning.

Oh, wow. Of John? I don't know it. John. All I know with John is, like, it's the English version of Sean. That's why we named my son sean exactly i think it might be i'm telling you it is i'm telling you what it is what do you think it might be it is i'm saying it's crazy so sorry do you know my grandma once

um sort of uh obviously she didn't know you were actually still fine i'm very much alive and she saw julian lennon he was sitting in front of her at a show at the sydney opera house i would say early 90s late 80s early 90s and she was very she was from manchester similar to liverpool but she was very confident. And she tapped Julian Lennon on the shoulder and she was like, are you Julian Lennon? And he was like, yep. And she was like, I'm so sorry about your dad.

He was like, thanks. That's, you know, late, what'd you say? Late eighties, early nineties? Late eighties, early nineties. Late eighties, early nineties. So it wouldn't be. Sorry about your dad. I guess a lot of people probably say that to him. Yeah, mate.

Well, and just that's good parenting hearing that he just said, thanks. Not, you know, he did say, don't bother me. It sounds like he took it pretty well when he was being kind of accosted by my grandma. Right. Well, you know, us Lennons were polite but then the back of our minds were thinking end this conversation don't bother me leave me alone I'm done here I don't talk to this person I don't know this person but I'm also trapped in this seat because I'm too nice I'm too nice yeah I always have wondered if it was in fact julian lennon because i'm like how is this

how could this story be true that's interesting too it's wild but it might have happened she was very confident when i was a kid if we went to mcdonald's and there were no um empty tables she would just like walk up to a family and ask if we could sit with them and they would let us and she would also bring the straws home because they were like thick good quality straws and run them to the dishwasher and keep them in the cutlery yeah make it make it easy they got some good straws the dishwasher i would have thought they would have melted the straws away no they can withstand that's why you know you wonder if they're ever going to be biodegraded out of our system anyway so you're from you are from australia but did you grow up in england no you've always been

australian yeah you've always been in australia well you've got your grandma coming in from manchester i thought maybe you went with it no i my irish grandfather english grandmother everyone's kind of irish if you keep going back all right we all uh all right dockerty let's get into some questions what do you think let's do it all right we've got this is here we go hey john big fan especially your works with paul mccart Well, there you go. Well, does that make you feel good or bad? What, that I'm associated with Paul McCartney? Just that, like, he's qualified the compliment with mainly the best stuff.

Oh, the best. Yes, not my solo work. I wasn't thinking that, but I am now, so I don't like this person already. And, you know, I could, could i'm gonna read the question we're gonna talk about it but honestly i could give two shits about what this person does now oh my god in their life because you know that this is whoops this is my show you're getting really upset yeah i'm knocking my microphone around this is my show and you know if you want to ask about paul you've said that so many times you keep telling and i know it is your show you well you know right

when why you know because i told you so many times it's true give me two seconds i think hold on i knocked something loose here you've not you were so upset by that yeah, I'm sure you're going to get it. I'm here. Here you are. I'm back. Here, there, and everywhere. You know, that reminds me of an old song we used to do. Let me get to this person's question here.

Hey, John, big fan. Love that. Especially your works works too with W-r-o-w-r-w-w-o-r-k-s you put s on the end of it all right with paul mccartney and exclamation point at the end of mccartney wow don't love that i wonder if paul is the person who wrote this oh my Oh my God, I bet a lot of these are just him trolling me. I think so. I don't like that at all. Okay, dear John Big Fan, we'll leave it at that. I know you were famously shot in December on 19... In December on 1980.

So that doesn't make any sense. On 1980. I'm going to clean this up for him. I know you were famously shot in December 1980. I'm going to clean this up for him. I know you were famously shot in December 1980, but I am asking if you have ever fired guns yourself after that incident. I have gone once, but I think it's not for me. Too loud.

I hope you can answer this question on your radio program. It's a podcast. Best, Sean. Sean. Sean. Sean. Sean. I mean mean this is too he basically this this email has covered everything we've talked about so far yeah my relationship with paul my death my son gun culture gun culture

which is not it's not what it used to be no it's bad news it's in the wild in the wild west it was great well that's what i was gonna have you now have you have you shot a gun no and i'd be too scared it's a little it's a little jarring it's a lot of have you done it i well you said wild west i used to go every summer ringo and i he doesn't do it anymore, but I still do it. We would go to this sort of Wild West fantasy camp. Wow. Yeah, it's in California. It's in Yosemite. You eat out, you stay in these little tents, these canvas tents. Wow. morning you come out and you eat beans that are boiling over a pot on a fireplace and then you sort of hang out during you know in the wild west town and you sort of you have these choreographed gunfights that you get into uh and did anyone ever get hurt uh there was a few guys in our in our um

you know we were you have to get there and you have a group of bandits so we were the the bunk one bandits and the bunk one bandits they were all fun we had a great time but a group of bandits so we were the the bunk one bandits and the bunk one they were all fun we had a great time but a few of our guys just was would not listen to the instructor when we were learning how to ride horses and they went off and we had a couple of sprains and uh one guy broke his arm so he he didn't but not gun related no not gun it was all related you know okay it's all blanks because you can't shoot you can't shoot regular guns that can't be people would but i didn't i just don't know about guns right so i was just on a tv show like in the sense like you're suspicious of them yeah i am suspicious of them because also they go everyone wants you to be very um you know comfortable around the guns to like we're

gonna use this gun don't worry though it's only got blanks or whatever right i mean bad you're right i don't think you can ever trust a gun blank and i don't trust god but also you after being yeah shot and killed you must have some pretty intense trauma attached to guns. It's awful. Yeah, you're damn right. You're exactly right. That's like, you know, guns are, you know, Sean here says they're loud. They are.

I mean, you buy a gun and even the blanks, it's so loud and jarring. It's not fun. Awful. It's awful stuff. Very awful. Does it hurt? Getting shot? Yeah. It depends where you get shot, but yeah, hurts i'm sorry to hear that it's okay that's all right i'm over it i've gotten past

i've moved past it that's amazing have you been in therapy or didn't need it didn't need it yeah no i i thought to myself i can figure out this thing by myself i can do it i don't need anyone don't need to talk about it no if i break a few eggs along the way fine exactly maybe i'll return to life and ignore my wife and never let her in on the fact that i'm right right that could be part of it that could be attached to it but maybe it's just easier for you to compartmentalize if you just shut her out sure sure and it comes out in little ways um road rage or something if i'm driving and i go absolutely at bat shit crazy on someone uh i will shove people i'm known to shove people friends of mine who look at me you know question my intention at all you get challenged by me so

yeah maybe there's something i should deal with but maybe something we will deal with um later okay we'll we will right i i was assuming you were asking me to you were going to be like a therapist oh no no i'm you know an actor so in the comedy in the comedy world. Actor by trade, but you have no degrees in psychology or medicine at all? I've got no degree. I do have a degree. In medicine? Sadly, no. Okay, so that's not going to work.

Well, what is your degree in? Maybe we can make this work somehow. Art, history, and film. You said film with such disdain there art history and film yeah just such a stupid degree pointless but you know i guess it's good to go to college right you gotta go to college and uh sort of get on the uh you didn't try to do the kegs i didn't no i didn't need to no you were having the most fun in the world i bet for a while there for a little while it was fun and then like i said i you can't you couldn't pay me enough money to go out on the road these days yeah weird well i guess because then you'd have

to deal with yoko she'd find out she find out. She'd see one of the posters. That's another reason I don't do any big shows. I don't want the billboards all over town. Yeah, you've got to lay low. I mean, and that's why really living in New York is a crazy idea for you. It's nuts, but you've got to love the city. It's a great city. What an energy.

What an absolute energy. Constantly. It's constantly moving it's a lot of hot go go go right go go go and and that that reminds me of a band from the 80s the go-go's do you ever hear them oh yeah sometimes i'll put my headphones in and listen to them while i'm moving around a great band right they're really australian i believe no no no was belinda carl was belinda carlisle in the go-go's was she the lead singer probably i i am my my hands are less than a foot away from a keyboard that i could type this information in and find out but i'm not going

to do it because i don't want to slow the podcast down. No, this podcast has an amazing pace to it. And to slow it down would be a real tragedy. You can't do that. We're going to keep going. Yeah. And this is sort of, I like to do this at a breakneck speed. Yeah. No, this is, I think the um the reputation this podcast has which is just that it's like very zippy right well there there is a reputation for this podcast yeah and people obviously they're listening at the 1.5 speed but they're not they're not they they look down at the phone they say my god where they stop they turn it down the car hey everyone we're listening to this at regular speed.

And they said, we don't want to listen to it at all, but fine. Do it a little faster, get done with it. Well, yeah, when people come on this show and guests come on, they say, what's the speed like on this? And I say, it's breakneck. It's breakneck. It is absolutely breakneck. There's a little bit of a vetting process to get on this show.

Oh, wow. I mean, it's minor. You know what? I called up your... What is it? I called your manager and your agent and your PR person, who's a great team. Oh, yeah.

So you've got two PR people and an agent and a manager and your lawyer came in and your accountant... Who? Patty, my lawyer your agent too and uh right the whole team was there i said okay so claudia she's in she wants to do this does she realize it's breakneck speed and they said yes they showed me you've been listening to books on tape really fast you've been doing jogging which i said this is that's not a component of it but sure i know but i needed i knew i need i needed just like the right amount of oxygen to my brain to operate you were training up in the uh that's really what it was all about it's all just about getting oxygen in there and you know when it comes to break x

i wouldn't have it any other way i love it it. It's the only speed I want to move at. I love it. Well, you know what's so funny? I had Christian Bale on here once. And I'll never release it because he could not handle the breakneck. Really? He's kind of slow guy. And you know Christian Bale.

You know how he does things. He's so slow and metered. So, yeah, absolutely. I'm sort of growling thoughtfully right growling yeah he wants to constantly put on the batman mask and it's no you've no it's a podcast it's like just just don't no point it's gonna interfere with the audio quality and we are we all say the cowl has been passed pattinson how has been passed to pattinson right for sure well uh sean i hope that helps

god imagine if the next question's from julian well okay that would be wild that would be absolutely crazy okay i don't know okay what was the question what was the question from the gun person the uh guns okay by you have uh have you ever fired guns yourself after that incident right and yes you did at the camp at the you're the wild west camp blanks only blanks only yeah okay that's very good recall i would not have remembered any of that well i as i said i trained but it's podcast appearance right oh so you did some you did some memory exercises extensively well that's what the oxygen really helps with gotcha gotcha yeah now you and now have you been up to the top of uh the himalayas you know uh k2 one of those big mountains yeah how did you find it up there cold it's freezing that's what this is the problem i don't like to be cold but i love summits i know and god i love

that feeling of achievement of you know and i don't mind if it means that, you know, Sherpas die or, you know, people, you know, you might lose friends along the way because the conditions are so, so dangerous. And in a way there's no point because many people have already gone to the summit and you're just going to, if you, if your friends die or these people die it ruins families lives and it's it's pointless there's trash all the way up the mountain

who are you doing this for you you are sort of like wishing for a time in the world where things had not you know you're not a discoverer you're not like you know you wish right but still i love it i just love it it costs fifty thousand dollars right you know it's so expensive and it's pointless but i just you can't stop me doing it you're up there with with branson and musk the whole guy exactly those are you that's your crew that when you say you know those are my guys when you do when you do your memes online and you say something like, when you and the squad show up at brunch,

the squad you're talking about is Bronson, Branson, Musk. Yeah, absolutely. They're just like fun guys. Easy to relax around. Bezos, he's fantastic. So they're easy to relax around. That's interesting.

That's what I'm looking for in friends. And also, you know, high achievement level and billions, billions of dollars, billions upon billions. Yeah. Billions.

Yeah. Yeah. I wish you nothing but the best of luck next time you press the peak. Okay. Let's move on to the next one. Dear John and Richie valens sometimes people they guess who the guest is going to be this of course is not you're not richie valens i wish from what from labamba right yeah labamba yeah wait he did he's he was the singer or was he the no that was lou diamond phillips played him in the movie yeah am i right i just like said that very confidently but i don't know if that's true i think i believe you are right okay dear john and richie val but of course it's claudia

i am a teacher and i have my summers off my wife and I want to take a trip out West from Charleston, South Carolina. Any recommendations? Kenny. Kenny's going West. Can you hear the garbage truck outside my house? I hear some beeping. Are you sure it's not a fire alarm? Are you safe?

I'm safe as houses, but the beeping's stopped now. It's fine. Just don't wonder. There's a lot of noise on my street. Oh, I hear it again again he's going backwards you think there's a lot of construction across the road sorry it doesn't really bother me too much i think it adds texture as we said as we said when we were shooting the scene with uh show alter and you and mike mitchell you know there's beeps in life. There's cell phones in life. There will be beeps.

There will be beeps. That's a good movie title. There will be beeps. If you want to write it, I will happily let you use that title. I would like to do that movie still cast Daniel Day-Lewis. It's still about the oil

from the early 1900s. But there's some beeps in it this time. Well, and also they weren't really beeps back then. You're right. It's a very intriguing title for a movie set in that time. Although it ends, what time does it end? Like the 40s or something? Yeah, he's into it at that point.

They'd be beeping in the 40s or something yeah he's in he's into it at that point they'd be beeping they'd be beeping in the 40s so it's very much more about him being sort of psychic there will have been beeps there will be beep that's a very interesting point you brought up there that they wouldn't know what beeping is back then like in the in cowboy days going back to cowboy we didn't have any beeps at the camp no No beeps. Just like a bell. Just bells would ring when you'd enter a saloon or something. So if you went back in time, you think, and like if you went back in time and were in an old west town, you know, would you like, you know.

I hate that. Yeah. Well, you would hate this camp. So dusty. I just don't like how dusty the Wild West is. I like it when you kind of fall off your horse or something, you get up and you pat your shirt down, the dust kind of comes up. That I do like.

I don't like that at all. I don't like dust movies. Anything that's too sandy or dusty, I don't like it. You're not looking forward to the second installment of Dune, I suppose. I had to move and watch this one. And you're a Chalamet fan, it sounds like. Oh, Timothee, every day.

So the truck's still making lots of noise. Sorry. It is a garbage truck. What was I? Oh, the beeps. The beeps. Don't Oh, the beeps. The beeps. Don't forget about the beeps. Like if you went up to someone in the Wild West

and it would just like, you know, poked one of the, you know, the button on the shirt went beep. What would they, they would not know at all what you were doing. They'd shoot you. Yeah, they'd shoot you dead. They'd be so freaked out.

They'd have no idea what was going on. Beep. I can't believe it. it i mean even if they heard just like an electric guitar they'd freak out right a keyboard they would have to anything that lit up or did anything yeah you would flip Just the look of a keyboard, not even plugging it in yet. John, did you see there was a video on TikTok recently? I don't have TikTok, but I sometimes see things from TikTok. And there was a video of a family. They were all playing a prank on the youngest daughter. Okay.

The youngest daughter was doing a magic trick to see if she could turn herself invisible and obviously the rest of the family had agreed to pretend that she had gone invisible yeah this rings a bell it rings a bell a beep yeah it presses the beep button but in the video everyone else is so convincing when they're acting like she's invisible the girl gets really upset she starts like screaming crying she's terrified because no one is responding to her and because she thinks the magic tricks work right right genuinely invisible and that feels like a really correct reaction anyone would ever have to anything like even vaguely magical happening right it would be so scary it would be so so scary and i do think

movies really miss a trick in it everyone should just be so scared when something magic happens right right rather than amazed you'd be very upset. Yes, you would be freaked. Yeah, a lot of anything that happens in like one of those eight, like high concept. Well, sure. But then you've got a group of people who are expecting that and want that.

I know that Harry Potter didn't know he was a wizard. Yeah, he did kind of take it pretty easily. Like, oh, okay. Yeah, so he's like, oh, great. You're going to put the talking hat on me? Oh, and I'll go with these troops? Okay. Right.

You should be more upset, I think. He's like, I have a scar on my head? Yeah. Instead of screaming. Right. I can move the glass away from the reptile kit so my cousin can fall into the snake pit. I know, Dudley.

Dudley. So sad. Did he end up becoming bad at the end? Did he just kind of get phased out? He, I think, like, just, like, falls into sort of, like, like, dumb baddie, doesn't really do it never gets more evil and like harry becomes confident and a big shot in the wizarding world so it's like who even cares about this guy right right dudley who was it dudley privet no they lived on privet drive wow you've read them

i've listened to them on audiobook and i can't recommend it enough jim dale reads them his name is jim dale and he's been that i don't know but he reads every single book and he does voices for all the characters all the way through jim dale god he should have won an award i mean i bet he did he probably did and also i wonder how much a job like that pays because that's a there's a Because that's a lot of books. Lots of books. And it's a big franchise. Harry Potter.

Huge franchise. You can't walk down the street. Without seeing someone dressed in a sorting hat. Yeah. Definitely. You can buy a sorting hat now i think like nordstrom i know i've got one for every season whoa what's the difference to material the color right yeah well you always i have five you've got the original you gotta have the original

then you've got the winter one which is a little dusted with a little snow on it. Oh, that's nice. So some holiday baubles on it, you know. Christmas. Christmas, right. Then what comes next? Spring, of course, has flowers on it. Oh, beautiful.

A big daisy that sort of grows out the top, because it's magic, of course. And then you don't worry about it. Then summer is very light. some is like a mesh oh wow and right and then fall is made out of leaves that i feel like fall that makes total sense yeah they're synthetic of course but it's you know oh oh really otherwise they would decay bingo the flowers the leaves now you've got organic material but what did we hear the question i mean we ran through the question and this person is going to you're right we did we did do the question uh kenny and his wife are going to take a trip out west from charleston south carolina

and do we have any recommendations oh okay of things to see i suppose uh he wants to know what car to drive i don't know what are you sending him to el capitan oh that would be well that would be fun yeah so go up So go up El Capitan with no... Free solo style. Right, no free solo. They should do that together. So not solo, but still free. Free duo.

Oh, I see what you're saying. Because they're going together. Right, right, right. You know what would be a fun... What about Han Solo? Maybe they should dress as Han Solo. But that's not West Coast specific. No, that's not. But they should dress as Han Solo. But that's not West Coast specific. No, that's not.

But they should dress as Han Solo as they go up El Capitan. Although, he doesn't wear like robes, does he? I've not seen it. Han Solo does not. Too much dust. Yeah, there's a lot of space dust going on in those movies. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Yes, too much dust for me it's not interested not having it nope when the squad says no dust that's right no dust for us that feeling when there's too much dust in a movie yeah we'll maybe not watch it they would okay they're gonna end up out west but they got to do something along the way i'm trying to think of any fun like uh what can you do for the journey not for the destination right because you know what sometimes i've found before the journey is more exciting than the destination wow sometimes i should tell people that more because i don't think a lot of people know about it. Yeah. I think it's a beautiful idea.

You should write a song about it. I should write a book about it and have old Jim Dale read it. Oh, the dream. The dream. If you can get him. The award winner Jim Dale, we assume. Absolutely. If you can get him. What a speaking voice.

What's he on to now? Hmm. Well, we'll have Jim Dale on the next episode. That would be good. You should try. I mean, it would be exciting to hear his voice in live, talking to you. Live and uncut, Jim Dale. An evening with Jim Dale.

I'd go to Carnegie Hall to see that. How much would you pay? To see Jim Dale? Yeah. Read? Yeah. Read? Yeah. The whole series of Potter? Just one book?

Or a chapter? I would do a chapter. I would do $20 a chapter. You wouldn't want the whole book for so long. No. How long does, as someone who's listened to the audio books, how long does a normal Harry Potter book take? God, I think there were 15. Can I guess? Yeah, yeah yeah why don't you guess this i am gonna look up i was too late i was gonna say eight hours but

it's much longer of course right i think i think it's in like the 15 but let me see harry potter oops audio book before you wouldn't look anything up but now but now i want i have to know oh audible okay uh give me a goddamn length please oh my god so i want to make it clear, I don't support J.K. Rowling's... No, I don't think anyone does. Attitude. That attitude, her stances on things seem way out of whack. She's dead wrong on that. Dead wrong on that, and I'm sorry, but we don't follow...

Don't subscribe to that bullshit. This is very interesting. If I'm seeing this right chamber of secrets nine hours long okay uh sorcerer's stone nine uh eight hours long then harry potter and the prison of azkaban 11 hours now this is gonna blow your mind, I think. I think. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, book five, 26 hours. Jeez Louise. Is that possible? That doesn't seem right.

That seems like maybe I clicked onto like a Harry Potter collection or something. Yeah, that can't be right. To go from nine hours to that? They do get longer, but I don't think there was that big a jump to be honest yes it can be they get longer and they get more magical and mystical definitely did you end up did you like ron weasley or did you what bigger fan of the twins oh the um the twins were very cheeky but ron was pretty cheeky too. But Ron played the part. I mean, he was a hero.

He definitely played the part. I think I did prefer, you know, I think I was, you know, happy that he ended up with Hermione. Right. Who did Potter end up with? Ginny? Ginny Weasley. Oh, Ginny Weasley.

We've got to listen to those books she might she might have died because jesus oh my god robert pattinson died all right cedric diggory now he's diggory do we're speaking of diggory do now does that does that just make you miss old queens the queenland queensland queensland australia or is that new zealand no that is a state of australia um but you were sydney you were sydney bound yeah i'm from new south wales new south wales is the state that's the state right that's what i thought um what's the you've never been i've been yeah you have i've been all around that country yeah you toured in 64 that's right of course do you know that i

don't need to know you we met a co-worker so but unfortunately for this but kenny you know he can't do it he can't go to australia right now he's going across the country i'd say stop in chicago and try one of those uh deep dish pizzas go are they good the deep dish pizza yeah they're fantastic really unbelievable no it's not doughy wait have you had wait have you had you haven't had one no i've never had one but it just seems like so doughy it's it's no they cook it they cook it through it's pretty good and they okay you cut it with a fork and a knife it's it's really something else is it like if there's it would it be like eating a focaccia but there's pizza on top yes i think i'm gonna say yes on that but i'm not i don't i'm it's its own thing yeah cool i actually don't i don't like pizza so i don't think i'd like it

is that true yeah you don't like pizza yeah i think i think this is the first time i've ever heard anyone say that it's just such a waste of time okay i just i just i laugh because i'm just picturing the amount of hate mail you're going to be getting here no you see i i've gone on doughboys a few times and almost every time they make me eat pizza and every time i tell them i don't like pizza and mitch loses his mind about it it's like you don't and but i don't it's just who cares about pizza i know everyone but it's just like eating like a toast, a grilled, a toasted sandwich with no top on it for dinner. And at dinner time, I want to, you know, eat like spaghetti. You want a knife and foot. Well, you know what you'd like is Don Rico's on the top of the Empire State

Building. Oh yeah. That sounded great. They do a great spaghetti noodle. So you were saying it's one noodle? It's an extra long noodle. Yeah. And you just, they just serve great spaghetti noodle. So you were saying it's one noodle? It's an extra long noodle. And they just serve you one noodle? They serve it long. Yeah, but they don't curl it up on the plate.

What do they do? It's a long plate. It's a very long plate. Oh, God, it would get cold, especially because it's so high up. It gets cold, so that's why you eat it fast. You kind of slurp it in fast the plate is thin as can be is it's thin just a little wider than a spaghetti noodle and they lay it out perfectly and it's about what did i say uh three yards three or four yards what is that in metric

uh i think a meter is a yard more or less really let me god that's long let me look this up hold on i just clicked off of something are you still there i'm still the hell am i oh god i can't do this with the microphone here it feels all strange uh what was i looking up oh yeah meter yard two yard conversion okay a meter one meter is equal to 1.09361 yards that's great that's pretty close that's a nice easy conversion because as someone who's lived in america for years i've I've never learned Fahrenheit. I've never learned yards, quarts. Don't know what any of it is. And so I'm really happy to learn something so easy. Yeah, just break it all down to yards. Celsius to Fahrenheit is nuts.

Yeah, it's a strange one. Celsius is so easy because the zero is frozen 100 is boiling there we go why would it use that so good instead of 32 is freezing and what is even boiling 150 i don't know i've got no idea it's stupid uh yeah i don't agree with it either i'm trying to think because you're english so you are also doing celsius right exactly that's how i know maybe you're old enough that you did start with fahrenheit in europe or in was it ever yeah i think it was oh jeez i don't know that's well that's that's uh lunacy that's lunacy. That's lunacy. That's the very definition of lunacy. Well, yeah, so all I can say to Kenny here is go to Chicago,

try the deep dish, and get yourself out to the Yosemite and go to the cowboy camp. There's two great tips there. Yeah, that's good. I mean, those are the only two spots you need you going across the great country of the united states exactly what more could they want and and you know have a little fun with it if you're in one of those cars where you can digitally switch the the speed to kilometers go for that wow try it out yeah see how i get pulled over a little bit

but you might just love it yeah that would really spice up the journey I think so and it's all about the journey not the destination right well Kenny I hope that helped we've done it again have a great trip Kenny

send us a postcard to Claudia not to Richie Valens. Not Ritchie Valens. Wow. Can you believe that we helped two people out? I think we helped them really well. We gave great answers.

One wasn't really advice. It was just a question. It was a query. Right. I kind of want to steer people more into asking advice questions not yeah you know history questions so the question was a failure in that regard in that regard but we already had a problem with sean because of uh he assumed i was you know so great because of paul not in spite of paul which i think he was a troublemaker who sean or Paul Sean Sean yeah

Paul was such a good boy I'm the good boy Sean Paul Sean Paul another great musician another one of the greats well one of the best for sure one of the absolute best I forget what song he does same that's it well okay now let's get down to business this is okay let's get down to why your management and your lawyer and your got one of johnny you got a tv show coming out claudia i'm very excited about it it's true that's so nice that is amazing coming from you to have your support.

We got Craig Robinson on there. Craig Robinson is the star of the show. Right. And he and I play snake hunters. Are you like the second lead on this thing?

Yeah. There you go. I know. It's crazy. You're in there. You're in the, you're in the, you're on top. I'm on top of Mount Everest. and this comes out i'm gonna say this comes out mid-april mid-april pending snake effects right now you're talking about snake

effects snow no no that is but there is um yeah there's lots of snakes on the show, less real snakes than I was hoping to work with. But you like snakes. I don't like snakes. I hate rats. Okay. Okay. Okay. Snakes are enemies of rats because snakes eat rats.

So snakes are my allies gotcha gotcha it's simple makes me think of uh sort of the last horcrux that uh old voldemort had what was it in the end i wasn't nagini no nagini was one of them oh from the chamber of secret the snake right such a weird name weird name weird idea horcrux first of all is strange idea secondly in the snake no thanks yeah and then what did they have did they have to kill the snake i hope so i hope well there's a lot of snake killing in this show even though but it was all fake don't worry good yeah i'm glad i'm glad you two you know just weren't as humans not act as killing snakes down in uh it's true shooting all right new orleans okay bye
