Starting point is 00:00:35 This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Hi everyone, let's chat about therapy. Therapy is essential. It's non-negotiable in your self-care routine. When life gets hectic with activities and projects, it's easy to lose sight of your priorities. That's when a therapist can be a total game changer. Like my therapist has been for me, and I really mean that. I love you, Dr. Linda. Never skip therapy day with BetterHelp. Visit BetterHelp.com slash I actually was listening to my recording when I sent it to Josh for the last episode. And it just sounds so insane just to hear me with no music going, freedom! Freedom! Let's separate.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Let's get the stems from this episode. Just have Lauren going, freedom! Oh, gotta get the stems. Give me those stems. Oh, give me those stems. I eat it all from the seeds to the stems. Welcome back to Freedom. I love that chicken from Popeye's. Welcome back to Freedom, the show.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Yeah, welcome back to it. Whoever's listening, if you're listening, you better have listened before. If you're a new listener, go back. You are going to be lost. Honestly, would you be lost or would you just be like... You'd probably be like, oh, they're telling you a new story. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you would think every story was new. I think you would be like, why is this fun?
Starting point is 00:02:22 I think you would be confused as to why someone recommended it to you. And I think you would realize that life is finite and you have better things to do. But welcome to it. But if that's you and you fit the box, then please stay. If you fit the box, please stay. If you're box shaped. We need you. If you fit the box, please stay if you're box shaped If you're if you're one of those boxy droids from Star Wars, yeah guy who looked like a box CH-1033 Speaking of boxes best best end to any pilot ever,
Starting point is 00:03:06 the show Profit. Oh yeah, I remember that. And Adrian Pazdar, the best ending of any television. This TV show ran three episodes and the end of the third episode, or the end of the pilot. No, it ran a whole season. Did it run a whole season?
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah, yeah. I thought they yanked it pretty quick. The end of the pilot, this guy, that's what I heard. Well, before you talk about the end, you gotta talk about like. The beginning and the middle of it, who made it and who started it and who's in it
Starting point is 00:03:31 and why is it good? Gina, John and who knows who. I don't remember anything about it except the box. Well, he's. There's some incest. No, he, Adrian Paz. I remember there's some incest. Adrian Pazdar is a scheming businessman
Starting point is 00:03:46 who's in control of everybody. Ooh, he loves it. And is always, you know, he's super rich and wearing the best suits. He's like money, money, money. I love my suits. And no, it was canceled after three episodes. My gosh, I don't know how I saw more than that.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Oh. So he's this scheming rich guy, right? And then to give him some humanity at a certain point in the middle of the show, people are like, why are you such an asshole? How'd you turn out this way? And he's like, because when I grew up, I had nothing. I grew up on the streets.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I had to live in a cardboard box with my family. And ever since that day, I decided I was never gonna return to those days again. And everyone's like, okay, whatever, standard characterization. And then at the end of the, this is what the other characters say. At the end of the episode, he finally does some like really evil, shocking thing to someone.
Starting point is 00:04:34 And then he goes home to his penthouse, strips off all of his clothes and his entire penthouse is bare except for a cardboard box. And then he jumps into it naked and goes to sleep. He jumps into it. He's like woohoo. Like George McDuck in a big swimming pool full of money. And just oh it was so fun.
Starting point is 00:04:56 So good. Aw. You know Adrienne. Aw that's cute. I'm so happy for you guys. Adrienne Pazdar of course the subject of Gaslighter by the Chicks. Oh, oh, that's right, because that's her, Natalie Maines' ex-husband.
Starting point is 00:05:11 That's right, that's right. Ex-husband. And he turns out to be a gaslighter. Gaslighter. That would be terrible to have a song written about you, wouldn't it? If it was negative, for sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:22 I feel like there are so- Like, there was a song written about me, like, I love your muscular. Yeah. I feel like there are so- Like there was a song written about me, like, I love your muscular body. And I was like, oh, okay, that's okay. And you wrote the song, right? Do you feel like the term, do you feel like the term gaslighting is being overused?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Cause I feel like I'm hearing it for every situation under the sun. Yes. Yeah. And then I saw there's a new show called Gas Lit or something, like that, you know, people jump on these words. Oh yes. These words, they jump on them. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Gotta use them. I was looking at these words, Michael Richards, these words, these words. No, don't. Oh no. I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What a recovery.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Don't look at it. What a recovery. Imagine someone look at it. What a recovery. Imagine someone having to look it up. Imagine someone knowing who Michael Richards is. Kramer, my dear boy. Did you watch the Friends reunion? Were you reunited with your friends? I did watch it.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I did. I thought you might. Did you watch it, Paul? I haven't seen it, no. Not yet. You know, I was really excited to sit down you watch it, Paul? I haven't seen it. No, not yet. You know, I was really excited to sit down and watch it. And I was pretty excited when I saw that it was two hours long. But yeah, I overall, I enjoyed a lot of things about it. I did get depressed afterwards.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Oh, really? Because you were no longer young? Kind of. No, I'm not kidding. That's what a lot of nostalgia is, is just like, remember when I was young and everything was so fun. Yeah, and it was so focused on just remembering it as opposed to, I don't know, I guess I don't know what I thought it would be,
Starting point is 00:06:57 but it made me feel kind of sad. And then I was like, wow, it's been 17 years. Like, I don't know. Like, it was just like, I don't think, I wasn't like, I'm old, but I was like, wow, it's been 17 years. Like, I don't know. Like, it was just like, I don't think I wasn't like, I'm old, but I was kind of like, wow, that felt like a lot of time has passed. And then I felt like I was like seeing into all their psyches and like, it was just like a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Right. Do you, what, was it mainly like them just kind of going down memory lane and James Corden asking, what about this, what about this, what about this? Well, it wasn't just the James Corden stuff, which I was happy about. They spent a lot of time when they first arrived at the actual studio they used to tape at, at a recreation of the set. I think they spent a whole day there, at least one or two days there. And they kept intercutting stuff, but I think they...
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah, they reenacted, they reread scripts, they played games that they played on the show, all that kind of stuff without James Corden, because the James Corden stuff was, there wasn't a lot of meat on that bone, I thought. I agree, but I didn't need them to be like a fashion show with like Justin Bieber. It's so interesting.
Starting point is 00:08:04 What? Yeah. Here's my theory on it. What are you talking about? They do like a runway fashion show of like, highlighting costumes. With Cara, I forget her last name. De La Vigne. De La Vigne.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Like doing these friends. Cindy Crawford. Cindy Crawford doing friends' costumes and stuff like that. But here's my theory is that when you, to get the friends reunion, they had to pay those six people an inordinate amount of money. And once you have that amount of money-
Starting point is 00:08:31 Well, they haven't been working since friends. Right. But once you have that kind of money sunk into something, you have to start hedging your bets everywhere. And that's where the Lady Gaga of it in the city. That's where everyone- But we didn't need that. And the BTS.
Starting point is 00:08:44 No, you don't need any of that stuff. But once they spent all that money, they're like, we better put BTS in this for 10 seconds. Otherwise we won't get the BTS fans. What? I actually, I actually liked the part where they just talked to fans who had gone through a hard thing and friends was a show they watched when they were going through something hard.
Starting point is 00:09:02 And that made me cry. And I thought Lisa Kudrow was fantastic. And she seems really down to earth. And Matt LeBlanc seems really down to earth. I mean, they all they all seem fine. But it was just like, I think I wanted more of just them talking. Yeah. And and just a conversation. Well, that's why I didn't like the James Corden stuff all that much,
Starting point is 00:09:21 because in front of a live audience, you're putting on a show instead of you kind of like talking, you know. Yeah. Yeah. And I liked when they would be like, Oh, do you're putting on a show instead of just kind of like talking. Yeah. Yeah, and I liked when they would be like, oh, do you remember this? And someone's like, oh, not really. Like when they were just like hanging out, that was more interesting to me than.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Someone would say, do you remember this? The other person would say, oh, not really. Yeah, well, I kind of did like it because it was like real. Like they were like talking about if they've watched the show and some of them have never really seen it. And like, then they would show. I liked how they showed the clips, but then I think, I think that's what made me feel kind of sad.
Starting point is 00:09:49 It was like seeing the clips and then like seeing them talk about them. And then they also said that they haven't been, they haven't gotten in the same room since then. And I was like, wait, what? Like, really? You were like, I think two of them probably moved to New York or whatever, or one of them, you know what I mean? So it's like all six haven't been in the same room. Maybe. That's a long time though. 17 years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:10 I think there would be some sort of informal like, hey, let's get together whenever someone... I feel like a 10 year reunion would have made sense. Yeah. Privately. Privately. Publicly, 17 is good. Publicly, I was like, why not 20? Why are we doing 17? And then they said...
Starting point is 00:10:27 Yeah, why not wait till you're in the ground? Because the movie 17 again. Get buried next to each other. Starting Matthew Perry, right? I like that movie. It was in his honor. I like movies where people become young again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I want to see... I want to see if I can guess what was in the Friends fashion show. Yeah. I wanna see, I wanna see if I can guess what was in the Friends fashion show. Okay. Yeah, let's do Friends trivia, first of all. So Paul, guess what was in the Friends fashion show. I wanna say, they recreated when the outfit,
Starting point is 00:11:01 when Joey wore all of Chandler's clothes. Yes, that was the big finale. But he, Joey actually put it on, not in the thing. Not in the thing. Oh, Matt LeBlanc put it on, okay. He disappeared from the stage, he like, and no one saw him get off stage, and then he put that on secretly.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Well, there's no way that they didn't see him get off stage. I don't know, Matthew Perry snuck off several times during the show too. And he just left. He's not there. Maybe he was marketing his sweatshirts. I posted about this on Twitter, on Instagram. I somehow got on this mailing list for,
Starting point is 00:11:40 it's just like famous people merch. And the people listed were Matthew Perry, PewDiePie, the Weasley twins from Harry Potter. I saw you post this. I didn't know if that was real. Yeah, it was real. It was real. And Matthew Perry has some merch line
Starting point is 00:12:00 that I guess he participates in because he must get some of the money. It's not like Matthew Perry merch it's like oh yeah he's like modeling it on Instagram yeah there's a picture of him anymore of a t-shirt yeah yeah it's all that it's all could this blank blank blank uh-huh and it was really weird and by the way we should sell those for freedom we should just be anymore of it I wonder if Could this be any more freedom? Could this be any more of a freedom T-shirt?
Starting point is 00:12:28 Do you think we would get in trouble? Do you think we would have to go to court? No, who could sue us? No one owns that. Okay, wait, Paul, keep guessing the fashion because you were good already. The leather pants, Ross's leather pants. Cindy Crawford wore those.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Which is like when it's a beautiful woman. There's nothing humorous about it at all. It's just a beautiful woman wearing leather pants instead of like a dorky guy wearing. Maybe I will watch this now. Well, it's kind of what made the fashion show kind of weird because it's like hot women doing things. And then like they had Justin Bieber.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Okay, well, keep going. But like she's just wearing leather pants. It's not. Yeah, it was bizarre. If anything, they were slightly ill fitting leather pants because they were Justin Bieber. Okay. Well, keep going. But like she's just wearing leather pants. It's not. Yeah. It was bizarre. If anything, they were slightly ill fitting leather pants because they were like for a man. Okay. All right. I give them credit for that. You know your friends' episodes. The Princess Leia slave outfit. Was that in there?
Starting point is 00:13:17 No. No, unfortunately. But that's probably a rights issue. I'm out of friends fashion. No, come on, come on, come on, come on. How about, think about. I can't even remember what the other three were. Think about Halloween or holiday related costumes. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:34 So there's an episode where Ross is dressed up for Halloween. He was a dinosaur or no, he was a Hanukkah animal. You're getting close. That was for Christmas episode. There was close. That was for Christmas episode. There was one. It was for Christmas episode. Who else was in it? It was Sean Penn or whatever was in it.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Ew. Is that right? Yeah, cause he was like, I was so embarrassed because Sean Penn was there and I had to come in dressed as a blank. Oh, God damn it. He was like a, it was like a furry animal, right? Well, this is a separate,
Starting point is 00:14:05 we're talking about two different things. The one I'm trying to lead you with is where he was like, I had to come and dress as a, it was a pun, it was a space pun using a food and an object. It sounds terrible. Anyway, Spudnik. Spud, he's a dress as a potato. I don't remember that at all.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Okay, and then he was the Hanukkah armadillo or whatever it was. Armadillo, that's right. And that one Cara Delevingne came out in and Justin Bieber came out in the potato. And you know, it's just, it's too many things. It's like, I don't need this level of distraction. I want to watch the friends talk. Yes, but they're afraid that teenagers will not watch it unless they're teenagers. Yeah, but it's like, get over it.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Like, why should they watch it? Did they advertise any of those people? No, but of course, word of mouth gets around. Oh, sure, we're now, of course. You gotta check out Justin Bieber in this fashion show. Yeah, thankfully he didn't speak or anything, but. He just danced. Here's my theory about network television shows doing Halloween episodes.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah. More, more, more, more, more. It's really fun for the costume department. It's really fun for them to make these elaborate things. And it always, whenever anyone shows up in one of these things, I'm like, this, if any of my friends did something this involved, they would have, like, it would be more involved than anything, you know, but every single person
Starting point is 00:15:32 in the show is doing something that involved, and it always takes me out of the scene. It's not realistic. That's funny, because it's like, no one would ever just show up in like a wig and be like, eh, I had it laying around. I'm a lady. I went to a thrift store,
Starting point is 00:15:42 I put on an Afro in the 70s bell bottoms. Hello, right? Hello. I Went to a thrift store. I put on an afro and 70s bell bottoms. Hello And Merry Christmas I Feel like but I think like most shows that would do a Halloween episode like that Would be more for kids wouldn't they like? Like shows like community and everything and, and all of, all of them, they all do these, these 60 minutes. Yeah. Leslie's tall. He came in as the stopwatch.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Two of them came in as a stopwatch and they were embarrassed. Yeah. But there were no other ideas. There were no other ideas. One came in as Zombie Mike Wallace. One came in as Zombie Stopwatch. It was like. Ha ha ha, Zombie Stopwatch. Hey, I wanna see some people wearing this Halloween Zombie Stopwatch. Zombie Stopwatch, please.
Starting point is 00:16:37 It came from Freedom. If you don't, If you do not save this idea for the next few months and be the stopwatch, you are failing us. Be the stopwatch or fail. Yeah. As Yoda said. I really haven't planned a Halloween costume in ages. It used to be such a bummer
Starting point is 00:16:57 because I would wait until the day of and then before Halloween super stores were all the rage and they were open year round, you'd have to try to find something at a store and they would be all sold out and then you would have to go to a thrift store. And there would be like a guy outside the thrift store going, come on in, we got Halloween costumes.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And then you get to the front and there'd be a line cause it was all a bunch of guys like me who had waited till the last minute. They looked exactly like you. Yes, it was all my clones. It was your head. And you'd approach and the guy would like look you up and down and go. Okay, let's see We got we got some army fatigues probably in the back
Starting point is 00:17:33 Why were they helping you? Because they're trying to sell thrift store clothes that have nothing to do with Halloween He's like, I don't know put these together your business lady. Uh All right, you're a dead guy. Okay, put these together. You're a business lady. All right, you're a dead guy. Okay, put this on and now you're a mop. All right, get out of here. Get the fuck outta here. When I moved to LA, I was kind of shocked
Starting point is 00:17:55 by how many Halloween stores there are in LA. It's too many. There's so many. It was good for when I was doing sketch because then anytime I needed anything, I'm like, I need a witch's hat. I'm like, I don't know where to. I'm like, I know where to go. I used to live right down the street from one and constantly just in there like buying
Starting point is 00:18:08 a makeup for like videos I was making and then just sketch things. Your personal videos. Oh yeah, because a man wearing makeup, Lauren, is too feminine. Is that what you're trying to say? I'm picturing you putting on your Joker makeup and jerking off. See, I'm picturing putting on your Joker makeup and jerking off I'm picturing silence in the lamps Watch it over and over again and no one else ever sees it
Starting point is 00:18:37 I'm doing you walk into the store. I'm doing another one of my videos I need It's more clown white. Clown white. Did Superstore ever do a Halloween episode? They should have, yeah, I bet they did. They must have. Here, let's look it up. Superstore Halloween episode. Oh wait, I can't just say something out loud.
Starting point is 00:18:56 What? What are you on, the Enterprise? Oh, I have something to- He did look around at four different screens. I have something to ask about Star Trek, and I know this is not the pod directive. That's right, but listen to the pod directive. The other thing is, I'm sure this is well-trod territory, but it comes up every episode. Why are there no seat belts?
Starting point is 00:19:18 That is WTT and I don't know the answer except that they're in space. Well, how about on reality recap? Yeah, Garcelle was not wearing a seatbelt in the back seat. And I feel like a lot of people on reality TV don't wear a seatbelt when they're in the back seat of a car. I don't like that. Did you say Garcelle? Garcelle. Who's that? She's one of the Real Housewives.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Of where? Beverly Hills. That's where I want to be. Where I want to be. Gimme gimme. Gimme gimme. There are a lot of Halloween Super Story episodes, apparently. Okay, well then good, because if there weren't, that would be stupid. There's one where Colton is where, I think he's from Coming to America, and someone's
Starting point is 00:20:01 a bee with a question mark on their body. Spelling bee? I don't know what that means. That's what I was thinking. and someone's a bee with a question mark on their body. I don't know what that means. There's a lot of- That's what I was thinking. Mark McKinney is a cowardly lion type. America for a lion type. Cowardly lion type.
Starting point is 00:20:13 You're a cowardly tiger. We're looking for a cowardly lion type. Uh, this one actually is a little more realistic, I feel like, other than Colton. Like Colton's is too well made, I think. But everyone else looks appropriately handmade, I feel. It would be fun to see more handmade costumes on Halloween episodes. Yeah, it would.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Just real shitty ones. Just terribly shitty Halloween costumes. You know what I hate on TV? Production value. Forget it. I want to see it. I want to look like the people are real and they did it themselves. I want it to look like the people are real and they did it themselves. I wanna look, I want it to look like trash.
Starting point is 00:20:47 You're trash. You're trash. Okay, there's one where someone's a cowboy, someone's a sexy red riding hood, Colton is Indiana Jones, and Mark McKinney is a chef. And someone's a bottle of mustard. Gun to your head. Could you name a fourth
Starting point is 00:21:05 superstar cast member? Uh, yeah. Don't look at them. No, there's uh, what's her name? Uh, Lauren Ash. Okay, there we go. Yeah, I'll take this gun away from your head now. There's Lauren, there's Colton, there's America, there's Mark McKinney. No, those are the four I know. There's the guy from Mad Men. That's right. I don't know his name. Ben Feldman. Ben Feldman. Thank you. Great guy, supposedly by all accounts. No, actually no one has ever said that to me. So I have no idea. If something comes out about him, he's canceled. I don't know him. I don't know him.
Starting point is 00:21:42 I've never heard he's a great guy. He's canceled. Here's one where America is Mario from Super Mario Brothers. And it looks really cute. Racist. But you know, there's something... As an Italian American, I'm very offended. There's something about, like, a Halloween episode that I guess I... It's like, I...
Starting point is 00:21:58 I think what I don't like about it is that everyone is a random costume, even though that's realistic. It's like, I'd rather they all just like, on that episode, they're like, let's all dress as like, ketchup and mustard and related things. Yes, ketchup and mustard related things. Hamburger, hot dog. Oh, those are the things you put ketchup and mustard on.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Peanut butter jelly. No, no ketchup and mustard for peanut butter and jelly. I'm crying. You're wrong. I don't know why I would want that. It's not realistic. Does anyone ever do couples costumes on the Halloween episodes? Yeah, they sometimes will show up of like,
Starting point is 00:22:33 hey, we did this. Could my voice be any higher? Paul, have you never seen television? Yeah, what is going on? I mean, it's been a long time since I've watched a sitcom like that. Been a long time. Been a long time. Been a long, long, long, long, long, long's been a long it's been a long time since I've watched a sitcom like that Since I've watched a TV show that did that
Starting point is 00:22:56 Nice someone is a patch What are you still looking at someone's a hot dog look this is a ketchup and must be related This is I believe this is America. I can't really. Now you're looking at. So I think you should leave. Okay, Scott, I need you to, your screen time is done, honey. Oh, okay. All right. Sign off, buddy. But just, I just wanted to. Sign off, buddy.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Lauren, you're not gonna call your child buddy, right? Come, come, buddy, dude. Come here, buddy. Little man. I don't know why that grates on me so much. It grates on me too. Yeah, it's like. Cause everyone does it. Oh, I hate it. And sorry, me so much. It grates on me too. Yeah, it's like. Because everyone does it. Oh, I hate it.
Starting point is 00:23:27 And sorry, if you're listening to this and you call your kid buddy, it's cool. Yeah, I mean, I get it. It's a thing that people do. Everyone does. And honestly, I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does. It doesn't, I guess it doesn't really bother me, but yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I don't see myself doing that. Because you call Mike buddy. Yeah, I call him pal. Well, he's your buddy and he's your pal. I call him my biff. I play... I think if you call your kid buddy, you should call your kid butt buddy. Hmm. And why do you think that?
Starting point is 00:23:56 Cause then it would cheer you if that happened. Sure would it? Or would you just get used to it? I had to play a dad in a period piece, which said in the 70s, and some of the dialogue had me calling the kids buddy. And I was like, can I change this? It's not what we did back then.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Maybe pal, maybe champ, I don't know. Friendo. Friendo, sir? Um. Doctor? My buddy went viral on Twitter. Yes. Yeah, dude. Fuck yeah. And Casey Faye.
Starting point is 00:24:32 He went viral. Yes. Yes. Three year old niece requested a Lion King birthday. Oh, yeah. I retweet where Scar was dead at the part where not Scar. We're Mufasa is at the base of the hill after scars killed him Because she thought everyone would be so sad when they looked at the cake that she would get to eat the whole thing So and you know what I loved is I knew it was true right when I saw it but then someone's like there's no way that kids son that and then someone like
Starting point is 00:25:03 someone's like, there's no way that kid's son that. And then someone like linked to the bakery who had already posted about it and how like they were so excited to make this cake because this was their request. And then there was someone was like, I'm glad you have the receipts. Like there's just like this whole, like it's just the way everything goes.
Starting point is 00:25:16 No one wants to believe anything anymore because if you believe anybody, you're an asshole. But a very true, but, and I ascribed it to philosophy. I think that with kids especially there have been so many things that people have said that you know are not true. People disbelieve everything. But I'm like you'd have the whole cake made and then make up that lie. Exactly. Exactly. This is not Ruth Konda forever. You know what I mean? Oh, that one. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:47 That one was amazing. But was that a joke or was that someone really said it? I mean, someone claimed someone else. Someone truly claimed that their daughter, because Chadwick Boseman and Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in quick succession. Little suspicious if you ask me. I think they had a pact. And, um, this woman, uh, tweeted that her, she had to tell her, her daughter about the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Starting point is 00:26:13 And the child was like young. And it's also, you don't have to tell your children about the deaths of Supreme court justices at all. It does not affect their daily lives. And the daughter, according to this woman, crossed her arms over her chest in the Wakanda Forever salute and said, Ruth-Konda forever. That didn't happen. That's so annoying.
Starting point is 00:26:42 There's no way. It's like if it did happen, you're grounded. Yeah, go to your room forever. Fuck you kid, I would say fuck you to my child. I would say fuck you, how dare you? That's just so insane. Have we talked about this? What is the first celebrity death that you remember?
Starting point is 00:26:59 I think we have touched on this. Just because, yeah, no one, like I would imagine when Chadwick Boseman died, some kids had to be told about that. Oh yeah, he was like a superhero. Yeah, like if a superhero dies, it's a big deal. I don't remember being really little and like thinking about this,
Starting point is 00:27:23 but I remember when John Ritter died, I cried. Yeah, that was a tough one. But I was older. I don't remember who died when I was like really little. That was like- But like, I don't remember Richard Nixon. No one told me, no one informed me about that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:39 Like no one- Oh, when he died? Yeah. How old would you have been? I would have been, well, he died in what? 79 or something like that, or 82 or something. Let's look him up. How old were you?
Starting point is 00:27:51 I can't think of how old that makes you. I guess we're about to find the fuck out. Okay, Richard Nixon died in... God, there's too much information about him. When did he die? Oh, 94. Oh, 94. Oh, yeah, I would a lot too much information about him. When did he die? Oh, 90, oh, 94. Okay. I would have been way too old.
Starting point is 00:28:07 You're like 20 and a, but I still don't remember it. You were probably just high. Wait, what was I doing? Okay. So in 94, I would have been back here. What was it doing in all of 94? So I was here and OJ Simpson did all that stuff and drove by the Olive Garden. Same year. Same year.
Starting point is 00:28:25 Same year. So yeah, but it had no effect on my life where obviously I don't even remember it. Do you think OJ killed Richard Nixon? I don't know, it's suspicious. On his way? I have a lot of, yeah, on his way. I have a lot of questions.
Starting point is 00:28:39 He just drove over Richard Nixon. Well, it's not too far off from where he was driving because he drove by us in Orange County and Richard Nixon was in Yorba Linda. That's right. But I guess- I'll never forget that fateful day when I watched that footage on TV.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Of Richard Nixon's death? Yeah, because they interrupted The Simpsons and then it was him, just a white Bronco for hours and hours. They don't make them like that anymore. One of the details in that, OJ, was it OJ Made in America, the one, the mini series? Was it American?
Starting point is 00:29:12 Where Cuba Gunning Jr. That was American crime story or whatever. American crime story, yeah. I really liked that mini series. Like we really enjoyed it a lot. One of the details that I did not realize was a true thing was that pizza pizza places were running out of pizza because people were ordering pizza to watch the chase.
Starting point is 00:29:33 So I love that they included that in there. That's all that's all based on a great book. That was my favorite book about the trial. I used to read books about the OJ trial. Wasn't that the Toobin book? Yes. Good old Toobin. In his spare time, he wrote a book. Oh, and he's not busy. What happened with that situation?
Starting point is 00:29:51 What happened with it? He did it. I know, but I mean- And we all laughed at him. OJ, you mean? Jeffrey Tubin releases a book if I did it. If I did it, here's how I would have done it. I would have stood up and pretended I didn't know the camera was still going. So gross.
Starting point is 00:30:06 He got fired, right? Yeah. From whatever he was doing? That's it. Well, what else is there? Now he's opening for Louis C.K. But his books were great. But isn't that considered indecent exposure or whatever?
Starting point is 00:30:22 What? Isn't that considered indecent exposure or whatever. What isn't that considered like indecent exposure or whatever? Or two decent exposure. It was decent because of what I could turn off my camera. Decent amount of. But like, isn't that isn't that a thing like that? I would imagine it would be. I would imagine it would be right.
Starting point is 00:30:37 You prosecuted over the Internet. I don't know. You're technically in a public place if you are in a room. But I guess you're in a chat room. I guess you have reasonable doubt if you say, no, I didn't realize that was happening because I can't prove that you knew. Well, who's the dude in some in Canada or whatever, who's done it? Justin Trudeau. Oh, no, he's done it. Like he took a shit on camera or something recently and he was like,
Starting point is 00:31:01 and it was the accidental second one where he's like, after the first one, he's like, this will never happen again. And then like he took a shit on camera, I think. And people were like, okay, this was just a few days ago. Oh, I didn't know about that, but there was one where like somebody took their zoom into the bathroom and they thought they realized that they were seeing. I remember that. And that's pretty insane. By the way, speaking of zooms, I was talking about them with a friend
Starting point is 00:31:25 recently and we were saying like, oh, they're so great. You never have to drive to the Fox live for meetings anymore, but I can, I found something that's bad about them. Okay. So were we supposed to chime in like, what did you find? So I So I worked all week on this presentation. I was gonna be over Zoom. And- About how monkeys fly out of your butt. Yeah, exactly. It was like, show the ins, the outs, mainly the outs.
Starting point is 00:31:56 And I was, and my Zoom meeting was at one o'clock on Friday and worked all week on it and then like for an hour before one o'clock I like was going over it and reciting it and all this kind of stuff at 12 in the course of human evidence at 1259 canceled yeah that's definitely an issue I feel like that's happened a lot. Or that would never happen if you drove to the Fox lot. They would cancel. I started rolling away. If you drove to the Fox lot and they were running late, they would say, hey,
Starting point is 00:32:35 we're running late, but we'll still see you. Whereas for me, it was like, what are you doing in two weeks? Like I'd prepped for a full week. That's so annoying. Yeah. But here's my question. Yeah. Do you- Am I the only, I'm sorry, go ahead. What, now what? I was just gonna say, am I the only one that would have been psyched? That it was canceled?
Starting point is 00:32:51 I love when shit's canceled, but I would be annoyed because if I was ready to do it. Exactly, yes. Like, that would be very nice. Especially with a week of prep, like all leading up to it. It's too much effort and then your nerves and whatever. But my question is, do you like doing that on Zoom? Because I have found that I really,
Starting point is 00:33:08 I don't like having to present or pitch on any situation, but Zoom may be worst, worse, I mean. Yeah, I don't have pitches. This was more of a conversation that I had to be very prepared for, but more of a free flowing conversation. But I had typed out the conversation in advance of like how I wanted it to go.
Starting point is 00:33:28 And so then they'll say this, and then I'll say this. No, I mean, like it was more of like, hey, what do you wanna do with this project? And so I typed out like the point. So I wouldn't forget anything. Make a billion dollars. Yeah, you know, have an IP and explain it.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Really stick it to my ex. How can we help you? Oh, thank you. I think in various ways. an IP and explain this. Really stick it to my ex. How can we help you? Oh, thank you. I think in various ways. Yeah, but I mean, so now I have to prep. Now I have to prep for another week for the thing in two weeks.
Starting point is 00:33:56 Which could be canceled again. Yeah, exactly. So that's what that's about to do. If the prep is already done, why would you have to have another week's worth of prep? No, I know, I really only have to do like a day for prep now. Because I wrote everything I was going to do. Just to refresh yourself.
Starting point is 00:34:10 But yeah, I'm just going to forget about it. That's the other thing. Before you re-rest yourself. I had so much momentum and passion for it. And then it's like, oh, by the way, can you do this in two more weeks? It's like, well, am I going to lose interest in this in two weeks? Yeah. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:34:23 And then it's like, why is it two weeks from now that that's when they're available? It just feels like a long time and blah, blah, blah. I think that's standard now that if anything gets postponed, it's two weeks. Is that so? It's like daylight savings time, they made a rule. Did this conversation sap the energy
Starting point is 00:34:40 out of everything somehow? You guys. Not me. I'm still raring to go. I'm freaking out over here. Okay, let's go to a break. Lauren's falling asleep. That's not true. It seems a little true.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Okay, I'm tired. Ah ha ha ha. I think there's a reason they call it a health journey, right?

Starting point is 00:37:52 Yes. What? Were we saying the same thing? No. I was saying we're back. What were you saying? I was saying, come back. Come back, everyone.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Come back. Oh, that's a good plan. Listen. Come back, everybody. Come back everyone. Come back. Oh, that's a good plan. Come back everybody. Come back, we're here. We know we gave you a stopping point to never come back, but please come back. Yeah, but no, please.
Starting point is 00:38:13 How many times do you do that with a TV show? Like if a commercial comes up, just go like, fuck this, I'm out. Every single time. Oh, never. Oh. You see it through. I will, I watch everything to the end. I'm... But I know I am.
Starting point is 00:38:28 It's actually I'm more likely to watch like this is what I find kind of weird about myself. I'm like, I haven't watched Mayor of Easttown, but then I'm like, I have seen every episode of This Is Us. Like, I will catch up on my weekly shows that are on my DVR. But then it's like, maybe I need to DVR Mayora B. Stone. So I'm going to HBO Max. So like, forget that it's there. Right. I have my rotation. I go to the DVR first and clear that out of whatever has been taped.
Starting point is 00:38:56 And then I have my rotation of like, go to this, go to Netflix first, and then go to HBO Max, then go to Paramount Plus. Like I'll do like a cycle through to see what's new. And if you don't do that, you have to wash your hands 50 times. Yeah, of course. I, we have, we have pretty much stopped using our DVR. Yeah. I mean, we, we watch all streaming stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Like I can't think of anything that we're recording regularly anymore. Well, I'm kind of, see, I like the old-fashionedness of the DVR. Like, there's something about it that I just appreciate, even though all those shows I can get on other platforms that I also have. So I feel like I have thought about canceling cable, but then I really like just having it as an option. Yeah, for like an OJ chase. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:40 In case he starts chasing people again. Yes, he would. Do you think he was chasing people? Yeah, I mean, I'm familiar with this. OJ was chasing people. Who was he chasing? He was chasing Richard Nixon. He finally got him.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Do you remember? He was chasing the cops, but he lapped them. Oh! They were so mad. They were like, oh, that OJ. How did that vocal get so fast? That and them OJ boys. I feel like there's not anything that we watch night of anymore. It's been a long time since we saw something that's like, we gotta watch that.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Long time, long time, long time, long time. Lonely, lonely, lonely. Times I watch something live. I bet when Better Call Saul comes back, we will probably watch that. Yeah. And it airs as well. Mainly because the stupid AMC channels are all on a terrible app. And that includes my show. Look apps for the most part stink. Well, I like them, uh, like AMC plus or something. There's too many, too many apps, too many apps.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Yeah. Like I like the ones that combine a whole bunch of different channels onto one app. Like those are are discovery plus Yeah, HBO Max is a hub But what I don't like is like peacock sitting there with only NBC shit And then they have a super expensive tier right that does it without the ads and even though I can afford it It's the principle of it, so I refuse to pay for it. Yeah, well, it's too many. It's too many little things I mean at that point then you should cancel your cable,
Starting point is 00:41:05 and then you pay $100 in apps. Yeah, but I like watching news on cable live and stuff like that. But I guess you could on apps now. That is the one. You could, but it's not quite the same. Like, that is one of the things that we will do every once in a while with regular TV is watch local news,
Starting point is 00:41:23 which is fun to do. Local news is such a bummer to me. I can barely watch it. Why Scott, honey? Because it's all about, it's, it's, you know, after watching Nightcrawler and then breaking down, you know, how much of it is just about the most sensational story of the day,
Starting point is 00:41:37 which is always murder. You know, the whole, if it bleeds, it leads. As Frazier told us. Frazier said that? Yeah. It was some movie. Was that in the scrambled egg song? No, no, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:47 If it bleeds, it leads. It's a little aside at the end. But I still don't know what to do with those ocellas and scrambled eggs. If it bleeds, it leads. He was in some movie with Robert De Niro that was about, this is a long time ago. Raging Bull? Yeah, Kelsey Grammer was in some movie with Robert De Niro that was about this is a long time ago Yeah, Kelsey Grammer was enraged
Starting point is 00:42:12 Did you fuck my wife Yeah, he only Kelsey Grammer played Frazier claim Frazier crane exclusively Frazier claim He played my twin's his evil twin. Ah, Flasier, we meet again. What was the name of that movie? It was Robert De Niro, Kelsey Grammer was about network news and Kelsey Grammer famously said if it bleeds it leads. I don't remember. No one did anyone want to, should I look it up? I'll look it up. Look it up. I'll look it up. Robert De Niro.
Starting point is 00:42:51 I bet that's one that if we didn't look it up, people would have been fine. Like, they were like, yeah, you know what it's called? What? What's another way to say a quarter of an hour? 15 minutes. 15 minutes. 15 minutes. Like 15 minutes of fame. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Like that's what they take it from. Like 16 minutes shorter little sister. They all overdress up like stopwatches. Edward Burns, Robert De Niro. Oh, Edward Burns, sure. Remember him? Yeah, the Brothers McMullen. I don't.
Starting point is 00:43:23 He's still doing a lot of the big stuff, isn't he? I think he's on some TV show now, but I can't remember which one. Wonderful. I can look that up too. It's wonderful. Thank you. I love that he's working. Publish morals?
Starting point is 00:43:36 I love that he's working! I love Bridgintunnel TV series. First season is available. Bridging tunnel on epics created by Edward burns written by Edward burns directed by Edward burns. It says United States. That's fun. Cause it's a low E I mean a low lowercase E.
Starting point is 00:43:59 That's funny. I read wall E as wall air. I read it as Wale. Wale. Wale. Can you sing as WALL-AY. WALL-AY! Can you sing a low E, Lauren? Can I sing what? A low E. I don't know, sing it. L-O-O-O-O-O.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Do you know what a note is without keys? No, I wish I had perfect pitch like Chevy Chase, but I don't. Yeah, I have a friend who has perfect pitch, it's pretty cool. Well, who else can you name that as perfect pitch? And Murray. My friend.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Actually, Mike Malarkey, who did our theme song. He's got perfect pitch? Yes. So does he have the kind where you can say, you can sing a note and then he goes, oh, that's a C sharp? Probably. Probably, yeah. But that's so fascinating.
Starting point is 00:44:39 A person like Chevy Chase who has perfect pitch, who can just hear a song and then play it on a piano, or it's just, I wish I had that perfect pitch. Yeah. Where you just hear it and go, Oh, I know all those notes. And then you can just read. I thought perfect pit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:54 All right. I think Paul, what you're thinking of is someone who can keep a perfect pitch in their head, not perfect pitch, if that makes sense. It doesn't. I, I don't know what, how did we get here guys? in their head, not perfect pitch, if that makes sense. It doesn't. I don't know. How did we get here, guys? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:08 I'm scared and I need help. It's so c-c-cold here. Oh, you know what it is? When was the last time you guys were on a horse? Can I just mention perfect pitch? Absolute pitch. Ooh, absolute pitch. Absolute pitch, often called perfect pitch,
Starting point is 00:45:24 is a rare ability of a person to identify or recreate a given musical note without the benefit of a reference tone. That's what I'm thinking of. That's what I consider perfect. Meaning if you hear a note, you can go, oh, that's a C sharp and you can recreate it. Right. Yeah. Or if somebody tells you do that right now, you can do it.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Yeah, you can do it. Yeah. But what if someone just goes, la, then you go, la. That's not perfect pitch. That's just hearing something. She did it. She matched it. Laurie, you're a perfect pitch. That's amazing. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:55 I was on a horse in Costa Rica. That was the last time I was on a horse. How many years ago? Probably six, seven years ago, somewhere around. And what'd you think about it? It was fun. I was a little nervous about it. Were you on the beach?
Starting point is 00:46:07 No, it was not, it was the cloud forest part of Costa Rica. We split up our Costa Rica trip. You rode on a cloud? The first part was in a cloud forest, which was so nice and relaxing and awesome. What's this avatar? Cloud forest? Yeah, and I stuck my blue ponytail up my butt.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Nice. Up your own butt? You're not supposed to do that. Yeah, I know. They say it's unsanitary. And then I went, and then the other half was on a beach on a resort and because it was Christmas and it was like, oh, let's get some sun. And it wasn't as fun, but Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones was there. It's Christmas.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Let's get some sun. Michael and Catherine Zeta was there. I have not been on a horse. The only time I've ever been on a horse was a summer camp experience when I was, I don't know, nine, 10, something like that. Oh, and what were you afraid of? I was, yeah, it was scary. I was a little kid way up high on a horse. And do you think you'd ever do it again?
Starting point is 00:47:02 Yeah, I think I would. I think I would. I think I'd be more interested in it now, but not so interested that I'm pursuing this in any way. Because there's like horse trails and stuff in LA, and you can take like horse rides up the canyon and stuff like that, but I haven't really been that interested in doing it. Motivated. Yeah. Do it this week. That would be really random. So random.
Starting point is 00:47:29 I was, you know, it was weird when I was in Costa Rica, there were all these things that I normally would be too scared to do, but like for not wanting to Christopher Reeve or, you know, on the horse, but I went on the horse and then the- That's a nice way to put it. The zip line was- Did you do the zip line?
Starting point is 00:47:45 We did the zip line above like a massive drop, above a massive, massive drop. And I was- The zip lines are scary to me. I've done one, but it wasn't that big. So I was nervous and Cool Up I think was nervous. And then I talked to the guy who operated it and I was like, so how often have you done this?
Starting point is 00:48:05 He goes, I do this about seven, eight times a day, every day. And I go, okay, how many accidents have there been? He goes, none. I was like, oh, I mean. That's all, I mean, weirdly that just put me at ease where like he's never seen an accident. He does it with so many times and so many people.
Starting point is 00:48:23 It's like, yeah, you forgot that lying was a thing. Yeah. I think I would do it. I think I would do a zip line. It was fun. It was really fun. Well, what do you think? Would you do it?
Starting point is 00:48:36 I don't know. I mean, the one I did was like very low key compared to that. It was at a camp that I worked at, but. Oh, that's right. You were babysitter, camp counselor, movie star, and now stay at home mom. Yes. I plan to never work again. Um, I, uh, but I, I get scared of that kind of shit.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I think I'm more scared with the climbing up than I am with the going, zipping, you know. This was not climbing. Mine was not climbing up. You literally like walked away from the hotel about three minutes and then you were at the edge. It was like, basically you're just at an edge. So you just like hook yourself up to it.
Starting point is 00:49:15 There was no climb. It was just like, and then you just step off and. That's better, but that's still scary. I think it's the height drop that is the scary part to me. Yeah. But I think it'd be fun. Are you scared of heights in general?
Starting point is 00:49:30 Yeah, I guess so. I mean, if I don't- Here, let's see, stand on your tippy toes. Ah! Oh man, she got freaked out. I mean, I like, for example, I went to the Willis Tower, FKA Sears Tower in Chicago, and they have like one of those glass holes in the floor,
Starting point is 00:49:46 you know, on the top. Oh yes, yes, yes. Where you can, and I'll stand on that, but I still- That's a little freaky. I'm a little scared, but like- Do they tell you you shouldn't wear a dress? Yeah, cause like the people on the ground floor, so it's like a hundred stories down,
Starting point is 00:50:01 but then there's guys going, oh my God! Underwear! Underwear! like a hundred stories down, but then there's, there's guys going, Oh my God. That's why you're not allowed to have cell phones in there. Yeah. And then like the like floor cracked because of their screams and they made the rule. I didn't know that the Sears tower had its name changed. Yeah. Probably 10 plus years ago.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Is it because Sears is no longer a thing? I mean, are they completely out of business? It was purchased by whatever Willis is. Arnold's brother? Yes. And I was like, what are you talking about when I heard the news? What are you talking about, Sears Tower? The original catchphrase. Sears, it's hard to believe they'd be out of business.
Starting point is 00:50:44 I mean, that's where my family shopped for everything. We would go to Sears. And you feel like you would have kept them in business? All the time. For Toughskins, that was their brand of corn. Yes, Toughskins, absolutely. That was a condom. Do you remember, there was a, Lauren, you didn't think that.
Starting point is 00:51:00 We'd go to Sears for our Toughskins. Everyone get in the station wagon, we're gonna buy condoms. I remember there was a commercial for tough skins where they put the jeans on a robot. For the robot to like try to wear them out. This was the proof that they were very durable jeans. And you know what they were? Oh yeah, I remember this. Robots famously like move so much.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Yeah. Well this robot did Lauren, I'm going to find that commercial. Yeah. Cause it wasn't like those dog robots, police dog robots. No, no, no. This was a old fashioned 1950s robot wearing some 1970s jeans. Um, but tough skins were stiff as shit. I remember how stiff those jeans were. Like they would hurt the backs of your knees because they were so stiff.
Starting point is 00:51:48 And the cords would always make the whish, whish, whish sound whenever you walked in and it was so embarrassing. Well, that's the beauty of cords. Have you guys seen that commercial for the Domino's delivery truck that has nobody inside? It's like a robot. What? That's illegal, I would think.
Starting point is 00:52:03 It's, I can tell if it's real or a joke. I think it's real. It's like a little car that has nobody inside it. There can't be total self-driving cars on the road. I'll find out. I think legally. But it's not like a full-size car, right? It's like a little robot car.
Starting point is 00:52:21 I feel like I have seen footage of this. I think that Brett, our own Brett Morris, I think, uh, it's real captured some footage of driving around the city streets. Here I want to put it in the chat. I think the drones thing is going to be really weird. It's on streets. Domino's is launching a pizza delivery robot car. Oh, but it's not on the streets yet.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Well, that was a while ago and now there's commercials. That was in April. Now it's May. By the way, we're not taping this in May. We're taping this a couple hours before you hear it. It's very fresh. A couple hours. It's very fresh.
Starting point is 00:53:04 I mean, this thing could not be more adorable. Could it be any more adorable? But in the commercial, there's like, could this T-shirt be any more adorable? Let's start selling them guys. Come on. Could this pizza be any more in a robot? Let's sell that shirt at least. Could this pizza be any more in a robot
Starting point is 00:53:20 with a picture of a robot and a pizza? He's wearing it as a hat. Prove this has anything to do with you. I like that. So could this pizza be any more in a robot with a picture of a robot and a pizza. He's wearing it as a hat. Prove this has anything to do with you. I like that. So it's a, could this pizza be any more in a robot, but he's wearing it as a hat. So the answer is yes. It could be more in him. Exactly. That's our way around it. And there's a yes on the back. Like answer. Yes. Come on, let's start selling Josh. Make some notes on this. Come on, let's start selling. Josh, make some notes on this. Come on.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Why do we have to do everything? Josh is our dad that we have to ask permission to sell the t-shirt. Can you please make a t-shirt? Josh says he's on it. On the pizza? Thanks, Josh. On the robot or on making the t-shirt?
Starting point is 00:53:58 All three. Oh wow. He's on a pizza, he's on a robot, and he's making the shirt. Paul, did you get the, what was the Icy, that was it making the shirt Paul. Did you get the what was the icy? That was it Sears that they made was it what was it called? Was it was it icy? It was like a slushy. They had no I don't remember. Well, I guess in the Sears by my house It had that was a bragging. That was the treat
Starting point is 00:54:20 rich kid Yeah, we were so the The Sears by my house. The Buena Park Mall. Um, it had- Well, at our goodwill, this election is enormous. You said you shopped at Sears! That's why I'm asking you!
Starting point is 00:54:38 Scott, I'm not- Stop fighting. I'm doing a skit, I'm just doing a skit. I don't like your skit. It's a fun skit about like a poor kid bragging to another poor kid. Oh, okay. I like this. This is a good sketch.
Starting point is 00:54:52 This is a good sketch. We should just pitch this to Netflix. Just this sketch. We don't want to do a sketch show. We just want to make this sketch. We would like you to produce our sketch and run it on your channel. It's like funny or die suddenly. They just start making one sketch.
Starting point is 00:55:06 But the cop, but you cannot produce any other sketches. Ours will be the only sketch on Netflix. But everything else is a skit. I'm going to pitch some skits to them and I want to have a skit show. I think a skit show is an idea whose time has come. Yeah, it's all like football players in high school. Wasn't that what the guy said, Nate Cordray said on Studio 60 when he was yelling at his parents? Oh, about the difference between a sketch and a skit?
Starting point is 00:55:35 Yeah, his parents like nicely came to his work and he was such an asshole about it. Hold on a second. They were not nice. Do you remember the dad yelled, your brother's standing in a field in Afghanistan? Well, that's because Nate Cordray is such a dick before that. He's like, they go visit him. They're cool about it. They're like, you know, it's a terrible sketch show.
Starting point is 00:55:53 They never say that to him. No one ever speaks that aloud. Right. No one ever says that. And then Nate Cordray is like, oh, this, can you imagine Abbott and Costello performed here? And they're like, who's that? And he's like, Abed and Castello. And he gives them a history of comedy. And then he's, and they're like, okay, well, whatever, you know, your skits are very funny.
Starting point is 00:56:13 And he's like, it's not a skit. Skits are what football players and cheerleaders do during pep rallies. This is sketch. This is sketch. It was, it's, he gets, and then, and then it leads to your brother's in a field in Afghanistan and you're arguing about a skit versus a sketch, get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 00:56:32 I'm gonna have to watch it again. I gotta do my- Well, I actually was gonna watch that whole series, but then I saw I had to pay for it. And I was like- Oh, who, Erin Sorkin? I'm out. Amazon.corn.
Starting point is 00:56:47 You didn't check YouTube? I didn't check YouTube. Let me check YouTube. By the way, almost everything's on YouTube. What is that noise? What noise? Is it windy? Is there a plane flying overhead? Is somebody running the vacuum?
Starting point is 00:56:57 Oh, my computer just started whirring. Oh no, your computer's all hot. Take all the blankets out. Take all the blankets out. Take all the blankets out. All right, wait, Lauren's going to fix this. We're going to take a break. Are you a pop culture connoisseur with strong opinions?

Starting point is 00:58:29 We got your cards and letters. Please keep doing the three chairs. Well we're going to we're going to play a game submitted by a card that was like a Christmas card that said go to hell. It was very weird. Yes. And it was old lady writing, you could tell. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:46 By the way, I'm having an affair with her. What? Nothing, you didn't hear that. Cut that out, Josh. This game is called Menacing Phone. It is submitted by Camden Brazil, B-R-A-Z-I-L-E. Two people play a scene and at any time- Like come out of Brazil? Yes, exactly. That's why I'm pronouncing it, but people play a scene and at any time, yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:59:05 That's why I, I'm pronouncing, but maybe it's Brazil. Two people play a scene and at any time the third person can call one of the members in the scene and give them menacing information about the scene slash other player that impacts the scene. Example, is he really who he says he is? You get the idea says Camden. Camden, maybe we're not as smart as you think. Yeah, maybe you want to list a couple other. But here's the thing. So I think that the third person who's not in the scene can call either person throughout the scene. Yeah. And give them information. So I think
Starting point is 00:59:42 this sounds like fun. The way we're going to do it, since we're doing this over Zoom is we will, when we are the caller, we'll mute our microphones. So you, the listener, will hear the phone calls, but the other players will, the other player will not. Yes. So the player who is not receiving the information will not hear the phone call. The player who is receiving the information will receive the phone call that's exactly
Starting point is 01:00:06 right yes that makes sense so who does what I'll be the caller okay okay great so I'm gonna mute myself yes on zoom yes ma'am, and she is muted. Okay. And she is muted. And now Scott and I will begin the scene. Oh, hello. I didn't think anyone else would be here. Oh, yeah. I've been here for, god, like 20 minutes already, I think. Wow. Yeah, it's, I got to remember to check my phone. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Excuse me one second. I've been waiting for a call. Excuse me. Yeah, absolutely. Hello. You should tell him that you know what he's been up to and it's not good. Okay. Thank you. All right.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Thanks. Bye. Oh, geez. I dropped my phone. Hold on. Let me pick it up. What a weirdo. First, he's here ahead of me.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Hey, uh, can we just cut the shit for a second? I beg your pardon? I know what you are up to, and it's not good. What are you talking about, sir? Excuse me, I'm getting a call. You're being very rude, that's all I know. Hello? You're worried because you think you think that he saw you spying on your neighbors.
Starting point is 01:01:30 But what he really saw was that you were stealing candy from the break room. All right. I know what you think you saw, but I can assure you it was a understandable mistake, a trick of the light. I- Well, how could that be a trick of the light? The thing that I saw and that I certainly didn't just hear about on this phone call.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Well, because the lighting in that particular space is very erratic and it could make it look like shadows are doing things that they are not doing. It seems unbelievable to me. Can you take me to the space? Take you to the space? I. What are you doing? What was that?
Starting point is 01:02:14 Just nothing. Excuse me. I have. Oh, sure. Hello. Tell him that you're casting your new, your new reality singing show. Yes master. Did you say, I'm sorry, did you say yes master? Oh no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:34 I said yes mister. It was a trick of the ear. Interesting. So here's the deal. I know what I saw. I know what I saw. I saw what I saw. But you're in luck because I'm casting a new reality show and what you did would be perfect for it.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Oh, do I admit what I did? All right. Yes, you did see me stealing candy from the break room. Well, you're in luck because... Excuse me, I have to take this. I'm telling you about a show that I want to cast you on. Yes, that's the good... Hello?
Starting point is 01:03:10 Tell him you need to be paid 250k per EPP. Well, good news. I'll do your reality show, but my price is 250 K per app. Excuse me. I don't have time to negotiate. I have to take this call. Yes. Hello. Tell him your budget is one dollar per app. OK. We have a problem then, because our budget is one dollar an episode. So we're going to have to work within those parameters. I'm sorry for the whole show? Per episode, $1.
Starting point is 01:03:46 That's including everyone's salaries, equipment, catering. Would you shut up for a second? I have to take this call. Hello? You have to tweet and expose him. Now, there was a word I couldn't understand, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do. Hold on a second.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Okay. Hello? You have to tweet and expose him or underpaying his employees. That's what I thought. At first I thought you said tweak. It's gone. Are you okay? You're taking a lot of phone calls.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Yes, I'm just going to Twitter. We're in heavy negotiations here. And I'm exposing you online. Soon you will be canceled. What? Unless... What did I do? You agree to my terms.
Starting point is 01:04:30 Excuse me, I have to take this call. Hello? Confess that you've always wanted to be canceled. You feel left out. OK, you want to cancel me, bro? Yes. Go ahead. I want it. I want to be canceled just like everyone everyone because all the cool people have been canceled and
Starting point is 01:04:49 I want to be like them. So go ahead and do it. Ah, he's right. You good looking person. Thank you. Oh, I have to take this. Hello? Tell him you're flattered and you want a kiss.
Starting point is 01:05:10 I'm flattered. And I want a kiss. Hey, look, maybe you're getting the wrong idea about what I said. Good looking person. Uh, I'm really just, oh, pardon me one second. Tell them what you meant is that you want to have sex with him, but no kissing. I'm hanging up on this.
Starting point is 01:05:36 Are you all right? Are you crying? Look, uh, can I confess something? There's a mysterious puppeteer who tells me every move that I make and they want me to have sex with you. Oh, hold on. Hold on. Hello. Stop revealing my identity. Look, here's the deal. She told me that if I ever said who she was, she would kill my entire family. But I can't take it anymore.
Starting point is 01:06:05 I don't wanna have sex with you. Do you wanna have sex with me, really? Not really. I mean- No! I was just doing what the mysterious puppeteer was telling me. Excuse me, I do have to take this. No problem, no problem.
Starting point is 01:06:17 Hello? The answer is not really, but I would. Here we go. Sorry. I messed up what I gave my answer previously the answer to do I want to really have sex with you is I can't remember now yes I yes I do and hold on a second about to get a call. Okay. You can just tell that you're about to get a call. Here it comes. Oh, wow. Hello?
Starting point is 01:06:48 It was not really. I can't hear you. Wait, what? What? I didn't hear that at all. They hung up. Look, we're obviously being led by the dicks by some weirdo who wants to be in charge.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Is your family in danger too? I am an only child. Hello? The answer to the question, do you really want to have sex with me, is not really, but I will. Here we go. Okay, thank you. The answer to this question, do I really want to have sex with you, is not really, but I will. Here we go. And scene. And scene. And the two guys had sex. That's awesome.
Starting point is 01:07:29 It was good. It was fun. Good for them. It was fun. That's what it's one on one. Loved it. All right, I liked that game. Do we have time for another?
Starting point is 01:07:39 I think we're running out of time. Yeah, it was fun. All right. I liked it. We'll do that one again. We'll do that one again. Thank you. Miss Brazil. But all right. Well, everybody that does it for another edition of freedom. We hope you're healthy and happy and hung.
