He is an armchair expert, but he makes mistakes all the time. Thank god Monica's here. She's got to let him have the facts.

Is this a recording? Are we in a recording? Yeah. So, to catch everyone up, I have um my back is hurting a little bit and my

You have a UTI? stomach is I don't know what it is but I I have something maybe and it's I think due to an increased water intake.

Yeah. Yeah. Um to which I said only you would think drinking a lot of water could detrimental.

Um but the reason I drank more water. Yeah. Tell me. I have something that's changed my life.

Oh my goodness. I know. It's a big deal. Big update. Huge update. I got a new planner.

Okay. Like a day planner. Yeah. But it's specific. It's like Is it digital or paper?

It's paper. Yeah. Good. It's a paper planner and it's it's very specific. It has your top three priorities for the day and then it has tasks. You can write your tasks and it has like it has like

priorities differ from tasks, right? So you could have like eight tasks, but you have three priorities for the day. So like you might not get everything done, but like the

priorities are the most prioritized. That's right. Okay. So what what were your priorities? I'm really curious. I wouldn't even know how to answer what my priorities are.

Okay. So today my priorities I think one of them is to visit a friend who is in the hospital after having a child.

Okay. That was a that's a priority. Yeah. big one there was shoot I didn't bring it

okay but that's not a task that's a priority to me I mean I wrote it also in the calendar as a thing to do

so you can it can double up task yeah you can do whatever you want I had yeah and I got to check that one off

um no I had like start setting up utilities for my house Oh right I have to do that I Yeah.

Pushing it off as a task and it has to happen today. Kicking the can. Exactly. Um and there was one other thing that I forget. But then you have a daily intention.

Okay. Which I love. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there is a um I'm grateful for.

Uhhuh. Nice. Yeah. Okay. So that like a spiritual journal, too. It's great. It's all of it. So I do those things in the morning.

Okay. is now part of your morning routine. You get your day planner out. Is it Franklin Day planner? That was the one that was very popular when I worked for my mom and

No, that one was fancy once. Yeah. And you could even, I think, go to like a weekend seminar about your Franklin Day Planner, which I never attended, but my mom did get me the whole kit. And they had a nice little bound leather case, which is nice.

Okay, I need to find the brand. I'll find the brand. There's a really cute little store in Atwater that has all these notebooks and planners and pens and greeting cards and it's so cute. Now, I did So, I went and I I got this planner and I used it the first day and I was like, "Oh my god, my life has changed." So, I told Jess about it and so we walked there the next day and we got him one. But,

so, but you walked to Atwater from your house. Uhhuh. Oh, how long does that take? Half hour.

Yeah, about a half hour. 35. Okay. 48 minutes. Yeah. So, we walked there and then I had like a real panic because I I bought a blue one and it's beautiful. It's a beautiful light blue, but there was one more color and I was having a hard time deciding when I was in the store when I was buying it. There was one that was like a little more green and I ended up picking the blue.

Okay. But it was tough. It was tough. I was holding both and I was like, "Were you saying I prefer the blue, but I know green equals genius. I should have the green."

No, it's just they were both such beautiful colors and unique like really pretty shades of both colors.

Unlike this year's panone color that's not a colorless I mean cloud dancer. I mean who cares? It's not a color.

Okay. So then we go and you know I picked the blue. I felt good about my blue. I came home. I used it. Just love it. And then when Jess and I go, he was like, "Well, I should get the other color since you got this." And when I saw him holding it, I was like, "I want that one."

This is dangerous. If someone gets the one you were debating between, that's rife for disaster.

Really tough cuz all of a sudden it that was the one I want. I needed it. And I asked him if I could get another one. I could have two.

Okay. And he said no. Okay, good. He helped put some limits on you. He said, "No, you can't.

You can't really use two planners." Exactly. I mean, I could write in it twice.

That's crazy. Yeah, that would be it's wasteful in that could be in an admittance form for a psych wart.

Are you using multiple planners with duplicate pages? Yeah. Ramona and Ruth. Yeah.

Oh, wonderful. We found it. RNR. It's really cute. And um and and today my daily Yeah, that's it. My morning routine is the left page.

Okay. Okay. Today my intention was to accept acceptance. Oh, great. Great. Always a great intention.

Uhhuh. And so today I accept that I have the blue planner. Okay. And by the way, I already see now what happened with the water cuz there is a

Exactly. a little chart with one, two, three, four five six seven eight nine 10 glasses of water outlined and presumably you check those off as you

Exactly. So, my nighttime routine is the right side where you write down it's there's a nourishment section. So, you write down what you ate. It has like morning, lunch, and night.

Yeah. Then there's a water intake. I've added on my own an alcohol intake. Oh, all right.

I think that's good for me to be tracking. Oh, I see. Not as a reminder to drink alcohol, but as a let's make sure we're not drinking too much.

Like, how much am I consuming? That's much better. You can see where I thought I was like that's on your to-dos alcohol.

And then there's a notes section. At the bottom there's favorite part of my day today.

Yeah, this is pretty great. I got to say it's kind of a rethink of a day planner.

Yes. At the top right there's a box that says today's act of self-care. And we don't need that. People need to stop spoiling themselves.

No, self-care can be just I went to bed. We're getting weak as a nation. No. Um and then there's today's movement

and there's options. There's yoga, pilates cycle weights stretch. So, and then there's top three priorities for tomorrow, which I like. Then you're planning ahead.

Yeah. Okay. So, this is great. So, that's why we walked to Atwater cuz I was like, we got to I got to get my movement in tomorrow.

Oh, right. Okay. Um, so we did the walk. It should track other movements, too. You should have a bowel movement.

Oh, it's part of your health. I mean, more so than I would argue some of the others. That's true. Um, and there the water was interesting for me because I was like, I gotta I gotta

You want to check it off. Yeah. You're such an achiever. Like, all you need to know is how to get an A.

Exactly. It's good for me. Yes. But I drank too much and now I have a UTI. Right. Probably not.

So, there can be backfires. You ever drink cranberry juice? That's supposed to be real helpful to keep the urinary tract healthy. Still reminder for Monaco.

Oh my god. What the [ __ ] was that? You're now playing voicemails. Walgreens. I don't know how that happened. I don't like what just happened.

Your computer is way too emboldened and autonomous. I agree. It's scary. It rings and stuff. It shouldn't do anything. You should tell it like, "Hey, I have a phone for this stuff."

I know. I don't like that what just happened. Um, it actually reminds me of something.

Oh, tell me. There's like a gossipy part of this conversation which I'm not really interested in having.

Okay. Just Blake Lively. Yeah. Okay. So, you know, obviously that everyone knows what's going on with

Blake Lively and Justin Baldon and the court case and then Taylor's texts were subpoenaed.

Yeah. So, that's what I want to talk about. So, so not just hers, but like she had a text exchange with Ben and Matt. Oh,

and that's available. And I got very startled by this. I was like, "Oh my god, nothing is private." Like,

yeah, but if you're in court Yeah. Yeah. But you don't know. But Ben and Matt aren't in court and now they're drugged into court. Yeah. That does feel like they should redact, but I'm sure it's relevant.

I mean, kind of. I saw them. It was a It was about She was talking about the movie and then they said or I don't know what Ben said, but Matt and his wife are dragged into this and they're saying like if you want to next like if your soul isn't fully, you know, burned by this, come direct your next movie at

Artist Equity. Very sweet and kind, but I'm like, what? That doesn't we don't need to see that. And I got defensive on their part because they're my boyfriend's. And I got defensive on Taylor's part cuz I love her.

I want to know. I'm more curious. These were all on her phone or they subpoenaed

exactly other people's phone that they knew she had been communicating with and it was on their phone. Whose phone got subpoenaed? Call me. You're a lawyer and explain that you need to subpoena my phone. Go ahead.

Hi. Is this Dak Shepard? Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Hi, this is Monica Padman. I am a podcaster but also a lawyer.

Oh, great. Um, and your friend Dan Stinkkelestein. Uhhuh. I don't know if you've heard, but he there there's a He's in a desktop. Yeah,

he is. Yes. And we need to subpoena your phone for your interactions. Oh, we there we know you do. Um because we see his text.

I don't. Yeah, I don't have it anymore. Okay. Uh we do have a warrant to come search your home.

Yeah, come look. I don't have one. Okay. You're being really difficult. Okay. Well, sue me for difficulty. I guess

I think we might have to. Um, this reminds me, you know, I have a story like this. Some people might not like the story and I guess I guess I can live with that. Which was, you know, the story already, which was when I directed Hit and Run, I hired an animal wrangler. I didn't hire an animal wrangler. I needed a pitbull in a scene. So, you have to hire an animal wrangler. The production hired it. Uh, the guy came with a pitbull and then uh all of a sudden he was inviting people to the back of his car to look at a tiger. He had like a baby tiger in his back.

Yeah. Whatever. Again, I don't think anything of it. Animal wrangler. I'm sure this guy has a permit for this. Maybe he's going to another job with a baby tiger. I just don't even think about it. But he gets Bradley Cooper to hold this tiger in the parking lot and then he takes a picture and then he I think

allegedly I think he leaked it to the tabloid. So now all of a sudden there's a tabloid photo of of Cooper in that crazy dreadlock wig holding a [ __ ] tiger.

Oh no. Whatever movie comes out. I am then finishing that movie, editing in my house when I'm not at Parenthood. I'm also shooting like I've resumed Parenthood and so I'm I'm I'm filming full-time on that show and then on every off minute I'm editing this movie I made. So I'm on set and the phone rings and it's like, "Is this D Shepard?" And I was like, "Yeah." I don't even know why I answered, but I did. Yeah, this is uh Yeah, this is Detective Soandso with the uh ATF or agent So and So I go, "Okay, yeah, what's up?" He's like, "Uh, so I'm calling in regards to a movie you directed." Hit and run around. I'm thinking, "What on earth would the ATF be calling me about a movie I directed?"

I'm like, "Yeah, okay." Uh, and he's like, "Uh, you you hired an animal wrangler who we've been tracking who's been illegally moving exotic cats across state lines, which is illegal."

And I go, "Oh, okay." And he said, "Um, so I'd like to get together. Tell me a time you have. I'd like to get together and talk about this." And I said, "Well, that would be a waste of your time and mine." Um, I know nothing about that guy. I didn't hire the guy. I told a producer I needed a [ __ ] pitbull. And then this guy shows up.

Yeah. And he goes, "Great. So, let's just pick a time that we can get together." And I go, "No, no, I just told you every single thing I know about it, which is nothing."

He goes, "Great. Well, we're going to need to meet and talk about it." And there was this long beat. And I was like, "Do you have to meet them?"

Right. And I go, "No, I'm not going to meet you." Yeah. And like, "I refuse to waste your time and mine. I don't know anything other than I what I just told you. I didn't hire cuz I know don't know the person's name." And he was really flumxed. I can tell I could tell then people don't say no.

Exactly. No, there's a lot of this. But it was kind of a crazy I hung up and I was just I was even feeling like him. I'm like, "Oh, was I allowed to do that?"

No. No one knows what they're allowed to do and not You're allowed to say no. They can like Yeah, they could do a warrant. They could, you know, haul you in and charge you whatever.

Yeah. No one knows these things. We're not really simply didn't have the time to go meet a [ __ ] guy and talk about something I didn't know for an hour. So, I just to me it was very cut and dry like no. I refused to try to make this happen.

Like we don't know if it's illegal, but it's not like you can say no to things.

I was never found in contempt of court or anything. and my consistently disagreeable self just thought, well,

I'm going to start with saying no and then we'll find out maybe if Yeah, cuz then they'll show some legal documents saying they can't. Even some of those

are tricky. Like you don't always have to comply. You have to like know which ones are real. It's

tricks. I was also very confused why the at why exotic animal trade fell under the jurisdiction of the ATF. I mean, I guess it has to fall somewhere in the federal

system. And it certainly wouldn't make sense in the DEA. I feel like maybe FBI might have an animal. I don't know. But it was uh alcohol, tobacco, and firearms.

That is makes no s Maybe because there's so much intera interstate trafficking is what they actually patrol. Like you can have a fire I have a handgun here that's registered to me. It's very legal for me to have this here, but I can't travel across state lines with it. And then that becomes a federal crime once I do that. So maybe because it's there's so much about trafficking, they just grabbed exotic animals.

Maybe. Anywh who, sorry I hijacked your story. No, the texts. Sorry. It just made me think like, oh my god, any I got and I'm not someone at all who like cares about privacy really. I don't. But

but all of a sudden I was like h like on behalf of all these people. I was like, "Why does everyone get to read Taylor's text?" And like, you know, people are like, "Oh my god, she like texts like this. She there's a space. She does a space between." And I'm like, "Oh my god, this is so annoying for her."

Yeah. There's text that would take me out at the knees. You know, I have friends that I've been friends with for 40 years that I say mean stuff to as a joke. I mean, it

Yeah. Yeah. I know. You and I have exchanges all the time that I'm sure it would be like,

"Boy, these two are heartless." But it's like, oh, we're making fun of I don't know.

I It's just if you're going to have real Yeah. I was like, I hate I hate all this. And I was like, oh my god, I got to delete my entire phone and the cl like the cloud. It's all in the cloud and I hate like why? This is bad.

That's why I threw my phone away. Back to you being a detect. That's why I threw it away. I It's

So you don't How do you communicate with people? Letters. Okay. Yeah. And then I have some folks I work with that schedule my professional life.

And do you do you have a calendar on your phone? No. Okay. Yeah. Because I we did have to subpoena um Monica, your your coworker.

Yeah. Yeah. She uses a calendar. Yeah. Yeah. And we see that she has she has access to your calendar. So

I don't use it though. Yeah. She has access to a calendar I used to use. Okay. But it did say um you added a something to the schedule. Just let's see. It was January. No, it says it's clear that it was you.

Oh, that's not me. All right, man. I got to run. I don't even want I don't even know how you called me cuz I don't have a phone.

Sir, we're on your telephone right this second. I got my kids a landline and they love it. It's called Tin Can. You should check it out. Keep your kids busy for days,

right? and then call grandma. Oh, I want to give a testimonial to Frankenstein.

I'm seeing it this weekend. Okay. I have I have a um a testimonial and agreements as always. I always have agreements.

Okay. First of all, this movie is [ __ ] incredible. Great. And what was fun is um we started it with Molly and Eric at the birthday party and then we finished it last night. But before it started, I said um and they be less do you think I'm really annoying in us lecturing cophile. They like when I explain some show business stuff cuz that's not their world. So I just said before it started, do you guys know anything about GMO del Toro? And they're like not really and I'm like okay pan. I started naming movies. I said what he is a absolute master at is the visuals are off the charts. He's just so visually stunning.

Yes. So, that was fun. And it immediately delivered. Like frame one, it's like this backlit sunset. It's just gorgeous. Everything's so gorge. I'm like, I got to know if he paints this stuff. Like, how on earth did they get to this? It's so impressive.

Yeah. The movie's awesome, man. And it's heartbreaking. And these stories, they keep coming up. And I think they're cuz male writers, you know, these stories where someone's a beast

and they can't have love. But at any rate, the movie is phenomenal. We're both going. I didn't even know Oscar Isaac was in the movie. Really? I just knew Jacob Allorti was the monster. That's what's been getting all the attention.

Yeah, that's who I'm seeing on carpets and stuff. He's there, but Yeah. Is he? Yeah, he is.

Okay. So, he is phenomenal. He's And it is a thankless role in that he's detestable.

He is detestable. Uh he's the he's Frankenstein. Victor Frankenstein, the the the doctor who creates the monster,

right? And he is absolutely zero vanity. He gives a performance of a lifetime. He's so [ __ ] good. And Jacob Award is great. He's great. I'm delighted he was nominated for an Oscar.

Yeah. But Chris and I are both spinning out about like most of the movie is is Isaac.

And so then we're like, did he get nominated for an Academy Award? And Jacob did.

Yeah, he did. And Isaac didn't. And I was like, "Oh my god, this is the frailty of human objectivity." Because he's a detestable character.

People were put off by him. I mean, clearly he deserves I mean, it's it's outrageous when you watch it that he wouldn't have been nominated. And I think it's because you don't like him so much. People couldn't.

Do you think that because I mean, maybe I do. There's no other explanation. But like Sean Penn was nominated as he should be and he plays

I think you can in a supporting role. Oh. But as the lead of our movie, we want our hero to be someone we root for. It's so baked into what we're used to.

Yeah. That you have this weird subconscious conflict going on that he is our hero in an essence. He's who we're following the most.

Right. But I just think you you hate him. Yeah. Yeah. And so people didn't want to reward really the character and not the actor.

That be true. It's a hard year though. I will say it is a hard year for nomine the male lead nominees.

Okay. Male Oscar cuz I obviously love Shalomé and I love Leo. They both were great.

This is why nominations for movies are impossible. You can't They're all different and they're all amazing. Like how can you? Okay, so Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothy, Wagner Mora, who's been winning. He he's the one

secret agent. The Secret Agent, which is a Brazilian movie. Okay. I love that actor, but I haven't seen the movie.

Well, that movie is supposed to be amazing. The Secret Agent. I really want to watch that, too. But yeah, Wagner Mora Timmy

Michael B, and Ethan Hawk is also nominated. Okay. I didn't see Blue Moon, so I don't either. I don't know. But oh, but we love Ethan Hawk.

Yes. It's just too Look, I just I think these things are really hard. There's not all those actors are phenomenal.

Yeah. It's just, you know, the monster is so sympathetic. Your heart is just breaking for the monster the whole time.

Yeah. Wait, I didn't see Jacob Allerty on that. He's not a um supporting actor.

Oh, sorry. I just looked up the mains. Yeah. Yeah, I think he's got a supporting actor nomination.

That probably is right. Yeah, he did. He did. Yes, he did. Yeah. Um, but you know, your heart is just breaking for this monster from the second you meet him. And I do think that in facts you want to reward the monster.

Yeah. And then you want to punish uh Victor Frankenstein, maybe. Yeah. It's just a it's it's just an offthecharts performance, I guess, is the most important thing I want to say.

I'm excited to see it. He's incredible. Very excited. I love him. He's such an incredible actor. Okay. Yeah. So, okay. So, that's a grievance and a um accolor.

Yeah. And a call to action. Watch that movie. It's spectacular. I'm excited to watch it. I saw Sinners for the first time, which I'm late on. Very, very late on.

Um, and it was so good. I thought it was s so I thought they were juggling. Ryan Cougler was juggling so much. Mhm.

He's telling so many stories at once while also like telling a very important history lesson.

Yeah. And I thought it was a beautifully done. Yeah. And I love the parallel between the Irish and the black folks. It's my favorite. That whole music sequence, all the music is

I don't know how they assembled that whole thing where there's a DJ all of a sudden.

So cool. remember this was the movie I I had come back from and I told you I was like looking at the black dude next to me

and I'm like does he feel this wonderful pride and connection to that? Yeah. You could also feel like why don't I feel a connection to that?

I'm sure it's individual. Yes, I think so. I Well, that's what I was thinking is I guess what my fear would be that you somehow grew up completely outside of black culture

and then you would have some guilt. It would induce some guilt that you should be connecting in a way that you're not. I don't know. I just felt I don't know. I was just so curious

or sadness that you missed out on that. But I don't I feel that it's probably pretty rare to be a black person in this country and be totally void of a connection to it cuz it's all around like it is not like what I could do.

Yes. Yes. But ding ding ding Anderson pack, right? Like that thing we're talking about like close the door, step inside, feel the vibe. we got this stuff. Like that's also like it's just such a rich culture that a lot of people have got to experience that backyard

barbecue bliss. And then some people didn't get to experience that. They might not have gotten to experience that, but they definitely got to experience what it's like to be black in America. Yeah.

But again, that's kind of my point is like it would suck if is all you felt was the prejudice and you didn't feel this other thing which is so beautiful and and unique and lucky.

Yeah. And part of the she didn't get the tradeoff of it. That was like kind of what I was obsessing about is like it would really suck if you got only the downside

and none of this very enviable part of it all. Stay tuned for more armchair expert if you dare. It was really It was so good. I really recommend that too if people have not seen it, but I think a lot of people have seen it.

It's pretty stellar. It's really good. It got the most nominations. Did it? Mhm. Um

Anderson Anderson, you want to do some facts? Okay. Well, I just I love them. I want to I want to say how uh excited I was to have Anderson back.

Incredible. You know, the craziest thing was I um I think I told you already I had I had dinner with Malcolm

that maybe two days later and he interviewed him right after we did. Yeah. Oh, no way.

And that's cool. I said to him, "Do you think you could ever describe that guy to somebody and not use the adjective light?"

And he's like, "Absolutely not." He's like, he walks in and smiles and it's just like

I know it's so powerful. He said something really beautiful about that. Like it's sort of a way to find peace.

Yeah. And Yeah. Life is hard. Yeah. Yeah. Life is really hard. Hard much harder for some,

but hard for everyone. Yeah. Emotionally, it just is. Okay. What is happening? Play a message from CVS.

Oh no. I was looking at the things I wrote. I don't know. I'm sorry. Sorry. I don't know why I wrote this, but I do have a scratch on my boob that I don't understand where it came from.

Okay, look. You have a UTI and scratches on your boob. You've hooked up with someone and you're not telling Rob and I. I don't know any more clues that we need to

And the best part is you hooked up with a guy with long fingernails. There's a hickey on my thigh.

It's my kink. Yeah. I don't know where this hickey on my thigh and my UTI and my scratchy boobs.

Do you ever wake up and there's just weird stuff? Constantly. Monica, I tell you this all the time. like I'm constantly bleeding and I'm like what? What did I nick? I currently I did it yesterday. At least I know where that one came from. But so often I feel like my Papa Bob just like paper skin and I have like cuts and

but for me it's always in the in the night, right? You're wy at night. What's going on in the night? Nobody knows. I have epilepsy.

Seizures. You pee your bed. Those were connected. I know. Okay. I just don't want people to think that's something I do.

Not seizure induced. Exactly. Nocturnal emissions. No. If I did that, I would be wearing a dip.

A dip. Which again, we found out guys wouldn't mind at all. Yeah. So cute. Got to throw her diapee on. I don't know. She's 38. But [ __ ] it. Who cares? Guys just wouldn't care. But girls, every girl would care, right? No girl would date a guy that wears a diape.

Well, I don't want to say no. We don't know why they're true. We just did kings.

Exactly. I was about to say Easter egg. There's a armchair anonymous about kings. That's really really good.

So there's there's a pot for there's we compare the averages. Yeah. I have to imagine yep far fewer women would be willing. They would be like well this is the final step. Like you probably live on your mom's couch. You wear a diaper still. When are you going to grow up and be a man?

I know. Okay. But now that we're talking it through, I feel like a lot of women

want a guy on a date. No, they don't want but they are like they put up with a lot of [ __ ]

They do, but they find out later. I mean, they're not going to have sex with their that husband

if he's got to remove his diet. They're like, yeah, if you can feel his erection through his dive.

Someone's going to write in mad about that. Okay. You have to have a pretty Oh, that's Well, never mind.

What? The monster. The monster wears a diype, you know. He does. Yeah. Jacob Lordy. And he does. Oh, no. And is it hot?

Well, like I think Eric, it might have been me, was like, "Well, I wonder did he did he give him a penis?" Like, cuz he he builds this monster out of dead bodies from a battlefield.

So, he's picking what he's going to And then you're like, "Well, did he take the time to give him a penis?" Probably. And if you're going to select penises on a field of dead soldiers, why wouldn't you select a big old hog? And I'll tell you, it looked like he had a lot of business going on in his dipe.

You could see it. Oh, it's bulging like crazy. It's a choice. I mean, they definitely

really It's a massive package in the dip. You can't wait to see it now. In the di. That's That's tough. And he doesn't speak he's like speaks like a child monster.

I don't want to ruin his progression of language competency. Yeah, there's something a little tough about seeing a big dick in a dice.

Well, it's conflicting in a probably a great and if he's acting like a baby. There's a lot nominated.

Yeah. Yeah. Seems I'm just saying there was a ton of equipment in the dyke. He's

I could ask him about the dyke. Very attractive. Oh, it's insane. I know. And the frame is outrageous. His frame is [ __ ] crazy.

Like, duh. Everyone knows Jacob Lord's hot. Like, duh. He's kind of the first guy that my kids are a saint, you know?

Right. Oh, wow. That's fun. That's my Leonardo DiCaprio or David Borianz. Yeah. Speaking of that,

okay, in Sinners, okay, if you haven't seen it, this is kind of a spoiler, which my hunch is a big spoilers coming just from the way you just rolled that out.

There's something that happens in the movie that is revealed that is supernatural.

Mhm. And I'm like, what are the rules of this monster vampire? Oh, yeah. Well, you're learning them.

You're Yeah. Well, you know that they have to be invited in. Is that one you're talking about?

Well, yeah. I forgot about which is so cool. I know. I love being reminded of all the vamp stuff.

I know. But I think it's So, I was watching this with Jess and all of a sudden one of them flies.

Sure. And I was like, "No, I think if they're powerful enough." Jess said yes. He said Twilight Vamps flew

and I think the more powerful they get, the better they get at flight. But Angel on Buffy, David Boranz, First Love,

he did not fly that. They didn't have the budget. They would have loved to have had him fly. It wasn't digitally yet. You'd had to put him in wires and it would look crazy, but they would have loved for him to fly.

Okay. Yeah. Okay. I think they flew in an interview with a vampire. They did. I feel like Tom Cruz

took flight a few times because originally they're bats, too. Dracula. Yeah. Dwak,

would you rather be a vampire or a to wear a di. Oh my gosh. Would I rather be a vampire or a Frankenstein? Frankenstein's monster, I guess.

Definitely a vamp because they can intermix and fool people. They can have a life.

The monster cannot get a fair shake from anybody. I feel bad saying this and because it kind of seems like I didn't understand the point of the movie, which I did. I did. I did. But I was kind of like being a vamp seems kind of fine like when they're all res.

Well, they're eating people. We don't care about that. I mean, I care. I should I care. It's bad. It's bad.

Okay. It's bad. Yeah. Yeah. But I did have the thought like, which I guess is this is the temptation. This is the thing. Like, God, if we're all vamps,

well, then we would all die cuz there's nothing to eat. We can't all be vamps. It's like a pyramid scheme. Eventually the last person invests and then everyone's [ __ ]

But do they have to eat people every night? Like again like I don't care. They're const that's their struggle is constantly having to suck blood. But that's the premise of True Blood.

I never saw it. Oh, it's a great show. Shout out to Alexander Scarsgard though.

Yes. And another sexy. They know to keep these monsters sexy. They do. They're smart. You can't give us a hunchback and then also make him a monster. Also be rude.

It would be rude. Yeah. You got to be like, "Make a gorgeous guy look disgusting."

Well, it's also like that's part of the struggle. It's like Yeah. You want to be tempted. It's not fun if you're not.

You want them. I think every woman would be tempted by Alexander in True Blood.

Yeah. He's very Did he fly? I can't remember. I don't think so. That also was that CW or is that like HBO?

HBO. Okay. Alen Ball. That's a high quality show. Yeah, they could have flown if they wanted to.

Okay. Sorry. Back to Anderson Pack. I did text him and say, "The moment you're gonna be dancing at Andy's, you gotta call me."

Yeah, I know. I want to go to Andy's. Yeah, me too. Will you dance? Oh, think about it. They danced a lot in sinners and it was cool.

Yeah. I just can't dance like that. Okay. And I only like doing things I'm good at.

That's normal, I think. I think it's normal. Okay. He mentioned the Gong Show cuz his dad and brother went on the Gong show, remember? And then they were twins in acting wy.

Yeah. And I asked if they got the gong and he said no. They won. Yeah. Yeah. But it

you know that show worked is you'd be performing and if it was so bad they could get up with this mallet and hit this 6 foot in diameter gong.

Yeah. And send you packing. Yeah. It was a big show in the 70s. in this in 76 the original with Chuck Barers

who claimed to be a CIA operative who had murdered people. Yes. This came up on another

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, right? Yeah. Because Sam Rockwell played Chuck Barers in this. That's

right. Yeah. And I think Clooney directed it maybe. Yeah. Speaking of who also didn't get a nomination. See, hard year. Hard year.

Who? Clooney. What would he have been nominated for? Jay Kelly. If people want to get nominated, uh, they should come on our show.

Okay. We had someone cancel on us. Mhm. Uhoh. That I I have real I have like a real beef with. I'm not going to say who it is.

Okay. It would have been a great episode and I'm angry. Okay. G Rodriguez. Uhhuh. And um this person got snubbed and I just think that if

they wouldn't have if they came on that that was karma or and my dad. Okay. Okay.

And people need to be more scared of my dad. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Wrath of my dad. Now Gong Show. Um how long has Carrot Top been in Vegas? Since 2005.

So 21 years. Is he still active? Kerattop has been a headliner in Vegas for over 20 years. He began his residency at the Luxor Hotel in no on November 22nd, 2005 and celebrated 20 years 2025. But

yeah, I think it's still going. Yeah, it's still going. Wowers. Good for him. Good for him.

He's probably at this point sold like 11 million tickets. It says often six nights a week. His residency is extended through 2030.

Oh my gosh. Where at? The Atrium showroom at the Luxor Hotel in Still at Luxor. Yeah. Wow.

We never forgot who brought him to the dance. He's one of the longest running headlining comedians in Vegas.

That's the scene of my infamous stairwell. That's right. You Someone had a funny I posted um the stairwell at Lafayette Coney Island, which is the diceiest stairwell in America.

Did you happen to see that post of mine? I'm walking down these insanely tight stairs that are way too steep and I got a duck. It's like a submarine ship.

That's at for the restaurant. That's at Lafayette Coney Island. Yeah. That's how you get to their bathroom.

Oh. And someone wrote in the comments, "Is this the infamous stairwell with the Australian girl?" And I was like, "Oh my god, I can't even walk down these stairs, much less make love."

Yeah, but you were younger back then. That's true. I mean, I would have tried. Let's be honest. I would have had sex on a ladder if that was the only option. Sure. Bet of nails.

I I I regret That's one of my regrets from this show cuz I really I did shame her.

You did? And I I regret that. You take it back. I take it back. Okay, great. Um,

you're clear. I do think people need to be careful and that's all. Oh, you're going backwards now.

Two steps forward. I take two steps back. I just People are scary, you know. You did a good job handling how many lyrics. I I just want to say I know that was tough and I just want to applaud you. You did a good job. Uh, I appreciate that.

Yeah, I was Well, you set my expectation and helpful. That was helpful. And I was policing myself if you can believe that. I could feel it.

Yeah. Way more. Um, okay. So, yes, the Mark Ronson show about music is called Watch the Sound.

Oh, right. And it that that's okay. Great. I was right about that where it comes.

Love Mark Ronson of the Pot. Great episode. Okay. Now, remember he talked about Black Up City Stone.

Black Up City Stone. Was I misharing it? In reference to what? He had lunch with this girl and she was talking about

black obsidian. Oh my god. Okay. I I was so and I kept googling it and I was like what?

He's getting flagged and he said it he said it sounded cool and he wanted to use it in a lyric, but I thought he was saying black up city which does sound cool.

It does sound Yeah. Chocolate city. Yep. That's black obsidian. Volcanic volcanic glass. I actually have some of that.

Uh some of our most complicated um tool technology early hominids was their mastery of this volcanic glass. They started making really sharp cutting instruments.

It's beautiful. It's renowned for its protective and grounding properties and spiritual practices. Often used for healing, clearing negative energy, and reducing stress.

I can't say about all that, but you could carve a stag really well with that 200,000 years ago.

Okay. Well, I'm glad that got cleared up. And you know, that's one of those like, you know, misunderstood lyrics. Like if he wrote if he sang a song, Black into the middle of the night.

Exactly. It's wrapped up. Most misunderstood lyrics. And I hope it's a hundred. A list of 100. 40. Oh, it's from I'm going to do Buzzfeeds. Okay.

I'll tell you my Can I tell you my three that um Dean made shirts of? I know I've already told you this, but well, some are lyrics, some are words. Mine was, as you know, I thought an acorn was an egg corn until I was 27.

Yep. Yep. Aaron thought a silent but deadly fart was called a silent bed. I know. Which I

And Dean thought the Jake Giles band was called the Jake Isles band. Yeah, that one to me

is the most reasonable. Yeah, sure. Silent is my favorite. But we would always say like, did you bed? It's so much better to say Bedelli.

It is better. Yeah. Okay. Now, Waterfalls TLC. Great song. Uh they're saying people think it's Don't go Jason Waterfalls.

No, that's who thinks that some people. Okay. Okay. Oh, Drift Away by Uncle Cracker. You know that song?

You do. Miss her lyric is Give me the Beach Boys and Free My Soul. Give me the beat boys.

Yeah. I actually think that at least makes sense. Yeah. Okay. Lucille by Kenny Rogers.

Okay. Do you know that song? Well, hit me with the misunderstood lyric. When I was a kid, I heard Kenny Rogers as saying, "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille, with 400 children and a crop in the field." So, the actual lyric is, "You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille, with four hungry children." Oh, instead of 400.

Okay. 400. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. We have another Aaron and I one when you're ready.

Oh, I'm ready. Okay. Jerry Reed, who played the snowman in Smoking the Bandit, also had a great country career.

Okay. He sang um raised up a son that could eat up his weight in horser Moses. Could eat up his weight in horser. So Aaron and I are always like, "What is horserrass? Is that horse ass?" And that is how Jerry Reed pronounces groceries. He's really saying could eat up his weight in groceries, but it literally sounds like could eat up his weight in horser. Yeah.

Wow. So, of course, we also call groceries horser occasionally. Obviously, this is a huge one. Most popular. It's from friends. Hold me closer Tony Danza.

Hold me close now. Tony Dan. Yeah. And we know it's Tiny Dan. Oh, Purple Haze. Purple Haze.

Jimmy Hendris. This is a different Excuse me while I kiss this guy. People are going to say, "Excuse me while I kiss this fly."

No, this guy. Excuse me while I kiss lots of guys. This guy. That's the popular one.

I thought it was kisses fly. People thought like it was maybe as a drug reference, like blott acid in the shape of a fly.

Wow. Oh, that was funny. Okay. Um, all right. That's cool. That was fun. I'm going to listen to some Hendricks in my clubhouse. That just hit me.

And now you're excited to Yeah, cuz I'm loving listening to music in my clubhouse so much.

What's What do you mean your club? I've already told everyone about my clubhouse. Okay. I watched the Jeff Buckley documentary. It made me very nostalgic for my Jeff Buckley CD. And I was like, I have this great CD collection and I want to listen to CDs. So, I'm going to go over to my sister's house where I believe I've left my old receiver, my really good BMW speakers, and I think a CD player. Oh. I go to her house, I realize only the BMW speakers are there. So then I go, I'm going to go up to Best Buy. I went to Best Buy and it was the most exciting trip of my life cuz I as a kid say, as you know, I saved up for sometimes a couple years to get a receiver or another one was a TV. Most of my life was saving for audio video equipment.

Sure. So to go there and pick out what I wanted, I felt like I literally had hit the super lotto that day. I came home. I set up I got a powered subwoofer. I already have my BMW speakers. I got a a CD player, new receiver. And I set it up upstairs

in the attic. Yes. In the attic. Oh. And I've been up there sitting in the lazy boy at night listening to music really loud and it sounds so good.

It's got me so nostalgic for high school cuz all I did is lay on my water bed listening to music. Yeah.

I wish I wonder where all my CDs are. All my burn CDs. Where are they? Where are they now?

Great show. Um, all right. Black Obsidian. Um, that was a fact on a fact. Fact on a fact on a fact.

Love it. Um, that's it. We loved Anderson Pac. We love Anderson Pac. We loved Andy.

We love Andy. I We love Brandon Pac Anderson aka Andy aka Pac. We love him and all of his names.

What? He can call himself anything and I'm in. Exactly. That was such a joy. I love him. I love you.

Love you.
