Well, had it never know, anyway. Serialism. Bill Withers. I just People love him. I mean, I'm a big bill, and also, I can't believe I didn't know he was from West Virginia until today. I was, because this is what people don't know. I was born in West Virginia. And if you're from West Virginia, you are supposed to have encyclopedic knowledge of everyone who's ever been born and done something with themselves.



spk_1: 8:00

Virginia's one, like, I think it's one of those states where people have intense state pride. Oh, my God. They love to point out people that are famous from West Virginia s O. Now, the double whammy is because you're Lebanese. Part of the family is from West Virginia. Mm hm. I now know a lot of celebrities I know which

spk_1: 11:10

of it. Wasn't the singing. Why



spk_0: 11:14

spk_1: 11:44

That's right.



spk_0: 11:45

And accept my Except what? My apology for it. I'm not apologizing for my performance.



spk_1: 11:53

No, you shouldn't. I was I was not listening, but I overheard when singing part happened and I thought it was delightful, Honey Like, brought a smile to my face.



spk_0: 12:03

Well, let's just say like if I ever got a singing part that I'm gonna be one. I have to be one of the actors that acted more than concealing it, where you can sing or like um, What's his name? Chim Chim. Marie Chim Chimney. Me Dick friend? Yes. Or was he a singer? I thought he was sort of like an actor, huh? He didn't did some singing, but he sold it with his wonderful Krizman acting. I think he



spk_1: 12:31

carried a tune, but I don't think he's a singer singer. OK, but look, he's definitely a triple threat.



spk_0: 12:38

He's still alive, right?



spk_1: 12:39

He can. Yet he still he still alive?



spk_0: 12:41

He's I've only heard nice things about him. I'm reading a Julie Andrews memoir right now, and apparently he's



spk_1: 12:48

lovely. That's very nice to hear.



spk_0: 12:50

Although she doesn't say a negative thing about she does not. It's just not a juice doesn't know like there's no juicy.



spk_1: 12:56

So whoever is not in the book must be a prick.



spk_0: 13:00

Well, like she'll say things like, Oh, Christopher Plummer, you know, has a very serious demeanor. He had a serious demeanor, something like that, And you're like, Oh, okay, like he was maybe a day. It was like a freak, you know? And I'm like, Oh, she's like one of the issues, like like an eternally, you know, diplomatic kind of, which is a good way to be. You have to be that way. And Holly, but I want, like, dirt. You know what I'm saying?



spk_1: 13:34

When you read a book like that. Yeah.



spk_0: 13:35

Yeah. Like I want some



spk_1: 13:36

jewelry. That Franklin Gela Bill?



spk_0: 13:39

No, but I think I want to, cause I heard it was like, Pretty. Did you read it?



spk_1: 13:43

No, I just don't like the idea of it.



spk_0: 13:45

Oh, that he liked dishes.



spk_1: 13:47

He dishes on people who were exclusively on people who are dead.



spk_0: 13:52

I'm finally every



spk_1: 13:54

business school. Is this book where he writes I From what I understand, I could be wrong. He tells stories about famous people that he's worked with all the people that he talks about our dead. And then he talked negatively about all



spk_0: 14:08

That's what I'm gonna do about my family when they die when they die. Is it me, My mom memoir?



spk_1: 14:16

You gonna wait? You're gonna wait till everyone else is gone?



spk_0: 14:20

I was, except I already have a title for my memoir. And it won't apply Doing a little weight. Maybe I I came up with it a week ago.



spk_1: 14:30

Have you told me this right now? This does not sound from



spk_0: 14:33

I don't think I told you. Do you want to know?



spk_1: 14:36

I didn't think we were keeping things from each other, but



spk_0: 14:40

all right, it's the title of my memoir is I went through Perry during the Trump years. What, What? Oh, that. I think it'll sell a lot of copies. Cynthia told me. It would argue. She's yes, she's a vessel. It might have a friend who's a best selling novelist, and I told her the title and she said, Instant best seller. She was like Instant bestseller,



spk_1: 15:14

our friend Cynthia to Pre Sweeney, who wrote a book called The Nest. A Great Novel,



spk_0: 15:18

has a new incoming out scene. Um, it's great. You should check it out.



spk_1: 15:24

Now I feel like that. You also need have a subtitle. Here's a friend of a friend.



spk_0: 15:29

I got it. Yeah, I went through Perry during the Trump years, and I didn't murder anybody. Here's no no, And all I got was this lousy memoir like that subtitle. That's just you're just continuing the freeze, I would think very during the jump years and lived. No, it's not an



spk_1: 15:52

end situation here, let me tell you



spk_0: 15:55

a Bible on what do you want me? Oh, fine. Tell me, uh,



spk_1: 16:01

so someone that we know that wrote a book, Okay, That has an incredibly long subtitle. Told me That's what you have to do now, if you're not, If you're not an established author who's writing a novel or a serious memoir if it's like like a humorous book, which I don't know, I don't know which way you're gonna go with this.



spk_0: 16:25

Humorous. Yeah, obviously you



spk_1: 16:28

have your title. Okay, then you have a crazily long subtitle. It's a different phrase that supposedly that's That's the ideas that is describing the book



spk_0: 16:41

like a perilously long, slightly amusing manual for how to get through



spk_1: 16:48

exactly Right crisis. You can have the word guide in there than your gold.



spk_0: 16:54

Really? Yeah. Okay, publishers, if your a listening, that's my pitch. I got nothing. I have no pages yet, but this is where I'm going with it.



spk_1: 17:08

Okay, So title I went, I went. I went through Bari during the Trump years. What's the subtitle?



spk_0: 17:18

A slightly humorous, overly long guide on how not to commit homicide during the worst time of your life. I would say something or something like that. Something like that. I don't You come out. I don't know if



spk_1: 17:39

I put overly long in the subtitle.



spk_0: 17:42

Overly. Ah, wordy, I don't think that I'm a worthy writer. Yeah, but I, uh okay, I don't think anyone



spk_1: 17:54

what's what's to pick it up If it's got overly as a descriptor in anything,



spk_0: 18:00

a not pithy guy. What do you know? Why? What? You focused



spk_1: 18:09

on the length of



spk_0: 18:11

a flower? The writer and I feel like that needs to be conveyed.



spk_1: 18:17

I won't if they're buying a physical book. The beauty from the size of it.



spk_0: 18:21

Nobody vice physical books anymore. I haven't owned a physical book since 2000 and like 2006



spk_1: 18:29

they're still out there, babe. What about Hudson News?



spk_0: 18:32

Oh, that's where I go to look for titles. I want to download from the Libya up on them again. I mean, purchased. I buy, but I'm about I'm gonna buy something soon.



spk_1: 18:43

Wait, what happens? This? Is there some free books up?



spk_0: 18:46

Yes. Called the library. Heard of it.



spk_1: 18:48

Oh, I I've I've heard of the library. I don't know why you're being this way with me.



spk_0: 18:52

The APP is called Libby because I'm half. I'm happen in my evening water, which people really liked, Which is funny, because what we really call it is weekend water



spk_1: 19:05

that was coined by Janey's mom.



spk_0: 19:07

Yeah, she's like, Hey, my weekend. But we were doing it on



spk_1: 19:10

her grandson's was going to drink from a glass that she had like that Grandma, that's that's Grandma's weekend water.



spk_0: 19:18

But we were filming recording on a Thursday, so I had to call it evening water. And frankly, in the time of cholera drinks in the time of cholera, evening waters. More



spk_1: 19:31

appropriately, it sounds elegant to me.



spk_0: 19:34

Well, okay, So where is going with this is I have a library card. So, uh, that's just who I am, and I have so you can get the books on Libya. What I was gonna tell you is that the l A county. I don't know if you have your library card up today.



spk_1: 19:56

Do you know what it's not? And I should get it up because



spk_0: 19:58

guess what? You could do it digitally. Now they send a newsletter that said they have now opened library card applications to digital and that you can have full access to their digital That's the L A County library. I don't know if other libraries air doing that in other cities, but it would be worth checking out if people are stuck at home and they don't have a library card. It's a great way to get books on your Kindle. Or just you can also rent movies on Canopy Way. Had a nice listener tell me also because I didn't have hoopla and that's where you couldn't find the miniseries is okay,



spk_1: 20:31

But is that a nap?



spk_0: 20:32

Yes, it's the more like TV. Uh, library collection. Yeah.



spk_1: 20:38

We're gonna get knee deep in that Who?



spk_0: 20:39

I want to get so



spk_1: 20:40

deep. Um, library was my Are you doing it? Because I don't have headphones?



spk_0: 20:49

Ah, yes, sir. I'm the But I'm the sound engineer. I'm the producer. I'm the publicist on the sand. Although you're pretty good at the social media.



spk_1: 20:58

Thank you for that. I think so. The library



spk_0: 21:06

you left just like this new this dynamic. All right. Tell me about the library.



spk_1: 21:12

The library was my friend when I first moved to Los Angeles. So where because I had I was flat broke. I had no TV, no radio nothing. Yeah, And so I would walk to the library in Hollywood and check out a bunch of books



spk_0: 21:27

which branch? The one on the one near Liberia. The where that rock and roll like across. No cause That's a newer



spk_1: 21:33

one. No, is not that one. It waas the one. Is it on Wilcox? Arrive are there's a branch around they're used to go to.



spk_0: 21:44

Well, another libraries are closed. So many homeless people are having cause that they would go and, like, be able to wash your hands. So if you're able to donate out there Yeah, please don't forget our homeless people because it's been I heard, like a whole podcast about it. I like Dr Sanjay Gupta has a daily podcast, and he's really, like, covering all the bases. He's a really good guys.



spk_1: 22:09

He told Chris Cuomo that he should stop working.



spk_0: 22:12

Well, you know what? He's a doctor, and you know what I know also, like if you have, If you're sick with Corona virus, Yeah, take a few days.



spk_1: 22:23

Ways. Chris Cuomo of Corona. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that.



spk_0: 22:26

Oh, he chipped a tooth. You didn't know he chipped a tooth. He was shivering so hard in his fever's at night that he chipped a tooth. Oh, I did. You tested positive for covet. I heard



spk_1: 22:37

the story, and I think I



spk_0: 22:39

just thought he just tripped it to the eating like a piece of popcorn or something. It was coveted.



spk_1: 22:47

No, I heard the story, but I think I I think I pushed out of my mind the detail that it was Chris Cuomo. I think the idea that the the idea of someone shivering so hard that they chip horrifying was so dramatic it pushed. All the other details



spk_0: 23:04

are terrible. It's awful. But that was Wait, So you just thought Dr Gupta doing to quit working just for fun?



spk_1: 23:15

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought



spk_0: 23:17

you did. I



spk_1: 23:18

thought it was just for fun.



spk_0: 23:20

What was so in your mind when you were remembering that? What was the context of him telling him to quit working?



spk_1: 23:26

I didn't know that there's a pandemic going off.



spk_0: 23:30

Yes, but he's an essential worker. Journalists are essential, are considered essential workers.



spk_1: 23:35

Guess that's true.



spk_0: 23:37

It's still really true. I guess I didn't think



spk_1: 23:39

about it that much.



spk_0: 23:40

Another CNN and there's another scene in an anchor who tested positive for covet um, Brooke Baldwin?



spk_1: 23:47

I don't know, Brooke. Well,



spk_0: 23:48

I don't think I know her either. I'm not a big CNN person. Even though I'm singing Doctor Gupta's praises. Um, he's



spk_1: 23:56

your CNN whole pounds.



spk_0: 24:01

Who's your CNN all bus?



spk_1: 24:03

Try the CNN hall pass. There's some lady that I see sometimes. Like when I would go to the gym during a certain hour. And they're over this lady who had blond hair and like, a tan, like a light tan to the point where she looked like a perfect piece of toast.



spk_0: 24:24

I think that's our that got tested? I think so.



spk_1: 24:28

Let me look around.



spk_0: 24:30

I don't know. Computer. Does Brooke Baldwin look like a piece of toast? Oh,



spk_1: 24:38

okay. Why? Computer? Shut up. Can I tell the story? I tweeted about this.



spk_0: 24:48

You did,



spk_1: 24:48

but when it happened, yeah, I think it is Brooke Baldwin. She's



spk_0: 24:52

Oh, she's okay.



spk_1: 24:54

She's okay to perfect the perfect piece of toast when we, um when we first got this dumb device that listens to us,



spk_0: 25:04

which, by the way, we did not purchase. I don't even know where it came from. In our lives.



spk_1: 25:08

It was a gift from some show that I worked on. What? I don't



spk_0: 25:12

remember, because I ended up. We ended up



spk_1: 25:15

getting a couple of them from different shows. It was like the hot gift



spk_0: 25:19

that year,



spk_1: 25:20

that year. And so we kept the one and it listens. Everything we say. And, uh,



spk_0: 25:25

yeah, a couple of things that might land me in jail.



spk_1: 25:28

There was what



spk_0: 25:31

I'm not getting Some people have gone to jail for. Think the thing that I



spk_1: 25:37

have said I understand. I don't know if that's admissible in court.



spk_0: 25:40

All right, finish your story.



spk_1: 25:43

So I like how you get mad at me. Finish your story is if you're not the one that's stopping me.



spk_0: 25:48

It was an aside. It wasn't a derail. There's a death. Fair enough. OK,



spk_1: 25:55

look what's going on. Right.



spk_0: 25:57

Here's mud in your eye.



spk_1: 25:58

Okay, now I know. But when we first got this thing, huh? And we were figuring out all the all the the different, you know, features, commands, everything. Yeah. You gave it a command to play some song or something. Okay? And I immediately yelled, Alexa, belay that order and it stopped and I was so excited because it's like a thing that happens on Star Trek. The next generation a lot. Uh



spk_0: 26:32

oh, my God. What does that mean, Bill lay?



spk_1: 26:36

It means stop. It means don't do that. Disregard that order.



spk_0: 26:42

Okay, but ours isn't named Alexis anymore. Paul won't allow it.



spk_1: 26:47

No, I didn't like calling an Alexa. And then it was not from a call it computer, which I like, Although sometimes when people say the word computer on TV



spk_0: 26:55

Oh, she didn't wake up.



spk_1: 26:57

Um, it will cause it to ah, to wake up.



spk_0: 27:00

But then there is that commercial where they would say Alexa on TV and it would wake up that too. Yeah, You know what? You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't. That's so many. That applies to so many situation.



spk_1: 27:14

I would listen to podcasts. Yeah, without headphones. OK, And if somebody on the podcast was asking Alexa a question, it would then ask it in our annoying it was kind of funny the first few times it happened because he would be the eggs. It would it would be happening the exact same way in the exact same answer but then after a while, wasn't that's like, But I also don't like to identity. Like, address it as a as a as a person. As if it says I am in. Yeah, yeah, as a living thing. It's a computer.



spk_0: 27:50

Um, now she's awake. Us here, she just go to sleep. I, um I don't think she helps much. I mean, I asked her lots of stuff. You do talk



spk_1: 28:06

to it a lot. I'm sure her,



spk_0: 28:08

uh well, she's got a lady's voice like a feminine voice.



spk_1: 28:13

It's it's true. But if I stole something from someone's home, you wouldn't say that it was mine. You would just say that I have it.



spk_0: 28:20

Oh, okay, fine. I don't understand what just happened. I'm just pretending to understand



spk_1: 28:27

these things take over.



spk_0: 28:29

They're gonna take over.



spk_1: 28:32

Let's not get ahead of schedule.



spk_0: 28:34

I think I'm gonna be spared because I've been nice.



spk_1: 28:38

You've been to nice to it. You're making a worse for me.



spk_0: 28:41

How? I don't get it. You're You're playing like



spk_1: 28:45

a good cop bad cop.



spk_0: 28:46

What? I'm just being myself. But you know how I am. I know



spk_1: 28:51

that. So you see what you're



spk_0: 28:52

doing. Wait Everyone does think I'm a nice one.



spk_1: 28:56

Yeah, if they only knew.



spk_0: 28:57

But really balls nicer than I am. To be honest, No, I think it's true.



spk_1: 29:03

Know what's true?



spk_0: 29:04

And our private conversations are private conversations. I'm like a hard ass about people. And Paul will be like, Oh, no. People contain multitudes and boat like all this stuff. And I'm like, You just don't act like that. I mean, right.



spk_1: 29:24

I think it depends on the situation. There's certain people I'm absolutely on board with.



spk_0: 29:29

Oh, that's true, I guess. Now I'm thinking about some people that you just you're not into.



spk_1: 29:34

You know what it is? We discuss people's motivations, and that's where we differ. Sometimes



spk_0: 29:39

I'm an actor.



spk_1: 29:40

Why did this person scores? We're constantly talking about



spk_0: 29:44

What's your motivation, darling? Um, I I'm fascinated by people's motivations. Like fascinating. It's like, sometimes like, it Will lake keep me up where I'm like, Maybe it was because of this. Or maybe it was because, like, I have to study every angle of what a motivation could be And like, sometimes it's just that people just can't fucking help themselves. Yeah, because they clean up in trauma and I have trouble accepting that because like, it's it's just it's just hard to I just want Owen peel. I just want a new unpeeled I don't know,



spk_1: 30:18

but you can't you, but that it is unfeeling. And you can't be at empathy immediately all the time. You know, sometimes you have to go through. Yeah, the feeling of I hate that this person said this to me or did this to me what



spk_0: 30:34

they wanted. This is what they're trying to cheat you for. This is what they, you know, did it off and then use it, like, three days later. I'm like, I just think that person can't help it because they fucking had an abusive this or that or whatever. Or they refuse to go to therapy like several people. Ah, but he might know who I'm talking about. I'm sorry. Go to therapy on your own time. Don't listen to me. We'll definitely go to therapy, though at some point thirty's Great. There is great if you have a good therapist.



spk_1: 31:10

Yeah, I'm in. I'm in a place now where I started and been a while since I had a great therapist that I saw for many years, Dr. Melfi, from this apparent that we were deferred her is Dr Bell from this from this reading spread Does Dr Melfi from The Sopranos, played by Lorraine Brocco. Oh, I can



spk_0: 31:35

hear that dishes are going doing the monster sounds eyes that a smart, uh,



spk_1: 31:42

problem for somebody. Do you like the grudge?



spk_0: 31:47

All right, to talk about Dr Melfi.



spk_1: 31:48

Um, and she was terrific and really helped me a lot. And then, Ah, I stopped going after, you know, many years and then lately I was feeling like I want to get back into that. I think it would really be helpful in a different place in my life. And, you know, that would be good. And so I'm sort of auditioning therapists right now.



spk_0: 32:09

You like the latest person?



spk_1: 32:11

E. I don't think so.



spk_0: 32:12

I think you need to give him another try.



spk_1: 32:14

Well, I think it's gotta be once the quarantines over, uh, yeah, doing the phone doing like, zoom or facetime sessions with somebody you've just met. It was really difficult. Like when my old therapist we when we were in New York for a year, I still do weekly therapy over the phone.



spk_0: 32:35

So you're in therapy when we were in New York for you. What? Oh, that. Well, this bit. How is that hard to live with in New York the year we went to New York, that was his double because the financials crash.



spk_1: 32:53

No. What? You took a personal and you made it.



spk_0: 32:58

I mean, look, but anyway, you're not going to go therapy. Shopping, therapist



spk_1: 33:04

shop. It's not a great time ago. Therapy, shopping.



spk_0: 33:07

Maybe it is. Maybe. Here's the thing. If you were to have a first session in a tele session and it was super good, then you would know absolute. Like that person in I r l. Yeah, but what if I was a positive? A nightmare scenario. Oh, please. But Omi, What for? Never, ever going to get to be interacting with people ever again. That



spk_1: 33:35

seems not just a nightmare scenario, which it absolutely.



spk_0: 33:38

I feel like we're in a ray brat. I've said many times I feel like I'm living in a Ray Bradbury short story. You know, the little girl that, like the sun, comes out every 10 years. You know



spk_1: 33:47

that? Sorry. Sorry. Remember the Twilight Zone? That's like that. Did Ray Bradbury write it? I don't think so.



spk_0: 33:55

No. But what happened? Because maybe I'm completing



spk_1: 33:58

in this story. It's really hot all the time. Because the Earth is moving closer to the sun. I can relate. And then And of course, everyone miserable.



spk_0: 34:09

Mmm mmm mmm, mmm Mmm.



spk_1: 34:10

And then at the end, I'm sorry to spoil it for you. This was all the dream of someone who's in a fever was having a fever because the earth is moving away from the sun. So it's super cold.



spk_0: 34:27

Stop. Wasn't Chris Cuomo? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. You're saying the earth was moving away from the sun and it was cold? Yes, but he was sick.



spk_1: 34:45

She sexy. She women can have fever to



spk_0: 34:49

see. She was sick with a fever.



spk_1: 34:52

Yes, she was sick. And she was a favorites of the heat from the fever entered her dream. And so it's



spk_0: 34:58

a nightmare dream and then woke up to a different version of the nightmare. Don't think



spk_1: 35:04

we saw her wake up. I think we saw people waiting on her taking care of her. I can't like it's too bad we're moving so much further away from the sun. And it's in fact, very cold in classic twilight Zone fashion, huh? I wish I had a fever because then I'd be warm. And I'm not because the earth has become gold.



spk_0: 35:33

That sounds like you're narrating a Christmas special. Thank you. You know the three bribery. Sure, it's very



spk_1: 35:40

special. And Santa was in his workshop,



spk_0: 35:47

only God, Anyone casting a Christmas special. Paul is here, and he's ready to go.



spk_1: 35:55

If you're casting and Christmas special, I'm here, I'm ready to go.



spk_0: 35:59

So the Ray Bradbury's store story is such apparently, in the I had a message set. I'm gonna just gonna mess around your girlfriend. But like so the idea is the sun on Lee comes out like every 10 years. Dang, because they're like living on this other planet or living on this other alternate reality or whatever has happened that it's just like night for 10 years. But every 10 years the sun comes out and that's like an awesome day. True, that day, girl, this wasn't also today I



spk_1: 36:48

very regret there is ready to repel a 1,000,000 years. You along the pills, back pills, back pain pills. But we said that



spk_0: 36:56

it's like the energy fuckin secretary.



spk_1: 36:58

Let's talk about that. That's a bummer. But we we quoted that he was all high office ass at some speed



spk_0: 37:06

she wears. Where's Sue



spk_1: 37:08

Ellen Longmire? Where is the



spk_0: 37:10

girl? This was an awesome day. Yeah, you know what? I liked him in that moment. High



spk_1: 37:17

as a fucking kite.



spk_0: 37:19

Yeah. All right. So, anyway, every 10 years and come out and that would be like the day you might want to plan to go the beach or whatever on this girl in, like the fifth grade was being bullied.



spk_1: 37:34

Oh, I hate to see it.



spk_0: 37:36

And they locked her in the king coat closet



spk_1: 37:41

for the Sunday



spk_0: 37:43

and they, like, forgot about her. And then they all went out and enjoy their son. And then they came back in,



spk_1: 37:51

and there she waas locked in the god damn coat closet. Is she dead?



spk_0: 37:57

No, she was alive, but she had to wait it 20 years to see. Look, I'm messing this



spk_1: 38:02

whose Whose point of view is the story told from? Do you remember? You know, from the little girl's point of view or from the people



spk_0: 38:09

want to say is like the teacher or something. But that could be wrong. I feel like I'm wrong because listen, I think I'm wrong. Now. I feel like I've invented a rape. Like, I don't think this is really pretty good. I think it made it sell Israel. I think I made the whole thing up. Anyway, I feel like I'm living in that fake story I invented.



spk_1: 38:28

Listen, honey, if you did, we have



spk_0: 38:30

Maybe I should write it.



spk_1: 38:31

The males podcast ourselves so no one can take it. And then you should write it up.



spk_0: 38:35

Someone's going to steal. I went through Perry during the trump years. I'd be less work, but he was gonna have Ah, the last laugh on that I went through buried her in the trump here. I mean, is that the subtitle? Girl? This is an awesome day.



spk_1: 38:57

Say, why not? Let's see one with you, Perry during the Trump Years Colon thing.



spk_0: 39:02

This is an awesome day and other stories. You did it. Really? Okay. HarperCollins hatchet. Uh, penguin. Simon Schuster. Who does memoirs? Who does humorous memoirs? I don't know. Because I got



spk_1: 39:22

Uncle John's bathroom reader. You have an imprint.



spk_0: 39:26

I'm sorry.



spk_1: 39:29

You have some stories.



spk_0: 39:31

Well, this has been a fun time. That husband. Why did you make that face of B? I'm trying to signal



spk_1: 39:43

that would seem to wrap it up.



spk_0: 39:45

It was if I just did this with my finger, would that have been?



spk_1: 39:48

I could tell you everything when you looked at the timer on the time code on the recording and then looked at me and said, Well, this has been a fun time. I



spk_0: 39:58

like vital a jerk. You'll,



spk_1: 40:00

Poirot. I pieced it all together.



spk_0: 40:04

Tweet. Can I just say something? Can I say something? What? That we've been out places. Oh, my God. The damn Kuku! Oh, my God. I need another drink. My blood. You need another drink? I went there buried? Yes. They have



spk_1: 40:24

a dishwasher in a cuckoo clock. Fuck you.



spk_0: 40:28

I was he paid during the Trump years Coin. And I need another drink. That's



spk_1: 40:33

actually that's pretty close to being in the ballpark.



spk_0: 40:40

Am I like the Irma Bombeck of the 21st century, The child free by choice Irma Bombeck.



spk_1: 40:49

I mean, that's a niche that needed to be filled.



spk_0: 40:51

I got to start writing.



spk_1: 40:52

There might be a



spk_0: 40:53

pleasant reading. A



spk_1: 40:53

bunch of people writing books like that. I'm not sure we'll check it out, but you do have to start writing,



spk_0: 40:57

okay? When we But this is my point. We're gonna wrap up Fine. But my point is this Sometimes you're out in social situations. If you can think that far back. And I have definitely wanted to go home. And I've, like, done the look or the gesture and like, you just do not get what I'm you don't pick up what I'm laying down. You don't pick up what I'm laying down.



spk_1: 41:27

Can I tell you something?



spk_0: 41:29

We have discusses before, by the



spk_1: 41:30

way, have discussed this before What



spk_0: 41:32

our secret code word is?



spk_1: 41:33

Yes. And then we never came up with one. We never I can't believe we've been together. We're gonna be married your



spk_0: 41:40

little better. We're picking up on the cues.



spk_1: 41:43

But a lot of times when you're giving me that look or whatever,



spk_0: 41:45

you think I'm like having a G I issue that's not even



spk_1: 41:51

close to what I was going to say,



spk_0: 41:55

because I think I actually do think it might be the same look is when I'm actually having thio. Usually



spk_1: 42:02

better about just telling me you have a problem.



spk_0: 42:05

Like I just like I'm fading.



spk_1: 42:07

What happens a lot of times your give me a look, and it seems like I'm not responding to it. And we've discussed This is well, yeah, side. I'm in a situation with this other person, huh? And I am waiting for this fucking person to shut up or take a breath so I can say, Hey, we gotta go,



spk_0: 42:27

right? You know what? We don't You know what? We need a nap. We need a nap that if we just, like, say, a certain codeword than the app creates a phone ring and then I'm like, Oh, my God. Then I answer it and I'm vague and like, we need to leave like that.



spk_1: 42:49

This is too much.



spk_0: 42:50

There's, like, a little bit of like we need to go.



spk_1: 42:51

This is too much.



spk_0: 42:52

I think that's kind of like leaving with an air of mystery



spk_1: 42:56

hole, but no, they got a phone call and they ran out of here.



spk_0: 43:05

That's so you know what? And then they'd have a great night. They would get the top for, like, two hours about it and be like, You're right, That's not cool, because I hate when people do that kind of shape courts talk about for two hours. Also, all I ever want to do is leave social situations.



spk_1: 43:29

I know



spk_0: 43:29

this is my time, this physical distancing,



spk_1: 43:33

you know what it really is?



spk_0: 43:36

I'm not saying I like the the mandate a side of it, the sort of like and the, you know, possible illness leading to death or killing killing people. The other side's those sides pretty much suck like, really, really said. Not the best. Now, however, not having to get out of a social situation taking care of there's always If you look hard enough, there's always a silver lining.



spk_1: 44:11

This is what Mister Rogers tried to tell us



spk_0: 44:13

really every time. Because I think some people are in situations where there's no



spk_1: 44:17

fucking silver lining. Well, I had more to say. Okay, look for the helpers. Some times of distress. Look for the helpers.



spk_0: 44:25

That feet. Yes,



spk_1: 44:26

and one of the helpers is this mandate that we stay inside.



spk_0: 44:29
