397. Speculative Non-Fiction

You got anything that could stab me? Yeah. I uh I'm more impressed. This is apparently the universal among uh the romance novel community signal to one another for smut and like smut enthusiast and Must-Cee TV is very famously the brand name of the Thursday night lineup on NBC. Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan. And Colin's like, what what do you w and so she just goes out there and she does total like up n uh you know Apollo like black lady comedy. Oh my God. But basically just saying, um, hey, by the way, almost like a memo had been released. Yeah. uh so pressetta or garlic or um or menthol cigarettes. What? Terrific.

If you didn't watch the video. So what do you want your radio name to be? It's definitely pre-Soid. Did you ever go to Arby's when you were a kid? And it's purple and it looks really cool. Alex. I think so. Please I just I'm like, wait, wait. Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmes Of Parmer Shawn. Yeah, stuck in underwear to put uh a penis that like tucks it away so that you don't see any dick in balls if a lady doesn't want them to be seen. There's all kinds of things you can do with clothing, you know, to make it make you look the way you want. I love her. laundry. My heavy.

You know I'm interested in the five. The whole thing that was the crazy part was you're watching, you're like, these people have self-awareness. The Severance one is incredible. He's fucking weird. He goes, yeah, I I don't call her that I just call her my wife. This week's challenge, try astral projection. Uh um I mean I'm trying to play in the space and not be like no no the guards just bring it in and then they gave the drugs to inmates in the face. Spoilers for the first 30 seconds of adolescence. It's um it's um it's not a bit. That's true. watching Severance with Matchie and we just haven't had time to watch like the final three episodes. Well I is it Heli R or is it Heli R I don't I don't know.

There's there's a lot of them. John Mark, or like one of those generic like middle names. The 30s archetypes are very much alive and well in um w I don't want to call it women's uh fantasy romance. Yeah, that kind of thing. Well it doesn't matter if you care. I was about to say hedonic. I believe it is the dude who created Arby's bizarre. Well either way, it's a stretch. Yes. broken I am my kid would like you know the little toys and it's a banger the fucking banger it's from that stupid looking Minecraft movie but it's a Minecraft grimace You know what's amazing is I don't gaslight you is the funny part. Um, what were we talking about? No, I would they yes, but it wasn't out of anger. And a Minotaur and a uh As far as I okay.

I'm not going to answer that. Um yeah, I said I'm gonna support you and egg you on this week is what I wrote down. I've got updates on the Sunshine project and uh the disconcerting news that the notebook I swear by, at least as of right now on Amazon, it says it delivers in one to two months. That's not it wasn't a project. Um it's gonna be good for your new show, Decoder Bling. this week's episode of that sh fucking show. uh with Willa Paskin. That's every time she said the word parmesan in order, and all I did was cut out everything that wasn't the word parmesan, and that's where you get forty-six seconds or whatever that was. Tulsi Gabbard did not like get struck by lightning or something and now she's got a shock of white hair.

Oh no, she's the worst. You don't get a you don't get a distinctive streak in your hair. Simone and Lucas eat Eritan Eritrean Eritan Eritan takeout. The one who's going out with train spotting? of a flaming space needle as they agree to break up if one of them ever gets a normal haircut. You reshave the side of your head and that makes your hair. And uh now it's gone. And then like you just watch this dumb thing and you're like, oh, I have this dumb thing on. you know, flip my boat or whatever. Uh so I did you do something. But they're cool. quote unquote works or not depends a lot on how speculative your your nonfiction is. I d I attempted. How can I come at this as a spectic? No, it's not. to trying astral projection.

where it gets good, but one prepare your body. You might start to feel vibrations buzzing or hear strange sound sounds. I think, I mean, I don't know if that's the the exact business problem, but the business problem as I understood it was we got way more ladies than dudes here. It's it is similar in a lot of ways to the apple cider vinegar in the sense of like this is kind of a health thing, it's kind of a spiritual thing, but it's also kind of a a pretty girl thing. Or Doc Antel, or obviously like, you know, the the the woman who lost an arm, or m you know, the trans man who lost an arm. I love. to Disney for something like five billion dollars, but the character is acting like it was stolen from him and he's really mad.

Griffin then produces like five copies of the book and they do like a staged reading of sections from this book about money for children by George Lucas's wife. And like it's it's one of the most pure acts of creativity. bit. It's so astonishing to watch. the uh Barton uh Narnar Shreddown, which was shreddown. And sometimes like their whole thing was like a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little Yes, that is. I didn't want to make butt jokes. TV's good right now. with Michael Fossbender and Kate Blanchette and some other really good people.

He's really cool. Because cause I this is I've chosen to make this my my cross to bear. Information is so weirdly distributed amongst people and people came in on the movie of life at different times. Which is why I called it a thing it took me too long to realize. It's a um you know, it's a um it's a is that an acronym? Yes. It fits better and it sounds better than Zimmerman. N but isn't also the guy uh I was like, okay, it's either the backronym of roast beef or it was like, oh they realize Mr. He was he's an elected he's an elected official of McDonald Land. Like in Veeep, the fact that Roger Furlong keeps referring to that woman who always wears purple at the recount place as Grimace and always makes her cry.

Ronald McDonald is not anywhere in like our cultural lexicon, but grimace is. I know and the bit is still don't Are you watching Severance? Ooh, yeah. A book or some other type of cozy thing that you would hold when reading. Oh, that's much more detailed than I expected. But I I don't know what that means with a ghostie. Look at me looking at a naughty book. Anyways, that's all the stuff I've got. No, it's not because that has to do with anything. Absolutely. That's the thing. You're not respecting my embargo. has gone viral and what that has to do with my Japanese know. That possibly this notebook is so good that it is just a real backed up. as a Gen X correspondent, not because I have anything to say that's useful, but just because I can help you not sound like a fucking dumbass.

like to make things about generations and and make broad swath comments about broad swaths of people based on what you're it's like it's it's like astrology, you know, for people in their thirties. Find out. I'm not sure. Some people I've seen I've seen photos of people who can do that. You've been incepted. Yes. on TV because I got a big fucking problem with all the people getting the highlights. Yes, Tulsi Capard's I I'm just, I don't know. Uh pretty up to date. Um, these two both have, okay, this kid who I think is, you know the pretty actress I like? The head SS guy. Yes, please. What the fuck? Don't know what that means. Oh, but like, oh, it's just a lark. I would love the benefits of a jailbroken Kindle.

Um because while many of them are assholes, uh the people who aren't vocal online but are really into what Thank you, Timothy O'Leary. But it is nonfiction. Uh I tried to ask for project. But he did one with Conan one time, like a recreation of one of these, where he like he runs up to somebody and basically say, name 20 famous women. It's it's eraser. it told me all of the things that i I wanted to hear about. What should I do? knows uh the cost of everything and the value of nothing. No, the the experience was just me trying to th uh me So you laid you you did this you tried this for a while, according to the Turner Diaries, and then you stayed in your body as far as you know. And so this is I probably focused too much on this and crush the bunny.

didn't succeed with leaving my body, but I think those would have been helpful to me if I stuck with it. But uh um obviously the biggest part of meditation, as I'll say again, is that meditate being bad at meditation is what meditation is. relaxation technique, which is part of meditation, but not all of it, which is to pay attention to your breath and to get something you can focus on physically. That's fine. I'm liking it. that but in the dumbest fucking way gender proble sorry yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah um I was reading that last night um but the um That conforms with the new gender wiki. documentary. What's that one called? Uh the Netflix ones are often made with a lot less nuance and uh What about the vegan woman?

I I just don't like the the two pals actually in the mother god like they're still out there making like Facebook. You have like three more of the most fascinating characters I've ever seen in my life. Oh now you gotta keep now you gotta keep that in. show. Do you know about the George Lucas Talk Show? Stuff that starts out as just like a little stupid thing turns into all I mean, that's what improv is. seeing people who were a regular troupe not because they were, you know, flexing and they were But it doesn't have to be a herald. without having to call out what the premise of the show is. Um but my my what attracts me or or rather uh pulled me away from the improv I really disliked was You know, trying to help her and to go like, well, that's probably not gonna lead to the most successful stuff.

being in the moment with another person and creating speculative nonfiction that's only fiction because it's part of this. thing, but we act like as if, right? Anyway, go ahead. Pussies, am I right? Everyone Scott Simpson had a whole theater. Funnier? Honestly, knowing how some folks get things into prison, I'm like, I I mean, I knew I wouldn't be able to I I just know, not new. Yes, yes. No. Um, especially when they're sad, man. Uh because I don't have anything that can stick you. Oh, wait, I I'm sorry. an Asian or Asian American woman with a straight up American accent, shh, she's blonde Or I worked at one of those other, I would probably say, hey everybody, uh on college radio, but I'd say my name is Merlin Dean.

Oh holy shit, that's so cool. And then we're talking about Ethel Merman. Yeah, the not quite the the Hutzy archetype. And Caesar Romero was often that character. And sometimes he's bad and robs. Um but but if I saw honey love. Because that's, I don't know if you realize, but that that's an acronym, or as you say, an acrostic. God, it alright. you know, like a little floaty thing that looks like it has a white sheet on it. The support system of answering my questions? And that this notebook has gone viral somewhere and everyone's buying it up. It tends to be, and I thought the same thing was happening with boom boom sticks when it's like, sorry, we can't you hit together at a basketball game. No, that is that's uh that's the thing you stick up your nose.

Moxie Wait, uh sorry, I need to work on putting stuff in my nose? I'm sorry, when I went to the Boom Boom Stick website, it said, Hey, look at how oh my God. Reverse the bell. twice if you refer to MTV spring break coverage twice as quote must see TV But I've seen guys put their put their weeness in their own, but but it's funny because it's it's sort of like making a sand castle where you want the right amount of water. but elastic enough to make the bend. I don't know who that is. It was so funny. I know you don't touch black lady hair, but I hope we can talk about it. from the 90s. You look like a hairy mushroom and it's fucked up. This is the things that I think can be crass. Um, but that's not the point.

Or you did the channel. Uh yeah, I'm not sure. I think I might be a little into birds, but not a lot. I think about those all the time. they and I've kind of come to think of as alternative versions or alternative ways of spirituality. Tapes which I learned about Steve Bannon? I I cannot figure a way to mount this. When we do some weird shit, it is not too much. uh ta believe in astral projection or have a certain woo-woo type of thing because I really like and I and I'm sorry for calling it woo-woo But other but but some people when they don't have a manic episode and spend uh you know three days riding a train they uh z have like a spiritual experience and like that that is their thing and the way Oh yeah.

various states of uh, you know, weird dissociative episodes and stuff that I think of as and my doctor thinks of as mental health episodes where I guess that's how you pronounce it. You ever seen Billy Eichner do that bit? Because that's how your brain works. Mm-hmm. Spectic Jesus. Uh yeah, yeah. for most Western notions of meditation and absolutely every Western notion of what I would call relaxation. Five, experience separation. Right? Speculative not non fake or equipment. So think about like, you know, like a five or six story building where you could very much imagine yourself taking the elevator up and then the steps down. I feel and most importantly, it does feels the least culty. I felt so bad.

Uh in fact, immediately in my head, I'm like, God, that'd be so much easier if it was a ladder. Give me a break. Are you able to inhabit a world I mean you you s you still find some cis women attractive, yes? Oh, you would you would say um what's your name? What would be no no that'd be a better most most problematic hot not mm mmm problematic cult girlfriend? Certain. I find improv so thrilling to watch. And then um then of course you got you got Christian. I have watched the Connor Radcliffe George Lucas talk show movie. And then he produces a copy and they pass it around. And but like Jack Quaid and John H. Along with magic truck. Sort of like, you know, TJ and Dave, right? Improv. The one about how how astronauts come back and they don't eat human food anymore, it's so fucking funny.

And it works in the moment. in the show typically, but they go on to write a lot of amazing shows or continue to make well, continue a lot of them became podcasters. I'm still grieving the lost uh the loss of a lot of Chicago improv from pre-2020 because And you know when he talks he has an Irish accent. in this thing I saw, and she has a has has a full-on, she's just she seems totally unimpeded by her Australian accent Not like, you know, Jazzy Jeff, but like like in my case, I would probably say if I worked at um WMNF or I worked at WVFS. Allie l Ellie Liz? character. But it's really, really uh like s the word like thin mustache is written out. Uh no. What's the guy's name? Yes. How I am not full of shit.

Um other things it took me too long to realize. I guess this has been a thing since the early Tumblr days. Why why would you keep talking to that person? No, no no no. Right? That's what no, it that is the brand name of one of them. I didn't name it. Any tariff talk. P-A-R-M-E-A-Z-A-H-N. So it's such okay, it's such a non-binary haircut. I think I worry that I am devolving into like a Cheeto man with Tulsi Gabber. Which are still fucking hilarious. Yeah. And his is ridiculous. This frame is It's one frame from an entire show. She was the I m I think so. She's the one, she's the one who talks like this. Uh uh yeah, yeah. That's a little funny. Oh, okay. From a toilet where you pooped. And you put a you know, you put that in there, you're getting more potato per inch.

the secret my own secret s uh doc, but mine is stuck on the screen, but there's no longer an ad on it. So I did it and it broke. Please? I believe, I mean it'll be in notes, but as a research method, it wasn't Kenneth not Kenneth O'Leary, goodness. That's that's the thing and why I can't really come at this stuff like no but really You're genuinely worried that you're gonna you're gonna m there's somebody you like and you're gonna make them feel bad because they like gastral projector shit that I still internalize as being kind of my own speculative nonfiction. have gotten much worse at meditation or what I see as okay. We don't have time to get into that. But the the the point of the story is imagine a rope hanging above you.

Yeah, rope feels a little bit fraught. About a cult where uh you are supposed to come in and find your mate and but it's used in the most like fucked up manipulative way and eventually they run out of men. There's the one um there's the one with that the woman who's an influencer and then they they embalmed her on the bed. They make s a lot of the victims look like danglings and then they make the like supposed Oh, absolutely. I mean we'll have to find out in the after show whether. The seven most surprising hotties on um HBO murder shows, um, plus one man that may surprise you. listening to each other and trying to figure out how to take absolutely nothing and make it into something big and wonderful and real.

I bet they've got maybe sections and things they know are going to happen and cues to like play a video or something, but everything else is just reacting to what the other people said w and observing what the premise of the show is. improv isn't just because they are funny, it is because they're no it's it's so jargony. Yeah, and builders often aren't the funniest. I'm well. body cavities and sharp things in Bobby. Like before arrest. Uh who's who's a secret secret Brit? She doesn't even try to hide it like Mel Gibson. Uh Miss Casey, I shit, how did you know? And that's my name. The guy the woman that the male lead would be attracted to before she ended up back with uh before he ended up back with the woman he's supposed to be with.

But um but you know and it's funny because she was actually in a movie once with Susan Romero, who most of us know best probably from playing the Joker on the 1966 Batman series, who was totes gay. Both. Folks might know her as the punchline of a lot of eighties jokes of like, what is he what does he think he who do you think he is? um courtesy of Hamilton Burger and I I got a I got a fun meal because I wanted some nugs and I got it because sometimes when my kid was little because this is how the genre of romantic fiction. Huh. Mm, I should. Yes. That's gonna ruffle some feathers. Yes. Yeah, I uh to go with this putt-putt golf course I call a face. You understand? And so they brought in this whole new phalanx of new interns to like be the new, you know, George and uh and Meredith.

But she's got more money than Jesus. What oh my god. Will you agree with me that doing the challenge and being unsuccessful at the challenge still counts as doing the challenge? Well, but I mean I don't know. I I didn't brick mine. Oh, I kind of like that. Yeah, it's not. Gojic, I think of as pedagogic, hypna, I think as sleep. I've become very aware of certain thoughts I think, certain feelings I feel, and certain physical sensations that I can notice that are very helpful to me in falling asleep. Mm-hmm. Very specifically notice how it feels when air moves in and out of your nostrils. at least imagine or inhabit like a physical thing, in this case a rope. But get even more specific. Um, but a lot of times those tapes will say like what whatever, imagine this, however works for you.

You know, speculative nonfiction. And so a memo, the equivalent of an emo hey everybody, just so you know, mm, about half of you are men now. Thank you, chatty. may have had an impact on that. I I think I don't know. And he's really funny. with I don't watch Lower I've only seen a few episodes of Lower Decks, but I really liked it. They really know how to lay back and when to go in and when to like, you know, hugely inflate something that happened and had a rapport, but but it wasn't just the rapport, it was the trust they had in one another. He um like you can just watch him and go look that guy right there, he knows who he needs to be right now. And like and but Zach Cherry, like I j you just watch him and he's like, okay, I I just like you can tell he knows who to be right now.

It's better for that medium probably. Yes. that hey, I like to read about horny elves and uh dragons. You know how I come y y you know the bit where you talk about how I compulsively ask questions? The support system of answering my questions of just The Support And and I I couldn't even stand what I was looking at last night. Oh, absolutely. Yes. I fell asleep. Maybe we should do a draft of hot cult girlfriends. Doc Antle. Oh boy. And um he's um I don't know, I don't wanna go on about it. Because it's so anti- it's so it's so different from everything else happening. I'm I can't believe I'm so embarrassed to say this. Yeah, well that's that was the idea. Oh yes. It just it sounds like a nickname you wouldn't tell people.

It's not so much the march of time that we're going to be. I really had to think about what propane was for a moment. What you stated and the our audience. Oh, absolutely. Where you like to do that and you talk about Gen X. You are probably with a schwa, because that's an uh sound, right? Yes. If you've got a super interesting haircut, it needs maintenance. Read it. Actually, I like a lot of the cast. How do you know? I think we covered all that. You could listen to the power broke. Which makes m way more sense, but I when I read it uh the first time, I was uh very William James. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but meditation and relaxation are not necessarily so different. back a little bit into the racket of uh like what if you did speculative uh fiction hacks?

I I also uh ch often go into the documentaries that are supposedly about cults The thing with the cult documentaries that I do just g gobble up, um oh, Love has won the cult of Mother God. Sponsor anything now. We talked about this a l a lot in the um do they call themselves TJ and Dave or Dave and Chet? I uh uh yeah, it I think she's better at Ass Cat than a lot of people. Right. Now now say say R say the say the name of the restaurant. It was the guy's name and then it was So you don't you actually don't remember why. Yeah. Yes. Which is a really cool town in Georgia, Savannah. I think for people even older than you, I guess, but some people know her from a very funny cameo appearance in the movie Airplane.

Yes, so they're um and and they're gonna be a big thing. Parmesan. I think after you again now from from the person who brought you, here's butts. Where do you think your life is absolutely inscrutable to me? We've learned that there are different degrees of the challenge where like a simple person would say, oh, you didn't do the challenge. People I'm sorry, I thought we were just saying names now. Because otherwise you wouldn't attract new people if you said that. Actually that's a really good Thank you. My family, Billy's not Billy's a little into it but doesn't show it and Madeline actively dislikes it. Where she seems everything's coming up roses when they say, Oh that's a woman that that's somebody who thinks they're Ethel Merman.

We can do that. That's how she says Parmesan. Done some activities in bed. And um she was kind of really bummed because she uses it a lot and I so I got another one, which is like a pretty generic like the $150 model. And there's also all the magical thinking that we've ch talked about i and on top of that, there's my he Um no no no relax, relax. I call it whatever you want, but it's a form of relaxation. Yes. I don't think we say that anymore. I'm gonna choose typing. I know it's not. Oh, I see. I mean you only there's only so many ideas. Now, for our new listener, who apparently who knows, we may have another one this week that contacts you. Absolutely. A little bit of a monster. I mean it's they're slow as fuck and they suck, but anyway, she likes it.

What was the point? Blah blah blah. But like some of I like and they I'm often just delighted with how much I get into all these cult ones. Do you remember? Yeah, builders and bombers. That is what I would say if there was something up my butt. He's into riding a bike. She kind of, she's one of those people that kind of came up like after vaudeville, but as the classic era. Now would you spell it P A R M E R S A N if that was the title of this episode? This was one of those times where I s I started talk well this is why tu uh talking underwear is so important for a lot of trans women. Not a concealment, not saying you're embarrassed, but it's it's a way of uh disguising through the line of the garment.

So they would slow it down. Makes you think, really. Okay, so uh in the three subbullets. Identical or fertilizer? I am and the access and the like storytelling, the opening with going into the house with the Christmas lights like It's a dirty or is it saying one a derby? And even if the if it gets a laugh that night, you haven't really continued to build a trust among these other artists you're performing with. Roast beef. There you know, there's there's people uh who don't know who Ronald McDonald is, which I you know, it's not so much the march of time. Do you know what Musty TV is? I I you know what I would put I uh yes, but if if you really want to go with the reference, it would be uh The same way I incepted myself.

I th I agree. The basic conceit of the bit was they should let me host the White House Correspondence Dinner because I would just talk about the meal. No, no. Um I have uh I bought two new bird feeders, so now I have three. Number two, visualize your quote, astral body reaching out and climbing it. Give them their smoochies. I have watched so many this is still the show. Like when you see him on Conan, like all four of them doing something to promote the show. What what should I know here? Anything that can s that can hurt me, hurt you, anything you can stick me. Interesting you should say that because I went to do a spot on my college radio and it was like, yeah, we're gonna do a bit. I feel like sometimes people don't understand the people don't understand the exercise sometimes.

Z Zimmerman? Um, okay, and that and and so you would use the ghost with a book to s to s to um to communicate what to another person. So maybe this is gonna go the way of my soap. Shh read it. Have you ever seen somebody who has two different haircuts? I'm just tossing this out, but you know how we got science fiction and another term that's related but similar is speculative fiction. I was like, I had a JJ Arms doll. Number three, and here's where it gets good, reach the hypnagogic state. Well, what did it say uh what are the uh y you know, subpoints around Up till three, points one and two are like what anybody would tell you It's speculative. Anyways, it's so thrilling for me to watch these things.

I thought it was a compliment. I g I there no the I've got to be a good thing. This I need a reverse bell. And we get frustrated when you get the reference wrong. I know enough to know that that like there's all kinds of hair. Like when she was at the Senate. Yes. And I think she's in a uh Ellen Pompeo now. Alright. Zach J Jack Zach Cherry has been on their show, I think, like eleven times, but it's also Britt Lauer, who's also a UCB person. If you had a needle, if you had a needle in your rectum, I'd let you go. And you're saying Jamie might have been a drug mule, a baby baby mule. Yes. We're talking about McDonald Land and uh oh yeah, so so Zimmerman. And it's kind of like uh well, I was about to say it's stylized, right?

She's the one who says Parmesan. Important. No, I do. Did you try? You don't hurt someone's feelings, yes? Don't sleep on butts. I don't think that's what I mean. Peter, Mark, Johnny, I know this. Is is it true that I I can't stand it. That that's where I would go when my family didn't know. I need to look like a fucking monster. That's that's what you're talking about. I don't know why. Hello, hello, hello. I always ask you the same three questions every week. I mean, like there's a friend of mine who I've reconnected with on Blue Sky who was a big shot at our radio station, um, John Bennett, and I think what was his? If I if I only talked about things you care about, we'd just do headlines.

You ever think maybe sometimes people give you an answer just so you stop asking? Where I had a I had a well I hope I hope not. So you'd spell parm in uh, you know, a chicken parm, which is made with parmesan. Casey. He would say to people, you know, because Jose Abert comes out, he's got his braid and his funny hat and he's playing with your hair and looking at the model's hair. How would you know? You know, and then they did a whole Doc Antle special about what a piece of shit that guy was. No, because it's the if you're somebody like Griffin or Connor Ratcliffe, like And you might say your name I I can do this. They go of ex exactly. Embargo. I went to order something on Amazon and it's like wait, why should find out if it went viral without researching it?

That's my turn. You want to do the challenge? There's one who wrote The Ambassadors and the other one who's a psychologist, and I don't really care which is which. Because I I did it as a j oh my god, that's another thing it took me too long to realize. Here's where it gets good. It's it really gives me life. Um Talk and inmates? Z Wait, Z I as in the letter I. It kinda seems like it kinda seems like you start slipping into first, you know, pretty quick, and then you sort of realize I'm already talking, so now I have to turn this into something. The ones who are 80. Yeah, very important. People don't understand this about curly fries. Was astral projection? Yay, toilets. I like it. It's not a bit.

And I didn't know what that meant. Why would it? So um I got that, but what was my point um about burgers? You can't feign not caring. It was just cheaper than the vapor fix ones at the time. In this economy, when I went and said, But you've got done two now, so let's go ahead and cap that one. This is well n now I'm now I am unsure of how to actually pronounce the word. Himmler. That's not funny. It's not a women thing, but it's just like an on like just now. Yeah. Why did you start talking about butts? And he yeah, he's a thirties type though, don't you think, kind of? I still miss George. Rogers and Hammerstein. Well, we've got all kinds of gradations before we even get into peanut butter, which I still don't really understand, but but here's what I'll tell you.

I think you're thinking we mean you said spectacle, but I think you mean uh sycinal. I felt so the woman who had to like agree to basically in the most ham-fisted way, and I'm saying this in a dumb way. I think that gave people some some space to uh really try to drill down and and get people to say silly. Oh is this the animated show? Maybe I just plugged in my headphones all the way. What else do you have written down? I've got the challenge, I've got obsidian. They need to bring me in as a Gen X consultant. He's got that young sports star like a fucking Mahomes look. I like a range of potatoes. I think about I think about like, you know, are we measuring volume? Yeah. The early the early videos of her just sitting there on one of those generic white plastic chairs.

Like, like, I know I'm not supposed to like her, but that lady who tied up her kids, the the super parenting mom. Remember the vegan uh the vegan woman who went on the lamb? I like a herald. And bomb bombers are the ones who come in and like they're the they're the cameo people who come in and like And they're like Butts aren't a joke, Merlin. Yeah. I should take a uh l maybe an internal tally of how many times you can't mumble your way out of this You got anything that's gonna stab me? Oh good, okay. I don't know. I'm folding laundry. You ever seen him do that bit? And it provided me with an emoji of a of a person in, I think, a lotus position. Oh fuck god. But like you see p the it's you know, it it's I'm not I'm trying to avoid all the sort of broad, dumb things that people say about improv because it can mean so many different things.

I do that every Monday. Oh my god. You know, propane's a liquid. Uh but he listeners, I'm gonna investigate if this notebook has gone viral. Yeah. I don't want it to be a few minutes. People just watch this shit and with these fucking 40 minutes of commercials every hour. So you have you typed Ethel Merman? Do you want do you want me to sing it in the file again? She's in good shape. I mean, I just want people to be not talking to me. That's why it hasn't really caught on. Like what could that mean? It just looks so much like thin blue light to me. Oh, you mean like well g maybe Skillshare in there? And then you got downtown uh Griffin Newman as Watto. You don't ha often don't have uh the trust of the other players.

Did you know that? When he left um V FSU, he um got a really cool job at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. All right. That would be like if McDonald's was started by Hamilton Berger. Oh my god. What's Musty TV? Like is that it does she actually want to look about look about that. Oh my god, it really does. It's not important. Yes, sir. Jail broke, but I can't get co-reader, which apparently is the baller. Can key Timothy it wasn't Timothy O'Leary, but uh around the time Timothy O'Leary was researching arms I have not been able to SSH into it. And I tried the thing, listened to the tapes, wasn't successful, but I discovered I That was my my whole thing. Yes. It is, I think, the the most intimate form of uh Oh okay.

Right. Costco boys, what are you gonna do? So you learned about it from reading the Turner Diaries. That's what else can I do. No, no, no, my arm. There's no bits in my butt. Yes. So did you do that winter one? I think I kinda like that too. Like notice which part of the edge of your nostril you feel it most sensitively or the most. These guys weren't even necessarily going for a laugh, they were going for intimacy with one another. I have uh three and a half minutes ago why it's called Arby's and you said it's because of the guy's name. Yeah, but you also do a thing where you just agree and act like you realized it and you don't. I think it's okay to call it. Two, enter a deep state of relaxation.

Well, and that's if you remember, do you you remember the orange liquid tape that I bought in high school and made you listen to? Yes. You talk about these things. Do you know why? I did that. You know, you can do the new mom thing for a while. They're haircut drives me bananas. Number four, use visualization. Yes. They're all named like shit like Brittany Brittany or Bridget or something like that. We were talking about Askat in particular and you I was saying how I really liked Amy Polar and I think you were saying she's a builder. I don't think they asked I mean if they're asking about high at least on the TV show cops, which I did use to watch I have a new can I can I tip you to a new thing it took me too long to realize?

In pre-android, like way yeah, 30s, I think you said. It sounds less Jewish. That's funny too. Is this a longer cut than what you put online before? Are you are you um are you still watching Grays? We've also got uh no notebooks in the hospital, haircut so crazy, and I go out and Seattle is hazy. I did the oh sorry, sorry. If you explain the people that everyone knows and then I'm But he's not playing George Lucas as he exists, he's playing George Lucas as a character. Yeah. How crazy is that? So they say, where are you? But the ghosty's not the one The ghost isn't part of it. And she's got highlights. But the one who's going out with train spotting. We have the bring back Arby's. That's really good.

Oh, we could also do a YouTube series about this and give you know we would open our mouths for a thumbnail. And the woman says to George Lucas, You have a black wife? We have we act as if every this is a real thing. Okay, cool. I feel like this is egg as a decoder episode waiting to happen, but also with Botox and a lot of people. Okay. She was one of the pals. She'll be all right. You can listen to power broke. You're aware of like Connor Radcliffe is, plays George Lucas, who has sold all of his stuff to That can can work, but uh, even if you are the funniest like ha ha ha pussies. No offense, John. That would be a thing it took you too long to realize, and you still haven't realized it, so you're still eligible.

All right. To research whether we've gone viral to mock oh my god. Yeah. Yeah. But and she's like, I have so much more I want to know so much more about you now that I know you have a black wife. But what's neat is like it can show up where to where you would watch it and go, like, well, how much of this is written? I do that every Monday. Yeah, you're a better person than me. Are you gaslighting me and what I know? Did you get the photo I sent you? She she she actually she sounds like somebody impersonating how black ladies talk, and she's so good at it. Yes, please. How the fuck would you know? Uh you're normally gronk ri I heard baby gronk raised you up. Not uh no no no, I'm American. I wouldn't do it to a phone, because, you know, I don't trust myself.

So there's different ways to succeed or fail in life. No, I don't. Um exactly. Most of what I do is kind of a former member of kind of kind of Oh you don't we haven't scripted this show I stammered. And what did I just watch? Every time I see the dad, I you know what I say. Yeah. They've fucked. Did you watch Anna Dalvi Foundation? I could definitely get enough into birds for one week. Well, even folding laundry deserves better music than that. Six, return. Where I don't know if you remember this, but I so clearly remember, of course, it was lockdown and every episode you'd be like, you've got to be fucking kidding me. The uh you know, um better help really, they will just And I and they said like, what about like your first name and a combo of your last um or your middle name?

And um yeah, he brought us there to play, and people weren't into it, but it was nice because we got to visit with John. I'd love to be grimace. Because if it's if it is sold out on Amazon, then it's ne it needs to be a good thing. Um while I was listening to that, I was thinking to myself, you know what? I don't I don't. Parmesan, Parmesan. I mean, okay, and again, now for our new listeners, of which there are literally none Oh, there's one every week. Well I can put things on there 'cause I I heard someone else pronounce a calibre and that made me laugh. But I I wasn't, you know. That's very massive body hurling toward Earth more inside. Well you said that. I did not. I don't know. Don't tell me.

It would be so I do you realize how much how much gas I leave on the table every week? We solve a mystery nobody asked about. Did you watch Anna Delvey? Remember they didn't even recognize him? Is there anything else to forget? This is the state between wakefulness and sleep. Hot Girl Derby. I'm gonna say yes, I am prepared for it to be a good day. I'm I'm not de- How is that the how is that the guy who started the company's name? Do people masturbate when they read those? You know what I realized? Well, Ditto maybe from Mega Malale kind of a little bit on gemstones, but there are ladies who go and do that, and I I know enough about hair to be dangerous. They're like, why is it more expensive?

Who did that? You you're really trying to ask astronomy. Tina Faye? It's a very funny fucking bit. I identify as a tank. Are you familiar with Ethel Merman? Um, well, in some books. Oh man. Just how it's ruffled. I did not peanut butter this week. I just watch it. And how can I, you know. As far as you know. Here's what gets good is step three. I d just there's nothing that can stick you, there's nothing that can harm you. Did you watch um Severance? Your whole story is just it's a tissue of lies. Could you please type the name Ethel Merman? You have been confronted with the fact that you're full of shit and you have not acknowledged it. Too often We've made progress today. Well, no. Could you please uh read the following uh blue sky aloud to me?

An act action figure, sorry. See I think the word hang is is cut probably. Friend of the pod. Are there people coming in and out of prisons as inmates enough that they could replenish their supply of whatever they need? I can do this. Yeah. RB's. I've got Joe Brick and Kindle. The front page of the New York Times has so much advice right now. You need to shut up. I don't like that there's no Arby's in in Chicago. John Benjamin are playing two different versions of the same. Singletes are not always going from the left. And then talk about how important they are. No. It kind of puts a lie to the whole shape of Grimace, but I think in when you're in world It's so generic. Yes, the people who support me who answer my questions.

She has amazing hair that I happen to know does not happen by accident and more saliently does not stay that way by accident. Important. Actually I might have bricked mine. I mean, just because it's nonfiction doesn't mean it's true. I'm I'm being corny here, but it actually gives me life. Have I introduced you to the concept of bombers and builders in Hello. I know this. I think this might be the most took you too long to find out of all of the things it took you too long to find Gray it's on because my family watches. A guy, a guy, left yeah, last night the guy a guy got stuck to an MRI machine with like an IV stand because he was doing a treasure a scavenger hunt in the hospital. I am I'm very happy for you.

Listen, you're not being a dick about this. It's not doing the hard work of meditation, at least as I see it personally. But speculative nonfiction. When he lets himself, I was like, okay, scared or a drug meal? But I don't know, I don't know if this is accurate. And I I feel like I need to say this a lot. No, no, I will get yelled at. She's in I've seen a thumbnail. I imagine it's the way, you know, like people can suffer so much shitty TV because they're stupid. There were various ways in speculative nonfiction that folks were trying uh trying shit out. When I ask you is whatever. And relax everybody. Helly R, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to think. Her name's Ethel Zimmerman. America's roast beef, yes sir, spells the word Arby's.

Sure. So I don't report. Should we drop it in? This is not this is not Jim Crow. They all have kind of similar names. But um any sort of th theater experience. He's got a funny voice. And and that's who the somebody gets attracted to for a while. It's a recursive nymph. Like, hey everybody, you know how everybody came here to find their twin flame? Oh my god. I don't know anyone's accent. Ali Liz. I can do this. And there's definitely been times in my life where I've been like, ooh, I'm gonna go to the house. They're a lot faster than lightning sticks. And so they do have good haircuts, but that's their sex hair. Um because I like that about you. Stay calm. A lot of it's just watching somebody like Zach Cherry, who's very, very funny to me.

Just crazy to think about. I think actually uh D. See, I feel like you're kind of working across purposes with the point of the exercise a little bit. Well, it it is ghost ass. I mean I'll I'm open to other sizes, but this is so ideal and I'm so acclimated to it. Yes. John is the only person that ever um contracted to pay Bacon Ray to play an out-of-state gig. Oh okay, so here's what I want you to do. Oh, uh real quick, do you think of anything when you see a little cartoon ghost? It was a challenge one time. I was taking a shit this morning and listening to that. Oh. No, I I think I'm thinking of the of the uh what are they called? We're we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna go through some rounds here.

And that takes that takes intelligence and sensitivity and creativity in a way that I think a lot of people can't be fucked to do anymore. I don't know. Your life is a black box. Now one of the things that happens in this is Michael Fossbender is uh who whom I love. Now a lot of people think this is it turns out because a lot of people think, oh, Arby's America's roast roast beef, yes, sir. Oh Jesus Christ. Oh millennials. It's an unusual it's an unusual because the most famous one is people is men who try to blow themselves. That's a in uh m Um what already? Anna Delvey Foundation? Um the challenge this week is to try astral projection. We stay strong. And like you're not paying that much attention, like under decks or or below ship or whatever, or The only way I can get it to work is through that dumb Amazon USB access app where you can't do stuff like change permissions or see the size of things and it's it's garbage.

Each of these has three sub bullets. Yes. I would have to say to them you're you're so deranged. Yeah, but she's the woman at the desk at the hotel. I learned about it from asking Chatty G. Also, Chatty G, in fairness, did tell me that this is bullshit. Number four, use visualization. But that poor woman, those two women, they really wanted to believe in it. Yeah, uh sure. Like just and you know, and we're watching we're so look, there's the one with the severance cast recently that's really fucking funny. Say it again. No, it's like it's like David Miscavige's wife, Shelly. Like, oh god, Ego Wadeem, is that her name on SNL? Did we cover everything? Every week? You can't be on time for anything, but you're keeping track of when there's one new listener to the show.

Anyways, uh to do so this week's challenge is to try astral projection. And so I got one and I thought because I ran across this video on YouTube, fella shows you how to jailbreak. Cause I mean there are dreamlike states that are like pretty wild to me. That could mean a lot of things I go. But also it fits on uh it fits on uh f in in credits and on on movie uh marquees. Uh the the the you got the enders. Yeah, I thought that was a pretty good one. On their hair. Now then you got highlights like Tulsi Gabbard, you know, where she's she went in and said, could I please have the Disney villain skunk streak? I like undercuts. It was enjoyable. As far as I know. Yes. Oh I watched um I watched the movie Black Bag.

You have a Duchess name title. There's one in particular I'm thinking of. Right away I'm like, did someone force her to do that? It's gonna go the way of my shampoo. You know, a hospital's more than a building. It's got a rich tradition. Did you try astral projection? You'd be like saying paying for Super Bowl tickets is about not going to the Super Bowl. Exactly. You're just introducing them now. I have a less problematic name. Unlike a lot of people, there's a very good documentary about Connor Radcliffe and the George Lucas talk show. Are is that something they leave they go out on a regular is it is it how how do they keep getting out to bring stuff in? Yeah. I I walk straight into the the I walk into the crowd of people saying, I can't believe you never realized that and I say, Yeah, that's the point.

Propane and propane accessories. They're shipping iPhones over. I should have asked if there was anything I had that could stick me. Oh, I landed that. Because I you know what? Wait, don't Noel Bushnell? Like how many names of people do you know? And then the guy just goes Alex Cox is fine. We should listen to it together, maybe. Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmes If that's actually what it's called, that's gonna be funny. I'm not gonna get into it here because I don't have time. This is a nice experience. Huh. Oh no, because they've learned that it doesn't work. And you probably have like a lot of personality problems if it needs a lot of upkeep.

This I kept I was probably being a little bit of a tryhard and a little bit of a striver because I thought the only thing better than me doing this bullshit challenge that we came up with would be me succeeding at it. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, not or I or rather they don't get the most laughs. Okay. No, but she's brassy. You need to hire me. Did you watch Inventing Anna? Um I and I would go there sometimes and get RB's on my own. Oh challenge. Are we measuring weight? Step three and four are my favorites. Look up hypnogojic. Thank you. It's just these two guys who had uh so much trust in each other. Because I've seen the first season many times, but I do enjoy I l I not just enjoy, I love Which is a little deceptive because that's not a real initial unless that's her middle initial.

So before um before her last name, I want you to type the letter Z-I-M. Oh it's clever. Parm uh jahn dash z H A N. Um it's gotta be a bit. It's always funny. Oh, I I agree. A friend of the pod. Absolut Absolutely. He's having a moment. I mean it's not like an anatomically correct ghost. No, I don't have enough gas or and enough propane. They're everywhere. Us that used to mean I think I'm Barney Miller that used to mean you get a beage or or a hage and then you also get some pen. Yes. And Jose Bear is saying you need something a little more integrated. Yeah, 007. I get two orders of potato cakes. Guys, uh they're curly, so there's more fry. Yes. There's no t twin flames involved. Oh my god. See, I figured this economy?

But then you said you don't want to talk about butts, and I think you're being a little evasive about all butts. Uh not not all called Honey Love Removers. RBs. Turns out. You stick up your nose and it gives a big burst of mint or some other flavor and it kind of wakes up. Like so many brand names, it sounds exactly like when when you when you say just the same word twice. Oh, like I think. I look at this woman and I'm like, are you just m mocking? We got butts, needles. I think she's in something with uh Marc Duplass that doesn't look very good. Uh 12 30 is still good for you. Speculative nonfiction. Is this an older No, no, it's brand new. And uh it's holding either like a Kindle No, I mean isn't there aren't there other projects that you could spend time on?

Um I meant to put this in. Oh. It involves a lot of uh It doesn't mean you're from England. I'm gonna acknowledge the audience. Taking a shit and I realized, uh, you know what? And for example, if you're talking about something that was on TV in the nineties and you at least You check every week to see if there's one new listener? This is after Amy Polar was Andy's sister. I. At the when that show started, honestly I didn't know. I don't know. Yes, hello audience. But but at a certain point it needs to look like, you know, you weren't in a hurry to get that haircut. No, I'm not. I mean, that's really the American dream. And I'm like, thank you. These are the six steps. Let your body feel heavy and relax.

Above all of those documents, they started pairing the women up and you're like, really? They're not That's why this is a good documentary. The Star Trek show where they're like, you know, like red shirty people. Because I'd say, you know what? This is Duby Friday, a weekly challenge podcast with Alex Cox and Merlin Mann. He does. This is a bit from reconcilable differences, but I find it to be a fascinating bit. Yes. No, well f if you ain't gonna be a good thing. You know, and you can like di you can disguise things like all those ladies on cable TV that have inside slightly darker panels on the side so they look slender. Um it's just it's a MacGuffin, right? That's definitely what people say before they get really into birds.

A lot speculative as as the young people say is doing a lot of the work there. They're more they're a little more like classic old school Chicago. Bascomb might have said that to Jamie in the first episode of that program. Well every time I see the ad for those brassiers, I say the same thing. Oh no. The ghost isn't getting banged. She goes in somewhere every two to three weeks and says, bring back my 101 Dalmatian streak. Okay. Especially if you're in Manhattan. You could listen to King Gizzard and Lizard Wizard while you fold your laundry. Oh, I think about shit like this all the time. Well, spectics, spectics do look at things kind of oddly sometimes. Which maybe you could get into I'm s I'm squatting, I'm coughing, nothing up my sleeves or my butt.

What was my other one? I call it I call it getting a half and half. Yes. Okay. Must-Cee TV. Did you watch that? I c I Alright, well what's the thing? Everybody's mad at Skillshare. His sidekick. I know it's got Jack Quaid and there's this uh African American woman who's on Lower Decks too, the Star Trek Show. Wow, you sound great, Merlin man. But even when I try to do that, you end up someplace that I just can't do it. That's what happened with Arby's. How do I argue? It is not immediately to to like genuinely I was not looking to mock the people who The Ambassadors is a really overrated book. Well, you should watch some of these videos. No, this will be a little bit more than a lot of people.

Excited? Like we said before, butts are important. Maybe I'm still. Bring Oh, maybe that's his initials, Arby roast beef I they don't have JJ Arms dolls. Okay. I'm also entirely aware that that is crap to me. You ready? Is this do you want to go straight into the after show? It m wasn't a Thin Man movie, obviously. What a bizarre thing to say. I think, you know, you know how you and all your people I think is a more uh no no no like a more you're doing it like phonetically You ready, Alex? No. That's where I went. And just the way that like there's no net. Um I've got the challenge. Do you remember when she said Parmesan? There's the skinny pretty actress I like and the regular pretty actress.

Are you know displacement? Winter No. That's okay, that's part of the process. Because I find myself very attracted to women in cults and murderers. Self-involved messes. I know it's not a joke. You're the one who wanted to talk about butts. Take off the S. I think Big Mac's in on it personally. On Amazon, boom boom sticks were sold out. Yeah, yeah. Because first of all, and I'm gonna yeah, I'm gonna quote Jose Aber again, but I'm gonna quote Josea Bear, Jose Bear's most important quote. I'll figure it out. Four, use visualization. Like the she she's she's giving face. Because people are fully in the moment. Um I don't want to be sad. Huh? The actor you're talking about, she is just uh How would you know what we're talking about?

It's like wet tissue of lies. Things that took you too long to realize. I I would if I'm not see TV. Two attractive people who look like they have just fucked in an on-call room, I believe. You know, like like maybe he was sent to some kind of military boot camp and they let him out early and the sides are still kind of growing in and you're like I eventually So what do you want to talk about okay, I I'd like to talk about what Chatty G told me. That's what I love about it. Did you write that did you type type Ethel Merman? I don't remember because it was uh like people thought it was America's roast beef. Oh anyway, I think you still don't really understand the the bit about Arby's. Um I don't f Like the boom boom sticks did, which I then I had to put even more subpar things into my nose.

Very exciting. I think that one includes a walking down steps thing. Um, hot cult girlfriends, is that something you'd consider? So we don't we don't know what's up with Miss Casey. You just realize that now? It's a um across While they're reading it or later on they think about it? That'll be four hundred and fifty dollars You're buying substandard things to put in your nose? And the other thing I realized while I was taking a shit and listening to Dakota Ring. Oh Gray is she she does the voiceover. Yes, and they are Pompeii's riches Crisis now. I I jail broke my Kindle, but I can't get co-reader running on it, so that's where I'm a little bit hung up Like weird there's so much weird Catholic Thank you.

Oh, I should just say. Um I'm like, okay, as a skeptic One, prepare your body. Oh no. There's just a guy who sits on his porch with a shotgun. Better a comedy practice. I sound good too. Not enough, but yes. No, it wouldn't. And I I was like, oh, that's right. Really? We'll talk about that. And I was thinking to myself, you know what? That's true. True. Cause they're super smart. I'm not going to read all of them. I bet we get a sponsor for that, Hot Girl Derby. I s m said you sh because it's your bit. No. But I was watching, uh, I have a new uh channel I like on YouTube that does Broadway stuff. Really? My other one I think was not as good. Is it always fantastical? There's two possibilities.

And I I thought this was good. The Mormon one, I've seen three of those, I think. Oh god. And I mean, it's kind of come back. Oh shit. Yes, I did try astral projection. Yes. Billy Eichner does a funny bit where you know he he comes up Billy on the street, right? So different. Can't land on a fraction. It's oh god. Um it's uh oh I I know this. The yes, like the way darts line, darts or certain well, hang on, let's keep it classy. Well it was it had a big role in your life. One potato cake goes on my beef and cheddar and the other one I have on the side. Oh, it says it doesn't have any. Remember that one? Which I didn't know either. And just watching people do yeah, I mean like I don't know how much Adam Scott's had like training in that, but he's really fucking funny and fast.

Do you have an ability to either write on something or to type somewhere? What was his name? Okay. Um, we've got Arby's, we've covered haircuts and intercourse. I want to be happy. True. I really well they're not. Um also can I just toss this out? Oh, they're adorable. And that is the thing that's a good idea. And it's they're so invested in it. I don't know anyone's accents, and I'm always excited when I find out what it is. Grimace, you know, everyone knows the grimace shake. I just want to note again that this Oh yeah. Oh, you were asking it for editorial opinions on how you should regard it. No, okay, if it helps you, you could make it another thing. Yeah. Or three, imagine your body rolling or floating up and away from itself.

That's not bad. Some supposed victims who were like doing like you knew you were grifting and you the fucking fucking knew it. That's the girl version Um But how how'd they come up with that name, Arby's? So you're talking to the audience and you you're stipulating here that you're gonna go work on a project where you figure out something called a boom boom stick. So after you have intercourse I do. Yes. But you know, improv, it thrills me. Getting a laugh is not the assignment. Good for you. I watched I watched the Jesus Christ Superstar video too. Mm-hmm. And then I incepted. No, no, I want to hear more about this. We hear a slow core melodica cover of Tainted Love. Nice. Oh yeah. Uh I'd say I find it.

I uh yeah, I al also talked to Chatty G about it and you know It is one of, I mean, hmm It's a safe space. Yes. No. Oh I'm so glad. I can't argue with that. Um i it it was used And they start pulling up pictures of them together to show on stage. No, TJ and Dave. Is there anything else I should know? It means you're a secret Brit, which is a term of art. You got uh the freaks come out at night. But there was a point to some of that. So I I listened to uh the Melrose I'm already pulling out JJ Arms, who was a private detective that had hooks for hands in the 70s. This one is vital to my falling asleep process as well. And this is a documentary on I want to say HBO, maybe Netflix. He doesn't just like tell a joke because he knows a joke.

Oh. Where where where did you put Merriam McCheese? I just don't uh uh There's two possibilities. Um I it's Are you worried about tariffs? No It's not spring break on MTV. Okay. Because I thought it was called caliber. Um problematic girl derby We're gonna trot out our show horses. But I you know how how I get, I mean, I'm about to say real things here. But they are considered builders in in scenes because they're all four of the UCB people are terrific She was getting roles in the 30s, but you know, she was usually Isn't that awesome? People might think that's a bit. I've got some follow-up on Obsidian. This is Neff. It there's important distinctions in the challenge. We get our RB Illen But with this, yeah, I would like to put EPUBs on there.

I did the challenge. Step-by-step guide. That's probably what I think. I'd wreck that shit, man. I thought I was saying the kind of thing that a cop always says on TV when they're about to search somebody. Please do. Or as you say, rail. I kept thinking I w what I wrote down here was I wrote down the date and the day. Wow. That's what Nietzsche said. The Hunter Diaries? What happened. Two. And all these people are looking for love. I uh And that was that. Yeah, but Ethel Merman was she's an interesting character. Or Well that really wasn't the point of my anecdote. RB. It's gonna go the way of my undershirts Oh my god, we should be able to do that. I think it's for HD. Well I'm I'm sending you this photo anyway and I I'd like you to read something aloud.

I would do anything else here. I'll put I c I came across a video. Yes. Mm-hmm. Like George Lucas mentioning that his wife has a book about money out and he'd like everybody to buy it. Yeah, like just um most of the people have gotten famous from Yeah. And you've heard this name. What you just talked about Yes. She's carrying her purse and it's so fucking funny. How do you know? I'm like That's like saying buying gas is the same as driving a car. But I remember when I very first learned a Yep. Yes. And Billy's like, so how much of this do they write? If everybody's going to metal with a metal to do a bit, it's not I mean you don't have to be delved closer And other people pick up who he needs to be right here.

Can I just if we just make it clear? Yes. But the ghost doesn't have to be bonding. Is that what you're reading? If it's got a one to two month delivery on Amazon, that tends to mean they're not making a lot of them. Oh my god. And there's no repetitions. Okay. You know, that kind of thing. You gotta put stuff in folders. Here's the six bullets. Three. I'd be like, well, I think they Larry David this a little bit. Everything's falling apart. Are you familiar with the letters of the Roman alphabet? Well you just told me they yelled at you. Is it fantastical um double penetration or what have you? Okay, you joke, but I don't. And he says something along the lines of, you know, you know, darling, your problem is you have two different haircuts.

Oh, absolutely. That's good phrasing. I I would say imagine a rope gently dropping down towards you. Mm-hmm. Why? Good for me. And it's um it's a spy thing. There's an act there's an actress on that show. I don't I don't think I understood the assignment. I don't remember. It's it's not a yes, it is it's it's not it's not spooky. A ghost doing something cozy means smut for ladies. Both of these characters have two completely different haircuts. Yeah it's a real kind of William James type situation for sure. Like you would frustrate people pretty quickly. And I'm like, huh. Enter a state of a deep state of relaxation. Are you in a relaxed state? You need fiber. I typed out Ethel Merman. I think Gen X is all about references.

Yes. There are no good undercuts. I do that. So just so you know. Like what or what if non-fiction But But like the four of them Or Merrick McCheese. What did I write down? Oh yeah, yeah. Could you could astral projection be a form of speculative nonfiction? There's no um The woman with the large face, she's so articulate. And this is the pre-sondheim de I'm just trying to Because it was the first when I went to the boom booms or And uh then there is a possibility that there's going to become Parmesan, Parmesan. Look Do you recognize this woman because she had the best part in the whole show? But uh we do try to do the challenge and over over the many years we've done this program. Okay, so so so so there's there's a mil I'm still terrible at meditation.

And you can imagine like turning around the corners. And she's Yeah, and also they lit it like Errol Morris, which I And these are all UCB people. Yes. Robble Robble Speculative nonfiction. I'm George I'm George Lucas Creator Star Wars. They should bring me people should bring me in. No in the light No, I get a message from someone. Did you do the challenge? I've just forgotten names of people. A sic a sycinal person. Reach the hypnagogic state. I like that. And you need to really inhabit that. It sucks, man. Oh well see I'm from a different time. No, shit. I say honey love. What's the stand for? That's interesting. Yeah, they took ours away. Whatever they're called the Turner Diaries, that's what I'm thinking of.

No. I know it's early to be talking about challenges. It's on my list. Which is really clever, but that's an eighties invention. Oh good, good. Parm in all caps, dash But read it, read it in like a like a good voice. Yeah. And I just I I just don't like how a lot of the uh more You're talking about in like romance novels?

She cut off the first three letters. I went to the Boom Boom Sticks website. I think it's because of HD. She did the funniest fucking thing on on weekend update. I think the regular pretty actress who's Meredith's sister, I want to say.

And what'd you say? I feel like that's important to the show. When you stare into the Arby's, the Arby is also stares back at you. They're seasoned. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Relating to the state immediately before falling asleep. I think Billy's fucking with you. I l I love improv. We can use it. It was some one of those movies though, like where there's always a guy, often with a pencil thin mustache. I said, I don't know, isn't it because of the guy's name? Do you think about it before you ask it the question? Do we ever listen to it live on the show? Beautiful. Oh yeah. No, JJ Arms erasure. Your whole family's gonna go meditate somewhere that's not the super I don't know. How are you? I was gonna say in rom-coms, but I feel you.

It has to be erect enough to accomplish what you're trying to do. We we You're speculating. And uh to the other new listener And there's only a couple I want to concentrate on that And the more specific you can get with that, I think the more useful it is. Yes. You can fix her. It makes me, it makes me it makes me hopeful about life to watch improv. Hey everybody. Oh, yeah. Orange Man bad. That's the thing they don't tell you. While your mind stays gently alert, very well put. Butts are no joke. That was an actual thought. So yeah, it's Because it's I don't care.

What what's the guy's name? She's a wonderful actor. I think the one a lot of people use, it's at least the one I use is Check out McCaremy. Sounds like you're having a good day. I mean, some of them were his name was something like John Paul or I got s my family is out of town and I I got McDonald's. Otherwise you would have been a lot more amazed. A problem that Also Casey Hunt should let somebody different just do her hair in general. You have a I saw a bird challenge and I it interests me. Are you ready?

Um I've got me trying to jailbreak my new Kindle. Parmesan, Parmesan, Parmes Who's that one guy? First of all, the challenge is um not important, or as you say. We used to have one over by the over by the grocery store in the bagel place. Can I suggest a name? Really? And the it's it's TJ and Dave. Because you know, I had to weigh birdseed yesterday, so I have to think about this stuff.

I'd like to change the the sleep image. Maybe somebody, maybe Pink drops down one of those ribbons so you can do aerial dancing together. Well in what in things like that, which I again I would you can call that self-hypnosis. TikTok is all about grimace. I'm gonna look for the word tariff, and I think what I will find is some of their advice about things. You know, sickenal, uh a a sicnic. I'm like, well All butts matter. Al Alexandra Elizabeth? You I don't have to be a little bit of a support system already. I I said yes. They're a couple. Wow, take one Who messages you about the show? I what ac what actor am I talking about?

How would it possibly be safe? First of all, it's a lot less. No. What? Are you aware of what's happening on the show? You can move at your own speed, steps, ladder. Yeah. Which is very clever. You sound dumb. Oh, God. I I thought my interpretation was they've just Do you see, are you able to inhabit even How people get things into prison. And I I like I like English spy things. Are we talking about Steve guy? Oh, you mean like a little VIX inhaler? Okay. You're gonna find out if it's a meme. I got a lot hanging over Imagine a rope hanging above you.
