[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, every day, all weekend, multiple tag, cause he, he likes the water. So he goes a few times a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just gets out of the hot tub, dumps it in the trash can and gets on his way. And they just had to, so if, uh, the wind in Vegas is wondering where some towels have gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it is Nick Novicki and he is throwing them all in the trash can. So, uh, it was, but it was, it was a, uh, awesome, awesome weekend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now we get some, uh, now we get to chill out for a second. Yeaah. I don't think start till January, yeaah. Start back up January 12th. I think, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Just out in the open. Just out in the open. You should ask the hallmark lady to switch seats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, neck is real, real southern. Yeaah. Uh, yeaah, that, I don't know what you do. I mean, you try, I've seen just violence on it where you're like, you feel uncomfortable. You're like, I don't like this. There's too many people can see this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I don't, I don't know what I, I just don't watch that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watch a whole scene of you just trying to watch an episode. How long was the flight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just start stretching and just like, you know, and you know, like block it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See this? Yeah. One of the best shows of all time. One of the best shows. What are you watching? Hallmark? Loser? Uh, yeah, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't watch stuff on, I think your generation's fine watching on your phone. I don't think y'all need a big screen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick said he got a bunch of doctor advice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah, I mean, I think he was going to try to reach out to some of them, but I mean, they might be right. His guy might be right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Him putting in contact lenses, I just don't know if I like that. It's just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I just, I'm going to be a wreck until like just knowing he's doing that every day. I just don't know. You have to take them out. I don't understand what hard is. Is there any hard?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You wear contacts now? Oh yeaah. It's hard, uh, yeaah. You have glasses too? Yeaah. Just in case? Mhm. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I get it, type one is a breeze. I was born with type one. Yeah. I got that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do I gotta tell the doctor? So some people that I don't know all say they think I look like a guy that has type 2 diabetes. So can y'all check that out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you don't mind. They're like, why would you want to do that? A lot of people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I've been drinking, I've been drinking more now since then. I mean not, I don't get it as much, but it's like, it just felt like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still get, uh, very dry mouth. I still, you know, and I mean, I've been pounding some water. Yeah. Uh, it could be eating, dude had ice cream last night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean you have to do like all the shots and stuff if I do it, right? Is that what your dad does? Yeaah, but I don't know which one he has. I think he has one that you could get rid of. Like if he ate better and worked out, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which seems like some of them, it's not like you're, cause I mean, uh, isn't J-Colored diabetic? I almost, I don't know if I'm throwing that on him, but uh, let's say he is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he has it. Type one. Type one. So that's like your, uh, we should ask him about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's, but that's like you're born with it. Yeaah. That's like you have no choice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, easy, I mean, my, if it's type two, it's like, yeah, Asia, it's earned. So I got to get that. All right. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we have a lot of Pete listeners that have typed UW. I guess maybe we'll have a meetup. They all know. Are there doctors?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of listeners, either doctors or they have it. Uh, Jeremy Hoffman, he's, he has type three diabetes. I don't, Jeremy, I'm sorry. I don't know if that's not true. Uh, Jeremy Hoffman, a perfect representation of this podcast is when Nate introduced the topic of the universe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they mentioned he was nominated for the critics choice award.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, I don't think I'm getting respect that I deserve for my Critics' Choice Award.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any award. Any award. I probably got it. In the running at least. In the running. I should be at least. Yea, that's my bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Be congratulated on the Golden Globes were announced today. So I should be, congratulations. Thank you. They don't do stand up comedy, but if they did, I'm sure we would have won it. So I will just put, I probably would have won it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Same people. Guys won't get out of the way. Steven Searcy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I left, left out, I let out an audible groan when I saw this week's topic considering the guys had their minds blown by stoppage time and soccer the week before. Why not try to talk about everything ever created?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought he was talking about like cups and stuff. Which we could do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Universe and how pencils were made. How do we get from the universe to pencils? That's what's crazy. You think about that? They talk about that in Notre Dame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They go, well you got the universe, and then I can write on a pen. On a paper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's crazy. And we go, wow. Wow. And then that's it. Well, it's too much to think about. I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they, I think about that a lot, like it is crazy, you're like, we go from the, you know, the universe being created to us to then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I pricked my finger, like I bit, I bit my tongue and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The universe was created and now I'm here biting my tongue. Just how the, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's also in the mix of every, you know. It's part of the universe. It's not the biggest problem, but it's a problem. Biting your tongue is a problem of the universe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wouldn't be, if listed probably, if they said what can we do with the universe and problems of the universe, biting your tongue I think would be at the bottom, it would be listed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then they would be like, we got other stuff, like hunger and stuff like that. Uh, type two diabetes we'd like to get rid of. Robert Vinny Lombardi. Ooh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One of my faves loved watching the trainwreck of Nate, Aaron, Baller, and Mick struggle discussing the vastness of our universe. I lost it when Nate said he wished they would just guess when it came to the Big Bang Theory. Theory is literally the definition of a guess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then when Mick compared Elon Musk to God, I almost spit out my coffee. Keep up the great work, gents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's actually my first joke I ever came up with. Educated guess is so educated. Why is it a guess? First thing ever wrote down for Stand Up Comedy. That got me to here. To writing the pen on this table in this podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That'll be my last, when you hear that, when you hear that joke as a closer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know that I'm done with my stand up career. That's how I'm gonna end it out. Goodbye folks!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Robert Vinnie Lombardi. I mean, is that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but what if he's related to Lombardi?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a good chance. There's a great chance of that. Maybe it's him. Angie Wilkinson. Wilkinson. She's probably related to a lot of people. The Wilkinson family. Say what have they done for us, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great episode. Bless Nate's heart. Trying to talk about the universe. Also Aaron's self control. Not always correct him. Is to be commended. She was very nice though. Wilkinson. Sorry Angie. Uh, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You didn't even know what you're talking about. I have no idea what I'm talking about. See, that's my problem is you educated people think you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've been thinking about that a lot. Like I don't, I'm just not educated in, uh, I don't know. Yeah, it's like the big words thing I said. Y'all use just big words so we can't be in the conversation. Even though we should be allowed to be. And you should have to use words that are not as big. Uh huh. Yeah, that's what I think y'all do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There we have it. People use big words. It feels in comedy sometimes. It feels like it doesn't fit what we're doing. Like you're trying to make, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're trying to be funny. And so sometimes if someone uses a big word, it's like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know why that's, that should be the saying. That's way better. That's way better. Lipstick on a pig. That's ridiculous. When you're getting a cow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting a rooster or something, keep going, I don't know. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we could put a bracelet on a coconut, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Taylor Lavelle, Nate was totally right about the sun being eight light minutes away. Light second is the distance light goes in a second light year a year and so on. There you go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because y'all don't get into the nit and gritty in Notre Dame. Y'all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, don't let them question it. And so here's, you know, so you just keep saying the same thing over and over, but in big words and then they walk away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, whenever you ask, how can they know that? The answer is almost always math.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just because you made that understand does not mean it's not real. It's real. It's science and not just someone's opinion. Still a huge fan even though this part bugs me a lot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if that's, if everyone's not the same, then you could be completely off. Yeah, they're making some dangerous assumptions. An estimation. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it's still, it's someone's opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's like, he's like, I put in the work that his opinion would be, y'all didn't look it up. I at least am trying. Right. It's an educated opinion. And then so you go, all right, man, well, I should listen to his opinion because I'm not going to bother with it. So that's true. So Laura's right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should be like, it's okay. Yeah. Unless I want to get into it. Right. So if I look at one star in my circle, put a hand and go, there's five stars in there. And then I go, so there's probably...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Dave Josie, if time travel exists in the future, then technically it would exist now. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, saying it would be exist now, but I mean, how do they get back? You got to trust that they can get back. You don't want to come here and get stuck. I think you would get stuck. You would go back to the time and then be. Oh, me personally? Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but then you gotta find, oh yeaah, you would just, you would go back to living that time. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah, you definitely, I mean, you would definitely go talk to yourself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, yeaah, yeaah, yeaah. Get ahead of this. Peeps.com. Uh, you would definitely talk to yourself. Like if, you know, they tell you not to talk to yourself, but I mean, I think you would have a hard time not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd maybe go, let's sit on, you had the same row of seats, but maybe just in the sun part, you go, yeah, I know this sounds crazy, but the sun sets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not quite doing it. You're not rubbing it in. Uh huh. Uh, yeaah. I saw some people took some pictures with you. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I know, but I'm saying everybody that wants a picture with you, none of them seem to be up there. Yeah, I don't think we have, I don't think, uh, our listeners are in the upper deck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think our co-hosts are, but I don't think our, I think our listeners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, will someone please explain to Nate that there's a huge difference between stating UFOs exist versus stating that aliens are flying around in space. He's still claiming aliens are here now as if the government declared the existence of little green men. How has no one pointed this out yet? Give him the breakdown. Barnaby.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They wouldn't tell us. Oh, I'm not. Oh, cause I'm saying that that's what they are saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so Matt McCurry, is that Laura? Is that like, is that her other name?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just, uh, that badia, but that, you know, I think they're still flying around. I mean, then you wouldn't have a conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Matt, we'd have no conversation, Matt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they're here. Well, they're not technically here. Then let's move on, Matt. And let's go to the next thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bryce L.K. It may be the findings of one scientist, but until a whole lot of other scientists do similar tests and experiments and find similar results, it doesn't mean anything. Now they say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is kind of a wonky way to talk about most of these topics. Some people think is probably more accurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just saying stuff I've heard in conversation just in life. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's where I get, like there's no, when I say, you know, you say they for a lot of like, well they are talking, like I, there's nothing behind it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm just saying it to get to the thing I want to talk about. Uh, but if we got, yeah, I don't use words correctly, everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like some people are- Just learning that. Well, I mean, I think they, they're like, no, no, he's saying it wrong. You're like, yeah, dude, I don't know. I didn't go to school. He said tear sharer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I could get these right, I would begin so much, let me get to the now they say and some people think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dave Bryan. I'm watching the Universal episode for the second time and this is bugging me enough to have to write to you. Our sun does have a name. It's Sol. S-O-L. That's why we call it a solar system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nowadays, planetarian systems are referred to as star systems, not solar systems, because our sun is the only one called soul.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So really, we are the only solar system. And to get ahead of the next question, our moon has a name also, it's Luna, as in Luna, lunar eclipse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think you're buying something. I'm not buying with yourself. How about that Dave? No one calls it soul. Dave does, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if Dave, what if this is coming from the sun? And he, he thought, well, let me make up a name, Dave Bryan. And he's like, that's great. And the sun is like, I would like to be called soul now. And so we should respect the sun's, the sun doesn't want to be called sun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason, the reason toilet water flows in the opposite direction in Australia is because the coriolis. Coriolis? Coriolis. I just kind of went with sounds at the end of that. Coriolis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the rest of it just, by the time we got to the end of it, I think y'all were like, I don't know, I'm even here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The reason toilet water flows in the opposite direction in Australia is because of the Coriolis. Is that it? Uh, effect. What does Coriolis mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But y'all in college, y'all have like a whole day talking about choreolists. Like do they ever go...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's what Coriolis means or do they just use it and you're supposed to know what it means already? Like when do you learn Coriolis? Junior High.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they said Coriolis, and then you just remember it for the rest of your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you look it up. So you actually go look up that word. Oh yea, there's a glossary right in the back. So I didn't do that. You didn't do that. I don't think I've ever looked at a glossary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never knew you had to. I just assumed, well, that's a word I'm not supposed to know. That's what I thought. I think the books gave me, if I knew the word, I go, all right, I should know that word. And if I don't know it, then I go, they don't want me to know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think I've ever had a, I've never walked anywhere with a dictionary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I got Brian reading on the other side and they just hear, it might be the findings of one scientist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I don't think we get stuff because of our accent. That's why...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean I always like, cause I don't, when you're down here in the south, you only got your buddies that you can ask to read these other lines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So mine's always, I had Michael Clay, I think, read one. He's like, well, and then I'm over there. Well, we better not go over there then. Like, I mean, I, it's just not, they don't, yeah, I think they're distracted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that hurt us. Yeaah. You know what you did.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brent McCoy, we see the Big Dipper and the Little Dipper in the summer, then Oriens, Belt, and- Oriens. Oriens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oriens. I bet he, I bet he would want Orion. Yeah, you're right. He's in space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he would go, I'm Oregon. I mean, I'm literally my belt's in space. I'm standing in outer space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then Orion's belt. I think that's wrong. I think I'm going to say Orion. Then Orion's belt in the winter. Australia is the opposite. They still see the Big Dipper and Orion's belt just as that opposite times of the year because of the rotation of the earth around the sun and the different hemispheres. I don't think I did sun stuff in school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we have the same space. We thought they have a different outer space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like we wanted to go down there. So we should go down there opposite if we want to see a different outer space. Or we still see that outer space.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if we go out right now and look at it, we're looking at a whole, we won't see the big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Oh, we see Australian songs. Do we call them and let them know everything's good?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His Oriens felt good. He goes, yeah, it's doing good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have Orion's belt down here. I go, yeah, we have Orion's. A little more important.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many free trial subscriptions end up costing you hundreds if not thousands of dollars?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long after forgetting to cancel. Fight back against subscriptions with Truebill. Truebill is the new app that helps you identify and stop paying for subscriptions you do not need, want, or simply forgot about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On average, people save up to $720 a year with True Bill. That's a ton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think people do this. I mean, I'd do it. You'd do it. You'd do it. You have no idea you're subscribed to Steve.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because companies make subscriptions hard to cancel. They do do that. TrueBill makes it incredible, incredibly simple. Just link your accounts and TrueBill will cancel your unwanted subscriptions in one tap. And your TrueBill concierge is there when you need them to cancel unwanted subscriptions. So you do not have to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Truebill found a subscription that Laura had signed up for and, uh, and so did I. So we were paying two times monthly. Uh, oh, that's good. Yeaah. They helped us but we were both paying for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It has over two million users and say it helps save them over a hundred million dollars. That's crazy. Just a hundred million dollars of just money that everybody combined. We could all be putting that together and buying a spaceship to go see Orion's belt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like Jennifer B who says, with your help our family has saved $587 a year on unnecessary subscriptions. I really did not understand how True Bill could help me until we decided to save for a very large home purchase and they were short $587.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I made that part up, but I would assume, but that's, you look at how to cut costs, that's like an easy, this is an easy way to just not pay for stuff.

[Assistant] So, yeah, we did Universe, two episodes of Universe. I wonder if people, you know, the second one comes out this week, I guess. So it's not out. I like it because people are like, man, they did one. And you're like, well, there's the second one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just trying to make you laugh. That's all we want to do. I, of course, I know nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we're just trying to have a topic to talk about and try to make jokes. And, uh, even though we're listed in educational podcasts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are educational. Learn something. Yea, for sure. You learned today it's Orion and not Orion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I learned a lot. It's spelled O-R-I-O-N. Why would it not be ORION?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, cause y'all are a bunch of doofuses that don't know how to talk about the galaxy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh man, I went too far down. I like to, I like to cross my legs underneath it. So I'm trying to, I gotta get the right amount. Did I go, this could be good. And I'm probably in the same spot I was in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I just think they got it wrong. The Oriens Belt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was, yeah. My sister bought me Men in Black. They were telling the story like on Christmas one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, how did, you know, I was so 10 years older. I was 18. She was eight or nine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, she bought, or she didn't buy it, like, they got, she was giving me, as my Christmas present, Men in Black, the movie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like it, cause it's screaming men in black. Uh, yeah, cause Abigail got it to me when she was little. It was like, you're so, there's so much stuff when you're eight, like you're, why would I ever say I hate that? I don't even care about movies that much. And you're like, why would I have this stance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On minimum to go, well, that's a dumb move. Like I don't even, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, she told me already what it was. Maybe that was her fault. Maybe Abigail shouldn't have said anything. It was, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was just, you think back about when you're 18, you're just, you're just so, you're, you're, you can be mean, you can be, you say, and everybody's like that. And you're just, and then as older you get, again, you just look and you go, what, what would I, why would I ever care?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a million years about me, you just go, yeah, yeah, I like it. Or I don't. You have no opinion on it. But, uh, last time I talked to him. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when you have a sister that's yeaah, 10 years younger, you, you say a lot of, some of it is to be funny. That was funny to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, you know, but now she works with us. So there'll be a lot more of that where that came from. Cause now she's old enough. So now I can say, I might tell her what I really think about men in black. I might do it today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I like the British office. I, but I, I don't, I take that stuff always wrong. When someone says they like the British office, I always take it like, you, you like the regular one too. You're just trying to say something that- Trying to sound smart. You're trying to sound smart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it goes back to when, like, you're younger. And I take it like that though. So if someone says it, I'm like, I don't think you really care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, he does a great job. Steve Carell. Like, it's, he's so funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, so then that's how they find out about it, and they're like, well I like the British one first, and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, at least be either be honest with me and say you watched it in live as it was airing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or tell me the truth and you found out about it afterwards and you're like, the British still so funny. Because the British are so funny. I like the regular office over the British office. There's more episodes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, and it's not like, oh, you remind me of him. It's like your regular every, when you wake up in the morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just that. You're dumb. And I'm not, and I am. I'm smart in my other ways.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but I don't want to say it. I think I am. I just think I am and I'm not. I don't know if I am.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They go, I don't, what if you're not anything like, I'm going to have diabetes. They go, you might as well have all of them. That's what they're going to tell me. Am I dyslexic? Just tell people you're a little bit of everything. You gotta.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I slow, but it's cause I slow down. Yeah. If I slow down and like, really look at what I'm saying. Yeah. But I do the, yeah. But I get long, alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, it was just a, it's an amazing show. That's what I mean. Like that's why I liked it. Like that's why, and if someone still goes, no, I still like the British one. You're like, well, you're being ridiculous. Look, I don't think the office ended gracefully. It ended badly, but, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're like, come on dude, like it's, it's, it's unreal. It's, it's un, there's not a better show. Like it's so funny, it's so good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every character, they just knocked it out of the park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy, they're all still watching these shows that are older. I mean, that's like, I don't know how these people don't figure this out. In, in all these networks and streamings, like they, they go like, you know, I mean, The Office, the way they're shooting that show kinda changed everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which was a big deal. But it's like, I, I never understand how like some of these, all of these, the most, 10 most viewed likes, I guess it's the licensed shows, but I think they do better than...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do better on Netflix, you know, people are just, it's funny, it's like, I mean Netflix is starting to, that's what Netflix is doing though, Netflix is starting to figure out to make these shows, because I mean, if these networks don't figure this out, uh, because they're still making good shows,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's not all about, I mean, it's like, stuff's gotta be, the office, it couldn't have cost that much to shoot. No. Like it's, and it's, it would hold up to be, I think you're gonna have as much fun enjoyment of watching that Billion Dollars of the Lord of the Rings versus the office, you're gonna watch it, enjoy them both.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like, it's just, it's about the jokes, it's like you know the characters, you're not surprised by anything, it's not like you're having to follow along. People get tired of like, you gotta think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all day, every day is like your phone's going off. Everybody's technically the busiest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People are busier than they would have been in the 50s and 60s because that would have been, you just went to work and then you went home and there wasn't that much to watch on TV. Your phone never rang. Like, you know, maybe talk to the neighbors, but it's very simple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean you gotta think like during an office hour of like an old job in the 60s, you talk to that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that could be like a real big company could be like, I talked to eight people today and you're like, I've talked to 40 by noon. Like that's a lot. And I do it and it never lets up text. It never lets up social media. Like it never, you're talking to, you have a hundred conversations going on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a hundred different scenarios. So it's like when you go back to watch like an office or something, like Lord of the Rings is like, all right, we spent all this money.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I guess I gotta pay attention if I wanna really enjoy it and then you're like, I don't, I don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll get out of the mood of not wat- like I won't want to watch The Office. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and you're just kind of like, I don't know, I just feel like, you know, right now I'm going through all these, I'd rather just watch an old movie, uh, than some stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you feel like you get the money back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How do they not, how does one of them not leave and go or text you, you have phones then. No one texted and said, Hey man, are you cool?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until I left, I would, there's a little more than, what's up man, where'd you go? Like are they just, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's probably a little more of like, hey, I'm not going to, I'm going to go this. I'm just not, you just said, I'm not filming this right now. I'm going to go. So you at least said that. I gave them, yeah, I gave them, yeah, they got it. Okay. I just like to hear the whole story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a good thing to realize when you're not in the mood. Uh, so I love Narcos, like I always love that. And I haven't started this season yet, just cause I know I haven't, like I love it. And I tried to watch the first episode and I was excited, but then I'm like, I was just too busy and too


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wasn't going to be able to, like, focus and I was like, well I want to watch this and I don't want to, like, not like it. Because I'm just too, like, I'm not in this space. So, uh, I haven't watched it yet. Don't force it. I'm not. Yeah, I'm not, I'm still, but I for some reason can pay attention to these old movies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if you don't know them that well? Yea, I don't know any of them. I didn't know any of Angels Fall and London is Fall and they're changing my life. I mean, I'm watching them and being like, you know, I see it. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just think they're, they were just on, they were just nailing it. They were just, Olympus is falling. It's about, or some of it's like, some of it's like the government can be bad and like all this stuff or like it's some stuff like that where you're like, they're just on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're just like, yeah, they're just like, yeah, they're on like a point where you're like, oh wow, that's making good points. I don't know. Some of it is just, I don't, not saying they all do, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ricky Gervais is likeable when he's mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Steve Carell's not. And so that's just, that's just like, there's no, I don't think there's even an acting thing in that. It's like Ricky Gervais is, the character he was is kind of, you see him in Stand Up, it's like that kind of thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you, he was in, in, he was a loser. They're both losers. But his loser-ness was like, he was trying to be cool, but you were like, oh, there's a sweet guy under there. And he's just trying to, he's got nearing or something. And you're like, he's trying to do all this kind of stuff. And Steve Carell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is, he's trying to be something he's not. And that works with Richard Gervais and Steve Carell, you're like, you need to have the suit on and just be, just be dumb, you know, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he has heart. Like his is, he's, you know, like again, the June.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the Pam episode with the, the, uh, the business school with art. And he goes, that's beautiful. Like he's a simple minded, but he's very happy for the person and he sees. And so it's like, you're, you're doing the same thing. Their likableness is just coming from a different place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeaah. I mean, cause that's a big deal if they just showed him ripped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's, uh, it's shot like British. Like it feels like British, like, you know, and yeah, it should be shot differently. You gotta mix it up and do something different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I mean, you could see it. Uh, Bob Odenkirk could have done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was, I mean, I don't, and like, you know, you'd done it and you would just, like, he's about the only one. Even when they did it, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's just so, he was great in it. When he, when they had him, when he was in the office, uh, he was funny. But Steve Carell was. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were on the right track, basically, of everybody they got. It's funny to go, like, was Seth Rogen not huge at that point? I thought he was, but maybe not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he's probably on the verge. It's funny to think like who they got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, what's his face? Uh, bomb, uh, bomb guard or Brian bomb garden. Yeah. Yeah. And, uh, it's funny, but they do go with him. I didn't know him from other, was he in other stuff before? But maybe you would have, but I mean, they actually did a good job of like, you know, you don't go after whoever you don't go after the flashy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, like, I'm not saying he's not flashy, but it's, but it's like Seth Rogen or something or, you know, but Eric, I guess was not, cause this was before Modern Family.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If your audition, if he's high up, uh, in the audition process, then he's, you're in front of, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but like, so I'm saying, you know, it's like when you think of auditions, so when you do an audition,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like when you do them some at the beginning, like no one, like the casting, some casting person's there. Sometimes it's not even that main casting person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The higher you get, which I imagine John Krasinski was probably getting like, you know, this dude's about to get something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so the higher they get when they come in, it's a big deal. Like they get, some of them won't audition unless they're made just for my pilot. I know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, uh, Katie, Katie Hazelton, who ended up playing my wife when she, I didn't read with her when she first came in. Cause I was like, I thought of it as like, I don't even know if I'm good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I didn't want to ruin, I was so scared that I would ruin their, I don't want, you know, the network to think that they're, you know, like, well, this girl's not good. And it's like, she's not good because I'm terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then I had a little bit of fear of, like, what if they look at me and they go, well, god, this guy's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was like, there's people that are, she was one of the hotter names. So, uh, there's, there's a list of, I mean, there's, it's not a huge list, but you, you can get a list of people, but there's a smaller list of like, look, these are the ones these networks want. These networks want these people in these shows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so Kate, uh, uh, Katie Azleson was, she was one of the.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause I mean she could, she was at the point of going, she's not offer only, but she's a- What's that mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She was close though, to be honest. Like she, you know, she still, but if she came in, it was like, hey, she needs to read with me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you know, and like she's high up on the, we need to tell her a real answer. It's not, when you're newer, where I was when I auditioned, like you go do it, you would have to go to a bunch more. So Krasinski, I'm sure Greg Daniels probably wasn't there. Like everybody would have been in there because they're, they're getting to the point of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll audition once for Krasinski on a something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, he was in the room. It was for a Bud Light, I think it was a Bud Light commercial. And, uh, he was like producing it. It was like the first thing that he was like kind of producing. So it was like a commercial, it was like a funny commercial. I mean, the office has already been on and all this stuff. Uh, I was writing my show with, uh, Halstead Sullivan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at the time he wrote, uh, The Office, uh, and then he, so I was, I go into audition for it and I remember I had him, he was laughing so hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wasn't just the fit for that. So we, uh, I like, I remember he was dying laughing. I was like, dude, I might get it. Like he was losing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, but then I ended up seeing the commercial and I was like, yeah, I just didn't fit in that commercial. And it was, I think it came out. It was maybe a Bud Light commercial. Maybe you can see John Krasinski.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because he was like, he was really funny. Uh, maybe it's-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super Bowl commercial maybe. That's 15 minutes. Yeaah. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's, uh, so they, uh, but anyway, so I do that audition, right? And like that was the one, like, uh, when you would do these auditions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like I think I was always a person that everybody liked, but I'm not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, but I remember my car got broken into that day. I was, and I was having to record my, I had my set list that night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that night I was recording my, uh, my hour set for Comedy Central to take my hour, the full time magic special. So I was having to record it so I could send it to Comedy Central so they could hear the hour special to make sure like, alright, we like it, let's do it. And.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, I think they got my lap, you know, and I, I don't care about stuff can taken. The only thing I


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, not in a, like a, I can afford, I couldn't afford any of this stuff again. I didn't have any money, but it was, I just, you know, it's like, ehm, you figure it out. And then, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Missed just some little stuff here and there and I was like trying to go through my set and I wrote it all down as quick as I can. So yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, yeaah, it was those. Adam Ray's in it. Cause Adam Ray got it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could have been one of them, and they, and they said no. But he, but he laughed a lot. That's really cool. So he was, yeaah, he was very nice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he went and he actually researched the role. See, that's where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I just don't, that's why I'd have to create my own show. Like cause it's, I just, like as an actor, that's such a different mindset. And that's a thing that you have to go do. And I just would never.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I have a hard time, uh, yeah, there's, oh, Adam, we could hear Adam's, oh, Adam's on the podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, uh, yeaah, no, they do that. I think I like doing it though, cause it's like, it's me. I don't know if I could do it imagining it's someone else. Like if you're like playing a character, I always, I just don't ever, that always seems weird to me. Like when someone plays a bad character, and they're like, this guy's a real jerk, and you're like, well it's you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what I always think when they interview the actor after, they go, yeah, well, I had to get in the mindset of just a real psycho. And you're like, yeah, but you were that person. Even though it's not, but you got in there. Like they always like, sometimes they can be, I just take stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It doesn't make sense. I take it as a way, like they think they're better than the character. And I'm like, but you're the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get like a free pass that you got to like yell all that mean stuff on TV or in a movie. This is not the office obviously, but whatever movie is like, you got to make fun of this guy and be mean about this guy. And it could be a bad person, you know, and then you're like, yeah, that wasn't me though. I'm just a really good actor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was you, but you yelled those words. I mean, that's not, that's when I would never do a southern, when they would have to do southern, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I don't think that you're like, it's the same thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're like, I don't know this guy. I don't know who you're talking about. I'm here. I don't know who's this Southern racist guy that you want me to be. Who's this character? It's the same thing. It's like, it's every Southern racist character is just like, that's what you think we're doing down here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I always took it as that. I think you think I'm that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're thinking of me. Like, you know, we wrote this part for you and it's just the most racist character of all time. And you're like, is that what you think I'm doing? They're like, no, it's just a character.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you think, but I'm Southern, so I think you're thinking about me. Like, even though you're not thinking of me, but like, we're all...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They don't even change it. They don't even change it. But it's like you're talking about my family and my friends and like my...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's all of us together. I don't, you know. Here we are, that's why I started a podcast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I say it. So you should be, I didn't try to, I didn't say it. I don't mean it though. That's what they should say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, she, that's pretty crazy that, uh, she did, you know, she was just the casting, you know. I mean, I think they all probably gonna think that now. I mean, that's crazy, dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, that's, uh, yeah, that's, uh, she did, yeah, she was awesome. I mean, that's such a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why, like, casting is, casting is everything. And for you to, I think it's hard for some shows not to go after, like, the famous person. Because you're looking at them and you're like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know when you're looking, when you're auditioning and you're like, I know who these people are. They're famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard, but it's hard to not go after no names. You have to be in the business enough to be able to be confident enough to not go after no names. If I would have ever got my show earlier.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Confident enough in your thing that you created that you go, no, I don't really need, I mean, sometimes you do need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That person, uh, but sometimes you like, I don't want a famous person. I want someone that no one really knows that would fit more with what we're trying to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Thief Girl was, you can be somewhat famous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Yeah. But before he got it, you knew him from the daily show. And so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I mean, that's what I mean, you can be, but you weren't, there's a difference between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Having a, people knowing who you are and then being a celebrity. Uh, where like every, like it's where you, everywhere you go. Like, you know, like I know, like I, it's, yeah, like it's like everybody, everybody in there just knows who you are. There's a gigantic difference.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You go see David Spade walk around, everybody knows who David Spade is. They see him and they go, I know that. Chris Rock. Chris Rock. Everybody knows who they are. And so there's, but there's a difference of,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yeah, well he was great. They're all great. You just kind of, I mean, we didn't, we got, we ended up being the- But was it because they're famous because they were the best part? They were just very, very good together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kurt Woodsmith and Deborah Joerup. Uh, and I mean, they're bringing that back on Netflix. They were just so unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's two, so why don't you just do a real rest stop? I guess it's hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. I guess you want, you gotta get really lucky. Yeaah, that is good. You gotta get really lucky, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's like you could do it and then you, but it's funny if you don't dress it up or have it, you know, put like that, it could look terrible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the very, very end. The very last steps. The real, he doesn't talk though, right? He has a few lines. He has a line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that is, that's a weird thing. Like if you don't want it to be about you, I get it. It's their time cause he's been gone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the audience is who you made the show. The audience is the reason this show is what it is. I mean, it's because of these actors, but that you, you do it for the, what the audience would want. It's not, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I mean? It's not like, I understand the sweetness of it to be like, he was so famous then. He doesn't want to come back to overshadow like all the work that they'd done. But it's kind of like, it's the work that all of you done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's the reason you get to be where you're at is because your greatness and how great you are in the writing of this show, but you only get that because that audience wants to see that. And so there's a weird line, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. It was like, that's the point is to have him come back and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not about tanking. It's, they just, you talk about like, I'm not taking ratings or just- No, I just don't think it was good. It was not good. I, I was-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I respected the show and loved the show so much that I wrote it out and watched every episode. But I was like, if I didn't have any love for the show, I would have stopped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is nothing against them, but you're like, yeah, you're as a group. It's like a band. Like when the, if one person left, you'd be like, well, I'm kind of out now. Like it's not trashing any of the other people in it. It's just being like, I was buying the whole package.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like, you know, I'm not gonna get in, you know, it's not then like, well I hope everybody let me see the other character. You know, it's like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the show. It's all about the show. It's not about one person. It's all of you've worked together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I almost didn't like it at first and then I did, then I didn't mind him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when they were going to make him the boss, I was like, I don't care about this at all. But I think they, uh, I'd rather have been.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's like, it should have been maybe Dwight and then make it just go Dwight crazy or something like, or maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I mean, maybe it's too much to wait, but. He fired a gun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like everybody's too, it's almost go back through all the people that they could have got before at the beginning and then you're like, well, you're just too famous now.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My buddy, Brent Forrester. Yeah, Brent Forrester. Brent Forrester. And so, well, cause me and him wrote something that didn't go anywhere, but Brent's a wonderful person and a great writer. And so he was, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was fun to, like, when I worked with him, he was like, oh man, that's my favorite episode. I just think it showed the heart. It had everything.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a very funny episode. It had him giving that speech of paper dying, like they go in there, he rips the book and all that stuff. And then to close it with the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I need to go back and like probably, I don't know if I've watched like Seinfeld where I think of like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every episode, like, is every storyline perfect and all this kind of stuff. But I can't remember, I think a lot of the storylines are very good in that one. And I mean, when he comes in and likes that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Painting, I mean that's just maybe my, I mean it's the sweetest moment of, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love that when he pulls that TV out. I just loved hearing how they couldn't get through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, just being, I mean, you could tell that it's, they truly loved each other and like as a cast, I would imagine. And, uh, and that stuff, that's what matters. That stuff shows in real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah. So yeah. And so like that stuff really comes off. And I think that, I think John and, uh, Krasinski and Steve Cross seem like they're very, very close. And, uh, and so it's like, I, yeah, you want to, you want to believe that that's all, you know, it's just very sweet. Did you like Scott's Tots?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but I mean when it first came out, it was the funniest thing I've ever seen. Like, it's so funny.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Scott's Tots is like such a, it's a, it's a perfect episode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like the idea of it is so funny and it's like, I think I remember loving it and then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's almost like the older I've gotten, I've been like, I can't watch this. Like it's too, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's why they had to have Stanley just laughing the whole time. Cause it was, you know, but it's, and he does such a good job, but it's so, cause it would be so funny in real life to think it's this, this guy that's done something very sweet that can't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and, and it's like, well, do you let it pay? I mean, you can't, it's paying these kids to go to college. And he's just sitting there. He has so much money because I thought I would have them.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stoppage time. And then the game just ends in a tie. Oh, see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I asked John how old he was before the show because I got excited. I thought I might have somebody that, but he's just.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think that's, uh, the Oscars announce it just like the Grammys, but oftentimes they're in Europe or something. Oh, oh, is that what it is? So it is middle of the night when they find out. That's probably what I'm thinking then. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to your point, there has been something where comics are thrown in against spoken word. Is it the specials? No.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, they were fun. I have played so bad, even by my standards. I get really nervous because I get out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've never met these guys, they all know each other. I feel like they're immediately disappointed that I'm the celebrity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my head, I think that. And then I'm so bad at golf, I feel like they just think, this guy is bringing nothing to the table. He's bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they didn't put pressure on me. They were really fun group, but I played really bad. I could just tell I was nervous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were more interested in, we had to do a silly photo, which I hate comics. I usually hate doing those and everyone thinks the comic is going to come up with something. These guys were all into it and it immediately went dirty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the woman taking the baby. She's like, can we do anything we want? And she's like, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They really got into it. And now I'm just with this group of people trying to play along and they're sticking tees at places that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I walked to my car when we were off starting, I ran into a buddy of mine from high school, I hadn't seen him in a while, and he said, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My team was Southern Stump. They dig up stumps for people. So the whole time we're out there, the guy's just looking at trees like that would be a $350 job. I mean, he's just telling us the different trees out there, what they would be. So he was really the celebrity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's my good shots and I didn't have any. A few times they'd be like, uh, make us laugh. And I'm like, watch this tee shot. And then that would make them laugh because they'd see me play. That was my go-to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I almost suggested it a couple times, but I just- Just do it. I just, yeaah. They would like it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it was just kind of a waste, like why am I doing this? And I'd always putt first so they could watch my line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So at least they can watch what your ball does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there's a podcast. Oh really? Called the Pistol Shurps Radio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe it's on Dennis Quaid after a while, if the dog kicks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I don't watch, I haven't watched it, but it's a race. It's shot on location at a grocery store, right? It's a set. Oh, it is. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I guess it's because I haven't seen it. That would be my biggest fear. I thought it was shot on location at a grocery store with like, like different cameras, not like on a set with a host.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he said he couldn't find it, uh, online. I think, I think it still came out. Yeah. Uh, but he said he couldn't find it online.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Favorite recipe or something and the secretary said, uh,

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We used to debate, not debate, but we would discuss, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who's more likely to happen? You get to the level where you could be a celebrity guest picker on game day or Vanderbilt getting good enough that they would be the place on game day. But they played on game day. They did years ago, but after that. Now. Yea, you're way ahead of Vanderbilt right now. Yea. I mean, you're going at least the right direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh really? No. It says notable Vanderbilt players or athletes and you're one of them that's listed on there. I mean, who makes the signs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Oklahoma became a state in 1907. Not too soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that's pretty crazy. There are people alive that when they were born, Oklahoma wasn't a state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's called the Sooner State because people try to sneak into Oklahoma and make land claims sooner than they were allowed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. In the movie, far and away, it's Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They were doing target practice and they got disoriented and dropped it on the town square.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well they were, they were, maybe it wasn't like the full detonated bomb, but I think they were dropping on a target to see what it would do. Their goal was to drop it on a target.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They saw the city lights and thought it was the target lights cause they were doing it in the middle of the night and they accidentally dropped it on this town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never really, the more we talk about it, the more I'm thinking bangles, like Ben goals, Ben goals.

[Assistant] It's like the reverse, like Vegas, where anything happens anytime, you know, they have their own, like, you can just show up anytime and next thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anything goes in the opposite. No, well that's the same, but it's like a step further. Anything goes in Vegas, anything goes any day in Morocco. You could just, you know, do whatever you want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's happened to me though in Vegas, where I've literally got into the wrong car.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, no, eh, I, I, we ordered an Uber and I was with my buddy Clint, who's also a little person and he's got a scooter. And so I literally get into the car. I sit in, close the door and I'm like, do you mind helping get my buddy's scooter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We ate that meal before we went on the road from that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I also think too that comics have a serious advantage that you're used to getting up there and just talking. Where a lot of actors are unbelievable but acting with a script that they work on for a while. So in that moment it's crazy and you're, you're not


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and it's like as a comic where you're like, ah, there's a bad thing that happened. Somebody's, there's a issue happening at a table in front of you. And that's a weird, you're, you're more used to the craziness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it is wild that you're nominated and it's like you're there. I mean that is such an insane accomplishment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the adrenaline there is just, it's just wild.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, this year's Grammys, they may have a nice bump, you know, Mr. Bragazzi nominated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's when my time to shine comes. Everyone out, you know, a lot of fallouts and then boom, now it's my opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so this is by far the craziest phone call I ever get in my life. I get a phone call the Friday before the Sunday Golden Globes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there was a presenter for two awards, the best actor and best supporting actor, two of the biggest awards got COVID and they asked me like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the literally 23rd hour, they've already got rehearsals, all this stuff. We want you to present these awards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Hollywood Foreign Press, they support the Easter Seals Disability Film Challenge with a grant. They asked me last minute because of this fallout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have keratosis. I don't know how many eye doctors and people with eye problems are fans of this show, but I have received 50 emails of people supporting me and a lot of people they're saying, look, it is a big deal, but don't worry about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You only really need to do something if it affects your life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, if your vision affects your life. Now I accept this thing and I can't read teleprompter. So the most important call I ever get in my life and I cannot read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm like, well I'll be at the Beverly Hilton tomorrow for the rehearsal. And I got these giant scripts and I'm starting to kind of memorize. Now, this is a tuxedo event too. And I have two tuxedos that I got from different shoots. But I brought one of the tuxedos with me to New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I'm running around, I don't have a tuxedo shirt, I don't have a tuxedo tie, I'm trying to memorize, and I'm like, oh, I get to the rehearsal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I brought, I was doing something else and so I brought like the wrong pants and the wrong shirt with me. So now I've got the wrong, I've got this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no, this is in LA, but I'm, I'm, I have to get on that Saturday morning the correct matching of a tuxedo. I don't even have this and I'm, I'm trying to memorize and I get up to the rehearsal and I show up and everybody is doing one take.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it's going great. People do teleprompter all the time to everybody that's presenting. And, and it gets to me and right before I go up, I go, you know, hey guys, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got really bad vision, so I just want, don't worry about it, everyone, you know, it's, it's huge font, you're gonna see it. And there's five cameras, they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It wasn't televised on NBC, but they still shot it this exact same way, same location, same cameras. And so I get up there and I just can't see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm now trying to see and I kind of have some memorized and I kind of can see certain things and I'm just making up other things that have nothing to do with it. I'm like, yeah. And they did come with the car and they're like, what are you talking about? They came with the car. I mean, I am just saying, and so I get through it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And everybody else is one take great. And I get, I get through on the side.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we don't do it again. And the stage managers, everybody goes, look, I understand you couldn't see it. Don't worry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We actually had Betty White as a presenter two years ago. So we created a Betty White font for the teleprompter. And so we're going to give you that. And I'm like, how great, I am literally using the font of a 98 year old woman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm still like, the writers are like, look, we don't have time to actually do it again with this Betty White font, so you should just memorize it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I stay up all night memorizing these two speeches, really tough names, including one of the nominees was Denzel Washington, actually. And I'm, I'm memorizing the speeches and you know, you're just, you're just in that moment where you're like, ah, man, I hope this goes good. You're praying. You really just want it to go good. And I show up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the actual awards, right before it, a writer comes up to me and goes, hey, just wanna let you know, we changed the script, don't worry, it's on the teleprompter. And I'm like, but I can't read the teleprompter!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're, you know, they're doing what they're told to do. It's like the army when you're on a production. So they're like, this is the script. Don't worry. You're going to read it. And I'm like, but I can't. And he's already gone. You know, they're, they're in, they're in television, like producing mode, you know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I actually could read, you know, parts of the Betty White font.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four sentences on the thing. It's like one word and I have things memorized and luckily like I was able to kind of improv a little and bring energy and, and it was one of those magical things where it really went great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I, I knew in the moment where I was like, wow, everything is, is, is landing. I'm throwing little jokes. I presented an award to Will Smith.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I gotta thank my guardian angel, Betty White, because it was like that moment where you're like, thank god she was 98 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it just was, I had never honestly read Teleprompter 2, so when I was in the rehearsal trying to read it and I can't read it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just started going on complete different talking points and they were like, what are you even talking about? This isn't even in the script.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Will Smith won, so I present, and when I saw it was Will Smith. First of all, some of the nominees have very difficult names.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and I was having a hard time pronouncing certain names, and Will Smith was one of those names, and I was like, I hope to God it is Will Smith!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And when I saw it, I just was also just like, knowing that I got through everything I had to get through and it went good. Yeah. Instead of like, it was new things and, you know, and it went good and I saw Will Smith and I was like, it's Will Smith!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just, it was that moment where you just had the adrenaline and just felt so happy. And I was, cause there was a time earlier that day where I was like, I think I'm going to quit show business. Like I'm like thinking like, you just start to get down that alley where you're like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everything's going wrong. I can't see it and I'm trying to memorize, but it's like a lot of stuff and you're memorizing it within a, not even a day. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then literally within the hour before, they completely changed everything that's you've been memorizing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They do it all the time. Every, everything like that, it happens. And so you gotta be like, you know, it happens on, luckily I have that experience from TV and working on TV and they change stuff too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you gotta, you know, you gotta still do it. So, I mean, I was very honored that I got that opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And having been in the business for 20 years, it's like, if I didn't have a ton of experience, it could have gone so bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I literally called, I called Nate when I got this opportunity like an hour after and I was like, look, pardon me. I'm like, this is an amazing opportunity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Probably the most exciting phone call I've ever got. And if it goes great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is an amazing thing that I'll have for the rest of my life that no one can take away. But if it goes bad, I'll be able to go on the Nate Land podcast and talk about all this vision advice that I didn't listen to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were, it, it was, it was like, uh, you know, all different organizations that get funding from the Hollywood Foreign Press gives out a ton of grants and they give out a grant to the Easter Seals Disability Film Challenge, which we just opened up registration. It's happening this year, April 5th to April 10th.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You make a film that has somebody with a disability in front of or behind the camera. This year's genre is superhero. Go to disabilityfilmchallenge.com to learn more. But everybody that was a presenter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was a recipient of a grant or involved in nonprofit, you know, and it was, it was a year about showing all the great work that the Hollywood Foreign Press does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so there, there wasn't really anybody that was, there was like Jamie Lee Curtis and Schwarzenegger, but they, they also, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did videos that, so it was really more about the Hollywood Foreign Press and organizations they support.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nessie, it was, it was exactly as you would see, literally the exact same location, it's in.
