Holiday Spectacular 2023

2023-12-22 00:50:37

Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment. What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.

2Speaker 2
00:00.00 – 00:03.14

He's an objects man.

?Unknown Speaker
00:06.02 – 00:08.60

He's an objects man.

1Speaker 1
00:11.40 – 00:13.76

He's an objects man.

2Speaker 2
00:16.60 – 00:18.88

Welcome to Christmas. Merry Christmas.

?Unknown Speaker
00:19.18 – 00:19.64

Merry Christmas.

2Speaker 2
00:21.10 – 00:23.10

Your toys are out.

1Speaker 1
00:23.64 – 00:24.68

Time to find them.

2Speaker 2
00:25.16 – 00:26.36

Ho, ho, ho.

00:27.88 – 00:29.04

Oh, wow.

1Speaker 1
00:29.04 – 00:31.22

Quick update before we get into Christmas.

2Speaker 2
00:31.48 – 00:31.64

Okay.

1Speaker 1
00:32.26 – 00:35.04

Feedback from, I guess, the last episode.

2Speaker 2
00:35.40 – 00:35.72

Uh-huh.

1Speaker 1
00:36.46 – 00:42.42

Middle part is a hit. Comments are full of praise for your middle part. Wow. Yes, resounding.

2Speaker 2
00:42.82 – 00:46.10

Maybe it was that one pic. It was a good pic of the part.

1Speaker 1
00:46.12 – 00:49.14

Oh, well, no, I think America has voted.

3Speaker 3
00:49.50 – 00:50.88

Yeah, pics only do so much.

1Speaker 1
00:51.54 – 00:56.14

Yeah, I mean, they don't even tell the whole story. I mean, they're worth a thousand words.

2Speaker 2
00:56.36 – 00:57.38

Yeah, that's what they say.

1Speaker 1
00:57.38 – 01:01.86

But additionally, people really like Hermium Permium.

2Speaker 2
01:02.14 – 01:06.84

I mean, duh. Who couldn't like him? He's so nice.

1Speaker 1
01:06.86 – 01:19.74

Someone even wrote, I didn't previously like the robot, but now that I've heard the robot interact with Hermium Permium, I do like the robot. And then I read a really funny one. Let's see, Ice Cream grabbed it for us.

2Speaker 2
01:20.00 – 01:30.20

It's also really funny because Hermium, Permium, I kind of tried to correct you in it, but I stopped myself, but it's Hermian, Permian.

1Speaker 1
01:30.76 – 01:41.00

I know, my name is Hermian Permium. What are you saying? That my parents got it wrong? Because they didn't. Hermian Permium, named after my Uncle Albert.

01:41.00 – 01:44.20

Hermian Permium. Did you ever hear him?

2Speaker 2
01:44.38 – 01:44.70

Okay.

1Speaker 1
01:45.00 – 01:51.22

He invented paper airplanes. You ever saw a paper airplane? They sail through the sky.

2Speaker 2
01:51.62 – 01:52.96

How old is he?

1Speaker 1
01:53.96 – 01:57.34

I'd rather not say my age. I'm vain that way.

2Speaker 2
01:57.40 – 01:58.68

But I'm a safe person.

1Speaker 1
01:59.06 – 02:06.30

Let's just say I was not born in the 2000s. Is that sufficient to whet your appetite and slake your lust?

2Speaker 2
02:06.72 – 02:08.70

No, I don't want him to say that.

1Speaker 1
02:08.82 – 02:12.12

Slake your lust? Well, that's a literary term. That's not a pervy term.

2Speaker 2
02:12.18 – 02:14.48

I know, but he just would never say lust.

1Speaker 1
02:15.04 – 02:27.50

You're probably right. Okay, here's the thing I found. Please don't refrain from doing, I guess, alien or robot voice. It's like when Howard does impressions of his dad. You just want him to do it for like an hour.

02:27.64 – 02:30.76

And Monica, please continue to be annoyed by it. That's fun, too.

02:36.60 – 02:44.42

I like when it goes both ways. I'm reading it and I'm like, oh, yes, this is the encouragement I needed. And then I'm like, oh, and then they also enjoy that. Monica's annoyed.

2Speaker 2
02:45.04 – 02:48.88

Best case scenario. Oh, man. Oh, boy.

1Speaker 1
02:49.26 – 02:55.54

You just flew in from Georgia and did you see anything in the sky? I did.

2Speaker 2
02:55.68 – 02:57.78

I passed a little red guy.

?Unknown Speaker
02:58.12 – 02:58.82

You did?

2Speaker 2
02:59.34 – 03:05.62

Yeah. He's just doing his practice route. You have to do some dry runs before the big day.

1Speaker 1
03:05.72 – 03:08.80

You got to do dry runs before you can do the wet run with the snow.

2Speaker 2
03:08.94 – 03:10.60

That's right. That's right. That's right.

1Speaker 1
03:11.02 – 03:12.28

How was your travels?

2Speaker 2
03:12.68 – 03:23.18

It was fine early. I went home for a very quick trip. It's Friday and I left Wednesday morning to go to Atlanta.

1Speaker 1
03:23.68 – 03:25.78

Right. Really speedy round trip.

2Speaker 2
03:25.88 – 03:27.32

Yeah, I came back this morning.

1Speaker 1
03:27.96 – 03:29.78

You must have woken up very, very early.

2Speaker 2
03:30.02 – 03:30.64

I did.

1Speaker 1
03:30.70 – 03:31.38

What time?

2Speaker 2
03:31.62 – 03:34.74

I woke up at 545 East Coast time.

1Speaker 1
03:34.76 – 03:37.40

Which is 245 Pacific Standard Time.

2Speaker 2
03:37.52 – 03:41.42

Correct. And so I went home to visit. Ew, what happened?

1Speaker 1
03:41.76 – 03:44.70

Oh, nothing. Let's not talk about it.

2Speaker 2
03:45.06 – 03:46.12

Is there gunk in there?

1Speaker 1
03:46.16 – 03:48.76

Well, of course there is. Ew. Oh.

2Speaker 2
03:49.50 – 03:58.44

One time on sync the other day, I thought there was – I got a little nervous. There was some dip in my cup. Okay. So I rinsed it out. Yeah.

03:58.60 – 03:59.70

Just in case.

1Speaker 1
03:59.80 – 04:00.82

Yeah, there wasn't, though.

2Speaker 2
04:01.30 – 04:06.18

I mean, there was debris that looked like dip. It was probably tea.

1Speaker 1
04:06.66 – 04:13.90

Good news, I have scheduled a deep clean for this joint. Awesome. While we're gone this week. Oh, I hope – During the break. Oh, no.

2Speaker 2
04:14.24 – 04:17.14

Oh, I got a – the quilt is in there. I need to bring it in.

1Speaker 1
04:17.38 – 04:19.74

Oh, the quilt that was from Flightless.

2Speaker 2
04:19.86 – 04:21.76

Yeah. Yeah. It's really nice.

1Speaker 1
04:21.78 – 04:27.04

Is it gorgy? Boy, we are out of linear space here.

2Speaker 2
04:27.04 – 04:27.96

I think we can drape it on the couch.

1Speaker 1
04:28.24 – 04:34.68

Oh, okay. That would be great. Or maybe, on that slant over there. Is there enough real estate in there to pin it to the wall?

2Speaker 2
04:34.88 – 04:38.32

But then it's cloth, so then would poop particles get in the cloth?

1Speaker 1
04:38.78 – 04:39.48

Presumably, yeah.

2Speaker 2
04:39.48 – 04:40.54

That's my worry.

1Speaker 1
04:41.56 – 04:44.04

Yeah. Assuming someone pooties in there.

2Speaker 2
04:44.18 – 04:45.96

You. Oh, okay.

1Speaker 1
04:46.94 – 04:51.54

I wanted to say I don't, but I do when I'm up here writing all day. Yeah, sometimes I have to go.

2Speaker 2
04:51.54 – 04:52.74

I've done it.

1Speaker 1
04:52.76 – 04:54.24

You have? Yeah. When?

2Speaker 2
04:55.10 – 04:55.90

September 14th.

1Speaker 1
04:55.92 – 04:57.58

No, but what was the circumstance?

2Speaker 2
04:57.92 – 05:02.66

You were – Like, if I knew I was going to be here by myself for hours, what just happened?

1Speaker 1
05:02.66 – 05:05.44

Yeah. Well, that's the part that's interesting. Yeah.

2Speaker 2
05:06.08 – 05:11.64

If I recorded and then I was going to stay and edit, I've been in here lots of times. Yeah.

3Speaker 3
05:11.82 – 05:13.92

Do you lock the door when you do that? Yeah, of course.

2Speaker 2
05:14.08 – 05:15.24

Yeah. Of course, just in case.

1Speaker 1
05:15.26 – 05:17.98

And do you open the window out to the street? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

3Speaker 3
05:17.98 – 05:20.00

Do you light seven candles? Yeah. It's like a seance.

2Speaker 2
05:20.28 – 05:27.06

And I do matches. I do it all, just in case. To be clear, I've only done it a couple times, probably twice.

1Speaker 1
05:27.38 – 05:28.78

I'm happy. Rob, have you shit in here?

3Speaker 3
05:29.24 – 05:29.94

No, I don't think so.

1Speaker 1
05:30.32 – 05:32.02

Anyways, that's not what the holidays are about.

2Speaker 2
05:32.02 – 05:35.76

Well, I was saying an important part of my week.

1Speaker 1
05:35.96 – 05:36.52

Oh, tell me.

2Speaker 2
05:36.64 – 05:37.48

Well, I was home.

1Speaker 1
05:37.66 – 05:37.98

Yes.

2Speaker 2
05:38.16 – 05:52.10

And I had to go visit my grandpa because I was going to try to wait until I was going home for the holidays, but then it felt like I needed to go. So I did, and I missed two recordings, which was sad.

1Speaker 1
05:52.30 – 05:52.74

Yes.

2Speaker 2
05:52.96 – 05:57.50

And I really don't like doing that, but I had to.

1Speaker 1
05:57.66 – 05:58.60

Yes, of course.

2Speaker 2
05:59.72 – 06:01.34

And it was sad.

1Speaker 1
06:01.34 – 06:02.14

It's sad.

2Speaker 2
06:02.44 – 06:02.70

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
06:03.10 – 06:05.92

Yeah. But you got to give some sweet granddaddy kisses?

2Speaker 2
06:06.34 – 06:08.78

Yeah, I did. Yeah. I did.

1Speaker 1
06:09.00 – 06:10.34

Did you have any fun with your mom?

2Speaker 2
06:10.72 – 06:12.08

Yeah, we watched Bad Surgeon.

1Speaker 1
06:12.50 – 06:15.04

Uh-huh. I loved it. Did you love it?

2Speaker 2
06:15.38 – 06:16.82

Yeah, it's just so-.

1Speaker 1
06:17.00 – 06:25.08

It's almost incomprehensible that he was the head of a department at the most prestigious hospital in the world. Was it in Copenhagen, in Denmark?

2Speaker 2
06:25.12 – 06:25.60

No, it was in Sweden.

1Speaker 1
06:25.60 – 06:26.82

Sweden? In Stockholm.

2Speaker 2
06:27.12 – 06:32.84

Yeah, the place where they give out the Nobel Prize for medicine. Like, the truly the most prestigious.

1Speaker 1
06:33.18 – 06:44.66

Yes, there's so many elements of it worth examining. One just being the power of status. If you're there and you have that title, people are going to trust you to do anything.

2Speaker 2
06:44.68 – 06:45.26

I know.

1Speaker 1
06:45.48 – 06:46.42

Myself included.

2Speaker 2
06:46.80 – 06:47.36

Me too.

1Speaker 1
06:47.50 – 07:07.54

Yeah, it scared me about how willy-nilly. And then I was even thinking, right, because, as we know, I had a botched toe surgery. And then here's what I thought. Like, I just had that botched toe surgery, and I thought, well, that was probably a one-off. I didn't go on a message board and find out if- Like, it is conceivable that every surgery that that podiatrist or whatever the fuck- Sure.

07:08.46 – 07:16.14

Surgical podiatrist is called, maybe everyone has a half a toe. now. Maybe. You know, I just assume it's my fault that he cut off too much of my toe.

2Speaker 2
07:16.32 – 07:20.02

Yeah, without giving away too much, but it's also obvious based on the title.

1Speaker 1
07:20.24 – 07:21.40

Yeah, he's not a good surgeon.

2Speaker 2
07:21.40 – 07:27.70

No, this surgeon conned a bunch of people and killed a bunch of people. Yeah.

1Speaker 1
07:28.04 – 07:30.56

Everyone that he did the procedure on. Yes, died.

2Speaker 2
07:30.56 – 07:33.90

Yes. Except one. Well, they didn't even- Because they had it taken out.

1Speaker 1
07:34.02 – 07:40.94

So we can't do any spoilers. Fuck it, because I want to talk about, then. the third episode is insane. Here's what I was thinking. Yeah.

07:41.50 – 07:44.54

How on earth was this guy juggling-.

2Speaker 2
07:44.64 – 07:45.48

That's what I said.

1Speaker 1
07:45.58 – 07:48.46

Three families and surgeries all over the world.

2Speaker 2
07:48.50 – 07:49.66

These are not going to do spoilers.

1Speaker 1
07:49.66 – 07:56.38

Yeah, spoiler. How was he doing that? I don't know. How do you even juggle three families?

2Speaker 2
07:56.66 – 07:57.30

I don't know.

1Speaker 1
07:57.68 – 07:58.82

Holy smokes.

2Speaker 2
07:58.98 – 08:19.76

It's really crazy. But yeah, he killed all these people at this fancy hospital. And I also, sorry Unifiles, which is me, but there was a series that came out this year, the last installment of Serial, but wasn't Sarah Koenig. Yeah, okay. And it was about fertility.

08:19.76 – 08:28.74

It was this crazy story of egg freezing where all these women, they were under twilight anesthesia during it via Yale.

1Speaker 1
08:29.08 – 08:30.12

Oh, wow. Okay.

2Speaker 2
08:30.48 – 08:37.18

And a lot of women during the procedure was saying, I can feel it. I can feel this.

1Speaker 1
08:37.42 – 08:40.94

I remember this. Oh, and it's because one of the nurses was stealing the fentanyl.

2Speaker 2
08:40.94 – 08:41.68

Fentanyl, yes.

1Speaker 1
08:41.82 – 08:42.66

Oh, yeah.

2Speaker 2
08:42.66 – 08:44.30

Yeah, and that's at Yale.

1Speaker 1
08:44.88 – 08:45.66

Mm-hmm.

2Speaker 2
08:45.66 – 08:52.46

Again, like who would ever, you think you're getting the best care possible. Yes. It's so scary.

1Speaker 1
08:52.74 – 09:03.50

I got called by somebody who was struggling with their wife, and she was a nurse, and they had found a ton of injectable opiates. She had siphoned fentanyl. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

2Speaker 2
09:03.56 – 09:07.02

It's so sad, but it's also-.

1Speaker 1
09:07.38 – 09:08.96

It's also Merry Christmas.

2Speaker 2
09:09.92 – 09:22.70

It's a blue Christmas. I think I was feeling sort of, like while I was there, kind of a little numb. Uh-huh. And then last night I got sad.

1Speaker 1
09:22.90 – 09:23.20

Yeah.

2Speaker 2
09:23.56 – 09:24.64

So now I'm sad.

1Speaker 1
09:25.16 – 09:26.40

Yeah, I'm sorry, buddy.

2Speaker 2
09:26.80 – 09:29.00

That's okay. It's just sad.

1Speaker 1
09:29.38 – 09:40.82

Yeah, I think it takes, for me, it has always taken some time. It's just like you're walking through it all. You're doing all the steps. Yeah. You're there, and then it's oddly cheery sometimes.

09:40.94 – 09:48.44

You're interacting with your relatives. But yeah, like the whole experience with Barton, which took three and a half days, four days.

2Speaker 2
09:48.54 – 09:48.86

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
09:49.12 – 09:57.72

My stepfather, who died while I was visiting, I got on the airplane to fly. I flew home, picked up Delta.

2Speaker 2
09:57.82 – 09:58.50

I know, I remember.

1Speaker 1
09:58.50 – 10:14.48

Took her immediately to Detroit, and on the flight to Detroit, I was like, oh, Lord, Barton is dead, and I was a part of it, and this just happened. And it really hit me all at once, all the feelings that I hadn't had for the five days while I was participating.

2Speaker 2
10:15.06 – 10:16.62

Yeah, it's a lot.

1Speaker 1
10:16.94 – 10:17.74

Merry Christmas.

2Speaker 2
10:19.90 – 10:20.96

It's the truth.

1Speaker 1
10:21.30 – 10:21.70

Yeah.

2Speaker 2
10:22.00 – 10:37.98

My dad told me when he was driving me to the airport that, and I forgot this story, but before I was born, a few years before I was born, like right after my dad and mom got married, my grandpa got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

1Speaker 1
10:38.90 – 10:39.36

No way!

2Speaker 2
10:39.56 – 10:41.98

Yes, and they said he had six months to live.

1Speaker 1
10:42.30 – 10:45.30

Not your dad's dad, but your mother's, your dad's dad.

2Speaker 2
10:45.38 – 10:48.72

No, my mom's dad. That's currently still here. Yes. Whoa!

1Speaker 1
10:49.08 – 10:51.12

Yes. You're not supposed to survive pancreatic cancer.

2Speaker 2
10:51.14 – 11:09.64

Well, so he, yeah, so he got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. They told him he had six months to live. So then they were making all these arrangements, basically. And then they ended up, a couple weeks later, going to Mayo Clinic, speaking of a world-renowned hospital. Yeah.

11:09.96 – 11:19.24

They went to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion, and they were there for days. And then at the end they said, we don't know what you have, but you don't have pancreatic cancer.

1Speaker 1
11:19.54 – 11:30.54

Oh, my Lord. Yeah. Wow. So that's a mixed bag, because that's almost a blessing to happen to somebody. To think you're going to die for a month and then find out you're not, I feel like you could approach life differently afterwards.

2Speaker 2
11:30.56 – 11:41.02

Well, yeah. And then my, so my dad was saying on the drive, he was like, I kind of look at this a little, because my dad was with them at the Mayo Clinic. Only him. Okay. Him and my grandma.

11:41.02 – 11:45.30

What a good son-in-law. I know. What a joke. So early, too, one year in.

1Speaker 1
11:45.36 – 11:48.24

Wow. I know. He jumped in the deep end.

2Speaker 2
11:48.32 – 11:48.78

He did.

1Speaker 1
11:48.94 – 11:51.36

Did your grandpa know your dad before your mom did?

2Speaker 2
11:52.18 – 11:56.74

No. Okay. He worked in some way with my dad's sister.

1Speaker 1
11:57.04 – 11:57.38

Okay.

2Speaker 2
11:57.92 – 11:59.38

And then they were like.

1Speaker 1
11:59.44 – 12:00.04

Aunt Kylie.

2Speaker 2
12:00.48 – 12:01.96

Aunt Lily. Aunt Lily.

1Speaker 1
12:02.14 – 12:02.44

Yeah.

2Speaker 2
12:03.74 – 12:08.30

And they then got in cahoots to put these two together. Right.

1Speaker 1
12:08.58 – 12:12.24

This bombshell and this genius. Let's get these two together and see what happens.

2Speaker 2
12:12.54 – 12:20.72

Anyway, so my dad, he was there. And for him, he's like, I look at it, kind of different. Like, he was supposed to die and he got another 40 years.

1Speaker 1
12:21.04 – 12:24.60

Yeah. Like, again, a huge success story.

2Speaker 2
12:24.66 – 12:36.82

It's a very glass, half full way to look at it, because he never had pancreatic cancer. Right. Right. But it is a nice way to look at it. And it made me think, wow, if that had happened, I would have never met him.

1Speaker 1
12:37.56 – 12:37.96

Right.

2Speaker 2
12:38.46 – 12:38.80

And thank God.

1Speaker 1
12:38.80 – 12:41.04

And he's, like the most special person to you. Yeah.

2Speaker 2
12:41.22 – 12:42.16

Thank God.

1Speaker 1
12:42.44 – 12:46.70

Yeah. That's the one frustration I have about when people do die.

2Speaker 2
12:47.04 – 12:49.70

I have so many frustrations about it.

1Speaker 1
12:49.78 – 12:50.50

Okay, tell me.

2Speaker 2
12:51.10 – 12:53.28

It's just frustrating that people have to die.

1Speaker 1
12:53.82 – 13:05.76

Yeah, it's heartbreaking and tragic. But the thing that's frustrating is that, especially when someone lives to 90 plus years old. Yeah. They die and they have grandchildren who come and kiss them.

2Speaker 2
13:05.86 – 13:06.22

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
13:06.62 – 13:16.82

Like, it's such a success story. I know it is. It's such a, like, wonderful trip on planet Earth. It is, it is. So in some part, like some part of me, the intellectual side, not the emotional side.

13:17.16 – 13:24.10

And I'm sure some cultures are this way. It's a real celebration of a very successful, non-tragic ride through.

2Speaker 2
13:24.34 – 13:32.48

I know. It's a flip flop. You can come in and out of that, of what a beautiful life. Yeah. And it's still just so sad.

13:32.56 – 13:38.68

Not for him. Right. It's sad for the rest of us. And it's, I'm so sad for my grandma.

1Speaker 1
13:39.06 – 13:41.86

Yeah. Yeah. Well, bring her along to Lubbies. Yeah.

2Speaker 2
13:41.98 – 13:44.28

Well, my mom might want some personal time.

1Speaker 1
13:44.80 – 13:45.96

With her or me? With you.

2Speaker 2
13:46.46 – 13:46.80

Okay.

1Speaker 1
13:47.02 – 13:49.36

At Lubbies. Okay. Well, they give me multiple trips to Lubbies.

2Speaker 2
13:51.46 – 13:57.10

Yeah. She loves the cafeteria too. We used to go to Ryan's all the time. My grandma and grandpa used to take me to Ryan's.

1Speaker 1
13:57.12 – 14:00.96

That's what I'm going to send her, as I told you. I'm going to send her cafeteria food.

2Speaker 2
14:01.34 – 14:02.18

Oh, yeah. Next time.

14:03.72 – 14:09.38

Anyway. But yeah, so it's happy and it's sad, and life is so dramatic.

1Speaker 1
14:09.84 – 14:11.24

It is. It is.

2Speaker 2
14:11.58 – 14:12.78

But it's, I'm grateful.

1Speaker 1
14:13.12 – 14:14.80

You got to spend your whole childhood with him.

2Speaker 2
14:14.88 – 14:16.38

I know. I can't believe it.

1Speaker 1
14:16.42 – 14:17.82

Yeah. You got so lucky.

2Speaker 2
14:18.04 – 14:19.54

Some people don't get that. No.

1Speaker 1
14:20.10 – 14:22.26

Most people's grandparents are so-so.

2Speaker 2
14:22.72 – 14:25.76

I know. I got some really, a really good pair.

1Speaker 1
14:26.08 – 14:33.18

Same. Papa Bob was. like my dad. I think I spent more time with my Papa Bob throughout my childhood. So I was there the whole summer every year.

14:33.48 – 14:39.56

Not even. I think. I certainly spent more time with my Papa Bob. My Papa Bob would take me to Cedar Point. He would take me to ski.

2Speaker 2
14:39.88 – 14:41.64

Was your brother close with him too? Yes.

1Speaker 1
14:41.94 – 14:48.02

That's nice. Yeah, the two of us were always over there. Oh, man. Yeah. I'd say every other weekend my dad had us, he dropped us off there.

14:48.42 – 14:50.54

Yeah. So half the weekends and then almost the whole summer.

2Speaker 2
14:51.06 – 14:56.74

Yeah, and you said that you were realizing that you were my age when you were doing this for your dad.

1Speaker 1
14:56.86 – 14:57.24

Yeah.

2Speaker 2
14:57.66 – 14:59.50

Which is so upsetting.

1Speaker 1
15:00.10 – 15:01.60

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2Speaker 2
15:01.60 – 15:05.74

Because I still feel like a 10-year-old. Of course. Like with my dad.

1Speaker 1
15:05.96 – 15:18.56

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what put it into perspective for me. is you're dealing with your grandpa dying. And I was like, oh, I gave the eulogy at Papa Bob's funeral when I was 19 years old or 20.. I had just moved to California.

15:19.22 – 15:21.78

And then did my dad at 36 or so.

2Speaker 2
15:21.78 – 15:23.58

That's not that much longer after.

1Speaker 1
15:24.88 – 15:27.20

No, that's 16 years or something.

2Speaker 2
15:27.20 – 15:31.26

Yeah. So there must be a much bigger gap in between a grandparent and a parent.

1Speaker 1
15:31.44 – 15:31.84

Absolutely.

2Speaker 2
15:32.66 – 15:32.78

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
15:32.96 – 15:34.32

Yeah, 62 is insanely.

2Speaker 2
15:35.22 – 15:35.70

Way too young.

1Speaker 1
15:35.72 – 15:46.04

It's crazy, though, even at your age. Yeah. When I was your age, 62 felt a lot different than it does at my current age, for obvious reasons. Right. That's 14 years from now.

2Speaker 2
15:46.16 – 15:46.56

Stop.

1Speaker 1
15:46.90 – 15:52.58

Yes. I know. Yes, but when I was your age, it was 25 years, or whatever the fuck.

2Speaker 2
15:52.80 – 15:56.22

But it's still, to me, it still feels so young.

1Speaker 1
15:56.22 – 15:58.38

Well, you have some old ass friends like me.

2Speaker 2
15:58.56 – 15:59.50

That's probably why.

1Speaker 1
15:59.54 – 16:00.04

Yeah. And Eric.

2Speaker 2
16:00.20 – 16:15.60

Yeah, Eric. I was listening to, Elizabeth has had her own little 10 episode podcast about death and dying, called The One Sure Thing, because her mom died when she was 19. Mm-hmm. And then, within a year, her dad died.

1Speaker 1
16:15.74 – 16:16.62

Aye yi yi.

2Speaker 2
16:16.92 – 16:17.20

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
16:17.56 – 16:18.94

Were they older parents?

2Speaker 2
16:19.14 – 16:24.94

No. No. Her mom had cancer and then her dad had a heart attack. Aye yi yi. On their anniversary.

16:24.94 – 16:28.04

Mm-hmm. Isn't that, yeah. But anyway, when she was-.

1Speaker 1
16:28.04 – 16:31.02

Well, the interview you missed, his dad died when he was 51..

2Speaker 2
16:31.68 – 16:33.34

Yeah, it's insane.

1Speaker 1
16:33.36 – 16:34.18

A heart attack, yeah.

2Speaker 2
16:34.46 – 16:48.46

Yeah, but yeah, so she was talking about this and she was saying her dad was like a 53 or 54.. I was like, that's Eric's, almost Eric's age. Yeah, yeah. Ugh, it's like, no. I know.

16:49.00 – 16:55.62

This feels not, and I already have too much fear around death and I was just getting over it and now it's back.

1Speaker 1
16:56.20 – 16:56.68

Yeah.

2Speaker 2
16:57.24 – 16:58.86

So I'm kind of mad at him for that.

1Speaker 1
16:59.16 – 17:05.38

Yeah, although it's a 90 plus year old man and maybe a 103 year old man.

2Speaker 2
17:05.72 – 17:07.28

Yeah, we don't really know his age.

1Speaker 1
17:07.30 – 17:09.72

Right. That's up in the air.

2Speaker 2
17:10.38 – 17:27.06

Because they forged their birth, they used to way back when, changed their birth certificates so that they could have longer years to work and stuff. I don't know, it was a whole thing. Right. So he's older than his birth certificate says, so we don't really know. We think he's around 94, but also-.

1Speaker 1
17:27.16 – 17:28.50

I like to think he's a 101..

2Speaker 2
17:28.62 – 17:31.82

Me too, a centurion. Yes. Me too, I want that also.

1Speaker 1
17:32.00 – 17:33.70

Elite, elite, that's like upper 1%.

2Speaker 2
17:33.70 – 17:43.70

I know. So it's not my fear around death with him, it's now that is triggering my fear of death for everyone in my life.

1Speaker 1
17:43.78 – 17:44.94

Yeah. That's how it ends.

2Speaker 2
17:45.22 – 17:54.38

Yeah, and like all these people, you could die and my dad could die and my mom could die, and the floors are so slippery at my parents' house. Oh, they are? Yes.

1Speaker 1
17:55.44 – 17:56.54

Why? Because it's tile?

2Speaker 2
17:56.92 – 17:59.36

No, it's wood, but it's so slippery there.

1Speaker 1
17:59.46 – 18:00.26

Did you hit the deck?

2Speaker 2
18:00.52 – 18:07.10

No, but I like kind of ice skate around on my socks. Oh, that's fun. I know, but not for these people who-.

1Speaker 1
18:07.20 – 18:08.08

These older folks.

2Speaker 2
18:08.08 – 18:09.28

I don't like that.

1Speaker 1
18:09.56 – 18:11.92

Why don't you put them in a ranch with sticky floors?

2Speaker 2
18:11.92 – 18:13.56

They don't want to move. They like it.

3Speaker 3
18:13.66 – 18:14.96

Get them carpet for Christmas.

2Speaker 2
18:15.26 – 18:19.80

That's disgusting. I have to tell them they have to wear shoes.

1Speaker 1
18:19.80 – 18:22.96

Right. Even when they sleep, in case they get up and go potty.

2Speaker 2
18:22.98 – 18:28.26

Well, my mom did fall the other day trying to get in her bed in the middle of the night. Nermy. Because she was sick.

1Speaker 1
18:28.76 – 18:30.06

And then- Yeah, she was sick.

2Speaker 2
18:30.30 – 18:33.58

It's pretty sick. And she fell down. She had an organ. She thinks it's because she-.

?Unknown Speaker
18:34.40 – 18:35.08

Ew!

1Speaker 1
18:35.72 – 18:37.16

Gas! I was thinking of the runner.

2Speaker 2
18:38.30 – 18:42.36

Stop. Don't make me talk about your mom's vagina. Go ahead.

1Speaker 1
18:42.60 – 18:43.96

Oh, she'll tell you before-.

2Speaker 2
18:44.20 – 18:45.76

You don't want to hear about it.

1Speaker 1
18:45.78 – 18:54.18

No, but I've grown up hearing about it. Anytime. my mother had a yeast infection, I was like the first person who heard about it. But you don't like that. No, who would?

2Speaker 2
18:54.36 – 19:00.40

Exactly! So, stop. Ew. They're so gross.

1Speaker 1
19:01.64 – 19:03.28

Who, parents? Yes.

2Speaker 2
19:04.76 – 19:07.08

God. Isn't it weird that you are one?

1Speaker 1
19:07.38 – 19:15.72

Well, I talked about it the other day. In the same way that I'm sad that Larry Trilling's children can't meet Larry Trilling, the normal man, at all.

2Speaker 2
19:15.80 – 19:16.10

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
19:16.10 – 19:26.16

Yeah, I think. But I actually think, and I could be delusional. I'm probably delusional. I think my kids think I'm pretty cool. I'm noticing more and more Lincoln.

19:26.98 – 19:38.18

Like, every night in bed, it's, tell me another story. Like, I want a story. Tell me a story about this. Tell me a story about that. And the fact that I read to her from my memoir and she heard my writing, she's like, that turned on something for her.

19:38.34 – 19:45.52

That's nice. She's like, oh, you're- Yeah, so currently she's like seeing me as someone. that's kind of interesting, which I'm loving.

2Speaker 2
19:45.52 – 19:54.74

Okay. I think she, of course, will see you as someone interesting and she's glad that you're her dad. Right. But she's not going to think you're sexy.

1Speaker 1
19:55.04 – 19:59.04

Well, God, no. We don't- Haven't all done something very wrong.

2Speaker 2
19:59.28 – 20:09.38

I know, but that's- But the point, like, when we're talking about gross stuff with our parents, like, you're going to be gross. Like, that's gross to her. That will be gross. Absolutely.

1Speaker 1
20:09.64 – 20:15.68

Anything sexual. But not her mother. So I'm talking about Nermy. Her mother, too. Now, I've been very delicate.

20:15.84 – 20:23.54

Hold on, though. I've been very delicate, to not talk about Ashok falling down and accidentally quivering.

2Speaker 2
20:23.56 – 20:26.32

You're not doing a very good job, not talking about it.

1Speaker 1
20:26.78 – 20:30.50

I'm doing a pretty good job. Because you just talked about it. But no, I didn't say anything specific. Anyways.

2Speaker 2
20:30.68 – 20:50.08

It's still gross. They don't want to know about Kristen's orgasms and still, like, I don't even want to. She's too maternal for me to even think about that. Oh, gross. Anywho, all to say, I'm worried about everyone's going to die.

20:50.66 – 20:53.80

No one in this room, everyone knock on wood right now.

20:56.86 – 21:06.68

No one's allowed to die in this room until you're 80 years old or over. That was always my prayer. I would list all the people and say-.

1Speaker 1
21:06.80 – 21:08.10

And 80 was the year?

2Speaker 2
21:08.10 – 21:08.42

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
21:08.42 – 21:09.86

So you got 20 extra years.

2Speaker 2
21:09.86 – 21:13.76

Well, yeah, if we're going to say he's a centurion. Yeah, he is.

1Speaker 1
21:14.34 – 21:16.68

If you have a great son, you just say, here lies a centurion.

2Speaker 2
21:17.84 – 21:20.10

No, he was a very honest man. He wouldn't have liked that.

1Speaker 1
21:20.38 – 21:24.42

You already said he lied about his age, so it's like, to what degree? Well, I don't think he did.

2Speaker 2
21:24.48 – 21:26.16

I think his mom or dad did.

3Speaker 3
21:26.30 – 21:27.52

Just put maybe in parentheses.

2Speaker 2
21:28.28 – 21:29.08

Yeah, hopefully.

1Speaker 1
21:29.64 – 21:35.50

Possibly a centurion lies here. A great grandpa and a distributor of Granddaddy's Kisses.

2Speaker 2
21:36.58 – 21:49.44

I did feel a little guilty because he is so old that he could have had a great grandkid. Like, I could have given him that. I'm old enough to have done that.

1Speaker 1
21:49.56 – 21:50.54

I wonder when you're-.

2Speaker 2
21:50.80 – 21:51.08

I feel sad.

1Speaker 1
21:51.14 – 22:01.70

Well, hold on. I wonder when your enthusiasm runs out, though. Like, I'll be excited to meet my grandkids. I have no goal of meeting grandkids. Well, first of all, it's probably mathematically impossible.

22:01.90 – 22:05.24

Unless- No. There are advances in science, and I live to 125..

2Speaker 2
22:06.00 – 22:08.66

No. Lincoln could get pregnant at 14..

1Speaker 1
22:10.00 – 22:15.58

We're really slinging some mud. And then your mother might have an orgasm when she hears this.

2Speaker 2
22:15.62 – 22:15.86

Stop!

?Unknown Speaker
22:16.50 – 22:17.56

Can you be, gentle?

1Speaker 1
22:17.66 – 22:20.66

Well, you're telling me that Lincoln was a child at 14..

2Speaker 2
22:20.66 – 22:25.50

You said mathematically it's impossible, and I'm telling you, it's not mathematically impossible. You're right.

1Speaker 1
22:25.68 – 22:28.52

In 28 years, I could have a great grandchild, yes.

2Speaker 2
22:30.44 – 22:35.34

I will say he cared a lot about professional success. A lot.

1Speaker 1
22:35.50 – 22:39.20

Yeah, absolutely. This is way better than a grandkid. Way better.

2Speaker 2
22:39.22 – 22:41.22

I do think he would have been happier with this than that.

1Speaker 1
22:41.40 – 22:41.54

Yes.

2Speaker 2
22:41.88 – 22:47.60

I wish he could have known that. He didn't? Mm-mm. That's a sad, sad case.

1Speaker 1
22:47.62 – 22:53.36

I have the same thing. I mean, I would fucking kill to spend the day with him right now.

2Speaker 2
22:53.58 – 22:54.02

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
22:54.24 – 22:57.44

And go, look at these little toeheads. I have. These little shepherds.

2Speaker 2
22:57.44 – 23:00.88

See, you want to show them the babies, not the career.

1Speaker 1
23:01.28 – 23:15.78

I have a, this is totally off topic, and I hope it's not disrespectful, but I've been monitoring the gray in the sides of my hair. Oh. Because I shave the sides of my hair once a month, I guess. Yeah. Matthew Collins does it.

23:15.84 – 23:17.20

Yes. Celebrity stylist to the stars.

2Speaker 2
23:17.36 – 23:19.76

Shout out. Co-host of the F1 podcast.

1Speaker 1
23:20.20 – 23:36.06

Yes. And so every time it grows out, I've got virtually a month more of grain, right? So every time it grows out, it's a little shock, like, oh, we're at a higher percentage. Oh, really? Yeah, and it seems like, if I'm tracking this, we're going to be just dead silver, I don't know, maybe by the end of 2024..

2Speaker 2
23:36.54 – 23:39.20

You think so? I don't know. No, the top of your head isn't gray.

1Speaker 1
23:39.20 – 23:42.54

Not the top, the sides. The sides are like, they're fucking silver.

2Speaker 2
23:42.54 – 23:44.44

Why do you think the sides and not the top?

1Speaker 1
23:44.44 – 23:55.98

I don't know. I don't know if that's standard. I don't, I was looking and I was like, I've always considered myself such a shepherd of Kai. Like the prototypical shepherd. Yeah.

23:56.16 – 24:05.36

None of the shepherds have ever had gray hair. My Papa Bob had zero gray hair. My dad had zero gray hair. My fucking brother, to my knowledge, has zero gray hair. Yes.

24:05.48 – 24:14.28

So this morning, it's not just the gray hair. I was coming to terms with the fact that the story that I'm 100% shepherd was horse shit.

2Speaker 2
24:14.72 – 24:16.80

You're just now understanding genetics?

1Speaker 1
24:17.16 – 24:32.64

No, I understand genetics. But what happened in this case was the 23 alleles that my father supplied were all dominant. Okay? Okay. Everything that came from the LeBeau family was recessive.

24:32.64 – 24:38.44

Okay. Obviously, that's not true. Sure. But in my story, it's like, yeah, I got half LeBeau me, but all of those were recessive.

2Speaker 2
24:38.48 – 24:48.00

You know what's weird? Tell me. It's weird that that's your story because you love your mom so much. The most. And I'm so, I'm really, it almost feels like-.

1Speaker 1
24:48.26 – 24:48.98

Disrespectful?

2Speaker 2
24:49.54 – 24:52.44

Patriarchal or masculine, toxic masculinity.

1Speaker 1
24:52.48 – 25:06.14

No, no, it's not that. It's because I grew up in my Papa Bob's house, and he was my hero, and I wanted to be him and a shepherd. Yeah, I do get- Her dad and I had, I think I've already talked about it on here. We had a very complicated relationship. Yeah.

25:06.20 – 25:11.26

We started out as best friends, and then he said something really mean about my father on a camping trip. Yeah. And then I just didn't really like him.

2Speaker 2
25:11.58 – 25:11.90

Unacceptable.

1Speaker 1
25:12.14 – 25:24.06

And then he died really young. And then my Grandma Midge had raised already six kids. Yeah. So she would do her grandmotherly duties in that she would host us. I lived there when I detasseled corn that summer.

25:24.26 – 25:26.24

Yeah. But she wasn't like pumped.

2Speaker 2
25:27.14 – 25:28.36

Yeah. She was tired.

1Speaker 1
25:28.78 – 25:37.74

She was fucking tired. I told you. my Grandma Yolis literally asked in fifth grade if I wanted to- At the end of the summer, asked if I wanted to move in.

2Speaker 2
25:37.92 – 25:38.88

Yeah, and you said-.

1Speaker 1
25:38.88 – 25:42.28

And I wanted to, but I didn't want to hurt my mom's feelings.

2Speaker 2
25:42.62 – 25:44.50

Oh God, yeah, that would have killed your mom.

1Speaker 1
25:44.50 – 25:54.80

It would have killed my mom, but she kind of needed the help. It probably would have been helpful to have one less kid around. No. But my grandmother and I kind of talked a lot about it, and I would have really liked it.

2Speaker 2
25:54.88 – 25:55.76

But you would have missed your mom.

1Speaker 1
25:56.06 – 26:03.22

I would have missed her so much. But I was getting so much there. I got so much attention, and there was food there, and there was no chaos.

2Speaker 2
26:04.48 – 26:05.80

How far away was it?

1Speaker 1
26:06.06 – 26:07.62

It was like a 45 minute drive.

2Speaker 2
26:07.70 – 26:15.18

Okay, okay. Did they ever yell at your dad for not being as around? for you? I mean, that's their kid.

1Speaker 1
26:15.80 – 26:27.30

Listen, they were bummed a lot with him, which was a really sad thing, ultimately. Anywho. I'm having like an identity crisis where I realize, like, well, I'm clearly not all Shepard because I have all this gray hair.

2Speaker 2
26:27.54 – 26:29.06

Yeah, how does it feel?

1Speaker 1
26:29.32 – 26:36.02

I mean, I'm fine with the aesthetic. I love it. I'm not like bummed that I have the gray hair, or I'd be dying it, I guess.

2Speaker 2
26:36.12 – 26:36.80

Right, exactly.

1Speaker 1
26:36.94 – 26:49.54

I used to get highlights, you know. Right. All through my acting career, I'd always get a little dose of blonde in there to give some dimension to this kind of, I don't even know what fucking color my hair is. That was another thing I was coming to terms with this morning in the gym. I was looking at my hair.

26:49.60 – 26:56.32

I'm like, what color is it? It's not even brown, though. It's like a fucking gray or something that would leak out of a lead pipe or something.

2Speaker 2
26:57.20 – 26:57.70

It's brown.

1Speaker 1
26:58.64 – 27:07.50

It looks like water that would come out of an old pipe. That's the color of my hair. But, so, I kind of welcome the gray, because it's kind of a blast of color. It's a pop. It's pop.

27:07.58 – 27:10.12

It's layers. Anywho.

2Speaker 2
27:10.34 – 27:13.20

I like gray hair on everyone.

1Speaker 1
27:14.64 – 27:14.86

Oh.

27:17.54 – 27:22.48

Stay tuned for more Armchair Expert, if you dare.

27:30.40 – 27:32.00

Should we exchange gifts?

2Speaker 2
27:32.50 – 27:33.78

Yeah, we should. Okay.

1Speaker 1
27:34.16 – 27:36.58

Who should go first? Youngest to oldest? Yeah.

2Speaker 2
27:36.86 – 27:37.56

Rob should go first.

1Speaker 1
27:37.58 – 27:44.16

Yeah, that's always the best. So, one, two, three, four of those are yours, Rob, and one of those is yours, Moni. Moni's is the red.

2Speaker 2
27:44.98 – 27:45.56

Mine's that?

1Speaker 1
27:45.62 – 27:45.80

Yep.

2Speaker 2
27:45.90 – 27:47.38

Okay, so these are all Rob's.

1Speaker 1
27:47.40 – 27:50.04

Yep. Wait, are you giving them mine? Yeah.

2Speaker 2
27:50.20 – 27:51.20

Do they need to go together?

1Speaker 1
27:52.38 – 27:57.32

You can give them that. Yeah, that'll be a mystery. That'll be basically a clue to the rest of the presents.

2Speaker 2
28:01.62 – 28:02.74

Is it toothpaste?

3Speaker 3
28:03.94 – 28:04.60

Power cell.

28:06.36 – 28:08.26

Auto battery identification.

2Speaker 2
28:08.70 – 28:10.18

Ooh, auto batteries?

3Speaker 3
28:10.80 – 28:12.68

I don't know much about-.

2Speaker 2
28:12.88 – 28:14.02

What that is. Okay.

1Speaker 1
28:14.02 – 28:17.80

You don't know about lipo batteries? Those are lipos.

3Speaker 3
28:17.96 – 28:18.26

Nope.

1Speaker 1
28:18.88 – 28:19.32

Okay.

2Speaker 2
28:19.54 – 28:21.56

Do you want to tell us about lipos?

1Speaker 1
28:21.82 – 28:27.78

No. Well, it's the most powerful, dense kind of battery. It's what's in an electric car.

2Speaker 2
28:28.16 – 28:28.60

Wow.

1Speaker 1
28:28.80 – 28:29.76

You have Nikan.

2Speaker 2
28:29.76 – 28:31.70

Oh, my God, he got you an electric car.

1Speaker 1
28:31.84 – 28:38.72

Do you want me to walk you through all the battery types? You got lead. That's in your car to start the car. Then you got NiCab. Those are above that.

28:38.84 – 28:45.04

Okay. And then the lipo's, the greatest technology. Oh, wow. A lot of power. A lot of power within it.

3Speaker 3
28:45.14 – 28:48.38

We all just do one at a time. That's what my family usually does.

2Speaker 2
28:48.70 – 28:49.10

Oh.

1Speaker 1
28:49.42 – 28:53.78

I'm open to that. I'll take turns. You have so many. You have so many. You might have to go through a couple.

3Speaker 3
28:53.78 – 28:54.98

So I've got one, two, three, four.

1Speaker 1
28:54.98 – 29:04.26

I think you should open one more of mine before you get to Mani's. Okay, sure. Don't you, Mani? Yeah. So that top one there above the red will do.

29:05.20 – 29:07.74

Okay. It's going to confuse you even more. More battery.

2Speaker 2
29:07.92 – 29:13.08

Oh, I love tricks. Oh my God. Also, we haven't even talked about the fact that Rob's cookies are here.

1Speaker 1
29:13.22 – 29:15.50

Oh, my God. Cookies and Rice Krispies.

2Speaker 2
29:16.30 – 29:17.26

Can I have one now?

1Speaker 1
29:17.28 – 29:18.96

Yes, of course. This is our holiday celebration.

3Speaker 3
29:18.96 – 29:19.78

A battery charger.

1Speaker 1
29:20.36 – 29:22.76

Yeah, so more confusion. Yeah.

3Speaker 3
29:23.00 – 29:26.60

I don't know what these batteries would be for, but I'm looking forward.

2Speaker 2
29:26.60 – 29:30.84

Rob posted on Instagram. he was making these yesterday, and I got so excited.

1Speaker 1
29:31.04 – 29:36.96

Yeah, I think someone actually I saw on Instagram. Oh my God. Someone else was aware of them, too.

2Speaker 2
29:37.06 – 29:40.96

These are my favorite cookies of all time. They're so good.

1Speaker 1
29:42.06 – 29:46.86

Smile real big, as you're about to eat one. Let's see that middle part.

2Speaker 2
29:48.06 – 29:48.60

Oh, it's all mine.

1Speaker 1
29:48.60 – 29:51.72

Oh, it's great. I got it. Wait, what? I got the shot. I got the shot.

29:51.92 – 29:52.70

No, no. I got it.

3Speaker 3
29:52.70 – 29:56.70

All right. Monica's turn. Okay. Yours is the white one.

2Speaker 2
29:56.98 – 29:59.72

This one? Yep. Okay. Oh, wow.

1Speaker 1
29:59.98 – 30:04.74

Oh, boy. It's a big boy. Wait, before we continue.

2Speaker 2
30:05.38 – 30:05.82

Yeah.

1Speaker 1
30:06.34 – 30:09.28

Let's have a moment of honesty. I found this year to be hard.

2Speaker 2
30:09.50 – 30:10.38

Oh, you did?

1Speaker 1
30:10.54 – 30:11.44

Yeah. Didn't you?

3Speaker 3
30:11.64 – 30:12.74

I found it hard, too.

1Speaker 1
30:12.90 – 30:14.84

Yes. Okay, great. You had said it was really hard.

2Speaker 2
30:14.86 – 30:16.94

Oh my God. This wrapping paper is a smell.

3Speaker 3
30:17.24 – 30:23.08

I love it. I was very excited that it had a scent. Smells like trees. Pine.

1Speaker 1
30:23.20 – 30:23.92

Oh, my God.

2Speaker 2
30:23.92 – 30:25.66

It smells better than my Christmas tree.

1Speaker 1
30:25.76 – 30:31.18

I can't believe. Monica's not hip to this. Aren't you the bum wrapping paper, queen? I normally am.

2Speaker 2
30:31.44 – 30:33.84

You'll have to send me this, wrapped, what it is.

1Speaker 1
30:33.84 – 30:35.78

Here, I'll give this to you. You're better at this.

2Speaker 2
30:36.42 – 30:37.40

You found it to be hard.

1Speaker 1
30:37.60 – 30:47.60

So hard, I actually reached out to Natalie, and it was a dead end. She doesn't know what to give you either. She's not great at gifts. Yeah, yeah. I was talking to me.

30:47.96 – 30:49.96

Oh, my God. I was texting with myself.

2Speaker 2
30:49.96 – 30:55.22

I almost reached out to her, too, to find out about the color of your Le Crescent, but then I pivoted.

1Speaker 1
30:55.32 – 31:00.62

Okay, and we have also a lot of people in the comments, I think it's Le. I think we also got the beginning wrong. Le Crescent. Le Crescent.

2Speaker 2
31:01.26 – 31:04.58

It's L-E, so that makes sense. Yeah, yeah. But I don't.

1Speaker 1
31:04.60 – 31:05.24

Care about this.

3Speaker 3
31:05.44 – 31:07.82

You sound a little pretentious, like trying to speak French.

2Speaker 2
31:08.00 – 31:09.38

It's like saying Neanderthal.

1Speaker 1
31:09.50 – 31:10.48

It's like saying oui, oui.

2Speaker 2
31:10.78 – 31:11.78

Oh my God, I can't believe.

1Speaker 1
31:11.78 – 31:20.30

Okay, this is smelly paper. So this is yummy, smelly paper. You should rub it in your armpits and stuff after you've opened it, so you get a nice bit of the evergreen smell in there.

?Unknown Speaker
31:21.36 – 31:22.28

Oh, wow.

1Speaker 1
31:22.96 – 31:25.56

Oh, that Pavlovian sound.

2Speaker 2
31:25.90 – 31:28.26

It's a frame. Oh my God.

1Speaker 1
31:28.26 – 31:29.94

Oh boy, what is this?

2Speaker 2
31:29.98 – 31:31.86

Something's custom framed.

?Unknown Speaker
31:32.34 – 31:35.74

I know, I know. What is it gonna be?

2Speaker 2
31:36.54 – 31:38.28

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

1Speaker 1
31:39.40 – 31:40.38

What's it say?

2Speaker 2
31:40.48 – 31:42.42

Oh my God, hold on, hold on, there's.

?Unknown Speaker
31:44.36 – 31:45.48

No, amazing.

1Speaker 1
31:46.22 – 31:50.12

Wait, wait, wait, what'd you expect? It's a Maru coffee. Oh my gosh.

2Speaker 2
31:51.00 – 31:52.76

But this is an artist.

3Speaker 3
31:53.08 – 32:05.24

It's this Australian artist, Bella McGoldrick, and she does these crazy colored pencils and she did like a series of her favorite coffee around the world, and Maru happened to be one of the.

1Speaker 1
32:05.24 – 32:06.90

It made the cut. One of the cuts.

3Speaker 3
32:07.38 – 32:07.86

Wow.

2Speaker 2
32:08.04 – 32:09.38

This is incredible.

1Speaker 1
32:10.00 – 32:10.76

And you need artwork.

2Speaker 2
32:11.04 – 32:11.70

I do, I do.

1Speaker 1
32:11.70 – 32:13.50

You're gonna have a lot of linear feet in that house.

2Speaker 2
32:13.70 – 32:24.88

You know, one of my favorite things ever is when, when you see the number at the bottom of the artwork. Oh, you love that. Like, this is two out of 10.. Right, right, right, right. Oh, my gosh, this is gorgeous.

1Speaker 1
32:25.10 – 32:27.64

Thank you, Rob. He's good at this. He's so good.

3Speaker 3
32:27.64 – 32:31.30

And that's an Australian coffee shop that's apparently great in Melbourne.

2Speaker 2
32:31.38 – 32:37.12

And we got, we're gonna go. Yeah. I'm gonna have a sip of coffee. Now we have to go. I cannot believe Maru is on there.

32:37.12 – 32:37.98

I know. It's very cool.

3Speaker 3
32:37.98 – 32:39.26

I know, when I saw that, I was like, oh, I gotta get this.

2Speaker 2
32:39.64 – 32:40.48

It's gorgeous. It's kind of 3D.

1Speaker 1
32:41.62 – 32:43.44

I can't believe. It's not a monsoor, monseer.

2Speaker 2
32:43.98 – 32:45.30

It's not a monsoor.

3Speaker 3
32:45.30 – 32:49.20

Yeah. Her drawings are insane. Like how detailed they are.

2Speaker 2
32:49.22 – 32:50.84

How do people do this?

1Speaker 1
32:51.32 – 32:51.68

Yeah.

2Speaker 2
32:51.86 – 32:56.20

It makes, I'm mad at these. Love it. Beautiful. Yay! Thank you!

1Speaker 1
32:56.22 – 33:04.94

Well, I think you should open mine first. I have terrible anxiety now because my present sucks compared to that. Okay. Now I go because I'm old. Yeah.

33:05.04 – 33:06.30

I'm the last on this stuff.

2Speaker 2
33:06.62 – 33:07.60

Who do you want?

33:09.18 – 33:09.62

Robbie's?

3Speaker 3
33:10.30 – 33:13.08

The pink one is first. Okay. There's an order.

1Speaker 1
33:13.18 – 33:13.88

There is an order.

33:16.02 – 33:19.52

Wow. Wow. Wow. And you do this wrapping yourself or you outsource it?

3Speaker 3
33:19.56 – 33:20.94

No, I did that myself. Oh my God.

1Speaker 1
33:21.54 – 33:30.10

And he got for me really cute peach, pink wrapping paper with cars on it. El coches. Yeah. Because I love.

2Speaker 2
33:30.10 – 33:31.94

Does it smell like car? Yeah.

1Speaker 1
33:32.22 – 33:34.98

It smells like petrol and burning rubber.

2Speaker 2
33:38.12 – 33:38.56

Okay.

1Speaker 1
33:40.76 – 33:43.48

Pour some. That's it. You know what this is? Uh-huh.

2Speaker 2
33:43.48 – 33:44.46

I think.

1Speaker 1
33:44.56 – 33:50.68

You guys are so much hipper than me. You know what this is? Oh my. Wobby. Wob.

33:51.92 – 33:52.42

Burberry.

33:54.00 – 33:57.88

Oh, but it's a trick. It's not burberry inside.
