I'm Don Finnelli. Welcome in. This is Mutterfly. We got three pairs of improvisers.
00:00:20.119 --> 00:00:22.261
They're all improvising a short scene.
00:00:22.609 --> 00:00:26.899
They're starting with the exact same two lines that I am messaging them right
00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:29.645
before we start recording. They can't pre-plan anything.
00:00:29.999 --> 00:00:32.899
They don't know each other's lines. They're hearing them for the first time
00:00:32.899 --> 00:00:36.039
when you are hearing them. And if you haven't yet and you don't mind,
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:38.648
please give the podcast a nice little rating on Apple or
00:00:39.118 --> 00:00:42.564
You know, wherever you're listening to this. If you want to leave a review,
00:00:42.564 --> 00:00:44.256
shit, man, that would make my day.
00:00:44.540 --> 00:00:49.742
You know, this all helps feed the starved for attention God that is the algorithm.
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:54.314
So yes, thank you in advance. All right. First up, we got some newbies to the
00:00:54.314 --> 00:00:58.797
pod, but veterans to the comedy scene. Award winners.
00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:01.218
It's Lauren Lapkus and Jeff Hiller.
00:01:01.526 --> 00:01:04.844
I've known Lapkus forever. I mean, she and my wife are besties.
00:01:04.844 --> 00:01:06.791
Our kids are friends. It's magical.
00:01:07.075 --> 00:01:11.081

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, dropping on HBO Max on July 23rd.
00:01:40.888 --> 00:01:43.844
Jeff Hiller, a longtime performer of the improvs as well.
00:01:44.264 --> 00:01:47.993
I remember watching him on the UCB stage on Herald Night many moons ago.
00:01:48.243 --> 00:01:51.174
Then I had the pleasure of doing a TV show with him for two seasons.
00:01:51.174 --> 00:01:53.822
It was called Night Cop. I don't know if people watched it. We had fun.
00:01:54.135 --> 00:01:59.429
But then he went ahead and won a damn Emmy for his role as Joel on Somebody Somewhere.
00:01:59.801 --> 00:02:04.684
I don't watch a lot of TV. I'm not going to lie. I think every show I do watch has Hiller in it.
00:02:05.284 --> 00:02:12.189
Somebody Somewhere, Pluribus, if you haven't seen that, The Magical Widow's Bay, please watch that.

00:02:44.347 --> 00:02:45.538
that shit. And Pluribus.
00:02:45.875 --> 00:02:49.797
All right, let's get to our first mutter with Lapkus and Hiller.
00:02:54.089 --> 00:02:56.437
This is a nice, quiet spot for a picnic.
00:02:57.607 --> 00:02:59.946
Barack Hussein Bobama.
00:03:02.686 --> 00:03:03.011
And I...
00:03:05.217 --> 00:03:09.317
Yeah, no, I know. Okay, are we doing this again?
00:03:09.317 --> 00:03:16.670
I'm just saying, with the 44th president, this park,
00:03:17.947 --> 00:03:27.031
where this picnic would have been really great, is now riddled with health insurance.
00:03:27.948 --> 00:03:29.515
Do you know his last name?
00:03:29.742 --> 00:03:30.822
Yes, Bobama.
00:03:33.387 --> 00:03:35.053
Okay. Jeremy?
00:03:35.529 --> 00:03:36.005
What?
00:03:36.714 --> 00:03:39.297
I really wanted to come out here and have a nice picnic with you.
00:03:39.337 --> 00:03:40.766
Me too, if it weren't for Bobama.
00:03:44.510 --> 00:03:50.959
I feel like our relationship has kind of gotten a little stagnant lately
00:03:51.690 --> 00:03:56.867
like we were look i love you i've been in love with you this has been amazing
00:03:56.867 --> 00:03:59.697
this courtship we've had it's
00:03:59.697 --> 00:04:04.798
been wonderful and then you've just you're not able to let it go you know
00:04:05.100 --> 00:04:05.837
Let what go you're
00:04:05.837 --> 00:04:10.650
Not able to let this go about Obama like you just kind of are constantly Obama
00:04:13.377 --> 00:04:14.678
So you're breaking up with me because...
00:04:14.678 --> 00:04:16.238
Banana, fana, fo, fama,
00:04:16.238 --> 00:04:20.910
Is that... You're breaking up with me because... Thanks, Bobama.
00:04:21.304 --> 00:04:23.998
Oh, my God. It's not enough.
00:04:25.217 --> 00:04:29.068
It's not... I'm not... I'm not... Okay, I don't want to break up with you.
00:04:29.068 --> 00:04:34.023
But you are right now. Is that right? And I know what a breakup is like because I've had nothing but...
00:04:36.078 --> 00:04:39.688
I was coming here, actually, to have a picnic with you. You can see I brought
00:04:39.688 --> 00:04:41.616
all this delicious stuff, okay?
00:04:42.208 --> 00:04:48.728
from the fancy little grocery boutique.
I spent like $400 on these fucking strawberries.
00:04:48.728 --> 00:04:54.738
Yeah, because you're all bougie like, like Boushbama. We'll get it.
00:04:55.589 --> 00:05:02.918
You are an elitist in your ivory tower with your spreadable cheeses.
00:05:05.045 --> 00:05:06.386
I don't know where that was going.
00:05:08.110 --> 00:05:11.430
You think I'm, you think I'm not as good as you. Is that right?
00:05:11.814 --> 00:05:13.218
That's not true, Jeremy.
00:05:13.543 --> 00:05:16.958
No, it is true. I'm not as good as you. Please don't leave me.
00:05:18.098 --> 00:05:22.969
I can't be alone without you. Don't do this. I can't be alone without you. Get up. Kiss your feet.
00:05:25.709 --> 00:05:28.758
I should take your shoes off first. That tasted like dirt.
00:05:28.758 --> 00:05:31.601
Oh, ow. Is this man bothering you? Are you okay?
00:05:31.874 --> 00:05:34.528
No, this is my boyfriend. Sorry, we're fine.
00:05:34.528 --> 00:05:37.145
Lay off, Bobama. Lay off.
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:39.084
Who?
00:05:39.293 --> 00:05:40.117
Bobama.
00:05:40.448 --> 00:05:43.298
He's trying to say Obama and he can't say it Wait,
00:05:43.298 --> 00:05:48.889
Do you think I'm talking about the President Obama? No, I'm talking about Bobama Are you not?
00:05:50.514 --> 00:05:51.611
Who's Bobama?
00:05:53.115 --> 00:05:55.820
It's a term for a jerk face
00:05:57.551 --> 00:05:58.523
What? A Bobama.
00:05:58.523 --> 00:06:01.293
Oh my God. This whole time you're saying Bobama?
00:06:01.633 --> 00:06:02.810
It's a jerk face.
00:06:03.408 --> 00:06:06.403
Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I was just kind of sitting over there with
00:06:06.403 --> 00:06:10.953
my dog, but I heard you loudly say Barack Hussein Bobama.
00:06:10.993 --> 00:06:14.253
Well, that's just for fun. Bobama is the thing that it rhymes with Obama,
00:06:14.253 --> 00:06:15.390
which was the president.
00:06:16.513 --> 00:06:19.383
Okay. Okay. I'm sorry to interrupt here. I didn't know you guys were into this
00:06:19.383 --> 00:06:20.706
stuff. I just wanted to see if you're okay.
00:06:20.944 --> 00:06:21.923
We're not into this stuff.
00:06:21.923 --> 00:06:23.843
Yeah, what does that mean? I don't know what that means. Some sort of kink?
00:06:23.843 --> 00:06:29.193
Oh, like I saw you down kissing her feet and trying to take her shoes off and
00:06:29.593 --> 00:06:32.253
I assume lick her toes. I don't know. That's you.
00:06:32.673 --> 00:06:33.553
He wasn't going to lick my toes.
00:06:33.733 --> 00:06:35.923
That was some projection. That was some projection.
00:06:35.923 --> 00:06:37.013
Okay. Sorry.
00:06:37.433 --> 00:06:38.887
Do you have a foot thing?
00:06:39.438 --> 00:06:43.200
I put peanut butter on and I have my dog lick it off. I'll say that.
00:06:44.024 --> 00:06:45.833
That's almost gestiality.
00:06:46.493 --> 00:06:50.873
I do feel like you need to really need to make sure the dog has some consent
00:06:50.873 --> 00:06:53.736
in that matter because it does start to cross a line.
00:06:53.875 --> 00:06:56.153
Well, I feed the dog and it has.
00:06:56.697 --> 00:06:59.448
You can't feed a dog only peanut butter. They need meat.
00:07:00.693 --> 00:07:02.073
He'll get sick. He needs meat.
00:07:02.593 --> 00:07:05.913
I understand that. I got the wrong impression. I thought you guys were into
00:07:05.913 --> 00:07:07.933
something that you weren't, that I was also.
00:07:07.933 --> 00:07:11.393
I'm just getting broken up with and I'm begging her not to leave me because
00:07:11.733 --> 00:07:13.612
I am a shell of a human being.
00:07:14.563 --> 00:07:17.947
Well, honestly, I'm kind of thrown by this whole Bo Bama situation that you
00:07:18.232 --> 00:07:22.407
you do know it's Obama. You're saying Bo Bama on purpose. Like that actually
00:07:22.407 --> 00:07:26.687
does kind of change how I feel about you right now. I'm rewriting a ton of memories.
00:07:27.886 --> 00:07:29.494
Oh, see.
00:07:29.836 --> 00:07:32.997
Because like there were times where we were fighting and you were saying Bo
00:07:32.997 --> 00:07:36.372
Bama. And I was like, why are you bringing him into this?
00:07:36.732 --> 00:07:37.937
It's like, you know,
00:07:37.937 --> 00:07:40.436
And you're calling me a jerk face, actually.
00:07:41.318 --> 00:07:41.719
Yeah.
00:07:41.968 --> 00:07:46.197
Which is actually better and easier for me to understand than you being obsessed
00:07:46.197 --> 00:07:48.099
with the former president. Yeah.
00:07:48.453 --> 00:07:53.666
Yeah. I'm just an insulting person. I'm not like a weirdo who's obsessed with
00:07:54.223 --> 00:07:56.649
politics. I don't even really follow politics.
00:07:56.974 --> 00:08:00.587
But you do think you're better than me. Admit that. Come on.
00:08:01.107 --> 00:08:02.207
Just say it, you bo-bama.
00:08:02.207 --> 00:08:05.978
In some ways. In some ways. You bo-bama, bitch.
00:08:07.458 --> 00:08:11.277
Fuck it. I'm done with this relationship. How dare you call me bo-bama right
00:08:11.277 --> 00:08:12.918
tomorrow? My fucking face.
00:08:16.296 --> 00:08:20.551

00:09:23.238 --> 00:09:25.444
Barack Hussein Bobama.
00:09:26.767 --> 00:09:27.365

00:09:28.056 --> 00:09:28.375
Hmm?
00:09:28.671 --> 00:09:29.241
What's that?
00:09:29.541 --> 00:09:33.919
What'd you say? You bet it. You betcha. Holy moly.
00:09:34.128 --> 00:09:35.237
Did you say Bobama?
00:09:35.817 --> 00:09:41.771
Uh, just, you know, I'm just trying out catchphrases, feeling the moment,
00:09:41.771 --> 00:09:43.950
feeling the breeze a little bit.
00:09:44.973 --> 00:09:45.377
drunk
00:09:45.837 --> 00:09:51.977
Okay all right just did you want to say did you have any commentary on him as a
00:09:52.457 --> 00:09:58.097
President i'm just feeling the there are tulips there are trees i'm feeling
00:09:58.097 --> 00:10:02.087
good i'm just letting the spirits come to me
00:10:02.797 --> 00:10:06.474
said something i shouldn't have apparently that rustled a few feathers i see
00:10:06.741 --> 00:10:09.265
a couple of other people in our vicinity staring i'm just gonna
00:10:10.020 --> 00:10:14.298
prefer we just gloss over that and keep unloading these picnic baskets
00:10:14.472 --> 00:10:16.897
Yep okay what did you said
00:10:16.897 --> 00:10:17.757
Something sandwich
00:10:17.757 --> 00:10:18.807
In passing to those
00:10:18.807 --> 00:10:22.507
People sandwich no you know just i got here early
00:10:22.507 --> 00:10:24.393

00:10:24.562 --> 00:10:29.617
Okay i'm gonna put a sandwich on each corner the way the sandwich is good
00:10:29.617 --> 00:10:31.388
Yeah that's good so what'd you say to those people
00:10:31.969 --> 00:10:36.197
Um i was just trying out new catchphrases i hit those guys with a with an oi
00:10:36.197 --> 00:10:39.335
be woi be uh i thought that one worked that didn't work
00:10:40.097 --> 00:10:44.637
i thought it was kind of like a an oh boy meets a wavy gravy kind of thing they
00:10:44.637 --> 00:10:46.997
didn't like that um do you uh
00:10:47.526 --> 00:10:52.887
Do you come here often because i i noticed like kind of when we came in people
00:10:52.887 --> 00:10:57.934
kind of moved away that's why i was like this is a great spot for a picnic it's a very
00:10:58.463 --> 00:11:00.357
I i've always central
00:11:00.357 --> 00:11:04.117
Park is a pretty popular you know place but it
00:11:04.117 --> 00:11:06.067
Seems i know exactly and i feel carve out
00:11:06.067 --> 00:11:07.097
A little spot for ourselves
00:11:07.097 --> 00:11:10.107
Here. I've always been jealous of people who have like
a thing like,
00:11:10.107 --> 00:11:14.417
hey, there's the naked cowboy or there's the naked plumber. There's the naked
00:11:14.417 --> 00:11:16.236
mayor, like people who have a thing.
00:11:16.544 --> 00:11:19.940
And I wanted to be the guy that had the thing like, hey, the guy that always says that thing.
00:11:20.346 --> 00:11:22.686
And I come here sometimes and I just walk around.
00:11:23.162 --> 00:11:26.857
People wave to me. And now I say, hey, I'm going to say the thing and people
00:11:26.857 --> 00:11:30.406
are going to know me for that thing. And all strikes.
00:11:30.528 --> 00:11:34.313
It's just like baseball. I get 10-15 strikes and then I'm out.
00:11:34.714 --> 00:11:36.931
Huh. Okay. All right. Well,
00:11:37.905 --> 00:11:42.648

I've been walking to this park. Nobody knows me. I want to be a cool guy who has a thing.
00:12:14.690 --> 00:12:18.500
Right, right. Yeah, okay. I mean, it seems like people do know you,
00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:20.870
but maybe they don't actually like you.
00:12:20.870 --> 00:12:24.720
Oh, God, I've cornered us. I put sandwiches on the corners, but then I got carried
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.548
away, and I put sandwiches on the whole perimeter, and now we're surrounded.
00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:29.818
Yeah, it's a lot of sandwiches.
00:12:29.981 --> 00:12:33.450
Oh, God, here come the ants. Oh, no, this isn't the thing that I want to be
00:12:33.450 --> 00:12:36.520
known for. I'm not the sandwich guy. take it easy
00:12:36.520 --> 00:12:39.216

I i might have did you think do you think that that's a cool thing that someone would say
00:12:59.563 --> 00:13:01.380
I just didn't know why you said it to us
00:13:01.896 --> 00:13:05.342
Okay this is that one's not going to work then okay thank you sir noted
00:13:05.586 --> 00:13:07.840
Okay you did say that though
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.866
Right i did
00:13:09.029 --> 00:13:11.391
Oh okay okay why
00:13:12.750 --> 00:13:21.463
Uh i guess i wanted you a stranger uh-huh like to like me oh
00:13:23.043 --> 00:13:26.148
No, man. No, that's not the way.
00:13:26.497 --> 00:13:30.318
He just took off. My God. Well, yeah. It's like how fast he's running.
00:13:30.318 --> 00:13:33.668
Hey, look, here's the thing. Like, you don't have to engage with people just
00:13:33.668 --> 00:13:37.840
to engage with people. Like, especially if you don't really have much to say.
00:13:38.798 --> 00:13:42.037
Like, if you're going to start something, like, you know, finish it.
00:13:42.286 --> 00:13:47.368
Right? Like, you walked up to that gentleman and you said Barack Hussein Bo Bama.
00:13:47.728 --> 00:13:48.080
I did.
00:13:48.968 --> 00:13:50.698
Because his dog was Bo.
00:13:51.908 --> 00:13:53.548
Oh, okay. okay is that the connection so
00:13:53.548 --> 00:13:58.328
This is like barack hussein obama famously had a dog named bow and what this
00:13:58.688 --> 00:14:01.738
uh this catchphrase does is that it turns that those tropes on their on its
00:14:01.738 --> 00:14:06.805
ear and it combines the them both oh two things people like
00:14:06.950 --> 00:14:11.188
You're trying it out as a catchphrase yeah oh so kind of like you just walk
00:14:11.188 --> 00:14:12.814
by and that's kind of what you say and i
00:14:12.976 --> 00:14:18.868
Do my finger guns and i say barack hussein obama and they go whatever the answer
00:14:18.868 --> 00:14:22.238
to that that's this is where you come And this is why, what's a good call and
00:14:22.238 --> 00:14:25.538
response? What's a good, Barack Hussein Obama, now you.
00:14:26.228 --> 00:14:30.568
Honestly, my first question is why would you add the B to the name?
00:14:30.568 --> 00:14:34.108
That's too long. It has to be a snappier response. But that's what I'm saying.
00:14:34.108 --> 00:14:36.045
As a person, that's, I guess...
00:14:39.097 --> 00:14:41.697
What are you looking for out of people? You want friendship?
00:14:41.697 --> 00:14:46.657
I just want all these people are in their own little universes,
00:14:46.657 --> 00:14:48.417
and I just want to reach my arms out.
00:14:48.557 --> 00:14:49.397
You're just trying to bridge the divide.
00:14:49.597 --> 00:14:53.167
And I want to bridge the divide. I want to reach out and strangle them with kindness.
00:14:53.167 --> 00:14:57.137
I'm so sorry to interrupt. There's ants everywhere. I don't know if you see
00:14:57.137 --> 00:14:59.217
it. You have a lot of sandwiches on here. And there's just ants.
00:14:59.437 --> 00:15:05.870
Yeah, there's a logical explanation. Are you the sandwich guy or something? Oh, God, no. Here we go.
00:15:06.944 --> 00:15:09.968
No, I'm not the sandwich guy. I'm the Barack Hussein Obama guy.
00:15:10.514 --> 00:15:11.431
The what?
00:15:11.878 --> 00:15:15.937
Okay. Yeah, I'm the sandwich guy. I'll be the sandwich guy.

podcast. Both of them are. Let's get to our final mutter with Achilles and Carl.
00:16:42.382 --> 00:16:45.459
Hey, this is a nice, quiet spot for a picnic.
00:16:47.450 --> 00:16:49.337
Barack Hussein Obama.
00:16:53.377 --> 00:16:58.710
Huh. It's a weird response to what I just said.
00:17:00.615 --> 00:17:05.369
I'm just letting you know. I'm just letting you know who's still my president.
00:17:07.163 --> 00:17:08.746
Did you say Barack Hussein?
00:17:08.903 --> 00:17:09.949
Barack Hussein.
00:17:10.437 --> 00:17:11.406
Barack Hussein.
00:17:11.928 --> 00:17:14.663
Barack Hussein Obama is still my president and gonna be
00:17:15.557 --> 00:17:21.517
Okay yeah I was just trying to clarify what um what you said you said Bobama
00:17:21.855 --> 00:17:26.945
you know I know yeah I know like you know we we came out here we're co-workers
00:17:26.945 --> 00:17:29.284
we're trying to get to know each other but um,
00:17:30.329 --> 00:17:36.286
I think it's pretty sure because I voted for him a couple times yeah Barack Hussein Obama.
00:17:36.885 --> 00:17:37.423
That's what I said
00:17:39.426 --> 00:17:41.092
You said Obama, not Bobama?
00:17:41.538 --> 00:17:41.823
What?
00:17:43.111 --> 00:17:45.109
You said Obama, not Bobama?
00:17:45.422 --> 00:17:47.611
Listen, man, I feel like you're the only person I can trust in this office.
00:17:47.871 --> 00:17:50.931
I'm just being honest. I feel like everybody has it out for me.
00:17:51.425 --> 00:17:55.272
I feel like everybody has it out for me. I feel like everybody is breathing
00:17:55.272 --> 00:17:58.429
down my neck, looking at what I look at on my computer.
00:17:59.152 --> 00:18:02.661
Let me make sure I emphasize.
00:18:02.864 --> 00:18:07.775
It's my computer. Yes, it may belong to the company, but it's my computer.
00:18:08.373 --> 00:18:11.891
When I'm at work, did you change your password from the original password?
00:18:13.307 --> 00:18:16.592
Yeah, well, when they give you the computer, they give you a password so you
00:18:16.592 --> 00:18:18.242
can log into it, and then you're supposed to change it.
00:18:18.346 --> 00:18:18.921
Yes.
00:18:19.025 --> 00:18:20.362
Did you not change it?
00:18:20.362 --> 00:18:23.022
I did change it. I did change it. Okay, good. I just feel like people walking
00:18:23.022 --> 00:18:25.991
by and looking at what I'm looking at. It's like, why are you looking at what I'm looking at?
00:18:27.135 --> 00:18:27.588
Right.
00:18:27.727 --> 00:18:29.552
I feel like you're the only person I can trust in here, man.
00:18:29.552 --> 00:18:31.547
I feel like you're the only person I can trust in this office.
00:18:31.709 --> 00:18:35.030
No, I appreciate that. I want to be somebody you can trust. I mean,
00:18:35.244 --> 00:18:37.264
you know, like we work at Google.
00:18:37.793 --> 00:18:43.512
We are, you know, supposed to handle a lot of information, a lot of data,
00:18:43.832 --> 00:18:49.182
and we should be people where, you know, we should be trustworthy people.
00:18:49.182 --> 00:18:50.552
And I want to be that for you.
00:18:50.860 --> 00:18:54.910
I'm concerned that you think everybody in the office thinks that you're,
00:18:55.410 --> 00:18:57.453
that they're going after you.
00:18:57.761 --> 00:19:00.102
It just feels that way, right? Because let's break that, like,
00:19:00.102 --> 00:19:04.947
let's think about where we work at. Let's break down Google. Gio, Go.
00:19:05.684 --> 00:19:11.936
OG. Original things. Ellie, look, everybody.
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.857
Okay, so just read that back.
00:19:14.857 --> 00:19:22.124
Look, go, original gangster. Look, everybody. Everybody's looking. Everybody's looking.
00:19:22.885 --> 00:19:29.717
Okay, wow. Okay. Yeah, I didn't realize you were one of those people that really reads into stuff a lot.
00:19:30.627 --> 00:19:34.427
I thought that, you know, like that was just people that, you know,
00:19:35.387 --> 00:19:39.687
I'm not calling you like a conspiracy theorist, but it sounds like you.
00:19:40.327 --> 00:19:43.481
Do you know that guy, Terrence Howard? Do you know Terrence Howard?
00:19:43.754 --> 00:19:44.886
Yeah, it's one of my favorite actors.
00:19:45.820 --> 00:19:47.037
Oh, okay. Yeah, that makes sense.
00:19:47.037 --> 00:19:48.850
Have you ever seen the Jackson 5 American Dream?
00:19:49.942 --> 00:19:50.609
Yeah, I've seen that.
00:19:50.724 --> 00:19:53.000
I played
Jackie in that. That was one of his first roles.
00:19:54.219 --> 00:19:59.507
Yeah. This is so great. We're getting to know each other. Angela Bassett was in that, right?
00:20:00.070 --> 00:20:04.273
She was. She played Catherine. Where are you from? And what do you like to do?
00:20:05.538 --> 00:20:08.407
I'm from Connecticut. I mean, I don't like to do... I like to golf.
00:20:11.698 --> 00:20:16.347
That's my main thing. is, you know, I like to, after working 60 hours a week,
00:20:16.481 --> 00:20:19.598
you know, I like to go down to the golf course.
00:20:21.380 --> 00:20:22.855
Driving range.
00:20:23.093 --> 00:20:23.969
Jimmy Barter.
00:20:25.728 --> 00:20:28.747
Jimmy Barter. Oh, like Jimmy Carter?
00:20:29.084 --> 00:20:29.409
Who?
00:20:30.912 --> 00:20:31.562
Jimmy Carter?
00:20:32.154 --> 00:20:32.805
That's what I said.
00:20:34.308 --> 00:20:37.493
Right. I think you said Jimmy Barter, but I think we're talking about the same
00:20:37.493 --> 00:20:39.783
person. You're talking about the president.
00:20:40.804 --> 00:20:44.293
Thank you so much. I feel like you are a person who I can just lean on.
00:20:44.705 --> 00:20:47.623
I'm happy to be out here. Do you want some of my food?
00:20:48.283 --> 00:20:52.043
Yeah, let's set up here. Let's get set. But yeah,
00:20:56.633 --> 00:21:00.543
I brought the blanket, I brought a basket with some sandwiches and some stuff,
00:21:00.543 --> 00:21:02.136
a couple of drinks. What'd you bring?
00:21:02.577 --> 00:21:06.823
So I brought these fruits that are locally sourced. These are not fruits that
00:21:06.823 --> 00:21:08.678
you can just buy in a store.
00:21:09.154 --> 00:21:13.409
These fruits are from my garden. And I do a lot of crossbreeding with fruits.
00:21:13.955 --> 00:21:17.949
So what I did was I took a slice of starfruit and I put it in a banana.
00:21:18.303 --> 00:21:22.836
This took years to grow. So consider this a true gift. because I'd like you to be my friend.
00:21:24.178 --> 00:21:29.503
No, I, wow. This is, this is such an honor. You, you are giving me a fruit that
00:21:29.503 --> 00:21:34.900
you created. I mean, I can give you this turkey sandwich. I don't need processed meats.
00:21:35.510 --> 00:21:37.883
I don't need processed meats, but I will thank you for that.
00:21:38.403 --> 00:21:41.582
I'll eat the brand, but taste this.
00:21:41.826 --> 00:21:44.343
Taste this fruit. It's a star fruit mixed with a banana.
00:21:44.643 --> 00:21:47.166
I don't know how it tastes because I haven't had one. Only, only one grew.
00:21:47.518 --> 00:21:50.664
I planted a lot of seeds, but only one grew and it's taken three years.
00:21:51.901 --> 00:21:58.803
Wow that's a lot of effort as a piece yeah let me try it let me try it okay that's i'm peeling it.
00:21:59.958 --> 00:22:02.863
Okay that is that ain't like yeah it's banana right there

00:22:27.033 --> 00:22:29.215

Why I got a job at Google. It's why I got a job at Google because think about it.
