TRANSCRIÇÃO 🔗
WEBVTT
00:00:14.649 --> 00:00:20.029
Oh, welcome in. I'm Don Finnelli, this is Mutterply. We got three pairs of improvisers.
00:00:20.029 --> 00:00:22.189
They're all improvising a short scene.
00:00:22.697 --> 00:00:26.497
They're all starting with the same two lines that I am secretly messaging them
00:00:26.497 --> 00:00:29.577
right before we start recording. So they can't pre-plan anything.
00:00:29.797 --> 00:00:32.737
They don't know each other's lines. They're hearing them for the first time
00:00:32.737 --> 00:00:36.077
when you are hearing them. I have some fun news to get to, but first I want
00:00:36.077 --> 00:00:37.737
to shout out Becca Bowerman.
00:00:37.917 --> 00:00:42.117
Today's first two lines were submitted by Becca Bowerman. Thank you, Becca.
00:00:42.337 --> 00:00:45.757
She emailed over the first two lines of the scene and you know what?
00:00:45.817 --> 00:00:46.657
You can do the same thing.
00:00:46.797 --> 00:00:49.677
If you have two fun lines, you'd love to see our guests start with.
00:00:49.777 --> 00:00:52.597
You could send them over to me. I'll use them in a future episode.
00:00:52.697 --> 00:00:53.577
I'll give you a nice shout out.
00:00:53.757 --> 00:00:59.717
You can DM me on Instagram at mutterflythepod, or you can email the lines like
00:00:59.717 --> 00:01:03.197
Becca did to mutterflythepod at gmail.com.
00:01:03.377 --> 00:01:06.777
All right, let's get to the news. So I bought a house.
00:01:07.197 --> 00:01:12.797
I'm moving to New Jersey in a few weeks, and I'm starting grad school in the fall. So no big deal.
00:01:13.397 --> 00:01:16.317
Very small life changes are on the horizon for me.
00:01:16.537 --> 00:01:20.677
Yeah. You know what? I got about eight more hilarious episodes recorded.
00:01:20.797 --> 00:01:22.197
They're in the can. They're ready to go.
00:01:22.397 --> 00:01:25.997
But my time is going to be extremely limited here. Okay. It's actually,
00:01:26.077 --> 00:01:27.157
it's been extremely limited.
00:01:27.337 --> 00:01:31.577
This was an ill-advised project that I started, but you know what?
00:01:31.637 --> 00:01:34.077
I'm having a lot of fun. My guests seem to have a lot of fun with it.
00:01:34.277 --> 00:01:40.057
I think they enjoy the kind of quick and easy recording process and seems like you enjoy it too.
00:01:40.257 --> 00:01:44.317
So this is what I'm I'm going to do it. Okay. I think I'm going to do this in seasons, right?
00:01:44.397 --> 00:01:48.737
I got about eight more episodes to go in this season and we'll put the brakes on for a while.
00:01:48.837 --> 00:01:51.637
I'm going to get situated on the East coast again. I'm going to start grad school.
00:01:51.917 --> 00:01:55.157
Uh, and then I'll batch record a few more episodes, hopefully,
00:01:55.357 --> 00:01:56.437
you know, towards the end of the semester.
00:01:56.917 --> 00:02:01.677
And, uh, that will become season two. Uh, so feel free, you know,
00:02:01.777 --> 00:02:05.617
to keep, uh, send me those ideas for the first two lines of the scene.
00:02:05.817 --> 00:02:09.777
I'll still take those. Just know you might not hear them until season two.
00:02:10.137 --> 00:02:12.857
Okay. Yeah. So, you know, next few weeks,
00:02:12.997 --> 00:02:14.277
They're going to be great.
00:02:14.437 --> 00:02:18.437
But enough about me. Let's get to our first mutter, okay? We actually have two
00:02:18.437 --> 00:02:22.417
of my past students. I'm so pumped about this. You know, they were hilarious then.
00:02:22.914 --> 00:02:24.334
They're hilarious now. It's Tao
00:02:24.334 --> 00:02:31.034
Yang and Jake Cornell. Tao is an advanced experimental, to say the least.
00:02:31.214 --> 00:02:34.214
Just this insane performance class that I ran many years ago.
00:02:34.574 --> 00:02:39.014
Jake, I think he was in my first 401 that I taught at the UCB Theater.
00:02:39.554 --> 00:02:42.634
But Tao's the best, man. He's rocking out Harold Knight right now in LA,
00:02:42.674 --> 00:02:46.774
so you can check him out there. But he's, of course, you can see him on Dropout TV.
00:02:47.114 --> 00:02:50.434
You know, he's written for shows like Game Changer and Breaking News and Nobody
00:02:50.434 --> 00:02:54.174
Asked. And, uh, you can catch him on the new season of smarty pants,
00:02:54.174 --> 00:02:55.854
uh, that should be coming out soon.
00:02:56.114 --> 00:03:00.174
And, uh, Jake, he was at the UCB for a long time in New York,
00:03:00.274 --> 00:03:04.094
but he pivoted to stand up and, uh, he's been rocking that out for a bit.
00:03:04.234 --> 00:03:09.514
He's racked up like 200,000 followers on Instagram and Tik TOK because he puts
00:03:09.514 --> 00:03:14.014
out extremely funny videos, uh, that make me laugh extremely fucking hard.
00:03:14.214 --> 00:03:18.814
Uh, but, uh, he's touring this June. He's doing standup in DC, Boston, Provincetown.
00:03:18.934 --> 00:03:23.214
So you can see him there. But for now, hey, let's get to our first mutter with Teo and Jake.
00:03:27.474 --> 00:03:30.834
I have so many lip balms.
00:03:33.154 --> 00:03:35.634
Ketchup and mustard make toothpaste.
00:03:39.091 --> 00:03:42.071

of these lip balms like i don't want billy's lip cells in my next apartment
00:04:24.551 --> 00:04:26.671
it's like i want to like leave it behind like
00:04:28.171 --> 00:04:34.131
Nothing sucks more i'll say than buying a lip balm a second time you know that's
00:04:34.131 --> 00:04:37.771
kind of the worst feeling in the world besides the massive breakup that you
00:04:37.771 --> 00:04:41.491
just had and the cheating and you know
00:04:41.491 --> 00:04:44.431
That was all i will say that was real it was really
00:04:44.431 --> 00:04:47.171
bad it was really bad but like i want like
00:04:47.171 --> 00:04:50.051
i just want like fresh start like all new like like
00:04:50.051 --> 00:04:52.891
clean slate like am i making like am i brushing my teeth with
00:04:52.891 --> 00:04:56.051
billy's ketchup and mustard mixed together because of the chemical reaction
00:04:56.051 --> 00:04:58.831
or am i like like i know you i know you
00:04:58.831 --> 00:05:02.331
like hate waste but it's also like i'm like really trying to like get a fresh
00:05:02.331 --> 00:05:05.511
start here and it's like but i don't want to be a bad person because like karma
00:05:05.511 --> 00:05:09.931
or whatever and like i keep on asking myself like what did i do to deserve right
00:05:09.931 --> 00:05:16.251
cheated on me with every member of his volleyball team i called every member and they all and
00:05:16.251 --> 00:05:22.191
I honestly i i it they're hot they're hot i'll i'll just say oh they're hot i'm sorry i'm just
00:05:22.191 --> 00:05:25.331
They're hot it's fine it's i i'd rather you be honest with you about it because
00:05:25.331 --> 00:05:29.411
like i am really aware that they are and like it's i want like i wanted and
00:05:29.411 --> 00:05:32.051
it's and like kind of better it's
00:05:32.051 --> 00:05:34.451
Kind of kind of better that it was like people that he knew
00:05:34.451 --> 00:05:38.651
Yeah i just wish i hadn't tried out for the team and not got on because that
00:05:38.651 --> 00:05:41.611
is the part where it was like okay cool so like would this have happened if
00:05:41.611 --> 00:05:44.771
i got on like if i was a better volleyball like is it because i'm like like
00:05:44.771 --> 00:05:47.291
i don't know if it's because they're hotter than me or if because i fucking
00:05:47.291 --> 00:05:51.511
am not good at volleyball enough apparently or like both right
00:05:51.511 --> 00:05:55.911
And just at least to his credit it was like it wasn't like it was like a random
00:05:55.911 --> 00:05:59.851
person at a bar it was someone he played three to four seasons of volleyball
00:05:59.851 --> 00:06:03.851
with like trials tribulations ups and downs like
00:06:03.851 --> 00:06:08.611
No and it was like they also made it clear that it was like it was one-on-ones
00:06:08.611 --> 00:06:12.211
and then groups like they would do it he like did it one-on-one with every person
00:06:12.211 --> 00:06:18.171
and then also groups after the games and it's so i i know like i get like
00:06:19.091 --> 00:06:22.551
environmentalism like i get that but like every time i look at any of this shit
00:06:22.551 --> 00:06:26.111
i see my boyfriend getting gang banged by a bunch of hot volleyball players
00:06:26.111 --> 00:06:30.911
i i understand it feels like i'm getting spiked spiked okay
00:06:32.609 --> 00:06:35.969
Yeah it's just you know you don't want to throw out the the bath water with
00:06:35.969 --> 00:06:40.109

On at this time
00:07:44.423 --> 00:07:48.363

fucking a bunch of uh just kind of like our gangbang sessions listen i'm just
00:07:53.163 --> 00:07:58.223
being honest i'm just it's time to be honest and now is the honest time practice was always later and
00:07:58.223 --> 00:08:04.403
Your radical honesty practice has done a lot for us i guess um yeah cool there's
00:08:04.403 --> 00:08:06.943

If you don't want them i mean we can

Split skis if you want you

00:08:13.143 --> 00:08:17.123
Okay yeah take half take whatever you go through it right now take whatever
00:08:17.123 --> 00:08:21.983

Go ahead good
00:08:24.903 --> 00:08:25.563
To see you by the way

i miss both of you but yeah i really i really miss you tayo i really
00:08:37.084 --> 00:08:40.564
Because, like, you're just, like, first of all, you're always sustainable.
00:08:41.284 --> 00:08:44.764
Like, you just are always, like, you care so much about people,
00:08:44.864 --> 00:08:49.124
the environment. And I don't have a lot of that in my life. People just kind of want to use me for me.
00:08:50.184 --> 00:08:56.624
Yeah. And actually, this is actually a good place to say, I do want you both at my leftovers party.
00:08:57.884 --> 00:08:59.304
Ooh, I would love to be here.
00:09:00.144 --> 00:09:02.384
It's where we watch the leftovers and bring our leftovers.
00:09:02.844 --> 00:09:03.764
No, I know.
00:09:03.924 --> 00:09:04.744
No, I love it.
00:09:04.864 --> 00:09:05.264
I'd love to.
00:09:05.664 --> 00:09:06.444
Yeah, of course.
00:09:07.084 --> 00:09:10.204
Billy, do you, Billy, have you ever watched, we're on season three.
00:09:10.344 --> 00:09:11.504
Have you watched any of the leftovers?
00:09:12.764 --> 00:09:16.604
I was fucking a lot. Okay.
00:09:16.864 --> 00:09:18.944
I didn't have a lot of time. No, totally. Because there's like,
00:09:18.964 --> 00:09:20.984
what, 15 guys on the team.
00:09:21.364 --> 00:09:26.464
So, because I would fuck each individual and then I would fuck in groups.
00:09:27.064 --> 00:09:27.124
Right.
00:09:27.124 --> 00:09:29.784
And then those groups would get bigger. So, it was a lot of iterations.
00:09:30.224 --> 00:09:32.844
You ever see like those things like how many squares are in the,
00:09:32.924 --> 00:09:34.624
you know, how many rectangles are in this big rectangle?
00:09:34.644 --> 00:09:35.684
Yeah. Right.
00:09:35.684 --> 00:09:39.884
Some people only see like five but there's actually like 15 right it was like
00:09:39.884 --> 00:09:42.884
that sometimes this square turned into this so sometimes there's
00:09:42.884 --> 00:09:43.704
Two three of us
00:09:43.704 --> 00:09:48.584
Right we would just be wearing our high socks and knee pads and you know bump
00:09:48.584 --> 00:09:53.624
sets spiking each other flying i would do it like one of these like fly-ins
00:09:53.624 --> 00:09:57.624
and slap someone in the back of the head yeah all fucking them at this it was
00:09:57.624 --> 00:10:01.284
it was oh i wish you were there you know it's
00:10:01.284 --> 00:10:03.404
Probably like 80 80 plus sessions then
00:10:03.404 --> 00:10:08.484
Yeah it's team of 15 thanks for doing the math man it's like 15 factorial something
00:10:08.484 --> 00:10:12.064
back and napkin math dude you're always great at that that was it was about
00:10:12.064 --> 00:10:16.644
that yeah it was about whatever factorial it was you're probably right on that
00:10:16.644 --> 00:10:21.504
so i wish you made the team i wish you made the team i'm sorry
00:10:23.204 --> 00:10:27.824
Um you know i think i'm gonna i think i have to i think i'm um gonna leave all
00:10:27.824 --> 00:10:30.384
of this here I think I have to just start fresh.
00:10:32.604 --> 00:10:35.064
I don't think I can carry it. Do you want any of these lip balms,
00:10:35.164 --> 00:10:38.684
Billy? Because I think there's some ketchup and mustard in the fridge.
00:10:39.984 --> 00:10:40.964
For teeth brushing?
00:10:42.449 --> 00:10:45.789
I guess that's what I, I was not aware that that was the,
00:10:46.009 --> 00:10:50.429
Yeah, yeah. Ketchup and mustard makes toothpaste. This is why,
00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:52.529
you know, this is why we don't work out, right? This is like,
00:10:52.629 --> 00:10:54.149
you just don't know a lot of stuff.
00:10:54.409 --> 00:10:57.609
Wait, isn't that, isn't that your nickname on the team? Ketchup?
00:10:57.989 --> 00:10:58.389
Me?
00:10:58.829 --> 00:10:59.229
Yeah.
00:10:59.489 --> 00:11:01.749
Yeah. I'm ketchup. Ketchup.
00:11:02.369 --> 00:11:05.709
You gotta be. Was there someone named mustard on the team?
00:11:05.729 --> 00:11:06.409
This is hard.
00:11:06.829 --> 00:11:13.789
It was, it was my nickname for a lot of men. and uh it was kind of a little
00:11:13.789 --> 00:11:18.149
Can i tell i'm a little sorry sorry i just i kind of was under the impression
00:11:18.149 --> 00:11:20.929
that i was giving you all the information in regards to what willie was doing
00:11:20.929 --> 00:11:24.709
with the team and it feels like you have like a separate set of data that like i was not
00:11:25.669 --> 00:11:31.469
privy to and that is just confusing to me uh personally right now and i just
00:11:31.469 --> 00:11:34.969
We text is that is that okay it was okay we
00:11:34.969 --> 00:11:40.069
Text we text a lot billy there's kind of an emotional relationship happening
00:11:40.069 --> 00:11:41.669
here. I am not attracted.
00:11:42.389 --> 00:11:45.669
I would have sex, but I'm...
00:11:45.669 --> 00:11:46.809
Have you? No.
00:11:49.933 --> 00:11:51.773
it's a really long pause it's
00:11:51.773 --> 00:11:56.153
The no it's not no it's not a pause it's a pause it's a shocking question i just i
00:11:56.153 --> 00:11:58.953
Don't know we had to look we had to look at each other real quick and connect
00:11:58.953 --> 00:12:04.453
and just kind of look into each other's eyes and be like did we because there's
00:12:04.453 --> 00:12:08.093
been so much emotional connection and
00:12:08.093 --> 00:12:12.693
It's hard to know imagination from reality sometimes and you know what this
00:12:12.693 --> 00:12:17.213
is so fucked up i'm sorry this is so messed up we you i i'm here to support
00:12:17.213 --> 00:12:20.033
you let's throw away the lip balm it's
00:12:20.033 --> 00:12:23.653
I don't need any of them throw them away you got to get just got to get
rid of it
00:12:23.653 --> 00:12:28.293
Just feels like everyone here is mistaking radical brutal
00:12:28.293 --> 00:12:34.153
cruel honesty with support um in a way that has never made a me i felt i've
00:12:34.153 --> 00:12:38.613
never felt lower than i sort of do right now in this moment um and i and i know
00:12:38.613 --> 00:12:43.333
you guys are just being like honest um but currently experiencing a level of
00:12:43.333 --> 00:12:47.893
pain that's um wow it's a lot right now i have to tell you
00:12:47.893 --> 00:12:53.733
I'm not offended by that but oh i will say i've always it's not like you're
00:12:53.733 --> 00:12:58.973
the gum on the floor of the taxi or anything like that um although that was
00:12:58.973 --> 00:13:02.853
my first thought when you said you felt low um uh-huh
00:13:03.473 --> 00:13:10.253
but you just we just don't connect a lot so you you always actually felt a little lower than me
00:13:12.073 --> 00:13:19.393
physically not that i'm i'm i'm six eight but you know yep uh-huh um i'm just
00:13:19.393 --> 00:13:24.813
being honest this is how it is radical honesty can i can i yeah just what
00:13:24.813 --> 00:13:29.353
I want to say is i think you have a really good shot next season of joining
00:13:29.353 --> 00:13:32.453
the team i think you have a really good shot joining
00:13:33.871 --> 00:13:35.171
We have talked about it
00:13:35.171 --> 00:13:37.111
Really yeah yep
00:13:37.111 --> 00:13:39.951
And if mustard doesn't come back
00:13:39.951 --> 00:13:40.531
From i guess
00:13:40.971 --> 00:13:43.131
Their ankle injury you you could be a shoe in
00:13:43.131 --> 00:13:46.011
I mean i guess that feel i it would feel a little weird to do at this moment
00:13:46.011 --> 00:13:52.631
but also like i i do i i think community would be really good for me um i don't
00:13:52.631 --> 00:13:57.151
really know where else to go so i guess i guess yeah maybe you know i'll have
00:13:57.151 --> 00:14:02.451
a new apartment i'll have new stuff maybe i try out for the team and oh man
00:14:02.451 --> 00:14:03.131
If you make it
00:14:03.131 --> 00:14:06.131
If you just have anything if you guys have any pointers based on what you saw
00:14:06.131 --> 00:14:11.571
me do at the last tryout just something to do differently sure
00:14:11.571 --> 00:14:19.911
Grow you need to be taller so put on them flat forms and work on them spikes
00:14:19.911 --> 00:14:22.551
Okay and
00:14:22.551 --> 00:14:24.511
Then you could join the team that we go then we could have sex
00:14:24.511 --> 00:14:26.031
Okay
00:14:30.875 --> 00:14:36.335
Thanks, Tao. Thanks, Jake. Next up, it's my boys, James Coker and Marshall Stratton.

Yes, I've been running a fantasy football league for over a decade.

And yes, Coker and Stratton are two exclusive members of that league.
00:14:44.355 --> 00:14:48.075
But more importantly, they were a sketch comedy duo for many years out of the
00:14:48.075

00:15:08.955 --> 00:15:14.375
And they served as 13-month champions of the sketch competition show Backyard

to our second mutter with cocker and stratton i
00:15:44.495 --> 00:15:46.155
Have so many lip balms
00:15:48.643 --> 00:15:55.603
Ketchup and mustard make toothpaste? I mean, I just think at this point,
00:15:56.083 --> 00:15:58.483
you know, like, yes, you're a lifeguard.
00:15:59.003 --> 00:16:06.103
And yes, your lips are very important. But, like, I just think you got too many lip balms, man.
00:16:07.323 --> 00:16:12.903
Listen, when I told my wife that I wanted to be a career lifeguard, she didn't support me.
00:16:13.943 --> 00:16:20.223
So I had to go. I didn't care that, you know, we had a family together,
00:16:20.243 --> 00:16:24.843
that we had three kids like, you know, beaches life, as they say.
00:16:26.623 --> 00:16:31.683
And I had to I had to make it a part of my life, my purpose and my profession.
00:16:31.983 --> 00:16:38.223
So, yeah, you having so many lip balms is part of this part of the job.
00:16:39.803 --> 00:16:43.723
Great. Listen, I'm your best friend. I'll love you no matter what.
00:16:43.723 --> 00:16:50.423
you know and i i you know like yes you are employed you know like we're we're
00:16:50.423 --> 00:16:55.623
doing like a pros cons thing like yes by a city by a city by the city right
00:16:55.623 --> 00:17:00.203
you're a city employee yeah and like you got good benefits and stuff and like
00:17:00.203 --> 00:17:03.703
yeah you're you're working on your tan uh 365 it's actually
00:17:03.703 --> 00:17:07.263
Seasonal so it's not full-time we don't get the benefits but it's
00:17:07.263 --> 00:17:11.143
Still Okay, I'm going to just mark that off the pros.
00:17:12.123 --> 00:17:17.463
I just think like it's like you're 43,
you know?
00:17:17.603 --> 00:17:21.803
Sure. It's just, you know, this is usually like a summer job,
00:17:21.823 --> 00:17:25.663
you know, in high school or college. It's not something you make a career out
00:17:25.663 --> 00:17:27.243
of, especially with kids, man.
00:17:27.683 --> 00:17:31.103
They say 43 is the new 27. Who say?
00:17:31.863 --> 00:17:35.223
A lot of people. I mean, who says that ketchup and mustard makes toothpaste?
00:17:35.483 --> 00:17:37.343
Like that's not an expression I've ever heard.
00:17:38.223 --> 00:17:42.223
It was just like a, like, you know, like, you know, tomato, tomato,
00:17:42.543 --> 00:17:44.683
you know? Like, it's just like, it's just...
00:17:46.213 --> 00:17:50.373
I don't know, man. I just think, like, you just got to grow up at some point.
00:17:50.573 --> 00:17:53.793
You know, like, yeah, I work a really boring job. I'm in finance.
00:17:54.013 --> 00:17:57.593
You know, I'm just, like, crunching numbers and, like, crushing meetings.
00:17:57.813 --> 00:18:03.173
But, like, I grew up, man. I had to. Like, I left the beach, man.
00:18:03.533 --> 00:18:07.973
You know, like, I can't have the sand between my toes, you know,
00:18:08.073 --> 00:18:10.153
for three months out of the year like you.
00:18:10.293 --> 00:18:14.213
I just can't do it. It burns my feet. I have plantar fasciitis now.
00:18:14.833 --> 00:18:21.593
I and I respect that you decided to, you know, take the the worn path through
00:18:21.593 --> 00:18:25.333
life and, you know, make the safe bet and support your family.
00:18:25.513 --> 00:18:29.213
But I just I've ever told you about my hero growing up.
00:18:30.936 --> 00:18:36.836
I mean, I think you'd mentioned something about like it's not your dad or anything, right?
00:18:37.476 --> 00:18:47.796
No, my dad was a total piece of shit. But my hero growing up was a lifeguard at my public pool.
00:18:47.876 --> 00:18:51.236
And his name was Trent Richardson. No relation to the...
00:18:51.236 --> 00:18:52.136
Running back?
00:18:53.556 --> 00:18:55.916
To that. It's a very good... The
00:18:55.916 --> 00:18:59.116
name is more common than you would think because I've tried to find him.
00:19:02.356 --> 00:19:07.696
Very common name I mean you know yeah but yeah go on
00:19:07.696 --> 00:19:13.396
I've tried to find his family because he's no longer with us but like he was
00:19:13.396 --> 00:19:19.976
my hero growing up because he was the main lifeguard of my public pool and
00:19:21.496 --> 00:19:28.176
he tragically died it wasn't on the job he choked on a hot dog but what I'm
00:19:28.176 --> 00:19:35.756
trying to say is that he embodied everything that I wanted to be in a man.
00:19:36.116 --> 00:19:38.136
And now I feel like I'm 43.
00:19:39.196 --> 00:19:46.116
I wasn't happy and I felt like I needed to honor him by pursuing my dream,
00:19:46.236 --> 00:19:50.296
which is being a lifeguard for the city and on a seasonal basis.
00:19:51.896 --> 00:19:57.416
Okay i mean
i think your your mind's made up you know and i'm sorry your hero
00:19:57.416 --> 00:20:02.296
choked on a hot dog but i i just i care about you and i just yeah
00:20:02.296 --> 00:20:05.676
Thank you but this is why i was calling the reason i was calling to tell you
00:20:05.676 --> 00:20:10.156
all this is um yeah i need you to take care of my family for me while i'm gone
00:20:12.005 --> 00:20:19.085
Like, I just, if, listen, if Brittany is having a tough time and needs some
00:20:19.085 --> 00:20:22.305
help, like, I need you to be that guy.
00:20:22.305 --> 00:20:29.405
I'm going to list you as the emergency contact for my kids and my wife in case something happens.
00:20:31.005 --> 00:20:35.105
And, you know, I don't need you to be a stepfather, per se, but I do need you
00:20:35.105 --> 00:20:36.365
to be the father who stepped up.
00:20:37.525 --> 00:20:40.985
You know, I'll do it because I do care about them,
00:20:41.125 --> 00:20:46.165
and I care about your family, and I care that they will be okay for three months
00:20:46.165 --> 00:20:53.105
while you go down to Florida and live this dream, but I gotta tell you, man, that's a lot.
00:20:53.225 --> 00:20:58.285
I have my family of my own, but I'll do it, because I care, and you know, like.
00:20:58.825 --> 00:21:02.965
But you know what they say, what's better than family is more family.
00:21:05.793 --> 00:21:09.473
These sayings, I've never heard these before. And you keep saying them like,
00:21:09.653 --> 00:21:14.033
I'm supposed to have heard. I've never heard these before. You know?
00:21:15.053 --> 00:21:17.833
But listen, okay. I appreciate the phone call.
00:21:17.853 --> 00:21:22.493
You guys want to buy a bird? Either of you want to buy a bird? You want to buy a bird?
00:21:22.693 --> 00:21:23.773
What kind of bird are we talking?
00:21:23.953 --> 00:21:24.213
Yeah.
00:21:25.093 --> 00:21:27.633
This is a songbird, and this is a dove.
00:21:29.093 --> 00:21:30.133
You got two birds?
00:21:31.033 --> 00:21:32.853
Yeah, they're on my shoulder. You want one?
00:21:34.053 --> 00:21:39.453
Shit, I'll take it, man. Um, listen, buddy, could you actually spot me for this bird?
00:21:39.873 --> 00:21:44.573
Because my first check for my life regarding job.
00:21:48.013 --> 00:21:52.513
Thanks, James. Thanks, Marshall. Last up, you heard them before in episode 18.
00:21:52.513 --> 00:21:56.073
If you haven't, go check it out. It's Jen Bartels and George Karaman.
00:21:56.553 --> 00:22:01.833
Jen and I, we were on a mod team. It was called Gramps for many years back in
00:22:01.833 --> 00:22:04.933
the day at the UCB in New York. She was also on Harold Knight,
00:22:05.133 --> 00:22:09.893
too, at the time, but she was a writer and actor on the sketch comedy series Friends of the People.
00:22:10.073 --> 00:22:15.253
She starred alongside Mina Savari and Alicia Silverstone in the TV series American Woman.
00:22:15.473 --> 00:22:19.653
She was in shows like Better Things and Shrill
and in all sorts of commercials.
00:22:20.073 --> 00:22:25.233
George Caraman, maybe you saw him on Broad City or Search Party or Last Man
00:22:25.233 --> 00:22:28.553
on Earth or Single Parents. I think you should leave. Hacks.
00:22:28.853 --> 00:22:33.753
And, of course, Funny or Dies, Long-Haired Businessmen. They just made a movie. I cannot wait to see it.
00:22:34.433 --> 00:22:38.953
And he's also in a very funny series called Man Thinkers with past guest Dan Klein.
00:22:39.513 --> 00:22:44.173
I've known George for many years. I talked about it on his last episode.
00:22:44.373 --> 00:22:48.093
But he's also in my fantasy football league with Coger and Marshall,
00:22:48.333 --> 00:22:50.553
which, again, is very exclusive.
00:22:51.193 --> 00:22:55.913
But, hey, let's get to our final mutter, shall we? It's with Jen Bartels and George Karaman.
00:22:56.153 --> 00:22:56.753
Good evening.
00:23:00.608 --> 00:23:02.228
Yeah, I have so many lip balms.
00:23:04.128 --> 00:23:06.428
Ketchup and mustard make toothpaste.
00:23:09.028 --> 00:23:10.208
Yeah, I have all of those.
00:23:10.988 --> 00:23:14.228
You have that? Wow. Yeah. That's fantastic.
00:23:14.508 --> 00:23:17.608
Because when I walked in, I said, your place is great. And I was like,
00:23:17.688 --> 00:23:23.068
I love that I'm on a date with a woman that has such a cozy environment to live in.
00:23:23.188 --> 00:23:26.408
And then when you know, like, you already have ketchup and mustard so we can
00:23:26.408 --> 00:23:27.288
make toothpaste together.
00:23:27.428 --> 00:23:30.468
Like, that is freaking, we are hitting it off right now. You know what I mean?
00:23:32.988 --> 00:23:34.268

Oh, I would say like heavy vodka, like a heavier, thicker vodka.
00:24:53.578 --> 00:24:57.818
Oh, I love thick vodka. What's cool about thick vodka is you never know how
00:24:57.818 --> 00:25:01.438
it got that way. You know, it's like, did they mess up? Did I mess up?
00:25:01.918 --> 00:25:06.978
Turtle yeah yeah totally totally oh

00:25:11.878 --> 00:25:15.198
i never thought that we would start dating you know i didn't know that this
00:25:15.198 --> 00:25:20.018
would happen but um i gotta say when i saw your moccasin yeah yeah i just thought
00:25:20.018 --> 00:25:24.978
you had a cool style you know and i'm a curator of cool things absolutely
00:25:24.978 --> 00:25:29.478
Yeah no i i saw on instagram you do like a whole curation page of like you know
00:25:29.478 --> 00:25:31.458
culture and whatnot so i think that's pretty.
00:25:31.458 --> 00:25:38.478
Yeah like buzzwords curated things bespoke culture farm to table short totally
00:25:38.478 --> 00:25:44.518
yeah totally that's awesome and yeah yeah and short form just short form things yeah
00:25:44.518 --> 00:25:49.038
No you're like yeah you're a short form curator not even creator just curating
00:25:49.038 --> 00:25:51.458
short form stuff which is awesome i think.
00:25:51.458 --> 00:25:56.858
Yeah influencers content creators i'm a short form curator so right that's cool
00:25:56.858 --> 00:26:00.898
yeah yeah awesome My hallway is long. Here's my kitchen.
00:26:01.538 --> 00:26:06.118
Yeah. Wow. Huge place, but mostly just a hallway. That's pretty interesting. A large hallway.
00:26:06.418 --> 00:26:09.478
Did you know back in the 30s, that's what primarily homes were?
00:26:10.298 --> 00:26:10.698
Hallways?
00:26:10.878 --> 00:26:12.618
I don't. Yeah. Hallways.
00:26:13.218 --> 00:26:14.958
Is that like a Great Depression thing?
00:26:15.978 --> 00:26:18.938
It was after the Depression, but before people got happy again.
00:26:19.518 --> 00:26:26.278
Oh, got it. Right. So they kind of just, it was like, let's just spend time in a narrow space.
00:26:26.518 --> 00:26:28.078
Yeah. I mean, that's what. Yeah, absolutely.
00:26:28.698 --> 00:26:32.418
that's cool though but you've done a lot with the hallway I think so I feel
00:26:32.418 --> 00:26:33.378
comfortable in this hallway,
00:26:34.745 --> 00:26:37.945
Mostly because you're here, you know what I mean? Small, definitely small.
00:26:38.965 --> 00:26:42.665
It's really small. I'm we're pressed together right now in a way that's cute.
00:26:42.945 --> 00:26:45.505
And yeah, I'm really sweating.
00:26:46.305 --> 00:26:50.565
That's okay. I like sweat. I can do a lot with that. Um, I can take people's
00:26:50.565 --> 00:26:53.665
sweat. I can kind of, yeah, I can cleanse it and may turn into drinking water.
00:26:54.285 --> 00:27:00.465
Um, I can bathe in it. Um, you know, there's a lot, there's a lot you can do
00:27:00.465 --> 00:27:02.385
with sweat, uh, human sweat specifically.
00:27:03.485 --> 00:27:08.925
I did a post once that was like similar. So it was a small, it was a small carrying device.
00:27:09.125 --> 00:27:12.185
And so I took it and then I put in it that was transparent.
00:27:12.425 --> 00:27:15.565
And then I said, here it is. And then you decide.
00:27:17.506 --> 00:27:22.346
Cool wait sorry what i don't know if i follow that it.
00:27:22.346 --> 00:27:27.686
Was just a post i did for curating small farm-to-table
00:27:27.686 --> 00:27:33.266
Essences oh got it got it that's cool that's awesome yeah one time um i was
00:27:33.266 --> 00:27:39.306
living in the woods and um i couldn't uh find any like potable drinking water
00:27:39.306 --> 00:27:43.246
you know it was all like filled with piss and shit from animals and stuff and
00:27:43.246 --> 00:27:45.206
so what i did was i just did a bunch of really intense.
00:27:48.046 --> 00:27:51.266
So you just found pockets of shit, water, like shit and piss everywhere.
00:27:51.366 --> 00:27:52.726
What forest, where were you?
00:27:53.346 --> 00:27:56.186
Yeah, I was, I was in the Arctic circle. And what a lot of people don't know
00:27:56.186 --> 00:28:01.846
about the Arctic circle is the bodies of water in the Arctic circle are filled with piss and shit.
00:28:02.026 --> 00:28:05.826
Like it is just heaping because the animals up there are so big.
00:28:05.906 --> 00:28:08.346
We're talking moose, we're talking bears, we're talking wolves,
00:28:08.346 --> 00:28:10.926
and they're just shitting and pissing all over the rivers.
00:28:11.186 --> 00:28:14.586
And so a lot of the water is tough to drink.
00:28:14.746 --> 00:28:17.906
So what I did instead was I did a bout of really intense cardio,
00:28:18.106 --> 00:28:20.086
which I was very weak at the time because I was lost.
00:28:20.486 --> 00:28:26.106
Um, and I was able to, yeah, I siphoned.
00:28:26.286 --> 00:28:29.126
Yeah, I did a workout. I did like an intense called a Norwegian four by four.
00:28:29.266 --> 00:28:33.206
You go four bouts of running as fast as you can for four minutes.
00:28:33.346 --> 00:28:35.966
And then you walk for three minutes and then you do that four times in a row.
00:28:36.066 --> 00:28:37.546
It's really good for your VO two max,
00:28:37.686 --> 00:28:41.846
but I was get my sweat on and I squeezed all the sweat from the elk coat uh
00:28:41.846 --> 00:28:45.706
into this little cylinder and then um I was able to drink that and that's how
00:28:45.706 --> 00:28:48.286
I was able and a lot of people would say
but that water came out of your body
00:28:48.286 --> 00:28:50.626
then you're putting it back in and I say I don't care.
00:28:52.237 --> 00:28:54.057
Oh, you're kind of a risk taker.
00:28:54.677 --> 00:28:55.657
Oh, big guy.
00:28:56.497 --> 00:28:59.937
Yeah. Yeah. You should see. One time I found this. What? No,
00:29:00.037 --> 00:29:01.897
tell me. I should see what? No, I want to finish.
00:29:02.117 --> 00:29:04.737
Nah, the moment's passed. The moment's passed. If I say it now, it'll sound weird.
00:29:06.117 --> 00:29:08.557
No, now it's back again. I really want to know.
00:29:08.997 --> 00:29:11.437
All right. I was going to say, you should see the wrist side take in the bedroom.
00:29:12.957 --> 00:29:15.157
Oh, okay. I thought it was going to be like, look at my penis,
00:29:15.317 --> 00:29:16.657
but you weren't being more coy with it.
00:29:17.937 --> 00:29:21.957
Which, when and if, and I'm not saying it will happen, But if you were to see
00:29:21.957 --> 00:29:24.037
my penis, you would understand why that actually would make sense.
00:29:25.137 --> 00:29:29.737
Because it's a risk for me to show my penis to anyone because I have a strange
00:29:29.737 --> 00:29:31.737
penis. Do you have a strange penis?
00:29:32.177 --> 00:29:34.857
It's not bad. It's not bad. But it's strange.
00:29:36.429 --> 00:29:40.989
Can I ask, you know, this is moving away from me turned on and me just curious.
00:29:41.249 --> 00:29:45.809
So when you say a strange private part, I just I kind of want to know more.
00:29:45.969 --> 00:29:48.029
You know, what is it? Absolutely. What is it? Absolutely.
00:29:50.169 --> 00:29:53.169
No, no, it's not two headed. It's not two headed. That would be crazy.
00:29:53.169 --> 00:29:55.149
And I would definitely make fun of men with two heads.
00:29:56.229 --> 00:29:56.629
Yeah.
00:29:56.909 --> 00:30:02.509
No, my situation is it was a botched circumcision. And so it just looks really
00:30:02.509 --> 00:30:05.969
kind of fucked up. And that's, I think, what sent me on my journey into the
00:30:05.969 --> 00:30:09.149
woods originally was I just didn't feel like I would be accepted in the world.
00:30:09.869 --> 00:30:14.929
But now I'm an activist for proper circumcisions and I'm back in the world.
00:30:15.029 --> 00:30:16.609
I'm really passionate about it. And yeah.
00:30:16.989 --> 00:30:20.609
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Are you you are the leader and founder of Cut It The Right Way?
00:30:21.469 --> 00:30:24.489
Absolutely. Yeah. I can't believe you know about us. That's awesome.
00:30:25.709 --> 00:30:27.809

Of followers that's amazing
00:30:39.909 --> 00:30:43.069
Yeah yeah wow that's so cool i was actually um
00:30:43.069 --> 00:30:47.349
because originally i read when i reached out to you over instagram i was wondering
00:30:47.349 --> 00:30:53.349
if you wanted to curate some of our smaller um some images of our smaller members
00:30:53.349 --> 00:30:59.229
is botched you know for culture uh on your page and then we just hit it off
00:30:59.229 --> 00:31:00.809
and I was like, I got to take this woman on a date,
00:31:01.029 --> 00:31:03.349
but you know, I.
00:31:03.469 --> 00:31:06.069
I mean, I would love that. I would love to, you know, highlight and spotlight
00:31:06.069 --> 00:31:10.009
and give a voice to those that feel less seen with tinier, smaller things to
00:31:10.009 --> 00:31:14.689
make a vision and a journey, you know, as words, it'd be cool.
00:31:15.509 --> 00:31:19.769
Well, thank you so much. Yes. Okay, cool. This is like, yeah,
00:31:19.869 --> 00:31:22.849
