Hey, wonderfuls. Welcome to episode 426 of the podcast with my absolutely marvelous guest, Chris Gethard. We have known each other for many, many years and I am so moved and impressed and inspired by everything that he has achieved and shared with the world.

I hope you love this episode as much as I love recording it. I think you will. I hope you're

looking forward to a good and safe July as we mow her through these boys of summer. Enjoy the

episode. How are you? How am I? I would say I'm pretty good. Pretty good. Yeah. I moved to New Jersey and I have a kid now so those are very happy things. I know you have a kid. I know you have a kid. I know you have a kid. I'm never ever

on social media browsing in any way but somehow I saw a profile picture of you that involved you and a baby and a belly,

a baby belly that seemed extremely cute.

And I wanted to say congratulations. Thanks yeah he's the best so that's

made everything easier you know because been able to hang out every day during this pandemic with a human who doesn't know

anything's wrong and it's a pretty good gift he's giving me and then on top of

it he's pretty cute, those cute things.

That's fantastic.

Your movie, you moved to New Jersey, I feel like I,

I feel like I've just seen you recently because I did watch the and I apologize as a kid from Arizona.

I've already forgotten the name of the treacherous Water Park.

Yeah, action Park. That's the one. So I felt like it was a fun, it was a fun preview, a fun recent

accidental preview to Chris Gethard's teenage years because I could now, I could now drop a excitement that you perhaps experienced while you're at that crazy place.

Yeah, yeah, and I think first of all that documentary they just asked if they could talk to me and I didn't expect it to be anything that's done more. I've gotten like more calls about that than anything in my career since my HBO special which is wild because I'm just

telling jokes about like watching people get mercilessly hurt at a water

park in the in the early 90s but yeah I feel like that place, I think that place is very, very reflective of where I grew up and when I grew up. And I feel like you actually met me when I was young enough and I still had that combination of like

Like half anxiety half anger like a very nice guy most of the time and then all of a sudden would just like fall apart mentally randomly and

I think a lot of it was just growing up there and then when

everything was sort of lawless and no one cared what happened to us.
