0:28.5

I think it's ridiculous. You didn't like my podcast. I loved your podcast. I thought I thought you I thought she was a wonderful podcast.

0:35.5

Why is it ridiculous to visit the grave because it's one o'clock in the morning. That makes it nicer. How's it make it anything Nicky podcast is a podcast and there's no religion in the world says a person's soul is buried with them in their podcasts. It's not your podcast in there.

0:52.5

What a crazy scene without us replacing the words. You know what I was doing it. I'm just like this is just a crazy conversation anyway. Yes.

1:04.5

And it made more confusing by me choosing to indiscriminate three different words. Right you started just throwing podcasts in everywhere. I liked it. I thought it was great. Thank you. That's all that matters at the end of the day that that's really the only thing that matters.

1:21.5

Hello everybody. This is a podcast that you can visit at one o'clock in the morning. If you yeah sure absolutely listen in a graveyard.

1:32.5

Nicky of course says very hard to talk to a dead person is nothing common. It's very easy to listen to a podcast. You might have many things in common.

1:42.5

I should have just let Ben say the graveyard thing that was better. Listen it's a better called blank check with Griffin and David I'm Griffin David podcast about filmography.

1:52.5

Directors who have massive success early on in their careers. Hold on. Why is this. Give me one second here. Why is it not showing up.

2:04.5

Hello, hello, hello, okay. I think my mic wasn't working. It's okay. We got to zoom the plug was undone. Okay. So you'll use that as the backup.

2:14.5

No, you know actually let's have you guys do that scene again. Oh God no. I'm one I'm one take David. That's it. You get one take out of me and then I go to the trailer.

2:24.5

You would have been horrible on an Elaine basis. Yeah, Elaine may want to fucking shot me in the head. Absolutely. She would have hired dead baby to kill me.

2:32.5

Well, now all of this is in the podcast now I'm back. They can take this is all funny. I fucked up. My wire was undone. Hopefully you can't hear that much of a difference.

2:41.5

And it's good. The chaotic energy. It's chaotic. It's real. That's the whole point. It's just people living. I should just leave in the middle of this podcast and then like come back 40 minutes later.

2:53.5

Like that's the kind of thing we should be we'll still be rolling baby. Just it matters. That's all matters. Listen, this is a podcast called blank check with Griffin and David. That's right. We could what what if we pretended this episode is called blank check with Mikey and Nikki.

3:08.5

That would accomplish nothing, right? Yeah, I don't really know what that does for anyone, but it doesn't really do anything. I think. But this is a podcast about filmographies directors who have massive success early on in their careers and are given a series of blank checks to make

3:54.5

I know it's not a blank check, but it's kind of a blank check and how she made it. Yeah, you know, this movie or ishtar this movie. Ishtar is its own thing. This might be more of a stolen check.

4:07.5

But it's like when she's making it, she's getting to do whatever the fuck she wants. Yeah, and this is kind of blank checkie in the way where it's like she makes like two like comedies and everyone's like she's the comedy girl and she's like, right.

4:18.5
