| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome back to the show. As you can see, we are home. We are in our studio. It feels good to be back. We just got back from Seattle. We are here for a pretty big weekend for myself. And that's all we're going to say about it, because we're going to talk about it later. Oh, at another date. Okay. It's been a lot. A lot of focus has been on me. |
| 0:21.0 | A whole live show was about me. There was a whole statue that was about me. It's a lot about me. So the Hall of Fame. You think this is tough for you? Please. I happen writing like a lot of speeches. So yeah, I do think it's been harder for me. It has been. I've been like helping a little bit and it's been stressing me out. I know. Have you been helping? This could actually, did we just, did I just stumble upon a bicker? When you get, when I ask you for help and then you get mad at me? Okay, I did that, did how I got a little frustrated at time, but just because I wasn't, you weren't saying exactly we wanted. Actually wanted actually I was and that's what you didn't |
| 0:56.3 | like it you didn't agree okay true well all right we'll save that for therapy we travel back to |
| 1:04.7 | new york which is just like always l-ol I feel like when we traveled together there's just like |
| 1:08.3 | always something this I'm not going to quite elevate this to bicker level but when I've gotten up three times already to go to the bathroom and I'm sitting in the window and the second I... |
| 1:16.6 | in the aisle. That's what I meant. In the aisle and the second I sit down and get myself back comfortable, tap, tap, tap, tap, somebody has to go to the bathroom. Unforgivable. Unforgivable. |
| 1:45.9 | I can't control when I have to... I've gotten up three times already. You know what? You want to why I'm mad? Tell me. Tell me why you're mad. We should actually tell that story in a second. This is why I'm mad. Because, okay, yeah, I didn't notice that you got up. I wasn't monitoring your, you know, |
| 1:46.0 | your frequency to the bathroom probably two of them were you're sleeping exactly I wasn't |
| 1:50.6 | paying attention so then I asked you like oh like hey can I I got to go the bathroom you |
| 1:54.8 | immediately got mad and then you got up and let me out and you could already see somebody was in |
| 1:58.5 | the bathroom so I had to stand in the aisle. |
| 2:07.3 | I didn't even look. I know. What was that about? Didn't even look. Yeah. The long and the short of the story is that one of our friends has two daughters. It was the older daughter's birthday. And so they |
| 2:12.4 | went to lunch or whatever with their bunkal, which is our friend boots. And the older one obviously got a little present, not like a big, like a big doll. A big doll. And the younger one got a smaller doll. And the younger one got a smaller doll. Because, you know, you got to hook the younger one up with a present. I didn't learn that until I had two nieches. Yeah, otherwise, it's fits, right? And just out of nowhere, completely. The waitress came over. Do you want to tell the story? |
| 2:35.7 | Kind of. Well, are you, have that. Do you remember that part, though? Probably not. The waitress, I'm not sure, came over. I was taking orders. That's right. And so I was like, what do you want you? And without being asked, zero prompt, the younger one just looked at the waitress and went, well, I'm mad because, and proceeded to talk about how her doll was smaller and how it wasn't fair and just unloads. So every now and then, we have moments where we go, well, I'm mad because. It's a good, it's a good callback. It's a great great it's a great callback it's a great setup sometimes |
| 3:08.1 | you don't know how to bring stuff up you can just joking and be like well i'm mad because i'm mad |
| 3:11.8 | oh launching in okay um Seattle summer completely delivered that's all I'll say just the weather was |
