If you're a podcast host, listen up. This one's for you. My name is Ali Jackson. I'm the host of Finding Mr. Height, a dating and relationship podcast that I've been doing for four years now, sharing my positive and practical approach to dating that's built on my own life experience. And I wanted to share another experience that I've had, my secret behind monetizing my show. It's called Red Circle, and I was just telling my colleague about how much I love their platform. With Red Circle, not only am I getting a seamless hosting experience, but I also love the support I receive in ad sales. It's not just typical ad sales either. It's targeted opportunities based on my show and my life. And the platform is super simple. You just set your preferences, and Red Circle matches you with sponsors that align with your show. You can vet every opportunity, and their platform gives you great analytics. More recently, too, my Red Circle team has brought me opportunities outside of my podcast on social media to really augment the podcast partnerships. Bring them full circle. I just can't recommend them enough. If you want to give it a try, go to redcircle.com to get your free trial. That's redcircle.com for a free trial.

I forget sometimes I have red hair.
C
It's the reddest hair I've ever seen.

Every morning, you must look in the mirror and go, I have red hair.

Yeah. Remember? Around a lot of white people. Right. And then every night I look in the mirror, I go, look at that.
B
But it's.
C
Look at what's going on there.
B
No, it's positive.
C
It's not. It's pure negative.
B
Koreans are the best.
C
Because I'm not, like, you know, I mean, like, leading man Korean. Those are hot, right?

That someone has to be us.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
And why not us?
C
Or have you? When I look in the mirror naked, when I see my naked body, oh my God. It's pure shock and awe.
B
The dog walked in on me taking a shower. I stepped in the shower and I heard her coming up behind me. Heard her, you know, chain.
C
Yeah.
B
And I go, oh, hey. She then looked up and saw me naked and went and walked out.

Travis Scott. Didn't I say hut, hut?
C
Oh, you did. Oh, yeah. I thought they said straight up.

B
No.
C
Yeah, yeah. Go to the right. Right. Go around me.
B
Yeah.
C
They don't. It's not a move.
B
They're not telling. The other guys are right there.

I know, but it's like him because he's the captain, right?
B
Yeah.
C
He's the leader. The quarterback's the leader. Right.
B
Is the captain.
C
Right. So isn't he going. You know what I mean? Natron, go to the right.
B
No, he doesn't yell out the plays.
C
Oh, he doesn't?
B
Well, then they would know. They're right there.
C
No, but it's their own code word.
B
Well, they do have codes.
C
Yeah.
B
You're halfway.
C
Pelican Town. 260.
B
That's a good play.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Pelican Down. 260 is a play.
C
Downtown Magoo. Turn around.
B
Turn around.
C
Yeah. And then they're like, oh, I got to turn around. I'm going to downtown Magoo. Isn't that what they do?
B
Yeah.
C
Okay. I don't know football. I don't watch that sport. But anyway, you know football. I know the real football, you know? Yeah. And Arsenal won today for one. That's why I'm in a good mood. You beat Aston Villa. And there were three pots. But Lawless, if they had won that game, they would have tied us for number one.
B
Nice try, Aston.
C
Nice try. Ali Al Watkins.
B
Anyway, Aston Villa, by the way, is that a name of a city?
C
No, but it's the same of a football club. It's one of the oldest football.
B
Terrible name.
C
Yeah.
B
Aston Villa.
C
Yeah, That's a symbol.
B
How British does that sound?
C
Aston Villa.
B
I play for Aston Villa.
C
Yeah.
B
How about you? What'd you get for Christmas?
C
Nothing. I'll tell you this. I'm gonna say that. What I was gonna say before because of the dog thing, and then I'll go to the Christmas. I'm a little wired up. Sorry.
B
I like it.
C
Okay, so I love it. Well, there's three things happening.
B
Go.
C
I wanted to say all the things that are happening.
B
Give it.
C
Okay, number one. I. I walked out a movie last night, and it's like. I, I. It's Park Chan Wook, the guy that did Old Boy. He. I think he produced this movie, Korean movie. It's called. I had Google. I.
B
Wait, but you. What, you went to the theater to see.
C
I was. I went to the Grove. You know how busy the Grove is right now, dude, no other choice. Is.
B
No other choice. Turns out you had a few, and.
C
One of them was to leave, and it's. It got. What is the Rotten Tomatoes on it.
B
I never trust tomatoes.
C
99.
B
I don't trust it.
C
I think 99.
B
I just don't trust that it's too. 98. That's way too high.
C
Yeah. So. And it's the guy from Squid Games. Great actor. Beautifully shot. Beautifully shot, Right. It's a dark comedy. The comedy really works. They're just so talented, Right. Koreans didn't know how to do it, but there's one moment. So I'm gonna just tell you. I'm not gonna give any spoilers, okay?
B
No, we're never gonna see this. It doesn't matter.
C
Really.
B
No. Well, I mean, maybe.
C
All right, so this guy, right? The guy to the right, right? Happily married, two kids. He's a paper man. He works. He works for a paper processing plant, and he's been there for 25 years, makes a good living and he gets fired. Okay. From his job.
B
For stealing paper?
C
No, for, you know, the Americans bought the company and they're doing some readjustments.
B
Oh, like that.
C
Yeah. So anyway, there's a point where it's like he won't get a job. Right. So he. They're running out of money, right. So the first thing they do is they get rid of their dogs.
B
What?
C
Yeah, they had two dogs. They're like, we can't feed this whole family. How hard is it to feed a fucking dog?
B
Yeah, that's the weird.
C
It's. It as soon as that happened in the movie, I'm like, I'm out.
B
I'm out.
C
I am out.
B
I'm out.
C
I walked out.
B
You got rid of the dogs?
C
Yeah, yeah. You and the kids are crying.
B
Look.
C
Yeah, it's.
B
It was rid of the kids.
C
I'd rather give one of the kids.
B
They're so much more expensive.
C
They're way more expensive.
B
Yeah.
C
How far, how expensive is dog food?
B
I mean, dude, you can get. You can get like a 50 pound bag from Costco for like 10 bucks.
C
I know, exactly. I mean, they're not going to be the healthiest food for the dog. You can still keep it alive.
B
It'll be a lot. Dude, dogs live on the street. Street dogs.
C
Whenever something like that happens, a movie where I'm like, I wouldn't do that. I have to leave.
B
You know, I saw a thread today. Was it yesterday morning or this morning that pissed me off? Someone was like, I don't care. I'll say, you know, like hot takes, you know, this I hate. And they were like, hot take. I don't care. If you're a dog person, you are stupid. Just accept it. And I was like, what does that even mean? That person, when I say, what does that even mean? It's because I'm stupid and I don't get it.
C
Yeah.
B
Because I'm a dog person.
C
Yeah.
B
I. I don't trust people that don't like dogs.
C
I don't trust.
B
Weirds me. The out.
C
I. I don't trust a president that doesn't have a dog.
B
He's the only one.
C
I know. It's crazy. In history. Yeah. Have a cat. I don't. A gerbil, actually. If he had a honey badger. I don't care what it is.
B
Honey badger would be sick.
C
That'd be sick.
B
I got my little badger here.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's gnawing on Steven Miller's ankle all the time. Yeah, yeah.
B
Donald, come get your honey badger. I have to go to school and bring my honey badger.
C
Yeah, you have to. Yeah.
B
I. I don't get it. You got to have some kind of animal.
C
Yeah. Here's another TikTok video that I can't watch when they start of a. I don't know. Who needs to hear this? Nobody. Nobody needs to hear what you're saying because you're all shit.
B
You don't know shit.
C
We don't care about your opinion. You're a regular guy.
B
You're a regular guy.
C
You know what I mean?
B
It's like you're a regular guy.
C
Degrassi, the scientist guy. Yeah, yeah.
B
What are we talking? Oh, Neil, Neil.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
I thought you talked about the TV show.
C
No, whatever.
B
Neil Degrass Tyson.
C
Yeah, yeah. Negro grass. Yeah. I mean, if he says I don't need, I don't. Then I'll go, Oh, I think I'm gonna. I. I want to hear his opinion about this. Yeah. Or anyone professional like Scott Galloway.
B
Now let me pause on Scott Galloway.
C
No, don't pause on him. He play.
B
He says some. That I'm like, I know, I love it. Are you talking.
C
I'm reading his book right now.
B
He does this whole skip about, like, you know, people are drinking less than they've ever drank and they're having less sex and men aren't talking to women and all this. It's like, I don't.
A
Is that true?
B
How do we know that's true?
C
It's called statistics, my friend.
B
Who's filling out those forms. What the do you mean in the.
C
Midwest, they do it where they pull.
B
People on the street and they go, who's. Yeah, I don't.
C
They don't do it in Studio City because I've been around, you know, here's what.
B
I don't buy it. We're friends with a young man here. What's your name again? McCone.
C
Yeah.
B
This guy, he's in the height of his 20s. He's in the. In the center of it.
C
He's not a normal.
B
He's.
C
I know, but he's. He's not an average white dude.
B
He is the most average looking white dude I've ever seen.
C
You don't get about this McCone guy, right? He's a shifter. He's. He's. He's got the gift of gab, you know? I mean, he's slimy.
B
Slimy.
C
He's got Hollywood quality.
B
What is. And then what's.
C
To have him, when I first met him, to just directly walk up to me and talk business is insane behavior. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, a little mover and shake. Or this little one. And then he gets into gear, moves up. He's a climber.
B
You want to fire him?
C
No, I love him.
B
Okay.
C
He's like a pesky little brother.
B
Yeah, yeah.
C
So he stays. But what I'm saying is I'm on to you. But he's not a normal, you know, I mean, average 20 something year old man.
B
All his friends are.
C
Yeah, because they're not. Have you met them?
B
Yeah, yeah, half of them are.
C
But the ones that he has in Minnesota, those ones, they're not.
B
Yes, they are.
C
No, I met them.
B
What do you mean?
C
They don't even talk. They're comatose. They're like catatonic. They're like totem poles. Whenever you introduce me to them, they're like.
B
Well, they are.
C
They're big fans of you. They're not big fans, dude. Smile then.
B
Do you ever. Do you ever tell someone to meet you at a nice spot and you never show up?
C
No.
B
You've never done that?
C
No.
B
That's like a move that people do where they bail on a date.
C
Yeah, I can't do that. I don't. I've never ghosted anybody on a date.
B
If you've been ghosted, though.
C
Oh, yeah.
B
Yeah. See, that's why it burns. It hurts, huh?
C
Yeah.
B
But you still remember the person. I bet you it sits in your memory bank.
C
You know, it keeps deep in my soul.
B
You know who did it? Yeah. That's why they do it.
C
I think you know that. You know somebody that did to me.
B
Do I know who it is?
C
Do you?
B
No. I'm asking you, do I know who they are?
C
Yeah.
B
No. What the fuck? Who's on first?
C
Who's on second?
B
I don't know, dude.
C
Hut.
B
Straight up. Straight up.
C
You straight up.
B
Wait, wait. Who did it to you?
C
Me. Bickel room, back dash.
B
Got it. There will be a college football team that uses bickel room back dash.
C
Yeah, back dash. You know what I mean?
B
Bickel room, back dash.
C
Up the straight.
B
Straight up.
C
And then the wide receiver knows what to do.
B
He does.
C
And he does a little bickle room like move.
B
If you're a college football player of any kind, please use a bad friends call at the line.
C
Yeah.
B
And let us know.
C
Bickel room, back dash.
B
What are you doing? How to properly yell as a quarterback.
C
Yeah, there's like a specific.
B
Blue 42.
C
I got one. I would do this. I would close this One and open this one.
B
Sing along.
C
Yeah. Yeah, that's a good one. Give me one.
B
Air lick.
C
Don't do this. Don't be hacky about it. Come up with your own.
B
Imagine if you saw a quarterback at the line and you went 4, 4, 9.
C
And I would know what that is. Slither, slither, slither, slither. Around the defensive linebacker.
B
That's a slither play, that is.
C
Yeah. Ye.
B
Yeah, that is. Oh, it's a hook route.
C
Yeah, it's a hook route. D on both sides, though.
B
Yeah. Double hook.
C
One hook route is a single hook. Yeah, yeah, single hook. Yeah, Single hook is one side. You know what I mean? That'd be fun to come up with.
B
You should coach a team, dude.
C
It'd be great.
B
Let us coach your local team. Yeah, we should just co. We should coach like a intramural team. We should have a bad friend's interm.
C
And the thing which would be. Some of my coaching would be direct like that. It's exactly what it means.
B
Tourette's.
C
Yeah. Headbutt the guy twice. It's exactly what that means. There's no hidden agenda. Right. I just hit butt. You know what I mean?
B
It looks like you have water in your ear. Oh, there it is.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right in the face.
B
Finger. Yeah.
C
Flick in the face. Right. And then some of them would be like. You know what I mean? Not obvious.
B
A little bit more secretive.
C
Yeah. What is that? What.
B
What was that?
C
Flick of the nose. And focus.
B
Oh, hey, boog head.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what that is.
B
I get that.
C
Yeah. I think we should do it.
B
I'll do it.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
I would love to. We'll draw up some place.
C
Yeah.
B
Knowledge of football is there.
C
Plays in baseball.
B
Yeah. I mean, that's a hard. It's not the same.
C
It's harder.
B
Well, there's. There's. There's signals from coach at this. You know, like, you know, signals. They do that. The third base.
C
Yeah, but what does that all mean?
B
Well, they're signaling to the runner the next move at what the. What the batter is going to do.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
To swing. Swing away or to take the pitch or. Or just try to steal the base or just look. Well, there's a bunch of different signals there, but they all have different signs. Signs?
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Pitch. These are pitch calls.
C
Wow, that's amazing.
B
They don't do this.
C
They use an older hand.
B
Is that my hand? That's my hand. I'm not kidding. That's.
C
That's the oldest head I'VE ever seen.
B
I have an old hand.
C
So this is something upside down piece.
B
Yeah.
C
This twice. Yeah. They gotta get more creative, Dan.
B
Well, they only have your hand. You have one hand.
C
I know, but you could still, you know. What about this move?
B
No, because this one has a mitt. One has a mitt on it.
C
Oh, it's a mitt. Right?
B
Catcher has one mitt on. Right.
C
And then do they do this?
B
Yeah.
C
Meaning catch it.
B
Pitcher does that.
C
Catch the ball then. You know what I mean?
B
That's from the pitcher.
C

B
Wait, you did?
C
Yep. On Carvana. Just put in the license plate, answered a few questions, got an offer in minutes. Easier than setting up that new digital picture frame. You don't say.
B
Yeah, they're even picking it up tomorrow.
C
Talk about fast. Wow. Way to go. So, about that picture frame. Ah, forget about it. Until Carvana makes one, I'm not interested.

Wow.
B
Would you be a pitcher or a catcher?
C
Oh, I'd be a catcher.
B
Yeah, I know.
C
I catch.
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah. I don't pitch.
B
I'm a pitcher.
C
Yeah, I know you are, dude.
B
Yeah.
C
And like, catching your balls, my favorite thing to do. Yeah. What if somebody has, like, Tourette's all of a sudden? Not Tourette's, but, like, goes into a seizure? That'd be fun.
B
That'd be terrible.
C
Yeah. But he's going, right? And, you know, and he's like. I don't know what to do.
B
You know what? The batter. The batter.
C
They see the coach. You know what I mean? And looking at like. I don't know what move that is, but I'll try.
B
Swing away.
C
Yeah.
B
So go away.
C
What do you think?
B
Yeah, that's gotta.
C
That's.
B
That feels like. That's in movie. I feel like that's Daniel Stern.
C
Yeah.
B
Little big league or whatever.
C
Yeah. I feel like gang members could probably do it.
B
Well, hey, steal 30. Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
Throw up some.
C
Yeah. Yeah. Hey, dude, you know me do this move, right?
B
Well, you know, they have gangs. They have. Not gangs, but, I mean, like, in prisons they have, like, intramural leagues. In prison. The longest yard, man.
C
Yeah.
B
Well, let's not throw any of these up.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
Wait, let me see. Compton Crip.
C
This one I can do. I like.
B
I don't think we should do these.
C
Why?
B
On the air?
C
Yeah.
B
It's probably a bad idea.
C
Yeah. But this means different than whatever that means. This means antlers.
B
Sure. Deer.
C
Gang or hunters? Get the antlers.
B
Dude, deer.
C
I mean. Yeah. What are you. Yeah.
B
Japanese girl. Gang.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean?
B
I like. I'm not gonna lie. The hand signals for gangs are incredible.
C
They're incredible.
B
You see them throw them up. You love them. Oh, geek gang. What is that?
C
Yeah, geek gang signs. Now, how can you take okie dokie and turn into a gain sign? That sucks. Like, because if you're, like, seeing a guy, you're going, hey, hey, Bobby, I'm going to go to the gym, right? And I go, okie dokie. That's what I'm saying. It's unfair.
B
Yeah, it's not. You can't. They stole it.
C
Can't do okie dokie anymore because it's a gangster. Well, yeah, yeah.
B
You know.
C
Okay, I know, I know. I understand. I understand it.
B
A lot of things have been taken over.
C
Yeah, that's true.
B
A lot of things have been taken.
C
They're just like the swastika.
B
That was ours.
C
No, that was Indonesian, Right? It was like Buddhist or more.
B
Well, it means peace.
C
It means peace, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, it's so crazy.
B
The marketing is great on the swastika.
C
I mean, because to take. To take peace and turn it into a symbol of hate, it's like taking the peace sign now and turning into hate.
B
Well, it's almost poetic. You're taking something that means peace and turning into absolute hate. Which is kind of odd. How?
C
Good marketing.
B
That's all phenomenal.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Good team over there in Germany. So check it out, where we're branding, we're going to rebrand the peace symbol. Hitler. I love it. Now give me some fucking method.
C
Yeah, they did a lot of math.
B
He loved math.
C
Yeah, a lot of them did.
B
What would. If you had terminal cancer and you're on your way out, would you do. Would you ride the horse? Would you do heroin?
C
I mean, I would do what the doctor prescribed, but much more.
B
You wouldn't go street? Street drugs?
C
I might. I don't know, dude. I might want to face it head on, clear.
B
Death.
C
Yeah. What's so funny?
B
Carlos does not want to face it.
C
Like Ram Dass says, I don't want to face traffic. Oh, that's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But don't you want to be in the present moment of death?
B
No. I don't know. Well, I definitely don't want to die in my sleep.
C
A Jane Goodall.
B
That's a huge fear.
C
She died in her sleep.
B
The ape woman? Yeah, she did.
C
Yeah.
B
I thought she died from an ape. Wasn't she?
C
Well, ape was next to her.
B
I don't know.
C
I don't know if she sleeps with them, but I think she died in her sleep.
B
Now, famous people die in their sleep. James Gandolfini, John Candy, Heath Ledger, Bernie Mac, Britney Murphy, Jerry Garcia, Reggie White.
C
Wow.
B
William Howard.
C
Why not die in your sleep?
B
I want to know what's coming. Oh, like, when I die, I want to go, okay, that's happening.
C
Oh, I see.
B
I don't want to go to bed and being like, what a great day.
C
Yeah.
B
Honk, chew, honk, shoe. And then I. And I never wake up.
C
Wow.
B
I want to be alive when I'm dead.
C
Hey, no, dude.
B
You want to be sleep.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Well, you sleep so much, it's gonna happen from a percentage perspective.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Like, it has to for you.
C
Yeah.
B
By the way, I talked to a buddy today who says that he's gone up north and eaten reindeer before.
C
Oh, my God.
B
No, he says they're awesome.
C
This guy does.
B
What?
C
You don't eat reindeer dog.
B
What do you mean? You can eat reindeer meat again? No, it looks good. It's like.
C
It's too gamy, probably.
B
No, he said it was actually pretty good because it was. Because it's fatty, right? Because it's so cold. They have to eat a lot to stuff up for the winter. So it's. It's. It's fattier than.
C
Oh, that does look delicious. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
It's fatty.
C
I think. I think a Rudolph and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Well, no Rudolph.
C
You can't eat Rudolph.
B
Somebody did.
C
Oh, no. Somebody did.
B
Reindeer meat. See?
C
It looks good.
B
Dude, that's like. I told you when I was in Australia and I had kangaroo. Phenomenal. I loved it. The guy was like, yeah, you might not like it, mate. And I was like, I'll try it. We went to, like, a little bar, restaurant thing, and I was kind of like, I'll have a couple bites. Ate the whole thing.
C
Wow.
B
It was delicious.
C
Wow.
B
But they needed. They need to get rid of them because they outnumber kangaroos, outnumber Australians. Like, what is it? It's crazy. I think it's like three to one or something bonkers like that.
C
How much could you charge for Rudolph's nose to eat if you actually caught Rudolph, right? And you're like, you know, Rudolph has one nose. And it's probably original because it's red. Bright red.
B
Yeah.
C
You could probably eat it. Well, you're right.
B
I'm sure you could lick it or.
C
You could boil it or something.
B
What do you think it would taste like?
C
I don't know, I mean, probably delicious, like candy cane and just a sugar. Like a sugary meat, like a Korean, you know, I. Meat that's been like. You know what I mean? What do you call it?
B
Marinated.
C
Marinated. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Marinate that.
C
You could probably charge a million dollars for Rudolph's nose.
B
Well, it's one nose. You'd have to charge way more than that. It's only one.
C
Yeah. Or Daffy ducks like beak. How much could you charge for that? Oh, my God. Daffy Duck beat. Oh, right. What do you think?
B
Yeah.
C
Yeah.
B
Be so expensive.
C
Yeah. Tinkerbell wing. Oh, just Tinkerbell wing, dude. It's not a filling. No, but you could probably charge a good 20 grand for one wing.
B
The delicacy.
C
It's a delicacy. Yeah.
B
What about a Mickey Mouse here? Oh, just one ear.
C
One ear of Mickey Mouse here.
B
Oh, my God.
C
Oh, my. I mean, a lot of people would be upset.
B
So what?
C
Right?
B
Oh, God.
C
But what if Mickey's walking around with one ear? You know what I mean? See, we didn't kill him. We just took the ear.
B
Just one ear.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
Big deal. Yeah.
C
Some Korean guy in a red hat guy took my ear. I was sleeping.
B
Say that again. I can't hear you. What? Oh, yeah, good one. Okay. What is that? Kangaroos. Oh, yeah. It's one to two for every person. Yeah. There's too many of them. There's.
C
Okay. It's crazy. There's too many Chinese. We don't eat them. That'd be good.
B
Well, is that like the old slogan, eat the rich? It's just eat the Chinese, dude. We went out. We were out.
C
What'd you do?
B
And we're out in the mountains and there was literally no snow up in Utah. It was crazy to me when you say we, who? My wife and my. Well, and her family. Great.
C
What are you. I'm not accusing you of anything.
B
Well, you say, like, who was I with? I was with the whole.
C
Well, you could have been with your family as well.
B
Oh, yeah. We switch years. We do the. This year. That year. This year.
C
Well, that's all I wanted to know. What year was it?
B
Which were. It's their year. You're right. But we're no longer doing that again. I think. I think every year from now on we're going to do double downs.
C
You got to double down it, dude.
B
Yeah, I think I got it. My parents are getting older, so I got to do it. I want to see him more often. But we went up there to Utah and it Was no snow. And I didn't care. I wasn't going to ski this year. But my God, you feel bad. These people that, like, go up there their whole year, they wait to go up there, they get their kids, they spend all this money going to vacation. No snow. It's rain.
C
You can't sticky.
B
Oh, there's almost. No, there was almost. Yeah. You can't ski without snow.
C
Yeah, that's what they say.
B
It's a big component.
C
Yeah. Why can't you water ski?
B
The legs are frozen.
C
Oh, there are.
B
Yeah.
C
Oh, this is double.
B
You could ice skate.
C
There we go. Why can't you do that?
B
I would love to ice skate with you.
C
I'm pretty good.
B
Yeah.
C
Well, don't bake. Oh, you know what? I fall, you laugh, it'll be the end.
B
I would love to go ice skating.
C
I'd love to go ice skating with you as well.
B
Speed skating, though. We would race.
C
Can you ice skateboard? Okay. I can, too.
B
No.
C
We'll see.
B
Is that Minnesota in you? Getting you. That still got you.
C
We shall see. We shall see. Dude, I hate your challenging vibes because he's Mr. Sporting Guy. What's going on here?
B
That's speed skating.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
I can't do that, but we should try. How funny would we be in those outfits? Oh, that'd be so funny with those long blades on.
C
Yeah.
B
Look at the Winter Olympics are coming up. Ask us to host something. Winter Olympics?
C
Yeah.
B
Where is it at again this year? Where's the Winter Olympics? In Italy, I think. In like, Milan, maybe. Milan. How cool. Invite us. NBC.
C
Remember Leslie Jones did what?
B
Look at these. Skiing in this?
C
No, but was. Didn't she do like that? Brazil or.
B
Damn, these girls got big old ass. Back to you.
C
Yeah.
B
That's such a crazy pick to host the Olympics. Yeah. There she is with Al Roker.
C
Yeah.
B
Yeah. This is. You know, by the way, this is my petition for comedians to not host anything ever again.
C
What?
B
We're not right for this. We try to do these things.
C
Yeah.
B
It's insane.
C
It's insane.
B
Why are we doing this?
C
Also, you have to edit yourself and.
B
You want to make so many inappropriate jokes.
C
Yeah.
B
Can't say anything.
C
You can't say anything.
B
By the way, we rewrote. That makes me. We just watched the. We were talking to a friend at the house and we were talking about vegetarian meals, like giving you farts, you know, And Portlandia had, like, the best sketch of all time. They go to a vegan restaurant. Have you ever seen this? No. And while they're in the middle of it. The woman's like, we noticed some flatulation. Would you like to go on our fart patio? Yeah, there's a patio just for people that are farting and they're in full conversation as they're farting.
C
Yeah.
B
It's so dumb. If you do need to flatulate, we have a designated area. Wait, what? So dumb.
C
Dude.
B
Dude, Fart patio is brilliant. Wow. A little mustard seed apple.
C
For some reason.
B
They are two of maybe the funniest. That show was so funny. Yeah, it was, like, ahead of its time.
C
It was really good.
B
It was so good.
C
I love him.
B
Armisen.
C
Oh, yeah.
B
I think she's brilliant, too. I mean, they're both geniuses as a person. Oh, I don't know her. Famous guy drop. Oh, Fred And I wait off. I like him because I know him.
C
No, that's not what it is. Was I. Is that what I was doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What? I can't say. Oh, let's do a do over.
B
Dude, this is so funny.
C
Let's do a do over.
B
I do it and he's like. He doesn't use it.
C
There's not a difference between Fred Armisen, a comedian. Right. That we all know. Right. SNL or Taylor Swift. Different. Different. Yeah.
B
I've never brought. I don't bring it up. You bring it up.
C
Yeah, but. And I love to bring it up.
B
You name drop.
C
I don't think so. Yeah, you do. I don't think so. Was that honest? Let's.
B
Let's analyze you name drop people. Yes, you do.
C
Aside from that, where have I name dropped? Kiedis, you know, Michael Bay, you know who. From the. The meeting. The men's meeting.
B
Yeah. Dude, you name drop all the time. Stop it. Stop it.
C
So do you, though?
B
No.
C
Yeah, you do.
B
No. Who. What do I do? You just name drop when I tell you in private.
C
Somebody told me a story. I don't want to bring it up.
B
Go ahead, do it.
C
No, I don't want to do it. Oh, I was at a restaurant and Bateman was there with Jennifer Aniston and this and that. Right?
B
You brought that story up on this show.
C
No, not out loud, but.
B
So I just said I tell you in private, and then you bring it up on the show. I literally just said that.
C
Yeah, but I'm just saying that.
B
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
C
The act of name dropping is something that you do.
B
Okay, so time out. You name drop in private way more than me when we just don't talk about it on the show.
C
I don't name drop at all, dude.
B
Yes, you do.
C
All right, so let's get this over.
B
Obsessed with celebrity.
C
Oh, God, Portlandia. I love that show. I don't know, Fred.
B
That's what you should have said.
C
Is that what I should have said?
B
Well, I just said he's a genius. And you go, he's a great guy. Yeah, like. Like, I know him. He's a guy. I know. We were saying.
C
I don't know. Well, I did a movie with them, like, six months ago.
B
Another drop. Another drop. I did a movie six months ago. I work you, dude.
C
Is that what it is?
B
Yes, it is.
C
You know what? I don't like that about myself. I'm never gonna do it again.
B
What was the name of the movie? Is it Out?
C
Green Days Movie. Yeah.
B
Oh, right. That's a huge one.
C
Yeah.
B
No, there's a lot of people in that. Yeah, like, a ton of people are in this movie.
C
Yeah. So what's it called? New Year's Rev right now.
B
When does it come out?
C
I don't know.
B
They missed their opportunity. It's New Year.
C
Maybe next New Year's. Maybe next to yours.
B
But I see a lot of clips going viral, by the way, from our. Our good friend Logic's movie that you were in.
C
Oh, yeah.
B
I like a lot of clips on the. Have you seen this on the Internet? A lot of them are being bounced around, particularly the conversation with him and his father, because his dad is a crazy character.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm barely in that. I have no lines.
B
Shout out Logic, though. We love him.
C
I have no lines in it. I love Logic.
B
He's a great dude.
C
Yeah, Yeah.
B
I was on the Two. I was on tour when you guys were filming that thing. I wish I could have come up there.
C
Well, you know, what happened was I. Spokane.
B
Where was it?
C
I had a bigger role. I showed up. I had Covid.
B
Oh, that's right.
C
Right. And they go, you can't show up on set. I go, what do I do? They're like, just stay. So I stayed in this hotel room for, like, five days.
B
I remember. You were stuck. That's right.
C
And then I was flying out, and they're like, can you just be this kind of background guy since you're here?
B
Call Santino. Background guy. Right here. Background guy.
C
So I just kind of did it. But, you know, I love Logic a lot.
B
No, he's a great dude. Yeah.
C
Yeah, he's a great dude.
B
You got so much work lined up on the horizon, Bob. I'm so Proud of you. No, I do. No, I don't.
C
Well, you. You decline work.
B
Decline work.
C
Yeah, you do.
B
No, I don't. There's nothing comes my way.
C
The stuff that I'm in is bad. I still do it.
B
You should read it first.
C
I don't read it.
B
If it's bad, don't do it.
C
But it. I just do.
B
Well, you. How about this guy?
C
Red Karate, Ghost.

B
If she was in my seat? Yeah, I'd be like, oh ma', am, I think you're in my seat.
C
But would she get.
B
Okay, you're the drunk white lady.
C
So I'm sorry, but, you know, I paid for a seat, too.
B
Okay.
C
And I just kind of. I sat here first.
B
Oh, you sat there first?
C
Yeah, I got on first, and you were a little late, so I'm. I'm just gonna sit here, and you can sit wherever I'm sitting.
B
No. Okay, so here's the deal. Yeah, that's my seat I paid for. I'd like to. Oh, you don't want to move?
C
I don't think I'm gonna. Because I can't get here first.
B
Oh, you got here first.
C
Yeah.
B
Are you a little intoxicated, ma'? Am?
C
Yeah, I've drank some brandy.
B
Well, how about this? You go to the back of the plane to your seat where you belong, and I'll give you drinks the whole flight.
C
I'm. I'm not moving.
B
I'll give you drinks all flight.
C
Hey, Red. Can I call you you?
B
Red, Please.
C
You freak.
B
Whoa.
C
You're redheaded. Freak of nature.
B
Listen here, Connie Chung.
C
Are you racist?
B
Yeah.
C
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
B
Listen, you.
C
What army is going to remove me from my seat? The Red Mermaid?
B
The ice army.
C
They did eventually kick her out.
B
You got it. It's insane.
C
But here's what I don't get, though. It was a white lady.
B
Okay?
C
Right. It could be other races.
B
You better not attack the whites.
C
I know. What I'm saying is there was an entitlement in the video, which bothered me.
B
That white women all are entitled.
C
No, I'm not saying that. I just. She just happened to be. But. But when it's mixed with white, it. It's a little bit more bothersome to me.
B
Right?
C
No, actually, it was any other race, it would be bothering.
B
You would find a thing to be bothered by it no matter.
C
Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. But I just wanted to, like, gouge her eyes out.
B
She's like, I'm not gonna.
C
Yeah, I'm not moving. It's like I bought a coach seat. Go back. You know what I mean?
B
Oh, well. Or go. Hey, you can have it. Just pay me the difference in the fare.
C
Oh, that's. Yeah, that's.
B
And I'll go sit in my seat. Just give me the cash if you got it.
C
Yeah, yeah, I'll go do that. You would do that? I don't think so.
B
If they had a cash.
C
No.
B
Be a fun story.
C
Yeah. You're flying to Australia.
B
I mean.
C
Yeah. Yeah.
B
Insane.
C
Insane.
B
I don't even know. I could do that flight again.
C
Like. I know.
B
I love it down there. That's so. It was so long. It was it's so long. You feel like you wasted a port part of your life. Like, when you land, you're like, I think I'm much older now.
C
We want to flight together, and you both first class. I never saw you the whole time.
B
Yeah, 15 hours.
C
Yeah, 15. We never even saw each other the whole time.
B
Oh. Because it's exhausting.
C
And then Burr was on the fly, right?
B
Oh, yeah. Bill was on.
C
Yeah, yeah. On a flight. And then it's like, I saw him one time. He was going to the bathroom, and I saw him get up, go to the bedroom so I can say hi.
B
You got up to say hi?
C
Yeah. I didn't have to pee or anything. I just say, I'm gonna wait in line of the bathroom. When he gets up, I want to say hi.
B
That sounds so creepy. I didn't have to pee. I just wanted to say hi because.
C
I knew that what was gonna happen, this plan's gonna, like. Because he was in front of me, right? Yeah. That he was gonna. You know. He gets an escort.
B
Yeah.
C
A group of people go, come on, this way.
B
You know, I mean, it is funny how he does. We.
C
We don't.
B
We would never get it.
C
We don't have an escort. But he has.
B
Carlos gets escorts.
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Different kinds. Yeah. Yeah. But so I waited. He got out, and then I said, oh, I was surprised too, Bill. I go, bill, what's going on?
B
So nerdy.
C
Hey, buddy, what's going on? You know, I. You know what I mean? But I purposely did that.
B
You've never done that to say hi to Bill?
C
No, just in general. Like, oh, got up putting stuff. Okay.
B
But I can't. But I can't believe I haven't shared this story.
C
Tell me.
B
You want the biggest name drop of all.
C
Tell me.
B
I think I told you, child in the middle, I got to meet somebody for five seconds.
C
I know who it is.
B
I told you, didn't I?
C
I knew it was about to happen. You never told me that you actually did it.
B
I did it. I met President Obama.
C
That's amazing. Wow.
B
It was insane. My buddy who's friends with him was like, hey, man, when are you back in town from Vegas? And I was like, oh, Monday night. He's like, do you think you can come see me on Tuesday? I was like, why? He's like, I'm playing golf with Obama. And I was like, no. He's like, I swear to God. And I was like, well, what. What? I mean, what am I gonna do? Like, say. Say hi. And he's like, yeah. If you'd like, I'll introduce you. You. So I go over there.
C
Are you wearing a golf uniform?
B
No, I'm just dressed nice.
C
Okay.
B
Because I'm not playing or nothing. But I go over there to say. I go over there to say hi, and they're done, and I'm kind of, like, hanging around. And this was, like, a moment in time that blew my mind. He was, like, walking around the Secret Service. They're done. They're about to leave. And he. You know, the Secret Service is everywhere. It's crazy. And my buddy sees me, makes eye contact, act. Because I told him. I said, dude, if it's not a thing, don't worry. I don't need to. I don't want to bother you.
C
Enforce the situation.
B
No. And I don't want to make him be like, what?
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
Gives a. About you.
C
Who gives a. Yeah, yeah.
B
And then he looked at me, made eye contact, and he went like this. And then. I'm not kidding, dude.
C
Well, your friend did that.
B
Yeah, he saw me.
C
I thought Barack did that. No, Dave. No, I should have.
B
On. Dave, your mind is going to be blown.
C
Go ahead.
B
Because he. He goes like this, and he, like, ushers him to me, which was like. I was almost laughing. He's like, ushering him towards me, like, around people. Like, people are kind of waiting quietly. And he goes, I would like to introduce you to a buddy of mine, Andrew Santino, comedian, Chicago, Illinois. And I said. I loaded this up. I said, Mr. President, it's an honor to meet you. And he goes, I know who this guy is. And I was like, get the fuck out of here. He literally goes, I know who this guy is.
C
Now, how does my Fred Armisen story. Fucking compare to that dude? Are you out of your mind? Fuck off.
B
It was so good. Oh.
C
Oh, my God.
B
We chatted about Chicago for five seconds, and I said, it's an absolute pleasure and an honor to meet you, and I don't want to waste any more of your time.
C
You said that?
B
Yeah.
C
Oh, my God.
B
I said, it's an. That's a pleasure and an honor to meet you.
C
Yeah.
B
Don't want to waste anything.
C
And now. Were you nervous?
B
No, because it was kind of like he was his. He's extremely disarming. He's so, like. Even though he is, you know, this.
C
Figure, he's a historical figure.
B
No, but I'm saying, he's so cool.
C
It's like meeting John Adams or. Or, you know what I mean? Or like, you know, Paul Revere.
B
Yeah.
C
I met Paul Revere. Like, who could say that? You know?
B
I mean, it's like meeting Obama.
C
He was so fast on the horse, you know? I mean, I barely met him there. He goes by Paul.
B
I met the horse. I met the horse.
C
What?
B
Just meet the horse.
C
Yeah, yeah. Just meet the horse. Yeah, yeah.
B
No, he. He was very cool. Just his vibe. He was cool. He was very nice. He wasn't like. It didn't feel heavy.
C
I mean, it's like the difference.
B
Yeah.
C
You know what I mean? Of caliber.
B
Well, we're not friends. I just got to say hello to the man.
C
I know, but the situations that you're in are so much different than situation you. I mean, I would like trolls and stuff. That's who.
B
I mean, if you weren't such a fucking recluse, it may be if you got up, get out and did something, you'd meet people.
C
Okay. But anyway, so. Wow. And then you shook his hand.
B
Yeah.
C
Soft.
B
He dapped me up.
C
Oh, dude. That's the real.
B
Right?
C
Is that the real. That's a good stuff. What's up?
B
But you have to be introduced.
C
What?
B
If you're pumped. If you're introduced to by another. By a black person.
C
Oh, your friend was black.
B
Oh, did you assume he was white?
C
Yeah. Is it somebody that we know? Something I know, too.
B
You definitely don't know this guy.
C
Okay.
B
Is this because you don't have any black friends? Is that what this is?
C
I have black friends, all white.
B
In your machine, the guy who. You called him, like, Dasani Jones. You didn't even know his name. You were like Josani Jones. It's like, what the.
C
All right. Anyway. Wow. That's a really. That's a life experience that, you know, it was.
B
Honestly, it was a. It was a moment in my day where I was like, this is maybe.
C
It's incredible.
B
Yeah.
C
Congratulations.
B
Four seconds of time. And I literally said, I don't want to waste any more time.
C
Yeah.
B
He was like, oh, man, we gotta go. It's all.
C
It's all good. Yeah.
B
But he chatted about Chicago for a hot second.
C
I mean, I had RFK Jr. On tiger belly. That's the farthest I think I'll go politically. It's a pleasure to meet you. Yeah, that's what it was.
B
But, no, it was incredible moment in my life.
C
Wow.
B
Honestly, it was like one of those things. I was off.
C
Awesome.
B
Just got to. All I want to do is say hi to the guy. Like, hey, man.
C
Wow.
B
It was cool.
C
Yeah. And then when you on the Drive home. What were you thinking?
B
I called. Well, I called my parents. Yeah, it's. It was cool. It was a cool moment in time. It was one of those congratulations.
C
Yeah.
B
It stays with me.
C
It's huge.
B
And you know what the best part was?
C
Yeah. No photo.
B
That's so funny. You knew what I was going to say. It was great because some people were kind of trying to maybe get a picture.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
And I was like, he's not going to like that. So they shut it down. Like, not him, but other people were like, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, yeah. Don't. Don't do. No, no, no.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
Enjoy the moment. He doesn't want.
C
He gets pictures probably up the kazoo.
B
Well, think about this. People take photos of him everywhere he is.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
So you know how many times in public he sees someone like, yeah, yeah. How many people do that all day?
C
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B
So, like, enjoy the moment.
C
And it's a memory.
B
I was nervous at the very beginning, and then he disarms you. You know what it made me feel like? You know when you're like. When someone's like someone, you get nervous before you go on stage and you go, well, I'm anxious. I'm not, like, nervous. I'm just, like, excited.
C
Yeah.
B
I kind of get like. Like, I want to jump out of fucking skin.
C
Sure.
B
And the moment you get on and say something, it's, like, gone. You know what I mean? Like, the anxiety, like, is gone. When you start doing the job that we do, it felt the same way. And then he got to me, and it was like. Like, this is going to sound corny, but you do get why some people get that kind of status. You talk to a guy for five seconds, you're like, I get it. This guy's.
C
Oh, yeah, yeah.
B
He's got all.
C
You're born with it.
B
He's got all the pieces. It figured it out.
C
You got to have the pieces.
B
By the way, I bet you'd feel that way about any president you'd ever meet.
C
There's a reason.
B
Yeah, dude.
C
Yeah, yeah.
B
To get there.
C
To get there is crazy. That's the prime level in terms of politics.
B
Any president you would meet, you'd go, oh, this. Except for Ford. Yeah, yeah, Ford. Dude, get nerd.
C
Yeah.
B
No, no, you would. You'd feel the same way about anybody.
C
Wow.
B
Yeah. It was wild. I thought I told you.
C
No, I knew you called.
B
I told. Told you I was going to have maybe.
C
No, you were on your way to go.
B
Right. I was telling you. I was going, you're not going to.
C
Believe where I'm going.
B
But I did say to you. I did say, I bet I won't get to meet him.
C
Yeah. But then I said to you, make sure you call me after you do it. And you never did. I called my.
B
I called everybody else.
C
Yeah, I know, but. Yeah, but I'm the one that would have been like, wow.
B
Why do you think I held it?
C
For this?
B
Yeah. For the show.
C
Okay. Wow. I knew you were going. He goes, I remember.
B
He goes, hey, where's Bobby?
C
No, he never did that.
B
How amazing. If. Dude, also, when he said, I know this guy, I thought, I got this. He's definitely got to be plugged into the Internet world. His kid's a director. His daughter's a director, right?
C
Yeah.
B
Aren't they both in the business?
C
Yeah, yeah. Malia is.
B
Yeah, the director. Yeah, dude, they're plugged in.
C
Well, I just did a show that they produced.
B
Yeah, they're plugged in, man. Yeah, they know what's good. I mean, he was. Yeah, he knows.
C
And I literally thought, you know, I mean, when I got the offer for the show, they go, the Obamas are producing it. And I go, I'm in. I'm doing it. It's an offer. They go, yeah. And I show up out in the fucking nowhere land and thinking that they're gonna be there. They're gonna be there.
B
It'd be cool if they did.
C
I know, but they're not gonna be there. I just showed up. It was just like a regular shoot with regular people.
B
Oh, my God. Gifts, Gifts, Gifts. Gifts. Gifts. Gifts. Jingle. Whoa.
C
Oh, dude. So what is. This is what they were talking about? Yeah, it works. Just wi fi anywhere.
B
You know what the best part about this is? We bought these.
C
No, you didn't. I promise.
B
Who paid for these?
C
We got it at amount and it's not going to come from y', all, so. No way.
B
We didn't buy this promise.
C
No, no, we made sure that you didn't.
B
Who paid for it?
C
7X.
B
Oh, yeah.
C
He said.
B
And so we paid for it.
C
We paid for it. We pay for these.
B
No, I'm kidding. This is.
C
This is a great gift.
B
This is very nice.
C
I don't know how to do. I just put my PlayStation. It's really easy. It's like setting up an iPad.
B
You know, I'm. I'm nervous about this. What about using these now?
C
Why?
B
Did you see that clip about. About Kamala and wired headphones? Oh, this is gonna you up.
C
Thank you so much.
B
This Is great, guys. This is so nice.
C
And you can play any PlayStation game that's got the same effects.
B
And this is very cool, you guys. Thank you so very much.
C
It's really good.
B
Click on. Yeah, click on this. Listen to this clip. So she got a lot of shit for, like, wearing these wired headphones. Don't be on the train using your ear pods and thinking somebody can't listen to your conversation. I'm just telling you, that's a little bit more secure. She's laughing, but she's very serious. That's the creepiest part about that. She's like, I served on the intelligence committee.
C
I've literally never heard anyone's music through a fucking AirPod.
B
No, she's saying people can tap in and listen to your conversation.
C
How?
B
Well, because it's. What? This is Bluetooth.
C
What are they? Who are they? Professor X from X Men. I mean, like, how do you do it?
B
Professor X is down in this. He does live in the subway. And you know why he lives down there? It's not ADA compliant.
C
Okay.
B
Anyway, he can't get back up.
C
You don't want them once you go down. You don't want those, then.
B
No, I do, man. I'm just having fun on the show. All right. Having fun on the show.
C
I thought. You're being serious.
B
No, dude.
C
Yeah. Because if you don't want them, I'll take them.
B
Just making a bit for the show.
C
Okay. Okay. Good bit.
B
Yeah. Thanks for killing it.
C
Yeah, I destroyed it.
B
No, it's okay.
C
Yeah, I'm sorry.
B
No, no, no.
C
Yeah, Good. Top stuff.
B
You got any New Year's resolutions? This is the thing that people, you know, people hate it, but we all pretend to do it a little bit.
C
Well, I'm not. I don't know, man. I don't think I do.
B
You don't want to change anything?
C
Not really, no. I think I'm pretty good. I'm on a good path here. Here.
B
That's great.
C
Yeah. You have any? Oh, yeah. Give me one.

Wildly irreverent, self-deprecating, and full of inside jokes, this episode features rapid exchanges, occasional moments of sincerity, and classic Bad Friends banter that oscillates between the deeply personal and the utterly ridiculous. It’s a playful celebration of friendship, pop culture, and all the things that puzzle and amuse them—delivered with the duo’s chaotic comedic chemistry.
If you want the essence of Bobby and Andrew’s friendship, a glimpse behind the curtain at celebrity (and presidential) encounters, and a heap of running gags about sports, race, and life’s minor indignities—this episode delivers on all fronts.
