[B]

Oh, that's a tight shirt. That's cool. Is that new?

[C]

No, I've had it.

[B]

Oh, I like that Fleetwood Mac. Name your favorite Fleetwood Max song. Go. Love that. That's my favorite kind of stuff right there. Dude.

[C]

I hate being put on. I hate it.

[B]

How'd you do last night? You were in a real bad mood last night for some reason. I said hello to you in the hallway.

[C]

I'll tell you why.

[B]

And you shuffled me off as if we haven't been friends for 15 years.

[C]

I'll tell you.

[B]

I was like, hey, man. And he goes, hey, I don't even want to be here.

[C]

Like, a little.

[B]

I was like, what does that have to do with me?

[C]

Because right before. You don't know what happened right before?

[B]

Well, tell me.

[C]

This guy comes up to me, goes, hey. I go, what's up? He's like, what's. You don't remember me? And I'm like, no. He's like, 2018, dude. And I go, what was that?

[B]

Mr. 2018?

[C]

Yeah. Mr. 2008, that guy. I go, what? He goes, second show, Saturday night, Brea, dude. I was with the funny hat and the weird shoes. You made fun. You like that kind of thing?

[B]

Mm.

[C]

Like I'm supposed to go, oh, yeah,

[B]

you didn't remember him?

[C]

No, I didn't remember him, dude.

[B]

Well, he's here now. Come on in, Marcus.

[C]

Do you ever get that?

[B]

No.

[C]

Where people are like, you don't remember me?

[B]

Yeah. I mean, I've had people that say that. Not. Not people in the crowd, but people say, do you not remember me? And it's the meanest, rudest thing you can say. Oh, I've had someone go, you don't remember me, do you? And you're like, okay, well, that's. What do you want me to do here?

[C]

I know.

[B]

How do you want me to get out of. This guy yesterday said, I'm telling you, I love. Look here. Can we. I love fans. I want to say hi to me too.

[D]

I love them.

[B]

But also say hi in not the weirdest way possible, right? A guy literally yesterday goes, am I mistaken or are you a podcaster? How would you like me to respond?

[C]

He was mistaken. He was mistaken.

[B]

I go, I don't know, buddy. Yeah, I don't know what else to say. And then I feel weird and I get the car and I go, what was that?

[D]
