I went to Nantucket this year, too.

[B]

I did have a good time.

[B]

Yeah. I love it. It was foggy on the day we left, and we had to fly out on one of those little planes. I was like, oh, this is how it all ends. Me taking you someplace nice. Of course. You're gonna kill me, baby.

Yeah.

Do you want kids?

[B]

I think I'm a little old to have kids, but my wife is younger than me. She might still want kids. She said something the other day, and I said, well, if you want to adopt, we can adopt. So I don't know. I don't know. I lost my mom at the beginning of this year, and I think it's. I don't know if it was. It would be kind of cheating my mom out of being a grandma, too, if I had kids now. Right. So that. That's all.

[A]

Yeah. Grandmas are very helpful.

[B]

Yes.

And having kids. Yeah, I've learned that.

[A]

I won't ask you all of them, and we'll run right through some of them.

[B]

All right. Because we gotta feed you, girl.

[A]

I know. And of course, it's a menu. You know, it's like, what more to entice me? I love it to be hungry.

[B]

What's your favorite food?

[A]

My favorite food is probably Tex Mex.

[B]

Oh, interesting. Yeah, I wasn't. I didn't. I didn't expect that.

I don't know if fajitas are considered Tex Mex, but that's what I like.

[B]

You like a good sizzle coming to the table? Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

The smoke.

[B]

Yeah. Sounds like it's going to be fun.

[A]

Yeah. I like to make my beef for chicken. It's like DIY food too, you know, you can make it yourself.

[B]

So it kind of like you're a little IKEA girl.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I love it.

[A]

What's your favorite food?

[B]

My favorite food would have to be. I. I do enjoy Asian. Asian fusion's fun. I like that.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I still think about when I was filming a show in San Francisco and they brought us burritos, but they were Asian, so. And it was just. It was, you know, basically a burrito, but instead of the flour tortilla, it was a rice tortilla.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It was crazy. I just still think about those spices and mixed in with almost everything that you have with a regular burrito. Do you cook Horribly. So if you want something burnt.

[A]

If.

[B]

You like your chicken blackened, I'm your man.

[A]

What's your. What's your biggest attribute in a relationship?

[B]

To let somebody be able to escape.

[A]

Just let them go.

[B]

Yeah. Let them be. Let them be who they want to be.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And make them laugh and keep them happy.

[A]

What's your biggest red flag?

[B]

That I'm just a dildo? I come too quick? No, I think my biggest red flag about me would be that I'm just. I kind of get wrapped up in chasing dreams.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Like your little Peter Pan at heart.

[B]

Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, definitely.

[A]

Have you always wanted to do stand up?

[B]

Yeah. Well, it's not that. Yeah, kind of did, but I remember seven. My seven grade seven yearbook said probably probable destination was to be a comedian. Yeah. And I had said that I wanted to be a truck driver, so.

[A]

Why a truck driver?

[B]

I guess I just wanted to be easy and just. I think I had. I think when I grew up, the movies were all about truck drivers, so they made it cool. Like Smokey and the Bandit and stuff like that when I was about 10 years old. So, yeah. I was like, I want to do that.

[A]

It's. I have an aunt that wanted to be a truck driver.

[B]

An aunt.

[A]

An aunt.

[B]

I think you got an aunt uncle.

[A]

Yeah. She actually turned in to be a personal trainer.

[B]

No way.

[A]

Yeah. Which is also, like, something an aunt uncle could do.

[B]

Yeah. Married?

[A]

No, she's not, like, legally. She lives with someone.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

That she's lived with for, like, her whole life.

[B]

She's like. She's different. She's like, I don't. I don't want laws telling me I'm married. I don't want me telling my.

[A]

Yeah. Also very. Are you married, Uncle? I am married.

[B]

Yeah. Where'd you get married?

[A]

At the clerk's office.

[B]

Really? Did one of those things?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Was it fun?

[A]

No, no, no.

[B]

Did you get. Did he just not want to pay for a wedding or were you. I don't want to plan.

[A]

No, I had to figure out how to trap him.

[B]

Oh, how did you trap him?

[A]

By. By getting pregnant.

[B]

So this is recent. Is this recent?

[A]

I'm just kidding. I think he actually trapped me.

[B]

By getting you pregnant.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I love it. This is the most Texas conversation ever.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You got my rang.

[A]

We both got. We both trapped each other.

[B]

Oh, that's good.

[A]

And so before he was born, like a month before our son was born.

[B]

Oh, I thought you meant your husb. Like a month before he was born.

[A]

That would go way back.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Is he older than you?

[A]

No, he's six months younger.

[B]

Oh, yeah. You look great, old robber.

[A]

Thanks. I have a little cougar in me.

[B]

Oh, I got a little cougar in me. So he's six months younger.

[A]

And. Yeah. And so when a month before our son was born, I just told him, I was like, you know, if you want him to have your last name, we need to be married. And so.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

So if not, then I'm totally cool giving him Compton and he can just have, like, a gangster last name.

[B]

That's a cool last name.

[A]

And I was like, I'm cool with that. He was like, no, he's gonna have my last name. And I'm like, well, then we gotta go get married. So we went to the clerk's office.

[B]

I think that's really. That's a great way to do it. Cause you're not trapping him, but you're.

[A]

Saying, hey, yeah, no, it was totally optional.

[B]

Right. Cause you gave him. Gave him an out.

[A]

Yeah. And I sent him a Google invite.

[B]

To his own wedding.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's awesome.

[A]

I was like, he declined it.

[B]

He said maybe.

[A]

He goes. He just said, no. And he was like, don't put it on my calendar. My calendar is public.

[B]

That's really funny.

[A]

And he's like, I don't want anyone in my company to know this is.

[B]

Happening, yet my mom and my friends can't know.

[A]

Yeah, it was a secret. We didn't tell anybody. So we just went to the clerk's office.

[B]

Did you bring a witness?

[A]

No. We don't even have a selfie on the day.

[B]

That's funny.

[A]

Nothing. Just.

[B]

I got food poisoning at our wedding.

[A]

Did you really?

[B]

I barely made it through everything.

[A]

At least you made it through.

[B]

Yeah, I made it through.

[A]

Where did you get married?

[B]

We got married in Laguna Beach, California.

[A]

Was it a big wedding?

[B]

It was pretty big, yeah. 200 people.

[A]

That is huge.

[B]

Yeah, it was. I have. My mom's Australian and my dad's Canadian, so I had relatives from around the world coming, and then she had a bunch of friends, and then. Yeah. I think weddings. Weddings should just be like, my side meets your side. Friends and family, and now they connect, and I like that a bunch of them became friends after that, and that's. That. That's what was great for me.

[A]

Yeah. Do you have a big family?

[B]

Not huge. No. No, no. Just. Just, you know. Yeah, I have one sister, and then. But we have a bunch of. A lot of cousins.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Well, that sounds fun.

[B]

It was fun. You would have had a great time. And there was food, and I know you like to eat.

[A]

I do like to eat. I wish I could eat more. Let's say that you meet your soulmate 10 out of 10. What can they do to fuck that up?

[B]

What can they. Smoking.

[A]

That's a big one.

[B]

I don't. Yeah. I don't like smokers.

[A]

What do you not like about smokers?

[B]

I just like. I don't. What do. I don't like is. I know they're. It's. It's gonna be tough for them to give it up. Right. I know that they. They've. They've not started it to be an addiction, but now it is an addiction.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, yeah, I don't. I don't want to have to deal with that addiction.

[A]

I don't blame you.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Secondhand smoke is just as severe as firsthand smoke.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Which really sucks.

[B]

And I don't want them to be sick.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. And I. I've worked in comedy clubs a long time, and I've seen the Walls in when, when we were smoking, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they would take pictures off and there would be a completely different color under the picture.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah. And I just, you know, what are.

[A]

Do you have any addictions?

[B]

Heroin? No, I have, I, I would say food. Food's my addiction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's, it's a weird one, right? You can't live without food.

[A]

It doesn't look like it's an addiction, though. You're not obese.

[B]

Oh, you are the sweetest person ever. Let's just fucking end this podcast right there. You're not obese. I'll take it. Let's get out of here.

[A]

I just feel like if it was an addiction, you wouldn't fit in this chair.

[B]

I'm doing pretty good in this chair. I'm pretty happy about myself.

[A]

Yeah, you look great in it. It looks like it fits you comfortably.

[B]

I feel like we're waiting to go see a doctor.

[A]

Let me ask you another fun main course question. Let's see. Oh, do you still talk to any of your exes?

[B]

No. No.

[A]

How do you feel about people who.

[B]

Don'T have many exes? I, I, I think it's fine. I, like, I know my wife's exes. Yeah.

[A]

Do you get jealous easily?

[B]

No, I'm not a jealous person. Yeah, it's a wasted emotion.

[A]

What's the best emotion you can have?

[B]

Happiness.

[A]

I knew you were gonna say that.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, that's fair.

[A]

Who doesn't want to be happy?

[B]

Yeah. Anger. Anger is just, it's just gonna, it's gonna, you're gonna dwell with anger, and it's gonna get in front of you being happy, and it's not gonna create anything positive for you.

[A]

So do you have any pet peeves?

[B]

No.

[A]

Is there anything that your wife does that annoys you?

[B]

Just being smarter than me at all times.

[A]

What does she do?

[B]

She's an occupational therapist. Oh, yeah. So she has a, some bunch of letters in front of her name? Yeah. So she's some sort of doctor? I don't know.

[A]

How did y' all meet?

[B]

Through a friend I did a movie with. So he, I did this movie with this guy. He was on a date with a girl. It was her, right? Yeah. It didn't work out, but I knew the moment I met her that that was going to be my wife.

[A]

Why? How did you know that?

[B]

I just talked to her and something about the way she talked back to me, I was just like, oh, this girl's gonna change my life and she's gonna be in it Forever. Right. I just knew. So I didn't at the time. I just. I could tell that they already weren't getting along. Right. So I didn't make a move. I wasn't like, I'm gonna make a move on her. I just happened. I was going to Richmond, Virginia, and her sister lived in Richmond, Virginia. Richmond, Virginia. And was a fan of comedy, and I offered tickets to her sister. Wow. Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

So you weren't introduced to her, like, hey, I want to introduce you to this girl? No, you just met her through your friend because they were dating.

[B]

Yeah, well, they were on. Yeah. I guess they'd gone on a couple dates, and then they decided that wasn't going to work out.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then he was bitter. He's like, I can't believe. I'm like, didn't you marry somebody else? Why would you care?

[A]

Yeah. Are you still friends with that guy?

[B]

No, he. He's. He's angry at both of us.

[A]

Is he really?

[B]

Yeah. Still to this day, I think he thought we'd, like, instantly. But it was a year later when I actually started to talk to her, and he's still.

[A]

Butt hurt.

[B]

Yeah. People are people. Jealousy, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Jealousy is a weird emotion.

[A]

That's weird when something doesn't work out and then it works out for someone else.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, well.

[A]

How did you propose?

[B]

We were in her hometown, and I wanted to ask her parents, and we had a little bit of a tiff because I was going to take her to a ring store and she didn't want to go. And she's like, why do you want to take me to this place? And I said, because I want to ask you to marry me. That's how I asked her.

[A]

And what did she do?

[B]

She like, you're just trying to get out of this fight. And I'm like, no, actually, this is what I'm here for. You can ask your dad and your mom what? I've already asked them, so.

[A]

Wow. And then. So that's how you proposed? Or was there another proposal? That was it.

[B]

That wasn't supposed to be the proposal. I was just gonna. Fucking. I was. Sorry. I didn't mean to swear, but I was just gonna figure a couple things out.

[A]

Get.

[B]

Get permission from her parents and then ask her in a different way. Someplace. Someplace another time. Right? Yeah, that's what I was gonna do. But with that, I was like, this is what I'm doing. Cause I can't keep secrets.

[A]

So did she go to the ring store with you?

[B]

Yeah, we went and got a ring that day. So. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, that's great.

[B]

Yeah, it was fun.

[A]

I like that.

[B]

How long into we don't do anything normal in our family?

[A]

That's okay. It's more fun that way.

[B]

Yeah. Way. Yeah. How can have a wedding without anybody there?

[A]

You could. Yeah, I did.

[B]

It's the best.

[A]

They just printed out a piece of paper and they were like, here you go.

[B]

And when you have your wedding, just say it's a party. Don't say it's a wedding because everything's going to be so much cheaper.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If it's just a party, I don't.

[A]

Really care to have, like a formal wedding. I don't think. Anyway, I say that now, but then I'm going to get around the corner and then I'm going to be like, oh, I want all the things.

[B]

Then you should do it, like, later on. It doesn't have to be that day.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I think I'd like to have another wedding where we invite our friends all back. But it's not a wedding. It's just all the people that I invited to the wedding.

[A]

Those are like a. Like a revamp, right. Where you go back and you say your words again.

[B]

Not even say that. Just the party.

[A]

Just the party.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Just have a party.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

That'd be fun.

[B]

I think.

[A]

So how long into your relationship until you said, I love you?

[B]

I remember we were at my grandma's and I said, I love you. And she said, I know.

[A]

Great response.

[B]

Yeah, great response. Just totally slapped me. I'm like, well, you're supposed to say it back to me. Maybe sometime. She said, I'll say it back to you, but not right now. That's what she said.

[A]

Well, that's kind of how so. My husband always tells me that I'm a great mom. He's like, you are the best mom in the world. And I'm like, thank you. And he's like, what about me? And I'm like, you're pretty good, too.

[B]

You're getting there, fella.

[A]

You're doing okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And he always kind of.

[B]

We trust you with the baby. That's what you should say to him.

[A]

Yeah. You can hold him.

[B]

You can hold him, but give him back right away. Cause you're not that good at it.

[A]

He's a good dad, but I'm a great mom.

[B]

She's a great mom.

[A]

Let's see. You think I kind of asked you this already, like the key to a good relationship.

[B]

He did, yeah. Yeah. I just think it's just. Just having fun with each other. Being yourself, but being yourself and not being afraid to have an argument.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You said earlier you haven't been in very many relationships.

[B]

No.

[A]

Is it because you're very monogamous and you're. All your relationships have been very long.

[B]

They weren't too long. I just would just. I was busy, you know, just kind of having fun, being dumb and. Yeah. Wasn't really dating.

[A]

Were you dating? Oh, you weren't even dating?

[B]

Yeah. No, I would. You know, every once in a while, I'd go out and date, but, like, didn't definitely. I think I may have had two serious girlfriends before my wife. Two or three. How did.

[A]

So the. The way that you're. The way that she talked to you was how you knew she was gonna change your life forever.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And that she was the one.

[B]

She's looking in, like, the connection with the eyes. I knew there was something, and then I heard her laugh, and I was like.

[A]

Might not be her. Three serious relationships. How would you tell your wife that she needed to lose weight if she got too overweight?

[B]

Ooh, interesting. Well, I'm fitting in this chair nicely, so I wouldn't ever bring that up. If she needed to lose weight. I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

[A]

You say anything.

[B]

I wouldn't. I would just. I would be more concerned. Are. Are you healthy? She said, yeah, like, get everything checked. She's not healthy. Then what do we do to get you healthy? Right.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. It's not about. Yeah. And. And. And also, does she feel good? You know, and sometimes when people gain weight, they don't feel good, and then you help them out that way. Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It doesn't seem like you have very mean bones in your body.

[B]

Oh, I want. Every time. But I don't. Why. I don't want to be with somebody to be mean. I'm like, everybody has a struggle. Why would you take.

[A]

But you're so nice.

[B]

So nice. Yes. I'm fantastic. Am I supposed to say back to you, you're very nice, too?

[A]

No, I don't think I'm that nice.

[B]

You're not that nice. You. You would tell them, you got to lose weight, buddy. I can breathe when you're on top of me.

[A]

What would I say? I don't know if I would. I just would. Oh, you know what? I did actually tell him something.

[B]

Hey, fatty, let's go to the gym.

[A]

No, it's not. I guess I'm not mean, but I'm forward, and so I just. He. So he'll always tell me that he needs to lose weight. So it's mostly him being like, God, I need to lose weight. And I'm like, well, then stop drinking.

[B]

That's funny. I love the look you give.

[A]

Come on.

[B]

Come on. I figured it out right now, right here.

[A]

Or he'll figure it out, too, because he like. Or he'll be like, I don't eat that much food. Why am I so fat? And I'm like, it's because you drink so much.

[B]

Right.

[A]

And so I'm not very good at diet.

[B]

You're forward.

[A]

I don't make him feel any better.

[B]

You're blunt.

[A]

I'm not like, babe, you're not fat.

[B]

Come on, baby. It's baby fat, baby.

[A]

Yeah, I have. I have solutions, you know?

[B]

You have solutions? You have answers.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, you should. You should. Yeah, but. Yeah, I'll have solutions, but I wouldn't. I would give them the solution if they said they needed help.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I wouldn't. I wouldn't. It wouldn't be my decision that they needed to lose weight.

[A]

That's how. That's what. Yeah.

[B]

Right.

[A]

I'm just making a comeback, Right. To something.

[B]

You're just helping out.

[A]

Yeah, I'm just here to help.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It's not that hard.

[B]

No. Put it together, people.

[A]

Do you have any tattoos?

[B]

I do. I have this one for Macy's. It also gets me a free Heineken every once in a while. No, I had this one. It was allergic to it. That's.

[A]

Is that why it's not all colored?

[B]

Yeah, I was going to say. So when I got it, it started to swell up and it looked like mud, like dried mud. It was crazy. The skin started falling off. You can see how it's falling off. Right. And I had to go to the doctor with like a. It was like a 50 tattoo that I spent 1500 dollars in medical on with all my tests, and they actually thought I had AIDS from the. From like, that I had gotten some sort of.

[A]

No way.

[B]

So they checked me for everything, and it just turns out I'm allergic to red ink. Seriously, people, if you'll see a lot of red people with red ink, it'll be broken up like that because they're allergic to it.

[A]

My only tattoo has red ink.

[B]

Really? And you're not allergic to it?

[A]

No.

[B]

You know why? You're the devil.

[A]

I knew it.

[B]

You're evil, lady.

[A]

This is not the first time a man has called me the devil.

[B]

That's so funny.

[A]

Do you have any hidden talents?

[B]

No, I'm really good at Hockey? No, I'm not really good at hockey. It's not a talent. No, I don't have any talents. My talent is. I'm very decisive. I answer questions bluntly. No, I don't have anything.

[A]

Musical talent. No, you're just funny.

[B]

That's it. That's it. That's all I got. I can't even do magic.

[A]

Dang. Not even one card trick?

[B]

Not one card trick.

[A]

Do you have any dad jokes?

[B]

No, they're all filthy.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Sorry. Can't take it home.

[A]

Dear baby that's all right. What's your favorite fast food?

[B]

Chick fil a.

[A]

That's a good one. Yeah, I always crave it on Sundays.

[B]

That's funny. I think it's wrong that they're able to close in airports on a Sunday.

[A]

They can.

[B]

Yeah. So they're not open in an airport and you're stuck there. And there'll be two things, and one of them is Chick fil a. And you're like, well, I don't want the other thing. I want Chick fil a. Yeah.

[A]

I always want it on a Sunday. Always. It's just part of who I am.

[B]

I think I'm gonna start a place called Sundays. And it's just I buy all this Chick fil a on Saturday and I sell it on Sunday.

[A]

I bet it would be successful.

[B]

I think it'd be a. I've been planning it for years.

[A]

Sounds great.

[B]

Yeah. The only thing that won't work is the fries. The fries will go, but the.

[A]

You can, you know, waffle cut fries seem pretty easy to do.

[B]

To be. To be able to refresh, reheat them. Because it's. It's. It's not gonna be fresh. It's gonna be. Sunday's not fresh. Yeah, right. It's day old. Chick fil a.

[A]

Do you have road rage?

[B]

Sometimes. Yeah. You know why? Because those cocksuckers won't get out of the way.

[A]

It's fair. Do you believe in astrology?

[B]

Sometimes. Sometimes things match up and you're like, wow, that's weird. But for the most part, I think it's bullshit.

[A]

What's your sign?

[B]

Scorpio. You know what that means?

[A]

Your fire sign?

[B]

No. It means, don't step on me or I'll sting. Sting, Sting.

[A]

I would say that's kind of a dad joke.

[B]

Okay. Is it really?

[A]

I think so.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I thought that was funny.

[A]

But you do have a dad joke.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

So you don't speak any other languages? That would go under the hidden German Jamapelian.

[B]

Just a little bit of French. Took a bunch of French in school, but can't remember anything other than my name.

[A]

That doesn't make it very helpful.

[B]

No. I can't get you out of France.

[A]

Okay. Do you like sports?

[B]

Yeah, I like. Hockey is my sport. I like boxing. I. I don't mind football. Don't really understand it. Didn't grow up on American football. Don't. So I don't really get it. I find. I find it kind of boring live same it really on tv it's fun, but. And baseball's really boring. Do you like baseball?

[A]

No, I don't.

[B]

It's so boring. It's like there's a reason they make you stand up halfway through the game so you don't get deep vein thrombosis and they get sued because it's so boring. But it's fun to hang out with your buddies. Just sitting there drinking beers in the sun.

[A]

Yeah. I actually like boxing and I like hockey. Like ice hockey?

[B]

Yeah, Yeah.

[A]

I like to watch it live too. It's the energy there is really fun.

[B]

It's the best sport ever.

[A]

I think it's fun to watch.

[B]

If you ever go to Australia, you should go to Australian Rules football.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It's crazy fast pace, but it's on the. It's like on two football fields from over here. And there's no whistles. It just keeps going and going and going. So it's just. That's the thing with football with me is just like it's stop, go, stop, go. Right. It's so boring. But with Australian Rules football, just go, go, go. So check it out. If you ever go.

[A]

Do you go to Australia a lot?

[B]

Once, I was just there in May.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I was there for a month. I did a tour. I did, I did, I did Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Brisbane.

[A]

Do you like Australia or Canada more?

[B]

Depends. If I'm going to the beach, I like Australia.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

If I'm going to see my family, I like Canada.

[A]

How is Australia different from California?

[B]

From different from California?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

More things can kill you in Australia. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's a couple killer things in California, but they're mostly in certain neighborhoods, whereas in Australia it's just everywhere.

[A]

Do you drink alcohol?

[B]

I do, but my recovery rate is horrible, so I have to have. My schedule has to be cleared for a couple days afterwards.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. What do you like to drink?

[B]

I like old fashions.

[A]

Old fashions are good.

[B]

Yeah. I'll drink two or three, four or five of them.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then. And then I like to get to a certain point and then just ride that wave. Yeah.

[A]

I like Aperol Spritz.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

I feel like it's the female version of an old fashioned kind of. Oh, no, wait. No, I'm thinking of a Negroni.

[B]

No.

[A]

And Negroni is Campari.

[B]

Yes. Keep going. Gin.

[A]

Gin.

[B]

Oh, gin. You like. You like that?

[A]

I do like that.

[B]

Gin is a panty remover. It's probably how you got pregnant.

[A]

Is it?

[B]

Trying to remember what you were drinking that night?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You'll be fine. Don't wear it.

[A]

I don't remember. Oh, I remember where I was. I was at the Kentucky Derby.

[B]

Oh, my God. Yes. Oh, my God.

[A]

And I was drinking mint juleps.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

That's what I was drinking.

[B]

That was a big night.

[A]

That was a real big night. We also bet on the winning horse.

[B]

No, you guys won.

[A]

We won.

[B]

And then your horse won after that.

[A]

I know. All kinds of things really came through that day.

[B]

And so that's a fun time, right? The Kentucky Derby.

[A]

It was so fun. It was a lightning in the bottle kind of trip.

[B]

I love it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How did you guys end up going? What?

[A]

We. My husband owns a barbecue restaurant and there's a wine company called Kendall Jackson.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

And so they invited him. They invited him.

[B]

What's your husband's barbecue place?

[A]

Terry Black's barbecue.

[B]

Is he Terry Black?

[A]

No, he's the son of Terry Black.

[B]

He's Terry Black Jr.

[A]

Him and his brother opened it and named it after their father.

[B]

Oh, really?

[A]

Yeah. So it's. It's.

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Him and his brother made it.

[B]

That's. That's awesome.

[A]

That's awesome. Yeah.

[B]

Good for him.

[A]

So the Kendall Jackson Wine Group family took us.

[B]

I'm sure they sell a lot of that there.

[A]

They do now. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

And they took you guys there and you sat in a nice little box.

[A]

It was very fancy.

[B]

You gambled on it and you won. And then. Yes. My God. We're never going back. This is fantastic. I'll never get pregnant.

[A]

And then I did. And here we are. Here we are with a seven month old.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

Yeah. And then I just had my birthday in Napa Valley, and they also set it up.

[B]

Kendall Jackson did it.

[A]

They did.

[B]

That's awesome. What's your baby's name? Am I allowed to ask that one?

[A]

Jax.

[B]

Jax. Oh, yeah. That's awesome. Okay, so Jax Compton.

[A]

Jax Compton Black. No. Cause he married me.

[B]

Oh, my God. Jax Black. Compton.

[A]

We did. We didn't do Jax Black. So we named him Jackson because I was like, this kid's not gonna be Jax Black. So we named him.

[B]

That's really funny. That's a bad joke kind of, right?

[A]

So we named him Jackson J, A X, O, N. But we call him Jax.

[B]

Jax.

[A]

Yeah. Jax, Jax and Black.

[B]

You should have named him a middle name. Blue. Jax, Jacks. Blue, Black.

[A]

I think. Which is a great burger off camera. Those are my favorite.

[B]

They are good. They're very. They must be drunk.

[A]

I know.

[B]

They're drunk. On my humor.

[A]

How do you feel about people we're gonna.

[B]

I don't know. Sorry.

[A]

How do you feel about people who talk during a movie?

[B]

Well, my wife asked me a lot of questions during movies when we watch them at home. And I'm just like, I don't understand that because I started watching the same time as her, so I don't know how she thinks I have more knowledge than she does, dude. It's crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But people that talk at movies that are talking about something that has nothing to do with the movie, I think they should be tarred and feathered. And then people that are just talking about the movie. I get that because you're with your buddy. That's what's great about going to a movie, is you're going with somebody, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So you should be able to discuss the movie. Even though I usually just get into the movie and watch it myself. But also, if the sound system's great, you don't even notice people talking because it's so loud.

[A]

That is true. But during a movie, I'm with you and someone's like, why are. What are they going to do now? And it's like, I don't know. Couldn't tell you.

[B]

Let's watch. Let's find out. I always give her the wrong things. Well, I tell you what's going to.

[A]

Happen, and then it's definitely not what's going to happen. I'm gonna ask you two more questions.

[B]

So many.

[A]

Two more. I'm gonna pick my favorite ones here.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What is the most you've ever spent on a single article of clothing?

[B]

The most. I think I got not much. Like, maybe like one. A suit. Like $2,000 or something like that?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah, I guess. Shoes, maybe. Shoes.

[A]

Shoes are extremely expensive. They can be.

[B]

Yeah. I like. I got my pink ones. You probably can't see them, but I wear them because they're pink. And it gets guys that aren't good with their sexuality all fired up. Anyways.

[A]

Let me see my last one. I guess I'll ask you. Oh, I'll ask you my dessert question. What is the sweetest thing you've ever done for your wife?

[B]

Okay, I don't know if the sweetest thing, but my wife has been there through my career, right? And she's always like, let me know if I'm being crazy or if somebody else is being crazy. She went to school and got to a certain point of school, and then once I started selling some tickets and we had money, I said, you need to go back to school and get your doctorate. So I was able to put her through school.

[A]

That is.

[B]

I think it's the nicest thing I've done.

[A]

Very daddy vibes.

[B]

Oh, shit. That's not what I was going for. That was definitely not what I was going for. I was going for, I support you after you supporting me. That's what that was for. But I had no idea. I had no idea how to live.

[A]

It's such a sweet thing to do.

[B]

Oh, my God. Now I feel horrible about it. No. Thanks for the blowjobs. Basically what I've done. Oh, my God.

[A]

What is your biggest piece of advice that you can give someone who's miserable in a relationship?

[B]

Get out. Right. Like, if it's. If it's. Life is short, if it's bad for you, it's definitely bad for them. Right. And it's tough breaking. Like. I'll ask you a question. Would you rather break up with someone or be broken up with.

[A]

Man, It's. You know, I'd rather break up with someone.

[B]

Really. I'd rather be broken up with. I'm that person. Like, I. But you. You have to. If you're in a position where you're not happy, you're not going to make that person happy. Right. So what do you do that makes both of you happy?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Right. And it's gonna suck for a while, but. Yeah.

[A]

How do you break up with someone?

[B]

Oh, I remember once I was dating this girl, just dating. And we went to. We went to Wendy's, and I said, I'm gonna have my own nuggets. And I think our life should be like that.

[A]

What did she say?

[B]

She said, did you just break up with me? And I said, yes, I did.

[A]

And then what?

[B]

We got our stuff to go.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

She went that way, I went that way.

[A]

So you must. Were you dating for very long?

[B]

No, not too long, but it was. It was. It was. It was like. I wouldn't not call it dating. Dating.

[A]

Yeah. You were just seeing someone?

[B]

Yeah, like the. The. The relationships that I was in before the one. My first relationship. Relationship. She broke up with me because she said I traveled too much, and then she started dating a sailor, which made no sense to me.

[A]

What?

[B]

Right, yeah, exactly. And then. And then the other two relationships, they kind. They. We broke up because we both moved someplace. So it wasn't. It wasn't. I broke up with them because I don't like you. It was like, this just isn't gonna work. Right. So. Yeah. Because long distance. Long distance does, I would say, doesn't work. I would say 98% of the time. Right.

[A]

So hard.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I think you can be long distance with someone for a certain amount of.

[B]

Time if they're gonna move. Yeah, but we moved away from each other.

[A]

Yeah. That's hard.

[B]

Right? So. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

So you haven't really had a nasty breakup.

[B]

Oh, I was brokenhearted. Yeah. Like the girl that. That broke up with me for me traveling too much, that. That was. That was, you know, hard. Yeah. I remember. I remember being so sad. And my friend said. My friend said to me, you don't know how good things are unless you know how bad things are. So just let that. Let you. Let. Take that to the next relationship, Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. So. And take what you learned, what you didn't like, don't get involved in that again.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then. And of course, yeah, the breaking up with those other. Other girls that moved away, it still sucked. So. But it wasn't. It wasn't like, I'm going to have a good time now. It's like, this fucking sucks. I had a lot of fun. You know, it does blow, but you're going to lead to somebody else, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Right. It's just. It's the same as, I don't know, think. You have to think you have to take things and you have to take. Oh, my God. You have to. Oh, my God. Can we take or get rid of that, or are we going to keep that all in? Perfect. We're going to keep it all in. So. So who you are is a combination of everything you go through your life, right? So you.

I love it. So my favorite thing to do for the longest time was to go to someplace I'd never been to before with no plans at all. Like where I'm gonna stay. Where? Yeah. I. I used to love that. And then just trying to figure out how to assimilate with the people that are there.

That sounds really fun to do.

What's your favorite place in the world?
