I know.

[B]

Silver, silver wings. Can you fly with that? Fly away.

[A]

We just toned it down. We have a light behind me. But we tone it down.

[B]

It's actually kind of cool.

[A]

I think it's kind of cool. I don't know why, but. Oh, he looks a happy accident, really.

[B]

David looks like a little angel with.

[A]

This little angel right off the bat.

[B]

Well, well, well. He's a sweet man.

[A]

All right.

[B]

There we go.

[A]

You can write that off for sure.

[B]

We've had a break and now we're back.

[A]

2026. It's been a ride so far.

[B]

2026 is starting off a little slow, isn't it? I mean.

[A]

I mean, yeah. I mean, I didn't. My big New Year's. We'll get right at it.

[B]

Okay. All right. This is. We're in the realm. We can talk about your big New Year's. I want to hear it this year.

[A]

I said, I'm gonna do it. I usually don't stay up late, but I go, I'm gonna stay up till.

[B]

No, no.

[A]

Yeah. So I said, 12 is sort of. I stay up till 12 four times a year. It's very rare.

[B]

If you do stand up, sometimes you just stay up if your sets late.

[A]

Yeah. When I used to do the Mirage, we were for sure not even done until.

[B]

Don't even say that. Triggers me up at 6am in the hotel.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then I'm going on and doing stand up. At 10:45 that night, I can't nap, so I'm 15 hours in a box waiting. But the main thing was, when I played it, it was 122. No exaggeration. All the flights got canceled. The hotel, they said 40% canceled. The audience is comatose. And it was a bit slow.

[A]

They're just trying to live. They just come there for shelter to your show.

[B]

Yeah, basically. They can go in there and it's air conditioned. Yeah. But anyway, that's. So you. New Year's Eve, you stayed up.

[A]

Well, I'm saying when I used to do with Ray Romano at the Mirage, we wouldn't get off because we do a meet and greet at the end and Not a meet and greet. We do a Q and A. So I did it too, by the way. I'm going out there with Nikki Glazer to Caesar's. Into New Year's Eve.

[B]

I don't know. It's because I know you, but I see the picture of you and Nikki in the Roman outfits.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Floating around. They're in my purview. I mean, they're. They're ubiquitous. And I go, wait a minute. Is it like eight shows?

[A]

It couldn't be more looking like AI that we are dressed like Roman emperors. But we did it for real for Caesars. We did a full photo shoot at, at the Coliseum. It's going to be great. That's one in January, I think. One in May, one in September.

[B]

But it's a weekend. It's two nights, right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, two shows. Other than that. Just so everyone knows because everyone's been asking, when are you going on the road? Where are you going? I've got Salt Lake, San Diego.

[B]

Can you give us dates? As I would like to have them in my head. What's.

[A]

What are the dates? Thank you.

[B]

People say that I'll be in Toronto. When.

[A]

When? Okay, outside of Toronto.

[B]

Okay, Salt Lake. What's the date?

[A]

Salt Lake is next weekend and then 16, 17. That's Salt Lake, San Diego. Then I got Caesars the weekend after, then a week off. Then we got CAESARS is what, January 16, 1670.

[B]

Well, that was San Diego. Where's San Diego? In there.

[A]

That's the week before.

[B]

But what's the number?

[A]

What's the number? Heather?

[B]

I'm a Rain man.

[A]

Don't no one fast forward.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Gotta know that mine is seven days. It's next weekend and Salt Lake and then, then ninth, tenth. Then the end of the month is old Farley stomping with Wisconsin, doing Milwaukee, Appleton and Chicago. That's fun. I've done that, that run before. Sometimes I pepper in Madison because that's where Chris is from. And sometimes I pepper in different ones, but that's a good chunk. Got Philadelphia coming up. We're got a couple. So you go to go to the DavidSpade.com. god, when they do this on Bad Friends I always make fun of them and then now I do it.

[B]

Oh, I'm gonna be at In N Out Burger in Van Nuys Saturday, January 9th.

[A]

Yeah, exactly. I'm gonna be in the line at the In n Out In Vegas, the 48 minute line to get in. But I will tell you.

[B]

So New Year's Eve I have to have Garth comment. Okay. He's a real funny standup. I think I would go if I were you. His name's David Spade. I can't remember the dates because he went kind of fast, but he's going to be some places. I'll say goodbye now.

[A]

That sounds like Gar dude.

[B]

I don't know what was happening. People are so annoyed. We're supposed to in the first 30 seconds stir the algo that we're going to give our predictions for 2026 because we got a lot of predictions oh, yeah.

[A]

And a lot of predictions.

[B]

And what was the other one?

[A]

We're gonna give our favorite movies.

[B]

Favorite movies? Yeah.

[A]

Of the year. But my first of all, my blisteringly exciting New Year's Eve. I have dinner with Bobby Lee. We're all doing sets that night. So I said, oh, we're all gonna be at the Comedy Store. Why not stay in town? It's pouring pissing rain for the last two weeks. I was in Arizona once everyone got sick, so it was a tough. Tough to keep floating around. So I just said, I'm gonna stay here. I did the store two shows. It's Tim Dillon, Nikki Glaser, Bobby Lee. It was like a great lineup. So I said, oh, good. I want to see everybody. And there's two shows. I'm just doing the first one, but I want to stick around and see everybody. So I go to dinner with Bobby, then we go. The shows are kind of early. Tim's already off. Nikki comes in, does her Golden Globe set and has to leave. She has seven sets.

[B]

God, I love the work ethic of this hard worker. She'll come so fully loaded that she's almost incapable of bombing. I don't want to jinx it, but it's just a. Too many great jokes, too many vetted then.

[A]

And then we go to Caesars and she's going to be so buffed and polished that I. That's why I got it. That's why I'm stepping it up. I gotta keep up.

[B]

So then.

[A]

But she was running around doing her set, the monologue, you know, and then. And who else was there? Anyway, I did it. I said, oh, yeah, I was with Bobby. So then I waited for the next show. It was an hour and a half and everyone split. Everyone's doing shows all over town. I didn't know that. I was like the laziest one. So I just split. But I got home. I stayed up till. Probably I didn't get home till 9:30.

[B]

That's late. That's late for you. I don't think people understand.

[A]

They don't.

[B]

For a late night comedian, for a nightclub comic, In America today, 8:30 is looking pretty good.

[A]

Most pretty juicy.

[B]

Even though the show's at 9. That's a problem.

[A]

By the way, part of the gigs that when me and Nikki were at Venetian, we were like, we cannot have these shows even at nine. It's got to be eight because people fly in there on Southwest or wiped out. Yeah, they start drinking a little too early. They peak early. Now there's A show like this. Fuck this noise.

[B]

And then they're too wasted to gamble. I have no idea why. In the modern era, most Vegas places, casinos, they should have a show. It's seven. You and Nikki should go on. It's seven. They have one drink, they're awake, they see you, then they're jazzed because you two are so funny. They go right in the casino and drop some money.

[A]

Yeah. You know when I saw Rod Stewart, the Coliseum, same place we are, he was seven, I think.

[B]

Yeah, perfect.

[A]

Because what he does is he flies home after. But he did a great show. It's about 90 minutes, starts right at the. On the dot. Boom. Maggie.

[B]

I wish some guys. In case you're not gonna see it. David, do your best. Rod Stewart, in case you can't get to a show. Just 10 seconds. One, two, three, go.

[A]

Okay. Maggie. I wish I may never see. Isn't that a good.

[B]

That's good.

[A]

That's got a lot of mandolin.

[B]

I just like the one. I don't know the lyrics. Some people got no luck at all.

[A]

Some guys have all the luck.

[B]

Some guys got all the luck. I don't know. It's not my best impression, but I'm gonna work on it.

[A]

Yeah, it's. That is not your best one.

[B]

One of the. Yeah, but I. I worked with him. I worked with him.

[A]

He's a friend.

[B]

Yeah, he's a good guy.

[A]

He's still got the poofy hair. I've always. I've always said that rock stars or famous people keep the look when they were the most famous. And I think Rod Stewart is stuck with that poofy hair, kind of boas. And he looks cool.

[B]

Mick Jagger.

[A]

Poison has the bandana. And you fucking know him in one second, right? Michaels. And so there's a lot out there that do that. Yeah, Me. Yeah. So anyway, so that was that.

[B]

I have a beetle haircut. And that's why I have my haircut like this way. So I got a beetle T shirt.

[A]

You got really Bit by the beetle bug for Christmas.

[B]

I know. Isn't it strange? I didn't know, you know, it was New Year's. They call it a new year because they changed the number, you know, so it's 20, 25 and they go, 26. It's one more. So it's a new year, you see. Little treat for you fans.

[A]

Flip it over. Yeah, I saw you doing Paul McCarty on a. Our Larry David rerun.

[B]

I did everything I could to make Larry David laugh because he. He has the most finely tuned you know, he's one of the most talented writer comedians in history, but as an audience member, he's off the charts.

[A]

He was right here in this studio. He was popping a stitch when you were doing that.

[B]

He fell out of that chair.

[A]

But he fell out of the other chair. And he. And we were like, holy. You know what? He was for being you. Like comedians that still laugh at other people's shit, a lot of them are just like, hey, man, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, man, you're funny. And you go, but when he came in, he's like in a good mood. He's like, make me laugh. Let's have fun. Let's around. And it was great.

[B]

Well, it's just old timey impressions. I mean that we're, we know how the genie gets out of the bottle. So as comedians, sometimes you're watching a comic and it's killing go, oh, good one. Oh, that's a nice move. I'll put those two together. But if you're saying Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart and a woman are at a threesome, it's so outside of normal Larry David comedy.

[A]

Yeah, he just likes to hear some.

[B]

Yeah, I'd like to get in on that action, you know, I mean, it's.

[A]

Just like, yeah, they're all like, he's.

[B]

Like a tree falling over.

[A]

The other day I had a moment where I was, you know, I like tapping into my adventurous side. Danny, you know this, I, I've heard this, I've heard this. Yeah, I went out in the snow barefoot. Of course, I was a little out of LA a little bit, but yeah, I just want to feel something real. I want to touch grass, touch snow. It made me think about how disconnected our nutrition has gotten. My cupboard used to look like a graveyard of supplements with ingredient lists and people would come over and go, are you okay?

[B]

A graveyard of supplements?

[A]

Yeah, I'm trying to read labels. It's like the Hunger Games. What brand can I trust? What's filler? What is artificial? Why does every clean product have something different? Feels like I'm being tricked. That's why. Cachava in a breath of fresh air. It simplifies everything. Since adding it into my routine, I felt a real difference. Steady energy, better digestion, a supported metabolism in mind, and even immunity benefits.

[B]

Huh? My go to lately is the chocolate flavored blended with frozen bananas and nut milk. But, but David, with six flavors, you really can't go wrong with six. And their cachava kitchen recipes make it redonkulously easy to whip up a Superfood packed shake.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Rewild your [e-mail] and use code fly. New customers get 20 off an order of two bags or more now through the 31st. That's Kachava. K A C H A V A.com code fly.

[B]

Remember, if you're hungry for a snack, it's.

[C]

What's up world is Vaughn Miller, super bowl mvp, chicken farmer, and now host of Free Range. This is a show where I go off the field and off the script. We're talking what's hot in music, film, trending news and everything blowing up your feed. If you love football, you'll feel at home. But if you're here for the vibes, the Internet deep dives the conversation. This is your podcast. Join me every Wednesday. Follow and listen to Free Range with me, Von Miller everywhere. You get your podcast.

[A]

Oh, could this vintage store be any cuter?

[B]

Right? And the best part, they accept Discover.

[A]

Except Discover in a little place like this. I don't think so, Jennifer.

[B]

Oh, yeah, huh?

[A]

Discover is accepted where I like to shop. Come on, baby, get with the times.

[B]

Right?

[A]

So we shouldn't get the parachute pants. These are making a comeback, I think. Discover is accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide. Based on the February 2025 Nielsen report. You know, I thought of you the other day because I have two. Two beefs with Amazon prime and I don't want to bring my fight here, but these are just little quarrels.

[B]

I want to. I really want. I'm interested because I have a lot to say about it.

[A]

One relates to you. So stick around for that one. Also the audience stick around for the first one's boring. When we interview the UFO guy, Dan we. Which I really liked here. I like that stuff. I went to watch on Amazon prime. Like a great guy, great guy syndrome, full disclosure, whatever.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And not only do I pay for Amazon prime, but that's sort of baked in now. That's what, nine bucks, 12 bucks? Then you go to watch it. They go only on Amazon Prime. So when I go to watch it, it's another nine bucks or ten bucks. What? What do you mean? I understand. I got double rap fucked. I mean, how I thought I paid to get on. So now I get to watch stuff Amazon prime.

[B]

When I click on it, prime with prime video. Then you see all the ones and they do have. They have new release movies like or in theater movies. If you go down. Okay. And then it's like you can watch it two weeks earlier for $169. So I'm gonna wait on Housemate. By the way, I did see Housemaid. We'll talk about that in a minute. Oh, you did?

[A]

That's when we're going up for best movies. Okay. I tried to find it. Is it on Amazon Prime?

[B]

No, no, it's in the theaters and it's cooking. It's cooking?

[A]

Yeah. No, it's cooking with gas.

[B]

It's really good.

[A]

The other Amazon prime boring story is that It's a Wonderful Life. That's why I thought of you, because I think that's one of your favorite movies.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

And they don't mention it. I don't think they mention it right away, but a lot of people, not just them when they play it, they took out a really good part. Pottersville.

[B]

I know. I read. I just saw that byline. What did they take out?

[A]

They take out about his whole. If he wasn't born, and he goes, oh, they.

[B]

They cut all that way down.

[A]

That's gone because there's some copyright problem where they had to pay more, and so they just skip it. And it's really. You would know more than me. It really would throw the movie off.

[B]

Well, it's.

[A]

It's like a perfect movie the way it is. You need to know all the information.

[B]

Well, like, say, take a revenge movie, but we don't have any violence against. There's nothing that's an amount of revenge. What are you. I don't know. That's pulling the arrow back when he feels so distraught he wish he'd never been born. And then that sets up the whole thing of people coming in. The whole town comes in and they say, we heard George Bailey was in trouble. And then that blew his mind. I mean, he didn't realize how. How many people he affected. But he's right, you know?

[A]

So in John Wick, you can't take out killing his dog because it sets the whole movie out. Now he's mad, right?

[B]

If you do the wizard of Oz and you just have her walking up to the gate with the. With the Oz, there's. There's no. There's no Munchkins.

[A]

No, they just Tin Man. So they just keep blocking him out of everything, and it's just two other idiots. Yeah. So I knew you'd be up in.

[B]

An uproar, you know. You know, when they. When they start to edit a movie, when people. People make a movie, they make it the way they want to make it, and then somebody says, we can't afford it. And what. What. What are you going to do you're going to cut out the stagecoach in the movie Stage Coach.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

What are you gonna do? The Longest Day. You're not gonna have them land at Normandy?

[A]

Yeah, the. The sandlot. They don't throw the ball over the fence.

[B]

Hey, here's a quick one. Just an insert. You'll make. This will make you laugh. This will make you laugh. Covid's back. So go yourself. I knew I'd make you laugh.

[A]

It's a good clip. Fauci's back and more Coveter than she's back.

[B]

It's gonna be the covetous Covid you've ever seen, Covid. So go yourself.

[A]

He wants a sequel bad. Also, Amazon. Why are they chintzy? It should be a place that doesn't have quite as much money as Amazon for them to be cutting corners.

[B]

I love the thing I love about Amazon. Obviously, everyone knows it, is that they hacked. They did something that's not like Elon Musk going to Mars. Just how do you order stuff and get it? I mean, if I got before Amazon are sending me stuff, you get a little taste as FedEx. Your package is. Is in Gardenia. It's two hours away. You have to drive. Oh, sorry we missed you again. Somebody somewhere at Amazon when they said, we're going to do this supply chain, we're going to deliver stuff, and somebody said, hey, guys, just hear me out. We're gonna leave the package. Are you nuts?

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

We can't leave the package that gets stolen.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

We will get some theft, but exponentially 50%. It's going to make our business go crazy. The fact that they leave the package. Take a picture of it. So, yeah, I only have a lot of props for whoever did this because it's kind of crazy. All my Christmas shopping and people are blown away. It takes me 30 seconds. Christmas wrap. Love, Dana. Up.

[A]

Get it here in 20 minutes. American addictive. It's addictive. I know people that are like, just all day, it's like, hey, that's a nice Slinky. It's a power trip. Can I get it in three? Even the same day you can get it.

[B]

Yeah. You could be two in the afternoon and go, I could use some backup. Toothpaste.

[A]

Knitting needles. Why not?

[B]

Hat like David Spade. There it is. Open it up.

[A]

That's why there's a car. That's why there's an Amazon truck blocking every corner when you drive all day, they're like.

[B]

Guess what's their stupid shit. Guess what's next? Because this company Is working with Amazon drones. Drones. Drones. High up, though. And then they'll lower it down.

[A]

Here's your dental phone.

[B]

Please go to the patio. And out comes a puppy. But, yeah, that's the future. Drones. What is it for the worst sound effect comedians?

[A]

No, we're good.

[B]

In history. Well, we're applying sound effects that aren't appropriate. I gotta adjust my mic.

[A]

Everything's a monster on my mic.

[B]

I gotta. Yeah, it doesn't.

[A]

We gotta hear.

[B]

Well, you actually. You have a. You have a little top 10 list that I. I have an array.

[A]

They kind of.

[B]

The quiet kind of cross birds is inspired.

[A]

It's harder to do birds now.

[B]

That's inspired. And you do. You do an array of drills. You do a loud drill. Soft. You do a lot of drilling.

[A]

You can do. That's a gun in the. In the mountains.

[B]

Oh, I see.

[A]

Here's a plane flying over.

[B]

Come back. Oh, I lost.

[A]

We lost our feet on that one.

[B]

We lost our feet.

[A]

Yeah, it's. I think it was unplugged. It's getting too stupid.

[B]

I wanted to throw a sound effect at you that you haven't done yet. Okay. A mailbox being closed abruptly.

[A]

That's the steel of a little rusty.

[B]

Oh, it was a rusty mailbox.

[A]

Here's a. Here's the arrow in the door. Goes on.

[B]

I can do a lot of those. This is a. A UFO that was in disclosure. Taking off.

[A]

Is it a four cylinder?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

They don't make. They go like this.

[B]

Here's a lonely hearts man in a singles bar trying to flirt with an attractive woman, and it doesn't work.

[A]

Ooh, that's a good one. You might do that in Wayne's World.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I saw a show the other night, like one of the newer shows, and the lady said, oh, let's do it. Party on, Wayne. They just threw it into the middle of their conversation.

[B]

And I was like, you know, have you ever had this? And I'm not saying. I'm not. Look. This woman at a store turned to me and said, with all sincerity, does anyone ever told you you look like Dana Carvey? And I go, yeah, it's a curse. Kind of joking. She goes, no, I'm serious. It's uncanny. It's uncanny how much. And I couldn't tell if she was joking, but she was sincere. And then I felt bad about it for 24 hours.

[A]

No, they just can't believe you're in Cracker Barrel if you're not, like, in a Hollywood backlot. They're like, why would you be here when people say that? I go, I have to be somewhere.

[B]

Well, it was like one of those things where, you know, when they back up the Brinks trucks, sometimes you'll do corporate events or a corporate party. And sometimes they can be a little rough. You know, 20 people at midnight that are drunk, you know. And a woman came up to me again very sincerely and said, excuse me, did Dana, why are you here? Because they figure you're doing it for.

[A]

Free or you ran out of money and you're like, is this. You need the money so bad? People say to me about anything, well.

[B]

That'S where you go. Where. Jay Leno is the most pragmatic man. Yeah, what are you gonna do, stay home and watch Madlock instead of make $25,000? He, he never understood the idea that you would not do anything for the money. Here's a quick hit. Bill Gates said climate change isn't as bad, but he's wrong. We're still totally fucked.

[A]

He had that speech is from 1981, when he's like five years Florida will be underwater.

[B]

No, but Bill Gates kind of said it's bad, but it's probably not going to be catastrophic. It'll just give it a warm for a couple of days. I mean, that was really, really hurt.

[A]

A lot of people. Yeah, well, I could see why, but I understand. God, my sure sweater pops. All right, here's also something in the news. Your buddy George Clooney is a French citizen.

[B]

He said what?

[A]

That's what he said.

[B]

I like after a dust up gets Francis another dust. Yeah, well, Trump. One of Trump's things that's funny to me is he'll go after people like about their career. He's never was a star. He never was a star. He was just. He never. It wasn't a movie, so I don't know what it was. He did make like 30 movies, but yeah, he never made a movie.

[A]

So I don't think you can take that away from Clooney. I feel like he is a huge star. But I would think if he's bailing, he would go to Italy because he was in Italy for the last 20 years. I mean, he has that place in Italy since frickin. I was on Just Shoot Me and and then to switch it to France, I don't know. But he took his kids. He said, I don't want to be in America. I don't want to have them grow up in America. Like. But the thing is, you know, he gets political, which is fine, but I Wonder if he will get political in France or. He will. He did say something, even the other day after he announced this. And it feels like if he tapped out of here, he doesn't need the stress of the politics of America anymore. You know what I mean? He got out. It's like you're on the Jets. You go to the Steelers after 20 years, and then you go, hey, I want to send in some plays on the jet. They're like, not anymore. No, you're.

[B]

Well, one is. I do know that in Lake Cuomo, he was on the water. I was there once and every tour thing. Georgia Clooney, his house. George Clooney, you know, so now he has kids, and so he's on a giant place. But it's hard. I mean, everyone knows where he lives and everything. I. I think he'll probably lower his footprint and lower the temperature. I mean, because. Wants to be. Raise his family now.

[A]

Sure. I mean, I. I sort of get it. I mean, he's. Where's he from? Kentucky. I would probably. Well, I'm not a big traveler. I would take a huge Kentucky farm over. Well, people love France, so I think I'm in the minority there.

[B]

There's a lot of places in the world, if you have a couple dollars in your pocket where you can go and disappear and escape. But he did say that money is not an issue anymore, which is a wonderful thing for a human being to say. Hey, how's money? Not an issue for me. Really? Me no issue. Hold on, let me think. No, not an issue. But that's good for him. Him and Randy Gerber did an amazing deal with their Tequila brand.

[A]

And that out of that, I think they got out.

[B]

They got out. I think. George. I don't know after taxes, but Australian, I think Maybe I got 3 or 400 million.

[A]

The GNP of Romania.

[B]

3 or 400 million. That's a lot of money. Me, Yeah, I got about 700 million. Can you believe it? Okay, Michelle, I'll be there in a second. I just want to tell these guys, one, I look younger because this puppet was made a long time ago, but I'm rich.

[A]

Lip looks fat, though.

[B]

I know, I know, I know. But, David, David, I want to say you're one of the best standups. And where are you going to be? What's the date again for Salt Lake City?

[A]

You know, nobody knows the dates. I just keep saying cities.

[B]

Michelle and I would like to drop by because we just think you're funnier than hell. Love, love, Tommy Boy. Love Joe Dirt. Grown UPS all your movies. That's Michelle. I said I'd be there.

[A]

That's good. You go into those fast.

[B]

It's so easy.

[A]

Good voice.

[B]

I mean, they told Nancy Pelosi that she can't trade stocks and be in Congress anymore.

[A]

I like her bug eyes.

[B]

Sorry, I. I'll stop these. If the fans.

[A]

I always read about some congressman makes 22 grand a year and they're worth 70 million, and you go, well, maybe I should get into that. That's. What's the trick.

[B]

Well, I'll just say this and this. This is. Should be. Not political at all. I mean, come on. They get so much inside information just casually about. About deals, so why should they be able to trade stocks ago? Oh, no, we're not trading. We don't take any information from Congress. What's your average return? About 70% a year. But we really research it, you know? Come on.

[A]

Yeah, me and you are scraping mine about 4.1%.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Jesus Christ.

[B]

Most ETFs grab you maybe 4,3.4%. Carvey, for Christ sakes. Pelosi's up there about 90% a year with no insider information. All right, that's something.

[A]

I got some REITs biting me in the ass. What is that? Real estate?

[B]

I was never in that hot tub. That hot tub.

[A]

Oh, he got.

[B]

Yeah. David. David. Let me just talk to David for a second.

[A]

It's a misunderstanding that.

[B]

That you saw the picture. That's fake news. That's a fake thing. I was never in that hot tub, David.

[A]

I believe it.

[B]

Do you, David? Do you really?

[A]

Was it hot in the hot tub, though? Question. Because if he said it was, then he was.

[B]

I like the idea of the puppets talk to you.

[A]

I know. I do like it. I talk.

[B]

And it doesn't have to be funny. It's just sort of like. Or does it. All right, predictions for 2026.

[A]

We haven't gotten any good stories yet, but we should give. Okay, you give me your predictions. Well, I know we got.

[B]

Okay. They will reboot the A Team on Netflix, and David Spade will play the leader, who was played by George Papard in the 80s. You will be the leader of the A Team.

[A]

Oh, okay. I would do that.

[B]

Tim Meadows will play Mr. T.

[A]

Who.

[B]

Else is in there have to be.

[A]

Black in the remake if you don't want him.

[B]

Well, I don't know, but Tim is a badass. He can fight.

[A]

Tim's. Tim was always pretty ripped.

[B]

He's ripped, too, but he's also kind of tough. He doesn't like people you know, I mean, he. He's willing to throw down.

[A]

I think I pity the Fool, Mike. Some sound condescending in this day and age.

[B]

Well, what.

[A]

Okay, here you change it.

[B]

What would be the. Instead of, I pity the fool, I feel sorry for the feller, I understand.

[A]

The fool, and I get what's. What he's trying to do, but it's not working.

[B]

I admire the Fool.

[A]

Yeah, I relate to the fool.

[B]

Well.

[A]

George, for part, just in a side note, he looked like he was a hundred, but Honestly, I'm probably 10 years older than he was. If the Golden Girls were only 33 when they shot that and they're playing.

[B]

Yeah, I think George harbor's probably like 52 or something.

[A]

Jesus, he looked like he was a thousand. That's why people say you're old. I go, oh, not really. And then they go, yeah. Well, when I was at Anderson's Fifth Estate, the bar I started stand up in, and they said we were all 21, right? And this guy was there hitting on all the girls. And people got mad because they. There was a rumor he was 44. And everyone's like, first of all, fucking gross. Second of all, why would they let someone 44 in here? And he was stealing our chicks. And then I thought, well, if Sean Penn came in and he was 44, everyone would be freaking out and love it. And all the. Everyone love him. So if you're an unfamous 44, that's a. That's a problem in Arizona, in Scottsdale.

[B]

Everybody, you know, you. I mean, we have modern technology, you know, 70s, the new 60s. 60s, the new 50, 40s, the new 30. 30 is the new 20.

[A]

27, 30 now, I mean, it's really like, I can't see the difference. There's some people. But when I go back to Scottsdale, sometimes I see somebody and I see these old geezers walk by, and I.

[B]

Go, are you David Spade?

[A]

I was a year under you in high school. I go, wait, you're close to. What the. Yeah, you were older than us. I'm like, what?

[B]

Well, one of the figures of speech that's kind of amusing is, oh, how's. How's Bill? Well, he's doing great. He kind of let himself go. He let himself go? Yeah, he just let himself go. It sounds kind of gentle in a way. What are you. What are you doing right now? I'm just letting myself go. So you can see people at 50 that have, you know, look more mature.

[A]

Sure. Well, you also, when you're in show biz and you're on camera. There is a part of you that goes, I can't totally collapse. I have to do a few crunches a week. Right?

[B]

Yeah. I've got to moisturize. I gotta. I. I've gotta. You know. Yeah.

[A]

I don't want to look like a full reptilian.

[B]

Well, that's the thing for everybody. If you can go to your 50th high school reunion and everyone. Everyone walk. Or even 40, you know, okay. And everyone walks up and that none of them has to say, I'm sorry, who are you again? Like, if you can stay recognizable, you're doing pretty good.

[A]

And you go, hi, I went to school with you. I just pooped my pants. A lot of people did. We're at the 50th.

[B]

Well, he let himself go. Literally. Yeah.

[A]

That's letting him poop go. I have a question for you about.

[B]

How Heather came around.

[A]

Heather. I can hear. You can hear Heather on the good ones. I know.

[B]

I don't know which one.

[A]

She's not handing out laughs to any.

[B]

No, no.

[A]

You have to. You have to earn it.

[B]

First of all, I do a quick 2026 prediction from Joe Biden.

[A]

No.

[B]

As a people. Cause it's time. It's a people side. Yeah. So it's a wise side.

[A]

You know, on Chinese in China, it's the year of the ice cream.

[B]

Is that real?

[A]

No.

[B]

Oh, because it sounded. In Malaysia, it's the year of the hot fudge sundae.

[A]

You know, we just did Bill Maher's podcast. It's. I think it's coming out this week, but I forgot we asked about one of his first jokes. Here's one of my first ones I heard from him. He said, which one has the year of that? Is that in China?

[B]

Yeah, it's the Chinese. The year.

[A]

Chinese. The New Year.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He goes, you know, it's. It's the Chinese New Year. It's the year of the dragon. But I keep writing Year the Rat on all my checks. I'm still writing Year of the Rat. You know how we always write 20, 25. But it's.

[B]

But it's the Year of the Rat. And so. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, boy. I gotta walk you through that one.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What I want to know if, first of all, Minnesota is having a tough week. But I will say Minnesota, because I. I know you're probably working on a Tim Waltz, because, well, I mean, political figures.

[B]

My best friend, Jim Gaffigan.

[A]

Oh, that's right.

[B]

He did a great Tim Waltz. I. When I read about what went on In Minneapolis and the fraud and stuff, it sort of makes my brain numb. I'm like, what that much money? What's going on, David, what do you think?

[A]

I don't, obviously I don't know, but it seems like a little bit of. If there's smoke, there's fire, but I don't know how much fire. But Minneapolis, first of all is a great stand up town. I did my special there during COVID It's great tail end of COVID but you know, these things that are. Get blown up in cities. You don't know if it's like you land and then this is all you see.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Is Somalis and small and you see corruption. It's usually a little more in pockets, isolated in pockets.

[B]

If there's a riot at UC Berkeley, most of the campus is dead quiet.

[A]

Or even all the city of San Francisco, you're like, oh, you can't step foot in there. Yeah, but. Which has happened because I've gone to cities where they say, or disaster. And you know, some of it I see, some of it I don't because it's not the whole place. But there is, there is some trouble in doggy land, as Steve Martin used to say. Steve Martin used to go, I wrote a few books this summer. I wrote Trouble in doggy Land. But there is something. I know. I don't know why I thought that was funny as a kid.

[B]

I love it, but so.

[A]

It's so silly, but let's hope they will skim over that. But I think something's going on up there. Who knows? Well, I think why people get mad is if you're an average everyday citizen going to work and paying your taxes and you're finding out this or some other situation where people get money, people get taken care of, people get help, and you're like, what about me? I'm playing by all the rules. Not me personally, but you know, people that just go, I bust my ass for years and years, where's my free. Where's my. Why am I, Why am I doing this? Makes me not want to pay taxes, I'll tell you that. When they go somewhere, you don't know, to a high speed rail or something in L. A, you go, I hate you.

[B]

I wish I could. When I hand my check over the irs, you know, just hand it to him, go, hey guys, can I just say something for a second? Yeah, could you? I'm so glad that I was lucky in life and I made this much money. And like Arnold used to say, I love paying taxes because it meant I have a really good year, I made a lot of money. But what I would like to say them. Well, could you be really careful with how you spend the money and make sure the truly needy. I know it's a hot take. Maybe make sure the truly needy get it and not, not the scammers. Because like, come on.

[A]

I mean, I think Covid, there was so much billions flying that there's no way to track it all. So you just know we're just going to hear about all these scams and corruption in a couple years, which is tough because everyone's trying to help. And then it always. I mean, you can't even track 100 million. Try a billion. Try 50 million.

[B]

20 billion. Well, where did it go? I don't know. What are you asking me for? Because you're the secretary treasurer of state of California. I don't know where the 20 billion went.

[A]

But listen, if I'm in charge of 20 billion, a couple coats are going in my pocket. No one's going to be the wiser. I mean, that's just the way it is.

[B]

But it's nobody, It's a human thing. If you, if you had a company that had a monopoly, a complete monopoly, they would just, there'd be a little, it'd be a little dysfunctional. So hud gets about 500 billion a year sent to it. Spread it around, you know, no one.

[A]

Even asks what happens.

[B]

Like, oh no, you have to spend all the money so you can get the funding, you know, for the following year. You can't say, you know, we're hud, we took care of everyone. Here's a hundred billion back. Right?

[A]

That doesn't happen that much.

[B]

I don't know. I'm, I, I may run for governor.

[A]

Yeah, I would vote for you.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Just to hear the impressions.

[B]

I'll run is out or.

[A]

And what else? Oh, yeah, let's go to more stories. Greg, throw up a story and then I'll give you some movies.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Any stories? Greg, wake up.

[B]

Greg, wake up. He like our audience. Oh, young daters left.

[A]

Wait. Young daters confront a relationship killer. The swag gap. So are they saying one of the people has a great style and one doesn't? Bieber is sort of known for his style. I mean, Haley Baber Bieber obviously looks great and she always dresses well.

[B]

This is, this is a classic thing.

[A]

Of like Chandler and Jackie.

[B]

We're in 2026 now and women generally speaking, have to show a lot of skin. You know, men would be at a he Might could be in a tuxedo, but men are all covered up and women have to show. I mean, women are freezing half the time there just.

[A]

I don't. I don't know.

[B]

Heather can weigh in on this, but seems. That seems very cold if it's like 40 degrees out there.

[A]

But is it for her? You mean for.

[B]

For her?

[A]

Well, he's wearing shorts too.

[B]

Well, yeah, it's. In this particular case, yes. But the other thing, and maybe Adam, our good friend Adam Sandler was the first one to adapt. You know, really loose, loose sweatpants. You know, I mean, how's it look? Or shorts. And then I think all the young people just are basically doing Adam Sandler.

[A]

Yeah, I think there's comfortable. I think guys can get away with even just a white T shirt or a black T shirt and jeans. And I think that's kind of baked in. And the. And the women have more pressure to like sort of dollop. I do like women when they're into sweats and sweatshirts and very casual. I think it's super cute, but big banana clip in their hair. But I don't know if this is as big of a. Of a problem in the world as we think. The swag gap, I think it's one of those things for a story for.

[B]

A week and then, well, Justin B, he's worth 300 million. She's on her way to a billion with her product line. So they're probably not a typical couple to talk about.

[A]

Is money any problem for them?

[B]

It's no longer an issue. What do you mean not an issue? Well, it's just not a. Not an issue at all.

[A]

No, no.

[B]

Reggie, I just sold my car online. Let's go, grandpa. Wait, you did? 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. Yeah, they're even picking it up tomorrow. Talk about fast. Wow.

I'm actually. I'm actually curious.

[A]

Okay. I would say at number five, the Housemaid.

[B]

Did you see it?

[A]

I did not see it, but I feel like that's going to fall around 5. I will say Begonia is very interesting.

[B]

I haven't seen it, but I like the actors in it.

[A]

Jesse, Emma Stone.

[B]

And I like the premise of it. His buddy is great, conspiratorial. Guys think she's an alien or something. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. And I mean, it's a little rough on the edges. Like, it's not as hard. I mean, it's not as easy to predict as I thought, but it's very interesting. Yeah. Obviously great director. Well done. That's the kind that we're. When I. Because I do movies, I'm in the business, so I. I can tell it didn't cost as much as it could.

[B]

And one single location, if you hold.

[A]

A hostage, it's pretty much a hostage movie. And. And you go, oh, my God, that's such a. And they have a lot of dialogue, which was making me crazy because when I was just thinking of Jesse Plummonds, he has a lot of speeches like.

[B]

Oh, I couldn't rate that kid that young.

[A]

He looked really cool in it, too. And Emma Stone, again from Arizona, again does a great job.

[B]

She just knows how to do this. She can't not be great.

[A]

She plays like a cocky executive. And. And with a lot of executive corporate speak when she's talking to her kidnappers, it's kind of funny.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's funny in parts.

[B]

Also, she's. She's something else. What was the movie she did with Ryan Gosling where they're dancing all around La La Land. La La Land. So she gave me a nice compliment at a Saturday Night Live party. She's very sweet, and she was such a fan that we're going down the hallway and she goes, let's get a picture. Let's redo the picture. So it was the cast I was with, with Lovett's and Phil and Nora, and I got in a position like I did from the 80s, and. And then she took Jan Hooks, his thing.

[A]

Oh, really?

[B]

Other friends around and took this picture. And then at the party, she said some nice things, really sweet things to me, and So I said, yeah. I just want to say that one of the best pieces of acting I've seen in film is in La La Land, when you bomb the audition and they weren't paying attention to you. And the way she slowly. The camera stayed on her and she started to cry. I mean, it was pretty spectacular.

[A]

You know, you're good at. You pick a specific thing instead of a general thing.

[B]

Yeah. You can't say you're just great. That means nothing.

[A]

I say you're good in the acting business.

[B]

I just say to you, I'd say Dandelion, that first joke that you did. Did about corn dogs.

[A]

Good guess. Nothing important. My whole special. Not really tackling.

[B]

Comedy special.

[A]

I know it's a comedy special. That was on Amazon. Meep.

[B]

Okay. What are your other movies? Because I can't even remember the movie.

[A]

That might be my list. Let me see if I can. What are the.

[B]

What are the big movies? I mean, I would say for me, off top my head, I thought Weapons was.

[A]

Oh, yeah, you liked Weapons, which I'll say. I'll put it in the top five because you.

[B]

But I will say. And it was a conscious choice on their part because they didn't do a feel good ending. I'm saying, minimum, a hundred million dollars they lost.

[A]

Oh, right. I know what you mean. I've heard of movies go back and redo it. We just heard this Rob Reiner, I think it's. Maybe it's When Harry Met Sally.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He met his wife during the filming and then she said, how does it end? And she goes, I wouldn't do that. Isn't that cool?

[B]

And you. Yeah. And over time, she probably has that kind of thing. She could. A woman could say.

[A]

Right. You need that perspective to say, but a happy ending, especially a movie like that, is really the way to go.

[B]

Well, our guy, Kevin o', Leary, he was upset because Marty supreme is another movie. That is really great.

[A]

Keep so much. Oh, we didn't even air him yet.

[B]

And the ending is sort of controversial.

[A]

But yeah, yeah, he was blabbing, so it was good to hear that. So.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, that'll be.

[A]

There weren't really any spoilers, though, because he said I, you know, he knew he would have gotten in trouble.

[B]

Well, let me.

[A]

But he gave real opinions about it.

[B]

He did. He had a lot to say about the movie. It's just. Stay tuned to that podcast to be interesting. Okay, here's my Summer three. I want to hear your choice of this, the Summer 3, which was the latest mission impossible, the submarine sequence F1 with Brad Pit Fu.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Or Scarlet Johansson in the new Jurassic Park. Those are the three summer big movie tent Polar busters. Busters out of those. Yeah, you have five seconds.

[A]

I mean, Jurassic park is out because it's the same movie every time. Avatar. The first two hours. I thought it was the Smurfs movie. And also Avatar. That Talk about the same movie. I'm like, do I want to see poor James Cameron? Obviously.

[B]

Poor James Cameron.

[A]

Poor James Cameron. Money is an issue for him.

[B]

It's not an issue.

[A]

And also that he. He. I can predict. It's like the locals are being picked on by some big government thing and they're shooting arrows at him and they. And it's just. That was the first couple I've seen. The first five I saw. And now there's nine more coming. If I was him. Because there's a rumor he's gonna do this other movie. And I was like, that other movie sounds cooler. Like Fantastic Voyage or something.

[B]

Yeah. I would divide movies this way. Movies that you connect to and movies that you don't connect to. So the ones you connect to you can go into sort of a waking dream state. And that's what a great movie is for. And it's an individual taste. If you're inside Three Days the Condor, you're just inside this fever dream of this great movie. Avatar. Not on that list for me. 2001 alien. I mean, you know James Cameron, he's brilliant. You know, so. But I. Of the three, you know, the one that got me the most was a Jurassic Park. Of those summer blockbusters did. I thought it mixed it up enough and I got. I got connected to the movie. I also. I enjoyed F1. All three did well. Because how many people are going to go to a movie theater when they've got a 75 inch surround sound? So they.

[A]

The fact Looney have that not everyone else.

[B]

Money's not an issue. But even. Yeah. For a homeless person. Money. That's not a new book. Money is not an issue.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's your next special.

[A]

That's a good special. Shit, I got to do another special if I got that title.

[B]

But I will say this right now as a blink thing without giving it away. Housemaid might be the movie that I connected to the most. A sleeper.

[A]

Wow. Okay.

[B]

And I'm going to see it again.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

It. I'll bring my wife because. And I won't give it away. But it's just something. It's surprising, it's emotional.

[A]

I'll see it. I'll see it, then we'll talk. And we can give it away, but are you going to see it at your local bijou up there?

[B]

I did see it at a theater up here. Stadium seating. Oh, yeah. Stadium sitting in the back, in the dark. Popcorn. Lightly salted lice. Cold soda. Cell phone clicked off silent. 35 minutes of previews. Yes.

[A]

40 minutes of commercials.

[B]

She didn't believe him, but he wanted to kill her. You know, come on. Movie.

[A]

Then Nicole Kidman. Clip, clop. Walking her heels. Amc. We got it. You sit down, get lost, move on.

[B]

Nicole Kidman is a force in nature.

[A]

I don't know. You know, my favorite is the Dolby commercial. It's like, Dolby Sound. They should. They interview directors. I'm like, do I have a choice of the sound in a movie? I. Why are you selling this to me? I'm here. I didn't make the movie. I'm not gonna go pick Dole. I don't know what's going on. They go, we do all our movies in Dolby.

[B]

We used to do it. We used to have a system called Loud sound. Yeah, Loud sound was the loudest sound you can get. Now we have Dolby. Now we have Shaker Brain Sound. Sometimes it's right on the edge. Sometimes it's kind of like so loud.

[A]

I wear earplugs. Don't even.

[B]

Do you really? Geez. Dandy. She's Dandelion.

[A]

Okay, I put two little.

[B]

But, but, but Paul Feigon are. Oh, there you go. We have Paul Fig on our. And now I'm saying that maybe his movie was the one that I got me the most this year. Good. Sydney Sweeney, too.

[A]

Wait, Heather, tell me before we move on, what was the movie you said I liked? Oh, I was just asking about Marty Sukkah Supreme. Oh, Marty Supreme. I didn't. I didn't see it yet, but I will. So my top movies are number five. Housemaid I Didn't See is Up Toward the Top. I did see. And the other ones we don't know yet.

[B]

Should we throw a bone to our buddy Jack Black? Because when he came on. Right.

[A]

Anaconda, Minecraft. Oh, Minecraft.

[B]

And we broke. Yeah, we did. I. Yeah, but we broke down the numbers for him. And he goes, it'd be great if it went to 800 million. I said, it's going to a billion. Guess where it just crossed about two weeks ago. A B.1 billion.

[A]

I did like that. He did Anaconda, which I probably will see because it's a comedy, and there's just not that many that I like him and I like Paul Rudd. So.

[B]

Yeah, that sounds like something that would be fun.

[A]

And also, like, they're making anaconda. They're not just doing the movie. They're like. It's like a behind the scenes or something weird. So I like the angle. Uhhuh.

[B]

I. I love anaconda movies where someone's being swallowed and their legs are outside the jaws going like this.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

People went, get a. Get a rope. And they never.

[A]

In the JLO one.

[B]

It.

[A]

It got her. I remember this part. And it was squeezing her so hard that her butt kept getting bigger.

[B]

And then the box office receipts got bigger. And then the snake goes.

[A]

Then he forgot what he's doing and he left.

[B]

Yeah. And the snake's eating a mouse and kind of goes, what?

[A]

Yeah. How big are the mice? You have to feed that anaconda. It's 80ft long.

[B]

I don't know. It's a rough life for an anaconda. He's got a tire in there. He's got a small refrigerator in there. I mean, he's constipated. I mean, it's not a good life. What?

[A]

They.

[B]

They don't know what they're eating an old radiator.

[A]

He's like.

[B]

Okay, yeah. So that's. And then predictions. Any quick blink, 20, 26 predictions.

[A]

No, we do have more stories, but let's.

[B]

Oh, let's. Let's. Let's give a story. Give me. Give me a story.

[A]

Give me anything.

[B]

Oh, yes.

[A]

Oh, how Sweden repairs potholes. This is needed on Fairfax and Los Angele. I like. Is that part of it or is that a song?

[B]

They just spray it and that's it.

[A]

Spray it with tar. Right. If you look, there's not really a pothole there, but they're demonstrating it. That you fill it up and make it smooth.

[B]

But does it. How. How soon does it dry? You don't. You have to cord.

[A]

It takes about 30 to 40 minutes.

[B]

Really?

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

That was a pretty good guess. It's. Yeah. All right, well, everything.

[A]

Maybe I'll just buy one of these machines and then casually at night, go.

[B]

Down there and go, everything's coming from this guy now. Grocery, everything. Asphalt fixers, horses will be delivered. Everything.

[A]

Good biz. Oh, watch this one. This is funny. This is a. This is a weird one. And you're gonna like it.

[D]

Hear the world changing news that David Spade and Dana Carney skied last week down the tallest mountain in Antarctica. No one has ever skied down it. This is in the center of Antarctica, and that is David Spade there. You can see he's quite proficient at skiing. A lot of people are like, I knew David Spade was a comedian. I knew Dana Carney was a comedian, actor, laborer from the Hollywoods. We didn't know they could ski. Well, they can. They had their stuff shipped up to the top of the mountain. Because I'm going to call hike with skis on their backs. This is them hiking up. They're also fantastic.

[B]

35,000 views. He's getting more views than.

[D]

Because this wasn't an easy mountain to summit.

[A]

Because everyone can't believe that was our.

[D]

Guy Jimmy Helicopter delivering their skis. And then you can see here from this view. There's Dana Carvey right there. And he is very good at skiing as well. Both of us.

[B]

He got Carvey. You're inspiring three versions of skills.

[D]

What's next? What are you guys gonna do next?

[A]

Everyone's asking.

[B]

We do next. We're gonna make a video about you skiing down a hill. Okay, how about that?

[A]

Dude, I'm still sore from that because my quads really took it on that drop.

[B]

I actually. My legs are so oversized for my body, I have to kind of hide them. You know, I remember I went golfing with Sandler once and I had just basic running shorts on. He goes, carvey, what's with your legs? Because they. First from running. I was like a T. Rex. I had no upper body and giant legs from running.

[A]

He sometimes when we're bored, it's late on his shoot, he talks about your legs.

[B]

I like them now because you don't want to have little pins. At my age, you want to have big, stout, chunky legs.

[A]

I have Carry Underwood legs. I'm not worried about me.

[B]

Other people's words, they're a little feminine. Yeah, I.

[A]

Wait a second.

[B]

When you hosted snl, weren't you kind of bare legged or something?

[A]

I did. I hate when they make you take your shirt off. And snl, I can't stand it.

[B]

But he can't make you.

[A]

I go, I have to. Lauren will get mad.

[B]

I take my shirt off all the time. You just don't see it.

[A]

Lauren takes it off a halfway through read through. Anyone else hot?

[B]

It'd be really nice if 2026 started off with like a really good show.

[A]

As opposed to a bad funny sketches. Marcelo, maybe. Sebastian.

[B]

I love one because writers really don't like reoccurring as much. But when Lauren got a hold of a hit, he'd be like, could we do A bush. You know, it was like, yeah, senior. But, yeah, Marcelo should bring. Bring him back and put him in a situation like he's at a car wash or something where he does all.

[A]

A regular job or something.

[B]

Yeah, he's in some situation that's that. You wouldn't expect him to do all that stuff. You know, maybe he gets a traffic ticket. You go on my car over here within the lane, you know, I don't know.

[A]

He has to ask the cop if he can get out so he can do all his moves. Yeah. I have a question. Can I get out of the car, sir?

[B]

But that's good. He's got a reoccurring impression. That's good.

[A]

Yeah. All right, well, let's wrap it up on that. We're exciting to see you, and thank you for listening, everyone. The numbers are phenomenal. We're doing great.

[B]

We're doing. We're just unbelievable. Every time I go on the chart, I go, really? And then I always look at the podcast ranked behind us. That's my guilty pleasure. I'm like, oh, I can't believe it. 128. No, we don't.

[A]

What? When you see someone, it's bombing. It's too stressful.

[B]

There's. There's 3 million of them. 128's awesome.

[A]

There's literally 3 million podcasts. Yeah, we aren't 128. So don't think.

[B]

No, no, that's the. Some of our people we know, we're okay.

[A]

We're killing it. All right, listen, Everybody.

[B]

Happy, happy 2026. And enjoy the ride. And we'll. We'll see you next year. We'll see you throughout the year. We're going to be your guide through 2026.
