Welcome to this happy hour episode of Kennedy Saves the World. Steve Byrne is with me. He is a comic, he is an actor. He sells out stand up shows across the country. You've seen him on Fox News Saturday Night with Jimmy Faith. You've seen him on Gutfeld, and he is here with me today. Steve, let's toast to the Kia royale.
- [00:30]
A
Yeah.
- [00:31]
B
An underappreciated champagne cocktail and to your continuing success.
- [00:35]
A
Well, cheers. Cheers to you. Thanks for having me and doing this. And that gives me another. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You make this? That's dangerous.
- [00:47]
B
They're always dangerous.
- [00:48]
A
Ooh, this is good.
- [00:50]
B
Can't taste the liquor.
- [00:51]
A
The train's left the station. Someone's getting in trouble.
- [00:55]
B
Chicka chicka bow bow.
- [00:57]
A
Let me put my card down and it's all on me from here on out.
- [01:00]
B
That is a lovely cocktail. It was one of the star cocktails in Emily in Paris. Did you watch Emily in Paris?
- [01:07]
A
No, I'm heterosexual.
- [01:10]
B
Did your wife.
- [01:12]
A
I don't, I don't talk to her. She just cleans and. No, no, she. I don't know if she has to be honest with you. She watches garbage when you go out of town. Yeah.
- [01:22]
B
I guarantee you she watches stuff like that.
- [01:25]
A
Yeah, stuff like that. And throw some D batteries in the nightstand. We'll leave it at that. I'm going quite a bit, guys.
- [01:31]
B
Not the 9 volts, though. No, it's not for that big flash flight.
- [01:35]
A
It's still working. This is fantastic, by the way.
- [01:40]
B
Thank you.
- [01:40]
A
And I gotta tell you, I got.
- [01:42]
B
The good creme de cassis.
- [01:44]
A
You don't. You. You spare no expense. But also, you know, as a comic, you get offered to do. Everybody's got a podcast in the comedy world.
- [01:51]
B
Yes.
- [01:51]
A
When I was asked to do this, I was like, 100%. This is, this is one of the coolest podcasts I've gotten to do, so thank you. You're awesome. You're. You're. You're like. You. You're synonymous with rock and roll to me. And it's a. It's a privilege to be here, so thank you.
- [02:07]
B
Yeah. Don't tell anyone who lives in my building that because they, they just think I'm the. The odd homeless lady who talks to her dog too much. And sadly, my dog is deaf. So it's really just a word.
- [02:20]
A
My audiences are so that, that's perfect.
- [02:22]
B
So you are. You are traveling across the country.
- [02:25]
A
Traveling across the country. I'm getting ready to. Of all things. I'm hosting Miss Universe next, next Friday in Thailand.
- [02:32]
B
So, okay, can I just give you a tiny piece of advice? Like I don't know if you'll have access to the contestants. One of my favorite things I've ever done, I was a judge on the Miss Teen USA pageant, which is part of the Miss Universe organization.
- [02:46]
A
Right.
- [02:47]
B
And so we got to interview every single one of the contestants because, you know, you have these one on one interviews, so you really get to know them and, you know, make your decision not just on the live show and some of the performances and talent aspects.
- [03:03]
A
Sure.
- [03:04]
B
But also who they are. So I asked each one of them, when's the last time you cried? And it was the most amazing thing because each one of them cried, and it wasn't just because they were teenage girls. I've tried it since then, and it really works because if you ask someone that, it takes them into a deeply personal moment.
- [03:23]
A
That is such an. That's such a. It's like, it's one of those things where you. You would think you'd have to be a psychologist to. To bring a joke like that to the table, but it's. It's so. It's such a perfect question because it opens the doors to someone being very vulnerable, especially in a situation like that, because you're going to be very honest with you. That's great.
- [03:43]
B
Yeah. And they were all so nervous. And, you know, some of them, the girl who won was in foster care. She was, you know, in 18 different foster families by the time she made it to the competition.
- [03:56]
A
She's like, this is the 19th time I cried.
- [03:59]
B
I cried because I want to get out of here because you're weird and this is inappropriate.
- [04:06]
A
You know, I just love visiting the dressing rooms. I like coming in. I like to pop in and say hello. Oh, I didn't know you girls. I didn't know this was before the swimsuit. Okay, Donnie, let's steer you the other way. But he doesn't own it anymore, I guess. No, he doesn't own Mr. Universe. Yeah, that stuff. Yeah.
- [04:22]
B
No, but it's. Those things are really fun. I hope you get to hang out with the judges, because we were sequestered. So it was in Biloxi, Mississippi, and we, you know, we got to go.
- [04:33]
A
Be sequestered in Biloxi. No one's approaching you there. Yeah, we're not breaching anything there.
- [04:38]
B
No. But afterward, the next morning, one of the contestants, mothers, after the show, saw me in the airport. And we were no longer sequestered. There was not security, so she made a beeline. It was like, why did you give my daughter such a low score?
- [04:51]
A
Oh, man. No.
- [04:53]
B
Yeah.
- [04:53]
A
No.
- [04:54]
B
So. But I'll tell you what happened.
- [04:55]
A
When our flight's delayed, you're like, mother.
- [04:57]
B
I've got a black eye and a steak on it.
- [04:59]
A
Like, I don't know, the old school 50s. Well, you. Given.
- [05:05]
B
Given.
- [05:06]
A
You've been in the public eye for. For, you know, 75 years.
- [05:10]
B
Nancy Pelosi and I went to preschool together.
- [05:13]
A
You're an outside trader. She's an inside. That's the difference.
- [05:15]
B
God, I wish I had Nancy Pelosi's insider knowledge.
- [05:19]
A
But. But given. Given all the opportunities you've had, like judging Miss Teen usa, what was the. What was, you know, just reflexively like, the. The thing that you, like. I can't believe my name brought me here. Like, I got to do this. That was so cool.
- [05:35]
B
Woodstock 94, like, without. Without question. Because it was already like camp. Because they put all of the MTV VJs, all the MTV news anchors and correspondents from every part of the country, all on one bus.
- [05:49]
A
Oh, my God.
- [05:50]
B
And drove us upstate. And so. And we were going over, like, our research books and. And laughing and. And then to get to see that incredible music, right? And the mud people. And it was raining, and we were all together, and it was so much fun. And it was one of those things that was. We knew it was a great time in the moment. Cause it felt like camp. We didn't know that it was like a seminal, legendary, like, defining cultural moment for us.
- [06:16]
A
Right. And to compare it to the prior Woodstock and be as significant must have been. I mean, you were part of it. That was crazy.
- [06:24]
B
Yeah, it was. That was awesome and so much fun. So, you know, looking back, and there were so many things like that, you know, even, like the MTV beach house and the ski house and all that stuff, because we looked forward to our time off camera when we weren't in makeup and we weren't on mic so we could go screw around with everyone we worked with. Because it was all. Everyone who worked there was 25.
- [06:49]
A
Right, right.
- [06:50]
B
And so. And I have a chapter in my book about the beach house called It's Not Working. They're all. Because they tried to have all the producers live in the beach house, which was great for two weeks.
- [07:03]
A
And the talent.
- [07:04]
B
The talent, they. They put us at the Inn at Quag. But the producers, they were like, ah, they're fine. They're kids. You know, they can sleep in bunk beds, right? And they. They all started screwing around, right? And then they broke up and Then after three weeks, no one was talking to each other. Yeah. And my boss, like, ran back to New York, was like, it's not working. They're all.
- [07:26]
A
So the beach house is great. The ski shack was like a wreck. Everybody's staticy there, right?
- [07:31]
B
Yeah. Because it was cold. Like, no one could sleep in the hot tub.
- [07:34]
A
Yeah. Like, I remember last summer. Rick.
- [07:37]
B
So you grew up in Pittsburgh?
- [07:38]
A
Grew up in Pittsburgh. I was born in Freehold, New Jersey. So I grew up, like, I had my Phyllis Springsteen. I was like, okay, I get it. He's from here on out. So we went to Pittsburgh.
- [07:49]
B
Born to run to Pa.
- [07:50]
A
I was born to run to Pennsylvania and away from his movie. But I. Yeah, I grew up in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is like, my formative years. And then went to Kent State in Ohio and then started stand up in New York City at 22.
- [08:02]
B
And how was the scene when you started?
- [08:04]
A
Well, it's interesting. Like, when I started, I was having a conversation with someone the other day, a young comic, and. And when I started, it was like, you are carny to want to do standup in the. In the late 90s. Because it was after the 80s. Boom.
- [08:18]
B
Yeah.
- [08:19]
A
It was sports coats and what's the deal with. And so nobody wanted to do it. And the seller. Nobody was there. Like, nobody was there. You do, like, 20 people. You know, a show is. It was. It was the worst time to be a comic. But again, I think anytime you hear so many musicians talk about this, I'm sure, like, with. With MTV, those years when you're in your 20s and you're figuring all things out and you're. You're learning who you are. As bad as it was, it was like, those are the greatest years of my life. It was so fun. It was so fun. Start with Bill Burr and Kevin Hart and seeing everybody kind of glum together and some. Some of your friends peaking here, and some of your friends, like, peeking now. So it's. It's a wild world. And it. What? It what? After 911 being here. 9 11. 911 is what broke comedy back into the fold. I think I remember being here and when Estee was like, a week later like, hey, we're gonna open the cellar, it's like, do you want to come? Like, yeah. I was like, what does anybody talk about? And then hearing everybody talking about their experiences and people in the audience relating and, like, I could get emotional thinking about it, but ever since that moment, comedy just took off after that. And it was. It was so medicinal in that moment. But then it Became a cure all for everything. And there's so many instances or reasons comedies aren't being made anymore by Hollywood. So people get their comedy fix from Bill Burr or Sigurd or Chrysler. So it's become more massive than it's ever been.
- [09:42]
B
So when you talk about people who you came up with that are peaking now, are you still friends with a lot of people that you bonded with in those postnatal 11 days?
- [09:52]
A
Yeah, I think, you know, I think especially it's such a. Such a difficult world that anytime somebody gets a semblance of success or notoriety, I think the community overall feels happy for that individual. And I, more so than most, I think, because my parents hugged me. So I'm genuinely happy.
- [10:13]
B
Rare in comedy.
- [10:14]
A
Very rare in comedy. Yeah.
- [10:16]
B
But can I tell you a funny story very quickly? Don't forget where you were gonna go with that, please. So there was a writer on Conan o'. Brien. Ok. And I'm not gonna say who it was. Hysterical guy, so funny, amazing. And he, he would be on every once in a while as a character. In the early days of Conan, he was so good and. But he had a hard time attaching to people emotionally on a. On a deeper emotional level. And. And so comedy was something he used to, like, ease the pain of that.
- [10:49]
A
Sure.
- [10:49]
B
Difficulty attaching. And so he asked his parents, you know, like, did you guys hug me when I was a kid? And they're like, no. Like, your dad and I smoked so much. Like, we didn't want you to smell like smoke, so we almost never picked you up. And he was like, that explains everything.
- [11:08]
A
Just from six months to, like three years, just constantly like this and just, oh, my God. I mean, it is, you know, it is. It's the wild west of show business, I think, stand up because it's so unregulated. There's no unions to it. It's just. It's almost like hockey. Everybody's policing it because you can't steal. And if you even come close to the mark on somebody, some would say, oh, you know, so and so has a bit just like that. So I think it's. It's a wild world. But, yeah, I mean, it is. I think the fuel in the tank stems from childhood issues, you know, which is pretty universal. Yeah.
- [11:45]
B
And it's just. It's a different way. Like, I'd rather see someone work through their issues on stage, and it's much more difficult and take so much more nuance for someone to find the humor in something that is supposed to be sacred. And off limits, as opposed to, you know, the. The wave of people on social media now going, my mental health.
- [12:07]
A
Oh, my God.
- [12:08]
B
And it's like everyone wants to talk about, you know, just roiling in their mental sickness, but no one wants to get better. Like, no one wants to figure out how to get past it, how to learn from it. And, you know, comedy kind of naturally does that.
- [12:22]
A
Yeah, it is. I think it's as. It's as giving, you know, that the audience receiving as it is for the comic, for the most part, that's doing it. Right. I think they're. They're getting something from it. And then over time, you develop into whom you want to be. But what brought you there in the first place is. Is a lot like that. But, you know, for someone like Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock to get philosophical, and then somebody like Bert Kreischer who's going to rip his shirt off and give you an excuse to party, there's many different facets of. Of what your voice develops into. But that starting point, that Flashpoint stems from something that hurts, that says, let me work this out, and let me work it out in a very safe form. Yes, in the worst possible way. Because when you're bombing those first few years, there's nothing worse than it. And I was talking to young comic. I'm like, when you first start doing it, it's like getting permanent mark on your face. It'll be there for a day or two and it'll eventually wash off, so just relax. And then I think now it's like I'm 25 years in. It's just like joke bombs. All right. It's just part of the biz, you know?
- [13:25]
B
But isn't that the great thing about being in your 50s? I mean, I just love it, like. Like truly not giving a. If, like, if someone doesn't like something. Because in my 20s, like, I would have been devastated. Absolute. So worried about being judged and ostracized, which was difficult because I was a very impulsive person. So I was bound to. You know, for example, at the Jon Stewart show, before he went to the Daily show, he had a talk show on mtv.
- [13:52]
A
Yes, I remember that.
- [13:53]
B
And so they would. They would block off the studio, and he would record at night, and he had Rod Stewart on. And so. And I had eaten a bunch of chocolate from the craft service table, and I went into Rod Stewart's dressing room, and I was like, did they really pump a quart of semen out of your stomach? And it's like, as soon as I said it, I couldn't take it back. And I got in so much trouble for that.
- [14:14]
A
Hi, I'm Kennedy. I have a follow up.
- [14:17]
B
Yeah, nice to see you. Big fan. Rod.
- [14:20]
A
You start off with the 32 ounce bone in tomahawk. You gotta give. Get a drink order first, Kennedy, Maybe.
- [14:27]
B
An appetizer, nice little chopped salad.
- [14:30]
A
Because, like, you've always, I don't know, just, just seeing you over the years especially, what, in those MTV years, you were so cool. You were almost a rock star yourself. You were such a fun personality. And I think that that story exhibits why you got the job.
- [14:46]
B
But I was, I was so, like, worried that people didn't like me. And I was, I was, you know, always in my head like, oh, what did I say? Why? Like, I would wake up every morning going, why did I say that? But like, now my fifth is. I'm like, yeah, good poker, bad.
- [14:59]
A
Yeah, but you were so genuine to yourself even in that moment that, like, that's, that is a crazy thing to say to somebody.
- [15:06]
B
Don't go anywhere. More Kennedy saves the world right after this.
- [15:10]

How PG or PG 13? Or what is this? Is this.
- [15:28]
B
If it's bad, they'll bleep it.
- [15:29]
A
Okay, I have a story for you. I, I had a friend of mine and he. This reminds me of a story. So, so we're, we're in a bar in New Orleans. He's a great comedian, like one of my favorite comics. His name is Michael Connell. He wouldn't mind me saying this. He started with Ken Jeong. So they did this kind of like, weird character thing and Judd Apatow actually bought a script by them and they were going to do this thing where Ken was a Korean foreign exchange student and Mike is this crazy guy that talks like Orson Welles. And they had this viral video. So we're, we're out one night and we're. There's an A list actress. I won't say her name to protect, but she comes up after the show and she's with her aunt. And her aunt's. Her aunt is probably in her late 50s, but still, like, attractive. And we're like, probably in her 20s at the time. And I'm like, Mike, I just meet this Actress and her aunt and I go, mike, come over here, meet everybody. And I go, guys, this is Mike o'. Connell. And they go, oh, you did a great job. And Mike looked right at the aunt who's in his late 50s, and he said, what I wouldn't do to take you into an alley and perform on you. I was like, mike, how about, hi, I'm Mike.
- [16:35]
B
How.
- [16:36]
A
Hi. Can I get you ladies a drink?
- [16:38]
B
Yeah, it just like out of the gates, the 58 year old was like, where's the back door?
- [16:45]
A
Let me stretch here a little bit. I haven't done this for a God. Blebs. But it was it like to just impulsively do that? That's hilarious.
- [16:54]
B
Yeah.
- [16:54]
A
Oh, I'll. I'll take that down.
- [16:55]
B
Oh, my gosh. I already went through my entire Kim Royale. What is wrong with me?
- [17:01]
A
I had like. I didn't even. I. I just got it. I feel like I just got here. I gotta catch up with you now.
- [17:05]
B
Please do, Steve.
- [17:06]
A
This is crazy.
- [17:07]
B
Kennedy, do you know Meghan Markle?
- [17:10]
A
Do I know her? I do not know her. No. I have tangents to her. Okay.
- [17:16]
B
What do your tangents say?
- [17:18]
A
My tangents? Yeah. I think what you see is what you get.
- [17:25]
B
So she is an annoying, controlling shrew.
- [17:33]
A
I'm in a bit. I'm in a bit of a corner, but. Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you after. Ask the next question. Yeah, whatever you want.
- [17:41]
B
What was it like working on Sullivan in Sons? Or is it just son?
- [17:45]
A
Greatest three years of my life. Because as a comic, you moved to Los Angeles thinking, yeah, yeah, that's it.
- [17:50]
B
Like, that's all you want.
- [17:52]
A
I did it. I went to Warner Brothers every day. I had the keys to the studio. I would go and visit on my own. I was a star. I was a writer. I got to work with an incredible cast of people. Christine Ebersol, who won Tony Awards, and Dan Laurie of the down and Wonder Years. Jody Long, who won an Emmy. Brian Doyle Murray. I mean, the backbone of Second City, into SNL and everything that stemmed from that. And then just a young core, great comics. Val Aslan and Vivian Bang. And to have a cast of nine people. And it was great because we had veterans and then we had a bunch of kids that had never been on TV before.
- [18:29]
B
And where were you in that spectrum?
- [18:31]
A
Oh, I was. I was definitely on the. You know, this is the first thing I'd ever done. I'd done like five lines on, you know, the middle. But Vince Vaughn and I used to hike up to the Hollywood Hills to the sign all the time. He said, you should write for yourself. So I've never written anything. He said, you should write. You can do it. And that's all it took. And then I was like, if he's telling me I can write, I can write. So I wrote a pilot, and the first TV pilot I wrote got crafted with Rob Long. It got on the air, and I'm telling you, I look back on that time, and it was just before streaming. Like, streaming was around, like Netflix was around. But nothing really hit. People were still watching traditional television. So we're on TVS in the summer, and it was. It was just the greatest. And what happened was our show was a bar, so when we kicked the studio audience out, we turned it into a bar. So we. We did the taping.
- [19:20]
B
Oh, legit.
- [19:20]
A
And then we went full tilt.
- [19:22]
B
Yeah.
- [19:23]
A
Like. Like golf carts, like back in the Jurassic park where the dinosaurs taking off. We would get letters all the time. You guys got to stop drinking. You got to stop smoking. You were smelling things. You got to stop partying. It's not acceptable. And it was just like, I don't know when I'm gonna leave here, so I'm just gonna have a blast. And Conan. Conan's people would always tell on us because you'd be in these sound stages, and when it's lit like this, it's great.
- [19:49]
B
Yeah.
- [19:49]
A
When it's not lit, it's just a dull. It's cold, empty, and gray. Right. So we'd always go outside, and it was like four or five of us, and we'd throw a football, and Owen Benjamin could throw, like, 70 yards, and he'd throw these bombs, and he almost killed Clint Eastwood one day.
- [20:04]
B
I think the Browns could use him.
- [20:06]
A
The Browns could use him. The Steelers could use him. But to answer your question, I'll just say that it was everything you ever dream of. And they get three seasons out of it. And it's on Tubi now. It's on Tubi. And it's just a great throwback sitcom. And we had writers that just said, we're on in the summer. Let's just say whatever we want. And the jokes are. There's, like, hard, crazy jokes I would back on. I'm like, I can't believe we made Brian Doer Murray say that. That's crazy. Or Christine Eversole, winner, two Tony Awards, breaking up a cockfight. Literally a cockfight holding two, like, roosters, and it's like, two Tony Awards crazy.
- [20:41]
B
They're both, like, little trophies to her now. So what do you want to do? What is next? Are you striving or are you like. I am so content right now that if I got cast in another sitcom, I would say, no.
- [20:55]
A
No. I think after having done it, I think a lot of people. I think the consensus in Hollywood is like, well, you got to get another show. You got it. I was like, well, I did it. And I. It was a lot of fun, but I like to do something else. So then I wrote a script called the Opening act about a comedian's first time on the road. And it was the first script I wrote, and that got made.
- [21:11]
B
Nice.
- [21:12]
A
And so I did that. Now I'm about ready to film another film I wrote. Direct a film I wrote about. This will be the bigger one I've done. But it's about Caltech's. Caltech's basketball team. It's a true story about. Caltech has the longest losing streak in College basketball history. 30 years. They won a single game.
- [21:31]
B
Okay.
- [21:31]
A
So a coach comes in thinking, I'm going to turn this program around and get there. And it's Asian and Indian and black and white nerds. He's like, oh, my God, we're not going the championship. We're not going to playoffs. I got to get these kids to just win once. So that's the whole movie. Just win one game.
- [21:45]
B
Oh, that's incredible.
- [21:46]
A
And it's a true story. And I got to know Coach Oliver Esslinger. I interviewed him for a few months and wrote it. So now we're on the precipice of getting ready to ship off to film that. So. So I.
- [21:58]
B
That's incredible. And then you make fun, or you make friends, rather, with a bunch of guys who will soon be billionaires.
- [22:04]
A
That's right. Yes. Well, it's interesting. It's like I was talking to Coach Essinger. I was like. I was like, so what are these guys like? He's like, well, in the summer, these guys would go work for Uber. He's like, they wouldn't work an Uber car. They would literally go and work for Uber and help design Uber. So, yeah, to your point, it's like they're. They're such. I mean, they're rocket scientists. It's unbelievable.
- [22:23]
B
That's incredible. Well, I can't wait to see your movies. Plural.
- [22:29]
A
Can I ask you one question before we go?
- [22:30]
B
Yes.
- [22:30]
A
Is your closet like. Like. Like, JLo must have, like, a million boots and heels and shoes. Is your closet like frames? Are you like a Warby Parker? Like, when I walk in Is that your house? Like, is that just. You have a room dedicated.
- [22:47]
B
I have so many glasses. But the problem is lenses are so expensive. Like, anyone can buy frames now. It's the lenses that. That kill you because you get very specific frame. They have to be thin, they have to be glare free. They have to block blue light. This part has to be clear because I can't read with my far away lenses. So it's like. It's so stupid. So that. That is the only thing that keeps me from being, like, truly Elton Drawn.
- [23:10]
A
Okay.
- [23:12]
B
And my youngest daughter. Actually, both my daughters wear glasses, but my youngest wears them more often, so she goes through my collection from the 90s. She's like, oh, my God. Those are my. Yeah, those probably have fluids from. Oh, a couple of guys from Jane's Addiction on them, so.
- [23:30]
A
Oh, my God.
- [23:32]
B
Don't put them under a black line.
- [23:33]
A
You paid a picture. I. I remember this one comic in New York City. This was my favorite open, because whenever you, you, you, you just. You introduce the next comic, right? You tag team. That's what you tag team the show. So, like, you were to bring me up. Then I bring up the next person. One of my favorite lines was from a comedian named Josh Hannis. And I was like, josh, what do you want me to say? He's like, you just say, this next comic took a. @ CBGB's. Josh Hannis. He's like, if they get it, they'll get it. I'm like, I've been there, and it's disgusting. And. Yeah, I get it. I have one question for you, though. When's the last time you cried?
- [24:06]
B
Oh, that's a good question. It's probably like two days ago. Yeah, it's probably like looking at my dog because he's gonna be 10 tomorrow. Just looking like 10. Yeah. And he's a French bulldog, so they don't. Yeah, yeah. It's like we're on borrowed time. Officially. We're on borrowed time.
- [24:20]
A
Good run?
- [24:20]
B
Yeah, we've had a great run. Great run. And I look at him like, I love you so much.
- [24:26]
A
Well, he could run for president.
- [24:28]
B
He could. Yeah, he'd be. He'd be too spry, though. I mean, he's only 70 in D.C. here, so in a good 20 years or three in dog years.
- [24:37]
A
Like, can I ask you one question, though?
- [24:38]
B
Yeah, yeah. That's your 15. Go ahead.
- [24:42]
A
Okay. When you. When you hit it big in your mind, what was the first thing you got for yourself that was like, oh, this is my victory lap. I finally get to do this. Oh.
- [24:51]
B
It was a crushed velvet burgundy Betsy Johnson catsuit with hot pants. And I was like, yes.
- [25:01]
A
That is. That. That couldn't be a better answer. That is so you.
- [25:06]
B
The most 90s thing you could possibly wear.
- [25:08]
A
That's great. Yeah, man. That's awesome.
- [25:11]
B
Well, I toast you, but I'm all out of my Kia Royale.
- [25:14]
A
I'm going to finish this one.
- [25:15]
B
Okay. Please do.

A
Yeah, I got to catch up to you. You are. You're. You're a mad lady. I can't believe how I gotta. Okay, here we go.

B

- [25:32]
A
Choking on a raspberry. I didn't chew it. I treated it like an ice cube. And I just took two raspberries down at the same time, and I thought, I'm gonna die in front of Kennedy.
- [25:44]
B
That has to be a euphemism for something.
- [25:47]
A
Yeah. Okay, I did it. Everything's fine.
