Rob
Not today.
Normally when I see people on the street or whatever, they'll just say like, oh, I love the pod. Which 90 of the time. I know that means they just watch the social media clips, you know, so I'm just like, oh, whatever. But yesterday I was walking on the street and some guy sang the whole theme song. Like I was walking by and he was like, whoa. Like he went into it and I was like, oh. Like it was like. Because you're used to hearing like, yeah, like, like Sopranos or whatever with that. That was the first time I had ever heard that. I was like, whoa.
Jamie
I actually. That is so cool. I forgot to tell you. So I went out the other night to see Garth Brooks, by the way, the murderer himself.
Rob
Wow. I'm surprised they let you. They don't have face recognition.
Jamie
No.
Rob
Have you banned?
Jamie
No. No. He was in jovial mood, so probably fresh off a kill, you know. But right after we went to, we went to a bar which like I haven't been to bars and in Austin ever. And it was like, you know, all 20 something to me and a few of my girlfriends and I had multiple young people come up to me, recognize me being like, I've never seen Sopranos, but I love the pod.
Rob
Really. See, I think that they all mean social media. People got to start watching the pod, whatever it is. I know we need to get the people onto the pod. Yeah. To watch the pot.
Jamie
Keep doing it without you listening.
Rob
Yeah, come, come watch the pot. But you, you look jacked. We just picked you up from Pilates. Look at Jamie looking jacked. Yeah, very good.
Jamie
Thanks.
Rob
You don't look. How old are we?
Jamie
44.
Rob
44 when you're coming out of Pilates. You didn't look like a 44 year old lady.
Jamie
Rob did tell me when I got in the car, he goes, look at you. You look like a 20 year old coming out of Pilates.
Rob
You really did.
Jamie
Thank you, Rob.
Rob
Yeah, I was like, that doesn't look like our 44 year old Yami.
Jamie
It's just the long pony, you know.
Rob
Yeah. Your athleisure wear.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Let'S go. So Jamie was very excited. She sent in a video.
Jamie
Two. I have two videos.
Rob
Two videos. So you sent. Okay, Jamie has videos.
Jamie
The one at the. This one at the gym. I was wondering, what would you do? Would you like to watch this guy while you were working out, or would this annoy you is my question.
Rob
Oh, I like this.
Jamie
Look at this, look at this. Just wait, just wait. Look at it. Look at that. Look at that. Oh, oh, oh. Hey, that's some open hip flexors right there.
I could. I would be. If I was on the elliptical watching this guy, I could do it for an hour.
Rob
Yeah, that's true.
Jamie
You wouldn't be mad at this?
Rob
See, the girls get so excited from him doing this that they have to cover the screens over there with plastic wrap because he's just such a sexy guy.
Jamie
Oh, he's punching now. Look at this.
Rob
Wow. See, you know what always gets me, like, that's.
Jamie
By the way, that's not easy to do.
Rob
I've seen that before. What always gets. What puzzles me is like, how did he learn this? Like, how did. I want to see, like, the trial and I want to see. Like, the first time he tried to do this was just like bashing his head.
Jamie
I bet he was doing it on just one and then was like, I wonder if I could like, sidestep.
Rob
There's probably someone who's like, really sick with it. But, like, here's the thing. If this guy was like a 6 foot 4 athlete, it might annoy me. Like, if he was like a fucking starting quarterback for like, UT or whatever, I'd be like, come on, clean it. Like, what are you doing? You're trying to be. But like, I love that he's just like this little old guy who's like doing his thing, you know?
Jamie
Okay, good. I'm glad you like it.
Rob
Yeah, I like that. So that's what your feed is like. That's what your alo is like. I don't know where this came from. Little, like the bagel boss guy doing dances on treadmills.
Jamie
I don't know. I don't know where this came from. Okay, this next video, this is what you make fun of me for. And I feel like if I had a dating profile, this would be what I would be putting out.
Rob
Oh, I think I know what it's going to be. Already.
Jamie
Fun. I.
We're gonna have fun together. Let's go party.
So this is what you give me about. Because this is how I react to people and they Want to make plans 100. But it says, I have zero intention of keeping these plans.
Rob
Well, you recently got, like, a artwork thing in your house. You and Cutter. What does it say?
Jamie
I.
Rob
It says, tonight's gonna be the best night ever.
Jamie
Tonight. Tonight we make history. P.S. i can't be there.
Rob
Yeah, that's like you and Cutter's vibe.
Jamie
Exactly.
Rob
But Cutter owns it. You know, where you're like, we're going to do it tonight. And then.
Jamie
I mean it. I mean it. I'm that excited. I mean it.
Rob
I go, we should get old clips from, like, Love Connection. Remember?
Jamie
That's what this felt like it was from.
Rob
Yeah, yeah. Those are. I mean, look at.
Jamie
You know, I'm dying to be Chuck Woolery.
Rob
This is crazy. Like, this is what, like, a woman learned how to do makeup back in the day.
Jamie
But this was like, this woman's probably 31 years old, right? What. I mean.
Rob
Yeah.
Jamie
This is what the. This is who that. This is. This was the best. This was, like, how you presented yourself back.
Rob
She's 15 years younger than us, this lady right here. And it's like, holy.
Jamie
It's just. It's all the haircut. It's all the haircut.
Rob
No, but it's also that the. The pinks. That. That's like the. Remember that the woman in the Dana car or. No, what was the. The Drew Carey show? Can you look up the Drew Carey show? Mimi from the Drew Carey show. Like, it's like a joke makeup. You know what I mean? It's like if you gave your. Yeah. Remember. Remember her?
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
That's like, when people do this, you're like, what?
Jamie
I saw a thing recently about all, like, the TV moms from all our favorite 80s and 90s sitcoms and, like, how old they were, and they were, like, 30, 31. Like, you know, the Seat Seavers, Carol Seaver and.
Rob
Right. They were the same age as, like, the guys when they were doing Saved by the Bell. When you were back in the day, it was like if you were a high school senior or a mom or.
Jamie
The Golden Girls were, like, all late 40s, early 50s when that show started, they weren't in their 80s.
Rob
It's crazy. But. But listen, I've talked about this before, but sometimes when you're on these dating apps and you're looking and you're like. You're looking at a bunch of people your age, then one pops in and you're like, what the hell? Like, there's no way this person is 35. You're like, this person Is you don't even. I don't even know. Yeah, some. Some lives, you know? Some lives.
Okay, so here's something. You know how they have like America's Got Talent, all these talent shows and what's the American Idol, Boys? Yeah. So what do you think is worse, right? Somebody who goes up there and bombs like, you're awful. Everybody's like, get off the stage, you go home. That's it, it's over. Or when somebody goes up there and they're like incredible and you know, someday like the golden buzzer, it's like you're the best ever. And then every other performance after, they're like, yeah, you just don't have it. Like, we don't know. You just had that one good performance. Like, what do you think is hard? Like, it almost seems like it might be easier to just cope with people being like you. So.
Jamie
No, but that's why I love these shows because a lot of it shows what it takes to like really be. To really, you know, break through. Like, you could be. You could have the level of talent, but you have to be able to, you know, there has to be variety. There has. There's a certain star quality. So. So I think that's what just separates the best from the best, you know, from the other best. You know what I mean?
Rob
So what about like, you know when it's like I get knocked down but I get up again? Like, if you're like that much of a one hit wonder, I think they were like big one hit wonders. But like, if you just have one big song, but then it's like 15 years later, people are like everywhere. It's like, it's like, do the song like, you know, like they want you to do that. Or is it just better to be like, you know what? I'm going to be a. I'm going to have a regular job. I'm not going to have that because.
Jamie
Like, I don't know, when you get a taste of it, it's hard because.
Rob
To me, like, it. It kind of depends on the song too, right? Like if you have like bop, that's a little tougher than like if you're fucking. Not that they're one hit wonders at all, but like counting Crow have like great song and they don't like to sing their old stuff. Like, they don't like to sing their hits, but it's like their songs are so fucking good and make you feel so good. It's not like, mmm, bop or like fucking chumbawamba. You know what I mean, it's like, it's this real quality.
Jamie
I have such a memory of the Chumbawamba song of you and me in the back of my mom's car with when we shot the pilot and that song came on the radio.
Rob
Really?
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
And it just hate you right now.
Jamie
This song's whack. Like. Yeah, I have a memory of it. Your mom was in the front seat and you and I were in the back and we were like going out to dinner or something.
Rob
Wow. Probably going to Cheesecake Factory.
Jamie
I hope.
Rob
Shout out to Cheesecake Factory.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Yeah. Oh, that fucking. The Cheesecake Factory bread. I miss it so much. Okay. Zolo said this is my favorite kind of pod. Zolo said he brought.
Jamie
I love it.
Rob
Some videos for us today.
Zolo
I think I have a really good one this week.
Rob
Come on, Zolo.
Cougar
Yeah, Burger was good.
Jamie
Everything.
Rob
Oh my gosh.
That will beep until we do Burger Lab.
Safety first. Yeah. There's a Tick Tocker. Yeah. Speaking of tick tockers. Oh.
Jamie
My God.
Rob
Known as harmonica. And if you guys would like to be on my Instagram or Tick Tock.
Jamie
Page, we're gonna be rolling.
Rob
If we don't want to pause it, we can totally turn that off and just cut that and stuff.
Jamie
Being.
Rob
Being in a cab with Cutter when he hit that harmonica, I. I would laugh this guy out of the cab. He would pull over and be like.
Jamie
I don't. That's how we have to prank him. I want.
Rob
Yeah, we gotta have an over friendly Uber driver. He doesn't even like quiet Uber drivers. Uber. Cutter doesn't even like quiet Uber drivers. This. Oh, I don't know if there could be something funnier in life than to be sitting or. If Cutter's in the front and me and you were in the back and this guy hits the harmonica.
Jamie
That's so rude to pick people up and just do this to them.
Cougar
It doesn't even end there.
Jamie
Could you imagine.
Rob
Could you imagine if. Could you imagine if I was in the. Could you imagine if I was in the front? I just went, stop, stop. We don't want. We don't. We don't want this. We don't want this. I think I would just. I would laugh until he dropped us off, whether it was five minutes away or an hour away.
Jamie
Okay. You would.
Rob
I would be hysterical laughing at Cutter. If I was. If I was Dolo, I'd say, pull over. I'm getting out.
Jamie
Well, apparently it gets worse. Let's see.
Rob
I'll have a fun time. That is totally up to you guys. But my big question is, does anybody want to learn how to play the ukulele?
Jamie
Chase, you know how.
Rob
If you know how to play guitar.
If you know how to play guitar.
Jamie
I mean, the ukulele in a bucket should have given it away.
Rob
I hate like enthusiastic. Like, like when I. When I was.
Jamie
Hate enthusiastic.
Rob
I hate enthusiasm. Yeah, I really do. When, when I was watching this past season of Love is Blind. Like the guy is kind of like, oh, like you want to do like, you know all this stuff and like, I don't like that kind of vibe. I forget. Exactly. And she's like, oh no, are you vanilla? And it's like, to me, vanilla is wanting to go to the fudgeing bullshit. Like, that's vanilla. Like you're fudgeing lame. Like a 90 day fiance. They went to like a polar bar and it's like it's zero degrees in the bar and we all have to put on jackets and like it's freezing in here. That's crazy. I'm like, this is the biggest loser thing that you could pot where it's like, look at. Oh my God. Like we're crazy. And it's like, no, this is, this is vanilla. This is the problem. I'm not the problem for wanting to stay home. You're the problem for thinking fun is going into a bar that's colder than every other bar.
Jamie
Something different.
Rob
It bothers me so. But that's the thing. It's like you need that to have an exciting life. You need someone to like make a bar cold.
Jamie

Jamie
Do you think harmonicab Kyle reads the room where like if he picks somebody up and they're. No, no you don't. You think he's just obnoxious.
Rob
Can I tell you what I thought Zolo? That this was going to be. And I was ready to laugh my dick off. I thought that thing was just going to beep nonstop and the guy was like I'm not. I'm not putting my seatbelt on.
Zolo
Well, that's why I like watched it originally. I'm like, oh, there's something about the fucking seatbelt beeping thing. And then it takes a complete left turn.
Cougar
Yeah, that's text that he put on there. And it's like, oh no, you're just an obnoxious.
Zolo
How would you ask them to buckle up as the caption?
Rob
He's smart, you know. You know what? You know what bothers me too? This guy has three times the amount of followers as Jen and who are the other guy from the other podcast? What was that called up that podcast with the Jersey people?
Cougar
The recap. Something real.
Zolo
Recap.
Rob
Real recap. Can we. Can we just get like you guys have social media. Can you just find people from Jersey talking about stuff? That's all I want. I want like like hot Jersey broads but also just people from Jers talking about anything I I could listen to forever.
Cougar
Let's just re watch Jersey Shore.
Rob
Yeah.
Jamie
Yeah. Oh my gosh.
Rob
But they're like, they're like you could. I don't even. They're not even Jersey enough for what I want. Like I. I want There. That is so Jersey to me.
Jamie
Housewives of Jersey hasn't been on in a long time because there's been such beef amongst them all.
Rob
That's probably the only one I would watch.
Jamie
Salt Lake City, I'm telling you, Rob.
Rob
I can't get into Housewives now. It's all. It all feels fake to me.
Jamie
This one is so fucking good.
Rob
Really?
Jamie
If you're gonna watch any, in my opinion, it's Salt Lake City. These. Because these women were Mormon. Some of Jen Shaw's in jail. You gotta go back, you gotta read.
Rob
Jail is good. I like when they go to jail.
Jamie
I know FBI comes and arrests them when they're filming.
Rob
Really? Oh, that's good.
Jamie
I'm telling you, the FBI. There's a girl that was like catfishing all of them that became a new housewife and they uncovered at the end that she was the one that had been doing to them, like online all these years. It's good.
Rob
I can get into that. Do we. Let's try the. Let's try the sandwich guy. I. I want really want to get the sandwich guy. I really want to get Giovanni on the phone. Let's try him one more time.
Jamie
If not, do we leave him a message with our favorite foods and have him make a few?
Rob
No, I think we want to talk.
Jamie
I'll see if this person is available.
Rob
Hey, it's Robert and Jamie from Sopranos and Not Today Pal Podcast.
Jamie
Thanks, David. Please stay on the line. Yes. I don't know why he thought I would be like, it's Jamie and Rob.
Rob
Yeah. Is this your number? Zolo. So would he be able to just call it back or you call him from a fake number?
Zolo
It's our studio phone, but yeah, he could call it back.
Rob
Does he have an iPhone? Is it blue?
Jamie
I'm sorry, this person is not available. If you would like to leave an additional message, please reply after the tone.
Rob
Giovanni, we're trying to get in touch with you. We're on the podcast. We're only doing it for another 20 minutes, so please call us back on the number that we called you on or. Yeah, we want to talk to you. Bye. Does this thing pop up as blue?
Zolo
Yeah, yeah, it's an iPhone.
Rob
And so you wrote him and he just hasn't responded? Mm. Damn, Giovanni. He's a hard worker. He's a hard worker. We respect it. What about you? Want to try calling the store? Let's call the store. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Let's call this. This is exciting.
Jamie
He's really excited.
Rob
I am really excited. I love Giovanni the one slice dice.
Jamie
Do you know what you want in your sandwich?
Rob
I mean, unfortunately, what I want, I wouldn't eat anymore. You know, I want chicken cutlet and balsamic glaze with a little spicy salam. You know, he's always putting that. The mutts on there, but it's too much for me.
Jamie
I was gonna say you need a little cheese, though, in there.
Rob
Yeah. Maybe some like thin something or like, or, or like some like pecorino Romano, like that kind of vibe. Yeah, we gotta. We gotta get. We gotta get the. We gotta get him on to. To guide us, you know, I don't.
Jamie
Think I want cheese on my sandwich that's controversial.
Rob
We're really hitting them with the big controversies this week on the pot.
Jamie
I like pickled things.
Rob
Oh, he does that. He does the pepperoni pickled on you. O. Great topic.
And the.
Jamie
And the balsamic leg.
Rob
And he does the sweet. Oh, I know what I wanted to ask.
Jamie
Sweet too hot.
Rob
Honey, I'm so excited to talk to this guy. I wanted to ask him why he leaves the stem on the long hots. Why leave stem?
Are we calling the store?
Zolo
Yeah, let's do it.
Rob
Yes.
Jamie
I'm so excited you're talking. Okay, I'll start laughing.
I feel like I'm pranking someone right now.
Rob
We closed today. It's a Tuesday. Open up. We need a sandwich.
Jamie
Maybe they close after the lunch hour.
Rob
What if it was a sandwich emergency?
Jamie
It's 4 o'. Clock.
Rob
Hey, is Giovanni there? No, he's not here right now. Oh, okay. Could you tell him Robert and Jamie called from the Not Today Pal podcast? We were supposed to talk to him today. Do you know. You know where he is? Nope. Oh, all right. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Have a good one.
Jamie
Not a fan.
Rob
We should have kept him on.
Jamie
He might have been.
Rob
I think he would have been a great podcast guest. He seemed like.
Jamie
Yeah, really interested, bro.
Cougar
Just.
Rob
Nope, nope, nope.
Jamie
Okay, not here.
Rob
Thanks, buddy. Employee of the month. I think we should get him a plaque up at the restaurant.
Jamie
Was that Jack?
Rob
Was that Jack? We get an employee of the month for that guy. Okay.
Okay. I asked, you know, I asked people in the audience what annoys them. About people that we live with. Yeah, about people that they live with.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
So this one, some. I don't know, I feel like I might have said one or two of these because I just had them in my head when I read the last one. But. But let me. So the first one is leaving floss pics around the apartment.
Jamie
Gross.
Rob
Christina P. Shout out. Christina P. She does that. And Tom hates it. I don't know. I'm pretty good. If I'll leave. Like, I won't leave them around the apartment, but if I'm working with one and, like, a phone or something, I might put it down and then, like, that might get left. But it's not like a chronic.
Jamie
You're not like, a repeat offender.
Rob
Right. It's not constantly. That's Isabelle. This person, J. Law says when people smile with their tongue between their teeth. Yeah, that's a problem. Yeah. Okay. When someone says, another blank in the books while sharing family photos on social media, like, another.
Jamie
Another Christmas in the book.
Rob
Yeah. Another graduation in the books.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Does that bother you?
Jamie
Here's my thing. I. I love seeing pictures of my friends and their families. Like, I. I think it's very sweet. I'm, like, so happy to see them, but I would die to. I would never. I'd be like, who the. Who gives a. About, like, what I did on Thanksgiving is how I feel. But I love to see other people's.
Rob
It's weird. So what do you. What do you think that is? You're not. You're not enough. What is that?
Jamie
I just don't want to share it.
Rob
Yeah, that's fine.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Yeah.
Families on social media, when people hang wet towels on top of dry towels. I mean, I live alone. No one. That's insane. I've never done that or heard anyone doing that.
Jamie
Cutter just bunches up a wet towel and, like, leaves it on a counter. I have an issue with that. Like, I. We have, like, multiple places to, like, hang a towel.
Rob
Yeah.
Jamie
And he never puts it on there.
Rob
Well, Zolo says he just crumples them up and throws them on the floor. Right, Zola.
Jamie
Or he'll fold it in thirds and then. Then hang it. And I'm like, well, that doesn't dry.
Rob
That's a problem. That's how you get the stinky towels.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Good.
Zolo
Good memory, Rob. Yeah, I think I. I think I have talked about that.
Rob
Yeah.
Zolo
And I was like, why do these always smell like. And I'm like, oh, they've just been in a wet pile on the floor for a week. Yeah.
Jamie
Like.
Rob
And, like, they're. It's, like, dark, like. Like underneath there. It's dark and moldy. And that's not good.
Jamie
That's breeding infection.
Rob
Yeah, that's. That's not good.
Rachel says, why does every man have to watch videos on their phone at full volume? I don't do that?
Would that does. Does that bother you? Well, you have kids. Actually, you know what? Your kids do do that all the time. It's always like, hey, can you put down whatever that is?
Jamie
Television, anything. The volume is full blast.
Rob
Yeah. And then they'll be like, hey, go watch that in the other room if you want to watch it like that. And they don't want to. They want to be in the middle of us watching their. Their iPad on full volume, which is crazy. JRM says slurping spaghetti or coffee or soup.
Jamie
Any sign of mouth sound is gross or anything. Yeah.
Rob
You know, as somebody who's bothered by, like, everything. I don't know.
Jamie
Really? You're not bothered by mouth sound?
Rob
I mean, slurping spaghetti, how long could that go on for? You know what I mean? It's a whole meal. Yeah. I don't know if somebody's enjoying spaghetti. I think enjoy the spaghetti.
Here's a very controversial thing. The day I learned how to use a spoon while eating spaghetti with spaghetti, I look down upon everyone who doesn't use a spoon.
Jamie
Yeah. I learned it on set.
Rob
It makes the spaghetti taste better somehow. Like, it's better.
Jamie
It just, of course, because you're getting, like. Yeah.
Rob
So good.
Jamie
It's like a bite. It's an actual bite.
Rob
Yeah, yeah. The move is you take the spaghetti, you spin it on the fork like that, and then you take a piece of a meatball with it and you go, if any out of. Okay, let's. Let's take a guess back there. You got three lovely gentlemen. Who would you guess? I'm going to say any doesn't use a spoon. Zolo doesn't use a spoon. Oh, Cougar just touched his nose. What does that mean?
Jamie
I could see Cougar using a spoon.
Rob
I'm going to say no spoon for everybody. What do you say?
Jamie
Cougar spoon.
Rob
Cougar spoon.
Jamie
Maybe Zolo.
Rob
Let's hear it, guys. Zolo. No way.
Zolo
I've done it on occasion.
Rob
Yeah, see, that's. That's a no. You got it. You got. Once you do it, I think I'm 50.
Zolo
50 with it.
Rob
That's crazy. That's crazier than just not using it.
Zolo
It's more work, I feel.
Jamie
It's just. It depends the pasta depends how it's like, twirling.
Zolo
Also, I think I heard recently, like, it's not a traditional, like, Italian thing. Like, Italian people kind of scoff at you if you. They see you doing the spoon thing.
Rob
That's great. I don't care.
Jamie
See, I was told to do it on set because it looked more authentic. Like if I didn't do it that way, it was not reading that. I grew up in an Italian household.
Rob
Close your eyes, exhale. Feel your body relax and let go of whatever you're carrying today.
Jamie
Well, I'm letting go of the worry.
Rob
That I wouldn't get my new contacts.
Jamie
In time for this class.
Rob
I got them delivered free from 1-800-contacts.
Jamie

Rob
Italians, but these are. These are American Italians. Italian Americans.
Zolo
My parents both did it. My parents were both very much like sticklers about it.
Rob
Are they. Are your parents Italian?
Zolo
No, they're Jews.
Rob
Oh, classy. What about the other. What about the other two boys?
Cougar
No spoon for me.
Rob
Yeah, that nose touch.
Cougar
I don't eat spaghetti.
Jamie
I actually. I could never see you getting, like, a plate of pasta put in front of you. It's just not what you. Where you go.
Cougar
I mean, the spaghetti is like a specific type, though. I don't.
Jamie
You like a lens?
Cougar
Like, what's. What's the tortellini? I like tortellini.
Rob
Tortellini is great. Let me tell you something. Penne is trash. Penne's triva sauce is great. So it makes penne alla vodka good. But penne as a pop.
Jamie
Rigatoni is better than a penny.
Rob
Trash. Yeah, rigatoni, but just angel hair. Or spaghetti. Oh, the best.
Jamie
No, Italians typically do not eat spaghetti with a spoon. Traditional is only a fork.
Rob
But that's like. That's Italy we're talking using.
Jamie
Oh, spinning it against a spoon is considered impolite in Italy.
Rob
Yeah, see, this is Italy. We're. You know, we figured it out over here.
Jamie
And do not cut it with a knife.
Rob
It says no if you. Unless you're feeding a three Year old or lower, if you're cutting spaghetti with a knife. It's tragic.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Horrible.
Jamie
I still cut my kids spaghetti, though.
Rob
Oh, yeah, well, because Cutter's a freak about choking.
Jamie
Correct.
Rob
Yeah. You can't.
Okay. Speaking of Cutter, can you show the first Cutters Weekly Instagram for this week's episode? It's a Sopranos one.
Read it. Jamie.
Jamie
When you spend the night at your friend's house for the first time and found out he's actually genuinely. Oh.
Rob
That's what Cutter sent me.
He's so happy with that.
Yeah. I wonder if that's. Cutter tried to tell me that's how he felt when I stayed over. That he learned. Yeah. That I'm fully retarded.
Jamie
No, that you learned it about him.
RIP to both of them.
Rob
Oh, my God. By the way, that makes me kind of want to watch Sopranos. I didn't even know anything like, that happened in the show. That's great.
Jamie
What was he watching? He's like Roseanne or something.
Cougar
I think he's watching, like, cartoons or something.
Jamie
It looked like it was a sitcom.
Cougar
It's a great. It's a great scene.
Jamie
It's so good.
Rob
And it did. It didn't actually say this above it in the scene. Huh. Damn it. Can you show the video of the wedding, Jamie? What would you. That. That's old. You have that in there. There's. There's this thing happened at this person's wedding, and I want to know if you were getting married, you. Would you take this as a sign or would you just be like, oh, that's cool. Oh.
Cougar
And that is why we didn't go to the North Shore, ladies and gentlemen, murdering another animal.
Rob
It's like a bear on a moose. Is it a moose.
Or like a caribou? What do they call a moose in, like, Alaska? Isn't there, like. So. Yeah, if that's. If that's your wedding, do you go, like, that has nothing to do with my wedding. Let's keep going.
Jamie
Or do you go, like, having your wedding in the wild, like, you know what I mean? It's like, be one thing if it was, like, on the property of some, like, nice place, you know, like, it's.
Rob
Like the Four Seasons.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
It's a bear eating.
Jamie
I don't know if I. I mean, it would. I'd actually think it was, like, cool. Yeah.
Rob
Wow. Look at you. Nature Jamie.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Wow. All right, what about anybody back there have an opinion on their photographers and.
Jamie
Guests at their wedding now? Yeah, of course.
Rob
Well, it's fucking 20, 25. All people want is pictures of what they're doing. They don't even want to do the thing anymore. Anymore. It's ridiculous. Yeah.
Anybody got any. Would anybody. Would any. Would anybody think about maybe we shouldn't be getting married if this was going on?
Cougar
Yeah, we're out.
Rob
You're done.
Cougar
Yeah, I'm out.
Jamie
What's. What is the. What is the metaphor? What is the reasoning? Like, why are you thinking I'm doomed?
Cougar
There's a bear, like, 20ft that way.
Rob
When's the last time you got called the N word, Jame? Never.
Jamie
Yeah, for sure. Wow.
Rob
Way to go. You're welcome. I'm happy that we could bring this into your life.
Jamie
Listen.
Rob
Yeah. I used to date a girl who loved to call me. Whoa. Yeah.
Go on. And I'm just kidding.
Jamie
But you would take that meaning, like, I don't want to get married here. Or like, oh, like, my marriage is doomed.
Cougar
Oh, I thought we were just talking about getting the out of there.
Jamie
No, Rob is talking like, is this a sign that this is, like, I shouldn't be getting married?
Cougar
No, it's a sign we should be getting the out of here right now, though.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Yeah. I mean, that.
Jamie
I mean, that's a big river for it to cross.
Cougar
Ain't big enough.
Rob
Yeah, but you're still gonna. You're still gonna get married. You're fine. You're not taking it as a bad omen?
Cougar
I mean, I ain't gonna marry in the first place, but, I mean, I guess if I was, like, if somehow that happened. I mean. Yeah. I don't believe in that. Omens. Out of here.
Rob
Really?
Cougar
No.
Rob
Okay. We're. When I first met you, were you down to get married, or were you always a no married guy? I feel like your last relationship, I thought you were gonna, like, marry her, but now you're just done.
Cougar
I don't think I've ever been, like, stoked about it, you know? Never, like, fantasized about the. I feel like marriage or weddings suck anyway.
Rob
The worst.
Cougar
The only cool part, I guess. I guess the. I guess dressing up. I feel like dressing up. Probably the coolest part about what you get to be in, like, a suit. Like, that's cool.
Rob
Yeah, you could wear a suit. Whatever you want.
Jamie
Rob, you had a good time in my wedding, didn't you?
Rob
Yeah, but I love you. I love Cutter. Like, I just. But I don't.
Jamie
And your friends were there.
Rob
Yeah, I had friends. Like, you know, we had a good time. But, like, I, I, I. If I. If you Told me tomorrow you never have to go to another wedding again for the rest of your life. I would have the best day. I'd be so happy.
Jamie
Yeah, well, I mean, I've, I've, I don't, I don't go to any weddings hardly anymore because we've outgrown it. Yeah. This year is my 10 year wedding anniversary. Crazy, right?
Rob
Congratulations. I, I, My best friend's wedding, like two years ago or whatever it was.
Jamie
You had such a good time.
Rob
I had such a good time, but we stayed at a beach house for two weeks.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Like, it was the great. We had such a good time.
Jamie
We get like voice notes from you being like, I'm on a beach in front of a fire. I ate bread. I'm so happy.
Rob
Smoked a joint.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Under the stars on the beach, the water. Oh, it was all. And also like, I don't get to see him. So, like, it just, we felt 18 years old again, you know? Yeah. Oh, we had the best time.
What about you? You boys, you're, you're both married guys, right? Zolo definitely is going to get married, right, Zola?
Zolo
Someday.
Rob
Yeah. He's a traditional Arzola, is a traditional guy. Cougar.
Cougar
No, I'm not married, but I mean.
Rob
No, I know you're not open to it. Okay, you hear that, ladies? Hear that? Hear that, ladies? Cougar is willing to get married. Okay.
Here'S something I wanted to know. So we know people. Like, I've heard you heard. You hear people fart in their sleep. Hear people talk in their sleep. Yeah, but I'm like, do people, has anybody ever sneezed in their sleep? Is that a thing?
Jamie
Like, does that wake up to sneeze?
Rob
I think that just turns off when you're sleeping. Like, I've never heard anybody sneeze in their sleep. Anybody back there ever heard anyone sneeze in their sleep?
Jamie
I don't even think if I ever.
Cougar
Feel like that's impossible to sneeze in your sleep because that happens from like a, like a tickle in the nose, which you can't feel if you're asleep.
Rob
Right. But, but a cough could be a tickle in the throat.
Cougar
But you don't, don't you? Not really cough either?
Rob
No.
Jamie
Sick.
Rob
Well, yeah, but I just, like, I don't.
Jamie
Oh, I caught, I would be woken up with a cough.
Rob
You've never slept in the house with my dad, which I recently did six months ago. There's just chronic coughing coming from downstairs. Yeah. For every, every six minutes. And then, and then you see him in the. In the morning and you go, are you all right? He's like, what? Like, he gets mad at me. I'm like, you were coughing all night. He's like, no, I wasn't. I'm like, all right, I'm lying about your coughing. Yeah, no, people definitely cough all night in their sleep.
Cougar
Yeah, well, a cough, I guess I would. I'd be. I'd be less surprised, but, yeah, I would.
Rob
I don't know.
Cougar
Something in me tells me it's like, impossible. Like, you can't.
Rob
I don't know why. Can we ask ChatGPT? Can someone or any. Any Google. Can you sneeze in your sleep? But what about farting is. Farting is always. I'm. You know, that's. You know. You learn something about a girl when you sleep next door.
Jamie
No, it's generally impossible to sneeze in your sleep.
Rob
I don't. I feel like the term generally impossible.
Jamie
Is a. Sneezing is a reflex that involves the involuntary contraction of muscles in the nose, throat, and diaphragm during sleep. The brain is in a relaxed state and these muscles are not active. Therefore, it is not possible to trigger the sneeze reflex while sleeping. Rare cases, people may experience a sensation of needing to sneeze while sleeping, but this is usually due to other factors such as nasal congestion or allergies. However, they will not actually sneeze unless they wake up.
Rob
And he's a little genius.
Jamie
I was just thinking that.
Rob
And he sniffed this one out.
Jamie
Always gonna put my money on any.
Rob
Yeah.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Oh, definitely not always.
Jamie
Just like one of those guys.
Rob
Definitely not always. But there's times.
Jamie
No, he's like. I feel like he doesn't speak unless he's pretty confident. You know what I mean?
Rob
But I also think sometimes he's confident. Sometimes he's confident. He's way off.
Cougar
Name me a time I can.
Rob
You're right. You're always.
Jamie
You're always right.
Rob
Okay, do we have the second cutter?
Jamie
Weekly Instagram cutter on fire, babe.
Rob
Yeah, Cutter's been light.
Jamie
Presents Real Men of Genius.
Rob
So this is Missouri sports bettors off the first exit in Kansas.
Jamie
So as soon as they get over the border, they pull over and place their bets.
Rob
Yeah. You're allowed to gamble.
Jamie
Is that really what's happening?
Rob
Yeah. So my question is, how would you feel if me and Cutter were like, we're taking a six hour drive to go get some bets in?
Jamie
I love any time the two of you are together. I love it. Just document it.
Rob
You want to stay home FaceTime me.
Jamie
I got this.
Rob
Okay. We could do like, how that guy was TikTok in his harmonica.
Jamie
We could have a. I would watch the show of you two all day long.
Rob
Yeah.
Jamie
Just your drive alone to just pick me up with chaotic.
Rob
It was crazy. It was like. It was like what I imagine Navy Seals do when they have to go, like, get somebody. He was really. He was. Yeah.
Jamie
I was ready for, like, explosions all the time. That, like, Instagram video of, like, this, like, dad, like, walking like this through the airport and is like, my husband's nervous system has no idea the difference between being chased by a bear and just walking through the airport to our flight when we have plenty of time when we travel.
Rob
Yeah, we were. There was. It was the near death experience for Cutter. Just going to get coffee for you and then picking you up from Pilates. Yeah. Oh, my friend sent. So there's a steakhouse in Syracuse. Do you have these photos? There's a steakhouse in Syracuse that had these photos up.
Jamie
Jamie, is that you?
Rob
That's me.
Jamie
Wow. Oh, with the knife. Yeah.
Rob
Yeah.
Jamie
What? No. Citizens.
Rob
And then look, you're over there to the right. Yeah, they have all so fun. I wonder if they've had this up for. For three. It's Demonico's. I don't know if I'm saying that right.
Jamie
Delmonicos.
Rob
Delmonicos, maybe. Yeah. That feels more right.
Jamie
I wonder if they made it.
Rob
I wonder if they've had these for, like, 20 years or if this is a new. This is a new thing.
Jamie
Cool. I love it.
Rob
Shout out. Do we have. Did we do memory lane already?
Jamie
Do we have one of those today yet?
Rob
Wow.
Jamie
This was truly one of my favorite photo shoots we ever did. I can remember this day vividly. Okay. This was for Entertainment Weekly, I think.
Rob
I wouldn't have known that. I would have said, like, Vanity Fair, but I know I'm wrong.
Jamie
2007. 6.
Rob
Sure. I'll just go with what you say. I. I don't. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is. This definitely the last season. Like, yeah, it was in a beautiful.
Jamie
Theater in New York City. It was so cool.
Rob
I'll go with 2007. Sure. What do we got? 2007.
Oh, weekly.
Jamie
You said Entertainment Weekly.
Rob
Entertainment Weekly. 2007.
Zolo
2006.
Rob
Oh, said that Jane?
Yeah. I don't. What do you remember from this day? I don't know.
Jamie
I just remember, like, this photo shoot being more limited. Like, normally we have, like, so many of us, but it was just us few. So, like, we had time to, like, hang out. I remember sitting and talking with Jim for a long time. I remember I loved my dress that I got to wear and, like, the hair and makeup. I felt like a princess. I don't know. I just remember this day. And I remember, like, it was a photo shoot that stood out to me amongst all the millions of ones we did.
Rob
Things were so, like, thought out on Sopranos always that even when we would do photo shoots like this, it was like, no, you're gonna look here and you're gonna look here and you're gonna hear. Because it all meant something.
Jamie
Yes.
Rob
You know, and. And it was never not like that.
Jamie
Everything. Like when we did the COVID of Rolling St. Specific, when we did any of the Annie Leibowitz photo shoots, I mean, she had stand ins. Like, you would show up. You were done in like 25 minutes. Yeah, it was awesome.
Rob
Yeah. Oh, by the way, those are some good. I like this. I like going to, like, cast, like, classic cast photos from memory lanes. This is good. The. The Rolling Stone is definitely one we should do too. So. Yeah. Do we try. Do we try the sandwich guy or we just. We just.
Zolo
I'll try him right now.
Jamie
We'll try it. But then I. I don't. I can't. I don't think I can hang for that long because I got a flight.
Rob
What do you. How long do you have? 10 minutes.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
Okay. We'll see if he.
Cougar
We also have to do ads. Just a heads up.
Rob
All right.
Oh, it's fully ringing this time. Remember last time it didn't.
We're, like, pestering him at this point.
Jamie
Yeah, we're being annoying.
Rob
Yeah.
All right. Just text him and say, hey, sorry, we have to go. So we'll try you again next week. Just. Just tell them that the call has been. It'll be. It'll be good to have unlimited time too, when we talk to him.
Jamie
Yeah.
Rob
All right. Yeah, so we tried. We will see you guys next week.
Jamie
Capone.
Rob
Once I'm in hat. One of the times. Ripper at new jersey battery.
Once I'm at one of the stocks. Ripper at new jersey battery. Not today.
Hosts: Jamie-Lynn Sigler & Robert Iler
Date: December 11, 2025
Network: YMH Studios
In this lively episode, former Sopranos co-stars Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler dive into their usual dynamic of polar opposites—Jamie’s warm optimism clashing hilariously with Rob’s grumpy realism. They riff on viral videos, gym culture, social media habits, reality TV, pet peeves at home, food opinions (especially Italian), and whether omens should impact life’s big moments—like a bear crashing a wedding. The duo is joined by producer Zolo and “Cougar” as they field calls, swap nostalgic Sopranos anecdotes, and ponder the existential question: can you sneeze in your sleep?
| Time | Segment Brief | |------------|------------------------------------------------------------| | 00:40–02:24| Unexpected fan encounters & generational fame | | 02:24–06:02| Gym videos, generational differences, and dating profiles | | 05:48–08:25| TV nostalgia: aging in showbiz & reality TV | | 19:55–23:55| Listener pet peeves: towels, social media, slurping, etc. | | 23:01–27:01| Italian vs. Italian-American food habits debate | | 28:03–30:43| Bear at a wedding: omens or no big deal? | | 32:33–34:50| Can you sneeze in your sleep?

The episode captures why Jamie and Rob remain so beloved: their easy, affectionate bickering, their real-life perspectives on fame and the mundane, and their nostalgia for the past without being stuck in it. The segments are peppered with genuine affection, deep-cut pop culture references, and a healthy dose of irreverence—as well as love for their audience’s quirks and questions.
Memorable Moment:
Jamie and Rob, failing to reach Giovanni the Sandwich Guy, while earnestly debating the ideal Italian sandwich and the proper use of cheese—quintessential Not Today, Pal.
For new listeners:
If you want unfiltered laughs, Seinfeldian debates about towels and pasta, and a window into the weird, wonderful friendship of two former TV siblings, this one’s a great intro—especially if you’re wondering whether to take signs from the universe or just eat the sandwich and enjoy the wedding (unless there’s a bear).
