• Listener call-ins echo Rob: The more you gamble, the more you just want the guarantee. (04:44)

2. Annoying Habits: Listener Grievance Round-Up

Timestamps: 05:29–11:20

• The show shares listeners’ submissions on the most annoying habits of people they live with:

  • The “knock knock” co-worker: “I couldn’t. I would tell the person I hate them.” (10:27)

5. Hollywood Set Rules: Directors’ Pet Peeves

Timestamps: 44:03–46:00

• “The amount of weirdos is endless, or do we just know about more of them?” —Cutter (45:54)

11. The Hyper-Attentive Partner (Cutter Appreciation)

Timestamps: 46:00–47:39

Tone & Vibe

The episode is playful, irreverently candid, and packed with dry humor and personal confessions. Jamie brings heart and sweet concern, Rob keeps things grounded with sarcasm and self-deprecation. Banter with listeners and the new sound guy Tanner keeps things fast-moving and unpredictable. Longtime friendship and mutual respect underpin the teasing, making for a funny but heartfelt exploration of what it means to live with—and love—wildly different people.

---

For listeners new and old, this episode offers laughs, relatable gripes, and the comforting chaos of two best friends figuring out adulthood—one misdelivered Amazon package and awkward parenting moment at a time.

Transcript

[Jamie]

Give it up for Chicago. Sebastian Maniscalco's new stand up special, It Ain't Right is now streaming on Hulu. Thirty years ago, Jeff Bezos, complete nerd. Bezos now ripped to shreds on his super yacht. And the boxes keep coming. Watch. Sebastian Maniscalco, It Ain't Right now streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney for bundle subscribers terms apply. Okay, Jamie, my question for you is your, let's call it a game show, whatever it is. You find out that it's you against two other people. The prize is a million dollars, let's.

[Cutter]

Say for me or charity?

[Jamie]

Well, no, no, it's for you. Yeah, of course for you. Now you reach into a hat, let's say, and there's three amounts in there. So it could say a million, zero, zero. Or how. What would you want the amount to be? So if it's, if it's a total random, would you rather a 1 in 3 chance of picking $1,000,000, or would you rather it be like everybody just, let's all just take 333,000 and walk away, or would you rather like, let's have one person get 800,000 and then the other two could just get 100,000.

[Cutter]

What would you want to decide this?

[Jamie]

Because we do a podcast and I come up with stupid questions and you come up with answers.

[Cutter]

Well, okay, so the gamer in me wants it to be. I would do 800.

[Jamie]

100, 100, 801. So you're, you're okay with possibly losing 900?

[Cutter]

Yes. Because for the thrill of the game.

[Jamie]

Of playing a game, would you want to pick first? Because I, I think so. By the way, people, those who don't know, a little special. We have Tanner.

[Cutter]

What a Handmaid's Tale sound. It made me feel.

[Jamie]

We, we have Tanner in the booth today. He's going to be doing sound bites for the show. And you'll know if it goes good or not, because if he's here next week, that means it went really well. And if he's, if he's not doing it next week, it didn't go well. But we're going to see how it goes.

[Cutter]

Okay.

[Jamie]

Yeah. So we don't know. And by the way, we have no idea what's coming.

[Cutter]

I'd want to pick first.

[Jamie]

You'd want to pick first because.

[Cutter]

Because obviously if I pick last, I know what I'm getting. And probably second. You know, I want to pick first.

[Jamie]

What's the number where it starts to go? I don't want it to be winner take all like, let's say, let's say it's $500 in there. It's like, let's just one person win 500 and forget about it. Like, I don't want to do 100, 100, 300, 10,000. So once it gets to 10,000, you're like, let's start divvying this up. Because to me, if it's a million, I'm going 333 each. Hug it out, walk away.

[Cutter]

Wow.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I'm. I'm conservative when you're talking to fucking $333,000. But if we're talking like a game, if we're talking 10 grand, though, I could see, like, fudge it. Let's just, let's just spit. But when it comes to like, 333,000 is like, it's pretty life changing. Yeah, that's. That's a lot of money. So I don't know. Listen, I've. Because I'm a gambler, I've had the feeling of losing money before, and I know what it's like, and I think the potential of me losing, whatever that is, $233,000. It would be a tough night, a tough night of sleep.

[Cutter]

I know, again, I'm coming from a place of like, an exciting thrill playing a game. Like, not just like, sure, let's, like, you know me, normally, if I would be like, sure, let's all split the money, of course. But you're asking like, gamer Jamie. That's my opinion.

[Jamie]

Wow, that's.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

That's.

[Jamie]

Anybody. Anybody back there going, give me, give me a million. And everybody else, like, the amount of.

[Listener/Caller 1]

Numbers that you put into that question just kind of confused my brain. I don't know. I don't even understand the question.

[Jamie]

That's valid.

[Listener/Caller 1]

Yeah, Sorry.

[Jamie]

Okay. Any. Let's say you were doing a game show. Yeah, there were, There was a million dollars was the grand prize. Would you want to go, one person wins a million, the other two get nothing. How would you want to divvy up the prize?

[Cutter]

Like three pieces of paper and a hat? You could have it say a million and then zero and zero. You could say it. You could have it say 800,000. A hundred thousand. A hundred thousand.

[Jamie]

333,000 each. What would you want?

[Listener/Caller 1]

I mean, if it's even, then there's no game.

[Cutter]

Right.

[Jamie]

But there doesn't.

[Cutter]

That's my concept.

[Jamie]

But there doesn't have. You could say, you know what, I don't want to play a game. Let's all walk away with 333,000.

[Listener/Caller 1]

I mean, yeah, guaranteed. 333 is way better than losing 800 or whatever the fuck, like, right? I'll take the. I'll take the guarantee. The guarantee is always. If you're a gambler, you know, to take guaranteed money, that's always going to be better.

[Jamie]

That's a very interesting way to put it. The more you gamble, the more you take the guarantee. Wow, that's. Yeah, I didn't think of it that way.

[Cutter]

That makes sense.

[Jamie]

Anybody else. Anybody back there going, let's go for the Millie? No. Everybody's just splitting it. Yeah, that's the move. Yeah, it's. It's. Listen, some crazy people. I would like to know Cutter's answer.

[Cutter]

Yeah, I wonder what Cutter's answer would be. I would say a lot about him.

[Jamie]

Let me see. This is.

[Cutter]

Already he's getting his teeth cleaned. Otherwise, I'd call and ask him, oh, yeah.

[Jamie]

Oh, he has his new dentist. He's very excited about that. He's like, you got to see this. You got to go. You got to go here. I'm like, all right, bro, take it easy. So we asked the audience to send in the most annoying habits about people they live with.

[Cutter]

Okay.

[Jamie]

We got a bunch.

[Cutter]

Wow.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Thank you, guys. By the. I wish there needs to be a place. If you could call in voicemail 512-387-1880 or not today, palepodcastmail.com let us know more of these, because this is my favorite thing in the world, what you find annoying about people you are forced to spend time with. So this. This person, Sid, says, my boyfriend twitches so hard in his sleep at night, and it scares the out of me.

[Cutter]

There's nothing he can do about it.

[Jamie]

That's why some people sleep in separate beds.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

And then they get. They get like. They get like, shit talked behind their back. But I kind of think it's nice.

[Cutter]

I told you. My parents have been in separate bedrooms for over 20 years.

[Jamie]

And it works.

[Cutter]

Yeah. Separate floors of their house.

[Jamie]

So when they go. So when they come stay at your house and they have to sleep in the same bed, is it, like, tough for them?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yes.

[Cutter]

They complain about it the whole time.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Really?

[Cutter]

Yes.

[Jamie]

What do they say?

[Cutter]

Oh, dad got up to pee like eight times, and you know. Cause they're older.

[Jamie]

You think your mom is Sid? You think she sent this in?

[Listener/Caller 2]

All right.

[Jamie]

Heather says leaving cabinets open, like somebody in the kitchen will just leave all the cabinets open when they're looking for something and not close it.

[Cutter]

That's Just add.

[Jamie]

Yeah. That is. Well, or it's add or it's just. You're careless. Like you're not thoughtful.

[Cutter]

It's just such a complete thing to like take it out of the cabinet and close it. Like leaving cabinets open.

[Jamie]

That's what you have is really nice. Where your cups are. You don't even have to do that. Your cups are out there.

[Cutter]

We have ones that you can like slide the doors into the wall. Like, you know, there's like pocket doors, I think they're called. So we leave it open all the time for. Yeah.

[Jamie]

I didn't know. I thought it was just open. Oh yeah, that makes sense.

[Cutter]

I'll show you. We look next time.

[Jamie]

What this person says using 10 different cups a day. Like somebody else.

[Cutter]

Very annoying variant Cutter has half drunken mason jars all over the house.

[Jamie]

Really?

[Cutter]

Yes. I hate it.

[Jamie]

Wow. See, even when I'm home, I use one cup. I only have.

[Cutter]

You only have one cup?

[Jamie]

I have two. One's always in the dishwasher. The other one I'm using. Yeah, that's how I roll. And then I have smaller ones, but those are for. Those are for like cooking and stuff. I had a coworker. Yeah, see. Oh, no, this isn't the one. There's one that really I could tell bothers me and I wonder if it's going to bother you. I had a co worker who would have bananas very often. This is bfc. Would stand at the desk showing me things, chewing the banana. I could hear her chewing the banana so clearly. To this day I have to have a TV on when I eat bananas because I hate the sound so much.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yes.

[Cutter]

It's a very slobbery, slippery, slimy like. Yeah. No, no, no. Don't like to listen to somebody eat a banana. Agreement.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I think. I think there are things when you're a man that you don't have to deal with that. Like there's just like so few women who are like chewing like a slob. You know where I think dudes, it's like.

[Cutter]

It's just hard. This is just the sound your mouth makes when you chew a banana.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Well, I guess I've just.

[Cutter]

And talk at the same time. I guess.

[Jamie]

Right? Yeah. So Paige says talks to the tv asking questions of why things are happening, what's happening.

[Cutter]

That's all you and Cutter do when you watch sports.

[Jamie]

Well, we're angry. Yeah. We're more so cursing the world. Yeah. We're not dropped that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You suck me while like the most elite athlete in the world. We're like, you're terrible. I'm reclined, out of shape.

[Cutter]

People yelling at professional athletes, out of shape. Well, I wasn't saying you.

[Jamie]

Excuse me?

[Cutter]

I wasn't saying specifically out of you people. I wasn't saying specific.

[Jamie]

How dare you, Jamie Lynn. I know you do your little girl Pilates every now and then, but, you know, Robbie's. Robbie's in there.

[Cutter]

Three times a week, Robbie's in there.

[Jamie]

Okay. Talk to the tv, asking questions, agreeing out loud. By the way, this is a sidebar, but Cutter's brother was over recently. And, I mean, Cutter. It was a relief for us because Cutter was on him throughout the day. But he's like, with the chair. How he sat in the chair where he's like, whoa, you really work in that chair. And he's like. His brother would recline. He'd be like, whoa, let me do it. Like, let him. Like, dude, he was crazy with his brother.

[Cutter]

That's what it's like to live with him.

[Jamie]

He was.

[Cutter]

That's how he's like with our kids. That's why Bo every once in a while be like, he's making me crazy, Mom.

[Jamie]

He. There was another. What was the other thing he did? Oh. And he was eating chips. And he was eating chips. And he's like, so you're not. You're gonna wash your hands after you eat those chips, huh? And his brother was like, what? Like, yeah, sure. Like, I'll eat. And the second he, like, finished the bag, and he's like, all right, time to wash the hand. Hands. And by the way, this sounds like cutter's brother is six years old. He's not. He's 30.

[Cutter]

He's 30 years old.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Yeah. He's a 30 year old man. And Cutter's following him like, hey, gonna wash your hands, huh? And then I guess there were, like, ants where he was sleeping or whatever. And, like, Cutter went through the garbage. Like, you're not eating stuff over. And his brother's like, what? No, like, dude, he is so funny. It's.

[Cutter]

It's only one word for it.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I find it very funny, um, agreeing out loud. Oh, so. So the other one, what the other one said, it's actually on a different sheet. But what this woman said was she's like, somebody comes to my office every day, and instead of knocking on the door, they go knock, knock every time. Yeah. Oh, that would fucking. I couldn't. I would. I would tell the person I hate them. I couldn't just let that go. No. After, like, the third day, I'd be like, what the fuck is this? I couldn't.

[Cutter]

Oh, like if, like back in the day when we were working, if somebody would come up to your trailer every time and go, knock knock, would that bother you?

[Jamie]

There's a difference because like with Sopranos, I was having a good time and like enjoying it. I'm picturing like me in an office hating my life and somebody being like, knock knock. And I'm like, shut the up. Like, really bothered by. Yeah, but if I like, loved my job and somebody was like, knock knock. I don't think it would bother you.

[Cutter]

Would say something though. You'd be like, you have to say knock knock.

[Jamie]

Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Or I would hit them back with a knock. I would hit the. Yeah, I would say something there. But. But, yeah, but if I hated my job, I would have to really like, put them in their place. Yeah, yeah. I couldn't just let that go.

[Jamie]

You really want me?

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

No, I think. I think you get offended at me sometimes when I bring up who you really are in a way of, like, you. Or maybe it's just this thing that really bothers you. Like, when I talk about how you, like, plan stuff, like, you want to do something, but then when it comes down to it, you don't want to do it. Like, you talk about how you just want to stay home and, like, yeah, you don't want to do stuff, but I think if you're like, you know, like, I think you'll have the idea of, like, oh, we'll go do this, or, like, and I think it's the best intentions.

[Cutter]

And when you want it, when I say it, right?

[Jamie]

But yeah, but then when I go like, jame, you're not gonna want to do that. You get mad at me.

[Cutter]

I do.

[Jamie]

Yeah. You've been. You've been like, that's not true. And I'm like, james, I know. And Cutter will agree because Cutter's been there and been like, james, you're not going to want to do that. When the day comes, like, down, you're going to want to just chill.

[Cutter]

Right?

[Jamie]

You know?

[Cutter]

But I didn't know I get mad.

[Jamie]

Well, I think you go like, I want to do it. And then I think when it comes to that day, if. If. If we're like, told you you don't. Then you're mad, you know, for, like, we said you weren't going to want to do this. Like, you know, we're said we're just. We should just stay. Like, whenever we do, like, a Super bowl thing, me and Cutter always, like, we just want to stay. We just want to stay at the house. And then you're like, you know, we should go to, like, somebody's house and, like, do something. And then we're. And then, like, the day comes. It's crazy. And then last time we had to, like, leave early, and it was all this, like, remember when Bo got hurt? And I know it was. It was tragedy, but we're like, how nice would it be if we were just sitting you know what I mean? But then. But then it's a problem if we're like, see, Jamie, obviously, like, it's not the right thing to do, to be like, see, Jamie, we should have just stayed home. Yeah. And then you're like, you know, But I think. Because that's the thing. It's like you deep down have the good intentions of, like, well, I think.

[Cutter]

I always want to.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Like, I want to do this thing.

[Cutter]

But I have certain circumstances that I'll. Then I'll be in the day. And I'm like, that's just hard for me.

[Jamie]

Of course. That's the thing.

[Cutter]

But is. Well, then, yes, that is a heart. That is a thing for me that I wish I was more able to do or had the energy to do and, like, wishful thinking. But in the reality. Yes. Of. Of sort of making me acknowledge that I won't. Most likely.

[Jamie]

Because in my head, if you were like, do you want to go see, like, whoever. My fucking favorite. If you're like, you want to go see the Foo Fighters? Like, you're somebody who I would enjoy, and it's like, yeah. Oh, yeah, that sounds good. And then the fucking day. I'd be like, oh, we're going to see the Foo Fighters tomorrow. Like. But the thing is, I. I'm fully in. I fully understand. I plan. Nothing I don't want to do. I'm there. I. I get it. You know what I mean? It's like the thing we were talking about, like, how long before you'd have to leave a house? You know? Like, I. There. You're like, I know. I don't have to leave, but other people, like, we're going to go to dinner tonight, and it's like, yeah, that sounds good. Like, you know where. I'm like, no.

[Cutter]

Well, yeah, I do. I'm. I love when people cancel.

[Jamie]

It's the best. Yeah, of course. But that's the thing. You don't need people to cancel if you just say no.

[Cutter]

I know.

[Jamie]

You know what I mean?

[Cutter]

I know.

[Jamie]

That's. I know. I know. You don't even like talking about this. You know what I mean?

[Cutter]

It's fine.

[Jamie]

But. Okay. I want to ask another question. Ask AI. If my friend owes me $100, let's say $500. My friend owes me $500. He's owed me $500 for a year. I keep asking for it, and he's not paying me back. How do I get my money back?

[Cutter]

He's asking for it.

[Jamie]

Well, I want to know. I want to Know what AI would say when you. When. How. How do you get money back? Sorry.

[Cutter]

I love how Chat immediately validates you.

[Jamie]

Yeah, but you could probably tell Chad, hey, stop validating me. And it won't, right?

[Cutter]

Oh, yeah, probably.

[Jamie]

Hey, I don't like you validating me.

[Cutter]

Stop treating me like a pussy.

[Jamie]

Oh, all right, well, let's. Let's. Let's go back up to the answer.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Got it.

[Cutter]

Straight up, no fluff.

[Jamie]

Let's go back up to the answer and see what it says. Oh. Small claims court. Damn. ChatGPT is. What do you call that? Not literal. What's the. When you're a litigation. What do you call that when you're. Like, when you sue?

[Sponsor Voice 3]

Ligious.

[Jamie]

Litigious. Thank you, Annie. Yeah, Jamie was looking at me like I was crazy.

[Cutter]

I was not going to come up with that.

[Jamie]

Litigious. Yeah. Chat GBT is litigious, huh? I don't like that.

[Cutter]

Are we having a bat mitzvah back there? Maybe.

[Jamie]

Maybe we should say, stop being litigious. I told you not to be racist, Tanner. That's. I think that counts. Try, try, try to try to resolve it personally one last time. Hold on. Go back up. I'm still reading that. Be direct but respectful. Sometimes people avoid repayment because they feel awkward or hoping. Well, I just said that I was asking about. Send a written note with the amount owed. Oh, that's the worst.

[Cutter]

Oh, you gotta have it in writing.

[Jamie]

I'm saying, if you have a friend and you're like, hey, here's a letter. I've asked you for this thing a bunch. Come on, you can't.

[Cutter]

Will a text be enough to be in writing?

[Jamie]

Oh, yeah.

[Cutter]

In a small claim, yeah.

[Jamie]

It says text or email. All right, when it was lent, blah, blah, blah. Use a payment plan if needed. Okay. Small claims court. If the person.

[Cutter]

If the person show.

[Jamie]

If the personal attempts. We got to get Judge Jamie. We got to get you judging stuff. We got to. We got to come up with stuff that you can judge person. Personal attempts fail. If you're serious. All right, let's go with mediation service, some areas. Okay. What did it say after you said, stop treating me like a pussy? Got it. Straight up. Step one, call them out. Oh, hell yeah. Here we go. You owe me 500. It's been long enough. I want it back.

[Sponsor Voice 2]

Bye.

[Cutter]

Don't make me take this further.

[Jamie]

Ooh. No jokes. No small talk. Okay, Give. Give him a clear deadline. Okay, so when you say take it, what could we ask ChatGPT? Is it okay to be violent?

[Listener/Caller 1]

Oh, yeah, that's the. That's the correct answer that it's not going to give you. It's rob them.

[Jamie]

Rob somebody. That's rob your friend?

[Listener/Caller 1]

Yeah. You take it back.

[Jamie]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Cutter]

No, it's draw the line. I can't help with violence or someone that can hurt someone. Get safe and cool off, Rob.

[Jamie]

I didn't. Yeah, I didn't. Really.

[Cutter]

It says. What does it say? It says you're going to owe me more if you don't pay me by this date, we'll take it to small claims court and you'll owe me more after fees and time. Your choice.

[Jamie]

Would you. Is there anything mean you would like to say to anyone? You know, I love that. If there's any. Has anybody been pissing you off?

[Cutter]

No, I'm just coming off, you know, a lovely time. I've got nothing. I got no qualms with anybody right now.

[Jamie]

You got no beef with the cartel?

[Cutter]

No beef. No beef with the cartel. They left me alone.

[Jamie]

Thank you. Okay. All right. Here's a question I want to ask you. I heard recently that Christopher Nolan, on Christopher Nolan's movie sets, he does a thing where there's no chairs allowed. No one's allowed to sit. Hair, makeup, like, no, everybody has to stand because they. He feels that then, like, once you start sitting and then. Right. The energy dips have you. By the way, first of all, what do you think about that? That sounds crazy to me, but what do you think are there, Chris? Christopher Nolan's team clarifies that he bans what he bans from set, and it's not chairs. Can you read it and tell us what he. What he says? Okay, if it's not chairs, have you ever heard of any crazy stories of, like, this person does this on their set? Like, this is how they. How they keep it?

[Cutter]

Mm. Mm.

[Jamie]

None. Yeah, that's the thing. It's like, people claim, like, there's so many crazy stories like Hollywood, and I'm like, I don't know if I. Again, Sopranos and, like, a few other things is all I've done. But I'm trying to think if there was anything where I was like, oh, that's fucking bizarre.

[Cutter]

I mean, I've heard of, like, lead actors taking, like, extras back to their trailer. Oh, I've heard of, like, that type of stuff.

[Jamie]

So, okay. Lead actors taking girls back to their trailer. Is that. Is that so crazy? For the record, the only thing banned from Christopher Nolan's set are cell phones. Not always successful and smoking very Successful Nolan spokesperson Kelly Bush Novak of 3. Name her. Huh. Of ID said in a statement the chairs an was referring to are the director's chairs clustered around the video monitor, allocated on the basis of hierarchy, not physical need. Okay. What Christopher chooses not to use has never banned.

[Cutter]

He just doesn't use his director's chair, but said anyone else can use it.

[Jamie]

Oh, that's fine. All right. Can you look up? Are there any crate.

[Cutter]

Like, I agree with banning phones.

[Jamie]

Yeah, there should be no cell phones.

[Cutter]

I agree there shouldn't be cell phones on set. I think you become very disconnected. In fact, I can think back to when we didn't have cell phones on Sopranos. And, like, we were talking. We were staying connected. We were staying. So, like, as we were getting ready to act together, we were already still kind of in a flow together. And I can think, like, the last show I worked on. Yes. Like, I would. I would be across from somebody as they're, like, rolling and, like, the person's still in their phone and put it down and then look at me, and it. It felt rude.

[Jamie]

Oh, I thought you were going to say you were the person when it's rolling. That's crazy.

[Cutter]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

You can't listen if. If they're. If you walk away from set and you want to use your phone, it's one thing, like, even, like, five feet away. But when you're sitting across from somebody doing that, that's crazy.

[Cutter]

But I do think, too, like, being on set for me is part of the fun. And I just think, like, keeping that energy and keeping that, like, back and forth is. Unless. Unless I'm in, like, doing something that's, like, very emotional or very, you know. You know, where I have to be in a certain type of head space, I'll remove myself. But other than that, like, I think just sort of being open and talking is really important for me to keep the energy good.

[Jamie]

Yeah. I think also the important thing is, like, it totally depends on the scene. Like, if you're doing a serious scene, like, there's some scenes where you have one line and it's like, dude, you could be on your phone. Like, you could do whatever. I don't give a. Yeah, but if it's, like, a real thing and somebody's on their phone right before the last thing, it's like, that's fucking crazy. Yeah. But Again, all of 99% of my acting was done before. Fucking phone.

[Cutter]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

I don't know. Or at least before smartphones were like, people were, like, in their phones all day. Like, you had a phone, but it was like, oh yeah, that's just like emergencies, emergencies and whatever.

[Listener/Caller 2]

There's nothing too crazy. But James Cameron was suggesting that the actors on Avatar would piss in their wetsuits so it wouldn't waste time. That's probably like the, the craziest one.

[Jamie]

And he threatened to nail cell phones to the wall for going off. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Christopher Nolan has a reputation for bang chairs.

[Cutter]

Oh, cuz they had all like the, the little dots on them for all the CGI and stuff. Yeah.

[Jamie]

So then. But. But they want them to pee in their wetsuits. But are they in water?

[Listener/Caller 2]

Yeah, yeah, they're in.

[Cutter]

Not all the time though.

[Listener/Caller 2]

I think it was for the Avatar 2 in there. Like in like the whole swimming thing. If you're in a wetsuit's pretty chill.

[Jamie]

Yeah, that's not a big deal. But if I'm just like standing next to you and it's like, hey, just pee in that suit. That's fuck wild. Steve Soderberg baffled many with his strict no open toe shoes policy. I don't hate that. Leaving people to guess if it was a safety rule or applied to everyone.

[Cutter]

Including, oh my God, look at this. Some directors create intense environments. For example, the actors in the Exorcist were allegedly slapped to produce a genuine look of grief and shock in a scene.

[Jamie]

Well, you're a woman, so you've never dealt with that on Sopranos, but yeah, we would like. Jim would like rough you up.

[Cutter]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Sometimes.

[Cutter]

You know, like before the scene or in the scene.

[Jamie]

No, in the scene. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Cutter]

But this is before but by the way.

[Listener/Caller 2]

Right?

[Jamie]

Yeah. You would. Jim wouldn't rough you up. He would be very delicate and you would say to him like, it's okay. And then you forget that he's like a bear. And he was like, he could throw. He would just like throw you into like there were episodes where like he like threw me across the room. And you're like, jeez, this guy is.

[Cutter]

And.

[Jamie]

And then right after he's like, oh, I'm sorry, are you okay? And you're like, no, no, no, I'm fine. Like I remember there was one where he had to choke me like a bunch of times. And like this. And the whole next day like all under here was like, all sore. And like, I was like, yo, this guy's a. He's a big fellow. But then there was one scene, one time where like it had been a thing where like he. It was a thing where. It was this episode where he had to be like, come on, like what? Or like it just felt like it had always been leading up to where he was always on AJ's ass, you know, for years it always felt that way. And I'm sitting in the car here and he's sitting in the car here and there's a thing. I don't know if he like pushed my head or like he does something or like says something. And I went like that. Like I like flinched at him and he thought that I was. He thought I snapped. Like he thought I was going to hit him one time. It was so fudgeing funny. And I had that forever, you know, to be like, you flinched. It was great. And it was on. If we could get the fucking outtakes from Sopranos, I. I would do hbo. We will do a fucking podcast if you'll give us all the outtakes where we could sit and watch the outtakes. So fun and talk about them. That's like my dream fucking job. If we could get all the outtakes from Surprise. Because they're just sitting there somewhere.

[Cutter]

Of course.

[Jamie]

I don't get why we can't.

Thank you, Jamie. I, I greatly appreciate that. We have. So we have our sandwich guy, the OG Sandwich guy. We got a new sandwich guy. I want to know, I want to know what you think from the sandwich wars. Let's find out.

[Sponsor Voice 4]

You want to know what makes the delegate different than everybody out there? I'm going to show you. Okay? You come to my store, okay? This is the sandwich. You get 1195. 1195. Italian hero. Okay? This is what you get when the deli guy goes out on Sunday and checks everybody out there just for fun and says, can I have Italian hero? And I see the guy counting three pieces of ham, counting three pieces of salami, counting three pieces of provolone. Then he takes me to the register and whacks me for 15.95. Look at the difference. Okay? The guy that's out there in the world in Parkwood Deli night and day, it's me, the deli guy. You come to my store, I'll make you a sandwich, and I'll knock your socks off. Wow.

[Jamie]

This guy's blood pressure has to be.

New Jersey. Oh, we might have to. When we go back, we got to figure out, like, a tour that we have to do when we go back east.

[Cutter]

This. Yeah, look, I, I, that was a nice looking sandwich, but I think the, the artistry of our other sandwich guy is not, is untouched. Like, that's not, you know, that was not the same. That's like you're gonna get a great standard deli sandwich from that guy. The other guy, he's more exotic, correct?

[Jamie]

Yeah, yeah, he's hitting you with the focaccia.

[Cutter]

That's right.

[Jamie]

He's the glaze. Yeah, he's got it. He's got it all. All right, I'll, I'll I'll agree with that. How's it going back there, Tanner? You all right?

[Listener/Caller 2]

Yeah, I'm doing good.

[Jamie]

All right. We're just. We're just checking in.

[Cutter]

He's listening to Less Is More. You told him?

[Jamie]

No, listen, I just. I just didn't want him to go crazy with some racist shit. That tends to be Tanner's movie. I'm not racist. No, not. You know what I mean. Just fun, I guess, is another way to say it. So you just said they're not there yet with the baby wipes. The kids?

[Cutter]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Have you had to have the drug talk yet with. Because Bo is how old?

[Cutter]

12.

[Jamie]

12. That's Robbie. When Robbie started drinking and smoking.

[Cutter]

Crazy.

[Jamie]

Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah.

[Cutter]

Well, he's asked, like, questions, like, is. He's asked questions about, like, a football player he heard about that got arrested for drugs. And, like, what does that mean? Or he's. Or when we watch Forrest Gump, there is, like, the scene where Jenny's kind of all up and, like, stands on the balcony, and he asked me, like, what. What's wrong with her?

[Jamie]

Is he like, what's aids?

[Cutter]

He didn't ask me about aids. Does she have AIDS in the movie?

[Jamie]

Yeah, she dies from. Doesn't she die from aids? Doesn't Jenny die from aids? They never say it specifically, but she.

[Cutter]

Just said, I'm sick.

[Jamie]

It really seems like that's likely what it is. Oh, they leave it open to interpretation. Okay.

[Cutter]

So, yeah, no, I'm. I've just explained. And look, we had to have the talk with him, too, about, like, people that we've known in our lives that have, like, you know, had issues with things and why we don't talk to them or why we have whatever that, you know, drugs and things sometimes can make. Can change you. Sometimes they can just sort of, you know, really derail you from what you want to do. They can damage your brain and your body. So we've talked like that, but he has no idea. Like, he has not any Asked me anything specifically yet about drugs. But then again, I really feel like I've. I'm surrendering to the fact that he probably knows a lot more things than I think he knows.

[Jamie]

Oh, for sure. Yeah. But I. The weird thing is, like, I look back in my head right when I was. When I was 12, and I was like, oh, I was, like, not a man, but, like, I. I was. I was. And then I look at him. I'm like, he's a baby.

[Cutter]

He's a bit. That's what he's such a young 12.

[Jamie]

But I'm saying they all. That's, that's the thing. I think. I think we were young, but I.

[Cutter]

Knew you when you were 12 and you had an edge to you and an awareness to you that he not have.

[Jamie]

But it just takes that one day. Like, by the way, that might even be worse where like some kid could just be like, you're not going to smoke weed with us. You. And then he's like, okay, like, you know what I mean? It just takes one kid to have some weed.

[Cutter]

I don't think any of his friends are doing that right now. I don't think there's any weed right now. And he's laughing.

[Jamie]

Tell him any.

[Listener/Caller 1]

Yeah, I mean, I smoked weed at 11. His friends are definitely smoking weed.

[Jamie]

Probably doing.

[Listener/Caller 2]

No, no, they're like, you're over in like a nice area.

[Sponsor Voice 1]

Like.

[Cutter]

Yeah, these boys play like football and baseball every day, all day. Yeah, exactly.

[Listener/Caller 2]

Wait till he's like 15.

[Jamie]

Yeah, 15. He's definitely going to be.

[Cutter]

Well, he said to me, mom, eighth graders vape. Like, I think like eighth grade, ninth.

[Jamie]

Grades, when that shit, he'll vape like eighth grade summer. So that's. No, I'm sure. Like, all like, the good kids I.

[Listener/Caller 2]

Hung out with, like, one of them got a vape. And then we had like a big sleepover and it was game. Since then, my life has been more cool. But like, I'm just saying, one of them is going to get it.

[Jamie]

That is true. It's like the second I started smoking weed, things got so much cooler.

[Cutter]

Yeah, of course.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Cutter]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

Hanging out in the park. And then it was like. Because before that it was like, you know, you'd be like, can I do this? And then it just became like, here's what I'm doing. This is my thing now.

[Cutter]

You know what I feel like it's going to be? The real, like, sign for me is when he's. When he wants to stop hanging around Jack as much.

[Jamie]

Yeah.

[Cutter]

Because he loves to hang with Jack. He loves to include Jack. And I think when he starts to be like, no, I'm not hanging with him, is when I'm gonna feel like maybe he's moved on.

[Jamie]

I just figured out the hundred percent sign when he stops waking up at 6am trying to hang out with the family, like once. It's like, man, Bo's still sleeping. That means he's. That means he's doing drugs. Yeah, for sure. Because I remember being like 8 years old and staying at my aunt's place and like, Trying to wake my cousins up at like, 11 in the morning and being like, are these guys dead? Like, you know, but they were out all night, like, hanging out and whatever. And then cut to me being 12 and like, you go from, like, waking up at. Then it was like 8am but your kids wake up early, right? Yes.

[Cutter]

Like, well, unfortunately, on the weekends when they have nothing to do, they're up at six. Yeah. They don't wake us up easy.

[Jamie]

Six. I've never in my life was waking up at six. I was always late. But I would. I would be up with my mom at midnight watching Cheers when I was like, seven years.

[Cutter]

Right. We put them to bed.

[Jamie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, yeah, I think you. Because then it was like, overnight, where I went from, like, whatever, waking up at 8:00am, 9:00am to being like, I sleep until noon.

[Cutter]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jamie]

Like, my door is shut. Don't wake me up. Like, that's. That's a. That's a telltale sign.

[Cutter]

All right, I'll let you know when that happens.

[Jamie]

Any other signs that you guys. Well, I guess if he ever walks in and goes right to his room, that's a sign too.

[Listener/Caller 2]

That's the biggest one. If he walks in, doesn't say what's up to you or, like, your hus. You know, like, yeah, it's game over. I had a question. Would you be more mad at him for drinking or for smoking?

[Jamie]

Smoking cigarettes or weed?

[Listener/Caller 2]

Weed. We'd. Smoking cigarettes. That'd be, like, awful.

[Cutter]

Yeah, like drinking. I think.

[Listener/Caller 2]

I think the kids who smoke weed are, like, a lot more like, if you're a kid and you're smoking weed, I think you're a little worse than, like, a kid who's drinking.

[Cutter]

Yeah, I agree. Yeah. Drinking. I bet they'll all experiment with alcohol before weed.

[Jamie]

Plus, here's the difference too, right? Is like, if you're. If you try alcohol, he's not coming home drunk. But he could take one or two hits of weed and be high. But if he's like, oh, I drank half a beer. You like, you know, it's not like he's coming home drunk. We're like, if he comes home fucking staggering. Like, you know, that's. That's a problem. That would be like, what the.

[Cutter]

I remember coming home from a party at six teen and just puking my brains out.

[Jamie]

And you were a little angel. So you gotta think, well, okay, tomorrow Bo walks in from school, he's staggering drunk. What do you do?

[Cutter]

Calling the school, first of all, what the.

[Jamie]

Well, let's say let's say he said, I'm going to Dylan's house after or whatever.

[Cutter]

How's he getting home?

[Jamie]

The parents are dropping him off, but they're a bunch of alkies, too, you know? Yeah. I don't know. He took a scooter. Let's just say. Let's just say use your imagination. Curious Bo walks in drunk. And action.

[Cutter]

Oh, my God. What do you mean? I would, like. I don't know. I. First of all, I would. I think I would make Cutter handle it first because I would be so mad. I tend to. When I get really angry, I know I'm going to say things that I'm going to regret and not be as clear. I always hand it to Cutter. Always. First, he. He's actually fantastic in those situations. Yeah, he's very good with talks with the boys, and I'm gonna always give it to him first, and then I'll come in when I've calmed down. I'm very. I'm Cuban. I'm very reactive. Very reactive when it's stuff like that.

[Jamie]

But you're also very. You're good.

[Cutter]

Like, when I calm down, you're very.

[Jamie]

I can have a good time, but I feel like, obviously, like, you know, with your kids or your husband and things are like, you know, it's a very different dynamic with people and, like, the people who they live with and who they're closest to. But otherwise, I feel like you always do the right thing.

[Cutter]

That's nice.

[Jamie]

You always, like, you know, if I ever question how I handle something, I know to go to you and be like, is this bad? Or, like, you know.

[Cutter]

But when I'm pro. When I'm provoked with an ex and, like, something extreme or like, I. I'll be. When it's not about me, whether it's me, I internalize. And you wouldn't even know what's happening. But, like, for my kid or anything like that, I would be reactive and know I know enough now to just remove myself.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Even the people who are the best. When it comes to people you live with, whether it's your parents or your brothers and sister, your kid, it's a totally different thing when you're in. Under the same roof with people. It's a very different dynamic than, like, the outside world. Yeah, 100%.

[Cutter]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

You know, you.

[Cutter]

Maybe I'll tell him to call you. What would you say to him?

[Jamie]

I'd be like, go sleep this off, and then we'll have a talk. Because I don't. I wouldn't want if this is my kid or if it was Beau, you're saying Bo, if it was. But yeah, I'd be like, bro, go. Because you don't want to talk to him drunk. What's the point?

[Cutter]

Right?

[Jamie]

So you go see. And then I would just be like, you know, I would just talk to him, be like, dude, what are you doing? Like, that's not cool, what happened, you know? But he. He lies. So it would be tough to listen to the podcast.

[Cutter]

You told me you're getting up in parks at 12.

[Jamie]

Yeah, I'd be like, well, that's not right. Don't. Don't use my.

[Cutter]

I do have a lot of thoughts of, like, when we. We talk about things that we might be coming up with our kids or things that they might be doing in the next couple of years, and we do talk. Like, we did all that. Like, we did it all. Like, we did lie to our parents. We did sneak out. We did do these things every once in a while. It's a really weird thing to be confronted with all of a sudden now where you're on the other side of things. And I do feel like it's weird that the world feels less safe and we can, like, track our kids as before. Like, our parents had no idea what we were doing and they had no idea of tracking us, yet it felt safer.

[Jamie]

Well, because you know what I think it is? I think because, like, when I was, whatever, 12, 16, whatever, it's like my parents knew all the tricks because it wasn't technology based where, like, now, because things are technology based, kids are better with technology than adults. So it's like they know the tricks where you're like, wait, well, like, if you were following. If you were following your kids on an app where, like, you knew where they were, they would probably know a way to be like, oh, yeah, I'm going to make it look like I'm over here. Really?

[Listener/Caller 2]

I'm going to disable it.

[Jamie]

Right? Yeah.

[Cutter]

Or just leave their phone at their friend's house and go out.

[Jamie]

Yeah. Or there's an app that does. There's an app that specifically makes you look like you're somewhere and you could just leave it there. Like, they would know where. You wouldn't. So it does feel more dangerous because kids are. And also, like, especially people who didn't live in big cities. If your kid was going to his friend's house, like, there was no opportunity for them to come in contact with some creepy.

[Cutter]

Yeah.

[Jamie]

We're now with online phones, like, all this stuff. It's like, who knows who could get in contact with your fucking kids? It's bizarre. Yeah. And also there were a lot of neighborhoods, like, where, like, my brothers and stuff grew up, where it's like, oh, there's like two weirdos in the neighborhood.

[Cutter]

Right?

[Jamie]

You know, now it's just fucking. And the amount of weirdos are fucking.

[Cutter]

Endless, or do we just know more about more of them?

[Jamie]

Yeah, that's true. I mean, listen, in big cities, there was always a lot of weirdos, but I feel like in those neighborhoods, you were like, yeah, then you don't know if people shut their front door and, like, put on fucking stockings and, you know, dance around and pig masks. Yeah, that's. That's what your boy Ed Gein is doing, right, Tanner? Maybe Shout. Shout out to your boy Ed. Geek. Cutter. Cutter. What I wanted to say about Cutter the other day. So there was. There was, like, a medicine that I was looking into, and I reached out to one of my friends whose wife has something, and I was like, hey, like, you know, if your wife has tried this, because it's. All the comments that I'm looking at are talking about how this helps, that the thing that she has. I don't want to, you know, call out people and what they have, but. And he was like, oh, I don't know. Like, I don't know if she's tried that medicine or not. And I was like, oh. I was like, see, I'm used to dealing with Cutter. Cutter loves you so much research. He knows, but he just know, like, he knows everything. I could be like, hey. He'll be like, jamie farted last Tuesday at 3:00'. Clock. Like, you know what I mean? Like, he's so like, you know, where most people are like, dude, I don't know what the hell my wife.

[Cutter]

Well, that comes hand in hand with what we were talking about where he's like, wash your hands. Like that. That's. That's the trade off, right? You get somebody that's like, so caring, that's so aware, that watches you so much. Yes, it drives you crazy. But on one hand, he just can't help it. He's just like. He's constantly trying to take care of everything and everyone all the time.

[Jamie]

Yeah. But there's also like, I have friends who I go like, oh, yeah, what? Your kid is doing this in school? And they're like, I don't. I don't really know, like, what's going on. And Cutter's, like, dialed in, you know, like, he's always. He's He's. He's spinning all those plates, you know?

[Cutter]

Yep.

[Jamie]

All right, we will see you guys next week.

[Sponsor Voice 1]
