Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Introducing Lauren: Family Smarts & Athletic Rivalry

• Lauren, Natalie’s younger sister, is introduced as a high school senior and, according to the group, possibly the smartest and most athletic of the sisters.
  • Lauren on nerves: "My name is Lauren and I am a senior in high school and I'm really excited to be on the podcast." (00:45)
• Discussion of academic achievements (Lauren has a 4.2 GPA) and playful teasing between sisters about intelligence and athleticism.

2. Gen Z Slang: "Federal"

• Jason seeks insight into new slang from his daughter and Lauren.
  • Jason: "My daughter said it to me the other day...[the club] is federal in there right now." (05:40)
• The group attempts to decipher "federal"—debating whether it means official, “too young,” or just crowded.

3. Senses, The Unknown, & David's Psychic Bit

• Philosophical riff: If humans lacked certain senses, we wouldn't even know what we were missing. This leads to speculation about unexplored senses and psychic powers.
  • David: "Isn't that kind of crazy to think about? Therefore, how many things do we not have that we just can't interpret?" (07:00)
• David claims psychic prowess and, in a humorous segment, attempts to "sense" where everyone is in the house with surprising accuracy.
  • Jason: "Tell me where Brooke is."
    David (correctly): "Brooke is sitting in the great room on the roachy bubble... couch on the left side." (08:08)
  • The group is impressed, with playful skepticism and laughter about David's “clairvoyance.”

4. The House’s Disney Legacy & Hosting Fans

• David shares the fun fact that Roy Disney (Walt’s brother) once owned the land where his house stands.
  • David: "Roy Disney used to own this lot... No one ever built a house on here. But then they built this." (10:43)
• Humorous stories about giving house tours to fans who come for social media challenges.

5. Music Artists & Memory

• The group debates whether artists remember all their songs and how some can perform covers perfectly on the fly.
  • David: "There's not a song in my life that I know front to back without fail... our musicians just—is that just, like, another language to them?" (12:45)
• Reference to Lil Wayne not writing lyrics down and not always remembering what he’s written.

6. Dentist Dread

• David discusses his ongoing dental saga—root canals, missing teeth, and putting off follow-up visits out of fear.
  • David: "Two of my teeth in the back are down to my gums. They don't exist. And I was supposed to go back the following week... but it's been two months." (14:14)

7. Nightlife in LA: The Anxiety of Getting In

• The group recounts a Valentine’s weekend outing to a friend's underground club and David’s chronic anxiety about arriving early to skip lines.
  • David: "I'd rather get to the party an hour early, not deal with anything, and wait for people to show up..." (18:26)
• Natalie teases David for worrying excessively despite his celebrity status.

8. License Plate Prank & Nearly Getting Caught

• David describes a (potentially illegal) license plate cover gadget that displays a cheeky message ("EAT MY ASS") and how he accidentally drove around with it exposed, risking both humiliation and legal trouble.
  • David: "My entire plate had eat my ass on it... Not only that, but the plate under 'eat my ass' didn't actually match my car, it was my mom's Volkswagen." (19:21)

9. Valentine’s Weekend, Clubs & Burlesque Shows

• Jason shares his Valentine's club story about being seated in "the fun area"—right in front of burlesque performers while eating chicken parm.
  • Jason: "I mean, they're at least... they're like nipple tassel naked." (22:24)
• The group debates the awkwardness of eating during such shows and crowd interaction fears at live events.

10. Comedy, Stand-up, and Crowd Work Anxiety

• David and Jason discuss the appeal of live stand-up, recounting seeing celebrity comedians and the fear of crowd work.
  • David: "I wish there was a show that could guarantee no crowd work." (23:09)

11. Movie Review: "Nirvana the Band, the Show, the Movie"

Jason’s Enthusiastic Recommendation

• Jason: "It's the best movie I've seen in, like, 20 years. Best comedy. Nirvana, the Band. Nirvana, the Band, the Show, the movie." (24:35)
• Raves about its mix of documentary style, CGI, Borat-style real-life interactions, and meta storytelling.

David’s Reluctant Viewing & Review

• David watches it for the podcast at a small indie theater, slightly irked by the confusing title (which has nothing to do with Nirvana the band).
• David: "It was a really, really, really good, low budget movie... but it wasn’t the best comedy in 20 years." (29:53)
• The group discusses how the misleading title distracted David throughout and compares it to found-footage films like "Chronicle" and "Project Almanac".

12. Debate: Mainstream vs. Indie Movie Taste

• David reflects on how people pick favorites like "Interstellar" and whether it’s “basic” to love a mainstream hit versus an indie film.
  • David: "I've accepted that I'm like a fucking loser when it comes to like, I will like the more basic things. So I've accepted that. But when other people say it, I always say people are fucking with me. But I guess Christopher Nolan is that good." (33:00)
  • Jason and David agree it’s harder to make a crowd-pleaser, and discuss "Interstellar", "Wolf of Wall Street", and the power of a widely loved film.

13. Modern Movie Watching: Subtitles & The Theater Experience

• The group talks about watching movies with subtitles, Netflix habits, and the comfort (or intrusion) of always having words on screen.
  • David: "I just kept them on just 'cause they were like comfort. It's like a little blanket that's like, tucks the movie in underneath." (38:14)

14. Mice Utopia, Social Connection, and the Internet

• Jason discusses a study about mice in "utopia," drawing metaphors for overstimulation and social connection in the age of the internet.
  • Jason: "There was, like, so much. It was, like, too much stimulation, like, too perfect. So he was comparing it to what we do with, like, the Internet now..." (40:10)
• The group meditates on how their own social habits—especially David’s homebody tendencies—are shaped by comfort, convenience, and the challenges of LA parking.

15. Friendship, Plans, and Movie Night FOMO

• Episode wraps up with David apologizing for not inviting Jason to the movie, prompting playful speculation on snacks and whether anyone actually wanted to see the movie—but agreed it was good for the podcast.

[A]

Hey.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

You know what this means? It's federal in there. The kids say that where you are.

[B]

Excuse me?

[A]

No, my daughter said it to me the other day.

[C]

It's federal.

[B]

Like it's legit now.

[A]

Like we were going to go somewhere but there were too many kids there after school. She's like, I'm not going in there. It's federal in there right now. It's federal. And I was like, what? Why can't we go there?

[B]

Yeah, feral federal.

[A]

Like federal prison.

[C]

Like everyone's too young.

[B]

Bad. When I think of federal, I think of like official.

[A]

Yeah, they think that's what it means. That's why I was asking Lauren.

[B]

Okay, so she's. So that's not a good thing.

[A]

Not a good thing? No, a federal. Right. It's federal right now. Don't go there. You can use it too. If you go to the club and you're like, not too many young people on there. Zook is federal right now.

[B]

That's what he's saying that.

[C]

No, that is what he's saying.

[B]

Federal. He's saying that it's too like jailhouse.

[A]

Just maybe just too crowded.

[B]

Yeah. Too crowd on them.

[A]

Because I think that's what it means.

[B]

You think his 16 year old daughter is saying it's too young in there? In a grocery store, Like.

[C]

Yeah, like if she's like a senior in high school and there's a bunch of freshmen hanging out.

[A]

17. Wow.

[C]

In there, it's like, oh, that's like, you're gonna. You're gonna go to jail if you hang out with this young kids. I don't know.

[B]

No, bro, she's 17. She's a kid. You ID.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Okay, My bad.

[B]

Okay. Anyway, so what I was. You know what I saw the other day, Jay?

[A]

What?

[B]

This is really interesting. Like, if no humans. If, like, they're okay. So obviously, we have a bunch of different senses. Right? Put them.

[A]

Five.

[B]

Five? Yeah.

[C]

A bunch of different.

[B]

Well, I was like, it's either five or six.

[C]

No, six. It's five.

[B]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. It's five senses. What's the Sixth Sense? That's a movie, right? Okay, so that would make sense, because he has another sense. Anyway, so if you never had a sense of smell or if humans didn't have a sense of smell, we wouldn't know that smell exists. Like, isn't that kind of crazy to think about? Therefore, how many things do we not have that we just can't interpret? Just think about it.

[A]

Like, the sense of who's behind that door.

[B]

Yeah, we don't have that. Anything tell, like, telepathy or, like, seeing radio waves or anything like that. It's kind of crazy that, like, we don't have access to things that probably are, like, prominent in this world, but we just, like, literally do not have, like, the device to figure it out or find it. They're not crazy to think about who's.

[A]

The most clairvoyant here?

[B]

Like, who is the closest to 6 cents? Yeah, I think me.

[A]

What have you done? That's.

[B]

I'm telling you, I could otherworldly. I could touch the ground. I could tell you who's in the house right now.

[A]

Shut up.

[B]

Yeah, and I could tell you where they're standing. Yeah, go. Okay. Are you gonna look out the door?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, you need to grab the mic, dude. You just. I'm touching the ground right now. Okay, okay, okay. So I'm touching the ground.

[A]

Go ahead.

[B]

Back towards the entire thing. All right, good.

[A]

No, not until recently. Wow.

[A]

How old were you when you realized.

[C]

You were the son of a president?

[B]

[A]

FX's love story, John F. Kennedy Jr. And Carolyn Bassett.

[B]

I didn't think I could love someone like this until you.

[A]

From executive producer Ryan Murphy.

[B]

It's not a question of if I.

[C]

Want to spend the rest of my life with you. It's if I'm cut out to be.

[A]

Mrs. JFK Jr. FX's love story.

[B]

John F. Kennedy Jr. And Carolyn Bassette.

[A]

Watch now on FX, Hulu and Hulu.

[B]

On Disney plus for bundle subscribers. You know who you sell in this house? Have we talked about this?

[C]

Who know? You've managed to tell literally every person we know this weekend. Every time. We're like, David just brings us up everywhere we go.

[B]

Well, well, wait. I think I have said this on the podcast. Walt Disney's brother.

[A]

Okay. Oh, no.

[B]

Roy Disney used to own this lot.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

No one ever built a house on here. But then they built this. This is the first thing to build on his lot.

[C]

How random.

[B]

Kind of cool. Yeah. I've done, like, two house tours this week because, like, you know. You know, like, you know how, like, those people that, like, come up to you on the street, and they're like, if I had a million likes, gonna hang out with you, blah, blah, blah, blah. So two of those people came and visited me, and each of them wanted a house tour. And I literally felt like I was working on a museum because I was making the same exact jokes. And I was, like, walking by the same things, and I'd be like, this is the Kids Choice Award. Did you know it's also Kaleidoscope? And then I'd walk by, like, my picture with Tom Cruise, and I was like, this is my best friend Tom. I'd make the joke. And then I just. I was like, I hope these videos aren't edited the same way, because it's literally me doing the same thing in different outfits. But, yeah, I think it's kind of.

[A]

We all have our house jokes.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

You know what I was thinking about? I was thinking about.

[B]

I thought I smelled wood burning. Am I right, Jay? Sorry, girl.

[C]

Okay. I was thinking about how, like, oh, my God. It wasn't that funny.

[B]

I think we said it on the pod the other day.

[A]

Now, the fact that he called it back. I thought I smelled wood.

[B]

Birdie.

[C]

Do you think an artist, a musician, a singer is, like, they remember every song? Like, I'm just thinking about all the albums that some of these artists have put out, and it's like, let's say you, like, get called up on stage because you had a. You had a collab with the Chainsmokers or whatever. Now you're in Vegas, and they want to, like. They want to perform that song that you guys had together.

[B]

Well, okay, here's the thing.

[C]

Do you actually. Do they actually remember all these fucking songs they made?

[B]

The answer is yes and no. Like, Lil Wayne. Have you seen. I've seen interviews of him where someone will read back a verse to him, and he'll be like, who wrote that? And they'll be like, you did. Oh, what the fuck?

[A]

Lil Wayne doesn't write anything down either.

[B]

Oh, yeah, he's from the dome, and he's made, like, over a thousand songs. Right. He's just like. He goes to the recording studio and records like, 100 songs in one moment. Yeah. So he has no Idea that he's written things. But even what's crazier to me, other than artists remembering their songs or not, I've seen videos of people forgetting their own lyrics. But what's crazier to me is, like, when an artist plays another person's song on stage.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I don't get that. Like, there's not a song in my life that I know front to back without fail. I know the beats especially, because they're making the music. Like, you know, I mean, like, you'll have, like, Shawn Mendes go on stage.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, like, do acapella. But, like, he'll do it so perfectly, and he's doing all the music behind it. Like, our musicians just. Is that just, like, another language to them? Well, like, how do they remember everything front to back? Like, and the melodies and the chorus. And they're getting it right with the band that they're with. Like, how do they have to rehearse that for, like, a full two weeks?

[C]

Well, that I think for, like, for a tour. Yes, they're rehearsing. They're rehearsing whatever covers they're doing and stuff.

[B]

Are you sure? Because I feel like I see, like, artists, like, sometimes get on stage, and then someone, like, from the audience will shout, can you please play a little bit of, like, Benson Boone? And then the person would be like, I should be like, does it go, like. And then he finds it, and then he, like, sings the whole song.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, how. How is that possible if he has. How can he pull from his memory like that if it's not playing, he's playing it.

[C]

I think that is, like, some artists, I think, do have that, like, superpower where they can do something like that.

[B]

So similar to me touching the ground and being able to know what's in the room, they can kind of tap into us.

[C]

Even just a slight step above your talents, I think.

[B]

Interesting.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. I could touch the ground. I could feel who the biggest bitch is in the entire room.

[C]

Oh, shit. Lauren, watch out.

[B]

Back corner, couch, movie room. I have to go to the dentist today.

[A]

Yeah. What's going on?

[B]

Which I'm really scared about. Do you remember when I went to the dentist two months ago on the pod?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So. So I went to the dentist. They had to. I got a root canal and they had to shave off two of my teeth in the back. So two of my teeth in the back are down to my gums. They don't exist. And I was supposed to go back the following week to put the top of my tooth back on, so it'd be even with the rest of my mouth. But it's been two months, and I'm too scared to go back to the dentist that I've just not had teeth on my left side of my mouth. I've just, like, been chewing on my right side because my teeth don't connect on my left.

[C]

Crazy.

[B]

So today I have to go back for the first time. But. Yeah. So it's gonna be.

[A]

Is it gonna be painful?

[B]

Yeah, it's gonna be really painful. I'm really nervous for it.

[A]

God damn. What's going on with your teeth?

[B]

Well, nothing. It's just the same thing that I've been battling with.

[A]

Hey, isn't it funny when you go. When you go to buy something and then the tip portion comes up and the person goes, it's just gonna ask you some questions.

[B]

Yeah, it's funny.

[A]

I hate that. I didn't do anything wrong.

[B]

That's really funny.

[C]

I'm gonna interrogate you.

[B]

Ask me some. What? Always so awkward. Yeah. You know the other day I got an Uber.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then the last second, I decided, I'm not gonna take it. I'm just gonna have my friend, who is sober, drive my car back.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And. And he was like, I'm just gonna cancel. I'm like, no, no, go do the ride, and I'll tip you, like, 50% for the inconvenience.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

So he just drove to my house on his own.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

My car drove home. Like, you have to do that. She's like, I don't know. It's like. It's very difficult.

[A]

Cancel it. He gets paid anyway.

[B]

Yeah. But he's probably looking forward to driving, you know, to the Valley. So I was just like. Just take it.

[A]

So you texted him drive to my house?

[B]

No, I was in his car.

[A]

Oh, you already in.

[B]

And then I asked in the car. I was like, is anybody in here sober? And one person was like, I'm sober. Oh, great. Can you just drive my car? And then I was like, I'm so sorry. We're gonna hop out right here. My car's here. And, yeah, he was like, it's no big deal. But, yeah.

[A]

Where were you Friday night?

[B]

I went to. Was this Valentine's Day?

[A]

No, Galentine's Day.

[C]

Friday was not.

[B]

Oh, well. So well. But we did go to a Valentine's Day party, so our buddy has this, like, nightclub.

[A]

Is it hot in here?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. You want me to touch the ground and change the temperature?

[A]

Please. Whatever you. Whatever you can do.

[B]

Our buddy Has a like a club in his basement. Oh, I've heard it's not even in his basement. What is it?

[C]

It's like, it's like a guest house. It's like he has in the ground.

[A]

This where Natalie throws the money.

[B]

Yes. So. So he has like a strip club in there. A bar, like a public bathroom, dance floor. The urinals are lips.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Kind of cool. Okay, like a mouth. How many people is weird if you're describing it? It's more, it's more cute than it is like weird like.

[C]

Yeah, it's like like a 70s retro like toilet looking thing.

[B]

Yeah. And then the whole club feels very like 70s.

[A]

What time you there at?

[B]

I like to get there really early. I'm always just like this door is gonna be impossible in about two hours. Like I picked up Natalie and her girlfriends at around like 11. I was like, can. And they're like obviously like Natalie's friends are all really hot so they can stroll in at like 3am But I'm just like, listen, I don't want to risk anything at the door so can we just be there first?

[C]

All us girls were in the backseat and David and Zane were in the front seat driving, picking us up obviously. And he was complaining about wanting to go now. And my friends were like, why would we go now? Nobody's there. And then David and Zane realized that they were begging so hard to go.

[B]

Now if we were like the ugly guys that are worried about getting in the party, we need to get there first. So like it's.

[A]

Yeah, but you show up with them, you're gonna get in.

[C]

He also would get in just fine. Like he just like panics for no reason.

[B]

Not that I don't like the. It's not not getting in. I don't like when there's a crowd outside the door and you're going to the security. Hey.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I fucking hate. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

You skip a bunch of people.

[B]

You skip a bunch of people.

[A]

You don't want that.

[B]

Yeah, not only skipping a bunch of people, it's LA. So we know 80% of the people in line. Yeah. So it's like David, yo, pull me in. Yeah. And then I'm like, I look at him and I'm like, okay, let me see what I can do. And then I'm like pretending I'm seeing what I can do. Cause I can't actually do anything. So I'm just standing by the door for like paying my respects to this person that can't get into the party for like 10 minutes. Just like, being like, I'm here with you, brother, for 10 minutes.

[C]

From the other side of the fence.

[B]

From the other side of the fence. So, like, I hate that. I'd rather, like, get to the party an hour early, not deal with anything, and wait for people to show up. Then, like, so what happened?

[A]

What time did you go?

[C]

We. We got there at, like, 11:40.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So on the earlier side.

[C]

On the earlier side, yeah.

[A]

And were you the only ones in there?

[C]

No, actually, it was probably the perfect time to arrive.

[B]

No, it was, like, literally the perfect time. Hell, yeah. No.

[C]

And we only there for, like, two hours.

[B]

We went to get drinks before at the Edition.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[B]

And I had no idea about my license plate the entire time as I was driving to West Hollywood. And from had eat my ass. So if you saw my last vlog, I got this, like, funny gadget on my car that if you hit it, it covers your license plate. And you could put anything that's written over your license plate so it covers it. So you can, like, illegally go through, like, toll roads and stuff like that so they can't take a picture of your plate. It's super illegal. I would totally go to jail. And I had no idea. But it was down the entire time. So my entire plate had eat my ass on it.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

And we were pulled over in West Hollywood, waiting for them to leave the hotel. Natalie and her friends. And so many people were pulling up to me, like, David. And I was like, what's going on? Like, I'm like, people are really, like, saying hello to me today. Like, I don't know why I'm so recognizable. What's going on? And I realized that my plate was. Had said eat my ass the entire time. I was really like, you could have.

[A]

Got pulled over Miss Hollywood, too.

[B]

That's, like, crime 100%. And then it would have been kind of a difficult thing to explain. Not only that, but the plate under eat my ass, like, the real plate.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Didn't actually match my car. It was my mom's Volkswagen because I didn't want it to be tied back to my car, so I used a fake license.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

So I would have gotten caught on multiple things.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

So thank God I avoided that. But, yeah, it was a good night. Went to the Edition. We saw this girl there who's, like, a really talented singer. I didn't know it was her. We thought it was her. No. Lola Tongue Young.

[A]

Oh, oh, oh.

[B]

Who's Tongue? Oh, that's from the show.

[C]

Yeah, that's That's. You said that in person, too. And I was like, oh, Lola tongue is here. And she wasn't. And I was so confused. I just, like, let it go because Young.

[A]

Yeah. The girl that was on the Grammys, that was so incredible.

[C]

Wait, what? Lola Young was there? Where?

[B]

That's what I said. Well, she walked by. I was like, that looks like that girl from the Grammys. And then we walked back. I was like, oh, wait, it was the girl from the Grammys.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

She was great. She crushed it.

[A]

She's saying at the Grammys. No, she sang at the party.

[C]

No, no, no.

[B]

She was in a party.

[A]

She was on different pages.

[B]

She was just at the hotel. She was. She was at Valet singing. Oh, she's like, I'm too messy. Whoa. Oh, my God. It is you. No. Yeah. She's incredible. I think she's going to be, like, no pressure to her. I think she's going to be, like, crazy big.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because, like, the song's really, really, really incredible. But then watching her perform at the Grammys was, like, fucking next level.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

She gave, like, the most, like, like, memorable performance. Yeah, yeah. Like, it was, like, coming from her, it was fucking sick. So. Yeah.

[C]

Did you end up doing anything for Valentine's Day, Jay?

[A]

We went out Friday night, which was, you know, like, not the best, but was. I didn't want to go out on Saturday.

[B]

Oh, was it. Oh, was it really busy?

[A]

No, Friday was great. Friday was.

[B]

Saturday was Valentine's Day.

[A]

We saw the movie on Saturday, but Friday we went out and we went to this club that has, like, erotic dancers and.

[C]

Is this a strip club?

[A]

No, no, they just have, like, dancers that come out.

[B]

Like burlesque?

[A]

Yeah, like burlesque. But it's, like, so awkward. Oh, do you find that awkward?

[B]

I just don't know where to look. I'm always like, you don't know where to look?

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

You try to look at their heads.

[A]

Yeah. So we get there and we sit down and they sat us, like, away. Away from, like, where the fun area was. There's like a non fun area and then the fun area.

[B]

So you were pissed.

[A]

So I said, I go, is there any way we can sit in the fun area? And the woman was like, the pervert section. Yeah, yeah, basically. But I wasn't really asking that. And then she was like, yeah, I need the table back in an hour and a half. I was like, oh, yeah, no problem. We go home early. Great. So she sits us right in the. Right in front of the stage, which is great. And we're having. And then I'm like, having chicken parm. And then all of a sudden, like, two naked girls come out.

[B]

That would ruin my meal.

[C]

Are they naked?

[A]

Naked? I mean, they're at least.

[C]

They're like nipple tassel naked.

[A]

Yeah, they're not naked, but it's something.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

And literally, the girl almost kicked me in the face when she went up on the ring. Like. And just like, I'm looking at Naveen and you just don't know what to.

[B]

You like this or you didn't like it? I mean, I don't like pretty girls around when I'm eating.

[A]

Oh, interesting.

[B]

It just like, ruins my meal. It didn't do that to you?

[A]

No, no. I woofed down the chicken parm. I mean, it was great.

[B]

It made you hungrier. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about that. Especially, like, naked people over my meal would be, like, kind of really scary.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

It's like, really hard for me to mix.

[C]

I like, like, a show happening. I don't like if they're like, walking around like, on top of you while you're eating, but I like a show happening on a stage.

[B]

I wish there was a show that can guarantee no crowd work.

[A]

I'd love to go stand up.

[B]

Yeah, like, stand up. Or like, even like, Blue Man Group. I use, like, it only went a couple times, but I was like, fuck, I hope they don't pull me up. Oh, like, come and, like, play with my cheeks or something. Like, I've just never always been scared of crowd. Like, I want to go to a show and just be watching the show. I know that's like Broadway or anything. Yeah. But, like, I wish, like, comedians didn't do craft.

[A]

Maybe you need to face that fear and go sit in the front row at the improv.

[B]

You think?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

We should. We should go to more comedy shows.

[A]

Sure.

[C]

Like, I just feel like it'd be good.

[B]

I just, like, don't really.

[A]

I don't love stand up. Why? I don't know why. It's like, most of it I don't like.

[B]

There's only like, a few people doing it. Fucking 40 years.

[A]

But I don't know. Do you watch an entire special?

[B]

No, no, no, no. But the one time I went to stand up show and I saw, like, Joe Rogan and, like, five other big comedians go up, I was blown away.

[A]

It was good.

[B]

Yeah. It was the first time I ever went to stand up show here and I couldn't believe It Really? Yeah, yeah. And Joe Rogan was fucking hilarious.

[A]

He was hilarious.

[B]

I was like, this is. I didn't even know Joe. Organized. I was like, isn't this the Fear Factor guy?

[A]

Right?

[B]

He was, like, funny. I was, like, so confused.

[A]

There's certain people I can watch, like, the whole show, but then most of.

[B]

Them, like, I just think, like, in person, to see, like, a celebrity, like, you're already kind of on their side for the first five minutes because you're like, this is cool. I've seen this person in real life. I don't know.

[A]

Hey, you guys gotta go see this movie I saw Saturday night.

[C]

Ooh, which one?

[A]

I'm so curious to see if you like it.

[B]

What is it?

[A]

It's the best movie I've seen in, like, 20 years. Best comedy. Nirvana, the Band. Nirvana, the Band, the Show, the movie. Nirvana, the show, the Band, the Movie.

[B]

That's the title of the movie?

[A]

It's the title of the movie, yeah.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

It has nothing to do with Nirvana. It's just two guys. They're in a time travel movie, and it's so incredible.

[B]

Wait, wait, they're in it? The movie's about a two guys in a time travel movie or the movie.

[A]

It's two guys that are time traveling.

[B]

Oh. What?

[A]

It's un. David.

[B]

Oh, I'm gonna love that.

[A]

I don't know if you'll love it because it is shot documentary style. So what's so cool about it is.

[B]

Like, oh, it's a good idea.

[A]

It's a documentary, but you don't know what's scripted and what's not. And it also has incredible cgi and.

[B]

Are they going back to see Nirvana?

[A]

No, it has nothing to do with Nirvana. They just. They have a TV show called Nirvana the Show, the Band, the Show.

[B]

Oh, my God, I'm so confused. Is it meta. Like, is it. Is it on? The guys in the movie have a show.

[A]

They had a show on Viceland.

[B]

Why are you saying they had a show?

[A]

Because it got canceled.

[B]

But the characters. Is this scripted or non. Scripted?

[A]

It's scripted, but some of the. Some of it is unscripted. It's so hard to explain. Like, don't get mad at me. You have to see it. Like, it's like, let me try.

[B]

So it's a scripted. Okay, go.

[A]

It's a scripted movie. Yeah, but then they also interact with real people.

[B]

Like Borat.

[A]

Like Borat.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And. But there's also, like, incredible cgi. So it's like.

[B]

Like Avengers.

[A]

Like Avengers. Yeah.

[B]

So it's Borat meets Avengers.

[A]

And cgi.

[B]

Done in a way, not cgi, but doesn't mean Nirvana. Yeah, they never even meet Nirvana.

[A]

They never meet Nirvana. They never mention Nirvana.

[B]

Okay. They go back in time to what?

[A]

To see themselves. Like, I don't want to give too much away either, but it's. It. You gotta. I almost want to go see it with you. And if you don't like it, if you're not into it, like, the first 50 minutes, we can just walk out.

[B]

I'm sure I'd like it.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I'm down. I'll go see today.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And we could cut. How about this? We'll go see it tonight and we'll cut it into the podcast in 10 seconds.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

That'll be my review.

[A]

Nine.

[B]

Well, okay. Next thing you hear is me after the movie. Now. Okay. Jason, I watched your movie.

[A]

You didn't call me.

[B]

What do you mean?

[A]

I thought I was gonna go with you. Oh, I texted you. I said, how was the Dentist? You didn't answer. And then I got a late text from that. We saw the movie. It's weird. I was. I went to all the theaters, but I didn't see you. I must have not picked the right theater.

[B]

I thought it wouldn't have made sense if you were there, because then we couldn't have recapped. We would have recapped.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, right?

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Go, go, go. I can't wait to hear.

[B]

Obviously. Very hurt. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense, I guess.

[A]

I. And I was like, dave wants to go to the movies tonight.

[B]

Oh, my bad.

[A]

She was like. She was like, oh, my God, that's so sweet.

[B]

You're gonna go.

[A]

And you love that movie so much. And David said he go see it with you like a kid. And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we're gonna go later. He's going to the dentist, though, so I don't know if he's gonna be. He might not feel like it, so it might not happen. So then I. I just figured you. You could go because you were down from the dent.

[B]

Yeah, let's go with that.

[A]

Great.

[B]

No recap, because I haven't seen it.

[A]

You didn't go.

[B]

No, I'm kidding. Yeah.

[A]

No, I want to hear. I want to hear.

[B]

Well, also, it wasn't in our.

[A]

Can't wait to hear this. Because we have such different taste in movies. And I'll say it again, it was the best movie I've seen. I know.

[B]

And in 20 years, you said best comedy.

[A]

Yeah. Like, groundbreaking comedy for sure. Wow. Go ahead.

[B]

Yeah, I thought. I mean, we walked out and we were all in agreement. We're like, yeah, Jason Nash, funny.

[A]

Who'd you go with?

[B]

No, no, no, that's not what we said exactly.

[A]

But who'd you go with?

[B]

Nat, me, Natalie, John, Julia Taylor.

[A]

Okay, great. Good group.

[B]

And. Well, let me also say we also watched it in a theater that wasn't ours regularly.

[A]

Which one did you go to?

[B]

We went to. It was like more of like, a.

[C]

Small, like, indie theater.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Landmark.

[B]

I don't know, like one of those theaters that's like.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Wait, they have popcorn?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Well, like, they have IPAs. Maybe with your.

[A]

Yes, yes.

[B]

Yeah. It's very, like, small, niche, five screens, whatever.

[A]

I like that theater.

[B]

So, yeah, so that added, I think, to the vibe of the movie.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Like, it was like, we're at amc. Here's my blue ic, here's my big, large powder.

[A]

That's not my fault, brother. You could have gone to AMC and seen.

[B]

Yes. Okay.

[A]

It was playing there. Oh, still, I guess the movie's cooking. There's no seats.

[B]

Well, at 10:30, they're all available. No, no, no. I thought it was really good.

[A]

You did?

[B]

Yeah, I thought it was really good.

[C]

Yeah, it was interesting. Like, it was definitely, like, very different.

[B]

Than any other comedy. I was trying to think. I was like, I wonder, like, what would I say if Jason made that movie and he brought it to me?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I think I'd be like, that's right. On the money. Yeah, I'd be like, that's right on the money. What I would expect a funny Jason movie to be like.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So I don't know if that's a compliment to you, if you think that's the greatest movie of all time, but, like.

[A]

Okay, so. But, like, in terms of the way it's done.

[B]

Yeah. So for the people that have no fucking idea what we're talking about, which I feel like is a lot of people, because this movie's kind of, like, under the radar.

[A]

Under the radar. I told people I saw it, and they're like, you saw a movie about Nirvana? I'm like, no, no, no, no, no.

[B]

Yeah. Okay. So that. Okay, so the movie's called Nirvana. The Band, the Show. The movie.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And my. My biggest problem with it after the movie was the same thing I had before the movie. It has nothing to do with the band Nirvana. And Jason was explaining that to me when you heard on the pod. But, like, literally has nothing to do with the band Nirvana. Like, I thought, like, that's the. That's the joke. Yeah, but it's not even the joke that they're named after the band Nirvana.

[A]

They don't even mention.

[B]

They don't mention that. I don't know if that's like some like really, like real meta joke that I'm not understanding or there's some significant meaning behind it.

[A]

Right.

[B]

But like, that was throwing me off a lot because I was like always expecting there to be like some sort of reference to the fact that they're all, it's a time travel movie and their band is Nirvana. So I assumed where somehow we're going to find out that at one point the band Nirvana didn't exist yet.

[A]

Oh, that would throw me to.

[B]

Or something.

[A]

If you thought that, that sucks.

[B]

So the entire movie I was just.

[A]

Like, where's Kurt Cobain?

[B]

Yeah, I was like, why are they calling this Nirvana?

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

Yeah. Which one's Kurt? And when is this end? Like, I was very confused if it was. If the movie was called 2008. Yeah. Or anything else.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'd be so. I'd be so much more into it. That just really threw me for a loose point. But it was. Yeah, it was like. It was a really, really, really good, low budget movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm glad I saw it.

[A]

You are? Yeah. I felt like too, when I saw it. I was like, oh, Dave just has to see it. Even if he doesn't like it. It's good to see like, what's out there and what people are doing.

[B]

Yeah, I thought it was fun. I like time travel movies. It wasn't the best comedy in 20 years. I think you're being like a little.

[A]

Like, okay, well, tell me recency bias. Tell me, tell me a good comedy in the last 10 years better than.

[B]

Okay, well, you just changed. You just changed it from a decade.

[A]

So that's like, not fair in terms of like, groundbreaking. I think it is. Yeah.

[B]

Groundbreaking.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, because it's like a low budget. I don't know.

[A]

Because they. Because it's like, it's like part Borat, part time travel, part buddy movie, part mockumentary, part. It's just incorporates all these things in a way where you're like. I mean, when they're up on the tower, are you like. You don't know if that's real or fake? You're like, whoa, yeah, that's amazing.

[B]

They have done a good job. It reminded me a lot of like, I think Chronicle.

[A]

What's that?

[B]

Or even Project Almanac. It's Chronicle. I Think is a superhero movie or like some sort of movie.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yes, a superhero movie where they're all. They're recording it on a camera.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And like, they all get superpowers.

[A]

Yes, yes.

[B]

So, like, everything is kind of like, whoa. This is recorded on, like, a vhs, but they also have, like.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Superpowers. So I thought that was interesting. Same with Project Almanac.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

They discover time travel in that.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And they record it all on a. On. Okay. Actually, it's very similar to Project Almanac. It is not entirely because of the band concept, but, yes, they are recording on a camera.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

And it's a time travel movie.

[A]

And you must have loved that it was a time travel movie. At least I did. Yeah.

[B]

I've been asking. I've been talking a lot of people. Like, not a lot. I don't know what I'm saying like that. But, like, over time, I'll ask people what their favorite movie is. Like, if I meet somebody or whatever. And a lot of people will say interstellar.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, like, my first instinct will be to laugh.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Because it's so mainstream.

[A]

Huh.

[B]

So, like, I think that people are fucking with me when they say that. Do you understand?

[A]

Isn't that what most people say, though, when you say, what's my favorite movie? It is a mainstream movie usually, but, like, Interstellar.

[B]

Like, Interstellar. Is Interstellar great in my top two.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So, like, it's also my favorite movie.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But, like, I've accepted that I'm like a fucking loser when it comes to, like, I will like them, you know. Yeah. I'm gonna like Katy Perry's Firework over Kurt Cobain's. You know, some. Like, I'm going to like the more basic things. So I've accepted that. But when other people say it, I always say people are fucking with me. But I guess Christopher Nolan is that good.

[A]

He's that good.

[B]

That it's like, so. Because Interstellar is so, like, when you watch it, it's basic. Do you know what I mean?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Anybody can. Anybody can digest it. Not basic, but it's just. It's made for, like, the everyday viewer. Do you know what I mean? It's not like this movie I just watched where, like, you kind of have to be like. You have to prepare yourself for what it is. Interstellar is just like. You come in blind. You're like, big screen, big. Sounds cool. Sounds cool. Visuals, it's very easy to digest. Like, when people say. I get really confused, but, yeah, I guess. I don't know. I Guess Interstellar is actually as good of a movie as I think it is.

[A]

He said, yes, yes, yes, it is. And it has that whole part where it's like.

[B]

But do you know I'm saying, like, if someone says Shawshank Redemption.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm like, I get it because it's like, older, but like, Interstellar. Interstellar is like, fairly new. So when, like, I was talking to, like, a person who was a film major and so I was like, I'm going to get something crazy. Like, they're going to tell me something crazy. Yeah. Like, I'm just, I'm already getting ready to be like, I have no idea what that is. They said Interstellar. I don't know why this, like, bothers me so much, but I was like, this is crazy. Christopher Nolan really is amazing that this film major that should be so snooty about it. Loves the mainstream guy. It's like asking. Sorry, I'm sorry. It's like asking, like, I don't know who, like, like asking, like, the most hipster person, you know, who your favorite YouTuber is, and they go, Mr. Beast, you know? Right. I don't know. It's like, really the biggest and the best. Yeah, you like the best guy too.

[A]

But isn't it harder to make, like, a movie for the masses? In other words, you saw that movie last night and I get it, it wasn't like, totally your jam. But I think it's much harder to make something, a movie for the masses that everybody likes.

[B]

But I also think, like, that's like what happens when you make a movie for the masses. Is that, like, is that, is that a bigger portion of the group wants to turn on it? Oh, I think that's how it usually is. Like, you know, like with Wolf of Wall Street. Like Wolf of Wall Street.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Doesn't survive the same test that Interstellar.

[A]

Does when you look back at it.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. Like, it's great, but, like, when it's mentioned in conversation, it's scoffed at more than Interstellar is because Wolf. Wall street is like, because of what it's about. I think it's like, it's like tied to like a fraternity style movie. Yeah. So like, when, like people, when people, like, say that's their favorite movie. Yeah, I've, I've seen it in conversations where people will kind of laugh and giggle, like, oh, you must have not seen a lot of movies. But, like, that didn't happen with Interstellar. And I thought they were all under the same umbrella of like, greatest all time movies, but you don't say them in conversation.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

The Interstellar is still like pretty high brow or it feels like sophisticated and intellectual of you to be like.

[B]

Yeah, but that's just like kudos to fucking Christopher. I don't know, I'm just blown away by this guy. Day after day, I'm like more and more impressed.

[A]

You see the trailer for the Odyssey.

[B]

Before I saw the. Right before Interstellar they played like 10 seconds of. Or sorry, like five minutes of it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Did you see that?

[A]

Yeah. When I went to your.

[B]

What did I just say?

[A]

You said Interstellar. But when I went.

[B]

Avatar.

[A]

Yeah. When I went to the Nirvana movie, they showed the. The Odyssey trailer.

[B]

The five minutes of it.

[A]

It was pretty long. I don't know if it's five minutes.

[B]

But where they're storming the city.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah, that's probably the. Yeah. Yeah. Before Avatar they were showing like five minutes of the actual film. Oh, really sick.

[A]

No, this was a trailer. Did you get popcorn?

[B]

No, I didn't get popcorn. Luckily next to theater was a Chipotle, so we all just snuck at Chipotle. Yeah, it was really nice. But yeah. I don't know. Odyssey. My only gripe with Christopher Nolan.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is just that movies sometimes are too dark and sometimes they're too loud.

[A]

Dark visually or dark content wise?

[B]

Dark visually.

[A]

Like Odyssey.

[B]

Like he makes them so dark. Where it looks like you're actually looking out your window. Like, he makes him so realistic.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Where it looks like you're like looking at your window and it's like a night scene.

[A]

I had trouble during. Tenant.

[B]

Tenant, you can't. Tenant, you can't hear.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Tenant. And then what's that? The new one. The new one. The one with the nuke. Oppenheimer.

[A]

Oppenheimer. Yeah.

[B]

You can't hear. You need subtitles for that movie.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Isn't that funny? When we go to movies now, you're expecting a subtitle because you watch Netflix so much, right. With subtitles. Or maybe it's just me, but I.

[C]

Don'T watch subtitles ever.

[A]

You don't? I always watch your subtitles.

[C]

No. Yeah. I never do.

[B]

How can you not watch movies Subtitles?

[C]

I just lock in on their mouths and what they're saying.

[B]

Really?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'll even the other day I was watching a movie and my subtitles got up and I couldn't fix it. I tried to reset my TV and everything, but they were ahead by two scenes. The subtitles were.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I still couldn't take off the subtitles, even though they weren't matching up at all with what it was being said, I just like kept them on just cuz like they were like comfort. It was like. It's like a little blanket that's like, tucks the movie in underneath. I don't know, I just feel like you need it.

[C]

I just feel like it ruins it sometimes.

[B]

Well, I get it. I get it because you're not even like really looking at the actors.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But I think like, just like when you're watching something on Tick Tock and there's like those subtitles that make everything just like.

[C]

Well, that's.

[B]

If you really can't understand it, it's just like stimulating. I'm saying, like, it's just like you're reading it and you're kind of watching it.

[C]

Right.

[A]

I saw a really funny. I saw a really interesting story just now on Instagram. It was so interesting. It was like they did these tests on mice, like a long time ago. They made like a mice utopia. They started with four male and four female. And then the. The mice bred, obviously, and they had all the food they needed.

[B]

And bread is such a nice word for fucked. Because what they did was they all got horny and they had.

[A]

Yeah, if I said just said fucked, that would be like. Jay.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[A]

I don't like when someone says, I pissed. I hate I went and peed.

[B]

Oh, I hate. I hate when. I hate when guys are around girls.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they're like, I'm gonna go take a piss.

[A]

Yeah. I don't like that.

[B]

I think that's.

[A]

Or if a girl says, I'm gonna.

[B]

Go take a piss, you're like, well, that is crazy.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Also, like, it's weird that everyone pees, isn't it?

[A]

Yeah, totally.

[B]

Like, like sometimes I'll be like, I.

[A]

Think there's something worse that we do.

[B]

But no, I don't even want to say that. But sometimes, like, I'll be at a bar, like, it'll be like guys and girls. And I like, I don't want people to know that, like, I have to go, like, put. Pull my penis out of my pants and point out a hole in the ground. Do you know what I mean?

[C]

I mean, yeah.

[B]

Like, I found it so weird.

[A]

So you don't tell anyone when you go pee?

[B]

I do, but I'm just like, I gotta go pee.

[A]

Is that what you say?

[B]

I gotta use the restroom.

[A]

I gotta use the restroom. Yeah, Anyway, sorry.

[B]

Anyways, back to your fucking mice.

[A]

Anyways, these mice, they're In a mice utopia.

[B]

Sounds like it. Four guys, four girls, and they start breeding. Okay.

[A]

You know, and it's like this awesome utopia, but eventually the mice all die out. Because the guy was saying, it's like, there was, like, social. There was, like, so much. It was, like, too much stimulation, like, too perfect. So he was comparing it to what we do with, like, the Internet now, where it's like, people are. And what happened was, like, the male mice would just drop out, and they became very vain, and they stopped caring about the women entirely. And the same thing for the female mice, too. And so he was comparing it to, like, the Internet now. So, like, when you're on Instagram and stuff, and you see, like, oh, this person's doing this, this person's doing that, and it makes everybody just kind of.

[B]

Like, too much stimulation.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, because they're. Oh, okay. So there's more to this. Everything. This. Everything a mouse would ever need was in this colony.

[A]

Yeah. Like, same for us for the Internet. We have everything we need.

[B]

Yeah, but I'm saying they had, like, cheese balls, wheels. They had everything.

[A]

Yes. Huh?

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Little laser pointers to chase, like, work for anything.

[C]

It was all provided.

[B]

Okay, sorry. And then what is that? What does that mean to humans?

[A]

He's drawing the comparison to us right now, the time we're living in with the Internet and. And seeing what everyone's doing on Instagram and feeling like, you're not good enough. And the other day when, you know, that woman was into your friend and not you.

[B]

What? When did that happen? Oh, the celebrity crush thing.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

I was trying to bring it. I was trying to bring it to a place where you could understand it.

[B]

No, no, no. I was understanding. I just want. I just find it also confusing that, like, mice have that much similarities with humans.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. It is funny. Yeah. They. They go and test on mice, and you're like, well, we're not mice.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I can't imagine that it has, like, that many layers of emotions, but.

[A]

Imagine if, like, we didn't have the Internet now. Like, I mean, don't you feel like a little. I do feel like I don't have, like, the bonds that I had earlier in life a little bit, and then maybe that's just my age, but, yeah.

[C]

I feel like that has a lot to do with age.

[B]

I don't know. I think it's just time.

[A]

You feel pretty good with the Internet and your, like, my connection with you. Your real life. Yeah. You feel like a good balance between Your Internet life.

[B]

I mean, my life's changed so much from when I was, like, younger that it's, like, kind of impossible to. Right. Like, I was outside all the time. All the time I was outside.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And then when I was inside, I was playing COD with my friends, like, online, so I was, like, always connected.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And my own little version of social media. But, yeah, it was very different than, like, now I live with those people, so I still see them all the time.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I'm on my phone.

[A]

Yeah. That is nice. You do have so many people coming through here, too. It's so nice.

[B]

Yeah. But I think it, like, fucks me up.

[A]

How so?

[B]

Because I don't leave the house.

[A]

Where would you go? Right. Yeah, you don't leave the house.

[B]

I met somebody the other day, like, a girl, and she was like, we should go do, like, something cute, like, go on a hike. And I was just like. I just. I was just like. I was like, listen.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

I just told her. I was like. I was like, I'm so sorry, but, like, I just, like, don't think I'll ever be able to do that.

[A]

Really.

[B]

I just. I couldn't even, like, waste my time because normally I'd be like, yeah, let's do something next week. I was like, why am I gonna fucking lie? I'll just be like, probably not, but.

[A]

You used to go out all the time when you were a kid. Why wouldn't you want to rekindle that within yourself? Even if this. Whatever this person is.

[B]

I just, like, get fomo, leaving the house. There is a lot going on here. Like, why would I want to leave? Also, I'm just really comfortable here. Finding parking in LA isn't necessarily, like, in Vernon Hills. If it's like, hey, I'm gonna go to Portillo's. You're parking. Going lifetime parking, tennis club, parking, everything. And that's, like, such a big part of it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, I don't want to. I don't like valeting. I don't like. Like, I don't like parking my car on the street and, like, making sure my rim doesn't scratch.

[A]

The Uber.

[B]

I hate not driving. So I think, oh, that actually, you know, that actually may be a big reason why I don't go out. I've never even really thought of that. I think it's just, like. I think it's, like, the convenience of it. Because, like, the place I will go out a lot is there's this indoor pickleball place, and it's like, at A warehouse. So the parking's pretty okay. Yeah. And like that, I have no problem with going to. Even though it's 15 minutes away. But I think parking has a lot to do with it. I'm not sure. Hey, listen, let me. Let me wrap this up by apologizing by not inviting you to the movie.

[A]

That's okay. I was tired.

[B]

You don't have to tell yourself that. I know. You were waiting and you had.

[A]

No. There was a point where I was.

[B]

Like, did you go buy snacks to sneak him into the theater already? Are you that ready? Naveen went to bed early. Give you a kiss goodnight.

[A]

Jay went to CVS to get cheaper snacks.

[B]

Jay, I know you have a big night ahead of you. I'm gonna go to bed now. Okay. You just wait for Dave and it's gonna be a great time.

[A]

Staring at my phone, just waiting. Is that. No, no, it's just an email.

[B]

Fuck it. I'm just gonna drive there. I'll meet him there early. No, I don't know. I thought about it, but it was genuinely because one, we didn't know if we were gonna go. Yeah. And two wasn't the good theater. So I was like, I'm just knocking this out for the podcast. Yeah. Like, it did feel like you stay the whole time. Yeah.

[A]

You did.

[B]

Yeah. But I don't think any of us, like really wanted to go. But like, Natalie was like, okay, I see the vision with like going for the pod. So, like, that's why we went. But next time, movie night with Che.

[A]

Why didn't you leave?

[C]

No, no, no.

[B]

The movie. Like the movie. Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

But it was just like getting there was like it gets raining and cold.

[C]

All of us kind of wanted to go to bed.

[A]

But like, I gave you a task.

[C]

No, it is good.

[B]

No, you fucked us. I turned it on you. All right, guys, that's all the time we have. See you guys later. For the next Views podcast, go watch Thursday's Daily Pods.

[A]
