Speaker 1 (00:02): Actually, well, were you going to say something? Speaker 2 (00:07): Agenda for me, number one, promote the show. Speaker 1 (00:11): Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Speaker 2 (00:13): No, I want to get to that. Audience goes where we tell them to go. We want to send them to you. Speaker 3 (00:18): We got to point the eyeballs at the screen when your show is on. Speaker 1 (00:23): You send them back when you're done. Yeah, no, we're going to need those back. So we can point her to the next thing. Speaker 3 (00:28): I mean, you know, and I always want the guest to feel special, but you're not the only guest we have this week. And so they may be promoting something. We do got to point them. It can't only be your thing. Speaker 1 (00:39): So I just, we like to be upfront. Like it's not going to only be you. Speaker 3 (00:43): We're actually going to do, we're actually going to do another show every week. Speaker 2 (00:48): We do another show. Yeah. Right after this. Speaker 4 (00:50): I'm out of here. Speaker 2 (00:50): Oh, that it's got to be exclusive. It's exclusivity. While we're in it, the feeling is. Is one of, it's only us in the entire world. You know what I mean? Speaker 1 (01:01): First thing we do is say, it's not only us. After that, it really frees us up to pretend that it is. Because we're all going into it eyes open. Speaker 4 (01:11): When does that feeling start? Speaker 1 (01:11): It's like polyamory. Speaker 2 (01:16): Really soon. Really soon, I think. Let me see. Speaker 1 (01:20): You know when it starts, Kevin? When you let it. When you let it. Speaker 4 (01:24): When you let us in. Speaker 2 (01:25): When you decide. Not you. Not you. Not you. Go away. Sorry. All right. Speaker 4 (01:32): I'm almost ready. Speaker 2 (01:33): His name's Kevin, too. Yeah. Okay. Speaker 1 (01:36): Because when you let us in, we're going to get in there. We're going to get right in there. And we're going to talk about the show. So, Stuart fails to save the universe. Speaker 2 (01:49): Is this the same show as before? Speaker 3 (01:51): Mm-hmm. Speaker 4 (01:54): You mean Big Bang Theory? Because it's a spinoff. Speaker 1 (01:56): Is it the same one? Speaker 2 (01:57): It is the same. Speaker 1 (01:58): It's the same one? Speaker 4 (01:58): It's not exactly the same. It's quite different, actually. Speaker 1 (02:03): Okay. Speaker 4 (02:03): It's not shot in front of a live studio audience. Speaker 1 (02:08): People really liked the other one. Speaker 2 (02:09): That's exactly what I was going to say. Speaker 1 (02:11): People seem to love that one. Speaker 2 (02:12): People really like that show. Just in the interest of driving people to it and then letting them kind of decide once they get there, maybe saying... It is like the other show where it is the same show. Speaker 4 (02:25): It's so much like the other show. Speaker 2 (02:27): Oh, yeah. That's awesome. Speaker 4 (02:30): You'll get which show you're actually watching. Speaker 1 (02:32): Yeah, it's like, I'm watching this one, I'm watching that one. It doesn't matter. They're all funny. They're all fun. We're having a good time. I love hearing that. Speaker 2 (02:40): So you're Stuart. Speaker 1 (02:42): Wait a minute. Speaker 2 (02:45): Wait. Speaker 4 (02:46): Have you ever watched the original show? Speaker 2 (02:48): Oh, my God. Speaker 1 (02:49): Are you crazy asking me that? Speaker 2 (02:53): Okay. Speaker 4 (02:54): Come on. Has anyone. Speaker 2 (02:56): Are you nuts? Okay. Speaker 3 (02:58): Yeah. Speaker 1 (02:58): I think I've seen it. Speaker 2 (02:59): I literally just said it has a live studio audience. So, yeah, I think I've seen it. Speaker 4 (03:04): I think that was me. Speaker 1 (03:06): Okay. Speaker 2 (03:08): Well... It's fine. I was literally just hearing about it, though. Okay. Speaker 1 (03:14): I just listened to that. And by the way, when you. Speaker 3 (03:18): I guess it was you that said it had a live studio audience. Eyebrows didn't move up an inch. No surprise registered on my face. Speaker 1 (03:26): I knew that. This is my face. Speaker 3 (03:28): I knew that. Speaker 2 (03:29): Shoes and socks still on. Speaker 1 (03:31): Yeah. Got knocked off. Speaker 3 (03:33): So I was completely comfortable with that idea and actually familiar with it already. Speaker 1 (03:39): Multiple cameras. Speaker 2 (03:42): Yes. Speaker 4 (03:42): Yeah. Speaker 2 (03:43): And Stuart's in it. Speaker 1 (03:45): Stuart was there. Speaker 2 (03:45): Yes. Okay, you guys have done your research. And he saves the universe, or attempts to. Speaker 1 (03:49): But this is what I want to get to. Stuart fails to save the universe. Speaker 2 (03:54): It's just us here. Speaker 1 (03:55): You can level with us. Speaker 2 (03:57): He saves it, right? You know, I... He saves it, right? Speaker 4 (04:01): You'll have to tune in. Speaker 2 (04:02): Take us through it. Open on. Speaker 4 (04:05): The universe. Well, Stuart fails to save the universe. Zoom in. A spinoff of the Big Bang Theory. Speaker 2 (04:13): Hmm. Speaker 4 (04:14): It happens after the events of the Big Bang Theory. There's a multiverse apocalypse. Really? Speaker 2 (04:22): That's not, that's all that gets? Speaker 4 (04:24): Multiverse apocalypse? Speaker 2 (04:25): It's going to take a lot more. We weren't surprised by the multiple cameras. There was multiple cameras, now there's a multiple verse. Speaker 4 (04:32): Sounds like some of the songs I write. Speaker 1 (04:36): Sounds like some of the songs I write. They're multiverse as well. Speaker 4 (04:42): One chorus, yeah. Speaker 2 (04:44): Two verses. Speaker 4 (04:45): It's a different kind of verse. Speaker 3 (04:48): I like that you said it takes place after the Big Bang Theory, which really everything does, doesn't it? Speaker 4 (04:53): Yeah, if you think about it, everything currently taking place. Speaker 2 (04:58): Open on the universe. Zoom in on a heaving set. Crash zoom. Speaker 1 (05:08): Fastest zoom known to man. On a heaving set. On a heaving set. Speaker 4 (05:13): A heaving set? Speaker 2 (05:14): Mm-hmm. Of canockers. Speaker 1 (05:16): Oh, I see. Speaker 2 (05:19): Because this is on HBO, right? Speaker 4 (05:21): It's like porno? No, it's not. Speaker 1 (05:24): Oh, you're allowed to have it. Speaker 2 (05:25): Strictly soft. Soft porn. Okay. Speaker 4 (05:27): Soft as porn. Speaker 2 (05:28): Perfect. Speaker 4 (05:30): Perfect. Speaker 2 (05:30): A heaving set. Speaker 1 (05:32): Hey! Speaker 2 (05:33): Hey, that's a different show. That's you, right? Yeah. Hey, over here. Speaker 1 (05:38): Excuse me. Point the camera over here. Speaker 2 (05:41): Stuart here. Speaker 1 (05:42): You know what I mean? Speaker 2 (05:43): Stuart. Speaker 1 (05:43): You're telling the camera, man. Speaker 4 (05:46): Oh, Stuart. Speaker 2 (05:47): Who's that? Speaker 4 (05:49): That's me. I just. Speaker 2 (05:50): You say. You say it right now. Oh, Dave? Okay. Speaker 1 (05:54): I did think I had seen. Speaker 3 (05:55): The original show, but now I'm forgetting that Stuart's catchphrase was his own name. Speaker 1 (05:59): And it's been a little while since I. I refresh. Speaker 2 (06:03): It's Stewart. Wow. Speaker 4 (06:06): Don't you remember that? Speaker 2 (06:06): Okay. Speaker 1 (06:07): That was my catchphrase. Speaker 2 (06:09): Okay. Speaker 1 (06:09): Stewart, Sheldon, Penny. Speaker 4 (06:13): And they went, yes. Speaker 2 (06:14): No, okay. He can hit Penny. Yes. Yes, he can hit Penny. And multiverse. And so. Speaker 3 (06:21): Yeah. Speaker 2 (06:22): You get passed over for young Sheldon. They say. Here, we'll throw, you know, here's a show for you. We'll throw you one. Because you were pissed off. You'd been studying Sheldon all those years. You were bugging out. To play the young version of him. Speaker 4 (06:38): Yes. Speaker 2 (06:39): And they said. Speaker 4 (06:39): I sent in my self tape. I don't think they watched it. Speaker 2 (06:43): You don't even think they watched it. You can't tell. After all you did for the show. Speaker 1 (06:49): When I send my self tapes now, I say, keep your red receipts on. Speaker 2 (06:53): Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (06:54): I do want to be able to see when you've watched it. Speaker 4 (06:58): Wait, you have to send in self-tapes? Speaker 2 (07:01): Oh, yeah. Speaker 1 (07:01): Yeah, for certain projects. For certain projects. He demands it. Unless you ask nicely. Speaker 3 (07:09): You know what I mean? Speaker 4 (07:10): Well, isn't that still an offer? Ask nicely? Speaker 2 (07:13): Yeah, well. Speaker 1 (07:14): It's still asking. They're asking to see me read, yeah. Speaker 4 (07:18): I see. Speaker 2 (07:19): Yeah. Speaker 3 (07:20): I'm offer only, meaning... If you offer to watch a tape of mine, I will make it. So that's, it's a subtle distinction. Speaker 4 (07:31): Is there any other scenario in which you would make a self tape? Do you sometimes make self tapes when they haven't asked? Speaker 1 (07:41): When the muse strikes me. Speaker 2 (07:43): I mean, you know, he's an artist. I mean, it's not just for the money. Right. Like it's not like you're not just making toys are nice. I'm not going to lie. Speaker 1 (07:50): But yeah, that's not what got me into it. I wanted to express myself. Speaker 2 (07:55): But it's like, OK, if someone like if someone wants to watch it, great. But like you're an actor, you're gonna make. Self-tape. Oh, yeah. That's what you do. You go insane without having that outlet of a self-tape. Speaker 3 (08:09): If I can't self-tape even when there's no shows in production or sort of casting, just put me in a straight jacket and lock me in a rubber room because. Speaker 2 (08:19): I need that. Speaker 1 (08:22): I need that way to get this stuff that's in me outside. I'll become anyone in those tapes. Speaker 4 (08:30): How do you decide? Speaker 2 (08:32): It is really tough to narrow it down. Speaker 1 (08:35): I love the idea that I'm deciding. Speaker 4 (08:39): You know what I mean? Speaker 2 (08:40): I wish. Speaker 1 (08:42): If I could just decide, if I. Speaker 2 (08:43): Could just pick. Does the cup decide what kind of juice to have in it? Right. Simply a vessel. Speaker 1 (08:53): It's merely a vessel to hold the juice. Interesting, though. Speaker 4 (08:59): Yeah, no, that makes sense. Speaker 3 (09:01): Does the hat decide. Speaker 1 (09:07): What head to be on? Speaker 4 (09:12): You mean like this? Speaker 2 (09:13): Oh, there's a hat there. He's holding it up. Adam, how'd this hat get here? Speaker 1 (09:19): I guess Stuart actually is a fan of the show. Speaker 4 (09:24): It's a nice hat. Speaker 2 (09:26): We have had some guests make the choice. You can take the cardboard out. Some have decided to leave it in. Yeah. To maintain the structural integrity of the hat. That's something you are allowed to do. Speaker 1 (09:36): You pick. Speaker 4 (09:37): I think I'm going to take it out. Speaker 2 (09:40): Okay. Speaker 1 (09:41): And that was a test in your past. Speaker 2 (09:43): Kevin. Oh, my God. Speaker 4 (09:47): Now you recognize me. Speaker 2 (09:48): Now I do because I feel like this is the real you in the hat pack. Oh, wow. Speaker 4 (09:53): I'm going to adjust it. Speaker 1 (09:54): Yeah, I think that's right. It looked like there was a little more room. Speaker 3 (09:58): And is what I like about you is unlike a lot of our freakish listeners. Speaker 1 (10:08): This hat's fine for you. Speaker 2 (10:10): You wouldn't believe. Speaker 1 (10:11): The amount of messages we get. Speaker 2 (10:13): Can you make the hat 10 times this big? Speaker 1 (10:18): You're going, let me bring it in a snap. But we get so many. Speaker 2 (10:21): And they're like, is there any way? The hat is exploding off me and ricocheting into my family. My family is in trouble. So you did a self-tape for Young Sheldon. Speaking of juice, you had a pacifier in and tried to drink juice at the same time. During the self-tape. (10:42): During the self-tape. They ended up going in a different direction. Speaker 4 (10:46): Like I said, I don't even think they saw the pacifier bit. Speaker 2 (10:49): They just. They didn't see that. I did the pacifier. What makes you think they didn't watch it? Speaker 4 (10:55): Well, I didn't get the role. Speaker 2 (10:57): Okay. We got to strike again. Speaker 1 (11:00): We got to strike again. Speaker 2 (11:01): I'm ready. Am I wrong? Speaker 1 (11:03): They're not watching that. Speaker 2 (11:06): How do we miss the chance to make the rule that you have to at least watch it? Speaker 1 (11:14): This could be actually one of the verses in the multiverse. There's a baby version of the devil and his name is Juicifer. He needs his juice. He has a baba full of juice. Speaker 2 (11:26): You know what I mean? He's still evil, but he's sort of adorable. Speaker 1 (11:30): And we're going to be able to save the universe from that? You may fail. Speaker 2 (11:35): Stewie type. Really, just do Stewie. Might as well have Stewie. Stewcifer. Speaker 4 (11:41): Stewcifer, yeah. Speaker 1 (11:42): Stewie's the devil. Speaker 2 (11:43): Yeah. Just make the devil Stewie. I'm down with that. Speaker 1 (11:46): The devil Stewie. This is just an episode idea. Speaker 4 (11:48): That's like another, that could be a whole spinoff. Speaker 1 (11:49): We've got a season two, no? Speaker 2 (11:51): Yeah. Speaker 4 (11:51): We're already picked up for season two. Yeah, Stewcifer. Speaker 1 (11:54): Things will run away fucking train. Want to keep that going. Might not be bad to have Stewcifer in there. Speaker 4 (12:00): No, I'm going to pitch that as though it were my own. Speaker 2 (12:03): Well, that would be great. Speaker 1 (12:04): And then if they like it, you can come back for more ideas. Maybe ultimately we all sit down, have a little, you know, brainstorm sesh with the brass. Who's running this thing? Who's our showrunner? Speaker 2 (12:16): Chuck Lorre. Speaker 1 (12:18): Don't say Chuck Lorre. Speaker 2 (12:19): Sorry. Speaker 1 (12:21): No, just for me. Just in terms of the doors that are not open to me. Speaker 2 (12:28): Why do you say that? Speaker 4 (12:31): You're a talented guy. Speaker 2 (12:32): I know. That's the only requirement. Speaker 4 (12:34): It has nothing to do with that. Speaker 2 (12:36): I wish it was more about that in this town. If only, yeah. Speaker 4 (12:41): What, it's political? Speaker 2 (12:44): It's personal. Oh. It's personal. Oh. Yeah. It's not. Speaker 3 (12:53): So, I. Speaker 1 (12:56): Also have a mom. Speaker 4 (12:59): And I wanted to do a show, mom. Speaker 1 (13:02): And he wanted to do a show, Mom. Speaker 3 (13:04): And when they went with his show, Mom, which was totally different from mine, and I think there was room for both of them, I. Speaker 2 (13:16): Sent some emails, right? To Chuck's mom. To Chuck's mom. Yeah. You think you deserve to be on screen and not my mommy? Speaker 1 (13:28): Look at this. And I was sending her photos and I was like, now you send me photos back. Speaker 3 (13:33): It got to a point where Chuck did intervene. He asked me not to email his mom anymore, but he also asked me not to come in for any brainstorm sessions or really try to get involved with it. Speaker 4 (13:46): But he was nice. Speaker 2 (13:46): About it though, right? Speaker 4 (13:48): Oh, I mean, can we go back for a second? I just, she asked you to, To send her pictures. Speaker 1 (13:57): I said, here's some pictures of my mom. Speaker 2 (13:58): This should be the show. You think you're a show? Now you send some back. Speaker 1 (14:02): You send me a photo. Show me why you should be a show. Speaker 4 (14:04): Oh, you asked her to send you. Speaker 2 (14:06): I asked her to send you. And this was all through Chuck. He didn't have like Chuck's mom's email. How is he going to get that? He's emailing Chuck and saying, do not read this. Speaker 4 (14:15): Yeah. Speaker 2 (14:15): Show it to your mom. Forward to mom. Yeah. Speaker 1 (14:18): I don't even say your mom. Speaker 2 (14:19): She's just mom to me. Speaker 1 (14:21): You know, the show's not called. Speaker 4 (14:22): Your Mom or My Mom. Speaker 1 (14:23): The show's just Mom, which is my idea, too. But I said, don't read it. Send it to her. Speaker 3 (14:29): In a way, him even reading it was sort of a betrayal. A little bit of a violation, wouldn't you say? Speaker 4 (14:37): Well, are you sure that he read it? Speaker 2 (14:41): So that, I can hear that hitting you where you live. Because, oh, he has time to read this guy's e-mails online. to his mom that he's not even supposed to read. And meanwhile, he. Speaker 4 (14:55): Didn't have time to watch the juice. Speaker 2 (14:57): I put a pacifier in, swallow it on the tape by accident. I know. Speaker 4 (15:04): But still, it was a happy accident. It worked. Speaker 2 (15:11): You turned it into something incredible. Speaker 1 (15:14): I'll see that in three to five days. Speaker 2 (15:16): Pull it out of my diaper. Speaker 1 (15:18): And it was like incredible improv. I've seen the tape. Speaker 2 (15:22): Yeah. So your wife. It was one of the longest. Speaker 4 (15:24): One of the longest self-tapes ever. Because it took days for it to pass. Speaker 2 (15:28): But now you have a hospital set, right? Speaker 4 (15:30): That's right. Speaker 2 (15:30): Free hospital set for the self-tape. And your wife is not calling cut. Like she knows, like. He's in it right now. You need to capture that. Speaker 1 (15:38): Don't break the illusion. Speaker 4 (15:39): She knows not to call cut. Speaker 3 (15:41): Do you think the reason they didn't watch it was because it was three to five days long? No. Speaker 4 (15:47): No. Yeah. Speaker 2 (15:48): I don't either. Speaker 3 (15:49): I don't either. Speaker 1 (15:50): I'm just asking if you thought that. Speaker 4 (15:51): No, I never thought that. Speaker 2 (15:53): This is Adam. Hi. Speaker 4 (15:56): Do you think it was because my self tape was, I sent in a self tape. It was three to five days. Speaker 2 (16:01): He wants to know the context of what we were just talking about. I was just thinking about how I can't see your eyes. Speaker 1 (16:09): Uh, But you can see the hat, right? Speaker 4 (16:12): Do you think it was because my self-tape was three to five days long? Speaker 2 (16:20): Very winsome. Speaker 3 (16:21): This guy knows how to work the camera. Speaker 4 (16:24): What do you think? This guy really got it all. Speaker 2 (16:28): He doesn't think anyone can know that. He believes in Gnosticism. Speaker 4 (16:32): I feel like I know that's not the reason. I. Speaker 2 (16:39): We can see why that would be painful after all that you gave to the show. Physically. Physically. Emotionally. Financially. Speaker 4 (16:48): Those are really the only three areas. Speaker 2 (16:52): Those are the big three at least. Are there any others? Speaker 1 (16:56): Areas for pain? Speaker 2 (16:57): Spiritually? Speaker 4 (16:58): Yeah. Speaker 2 (17:00): Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Speaker 3 (17:02): Heavy. I didn't think we were going to go there today. But yeah, let's get into it. I mean, obviously, it's physically painful to pass a pacifier. Speaker 2 (17:15): Yes. Speaker 1 (17:16): And financially, the hospital bills rack up. Speaker 2 (17:19): I mean, pacifier, they ain't kidding. Right? Yeah. Speaker 1 (17:24): Oh, it's on fire. Speaker 2 (17:25): All right. We warned you. Speaker 1 (17:31): No, they named that thing right. They got one thing right. Speaker 2 (17:35): And you're sticky from the juice. You've got the juice all over you. Oh, no. And so Chuck says, why don't you sit tight for a few years and we'll find something for you. Speaker 1 (17:51): We've got to find something to work on together. Sheldon didn't work out, but we've got to find something. We've all had that conversation. Speaker 3 (17:59): I think I just saw something we could have worked on together. I could have been young Sheldon. Speaker 2 (18:03): Really young. Speaker 3 (18:05): And it feels like lip service when that happens. But ultimately, this one did come around. And when you first read the script for this, you must have been thinking, okay, wait, what? Speaker 4 (18:19): No live audience. Speaker 2 (18:22): Walk me through that. Yes, yes. How do I know what you're looking around? I see you in the early episodes of the show really looking around in desperation. For some sort of reaction. Like, is this even happening? Does it exist without it being perceived immediately? I felt like I hit that line. Speaker 1 (18:41): You're saying it feels like there should be some. Speaker 4 (18:44): Response to that. You would think there would at least be cameras. Speaker 2 (18:48): Yeah. No, nothing. Nothing. Speaker 4 (18:51): Wow. They're showing something on HBO Max. Speaker 2 (18:55): I haven't seen it. Speaker 1 (18:55): Something's on there. Speaker 4 (18:57): I assume maybe it's just audio. I haven't seen it. Speaker 1 (19:01): Mm-hmm. Speaker 2 (19:02): Could be a podcast. Speaker 1 (19:04): Could be a podcast. Speaker 2 (19:05): Yeah. Speaker 1 (19:05): Those are hot right now. Speaker 2 (19:07): They are? Speaker 3 (19:08): Oh, yeah. Speaker 2 (19:09): Oh, my God. Speaker 1 (19:10): It's a growth industry. Yeah. Speaker 3 (19:12): No. Speaker 1 (19:13): Easiest, easiest time to get in and. Speaker 3 (19:16): Make a mark with podcasts right now. Speaker 1 (19:18): And we're actually considering it. Speaker 4 (19:24): I think you should go for it. Speaker 2 (19:25): I think we should, too. You never know. I think we should, too. You never know. Speaker 4 (19:27): We're just so busy with this one. If it doesn't work out, you move on to something else. Speaker 2 (19:32): Yeah, yeah, yeah. Speaker 1 (19:34): That part I'm not as confident about. Speaker 4 (19:36): No. Speaker 1 (19:38): I think that sometimes it doesn't work out and you. Speaker 4 (19:39): Continue doing it. Speaker 2 (19:42): But that, I mean, like. Speaker 4 (19:44): That would be sad. Speaker 1 (19:45): You never move on to something else. I think sometimes that does happen. Speaker 4 (19:48): That's my line. Speaker 2 (19:51): He woke up that's adam. Speaker 1 (19:52): Can i have context for that adam. Speaker 5 (19:54): Yeah that's true it's true good point But you've worked with Lapkus. Speaker 2 (20:05): Lapkus. Speaker 4 (20:06): Lauren Lapkus. Speaker 2 (20:07): Which means that she spent the whole time sizing you up to- Apex Predator. Basically burn the bridge and the moat to keep you out of the podcasting industry. Speaker 4 (20:23): That's correct. I think that's why she took the job. Speaker 2 (20:26): Because she sensed that you were a threat. Yeah. She's blocking. Yeah. She's blocking. Mm-hmm. Speaker 4 (20:32): Yeah, she's never officially cast. She just kept showing up to block me from going into podcasting. Speaker 1 (20:39): Well, that's not long enough. Speaker 2 (20:40): You end up in the scene. I mean, isn't that true? Yeah. Speaker 3 (20:45): And she must have been talking about us, I guess, right? Speaker 1 (20:48): Because we've done podcasts with her. Speaker 3 (20:50): So as you look back on set, what's your favorite memory from set of Lapkus talking about us being funny? Speaker 2 (20:56): Or any time that. It doesn't even have to be your favorite. Speaker 4 (20:59): Yeah. Speaker 2 (20:59): Any time. Speaker 4 (21:00): Right, right, right, right, right, right. Speaker 1 (21:01): There's a couple you could rank them. Speaker 4 (21:03): Must have been the time. Speaker 2 (21:06): Oh, boy. Speaker 4 (21:09): Am I going to like this? Speaker 2 (21:10): Sometimes she says embarrassing stories. Now I'm sweating. Oh, my God. Speaker 1 (21:15): She knows us pretty well, so sometimes she'll tell us. Speaker 2 (21:17): We go a long way back. Speaker 4 (21:19): She has been on the show, now that I recall. Speaker 2 (21:24): Okay. Yes. All right. She's met you guys. Okay. Speaker 1 (21:28): Because I was nervous that it was going to be. Speaker 2 (21:31): That may have been. Speaker 4 (21:31): That was her comment. Speaker 2 (21:33): Andy Richter. Is it possible that she was talking about Andy Richter? Maybe. Okay. It's possible. Speaker 4 (21:40): She's met someone. Speaker 2 (21:41): She's just been on a lot of shows. She has met someone, though. That's awesome. That kicks ass. Speaker 1 (21:49): Hey, that's why we move here. Speaker 2 (21:51): Yeah. Speaker 3 (21:52): You know what I mean? Speaker 1 (21:52): Are you from L.A. Speaker 2 (21:53): Originally? No. Okay. Speaker 1 (21:56): But you live here now? Speaker 4 (21:57): Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (22:01): Congratulations, man. Speaker 4 (22:03): Thank you. Speaker 1 (22:03): Where are we filming this thing? Speaker 4 (22:06): Uh, we filmed the first season, mostly at universal studios here in LA. Speaker 2 (22:10): Yeah. What? Speaker 1 (22:12): No, I mean, I'm listening. Oh, that's the face I make when I'm listening and I'm waiting. Speaker 4 (22:18): Um, and, uh, but it's a Warner brothers show. So maybe season two, we'll check this out. Okay. Speaker 2 (22:26): Check this out. Speaker 1 (22:29): Stuart fails to save the universal. Speaker 4 (22:33): You're filming at Universal. Speaker 2 (22:36): Stuart fails to save the Universal. Young version of you overlapping with another property. Stuart Little fails to save the Universal. Speaker 1 (22:51): So to Stuart Little, Universal would be as big to him as the entire universe is to us. Speaker 2 (22:56): I think if people go in thinking that it's the mouse, it's great. It's actually you. With more pacifiers, you keep swallowing them. The juice is, you're more juice than man. Speaker 4 (23:11): Would each season be one episode of swallowing and passing? Because that'd be very long episodes. Speaker 2 (23:21): Three to five days, yeah, per episode. Three to five days per episode. Speaker 3 (23:24): Yeah, but it's like a Big Brother live feed kind of model, you know, where people can actually just witness even you sleeping, you know. You'll be so small, forced perspective, I think we're going to use. Uh, it'll be interesting to see someone that size sleeping while a pacifier works its way through their intestines. Speaker 2 (23:41): Yeah. And it's Twitch. Like, this is like, these kids live online. Speaker 4 (23:45): Yeah. Well, they have those little cameras you get for the upper GI. Speaker 2 (23:50): Yes. Yeah. Speaker 4 (23:52): Do you like that idea or? Speaker 1 (23:53): I love it. Speaker 2 (23:55): Shoot it all on that. Speaker 1 (23:56): Yes. Speaker 4 (23:57): I'll talk to Chuck about this. Speaker 3 (23:58): It's like we go, you know, so they say like, oh, are we going handheld on this thing? But I'm like, are we going esophageal? Because I think that actually is the next wave of like really a truly immersive experience. Speaker 2 (24:12): Yeah. Speaker 3 (24:12): I mean, you got fans from this show already. And it's like, how can they get closer to you? I mean, so much of this is fan service. Speaker 4 (24:19): Yeah, no. Speaker 1 (24:20): I don't think any of us have. Speaker 4 (24:24): You know, have. Speaker 2 (24:26): Had that level, right? Speaker 3 (24:28): Of sort of connection to someone. Speaker 1 (24:33): I mean, imagine, who are you a huge fan of? Speaker 2 (24:35): Who's one of your heroes in this industry? Speaker 1 (24:38): Don't say us, but who are your guys? Speaker 2 (24:44): Don't say us. Speaker 1 (24:47): You can't say us. Speaker 2 (24:49): That's the only rule. Speaker 4 (24:51): I'm cool with that. Speaker 2 (24:52): Yeah. Speaker 4 (24:53): Um, let's say Anthony Hopkins. Speaker 2 (24:57): Okay. Is a close second. Speaker 1 (25:01): So Anthony Hopkins, what's he from? Speaker 2 (25:05): Um.... Speaker 4 (25:07): He was in Silence of the Lambs. Speaker 2 (25:10): Ah, yes. Remains of the Day. Speaker 3 (25:13): Yes. Speaker 2 (25:13): Thor Ragnarok. Huh? Thor Ragnarok. Thor Ragnarok. Now that's a movie. Now that's an actual movie that's real. Adam came up with one that's real. Speaker 1 (25:25): Adam was able to name a movie. Speaker 2 (25:26): An actual movie. Speaker 3 (25:27): Especially for our listeners that they'll have some context for. And Silence of the Lambs, I believe it's actually called The Sheep Detectives. Speaker 1 (25:38): So it is, which, you know, you were close and I just want. Speaker 2 (25:43): To- Thank you. Really close. Speaker 4 (25:43): Really close. Speaker 2 (25:44): Thank you for correcting me. You're right. Speaker 4 (25:46): You're absolutely right. Speaker 1 (25:47): And I think it wasn't Anthony in that, if I'm right. Speaker 2 (25:51): I believe it was Nicholas Braun. Oh. Oh, Lily the sheep, I think is who he is. Speaker 1 (25:55): Lily was there as well. Speaker 2 (25:57): Did I say Anthony? The mystery solving sheep. Yes. I said Anthony Hopkins. So you said Anthony. Are you sure? You said Anthony Hopkins, who I think plays a bunny in the movie. This just came off the microphone. Do you think it's okay? We'll find out, I guess. Magnet. Yeah. So back on. Okay. Speaker 1 (26:17): Um, but yeah, so Anthony Hopkins, and this is. Speaker 2 (26:20): Kind of like the science from the show in a way, you know? Speaker 4 (26:23): Yeah. Speaker 2 (26:24): This is like, it's for like really smart people. How do you get multiple, you know, universes or whatever. Speaker 3 (26:30): And it's like, ultimately it's these, you know, it's these forces. Speaker 4 (26:34): You're giving away spoilers with the magnet. Speaker 2 (26:37): This is a big part of the show. Speaker 1 (26:38): So that's going to be season two, right? It's this, we open on this. Speaker 4 (26:42): Let's move on. Speaker 2 (26:43): Okay. Speaker 1 (26:44): Okay, yeah. I don't want to get in more. Speaker 2 (26:46): Trouble with Chuck. You become magnetized. Speaker 4 (26:51): You're ruining it for the fans. Speaker 1 (26:52): Thor magnet rock. I don't know. Speaker 3 (26:58): The reason we ask who your hero is, is we just imagine, right, a live feed of the inside. Speaker 2 (27:05): Of their body. Speaker 3 (27:06): Wouldn't you be more excited to watch that than basically anything else on TV or movies right now? Speaker 4 (27:15): Not necessarily me. I'm not saying that other people would. I mean, I think it would do well. I don't know if it would be my thing. Speaker 2 (27:22): And Chuck is going to act like it was his idea as soon as you bring it to him. These were some of the pictures that Sean sent his mom not that long ago. I mean, so this is like, you know, you had these interactions long after the show Mom was no longer on the air. So. Like, this (27:45): is pretty... Fairly recent. This is pretty recent. Yeah. Fairly recent. Yeah. Speaker 3 (27:51): No, I think there was a little bit of an attitude from him of like, why are you coming to me with this at all? Speaker 2 (27:56): Yeah. Speaker 1 (27:58): Which is never a great way to receive anything. Speaker 4 (28:01): Yeah. But the lines of communication are still open with him. Speaker 1 (28:09): Is his email still. Speaker 3 (28:14): Uh, is this email still what I remember it being? Which of course is, um, big Chuck, the pimp. Speaker 1 (28:24): At Yahoo dot mail dot. Speaker 2 (28:28): Hold on. Dot. Wait a second. Dot. Is this email still going? Starting to look like one of his title cards. Dot net. Yeah. Speaker 3 (28:42): Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 2 (28:44): Yeah. Speaker 1 (28:45): Yeah, that's still where he's at. Speaker 4 (28:47): As far as I know. Speaker 3 (28:47): And that way then the communication could still be open. Speaker 1 (28:53): I just got to get my email account back up. Speaker 2 (28:56): He acts like you're supposed to have seen everything he made like as soon as it came out, you know? And I guess that's like... pride of workmanship or you know like oh like you haven't seen like you don't know that came out so long you're just finding out about mom now and you're mad about it you're emailing my mom. Speaker 1 (29:15): About it good luck telling him that you're saving Sybil. Speaker 3 (29:19): That I'm just like I'm like at some point I'm gonna have a vacation that is just a full Sybil fest but don't tell him that cause then all of a sudden it's like. Speaker 4 (29:30): You haven't seen that yet I don't think he created that okay sorry. Speaker 2 (29:38): Go on. Speaker 1 (29:38): Well, maybe that's why he doesn't like that I keep telling it, if then I'm saving it. Speaker 2 (29:43): Yeah, no. It's true. Speaker 1 (29:45): Did he work on it? Speaker 2 (29:46): He did. Speaker 4 (29:47): I think so. Speaker 2 (29:49): Who created that? Sybil? Probably should hear. Speaker 1 (29:52): Her telling it. Speaker 4 (29:52): Probably maybe her people. Speaker 2 (29:53): Hollywood Handbook. Hollywood Handbook. No studio audience. Did you guys have a warm-up comic? Speaker 4 (30:06): On the Big Bang Theory? Speaker 3 (30:07): No. Speaker 4 (30:08): Oh, on Stuart Fels Save the Universe? Speaker 2 (30:11): It shows. Unfortunately, it does show. You guys are just entering a studio space that is unleavened. You know what I mean? Like, it hasn't gotten to, like. Speaker 4 (30:30): It's not in the... It's not yeasted up. It's not in the walls. It's not in the rafters. Speaker 2 (30:35): It's not, yeah. Like, it's, like, the fun isn't already, like, bouncing around the room, you know, by the time you guys show up to, like, take advantage of it. Yeah. You can feel. Speaker 1 (30:46): That nobody has. Speaker 3 (30:47): Like a bag of spider rings or anything that they're giving out to people who maybe won an impromptu dance contest. Speaker 1 (30:56): And that energy, unfortunately, does translate to the screen. Speaker 2 (30:59): Yeah. Speaker 4 (31:00): It's very austere. Speaker 2 (31:01): Nobody's been gibbed it up for. Nobody's been giveted up for it. No. Speaker 1 (31:05): No one has been giveted up for it at all. Speaker 2 (31:08): These are good notes. Speaker 4 (31:10): We're going into season two. We've survived the hard part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I'm going to start giveting it up for people. Speaker 1 (31:19): I think if you came in really quick. Speaker 2 (31:22): There's not a lot. Speaker 4 (31:23): I mean, I guess I'll be giveting it up to the crew. Speaker 2 (31:27): I mean, that could be nice. Would that be so wrong? You can sort of tell. Speaker 4 (31:30): They work pretty hard. I'm just, I'm taking notes. This is why I'm here. Speaker 2 (31:35): Mm-hmm. Speaker 1 (31:36): The crew. Speaker 4 (31:37): These are good ideas. Speaker 2 (31:39): The camera is me, right? That's me. That's my perspective. I'm the audience. I'm watching the show. So if you give it up for me. That's my eyeballs. Speaker 1 (31:48): Now all of a sudden I'm feeling pretty good while I watch. Speaker 2 (31:51): And instead I'm watching like, okay. Okay. Speaker 1 (31:55): No one's addressing me at all. Speaker 3 (31:57): Literally no one has looked at me or talked to me the whole time. Speaker 4 (32:01): You guys are saying that I should be gifting it up to the camera, like the fourth wall, so to speak. Speaker 2 (32:08): We would appreciate that. Yes. Speaker 1 (32:10): I think I would feel better. Speaker 3 (32:12): Yes. Even if in between scenes, maybe you would sit down and just talk. Speaker 2 (32:16): Directly to me. Speaker 4 (32:18): And only, only you. Speaker 2 (32:20): Hey, look, there's only one camera for the show. Gets a little lonely. Yeah. Speaker 4 (32:25): Yeah, no, this is good. Speaker 3 (32:27): Mm-hmm. Okay. Speaker 2 (32:27): It used to be it was me and my friends. We're laughing. We got spider rig a minute ago. We actually ran around and grabbed a bunch of them. Speaker 1 (32:37): Got some of our sillies out as well. Speaker 3 (32:39): And we heard there's pizza coming later. And so that was a feeling of community that is going to be tough to replace unless you are sitting down, looking directly at the camera, talking to me. Speaker 1 (32:53): You know, give it up for. Speaker 4 (32:54): Me and the pizza thing. What about lactose intolerant people? I've that's I've always because there's always the mid pizza point. Speaker 2 (33:05): Mm hmm. Speaker 4 (33:06): And these things are long. And if you're lactose intolerant, you're screwed. Speaker 2 (33:10): Mm hmm. But the people that are going to these shows are actually screened. Speaker 3 (33:18): They're not in communication with their bodies. That's not something, whether they're lactose intolerant or not, they would be the last to know. Speaker 4 (33:28): Is this just the Big Bang Theory or just multicam comedies? Speaker 2 (33:32): You can hear from the laughter that they didn't even buy a ticket home. They have no plans. Speaker 4 (33:41): Right. Speaker 2 (33:43): You can hear, as they're laughing, just wandering around. around the studio. Speaker 1 (33:49): Free range. Speaker 3 (33:51): You know how in the season finale or series finale rather of Hacks, they sort of tease that Debra Vance might be going to one of those suicide pods in like Switzerland or whatever? Speaker 4 (33:59): I don't. Speaker 1 (34:01): Oh, you haven't seen that one yet? Speaker 3 (34:03): No. Speaker 1 (34:05): You're on HBO. You may want to get in touch with. Speaker 2 (34:10): Some of the content. I'm going to get around to it. You might want to learn your history a little bit. Speaker 1 (34:14): It's sort of suggested. Speaker 4 (34:16): Didn't we establish that you could take years before? I mean, you're just getting around to Sybil. Speaker 2 (34:22): I'm saving it, but don't tell Chuck. Speaker 1 (34:23): That gives me about 20 years to watch Sybil. Speaker 3 (34:28): Well, in the series finale, at least the initial premise, I don't want to spoil anything whether she goes through with it or not, but she is going to go and do an assisted suicide in a pod. And for a lot of the people in the multicam audience. Speaker 2 (34:49): Our show has been described that way. Literally using those exact words. Speaker 4 (34:57): Because I'm not feeling anything yet. When does it start to onset? Speaker 2 (35:02): It's long. Speaker 1 (35:03): It's long. And by the way, the whole point is you won't feel anything. Speaker 2 (35:08): Okay. Speaker 3 (35:09): So it should actually be a very peaceful experience. And just talking to two people you trust. And you just blink out. Speaker 4 (35:20): And when do. Speaker 2 (35:23): They arrive? Speaker 1 (35:23): They're right behind that curtain. Speaker 4 (35:27): I do hear someone. Speaker 2 (35:30): It's popping off in there. By the way. What are they watching? Speaker 4 (35:33): In the bathroom. Speaker 1 (35:34): Oh, go ahead. Speaker 4 (35:35): Before I came in this room. Speaker 1 (35:37): I was going to ask about the bathroom. Speaker 2 (35:38): Yeah. Yeah. Speaker 4 (35:41): I could have sworn I heard someone taking a shower to like, is that, do you guys live here? Speaker 1 (35:48): That's the phantom of I heart. Speaker 2 (35:51): Yeah. Yeah. I mean, who knows? Speaker 4 (35:55): It's a guy. The thing is I walked in and like a, it's an office and there's people with laptops, but I went in the bathroom and someone was taking a shower. Speaker 1 (36:05): So there is a guy in a mask. It's the actual mask from the Chewbacca Mob videos. Speaker 2 (36:12): Not the same one is the actual mask of Chewbacca Mob. Yeah. And it was really expensive, but nobody knows who it is. Like, no one, like, it's just someone that, like, wanders around. Speaker 1 (36:26): And cleanliness is important. Speaker 2 (36:28): Smelling amazing. Speaker 1 (36:29): He does shower. He does clean it all up. Speaker 3 (36:32): The mask doesn't smell amazing anymore just because it gets so wet in the shower. Speaker 2 (36:37): I would think that the phantom of I heart and no one knows if it's a he or she has to wear the mask because people are like, listening to them in the shower. Yeah. And it wasn't, I wasn't trying to determine their identity. Yeah. Speaker 1 (36:55): They're shy. People don't know if it's a man or a woman. Speaker 2 (36:57): And then sharing their bathroom activities publicly. Speaker 4 (37:01): Yeah. Speaker 1 (37:01): I can't wait to get on the pod and rat out the person who took a shower, which is actually a nice thing to do. Speaker 4 (37:09): No, I just curious adjusted, you know? Speaker 2 (37:12): Oh yeah. Speaker 1 (37:13): The phantom of my heart. Who's actually like, I think. Speaker 4 (37:15): Secretly sort of nice mildewy mask. Speaker 2 (37:20): I have a confession to make. Oh, this is, this is Adam. Yeah. That's a, it's me. Speaker 1 (37:26): Um, but I, yeah, I'm just living here until they told me that they're going to start paying me next year. Speaker 2 (37:32): So I think I can, I can probably move out after that. Speaker 4 (37:35): Well, I, next year, 2027 or one year from today. Speaker 2 (37:40): I mean, that would be in 2027. I think it was January. I think it's FY2728 is how I heard it described. Q3. Speaker 4 (37:52): I would just say when you take a shower, you're in there by yourself. Take off the mask. Rinse it a little. Speaker 1 (38:01): Oh, you'd love that, wouldn't you, Kevin? Speaker 2 (38:06): I'm not going to see it. Maybe someone's in there, too. Yeah. They will get a little mask. Maybe they get to try the mask on. Maybe it splashes on him a little bit. Speaker 4 (38:16): Slower. Rinse it slower. Speaker 2 (38:18): Rinse it. I was hoping it made me invisible. Wow. Speaker 1 (38:24): I don't want to, I don't want to deal with that yet. Speaker 2 (38:27): And he's, he's pitching. Speaker 1 (38:28): The desire to be invisible. Speaker 2 (38:31): He's pitching like sci-fi, like superhero stuff. Multiverse. Like he can be on the show. Like, you know. Speaker 1 (38:37): What are Stewart's powers? Yeah. Speaker 4 (38:41): Um, he doesn't. You can say, I guess so. Yeah, that's a good one. I'll go with that. He doesn't really have, it's not like a super power type of thing. He knows a lot about comic books. Speaker 2 (38:55): It's not really a power. Okay. Speaker 4 (38:57): It's just an attribute. Speaker 1 (39:00): Literacy, I guess. Speaker 4 (39:02): The power of reading. Yes, he has that. That's one of his powers. Speaker 2 (39:09): Starting to see why. The universe saving plan didn't come together. Yeah, it's... Literacy. Maybe not enough to bring it over the goal line. This season, at least. It's a start. Speaker 4 (39:25): It's a start. Makes certain things easier. Speaker 1 (39:27): How many seasons are we going to do? Speaker 4 (39:31): I'm going for five to seven. Speaker 2 (39:35): Five to seven. Speaker 4 (39:36): I'll mention that to Chuck. Speaker 2 (39:37): You work in ranges. Three to five days on the self-tape. Five to seven seasons on the show. Speaker 4 (39:44): It happens to be accurate. Speaker 2 (39:45): I heard it. Speaker 4 (39:48): Pretty sure you said it, but I'm not saying you're not accurate. Speaker 2 (39:51): Somebody said it. Speaker 1 (39:52): Have you publicly mourned Dolly Parton. Speaker 2 (39:57): Yet? We can clear the table if that would be helpful. Speaker 1 (40:01): Handle that right now. Speaker 2 (40:02): You can roll around. We get an exclusive. Speaker 4 (40:06): No, I mean, I can right now. You're going to want to. Speaker 2 (40:09): Yeah. Speaker 4 (40:10): You're going to want to. Such a terrible loss. A national treasure. Speaker 1 (40:15): It's not a question, though. Speaker 2 (40:19): So, so I'm right then. Yes. Speaker 3 (40:21): Okay. Speaker 2 (40:21): A hundred percent. Okay. Speaker 4 (40:23): Um, beautiful singer. Speaker 2 (40:25): Yeah. Speaker 4 (40:26): Physically, spiritually, financially. Speaker 1 (40:29): Hey. Speaker 2 (40:31): She sends you free books every month because you're a literate. You love to read. She knows you love to read. She sent you a free book every month. Speaker 4 (40:41): And when I worked in her theme park, I got a college, uh, subsidy. Speaker 2 (40:49): Wow. Speaker 1 (40:50): Well, this is an unexpected discovery. Speaker 2 (40:54): Did that happen? Speaker 1 (40:56): What ride were we operating in the theme park? Speaker 2 (40:59): Rhyme? Ride. This is good. Do you have his eyeline for this? Okay. The Falcon. The Falcon. The Falcon. Speaker 4 (41:11): Named after her famous song. Speaker 2 (41:12): Maybe it's The Eagle. The Eagle. Speaker 4 (41:15): I was more concentrated on making sure everyone was locked in. Speaker 2 (41:18): You're protecting everybody. Yes, that's right. You don't have to be distracted by the name of the ride. Speaker 4 (41:23): No, no, no. I was going to get around to it at some point. I'm locking people in. I'm strapping them in. Making sure they're not wearing jewelry. Speaker 2 (41:31): Hold the bar. Yeah. Speaker 3 (41:33): Maybe here, I'll hold your glasses for you, man. You don't want those to go flying off while you're on the Falcon or the Eagle. Speaker 4 (41:39): Yeah. Speaker 2 (41:40): Yeah. Speaker 4 (41:40): Height restrictions. It's a lot of responsibility. Speaker 2 (41:43): The height restriction being nine to five was confusing to me. Speaker 4 (41:47): Really? Speaker 3 (41:48): I get the reference, but it did seem tough to- Because usually you would. Speaker 2 (41:53): Usually you start from the lower number when you're talking about heights. Speaker 4 (41:56): Right. Speaker 2 (41:57): Nine seems unnecessarily- That's a big number. Speaker 1 (42:02): I don't think you're going to. Speaker 2 (42:03): Ever encounter that. Speaker 4 (42:04): It was a little confusing because that's the one area where it wasn't a range. What I was saying, what I intended was that you have to be nine years old and up to five feet. You can't. Speaker 2 (42:22): You have to be a tall nine-year-old. Speaker 4 (42:25): Only tall nine-year-olds ride the Eagle. It was one of their most popular rides. One of her most popular. Or was it the falcon? Speaker 1 (42:35): It doesn't sound like it could have been. Speaker 3 (42:37): No? Just because so few people, I think, would meet the exact criteria to be able to ride it from what you're describing. Speaker 4 (42:43): They don't have to be exactly five feet. Speaker 2 (42:45): Up to? Speaker 4 (42:46): They need to be nine. And no, above five feet. Speaker 2 (42:51): Okay. Speaker 4 (42:51): And it was either the eagle or the falcon. Speaker 2 (42:54): And you're describing that as something that you wrote. That's what you had in mind. My ride, my rules. Speaker 4 (43:00): Okay. Speaker 2 (43:05): While you were working the ride, you got to write the rules for college. Speaker 1 (43:11): That's such a beautiful. Speaker 4 (43:12): No, I didn't write the rules for college. I was working the ride for college subsidies. Speaker 2 (43:17): Well, I can imagine it being something that you got used to while you're getting your subsidies. And so that when you go to college, you decide, okay, here are the rules. Speaker 4 (43:29): For college? Speaker 2 (43:30): No, kissing. Speaker 3 (43:30): Kissing. Speaker 4 (43:33): How did you know that was my one rule in college? Speaker 2 (43:36): Personally. Speaker 4 (43:37): It was just my own personal rule. Speaker 2 (43:38): No kissing. Speaker 1 (43:39): You don't want to get sick. Speaker 2 (43:40): You know what I mean? College? Yeah. Speaker 1 (43:43): You got to be healthy for class. Speaker 2 (43:46): Yeah. Speaker 4 (43:46): College is for studying, not kissing. Speaker 2 (43:51): And it's just like, it's a cesspool of germs there. All the kids in their little grubby hands. Speaker 4 (43:59): Yeah. Speaker 2 (44:00): The toy, everyone's handling the toys. Speaker 1 (44:02): They're all touching the same toys. Speaker 4 (44:04): Yeah. Speaker 1 (44:05): Not cleaning them before they put them back. Speaker 4 (44:07): No one's taking showers. Speaker 2 (44:09): Hands in their mouth. Speaker 3 (44:11): Yes. Speaker 2 (44:11): Yeah. Snot everywhere. Speaker 1 (44:13): The little nap mats. Speaker 4 (44:14): The touching is bad enough. You don't want that. Speaker 2 (44:16): It's bad enough. Speaker 4 (44:19): No. Speaker 1 (44:23): What else about the show? Speaker 2 (44:24): What time is it? What time is it? Speaker 4 (44:25): Right now? Speaker 2 (44:26): 43, 29. What time is the show? What time does the show come on? 6 p.m. Pacific. Speaker 4 (44:31): How? On the TV. Or devices on HBO Max. Speaker 2 (44:43): Okay. And why is it on? Speaker 4 (44:46): It's 9 p.m. Speaker 2 (44:48): Eastern. Speaker 4 (44:49): And then you work. There's a range. Speaker 2 (44:51): There's a range. Speaker 4 (44:52): From the East Coast to the West Coast. There's a range of times. Speaker 1 (44:55): A whole range of times. That's like the show. Speaker 2 (45:00): Yeah. Speaker 3 (45:01): We almost live in a multiverse in a way where the show is on at different times and all these different parts of the country. Everyone's having this totally unique experience. You know, it's all a little bit different where somebody is talking to me and I'm going, did you watch the show at 6 PM? Speaker 2 (45:16): And they're going, you can't. Speaker 1 (45:18): And I'm going, what are you talking about? I do it every week. Speaker 2 (45:21): You know what I mean? Speaker 1 (45:22): And they're going, that's impossible. Speaker 3 (45:24): You know, I watch it at seven and it's like this window into this other dimension. Speaker 1 (45:29): It's actually kind of cool, man. It's like art imitates the show. Speaker 3 (45:34): Yes. Speaker 2 (45:34): Bye.
