Where?

So last record we did, Sessley.

I showed up in the studio.

I did not remember how I got there.

Mm-hmm.

Or to the studio.

To the studio.

And it was a different studio.

And I don't know why that was.

But it wasn't this room.

It was a completely different place.

No one explained to me.

I didn't know how I got there.

Didn't know how I got into the room I was in.

You didn't either?

At that studio, no.

Oh, okay.

This one, I have bits and pieces.

And I'm actually afraid of recovering the rest of the memory.

Today you just have bits and pieces.

Bips and pieces.

I have bits and pieces of the day.

And I, some people will go,

oh, don't you wish that you knew all the details of it?

I actually don't want to.

Because whatever happened to Brom here, it was unpleasant.

I just watched an HBO Max series called The Curious Task.

Curious case of.

And there was a woman who poisoned people

with this drug that they've only made in the USSR.

Mm-hmm.

If you remember.

Yeah.

And they would forget what happened.

She used it to kill people.

So you might have been poisoned.

Okay.

Was the woman my lovely wife?

She's hot.

So it's not her.

Oh.

I mean, you can, you can have a wife that's incarcerated.

Oh, believe me, I know.

I know.

You know, a couple of them.

Because they don't really compare notes.

Yeah, that's, it's different jails.

Yeah.

Unless you're like, you have to,

the challenges to not be such a good husband

that it really like gets around the jail system,

like the prison system.

You know what I mean?

That you become like basically famous

for being the best husband of the prisons.

Imagine this.

That's your goal.

But imagine you have two,

you basically are one of these, you know, men

with two different families,

but you have two different prison lives.

And then one of them is getting transferred

into the prison.

Yeah.

That the other one is.

Oh boy.

This is an HBO Max series.

I mean, here we go.

Here we go.

What are we gonna do, you know?

And HBO Max Paramount Plus.

Yeah, there's Skydance series.

Yeah, I'm so excited for that merger.

Are you?

I brought it up.

Here we go.

No, I was, it was a big debate.

So people don't hear before we start recording,

it was a big debate.

Are we gonna get into it?

And, and, and, and says,

I got the email too, saying they would,

and they asked that we don't do it this episode,

but it's on my mind.

I can't, I can't be anyone but myself.

Yeah, yeah.

It feels a little weird to me.

You know, like when your friends become friends.

Yeah.

Yeah, you know, when you have like your two,

like, well day ones,

what kind of like when your prison wife gets transferred

to the same prison.

I mean, it's not a bad example where you go.

These two are now comparing notes about me.

Yeah, now I have to go into that office, crap.

I'd like to think I'm the same person,

no matter who I'm talking to.

But the fact is, we're in sales.

We're in sales.

Yeah, exactly.

You're an actor, you're a writer,

you're a listener, so yeah.

You're really a sales person.

And, I have been known to,

when I'm in the Warner Brothers office, say,

those fucking idiots at Paramount don't know there.

Oh, no.

That's from the Albo.

They don't know with it.

And then I go over to Paramount and go,

you should have heard what Warner Brothers said about you.

Oh my God.

I said, I'm stormed out.

I said, I won't sell this show here.

They wanted it.

I said, I won't sell it to you.

You talked about my friend that way.

And I left.

So now they're gonna, yeah, probably find that out.

I think that's what they do first.

They sit in a room and they're like, all right, spill.

Who's talked about us?

Let's detail from the things that you said.

Which one of your friends has talked about us?

That's tea.

My thing is.

That's tea.

Did the fobs work?

You know, that's a good question for me.

If I beat my Paramount fob,

does the gate open for me?

Can I get into the WB with this other fob?

That's been really frustrating.

Are you double fob over there?

Yeah.

Well, this is-

And they're both blue.

Yeah, this is my fusing, huh?

This is my basin set of keys.

So when I'm in the basin,

this gets me into the basin studios.

When I'm in the valley, I use my valley fobs.

Well, how can you tell the difference?

Right.

I think you should be doing two colors.

Well, no, this is my basin set of keys of these are blue.

So these are blue.

But they're different fobs.

Yeah, my valley fobs.

Yeah, and that one doesn't go blue.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, I just got the one blue color.

What color are your fobs?

Black.

Black fobs.

Obviously, yeah.

Yeah.

All right.

Sessily.

We got it.

We got it.

We got it.

We got it.

We got it.

We got it.

We got it.

Have you seen the news at all?

The news is so crazy.

It's crazy out there.

Yeah.

I've been-

Everything going on.

I've been-

Don't tell me.

I've been this.

Exactly.

Don't even tell me I can get it.

With the news.

Right.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

No, I still got to go.

I'm still a salesperson.

You know, I got to keep-

I got to keep a smile on my face.

And this is not a political show.

Not traditionally.

This is a place where people can get away from the-

We don't take a position.

This is good.

Everything is this is like-

You guys are-

This person is dead.

This person is dead.

Bro, Spencer Pratt.

Mayor.

Because he stands outside of that.

He's one of us, honestly.

That's right.

He's not corrupted by all the, you know, horse trading that goes on in these political

rooms.

He's just a guy who just basically tells it like it is.

It married a talented singer.

That's right.

And yeah.

Even under that mask.

Do you believe it?

And I knew it was her.

Well, I mean, he's a musician in his own right.

I don't know if you were here.

Yeah.

But he had a rap single.

Wait, do you have that track?

Do you-

Can you play-

I'm a celebrity get me out of here by Spencer Pratt.

And specifically the line where he says this is ringtone rap, because that's a bar.

And we don't-

It doesn't hold up today.

But at the time, ringtone rap was huge.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And so, you know, we don't want to weigh in on this stuff.

You're like, this is good.

This is bad.

Never.

But it's really bad.

But we can agree this.

It's crazy.

It's so crazy.

I'm with you.

Yeah.

Too crazy.

It's for me.

Who's going to solve it?

I'm on threads.

I'm-

Yeah.

Looking at it.

You're putting in work on threads.

Yeah.

Yeah.

When your miner's helmet every day.

The thread count is high.

Egyptian cotton is looking up at you.

It's a jersey.

I like that.

It sits.

Thank you.

No one's done that yet.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Thank you.

But when we go back and we think like, what happened?

Yeah.

When did this all get so crazy?

What was actually the last thing that was kind of like holding it all together?

Before it all went sideways.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Are you asking me what my point is?

He's saying when he looks at it.

When I look at this and I actually did research.

And I look back and I was like, when did all this start?

Yeah.

It was after.

That's at least what house correspondents dinner.

Doesn't it feel that way?

Oh my god.

If we really get 15.

Wow.

Yeah.

Right.

Yeah.

And look at the timing of that.

Next year.

Sessley Strung does not host wife house correspondents dinner.

Trump wins.

Everything is crazy.

Everything gets nuts.

A year after that.

Not good, not bad, necessarily.

But very good.

Yeah.

Sessley Strung does not host wife house correspondents.

They're 2017, 2018, 2019.

We continue to not learn our lesson.

2020 happens.

Mm-hmm.

2021.

Yeah.

22, 23, 24, 25.

What are we doing?

Does he have to keep going, Sessley?

I get it.

Is it starting to host again?

Well, we want someone to fix it.

We have to go back.

Oh, we have to go back and I don't host.

No, we have to go back.

No, sorry.

We have to go back.

We have to go back to where you were hosting.

Okay.

This is the future.

I thought we were going.

We were time traveling to get me to not host the dinner and then hoping that it's not

back to the future.

We have to go back.

It's not back to the future.

It's more lost.

We have to go back where we have to go back to the island that we were on to the podium,

which was the podium.

You're on an island up there.

Huh?

Just you and the mic.

I didn't watch loss.

And I know I'm the only person.

And I'm not proud of that.

I just wanted to say that.

Go watch it and come back.

Go watch it and come back.

Go watch it and come back.

Go watch it and come back.

Go watch it and come back.

I'm just going to go and pause.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

She's not.

She's so nice.

She's so nice.

Yeah.

Not what I was told.

You know what?

I just, my TV is broken.

It's messed up.

You just looked over there and you could see that it was visible.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm just looking at it.

Now there's a big crack.

A big crack.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Forgot I got angry.

You don't want to go to the store.

The news.

The news.

It wasn't you were angry at the poisoning woman or the freaking news that tried to incarcerate

her.

Mm hmm.

Was they succeeded?

She's incarcerated.

She's poisoning them for no reason.

I doubt it.

I hate to say it.

There's more than one side every story.

What's robbery?

Yeah.

Robbery.

Okay.

Okay.

Her stuff back or their stuff.

Their stuff.

Mm hmm.

Like what kind of stuff though?

Yeah.

Um, I guess money cash.

Jewels.

Some valuables.

Yeah.

Maybe some jewels.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm going to have to be watched.

You need it.

So you can learn a little more.

Yeah.

I wish I could remember the name of this drug.

Mm hmm.

It was like a fun thing that I thought I want to drop this into a conversation.

The drug name.

And now I blew it.

Yeah.

Mm hmm.

It's but Nick.

The name of the drug.

It's probably called but Nick.

If we get you back at that.

This year, don't you think?

Can we just sort of like what kind of.

I'm dying to do it again.

I know.

I know.

I know.

They say it's the best room.

Yeah.

In the country.

Well, it's only gotten better.

It's only gotten better.

With all the crazy news, I mean, there's so much material there for you.

You know what I do?

Something about like Mar-a-Lago face.

Yeah.

Okay.

You know how it's.

I think it would be because this is actually a great way to.

Mar-a-Lago face.

It's workshops and stuff.

Yeah.

Let's talk about workshops.

Because I do not want to.

I don't want to fumble this opportunity.

Let's set.

Let's set tones here.

Because we know who's listening.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, like a lot of it's a very popular show.

So like a lot of people.

The show's only gotten bigger recently.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Great.

And this is a new studio for us as well.

This is bright.

Mm-hmm.

So.

That's where that's the new five.

Yeah.

Which we also, we've been getting some feedback.

And I do want to get to the dinner.

We've been getting some feedback that the appearance of the studio is very drab.

Some people are making some kind of mean comments about it.

Aw.

And I'm wondering.

What's the solution here?

Is it grateful dead posters?

Oh.

She has a big plant.

You know what I mean?

She's got a plant.

It's a fake plant too.

Yeah.

It's a plant.

Yeah.

The plant today.

The plant say aye.

There's a peloton.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Not to brag, but there's a peloton back there.

Careful.

New York City apartment.

Peloton fake plant.

Big color.

Yeah.

I'm that girl.

It's guilty.

Yeah.

I love that you own it.

Yeah.

You got it.

So it felt like a no on the grateful dead poster.

So I will keep workshopping.

But let's get to the material.

Let me show you this.

Huh?

What I'm drinking.

Oh.

Fish.

Yeah.

And it's two trains going into going through a tunnel.

I guess.

Yeah.

What is this?

It's a fish cup.

I use this to drink my juice.

Right?

I use it to drink my, um, just some water.

Mm-hmm.

Okay.

All right.

Podcast juice.

I'm in trouble, but I can go back to the back to the tool shed and figure that out.

Um, syllable wise?

Yeah.

Cause I was doing sort of a farmhouse parody and juice slotted right in there with just a

one.

If I make that water, I've got to go tinker with some of the lead up.

Okay.

And by the way, both of these people are doing that.

Priorities.

And thank you for the challenge.

Yeah.

Great.

You know what I mean?

I go, oh, like some people, and I know you're like this too, some people go, oh, I've

got more work to do.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I go.

Oh, more work to do.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes.

And that's a knife and fork.

Is that what you're doing?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know what I said?

Yeah.

You could look your fingers.

Fire the menu.

Ooh.

You ever do that?

You go or go a restaurant.

It's a fire the menu.

Fire the menu.

No, I haven't.

I know.

No, I haven't.

What do I mean when I say that?

I'm to eat it all.

Tonight, I'm to eat it all.

Uh-huh.

When it works on the menu.

Yeah.

It's work.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

But is it work if you love to eat it?

Yeah.

But kind of fun with real food too.

Yeah.

And then they bring it all in just like after one thing.

You're just kind of like.

Ooh.

I'm full.

Ooh.

I didn't know this was a seafood place.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I don't like seafood.

I'm allergic.

I'm sick.

Yeah.

I don't like this food.

Yeah.

If you say that to the waiter, I think they.

I don't think they would like it.

But I do think they would have to do something.

They love your honesty.

They just say like, I don't like this food.

They got to respect that.

Oh, is it like?

Is it cooked?

Yes.

They don't like it.

Mm-hmm.

And they're like, thank God.

Finally, someone real.

What is something called?

Because they don't like it either.

They must know.

They're carrying around all the time.

They've tried it.

Every waiter likes every item on the menu, I doubt it.

I don't think so.

Mm-hmm.

They probably have to pretend they do.

But if you're really being straight up with them,

I bet they give you a little wink back.

They want it.

Yeah.

They're like, finally.

I told them to lose that.

I told them to get that out of here.

Take the corn beans off the menu.

You know.

And that's the kind of humor.

It's observational.

Yes.

It's related.

It's stuff for the dinner.

It's stuff for the dinner.

Of course, fun.

It's dinner.

You know what I mean?

And so we're talking about Mar-a-Lago face.

I think we would want to talk about it like in a positive way.

It's cute.

Like it's good.

Definitely.

I want all positive stuff.

Okay.

Good.

Just good vibes.

Yeah.

So you night people.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I miss it.

They're looking for really like fun joking in that room.

And just people.

They want to see these people laugh and compliment it.

I mean, even you saying you night people reminds me of a joke I saw on a t-shirt once that

says like, bad spellers of the world untie.

And I feel like that could be so funny to say at the way that's quite a fun dinner.

And you just, you know, you're high-fiving whoever.

Wait.

It's you and T.I.D.

They transposed to the, yeah.

And we needed to set it to the L.D. community.

Did you put a T at the end as well?

Did I?

Untied.

Oh, I just, I mean, that's even really bad spelling.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So that can be really bad spellers of the world.

Oh my god.

Untied.

Untied.

Yeah.

Yes.

No, that could be great.

So we've got to be fun.

Opener.

Mm-hmm.

Hold for laughs.

Yeah.

Talk about, I mean, like it might help for us if you can talk about like this room.

Why it was the warmest room you've ever performed in.

Why you're just like standing up there like, thinking I wish I could be here forever

with these people.

Yes.

I feel like this is my family now.

Mm-hmm.

I mean, it's just you're, they're the big stars that you want to see.

Yeah.

You network a little bit.

I mean, we're all guilty of it.

Yeah.

You're going to, you're going to meet people and you're going to rub elbows after.

So it helps if you do a good set.

Yeah.

Oh, sure.

Because you're going to the Vanity Fair party.

Wow.

Let's be real.

Yes.

Yes.

I mean, really, you know, they're all, they don't mic the audience too.

Because I don't even like feedback, honestly.

I don't want to hear any laughs or cheerers.

It's distracting.

I know what the material is.

Yeah.

You know, I know what I prepared.

And then I can just keep going.

Yes.

Yes.

I can't, I don't want to be interrupted by the laugh.

Let me actually do my job.

Right.

Yeah.

Because I'm like, we've got 25 minutes.

Let's go.

It's not a two-hander.

You know, this material was written for one person to perform.

Yes.

I don't really need all the, like, trying to time out what's going on for you.

Are you?

Because if you're laughing, you're not listening.

Exactly.

If you're laughing, you're not listening.

And I don't want it to inform my performance or my delivery, how I think of the jokes.

Oh, yeah.

You want to be pure.

You're an artist up there.

We always say, you know, because we do, we've done this podcast for a while, people go,

Oh, do you guys do stand up or, you know, do you have a performance stage?

And we go, no, no.

The medium for us is we do this to silence.

We know it's funny.

Right.

We know it's good.

We leave.

We never talk to anyone who has heard it.

And.

But you get, you can see, like, little comments on the, on the podcast platform, right?

We read the comments.

Yeah.

Right.

We read them all.

Right.

Don't read them.

Those people are jealous.

I love it.

You like the comments.

I just got a little bit.

I love the comments.

Yeah.

Okay.

Well, I look at most of them.

Yeah.

But they're jealous.

Do you want to have a chance to, we just had William H. Macy on and he, he did one.

I, yeah, I saw that.

He did want to speak to the commenters directly.

Do you want a chance to just like kind of make your introduce yourself?

Mm-hmm.

You say, like, we'd love to read some really good comments.

The kind of stuff you want to read comments about, just like what you're, just areas.

You don't have to dictate the actual language.

I mean, I, what are we saying?

What are we calling it?

The Egyptian.

The thread count.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The high thread count through.

High thread count.

Yes.

I want to walk like an Egyptian.

I would love to some kind of play on that for playing that zone with like a culture.

You want the kind of culture.

Yeah.

To be riffing on.

I like to hear.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I would be like, hey Egyptians.

Yes.

Okay.

But I don't want it.

I'm not talking about Egyptians.

Okay.

I'm talking about my thread spam.

So let's make that clear.

Hey Egyptians.

Not you.

Hey Egyptians.

I'm talking about my thread spam that heard us talking about the high thread count.

So anyway, I'd be like, hey Egyptians.

What's up?

It's your girl says.

I'm here.

Holly would handbook.

Please leave us a comment.

We love the feedback.

That's so good.

We should just use this for.

Yes.

We should just get this from everyone.

Let's give them an Egyptian.

Hello.

Like we do.

And what is that in your mind?

Like what is the Egyptian?

Hello in your mind?

Because it's.

It seems like you're very confident.

It's like ratio.

It's like ratio.

Yes.

Ratio us in the comments.

Yeah.

That's good.

I'm learning a lot of this stuff.

Yeah.

Ratio.

We have to.

You have to learn this stuff.

I mean, when we were coming up and I don't want to know all I am, but it wasn't part of the game.

Was it?

Nope.

Nope.

The ratio was.

The Egyptian hello.

You didn't have to define that.

The only ratio we knew about was ratio from friends.

Am I right?

And she went to you.

Yeah.

She had the hair style.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ratio.

Yeah.

So I'll do one too.

Oh, you're doing ratio.

I think that ratio from friends.

I guess ratio.

The.

Cuba.

Good.

Junior movie.

Sure.

Oh.

Yes.

And we all had to do what.

And you guys.

And you guys have used two of them.

My friend went as as radio for Halloween ones.

Oh, I thought it was a great costume.

Famous friend.

She's got a famous.

Okay.

Okay.

Good for her.

Her name is Rashida.

She was on jury duty.

A lot of people watch jury duty.

Yeah.

The new ones coming out.

Are you on it?

No.

No.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

People in there.

They surprise us with a.

Egyptian fam.

Get to Amazon.

Yeah.

Let them know.

Hey, tell free.

You're on jury duty too.

I know it's out.

But I'm sure they're still.

But still they can't get you in there.

I'm sure there's something.

The Mars didn't this thing.

Lee.

Like Jeff Bezos can't make something happen.

I think not.

No, he's got it.

He's got some little.

The.

Techniques.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

He can do.

He can make things happen.

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's pretty awesome.

I think I saw Billboard years recently that said 20 billion won.

20 billion is an insane number.

Yeah, 20 billion recovered.

It's actually, I think, somewhere north, probably closer to 22, 23 after this year.

And each year we get bigger and better and our army grows.

So the number will hopefully keep getting bigger and bigger as time goes on.

Awesome.

So how does someone get in contact with Morgan and Morgan?

Holy wood amp.

Is it distracting?

So you're performing in front of the news, basically, right?

Yeah, the news has to come.

Yeah, we're back to WHCD.

CD.

Should we anticipate different like reactions from it?

Like my understanding,

and I don't know how distracting this was,

is that David Muir snaps instead of clapping or laughing.

And so like you do a joke,

and he does a little light.

A cool snap.

It's very cool.

It's gonna give it up.

Yeah.

But if you get Muir,

you're like,

I'm good.

Okay, if you get that snap,

I'm good.

Well, because everyone's looking to house the bus.

They're watching him more than you.

Exactly.

And then they go,

A.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, it's like,

oh, you got Muir.

That's nice.

And I hear he has a kazoo.

Then he uses to react with.

Um, yeah.

He didn't, he didn't end up.

Did not end up busking out the kazoo for you.

Yeah.

Is he kind of reaching forward

and a shirt pocket like,

huh?

I've been there.

Yeah, he does it when he's like,

I'm about to.

He's like,

but he teases you a little bit.

Yeah, exactly.

And that actually can be the carrot at the end of the fishing rod.

He's slow.

He does one of those.

Too slow.

Oh, no, he hits you with the too slow.

Too slow.

That's slick.

Yeah.

That's stuck.

It's honestly though too

when you're on stage to see that.

It sucks if you never,

if you never get him.

But if it is a prey,

you know what?

To breaking it.

I got Muir.

As I always say,

that's the carrot on the end of the fishing pole from us.

I, I, I, I,

I have been working on something

because you gave this great acronym.

W-H-C-D.

Yeah.

And can we do anything with that?

Welcome to the W-H-C-D,

which of course stands for.

That's right.

You know, we've done,

we're doing wordplay.

We've done bad spellers on tight heat.

Yeah.

And we're,

and now we're doing,

right?

Something with this W-H-C-D.

And you've been working on this?

I've been thinking about,

we've got to have something for this.

Okay.

And I've been working on it a little bit.

Yeah.

So now you're putting me on the spot.

I would say that I,

you just said you'd been working.

Well, I wasn't listening

during all the David and you're snapping.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because I was going to talk.

You weren't adding letters.

No.

And that's not always,

you know, indicative of me not listening.

Sometimes it is me not having something,

which I also don't know.

And I'm going to,

I'm going to try to get through.

So it's W-H-C-D.

And I think it would be,

we have conquered democracy.

Wow.

Wow.

What now?

Look at that.

And that could really nice,

you know, you could really see it

a couple different ways.

Sure.

Yeah.

But it,

but also maybe it should be sillier.

And we have conquered democracy.

But the occasion is serious.

Oh, sure.

But maybe it should be sillier.

But I could see that really playing well.

What if he spelled conquered wrong?

That's what I think is it.

And going back to,

conquered Massachusetts,

or a bad spelling thing.

Yeah.

Because you are great.

Maybe it spelled out in grapes.

Conquer great.

We have conquered democracy.

We have conquered democracy.

Because we've got wine.

And everybody's there.

Yes.

That's right.

And we,

it's kind of like that to make your,

your wine.

Are you enjoying the wine?

I'll say we have conquered democracy.

Greg Bavino's in that you say,

you know, Greg Bavino's in the crowd.

Give it up, you know.

Yeah.

Yes.

Give it up.

Yes.

Give it up.

Give it up for me.

I guess you did already.

In Bavino Verita.

In Bavino Verita.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Greg Bavino Verita.

That's right.

That's really good.

Conquer grapes.

So we have now almost a minute of material.

What?

And it's nice because you definitely want it,

you know, you want to tall out people that are in the crowd.

Yes.

Like like crowd.

Well, it tells the camera is where to go too.

And he's being a good sport.

And Bavino.

Oh, not me.

Yes.

Yes.

He's doing that.

Oh, my God.

What is she going to say?

What is she going to say?

What is she going to say?

Because she got a crowd.

I'm, I'm that guy.

I see.

Yeah.

I knew I was supposed to sit in the front.

Oh, my God.

I know she's got something for me.

No.

It's about being short.

That's awesome.

And I'm like,

no, it's about wine, dude.

It's about wine.

It's about wine.

It's an acronym.

It's really fun.

And people are there to have fun.

And just like.

Yeah.

It's not the, it's not the night.

It's not the night for the nasty stuff.

No.

Like, you know, influencers are there.

And yeah, yeah, yeah.

Um, kind of, it's like who's who?

They call it nerd prom.

Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

Which I wouldn't say that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Which I wouldn't say that.

You wouldn't say that.

I wouldn't say that.

Are you worried about offending?

Yeah.

You're thinking that.

I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings.

Nerds.

You're thinking about the nerds.

I think you're thinking about that word.

You know, we used to talk a lot about nerds.

It's cool now.

Uh, the jocks and the bullies are pumping our gas.

And we've taken over the world.

And we stopped.

Right.

But it doesn't mean that that doesn't still live in our home.

I'd say like election 2024, right?

Yeah.

And we do, like, we do have a nerd who listens to the show.

Yeah.

A huge one.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's like a really, like, like a, like a nerd.

A huge nerd.

You ever watch Survivor?

No.

Oh.

Sorry.

There's this kind of conquered who won the show.

What's.

Anyway.

Oh.

That's okay.

That's cool.

I just don't want to say nerd from I.

He's a really nice guy.

I don't want to say nerd from and his mom is.

Yeah.

Nice too.

The survivor guy.

I just so I can look it up.

Yeah.

Cochrane.

C-O-C-H-R-A-N.

Cochrane.

Yeah.

Sounds like.

Well, and that you could make as a joke.

I think because that's kind of a cool joke at school.

You think he's heard it?

Yeah.

Probably at school, right?

I guess.

He played in the wrong class, learning about top rings.

And they're like, I'm learning about in class.

Yeah.

You're a, you're a Cochrane.

He's crazy about school.

He's a school.

He's a nerd.

Maniac.

Yeah.

School nut.

So I just don't, I don't want to go after him.

You know, we're doing this.

You're a guy.

He was on the show 10 years ago.

And then I'm going to make this episode during, you know, one of our most exciting...

March.

Yeah.

Times.

It's tri-month.

It's March.

Yeah.

We've got Sessley Strong here.

We're talking about like solving some huge problems.

Huge, huge problems.

The WHOC did.

And then I'm going to stop down to pick on, like, this guy, like, call him a nerd.

Like, just not, it doesn't make sense.

It's not a good way to do this episode, you know?

Yeah.

Okay.

Almost added that out when I said, you know, prom.

You know, prom, yeah.

Should you come on?

Yeah.

It's like bad bunny.

Oh.

Oh.

You're just like bad bunny and you look at President Mr. Trump and say, boo.

What was that?

Did we both do a noise?

What did you say?

Yeah.

Like, you say, boo.

Like, it's, it's scary to him, you know?

I was thinking like, boy.

Cause that's the sound that he makes.

I don't know.

Yeah.

Listen to this stuff.

I respect it.

Like, I love it.

Yeah.

People should be able to do different songs.

I love...

I love this.

I wish a lot of people would celebrate it with my baby.

And I just know, you know, the one part I can kind of sing along is like, boy, boy.

That part.

And she really likes that and I say it into her foot.

That part.

That part.

Yeah, that part.

that part. It's important for the baby to remember. This is like, thank you for reminding me of this

that you are still the talent. Yeah. And so crucial. They are the microphone at best and they're

lucky to be that. Your part of the show. You are not the show honey. Yeah. You're the audience

in the front seat and your foot is the microphone and you are being used to amplify the voice of

the talent and to inspire the talent. Yeah. I think it's like whoever has the most teeth

is going to be the star and that's a good like rule for me right now. Signal boost. Signal boost

that. Please signal boost that in the comments. All my Egyptian friends and listeners.

Well, now signal boost is what? And now signal boost that is like the people's mic. Yes. Okay.

I'm because I'm still learning. I'm doing a lot like this so that you can see my hands.

Well, yeah, I said it helps me trust you. No weapons. This isn't like a normal. I don't

normally talk with my hands up here, but I've wanted you to see. Yeah. A high 10 we could give

each other in a way over the zoom screen and let people know there's a connection here. All done.

Oh, Jeff. Isn't that? Yes, Jeff. All done. This is all done. Yes, Jeff.

Here's the thing about all done though that I've also worried for these babies. They'll do that

but they're not they're not no works. They haven't even started. So it's they start with all done.

So they'll do the all done. It's like no, you're not. And they mean this. Yeah. And you're like,

you mean this. You mean this, but it's actually going to be more right now. It's actually more right now.

This not it's no all done. No, all done. You ain't all done. No. You ain't all that and you ain't

all done. And this is why they're not the talent. Yeah. It's it's it's called show business not show

babies. Yeah. We teach them the more in the all done. It's like we tell you. Yeah.

You know, you don't tell us. Yeah. People are so concerned with their babies communicate with them,

but I go, they should just be listening right now. At this point, they should be listening.

There's very little they can tell me. Yes. Yeah. It's mainly. All the word she's going to know.

It's going to be from me. Yeah. And want to be nice when she's in her 30s. You're on stage

performing. I'm dead. No. No. Definitely. No, definitely don't say that. I'm just saying it's an

older pair. I love dark humor. You know, we all. Right. Sorry about that. You guys. There's a line we

don't cross. You are on stage. No, I'm looking at the email you sent and I'm sorry. No. Not

self-compassion. No. Dark humor number one on the list. Self-compassion. Yeah. I'm looking at that.

it. Yeah, it's not right. You're playing Annie on stage in 2059. Yes. And we are announcing

it tonight. I love this. Yes. And your daughter is sitting in the front row and just kind of

unconsciously lifting her foot. On the 59. So she's like, she's 18. No, wait, I'm using

my age. Sorry about that. I just added 18. I just added to my age, 2059. I acted like

I was going to be 59. I don't need to explain this. I don't need to explain myself.

Let me explain what just happened inside my head for that mistake. 2029, 2059 is in 33

years. Is in 33. So she's going to be just about 34. Yes. And you are on stage and I'm performing

as the character. I'm playing Annie. Yes. And her foot is just rising subconsciously.

Oh, the microphone. Because you're singing it. Her foot is the microphone. She needs to help

mommy. But you see her barefoot. Wow. The conditioning could be nice to have her at the

correspondence dinner too. Oh, even just for her to watch and realize who the real talent

is. You know, maybe teacher just for her to fill the energy of that room. Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. The letter C mommy cook as they say. Yeah. I'm that better. This is your. Yeah.

Where does this? You do this. All done, folks. All done. Yeah. And that's my time. I just

cooked. All done. All done. That could be really powerful. So we've got the ending. We've

got two jokes. I don't know if the WCD was a joke. Bad bunny fits. Right. What's the bad

bunny look that you feel like would sell it for you? You know, I guess I'm just I'm really

I'm just picturing only the the white outfit from the Super Bowl. That's kind of the only

thing that's coming to my mind right now. So maybe something like that or or like a t-shirt

that says Puerto Rico. Don't he have big shoulders? I think so. Aren't you from the city of

big shoulders? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. All done. Yeah. All done. Got to be something there

with the shoulders. Yeah. And you say Puerto Rico. This is our thing. Mm-hmm. Yeah. She said

this is now Chicago's here to collect. Yes. Yes. That's good. Yeah. Kind of say. Are you

your own idea? Are you open to joking around about your name? Mm-hmm. I would love that. Yeah.

I mean, your last name is a word. Strong. Hello. I've been trying to. I've been working. I haven't

been really listening for a while. Yep. So I've been trying to figure something out with your name,

which I feel like there has to be something. Again, I don't know if this is. Did you just miss all

the Puerto Rican stuff? Wow. Even a lot of you didn't even know there was Puerto Rican stuff. Even hearing

that happened. Because usually I'm like I'm Puerto Rican stuff. Yeah. Like you usually have a lot you

want to do. It's one of my pet interests. But I did miss it. And I will have the great pleasure of

listening to this episode alone in my car and chiming in with all of the little jokes and

observations I could have made about Puerto Rican stuff. I mean, like, well, why didn't I say that?

I don't, but I know regrets. I don't say that. I say, if this ever comes up again, I'll say this.

Because we do have the same six or seven conversations on the podcast over and over.

Okay. I guess. Yeah. 13 years. So the. So you're doing the podcast. 2059. Yeah, we're doing that.

What's your first, what's your first, um, like discussion? The first question for the first

episode. Jamie, where I go, I go, I go, I go. Here's our guest. I'm doing Annie. Yeah. Well,

I say here's our guest. You can catch her right now on Broadway and Annie. Oh my god. Don't sit next

to her daughter. If you don't want to smell any. He knew. But ladies and gentlemen, this is

Sessley strong. Any relation to Boston strong. Oh, that's nice. So that I've got. I've introduced

you as that. You know, I say this is, of course, a return guest. This is her second time on the show.

We say roll the clip. We go all the way back for everyone. It's getting hollow,

hologramed in a people's apartment. Because that's probably how podcasts are then.

You've hopefully watched last in the interim. We played runner 2049, which at that point

will have been 10 years ago. 10 years. The old news. Yeah.

On a day, armist living robotically in your apartment. Do you see that movie? Have you seen that one?

No. No. What is it about media that you find so distasteful that I will. Well, like I said,

I will watch the HBO Max show curious case of the curious. Yeah. I'm really. I'm a real

docu series. Some reality kind of person. Not survivor. And not survivor. Unfortunately. Yeah.

Not last night runner. Not last night runner. Didn't seem that familiar with Annie when we brought it

up. Can I just say? Oh, I know. Yeah. That looked anything out. Yeah. You're in Annie and look

at her face was. Uh oh. No, I that was like, I punched the 12 year old inside me like, no,

we're not doing that now. You have a freaking reputation. The Egyptian, the Egyptian thread

hive is on here. Please do not say Annie. Do you want to say goodbye to them? Like most of our guests

like don't really say goodbye to the commenters. Yeah. You can feel that. We know the commenters are

really kind of hurt by their leaving comments, but there's a little bit of a okay, goodbye, I guess.

A stung sort of undertone there. And so yes, if you could give them a farewell, I know you did

the all done signal with your hands. A lot of people leave the comments are not the people who

subscribe to the video tier. Really? Yes. How do you find that out? Even.

I live in this world. I just, yes, I am grinding on the subscription names. We love

items. And I'm cross referencing that with all their social media accounts. Yeah. And like,

was that IP address, right? IP address. I just really love the fans. I just really love our fans.

I would have none of this this tiny water, but I wouldn't have any of it without them. Think

about that. Say fans. Thank you for getting through this with us. I love you. I'll see you at

the W HCD. I'll see you at Annie 2059. I'll see you at MSG for fish next New Year's.

And but more importantly, I'll see you on threads, Egyptians. And maybe say just like a little

good night because they're about to go to bed. And maybe the getting through this with us felt a

little bit. It's cute. I know it did what I said it. It didn't to me. So maybe just like, don't worry,

that's just about me. They're also kind of worried. They have this thing. They're worried that

their ears are going to get too hot. But they know, like, I talk about a lot of personal stuff with

them. So they know what I mean. Just on the side, just another, like, wait, I guess for like

everyone else. Yeah. Oh, for okay. I guess like, good night, um, sleep well.

And I hope things are less crazy when we wake up tomorrow. And we're working for that

with this podcast. Okay. So they're saying that you actually shut the door too loud when you

were leaving the room. And they're mad. That actually made them really upset. Oh,

and they're crying. I know. No, no, that was I wasn't mad. That wasn't mad. I actually,

that was an accident. I kind of slipped. And I'm so sorry. I just shut it. No, they're worried about

you. You want to know you're okay. What and what you said on, no, I'm okay. There was water

on the floor. I think because it was raining inside because it was raining outside. And I walked

with the boots covered in it. With the galoshes. Yeah, my gloss is like, come off by the floor,

but I'm when I take them off, you pull them off your feet, you know, and they kind of goes everywhere.

You know, let me take a crack at it. Bye.

Okay. Oh, hello, it is Ryan. And we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we?

This is Julian Edelman from Games with Names. I want to take a second to talk about something

that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time.

And one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate.

As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of. But I also know what it feels like to

be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance against hate

that aired during the big game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're

targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is

enough. And you can show support by sharing the Blue Square.

Listen, we've seen what's out there for patio furniture. And what you've been paying is outrageous.

But that was last season you before you ditch the specialty stores and started saving more
