- This is a pot-color original.
00:00:02
- So I'm putting you on the spot.
00:00:05
Can you do the laugh scream at the same time right now?
00:00:09
- During the whole of Wizards, I had type 1 diabetes just to know about it.
00:00:15
- The interesting thing is, I am a fucking grandfather now.
00:00:20
I'm not the dad, I'm the grandfather.
00:00:22
- How does that make you feel?
00:00:23
- Old.
00:00:25
- There's a great curb your episode.
00:00:27
The curb your enthusiasm for the episode.
00:00:29
And they actually mentioned Wizards or wherever they placed it.
00:00:32
- I do really.
00:00:33
- You mean like when we teach acting at AGB actors giving back gents to-- - I can't give you-- - You're gonna give your big foot, Mug.
00:00:38
(upbeat music)
00:00:41
♪ Welcome to Wizards of Waverly Pond ♪ ♪ In your butt ♪ (laughing)
00:00:53
- I love that I've been 12-year-old sons of humor that in your butt makes me giggle.
00:00:57
- I didn't lose money.
00:00:59
- I don't, I'm not a huge part of it.
00:01:01
I don't like fart humor.
00:01:02
- Really?
00:01:03
- I don't.
00:01:04
My ex used to like hot box in bed and it was the worst.
00:01:06
- Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:01:07
Gents Stone.
00:01:08
- What?
00:01:08
- Hot boxing is torture, not comedy.
00:01:11
- I agree, but he would think it would still be fun.
00:01:14
It's still funny to pull the covers up and then fart in bed and then we're, I mean he's an ex for a reason.
00:01:19
- Do you think everybody knows what hot boxing is?
00:01:21
- I'm probably not.
00:01:22
- For people who don't know, it's when you're with your loved one and you want them to love you more.
00:01:28
You fart under the covers.
00:01:30
- That's not what hot boxing is.
00:01:31
- Wait, this is my hot boxing.
00:01:32
You let it sit there and then you waft the cover.
00:01:36
- I hate it.
00:01:37
- And then it goes in.
00:01:38
- It's your definition of hot boxing.
00:01:40
- Hot boxing is when you're like in a car smoking weed and there's lots of like clouds of smoke and you all get high, you get like a contact high.
00:01:46
That's hot boxing.
00:01:48
- I thought we were talking about farting.
00:01:50
- Yeah, but hot boxing in general is that.
00:01:52
But I'm saying you're doing that getting a contact high with farts and ammonia.
00:01:55
- What are we talking about?
00:01:56
- So your boyfriend, not in bed, would-- - No, he wouldn't.
00:02:00
- In the car.
00:02:02
- No.
00:02:03
- How does he hotbox you in the bed?
00:02:04
- Because this covers her over.
00:02:06
It's exactly what you just said.
00:02:07
- Oh, wait a minute.
00:02:08
- The covers are over.
00:02:09
- Yeah.
00:02:09
- And then I have to like breathe, then he wafts it.
00:02:12
And I'm like, ugh.
00:02:13
- I've never done that.
00:02:14
I've done it to myself.
00:02:16
- Oh my god.
00:02:17
- This has gone off the rails.
00:02:19
- Okay, best in return.
00:02:20
- It's a way really fun.
00:02:21
- Please.
00:02:22
- I'm so sorry to everybody.
00:02:24
- Yeah, I am too.
00:02:25
I'm also whatever.
00:02:26
Okay, so season two episode 14, helping hand.
00:02:29
First aired February 16th, 2009, written by J.
00:02:33
Baxter and Sean Zacken, directed by our sweet darling Bob Kohar.
00:02:36
- Bob Kohar the best.
00:02:38
- All right, so we start the episode with you, Mr.
00:02:40
Jerry, handing the kids a list of chores in the substation, Justin Vincenze Pepe Russo, which is Justin's full name, and forms Jerry that as much as he loves chores because Alex hates them,
00:02:51
he's too busy working on his own spell for wizard certification.
00:02:54
- Right.
00:02:55
- Granted, how is this any different from Make-A-Mobs?
00:02:57
Remember the spell of the Make-A-Mobs spell?
00:02:59
- I wrote that down, I wrote down that spell.
00:03:00
I was like, wait a minute.
00:03:01
- How is different?
00:03:03
- It's different 'cause the writers say it's different, I guess, but it's interesting because Make-A-Mobs, every single Make-A-Mop,
00:03:13
could be a certified thing.
00:03:15
- Okay.
00:03:16
- You know, they should have clarified.
00:03:17
I would have said, you should have clarified.
00:03:20
You know, yeah, we have Make-A-Mobs, but this one has to have a specific-- - Maybe what it is.
00:03:27
- It's gonna be validated, but-- - You know how you get things copyrighted, right?
00:03:31
So maybe so Make-A-Mobs, you can just throw at anything, it's anybody's game, whatever.
00:03:36
But maybe the certified spell is like you present a spell and they copyright it, so it's like getting a patent or a copyrighted thing, which makes sense.
00:03:45
- Yet it doesn't hold because every single Make-A-Mop, you could get a copyright on, you know?
00:03:51
- Excuse me, so you're saying our show was an airtight.
00:03:54
- What?
00:03:55
- Anyway, so Jerry assigns Justin's chorees to Alex and Max to do.
00:03:59
Alex is busy going to the Confidential Creature feature where they project a movie on a building, but you don't know the movie or location until they get the text.
00:04:06
- And that is very much inspired for people who don't know the Hollywood forever cemetery, they would screen on the-- - They still do.
00:04:17
- Yeah, and it's really fun.
00:04:19
- I've went to, it happened one night there once, which was fantastic.
00:04:23
I wanted to go to, they just, have you seen Empire Records?
00:04:27
- Yeah.
00:04:27
- With like, Liv Tyler, Meneza Winger, and like, no, Empire Records.
00:04:32
- Empire Records, you're thinking of-- - I was thinking of High Fidelity.
00:04:34
- Yes, you're thinking of High Fidelity.
00:04:35
Empire Records is like a very like reality bites, but they're all in a record store.
00:04:40
- Yes, I was confusing it, sorry.
00:04:42
I know what you're talking about, yeah.
00:04:44
- But yeah, I wanted to see that when they were playing that one, which was so good.
00:04:47
- And not all about Eve.
00:04:51
Letter to Daddy, Betty Davis.
00:04:58
Don't Crawford, what's the-- - Oh, it's one of my favorites, I love.
00:05:03
What was it?
00:05:04
- Yes, it ever happened to Baby Jane, everybody.
00:05:07
- Yes, it ever happened to Baby Jane.
00:05:07
- Thank you, Lord.
00:05:09
Thank you, Baby Jane, upstairs.
00:05:11
- Thank you, Dylan.
00:05:12
- Yes, thank you, Dylan.
00:05:13
Yes, whatever happened to Baby Jane, they were played that I wanted to see recently.
00:05:16
- Anyway, but now the movie and the show, we don't know yet until it's texted.
00:05:20
And by the way, this is cool.
00:05:22
This is, I mean, yes, it's like the Hollywood forever cemetery, but everybody knows.
00:05:25
I like the fact that you're like in the know if your number's there and you get a text you don't have to go, you know?
00:05:31
- But it's so like new Beverly Cinemide, so like, you know, all of the cool, there's a lot of places like this that our writers were very much those people where we were all just like film buffs and comedy buffs and things like that.
00:05:44
So if they had any like underground screening or something, they knew about it, you know?
00:05:49
Okay, so, have you gone to a screening though?
00:05:53
- At the Hollywood forever.
00:05:54
- Yeah, would you see?
00:05:55
- I don't remember.
00:05:57
It was a long time ago, but what I do did go there.
00:05:59
I know this is different, but they did less work days.
00:06:03
- Oh yeah.
00:06:04
- They do that and my friend painted my face and I looked like Coco.
00:06:08
- I want to see pictures.
00:06:09
You have to see some pictures.
00:06:10
- I'll show you.
00:06:11
- Can't we pictures?
00:06:12
Okay, so later Justin is in the layer mixing potions to cast his original spell.
00:06:16
We didn't do potions a lot.
00:06:17
- No.
00:06:18
- We were not, we were spell people.
00:06:19
We were not big potions.
00:06:20
- Although there is on my audition tape, there was a potion commotion.
00:06:24
- Oh, yeah.
00:06:24
- It was one of my favorite, I don't know, I really liked it.
00:06:28
I was like, pick a potion, any potion and all the bottles are out there.
00:06:32
And then he goes to pick one.
00:06:33
I go, not that one.
00:06:34
Not that one.
00:06:35
This one.
00:06:36
Okay.
00:06:37
- So, for his original spell, XX extra hand, take a stand, give us a hand, which is a woman's hand that will lend a hand to busy wizards and proceeds to scratch Jerry's back because he's so busy he cannot scratch his own back.
00:06:51
- And I don't know if that's a real thing or not that they got, but it's so funny because there's a line where I was like, that's my back scratcher.
00:06:57
I keep it in between my mattress and the this when Jerry's and doesn't want to scratch my back.
00:07:03
But I have a back scratcher by my bed on purpose.
00:07:07
- I think the writers paid attention to you like with the like the Bucking Bronco.
00:07:11
I think there were like deliuses a lot of stuff that can inspire Jerry.
00:07:14
- That's the thing, I can't reach the center of my back.
00:07:17
There's an area of that.
00:07:19
- Well, there's yogi people that, you know, that's, that's, sorry, that's not scratching your back noise.
00:07:25
But there's people who can do that.
00:07:27
Who can, who can, you can do it.
00:07:30
- But I can't scratch.
00:07:31
I can reach it, but I can't scratch.
00:07:33
- All right, well, I have a back scratcher.
00:07:35
I have a lot of professional back scratchers.
00:07:37
- But it's interesting because Max's spell is not a spell.
00:07:41
- Well, but Max, we'll get that, we'll get there.
00:07:43
- Okay, sorry.
00:07:43
- You're jumping ahead per use.
00:07:45
Okay, so there's scratching Jerry's back.
00:07:50
Jerry suggests they write the superintendent of spells and get the spell certified.
00:07:53
Then the hand, two slows, Justin's high five attempt.
00:07:57
So then we're in the loft with Harper and Alex washing dishes, like I can't speak today.
00:08:02
They were on a podcast.
00:08:04
When she decides.
00:08:04
We're really funny.
00:08:06
This series of episodes that are kind of coming up here, I think we really were following.
00:08:12
- We found our flow.
00:08:13
- Yeah, like it was funny.
00:08:14
There were a lot of kind of jokes to be jokes that really worked.
00:08:18
And you know, your guys' chemistry was really matching.
00:08:23
And I was finding it very funny.
00:08:24
- No, I feel like mid season two, we started to kind of get who our characters were.
00:08:30
We got, the writers were sort of like spitballing from our own lives, like your back scratcher.
00:08:37
And like, and that was, it was all kind of coming together.
00:08:42
That sense of play and like a malgamation of character and actors and styles and things like that.
00:08:47
You can really see it start to come together around at this point.
00:08:50
- Right, and I walk in.
00:08:52
You guys are doing the dishes and I walk in and I've got the hand on my shoulder.
00:08:57
And what do you say?
00:09:00
You're like, your dad has a hand on his shoulder and it's severed.
00:09:04
And I don't know if I should laugh or cry.
00:09:07
- Someone to do both.
00:09:07
- Yeah, and so I'm putting you on the spot.
00:09:10
Can you do the laugh scream at the same time right now?
00:09:14
- I'm sure I can.
00:09:15
It's because it's the...
00:09:17
(laughing)
00:09:20
- It's that thing, right?
00:09:21
- It's super good.
00:09:22
- It is, of course, it's a good thing.
00:09:23
- Which is me and internally in every social situation.
00:09:26
- And also you look so young in the...
00:09:28
- No.
00:09:29
- What are you, 15, 16 in season two?
00:09:33
- I was 14 in the first...
00:09:34
Yeah, so I had to have been like 15.
00:09:36
I'm probably like 16 for example.
00:09:37
Yeah, I look like a baby.
00:09:38
There's some, oh my god.
00:09:39
There's some where I'm like...
00:09:41
'Cause during the whole of Wizards, I had type one diabetes just to know about it.
00:09:47
So there's a lot of stuff where I'm like, oh, I'm inflamed this episode.
00:09:50
'Cause you're like, you'll see my face is like really puffy and one.
00:09:53
'Cause like, it's still...
00:09:54
- It affects you, it makes you puffy.
00:09:55
- Yeah, so like, it's...
00:09:58
And I still have this today where it's like, if I have like really bad blood sugars, my face gets puffy.
00:10:02
Like I start to like get kind of swollen almost.
00:10:05
And then there's some episodes where I'm like, that's what was happening there.
00:10:08
I just had no idea.
00:10:09
And I took a lot of naps, which now makes a lot of sense.
00:10:13
'Cause my...
00:10:13
- Well, wait a minute.
00:10:14
I mean, I guess it was a symptom of the diabetes.
00:10:18
But naps, they've done research now, where if you do a nap, you're whatever.
00:10:23
- 20 minutes or 90 minutes.
00:10:25
- I don't know.
00:10:26
- Whatever it is.
00:10:27
- No, that's what it is.
00:10:28
- But it extends your life expectancy, or what are you know?
00:10:32
- Well, none of us are sleeping enough.
00:10:33
- I'm gonna take a nap right now.
00:10:34
(buzzer)
00:10:36
- Good morning.
00:10:37
- We're so, we're so late.
00:10:38
No, 'cause none of us sleep enough.
00:10:41
And then we go to sleep and we're like scrolling and stuff with all the blue light that keeps you up.
00:10:45
And so yeah, I'm sure our bodies are needing naps now more than after.
00:10:49
- You know what I do now?
00:10:49
And where the...
00:10:50
- Blue light blocking.
00:10:51
- No, no, no, I don't know.
00:10:52
But it's just the blockers on your face, you know?
00:10:55
Like glasses?
00:10:55
- No, no, like a, like a, an eye mask.
00:10:59
- Oh yeah, I do that too.
00:11:00
- And now I have ear putter inners that...
00:11:03
- What if somebody breaks into the house?
00:11:05
- Well, Yulio will listen in here.
00:11:07
- 'Cause she's just wide awake like this.
00:11:09
- Well, if I'm by myself, I can't put those in 'cause they don't even hear the alarm.
00:11:12
But when...
00:11:14
- I just see you like at a complete like hazmat suit.
00:11:16
And she's just like wide awake.
00:11:17
- Put that neck brace.
00:11:19
- Okay.
00:11:20
(laughs)
00:11:21
- Neck brace.
00:11:21
- Well, just like a holding place, you know, like just being, you know?
00:11:25
- I don't know why that's your sleeping sound.
00:11:26
(grunts)
00:11:28
Okay, we're getting loopy and we're just getting started.
00:11:32
- Okay.
00:11:33
- I'm really kind of a butt head in this episode.
00:11:35
Because...
00:11:36
- We all take turns being butt head.
00:11:37
- Well, when Max is like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, do this thing and I'm gonna shit.
00:11:41
And you can put stuff on the refrigerator and it's tape.
00:11:44
And I'm like, I think at one point I say, he really makes it hard to be proud of him.
00:11:50
- Yeah, you do.
00:11:51
You do it.
00:11:52
Lion is so rough because the whole thing is like, he decides that he's gonna come up with something for the wizard, like the spell council as well.
00:11:59
And he's coming up with just stupid shit of like, you know, the Russo double sided sticky something.
00:12:04
And you're like so taped.
00:12:05
- And then there's one thing where he, I mean, we're getting ahead of ourselves.
00:12:09
But we'll talk about that later.
00:12:11
- Taylor's all this time.
00:12:12
- But when he gets poofed out with his foot thing, - Excuse me.
00:12:16
- He comes back and he has the story of where he was.
00:12:20
- Yeah, oh, it's my favorite.
00:12:21
No, no, no, we have to get back to the poofing.
00:12:23
- But I am being a little, Justin is my favorite son, kind of sitting here in this episode.
00:12:29
And I look good too, by the way.
00:12:31
- You look great.
00:12:32
You look great, baby.
00:12:34
- Probably like 30 pounds lighter than I am now.
00:12:37
- Well, that happens.
00:12:40
Maybe if you didn't take so many naps, maybe you didn't take so many naps.
00:12:44
- No, that was so cheesy.
00:12:47
Anyway, I completely lost.
00:12:50
- So we're in there, Max comes out, says he's gonna come up with stuff and he's coming up with stupid shit like tape.
00:12:59
And that is gonna, 'cause the whole thing is we wanna put the Russo name on the Wizard's map.
00:13:03
The Russo sticky strips, Justin and Jerry shoot that down.
00:13:06
- They really hit me this one, 'cause it's how do we get the Russo name to live on?
00:13:12
- Yeah.
00:13:13
- And the, with grandkids, you know how you, that's how you do.
00:13:21
I say, it's either gonna be this spell or it's gonna be grandkids.
00:13:25
Well now Jerry Russo has grandkids from the sequel.
00:13:28
- It's true.
00:13:29
- Which is very interesting.
00:13:31
I've only met them once.
00:13:33
- Well, it's good because this didn't work out.
00:13:37
The Justin being famous for this hand spell didn't work out.
00:13:41
So it had to be grandkids.
00:13:42
- And the interesting thing is, I am a fucking grandfather now.
00:13:48
I'm not the dad.
00:13:49
I'm the grandfather.
00:13:51
- Yeah, how does that make you feel?
00:13:52
- Old.
00:13:54
No.
00:13:55
The, oh was that the, the grandkids, the therapist, no bad, yeah.
00:14:00
- But I like that you thought that I vomit like that.
00:14:02
- I didn't, I didn't realize that.
00:14:04
I mean, listen.
00:14:05
- You didn't, you shot the whole thing.
00:14:07
- You could have had a baby.
00:14:08
I had a baby who was 21.
00:14:09
- Yeah, I mean, my dad's given up.
00:14:11
He literally said to my mom a few years ago, he's like, I'm never getting a grandchild in my aunt.
00:14:15
I was like, nope.
00:14:16
- You don't think your brother's gonna have a kid maybe or?
00:14:18
- Maybe, I mean, I don't know.
00:14:19
I don't want kids, so.
00:14:21
- Kids are better than the adults.
00:14:23
(laughing)
00:14:24
- I don't want everybody.
00:14:25
Get a dog.
00:14:26
- Yeah, I don't want him.
00:14:27
I love animals.
00:14:28
I love animals so much.
00:14:29
I have no interest in children.
00:14:31
- Listen, Tony, everybody knows Tony, right?
00:14:33
- Tony, Tony, who does a no Tony?
00:14:35
- When your teenager, you come home, they slam the door, and they tell you to go fuck yourself, and you're like, what did I do?
00:14:43
But when you come in and your dog sees you, it's like unconditional love.
00:14:48
Well, dogs can still have a teenage phase.
00:14:50
The difference is is they frown upon great training teenagers.
00:14:54
- Can't do that.
00:14:54
- Well done.
00:14:55
- You cannot create training a teenager.
00:14:57
They don't like that.
00:14:58
- Like God knows I tried.
00:14:59
- CPS gets called.
00:15:00
Anyway.
00:15:02
- DCSF, right?
00:15:03
- DCFS, CPS.
00:15:04
- You don't wanna know this?
00:15:06
- 'Cause they were, ooh, hoo hoo.
00:15:08
- I'm not gonna say it.
00:15:08
- Did you know, so my brother and I, this is a very much a side, and then we will give back to the episode I promise for ones of our lives.
00:15:14
But, so, CPS was called on us, because my brother and I bruise really easily.
00:15:20
Like, I'm still covered in bruises.
00:15:22
We just are very pale, probably anemic Victorian children.
00:15:27
- Right.
00:15:28
- So, he went to school and like, had a bruise from who knows what, and the teacher was like, oh no, this is terrible.
00:15:35
So she reported, but he had bruises in various stages of healing, which is a sign of abuse.
00:15:40
And we, but yeah, we were just anemic children.
00:15:44
So, they came to the house, and my mom said she saw me, 'cause the lady goes, she, they interview just both separately and, and she goes, so, do you feel safe at home and she saw me look at her,
00:15:56
kind of look back at the lady and go, um, 'cause I was thinking of like, if I say, no, what adventure do I get to go on?
00:16:03
Where do I get to go?
00:16:04
- Oh, Jen, you had the power in your hands.
00:16:06
- Yeah, I know, I was very, like, three.
00:16:07
I was like, oh, what does this mean?
00:16:09
I can, I can do something about it.
00:16:10
And she's like, you know what?
00:16:11
If you say, no, take her, you can just take her.
00:16:13
(laughing)
00:16:15
It's interesting because, like, my parents' generation, they got hit with rulers and switching and all that stuff, but-- - My parents still did that.
00:16:22
- Really?
00:16:23
- Yeah, are you kidding?
00:16:24
- Well, shit, well, I mean, that's not allowed.
00:16:26
You're not allowed to-- - Not anymore, but my brother and I turned out okay?
00:16:29
- Yeah, I guess you did.
00:16:31
Um, and it's interesting, and I'm not gonna tell anybody how to parent, but, nowadays-- - We know what Dulley's I am.
00:16:37
- No.
00:16:38
(laughing)
00:16:39
- But if you do something like that, it's just-- - Oh, no, no, you're done.
00:16:42
You're done.
00:16:43
- Well, I think we're a society that, like, overcracks, right?
00:16:47
So, I think that's too much, right?
00:16:50
Like, you know, getting a belt or a switch or whatever.
00:16:53
That was what-- No, my grandma-- - That was physical violence.
00:16:56
- Yeah, like, maybe not the best thing.
00:16:58
I mean, but I grew up in Texas.
00:16:59
Like, there was a lot of, like, you know, intense farm stuff.
00:17:03
- Right.
00:17:04
- But, um, yeah, so, maybe too much, but now where it's like, we never admonish our children at all.
00:17:10
I mean, I've literally seen parents bring their kid that got drunk in, like, seven a.m.
00:17:15
at school.
00:17:16
And the mom's going, oh, no, honey, are you okay?
00:17:17
I'm like, my mother would decapitate me if I was drunk in school.
00:17:21
- There's a great curbure episode, curbure enthusiasm episode.
00:17:25
And they actually mention wizards or wherever they place them.
00:17:27
- I do, really?
00:17:28
- Where Larry David goes over to the house and says something, and then the, you know, that whatever, the 11-year-old girl, everybody's cow-towing to her.
00:17:37
- It's wild.
00:17:38
- And he's like, who the fuck is in charge here, you know?
00:17:40
Like, and then they have a competition.
00:17:42
Like, Larry David in this 11-year-old girl are seeing who has the power, you know?
00:17:47
- No, but it's so true though.
00:17:48
I've literally had, like, with three year olds or something, I've had parents go, he's ready to go.
00:17:52
I'm like, he's three.
00:17:53
He's not ready for anything.
00:17:54
Like, he's ready for bed, maybe, he's ready for a snack.
00:17:57
That's it.
00:17:58
He's not dictating what we're doing.
00:18:00
Like, that's insane.
00:18:00
- I think it's spanked twice.
00:18:03
I guess it's spanked.
00:18:03
- Twice your whole life?
00:18:04
- Yeah.
00:18:05
- I lost a rag.
00:18:05
- Oh, wow.
00:18:08
But a build-in character.
00:18:11
Anyway.
00:18:12
- Okay, so we're in the kitchen.
00:18:13
Now you and Selena are right.
00:18:14
- We're out of the kitchen.
00:18:15
We're gonna use the helping hand.
00:18:17
- Yes, because Justin is still just stacking up.
00:18:19
Being like, I'm too busy to iron my shirt for the presentation.
00:18:22
Alex, you do it.
00:18:23
So she's like, screw this.
00:18:24
We're gonna use the helping hand.
00:18:25
So the helping hand is brushing.
00:18:27
Then we cut to Alex's room.
00:18:29
The helping hand is brushing the fuzzy pink wall, which we got in the magic carpet.
00:18:33
- Right.
00:18:34
- And Alex's room has never been so clean.
00:18:36
And Harper gets the creature feature text, and the movie is night of the Halloween sorority party disaster.
00:18:42
- Three.
00:18:42
- Which I just love that we keep going back to and we utilize that, you know what I mean?
00:18:47
- A lot of callback.
00:18:48
- Yeah.
00:18:48
- Exactly, which was great.
00:18:50
- Well, but even with the fuzzy pink walls, that was in Alex's locker.
00:18:54
There was such attention to detail of creating a whole universe, which was so nice.
00:18:59
So now all they need is the location text.
00:19:01
The helping hand refuses to leave its box to do more chores and Harper prompts Alex to not make the freaky hand upset.
00:19:07
We'll just do it ourselves.
00:19:08
And Alex demands the hand finishes and the hand flies out of the room and the notion of doing more of Alex's chores.
00:19:15
The hand is done.
00:19:16
She has been abused.
00:19:17
She's flying out of the room.
00:19:18
She's done.
00:19:19
- How was this hand flying around?
00:19:20
And what doesn't it just leave?
00:19:21
If it can fly and it's gonna attitude, you know?
00:19:24
- But I guess there's a limit, right?
00:19:26
Like I guess it's whole purpose for being is helping wizards do chores, but she's abused it.
00:19:31
So now all of a sudden it's just prr out the door.
00:19:32
- I think there's this expensive disbelief thing because there's a moment where the hand later is sleeping and you hear a snoring noise.
00:19:41
- Which from where?
00:19:42
- I know, right?
00:19:44
- Yeah, 'cause it's very, like it reminded me a lot of like the thing in Adam's family.
00:19:47
But even that, like any, I know this is like gross 'cause it's just the word orifice.
00:19:52
But like the wrist part is not like open.
00:19:56
It's not like you see like tendons and bones and muscles and stuff.
00:19:58
It's just like closed off.
00:19:59
So yeah, where is it coming from?
00:20:00
Like her pores?
00:20:02
- I don't know from the wizard magic of the world.
00:20:05
- From the land of the dragon dog.
00:20:07
So back in the loft, Max is working on more spell ideas, like his back scratcher, which connected to a toothbrush by a wire hanger called the Rousseau Tooth and Back Brush.
00:20:16
We can brush your teeth and scratch your back at the same time 'cause that you need to do.
00:20:21
Theresa asked him if he's making an antenna talk to Martians.
00:20:24
And this line was my favorite.
00:20:25
He goes, "Where wizards?
00:20:27
Why does everyone think Martians are so weird?"
00:20:28
- Right, and now it goes by the way.
00:20:30
We're seeing all the military or releasing all these videos and everything.
00:20:37
- But can we also just talk about like we were so burnt out in the pandemic that like that was when the FBI was like, oh, by the way, Martians are real, extraterrestrials are real and all of us were like sure.
00:20:48
Why not?
00:20:49
It was such an under the radar, under reactive thing.
00:20:52
- Yeah, there was like a hearing.
00:20:53
There was like a whistle blowing.
00:20:54
- Yeah, they were just like, yeah, it's real and all of us were like, that tracks.
00:20:57
- This is my take.
00:21:00
I do think that there's, you know, it's not so much that they look all weird.
00:21:05
I think that there's different species.
00:21:09
And I think there's a lot of like not just crafts and stuff, but astro projection kind of thing.
00:21:15
- But David, I think it is so egotistical to think that we're just not-- - The universe is so vast and so massive and black holes and different dimensions and all that kind of stuff.
00:21:25
- I'm agree with you.
00:21:26
- No, I know, we're on the same page.
00:21:28
But it's like, so for anyone to be like, this is it.
00:21:31
This is all you get.
00:21:31
It's like the most egotistical thing ever.
00:21:33
- I think humans are pretty statistical.
00:21:36
- We are.
00:21:36
- We're an invasive species.
00:21:38
- But I am all down with the aliens being real and that happening and, you know.
00:21:45
- I'm down with you guys.
00:21:47
(laughing)
00:21:48
- Well, I want to go back to one thing.
00:21:49
- Yeah.
00:21:50
- I don't know who it is or whatever, but you know, you see on the TikToks, the TTs or the Instagrams.
00:21:55
- There's a woman who is working at an office and you've got Jen Exers calling in and it's like, she's like, hi, and the phone is like,
00:22:06
hey, this is, you know, a Melissa's boyfriend.
00:22:10
Like, she's not like into work today.
00:22:13
So she's not coming in and the woman's like, well, it's her job.
00:22:19
- Yeah, you have to come in.
00:22:20
- Yeah, but she's not really feeling it, you know.
00:22:23
I mean, the excuses, the entitlement, I guess you would say or the like, I'm not coming 'cause I broke a nail.
00:22:32
So like, and the fact that Jen Exers, I'm sorry, Jen Exers, that they think it's okay to say, I stub my toes so I can't work today.
00:22:42
- Jen Zee.
00:22:42
- Is it Jen Zee?
00:22:43
- It's Jen Zee.
00:22:44
Well, no, but again, I think that goes back to what we were talking about earlier over correction, right?
00:22:47
Of like, yes, so I think the boomers and like Jen X, they devoted too much of their life to jobs that didn't care, right?
00:22:56
And then now Jen Zee's seeing that being like, well, I don't want that for my millennials or cotton in the middle.
00:23:00
We're just like, we're just trying to hold it together.
00:23:02
But Jen Zee's seeing that and being like, well, I don't want that for my life.
00:23:05
I want to care about my mental health.
00:23:06
I want to have a full life outside of work.
00:23:08
I don't want to be defined by work, but we're overdoing it now.
00:23:10
- Right, and I'm like, thinking to myself, while you're talking, why is that happening, right?
00:23:16
So my thought process is we're not going, okay, you're fucking fired then moving on.
00:23:21
You know what I mean?
00:23:22
- Well, but it's also too like, it's happening, I think, because Jen Zee is seeing like, this didn't make my parents happy to have their life, to give decades of their life to a job and then get to 65 and they boot them out.
00:23:34
And like, don't take care of them, you know?
00:23:36
- You misunderstand me.
00:23:36
I'm all about, you know, but I agree with you.
00:23:39
Why we're not holding them accountable, I don't know.
00:23:41
- Right, right.
00:23:42
But I mean, the model of, work your whole life, vacation for two weeks in a year and then at 65, I'm like, fuck that, you know,
00:23:52
and don't listen to me, everybody, but I'm like, what is going on with spending so much money on going to get an education and a school rather than putting it,
00:24:06
yeah, and then you're in debt for the rest of your life.
00:24:10
- It doesn't, there was something I saw where it was like, you know, in Europe, they're like, oh, I'll work for two weeks and then I'll take two weeks off, which I knew was like an over exaggeration of what that system looks like,
00:24:23
but then they were like in America, it's like, I've got two weeks to have open heart surgery, that's why, you know, what is true?
00:24:28
It's true.
00:24:29
- A friend of ours is having a surgery on Tuesday and in Germany, you have a surgery and then you stay in the hospital and they take care of you for a little while.
00:24:39
And in America, they're like, he's not bleeding anymore discharge, you know?
00:24:44
- You're telling me.
00:24:45
Going back just to the life, you know, going to college or not, I always, you know, I'm always saying, do whatever you can, like, right, direct at this, open a coffee shop,
00:24:55
you know what I mean?
00:24:56
Like, doing things out of the box, I love that.
00:25:00
And I think one of the things they do in Europe too is, or at least I know from Germany, if you want to do a specific something, you train in that field,
00:25:11
you know, it's not like you train in the college.
00:25:12
- It's like a apprenticeship or something, yeah.
00:25:14
- Exactly, which I think is wonderful.
00:25:15
- Well, I think, go ahead, I'm sorry.
00:25:17
- No, I was just gonna say to everybody, if you have something that you wanna do, do it, but do other things too, I wish I had said to myself, I wish I had given myself permission to not just be an actor.
00:25:30
You know what I mean?
00:25:31
- I get it.
00:25:32
- To do other things, you know?
00:25:33
- Yeah, because I think too, there's, and that's part of the good thing about, like, what Gen Z is doing is they're trying to rewrite that narrative of like, you become one thing, that's your thing, that's what you devote decades of your life to make somebody else richer,
00:25:45
doing that thing, and then you're dead.
00:25:47
Like, you get to enjoy your life in retirement at the very end, right?
00:25:51
- I'm gonna completely contradict myself and just say, I'm really sorry to all the generations that are behind me.
00:25:57
I apologize, and I'm here for you.
00:25:59
I'm trying to make them, okay, and not mad at me.
00:26:03
- Well, a lot of them are dead, so.
00:26:07
- All right, so now we're in the substation.
00:26:08
- We're in the substation, and we're trying to catch the hand.
00:26:11
- I know with hand lotion and nail polish and everything.
00:26:16
- Yeah, and then the pot with the string.
00:26:17
- Yeah, very classic.
00:26:19
- That was how you would catch, like, a mouse or something, you would put like a crane on it.
00:26:23
- Yeah, it was very Tom and Jerry, for sure.
00:26:25
Well, and then we talk about the flat iron building, which I think is really interesting, because the flat iron building is mentioned in so many different things.
00:26:31
So we talk about, 'cause that was, - Is that where the move is going to be projected?
00:26:34
- Yeah, so she gets, Harbor gets the text and it's going to be a flat iron building.
00:26:37
- But what is that in real thing?
00:26:39
- It's a real thing.
00:26:40
The famous three-sided triangular building in New York, built in 1902, that resembles a flat iron, hence the name, and it's been featured or recreated in movies and shows like John Wick with your favorite, Kiana Reeves.
00:26:50
- Oh, I know what you're talking about.
00:26:51
- Spider-Man, one and two, and it's referenced in the boys, so there's no film there.
00:26:55
- Like in the center, like a time square, right?
00:26:58
Like it's literally, yeah, it looks like a flat iron, 'cause it's, like, presided.
00:27:02
But I just love that, like, we bring that New York, again, attention to detail.
00:27:05
We bring that New York landmark back there.
00:27:07
- Right.
00:27:08
- So they catch the hand, but it's unusually strong.
00:27:10
Harper insists they just put the hand in the box, finish the chores themselves, and then go to the movie.
00:27:14
Alex, stubborn and refused.
00:27:16
- 'Cause Barbara is smart, and she knows this.
00:27:18
- Harper's efficient, Harper tries to be efficient, but Alex is stubborn, which is why they're good balance for each other, and refuses, and fights with the hand, which results in Alex just holding the hand,
00:27:28
while she ends up really doing the chores.
00:27:30
- I was like, what?
00:27:31
- And then I thought it was so funny, because she's using her hand to hold the hand to do all the chores, which is, to me, there's a little bit of a metaphor.
00:27:41
For maybe not metaphor, I'm not using that.
00:27:43
- This episode about a detached hand is getting very deep.
00:27:47
- But when you try to get your kids, as you don't have kids, but when you try to get your kids to do something, and then you start doing it,
00:27:57
you do it for them, but you're having them like watch you, and it was very hard for me not to do the things for the kids, but then what happens is, and my therapist,
00:28:09
Robert Stucky, who's now not with us anymore, said something to me that I really wish that I had taken to heart, 'cause it sounds weird, which is anything that you do for your children,
00:28:22
that they can do for themselves is a form of abuse.
00:28:26
In the sense of you're taking away their ability to trial and error, to learn and fill.
00:28:33
It's like spilled milk kind of thing.
00:28:35
- You are taking away the gift of self-sufficiency.
00:28:37
- Right, so if I say to Dylan, pour some milk in here, I don't want her to spill, so I pour it for her, she's never gonna learn how to pour the milk.
00:28:46
- Well, I mean, I don't have children, but like I...
00:28:48
- You have kids?
00:28:50
- Fuck off.
00:28:51
- I teach newer nurses, right?
00:28:54
So that the more, which is scary to me, that's where we're at now, but also to, you know, whatever.
00:29:00
Anyway, but I have to, I literally will say to them, I'll say I'll be in the room with you, but once we get to a certain point, I'm gonna step out and you need you to come ask me for help.
00:29:10
For multiple reasons, one, so they can use their resources, but two, because I struggle, they're not jump in and do it for 'em, because I want it done right, or I want it done a certain way, or I just want to help, you know?
00:29:19
And so I understand that thing, and like, well, let me just do it, it'll be easier if I just do it.
00:29:23
- That's a parent, that's a parent.
00:29:24
- That's a parent, that's a parent.
00:29:26
- The teaching is teaching, you know?
00:29:27
- I love that you're teaching.
00:29:28
They also say that you learn, you do this, you do that, and then when you kind of in a master capacity, and I'm not saying master, but when you start teaching it,
00:29:39
you know, is the next thing.
00:29:40
- But the teach-back method is like when you truly want to fully understand something, you teach it back.
00:29:46
If you can teach it, you know it through and through.
00:29:48
- You mean like when we teach acting at AGB, actors giving back tends to-- - I can't idea.
00:29:53
- We gotta be your Bigfoot mod.
00:29:54
- Okay, hold on, I've got a Bigfoot mod.
00:29:55
By the way, we're doing merch at Bigfoot.
00:29:59
Cafe.com all over the place.
00:30:01
Wait a minute, hold on, oh, I thought it was dollar.
00:30:03
I'm trying to drink.
00:30:04
- I can't, I can't.
00:30:05
- Okay.
00:30:06
- Wait a minute, wait a minute, I just wanna say this.
00:30:07
- Yeah.
00:30:08
- We are selling coffee now online.
00:30:10
We have three different blends.
00:30:12
So, what are the three buns?
00:30:14
- The peak-to-peak shy guy.
00:30:18
And, you put me on the spot.
00:30:20
- I'm sorry.
00:30:21
- They're all really good.
00:30:22
And, you know, if anybody is interested in getting, 'cause some of the fans have said, I want the merch.
00:30:28
So, now we're, we have it out there on the Bigfoot Cafe, thebigfootcafe.com.
00:30:35
And then, you can order the stuff, you know?
00:30:38
- It's, if the people even say they want to-- - No, no, no, no, I've tried some of their coffee, and I love it.
00:30:43
So, now I know what I need to restock where I can get it.
00:30:46
- Thanks, Jen Stone.
00:30:47
Okay.
00:30:48
- Okay, so, Alex refuses fights with, and then just ends up doing all the choice herself.
00:30:52
When Alex finishes all her choice on the list, the hand is so exhausted.
00:30:55
It can't even stand up for Justin's presentation, which of course is right that in that moment.
00:30:59
- Right.
00:30:59
- When they go to put the hand back in the box, they really just and took it back in the layer for his presentation.
00:31:03
So, they have to sneak the hand back into box.
00:31:05
- And what's interesting is, there's a motivation for Harper, who still likes Justin.
00:31:11
And, Alex is like, "Hey, he's my brother.
00:31:13
"I don't give a shit."
00:31:14
And then, they're like, but, but Justin, and we want him to be good and nice.
00:31:19
So, there's three different times where Harper is still like, "I want to help your brother."
00:31:25
But also, I think, I don't think that the Harper has the crush on Justin pretty much until Zeke comes around.
00:31:31
Like, pretty much until she starts liking Zeke, they play that narrative.
00:31:34
And even sometimes, even after Zeke, like she'll flirt with David.
00:31:37
And there was one, I-- - They just kept playing with that, right?
00:31:40
- Well, because David and I had a lot of fun with it.
00:31:42
Like, you know, we enjoyed, you know, that trope.
00:31:46
Yeah.
00:31:48
So, in the layer, Jerry's nervous for Justin as he practices his presentation.
00:31:52
Alex suspiciously tries to get the hand back in the box when the superintendent arrives.
00:31:56
Alex tries to leave for the movie, but Jerry urges her to say to be Justin's audience for "Use and Oz."
00:32:01
- Which I got so mad at myself for four.
00:32:03
- Four years.
00:32:04
- Well, because she's got to go to the thing.
00:32:05
Why am I-- I was mean to Max.
00:32:09
David, you know, Justin is-- - This is not a father to hear at the same time.
00:32:11
- No, it's not.
00:32:12
But I'm like, you have to stay here for the "Use and Oz" and everything, and I'm so, you know, I'm acting all nervous and everything.
00:32:18
I don't know the actor's name, but he was, he was, it was interesting 'cause he wasn't so, to me, funny being on a sitcom, it was like real.
00:32:27
He was very real.
00:32:29
- He played it very straight.
00:32:30
- Yeah, very straight.
00:32:31
- But I feel like we kind of needed that energy when literally, like, we're fighting with a hand.
00:32:35
- Yeah, yeah, it was good that it was-- - 'Cause if he was crazy and over the top, it would've been too much.
00:32:39
- Right, right.
00:32:40
He was very much in charge.
00:32:42
And it was almost like the DMV, you know what I mean?
00:32:44
Like that kind of, you know, you can make jokes.
00:32:47
- Yeah, very serious and-- - And also, at one point, 'cause we're like helping hand, rub his feet 'cause he's, you know, working with a dragon and doing this, his hands are occupied.
00:32:56
And then I'm like, I'll start and I touched his feet, I rubbed his feet, it was so-- - So you're not a Tarantino guy?
00:33:04
- I'm not a foot person, no, but I don't mind feet, but the, that watching me touch his feet made me like gross out.
00:33:14
- Did you not gross out in the moment?
00:33:16
- I don't remember.
00:33:17
I don't remember this episode at all.
00:33:18
I don't remember.
00:33:19
- I don't remember.
00:33:20
- I just shoved it down.
00:33:21
- Anything.
00:33:21
- There's some of season two that's like a wash.
00:33:23
- There's nothing in this episode that I, like whatever, there probably was something going on this week where I-- - Did you get served papers this week?
00:33:32
- Oh, you fucker.
00:33:33
- Sorry.
00:33:34
- Sorry, I was right there, it was right there, okay, okay.
00:33:36
- Serve papers for people who don't know.
00:33:38
It's like you have a lawsuit and you're served.
00:33:40
I'm about to serve someone, by the way, and I can't wait to do it.
00:33:43
- We're, don't mention like this.
00:33:44
- Listen, if somebody-- - Oh my god.
00:33:46
- I'm not a sue person, okay?
00:33:47
But if somebody does something that's unjust, if somebody does something that's unjust, and you're within your right to hold up a contract, or if somebody steals something from you,
00:33:58
then you can do it.
00:33:59
You listen to me, everybody, out there, and you know what, if you're watching, you're the person who I don't like very much, you know who you are, you.
00:34:07
- Wait, this episode, let's just review for a second.
00:34:10
I'm so sorry, guys.
00:34:11
This episode has gone off the rails.
00:34:13
It is hands-off for the helping end episode.
00:34:15
- Hands-off, helping end.
00:34:16
- We have talked about child abuse and child protective services.
00:34:20
We've talked about serving patients.
00:34:22
- It's fucking life for you once.
00:34:23
- Yeah, I can't, okay, okay.
00:34:25
- It's interesting too, non-secretar.
00:34:27
- It's all episodes.
00:34:29
- Okay, but the hand being alive, you know?
00:34:32
Like, you know, at hand acting was a thing.
00:34:37
Did you know that?
00:34:38
- Yeah.
00:34:39
- Like, in commercials.
00:34:40
- Are you kidding me?
00:34:41
- Do you see a lander, a hand model?
00:34:42
- A lander?
00:34:43
- A lander, yeah.
00:34:43
- Okay, go on.
00:34:44
- Okay, we're in it, we're in it.
00:34:45
- So I'm telling Alex to wait here so that she can ooze it in an oz.
00:34:49
- And then your favorite part?
00:34:51
- I ask him, I offer the guy some chakotari board.
00:34:56
- A chakotari?
00:34:58
- Yeah, isn't that what it's called?
00:34:59
- Yeah, no, it's just the way you said it.
00:35:01
The chakotari.
00:35:02
- And Geico's, why are you, are you trying to bribe me with the meat that's sweatier than you?
00:35:09
I'm pretty shfitsin' right now, bud.
00:35:09
- I mean, I was about to say, I was like, you had a paper towel in the last episode.
00:35:13
(laughing)
00:35:14
So I was like, you can't really be mad at the spitsin' joke.
00:35:17
Okay, so you rub the guy's feet.
00:35:20
It's tired and snoring, which we do not understand.
00:35:23
Jerry tries to stall.
00:35:24
Justin urges the hand to rub the superintendent's feet, but the hand gives him attitude.
00:35:28
And so Jerry does it.
00:35:29
Max jumps in and tries to present the cooperative foot.
00:35:32
- And pause, pause.
00:35:33
Before you guys come into the layer, the hand goes into the lemonade, right?
00:35:40
- It's disgusting.
00:35:41
- Yeah, and then the lemonade comes in.
00:35:43
Teresa brings the lemonade.
00:35:44
- Yeah, it's like, what does this taste weird?
00:35:46
- Yeah, yeah.
00:35:46
And then I take it from him.
00:35:48
I'm like, I don't want him to drink the hand tasting water thing.
00:35:52
Okay, Max comes in with a very odd fake foot.
00:35:56
- He tries to come in and present the cooperative foot that will kick something when you're too tired to kick it.
00:36:02
Jerry can't believe, so he just asks, can't believe it.
00:36:06
And he's can't believe he's asking Alex to do something for him.
00:36:09
So she uses magic to make Max disappear.
00:36:11
Teresa gets mad at Jerry because Max is trying to get his dad's attention 'cause again, you are not father of the year.
00:36:15
- Right.
00:36:16
- I'm very sorry, Jerry.
00:36:17
Jerry asks Alex to zap Max back in half an hour just to buy him some time.
00:36:22
- Which is so funny to me, I'm like, zap him back.
00:36:25
- Half an hour.
00:36:26
- Yeah, he did a little of the side, it was good.
00:36:28
And then Harper is urging Alex to leave for the movie, otherwise they won't get good seats.
00:36:31
So Alex tries to back out of the situation to go to the movie, but Harper gets out, guilt's Alex, which that part confused me.
00:36:37
I'm like, she wants to go to the movie, but then she guilt's her to stay like, pick a side Harper.
00:36:41
- Well, I feel like she has to complete her task of helping.
00:36:47
- Okay.
00:36:48
- Right?
00:36:49
- Yeah, sure.
00:36:49
(laughing)
00:36:51
Like I said, this episode's just off the rails.
00:36:53
Okay, so Harper guilt's Alex into helping Justin, since she exhausted the helping hand to help herself.
00:36:58
Alex literally talks to the hand and begs him to do this for Justin.
00:37:02
- And this is where the hand was snoring and stuff.
00:37:05
- Yeah, yeah.
00:37:05
And then the hand scratches the superintendents back.
00:37:07
He's interested in showing the hand to the board who's always looking for a good back scratcher for the gift shop.
00:37:11
- Which by the way, all men, all men, I don't know about them.
00:37:16
It's 'cause they can't reach, because we can't reach.
00:37:19
We're meant to.
00:37:19
- I think you're gonna say 'cause they can't reach them.
00:37:20
- It sounds like that tracks.
00:37:21
- But we can't reach our backs, you know?
00:37:25
Listen, to the audience, to the males.
00:37:27
I guess they're, but they're younger.
00:37:29
If you, why do men love scratching backs better than women?
00:37:34
- Why do men post fishing pictures on their dating profile?
00:37:38
Why do men do half the shit they do?
00:37:40
Who knows?
00:37:40
- But you know what I do sometimes?
00:37:42
I have you, Leah, scratch my back.
00:37:45
- God bless you.
00:37:46
- And I'll move her arm around like it's, (laughing)
00:37:49
- That's life.
00:37:50
- That's life.
00:37:50
- That's life.
00:37:51
- Okay, okay, sorry, go on.
00:37:52
And then.
00:37:54
- And then at max, this is my favorite part of the whole day.
00:37:56
- Yeah, yeah.
00:37:57
- I don't know why, but max zaps back in wearing safari gear.
00:38:01
This is why I love max is he's just so random and weird and it works.
00:38:05
But he's wearing safari gear standing.
00:38:07
He sold the foot, made a fortune, lost it, brought a hundred-year-old man from India back to life and got a new nickname.
00:38:14
And Jerry urges Max that he is proud of him too, just not all the time.
00:38:18
- Right, it is so funny, that non-secret or that work, there he was like, you know what I'm gonna say?
00:38:24
It was a little jumanji-ish.
00:38:25
- It was.
00:38:26
- It was.
00:38:26
- You know, it was like, he went away to another world.
00:38:27
- But then max goes, I know that you're proud of me 'cause the hundred-year-old man told me so.
00:38:30
- Right, it was just so weird.
00:38:32
- So.
00:38:33
- Who's this hundred-year-old man?
00:38:33
- I love it.
00:38:34
He's gone to be character or something.
00:38:36
So in the tag, Alex and Harper are coming back from night of the Halloween story party, Disaster 3.
00:38:40
Wondering if those girls are ever gonna graduate?
00:38:43
Jerry comes out of the sub shop carrying Justin, shouting that they got the spell certified.
00:38:46
Jerry's, okay, I love this part too.
00:38:49
You take it, you literally piggybacking David, the David Squared, you're piggybacking Henry up the stairs and like you're getting winded.
00:38:57
- I'm very excited.
00:38:58
I'm like, we're there, we got it, it's so wonderful.
00:39:02
And then I'm starting, I saw myself zigzag a little bit and I'm like, why am I doing that?
00:39:07
Because then that sets up your joke.
00:39:09
- Of point and laugh.
00:39:10
- Is your dad gonna be able to make it up the stairs?
00:39:12
- Yeah, and Alex is like, no, let's point and laugh at him.
00:39:15
And that's how we end the episode.
00:39:16
We point laugh at you getting winded and having a heart attack up the stairs.
00:39:18
- Which was so funny.
00:39:19
- All right, so let's bring it all back out.
00:39:21
- Oh my God, Jen, I love this part of the art show.
00:39:24
- Yes.
00:39:25
- Because you asked me a question.
00:39:25
- I do ask you a question that's episode specific.
00:39:28
So what is your least favorite chore or adulting that you'd like a helpful hand to help you with?
00:39:34
- Listen, I love it.
00:39:35
- It's a very deep question.
00:39:36
- I love chores, I love vacuuming.
00:39:37
It's something very-- - Oh God.
00:39:38
- It's featuring your ways, I hate it.
00:39:39
- It's something very good, picking up poop.
00:39:43
I don't love that.
00:39:45
But we're talking about around the house kind of thing.
00:39:47
- Yeah, I mean, picking up poop is like an adulting thing you have to do.
00:39:49
- I don't know, I love, I enjoy it.
00:39:52
I'm thinking.
00:39:53
But yeah, I'm saying picking up a dog poop is not my favorite-- - Pooch was also my least chore.
00:40:00
- Favorite, yeah, sure.
00:40:01
- Okay.
00:40:02
- It's also my least favorite bodily fluid, not a fan.
00:40:05
- Yeah, but everyone's in a while.
00:40:06
And I can't believe I'm saying this.
00:40:08
But you're like-- - Oh, I can't hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:40:10
- Are we sure?
00:40:10
- Are we sure?
00:40:11
- Are we seeing the end of that?
00:40:12
That's a chore, you know what I mean?
00:40:13
- Oh, I thought you were gonna-- I literally thought we were gonna start the episode with you talking about hot boxing farts.
00:40:18
And then we were gonna end with you talking about like, there's nothing like a good shit.
00:40:21
That's why I thought you were headed.
00:40:22
And I was like, please God know.
00:40:23
- No, that's not a chore, that's it, that's a privilege.
00:40:26
- Let's-- (laughing)
00:40:28
- Okay, what chore do you mean?
00:40:30
- I get that, I get that.
00:40:31
- Oh, you're like cleaning the cat litter.
00:40:33
That's a pain in the butt, right?
00:40:35
- I've accepted, I've so perfected my disassociative state.
00:40:38
So when I'm doing things I don't love at work or like with cat poop, I just disassociate to an Olympic level.
00:40:46
I'm not, I don't know if I'm proud of it, but it exists.
00:40:48
- So what do you need a helping hand for?
00:40:50
- If you're like, shut the fuck up, answer the question.
00:40:53
I would say probably the dishes are laundry.
00:40:56
I hate things that are monotonous.
00:40:57
That's why I don't like cooking is because I feel like I have to cook every single day 'cause I have to eat every single day and then there's always dishes and then we just rinse and repeat.
00:41:04
I hate monotonous, repetitive actions.
00:41:07
They make me crazy.
00:41:08
I like doing something and having it be done for a while.
00:41:10
- You know what Yulia does?
00:41:11
- What?
00:41:12
- She, and I don't know, and I might have said this before, but she compliments me on how I fold the laundry.
00:41:18
- That's so nice.
00:41:19
- Yeah, but here's the thing.
00:41:21
I don't think I'm that good at it.
00:41:23
And I think that she compliments-- - Probably not, but she compliments, I mean, I'm not bad.
00:41:26
- She's the same woman that loves you enough to be your backscratcher.
00:41:29
- Yeah, that's true.
00:41:30
Thank you.
00:41:31
- You're a lucky man.
00:41:32
- But the, she compliments me so much so that I'm like, "I feel proud of myself when I'm doing it."
00:41:38
- Me too.
00:41:39
- Men are so simple.
00:41:39
- True.
00:41:40
- They're so simple.
00:41:41
- Very true.
00:41:42
- Yeah, you just have to tell them they're, give them a gold star and you're good.
00:41:44
- Jen.
00:41:45
- Good doing business with you.
00:41:47
