[SPEAKER_02]: Michael Mera, Radio Entertainment.
[SPEAKER_05]: Hi, I'm gettin' a gang, and now he'll be a quiet winner.
[SPEAKER_05]: We will start the show.
[SPEAKER_05]: T-M-O-S, classic.
[SPEAKER_05]: Friday, flashback.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm just a person.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's going to join us right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's still there.
[SPEAKER_02]: We still weren't able to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're right.
[SPEAKER_02]: We still weren't able to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're still weren't able to do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're still weren't able to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're still weren't able to do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're still weren't able to do it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Seriously what the Jessica how are you what happened just now?
[SPEAKER_02]: Jessica Rob how many years have I been in this business?
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh God a forty thirty no more than more than thirty almost thirty
[SPEAKER_02]: I, before the show, I say to the guys, I say, let me, let me, I'll get my text out, please.
[SPEAKER_02]: And well, and then I'll give Jessica a proper introduction, which was, which was weird because, because we are, we are and have been.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every support person I have ever worked with.
[SPEAKER_02]: has been a moron when it comes to, yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: And Jessica, I will give you a proper introduction in a second, but I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_02]: House cleaning is essential.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm fine with it because that was horrific.
[SPEAKER_06]: This was a take as much time as you need that was to do that.
[SPEAKER_02]: That ever happened today at one o six p.m.
[SPEAKER_02]: Two hours before we take.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Please remember to wait for the guest.
[SPEAKER_02]: I like to have my pre show with just the team.
[SPEAKER_02]: So let's do it like a real show and start the show and then introduce Jessica.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now, I have a question.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is Pony the guy that just walked us to the studio?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: He didn't walk.
[SPEAKER_06]: He bleeped.
[SPEAKER_06]: That I have never ever seen someone walk that fast in my entire life.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have a great idea.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: Have the guest ride him here.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is where it screwed up.
[SPEAKER_03]: He made eye contact with me through the producer's window as if to say the guest is ready to go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good mic technique too.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's really good as I'm hearing the the mics wide open to just listing it today.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just really getting to go ahead continue.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.
[SPEAKER_03]: I gave him a nod to say, okay, I know that you're there and then he flew the door open.
[SPEAKER_03]: without waiting for you to say, our guest is here, which is the one thing we laid in concrete before we started the show today.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's also been what, fifteen months since we've actually had someone outside our world sit down that didn't work.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we've done all of our guests on Zoom and we're very happy to have.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, and you've got to be doing it too, Jessica, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: Traveling around the country and visiting.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why you think the first time there would be cheese.
[SPEAKER_06]: But anyway.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, I get fed off.
[SPEAKER_02]: I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I get a little fed up, but it's, you know, I understand, you know, it's been a day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I'm here and I'm so happy to be here with you guys.
[SPEAKER_02]: You guys are there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look, I just, you know, the last time we were here, we did some serious, the serious business of comedy and
[SPEAKER_02]: we talked about uh... your your amazing uh... documentary hysterical but uh... you know the stand up you've done uh... and i think would it be would it be would i be overstating it if i said that your signature move is kind of what i'm doing right now although you're a lot funnier doing it
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm having a therapeutic moment right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: You do self therapy, which I think is the greatest single innovation with stand up when you will be in the middle of a set that is going, I think, magnificently.
[SPEAKER_02]: And something will trigger you where you turn your back to the audience.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you'll just do this therapy analysis thing where you something is triggered you.
[SPEAKER_02]: How long have you been doing that?
[SPEAKER_06]: I promise.
[SPEAKER_06]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, that means that you're smart and you're aware.
[SPEAKER_06]: Because sometimes people don't get it.
[SPEAKER_06]: And when I see their faces like surprised or confused, I die.
[SPEAKER_06]: It actually makes me horny.
[SPEAKER_06]: I love.
[SPEAKER_06]: seeing a confused face when I turn around.
[SPEAKER_06]: So to the people that don't know what I'm talking about, I literally turn my back to the audience and like bend over and have an internal monologue with myself.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like it doesn't matter that the guy in the front isn't laughing.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not your father.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're projecting on him.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's probably miserable.
[SPEAKER_06]: He hates himself.
[SPEAKER_06]: He's not eating to deal with the feelings.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, I have a whole
[SPEAKER_06]: and then a lot of times I'll turn and of course there's some people who don't get it like they can't go there because they're dumb you know what's going on and I just look at them I'm like I'm so grateful I'm not you like I am so grateful
[SPEAKER_06]: that I am aware in life and I am not you and you know most people get it and most people say it's my favorite thing you do like I show get it I'm always in my head I always talk to myself and I mean if when I first started doing it it didn't get laughs because I you know you have to do it at certain times because what I'm killing and the crowd is dying laughing I don't turn around and do it because it doesn't make sense right
[SPEAKER_06]: but like if I feel there if there's a weird moment during the set or if a joke if I do new stuff that's been happening a lot because I've been doing a lot of new stuff and it doesn't kill I'll turn around and be like you know you always expect every joke to kill that's new it's a new joke it's not gonna do as well as your old stuff you're unrealistic you sabotage yourself you know it's so much fun and people will scream laughing because it's real
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, what I did and this is real.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love these two guys on either side.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm going to stake about that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I truly do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think all of us, you do love that.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're pony boy.
[SPEAKER_02]: You love them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let's be friends.
[SPEAKER_02]: So anyway, I love these two guys on either side of us.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for me, uh, I would say, especially in last five or six years with this, uh, this vehicle.
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't think there was anything more intimate than live radio until we
[SPEAKER_02]: started podcasting and doing this.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's just more relaxed and it's just more intense if that can be true at the same time.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I find this show therapeutic to come in and really, really vent especially in this world we are living in right now where I realized last night that I need.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it was George Carlin who once said he just needs one little thing to go wrong.
[SPEAKER_02]: It might have been some other comedian.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: But in my case, I live in Florida.
[SPEAKER_02]: My son, I have an eight-year-old son who is going to school in Florida.
[SPEAKER_02]: And we are ruled down here.
[SPEAKER_02]: Our king, our king in the country of Florida, is a maniac king who is fighting against anything that would keep my son safe.
[SPEAKER_02]: counter that with, uh, in my area of the kingdom, we have a transmission rate that is, uh, off the charts.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm, I'm one of the people that actually, uh, lives in an area like this.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've handled it.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then yesterday, I lose my wallet.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that was the, that was the tipping point.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have been in a funk depression.
[SPEAKER_02]: And is your mother, by the way, is your mother still practicing, is she still a therapist?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, she's incredible.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, you have a card for Mike.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's really now.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's wanted that she's unbelievable.
[SPEAKER_06]: I can.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have my own down here.
[SPEAKER_06]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's a healer.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_03]: She actually got her house, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I think there's comics that see her and she doesn't tell me who they are.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, no.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: And they've have told me, but she's that private where she hasn't even told me.
[SPEAKER_06]: They've reached out to her because they've just seen her in my stuff where they know of her.
[SPEAKER_06]: But yeah, she's unbelievable.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've noticed that lately Freddie Roman has been a lot more
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, so he died.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's your eye.
[SPEAKER_02]: There we go.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wait a year.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was fairly recent the Freddy Roman.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's a pretty Roman.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, surprised you didn't use Jackie Mason.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's really been doing great.
[SPEAKER_06]: I wanted to.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's still, you look, I'm living life, you're on the road now and how weird is it with the travel.
[SPEAKER_02]: This was, we were cruising.
[SPEAKER_02]: This was all, you probably set up your dates.
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought that everything's shrugging along and now here we are.
[SPEAKER_02]: How are you doing?
[SPEAKER_02]: Mostly physically all that.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was doing well.
[SPEAKER_06]: And now I'm freaked out.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm going to be honest with you.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm freaked out.
[SPEAKER_06]: I was just telling Alice in the owner of the improv who's absolutely incredible.
[SPEAKER_06]: Very.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, Alice.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I haven't seen her in years.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hello, sweetie.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hi, Alice.
[SPEAKER_06]: And God is she amazing.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I, you know, ask everyone to support the DC improv.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's an unbelievable club.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I'm so excited to be here this weekend and come out to the shows and keep going out to the DC improv.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're, they're so good to me and every comic.
[SPEAKER_06]: And it's such a beautiful
[SPEAKER_06]: club and you know I I told her like I just got an email today about something that was canceled in New York in two weeks that I had and that's like it's the shows have been packed in New York and you have to be vaccinated to go to a club in New York and I was shocked that it was canceled and I was it's weird
[SPEAKER_06]: It's what I have a ton of road gigs coming up and I'm freaked out about it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now I'm not freaked out about traveling.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm freaked out that it's going to be a canceled again because I'm going to go out of my mind if I have to be home and not be on the road because I'm used to doing it for twenty two years.
[SPEAKER_06]: But I also have this fear, you know, I have a daughter with heart disease who has had
[SPEAKER_06]: three open heart surgeries and a stench.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's five and a half.
[SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now this delta variant.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like, Oh, my God.
[SPEAKER_06]: Now what do I do?
[SPEAKER_06]: Like is this going to keep spreading?
[SPEAKER_06]: Can I go on the road?
[SPEAKER_06]: What just all crazy?
[SPEAKER_02]: It is not.
[SPEAKER_02]: How are you coping?
[SPEAKER_02]: How are you coping with all this on the road dealing with all the extra anxiety of this thing?
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, that's just starting.
[SPEAKER_06]: like that meaning I feel like this is my first week of going back out on the road of this this happening now.
[SPEAKER_06]: I personally can't watch it all the time on the news because I'm not going to be okay.
[SPEAKER_06]: So I have to just kind of hear about it and then just plow ahead and take it you know day by day week by week and see what happens because honestly the truth is I don't know what's going to happen.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if everything's going to close down again.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know if it may be a little bit crazy for a little while and then go back to you know nor I don't we don't know.
[SPEAKER_06]: So to get in my head about it and get crazy is not is not helpful.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's the therapist.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, how does that make you feel like?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's healthy for me.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not.
[SPEAKER_06]: I don't know what's going to happen.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's true.
[SPEAKER_02]: Perhaps in some small way, I'm projecting my own angle at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's all right.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is it tough?
[SPEAKER_06]: Because I have a sick kid.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I know that's depressing.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I know.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the truth.
[SPEAKER_00]: for being on the road or interacting with people.
[SPEAKER_00]: Was it when we first were able to take our masks off because everyone's values within our circle was getting vaccinated.
[SPEAKER_00]: The vaccine people's faces again.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_00]: Was strange.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean, it was it was great when they're attractive when they're unattracted.
[SPEAKER_04]: It was very upsetting.
[SPEAKER_06]: There's some of my friends I was really grateful they were wearing a mask because it made it easier to be around them.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm thinking you're like, you know, I'm like, yo, could you just put that back on this?
[SPEAKER_03]: I was enjoying it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know it's great dentist.
[SPEAKER_02]: People with halatosis close talkers are on the right path.
[SPEAKER_06]: If you get an opportunity for example, I'm smelling hot dogs.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, we were hit now.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Can you am a West Classic?
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to ask you about, because I know nothing about it.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I wanted to ask you about the prank call album, the call girls, which makes random calls to people.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm a big fan of that kind of.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, you're going to love this yet.
[SPEAKER_06]: So no, during COVID, my friend Rachel Feinstein, who's an incredible stand-up comedian, she's my sister in this business.
[SPEAKER_06]: We were so depressed during COVID.
[SPEAKER_06]: My father passed away from cancer and off from COVID in May.
[SPEAKER_06]: I mean in April, thank you right after COVID started and she had a baby and her husband's a fireman, you know, it was just crazy.
[SPEAKER_06]: We were both so depressed.
[SPEAKER_06]: We're like, let's make prank calls and make a prank out.
[SPEAKER_06]: So for months, we all send you a clip and we'll play it on the show.
[SPEAKER_06]: And for months, we recorded them, you know, video recorded and made this prank album and we call businesses and every call has something to do with COVID.
[SPEAKER_06]: Well, at least we mentioned it.
[SPEAKER_06]: Some are more than others.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like we call it a massage parlor as two old Jewish women and we're like, we'd like a socially distanced massage.
[SPEAKER_05]: And the woman's like, what do you mean?
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm like, yeah, we don't want to go, but we don't want demand to touch us.
[SPEAKER_05]: She's like, you have to be, I'm like, does anyone there have very long arms?
[SPEAKER_05]: Six feet long.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did you truly perform for elderly people on the, in the Florida area?
[SPEAKER_02]: Have you ever got my, are you kidding?
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a times.
[SPEAKER_03]: I really perform for one now.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's funny.
[SPEAKER_02]: How about we get the guests to come in at the right time, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Give him the carrot.
[SPEAKER_06]: have done so many of those.
[SPEAKER_06]: I get them all.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just got another one for February.
[SPEAKER_06]: I do them all the time.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you know, I say most of the crowd, you know, they're, they're a good crowd, most are eighty, ninety, some have passed.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, some have already passed.
[SPEAKER_06]: They just sit them like we can a burning.
[SPEAKER_06]: They just sit them in a crowd.
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes you won't hear a sound.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you're just declaring the throat, you know, someone's alive, someone is...
[SPEAKER_06]: And they yell out, they heckle actually, if they don't end.
[SPEAKER_06]: Did she terrible?
[SPEAKER_06]: What is this?
[SPEAKER_06]: Who hired him?
[SPEAKER_05]: She had been left once.
[SPEAKER_05]: So it's happening.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you do a lot of these, what jokes play to the eighty and ninety-year-olds?
[SPEAKER_03]: What is there for that?
[SPEAKER_06]: Sometimes you have to say all jokes, you know, like, what did the waiter say to the group of Jewish women sending a restaurant and they're like, what?
[SPEAKER_06]: And you're like, is anything okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, those jokes go off.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you have a repertoire of that kind of because I mean, when I'm bombing, when I'm like dying and I want to eat a live pig, I'll take one of those out.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'll throw one of those out there just so I can not kill myself.
[SPEAKER_02]: But he's true being the tradition of Catskills as I just did those.
[SPEAKER_06]: I just did three of those in the Catskills.
[SPEAKER_02]: back in the, it's not the way it used to be back in the day.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, traditionally Jewish audiences were a great way to test your stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're great.
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you hit on something, they're fantastic.
[SPEAKER_06]: They're amazing.
[SPEAKER_06]: But sometimes they're too old to laugh.
[SPEAKER_06]: And sometimes they're too rich.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like I'll say, you're too rich to laugh.
[SPEAKER_06]: You literally have too much money to laugh.
[SPEAKER_06]: You are entitled.
[SPEAKER_06]: You're ungrateful and you're miserable.
[SPEAKER_06]: You are a miserable person.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you should have just gone bowling.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like you should have done something else.
[SPEAKER_06]: Then gone to a comedy show.
[SPEAKER_04]: You're ungrateful.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like there's people dying everywhere.
[SPEAKER_06]: And you are a miserable person.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like they're the kind of people that call the housekeeper the girl.
[SPEAKER_06]: Do you know what I'm saying?
[SPEAKER_06]: That girl is coming.
[SPEAKER_06]: That girl.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm like the girl is sixty-five and owns a home.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's not a girl.
[SPEAKER_02]: you said it the word I love the word entitled you said that it makes me sick that's my least favorite kind of person is an entitled person I hate them yeah there was a line down here and because really it's not exclusive to the East Coast of Florida you know people that
[SPEAKER_02]: come to South Florida and get away from the angry political end of things, which is exploded down here.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's an article in Vanity Fair, a great article.
[SPEAKER_02]: I wish I had the the author's name about how Florida has transformed.
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got when you use the word entitled, there's a line I used to use that it was, we had somebody did it was based in politics.
[SPEAKER_02]: I use it all the time now.
[SPEAKER_02]: If somebody is really going, yeah, I don't understand that and we could have gone over here too.
[SPEAKER_02]: They usually have warm butter.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why they put the call of butter out there and say, you know, the light is what don't you have?
[SPEAKER_02]: What don't you have?
[SPEAKER_02]: And it applies.
[SPEAKER_02]: The anger, it's hard to understand when you're talking about, because look, you hear about senior citizens on the national news that you hear about the people that have it in a very rough way where they are struggling.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there is tons of it down here.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's tons of elderly poverty down here.
[SPEAKER_02]: There is.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they need help.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm talking about a group of people that have been successful, most of their lives, exploiting other people for their own wealth.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then they come down here that was a little joke, but I guess I drew those because I'm taking it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to pull a Jessica.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was trying to be like our guest.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I'm needy too.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm having a very bad day.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good job.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's perfect.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they don't you wonder sometimes you're like, why are you that pissed off in the only thing?
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm sixty two.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm getting to that point.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'm not a jolly guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't been jolly since twenty.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, I haven't been jolly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ever in my life.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think what you jolly in college?
[SPEAKER_02]: I was drunk in college.
[SPEAKER_02]: That doesn't count as work.
[SPEAKER_06]: Very much alike.
[SPEAKER_06]: You and I have a lot in common.
[SPEAKER_06]: I have never been.
[SPEAKER_02]: Never been jolly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Never.
[SPEAKER_06]: I never been jolly.
[SPEAKER_06]: Never.
[SPEAKER_06]: I had jolly once felt like if someone said how are you, I have never once said great.
[SPEAKER_06]: I've never been great.
[SPEAKER_06]: Never.
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you feel, let me see if we're similar this way.
[SPEAKER_02]: And when you have the moments, would you buy and keep for yourself?
[SPEAKER_02]: And it would be killing on stage.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I mean, really just having an amazing set on stage, you at least I do.
[SPEAKER_02]: When we have a great show or we're doing a live event and there's something great that happens, I am filled with a little bit of dread.
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, I feel sad.
[SPEAKER_02]: Something else is gonna happen now.
[SPEAKER_02]: So after.
[SPEAKER_06]: I sold out city winery in New York the lip two three nights ago standing ovation and I don't feel like I was gonna cry, but it wasn't a happy cry
[SPEAKER_06]: It's like, please sit down.
[SPEAKER_06]: Please stop clapping.
[SPEAKER_06]: I need to find chips.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's so bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's such a bad way to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God, what's wrong?
[SPEAKER_02]: Has your mother given you any insight over the years?
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh my God, she ever not.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's why I messed up like I'm looking here that I'd love to hear like a paragraph or two of you know of your mom's analysis of you.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, God.
[SPEAKER_06]: We got it one time you should have my mom on with me.
[SPEAKER_06]: She is so good.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to and and could I steal her for a little mess.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, totally.
[SPEAKER_03]: You she's the best.
[SPEAKER_03]: Michael Mary's podcast for one.
[SPEAKER_03]: She's the best.
[SPEAKER_03]: She'll talk.
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll show her.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_06]: She's doing good.
[SPEAKER_02]: She's amazing.
[SPEAKER_02]: So what did she say?
[SPEAKER_02]: How would she?
[SPEAKER_02]: What would be her son-up?
[SPEAKER_06]: You feel uncomfortable getting compliments.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, you can't take it in.
[SPEAKER_06]: You know, to let yourself take it in and feel good.
[SPEAKER_06]: You don't feel, you don't, you don't let it in, Jessie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like that's what she would say to me that I.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's time.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's time you let in the gun.
[SPEAKER_06]: But she would just, you know, I sabotage it.
[SPEAKER_06]: I harm myself.
[SPEAKER_06]: I need to start feeling good.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm older now.
[SPEAKER_06]: It's enough for Eddie.
[SPEAKER_06]: Like she would just do that whole thing with me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But you have a good relationship with your mom.
[SPEAKER_06]: Oh, I see.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_06]: We have a very good relationship.
[SPEAKER_06]: Is she ever jolly?
[SPEAKER_06]: My mother is the happiest person.
[SPEAKER_06]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_06]: You will ever meet in your entire life.

[SPEAKER_02]: But, you know, I had a great mom too who was very, very effusive and very supportive.
[SPEAKER_02]: Now, the thing is the extended family that I come from, you know, you walk into a room, I could be, let me see.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could be on a secret mission where my life was in danger, and I went away for five years, and I would walk into a room of my sister and my cousins, and you know, it would have been in the New York Times on the front page.
[SPEAKER_02]: Michael Mera survives most dangerous in a clientescent meeting, and I would walk into the living room, and they would say, hello, Michael.
[SPEAKER_02]: That would be the greatest.
[SPEAKER_03]: Which is not only dismissive, but the fact that you hate being called Michael.
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's where it comes from.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's where it comes from.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's just, that's, that's what did it.

[SPEAKER_02]: They lived in different areas when I go away on a big case.
[SPEAKER_02]: They would travel around.
[SPEAKER_02]: They were very close all the time.
[SPEAKER_02]: We're sitting in the RV one night to trailer and we're watching Miss America and this happened in a mobile vehicle right here.
[SPEAKER_02]: And so Bert Parks finished the saying and she goes, uh, my, you should do that.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is one of my first, uh, when I was working programming a radio station, uh, it was, uh, yes, he's got a good job, but they're not around anymore.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's it.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's all about me.
[SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, we'll take a break.
[SPEAKER_02]: Come back with more on the my go marriage show.
[SPEAKER_02]: T. M. O. S. Classic.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I've got a lot of problems with my computer.
[UNKNOWN]: What kind of problems?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, one is the odor.
[SPEAKER_03]: The odor of the computer.
[SPEAKER_03]: It smells horrible.
[SPEAKER_03]: The scanner.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you familiar?
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a computer scanner.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you know what a scanner is?
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, when I put it in, and I want a copy like a pornographic picture, and I hit start, it smells like burnt meat.
[SPEAKER_01]: Am I over eighty?
[SPEAKER_03]: Am I over eighty?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I am.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't understand a goddamn thing you're saying you need to say it again slower and louder.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you're not.
[SPEAKER_03]: Say it slower.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now listen, what is your name?
[SPEAKER_03]: Your name is pardon?
[SPEAKER_01]: My name is not pardon.
[SPEAKER_03]: What is your name?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm saying what's your name?
[SPEAKER_03]: What are you going to do?
[SPEAKER_03]: What am I going to do?
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to call you your name.
[SPEAKER_03]: Is it a problem that I want to be cordial?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, the computer is also troublesome.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what kind of problem?
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, for one thing, my monitor is very, very dim.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's not actually a monitor, it's a television.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's an old emerson television.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, it's not a monitor, it's a television.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a keyboard.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, there is a problem with my keyboard.
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't have an L. My keyboard doesn't have an L. And L, you know, the letter that comes before M. Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: L like London.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have no L.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, do you know what you need to worry?
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll give you an L, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: How do I get it?
[SPEAKER_03]: There's another problem.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have a disk drive, and there's an English muffin stuck in it.
[SPEAKER_01]: In my disk drive?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I was trying to download some jelly.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you're trying to download some jelly on your computer.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, which was very hard because I have no L, and there's two Ls in jelly, so I'm sure I made a mistake.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's probably why the muffin got caught.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, that's about the muffin got struck.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now listen, listen, I think we're done here, but I have one last question for you.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I should want to see you some things so that I really love to speak with you.
