This. Episode of Funny Because It's True is
0:03
supported by State Farm. I am a huge
0:05
fan of State for hims personal price plan.
0:07
I recommend Home Auto and Live Coverage to
0:09
just about everybody. The personal price play and
0:11
it's all about being unique, impersonal to you
0:13
and your needs. That means you get the
0:15
coverage you want, a policy that helps cover
0:17
what's important to you and an affordable price.
0:19
Just feel like a good neighbor State Farm
0:21
is. Their prices vary by state, option, selected
0:24
by customer availability and eligibility. It may vary.

3:35
big for yourself and whatever you're ordering for
3:37

an episode of Madam Secretary that me
4:13
my partner of Obsessive we gotten into
4:15
or it's currently on Netflix. I love
4:17
that it's like it's less clever then
4:19
West Wing. And it's less
4:22
funny than veep. is this nice in
4:24
between place that like easy enough to
4:26
watch with good acting and there's conversation
4:28
and thinking involves. But it's also a
4:31
family show that was formerly on Cbs
4:33
and I'm forty now and that's my
4:35
demographic. It's meant for you, It's meant
4:37
for me. Is
4:40
an Alaskan is what you know more about. The new
4:42
said. Baseball? certainly. That says
4:44
some people might say know anything about
4:46

4:53
so many baseball books as a kid like
4:56

5:20
it's killing it. Nerds are taking over and
5:22
that they everything is and peppers and like
5:24
a time a like that in a weird
5:27
way to do something just about it sir
5:29

5:31
sports with their math. yep and also with
5:34
it's not to say that you the game
5:36

of it's last. Thing that you googled
14:05
a is I fresh on your mind.
14:08
Know. This. Is gonna sound
14:10
sneaky, but it's not at all. What
14:13
I do. When. I get
14:15
offline. At. The end as a
14:17
day is a clear my history. And
14:20
I don't know why I started that.
14:22
Have it? But. My google history?
14:24
what are you looking at that? you're
14:26
like I can not have anybody. Know
14:29
exactly. Is
14:32
this. Ah, so I
14:34
thought. oh I know. Here's.
14:36
Here's that I googled. The
14:38
this place called the Comedy so I
14:40
sounded on my. Son's. The
14:43
Comedy Zone which is
14:45
a comedy club. In.
14:47
The South and I'm gonna be going
14:49
there and I've never perform their i
14:52
don't think maybe I did twenty some
14:54
years ago but it's part of the
14:56
club tour that I'm doing to prepare
14:58
for the I'm. for my special
15:00
and so I looked as. The.
15:03
Charlotte comedies own. Okay,
15:05
it's very. Informative Google that makes
15:07
that's. That. Makes sense He and like a
15:09
very straightforward. Like I did. He knows. He had no no
15:12
no not yet no nonsense. I wanted to see
15:14
if I knew the other comedians that we're going
15:16
to be at the club and and the same
15:18
month that I was gonna be there and. That's
15:21
exciting by the way the sun near
