supported by State Farm. I am a huge

0:05

fan of State for hims personal price plan.

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.

6:52

as Radical Street Some. I.

6:54

Did find when I was googled it

was them. Images of

6:58

Roxanne from a goofy

7:01

7:18

Since we're now, I got a lot

7:20

of Roxanne from a goofy movie. Oh

7:25

being like sushi so high and an animal.

7:27

7:31

There's. A change.org that says force

7:33

Dizzy to apologize for making Roxanne ways

7:35

to get to a thousand but I'm

7:44

not signing it. When. Whizzes posted

7:46

by two thousand and Eleven and isn't. Growing

7:49

one signature every month. So.

7:51

It sort of five years ago. Zero

7:55

Five. Years ago. As such a bizarre

7:57

time to start a petition for. when

7:59

that character came out. This

8:01

person said I want Disney to feel responsible for

8:03

me becoming a furry. Oh gosh.

8:07

The internet's full of interesting things.

8:09

Yeah. Maybe it haunts that person.

8:12

Okay, with that being said, number five, what

8:14

do you know more about than you should?

8:17

I don't know. I'm constantly surprised by the

8:19

depth of information I have on random

8:21

things. You know a lot about

8:23

Free Guy. She's been leaving me voice messages on the

8:26

phone about just different

8:28

plot holes in the movie Free

8:30

Guy. Wait, what is the movie

8:33

Free Guy about? I've never heard

8:35

about this movie. Okay, it's

8:37

a Ryan Reynolds movie where he's

8:39

a non-playable character in a video

8:41

game and he becomes

8:43

AI, like a sentient person and

8:45

starts like playing the game with

8:47

other people and everyone's like, who

8:49

is this guy? Who's playing this

8:51

character? He's playing his own character

8:53

because now he's AI and leaves

8:56

a revolution within the game and

8:58

then one of the people

9:00

who she, okay, this

9:03

is so hard. One of the players created like

9:05

some of the stuff that's like in the game

9:08

but it was like stolen from her

9:10

and her partner by Taiko Watiti and

9:13

then she, it's okay. It's just,

9:15

it's a really great movie and it's

9:17

really hard for me to explain right now. Well

9:20

now I want to watch it. When did it come out? Okay,

9:23

listen, it came out like two years ago, maybe,

9:25

yeah, two years ago I think. It is

9:27

a great movie. It's fun. It's

9:30

a great movie. I'm gonna watch it tonight and I

9:32

will tag you on Instagram and be like, Nicole told

9:34

me to watch this. Please do. It's my favorite movie.

9:37

As I share, what about you? I don't know. Nicole,

9:39

do you think I know anything more

9:41

than I should? I don't think you really know

9:43

anything. Honestly, I agree.

9:45

I don't think I really know. I think

9:48

I like stuff but I don't like... There's

9:50

nothing you geek out about? I

9:53

can't think of anything I geek out about. Yeah,

9:55

it's like things I enjoy and I'm like, that's

9:57

enough for me. I'm not studying it or like...

10:00

Interesting thing about you. You're

10:02

not like oh, I gotta

10:04

learn everything. I need to know about that You're

10:06

like like the ocean. She'll like literally turn to

10:08

me and go I've had enough ocean today, and

10:10

then she'll like Okay,

10:18

wait, I know you know too

10:20

much about like nice traveling like

10:22

all of her stuff is always like nicely

10:25

packed and then she's a person who like

10:27

Empties like a like a lotion into

10:30

a smaller tube of lotion so she

10:32

could bring it through TSA And then

10:34

like where's matching pajamas like I think

10:36

she knows too much about like living

10:38

healthy and nice and kind About

10:42

being an adult human being that

10:44

can travel through TSA yeah, and also

10:46

she doesn't get like flabbergasted while traveling we

10:48

were coming back in the country once and

10:52

The guy goes anything to declare and she

10:54

goes yeah her and then they laughed

10:56

and then he asked me something. I was like Like

11:02

I was just joking I was like

11:04

yeah, I'm declaring this

11:06

lady and he's like You're

11:12

like the stakes are too high right now.

11:14

I can't it's too much pressure. What's going

11:16

on? I think that's what I

11:18

said. I don't want it. I

11:21

don't want it I just had a friend who doesn't fly a lot

11:23

and I took her with me on a trip and we made it

11:25

through Security as

11:27

soon as we get on the other side

11:29

of the metal detector waiting for our bags

11:31

She jokes and says I am NOT a threat

11:34

Like as if she made it through

11:36

the metal detector and was celebrating by saying she

11:38

wasn't a threat And

11:41

I was like You actually

11:43

can't say that that is And

11:47

she's like I was just joking and like starts clapping

11:49

and I was like oh my god You

11:52

11:59

we got on the plane And she she said to

12:02

going to Vegas. She goes we're getting married in Vegas

12:04

and everyone looked at her and everyone was

12:06

like congratulations Nobody ever believes

12:08

that we're getting married and it's very frustrating to

12:11

me Nicole tries to do that

12:13

with us all the time because the

12:15

stories that Nicole creates are too outlandish

12:17

Like we were in Miami and we

12:19

went to a restaurant and

12:21

I think you maybe put like celebrating

12:24

Yes, I said we're celebrating an anniversary

12:27

And then the hostess was like

12:29

what's the thing and she was

12:31

like actually I just posted today

12:34

We were on Jesky, but I accidentally dropped the

12:36

ring in the ocean But she still said

12:38

yes, and then he's like okay, and then

12:40

like walked us to the table And

12:44

Nicole's like how come she didn't believe us and

12:46

I was like because that was a crazy story

12:49

I'm sorry. Do you enjoy that or do you

12:51

not like it? It's it's always funny, but no

12:53

I don't like it Yeah,

12:55

she doesn't like it It

12:58

been a cold like great. I'm gonna keep doing it Well

13:00

now I'll whisper things that I think I

13:02

shouldn't say out loud and you're not the only

13:05

person in my life Who's like can you not

13:07

do that? So I've had to learn you know

13:12

Alright that's it for Nicole buyer and sister's the

13:14

motto to stick around coming up after the break

13:16

We have a lease with five questions with rainbows

13:24

I This

13:29

episode of funny because it's true is supported by State

13:31

13:33

say that we exist in an era of

13:35

uber Customization where all of our music

13:37

and social media feeds are all totally

13:39

personalized to us for example my algorithm

13:41

15:20

A the the funniest one for me

15:22

was I and I don't even know

15:24

if he is aware that this happened

15:27

but a one of the times. One

15:30

of the few times I went to the

15:32

Golden Globes because of the television show The

15:34

Office. I'm. In a

15:36

it's a very funny of the Golden

15:38

Globes because there's two Worlds has the

15:40

world of film and the was the

15:42

world of Tb. So it's in this

15:44

giant ballroom at a hotel and all

15:46

of the film stars and film actors

15:48

are at the tables down on the

15:50

floor at the prime spot so the

15:52

cameras com spot them easily and within

15:54

they are more daring people that can

15:56

heal itself. Or your total else

15:59

Mm, a television, Those and especially the

16:01

comedy television shows are like in the

16:03

corner know level of access your met

16:05

by the exits and new you can

16:07

try to see the stage but you

16:09

know I miss the fancier says like

16:12

the H B O shows were kind

16:14

of more central and still up a

16:16

little bit so we were tucked back

16:18

in the corner. anyway. I'm one time

16:20

ah during the course of the show

16:22

I had p so I went into

16:24

the bathroom and there. Are

16:27

holding up at the exact

16:29

same time. Next to me

16:31

was Martin Scorsese and. I

16:34

I was like oh my god, I

16:36

don't I don't get starstruck very easily.

16:38

There's I mean, I've just met a

16:40

lot of celebrities as you do as

16:42

an actor and worked with actors and

16:44

stuff like that says I blah blah

16:46

blah But for me, Martin Scorsese's someone

16:48

that I would truly. Have

16:50

or up of response to like I

16:52

was I couldn't speak i i wanted

16:54

to say something the widow i say

16:56

i'm peeing next to him to I

16:58

looked down at his deck know of

17:00

course I don't settle. The bathroom situation

17:03

for men is so different to like

17:05

you guys are like right there. I've

17:07

never understood that there's no sloth fight

17:10

isn't. Our dividers. Where's.

17:12

Where shoulder to shoulder now

17:14

and we're doing our business

17:16

side. just exactly. And

17:27

talk about streaming service. Com

17:30

18:08

his bladder. and yeah, I know

18:17

where on the same. Cycle.

18:20

18:22

where that's that's powerful. That

18:26

story it's in the best there's lots ever gotten

18:28

a that crisis is it? Again,

18:31

never to what was your first job.

18:33

My first job is ah I was

18:35

a in child labor. I

18:37

was a child labor. I'm not

18:39

joking. I was twelve

18:41

or thirteen years old and

18:43

I lived in can a

18:45

suburban Seattle and there was

18:48

this job I heard about

18:50

picking fruit and. Ah,

18:52

You could pick strawberries raspberries at

18:55

these farms further out of of

18:57

Seattle and I in my family

18:59

was broke. I grew up with

19:01

no money. If I wanted to

19:03

buy anything I had to work

19:05

to earn it I would. I

19:07

didn't get, I didn't have stuff

19:10

and so I wanted to work

19:12

and. I i tried strawberry

19:14

picking as the absolute worst your down

19:16

on your knees they're very low little

19:18

pushes it killed me was awful and

19:20

then I tried one of the raspberry

19:23

farms and what they would do is

19:25

they would send the school buses to

19:27

kind of lived the little mini malls

19:29

of the neighborhood and these pre adolescence

19:31

would get on the bus and they

19:33

would truck you outs and. What?

19:36

They did he is you weren't an

19:38

employee, they just brought buses up there

19:40

and if you wanted to pick the

19:42

berries they would pay you for what

19:45

you picked so that they paid a

19:47

dollar twenty five per flat of raspberries.

19:49

So if you're if you're really fast

19:51

you could pick to in an hour

19:53

if the berries with fruitful and laden

19:56

but usually it's like of a flat

19:58

a platinum half stars essentially making my

20:00

two dollars an hour. I would go

20:02

every day and it was all swelled.

20:05

A fifteen year olds told child labor

20:07

and we are out there all day

20:09

in the hot sun am? I don't

20:11

think we weren't given any food though.

20:13

we're like water at the end of

20:16

the aisles and this doesn't really mean

20:18

guys would com and like they wanted

20:20

you to pick it clean right so

20:22

you couldn't leave your row and less.

20:24

State inspected it and made sure that

20:27

you had picked all of the fruit

20:29

from it. So so super illegal

20:31

it's they have felt super elite on.

20:33

I look back on and I'm like

20:36

how how the hell did that happen

20:38

and it was fun. It was social

20:40

to weed goof around in. there would

20:42

be like thirteen year old girls there

20:45

and you'd awkwardly try and talk with

20:47

them and you know a but sometimes

20:49

was ninety ninety five degrees and I'm

20:51

like I'm surprised kids didn't pass out

20:54

or could be staying sir. oh this

20:56

bites are muslim or stuff and then

20:58

I'm but you know at. The end

21:00

of the summer you'd get a nice

21:02

check for either. I don't even remember.

21:04

Fifteen dollars and enough Css. Are

21:07

probably two or three hundred dollars is Mike

21:09

that I remember buying a Boom box at

21:12

the end of the summer Nice which I

21:14

cherished. and I could play cassettes from Columbia

21:16

Record and say Cassette Club on it, but

21:18

21:22

Do. Your parents do that. They did.

21:24

They thought I was being a productive member of

21:26

society. They approved. They. Approved of their

21:28

thirty's Not seeing their thirteen year old all summer

21:30

21:33

21:35

21:43

21:52

21:55

I Love Preaching Six The point where I'll

21:57

21:59

22:01

lady Mad specific letter that's no not is

22:03

the first and I'm like that is so

22:05

delicious. Ethics: Isis have it instead of the

22:07

22:09

I eat something anyways. it's just it never

22:12

22:20

day long but they're healthy as experts that

22:23

that I tell my son just got it's

22:25

22:27

here does does sound and of its lasting

22:29

you Googled. I'm. Who

22:32

played Niels Bohr. In. The

22:34

Oppenheimer Movie. By. Christopher

22:36

Nolan. but I don't think. Ah,

22:39

I don't think they have Niels Bohr

22:41

in the film which doesn't make sense

22:43

because he was there are a Los

22:45

Alamos I helping develop a nuclear bomb.

22:48

So was I was reading this thing

22:50

about Niels Bohr. ah, and Heisenberg the

22:52

the German not. Theoretical. Physicist

22:54

and kind of that world is really

22:56

fascinating of theoretical physicists from you know,

22:58

turn of the century through the nineteen

23:01

forties that was like a new know

23:03

Einstein and his whole posse and in

23:05

were kind of everything kind of everything

23:07

we know about the universe was discovered

23:10

in a period of like twenty or

23:12

thirty years. It was pretty crazy is

23:14

so while yeah and. L a little

23:16

bit about Einstein when as in high school and

23:18

it made me and want to go to college

23:20

for engineering and so I atlas when I started

23:22

in college do it as an engineer and I

23:25

was planning on going on. I went to Orange

23:27

because college in in Orange County and then was

23:29

planning on transferring you Cla to that was like

23:31

a really good pipeline between As. To school

23:33

in the program and I quit. I

23:36

three years in says I just hated math

23:38

since I just couldn't Right at that. I

23:40

loved everything about you. Nearing in that period

23:42

of time was like. Oh my gosh, I could

23:45

just listen to this forever. And

23:47

mine was Does Pinero except

23:49

apple pay blessing I discussed.

23:51

Oh okay. good today and.

23:54

Video Yes it is your what? Oh and it's

23:56

They give you three percent. Guess that is easier

23:58

up your apple. Pay to see isn't it? That's

24:00

crazy, I didn't know that. Yeah, it is. Can

24:03

I make a confession to you? Yeah. I

24:07

don't understand Apple Pay. Honestly,

24:09

it's like your

24:11

phone stores your cards in your

24:14

phone and. Is that all it is? It's

24:16

a stored credit card in my phone? Yep,

24:18

also I think we have the same case. Oh

24:21

my God. Twins. Twinsies.

24:25

I only use it to buy things online

24:27

or like from Grubhub when I'm getting meals

24:29

delivered. But I've never gone to like a

24:31

store and like figured out. I'm

24:33

too embarrassed to say, how do I buy something with

24:36

Apple Pay? Same. And then

24:38

the shame of like, if it doesn't work, that's

24:40

so embarrassing. I even, your Apple Watch can double

24:42

as like Apple Pay if you can like triple

24:44

click and. I will never have an Apple

24:46

Watch because I don't wanna get texts on my

24:48

wrist. I turn all my notifications off.

24:51

I basically have it so that if my son has like

24:53

stolen my phone and dropped it somewhere, I can find it.

24:55

You can like swipe up and like use a little search

24:57

and it makes a loud noise. And I'm like, this is

24:59

worth $300 to me. My

25:03

phone is lost 24 seven. Okay,

25:05

and then last question. What do you know more about

25:07

than you should? Stuff

25:10

I know way more about than I

25:12

should is world religions.

25:14

Yeah. And history

25:16

of religions and teachings

25:18

of various faiths from,

25:22

you know, Hindu and pre-Hindu

25:24

stuff to Buddhism and Islam

25:27

and the Quran and stuff

25:29

like that. I love that. I love that you

25:31

loved it so much that you're like, I just have to get

25:33

this out on paper and write a book about it. Exactly.

25:37

That's kind of how it worked. Yeah. Kind

25:40

of like these ideas that have been

25:42

percolating for 20 or 30 years around

25:44

the interconnectedness of religions and

25:46

spiritual ideas and how to utilize

25:48

spiritual tools and ideas in our

25:51

personal lives and in the life

25:53

of our society. You

25:56

know, the answers are there in deep,

25:58

rich spiritual traditions from all kinds. kinds

26:00

of different faiths. And so,

26:02

you know, getting to quote the Vedantas

26:05

and the Upanishads, you

26:08

know, in a book, but also trying to have

26:10

it be funny at the same time is really

26:12

interesting. Was super exciting for

26:14

me. Yeah. So I'm, besides all the many

26:16

kinds of nerds that I am, I

26:19

guess a religious slash spiritual nerd

26:21

as well. That's

26:24

This This episode of Funny

26:47

Cause It's True is supported by State Farm. I think it's

26:49

safe to say I think it's safe to

26:51

say that we exist in an era of

26:53

uber-customization where all of our music and social

26:55

media feeds are all totally personalized to us.

26:58

For example, my algorithm brought me over

27:00

three different recipe videos that featured potatoes

27:02

just this morning. I don't know

27:04

what that says about me, but I did watch all three

27:06

of them. Well State Farm wants
