here. I think you'll

1:43

have a great time here. So,

1:50

hello again and welcome to another episode of Quick

1:53

Question with Soren and Daniel the podcast. We're two

1:55

best friends and comedy writers. Ask each other questions

1:57

and give each other answers. I am one half

1:59

of that podcast. senior writer for last week

2:01

tonight with John Oliver, author of How to

2:03

Fight Presidents, and jack

2:06

up a few other trades, but I never talk

2:08

about it because I'm so shy. Daniel O'Brien joined

2:10

us always by my co-host Mr. Soren Bowie. Soren

2:12

say hello. Hello everybody,

2:14

I'm Soren Bowie. I'm a writer for American Dad.

2:18

If you didn't already know, Daniel,

2:22

are you painting? Me?

2:26

So for our listeners who are just

2:29

listeners and nothing else, in case you didn't

2:31

know, this podcast is also in video form

2:33

now. You can find it on YouTube at

2:35

the Quick Question YouTube channel. And

2:38

what you're missing if you're just listening is

2:40

I'm so embarrassed and shy. I didn't even

2:42

realize behind me is a fresh

2:45

painting that I made recently

2:47

of a

2:50

boat sailing across a reflective

2:52

water. Soren is shaking his head.

2:55

Soren? I was gonna say that's what,

2:57

can I just get over your shoulder before?

3:00

And it's sort of like,

3:02

oh, it's a sailboat. I

3:05

thought it was some gentleman, I thought it was like

3:07

Washington crossing the Potomac where it's like a bunch of

3:09

guys standing up. And

3:12

I was like, it's a sailboat. It's

3:16

a white sailboat on over the

3:19

black silhouetted hills and the

3:21

sun either setting or rising depending on

3:24

whether you're an optimist or a pessimist. It's

3:27

not really clear to the artist. So I think

3:29

that kind of ambiguity is important for the piece,

3:32

actually. And look at you sip from your

3:35

American Dad mug. What a branded day we

3:37

were having. This is

3:39

I did a paint

3:41

and sip class with my fiance and

3:43

my mother, which I've never

3:46

done before. I don't know if you've done one of those, but this

3:48

is the product of that. And

3:50

it was a super fun time. I highly recommend paint

3:53

and sip classes. And it's

3:57

beautiful. I did a really nice job. Right

4:00

you must be proud of me. I'm

4:03

like annoyingly proud of it. Yeah, I'm

4:05

like really proud of it Then then

4:07

I should be because the class is like it's

4:10

designed to let everyone Leave

4:13

with a painting that looks like the thing it's

4:16

supposed to look like while they're drinking

4:18

So I know in the back of my mind that

4:20

this isn't I Probably

4:22

not actually a painter But

4:24

I don't know I'm kind of a painter look

4:26

at those trees you kidding me. It's

4:29

really gorgeous didn't she take it, too She

4:32

did yeah, and she Way,

4:34

no here. We go robe with

4:36

hers and because everyone else They're

4:39

like we're doing this thing and here's

4:41

the sample and it's like this brownish

4:43

reddish umberish yellow sky that

4:46

we're all gonna do together as a class and Shay

4:49

was like I would like to do a blue sky said with

4:51

no sun and have a big moon shining down and it was

4:53

like Far and

4:55

away the best one in the class. I'm not just saying

4:57

that because we're gonna get married it was like very

5:00

clearly the teacher was going around

5:02

and stopping

5:05

at everyone's easel and saying like Just

5:08

like fixing things things that that I did wrong

5:10

Where's like we're gonna paint over this and then

5:12

you could redo the boat the best you can

5:14

or like just some tips But how you can

5:16

make your trees better and then the teacher stops

5:18

at Shay and like like pauses

5:21

the way like a Talent

5:24

Scout sees a young prospect. She looks at the

5:26

work that Shay has done and is like for

5:30

everyone else she was Fixing things

5:32

for Shay's she was giving tips to enhance

5:34

things It's like you know what you could

5:36

do you can use because your moon is

5:38

here You could add some light hitting

5:41

the trees just here. Yes. Yes

5:43

That's it. There's the two like it just clearly

5:45

in a different class the two of them the

5:48

rest of that's not what I anticipated I expected

5:50

you to come out of this and having done

5:52

the assignment with an A-plus and like how frustrating

5:54

that would be for Shay, but instead it's the

5:56

other way around No, yeah, she

5:58

went rogue and still defeated everybody.

6:01

Let me just say really quickly, Daniel, and

6:03

it's something that's I've been looking

6:05

at in it and I want you to be happy

6:07

with your painting and I think it's good. I know

6:09

celestial bodies are not your thing. Space sucks

6:12

to you, but it's not a fuck to

6:14

me, Dan. Sure. And

6:17

where your sun is and where your moon is, there's

6:20

no correlation there. You're not

6:23

supposed to be there. There are two

6:25

moons. I'm sorry, where there are two

6:27

suns because you have a sun setting

6:29

and then you'd also need over, let's

6:32

pretend that we're looking like due

6:34

west right now. You'd

6:37

also need a sun over to

6:39

the south in order for that

6:41

moon to be doing that. This

6:44

has been another episode of Science

6:46

versus Art with Neil deGrasse Tyson

6:49

ruining everyone's day with his knowledge

6:51

of where space things go. I,

6:55

yeah, sometimes they hang out together. They

6:57

do not like that. No, they don't.

6:59

It was just an eclipse recently where they were

7:01

like great buddies. They were practically on

7:03

top of each other kissing. That

7:07

little thumbnail moon you're not going to get

7:09

with the sun down below. Here, I

7:15

was working on our show. We get

7:17

our screeners every once in a while where

7:19

we're like, here's the color model or like

7:22

the color screening. We watch it

7:25

and I got mad. I got

7:27

mad because this is the curious case

7:29

of the old hole. You see the

7:32

hole, which is like this

7:34

place where Steve has been going his whole

7:36

life with snot and then there's a beautiful

7:38

moon over it. And then within that crescent,

7:40

there's a star you can visible within the

7:42

crescent. And I was like, stop, hold everything.

7:45

What do you think the moon is? Like

7:49

in a really Neil deGrasse Tyson kind of way where

7:51

I was like, that's not how it works. You

7:54

can't have a star inside the

7:56

crescent of the moon. That's it.

7:58

That's it. It's just a

8:00

big thing that we don't see, that you're only seeing

8:02

part of, but it's a big circle. Art

8:06

exists in retaliation to people like you. Okay,

8:09

great. I mean, I'm telling you also

8:11

that I made a whole television show.

8:14

I know, that's why I was so nervous

8:17

about bringing up my artwork, because you work

8:19

for American Dad, which means as

8:21

a writer, producer on that show,

8:23

you draw Jeff,

8:25

correct? You draw Jeff every time he's answering it.

8:27

That's the only thing I do. The

8:30

only thing I do is draw Jeff. Jeff Fisher. A couple years,

8:32

if you get promoted, I think,

8:34

in two more years, you draw Stan. Do I

8:36

have that right? No, it actually

8:38

goes to Francine first. She's like the soft

8:40

one to Stan. Okay, that's cool.

8:44

Fuck, I think I can see some stars in your crescent.

8:48

So stars in my crescent? What

8:50

does that mean? Same thing

8:52

I've been saying. I can

8:55

see stars where there should not be stars, because

8:57

there's a goddamn moon in the way. I

9:03

like to think of those less like stars and more

9:05

like mistakes from someone whose wrists were getting tired from

9:07

painting for three hours. I

9:09

love it though. I love it. I think that it's

9:11

so... The

9:14

trees? How did you know to do trees like that?

9:18

How did I know to do trees like that? Yeah.

9:21

I don't know. The teacher was like, use this brush

9:23

and then do some light. She was like a very

9:26

phenomenally bad teacher. She was like, just take

9:28

your brush and then just like do some

9:31

leaves on the trees. Gorgeous.

9:34

And then I just started doing it. Gorgeous. Very

9:37

happy with it. Yeah. I fell apart in

9:39

two places. I fell apart on the boat.

9:41

The boat was obviously the most complicated

9:44

design and it

9:46

requires a steady hand that I don't have. And

9:48

I also fell apart on the moon. You see the

9:50

moon is kind of wobbly. It's

9:53

also... You can't tell by looking at

9:55

it, my second attempt at that moon. I did a

9:57

crescent moon and then I painted over it because it

9:59

was... bad and then I did a second also

10:02

bad version and and

10:04

just like ran with it because I couldn't do

10:06

a third moon you'd really think I'd

10:08

never seen a moon before that was the

10:12

the artist inside of you was telling you this should

10:14

not have a moon in it yeah fair

10:19

there was a part of me that was briefly tempted to like auction

10:24

this off to our viewers but then

10:26

I realized the charity would just be

10:30

me and then I'm selling

10:32

art and I don't think yeah I

10:34

don't think I'm okay with myself charging

10:37

money for art in this

10:39

particular way you really I think

10:42

yeah I think you should you should sell it

10:44

um also I love how you've

10:46

mounted it this isn't

10:51

where it normally lives for listeners who

10:53

can't see the video I have turned

10:56

a wire hanger upside down and impaled

10:58

the back of the painting and then

11:01

placed it really really

11:04

haphazardly on the bar behind me and

11:06

this is there there was a ticking

11:08

clock on this painting I was

11:10

very worried that you would say lift it up

11:12

let me see the rest of it and that

11:14

was just no that was no go

11:17

yeah well it's gorgeous Daniel

11:19

it's way far better than anything I could

11:21

possibly do myself and I'm so impressed with

11:23

your ability here this is really this is

11:25

like the beginning of something good I think

11:30

thanks man I

11:32

don't I don't want to get too

11:34

far ahead of myself but we did buy

11:36

a couple of easels and some paint sets

11:38

and some canvases so this is this

11:41

is the next thing yeah how is

11:43

that not getting to the guy I am now

11:45

it sounds like you're way

11:50

ahead of yourself well it's

11:52

just because it's not like it's not on my

11:55

business cards yet that I'm a painter oh okay

11:57

yeah that makes sense yeah but you know prior

11:59

you have provider of services on the card, which I

12:01

feel like serves a lot of

12:03

purposes. That's a heavy lifting

12:06

statement. Are

12:09

you going to – do you have a palette? Like do

12:11

you have something that you put all the paints on

12:13

and then you – Yes. Like you

12:15

squeeze it on like condiments? Oh, that's so exciting.

12:19

That's like the part of the painting that I think is the

12:22

coolest. I think that

12:25

the routine of putting that out,

12:27

mixing the paints together, the color

12:29

you want, like that stuff is

12:31

all very romantic to me in terms of like

12:33

somebody from the outside looking at painting. Obviously

12:36

somebody is an insider. It probably means nothing to you.

12:39

Yeah, boring. It's just math for me.

12:43

It was very soothing and very

12:45

relaxing to paint

12:47

in ways that I hadn't anticipated it

12:50

being because it's just – it's

12:52

repetitive and you're watching white

12:57

fade away and you're watching progress and

12:59

it's just very like – any

13:02

time, same as fisting or running or any of the other stuff

13:04

that I do that I love where you're

13:06

just like focused on a repetitive action on

13:08

one thing and sort of

13:10

blocking out all of the other noise, it's great. It's

13:14

puzzle solving. I mean I don't want to devalue what

13:16

art is, but like it is really along the way.

13:19

You're just like this isn't

13:21

working. How do I make this part

13:23

work? Yeah. There we go.

13:26

And you see the progress as you go and then you just

13:28

move to a new section and move to a new section. Right.

13:31

I love it. That's what carpentry is for

13:33

me. That's when I first started doing carpentry. I

13:35

was like, oh, open up the Etsy shop. This

13:37

is me now. Yeah. Should

13:40

we get into the show? I have

13:42

a quick question for you. Oh, the

13:44

show. Yeah. Let's do the show. Go

13:46

ahead. Hit me with a quick question.

13:48

I like this one. This is actually a

13:51

tweet from a writer that I

13:53

followed back in the day on Twitter back

13:55

when I was on Twitter. Her name is Reina. On

13:58

Twitter, she is QuakerReina. and

14:00

she's a comedy writer. And

14:03

I saw this tweet years ago, but

14:05

it just resurfaced on Reddit or wherever

14:08

I was browsing and I filed it away

14:10

for this. The tweet, Soren,

14:13

your wife has been kidnapped and is being

14:15

held in a location 30 minutes away. You're

14:17

driving to rescue her. It's a warm night and your

14:19

windows are down. Do

14:22

you listen to music on the drive there, yes or no? LAUGHTER

14:31

Do I have to say what I'm going to listen to? I

14:33

think that's helpful, yeah. OK.

14:36

It reminded me, while you're mulling

14:38

that, it reminded me of... Like,

14:41

I've never had to rescue anyone from danger or

14:44

anything, but, like, a

14:46

real-world emotional thing of going

14:48

through a

14:51

bad breakup and then having

14:53

a long drive from

14:55

where I was breaking up to my

14:58

home. And just, like, all I wanted to do

15:00

was just... I was just, like, so completely in

15:03

my emotions and in touch

15:05

with my feelings, just, like, thinking about it

15:07

and letting myself feel things and very, like,

15:10

present and shaking in with myself. But at

15:12

the same time, just, like, I can't... I

15:16

can't drive in silence. I can't, like... Just,

15:19

like, numb myself and

15:22

weep in silence. So let me, like, just hit

15:24

on the radio and, like, sitting there being very

15:26

focused on my pain and then also going, like,

15:28

well, no, not this next... Hey, it's

15:30

big tuna here with the carrot oil gun. I

15:32

want you to know, just that we've got the

15:34

Bee Gees. Right, it's like,

15:36

no, I don't want to hear anything exciting. I want

15:38

to hear something sad. And then there'll be a really

15:40

sad song, like, well, no, not this Pearl Jam cover

15:42

about the person dying in a car accident. Not that

15:44

sad. Give me, like, some middle

15:47

ground. Um... That's

15:51

tough. That's... Here's... My

15:54

real-world example of this is that my wife started

15:57

to go into labor in our house. mean

16:00

like, oh, like her water broke and now we have

16:02

a few more hours. Like she went into active labor

16:04

with our second child in our house. And to the

16:06

point where I was like getting the, preparing the bathtub

16:08

and calling 911 and being like, we're going to have

16:10

this kid here. And the last

16:12

second after a contraction, she went, if

16:15

we left right now, we, I think we could make it. Getting

16:17

her out to the car. She's on all fours in the

16:19

back seat, uh, because she can't even sit

16:21

down. And I'm driving

16:24

and asked

16:28

her while we were driving. What

16:30

do you want to listen to? Thinking like

16:32

this is obviously it's your day. You,

16:35

you could, you could do whatever you want today. What do you

16:37

want to listen to? And she was like, so

16:40

mad that I had asked that question

16:42

and understandably so. Now that I

16:44

have the beauty of hindsight. Uh, but

16:46

at the time I was like, you, surely

16:49

there's something like, still a calm you like, what do

16:51

you want? And, but what

16:53

I was doing was like, Hey,

16:55

make a decision right now. Make

16:57

a decision. I'm going to ask,

16:59

is the beauty of hindsight to,

17:01

to, to, to incept yourself and

17:03

go back in the past and,

17:05

and change events. Would you keep

17:07

it completely silent or would you,

17:10

is the move to pick the thing that you think will

17:13

suit her or just to pick anything?

17:16

Right. How emotionally intelligent are you? Are you going to

17:18

know what that is? That song is, or like what

17:20

it is that he used to go on. Is it

17:23

hit no birth even? Like, like, what is it that

17:25

you're going to put on that you know is exactly

17:27

right? And

17:29

I'm generally bad at that. Um,

17:32

yeah, but if I'm on, if

17:34

it's just me and I'm on the way and she's

17:36

been kidnapped and I have to go get her. I'm

17:39

pretty confident that I'm putting on some fucking

17:41

pump up music. I'm going

17:44

to get myself, give

17:46

yourself a real life soundtrack. 30

17:50

minutes away. Like, I'm going to drive

17:52

that dial. Perfect. I

17:56

am going to, I'm going to feel, I

17:58

want to keep. whatever emotion I've

18:01

got, like I need to keep

18:03

that amped because it's not like I'm just

18:05

gonna get there and they're gonna be like okay you made it

18:07

in 30 minutes, here she is. I feel

18:09

like I've got to be, I've got

18:11

to have my head on a swivel as soon as I

18:13

get there, first the violence. And

18:17

then if there, if you get to your destination

18:19

and it's like sometimes

18:21

when I'm coming home from the gym or the

18:24

store and the song I'm listening to I

18:26

really like I'll drive past my apartment if

18:28

it's not over yet. You

18:31

get to the good

18:34

part, I'll do a little U-turn at the supermarket

18:36

and come back make sure I got

18:38

to sing my favorite part of the song. You

18:40

can just park and do that. No,

18:43

and people that's people will see

18:45

me. They

18:48

can't see me when I'm driving. You're going so

18:50

fast you're just going to blurt some. Yeah,

18:55

I think that I'm putting on some pump-up music and

18:58

if I'm gonna decide on like what that is

19:00

I'm realizing also I don't listen

19:02

to pump-up music anymore. When I was in like high

19:04

school it was very important to me because you are

19:06

filled with a lot of emotions and also doing a

19:08

lot of sports. So you're like you're very in tune

19:10

with pump-up music. Even

19:13

when I work out I'm listening like Bode

19:15

Ver now. It's not, it's not, it would

19:17

excite nobody. A

19:19

lot of my running music is like

19:21

disassociation music. Something

19:24

to take my mind

19:26

somewhere else so I can just let my

19:28

body move this sack

19:31

of electrified meat forward. I

19:33

don't have a playlist that's ready for it's like you need to

19:35

be, you need to be tough

19:37

at your next destination. Do you

19:39

know what's most exciting about this to me and I can't stop

19:41

thinking about it. It's actually interfering with what I'm gonna listen to

19:44

is that as soon as you said that my wife has been

19:46

kidnapped and I have to go get her I'm

19:48

immediately so pumped that I get to put

19:51

on my gun. Oh

19:53

my god I don't want to dwell on that.

19:55

I don't want to talk about it. I

19:57

get to wear my little cowboy holster. I

20:00

get to put some little bullets and the little

20:02

pieces on it. And

20:04

then I get to put the gun on my hip. And

20:06

then I get to, well, I mean,

20:09

obviously make sure it's right in the mirror for a little while. Make

20:11

sure it looks good, make sure that I've got it cut, like

20:13

my poles are good. And then...

20:15

And I'm wasting time for doing a U-turn

20:17

at the supermarket to hear the end of

20:19

someone gets hurt from Mean Girls. You're

20:21

a hypocrite. Then I have to

20:24

go get in the car, realize that I'm

20:26

not comfortable to sit down with it. And

20:29

now I'm in a logistical nightmare

20:32

where I'm like, okay, do I take the gun out and put

20:34

it on the seat next to me? Because

20:36

that's not legal. Or

20:41

do I put it in the trunk? Do

20:44

I run back inside and get the locking case for it? Just

20:46

in case? Get in case. And,

20:51

okay, now that I'm finally, I've got it settled, I

20:53

put it in the back, I decided I went inside,

20:55

got the locking case. Now I'm gonna, I think I'm

20:57

gonna basically listen to pump-up music from when I was

21:00

in high school. So it's gonna

21:02

be early AFI. It's gonna

21:04

be like Black Sales AFI. And

21:09

it might... Who

21:12

else do I want to listen to? Mill and Cullen? Yeah.

21:16

Suicide Machines? Oh,

21:18

I'm gonna listen to Bouncing

21:22

Souls. That's what it's gonna be. Yeah. I

21:25

feel like I'm listening to some, I feel

21:27

like I'm gonna listen to Chapsue by System of the Down. System

21:30

of the Down. I'm gonna listen to some

21:32

more system and some dream

21:34

theater, because dream theater can be very aggressive,

21:36

especially when they're just doing their instrumental

21:39

stuff. Dream Theater is a prog

21:41

metal band. I know

21:43

that it sounds like a stereotype

21:46

of a playlist that I would make

21:48

for my day to day. Like

21:51

my cooking music is called Dream Theater. It's a

21:53

very reasonable guest if you've never heard of the

21:55

band. But they're like a prog metal, really tough.

22:00

guy kind of band that I listened to

22:02

a lot in high school and is good

22:04

to get the blood pumping and

22:06

I think my ending song if

22:08

I timed it right, even though it's not music

22:11

that I ever

22:14

opt to listen to, would

22:16

be the music that

22:20

horribly operates some like ingrained

22:23

tribalism in me is

22:26

that like flogging Molly, shivered up

22:28

to Boston song where

22:30

this was a couple years ago my

22:33

brother and sister-in-law got married, her

22:36

family is very Italian and we're Irish Italian,

22:38

we're more Irish obviously, O'Brien and

22:41

they had a band at their wedding and

22:43

towards the end of the night the band was like we're going to

22:45

play some traditional Italian song and it was like beep ba da ba

22:47

da ba doo and get all the Italian

22:49

folks having a good time and now

22:52

we're going to play an Irish song and they

22:54

played that flogging Molly's shivered up to Boston song

22:57

and it's a song that I don't

22:59

think about and I never

23:01

seek out but as soon as it started going

23:03

I was like up and jumping

23:06

and we all were, we were pumped

23:08

and like I just activate

23:11

this hitherto concealed

23:13

Irish pride in me that

23:16

was like this song is for us and

23:18

about us and it just like charged

23:21

me up and even thinking about it

23:23

now I'm ready to rescue someone's wife.

23:25

That's I love, my fiancee. I

23:28

love flogging Molly, that is a dropkick Murphy song.

23:31

Is it really? Yeah, they're great too, that's the one

23:33

from the department. That's how little I think of these

23:35

bands. Yeah,

23:37

that's a dropkick Murphy song. Dropkick

23:40

Murphy, also really great. The

23:43

Pogues right in that fit

23:45

right in there as well where

23:47

you're like there is something so,

23:49

god, if this was any other

23:51

culture, this is a very racist

23:53

thing to say but it's very primal. Like it's

23:55

a very animalistic like yes, let's go. That's what

23:58

I've felt to me when And they were playing

24:00

that music and I was jumping up with all

24:02

the Irish people in this wedding room like, am

24:04

I like this? Is

24:06

this in me? I

24:12

can't blame you at all, especially

24:14

after listening to a bunch of

24:16

like fucking, like that very jaunty Italian

24:18

type of music where you're like, you expect

24:20

to be drinking out of a, like drinking

24:22

Chianti out of like one of those

24:24

wine bottles with a basket on the bottom. And

24:28

then all of a sudden you get to do like this, this raceful

24:31

Irish song. That's wonderful. It's

24:33

a really great transition, a

24:36

great transition from the night is winding down

24:38

with the Italian music to fuck you, the

24:40

night is just starting, the night's never gonna

24:42

end. Drop

24:44

get Murphy's. I'm into it. I

24:47

like Irish punk. Like there's definitely a special place in

24:49

my heart for that. I'm gonna put on some as

24:51

well. Thank you for talking to me on my phone

24:53

as I was driving there to get my wife. And

24:56

then if it doesn't end in time, circle

24:59

around, do a quick U-turn and come listen, let

25:02

the song finish, respect the artist. There's

25:06

the two reasons for not having music. One of

25:08

them is, is if this is a non-hypothetical and

25:10

a real world thing, I don't know that I

25:13

will put on music because I might just be

25:15

so, I might be

25:17

like truly numb and not thinking about

25:19

it. There could be music, there could not be and

25:21

I wouldn't even know it. But the other thing that

25:23

occurs to me is, so

25:26

in this scenario, you are successful

25:28

at rescuing your wife.

25:30

That goes without saying that music or no

25:32

music, you are successful. You

25:35

stop the bad guys, whatever that means to

25:38

you when you're hypothetical and then you rescue

25:40

your wife, you get back in your car

25:42

and you go home. As soon as you

25:44

start the car, whatever was last playing is

25:47

gonna come on and she's gonna

25:49

know that. She's gonna know that

25:51

I was just done with the

25:53

traumatic experience of kidnapping. She's

25:57

like, I just can't wait to get home. and

26:00

be safe and you start the car. Was

26:02

that enough to bust that? Wow! And

26:05

she's like, turn the volume down. She's like,

26:07

did you put this on? Did

26:09

you go to Spotify and search

26:12

this on the way

26:14

over here? I

26:17

was at a light. It

26:19

was a very long light. Yeah,

26:22

I mean, the other option is that I

26:25

have on, yeah, whatever podcast I was listening to and I'm

26:27

just like, right. Well, it's the only thing on right now

26:29

and I've got to focus. Here's what I'm most concerned about

26:31

with myself is that I know that I'm going to get

26:34

to a light at some point. I'm going to

26:36

have to stop. Like maybe there's even cars going, which

26:38

like it wouldn't even be a possibility of me running this light.

26:41

I'm going to pick up

26:44

my phone for a second. Just see

26:46

what's going on in the world. I'm

26:49

going to be like, well, I mean, like,

26:51

let's see what's going on over at Blue Sky.

26:55

That's certainly fair. I have a

26:57

tick tick, which is my to-do

26:59

list app that I'm constantly consulting.

27:02

If I'm on my way to rescue my fiance and I've stopped

27:04

at a light, I would look at that and be like, well,

27:08

this wasn't on the list, so I probably can't

27:10

go to the gym now so I can push

27:13

that to tomorrow. What else am

27:15

I not going to have time to do now that I have this rescue

27:18

mission that we didn't budget

27:20

for? I wanted to play base. I guess

27:22

no. I guess, yeah, I guess that's all. It's all tomorrow.

27:25

I guess it's all future me. If we wrap

27:27

this up quick, I have about 45 minutes

27:30

I could still play base in when we get home.

27:32

Depending on, like, your emotional state, I think... I

27:35

wonder if I could convince her that this is helpful. Oh,

27:38

green light, green light. Okay,

27:41

sorry, everybody. Yeah,

27:44

I think I'm going to look at my phone.

27:47

It's not something I'm proud of, but I will likely

27:49

do it. I will likely be like, well, let's just

27:52

see if my show got picked up. Hold on. I'm

27:54

sitting at a stoplight thinking...

27:59

I mean, I know it's not... the most important thing in the world, but I have

28:01

a 653 day long duolingo streak and I

28:07

know once I rescue her, we're not

28:09

going to want to spend a second apart. This

28:11

is my last shot today. Yeah. To keep my

28:13

chain going. I think I

28:15

gotta do it. You know what?

28:18

The kidnappers are Spanish. I'm

28:20

going to turn around and go home because I didn't, this

28:22

is going to really fuck up my workout so it'd probably

28:24

be better if I biked there. Oh

28:27

yeah, absolutely. I'm just going to hustle

28:29

on the bike. My

28:31

earbuds are not charged. I'm going

28:34

to charge those for a little

28:36

bit. I'm going to charge up

28:38

those beautiful, beautiful, comfortable Raycons.

28:44

There you go. Got to get them

28:46

nice and charged. It doesn't even

28:48

take long for them to charge for

28:51

the battery to last super long. That's

28:53

one of the great things about them. The

28:55

best things about them. I think

28:58

I could bike there. I think that would be fine.

29:01

Although my hair is going to be weird for

29:03

being under the helmet. If I'm meeting new people,

29:05

I'm not sure that that's something I want. The

29:07

detail that I

29:09

love in Rayna's writing

29:16

in this is it's

29:18

a warm night and your windows are

29:20

down. Just a completely unnecessary detail. When

29:22

you want to open the music the

29:24

most. I know. Because certainly no matter

29:29

what, I'm not going to put on the air

29:31

conditioning when I'm on the way to rescue my

29:33

fiance. I'm not trying to be comfortable here.

29:38

I did run some lights when I took my wife

29:41

to the hospital when she was pregnant. That was

29:43

only one of the mistakes that I made was

29:45

I felt good about running the lights. That felt

29:47

like I was showing, I was demonstrating to her

29:49

that I was really hurrying. The

29:52

music was a big misstep. Are

29:54

you treating them like stop signs where you're going to

29:57

stop and then proceed when safe? Or are you hoping

29:59

to open the room? The rest of the world sees you. Okay.

30:02

No, I'm like, I get to the light, I'm making sure that the

30:04

coast is clear and then I'm going through it. And

30:07

apologizing to no one. Sorry, sorry.

30:11

And then, I felt like I started

30:13

to dig my way out of the hole there and

30:15

then fell into another just catastrophic

30:17

one when I took her to

30:20

the wrong entrance of the hospital. The

30:24

hospital has like an emergency entrance. And

30:27

then there's like another entrance for just

30:29

oncology or something like that. And

30:33

I went to that one, got out and I was like, my wife

30:35

is in labor. And they're like, well then you should go to the

30:37

hospital. And I was like, oh no, what does

30:39

that mean? You

30:45

got to go back. And so I get

30:47

back in the car, start driving again. And

30:49

that was, that was rough on her. That

30:51

was like, are you fucking kidding me type of

30:53

moment? The only saving

30:56

grace was that we got there, they got her

30:58

into a chair and they are so used to

31:00

seeing women come in being like, I

31:02

mean, or families, I should say, men and women coming

31:04

in, they're saying like, we're in labor,

31:07

we're in labor, we got, get us to a

31:09

bed right now because that's how everybody

31:11

feels. As soon as like labor starts, they're

31:13

like, we're the only people on the

31:15

planet, fucking help her. And

31:18

then, so they're like, they're like sitting in a wheelchair and they're

31:20

like trying to like sign her in and stuff. And I was

31:22

like, I don't think you understand, like she's in labor right now.

31:25

They're like, okay. And then we

31:28

finally get to a room, get her in

31:30

the bed and like they get a peek

31:32

at my daughter's hair. She's

31:35

crowning, she's coming out. And

31:37

they were like, oh fuck. And

31:39

immediately, like everything, then

31:42

we started getting taken seriously. But it

31:44

was just a real eye opening experience to get a peek at

31:47

how women in general deal with hospitals

31:49

where you go to a medical situation and

31:51

you're like, things are very bad for me.

31:54

And the hospital is like short tots. Let me finish

31:56

this cigarette first. The cards

31:59

were stacked against them because. as you come in and you're

32:01

like, I don't think you understand, she is ready to give birth

32:03

now. And they're like, is this the fucking guy that just drove

32:05

to the hospital gift shop? Is he telling us? Yeah. Well,

32:08

we don't know. Is he in our business? I

32:14

also don't know. Somehow during

32:16

that time, my car got moved and

32:19

I don't totally know how.

32:21

I left the keys in. There's a security

32:23

guard sitting outside, but there's no valet system.

32:25

You have to go through the other entrance,

32:27

another entrance to get a valet and everything.

32:29

But I got in and

32:31

I'm just in that roundabout,

32:33

the same way a hotel would have one. And I was

32:35

just like, the keys are in the car to the security

32:38

guard. He's like, I don't do that. And I just laugh.

32:42

And then later my car moved. In fact, we don't have a bat

32:44

at this hospital. It

32:47

wasn't stolen. I really relied

32:50

on the kindness of strangers in a way that I've never

32:52

had in my life. Where I was just like, I don't

32:54

mind if you left the door open. I don't know. But

32:58

it was really touch and go. We almost didn't make it. I

33:02

remember you telling me about that when it happened

33:04

and it's feeling incredibly tense. It's fun to talk

33:06

and laugh about it now, but it did seem

33:09

like a really tense in a way that

33:11

made me like, God

33:14

willing, we get pregnant one day and

33:16

that's what's in the cars for us. I

33:18

feel like just for safety,

33:20

I would move to

33:22

a hotel across the street from the hospital

33:24

for the last full tribe. I

33:27

just want to be there. I

33:30

was going to say, because we were, my daughter was

33:33

supposed to be born like two and a half weeks

33:35

or three weeks later than she was. And so we

33:37

were like, we had plans

33:39

for calling parents to come out and everything.

33:41

And all of a sudden we were in a situation

33:43

where we were like, oh, there's no help. We don't

33:46

have anybody here. And it was, to give you like

33:48

a sense, my wife and I left for the hospital

33:50

at 7 45. My

33:54

daughter was born at 8 30. So

33:57

like that, it was quick. Like

34:00

that's the time in the car and

34:02

the time getting to the chair and everything, the

34:05

bed and everything was like, that

34:07

was all seconds, like crucial seconds

34:09

where then the baby was like, was

34:11

there. And so it

34:13

was very scary. We were at home trying to figure out what

34:15

we were going to do and we called our

34:18

old nanny who was not supposed to be helping at all.

34:20

She like, we hadn't seen her in a very long time,

34:22

but we had no one else. And we were like, can

34:24

you please come watch Ronan? Cause he's still

34:26

asleep at this point. And we

34:29

get to that point where calling was like, I can leave

34:31

if we leave right now. And Maria is not there. And

34:33

I'm like, we're just going

34:35

to have to leave him. Like

34:37

she's going to come eventually, but we're about

34:39

to leave a four year old child, a home

34:42

alone because there's nothing else we can do.

34:45

And we were like prepared to leave him.

34:48

Um, for, you know, it would have been, he would have

34:50

been asleep and it would have been like five minutes, but

34:52

still that's a very certain prospect as a parent. And,

34:54

uh, we didn't

34:57

eventually weirdly on the way to the car.

34:59

She had another contraction, almost collapsed. I'm like

35:01

holding the screaming woman up at

35:03

five in the morning outside. There's people are walking

35:06

their dogs past being like, uh,

35:08

this is a, this is okay. Right. Domestic

35:11

thing. And then that's a, that's

35:13

a miracle scream, right? Just

35:17

shut up. I'm putting her in a car. And

35:20

then as we were like leaving

35:22

Maria pulled up and we're like, oh, thank God.

35:25

But it was a situation where like we hadn't,

35:27

we're out of options and we were like, we're

35:29

going to have to just leave our four year

35:31

old child alone for her for

35:34

an indefinite amount of time. Like it would have could have

35:36

been like, if something had happened to

35:38

Maria, like you never know, it was very

35:40

scary. Yeah. But

35:44

it all worked out. It did. It

35:46

worked out great. In fact, she was,

35:48

you know, she wanted to do, this

35:51

is for people who are

35:53

like considering having children. Uh,

35:55

she wanted to, she, with our first

35:57

child, she definitely did, uh, drugs. And

36:00

like, was it planning to do that with my daughter? And

36:03

there just like wasn't even time for any of that. It

36:05

was like, you get there and you're like, there's

36:07

no way that's even a possibility. You

36:09

just, by default, have a natural birth. And it

36:11

was like, oh, well, that took a lot of

36:14

things out of our hands, a lot of decisions

36:16

out of our hands. I'm

36:19

going to, I feel like, again, God

36:21

willing, future hoping. The second a

36:23

doctor says, congratulations, you're pregnant. I'll be like, I

36:25

was hoping for this. And then I wheel out

36:27

a giant suitcase. And we're like, we've got enough

36:29

to stay here for the next 10 months, just

36:32

in case. So we're going to stay right here.

36:34

We like this room. We're

36:36

going to stay right here. We can both work from home.

36:38

So this is good. And we're here now. And then whenever

36:40

the baby wants to come, we'll be ready. Did

36:43

I see that there's a Wendy's down the

36:45

street? That is perfect. That

36:48

is so perfect. Sorry, for Postmates

36:51

purposes. Do I, is there a sweet number or

36:53

do I just say hospital? I

36:56

think someone at the front desk pings me, wearing

36:59

a tons. You know what? I'm

37:02

by the end of this, I'm going to be sick of Wendy's

37:04

and I'm excited about that. That's so exciting. Okay.

37:12

Round two. Name something that's

37:14

not boring. Laundry? Computer.

38:27

question. You did have a question? No, I have a

38:29

question for you. Are you?

38:31

Let's see. You're- you're getting close

38:34

to 40 now, right? You're

38:37

like three years away from 40. Yeah,

38:39

I mean, I like to

38:41

think of myself as far from

38:43

30. What

38:46

does that even mean? You- do

38:48

you have, uh- Just taking

38:50

40 out of the- the sentence

38:52

is helpful for me. Oh, I see. Definitely

38:54

better. Okay. Do

38:57

you have any, um, like,

39:00

long-standing injuries that you're just like, um, it's now

39:02

occurring to me that this is just gonna be

39:04

something I'll have for the rest of my life,

39:06

that this isn't gonna be one that goes away?

39:11

Uh, yes and no. I

39:13

mean, there's no- well, yes,

39:15

yes and yes. And yes and no. Tell me your medical history

39:17

on a podcast, Daniel. There's

39:19

some- I have the- the- the foot

39:22

that I broke last year that I

39:24

never properly attended to, uh, and

39:27

just like started running again without waiting for it

39:29

to fully heal and without getting a consultation from

39:31

a doctor after the first doctor was like, that's

39:33

broken. Don't run on it. I

39:35

was like, fucking, doctors are quacks. Uh,

39:38

that never, I

39:40

don't think, healed 100%, right? And maybe

39:42

the bones will just like reshuffle in

39:44

a couple years and it'll be fine.

39:47

I can and do still run on it,

39:49

but I just know that like, this is-

39:53

this is different and like, I favor

39:56

my gait differently as I'm trying to

39:58

like, not- pressed down super hard

40:00

on some parts of my foot and I can feel

40:02

that shifting

40:05

things and like the

40:07

rest of my wretched body, my hips and everything

40:09

has to compensate for this

40:11

new posture that I'm doing

40:13

to treat with tenderness the parts that

40:15

I've hurt. What am I a

40:17

fucking poet? And the

40:21

other pain that is not specific

40:23

to, like I can't tie to an

40:25

actual injury is just persistent

40:28

knee pain from running

40:32

and I don't know that

40:34

it will either it'll

40:37

never go away because it's just like knee pain

40:39

that I have as part of my system now

40:42

or it'll never go away because I'm

40:45

never going to stop running until

40:47

it's medically impossible for me to do so because

40:50

I'll run fine and run

40:52

fine and run fine and run fine and then the

40:54

knee will start acting up and then I will wait

40:56

for it to act up less and then go back

40:58

to running again until it acts up again and then

41:00

I will run less and

41:03

my brother who's an occupational therapist and

41:05

we're on the same like running app so he sees

41:08

how many miles I'm putting on and how

41:11

fast I'm moving, he has

41:13

said in his expert

41:15

opinion that I am, it's

41:18

repetitive stress I'm running too much and

41:21

too fast. I'm

41:24

a very fast runner sort and

41:27

it's medically problematic how

41:29

fast I am. Everybody

41:32

knows that's how Bo Jackson hurt himself. He was too strong

41:34

to get a body. It's

41:37

truly, it's a

41:39

knee injury, it's really a brain injury because

41:42

it gets fixed or it gets alleviated if

41:44

I don't

41:46

run as fast

41:49

as I can every time I go out. Every runner that

41:51

I talk to which is like yeah you can have a

41:53

day of speed running a week and then

41:55

the rest of it make

41:57

a distance day, make a jacking day, make it just like

42:01

Don't make it in anything day, just run for the

42:03

love of running. And

42:06

it's very, even when I'm, it's

42:09

gonna sound like a prank, but I promise

42:11

I'm the villain here. Even

42:13

when I'm trying to go slow, I still end

42:15

up being faster than you

42:20

would think I'm attempting to go. No,

42:22

yeah, I get that. You have a speed that's like,

42:24

this is my comfort speed. This is what I'm actually

42:26

getting a workout from. And your body

42:28

will slip into that every single time you stop paying

42:31

attention. Yeah, that makes sense. And

42:33

especially if I have what's supposed to be like an

42:35

easy day, and then I look down on my app

42:37

and I see that like I'm pacing for a 7-12

42:39

mile, I'm like, well, it'd be a shame to

42:42

waste this. I might as well just keep going and see how long

42:44

I can keep up that pace. And

42:47

I get very proud of myself. And then I am

42:49

laid out for three days because I can't walk. So

42:56

the way that you're living is how I've lived my entire

42:58

life, which is, oh, shit, this

43:02

thing's not working right. Well, let's

43:04

figure out a workaround until that heals. But

43:06

assuming that like it's just gonna heal automatically

43:08

and that you're like not doing more damage

43:11

to it every single time that you're working

43:13

out or doing something on it. And

43:16

it works. I mean, it works up until you're

43:18

probably about this age. It

43:20

wasn't until around 40 where I

43:22

was like, I need

43:26

to actually let this thing heal. And what

43:28

a demoralizing and scary prospect

43:30

that is that you're not gonna be doing anything

43:32

for a while. And you're like, but all that

43:34

work I put in, all that work is gonna,

43:37

we're gonna lose it all. What if

43:39

I just do everything else? And then doctor or

43:41

somebody will be like, no, you don't understand. You're

43:43

aggravating it every single time you're working

43:45

out or running. And then you have to be

43:47

like, okay, so

43:49

I just don't do anything. And

43:52

they're like, yes, just try it. Try it for a

43:55

little bit. Like not long. And I'm like, how long?

43:57

No, like, I don't know. A month. I'm

43:59

like, that's fucking crazy. A whole month?

44:03

Anyway, I'm running into an issue where I have a

44:06

I am my

44:09

all of a sudden I was just like lifting one

44:11

day and my shoulder I wouldn't even confident that was

44:13

the shoulder There's like the shooting pain That was started

44:15

kind of like in my shoulder blade and was all

44:17

the way to my elbow and I was like I

44:19

don't even know where that was born from that was

44:21

that where that came from and it was the

44:23

first time in my life where I was like, well, I

44:26

should just stop right now and Like

44:29

not do anything for a week and see if

44:31

this goes away and even though I'm not gonna

44:33

feel it again in like three Days, don't still

44:35

not do anything Well, yeah, and I'm

44:37

doing the responsible thing Daniel You

44:41

did you eat did you completely stop the workout that

44:43

day? No Yeah,

44:45

cuz that's I would also not do that. I was already

44:48

I've done workouts where

44:50

I felt Sometime last

44:52

year a real like rip in

44:54

my chest and I and I knew that

44:56

it was gonna lay me out for a

44:58

while but I thought well,

45:01

this I Can't make

45:03

it worse by continuing my workout But I even

45:05

though like I definitely can my mind was like

45:07

this is this day is gonna go down as

45:09

an injury No matter what happens next. So I

45:12

might as well just Get

45:14

it in and also, I

45:17

don't know when I'm gonna be able to do this again because

45:19

of this thing I might as well get in a really good

45:21

one today. Yeah Just

45:23

build up some goodwill with my muscles.

45:25

Yeah, so yeah, I did not stop I

45:28

like moved it around and kept Moving

45:30

it just like generally in the air to see which movement

45:32

was the one that hurt the most and I was like,

45:34

okay we just avoid that movement that

45:37

movement and Probably

45:39

paid the price like I still it was for the next day

45:41

and then after that at that point I was like,

45:44

I'm not going to I'm not

45:46

gonna work out this for a while. I'm

45:48

running I'm running still that seems to

45:50

be fine but I am NOT

45:52

going to work out for the whole week and then

45:56

At if it's something that you're used to if it's like

45:58

brushing teeth to you when you're not Not doing it, you're

46:00

like, oh my god,

46:02

I feel, what am I doing? What

46:05

am I gonna do today? Maybe I should just go,

46:08

maybe I should just go. And like really talking yourself

46:10

down every single time to be like, no,

46:12

you don't need to do this. Your teeth aren't gonna fall out

46:14

if you don't brush them. It's

46:18

not fair. Right, it's

46:20

tough to give up your favorite

46:23

workout, even if it's in your best

46:25

interest. Like when I have to lose

46:27

running for any amount of time, it's

46:31

not just, it's such a house

46:35

of cards where I'm more

46:37

irritable because I've built running

46:39

into my meditation and

46:41

my disassociation and getting my mind

46:44

right and my solitude and

46:49

just all the non-mental

46:51

stuff, all the endorphins that occur when

46:53

you're doing that. And then

46:55

you mix in what

46:58

that physically does to your body, whether it feels

47:00

like it makes you trimmer or stronger. And

47:02

when you see that go, I

47:05

very problematically have connection

47:08

between how I think I'm looking and how

47:10

I'm feeling too. So it's

47:13

a whole lot of stuff

47:15

that gets lost just from

47:17

running that makes everything definitely

47:20

noticeably, measurably worse and

47:22

also intangibly worse in terms of just

47:24

like, it feels like I

47:28

skipped a meal every day or

47:30

it feels like I skipped, you know, I

47:33

didn't get a good enough sleep. Like you're missing some

47:35

foundational part of what you'd conditioned your

47:37

body to accept as normal is

47:40

just gone all of a sudden

47:42

and you just feel off kilter. There's

47:44

also just the built-in knowledge that it

47:47

took you a while to get to that point where it

47:50

felt like brushing your teeth, where you were working out

47:52

so frequently that it does feel like a piece is

47:54

missing each day. And

47:56

you know how long it took you to fall into that

47:58

routine. And you know how- easily you

48:00

can fall out of that routine. And so when

48:03

you're not doing it, you

48:05

are you're also fucking with your

48:07

own subconscious. You're like, maybe this isn't a

48:09

thing that I need. And you

48:11

don't want to be in that. That's like the scariest position to be

48:14

in a vault where you don't want to go work out because then

48:16

you're like, I'm back to

48:18

zero? Like that's the hard part. When

48:20

you, it's building the it's

48:22

building the knowledge that this is not

48:25

something that's a requirement every day. This

48:27

is just this is

48:29

a routine. This is just like

48:31

something that I do every single day. Because

48:34

I remember what I was like in

48:36

COVID and at my least healthy and

48:38

like at a real crossroads decision point

48:40

where I was like, I can force

48:43

myself to run every

48:45

day like starting from zero because I've taken

48:47

so much time off. I could force myself

48:50

to get back into it, force myself to

48:52

work out in my apartment. Or

48:54

I could just

48:56

completely go the other way and just decide

48:59

to be like, like

49:01

a fun chubby guy.

49:04

And just like, like

49:06

change my personality too. And he's like, be that kind

49:08

of person. And that's and that would be like,

49:11

we just need to make the decision and

49:13

then stick to it because this strange in

49:15

between place where I was out of shape

49:17

but dressing like a fit 25 year old.

49:19

That's no good. So I need to go

49:21

in one way or the other. And

49:24

I chose the fitness route. If I was

49:26

in a position where I

49:28

couldn't run for two

49:30

or three months, that conversation would

49:32

happen again. And I don't know if I'm strong enough to

49:35

choose the path that I want. I might just be like,

49:37

well, just be a guy who's got like a really in

49:39

shape mind. Sit down all day. That's

49:41

and there's nothing wrong with that. I mean, if

49:43

that's absolutely

49:48

fine. But like it was I was

49:50

also in the position where I was

49:52

like, it's not gonna it's not tenable

49:54

anymore. The way that I want to

49:57

eat. I will continue to

49:59

gain weight. And

50:01

it will be a type of weight that is tougher on

50:03

my body Like

50:05

it's like I can feel it already I can feel

50:08

being winded when I go upstairs and stuff or like when I Sit

50:11

down and like my pants do a weird thing in the

50:13

back where they fold a little bit like I don't even

50:15

know what Where this what this thing is

50:17

do you know I'm talking about where like the back

50:19

of your jeans will fold in the back when you

50:21

sit they will they open up like

50:25

Like an eye basically like you sit down

50:27

and like the weight from your your

50:30

lower back like they it spreads

50:32

the slack forms in

50:34

the back of the jeans and Opens

50:37

up you don't you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm

50:40

not even close to know what the fuck you're talking about That's

50:44

having a hard time explaining this. Yeah,

50:46

same way. We also have we famously

50:50

have wildly different butts

50:53

you and me so we just might We're

50:56

working with entirely different sets of cards when

50:58

you're wearing a shirt that's got buttons on

51:00

it And it's too tight and you sit

51:03

down The way that

51:05

the up at near like the chest where they just

51:07

like buttons have a lot of tension on them But

51:09

they kind of split in the middle like in between

51:12

they can get that gap all of a sudden It's

51:15

that but with jeans like you're getting

51:17

the points of tension are Not

51:19

pulling the jeans taught like the tent points of

51:21

tension are actually creating slack in the very middle

51:24

It just always felt like that's where oh, I

51:26

made me realize. Oh, this is why you can

51:28

always see Plumbers

51:32

crack I Get

51:34

that now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I do

51:37

understand. Okay, and so I'm explaining as

51:39

I was dealing with that I was like I

51:42

don't Yeah,

51:44

I either need to change my entire wardrobe

51:46

and like get it get this solved Or

51:49

I need to like figure something else out and

51:51

I need to I need to do stuff that

51:53

I've never done before I need like do car

51:55

people. I Need to figure it out. And

51:58

so I was like, well, let's just try it. Let's try for

52:00

a little while and that's always the easiest way

52:02

to do it is that you say to yourself,

52:04

well until this event or whatever and now I'm

52:06

living basically event to event to event where I'm

52:08

like well I know I've got Daniel's wedding coming

52:10

52:33

53:04

you? Yeah I think so too do you have

53:06

a do you know how to wrap up? Yeah

53:08

I do I love our wrap

53:10

ups because it is like somebody slapping their knees

53:12

and standing up after hanging out with friends it's

53:14

like oh well I

53:16

should be hitting the old

53:19

duffin trail. You can find

53:21

D.O.B. wow I can't believe

53:23

I called you D.O.B. Man you

53:26

know what I was looking at your Twitter handle when I said that. I don't think

53:28

you ever do that. No I don't. You know

53:30

it was funny Sean Riley or Sean Baby as

53:32

people will know him one of

53:34

the first few times that we hung out with him he

53:37

called Daniel Dobb which was

53:39

like whoa that's a slig. I

53:45

think there were a few people doing that because

53:48

D.O.B. was in like branding

53:50

on the columns that I was writing and it

53:52

was before we had done videos

53:54

where someone could say out loud D.O.B. and

53:56

so I think there was a lot of like people

53:59

would write comments on

54:01

articles and they would write

54:03

out Dobby as like a

54:05

nickname of D-O-B. I thought,

54:07

oh, you're pronouncing that in like a totally

54:09

different way than I had intended. When

54:14

they're all capital letters, there are rules. I

54:17

know. And like

54:20

the idea that there were some people walking

54:23

around this earth looking at me and thinking

54:25

there goes Dobb. Dobb. It's

54:27

so upsetting. Yes. Dobb,

54:29

I hope he finally got his sock. All

54:32
