I watched this really interesting documentary with your pal Elizabeth Fargus. Oh really,
it's on A and E. Okay, and it's called Vanished in Paradise.
Oh, now you and I will relate to this, okay, because it's
about this young woman who vanished from like the Virgin Islands, some one of
the islands. Okay. She was a teacher in New York City. She
went moved to teach at a Monster. She was like thirty, She's young,
full of life, you know, really good swimmer, was doing like
triathlons and the o like all these you know, very strong, full of
life. And right before Hurricane Irma hit, there was hurricane remember there was
Hurricane Irma and then Hurricane Maria like a week later and just devastated those islands.
So Irma hit, and she there was video of her in the house
like riding out the storm, her mom saying that she's texting with her every
few minutes. The storm blows over. The island is just a mess,
just just I mean, like rooftops blown off, just debris everywhere. She
gets up one morning at eight thirty leaves her boyfriend. She was with her
boyfriend. Her boyfriend left the island because the other storm was coming and he
wanted her to go, and she was like, no, I got the
school year starting, I got my class. I gotta go take care of
So she got up at eight thirty. She was going for a swim and
then she was gonna go to school and take care of a kit. So
this is between hurricanes, between her hurricane right now, it's just a kind
of a mess. It was the first hurricane Irma whatever hit, so yes,
it was a mess. But then they got noticed that in a couple
of days Hurricane Maria was coming through. So people were like leaving and batten
down in the hatches. But she wanted she wanted to stay with her students,
so she okay, so she went. They it looks like she went
for a swim because her car was parked at a beach. Her passport money
was all in the car, which if there's hurricanes going on, I could
see why she's traveling with cash and a passport. Okay, is in her
car. The workers on the beach found her like sarong and flip flops like
like folded and put to the side where her keys are on top, and
she's just gone. Nobody has heard from her since there's coastguards looking for her,
and you think that maybe she drowned. They were searching, search,
everybody was looking for everywhere. She had a friend on the Island who was
talking to some other friend back home in New York City, and that person
said, she's missing again. This happened ten years earlier when she was working
in New York City. She was starting the new school year with her kids.
It was the same time of year. She I don't know what happened,
but she just her roommate said she left to go to work or whatever,
and nobody no contact from her. Nobody could find her, no word
from her for weeks. Okay. Then they somebody spotted her at an apple
store in like Manhattan, and because her flyers were everywhere, she's missing.
She's twenty three at this time, young school teacher. Missing. So this
guy up to her and goes, are you her name is Hannah? Are
you Hannah the one that's missing, And she kind of blew it off,
like no, no. Then they spot her at the New York This New
York Club gym, there's a couple locations of it. She was at a
bunch of locations, apparently going to the gym. They talked to the people
at the gym. They said she knew her code to get in and she
gave them. They said, oh, you're Hannah, and she they led
her into the club. She was going there to take showers, and then
again gone. And so the cops in New York City are looking for her.
Everybody's looking for her, except she's like hiding in playing sight, like
she's being spotted around Manhattan. Then there was a faery captain. Hold on,
had she when she was spotted in New York and she was missing?
Had she left all her stuff behind then too? Yes? Okay, So
she went to the Apple store to sign into her account. She signed into
her account and then logged off really quick because she didn't have her phone.
She left everything in a car, so I guess it was unclear. But
yes, she didn't have anything, okay, So they couldn't they couldn't find
her. So Mom's texting her like this is going on for three weeks.
Then this fairry cook boat captain is like, you know, going from Staten
Island to the whatever. He's in the river and he sees like this head
bobbling up and down, face down in the in the in the river,
and they scoop her up. She was minutes from dying. She was dehydrated,
she was sunburned, she was face down in the water. They took
her to the hospital. She had this was the first time. This is
the first time. Okay, this was ten years earlier. So they start
the story with her at age thirty three missing from the Virgin But then they
go back and go because their friends are like, well, she was missing
actually two times before this third time. Yes, so they fought so they
can't. They take her to the hospital. They're like, you're what you
know? She knew her name, and they were like, we've been looking,
you've been missing, and she's like, what is everybody? She had
no idea what anybody? She said, it was like ten minutes from it
felt like ten minutes from the point for where she got out of her car
to walk to work to then all of a sudden in an ambulance three weeks
later. She had no idea what happened. She was in a fugue state
they call it. And this fugue state can happen to people and it's it
is it like mental illness or is it something that happened to her brain or
what It usually is triggered by something trauma. They talked to her mom.
She's like, as far as I know, she hasn't had any real trauma.
Talked to her friends. They were like, no, we don't know
of any real trauma. She was always happy, always whatever, you know,
loved her school, her job as a teacher was athletic work out.
Always loved the water. So she ended up in the water the first time
the second time, so she went saw doctor about it and they he was
like, yeah, it's like one in a thousand that it can happen to
people. Okay, this fugue state where it's amnesia, they don't they call
it the Jason Bourne syndrome where they don't know what like what, They just
it's they don't remember anything, like time will go by and it can go
on for maybe a couple of days, or it can go on for years.
Yeah. So then the second time it happened before the Virgin Islands.
So she's now six years away from you know, the first time it happened,
and she's in therapy, she's you know, seeing doctors. The doctors
told her it probably won't happen again, you know, but we can't be
for certain, but it you know, and they don't even they couldn't even
tell her any triggers to look for for it to happen. So she was
kind of just you know, she gave an interview with the New York journalist
about it because it was all over New York blah blah blah. Anyway,
So then six years later or something, she does it again. She just
goes missing, but this time she was missing for like a day, and
she showed when she came to. This time, she was sitting at a
creek at a body of water. Oh wow. And she was like dirty
and a mess, and her mom was looking for her and she realized what
happened. But she came to. She was like, so it's always been
by water, and it's always was around late August early September, that time
of year because it's a new school year. And her friends did say that
she was always stressed at that time of year. Now, with these hurricanes,
that could have been stress that could have triggered it. But now she's
missing, and she's been missing for now, it's been like six years she's
been missing. Oh my god. And her mom went moved to the Virgin
I went looking for her, a hired private investigator. There was so many
everybody was looking for her too, because they all these look by the way
Virgin islands. There's like eighty of them, so she could have if she's
a very good swimmer. They talked to like experts. If she's a really
good swimmer, she could have swam to the next island over. And you
know, but at this like some as time goes on, you would think
like where is she getting her money? How is she? Oh? And
the captains or the experts at the Virgin and said she could have easily,
between storms, went to other islands without her passport because it was so chaotic,
nobody was checking passports, so she could have gotten on one of those
other boats. She could have made it to someplace else. She could be
literally anywhere. And her mom is still, of course, holding out hope
that she's out there. But it was an interesting, crazy story. What
is it on? What's it on? It's on A and E? Yeah,
A and E and it's called Vanish. Oh my gosh, that sounds
so good. Yeah, Hannah up is her name? Yeah, it was
really And then I was thinking about me and you, and it's like that's
just like every other Wednesday for us. John's like where'd you go? I
don't know. We're so forgetful, like but yeah, you know, it's
a real thing. People can go into this fugue state, and I have
is. I mean, I've never heard of it though before I know,
so, like it's obviously not very common. It's not very common. And
then they showed they did say that Jason Bourne, because I guess in the
movies he does like show up somewhere and he doesn't know, he doesn't remember
his past. I don't really watched born movie. I remember watching Unsolved Mysteries
a lot. You know, We've talked about this, uh, because I
love to help solve the mystery. I never really can, right, So
he's somewhere else where I've never lived. Yeah, and I'm like, well,
let me see if I recognize anybody, you know. Oh yeah,
give me a number on the screen that I can call into. Also,
what I can do, you know, look at Google Earth. Maybe you'll
find her. Yeah, yeah, I'll put the pieces together, like I'm
here to help, you know. Yeah, but I remember, so my
my husband, he may know, is called John. He used to I.
Okay, this is gonna sound terrible for my marriage, especially just after
having Kate, you'd think, but I believe that he worked on Unsolved Mysteries
briefly. He for sure worked for a long time on Rescue nine one one,
but all these shows, like that's his background, was working on all
these reality shows anyway. So I remember the first time I met, and
I was obsessed with watching unsolved mysteries, and so the first time I met,
I think it was the fact that he hadn't worked there very long,
but he had a very good friend who worked there like for years. And
I remember watching one of these ones where it would like people go missing,
right, and it's like I remember watching the one specific one where this the
wife, her husband just disappeared one day and then there'd be these random sightings
like somebody thought they saw him, like on a train or whatever. But
and he'd been acting like disoriented or whatever for the days leading up to it,
and then all of a sudden, he was just gone. And I
was like, oh, And there was like more stuff about it, but
I remember thinking like kind of supernatural stuff, and so I couldn't wait to
ask John's friend, this woman named Annie, and I was like, so,
I have to ask you about this one case that's like haunting me.
And I told her I described it to her, and she was like,
oh, yeah, that guy wanted. That guy just took off like he'd
made himself disappear. Yeah. She was like, it's really common. She
goes a lot of the disappearance stories are people who they just want to they
disappeared. Yeah, that's crazy, Like whatever happened to just like ghosting?
Right, I mean I guess that's a severe form of ghosting, right,
but like really you're gonna but it's people from like long term marriages that they're
just like, yeah, well remember Elizabeth uh Newton John Olivia yea John's husband,
y right, fucking asshole. Yeah, just she was looking for him,
right, and now he disappeared. Yeah, that he was missing.
He was a missing person for years. Yeah, he went off somewhere and
like remarried somebody. I mean, it was crazy. Hell do people do
that? And why? And why it's so cruel? What I mean that
seems like And then I mean, do any of those people go, oh
shoot, I was in a fugue state, my bad. I had no
idea what happened in the last three years, Like, no, we were
looking for you everywhere. I was like, I have it, I don't
know here I am buy the water by the water, I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, I was really bummed when I found out that there was
no supernatural anything involved in those disappearances. It was like, no, you
just left. How do they do? Like what do you pay for a
new passport and ship like that? Like do you hire like the vacuum guy
and breaking bad? Did like relocate you? I know, like is that
what happens? I know, it's so interesting. It's like you think it's
like sleeping with the enemy level where Julia Roberts, you know, has to
fake her own death and stuff. And you think, like, okay,
I understand that. Yeah, if like your you think your husband might kill
you, But what if you're just bored? Right, You're just to hear
John sing that same song or Landscape physical in the eighties, I'm fucking tired
of this time to bounce. But then you go through all that. Yeah,
I know it's weird. It seems like it would be easier way to
get out, but you think, yeah, I mean hire Kate Anthony,
right, you know, yes, you're out with the talkings coach, yes,
right, right, right, Caitlin, have you seen anything good recently?
You think she's going to get out of you know, you're our producer
you because now he's got the big screen right now, you can't see me
anymore. We can't. Yeah, you know what, me and Amy have
been watching like a lot of uh Bravo stuff, you know, vander Pump,
Blow Deck, Real Housewives. Yeah, are you watching Real house Eves
of Beverly Hills. Yeah? I cannot wait for that reunion? Yeah?
Oh, which we which will have aired already, the first part will have
aired. But is it coming to this? Oh? Yeah, it's Wednesday
night, right, And I really I kind of just you know, you
know, I'm not like really paying attention. It's kind of whatever. You
know. These people are all housewives, but none of them make me very
angry, except for one of them. A lot of them I can't watch
with that being like, I really don't like this person. Erica Erica Erica
Dan. Is this the worst person in the world. I don't know if
you saw it, but like she's in like Cabo or something, and she's
all like happy that she won her super expensive ear rings because that money was
supposed to go to what those victim's family of a plane crash, and just
that look on her face, that fucking disgusting, I know, infuriates me.
You should watch The Housewife and the Whatever on Hulu. Oh right,
it's about the guy. Right. Well there's a part too, there was
two. Yeah, so there's a part two that just came out too that.
Yeah, The Housewife and the eRASS. Yeah, it's just it's discussed.
Like we were talking about this a couple of weeks ago, bout her
ear rings and ship. Yeah yeah. But then her whole thing being like
I just don't really need people to apologize to me, you know, like
I think they all know, they all though I'm right, and I just
find it very upsetting that only Crystal apologize to me. It's like, what
do you need an apology for, bitch, You're the one that should be
doing an apology tour, right Yeah. And then she I forget what it's
for. But she has some like performance at Sofi Stadium and they're all like
dance that. Watching her dance around, I was like, oh God,
I hate this woman. Yeah, for so angry that this is happening.
She does Madonna prayer while she's even chewing on a a thing too, like
Madonna used to do. Madonna would chew on a mint before the show,
and she's doing the same d I'll do the prayer like the fuck by the
way. And what I heard it's expensive to baby, it's expensive to baby,
and she I heard that her her whole residency thing, like tickets were
going for like seven dollars or something. Did you hear that, Like I
heard that it was not doing well? Okay, I read on Reddit.
I didn't. I don't know that it wasn't doing well. I mean,
I fully believe that there's no reason I wouldn't think it was doing There's no
reason to think it was doing well, right, But I read on Reddit
that somebody was in Vegas at a show at the place where she was doing
the residency and asked if she was still doing the residency, and they said
no, but they told her that the people that worked on the main showroom
floor hated it when she was there because she was like a total bitch,
yeah, rude to everybody. And that also she insisted that she had a
private elevator. It was a House of Blues in Vegas, and that she
wanted to have a special elevator where so that so that people wouldn't be able
to approach her. And I guess they said that like no other performer like
big names, right, no one else had ever asked? No, Yeah,
did not need a special private elevator for her? What the heu hell
do you think you are? I know? All right, let's take a
quick break. Oh, let's talk about Honeylove. Oh why wouldn't we I?

Yeah, I'm trying to think I watched well, I was telling you
last week that I watched Lost in Translation as a throwback. But I know
you haven't. Have you seen Lost in Translation? Kaylin, No, I
have not. It's a really good movie. And I realized that Scarlett Johansson
was like Elvie's age when she made that movie. Oh yeah, yeah,
it's interesting. I gotta watch it. Yeah, it's interesting. It's Sophia
Coppola, oh movie. Yeah yeah, yeah, she directed it. Yeah.
And Bill Murray's in it. Do we know if Bill Murray is supposed
to be an asshole? Yeah? I don't. No, I think he
is supposed to be. Is Kaylin any idea? I guess I guess I've
heard that. But I've also heard the flip side too, that he's really
cool and like down to earth and you know, fun and funny. But
I guess i've heard that as well. I've heard Yeah, I don't know,
I get him, and the other one from SNL dan Ackroyd, Yeah,
not dan Akroid. And there's the Chase. Is he the asshole?
I can't remember. Well, here's the thing. Chevy Chase has a reputation
of being a yeah, being horrible, okay, but I see and I
hate it when people go, well, he was always nice to me.
But I had the one experience where I was shadowing, where I was driving
a Limo and I was being trained, so I drove with the person who
was driving Chevy Chase to the airport that day, and god damn it,
he couldn't have been any nicer, so fun, he was joking around,
he was really like talking to the driver and he was talking to me and
he was like telling funny stories and like he was and gave a huge tip.
So like, I guess everybody else is wrong, all right, that's
what I think. Oh, I Okay, I did want to tell you
this and we can go back to talking TV. This is everybody is going
to be like, see, you are a go getter. I still think
I'm a no getter, but this is what's happened to me. I was
on I went so, you know, at our kids' school, they have
these zooms. Once a month they have a zoom with like the parent committee
all the people that are you know, wanting to help and volunteer and be
part of things. So I was on there and they were trying to get
people to sign up to be in charge of committees. By the way,
our ex you're our ex producer was on there. Interesting. Yeah, she
does not acknowledge me. It's weird too because there's there were like twelve of
us anytime. Maybe she doesn't know, she knows, Oh she knows,
she knows. Yeah, I mean it's interesting. But anyway, so there
was this other mom on there. When I went and judged the speech and
debate, I was working with this other mom because isn't it when you volunteer,
it's always the same, the same. Here's the same ten people are
volunteering for everything. So I see this mom, she's so super nice.
I really like her. You know, I don't even know her that well
and we didn't talk that much, but she's just got a low key cool
vibe upper. So she messages me in there and she's like, hey,
do you want to head up the fundraising committee with me? Wow? And
I was like, oh, holy shit, no, I said, uh,
I don't think. I said, that's a pretty big I go,
I'm already kind of like doing the staff breakfast every month, and I'm also
the liaison between the music teacher and all the parents. And she was like,
yeah, that's a lot, but like, you know, we want
to do it, like you know, and she goes, I don't think
it's like that involved and famous last word. So nobody's volunteering to head up
some of these committees. So then I was like, well, let me
think about it. And she's like, okay, yeah, no problem.
And then like ten minutes later, she's just like, hey, so,
like, did you think about it? I met? I go, I
was thinking I wanted to think about it for like a few days. I
was like two hours, and then I said, well, what is it
going to entail? Do you know? And so I had I was late
onto the meeting because I was teaching, and so anyway, she sends me
like what we're going to have to do? And I'm like, it doesn't
sound that bad. And then I just had this moment Lynnette, and I
know you can relate to this, but your kids go to a really big
school, so it's different. But I feel like you would be like me
if it was a small school. Yeah. I had this flash where I
was like, you know what, but Elbie went to a giant high school.
I did not. I barely. The only time I was ever even
on that campus was a couple of times when I had to pick her up
Isaac. You know, I literally have never walked around. I've never done
anything. I've never I went to back to school night one year, then
the rest of them the second year it was online, and then I never
went again. I'm like, I have these kids at this school for two
more years. Yeah, and that is it. They are sophomores. So
we got the rest of this year and we're talking about doing something that starts
next year. And I was like, what I might not, I'm gonna
do it. And so I told her, I go, you know what,
Yes, I was like, my kids don't mind. They like it,
they like me to be involved. They think it's cool. Yeah,
I might as well just embrace the fact that, like I have a very
flexible schedule, I can do it, and you got a podcast where you
can talk about it exactly. And I just thought, you know what,
fuck it. So I just said, yeah, I'll do it, and
then she announced that we're doing it. So then I get an email today.
Now it's not bad, but like I just realized that what I try
to how I try to portray myself is not like what's coming across because I
got this email from the person who's taking over for the president of this like
for the basically she's going to be the head of the PTA if you called
it PTA. Hey, Stephanie blank blank and I were discussing transition of this
parent organization after I used to call her Tammy, the one that I used
to not get along with, but now I love her. I get her
after Tammy leaves, and we were wondering if you had time to quickly jump
on a zoom or have lunch to discuss your role. You've been doing so
much and we want to make sure we get feedback from you and any insight
on improvements for next year. It's like cool, Oh, these people think
I really like I'm trying to front like I don't really do anything, and
now these people are like, let's have lunch so you can get a feedback.
Who am I and what have I done with my old self? No,
it's great. It's great because like you said, there's only you only
have a certain amount of time. And yeah, you got away with it
without having to do you know, with LB anything for LB, right,
nothing, So now you got to pay back. And you know what the
thing is, I love this school. There you go, and my kids
are so happy there, and I love all the extra things they get,
right, and like it's it really feels like they're at a small private like
it's a free school, it's a charter school. It feels like they're at
a very expensive private school, right with the way that with the extra things
they get and the programs and the teachers are so great and engaged and passionate,
and I feel like, Okay, the least I could do if I'm
so happy is right gives? So, I mean, doesn't a lot of
that extra stuff they get rely on fundraising and I rely on Yeah, all
these things that the parents have to you know, are are helping out to
do you know. Yeah, and I do feel like I'm good at asking
people for money. There you go. I mean, or for explaining like
why we you know, you know, I'm not shy, right right?
Oh my god, that's great, Xander. I just want to say that
Xander has been making me laugh so hard recently. Yeah. So we have
this new kind of private joke. We were talking about people that are introverts
and I was and I don't know how it came up, but I was
like, yeah, I'm you know, I don't know if you can tell
this about me, but I'm not really an introvert. And he was like,
no, I think you are. Mom. He's like, you know,
there's this quiz that you can take, and he's like, I developed
it. He was basically doing a bit and he goes and I did.
I took it for you, and you did come up as an introvert.
And I was like, that's very surprise. I was like, because I've
always I've never thought of myself that way, Like what were some of the
questions. He started doing this bit. He did not crack a smile.
He was being dead serious. Okay. Well, one of the questions was,
if you're at like a baseball game, do you just like sit with
your head down, like shoulders shrugged and like don't really talk to anybody around
you ever, and don't like cheer for anything. Or do you rip off
all your clothes and run around and like, you know, drink and have
hot dogs? And I was like, well, I mean I don't really
do either. Those seem really extreme, right, And he's like, Mom,
this this is a professional quiz. This is He's like, I didn't.
I didn't make the quiz, like this is this is what they're asking,
So you just pick pick one. We were doing this for so long,
we were going out to pick up food together, and we just kept
going. I was like, well, I mean, honestly, if those
are my only choices, I definitely don't strip off all my clothes. I
guess I sit quietly. I guess I sit like but I don't hunch over.
And he's like, Mom, stop arguing with it. This is scientific.
He's like, okay, so is your your answer is you sit quietly?
He's like introvert, and I go, is there another question? He
goes, yeah, of course there'd be one. Question. He's like,
no, there's and then he just kept making them up off the top of
the study like it's so ridiculous. I was laughing. I love is the
dry sense and he doesn't laugh, he doesn't break right. I love that.
And he was doing it so seriously and I was cry laughing. My
back of my head was hurting. I was laughing so hard, and he
just kept going, I don't I'm not saying, what's funny to you.
He's like, I guess you just don't want to accept that you're an introvert.
That's okay, but like it's good to know yourself. Oh my god,
he's really funny. Yes, he needs to do more improv. Does
he want to go back hot and or he does? Yes, he loves
it and he wants to You know what he told me the other day,
he'd kill me. Hopefully he doesn't listen to our show. He was having
like this mini like an existential crisis where he told me he doesn't want to
grow up. He's having anxiety about the future because he doesn't know what he
wants to do. Interesting, he doesn't know what job he wants. And
I was like, honey, you're a sophomore in high school. You're you're
sixteen years old. You don't have to know. And he's like, I
just feel like, you know, thinking about college. This school really directs
them to think about college a lot. And he's like, I said,
you can go to school undeclared, you could. I said, He's like,
and I know, I want to do something like in comedy. He
goes, but that doesn't pay. That's not like secure. That's like such
a long shot. And he and I was like, I know, but
there's a lot of things that you could do that you could major in communications,
right, and that could help you do a lot of different things.
And I was like, college is about like the experience. It's about going
away. And he's like, well about that. I don't think I want
to like go away, go away. Yeah anyway, No, it's like
this is not something you have to decide right now. Yeah, it's so
like it is. It's tough on them too, like they because they study
at like a moment like that a couple of years ago, like I don't
know what if what do I I don't know if what do I want to
do or what you know, am I going to be able to like go
off to college or do I stay in work or you know. He was
like, so, as they're getting older, it's it's it's tough on their
little psyche because everybody's like, well, yeah, that's the next step.
Now you're going to fly the coop, and when kids might be like,
well, I don't maybe want to fly the coup so fast or I don't
know, you know. And I think there's so many kids too that are
like I'm a side kid, like I know I want to do something in
and then the other I want to be a blah blah blah biologist. Xander's
like, I don't just don't understand how some of these kids already know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's crazy. And and the fact
that he even has to think of himself as a late bloomer is crazy,
right because I'm like, no, a late bloomer is like me. Where
I was waiting tables, I told him I go I did stand up,
and I thought I wanted to be a stand up comedian until I did stand
up for a few years and then I was like, what don't what's being
a stand up like? Am I just going to tour the country. I
hate doing stand up so that's not going to be a great job for me,
Like I want to do something using the comedian nobility, but like definitely,
and then I had to go. And also like what female stand ups
made it at that time? It was like Ellen, right, yeah,
yeah, I mean Phillis Diller and Phillis Dillar and John Rivers right, Like,
yeah, you know, so I said that it can change. You
could think you want to do something, you could do it for a while,
right, And I'm not even talking about as a job. Obviously,
I didn't make enough money to support myself. I told him. I was
like, I was a stand up. I also wait at tables, yeah,
until I was twenty eight years old, right, And then I told
him, And then I said, and then I got this job. And
I didn't even know I wanted to write on game shows. I just liked
watching game shows. I was like, if you wait to feel inspired,
yeah, you find your way. You start to do things that you enjoy,
and then you can just kind of figure your way through. Yeah,
Kylen, you're you're a late bloomer. Uh yeah, I guess so.
I think I'm still I think I'm still blooming. I don't think that I
ever I ever got there yet. But you're doing good. You got a
bunch of podcasts going. I do have a bunch of podcasts. Yeah,
I'm very busy these days. Good. Yeah. But and you fell into
that you didn't know. You weren't like, I want to work in podcasting.
You just thought you wanted to work for Adam right. Well, yeah,
I mean at the at the beginning, I mean this is back in
like twenty thirteen. I just wanted to do production work. And then my
foot in the door. Yeah, and then you know, my dad did
Adam's show and they were like, oh, we need an intern. So
I was like, oh, this seems like a fun job. And then
I stayed there for a long time and I loved the job. I loved
working there. I loved all the people that I worked with, and I
didn't know that I wanted to get into podcasting. And then I quit and
I was like, you know what, I think I want to do something
else, but I don't know what. I was like, I think I'm
going to do computers, you know, I'm going to get into computer programming
and that sort of thing. And then I was messing around with Patrick and
doing my pond work for a while, and then it kind of hit me
a few months ago. I was going, like, why am I doing
this? Podcasts are just the future, that's where everything is moving. And
I had this great resume and experience. Oh yeah, I need to start
doing that again. So I jump back into you know, producing and developing
new podcasts and and you're really good. You're very good at it, and
we're very proud of you. Thank you, so proud of it. Was
it was the it was the leaving and doing it on my own net was
really important because you know, I didn't know how to work any of these
cameras or you know, edit, you know, do all these different you
know, edit a multi cam sequence. And now you know a lot of
YouTube, a lot of YouTube and a lot of learning, and so yeah,
it's it's I'm having fun. You know, you need a freaking smaller
screen because we can't see we're just looking at the back of the Dell computer.
We can't see take a picture by the giant screen. So we had
a smaller screen in here. I used this to kind of switch between the
different camera angles, and we had a smaller screen. But I got this
new machine here that I used to switch things, and it didn't work with
that monitor. That monitor was too old and so it just wasn't working with
it. So I had to pull this out of This is my computer monitor.
I had to put my computer into storage a little while ago because I
get too addicted to video games, so I had to stop myself from playing.
So I just threw my whole PC into a storage and then I was
like, oh, I need Oh, I have this monitor, I'll get
that. So I grabbed it and it looks great. I love it,
but unfortunately I can't see you too it. You need a taller chair than
or a shorter desk. I pulled this desk and chair out of storage too.
All of the times I've just been dipping into my storage unit for all
of our gear in here. Oh wow, Hey, you know we should
talk about neutrafil. Yes, let's talk about it. Yes, everybody knows
that I've been on neutral for a long time, but neutrafil is the number

That's neutrifold dot com promo code f c OL. Should we talk about
this, uh, Shane gillis yes SNL monologue. Yeah, I this is
gonna sound I don't know. I don't know. I brought this up to
you before before the podcast because I was like, you know, I know,
I think I'm supposed to not like Shane Gillis because and I'm not saying
I do or don't, but he hosted SNL and it's been it's people have
been waiting for it because you know, he said some problematic things the first
I don't know what they were. So he was hired to be a cast
member of SNL. This guy, Shane Gillis comedian. Maybe Caylin knows more
about this situation than I do, because he like, he loves Shane Gillis.
I a I'm a big fan. So did you know the story?
He So he got hired to be on SNL and then he I don't I
forget exactly what he said, but it was a clip of a podcast.
I think his podcast that was way before he got hired at SNL. I
think it went back like a couple of years even before that. It was
problematic, so they fired him. So then Shane Gillis is off SNL and
then so ever since then he's kind of just been I guess making his return.
When I was still with Adam, he came in and you know,
I was in charge of putting you know, we played like a ten to
twenty second clip of you know, he's promoting the special, and I sat
and watched it and I just watched the whole thing, like I was like,
oh, this is so funny. He came in super nice whatever.
And then I saw recently he had another special come on Netflix, so I
watched that and I can't remember the last time I've laughed harder at a stand
up special than his one on Netflix right now. And so I watched that.
I was like, I'm a huge I'm big Shane Gillis fan now,
So I was very excited for his SNL appearance. Oh so here's the thing
that's kind of tricky. Yeah, is you somebody like that who we all
we know like if you're if you're me. I don't know the stuff that
was on the podcast before, but apparently people found it to be homophobic and
Asian, like, uh, you know, discriminatory towards Asian people, Like
I said, I don't, I don't know what it was right in my
mind, you know, I don't. And also I think he see it.
And now I'm making an assumption. But what he's known for, or
what you would think he's known for, as being a bit of the anti
woke right like cancel culture, anti cancel culture kind of thing. But in
actuality he's not because he never said and like again, don't come for me.
This is literally just my this is just my opinion. You know,
you know I'm the biggest libtard that ever lived. You know, you know
I am and for and it's not uh for my reasons, which we all
understand. I was also already left a left wing person before. That doesn't
but cancel culture and anti wokeness and stuff is like such a complicated you know,
we're all trying to cancel each other. So that is not just a
thing that like the left does, it's also the right is a big cancel.
Everybody's trying to cancel everybody, and like enough right right, Like I'm
not, I'm not trying when when I complain about somebody or their actions are
like you know, like people get mad at you for saying, like,
oh, you're trying to cancel Bill Cosby, Well yeah, he raped women.
I think we can all agree that we shouldn't be going to build Cosby
shows. You know, does that mean I'm never going to eat another pudding
pop right now? Okay, they're delicious, is what I'm saying. The
point is I didn't want to have like a thing about Shane Gillis either way,
I don't know enough about it, you know. But so when he
was going to be hosting SNL, a lot of people were in their feelings
about like, oh, I can't Lord Michaels, I can't believe they're bringing
that guy back. And then so then we were all going to watch it
out of curiosity. But then I forgot. But last Saturday night he hosted,
and he did his monologue and John says to me, Hey, you
want to watch Shane Gillis apparently totally bombed on SNL. Do you want to
see it? Because he's looking at the East Coast Review. Well he's yes,
he's seeing what came out. Right, So it was about to air
live for us, so not live, it was about to air the pre
recorded anyway. So I was like, oh, okay, I don't know
anything about the guy really, me either, just that there was controversy about
him and anyway, so we turn it on and we'd start watching it,
and like, I mean, I could see, first of all, he
comes across as like a stand up comedian. He's doing stand up. Yeah,
it's not very offensive, like and I kept waiting for him to be
like, yeah, I'm back on SNL like hate ching Chong chong, like
you know you right? Like no, he was it seemed dare I say
almost liberal? Like I mean, it wasn't either one, And I was
like, and it was getting big laughs, although which is rare for SNL
these days, right, But apparently it was sweetened because I did notice as
a comedian he kept commenting on the fact that he wasn't doing well, so
apparently people were giving him like, we're being kind of cold, but they
sweetened it for the West Coast, so it sounded like he was killing So
I was like, as a comedian, why is he Why does he keep
saying like, Oh, I thought we were here to have fun. But
it was interesting. It's really interesting if you and should we play it by
any chance? You know, I don't have any of it queued up?
Oh okay, okay. Well, basically he was doing a bit about about
young boys. Now I'm going to butcher what it was about, so you
have to watch the thing. But it was basically about how all boys are
gay when they're a little they're gay for their mom, gay for their every
every boy is his mom's gay best friend and like you want to like go
shopping with your mom and you want to like pick out her a comment on
her outfit and like whatever, right, and then he's like and then and
then the joke is like a little bit crass of like when that ends.
But I was like, Okay, So I guess some people were a bit
offended because that's like a gay trope about like but I was like, I'm
kind of true, though, are we gonna dissect every joke for so it's
funny because then he also did a bit about down syndrome and how he has
his niece has Down syndrome and how she's like the happiest person he knows,
and like how down down syndrome people are really happy. And I was like,
okay, I don't know how people are gonna get offended about that,
like yeah, you know what I'm saying. And it was so it was
interesting to go, I'm sorry, I don't want to side with anybody,
but I'm citing with you people that are like, stop looking to get offended,
because like I'm I listen, you know, I'm the first person to
look to get offended, but like I'm waiting to be offended, and I
was like and and I I said to John, I go, well,
he's definitely not eating it. I go, And even if he wasn't getting
laughs, I don't think that's because of the jokes, because like I could
listen to somebody kill Kill and be like, this is just not funny.
And I can also listen to somebody completely eat it and go, I don't
they're being really funny, right, So that's that's from my years of doing
stand up. Sometimes it's called playing to the back of the room, like
you're just gonna make the comics laugh. Hey, if it's funny, I'm
gonna laugh. The point is I was like, if he was eating it,
it's because people are trying to already trying, I think, because I'm
like, this is he's being pretty funny, right, He's being pretty funny.
Funny, it's funny. So then we read John Read Me last Night,
the Vulture review of his set, and I was like, they are
trying so hard to give reasons why he didn't do well, and they're not
coming up with And John goes, I know, I agree. It's like
usually like come down on one side. You could say, oh, he
was killing but but and then he was in sketches that were pretty much making
fun of Trump. I think this guy is like refusing to be on either
side. I gotta respect that. Yeah, I like him. What do
you think, Kaylin, Do you think am I missing something? Is he
playing to the hard right? No? I don't think. I don't think
he does. Ever everything I've seen, I don't think he plays to the
hard right. I think people like make that assumption because oh, he got
canceled, and then therefore he hates the left and he's gonna like make fun
of the left and like, you know, side towards this. But I
don't think he does that. I think he just comes out and he'll make
fun of Biden, he'll make fun of Trump, He'll he spreads it around
equally. And I think people just make that assumption about it because he got
canceled, and oh that that means he must hate the left and he's always
making fun of them. But I don't think that's the case. Yeah,
I mean can't pick up on nuances anymore. Yeah, I mean they just
hear something and they assume it's this way or that way. It's like,
you know, you gotta watch it for yourself. And get the context and
whatever, like you know, yeah, he seemed to be kind of an
equal opportunity offender. Yeah, except for it wasn't that offensive. And I
was like, okay, okay, you go, Shane, I'm gonna watch
it. Yeah, all right, Hey, everybody, we love you guys.
We love you guys so much, and we have but just a couple
of our big shout outs, like our friend Adam Lerner. He's a car
