["The

0:52

No Hodes Barred." Hi

0:56

everybody, Chris Gethard here. I

1:08

know some people really like the intros of the

1:10

show. Other people want to get right to the

1:12

phone call. If you're one of the people wants

1:15

to get to the phone call, just remember my

1:17

tour dates are at punchup.live. I'm Chris Gethard. You

1:19

can find our bonus content at beautifulanonymous.com. And

1:22

if you want to get right to the phone call, skip about

1:24

13, 14 minutes ahead. That'll put

1:26

you right towards the beginning of the call. Thanks.

1:31

Hi everybody, Chris Gethard here. Welcome

1:34

to another episode of

1:36

Beautiful Anonymous. I'm very psyched for you to hear

1:38

this one because I will say this one sort

1:41

of has everything

1:43

we like all in

1:45

one call. This

1:48

is one of those calls that you can... There's

1:50

a lot of people that go, here's the type

1:52

of call I like on Beautiful Anonymous. This

1:55

call is all those, this calls all

1:57

those things. It's all those types. We'll

2:00

get into that in a second. Do

2:02

just want to remind everybody, I've got a

2:04

lot of tour dates out on the

2:07

road. So

2:09

many more and I'm announcing some more last

2:14

minute for you as well. Do want to

2:16

mention, first things first, this is coming out

2:18

on June 25th, 2024. If

2:21

you're in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, I'm there

2:23

Saturday night, June 29th. Sunday,

2:27

June 30th, I am in Woodstock. Those

2:29

shows aren't selling great. They're not pathetic,

2:32

but I'm hoping, week of, we can

2:34

really get some sales. This is a

2:36

very special tour to me. I'm going

2:38

out with Eddie Peppitone, who has long

2:40

been someone I've admired. If you've never

2:43

seen Eddie Peppitone live, one

2:45

of the most brilliant comics out

2:47

there. Also, bringing

2:49

Keegan Tindall, who is absolutely

2:52

crushing it all over the social media. I

2:55

know him, he's a Jersey City based comic.

2:58

Funny, sweet, hardworking kid, easy to root

3:00

for. He's been through a lot in

3:02

life. And you're

3:05

going to want to come see this tour because you get to

3:07

see me, who you like from the podcast. Eddie,

3:09

who's an absolute legend in the

3:11

game, and Keegan, who in three

3:14

years, you're going to go, I saw that guy

3:16

in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on June 29th, 2024. I

3:19

saw him at the Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, New

3:21

York on June 30th. And here's

3:23

the best part is that none

3:26

of these comics are the types of people that are trying to bait you

3:28

into a fight for

3:31

cheap social media content. And I promise you

3:33

that. We also have a

3:36

show in Evansville, Indiana, where I've never been. That's on July 7th.

3:40

And the tickets for that are selling great. And

3:43

I just have to say, thanks to everybody in Evansville,

3:45

Indiana, because I don't even know that I've

3:47

heard of Evansville, Indiana, but

3:50

I'll be there at an arcade called Arcademy. And it's almost

3:52

4:48

wanted to let you know

4:50

that I'm joining a tour

4:52

this good laugh comedy tour

4:55

it's me and a bunch of other comics that

4:57

one's coming up very soon I'll be in Muncie

4:59

5:08

12th so those are coming up

5:10

so soon Muncie Hazard Memphis and Fayetteville

5:14

and that's part of this

5:16

very special tour where they're getting a bunch of

5:18

comedians from different walks of life who

5:20

have different things to say together and they're

5:23

going to areas where maybe

5:25

things are a little divided politically

5:27

and trying to use comedy to get

5:29

people laughing feeling good connecting with each other so

5:32

I'm so psyched about that one so again all

5:35

those are available at

5:37

punchup.live slash Chris Gethard and I really

5:39

really hope you'll come out and

5:41

of course let's not forget that on July 2nd

5:45

Philadelphia Pennsylvania the

5:48

only beautiful anonymous taping scheduled for

5:50

this year everything else is a

5:52

stand-up show July 2nd Philly it's

5:55

free it's part of fringe arts

5:57

punchup.live slash Chris Gethard

6:00

Come on out Philly, let's do

6:02

it! July 2nd. And

6:06

remember, June 29th, Lancaster, PA. June

6:08

30th, Woodstock, New York. I need

6:10

people out there. Gotta kick

6:13

this tour off right. I

6:15

tell you, I think part of the problem is

6:18

that a lot of smart people listen

6:22

to Beautiful Anonymous. And

6:24

smart people don't

6:27

want to go to comedy shows right now.

6:30

Because comedy has

6:33

become this thing where what it is, is

6:36

people on TikTok harassing

6:38

the people who have come to the shows and

6:40

then making fun of them and getting viral fame

6:42

off of it. It's not

6:44

what I do. It's not what I'm

6:46

interested in. It's

6:50

not the domain I wish to dwell in.

6:53

And if you go, I want

6:55

stories, I want jokes, I want

6:57

moments of levity, I want to

7:00

feel good, I want to feel connected to the

7:02

other people in the room, I want to laugh

7:04

amongst other people while having some drinks, having some

7:07

food, enjoying my life,

7:09

letting my guard down for a while,

7:11

getting the dopamine kick that comes with

7:13

laughter, without the anxiety that comes with

7:15

wondering if you're going to be the

7:17

target that night. You come see

7:19

me, you don't have to deal

7:21

with any of that nonsense, everybody. I

7:24

do want to also say, speaking of comedy, you want

7:26

to hear about some comedy that actually made me feel

7:29

inspired by comedy again. There's a comic,

7:32

I don't know him, I don't

7:34

know that we've ever even crossed paths. He's

7:36

Houston based, his name's Alisa Deak. And

7:39

he just put out the last of four

7:41

installments of this, I don't

7:43

even want to say special, this series of

7:45

specials called the Domino Effect. I

7:49

think beautiful anonymous fans, you'll really love it. And I'm late

7:51

to the game on this. I've been hearing about it for

7:53

a while. The part one came out

7:55

a couple years ago, it's got 12 million views. So

7:57

it's not like this, it's not like this is an

7:59

unknown. thing that I'm discovered sometimes I

8:02

I discover the unknown comics and I let you know

8:04

who they are like Keegan Tyndall who's opening for us

8:07

someday he's gonna be world famous and I'll get to say that's

8:09

cool I helped I helped Keegan figure

8:12

out how the road life works in his early time

8:14

as a comic that's awesome Ali does not need my

8:17

help but I can just tell you each

8:20

installment of the domino effects

8:22

about an hour and a

8:24

half long talks about his

8:27

life in Houston specifically how he came to

8:29

be part of the street life and

8:32

how he came to participate in some things

8:34

that landed him in penitentiary

8:38

super detailed about what every step of

8:40

the way was was like in that

8:42

life experience there's certainly

8:45

some things

8:47

in the special that

8:50

are very debatable

8:52

especially in the fourth one about

8:56

modern social standards but

8:59

one thing that I'll

9:01

say without defending any of that is it's

9:04

first of all it's refreshing to see someone

9:06

tell stories and put it really is art

9:08

you watch this domino effect and you

9:11

sit here and you go man this

9:13

is comedy that's actually aspiring to be

9:15

something and it's game-changing it's

9:17

one of the best things I've ever seen

9:20

and then when there are things that feel

9:24

inappropriate at the

9:26

very least there's

9:31

six to seven hours of

9:33

life experience you've heard about where you go well

9:36

at the very least this

9:38

is a person's lived

9:40

life experience in an

9:43

environment that's extreme and

9:45

at the very least there's

9:48

an open debate to be

9:50

had about why

9:52

this is inappropriate and if the context of

9:54

a lived experience and a dangerous life in

9:56

a dangerous world you're living in changes

9:59

the conversation And even just that

10:03

is refreshing to have something that's layered and

10:06

debatable and not clunky and

10:09

clickbaity and stupid. So

10:13

kudos to

10:15

Alisa Deak who will probably never hear this

10:18

and who does not need my kudos and

10:20

does not need my validation. But for the

10:23

beautiful anonymous community, if

10:25

you are interested in hearing

10:27

someone tell an extraordinarily detailed,

10:30

well-crafted, very, very

10:32

funny life

10:35

story about some stuff

10:37

that keeps tumbling downhill in ways that are

10:39

extreme. Which people who like

10:41

this show, like that, you will

10:43

be fascinated by the domino effect. And my guess

10:45

is that you'll get something out of it. And

10:48

as I said, even

10:52

the parts that push buttons... Oh,

10:55

sorry everybody, if you heard that beeping, there's a

10:57

911 call in my town. I'm

11:00

not on duty. I'm not on duty. Don't worry everybody, I don't

11:02

have to run out the door. But

11:05

like I was saying, if

11:08

you get

11:10

to parts where you go, I don't even know how to feel

11:12

about this, in some sense I'm with you

11:14

and in another sense I go, how good

11:17

does it feel to have

11:19

that born out of actual discourse

11:21

and effort and somebody actually

11:25

trying hard to be an artist. Really

11:29

incredible work. Really incredible work.

11:33

It's the type of thing that every... It's

11:36

probably the most I have felt inspired

11:38

by anything artistic and comedy in five

11:40

to ten

11:43

years. And you need that every

11:46

once in a while. Whatever

11:49

you do with your life,

11:52

if you're not finding ways to stay inspired by

11:54

it and stay engaged in it and feel like

11:56

the bar is being raised, well

11:59

then what do you think? doing? Your head's in the

12:01

sand. Especially as an artist, I feel that. So

12:05

happy to always pass along recommendation. Something

12:08

that has inspired me and the

12:10

domino effect by Ali Sadiq. It's

12:13

one of those things. Anyway,

12:16

today's story is one of those things as well. Today's

12:18

story is so inspiring. Like I said in the beginning,

12:20

the thing that you'll hear,

12:22

even right now that I'm kind of giggling with

12:26

the anticipation of you all

12:28

hearing this. And man, I

12:31

am and you're gonna hear the first half

12:33

of the call, you're gonna hear the first

12:35

chunk of it and you know, why was

12:37

he giggling? Because it's about some stuff that's

12:39

very hard. It's about the

12:43

caller diving into a life of

12:45

helping others. But as we all know, helping

12:48

others often means walking

12:51

into situations that

12:54

are difficult

12:57

and uncomfortable and that

12:59

sacrifice is real. But

13:02

then you will start to hear that unravel and

13:04

you'll come to hear how a person becomes someone

13:06

who wants so much to connect

13:08

with others on a day-to-day basis.

13:11

And a lot of that involves lived

13:14

experience, that

13:16

involves moments

13:19

that no one sees coming starting

13:21

with the caller and then me and then

13:23

you. And I'm sure everybody's in this in

13:25

this caller's life many times. There

13:28

are some things in here that are

13:30

grim and worth talking about because society

13:33

owes it to each other to help each other.

13:35

There are other things in here that count among

13:37

the most ridiculous of

13:39

the ridiculous things we often hear on this

13:41

show. I will also say thanks to everybody

13:43

who was signed up at beautifulanonymous.com for our

13:45

bonus content. But as you can imagine, by

13:48

the end, with this

13:51

caller who can go in any

13:53

direction at any given point in

13:55

an unpredictable way, the format of

13:57

our bonus content is aimed to

13:59

send it in unpredictable directions and

14:01

I will just say that I'm

14:03

very proud of this week's bonus

14:07

content. I also want to say thank

14:09

you to the at current count 840 people who

14:13

have signed up for Beautiful Anonymous Plus

14:15

by going to beautiful anonymous.com. That

14:18

being said, I hope everybody's having a

14:20

great day. I hope you find something

14:22

in your life that challenges

14:24

you, that amuses you, that gives you the

14:27

adrenaline rush of feeling connected to a community.

14:30

Might I suggest that if you're in

14:32

a city I'm traveling to I would

14:34

love to be a part of that.

14:36

Punchup.live slash Chris Gethard for those cities

14:38

and dates and maybe

14:40

it's Ali Sadiq, maybe it's this call, maybe

14:42

it's something that you'll let me know about.

14:45

But find ways to hear each other, to

14:47

help each other, to connect with each other's

14:49

stories. Let's find those ways

14:51

and let's start with this brilliant caller.

14:57

Thank you for calling Beautiful Anonymous. A beeping

14:59

noise will indicate when you are on the

15:02

show with the host. Hello.

15:05

Hi. Hi.

15:09

How's it going? Good.

15:13

It's good today. It's very hot. The heat

15:15

wave in New Jersey but I'm hanging in

15:17

okay. Oh, it's not

15:19

a heat wave here. But it's

15:21

warm so I'll take that. I

15:24

listen to you on 1.5 speed on

15:27

my earbuds so it feels really weird

15:29

how slow you're talking. Fascinating.

15:31

So you knew it sounds like

15:34

I'm in slow motion right now.

15:36

It totally does and I feel

15:38

like I'm in fast forward. Oh, see

15:42

that's what you get. That's what you get

15:44

for trying to rush through all this solid

15:46

gold that I send your way. That's what

15:48

you get. I don't listen to

15:50

it on 2%. Then I rush through. I thought 1.5

15:52

is manageable. No,

15:56

I understand a lot of people. Enjoy the 1.5

15:58

experience. power to you

16:00

but I like hearing that now. So to you

16:02

it sounds like I just like drank a bunch

16:04

of cough syrup and I'm trying not to fall

16:06

asleep. Yeah, totally. Like you're gonna

16:08

fall asleep on me and I haven't even

16:11

started talking. Look at that. I'm

16:16

remarkably nervous. I

16:19

know you say don't be and all

16:21

that jazz. Outside of the nerves, how

16:23

are you today? I

16:26

am good. It's Friday. I'm really glad it's

16:28

Friday. Work

16:30

has been really hectic the last little while so I'm

16:33

looking forward to the weekend and I'm gonna go spend

16:35

some time with my folks

16:37

and with some friends from my hometown which is

16:40

about an hour away from here. So I'm excited

16:42

about that. Nice,

16:45

sounds like a solid weekend. And I'm blowing

16:47

off an hour of work. Good. Is

16:50

that gonna add to the stress later though? No, because

16:53

my boss isn't here.

16:55

It's okay. Oh good. It's

16:59

in Canada and it's indigenous

17:01

people's day here today and

17:03

so most of

17:05

our team is at a round-downs right now

17:08

to honor that. So I'm

17:10

helping to hold down the fort at

17:12

the office. Got it.

17:16

Yeah. Okay. Yeah,

17:19

I work for a nonprofit that supports

17:21

women with children who are leaving

17:24

abusive situations and who are in need

17:27

of transitional housing while they

17:30

figure out their next steps and do

17:32

some healing and some growth

17:35

and all of that jazz. I

17:38

can understand why that job gets

17:40

stressful. It can.

17:44

It's really good work. So I feel so fortunate

17:46

that folks allow

17:50

like me the opportunity to step alongside them

17:52

for little bits of their

17:54

lives and that they are

17:57

able to share pieces of their life with me. It just

17:59

feels It feels like such an

18:01

honor and I'm so grateful for that

18:03

and for the opportunity for me to

18:06

learn and to hear stories and to

18:08

step alongside the people and give them

18:10

hugs and all that jazz, you know?

18:14

Yeah, I mean, you are really, it

18:17

sounds like people who have hit a breaking

18:19

point, people who are in dangerous situations, people

18:21

who have decided they need help when it's

18:24

not here to get help. It sounds like

18:26

you're right there in the trenches to be

18:28

one of the first people helping them come out of

18:31

it and

18:33

it sounds

18:36

super intense, but I also feel very lucky that

18:38

there's people like you in the world. You

18:42

know, it can be intense, but I find

18:44

it more often than not, it's just really

18:46

rewarding. And

18:49

those, you know, like you see the little kids

18:52

come downstairs and they're all smiles and happy and

18:55

it doesn't matter how stressful the day is, you know? And like

18:58

they come in my office and push all the buttons

19:00

on my computer or whatever and those

19:02

are the moments, right? Yeah,

19:06

I've had it explained to me by people who work in

19:08

mental health that

19:13

while yes, there are a lot of things that

19:15

can damage kids and both in

19:17

the short term and long term, that

19:19

it's shocking how resilient kids are. Oh

19:22

my God, I know. Kids come out

19:24

of bad situations that it's sort of shocking

19:26

and inspiring to see that

19:29

they can go back to being kids

19:31

relatively quickly. It's

19:33

nothing better than when the courtyard is

19:35

full of kids who are running around

19:37

playing and screaming and they're

19:40

like, hey worker, the one little boy calls me

19:42

that, hey worker, can you fill this up with

19:44

water? I'm like, of course, and then he

19:46

dumps it on his head and I'm like, perfect, you know, like

19:48

those are the moments. Oh.

19:52

That'll get you through a hard day, I bet. Yeah,

19:54

it is. And

19:57

then I'm so fortunate to be able to go home to my

19:59

own home. you know, and with my family

20:01

and all those things and to be safe in those

20:03

moments. So I have the

20:06

Privilege a distinct privilege of being able to Step

20:09

out of it, too. Yeah. Yeah Yeah,

20:14

well, thank you. Thank you for doing vital

20:16

work It's

20:19

good work, yeah Yeah,

20:24

how do you get into that? Um

20:29

Really by chance so I'm the organization I'm at

20:31

I have been at for a year, but I

20:34

worked here For

20:36

almost seven years sort of seven

20:38

years ago As

20:40

well, and I had come back home from traveling.

20:42

I was I did ten of five years

20:44

of Skipping about the world

20:47

in different places going to school and teaching

20:49

English and working in Like

20:51

rural West Africa and stuff like that and I came

20:54

home and I was like Not really

20:56

sure what I wanted to do with myself. I was

20:58

gonna do international development work. Like that was my dream

21:00

I was gonna I was gonna

21:02

I wanted to work for the United Nations but

21:04

I was gonna you know, like fix the world

21:06

and I came home from Sort

21:09

of five years of doing not all of that

21:11

but some of that really feeling Disenchanted

21:14

with it and really feeling like

21:19

Like I Gained

21:22

more from those experiences than I was

21:24

able to give and I wanted to

21:26

focus my efforts here instead and to

21:28

be Like I shifted

21:30

gears and so there was a new program

21:32

opening up here at this in

21:35

this organization and I got

21:37

interviewed as a case manager, so like a real

21:40

front line in the trenches role and They

21:43

took a chance on me. I'm not I'm not a social

21:45

worker But they took a chance on me just based on

21:48

my background and I guess How

21:50

the how the interview went or whatever and

21:52

I just really fell in love with it

21:54

And so I've been in I

21:56

did have done in domestic violence work,

21:58

but for quite a while,

22:01

but also like with the folks who

22:03

are houseless or people who are using

22:05

substances or experiencing like complexities related to

22:07

their mental health and physical health. So

22:09

it's just really, there's just some really

22:12

beautiful people who are like,

22:15

the moment that they are in now is not

22:17

doesn't define who they are. And you can get

22:20

to know folks in a really beautiful way and

22:22

have these really beautiful connections with people that don't

22:25

aren't always offered that opportunity to have those

22:27

connections. And I think my

22:30

time is well spent here. So it's

22:33

really incredible. And I

22:37

have to ask, when you're working

22:39

in a context like this, seeing

22:43

people at their lowest, seeing

22:45

people at their most desperate, seeing people, people

22:48

who thought help was

22:50

not possible, and then

22:52

they throw a complete Hail

22:54

Mary pass and wind up working

22:57

with you. There

22:59

also comes a time where your

23:01

work day wraps up. And

23:04

then you got to go home. And like, you're

23:06

on the way home and you're like, Oh, wait, I'm

23:08

supposed to pick up milk

23:11

and eggs and go

23:13

to the grocery store like, I hope I can

23:15

get to the dry cleaner before it closes, let

23:18

alone until you get back to your life

23:20

where you have to interact with

23:23

all the people in your immediate

23:25

vicinity. How do you drive home

23:27

from that job and have a

23:29

life outside of it? So

23:33

it took me a long time. So when I

23:35

first started in this work, I would cry every

23:37

day in the car on the way home. And

23:39

I was like, What am I doing? Like, this

23:42

is insane. People are evil. People

23:44

are horrible to each other. You know, like

23:46

those things. Like

23:49

the world is a the world is a horrible

23:51

place. And I'm going to get a job at

23:53

Starbucks. But I learned, I learned

23:55

to compartmentalize and I learned to have

23:57

really strong boundaries and I And I

24:00

communicate those boundaries with folks and

24:02

I hold true to those boundaries. And

24:07

so that time in the car

24:09

between work and home is where

24:11

it's a conscious choice to leave

24:13

work here. And

24:16

I always say that if I think about a

24:18

client when

24:21

I'm in the shower, that most personal time,

24:23

and that sounds gross and creepy and I don't mean

24:25

it in that way, but if I'm thinking about work

24:27

while I'm in the shower or a person while I'm

24:29

in the shower, then I need to

24:32

do some work. So I need to talk

24:34

to a counselor or I need to debrief

24:36

with my supervisor or my team

24:38

or something like that. I

24:41

don't, I try

24:44

really hard. That's such

24:47

a good simple marker. You gave yourself

24:49

a simple marker of like, if

24:52

it's laundry or dishes or while I'm watching

24:54

TV maybe, but the shower is my personal

24:56

signal that it's stuck in my head and

24:58

I need to go help. I need help

25:00

sort of. Yeah, then it's too much. Yeah.

25:02

Wow. I

25:04

also feel like you came up with such a

25:06

good advertising slogan for Starbucks to come get workers.

25:08

Just the world is a horrible place. Come

25:11

work at Starbucks. But

25:13

then you know what I realized? So

25:15

I was like one day fantasizing about

25:18

working at Starbucks. Like when one of the

25:20

day, it wasn't in this job, it was

25:22

another job and things were going horribly sideways.

25:25

Like we worked in a building where

25:27

it was 23 individual

25:30

apartments where folks could use

25:32

substances and there was no

25:34

requirement for, it's

25:37

a housing first program, right? So your housing is first and

25:39

all the other things will come in line if and when

25:41

they come in line. And so it can be a bit

25:43

of a rodeo sometimes in there. And

25:46

I was like, oh man, I'm gonna go work

25:48

at Starbucks. Like some guy just smashed toilet on

25:50

the third floor. Like we've got a three level

25:53

flood. There's just

25:55

chaos is raining, EMS, fire department,

25:58

everyone is here. And

26:00

then I was like, but I would way rather deal

26:02

with this human who's having a really crappy day because

26:05

perhaps they smoked a little Bit too much mess Then

26:07

deal with someone who didn't get their latte made the

26:10

way they want and like yelled at me You know

26:12

like I have way more compassion and like

26:14

empathy and love in that

26:16

situation then if You

26:20

were like I asked for no foam and you put

26:22

foam, you know Right. I

26:24

get that right if if you're

26:27

like working in the world of harm

26:29

reduction and the deep stigma de-stigmatization of

26:31

drugs and trying to

26:33

get people to ease off of

26:35

drugs in a way that feels voluntary and not

26:38

punitive and because of that someone

26:40

who has a drug problem smashes a toilet

26:42

I get how

26:44

that is preferable then like Somebody

26:48

who won't look up from their phone while ordering

26:50

who then is I

26:53

said And

26:57

it's that human connection right like I think and I

26:59

and I my heart Also goes out

27:01

to people who work in retail because I could and

27:03

like food service and you like that's hard work Because

27:07

people aren't at their best in those moments,

27:09

but there's no reason usually for

27:11

them not to be you know, I Mean

27:16

everybody has baggage Nobody

27:19

has what? Everyone

27:21

has baggage everyone has stuff going on but and

27:24

everyone, you know, like there's always something I

27:26

shouldn't say there's no reason but if you're

27:28

if you have the privilege of ordering you

27:32

know a seven dollar coffee from Starbucks and

27:36

We can we can look at each other and in

27:38

the eye and smile I Sometimes

27:42

think that there will be a class war in

27:44

America at least I don't know if you feel

27:46

the same way in Canada and I have a

27:48

feeling it's gonna start with a Starbucks bush worker

27:51

Who gets pushed too far? Just

27:54

some some Starbucks worker who

27:56

just thinks quietly to themselves. I can't hear

27:58

the word venti one more more time. And

28:01

then the entire country,

28:04

that person takes actions that lead the

28:06

entire that's like the Archduke Franz Ferdinand

28:08

or one moment. Facebook

28:12

live or something. Yeah,

28:15

yeah, it'll all be streamed

28:17

on Instagram. There will be

28:19

TikTok videos. Everybody at Walmart

28:21

will just sit here and go like, what the

28:24

they teach us how to get food stamps while

28:26

we're getting our orientation.

28:29

What? And

28:31

then it's on. I think that might be

28:33

how it starts. Just one person who's like, I can't

28:36

put another I can't make one more

28:38

chai tea latte today. And then it's

28:42

everything changes overnight. Yeah,

28:45

that's what I were one of those like

28:47

secret menus that are always around on social

28:49

media where you're like, it doesn't actually exist.

28:52

But people want people to believe that it

28:54

does. Yeah,

28:56

it'll be somebody who pushed me over. Yeah, Jamba juice

28:58

still around. Jamba juice had a good secret menu could

29:01

go in and be like make mine taste like gummy

29:03

bears. I want I want the peanut butter and jelly

29:05

one and they knew how to do it. It's

29:08

just gonna be somebody who's like, fuck

29:11

your gummy bears. And then the next thing you

29:13

know, there's bricks flying on the streets of every

29:15

city. That's how it

29:17

goes. I kind of look

29:19

forward to the day actually. Who

29:23

knows how that's gonna go? Who

29:25

knows? Who knows? Well,

29:31

I'm glad we can chuckle about an impending class

29:33

war. But that's where we're at. If

29:36

we don't laugh about it, then what will we

29:38

do? I've got the sickest sense of humor from

29:40

working in this sector too. So I have to

29:42

imagine and is that true for a lot of

29:44

your co workers? Uh huh.

29:48

Yeah, I it

29:50

strikes me that you probably work in a

29:52

job where

29:56

if people knew stuff that was causing

1:28:00

any near-death experiences? Yeah,

1:28:03

I was whitewater kayaking in a

1:28:05

really big river here. I used

1:28:07

to whitewater kayak. And, oh

1:28:10

sorry, we were rafting, but I used to whitewater

1:28:12

kayak. But we were in a raft and we

1:28:14

weren't with a rafting company, it was just a bunch of us.

1:28:18

And it was a really, really big river and it was

1:28:20

in flood and we flipped the raft in a really big

1:28:23

spot and it's a glacial river so

1:28:25

the water is incredibly cold. And

1:28:30

my friend who was with me went into panic mode and

1:28:32

so she was holding me down in the

1:28:34

water until I made her stop.

1:28:36

And then the water was

1:28:38

so cold that my body, I felt like so heavy

1:28:40

in the water. I was wearing a life jacket and

1:28:42

a helmet and stuff. And someone

1:28:44

threw a throw bag to me and it was

1:28:47

like, it was not 10 feet

1:28:49

from me. And I couldn't

1:28:51

physically get to it. I was like, and

1:28:53

for one second I thought, it's over. And

1:28:55

I closed my eyes and it

1:28:57

was only for a second, maybe not even a

1:28:59

whole second, but I was like, I can't. And

1:29:02

then I opened my eyes and I was like, no,

1:29:04
