Universal Language

Alright, let's cut to the chase.  I don't think we're going to learn Spanish but I can guarantee we're going to make a mess.  Michael gets into his flow state and that means we're talking tears.  Riding bikes and earning likes, the most uphill battle.  New money, old problems, big bellies.  We're going for money now.  Dirty, hairy, sweaty money.  Let's buy a sports team.  If you're tuning in for discussions on aeronautics, you've come to the right place.  Welcome to the doctor zone, we're smart now and we're explaining air travel on a cellular level.  Malcom in the Middle?  More like Frankie in the driver's seat (he's a racecar driver now).  Art is dead, money is king, deplete the ozone.   See Rock City, waste your day.

Oh Christ, Mr. Sherman.

Hell yeah. Hell, that was it dude. Ola sin yours. Oh fuck what? I thought I knew some Spanish and it's registering now that I retained nothing. Oh my God. Ola sins. Fuck. That's me. Sins the, the most casual thing you can say to somebody. Holy Christ, right off the rip, dude, I might as well have, I should pay for duo lingo.

You know what? I, I, you don't have to. I started doing the version where I don't pay and I'm learning Spanish just fine. Just a little every day, baby. I should pay it at app penance for not remembering how to respond to Hello there. You know, I've come a long way since Joel the bee that I tried to. Oh, right, right, right.

You've been sticking with us. I was trying to learn Spanish by using a memory palace. A system of pneumonic devices in which I am a be named Joel and I'm flying around the world of Yel. And uh, it was helpful, but it's shockingly I got to Columbia and my grasp of Spanish was not dis, it was, you know, I wasn't saying much.

I was doing a lot of smiling. Yeah. Yeah. I was gesturing with my hands. Mm-hmm. Um, I was making universal languages. Universal languages. Yes. I was, I was using, I mean, I realized how, how good I am at smiling with my eyes and conveying, Hey, I'm, I mean, I'm lost. No harm. I mean, I come in peace. I like, I'm lost.

Hey, uh, fucking help me. Welcome to In the Minivan. Welcome in the minivan where we are slowly gaining a. Understanding of Spanish. And you get to, that's right, that's right on for the ride. There are a couple through lines. Uh, this podcast, the first is you learning Spanish. I see, uh, second, what was the second one?

Oh, I don't know. Reading Max, forgetting things. Yep. That's, that's, see, you know what, I'm ready. This is, this is something that, uh, that this podcast has taught me. What if I wear a white t-shirt? I'm gonna spill coffee on it. So now you wear the blacks. Uh, well, I try. I've been, I, I am today because, I tried wearing t-shirts three times this week that we're all white.

I'm trying a new lookout. Mm-hmm. And, uh, the white t-shirt is, is crucial to it. I've ruined every t-shirt I've bought, man. Are you just buying new T-shirts? Yes. What happens? There's gotta be a way to get coffee out of a white tee. Is there Not If we not come far enough. I'm sh Here's the thing my girlfriend says, if you, Laura says if you use tide pens to go tied to go pens, you'll just knock it out every time.

No shit. Yeah. And I know that she's right, but that's not going to. Remember. Okay, well this is something, this, this can continue to, to develop as the, as the pod It continues to Yes. Be released. Uh, we'll get you a tight pen. Okay. And we'll see. That's what, you know, what, you know. Let's see if we can solve this.

I th maybe you don't have to stop spilling. You just gotta, gotta get a better clean's cleaning. She's her, her justification the other day she was like, well, why don't you stop drinking coffee so late in the afternoon. And I was like, touche, touche, touche. But on my shirt. Yeah. Uh, okay. Well you can learn to clean.

You can. Well, and the way that coffee, you can learn to clean. Sorry. Continue. No, you're, you're absolutely right. I should learn to clean. We're on, uh, YouTube. For those that, fuck that was, uh, a lot. You just bang the wall and a picture came down. We caught it. I caught it. Uh, we're on YouTube and this would be a perfect time, uh, because I need a tide to go pen to go to our Patreon.

Yes. Uh, on Patreon, we're doing big things every month for $5. Two episodes a month. We're talking all kinds of weird shit. We're talking, if you saw the clips that went off this week, all kinds of weird shit. Yeah. That all came from our Patreon episode that you can hear $5 a month for $10 a month. Holy moly.

Guacamole. Artichoke shirts. You're getting a goddamn t-shirt for the pool and it's. It's, it's a dark coloring so you can drink coffee and drink over. You can drink coffee, you can stop up blood, baby. Hey. Especially swim in the pool. Special dude. It's pool season. You drink coffee in the pool. You should be drinking coffee in the pool.

Yeah. This is a combo that's often overlooked. Yeah. Pool coffee, pool coffee. You can feel safe doing it. I mean, it's kind of an upper and a downer at the, you know, it, it's got the relaxation of the pool. It's the stimulating relaxation. Yes. This is, this is relaxing for adults. Absolutely. And you can only do that in one of our goddamn in the minivan T-shirts, which you can get by being a $10 patron for two months.

Or they're $30, and that includes shipping. Uh, and if you want to go to patreon.com/in the minivan to do that, or if you just wanna follow us on Instagram, share this shit with a friend, tell the person you're next to, Hey, I'm listening to a podcast, and usually I wouldn't be talking to you, but I think you need to know about this.

If you're on a train and the person next to you has kind eyes, take out the earbuds. Mm-hmm. And turn to 'em and go. Hey, it's a really good podcast. Oh, or keep the earbuds in, turn to 'em and go, I love that. You know, it could be a cool move. This is what I like because everybody's doing wireless headphones now.

Not me. Not you. You're afraid of cancer. I get it. Although I did see a study where they were like, it's, it's, uh, not, it's not a factor. Of course, it's not whatever. Continue, whatever you say. So what you could do if you're a real fucking lunatic, You take your AirPod out, put it in the person next to you's ear.

Wow. And then you guys can kiss. You better help. Your ears are clean. Don't do it if you got dirty ears, don't do it if you got dirty ears, but make sure you do it while Mike's playing this damn jam for you. And while you're sharing this with them, why don't you go on Patreon? Why don't you go on Instagram?

Let's all imagine right now as this jam plays, you're taking out an and you're putting in the stranger's ear. Let's hear it.

Hello? Hello? Hello, hello? Hello to your light this. Hello. Would you like to hear more? Hello? Yeah. Well, here we go.

Who's papa?

Do you like it? Do you like it? Oh, hello? Hello? Do you like it? Oh, no.

Oh, see, we learned to span me. Let it go now. That was great, dude. I loved that. And we can clip it. That was, I was the dude, I didn't want to say it. I didn't wanna ruin the momentum, but in the, in my head, I'm watching this. I'm thinking counts, dude. I'm seeing Anytime I watch, anytime you start to cry while you're doing a while, you're rapping.

I know in my head I just see play count. I see, I see the K coming into view. I started, I was on set with Grace when we were doing animal control. It was towards the end. Yeah. We were all a little bit afraid and I did a bit. Because me and Grace got really close and I would just do such, yeah. I would offload all my weird shit on her.

And I was like doing a bit where I was singing and I started to cry. Yeah. And she looked at me, she was like, what the fuck? Yeah, dude. Because she was just trying to be on her phone and ignore me. And I'm there like an annoying brother, like hi.

And I'm starting to weep and she looks up, she's like, You need help. Yeah, dude. And I was like, hurt. I was hurt. I was so hurt because I thought we were getting weird and I was showing her like the depth of my weirdness. Yeah. And she saw it and she goes, you need a therapist. Terrifying. And I was like, you've betrayed me.

You betray me. And then, uh, it was, it was a big fun. Yeah. Well, if you don't know, it's coming. Grace, I love you. I love you so much. Yeah. You know the real me. I love that dude. If you don't know it's coming. Yeah. If you don't know it's coming, it is daunting to see a man speaking gibberish and cry against you staring, directly, staring,

dude, I don't, he's the closest I can imagine to being a priest, hearing confession. I don't know why I do that. I, I wonder if, We've talked about it. It's flowed, dude, and it's a beautiful thing. That's like what a shaman tries to hit. Yeah. Shaman actor. That's true. To sing gibberish shit. Look somebody in the eye and weep.

Dude. Monks is monks. Moved to Nepal to receive the clarity. You get in, they go deep into a cave and it's just me with a loop machine going. I shut up, up my mouth looking into their eyes, tears flowing, and they. Have to sit there and meditate and this is the fuck I've reached in light. I can't wow. This, this, you know that scene in Ace Ventura when it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what I imagine it is, except it's you and the, the Mango outfit for Chris Cat's mango, and the song is just,

Hello, Lak. How about

your language? I don't know. Mama, take a seat. Get your,

I have to spread this. It's like an episode of Rick and Morning. We're giving too much credence to it. What I think is just a stress response. Just object. No.

No, it's cool, man. Yeah, yeah, you're right. It's cool. Well, yeah, dude, so like I said, I'm seeing K's at the end of numbers, dude. Yeah. That's how, that's how clippy head is. Well, shit, dude. Fuck. It's ex, this is, this is a good time because Oh, it's starting to get nice out, dude. Yeah, it's really good. The sweat's coming.

I biked over here. Yeah. Woo. Yeah. Just to get it my head right. It's lovely. Dude, yo, you got an uphill bike ride to get up here. Yeah. But then once you get used to it, man, it's the best. Dude, I've been so spoiled. I've been taking those city bikes, the electronic ones, Uhhuh, the motorized ones. I've been riding over the bridge every night, dude.

Now that it's nice out. Yeah, man. Riding the bike across like the Manhattan Bridge and just looking out at the moon and being like, wow. It really doesn't mean anything. It is really quite a feeling. It really is quite a feeling and one that I am excited to feel, uh, multiple, multiple times through the course of these warm months.

It is an uphill thing. It is an uphill. I'm hearing this plane and I'm just like trying to look Plane. I feel like I got a bike out of a, cuz if you're coming from Flatbush, you gotta bike out of. Like the slope of Park Slope. Yeah. So you're always, whether you're coming or going, you're hitting a big uphill, but you also get a fun downhill.

I love the downhill dude. Especially on the bridge man and on those E-bikes. Oh yeah. You pedal a little bit. You're racing. I've been riding bikes all around. I'm like on a, on a. Absolute mission when you ride by people on your e-bike. You have an e-bike and you see a guy on a regular bike. Yeah. Can you pass him?

Do you still feel like a superior cyclist? No. No, no, no. I feel embarrassed. Really? I'm so ashamed. Some people ride by me on an electric bike with the gusto. I know of a person that is pedaled every piece of it. I can tell you what it is that you're feeling and if it's any, because like this is something, no, no, no.

I'm very self-conscious about this. It's. It's not that I feel superior, but in my head it is like, Hey, I'm clearly gonna pass you, get the fuck outta my way. You know, it is, it's superiority, but it's not. Athletic superiority. Yes it is. It's merely, it's it's, I have a motor and you need to respect that. And you need to move to the right so I can pass on the left.

I have a motor. And you need to respect that. That's right. And I only ride the bikes late at night. Really? You just see a guy up there just chugging bike all over the place trying to beach and you're like, brother's, not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. Clear to the right. I used to be one of those guys.

I know I was one of those guys. I had my own bike and I said, you know, these electronic boys, they think that they can take over the city, but some of us have to pedal. And you know what? As bikes are by as boys that continue to bike, I got one gear. I mean, we're over. We're talking. That's stupid. The conference is talking.

No, it's not. I love my bike and I never want to, I have had, that was the first thing I bought. I know, but what if you had the exact same frame? Everything's the same. Except if you're going uphill, it could be a little easier. One day. Sorry. One day it will happen. It will, you know, it's New York that my bike, something's gonna happen to it.

Or may god forbid it gets stolen and, and one day I will have to buy a nude bike. And on that day, I will get gears, but you don't even have to buy a new bike. What? You can put gears on your bike. We're not doing that. All right. That just sounds so much more complicated. Oh, okay. Excuse me, dude, I thought, I thought maybe you had a little bit of extra money for the first time in your life and you're like, you know what could be cool?

A $75 keep just eating at restaurants, and I don't think that's good. Oh, dude, you're going out to eat. I like have brunch every day I go to the gym and then I go somewhere in Park Slope and I get like salmon toast and cappuccinos and I Oh my God. Right? And I love it. And I'm like friendly with the people at the restaurant now and they know and I just drop.

Dude, I dropped like $30. Oh, that's not as bad as I thought you were gonna say. It's, it's bad enough where I'm just like, this isn't, I gotta make this a treat or something. Yeah. I mean, you're gonna, you're gonna totally, it's gonna be lost on you in a sec because you know, after a while it stops being brunch and it becomes just breakfast.

Yeah. And then, and that's just where you go for breakfast now. Now I'm at a new standard of breakfast. I don't want to try and maintain. It's too much. That's, that's a lot to ask, dude. Cause God, I love smoked salmon though. Lord in heaven. I love smoked salmon. Are you gonna look a Jewish deli? No, no, I don't wanna blow it up cuz I know we have so many.

For sure. For sure, for sure. And they'll show up. You can bleep it. Um, hang on. Oh, I can bleep it after. Yeah. No it doesn't. I won't say it. No, but you know, cause I go over there. I've been doing, so I've been. Losing my fucking mind, working outta my apartment Uhhuh. So I've been going to different neighborhoods on different days of the week.

Tuesdays and Thursdays are Park Slope days. Oh yeah. And I've got, I've got a coffee shop there that I, oh, there's so many. Dude. There's a secret one. I'll tell you what off. Okay. Yeah. But it's awesome, dude. They've got a backyard, they've got dude, and it's so small. It looks so small. You walk by, you would never think to yourself, I'm gonna go in here.

Yeah. They've got great food. They have. Don't they have Korean fried chicken in this coffee shop? You're gonna tell me afterwards? Yeah. It's awesome, dude. Please just say it out loud and believe it so I don't Yeah, it's cool. It's right. Do you Coffee is no. It's like, okay, don't give it away. All right. I'm gonna find it.

Yeah. Well, and this will just be bleep, bleep, bleep. Um, cause we've got all kinds of goodies around the sea. But that being said, if you want to connect with us, we did get an email for the first time. Oh yeah. And, and we're gonna address it, uh, because it's fucking rad. And if you wanna email us, we would love to hear about it cuz I, I, you know, we can push the discord all we want, but I just don't see it.

Being a thing. It's not popping. I mean, no, dude, it's mostly me asking everybody how their workouts are going and they're not responding. And everybody, no. People respond and they're like, it's cheat day. And it's like, God damn it. Hey, we want, come on guys. I'm in the gym every day now, dude. We're, we're, we're getting it every day.

I hurt my fucking neck, dude. Oh, did you? Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm out here grinding. What happened? What'd you do to your neck? I, I was doing my jiujitsu mix. And, uh, I just got turned over on my head. I got what they call stacked, and I think it was a mix of what the do did, but also I had been training too much and I, my body was tuckered out and primed for injury.

Oh no, you're not doing your stretches. I'm not doing my stretches. And you, you, you can't do that kind of workout seven days a week. It's just too hard on you. Was seven days a week. I did it for one. I did. I got a little addicted to the. You know, the process of doing it and yeah, I did it seven days a week and then the injury came on the tail end of that.

So you gotta give yourself some rest sticks. It's funny you, okay, so real quick in the minivan, pod gmail.com. If you want to email us, do it, but I'm, I'm like really fucking, because I, seven days a week is too much. I'm trying, but I'm trying to do six. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I think six is like hard. Yes. Seven days a week of hard charging type of like, You can say you work out six days a week, but maybe on that seventh day you're going for a long walk.

There's ways to be active. Dude, I've totally just buckled myself down the last week and a half, two weeks. I'm like really trying to fucking, I'm, I'm in on optimization. I'm in on all the bullshit that you've been preaching. I'm like, I took me a long time, but I feel this is the wave. Amazing. This is the wave.

Yeah, it really makes a difference. I feel so much better. Really. I have focus and I have clarity, and I have like, Doc, I wanna own shit. Now I'm get this, I had a good long conversation with our friend Harris yesterday. Yeah. I'm over being a socialist. I'm over being good. I'm all about, I'm all about how can I optimize my life to amass not just wealth, but happiness.

And in finding happiness, how do I get incredibly grossly rich? Yes. Because I want to own a sports team. That's the new goal. What kind of, what sports team do you want to own? You have to have a team in mind. I do have a team in mind, but it's, it's. It's, it's, I don't even wanna put it out there. Why not? You don't wanna speak into reality.

I want to own the Atlanta Hawks, Michael. Of course. Of course I do. Yeah. The Braves seem out of reach because they're a championship team. Legacy team. Hawks. Yeah, Hawks. Nobody really cares about the hawks. It's true. Except for me. I feel like I'm the only guy that cares about the Hawks. They need help. They need help in, they need us.

They need us. Dude, here's what happened. Okay. Welcome to the CU Zones.

I was.

I'm just turn the soundboard off so we don't have another one of them Come. Zone interruptions. My momentum, um, dude, I started watching that fucking, you know who my, this is my, uh, version of a man. Do you know of Matthew McConaughey Uhhuh? I'm all in on the Rob McElheny train. Oh dude, you're a Rob. I'm a Rob McElheny guy.

Is he into optimization? I'm not entirely sure what his routine is, but the way that he has maneuvered and like worked his career. Fascinates me. Yeah. And it's what I want, dude. He seems like a guy because he bought a soccer team. Yeah. And, and it's, so, Wexham United is a documentary about him buying a soccer team, the doc.

So him and Ryan Reynolds, uh, basically they'd never met before, but they were both like, he was like, uh, supposedly like Rob McElheny got really into the idea of like, soccer. And he found this team that needed help and, and he. Kind of got Ryan Reynold. Cause Ryan Reynolds has a bigger following. Yeah. And has more like movie star money and shit.

And they bought this team and the documentary starts as them like buying the team. But it very quickly becomes around like the town itself. Yeah. And it's more about like the people that support the team and the people that go to the games. And it's not a winning team and all of that, but it's like, Fuck, dude.

It seems so exciting to own a sports team and to be able to like revitalize a community around it. Yeah. Yeah, because that's what I love about sports is like that's why I'm a Hawks fan in New York is like there's a small community of us. Yeah. And we go to different bars or whatever to watch games and like sports is one of the few things, whether you really give a shit about.

Basketball base, whatever it is. If you can find a way to like connect with other people around a shared thing, it's really special. Oh yeah. And you know that's, and I won't wanna fucking do that, dude. You want to be the guy that helps facilitate that for everybody. Yeah, man. Cuz that's dude. How would you revitalize the hawks?

Well, there's no way. That's the problem. It's really just about, I want season tickets to the Hawks baby. You know? You gotta have some ideas. You gotta be an idea, man. What are we doing? Well, the money. The money. Are we cutting? Trey? Ooh. That's a good question because it really depends on who's on the market right now.

Yeah, yeah. I think the, I mean, are you a basketball guy? No, but I know enough to say, what are we cutting, Trey? So there's ice there. There's a rumor there. There's the, you know, the season's not over. We're waiting to see what the Celtics do. But Jaylen Brown from the Celtics, who's kind of in their star, you know, one of their star guards, could be a very reasonable switch for Trey Young, uh, especially if the Celtics win the finals this year.

Yeah, I think he'll be done. Dude, Jaylen's from Atlanta. He went to Greater Atlanta Christian. He did a post-game conference after losing to the Hawks, wearing an old school Braves hat. Really? And it's. Lit the internet on fire, not the internet. It lit my Twitter feed on fire. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, and it's just a bunch of dudes like, could it pee?

Could it be, and it would be so cool. That would be the first move. Yeah. Second, I'm thinking big shit, dude. Virtual reality. Everywhere. Everywhere in the stadium, dog. You go in, you can be anywhere else. It doesn't matter. You can pee next to Trey Young. You can pee next, tore young. You can go to a golf game, but you're still at the Hawks game.

Wow. I'm thinking, if you don't wanna be here, go somewhere else, but you're gonna pay me for the pleasure. You know what I mean? Dude, you. Stay here also. Mm-hmm. Okay. All right. I'm picking up, but, but a big part of this, it all starts with getting my body in shape, getting my mind right. I'm waking up early, I'm going to the gym every day.

I'm running, I'm, I might go for a run later tonight. Yeah. I'm keeping my head clear, baby. I need to do the same thing. Um, and then I've been out here having fun and it's swearing me down. Oh, really? I'm hurting myself. Yeah. What are you doing? What damn. Going out, you know, having drinks, doing comedy, and then just staying out too late, not sleeping good.

I need to get back on my, I need some healthy momentum now. There's, there's such a seesaw on this podcast. There is an insane sense and it, I'm embarrassed to say out loud. Because before it was like never. No. And now I'm like, bye. You know, I, no, but this is how it's, we've been doing this for a little over a year now.

Yeah. And it definitely does this. And this is normal because in a month I'm gonna come in, tell you my license shambles. Yeah. And you're gonna be buckled, you're gonna be a black belt and juicy suit. And I'm gonna be over your pitting out, dude. I'm gonna be pitting out, talking about how, as long as we're spiraling upward.

One, as long as one of us is constantly on the upswing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Doesn't matter. Bounce it out. That's right. I think you're right. But what do you, yeah, what are you just partying again? Oh yeah. But but it's fun, isn't it? It is fun and you know, it's oof. It is. It is a good time. I'm having a lot of fun.

You should. I want that. You want to have fun. Not only do I want you to have fun, I'm very aware that eventually I'm gonna crash and I hope to have fun someday too. And if you're having fun now when you're buckled back down, I can go have some fun. Yep. But I, I'm gonna stay home. I'm gonna worry. No, don't worry about me.

None. I'll be fine. Okay. I, I am thinking like, I have teetered a lot because I've been eating mushrooms like a motherfucker. Oh, boy. Really? Which, yeah. Which, but little ones. Oh, little babies. And, and I'm thinking about, you know, Not only do I want to do all this optimization shit, but once I stop eating the mushrooms and the big ideas stop and I have to like actually find internal motivation, who knows what's gonna happen?

Well, I'm scared. I, uh, yeah, I'm just worried about how much we do anything. I mean, cuz I'm, I'm sort of a similar way. It was like, oh, I'm not drinking, but I'm doing mushrooms, or I'm doing this, I'm doing that. And it's like, man, at some point, I have to interface with life just without, yeah. And see what happens.

But then if it's not one thing, it's, it's like me watching tv. I'm like, okay, well I can't focus on things or I can't do this, can't do that. So now I'm watching TV to take up space. I don't know. Now I'm starting to think the secret to everything is just getting out of your house and. Walking around outside.

So before you start brother, you're doing all this extra shit. You're gonna love the max fine way of optimizing your life. I don't know if what I said made sense, but Yeah, I think it does because I'm doing so Part of it is I gotta be in the gym every day for at least an hour. Uhhuh, that's part of it. I gotta drink my greens every morning.

First thing I do, can't do anything before I drink my greens. God, this is an insane role reversal right here. I know, I know. And this is where I think you're gonna really come on board though. 10,000 steps a day. That's for toddlers. I do 15, 15,000 steps, a 15,000 steps a day. The walking constantly is actually very nice, dude.

Whenever I'm cooped up in my house and I'm starting to be like, wait, what am I doing? What is what? I'm just like, let me go for a walk. Hey dude, this is the thing. No phone. No phone, no phone walk, no phone. You know what's been, uh, this is something that I think we constantly forget. I, and you never lived in Bushwick.

I forget that you didn't, you didn't have that part that everybody else kind were, you had to run into everybody all the time were you deal with it. Dude, we live in a beautiful part of Brooklyn where we can go to the park. The park, yeah. And just be, and not run into anybody, dude. Although I've been running into people lately and it has been pleasant.

Sure. I don't mind the run. Um, it's, you know what it is, dude. It's, it's, you hang out with folks that haven't lived here long enough. They don't understand like, Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that we know him and he's on the train. Don't acknowledge him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Until we're getting off and just give him a little, Hey, good to see ya.

Yep. Uh, I was on the train with, hey, we, it was, last night was a little different. I was on the train with Adam Uhhuh, and Ismael was on the train. Right. And Adam was like, oh, Ismael. I was like, dude, we've got five more stops. Yeah. I'll tell you what, because we know him will. Cool. We can go three instead of four before we, but the mental gymnastics, you have to play with yourself to give everybody else their space here.

Right. Incredible. Incredible. Um, fuck these planes. What the fuck? It's, what's going, did I move under an airport? Have the planes not been a thing before? Never. Never. I just, I'm afraid they're gonna ruin the pod. No, I think it's fine. I think people understand it. You know what I found out about planes go by, this is a crazy thing about, uh, the Burbank airport.

Mm-hmm. You know, planes have to turn their engines off when they fly into Burbank and kind of glide in. I didn't know that. So apparently there were so many noise complaints. From the people in the area, from Jet Engines, uhhuh, that when you fly in, they're just kinda like glide in. What ha, what's that Like?

Can you feel it if an engine shuts off when you're on a plane? I would assume so. Right? But I think you just kind of, at that point, your faith is so like, or maybe they try to control the cabin. In such a way that you wouldn't be able to tell it, because you know, when you're in the cabin, it's like there's this constant like, like they're running a loud AC to drown out extra noise or something.

It's, I don't understand how planes work and not just anybody for that matter. Did you know that nobody really knows why planes fly. I'm not kidding what Google this right now. Thank God for smartphones because I know I sound fucking crazy. This can't be, it's not true because people know, they know how to make them fly, but nobody's really positive as to why they stay in the air and, and God damn it, if, if, if I'm wrong, if I, if this is something I know where I heard this, and Laura, if you're listening, I love you, but if you put this in my head and it's fake, I'm gonna be furious.

Okay. On a strictly mathematical level, engineers know how to design planes that will stay aloft, but equations don't explain why aerodynamic lift occurs. There are two competing theories that illuminate the forces and f. Factors of lift. Both are incomplete explanations. Wow. What if they, what else don't we know about?

You know, dude? Yeah. Here I am. The only thing I knew was we don't know how bees fly. They're like, their wings are all crazy. I didn't know that. Yeah. We don't know how bees fly. Jesuses Christ. Where the bees doing, buddy? We don't know. We think we, we wanna know, but we have no idea. Dude, this is the, this is the life of Frankie Munis.

Did you ever watch that show on Malcolm In the middle? No, on MTV was like, you think you know, but you have no idea. This is the, it was called like the live Journal of blank, and then they would just follow a celebrity around and they talk. No, and there's one episode where it's Frankie Munez. And it's like you think you know, but you have no idea.

He's had a rough go. This is the live thing of Frankie Munis, but this is when he was still on top. Oh. And uh, he, in the show, they show him at a NASCAR game and then he watches Dale Earnhardt die. That's the episode. He's at the NASCAR game where Dale Earnhardt wrecks his car and dies. Holy shit, dude. Yeah, that's.

Tough. And then they, frank and then he wound to talk about it. Yeah. But then he wound up being a NASCAR driver. He did. Or like race car driver. Yeah. Is that what Frankie Munis did? Dude, do you not know about This is gonna break your heart. Michael. What happened brother? He got really into race cars and I think he, like, he wound up injuring himself to the point where like his memory is totally shot.

He's kind of like 51st dates. What? Yeah, like he can't remember. Wait, no, I'm, I gotta Google this. Yeah. And, and I just wanna circle back before I forget, you know? Um, I think it's really cute that you have such little respect for NASCAR that you called it a game and not a race. Uh, I thought that was really sweet.

Wait, I called NASCAR a game. He was like, yeah, he was at the game where he died. Malcolm in the middle. Wait, hold on you nothing wrong about this. Is out in front in car racing. Frankie Munez leads in points after his first three races of the new NASCAR season. The 37 year old entered 14 races in 2006 and kept racing until a crash in 2009.

He kept acting drummed in a rock and roll band, but now he's back behind the wheel. Whoa. It's been a long time since Frank Unis with Malcolm in the middle. He's more now. These days he's more like Malcolm in the front. So I guess he's doing good. Good, good. I love to hear that, man. We love a good comeback.

Wow. But yeah, I know that he like crashed and he had some serious memory issues. Um, he also, dude, he was in a Disney Channel movie about racing cars as a, he was his soapbox dude. That soapbox movie. Yeah. Miracle and Lane four. Miracle and Lane Four, then three or something. Yeah. They find the dude who's like, I know how to fix cars.

The Justin didn't break. That's his, we'll call this the Justin, but Justin didn't break. And that's exactly what I was gonna say, man. And it's just a lever. Yeah, it's just a fucking hand break. And that's good. Yay. Yay. Hit it. Hit the button. That's, that might be the first soundboard I've gotten right. Ever on this podcast, dude.

70 episode. 60 episodes in, we got it. Okay, max, we got some tunes here in this week. We do have some tunes. We've, this has been a while. One. I'm sorry, what do you mean? I'm just all over the place, buddy. That's the show. Perfect. A couple of boys. I love it, man. All over the planes. See? Um, I had something else.

Oh yeah, I saw a really fucking bad movie last night. What'd you see? Possession? Is it about a person getting possessed? I don't know, dude. It was from the eighties and I went with, uh, Adam and Frank Duer. Two wonderful boys. Yes, but we, and we went to the Metrograph. Have you been there? It's a metrograph.

Yeah, it's like an art house theater in the Lower East Side. No, I don't think so. Oh, it's cool, man. But they like, I don't know, Adam, I, uh, Adam was so excited that they hit, he was like, they sell popcorn and bags, like it's pre-bagged popcorn Uhhuh. And Adam was so excited. He's like, they ba they pop it fresh Daily.

Cause that's what it says on the bag, Uhhuh. And I had to explain to him, I was like, What do you think is happening at a regular movie dinner? That is one of those things where I would see it and I'd be like, oh, cool. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't think about it at all. You wouldn't think about the fact that you, you're like, oh, wow.

Constantly see fresh popcorn, popcorn, fresh. Wow. But it's not hot and, and meanwhile they're popping it fresh by the minute. Dude at a c Dude, it's so funny. So this place is like, we pop it for, they, they make it in the morning, like all the donuts. Yeah, dude. And they keep it all in the back and just wheel it out.

Someone comes in at 4:00 AM hits, pop on a machine, just fills it up. And you, if you go there after 3:00 PM like we're actually, we're out of. Yeah, but we sold all the popcorn. We pop it fresh everywhere. Everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry you guys couldn't want a hotdog. We make them fresh every hour. It just could.

I couldn't get over it. Uh, and they don't have a fountain there, man. You gotta get everything in a bottle, right? Don't, don't use the wine voice.

But anyways, the movie, we go see the movie and it's the worst movie I've ever seen. So I'm talking like, I saw Bows afraid three times, and I was like, this is dense. Yeah. Yeah. I, I saw this and I've never wanted to leave a theater, so we left homes in Watson together. Yeah, you and I, holy shit. Worst movie experience.

Oh my God. That was the worst. It was just, the jokes were so awful. Awful. I felt bad for, though, I felt bad for Will and I felt bad for John C. Riley. Right. And we left. We left Christmas Day. Yeah, dude. 2018, something like that. Yeah. I wanted to do the same thing last night, but I had a respect for Adam and Frank.

I didn't. Huh. And holy shit, did this movie suck? I'm tired of art house movies. I was thinking about what you were talking about, how you were trying to keep up with Ethan and the Criterion Channel shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm so on your side now, dude. Fuck Art House movies. Fuck art dog. Fuck people with vision.

I have no time for that. Entertain me. Yeah. I'm paying $17 or better be an explosion or tits. Stop. What is this character? I don't know if it's a character anymore. I saw this movie and I was like, I walked out of the theater and I was like, I liked this place walking in. I never want to go back if this is what they show.

That's fair. I was like, if this is what they think is good, they have no taste. I don't know. I've seen some good art house movies, I feel like. Yeah. Well, tell me, tell you, um, I don't know. Back at the Midtown Art Cinema back in Atlanta, I, I liked watching, you know, what we saw at Midtown Art Cinema together, what Star Trek.

Did we? Yes. And it was awesome. It was a great, it was pretty good. Yeah, because it's a Blockbuster movie. Do you know? I mean, I, I used to go there when they did the film festival. I watched like this documentary on this white rapper that was trying to make it, that was fucking hilarious. Uh, this documentary called Do I Sound Gay?

Which was basically about a gay guy being like, why do we all sound like this? Is that the, uh, David Ceras thing? David Ceras is in it because he wrote a book, I think. Called, like, does this sound gay? Maybe, I think. But he, David Sedaris was like the get in that documentary. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that, my man is living in France, dog, and, uh, he was great.

You a dream. Oh, by the way, shout out to Zach Zimmerman who wrote a book. Oh yeah. That is fantastic. I, I wanna read it. It's wonderful. Um, I would, it's like $3 on Kendall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would give you my copy, but I also want to get sales for my boy. I'll give you my copy. No, it's also really dogeared. My copy's kind of, don't worry about it.

So whatever, dude, I, I wanna read it. Regardless of how I come into possession of this book, I wanna read it and everybody that's listening, Zach is the best. He's the best, and he, I only bring it up because it's a series of short stories. From his perspective growing up in Virginia, and they're wonderful and they, David Sadis ask their, you know, humorous short stories, but he's his own writer and he's so fucking good.

Yeah. He's genuinely funny on the page, dude. Which I think is so hard. I've never, I, I've never said this to him, uh, because it's, but he has a series, uh, on like timeout New York or something. Mm-hmm. Or that I, I read and I, I love his writing's. Fantastic. He's so funny. He's really, really funny. I was, I mean, just reading this book, lasting, laughing out loud, and I'm, I might, I might butcher the title, but the title of the, is it Hot Book?

Is, is it Hot in here or am I Suffering Suffering for All Eternity for my Sins on Earth, for the sins I committed on Earth? Something like that. But um, yeah, man, he's great and please buy that. But do, have you read the stuff he does on Time Out New York? Yeah, I read it. We were supposed to do one of those events together.

Oh, really? Yeah. The thing where you go strap yourself to a building and sort of, dude, that's what I was about to talk to. You were gonna do that with him. I was gonna do that with him. And you know why I couldn't, I had to do the second round of auditions for animal control. Oh shit. I was like, Zach, I really want to do this, but I, I gotta do this audition.

And he's like, go for it. Dude, so I, I went to that thing, not, I didn't do the, that part of it. Yeah. But they have a smaller version at the same place called The Edge, where you like walk out onto the observation deck. Right. Or whatever. And I, dude, I almost shit my pants really like, it scared me to death.

Yeah. There's a section where it's like, it's all glass so you can like just stand and look. Like a couple hundred feet down at New York. Mm-hmm. I, I couldn't get myself onto the glass. Like I really had a fucking panic attack. I don't know if I'd be able to, I definitely don't like heights. No. But I don't know if anybody likes heights, but, no, but reading him talk about like being strapped to the guy and shit, like the entire time reading and I was like, oh, this was like skydiving.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I, I really laughed the entire time. He's great. So by the book, he's so good. Yeah, dude. Very, very funny writer. Great comedian too. It's wonderful. I got, uh, he had me on his book release show. Oh, how was it? It was so much fun. What was the Bellhouse? What Great Crowd. Bellhouse sold out the Bellhouse finally.

I feel like his crowd is probably one of the better ones to perform for. Totally. Like they're just people that are, are going to like generally accept whatever you throw at them. They're also intelligent people. Yes. Cause Zach's very intelligent. Yes. Zach's one of those people who I was friends with and then I found out he went to like, I think he went to Princeton.

Yeah. And then I was like, oh fuck. And then I was like extra proud. We were already friends. I was like, I, Mike, that's how I boyfriend. We could point, that's how I felt about, there's another comic who I don't fuck. He talks about, look Zack Brazel. Oh yeah. Yeah. When went to Harvard. Yeah. But I didn't know until, like, I spent a weekend hanging out with him.

Right. And I was like, oh wow. We went to Harvard. How cool. How cool am I for hanging out with the Harvard guy? Yeah. Yeah. I, I can, I forget it was Zack too, just cuz he's so funny at doing that character. Yeah, on stage where he is not a Harvard guy at all. Right, right. Yeah. Yeah. He's so funny, man. But that rules.

Well, shit, we're already talking about other types of art and, and other types of media. So let me talk about, I got you right here. Yeah. Let's jump into the music. I want to play some new Tyler of the Creator from Oh yeah. Call me if you get lost too, which there's a couple. Um, I really like the music video for this song.

It's called What A Day. And, um, Tyler of the creator, creator is just a, he lives up to his name. He's a very creative individual and he continues to create, dude, what a wild, I think about like, The fir Do you remember the first thing you heard from him? Cause I, everybody knows it was the, uh, the him eating the Yonkers.

I'm a fucking walking Paradox dog. Yeah. Threesomes with a fucking triceratops. Reptar. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yonkers and I, I remember Mr. Roach. Yeah, dude, Jaren and I watched this and being like, what the fuck is this? He made a splash too. And, and now it's just like to see the, not just him, but like the whole, you know, odd future thing and like all of those guys.

Yeah. And seeing where they, they've kind of like splintered off into, it's pretty cool. It's so cool. Dude. Taco's killing it as an actor on Dave. Oh yeah, dude. Jasper was in, he's on Jackass. Yep. It rules man. So, yeah, I'm, I haven't heard this yet.

Also his lyricism is incredible top now. I mean, he's really saying real shit. He's very much, I pulled up in that a great lyric letter. Repeat buggy. Had to switch to Hugh cause I'm La boy. Smu, but more likely to get hurt by somebody. Love me, my lady, she don't trust me. I'm a sick puppy. Know that women throw themselves at me and men want me.

Anything can happen. I love this dude. Do you know like one of the reasons I always like him is the production. It's like the music and the beats. It's all fucking, the sampling is just smart and it really fits the vibe he creates on YouTube, like the visuals he uses, because on this one, it's not a cohesive.

Like music, video, plot. And I think he's using chunks of other music videos too. Yeah. But just the aesthetic and the vibe. He's, he's truly a very artistic individual. And I, I appreciate what he said. I love that dude. Yeah. Because I remember dog, I remember, uh, we were in Chattanooga. We were at Rock City.

Mm-hmm. And this was the first time I'd ever heard this. We went to Rock City together. Yes, we did. Dude, what a weird fucking, what a weird place. But you, well, you fucking snuck in. I was a bitch. I paid the fee. Oh yeah. Yeah. I just remember getting in and dude, That's a funny story. We, we get up there, we were killing time in Chattanooga, and we were like, yeah, let's go to Rock City and see what this is about.

And it was like four bucks to get in. Yeah. Yeah. It was really cheap. And you had some fucking like, Moral opposition to paying $4 to vote. And I was just like, well, you're not gonna get in then. I guess you just won't see Rock City. And I went and paid. And then you got in and you snuck in and it really frustrated hell.

Lot of me, I think I just walked over a fence. I know you did. I think I walked over a low fence. Yeah, dude. And I was such a baby about it. Yeah, it's fine. I mean, I'm a baby about certain shit, but I, I do remember that there's Rock City is, it's an abomination. It's just this, it's. You gotta go see it. If you get a chance to see the Rock City, you'll see signs, you'll, you'll see barns, you'll see barns that say, see the Rock City?

And it's sort of Tennessee, Georgia staple. It's like, you gotta see it once it's full of these weird, like, what do you call 'em? Mobiles like, oh, uh, they're like, like, like, uh uh, triptic, uh, like scenes weird. Like they're little, they're weird little like noms noms and scenes in. I can't even think of the words and I'm, I feel like my brain's getting explained.

I'll, let me try. So here's the thing. A lot of people complain. A lot of people have issues with Mount Rushmore Uhhuh and what they did to the Magic Mountain, and I understand that it is, I'm not going to, you know, riff on this too hard, Uhhuh. Cause I do understand there's a whole like, you know, native people that have like, you know, had like spiritual connections to the mountain and then yeah.

And now it's got, but what they did to Rock City makes Mount Rushmore look like a fucking anthill dude. Rock City. They gutted this thing. Rock City is a haunting cavern. It's a, it's, it's a series of caverns filled with haunting scenes. Uh, so what they did, they blew out the fucking core of this mountain, and they put.

Scenes in with trolls that they painted in black light paint. It's also kind of fucking awesome. It's very cool. It's so cool. It's like it's, oh man. Yeah. It's, but it is, it is. Insane that they charge money to make you walk into a place that is just a blown out mountain where they put children's toys and they were like, let's see how creepy we can make this rock.

Yeah. Yeah. And, and, and you see the rock sitting and you're like, fuck, fuck. I just spent two hours in here. And you just think it's gonna be because you see the signs. See the Rock City and you're imagining, you're building something up in your mind like, oh my God, the Rock City. You know what they do? So brilliantly at Rock City is they make you think that the big attraction is just around the corner.

Oh yeah. And it's never there. It's never there. It's like, oh, you're gonna go through, what do they call it, fat Man's Pass, and it's like the little crevice that you have to like squeeze through Don't Fat Man's Pass. Oh, what do you see? Yeah. It's like, oh, more. Fucking gnomes, dude. Now these gnomes are calling their friends and you want me to look at these?

They got noms drinking whiskey, and they're like, isn't this cute? It's like, no, no, no. This is alcoholism and you're making fun of it by putting a troll in the fucking place. This is a, there's a man that needs help. This is a man that needs treatment and a place to stay, and we're gonna just make fun of him.

All right. Alright. Good riff. Thanks. All right. Well, I think this ties into one of your songs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yes. You've described a cave, uh, song. Yeah. So, purple Mountains, dude. Purple Mountains and Darkness and Cold. That's the song. Alright. Right. So, yeah, I've been, dude, this album re uh, it, it, it showed up in the mail the other day.

I ordered it a while ago and forgot about it. Uh, but Purple Mountains is the last album that David Berman made. Did you ever listen to like Silver Jews? No. Um, you showed 'em a couple times. What about like, you know, Steven Malis from like pavement? No. You don't know pavement, eh damn. Maybe a couple songs.

Well, that's all right. So anyways, this is a guy that was around forever. He was, he was, he just made cool music forever and wound up killing himself in 2019. But this is the last album he made. Uhhuh and it's awesome. And Darkness and Cold is uh, one of the songs I put on. You were playing it on the record player.

I was like, I love this crowd.

It is a great song. Hey, this is, yeah.

My life is going now. It's, it's something like I, you know, you, you listen to it. It's a, oh yeah, obviously this guy killed himself. Light of my life is going now tonight with someone she is met. I mean, it's his, uh, oh my Lord. Poor guy. Longer than, but it's, it's great dude. And yeah, I, I really, I mean, you gotta listen to this whole album.

I think you'll really enjoy it. Um, one of the other songs I put on today is from It, but Ben Harmonic is so good. It's so perfect over guitar. Yeah, it's sad dog. Love it. This is the kind of shit I know. I said Fuck art earlier and jest. But the importance of it is stuff like that, like, I, I, with music, with comedy, with movies, with whatever it's like, This is that other language people talk about where they're like, oh, this is stuff that you can't express in words like that.

Harmonica speaks so much more than anything he's gonna say. So really, it's really beautiful. Yeah, man. Now I got something for you. This was, uh, showed to me by Chris Newton, who was a friend of the pod. Hell yeah. Back in Atlanta. Working at all types of music venues, seeing all types of music, keeping us in the loop.

And he showed me, uh, El Michelle Affair, El Michelle's affair with, uh, black Thought. Who's another great lyricist? Oh, I love Black Thought, of course. And they did a whole album together and it's full of great songs. But one song that has been resonating with me is the song That Girl, because the beat's great.

The flow's great, let's get it. It's a hot one.

Who is this? El Michelle's affair and black. I pulled the flower from the garden, pure floor, A bloodline mix. The Philippines made me think. Diane, this is a dude, this, that Tyler, the creator song, this real laid back, he falls into that like, uh, like that blue and exile stuff that I, where it's just like there's nothing aggressive in the beat.

And it, I don't know. This is the kind of shoe where it's like, oh, cool. I can focus on what they're saying. Yeah. And they're saying good shit too. Yeah, man. That's both, both of those songs, the lyrics are top-notch. I think that's what, that's what I've been trying to explain in hip hop. My, my thing with hip hop forever is the beats that sound so, like, not routine, but they, they all sound generic after a certain point where it's like, I don't give a fuck what they're saying.

Yeah. This, it's like, ooh, I can really sit in the pocket and just hear it for sure. And I love it. Um. Let me do one more. Yeah. Because I've been getting into OT Genesis again, um, where I'm not gonna play an OT Genesis song right now. He's just a really interesting dude and I love our geniuses. I might be even saying it wrong, and I'm embarrassed if I am OT GSIs.

Sure. Fuck brother. You can tell me his name is Lester. I'm Unbeliev song. Like I look real good today. Oh yeah. He like, he does fun shit in songs, but I was looking up his influences and one of his guys was cutie Ranks. Of course, you know Shaba ranks. Yeah. I don't know if they were later. They need to do more research if, you know, email us.

Oh, in the minivan Pod of Gmail, Don. That's right. But this is a song limb by limb by cut ranks that I think is just fucking cool.

This is most famous song on Spotify.

I love this. Right? Yeah. And then it gets better. I feel,

you know what this. Dude, I love this. I feel like this is the voice I try to imitate sometimes what I do, I think it, I I know exactly that it is. Uh, and you know where I think you got it from? Where it's modest Yahoo. Oh, dude. Absolutely. I think that modest Yahoo made it okay for white guys to do that. Har tom de Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Before what? Also Sublime. Sublime was in that groove too. Oh, were, I didn't know. They were, they were pulling from stuff. Oh man. Oh man. Have I shown you enough? Sublime on here. Not on the podcast, but in real life. Shave it for another. Yeah, we'll do that. But dude, yeah, but that, that, that's the kind of shit where it's definitely like, that's what you're pulling from when you do the voices.

It's totally cool to do now that Modest did it. Maybe my guy was looking good. He shaved his beard dude. Blonde dude. He looks great. He looks great. I thought he was like on drugs or something. I was like, dude's acidic. Great. Max, what's your, what's your other song? Uh, I think I've got two on there, right?

Yeah. What are you thinking? You want to go to Purple Mountains again? Cause I was loving it. Yeah, let's do purple. What's the other song I put on there? Nights That Won't Happen. Oh, this song's all, is this about the same girl? I don't really, I mean, it's all a about being sad. Yeah. But this song's great.

Dude Knight. That won't happen. Purple Mountains.

This. I mean, this could be a Craig Fin song. I think that's what I like about his music is it's familiar but new in a way. Yeah. Yeah. They dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind when they, I mean, yeah, dude, it's really sad. And I have to like preface this because the last time I said I was listening to Elliot Smith, people worried about me.

I was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I almost wish you hadn't introduced it as, by the way, this guy kills himself. I know it's Well, because it's, that's his whole thing at this point, you know, like That's true. That's what he's known for. So if people know him, they know. Well, this album specifically is the Suicide Note album.

Right. Like, I mean, he used to go by Silver Jews, which was a totally different baby. Oh shit. So, yeah. Okay. Purple Mountains is like, It's his, it's a different thing. Wow. And it's, yeah, it's sad, but it's so fucking good. Yeah. He's got a, this is something that Ghdi listened to throughout the pandemic, like shit nonstop.

There's one song I didn't put on here called Margarita is at the mall. Mm-hmm. That it, fuck yeah. Throw it on, throw off my other song. It's, we're just gonna lean into this. Um, he's funny, like David Berman's funny and it's good cuz it's, It's just, yeah,

I heard this through David Whitey's door nonstop for two years.

This sounds like the intro to, um, everyday. This sounds like the intro to, oh my God, it could be a Leonard Cohen. It sounds like the future to me. No, the intro to. True detective. Oh, that sounds like the intro. To wait till the chorus though. All right. Just keep going cuz he can't sue us. He's dead

alive. Hi, God. I know, I know.

Oh well. It's a, let me see your phone. All right. Kick.

Oh, horns to after all, I love, it's what we love. Yep. I mean, yeah, he's great. Dude. This album's really special. Um, and if you are listening and you don't know about it, uh, I can't recommend it enough. Alright. Well shit, man. And then, um, yeah. Do you have another song? I did, I had a fourth one. Just, it was OT Janis, but we don't have to do that.
