Oh, no. Oh, no

I had never seen it, and randomly the other night while I was here this week, Bob, Jacob, and I are sitting on the couch and Bob goes, "Let's play a game.
41:18
All of us close our eyes.
41:19
We're gonna hold down the remote, let it just go, hit play, play, play, play, play, play, open our eyes, and see what it is." It happened to be Matlock.

16 MINS LATER

[laughs]
57:19
And so she continued with the class after we'd bantered back and forth, and then class ended and she goes, "Nick, can you stay?" And I said, "Of course." And she knows my family, everyone, and she goes, "Sweetie, I don't think this is for you.
57:32
And I'm not saying don't come back, I'm just saying you don't have to come back." So I-
49:41
And they go into the thing, and the car is now going in the water, and now they're trying to get out of the vehicle altogether.
49:47
So I think Viola's been helping Queen Latifah the whole movie try to find the killer, yada, yada, yada, throw her off the pace, and then all of a sudden the climactic moment, they're all home talking about it or something, and one of the kids says something regarding seeing Viola-
50:46
[laughs] She-
50:46
And then Queen, she takes the, the, the whatever she jammed in her mouth, and she takes it out, and she goes, "We could have just blamed this on anyone else.
50:58
It didn't have to come to this." And Queen goes, "You can kill my husband.
51:02
You've killed our friendship.
51:03
But what you will never kill is my child." And she breaks free and drops kick Viola.

26:06
Right.

And the part about Samantha in this episode that I love is she goes home with this guy who has this, like, BDSM closet where she pretends to be upset about, but, like, obviously she's not upset about kink, her of all people.
26:23
The part that she's most upset about is that he thought she was her actual age of 40.
27:31
[laughs]
27:31
And the way that they were doing faces back then is also different now, 'cause now it's sort of like the era of the Kardashian-ified faces where it was so...
27:45
It's changed in the last couple years, but the last decade has been, like, so filler central.
27:50
So everything is more plump and everything's more full and everything's more sort of like plush and round.
3:50
Number one, try to capsule what that experience was like, and number two, what advice do you give to these young men who are working so hard to get back there?
3:59
It was, uh, it was such a memorable experience, uh, to go to the World Series, just how it happened and, you know, kinda we were the underdog the whole time, which is a little bit different than this USM team.
4:12
You know, they're, been ranked in the top 25 probably for the better part of the year.
4:17
Uh, and man, just enjoy every second of it, 'cause it is gone quickly.
4:22
Heck, it's been 20 years almost since-
4:28
Uh, well, can you put into words what it was like when you first walked on that field and you realize, "I'm standing here in Omaha, Nebraska"?
4:35
I think everybody just kinda got on the field, 'cause I think we went and, you know, did some infield and stuff that day and, uh, just kind of walk out to the foul line and just kinda stare around.
4:46
There wasn't nobody in the stands-
22:58
Yeah
22:58
And I talked about it on our podcast, but I will say, I think I'm a very self-aware person for the most part, and I'm aware I'm a very specific person.
23:09
So I feel like my pool of prospects is very limited.
23:14
So I've come to terms with I might not find anyone, and there's nothing wrong with that.
23:21
But I have-

45 MINS LATER

68:35
Yeah.
68:36
I, my boyfriend at the time, I was here for college, and we got tickets to Anderson Cooper's very short-lived talk show.
68:42
And the opening comic was, like, out in the audience warming people up, and she came to a spot, and she was like, "This is Anderson's favorite spot to stand," and it happened to be right next to my chair.
