Bella's how's it going? Good. Max looks a little different. He came with a hat.
He proudly took the hat off. What do you think? Well, I got haircut. It looks cool.
It's very, you're a trendy guy. You follow the trends. You know, you know, when everybody's sticking to the skinny jeans, I'm going to water. Like that's where the trends are going.
Well, yeah, but this haircut you're doing, like if you did this three years ago, you'd be an insane person. Yeah, that's right. Now it's like country chic type of like a hot hillbilly. Yeah, I like it.
I like it. No, it's good. Yeah, what do you think? Because, you know, sometimes I do look around at my peers, my contemporaries, my friends, and I feel like I'm not going for it too much, but you know, my line of work demands it, right?
It does. Yeah, you can get away with anything. And I always say that this haircut, your hair is always kind of eloquently disheveled. I'll say so you can do anything with that hair of yours because it is so wild in general.
You know what my other goal is? What's that hoop earring? I can never do it. Michael Jordan.
Were you listening to the latest? This is important. Oh, they talk about this 50 year old with a hoop earring. Okay.
No, I love you with a hoop earring. I just got to watch from years ago. I think it's Bruce McCullough actually. He's like, he's 50.
He's hip. And he just walking down the street to some jazz tune, he's got a little earring and he's like, yeah. But I mean like Shawn Mendez has one and like Chris Martin from Cool Play has one. And I feel like other guys have them.
Yeah. That's true. Two references. Shawn Mendez has more than one.
I think Michael Jordan had a very famous hoop earring. Yeah. He's no rock-to-hoo-berry. Yeah, just forgot.
He's been in for a decade. Max looking at a picture of Michael Jordan and being inspired by that. He just shaped it. Who inspired this haircut?
who I guess might technically be Gen Z. And she was like, did you go for this look? And then I brought the look into the barbershop. And the woman was like, oh yeah, I do this all the time.
This is one of the looks right now. That's the vibe. I feel like as far as like fashion goes, you and my brother, I will see you guys on the gram sometimes whether it's like a wide pants or in or baggy clothes. It's kind of going back to the 90s a bit.
Yeah. Although you guys are always keeping up with stuff. We're ever trying. Whereas I atrophy, like I'm always like 15 years behind.
You're a fan of me. You're behind. You just stayed 15 years ago and you haven't moved since. Always.
Yeah. Basically like, basically, you're 10 years behind. And then in 20, 29, when skinny jeans are back, you'll be right in the pocket. I just like, I hope I'm still around.
But I think the thing is, you never know. I hope so. Yeah. The thing, it's almost like T-shirts and jeans never really go to style.
You know what I mean? Like, I will say, like there was a trend in the late aughts, v-neck shirts from American Apparel. And if you were a hip, you wore the black v-neck shirt. And then it slowly makes its way out to the suburbs and then to the country.
And if you go to Peterborough now, like, you can watch ads in v-neck. Yeah. Yeah. There's some ads in v-neck.
I'm like, this is what we were wearing in 2008. Yeah, 100%. 100%. And then my hair's long, obviously.
I don't think I'm gonna cut it until it starts to go. I don't think it's going anywhere. Because there was a phase where you said you're never gonna have long hair. Yeah.
Now, of course, a pandemic happen. But now you're saying you're never gonna have short hair. I don't think I'm gonna go back. Why?
Well, I think the thing is to, as I get older, I realize that it is a very grateful. Oh, would you guys get a hair transplant in Turkey? I have a couple of friends considering it. It takes too long.
It takes a year. Yeah, it's crazy. You're waiting for Turkey? No.
Oh, fuck. That's just too long. Yeah, I read a first and come quite a bit. Yeah, I read a first and essay about a professor from Ontario who went to Turkey and did it.
And then he had to come back and teach classes and everybody was sort of shocked. But he was like, fuck it, I'm owning it. We know some people are considering this? Yeah, I was in the bottom of the pot.
Yeah, you know. We won't say the names. No. But we'll say we're off air.
Turkey, eh? Yeah. Why not just do it here? Well, it must be cheaper.
Is that the idea? Yeah, I think the laws are different. And they probably prefer it. Because is it illegal to run a transplant here?
Yeah, I saw, I don't know, it was a stand up special on, fuck was it, Rami? Or maybe it was some other comedian basically talking about like this is the best like version of tourism that any of these countries like that are not that desirable to go, just start offering. Just like dick enlargements like where the fuck in place? Yeah.
You know, I feel like Turkey started doing it illegally. And it became it became legal. And then by that time they're like, well, we've been doing this illegally so long. We're good.
We're really good at this transplant. Yeah. But I want to give a shout to the other Shane in my life. What?
I remember this guy. Well, it's actually like Greg's best friend. Shane, Greg has a new best friend named Shane. And he's not you.
I hate to blame. Shane, right. Shane Buffalo with us. Long as you're home for was it Pete's birthday?
When they were in our house played, we all went out there. Do you ever met the Shane? He's not the most memorable guy in the world. No, he's quite nice.
And he has his haircut too. So when I saw Shane, I was like, I don't want not you. The other one. I know.
Cool. He's a cool guy. He's a really nice, good voice. Good voice.
Yeah. And so I was like, is it a great voice? He's got a great voice. No, no, just speaking voices really good.
We're gaining speaking voices now. I didn't know. No, no, no, no, no, no. But in this case, it's true.
Who do you think our listeners rank us like on the most soothing question? Who has the nicest voice? I definitely have the worst voice. Really?
The three of us. I think Mike is the best voice. I think we all, hopefully we all have pleasant enough voices where people keep coming back and listening. But maybe a great voice is a good thing.
Like maybe you know how sometimes something so off that it's kind of become a good dude or something? Like if you're a god for you, how do you talk to us? Well, awkward can be funny. So my voice is kind of awkward and it can cut through a pleasant voice.
But you have a lower, rich voice in some cases. Maybe not lower. But if you, I mean, we're all performers. So I think that helps.
When you're used to telling the story, then you probably have an advantage. Do you think you're talking voice sounds like you're singing voice? You know when you're like little like you listen to the Beatles? It's like, it sounds British when they sing.
Do you think that when you talk and when you sing, it sounds like a sign? I think it's similar enough. Both of yours do, I find. Yeah.
Are singing voices and talking voices. I find it's very similar. I just listened to an entire audiobook of Benfolds from Benfolds Five. Did he sing it?
No, but his talking voice is very sort of like Southern. Really? You don't think? No, I don't know.
Listen, talk. Yeah, he's from North Carolina. So he talks like it's something I thought he'd be nasally or something. No, he's singing is kind of whiny.
No, he's voice is talk because I've been a lot of his shows and he talks between songs. So I know what he sounds like. But would you guys ever want to narrate an audiobook? I'd love to.
Like voice acting, basically. You know what I thought. It's got a good voice actor. Like I remember listening to like the girl with the Dragon Tattoo and this like old British actor did it and he was so fucking good.
Was he like a famous actor? He was like, he's clearly had reps. Yeah, I would love to. I would love to.
I'm available if there's any publishers. I've been listening out there that needs, you know. Well, you know, okay, so you know how in school kids we get anxiety. Like if you're in English class, they'd be a book you're all reading some novel.
Go around the class. Everyone takes a term reading a chapter. Like grade 10 or 11. I would I was waiting for the book to get to me.
I wanted to read in front of the class because I was good at reading in real time. I wouldn't stumble. I wanted I was like, give me my paragraph. I want to.
I want to read publicly. But I've only found out sort of later maybe I knew in the moment, but a lot of people despise that like you've read as the book came toward them. So crazy that people would hate that. You would come up with a couple of reading cards.
I was doing announcements. I was hosting a sample. I was doing all this. I'm a terrible reader.
But for some reason when it came to me, I would be like, I can do this. I just wouldn't retain what I was saying. I wouldn't know where the fuck I was in the book. But I said, every word perfectly, I didn't stumble and I was I could cut through and speak so everyone could hear me.
There's something about the thing that pressure does, knowing that you have one moment to kill it that makes your brain lock in. I mean, everybody, but for me, I've been doing more like talking to camera vlogger style TikToks or describing like what songs mean with the lyrics. I've been doing like what I imagine because I'm on an Instagram. It's like what I imagine is the piano series.
I feel like you put the camera on the piano and you just talking. And when TikTok first started, I would have like really labored over like, okay, I need to say just right. And it was the second I thought I fucked up I start again. And now I've sort of committed like the most I'm going to do is to takes and that's it.
It doesn't matter. Once you get comfortable with the awkward silences or like trying to find some word, it actually becomes sort of part of the presentation. And then you can get comfortable in that and you're like, oh, I can do this. But knowing that the camera's rolling and you only give yourself two takes to do it, it's a cool like test for yourself every day.
How are you guys with your portraits? Are you guys like one take wonders? You and your wife Alex with this family tree? I have zero ability to memorize.
So Alex is 30 times better than me. She's also better actress than me. So yeah, I struggle with it. I know the shit out of her.
She gets angry with me. Yeah. I know it was good. I think it was a nice place for her.
I'm just so bad though. And she's so good that it's like, I don't know, Michael Jordan playing with someone who's terrible basketball. But we have a trip to report on. We do have a trip to report on.
We got to talk about it. We have to. We have to. We thought we were going to record one possibly on the street.
That did not happen. But for listeners, you heard us talk about this on the last episode. We are all back from the triple lifetime really an amazing time in the Motor City, Detroit, where we went to see Tim Robinson and the I think you should leave live to her. I guess it was called and they were at the Fox Theater in Detroit.
That was absolutely beautiful. This was the brainchild of the Ash Max. I know this came from Ash. We're doing a road trip, the podcast, getting the car.
We're going to Detroit. And who are we to say no? You guys started out the seats were fucking incredible. And as we always say, if you're in the right car, the drive was by like that.
That's a tedious drive. Otherwise, Toronto to Windsor on the 401 is like four hours straight shot. Pretty boring. But we picked up in Hamilton.
Almost got us in a car crash immediately. And we were talking about my driving. And I was like, no, it's a good drive ride. I don't really think I'm actually driving.
Can't even drive. I was like, I got this. We put a Hamilton. We're cruising on Brantford Way.
Pull off the highway a little snack. I was like, I'm not going to drive out of the parking lot. I got honked at hard. And then it rattled you.
And then you hopped a curb. You were like, smooth, man. And then I was like, this was like 20 minutes into the trip. I was like, I was like, I'm going to fucking die on the way to Detroit.
The guy who claimed he was a great driver. But yeah. I recovered though. You did recover.
You did. Yeah. Did you think, were you, yeah, like, did you actually recover or were you just putting on a brief face? No, I was chill about it afterward.
But I think there's something about this like, um, large box store parking loss that, you know, and I just not used to that speed. I never in them. Yeah. And then you're just going straight.
Breaking. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Also, though, we thought we were even pulled over for speed for a second. You're scared of the law. I am just kidding. Johnny law.
They're coming. Yeah, they're coming. I don't think they are. Trust me.
Just kidding. You take my drugs. Hide the blow. Have you always been scared of the cops?
No, I just hate that you again. Take us every time I get bored of my parents car. We born my parents car because we're all people in our late 30s. The I get to take it every time.
I don't think there's like my ticket. Not for speeding. It's usually just like a parking ticket where I've left a car too long. Right.
Well, they hear it before. Yeah. If they're over 60% hit rate have you ever. Do you pay it or do they pay it?
Yeah. David Buss based on a time. I take a photo. I said it today for a few days.
David listen. David loves his question. We're in Windsor. You got to be confident.
You're like, we're in Canadian soil. They're not giving me a ticket. Yes. It's funny speaking of cops.
We were walking down to Ozzington and then there's a cop in his car. And he haulers out the window. He's like, Hey Max, how's it going? Big fan.
And I kind of walk over and he's listening to laundry pile. Like in the cruiser. Yeah. I know some people hate cops.
photo, you know? Was tough. They didn't ask for it. But you want to put that haircut you have and you say blue lives matter.
You can't do that. That would confuse the people who hate you. Yeah. Yeah, we got to the, we got to the border and I, my performance with the border guy.
Because that's always interesting amongst friends. There's, yeah, there's two types of people, the people who play it straight up and normal, which I like, or the people who are like overly friendly and they're uncomfortable, but they're acting like they're so comfortable. The math is like, hey, buddy, we've got something on your shirt, boy. You know, so like I hate that shit.
So I would say you put me through a lot of anxiety. Yeah. But dude wasn't having any of it. Yeah.
Because you're being so gregarious with them. You know, no, I think you should leave. You don't know Tim Robinson, you know, song April in the D. Well, at first you said, I think you should leave.
And then the guy had never heard of that show. You're like, it's a show on TV on Netflix. Right. And then what did you think of that?
Yeah. No, those American border guards. They're not having it. No, I guess.
Yeah, I was feeling it, but I was like, oh, see how this goes. And then you mess up our names on the passports and stuff. You know, I think you found you Sean. I don't know.
And then we've been conditioned to be like having anxiety and those things, which is weird. Because come on, man, we're all human beings. He has to be his drug smugglers. I terrible.
Yeah. I couldn't do it. I couldn't do that kind of like, I it's very difficult for me to be in any sort of ruse or lie. Like it's I don't want to live that way.
Which of our friends do you think would be the best drug smuggler? I don't know who's the most confident and doesn't feel like it doesn't overthink things. I don't know. Who do you think?
He feels like you thought about this. I don't know. Like no one's that badass. Do you think you'd be a good drug smuggler?
I don't think so. What else is the value? Yeah. They've really developed downtown Detroit in the last 10 years and the goal is to get as many people downtown as possible.
So not only is the Fox Theater there where the show was, which is like a beautiful concert hall 5,000 people, your brother Greg and Jeff's like show Jeff's like saw we's there in like 2008 capacity 5,000 right next door is the film where our cows played, which I think about half of that. There's also Ford Field where the lines are and the night of the show was the home opener for the Detroit Tigers. We get to the hotel. We check our stuff in and then we are heading over to the venue and everyone is wasted in Detroit because basically it was an afternoon game and people were just sort of falling over each other.
I was like, oh, it's one of those kinds of days. April and the D. What's April and the D? I know what they're talking about.
I'm like, that's there is. I knew what it meant. Ash kept saying it. I didn't know what she was talking about.
What is it? April and the D is a song. Tim and Sam have. Detroiters?
Detroiters. And it's basically the first day where there is a Tigers game, a Red Wings game and a Pistons game. I shouldn't know. And we were in April.
So it's April and the D. That makes sense. And then in the lives of the joking because then the guy in the improv guy came on you some of the Lions. Yeah, he's like, it's the one team that's not like this.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
The theater was like truly beautiful. Yeah. And I went on my cousins were involved in the church. They had like a Sunday school and so they got to go to a J's game on a school bus.
My aunt Don was like, oh, do my kid. She asked my mom. Do my kid Greg one come. We'd never been to a J's game.
I think about the first time I'd ever been to Toronto. So I'm like nine or ten or something. I mean Greg, you're on the school bus. Go with the church.
You know, we pretend to be believers. So we get to fucking free J's game. And I remember getting into this guy dome, which is a building. A sense.
You're outside of this building and I go in and I remember the first time walking in the concourse and you see a field indoors in the side of building. It blows your mind. The first time you go in. It's like, where the lobby doors are.
And the merch was all very cramped. And you're kind of like, there's a theater in here. Like, I was just going to open up. Like, low ceilings in the front.
And I guess. And then you go into this other concourse, which again, very low ceilings. I feel like I don't know when it was built. Like 18 hours of guessing.
And then when it opens up into that magical moment where you can see the inner guts of the theatre and what they've really done, it's fucking gold. And like, all of this. Like, architecture and this amazing, like, round sort of design with the balconies and the design. I was like, wow, this is a beautiful theatre.
If you ever had been to a show on Broadway and New York and the same kind of thing. they put a theater, like Manhattan is so cramped and all the buildings are so narrow, but then you get through the main little lobby area and then you're emerging to this big theater. But your point of blue, Jay's is making me think, I, there's something, because the first time I ever went to Jay's, that's probably like five or something like that. And when you're so small, the sky don't, it's so fucking big.
And that feeling, especially being up to 500, so building it's season 500. And going through like the little walkway when you're going up to the seats and then it opens up, the place looks so huge. And it hits you, like on a visceral level. Like you get butterflies and your heart starts to pound and you're just like, you kind of can't believe you're there for your favorite team plays.
And I still, because of that memory, I still get that feeling, to a lesser degree, when I go through the tunnel, that like to your seats. At the sky. I still feel it. Yeah.
And it's all that sort of like memory of being five years old that kind of keeps reminding you. Yeah, so I got a bit of that and the Fox in Detroit because it felt like, I've been in a million theaters. That felt like a very unique theater. What were your thoughts?
It was good. Yeah, I'm not like how you guys are about it. I liked when Joe Carter at that home run. And that was exciting.
I watched that from home, but yeah, the show was awesome. It was exciting about it. I'm more about the event than the venue. We were in architecture 20 minutes on the venue.
Like, I can actually like, I can't even know that. Well, every other channel is fighting for your customer's attention. Podcasts are where they've already given it. No one accidentally listens to a podcast for 45 minutes.

So they do the thing where they showed sketches that got cut from the show. Mm-hmm And all of the sketches with no word of a lie, correct me if I'm wrong, we're fucking hilarious. And maybe it's just because we're watching it live with a bunch of people who already love the show. But I swear, some of them were, I think most of them should have been in the show, like almost all of them, because I laugh at myself with the exception of one, which was just like an extended version.
Yeah, some stuff they said were like, was too similar. Like, oh, we already have this type of sketch. So we had to know this one, but a couple of them were better than a lot of stuff. Like, I'm like, how did this end up on the floor?
You understand most of it, you could tell us from season one. So they didn't know they had to hit on their hands. So they were being a little bit more discerning and they're trying to keep the runtime to under 17 minutes. But the one sketch about the sandwiches, like, yeah, naming, I don't want to ruin it, but they name sandwiches a bunch of ridiculous names to keep in line with like a Jack Aster-style restaurant.
It's like this old Bond public restaurant. And so you have the old couple talking about these new sandwiches. They have come down. They're trying to make it hip like Jack Aster.
So they keep up with the time. What's the name? So name, yeah, what's one of their names? You can give away one.
Oh, the one about your eyes roll back like you've received the best blowjob like to an official. Something like that. Eyes roll back in your head from a blowjob chicken sandwich. Yeah.
That was something you guys would write to. That was the only time I haven't laughed that hard. So I was like a teenager. Like that was where I was trying to breathe in because that sketch also does this great thing, which a lot of them do is it's escalating throughout the time they get to that line.
And it was cut so quick. And the old people were getting really into the sandwiches. And it was just a very, yeah, there was a bunch of really great sketches and the vibes, which is like awesome. Tim Robinson probably talked the least on stage.
Yeah. Well, he's a shy guy and he's not I think he's not made to be a live performer like his forte. I think he is. You think so?
Yeah, I disagree. Oh, because I've seen him. He's really, he came up through that whole improv world. I find he's uncomfortable when he has to be himself in an interview.
I thought that is that caning guy. I'm probably saying that name incorrectly. He's co-creator. He only said like five words.
Yeah. Tim, I thought handled himself really comfortable and everything he said got a laugh. And I don't think it's just because he's Tim. I just think on stage he has a different thing where he can be comfortable.
And he did this, this great bit where they bring out like a fake improv performer. Yeah. And it's under the guys that it's his first time ever doing improv. And it's this guy in his 50s.
And he comes out and he kind of reminded me your dad on it. This guy, my wrong. Yeah. But it was just I'm just so happy to be here.
Oh my goodness. And you guys are legends. And he's pretending he works for NASA, but he also security. Yeah.
That's a joke. But it was so good that I believed it, by the way. I thought I'm a skeptic too. And I'm like, my guess is a bit or not.
And we're like, I don't know. We couldn't figure it out. But then Mike did some sleuthing and saw him. He did this at the other show.
So he tours around with it. I heard of it because I was really sold on the bit. I was really heartbroken and impressed. Yeah.
I was so good though that it's like if this guy's an amateur, that's the craziest thing ever. Like, yeah, he was he was just enough like chaotic, crazy guy energy. Yeah. That you're like, maybe he's just a chaotic, crazy guy.
But turns out he's a professional. And I think that's great about these shows that works really well is like everyone on stage loved him. So the group on stage are on the couch is like the writers and Tim and Sam and all that because they're enjoying it so much. The audience is enjoying it just as much.
Yeah. Yeah, it was just the show was awesome. And it was also amazing. This is the cool thing is that the cult that Tim has developed is so intense and the devotion is so real that so many people are like dressed up as characters from the show.
It was a funny crowd. And usually you think of like comedy nerds as a particular kind. There's a lot of good looking people at the show. That's a while they insulted the comedy fans.
You know what I mean? I just thought there was a lot of Detroit bros that I didn't expect. I don't know if they were just there with their girlfriends, but I was like a girlfriend. I didn't know.
It's a crowd too. It wasn't just like a lot of like bro dudes that felt like they came from the Tigers game. And I would think that I think he should leave as more of like a hipster thing or something or like the Twitter type people that really earned it. But I was impressed with how broad it felt with the crowd.
Yeah. And it got me thinking, OK, so he sold out 5,000 tickets in Detroit. He sold out the Beacon Theater in New York City. He's doing the Greek theater in LA.
And these are like real venues. And it's funny. Like as a household name, like most people don't know who Tim Robinson is. And isn't it cool?
Yeah. But it's like, I was thinking about Sam Richardson. So Sam is his beloved best friend. And Sam, I bet you if you're to say to most Americans, who do you recognize more?
Sam or Tim? Most people know Sam easily because Sam was on Veepe. Sam was on in some Marvel stuff. He's a kids movie.
He's got a little tell-as-not-con commercials. Yeah. You know, like he's all over. But Sam and his own can sell out any of those places.
More people recognize Sam's face. More people know Tim Robinson's name. That's interesting thing. Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, 100%. Because people who like Tim are obsessed with him. They know everything about him. There's a smaller pool.
Yeah. But they all know everything about him. Everyone knows Sam Richardson's face. Yeah.
Yeah. So but it just got to remind me that it's like you can be like really famous in a shallow kind of way. Or you can be not that famous but have like the devotion is deep. Yeah.
And you know, actually I was just so impressed. And also it was just a great like inspiring reminder that like, you know, Tim didn't become Tim Robinson who we know today until he was like 40, right? Like he had some comedy stuff. It was cool.
It was awesome. But yeah, the show was amazing. And then we carried on tonight. We carried on the night.
We did. We went to this incredible Thai place. Yeah. What's it called?
Takoi. Very good. Might be some of the best I've ever had in my life. Yeah.
We're just crushing my other lights eating takoi. Then we went to a piano bar. Like a live karaoke piano bar. Like it was kind of magical.
You just like it, Tim Robinson's. Yeah. It's actually the most. So the place is called Sid Golds.
And it's in downtown Detroit. And it's one of these places that's supposed to look old. Like it's been there for a long time. Sid Golds is actually like a brand.
I've been to one in New York. And I think it's like this new brand of piano bar that's supposed to look like this old school 1940s thing. And the one that I went to was like, you know, it featured like a real piano player. And like the vibe was using Manhattan.
And I was like, I'm just saying some covers. I don't think it was live karaoke. This one was different though. You walk in where you like this architecture shit.
Like right away it wasn't impressing you when you walk. It didn't quite impress me in the same way. This one in New York is beautiful. It's like this narrow Manhattan room with 1920s architecture.
And this one was sort of just like the back of a room with a curtain pulled across the like wall. It's like they just put the addition on five years ago. Yeah, just a little box on the back. Yeah, just a little box.
But anyway, so, but people are saying karaoke. So there's basically a guy's piano. Fishbowl or something. Yeah.
There's a dude who basically has his like iPad out at his computer. And he's like trying to play along to all these covers. I know the baby grand piano. All the and it was like, you know, all the hits.
But how would you describe with the song selection? I was all over the place. Like somebody creep by Radiohead. Yeah.
Somebody did like a jazz song like it. And you had all sort of manner of singers. But the thing is the bar was like, it was a Friday night. It's Friday night.
So people are just there to drink and talk to. So someone's trying to do a ballad and people are kind of talking over. You got a choice to make if you were this karaoke singer while the piano is playing. You either just sing through it and sort of suffer the indicative of nobody listening to you sing or you're such a good singer that you cut through and people actually shut up and people sing along and people or you pick great songs and want to the course of it.
We saw the whole it could be sat there for a while. So we saw sort of every different type of performer get up and either succeed or fail or be ignored until we came to the middle aged woman a little bit older. Yeah. I think she was 55.
If you lived at 110, she's middle aged, but I think she was 55. Kind of like a little bit classier maybe. Like she was kind of my wrong little bit. How long were you?
She lived like an ashtray. She lived like a normal serious ish mom who was out for a friend. Do you know Tan mom from the Howard Stern Show? No.
She reminded me of Tan Mom. Right. Well, she looked like she'd gotten dressed up to go to a Friday night and at this point at midnight she's probably out of few drinks, but she goes up on stage. Her husband starts filming with the camera.
Yes. And she turns the song to her, saying I can't understand. I forget. I don't know what it was.
I feel like karaoke, you're supposed to chat. I'm not going to rule. You do not have to pay attention. It's not a concert.
It's not a concert. It's not a concert. So she starts singing, you know, I so vain, but then no one's paying attention. She's like, hey, you're so vain.
Shut up. We're talking about this woman on stage. Yeah. This is how the woman was.
Yeah. And then she's like, you probably think, hey, shut the fuck up and had everyone scared out of their minds like what's going to happen? And she starts singing again and then kind of drop the mic and walk up page and just left, grabbed her purse and they saw you think the piano guy wouldn't be like in support of the crowd. Like, hey, enjoy yourselves.
Keep talking. But he stands up. He's like, Hey, guys, we got to respect everyone. What are you talking about?
The piano guy clearly wanted to get with her. I just saw that. I did that. I think so.
I think so. Women's episode of held up. He did. He maybe he did.
And then the four of us are sitting at the back and she's doing it. She starts going to shut the fuck up and people are kind of talking to people are very scared. And then when she stormed out, she had to walk right by us out of the door. Oh my God.
But we just kind of watch her storm out. Like, is she doing a bit? Is she serious? She was dead serious in the minute she like got past us.
The four of us just exploded laughing. You know, so good. How bizarre this moment was. And it was like, but it kept going.
It's right, baby. Oh, yeah. Well, basically it kept going. And then another guy was going to come up and do it.
