00:00:11.359 --> 00:00:15.560
Good afternoon, good after work, good after three am getting

2
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.399
up to go pee, and you just had a nightmare

3
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.640
so egregious that you wouldn't even admit it to yourself.

4
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:25.000
We are anxiety attics bedtime Stories. I'm Joe and I'm Morgan,

5
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:31.359
and after some really obnoxious, frustrating and uncool technical difficulties,

6
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.600
we are here for our weekly BS. And thank you

7
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:35.399
for joining us.

8
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:37.719
Joe. It hasn't been just the two of us in

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:38.320
a long time.

10
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:41.240
I know, which sounds sexual, but it's not.

11
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:48.119
It's not. But I'm kind of happy.

12
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:51.799
This is kind of nice Mark. So we had this idea.

13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.000
So I will tell all of you listeners that I

14
00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.320
did something that sounds so superficial and so self involved

15
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.960
and a slightly narcissistic, and maybe it is all of

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:04.799
those things, and I should just own up to it.

17
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.640
But I have a Google Alert out on myself to

18
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.680
see if I got famous overnight. Why else would you

19
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:14.159
have it? But I joke to Morgan because I get

20
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.159
emails with my Google alert and it tells me what's

21
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.280
going on in the universe of Joe Newman's Now they're

22
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.400
usually like Mary Joe Newman or Betty Joe Newman or whatever.

23
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:28.640
But they're usually obituaries. So I am here to bring

24
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:32.359
you the news and celebrate the lives of all the dead.

25
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:35.200
Somebody Joe Newman's out there in the world, but not today.

26
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:36.680
Today is about a playwright.

27
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.319
What is your Google alert? Is it Joe Newman or

28
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:41.359
is it Joanna Newman?

29
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.319
It's Joe Newman. I don't. I don't think I've ever

30
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.640
gone by Joanna Newman for anything.

31
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:50.719
No, I know, but that's technically your name. And I

32
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.719
just would like to say one thing that you should

33
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.959
also put a Google allout for Google Alert out for

34
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:59.200
Joanna Newman because there's a possibility that a lot of

35
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.920
those went by Joe, and when you start reading the obituaries,

36
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.439
they can say Joanna Newman and then in parentheses Joe Newman.

37
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.719
Right, So I could be doubling my number of obituaries

38
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:09.840
if I change the name.

39
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:14.080
Yeah, or fun exciting things that Joe Slash didn't like

40
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.520
their parents' name that they gave them Joanna or out

41
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:17.319
there doing.

42
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.360
So here's what I've got for a Google alert. Okay,

43
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:22.400
So you know how when you have anxiety you can

44
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:30.039
find anxiety anywhere? Yes, like you can, you can you

45
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.919
can make anything into anxiety. Like somebody could ask you

46
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.319
to choose a paint color and they choose gray, and

47
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.919
you go, oh, they think that that my personality is gray.

48
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.879
Like you know, when you're when you're in that sort

49
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.520
of anxiety spiral, you can you can make mountains out

50
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.759
of molehills, but you can make anything out of nothing. Yes,

51
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.039
all right, So I open this Google alert while I'm

52
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:54.599
having anxiety just about like life in general. I think

53
00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:57.280
it'd probably spent too much time on the news, and

54
00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.439
you know, I have this very like deep fear of

55
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.599
doing nothing with my life. Like I was having this

56
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.280
conversation with my friend Dominique, and she goes, if somebody

57
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.560
who's writing the book of my life, would this chapter

58
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.400
be interesting? And I was like, ooh, yeah, that's a

59
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.080
great way of looking at things. That's so articulate. I

60
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.719
love you, dom And then at night, when I couldn't sleep,

61
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.560
I was like, that's putting a lot of fucking pressure

62
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.879
on the shit. So I'm already in this anxiety spiral

63
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.560
and about the book of my life that no one's writing.

64
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.039
For the fucking record, like, no one's writing that book,

65
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.599
And I get this Google alert for a play that

66
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.080
is going up in Oh my god, where's it going

67
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.759
up at the Perth Theater? So I assume that's in

68
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.599
Australia and it's d. H. Lawrence is the Rainbow, which

69
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.800
has been a staple of English literature for over a century,

70
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.680
dissected in classrooms, praised for its lyrical depth, and at

71
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.520
one point banned for its daring explorations of sexuality and

72
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:56.639
gender identity. For all of its analysis, one theme has

73
00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:00.759
been overlooked. It's migrant narrative. So here where is this

74
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.240
dramaturge in Perth named Joe Newman who is taking on

75
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:08.719
a DH. Lawrence play that encapsulates every single issue that's

76
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.759
being covered in the news that I'm already stressed as

77
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.680
fuck about, and she's turning it into art and putting

78
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:18.000
it on stage. So then I couldn't sleep for the

79
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:19.600
rest of the night because I was so anxious about

80
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.639
all the things that this other Joe Newman was accomplishing,

81
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.680
and how interesting the story this chapter of her life

82
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:25.040
would be.

83
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.000
Joe, do you know what I love about the two

84
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:34.480
of us? Is a I don't. I've never thought about

85
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.639
my life being written as a book, and whether I

86
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.879
give a shit, whether somebody else finds my lazy days

87
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.959
walking through the streets and like, I don't know admiring

88
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.399
the spring buds that are forming on trees, because that

89
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.040
would be boring asked to read. But it's something that

90
00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:56.920
I really really enjoy that you're looking at a playwright

91
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.519
in Perth thinking they're so accomplished. Would you want to

92
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:04.720
be doing that? Yeah, I guess you would.

93
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:12.480
I've just impressed by it and it feels so active

94
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:17.800
and proactive and interesting and it's just impressive. Like it's

95
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:18.839
just impressive.

96
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.079
And I'm like, okay, male or female?

97
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:23.040
Female?

98
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.079
I like that, did you set that up on your

99
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.839
Google alert? Or you're like just Joe Newman? Female?

100
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.639
No, it's just Joe Newman, but it you know, I

101
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:33.800
don't usually.

102
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.920
Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. Although Riverside fun fact, every single

103
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.160
time we do our transcripts, when we do it, it's

104
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.240
always whenever I say your name, it's Joe.

105
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.720
So in my Riverside is sexist.

106
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.839
Exactly, Yeah, exactly. It's deep. The misogyny is deep, even

107
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.399
in technology.

108
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:56.879
I mean even in Perth anyway. But that being said, then,

109
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.079
because my anxiety was already so on high alert, which

110
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:02.800
means that, like my trigger, I don't know if this

111
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.160
happens stupid, Like my triggers so easy. So when I'm

112
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.519
already on high alert, when I'm already feeling super anxious

113
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.639
about one thing, it takes nothing to make me feel

114
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:11.720
anxious about something else.

115
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:13.240
Yeah, no, that's totally fair.

116
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.639
Like if it's like when your skin is already having

117
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.920
an allergic reaction, you touch, it goes nuts. Like so

118
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:21.160
when I'm already I.

119
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.120
Can't believe you just said that, because Alex was just

120
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.199
at and just brought my son to allergy, and they

121
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.480
basically were saying the same thing, like he's not allergic

122
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.240
to mosquitos, it's just that his skin is so reactive anyways,

123
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.759
that anything that touches him they pretend it's a reaction.

124
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.600
That Yeah, that makes you should write that in a

125
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:39.920
chapter in your life.

126
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.600
Or somebody else should write it, because I feel like

127
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.240
it's just asking for more work for me. But so,

128
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.839
so I'm already like in this super anxiety spiral, and

129
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.399
then I'm anxious about this other Joe Newman out there

130
00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:56.560
who is doing much more with her life than I am,

131
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.360
and taking on these huge societal and cultural issues and

132
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.040
funneling them through art onto a stage. And then I

133
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.199
see that she doesn't get very good reviews, and I'm offended.

134
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.160
I've never met this woman. I've only been alerted to

135
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.439
her existence as of like forty five seconds ago. And

136
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.160
now I have this pit in my stomach that this

137
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.600
play isn't good. More goan, I'm losing my fucking faith.

138
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:25.600
We have to mind tickets and go to Perth. My

139
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.319
kids are fighting outside of the door, and I'm going

140
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:31.399
to kill them. I know.

141
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:35.639
Just just guys, I would like to add to my

142
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.680
anxiety about being really bad at geography. This isn't the

143
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:45.480
Birth theater in Scotland, and it's ended. It was only Thursday,

144
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.839
February twenty seven. Is Saturday, March eighth.

145
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.279
I could go on March.

146
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.720
Yeah, so it ended.

147
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.839
Oh ended? This is so funny. You're like Perth, I'm

148
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:56.120
assuming it's an US.

149
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.120
And then and then my additional anxiety and topic is

150
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.519
that I have never read The Rainbow by DH Lawrence,

151
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:09.079
and I'm like, oh, am I uneducated in my British literature,

152
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:09.839
but I am I.

153
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.720
I would like to put a question out for the

154
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:18.199
people who left bad comments. Are we sure it's Joe's fault,

155
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.759
because could it be DH Lawrence's fault for a shitty play?

156
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.959
Good point, good point, thank you.

157
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:26.639
Because that seems unfair.

158
00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:31.079
Well, she also, yeah, I don't know she. I think

159
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.519
she's credited as being the dramati on this, which is

160
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:39.639
like a literary advisor, but in her on her website

161
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.720
she's a director, so maybe she's just wearing too many

162
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.639
hats and it's too much going on. Everyone. She gives

163
00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:45.840
Joe a fucking break.

164
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:52.200
Guys, leave Joe alone, Leave Joe alone, all right. I

165
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.440
hate to bring it to you, Joe, but I think

166
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.320
I know that that really impresses you, and you are

167
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.919
a little bit I don't know, not jealous, but like

168
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.879
in awe of the Joe Newman from Perth, Scotland, because

169
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.360
it's impressive how they feel. Sorry, not how they feel,

170
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:11.440
but what they're doing and the amount of work it

171
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:14.080
must take to put on a what's his name? DH

172
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.919
Lawrence play. But because of this trend that Joe started,

173
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.399
I also started this trend of looking up my name

174
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:28.320
for other Morgan Walshes and wait, did you put on

175
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:31.559
your Google alert? I put them on Google Alert.

176
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:31.840
Yeah.

177
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.840
I haven't gotten anything yet, though, how often do you

178
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:35.399
get stuff?

179
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.279
People die all the fucking time.

180
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:40.320
I haven't gotten anything yet.

181
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.200
But I get it. I get a weekly obituary.

182
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:49.399
We we did find a Morgan Walsh on Instagram and

183
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.600
Joe I don't know who. I do not miss the

184
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.559
life of Joe Newman from Perth, Scotland, but this girl,

185
00:09:56.759 --> 00:09:59.720
I would like you. We need to get this clip

186
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:03.600
off of what we're filming right now because I would

187
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.960
like to send this to her. I'm speaking directly to you,

188
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:12.679
Morgan Walsh. This is her introduction. This is like her bioline.

189
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.440
I roller skate, drive a van and own a hot

190
00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.720
dog stand. And I, honest to God, from the bottom

191
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.080
of my heart, don't know anybody else who's living the

192
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.000
life that I should have been living other than this woman. Now,

193
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:29.320
my life is extremely different. But this sounds like a

194
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:30.759
shitload of fun.

195
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:34.559
And she looks like a shitload of fun.

196
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:38.320
Like more, she looks like so much fun fire. Yeah,

197
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:43.840
like we're obsessed. We started following you. I don't know.

198
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:48.320
I just have this feeling that we're living very different lives.

199
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.759
But I just feel like you are living yours to

200
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.000
the fullest of the full In I think the Valley, right,

201
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:04.600
and so now where is it? I looked it up. Anyways, Joe,

202
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:10.360
how would you pronounce her Instagram name Zenga Zanga? I said, Zinganga.

203
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:15.799
But she doesn't just roller skate. She roller skates like

204
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:19.559
during La Fashion Week in a bathing suit, like she's

205
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.799
beyond rad. I'm very impressed with her. I mean, could

206
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.960
you imagine what she would do on stage in Perth,

207
00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:30.399
Scotland with the dh Laurence play She shit out of

208
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:30.840
the water?

209
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:34.519
Wait? Two things? Number one she also works at she's

210
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:38.159
third generation owner of this hot dog stand.

211
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.159
Wait her tell us about this hot dog stand? Mark,

212
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.240
did you do a deep dive?

213
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.200
I did, because, like, seriously, my life stream would be

214
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:47.080
to open up some sort of like food truck. So

215
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:52.039
I was like, ugh, this sounds amazing. But also she

216
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.000
works with her sister, which basically seems like she's working

217
00:11:55.039 --> 00:12:01.879
with her best friend. And yeah, she's fucking fabulous. I mean,

218
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.240
I don't know what else to say.

219
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.000
Oh my god, I'm looking at her videos and she

220
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:11.039
got married with this like great kind of high sixties

221
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:15.840
ponytail and this short, little, very like twiggy sixties dress,

222
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.840
and I'm just blown away because i don't think I've

223
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:23.360
ever seen a cuter bride. Oh my god, one of

224
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:28.039
her brides bridesmaids is wearing head to toe leopard. Okay,

225
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.279
she's the cutest. She's hands down the cutest.

226
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:32.159
To get her on.

227
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:35.799
She's got a high, high slick ponytail with this long

228
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.559
blonde hair, and she pulled that thing off where you

229
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:40.840
like wrap the hair around the ponytail so you can't

230
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:41.720
see the hairband.

231
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:42.519
Yeah.

232
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:46.600
Yeah, and she's in this little mini dress. She's she's

233
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:49.840
the second cutest Morgan Walsh I've ever met.

234
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.799
That was sweet, Joe. I know you don't mean it,

235
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.279
but that was really sweet. She's way cuter than me.

236
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:58.840
Oh my god, Morgan, you were stunning at your wedding.

237
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.840
I was pretty cute rerunning too.

238
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:09.120
Yeah. Cupids hot Dogs has been around for seventy five years.

239
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:14.919
They've been in the valley since nineteen forty six, and

240
00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.759
it was originally by assuming her grandparents, Richard and Bernice Walsh. Oh.

241
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.320
I love Richard and Bernice. I love those old I

242
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:26.919
love those old names that couldn't exist in any other time.

243
00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:30.200
It's like people now want to name their kids after

244
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.399
their their grandparents, which is what I did. But my

245
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:35.960
grandmother's name was Carol, and I couldn't have.

246
00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:38.080
No, you couldn't be like the name Carol.

247
00:13:38.399 --> 00:13:42.000
Yeah, it's beautiful for a sophisticated older woman who like

248
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.240
puts peanuts out on her coffee table for cocktail hour.

249
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.320
But you can't be like, oh, hear, meet baby Carol,

250
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.080
like you'd expect the baby to be born knowing how

251
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.519
to shake a martini and nit nafghan.

252
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:57.080
Like grandma Carol.

253
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.759
Yeah, but you couldn't be like, oh, meet baby Bernice,

254
00:14:03.159 --> 00:14:06.519
like baby Donna, like they're all I've actually always.

255
00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:09.080
Thought about that with my husband's name. My husband's name's Umberto,

256
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.960
which in Italian it's a very adult name. It's like

257
00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:18.799
it's not like Luca or Leo, Leonardo whatever it's it's

258
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.720
it's a very adult name. And I go, what did

259
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:22.519
people call you when you were like a little bitty

260
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.399
baby where they were like Hi Umberto. By the way,

261
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:27.519
the English translation is Hubert.

262
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:31.360
I would imagine that like baby Hubert.

263
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.480
Oh my god, I find it so funny. I'm gonna

264
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.600

269
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.480

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.519
But like attracted? Is it like twin flame or something? No? No,

274
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.559
not in a sexual way. I mean like in like

275
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:15.679
a oh my god, I can't believe this is another Morgan.

276
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:17.679
I feel I feel like a kindred spirit with her.

277
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:19.960
Oh, a kindred Spirit's a good one, marks because I

278
00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:22.440
feel like if you looked like it would be doppelganger.

279
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:23.960
But I don't know what it means to have the

280
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.360
same name, but they.

281
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:27.679
Had no doppelgangers if we looked alike. No, no, I

282
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.720
just mean same name. And also like I'm very enthralled

283
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:34.799
with her life. I do check out her Instagram, like

284
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:36.840
I don't know, once once.

285
00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.240
A week, and it does. I love it. And it

286
00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:44.519
does look like online that her grandparents who are standing

287
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.799
there and you know, suits or it's a dad and

288
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.159
maybe it's a business partner and like buller hats and

289
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:55.080
clearly like an old La Valley that the Cupid's hot

290
00:15:55.159 --> 00:16:01.919
Dogs was a brick and mortar location totally, and maybe

291
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.240
she turned it into a food truck. We're gonna just

292
00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.159
have to find a way to have her on because now.

293
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.799
No, no, I think it's still I think they have

294
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:12.480
a few locations at a deep time, they have a

295
00:16:12.559 --> 00:16:15.240
few locations, and it's still like an actual it's more

296
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:16.960
of like I don't mean a I didn't mean a

297
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:20.639
food truck. It's more of like a truck stop, like

298
00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:24.639
a Tom's two of Hadley or weatly I should say.

299
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:28.240
But now I'm craving hot dogs and I love a

300
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.759
chili cheese hot dog. I was pregnant on my wedding

301
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.720
and I made my mom stopping at me a Chilichi's

302
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:36.080
hot dog before I got married.

303
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:40.960
That is both impressive and disgusting. Oh my god, I'm

304
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:44.080
so impressed by that. And I'm also you would.

305
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:48.240
Be so disgusting because you see what these look like. Yeah, yeah,

306
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:49.080
but they're guilty.

307
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.600
But but I'm impressed by you. I'm impressed by you.

308
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:52.639
Thank you.

309
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.000
I was also the one that helped you. I know,

310
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:59.919
I'm marking was pregnant, very pregnant, orders this insane wedding dress,

311
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:04.839
and Morgan is very clear on how she wants things

312
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.079
to go, and she's like, just zip it. And I'm

313
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.559
standing behind in this wedding dress is probably this most

314
00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.960
expensive zipper I've ever touched in my life, and I'm like,

315
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.960
I don't know, and she's like, just zip it, and

316
00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:16.599
I'm like, oh my god, this brings me back to

317
00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:20.920
high school with Abercrombie jeans, with this stretch. I hope

318
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:25.119
this dress was stitched with the integrity that the price

319
00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:26.000
tag reflected.

320
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.680
It was. By the way, for our listeners, Joe's not

321
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:31.160
fat shaming me, It's that I purchased the Oh no,

322
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:35.680
I knew. I purchased this dress before I knew I

323
00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.440
was pregnant, and I had already had it altered. And

324
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:40.960
I was like, I have to wear this dress because

325
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.279
I spent a fucking shitload of money on it. And somehow,

326
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:49.279
some way, my kid waited like till the following week

327
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:52.359
after five months, to like for me to blun out,

328
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.559
like up until then, I had a little bit of

329
00:17:54.599 --> 00:17:55.720
a belly, but I wasn't.

330
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.279
It was one of those bellies where in the morning

331
00:17:58.599 --> 00:17:59.920
you can probably get away.

332
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:00.839
I could get the dress.

333
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:05.079
Yeah, like as it went on. This has nothing to

334
00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:06.799
do with anything, and Morgan does have to go. But

335
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.079
I have such a funny story from your wedding, so

336
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:09.599
we are.

337
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:10.880
You have to tell it fast.

338
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.119
We are out in Tuscany and it is probably one

339
00:18:14.160 --> 00:18:17.079
of the most beautiful old churches I've ever stepped foot

340
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:19.119
into my life. Like this was a place that if

341
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:21.759
you'd gone on vacation, you would take two hundred pictures

342
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:24.839
because it was just so beautiful. And this is where

343
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:29.759
Morgan's getting married. It's August. There's no air conditioning, and

344
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.720
I I speak a little bit of French, but that's

345
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:39.279
really the extent of my bilingual capabilities. And this in

346
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:43.880
my memory, this entire service in this church is first

347
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:45.480
of all, it's a full mass, so it's like four

348
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:50.440
and a half hours. And it's not like it was

349
00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:55.000
one hundred bazillion percent not forty guarantee you. I knew

350
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.359
you were going to say you could guarantee it. You

351
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.519
can't guarantee it. There's no way of guaranteeing it. I'm

352
00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:01.200
telling you. It was long. So there's no air conditioning,

353
00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.960
and in my head also, they're not even speaking Italian.

354
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:04.960
It's like in Latin.

355
00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:06.799
It was not in Latin.

356
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.720
This is how I remember it. And I was and

357
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:15.039
our friend Melissa was, for whatever reason, given the camquorder.

358
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:16.839
That's how long ago this was. And she was meant

359
00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.799
to be the videographer. And we're sitting up front because

360
00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.079
we're her testimonies, which means we have to sign and

361
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.559
say that. I don't know why we had any legal

362
00:19:25.640 --> 00:19:28.799
standing there, but apparently we did in the country of Italy.

363
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.720
And Melissa's sitting there and it's hot and it's beautiful,

364
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.720
but we don't understand a word. She's holding this like

365
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.519
crappy camcorder and she looks at me and she goes

366
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:42.960
hold this, and she hands me the camquorder, folds her

367
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:44.920
arms across her chest and falls.

368
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:57.200
I was wondering why no one ever sent me the video.

369
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:00.799
I don't even know where that camquorder went recorded as

370
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:03.000
best I could from there, but I thought there was

371
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.440
a reason that she'd been given it.

372
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.160
I don't know, Oh my god, that's so funny.

373
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:09.759
But she just pat and I don't know if Melissa

374
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:13.400
has always had that talent, but she's just like fell asleep.

375
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.759
That is, so I can't by the way, plane it

376
00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:18.039
was forty five minutes.

377
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:18.279
It was.

378
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:24.240
There's first of all, it was not Nobody stays in

379
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.559
church for longer than an hour in Italy, and forty

380
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:28.960
five minutes is like long like in the US. I

381
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.799
my even my husband hates going to masks. He goes,

382
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:33.960
why don't Americans have to make this thing an hour long?

383
00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:37.680
Like bit of baymit, go in, go out, like make

384
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:39.680
it sweet for the people, like don't try.

385
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.359
You have your memories that I have mine. And there's

386
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.039
a video camera some there recording every minute of it,

387
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:48.640
so somewhere out there we could figure out.

388
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:51.000
How I guarantee it's not my dad my dad. I

389
00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:52.920
guarantee it was my dad's and my dad does it,

390
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.480
and then we don't know where they go. So I'm

391
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:57.599
gonna I'll figure it out when I go home this summer.

392
00:20:57.599 --> 00:20:59.400
We're gonna have to find the Bob Walsh hard drive.

393
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:02.240
So any way, thank you guys so much for listening.

394
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:07.680
Thank you for listening to us explore the other Joe

395
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:10.279
Newman's and Morgan Walsh's of the world. We will be

396
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:13.480
back next week with either more of these or some

397
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:17.079
fabulous guests that will snag in the meantime. That being said,

398
00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:20.039
you guys, this is so stupid. We feel like idiots

399
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:24.319
asking this. This is really stupid. It's so dumb. We

400
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:26.759
need freakin reviews. And if I don't feel.

401
00:21:26.559 --> 00:21:29.240
Dumb, please give us reviews, stars.

402
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:33.640
Anything, anything, give us anything, send us at what if

403
00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:37.079
I said this, I said, Or send me one hundred dollars,

404
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.559
or go write a review?

405
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:39.559
Which one would you pick?

406
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:45.079
And the review can be like super simple and not.

407
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:46.759
It doesn't even have to be over the top. You

408
00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:49.799
can just write this is the greatest thing my ears

409
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.119
have ever been blessed with encountering in the history of

410
00:21:53.160 --> 00:21:55.279
my existence on this planet. Like, it doesn't have to

411
00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:55.960
be a big deal.

412
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:01.000
Good one, Joe, good one, Joe. Seriously, we would super

413
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:06.720
appreciate it. A little star, a little review would mean

414
00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.960
so much. And if we haven't told you today, we

415
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:13.799
love you, guys, We love you. And sweet dreams
