Are Dave and Reese immortal? Probably not. But that doesn't stop these funny hosts from debating what happens if they somehow make it to 110 years old.

They also discuss community theater, creative projects, empty nest life, family traditions, and a Hypertheticals question that sends them down an unexpected rabbit hole about immortality, growing older, and whether living forever would actually be a good thing.

[00:00:00]
Reese: Do you think you're immortal?
I'm immortal. I'm a super mortal.
Dave: Oh, wow. Wow.
Reese: This drink hit real good.
Dave: Real good.
Intro Music: This is Dave. This is Reese, and this is Manic Joy, a podcast about life, love, and, and uncertainty.
Reese: Cheers. Happy Friday.
Dave: Hmm
Reese: Oh, that's refreshing
Dave: That-
Reese: That's fresh ...
Dave: is delish.
Reese: I really love this little scouring pad top
Dave: it's a Scrub Daddy.
Reese: It is.
Dave: You got yourself a Scrub Daddy.
Reese: It's a Scrub Reese-y.
Dave: Aw.
Reese: Aw. Yeah, what are you gonna do? It's, it's that time of the season where I've [00:01:00] lost all control over, my hair.
Dave: Anything else you've lost control over?
Reese: Oh, everything.
Dave: Oh, everything.
Reese: Okay. Just everything at this point. Um, It's just really difficult because once the humidity kicks in, it's-
Dave: Right ...
Reese: we're done here.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: You know what I mean? Like, we are, we're done here. my hair is now way past my shoulders. I... You were commenting that it is...
I should cut it. Mm. It is way too long.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: but having-
Dave: It's not so- it's not so much the length. I feel like it's very thick-
Reese: Yes ...
Dave: right now.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: You know?
Reese: It is thick all the time. you just don't notice it because when the weather is warmer-
Dave: Right ...
Reese: my hair is silky smooth. It is... Uh, not warm or colder.
It's silky.
Dave: There it is. Yeah.
Reese: Right? Like, I could put all the product. I blow-dry it. It, like... It stays. It is normal. The second a little tiny pellet of moisture touches any part of [00:02:00] my hair, it, like-
Dave: It does like a thing,
Reese: yeah ... spreads. It spreads. And it, it like... So the other day, I was like, "You know what? I have to wash my hair."
It was, like, one of those, like, almost 90-degree days. I'm like, "Okay. I'm gonna go wash my hair, and I'm gonna, I'm gonna buy some product and, and try it." I'm hopeful every May into June that I can do this with my hair. My hair is coarse. It is-
Dave: Of course it is.
Reese: Yes. Um, I mean, you've seen my cousins when we go to the reunion.
They have-
Dave: Mm-hmm ...
Reese: curly, curly hair, but they've always maintained it. I've always fought against it. And so the second I wash it, literally 10 minutes later, the whole front part, not the back and underneath, but the whole front part is already dry and expanding. Mm-hmm. So you'll probably never see me with my hair fully down and curly because it just-
Dave: Which is unfortunate
Reese: I look like [00:03:00] Diana Ross.
Dave: Because it's such a, uh, treat for everyone.
Reese: It's a, yeah, it's a real treat.
Dave: It is.
Reese: It's a real showstopper.
Dave: It is.
Reese: I hate it.
Dave: Actually, it really is a showstopper.
Reese: It's, it's-
Dave: Everybody's like, "What is happening?" "
Reese: What is that?" So I get-
Dave: But look it, look, let's... Listen, I'm, I'm okay with it. I like it.
I think you look good.
Reese: You're whacked. Uh-
Dave: That is true.
Reese: Right. I get
Dave: the- No one is denying that, but ...
Reese: it's the s- it's the same thing every time. I get the, "Is that your real hair?" Mm-hmm. "Did you get a perm?" Mm-hmm. "Can I touch it?"
Dave: "Can I touch it?"
Reese: And also, uh-
Dave: I never get that
Reese: one ... I have one friend... No Never. Nor should you.
I have my one friend that God forbid I, I feel, like, a little cute with it and I post a picture, he will immediately post a, a meme or a GIF of El DeBarge. Mm. Calls me El DeBarge. Mm. He's been calling me that for 30-something years. I'm like, "But this is... I, I can't handle it." And it just doesn't, it doesn't look like me Do you know what I mean?
It doesn't-
Dave: I wanna see it.
Reese: It doesn't-
Dave: We have to do... Here's, here's my request. [00:04:00]
Reese: Mm-mm.
Dave: On one of the most humid days of the summer-
Reese: No ...
Dave: I want you to just let it all hang out.
Reese: Absolutely not.
Dave: And we do a podcast with that for-
Reese: Ab- absolutely not ...
Dave: this... Listen, I think this would be the thing that would, if you're just listening on audio, this would be the thing that turned people into video watchers.
Reese: What, what I can do is I could start the podcast with my hair w- like wet- Like normal ... with the product.
Dave: Yeah. And
Reese: then see what happens. And then by the end of the
Dave: podcast, it becomes-
Reese: You don't see me. It's just-
Dave: It's all,
Reese: it's glory ... my hair. It- It's- It actually eats my face ...
Dave: your face. I love it.
Reese: Um, last summer I asked, I was like, "Oh, cut some bangs.
We'll try to do like a cutesy little like curly bang." That was like kinda like the thing.
Dave: Roseanne Roseannadanna?
Reese: No, I look like- ... I am Uniegle Montoya. You killed my father. Oh. Prepare- Oh, wow ... to die. And I did a- Yeah ... TikTok with it. Mm-hmm. I felt brave enough to do it. Oh. Every time, I mean, I try. So [00:05:00] this summer, in, in two weeks, three weeks, I'm going to get the Brazilian blowout for my hair.
Dave: So what is this?
Reese: Okay, so- I
Dave: know of a Brazilian wax.
Reese: Mm-hmm.
Dave: What is a Brazilian blowout?
Reese: I actually had one of those too. Uh, that was a little bit more painful than, um, the Brazilian blowout, which is also- Yeah, so- ... pretty uncomfortable ...
Dave: for those of... playing along, is the Brazilian wax, that is the front and the back?
Reese: All of it.
Dave: All of it. But is it completely clean?
Reese: Yeah, all of it.
Dave: Oh, okay.
Reese: You don't have to do the back, but she had recommended-
Dave: I feel like you wanna do the back ...
Reese: to even it out, and she's like, "It hurts less than the front."
Dave: To even it out.
Reese: And I was like, "You know what? You've seen it all. Do it." Yeah. And she's like, "Okay, bend over doggy style."
Dave: Donkey style.
Reese: Doggy, doggy.
Dave: Doggy style.
Reese: Not donkey.
Dave: Donkey s- well-
Reese: Either way, I was an ass ...
Dave: jackass. Speaking of-
Reese: Jackass ...
Dave: jackass.
Reese: So anyway, we just have to talk about my butt hair. But anyway-
Dave: Oh ...
Reese: so in a couple of weeks-
Dave: Things were just getting good ...
Reese: I'm gonna get my Brazilian blowout. It's a long process. I have a lot of hair.
It's probably gonna cost me a lot of money. Christina, who [00:06:00] does my hair, is probably gonna love me. But I'm not cutting it. It's just not worth it when I could just put it up. I do not want my hair touching my body when it's hot. So to cut it, not gonna happen, so this will be the look that it, you know.
Dave: Good, I like it.
Reese: Okay. Cool.
Dave: I'm cool with it.
Reese: Anyway-
Dave: 'Cause you're gonna be in your pool gear.
Reese: It- exactly.
Dave: And you're gonna have your hair up-
Reese: Exactly ...
Dave: and you're gonna walk around in your little flowy thing.
Reese: In my, the... Yep, I'm gonna be like, "Oh, mm."
Dave: The, over your swimsuit-
Reese: Mm ...
Dave: ready to go.
Reese: Here I go. Yeah. Here I go again.
Dave: So your, your T-shirt is making me hungry
Reese: For pizza?
Dave: For food. Is that a real cafe?
Reese: I don't think so. You know, I went to go look- '
Dave: Cause it gives you the address-
Reese: I know ...
Dave: which is what's throwing me off.
Reese: So when I bought the shirt-
Dave: And I was like, "Where'd you get this?"
Reese: When I... I got it at Old Navy, so when I bought the shirt- Oh
I was like, "I have to look up the address."
Dave: So it's definitely not real, is it? Did you look it up?
Reese: I never looked it up. I, dude- Oh, so you didn't do it ... I'm, I don't remember anything.
Dave: So you didn't do it, yeah.
Reese: The thought went, and then it went away.
Dave: Okay. All right. Well, maybe we'll, we'll definitely forget and not do it after this.
But- Yeah, cool ... if you can, if you're paying attention, uh, uh, and you're not [00:07:00] driving, Brooklyn Cafe 4705... Oh.
Reese: Hey.
Dave: Hey-yo.
Reese: It's not that type of show?
Dave: DeKalb. Is that how you say that?
Reese: DeKalb.
Dave: DeKalb. Yeah. DeKalb Avenue- Yeah ... Brooklyn, New York. Friends, food, and fun. Is Brooklyn Cafe a real thing? I- I know DeKalb Avenue.
Reese: Yeah, DeKalb is, is real.
Dave: Is real. I just don't know if this Brooklyn Cafe is real.
Reese: I don't know Brooklyn Cafe, and why would Old Navy know about it?
Dave: And why would they, why the- And it's kind of- ... why would they license it to-
Reese: Of all the famous places, like Junior's or, like-
Dave: But that's what's throwing me, the address is, like, the real thing.
Reese: It's, like, a real thing.
Dave: And it's not like, uh, it's not like, you know, when the, the phone numbers in the movies- Right ... where it's like 555-
Reese: Right ...
Dave: and you know that's not a real number.
Reese: Right. Yeah, I don't know, dude. And you're like, "
Dave: Fuck you. Can't fool me."
Reese: It's interesting. I was very excited. Um, anytime there's something that says Brooklyn on it-
Dave: Anyway
Reese: I will-
Dave: Now I wanna get some cafe food ...
Reese: purchase it. Well, I brought home some baklava from a cute little cafe today-
Dave: I'm excited about that ...
Reese: that is in Methuen. Oh, I feel terrible that I forgot what the name is, but it's in the little shopping center where the Dollar Store is, and-
Dave: Yeah, so is it... This is a new [00:08:00] place, right?
Reese: Yes. Yeah. I, ooh- It's heading towards, uh- I like that ... Salem, New Hampshire.
Dave: I don't know
Reese: It's next to Texas Roadhouse in there.
Dave: Yeah, yeah. I know what you're talking about. I don't know what the name of that place is.
Reese: I forgot the name. I feel bad.
Dave: That feels like a p- that, that's a plaza I never wanna go to.
Reese: Yeah, when Jo-Ann Fabrics was there, I was there a lot. Um-
Dave: Yeah. I've been there ...
Reese: it's not ideal.
Dave: I don't enjoy going into that area. It's, it's, uh-
Reese: It's not great. It's not great ...
Dave: not so much... And that's where the, the China Buffet is.
Reese: Right.
Dave: Or is that... I don't know if that's what it's called there, but there's a- Right
there's a Chinese food buffet.
Reese: Buffet that we go to every once in a while for no reason.
Dave: Every, every, every... I f- maybe we do that this weekend.
Reese: Oh, that would be wonderful -

Reese: Yep
Dave: spending a little time with us. Yep. So it's very nice and different [00:10:00] and we, we have to remind ourselves that the kids are home.
Reese: I know. Because, because the house was definitely empty for two weeks. So- And so you walk around. You do the no pants dance. Yeah, you do.
Dave: You can do whatever the fuck you wanna do.
Reese: You're walking around farting. Yeah. Well- And it's just like blah, blah ... that's not good either. And then, and you're going to the bathroom with the bathroom door open.
Dave: Well, that's the big one.
Reese: Now I'm like- That- ... close it. Close it ...
Dave: well, that and Peppahhh, 'cause you, you close it. You have to close it all the way- Yeah

Reese: Duty free.
Dave: No. Maybe for you.
Reese: No, that's me.
Dave: Not for me.
So good times.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Good to have everybody here.
Reese: And also- I think we're gonna have a- ... I wanna pat myself on the back.
Dave: Oh, do it ...
Reese: I auditioned for two different plays. I auditioned for Shakespeare, which I, I have never auditioned for a Shakespeare play before. How did- You would think I have, but I have not.
Dave: You, you, you told me about it, but I'm curious. We didn't really get into just language-wise, I don't think I've ever heard you say Shakespearean language
Reese: Every time you've asked [00:11:00] me-
Dave: Why did I say it like that? ...
Reese: to say something on the microphone, I always say, "To be or not to be, that is the question, whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune."
Hamlet.
Dave: You have never-
Reese: I do that every time ...
Dave: once said that.
Reese: I absolutely have. And I absolutely have. And unfortunately- Go, let's go- ... I don't think I've done it- I'm,
Dave: let's go to the videotape
Reese: You can't. You can't- No ... because it was before we would do the videotape,
Dave: but- As of before ...
Reese: um, it is my dream to play Hamlet one day.
Oh, my God.
Dave: Wait, that makes me say , "You did what?"
Reese: Yeah. That was... Ooh, I like the record scratch. Um, yeah. So I have directed Shakespeare. I've taught Shakespeare. I've had a Shakespeare class where I got to play Shakespeare in class, which was amazing.
Dave: Were you Shakespeare in Love?
Reese: I w- I'm-
Dave: I wanna watch that.
Reese: I'll, I'll re-watch that with you.
Dave: I wanna watch that. Yeah. Maybe we'll wa- maybe we'll watch that tonight.
I don't know.
Reese: Maybe We'll see. I don't know. Um-
Dave: See if the girls wanna watch it?
Reese: Yeah. Okay. Um-
Dave: So-
Reese: So yeah, so th- Yeah ... so that was fun. They were doing Much Ado About Nothing, uh, which is a very fun [00:12:00] play.
I did get cast, but it wasn't a part that I really w- uh, was able to do.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: They had asked me to, to be a swing, so I would-
Dave: Hey, yo.
Reese: Yep.
Dave: That's not what you think it is.
Reese: So just let it out.
Dave: Get your mind out of the gutter.
Reese: Just you. It's just you.
Dave: No, it's not just me.
Reese: So they asked me to, like- ... do that for, like, two, for the two of the main characters, and that I'd have to learn all their lines, jump in whenever.
I, I can't. I'm lucky I'm gonna be able to remember, the-
Dave: Well,
Reese: that's, that's- ... the security code to get into the garage ...
Dave: that's ins-
Reese: Like, that's a lot.
Dave: So listen, I'm just gonna say this. I feel like that's insane-
Reese: Yeah ...
Dave: for a community theater to be a swing.
Reese: Well, I think it's-
Dave: Where you- ...
Reese: lovely that they thought I could do it.
Dave: Yeah. Because for one, okay it's not like Shakespeare is, like, easy- ... to begin with, but then to have to... It's not, like, easy to memorize, memorize multiple parts-
Reese: Right ...
Dave: of a, like, a, a... Let's say it was, like, a kindergarten play. Right. That still wouldn't be easy.
Reese: Right. And to get the nuances of the characters too while not [00:13:00] only learning the lines.
Dave: And then not knowing which one you might be.
Reese: I know.
Dave: Maybe.
Reese: I know.
Dave: If- If the chance presents itself.
Reese: I just love that they-
Dave: I'm okay. Thanks ...
Reese: had faith that I can do that. But I really-
Dave: Thanks, but no thanks.
Reese: Yeah. I just, I could not do it. Yeah. Yeah. And I knew that I was also going to be... I had it in my brain that I was just gonna audition for, like, a whole bunch of different things and see what lands.
Mm-hmm. And the next thing I auditioned for that week was Barefoot in the Park, Neil Simon.
Dave: Nice.
Reese: And got the part that I wanted.
Dave: You got the part you wanted. Congratulations, babe.
Reese: It made me so happy.
Dave: Here we go. Congratulations. So happy for you, so proud of you.
Reese: Thank you.
Dave: You're-
Reese: Nailed it ...
Dave: you're doing it.
Reese: And guess what? I've aged out of the young ingenue, and now I get to play-
Dave: Mother ...
Reese: mom Mother ... mother
Dave: Mother ...
Reese: mom roles.
Dave: Which, you know what? A role you're fantastic at. Hmm. Let's think about that for a moment.
Reese: Thank you. [00:14:00] Well, it, and the character is really not far from my own personality, and it's Neil Simon, so as-
Dave: I'm excited to see it
Reese: you're gonna... So remember how much you laughed-
Dave: You're gonna ...
Reese: at the-
Dave: yes ...
Reese: Reefer Madness?
Dave: So listen, for those of you who don't know, so I, if you get a chance, come see Reese act. I love watching you act, because you're fantastic, and, and it's a lot of fun. And yes, uh, uh, you've probably heard me say it before, but yeah, when you did that 'cause, okay.
There are roles that are written-
Reese: Yeah ...
Dave: and then there are roles that are made.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And this is more of a role that's written- Right ... and you're gonna do what you're gonna do- Right ... but you're also gonna make parts of that your own. But when you can steal the show in, with a role that is, like, realistically nothing-
Reese: Yeah
Dave: ugh, forever impressed. And that was always I... That's the thing I wish, I want everybody that I know, I'm like, "Come see Reese do this." Like, that's [00:15:00] what I want everybody to see- Well- ... because it was fucking fantastic ...
Reese: all I was supposed to do, I was supposed to be, like, one of the note card girls, and just walk across the stage.
Dave: Well, that's what I'm saying.
Reese: And it went from that to me being in every- Every scene ... single scene.
Dave: Having a moment- ... in every scene. And I w- and then I was like, and I w- I'm just sitting there going, "Sir, I'm like, fucking of course. Of course." "Of course this is what happened."
Reese: And you know what?
Dave: You fucking-
Reese: It's, it's great directors-
it's great directors that I make a suggestion-
Dave: That recognize your brilliance? Yeah, yeah ...
Reese: and I'm like, "Hey-
Dave: Whatever ...
Reese: I'm gonna do this," and they were like, "Do it." Yeah. And then they let me do it.
Dave: Do it.
Reese: So this, so this also, it's Neil Simon, so I had been playing it, it takes place in, like, the '60s-
Dave: Mm-hmm ... '
Reese: 70s.
Late '60s.
Dave: I don't, I don't even really, I, and I don't-
Reese: The movies with- ...
Dave: I don't want to know-
Reese: The movies with Robert- ...
Dave: because I just wanna enjoy it ...
Reese: Redford and, uh, um- Jane Fonda
Dave: Oh, interesting.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: Yeah, I don't know... I know of it, but I don't know [00:16:00] it.
Reese: Yeah. Right? So- I've watched bits and pieces of it, um, in preparation
Dave: But Neil Simon is-
Reese: Listen
Dave: typically spot on funny
Reese: The jokes-
Dave: So it is a comedy ...
Reese: in this pl- Yeah. Okay Full on comedy. Takes place in New York, obviously.
Dave: Has he written anything that isn't a comedy? I remember all Neil Simon plays being... The only play that I did that was Neil Simon was Fools.
Reese: I, yes. W- I have that play.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Oh,
Dave: oh.
Reese: That I...
It was yours, and I took it.
Dave: I, I, I have that book.
Reese: Um, I took it, and now I have that book 'cause I took it. Um, he, he, he maybe like, uh, what's the other one? Uh, Blues...
Dave: Biloxi.
Reese: Biloxi Blues maybe.
Dave: Yeah, like they're all comedies, right? Like all he does is comedies.
Reese: But they're comedies, but they've got these elements of-
Dave: He's like a Ne- he's like a, he's like the m- he's the play version of Mel Brooks-
Reese: Yes
Dave: in many ways.
Reese: Yeah, but-
Dave: But not as campy ...
Reese: Barefoot in the Park, though- Yeah ... is not, there's not a lot of drama in there. It's silly. I watched parts of the movie. Mm-hmm. I thought Jane Fonda was a little whiny. Hmm ... but at auditions it did not get played whiny. [00:17:00] It was actually the person that they chose, I was like, "Oh, thank goodness this is not whi- Yeah
Like, it's- Yeah ... it's cutesy. It's a cute little couple, and then I play the mother, and all the things that that happen, I'm like cracking up reading the script. I'm like, "Oh yeah, I do that." She trips up the st- it's all about stairs at the beginning and all these stair jokes. Yeah. And so I had been playing it like the 1960s where they're, they still were coming out of like the, where they talk like this.
Like very like, "Why are you doing that? Why are you staring like that?"
Dave: I was doing a stair joke. I was waiting for you to notice.
Reese: I thought like you-
Dave: What you thought that I what?
Reese: I don't know. I thought maybe you were-
Dave: Sorry. Sorry, sorry, folks, for those of you that are watching. Anyway, go on. Continue.
Reese: Oh, boy.
I don't know how I can continue after that. Anyway It, uh, i- you know, the very f- formal way that they would speak. Yes. But then I had said, I was like, "Hey," 'cause it's, it's someone that I know that I've- Mm-hmm ... worked with before, and I was like, "Can I do a little New York Brooklyn accent here?"
Dave: Of course.
Reese: "Can I just-"
Dave: And can I wear this shirt-
Reese: [00:18:00] And immediately- ...
Dave: from Target ...
Reese: he's like-
Dave: No, from- ...
Reese: "A- absolutely" ...
Dave: Old Navy ...
Reese: "Ab- absolutely. Just do it. Just do it." And so I did it, and then that, that sealed the deal. Hmm. I think that's what got me... I also did also, for Shakespeare, I had my one moment where I got to do the monologue, and everybody was doing it kinda like whatever, and I was like, "I'm gonna do it with the Brooklyn accent."
Dave: Of course you are.
Reese: And it was like, "Oh, he's gonna call me an ass? I'll show him who's an ass." Yeah. And I did the whole, and it was really- Yeah ... it was-
Dave: And that's when everybody- ...
Reese: it was delightful. And that's when- But- ... they were like, "Please stop" ...
Dave: but yeah. Well, no. That's when people pay attention, right?
Reese: Right?
No, yeah, no, it was fine. So I'm very excited about that, and then can we please talk before we move on-
Dave: Yeah ...
Reese: about, um, Jen's birthday?
Dave: Okay. Let's talk about it.
Reese: Because I have to say-
Dave: So before we get there, though- I think we-
Reese: Wait ... really did it this time.
Dave: No, we- listen, we say that every time.
Reese: I know.
Dave: You do-
Reese: It's true
Dave: you, we, you do a good job. We get a, we get a thing. We get it going. You do a good job. Yeah. That's the second time I almost spilled my drink.
Reese: Stop trying to spill your drink.
Dave: I know.
Reese: Move it.
Dave: I'm trying. I'm trying real hard. So- W- what I wanna say is this, though, [00:19:00] as we were talking about theater and acting, is that, like, I think it might be time soon for me to get back on the stage.
Reese: I know.
Dave: Because I have not been on the stage-
Reese: I know ...
Dave: much lately for my work, and so I'm, I'm jonesing a little bit for the- Well- ... adoration.
Reese: Uh, Linda-
Dave: And applause ...
Reese: Linda at Acting Out is always asking-
Dave: Oh, yeah ...
Reese: for you to do stuff. Yeah. But I'm like- Well ... "He's busy, he's busy."
Dave: So-
Reese: But if you're not busy these days.
Mm. I, and then I also wrote a play, and I have a part for you.
Dave: Very exciting about that. Yeah. That's interesting. And then we were talking about potentially doing a play- Mm-hmm ... and creating something together- Mm-hmm ... that has some connection to this, but in a very different way.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And I think that could be interesting.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: So lots of things.
Reese: In the works.
Dave: Lots of, lots of pipe dreams, uh- Well- ... right now, but ...
Reese: you know, I would like to bring... In the, in the era of AI- Mm-hmm ... I think there's gonna be a renaissance- Mm-hmm ... of old school-
Dave: People-
Reese: And not even that- ...
Dave: wanting [00:20:00] soulful things Yes.
Reese: Yes. And, and, and not, I'm not even talking about, like, my analog stuff.
I'm talking about w- we have a lovely house that actually has what could be potentially a stage.
Dave: A stage. I mean, it is.
Reese: With a seating area.
Dave: That's how we use it for karaoke.
Reese: And, you and I are planning maybe to get some people together- Yeah ... to, to perform the script and have an audience- Yeah ... to audience.
Dave: You've been a wonderful audience.
Reese: You audience-audience, and then, uh, to get some feedback on it. Mm-hmm. I think we should definitely do some more stuff over the summer. Do some, you know, have- Yeah ... do some staged readings and things like that to get the-
Dave: I would love that, actually ...
Reese: you know?
Dave: I mean- I mean, so-
Reese: we got the lighting, we got the space.
Dave: Let's do it.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: I'm, I'm, I'm here for it.
Reese: 100%.
Dave: Let's do it.
Reese: I think it's gonna be the summer of theater.
Dave: I like it. Or let's, let's call it, even, not even theater. Let's call it the, the summer of artistic endeavors.
Reese: Huh.
Dave: Because I feel like music-
Reese: Yeah ...
Dave: wise, I... Okay, let me tell you a quick moment.
I, you were taking a nap, and so I don't know if you caught any of this, but I was, [00:21:00] I was outside doing some work in the yard at the end of the day today, and, uh-
Reese: You did a wonderful job in the backyard, by the way.
Dave: Uh, so
Reese: the m- Dave's been mulching it up ...
Dave: majority of the mulch, I've been doing it in stages.
I'm just, you know, doing a little bit every time I can. The weather has been weird.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Uh, but whenever it's kinda nice out, I'm like, "Let's go." And so the main parts, the majority of the stuff that I wanna get done is done, which is awesome. A little more to do, but the pool's open. Yeah. Got the pool open.
Reese: Pool is open.
Dave: Woohoo. Not ready to swim, of course. No, oh, God, yeah. But, but will be soon, so awesome. But while I was outside, I was walking, you know, behind me here, this window, and to my left here is the piano.
Reese: Yeah, I heard.
Dave: And I saw-
Reese: I heard it ...
Dave: I saw Emily was sitting up on the chair with the guitar.
Reese: Mm-hmm.
Dave: And, and earlier today, Jonnie was playing the piano- Yep ... and I was like, "Aw, I miss that."
Reese: This is, this is my favorite part-
Dave: I miss that ...
Reese: of them being home is when they-
Dave: This... I love the sound of them playing music together ...
Reese: are playing music and laughing and hanging out together
Dave: and- And so they were doing, uh, the new [00:22:00] Olivia Rodrigo song- Yeah
of course. But of course, it, it, it involved a lot of giggling.
Reese: Of course. The thing that makes me so sad-
Dave: Which is... They could be- ...
Reese: is that-
Dave: If they could just get it together-
Reese: They- ...
Dave: it'd be really good ...
Reese: their voices are- Yeah ... so beautiful. Yeah. And they play the instruments, and when they sing with their- So good
with their buddy Juju-
Dave: Yeah. But they end up just laughing too much ...
Reese: the three of them, their voices are beautiful. Mm-hmm. Like, but they don't take it seriously. Mm-hmm. And if you ask them to do something, they get all, like, shy, and I'm like, "Stop it."
Dave: Yeah, I know.
Reese: I know. They're amazing.
Dave: It's unfortunate because they, they really could be really good.
Reese: No, I'd, I would rather them not-
Dave: So- ...
Reese: do anything with it and just enjoy it for what it is because-
Dave: No but it's nice to- ... people- Like, I would love to, like-
Reese: People ruin it ...
Dave: when people are here and- Yes ... then, like, they do something, or they go do an open mic or something, and you're like, "What? Wow."
Reese: Well, I'm trying to get Emily now sh- if, if one of the local theaters do- Mm-hmm
Waitress, she wants to-
Dave: Oh ...
Reese: audition.
Dave: Yes. And
Reese: I'm like, "Oh-" She would
Dave: be good in that role, actually ...
Reese: she would be, she would be great, so.
Dave: Oh, I could totally see that.
Reese: Yeah, so-
Dave: Yeah ...
Reese: I'm, I'm [00:23:00] hoping maybe to, you know, now that they're home-
Dave: But she's gotta... They, they have to- ...
Reese: to drag her ...
Dave: my big note on the whole thing is that I, I, like, I love what they do, but they have to really commit to it.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And, and that's the one downfall. Like, I, I... So speaking of singing in public, and we'll, this will transition us into our party.
Reese: Well, I, I want, wanna... Yes, go ahead.
Dave: What I'm saying is- Yeah ... that, like, I was, I was signed up for karaoke, which I didn't... And obviously we- I do karaoke at the house.
Reese: Right.
Dave: But I was signed up for it in public, and I was like, "Okay, I'll do it," because I know he needed people to get going, and I was like- Mm
"All right, I'll do it." Piano Man.
Reese: That's the best one.
Dave: It's fun. I love, I love Billy Joel.
Reese: Mm-hmm.
Dave: But it was fun. Everybody gets into it. But uh, yeah, that was, like, a, the f- what, not the first time, but like, a long time in a while that I've, like, done karaoke, like, in public. In public
Reese: though like that- Yeah ... and e- everybody was like, "Dave can sing?"
Dave: I know. I know.
Reese: I'm like, "Yeah." It's
Dave: third time. Dude,
Reese: three times the charm.
Dave: Jesus f*ing Christ.
Reese: Move it to the other side.
Dave: I'm moving it, I'm moving it... Well, no, 'cause I got to drink it [00:24:00] from there, but I'm gonna put it farther away from myself because I, I'm the worst.
Reese: That would be-
Dave: So-
Reese: That would be a travesty.
Dave: Shut up, Peppah. I see you. So yeah, right? So funny because- ... you know.
Reese: And the way that you were dressed as you were singing it was-
Dave: All right ...
Reese: pretty top-notch ...
Dave: so tell, tell people, tell people what we did.
Reese: So, um, our friend Jen- Yeah ... every year for her birthday, Memorial Day weekend, Sunday, will have a themed birthday party.
Mm-hmm. And it, they usually have it at the local watering hole- Mm-hmm ... where we are. And, I'm always like, "Oh, man." And as like a theater person, we like to do theater. I don't mind. Put me in, but a- as long as I'm on the stage. Like, if I have to go out in public in the costume, I get weird, but no one ever cares, and it's fine.
So this is like the third time, fourth time. I think one year you went without me 'cause I was away.
Dave: Correct. Yes.
Reese: so-
Dave: And I wore my birthday suit to that one.
Reese: Yes, yes. And that was a real-
Dave: A real treat ...
Reese: crowd, a real crowd pleaser.
Dave: They're like, "Oh, my God. Why is it so small?"
Reese: They're like... Yes. And now Dave can sing, so they forgot about that.[00:25:00]
So-
Dave: And, and very, really high.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: It... Well, you had to be. Anyway, so-
Dave: Whoa.
Reese: So this year the theme was, since, um, MTV is no longer, which is kinda sad, uh- Which
Dave: I don't think is true ...
Reese: she did an MT... We can ta-
Dave: But anyway.
Reese: Whatever.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Uh, she did an MTV themed. You could do music video, singer, res- whatever, the, uh, or TV show, whatever, as long as it involves that.
So we went through a myriad of different things, right? And finally, I was like, "I got it," 'cause everybody's gonna assume we do, like, Beavis and Butt-Head or something like that. I was like, "I'm not doing that."
Dave: What, why do you think they would think we would do that?
Reese: First of all, also, I, we never do anything where I dress, like, sexy.
I'm always, like, some Bachegaloupe, like some-
Dave: Oh ...
Reese: idiot.
Dave: Bachegaloupe.
Reese: Bachegaloupe. Like, nothing ever. And everybody always, like, shows up, like, all like meh. And so, but not this year. Anyway, so I'm like, [00:26:00] one of my favorite shows ever, and, and I just finished listening to a couple of, um, podcasts with him on it, is Johnny Knoxville.
Dave: Oh yeah? Did you?
Reese: Yes. And-
Dave: Are these new ones?
Reese: So they have a new Jackass coming out. They do? So we, so we had a coup- Oh, my God ... he was on a couple of podcasts where he talked about how the-
Dave: You know how I know you're a Jackass- Yes ... you're still doing Jackass at least.
Reese: Yeah ... he's still doing it. Well, so he was talking about how, like, now he has to be super careful-
Dave: Dude, yeah
Reese: because he's, like, our age. Yeah. And so I'm like, "So yeah, we need to do..." And I'm, and I was like, "I gotta find a niche, niche ones because the... It'll work because if I'm Johnny Knoxville, you can be Bam, 'cause Bam went through a stage of, like, goth beard stuff."
Dave: Well, so, so the, the problem is that we always have to do something with a beard for me.
Right. And so that limits us.
Reese: A little bit.
Dave: But that was perfect. It was perfect. And people, people loved it.
Reese: Right. And it was so funny. Like, once I said- Yeah ... I was like, "I'm Johnny Knoxville," and then when I looked, they were like- ... "Bam." Like, they knew exactly who you were, but they weren't... So-
Dave: It was so good.
Reese: Yeah ... so I, one of my favorite- [00:27:00] pictures. And there's, like, a couple of moments where Johnny Knoxville, uh, but one of my favorite ones is when he's in the sailor-
Dave: Mm-hmm ...
Reese: outfit. Mm-hmm. And that was from the Jackass 3D. And then you were doing- Funny ... and it's so funny. Who noticed that... Oh, I think it was, um, Greg noticed that you were Skinny Bam, 'cause there was, like, Bam went through s-
Dave: s- Yeah, I, I have no idea
Reese: stages of weight- I never watched Jackass ... gain and weight loss ...
Dave: uh, but I know these people, but I never watched it. Right. And so I was like, "Cool." Oh, my God. I... Listen, I'll take Skinny Bam, thanks.
Reese: You were Skinny Bam. So, uh, your costume was elite. Like, it was very easy- Listen ... to put together.
Dave: Listen, and, and, and, and the ladies seemed to like it, too.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I was getting a lot of attention. I was like, "Oh."
Reese: Yeah, well- Oh, okay ... and some of the guys were a little,
Dave: like- Well, that goes without saying.
Reese: Of course. But- So yeah, and then I created the sailor outfit where I put the whole thing together. I actually looked online. Great job. Great job. I was gonna pay exorbitant amount of money to-
Dave: Oh, exorbitant
Reese: just to have it already [00:28:00] prepared. Yeah. But I was like, "You know what?" I was with Emily, and Emily's like-
Dave: Just fucking do it ...
Reese: looked at the picture. She's like, "Mom-
Dave: Yeah ...
Reese: you could definitely do this." So we're walking around Michael's. Yeah. She's like, "All right. Buy these iron-on letters."
Dave: Letters, yeah.
Reese: Okay. And she's like, "Then you can order the thing."
Yeah. I was like, "Okay." The only thing I couldn't get was the patch- Mm-hmm ... with the skull- Mm-hmm ... and the, the, the crossbones were the, um-
Reese and Dave: Crutches ... crutches.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: They did have the iron-on, but it would've f- I wouldn't have been able to expedite it and get it here in time.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: But I was able to get the sticker, which I cut them up.
Dave: Which was perfect. Yeah.
Reese: And so I put it... I, I glued the... But I glued it. I didn't take the sticker off. Yeah. I glued it with the back so that we can-
Dave: So we got to use the stickers-
Reese: We got to use the sticker ...
Dave: after we were done. Look at us. And- Who's better than us?
Reese: And so I posted-
Dave: You're a jackass.
Reese: R- exactly.
So I posted- ... several different videos of us. You were very kind to go along with my TikTok craziness, and-
Dave: I did ...
Reese: so many comments were, "Where [00:29:00] did you get the, uh- Where'd you get the shirt? Where'd you get the shirt? I was like, "I made the shirt."
Dave: Mm-hmm.
Reese: I made it. Mm-hmm. I did that. And people were like, "Oh my God."
But it wasn't that hard to, like, recreate.
Dave: No, it was great.
Reese: But... And so that was like a f- But that was a fun... Put him a little sailor hat. It-
Dave: It was a lot of fun.
Reese: It was a lot of fun.
Dave: And the best was you doing the... So I'm singing karaoke, and of course you got egged on, and-
Reese: Yeah ...
Dave: you start filming- Yeah ... a thing where you're like, "Jackass- Yeah
I'm gonna go..." Yeah. And so our big thing the whole night was like-
Reese: We're gonna punch-
Dave: Bam!
Reese: We're gonna punch everybody in the balls.
Dave: And we're punching people. We punched everybody in the balls, whether they had-
Reese: Whether they had them or not.
Dave: Yeah,
Reese and Dave: exactly. Exactly.
Dave: The... Stop saying what I say-
Reese: You are ...
Dave: when I say it. So,
Reese: Jackass.
Dave: Yeah. So it was a lot of fun. Everybody loved it. I think we, we got best couple costume-
Reese: We did ...
Dave: for the evening.
Reese: We did.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: As we should.
Dave: Which was really good. As we should.
Reese: And that was fun. And- Yeah ... and y- as usual, Dave and Reese- [00:30:00]
Dave: Kicking ass. ...
Reese: kicking ass. Jackass.
Dave: Jackass. Oh.
Reese and Dave: Anyhow. Anywow.
Reese: Anywow.
Dave: Uh, any...
Reese: Heh. Eh. I think our fallback could have also been-
Dave: Oh, you got a, you got a backup?
Reese: Well, I was like, we could have r- uh, I kept our costumes from when we did, uh-
Dave: oh ... Jersey Shore. Jersey Shore. Yeah, that could have worked as well. But
Reese: I'm
Dave: glad we did- And that would've
Reese: been great, and no one did that.
Dave: Okay. Oh, this is what I wanna say. I wrote down two times. Okay. So we had a conversation beforehand, and I don't know if we had this conversation on the podcast or we just had it or not, 'cause we had a, a, a, a, a break in between here. But we had, we were having a conversation with each other about the fact that the number of years we've done this, I don't know, at least five, right?
We've done this at least five times. We have never seen a duplicate
Reese: Yes
Dave: Right?
Reese: Except this time.
Dave: Okay, so this time one of them makes sense. You could see a duplicate of that happening. One of them is so obscure. [00:31:00] We had two duplicates this time around, which was fucking absolutely mind-blowing. One, what's her name?
Avril Lavigne.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: That's the one I could see.
Reese: Right.
Dave: Because, like, okay, she was popular-
Reese: That makes sense ...
Dave: big on MTV at the time. That makes a lot of sense to me. The one that I was fucking floored with was, ready?
Reese: Paula Abdul.
Dave: The Paula Abdul video where she dances and sings with the cat.
Reese: With the jazz cat.
He had a name and I forgot what it was.
Dave: Yeah. I, what was, what even is that song?
Reese: Now, the two, the two, um, uh-
Dave: I forget what it is. But y- you listen, if you were born when we were born, you know what I'm talking about.
Reese: Right. But-
Dave: It's the cartoon cat that came out of the, the Roger Rabbert, Rabbit era.
Reese: Roger Rabber.
Dave: The Roger Rabber.
Reese: All right. Uh, the two cat... Yeah.
Dave: Thank you. Thank you.
Reese: The two cats-
Dave: Yeah, I know, I, sometimes I can't either ...
Reese: definitely, uh- ... look similar, but there was two different Paula Abduls, and I was like, "Okay, that's-
Dave: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm ...
Reese: just, but so cute." But it was cute. It [00:32:00] was cute.
Dave: But I was fucking flipping out- I can't believe that that happened
because I was like, "Are you fucking kidding me?"
Reese: I know.
Dave: We just had this conversation.
Reese: I know.
Dave: And not one, but two.
Reese: And I was a little worried that someone might do Jackass-
Dave: No ...
Reese: and I'm like-
Dave: No ...
Reese: no one did it.
Dave: No, and people were so grateful that we did it.
Reese: I know. It was good. I'm glad that we did. And, and-
Dave: That was a lot of fun
Reese: could we just make a couple of recommendations quick before we do this?
Dave: Please.
Reese: Uh-
Dave: Recommendations to what?
Reese: We watched The Bride. Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride. This- Now, listen, this is not for everybody.
Dave: No, it's not for everyone.
Reese: If you don't l-
Dave: Ed ...
Reese: yes, Ed don't bother ...
Dave: listen, I'm
Reese and Dave: just gonna ignore. Ed- Yes
just fucking fuck off. This is just for Ed. All right, Ed? And also Sarah. Fuck off. Sarah, don't watch this. You're not gonna wanna watch this. This is not for you.
Dave: And Sarah, fuck you.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: You're not gonna watch this either.
Reese: No, seriously.
Dave: Seriously, just fucking-
Reese: Don't like it ...
Dave: I don't give a fuck. You're like, "I'll make break it."
No, fuck you. Don't watch it.
Reese: Yeah, don't watch it.
Dave: Because I don't wanna hear your bullshit.
Reese: Yeah, do not watch it. It's artsy-fartsy. It's very, uh, very, uh-
Dave: Eh, I kid you, I love you both ...
Reese: pro-feminist. I love you both. Uh, no, we, of course we do. That's why we're telling you not to watch it. Yeah. Uh, and also, um, uh-
Dave: What else?
What [00:33:00] else?
Reese: Drew? Brandy don't watch it. Oh, Brandy. Uh, Brandy. B- not that Brandy listens to this. Listen. But Brandy also should not ever listen-
Dave: Well, he, he watches the clips and all he does is spiteful about the things that he, we have made him watch ...
Reese: uh, this one. Do not watch. This is not for you, Brandy.
Dave: So the clip will come out and he'll be like, "Rah."
Reese: This is not for you. Yeah. Uh, so but- ... I just thought it was beautiful and, and it's giving me ideas for next Halloween. Oh, Jesus. Not that we're gonna do it, 'cause I'm gonna change it 57 times. But what- Yeah ... what is her name? Jessie, what's her name? Jessie-
Dave: Oh, yeah. What is her name?
Reese: She doesn't have a name that, like, sticks with you.
She was in, she-
Dave: Oh, I f*ing know it ...
Reese: won the Academy Award for Hamnet.
Dave: Sh- Hamnet, yes. I was like, "Sh-Hamnet."
Reese: I, first of all- I
Dave: always say Shakespeare ...
Reese: I'm in lo-
Dave: She's, she's brilliant. I love her too ...
Reese: I'm in love with her. I'm in love with her.
Dave: What is her name? I, f- I can't... Well, I, I don't know.
Reese: Well, I'm gonna look it up, 'cause you sent me...
I also want you to know-
Dave: I know her. She does, she sings, yeah ...
Reese: so was this from a musical or something? Or she-
Dave: She does both. She's sung in musicals- She's a- ... but she also sings, like, regular music. Jessie... Is it Jessie? Is it Jessica? Yes.
Reese: Jessie. Uh- Jessie- ... Jessie Buckley.
Dave: Buckley. [00:34:00] How do we not- Buckley. Buckley.
There you go.
Reese: How do we not know- '
Dave: Cause you got Jeff Buckley, Jessie Buckley.
Reese: Jessie Bu- and this-
Dave: Jessie, Jeff ...
Reese: and it's been-
Dave: We got it ...
Reese: almost 30 years since Jeff Buckley died, just saying, which is also wild.
Dave: A whole other thing. Wild. Again, Ed, Sarah.
Reese: Don't worry about it. Just-
Dave: Leave it alone.
Reese: Just don't worry about it.
Dave: Not for you.
Reese: So, uh, yeah, Jessie Buckley. She, so she dominated as the Bride, Frankenstein, whatever.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: I thought it was beautiful. Uh, and-
Dave: It was good. And- Uh, Christian Bale's in it.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: He was fine. Um, directed and written, written I think also by-
Reese: Maggie Gyllenhaal ... mm-hmm, Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Dave: Amazing. Uh, her brother's in it, uh, the brother.
Reese: And, and her husband.
Dave: Uh, yeah, her husband as well.
Reese: She, she very much put everybody in there.
Dave: Uh, one of the Skarsgård - Yeah ... if you, for those of you playing along.
Reese: Um, listen.
Dave: Jake Gyllenhaal is in it.
Reese: It's been a long time since they've done a-
Dave: It was a good movie. I liked it. I enjoyed it ...
Reese: a familiar character and lore-
Dave: Yeah
Reese: that has been not the stereotypical... I do the... It's, I, I call it, like, the Spider-Man [00:35:00] syndrome, where they have to- Oh ... like, they wanna do, you know, a, a remake, and they tell the same story-
Dave: Well, the same story ...
Reese: with different actors- Time and time again, yeah ... and they don't do anything with it. Yeah. This was about the Bride.
Oh, I agree. Yeah. This, this, it was... I just, I thought it was beautiful. I thought it was amazing. Um-
Dave: Yeah. Well, that, that was right up your alley.
Reese: I, uh, of course.
Dave: No joke. Like-
Reese: And it's, like, weirdo stuff ... period. So if you're not into it, just move along. Yeah. Just, it's okay. Carry on.
Dave: But I, I enjoyed it. Yes. But I also understand how people didn't enjoy it.
Reese: Of course.
Dave: Because, a- as we were having that conversation, I was like, "The kids today- ... don't have the I don't mean this negatively
Reese: Right ...
Dave: but the capacity to think beyond the immediate of what it is.
Reese: Right.
Dave: Right?
Reese: Well, so now-
Dave: And, and so this is a, a little out there-
Reese: Emily ...
Dave: in some of its things, but ...
Reese: loves Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
Dave: Mm, Frankenstein.
Reese: Loves it.
Dave: I, I'd be, I'd be curious if she likes this.
Reese: So I told her-
Dave: I, I don't know if she would ...
Reese: no, she [00:36:00] immediately, we talked about it today. She immediately said, "I'm probably not gonna like it," 'cause she really can't.
Dave: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Reese: Which that tracks. That is fair.
Dave: Fair.
Reese: I do not take that- Fair
as, like, anything bad- Because- ... because I know I'm niche and I'm, you know-
Dave: Listen, but, but also because we're looking at things from more of an artistic perspective-
Reese: Mm ...
Dave: versus just a-
Reese: And she's very protective of Frankenstein- ... consumption ... itself, but this is not about Frankenstein.
Dave: I, the parts that I do think she would like, though, is when she plays Mary Shelley.
Reese: Bingo.
Dave: Right?
Reese: And I love that they did that.
Dave: Right? Yeah. So-
Reese: It's narration, storytelling-
Dave: It's- ... and I love it ... I enjoy it. And, and again, Jessie Buckley, phenomenal. Oh. She's, I'm, uh, I think that's our new girl crush. Yes. She's amazing. Yes. Yeah.
Reese: Phenomenal.
Dave: Yeah. So- And she, there's something about her that's captivating to watch.
Reese: It's real.
Dave: And then to me-
Reese: It's natural. It's never forced ...
Dave: and I think to you as well, because she's so talented- Super hot
Reese: Yes
Dave: Right? I'm like,
Reese: yes. Yes, she's b- I think she's beautiful
Dave: [00:37:00] Hmm.
Reese: She's b- Jesse Buckley, good.
Dave: Hmm, Jesse Buckley.
Reese: Fire. Bad. Ah.
Dave: I am... Listen Jesse Buckley-
Reese: I prefer not to ...
Dave: if you ever listen to this, I, I apologize for whatever that was.
Reese: And I don't-
Dave: I'm sorry ...
Reese: I don't. That was-
Dave: No ...
Reese: that was-
Dave: Reese will attack you ...
Reese: amazing. Arrr But arr,
Dave: but no.
Reese: And now as a pirate.
Dave: I, I, yeah.
Reese: That, and also I recommend- ... the new season of Jury Duty- So- ... but it's company retreat ...
Dave: we just finished that-
Reese: Wholesome cuteness ...
Dave: and I told the girls their j- their mission-
Reese: It's like The Office
Dave: is this weekend, you're home, you just have to just plow through it.
Reese: Yeah, it's so easy to do.
Dave: It's so good. So s- So good ...
Reese: the writing is amazing. So good. It's so... And the improv,
Dave: all of it. And just, and the, the g- the people that they find-
Reese: Uh, outstanding ...
Dave: to be just like... It's all about... This is what... Okay.
I'm gonna take a moment to just say that, like, I, I do not like reality TV-
Reese: Same ...
Dave: because they always look for-
Reese: With some exceptions ...
Dave: Listen, because [00:38:00] typically what they do in these situations is they look for just horrible people. And what I do like about Jury Duty, if you haven't seen Jury Duty, do yourself a favor.
It's on Amazon Prime. Watch both se- seasons. But what I enjoy about what they do is they're actually looking for good people.
Reese: Yeah. They're looking for the hero.
Dave: And, well, hero, time out, hero just means the main character-
Reese: Yeah ...
Dave: regardless of-
Reese: And, but they- But, but- ... seem to find the pure-hearted-
Dave: But- ... soul ... in, but yeah, so in this, in the scenarios with which, with, with what they do here, and the idea is that, so the, uh, first season Jury Duty was there's gonna be this thing happening, but none of it is real.
Right. And, but everybody except one person knows that it isn't real.
Reese: Now. It's like Truman Show.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Now, we-
Dave: Yeah, it's exactly like Truman Show ...
Reese: we watched that first season, and I enjoyed it.
Dave: Amazing, because the person- But- ... steps up and does the right [00:39:00] things and is amazing ...
Reese: but when he, when he found out, it broke my heart because I was like- Oh, because you're like, "Wow"
"Can you imagine?" Like- Well, it's
Dave: a mind fuck ...
Reese: it's a mind fuck. It's a mind fuck. And I was like, "That is kind of mean." This season, I think they learned a lot from the first season, and psychologically they did a better job, and I love how they handled it
Dave: I cried a lot with this season.
Reese: Yeah, yeah. It was easy to cry.
It was easy to cry.
Dave: Just because you're like, "Yes, dude, yes."
Reese: And they cried because they, they were cheering for him the whole time.
Dave: So that's-
Reese: And he was such a-
Dave: So my favorite thing in the whole thing was how much they fucking loved this guy.
Reese: Yeah. How could you not? He-
Dave: And, and, and ...
Reese: was a really good person
Dave: they, they became real friends.
Reese: Yeah, I know.
Dave: And it was, uh, the whole father to father. It was- Oh, that's the, that's my big moment ...
Reese: ah, it was wholesome.
Dave: So- So good. So good ...
Reese: good show.
Dave: So listen, if you get an opportunity, watch it. Watch some of the bonus content too. We didn't do the, like, commentary over the episodes, but we did, like, some of the other things that [00:40:00] they recorded.
It was so good. Also worth it. A lot of fun.
Reese: And the other thing that we're kinda watching and ready to wrap up but doing it in small bites is Paradise.
Dave: Oh, Para- This- Paradise is great ... this season has been great We're on season two of Paradise. But it's- You're a little slow to get going on it-
Reese: Because I, it's-
Dave: because you just can't take it ...
Reese: it's, I have a thing-
Dave: But it's so good ...
Reese: with, like-
Dave: it's apocalyptic ...
Reese: apocalyptic stuff these days Yeah.
Dave: Apocalypto So- Remember that? We should watch that again.
Reese: Oh my God, I don't know if I could do that. But anyway, all right. So let's move on to some questions.
Dave: Sorry, listen.
We're 41 minutes in. We wanted to, like-
Reese: Let's do one, one question.
Dave: No, we're gonna do three of them.
Reese: We'll do three? All right.
Dave: We got three. Let's go. 'Cause they, these usually go pretty quick.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: So we're here with the Hypertheticals again. Thank you, Chuck Klosterman. Appreciate you. So I've got three cards here.
Reese: All right. Let's go. What are, what are they?
Dave: As we normally do when we do do these. And so your options are Canadian football future. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
Reese: Sounds terrible.
Dave: Rudimentary magician.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: That sounds like the one-
Reese: That sounds great ...
Dave: we're gonna do first. And last but not least, Forever [00:41:00] 75.
I almost, I feel like I should show you. There's a Forever 75 has a piece of cake
Reese: And it looks like it's decaying. Fantastic ...
Dave: Ru- Rudimentary Magician, camera come back to me, thank you, has the pocket aces. And Canadian Football Future has the Canadian football team flag. So-
Reese: Sure ...
Dave: number one, where would you like to go first?
Reese: Rudimentary.
Dave: I knew that would be the first one. Okay.
Reese: Or should we save that for last?
Dave: Your choice. You're the caller.
Reese: Uh.
Dave: Huh.
Reese: Let's start with the worst one.
Dave: Canadian Football Future Canadian. Yep. Fucking Canadians. No, I'm kidding. Okay. I'm kidding. All right. Canadian Football Future. Hopefully this isn't a situation where I have to take my glasses off.
All right, there's a lot of reading here. You ready? Someone builds an optical portal that allows you to see a vision of your own [00:42:00] life in the future. It's essentially a crystal ball that shows a randomly selected image of what your life will be like in 20 years. You with me?
Reese: I'm already there.
Dave: You can only see into this portal for 30 seconds.
When you finally peer into the crystal, you see yourself in a living room, two decades older than you are today. Ooh, that puts us in our 70s.
Reese: Yeah, that does. That's pretty awful.
Dave: You're watching a Canadian football game
Reese: Sounds about right
Dave: And you are extremely happy. What? Okay. You are wearing a Canadian Football League jersey.
Reese: Never.
Dave: Your chair is surrounded by books and magazines that promote the CFL.
Reese: No.
Dave: What the fuck happened? And there are CFL pennants covering your walls.
Reese: So apparently I've died and I'm in [00:43:00] hell-
Dave: Something-
Reese: and this is hell ...
Dave: something tragic happened.
Reese: Yep.
Dave: You ready? You are alone in the room, but you are gleefully muttering about historical moments in Canadian football history Wow. It becomes clear that for some unknown reason you have become obsessed with Canadian football. Why?
Reese: Dementia?
Dave: And, and maybe. And this future-
Reese: Drug use
Dave: and this future is static and absolute. No matter what you do, the future will happen. So even if you're like, "I saw that, I'm not gonna get into it," it's still gonna happen. The optical porter, portal, porter... The optical portal is never wrong. This destiny cannot be changed. You are gonna love Canadian football, Reese.
The next day you're flipping-
Reese: Oh, there's more ...
Dave: you're flipping through television channels and [00:44:00] randomly come across a pre-season CFL game between Toronto Argonauts and the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Reese: Also sounds awful.
Dave: Knowing, knowing your inevi- inevitable future, do you watch it? It sounds like you're not gonna watch that.
Reese: I would watch it if I knew it's my future. I'd need to know what I'm getting into.
Dave: Do you think you're gonna watch it?
Reese: If I need to know what I'm getting into, I'll watch it.
Dave: I'm gonna say-
Reese: And I'm gonna preface with I never thought in a million years that I would be-
Dave: You would watch football ...
Reese: watching...
Forget about football.
Dave: Oh.
Reese: Patriots.
Dave: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Reese: Because I'm from New York, so- yeah,
Dave: unfortunately ...
Reese: I never thought-
Dave: I'm kidding. Brooklyn Cafe. Old Navy.
Reese: You're not allowed to go in there.
Dave: Old Navy.
Reese: And we, I wasn't like a football...
Dave: I learned how to do these on this machine.
Reese: Fantastic. How gr- More, more accessible ... how delightful for me.
Dave: Yeah. And everyone.
Reese: Um, the- I was always a hockey person. Yeah, yeah. New [00:45:00] York Rangers hockey all the way, and-
Dave: We're, we're gonna get to a hockey game, by the way.
Reese: Okay. Um- We'll do that ... I hope so. But-
Dave: Well...
Reese: So, but I never thought in a million years, like, I'd be a Pats fan.
I have been a Pats fan for, since we've been together. I could see out of nowhere for no reason you and I find, like, niche things to get excited about.
Dave: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Reese: I would... Then I guess if I knew that this is my fate, I might as well jump in on it.
Dave: So-
Reese: I think I'd be fine, and I think you'd be okay with it as well.
Dave: So, uh, listen. I'd be okay when we get there. I almost feel like, okay, if I looked in the future and I know I'm gonna eventually get there, I don't think I would watch it. And I'm saying that because I wouldn't watch it n- in the, in the present because- I don't enjoy college football. I don't enjoy the-
Reese: But it's our fate, babe.
Something makes us- ...
Dave: the other non-NFL versions of football basically ...
Reese: something is making us, is gonna make us do it. Maybe one [00:46:00] of our daughters-
Dave: But that's what I'm saying ...
Reese: might move to Canada-
Dave: Listen, listen ...
Reese: and this is our fate.
Dave: But this is, this is what I'm saying, is that I know I'm eventually gonna do it, and this is saying, like, look, kn- if you're knowing that it's gonna happen, would you bother to do it now?
And I'm like, "No, I'm not gonna bother to do it now, 'cause it's gonna happen anyway, so I'm just gonna let it happen."
Reese: But I'd like to know preemptively. Yeah, I- I'm the type of person, if you tell me, "Look, if you have a surprise for me, don't tell me about it."
Dave: No, don't tell you there's a surprise-
Reese: "Just do the surprise."
Dave: 'cause then you'll be like, "Ah, I f*ing-"
Reese: But if you're like, "Hey, I have a surprise for you," I'm like... "But I can't show you now," we're gonna fight- Yes ... because I need to know. So if, if I know this is a thing, I want a little-
Dave: You're gonna, you're gonna wanna watch it.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: All right. So let us know. Okay.
Listen, hit us up. Send us a message if you're in the Manic Joy, uh, text thread. Yep. You hearing this now, let us know. Sarah and Ed- Would you watch, would you watch this, uh- ... and Sharon ... ahead of, ahead of time? Mm-hmm. All right, here we go. You ready?
Reese: Yep.
Dave: Forever 75 or Rudimentary Magician? I feel like we wanna leave The Magician for last-
Reese: Yes
Dave: because of course that's gonna be the best one.
Reese: Yes. Right? Well, it might suck, but we'll make it [00:47:00] great.
Dave: I feel like whenever magic is involved...
Reese: Aw. Aw. He's sleeping on the couch.
Dave: Yeah, probably.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Or sitting by there going, "
Reese: What- He's depressed ...
Dave: what happening in there?"
Reese: Our, that's our cat, Magic. He's depressed.
What, what- It's very hot ...
Dave: what happened in that room-
Reese: What,
what i- what is going on in there? ... that I can't go into? In the magic room?
Dave: All right. Okay. Forever 75. Yep. Forever 75, camera come to me. Yep. This is the card with the cake. There's cake on this card. Here we go.
Reese: Cake.
Dave: You celebrate your 75th birthday in good health.
Reese: Nice.
Dave: As far as you can tell, you are a spry, relatively normal 75-year-old, and this condition- Does not seem to change over time. When you celebrate your 80th birthday, you look and feel exactly the same as you did on your 75th.
Reese: Oh, I like that.
Dave: When you hit 90-
Reese: Oh ...
Dave: you still feel-
Reese: God bless ...
Dave: and look 75.
Reese: Sure.[00:48:00]
Dave: On your 100th birthday-
Reese: Oh, crap ...
Dave: holy f*ing sh*t.
Reese: Goddammit ...
Dave: you realize that most of your friends are now dead-
Reese: Oh, God ...
Dave: or dying.
Reese: Oh my God.
Dave: But physically, you are the same independent person you were 25 years ago at 75. You hit the age 110.
Reese: No.
Dave: This is like being a vampire-
Reese: I don't like it ...
Dave: with the same results.
Every year, you are celebrating a new birthday without physically evolving beyond the age of 75. Yeah. This is actually, this is interesting. Doctors have no explanation for this inexplicable stasis.
Reese: It's called whiskey.
Dave: It might be. We're g- I, listen, I'm sure we're gonna find out.
Reese: I was gonna, I was gonna buy some today.
Dave: You are, you- I didn't buy any. I forgot ... you are determined, determined to make it so. Yeah. How old would you have to be before you start to seriously believe that you are immortal? [00:49:00] Ooh.
Reese: I would think after 101 I'd, I'd have to start questioning-
Dave: Listen ... some things. Listen. All right.
Reese: If I was coherent enough.
Dave: I'm gonna say this, I'm gonna say this now, and I'm gonna look directly into the camera as I say it.
Reese: Oh, sh*t. He's doing it.
Dave: If this comes to me. If I f*ing make it to 100, f*ing kill me.
Reese: No. If I make it to 100, if I make it to 100.
Dave: What?
Reese: And I'm still cogent and hilarious-
Dave: Oh, don't kill me ...
Reese: and spry, don't kill me.
Keep giving me bourbon and french fries and-
Dave: Bourbon- ...
Reese: f* off ...
Dave: and french fries. That's, that's the secret-
Reese: And Benedict Cumberbatch ...
Dave: right there. Oh my God.
Reese: And as long as my children-
Dave: He is, Benedict, Benny's gone.
Reese: No, he's-
Dave: Benny's on a, on a egg sandwich someplace ...
Reese: he's, how dare you-
Dave: Hello ...
Reese: first of all. As long as my children are around and think I'm hilarious, like, we loved my grandmother, so any- Yeah, my mom was a show- We brought her everywhere.
She was a showstopper-
Dave: This is true ...
Reese: in her 80s. And so as long as I'm like-
Dave: A showstopper ...
Reese: as long as I'm fun and-
Intro Music: You're definitely a showstopper ...
Reese: if the kids wanna make a-
Dave: I feel like this [00:50:00] is definitely destined to happen ...
Reese: yeah, the kids wanna make like a TikTok-
Dave: You're gonna make it to at least 80 ...
Reese: and I got my gr- my grandkids and great...
God bless. I hope so.
Dave: So-
Reese: I just wanna be a fun time. I don't wanna be a burden, so as long as like I'm, we're having a good time.
Dave: So
Reese and Dave: have a good time.
Reese: I don't care. I don't care. Let's go.
Dave: At the, at the party I have the he- I have the cups, I apologize
Reese: And I, my nose- Wow ... is running, so I'm like,
Dave: Lots of fun happening.
Jeez. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know, but I don't know-
Reese: Let's make it to 101.
Dave: I, well, yeah, w- let's get to 75 first, okay? Listen.
Reese: Let's get to 55, just saying.
Dave: But we were having the same conversation. I was having this conversation with Alex at the party. Yeah 'Cause sh- 'cause sh- 'cause I, we're the same age.
Reese: Yeah
Dave: ish.
Reese: Yeah
Dave: And I was like, I don't know why we started talking about it
Reese: But do you feel 52?
Dave: I, well, no, I don't feel, I-
Reese: I don't know about you- I'm s- ... but I'm not feeling 52 ...
Dave: I'm starting to feel 52.
Reese: Well, when I had to bend down- I was
Dave: telling you I made my fucking hand- ... to clean,
Reese: yes,
Dave: you're doing- Oh, doing all the yard work, I was like, ow- Yeah
things hurt. [00:51:00] Yeah. But I go to yoga, I feel better.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: So- Well- ... you know ...
Reese: I, listen, I bought-
Dave: Yeah ...
Reese: can we talk about, I bought my bunion corrector. I bought a,
Dave: a- Okay ...
Reese: a g-
Dave: Let's take a moment
Reese: to- ... guava brush ... appreciate that- I don't know what it's called ...
Dave: Reese has a lot of contraptions ...
Reese: the guru brush. I bought, uh, I got the-
Dave: These days
Reese: the, what's the thing that I sit on, that- Yeah ... stand on, the vibration plate?
Dave: You, you got the, you got the vibration, you got a vibration plate. Um- You've got a massage contraption ...
Reese: I got, oh, I got my shiatsu massage-
Dave: You've got a face thing ...
Reese: oh my God, I got all the things. You've got a, you got a bunion corrector.
I lay in bed at night, I lay in bed with all the things on there for like a good hour. You,
Dave: oh my God, Reese.
Reese: And I've been falling asleep like an angel. Not that I stay asleep, but I've been feel, like-
Dave: I got none of those things, by the way, and I feel pretty good ...
Reese: well, I do a little of the brush on you. You don't like the-
Dave: No, I don't, I don't mind
Reese: no one likes my massager, but whatever ...
Dave: I, I, it's not that I don't mind the massager, it's just I don't, I don't feel the need to have to do it.
Reese: I love all of it. But- It just, whatever it does, but-
Dave: But anyway, you, you've got a lot of contraptions these days ...
Reese: yes, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Dave: But the conversation we started having, and I was like, "Okay," [00:52:00] 'cause I was kinda like, I don't know, if I get to a certain age, like I, I feel like in many ways we're like, we're not supposed to live this long.
The only reason we have is because we've made medical advancements, right? When you think about just like historically, like people died at like thir- in their 30s. I'm, I'm gla-
Reese: I know, 'cause they didn't have medication-
Dave: I'm glad we've made it past- ... and they didn't have ... our 30s. Right. I feel like, okay, I wanna get to, yeah, I do wanna see my grandkids.
But I get the conversation because we were like, "Oh, our kids are older than most other kids." And I was like, "Okay, well, I'll see my grandkids." And, and the, and was like, "Oh, okay, like I get it, like your kids are still younger, and I hope you get to see your grandkids." Right? But like, I was like, "Okay."
Well,
Reese: we're gonna see grandkids and grandcats, but that's fine.
Dave: Well, yeah. But - But, but I was just kinda like, I was like, wow. I was like, listen, I feel like I don't know what I feel like is right. Like, I don't wanna be, I feel like, I don't know, I feel like 80 is good for me. If I make it to 80-
Reese: Listen, I had an aunt-
Dave: I'm happy ...
Reese: I had an aunt that I- a, like little- ... kind of grew up with, a little tiny ...
Dave: was it a red aunt, or was it a-
Reese: She was like [00:53:00] a, no, she was like fi- ...
Dave: was it a carpenter ant? ...
Reese: fire ant. She was fiery.
Dave: Oh, it was a fire ant. Okay, this is true.
Reese: No, they brought her out, she lived to like her 90s, and they w- and she was in a facility where she should be, because that's a lot of responsibility- Yeah
whatever.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Every time they would show pictures, oh my God, she was like the cutest, sweetest thing, and it's that line of like my grandmother's- Yeah ... cousins and stuff. Like, they were just cute little peanuts. Mm-hmm. Like, they were the cute little, mm. And they didn't wanna bother anybody. They weren't like a burden.
They weren't like- Yeah ... a whole thing. Yeah. Like, it was like- Well- ... that's what I want. As long as I'm-
Dave: Yeah, if- ...
Reese: I'm fun to be around-
Dave: I'm spry enough- ...
Reese: and I can go to bed and- ...
Dave: to not make it a burden ...
Reese: yes.
Dave: Yeah, yeah. I agree.
Reese: Yes. I agree. Then let's, let's- I agree ... let's fucking go. So- I like, I'm okay with that
Dave: but the answer to the question is how old would you have to be before you start seriously- Oh,
Reese: by 75, I'd be like, "I'm still here?"
Dave: 75, that was the first one.
Reese: But I'm just saying, like-
Dave: But you made it to 110 ...
Reese: to make it there.
Dave: So you make it to 110. So-
Reese: I make it to 100- ...
Dave: think about- ...
Reese: I'm gonna be [00:54:00] questioning things
Dave: think about, listen, we already talked about, I said 80. I was like, okay, so you make it past where you think you were gonna make it. How, how soon do you start to think you're immortal?
Reese: Immortal.
Dave: Immor-
Reese: I, I already think you're immortal.
Dave: I, I definitely am not.
Reese: Do you think you're immortal?
I'm immortal. I'm a super mortal.
Dave: Oh, wow. Wow.
Reese: This drink hit real good.
Dave: Real good.
Reese: Maybe it's 'cause I ate that roast beef-
Dave: I think you should eat that lemon peel ...
Reese: at 2:00. I am not doing that. What time is it now? That roast beef sandwich was at 2:00.
Dave: We're, oh, so I was saying we need to, we need to check with the girls, see what they wanna order for food.
Reese: It is taco salad time. 'Cause I'm ready. I'm ready to go. All right. Yeah, let's go.
Dave: All right, so listen.
Reese: But, okay,
Dave: all right. All right, so listen ...
Reese: let's do the last one.
Dave: When do you seriously believe that you are immortal? I don't know. I don't think I'm immortal.
Reese: After 80.
Dave: But no, if I make it to fucking 110 though-
Reese: Yeah, that's crazy, and people do that
Dave: I think, okay, so wait.
Reese: People make it to 100, that's-
Dave: What is it? It's 75, and then you make it to 100. If I make it to 100, that's when I'm starting to think like, "Bitch, fuck with me. Let's go."
Reese: Yeah,
Dave: put me in a- If I make it to 100- ...
Reese: put me in [00:55:00] silly T-shirts, and let's make some TikToks, bitch ...
Dave: if I make it to 100 and I'm still like fucking let's go-
Reese: Pickles
Dave: I'm a fucking vampire ...
Reese: cigars, and whiskey ...
Dave: I'm a vampire.
Reese: Let's go.
Dave: Let's go. All right, last one. All right, let's go. Here we go. The Rudimentary Magician. All right, let's go. Now, this is the one that we feel like will be the best one, but- I think that's probably why I suck ... I actually feel like Forever 75 was better than we thought it was gonna be.
Reese: Forever 75 was good.
Dave: Listen, if I can-
Reese: And Forever Shirt, is that the new store that you created?
Dave: If I can still be drinking these martinis- Forever 75 ... at 100, let's go.
Reese: Let's do another one.
Dave: Here we go.
Reese: Let's go.
Dave: Let's assume-
Reese: Oh, why are you screaming?
Dave: Let's just assume you met a rudimentary magician.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: That we have, actually.
Reese: We have, actually, a few.
Dave: We have. Let's also assume that he can do five simple magic tricks.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: Five of them.
Reese: Emily can do five.
Dave: Number one, you ready?
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: He can pull a ri- rabbit out of his hat.
Reese: A rah.
Dave: A rah.
Reese: He can pull a rah.
Dave: Rah rah rah. He can be Lady Gaga.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: He can pull a rabbit out of his [00:56:00] hat.
Reese: Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah.
Dave: He can make a coin disappear.
can turn the ace of spades into the joker card. He can do two other things in a similar vein. These are the only tricks, and he can't learn any more. Oh.
Reese: That's so sad.
Dave: He can only do these five. It's not an illusion. He can actually conjure the bunny out of the ether, and he can move the coin through space.
Reese: Ooh.
Dave: Hmm. He's legitimately magical. But extremely liter- limited in scope and influence. All right. Here comes the question, but I'm also kinda like, "Dude, are you fucking kidding me? Like, he can really do these things?"
Reese: Let's go. Let's go.
Dave: Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein? Yes. Yes. No question.
Reese: Wait. The magician-
Dave: No question ...
Reese: would be
Reese and Dave: more impressive- More impressive than Albert Einstein? ... than Albert Einstein?
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: No.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: I'm gonna stop you right there.
Dave: [00:57:00] Okay. Why?
Reese: He had sex with Marilyn M- Monroe, and how dare you?
Dave: That's why.
Reese: Have you seen what Albert Einstein looked like?
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Hello.
Dave: Whatever.
Reese: Hello.
Dave: Hello. Hi.
Hi. Listen, uh, yeah-
Reese: Alright, Forrest Gump. No ...
Dave: you, you know why,
you know why he would be more impressive to me?
Reese: Also, Albert Einstein, like-
Dave: I love, this is like a f*cking what?
Reese: No, what?
Dave: He would be more impressive because listen. Albert Einstein had ideas and thoughts and, ways to think about things.
But this guy's f*cking, "Hey, look at this f*cking bunny," came out of f*cking nowhere. It's a real bunny. He did it. He moved a coin from nowhere to somewhere. He's actually doing these tricks. They're not illusions. They're not illusions, Reese. They're real things that are happening. Like, if, if [00:58:00] I looked at you right now and I just said, "Reese," if you were looking at my hand and I went, "Reese, watch this.
