Dave and Reese set out for a simple mission: survive Record Store Day and grab a rare Weezer release.
That doesn’t happen.
Instead, they get long lines, bad information, and a slow realization that the one thing Reese wanted most is already gone.
From there, the conversation does what it always does. It drifts. Music, aging rock stars, weird documentaries, and why memory never works the way you think it does.
Also, at some point, Shaquille O’Neal is in their shower. No one calls the police.
This is a funny couples podcast about midlife marriage, disappointment, and how a bad day somehow turns into a pretty good one.
[00:00:00]
Dave: When you ask O'Neill what he is doing in your home, he simply says, I don't remember. Do you call the police?
Reese: Absolutely not.
Dave: No.
Reese: Is that the question?
Dave: Yeah. Do you call the police?
Reese: No. I would take care of him. I would be like, what do we do with these Christmas cookies and diamonds, Shaq?
Intro Music: This is Dave. This is Reese, and this is Manic Joy, a podcast about life, love, and, and uncertainty.
Dave: Cheers to you, my friend.
Reese: Oh, cheers.
Dave: My love.
Reese: It's a kind of a crappy, yucky day out today, so this'll be a nice little treat.
Dave: Yeah. This is kind of a nice little morning. Hmm. That's good.
Reese: That is a morning. Mm.
Dave: Mm-hmm.
Reese: You want a little morning? Mm.
Dave: Back at the Irish coffee?
Reese: Yep.
Dave: I [00:01:00] noticed, I, I looked in the liquor cabinet earlier,
Reese: oh, what did you, what did you notice that's might be missing from the liquor cabinet?
Dave: Yeah. My fucking Irish whiskey.
Reese: Some Irish guy came here and
Dave: This bitch and her whiskey, you can't, you can't keep it out of her mouth.
Reese: Any who?
Dave: Yeah. So I went to the liquor store today and I bought some new things. I got you your own Jim Beam.
Reese: Nice.
Dave: That you can. Hopefully we'll slow you down a little bit before you start jumping into my stuff again.
Reese: I mean, we all,
Dave: I was like, Irish whiskey would be great.
Reese: We all have things that we wish were true.
Dave: Yep. Oh, Irish coffee. That is really good. So I did a little bit of the Coole Swan. The Irish cream. Irish whiskey, little Jamison. And a little bit of brown sugar.
Reese: I saw you put a little brown sugar in there. Brown sugar. That is a,
Dave: is that how that song goes?
Reese: Very bad song by the way. It's really funny [00:02:00] to go back and listen to
Dave: really into this.
Reese: Good. Keep going.
Dave: I'm like go, go, go, go, go, go.
Reese: Um, you're gonna be passed out forward 15 minutes into this. Do you ever listen to the lyrics of Brown sugar? It's pretty bad.
Dave: Uh, only when you sing it.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Unfortunately.
Reese: Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
Dave: No. It's been a while since I've heard that song, so, I mean, I'm sure I, I have,
Reese: yeah,
Dave: listened to those lyrics, but I have not recently, and so I couldn't tell you what they were other than hit it.
Reese: Brown sugar.
Dave: Yeah, it's real good. Real good.
Reese: I mean, in case Mick Jagger, eventually I can,
Dave: I mean at some,
Reese: I can fill in
Dave: at some point.
How old is
Reese: I can fill in.
Dave: How old is, is Mick Jagger these days?
Reese: He's, he's in his eighties. He's still going. He's still still gangly.
Don't brown.
Dave: You know. Pretty amazing though. And I think it says a lot for. The arts and the artists who continue to do their work
Reese: that they
Dave: like, they are making it like
Reese: pickled themselves with the drugs and alcohol [00:03:00] I and lived forever.
Dave: Look at Keith. Keith Richards.
Reese: Keith Fucking Richards. What the fuck.
Dave: I'm sure he's gonna have some type of medical things going on, but look, he looks better now that he did when he was 20.
Reese: I don't even think he was ever 20. How about that one? I think he just was,
Dave: wow.
Reese: He's like that iconic face that. I can't even imagine if I saw a picture of him younger.
Like
Dave: yeah,
Reese: someone sent me a picture of Willie Nelson.
Dave: Oh yeah.
Reese: Clean shaven.
Dave: Oh yeah. Well you, you would never get it with the clean shaven.
Reese: I was like, who is that dude?
Dave: That's like early David Bowie too. Like when he was all like clean cut and trying to be all
Reese: so crazy,
Dave: you know? Like you thought you needed to be in the music industry at that time.
Reese: Right, right.
Dave: Emily and I watched a really, we watched Man on the Run, the documentary.
Reese: Oh, how was that?
Dave: It was really good.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: We really liked it. Emily loved it, and then she was like, so get this, and I didn't even know this existed, or maybe I did and then I forgot all about it, but. So we watched that really good.
What we really liked about it is that it was [00:04:00] using all like the old footage and, and it was using, I think it used new interviews too.
Reese: I was gonna say, was there anything new that you guys haven't seen?
Dave: Well, yeah, there was a lot of interesting things in there that like, from that side that I actually, I didn't know about.
But what I liked about it is when they did interviews with other people, like they, Mick Jagger was somebody in there talking, Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders was in there talking. They never showed those people. It was just their voiceover and they just said who it was. And it actually made it like really interesting because like, 'cause I think there was a mix of interviews from like before and now and you know how sometimes like, you know, we've had this conversation about like, okay, when you are searching for an album or you're listening to an album, it should only show you the artist from that age when they made that album.
Reese: Yes, yes.
Dave: Not the age they are now.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: 'cause it's like, whoa,
Reese: jarring.
Dave: And it, and, and contextually it actually doesn't make sense to show them now, like, you know what I mean? But
Reese: I think that was a good move for them just to use [00:05:00] the audio and not show them talking because
Dave: Yeah,
Reese: especially there's whole reason why we have this issue is because I immediately get distracted and all I can think about is what they look like.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: That's all I could think about is, oh my God, they look so old. Especially now, like you see like a lot of like famous people popping up here or there, and I'm like, oof. And then we'll be watching a show and then we're like, why is this person look familiar? It's the old version of the person we knew previously,
Dave: but also, I have to say, a lot of people looking really good.
That haven't had work done. Like, you know what I mean? It's the people that have the work done that you're like, Hmm. 'cause it gets weird to look at them.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: But the people, Nicole Kidman, there have been a lot of people that have aged really well that you're like, oh, look at him. He looks,
Reese: we said someone recently.
Dave: He looks at his age and it's amazing.
Reese: Who was it recently?
Dave: I don't know.
Reese: I forgot where we were watching.
Dave: Why? Why don't play the memory games? That's fucking bullshit.
Reese: I know. Well, that's all we do.
Dave: It's bullshit.
Reese: That's all we do these days is play memory games and we both lose,
Dave: yeah. [00:06:00]
So what I was going to say is, so we watched that and then Emily was like, 'cause Emily is a big George Harrison fan, and she was like we gotta find a, a George Harrison documentary.
And so I did some searching and apparently
Reese: I think The Simpsons did one.
Dave: There is a George Simpson, uh, George Simpson now. And so that's something different.
Reese: Remember him?
Dave: Yeah. Yeah. There's a George Harrison documentary, a two part documentary. Guess who was directed by who? Martin Scorsese.
Reese: That's wild.
Dave: Right? So
Reese: we didn't know about that.
Dave: No.
Reese: Shocking.
Dave: But I think I might've and then never really whatever followed up on it. So I sent it to Emily. I was like, all right. And she's like, yes. So maybe we'll watch that tonight while you were away.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: You were way on your, I know your journeys
Reese: well. You I loved coming home. Well, so yesterday, Fri Friday.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Today. Sunday.
Dave: Yeah. Friday.
Reese: Friday I went to Maine, , with my buddy Linda. We went to go see Our Town.
Dave: Yeah,
Reese: Thorton [00:07:00] Wilder with John Cariani. I think I'm saying is right,
Dave: Should somebody, should somebody know who that is?
Reese: Yes. He wrote the play Almost Maine, that every college and high school.
Dave: Okay.
Reese: Does.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: He was in it, he played the narrator.
Dave: Oh, okay. Interesting.
Reese: With a stage manager, however you wanna say it. Our Town is one of my favorite plays ever and I'm, I wanna direct it so bad.
Dave: Cried. Cried like a little bitch.
Reese: Let me tell you, the first time I saw this play was in New York. I was teaching at Kingsborough.
My colleague is like, we're taking the theater kids to go see Our Town at this little off. Broadway place and I was like, free show. Sign me up. I'm in. I knew of the play. I did not know anything about it. I cried from the beginning of that play to the end and, and worse at the end because it's such a brilliant, beautiful play.
So ahead of its time. The whole beginning part is all mimed. If they're cooking, cleaning, opening a window, it's all mime. There's like no props. There's nothing. It's all just [00:08:00] the, the word and the intention. It's really great. And then this theater, the second half, they actually had a working stove, so you start to smell bacon, coffee.
Dave: That's cool.
Reese: All these things. And I'm like, Ooh. I was like, that's weird that that smell is coming in from outside. I thought it was like a restaurant. It was them cooking the realities of it. And if you know the plane, if you don't, whatever, and I'm not gonna spoil it, but the end is just gut wrenching.
Dave: Mm-hmm.
Reese: And the fact that they brought that reality in and my colleague is like, stop fucking crying, like in my ear. Like, I can't, like I was, and it's, it's, it reminds me of the feeling of the way that I get for It's a Wonderful Life.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: It's the same.
Dave: I was gonna say that's probably a good, uh, yeah.
Comparison.
Reese: Yes. Comparison. And so I knew going in. I was probably gonna cry. I didn't know how the, what their take was gonna be on this version. And the one thing I forgot was tissues. I was like, I'll be okay. [00:09:00] I was not okay. I was not okay.
Dave: Lies
Reese: intermission. I grabbed a handful of tissues. We come back and it's, after intermission, they, they made act one much longer than act two, which, thank God they really had mercy on all of us. 'cause I don't know how much more we could have sat there.
Dave: Right,
Reese: the woman in front of me.
Dave: It takes an emotional toll.
Reese: No, it, it really does. And so you can hear everybody sniffling crying.
The woman in front of me, now she's crying, she's wiping her nose, wiping her nose, wiping her eyes, wiping her nose. She goes to her scarf now 'cause she doesn't have, I have a handful of tissues I just pass
Dave: used.
Reese: Can you imagine? I'd be like, here, we could share it.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Um,
Dave: only Snotted on one side.
Reese: Yeah. Just but use the other side.
Flip it over, turn it inside out. So I hand it to her, a couple of them and she's like, thank you.
Dave: Yeah. Yeah.
Reese: And then after it was over standing ovation, she turns around, she's like, you are so kind.
Dave: B-Y-O-T.
Reese: Yeah. Um, she's like, you are so kind. I'm like. Dude, I get it. Like I get it. And it was, it's just such a [00:10:00] beautiful commentary of the way life was.
It was so simple.
Dave: Mm-hmm.
Reese: And everybody just looked out for everybody. It was just, I don't know. And then Linda and I had a wholesome day in, in Maine. It was so much fun.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Thrifting and whatever. And then we got home and I walk in. And my candle warmer light is still on. There's open alcohol containers, glass beer, all the glasses everywhere.
I'm like, who had a party over here? Yeah. I'm like, what is going on? And then you were like, you and Emily had,
Dave: Emily and I, we watched
Reese: a bonding day.
Dave: We watched that movie and then we were like, let's go play some games
Reese: I love that
Dave: we played. So we used her, she had her Beatles cards, her playing cards. And so we used the Beatles cards.
We played some rummy.
Reese: I love that.
Dave: Rummy 500. And then we played some Abducktion. And we had, I had a craving for a sour beer.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And so I went out to McKinnon's.
Reese: Mm-hmm.
Dave: And I grabbed a couple, they had a couple of sours. So I got two, two sours. Then I got some mango cart just in case the, I have to say the peach one.
Phenomenal.
Reese: Yeah,
Dave: the [00:11:00] Emily liked the raspberry lime one, but I thought the peach one was better,
Reese: which is the one that I tried last night because that was pretty good.
Dave: That was peach one. Yeah. I love sour beers.
Reese: I'm not a sour.
Dave: Yeah, I love them.
Reese: But that was pretty good
Dave: and that was delish and so
Reese: like how great is it now that we're at the point,
Dave: I know
Reese: that we just hang out with them and they wanna hang out with us.
Dave: So I got some sliders,
Reese: so happy.
Dave: So we had, I made some sliders that were delish as well, so we had a couple of those
Reese: also. God bless you for getting sliders because I needed them the next day.
Dave: I know those were good. Yeah. Yeah. Those were good. So, yeah, and so we came in here and so what we decided to do was, because a lot of the man on the run was about obviously Paul's journey, and they, they were talking about the first album and they were talking about how the John Lennon had an album and then like everybody else.
And so we're like, let's listen. We made a playlist of like. Each of their first albums. And then we shuffled that and we're listening. And then it was funny, we were like, oh, this one, this one, and again, Emily loves all the George Harrison songs, but we're like, oh yeah, that's good. And then some of Paul's are very experimental and we're like, okay, we're gonna pass in that one.
And then John's a great,
Reese: Poor Ringo. [00:12:00]
Dave: And then, then Ringo would come on. And Ringo does a lot of like standards, right? Like he does a lot of like older songs and like, but like every time a Ringo song would come on, we'd be like, ah. Ringo. Like there he is. And then I was like, but I was like, speaking of being older, uh, new music Friday.
It was the same day, and I actually listened to a new Ringo song that came on that I was like, oh, this is actually pretty good. And I actually think, think
Reese: I didn't know he was still making music.
Dave: Yeah, no, he's still touring and everything and he, and I believe for the first time, he and Paul McCartney have a, a, a.
Collaboration on his new album.
Reese: Awesome.
Dave: That's coming out, which I'm excited about.
Reese: I would go see Ringo.
Dave: He's still making great music. I don't know if I'd wanna see Ringo
Reese: I feel like,
Dave: because it's very, it's,
Reese: they're the only two left.
Dave: Yeah. Well, yeah.
Reese: So let's go experience some Ringo.
Dave: I guess so.
I mean, it'd be fun, I guess.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: But yeah, he's definitely not our musical style. He's got his own thing going on.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And we were talking about how. Here's the thing with Ringo is that when it was with the Beatles, it was like, oh [00:13:00] fun a a a Ringo song because it was fun in the mix. Yeah. But it's like when it's all Ringo songs, you're like, oh,
Reese: it's a little bit too much.
Dave: Oh boy. There's a lot of Ringo.
Reese: She get that on a shirt.
Dave: Yeah. That's a little too much Ringo for me.
Reese: You can't have too much Ringo.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Cannot have too much Ringo. But
Dave: so yeah. So, okay. The disappointing part of yesterday. We went out, it was Record Store Day 2026. Woo.
Reese: Oh no. It sucked.
Dave: Yeah, well.
Reese: I hated it actually.
Dave: It sucked. Uh, so I'll, let me talk about what we got and then you can talk about what we didn't get. So I ended up getting, uh, there was a live Jeff Buckley album, which I'm excited about. There was a, as a goof, there was a live Ramones album that looked pretty good. So I got that. And then I also got.
Extra Texture. Uh, George Harrison album was coming. Oh, we gotta get that
Reese: so happy we're able to get that for Emily. Yeah.
Dave: Yeah. And so, so we got those. I, I wanted to get, there was like a Wolf Alice and a Tom Petty that they didn't have that I wanted to get. So I'll look into those later. I almost bit the bullet on a, they had [00:14:00] a.
Grateful Dead in Boston. Like an older,
Reese: I would've loved that. I would've would loved the Blur, but they were both over a hundred and something dollars.
Dave: Yeah. I was like, I didn't really wanna spend that money on that, so I didn't do that. And then the big wamp wamp
Reese: if I had thought, 'cause now we've been doing, we've been doing Record Store Day, I think since we moved here and we found out it is a thing.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: For many years, we just get up at a, not at the crack of dawn, but like early enough and go softer.
Dave: And luckily you got up at some point because you forgot all about it.
Reese: I, well, 'cause I But
Dave: you were all like,
Reese: well, I came home last, uh, the night before.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: From driving all the way back from Maine and I meant to put an alarm to wake myself up, completely forgot.
Woke up at like eight something and I was like. You sent me, oh, is this a record that you wanted? I was like, oh my God. I completely forgot. It was like eight 30. Yeah. I was like, let's get dressed and just go straight to like Bull [00:15:00] Moose. We went to first because, sorry, Jesus banging shit around Jesus. Uh, the Bailey's kicked in.
I'm like, well, I, Newbury comics wasn't open, so we go to Bull Moose.
Dave: Well, it was,
Reese: and I had high hopes
Dave: apparently.
Reese: It was apparently,
Dave: yeah, they both opened early on Record Store Day.
Reese: did not now,
Dave: Now you know,
Reese: looked at both.
Dave: They were both open at eight,
Reese: looked at both websites.
Dave: So
Reese: did not see that. That said that.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Otherwise I would've been like, well let's just go to Newbury 'cause it's closer. No idea. So we get to Bullmoose. There is a fricking line, I'm already gutted 'cause I'm like, this isn't gonna be good. We wait on the line, waiting on the line. I'm like, you know what? I'm gonna manifest it. It's gonna be okay.
But in the back of my head, I'm like.
Dave: Not, not there.
Reese: I don't think it's gonna happen. So Weezer came out with a 1192. It's basically cuts from the making of the Blue Album album,
Dave: the Blue album. And so it's like the
Reese: so tracks of them
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: In the recording studio that some of the never been heard.
Dave: So did you see what I sent you by the [00:16:00] way?
I sent you somebody got the album
Reese: Yes. And put it on
Dave: and put it on YouTube.
Reese: So I haven't listened to it
Dave: and it sounds pretty good.
Reese: I know. I want the record.
Dave: Well, of course, of course. You want the record, but
Reese: I wanna it on the record.
Dave: I'm just saying, I'm just saying like he did a good transfer of high quality that Yeah, like you can actually hear the songs.
I'm not a big fan of, I'm actually not a big fan of like, those, like in the studio raw things because like, well for one, like they're not properly mixed, one. Two. I mean, those are the songs that didn't make the album. And guess what? There's a reason why they didn't make the album usually.
Reese: And so, but if you really like a band, it's interesting.
Dave: No,
Reese: to hear their, their process
Dave: true, true. But I would rather just like, I don't want to, like, I would never go back to it, right? Like in terms of a record. Right. Typically. And what drives me crazy about what happens now on Spotify, for example, sometimes I just wanna listen to. The record. Mm. Meaning I just make up an album.
Whatever your favorite album is, I want to [00:17:00] go listen to that album. But then if they release like a deluxe version that's been remastered and blah, blah, I don't mind the remastering. That's fine. You can't just listen to the album because then they take the album off and then they give you the re the deluxe edition.
Reese: Right.
Dave: That has all this extra bullshit on that. I'm like, no, I just wanna hear what the original album sounded like. And that's what I wanna listen to.
Reese: That's why records are amazing because you have that
Dave: or any physical media. Right. But like,
Reese: but yeah, I get that.
Dave: Yeah. And so, but that's the one my one qualm with, uh, Spotify.
Is that like,
Reese: but this
Dave: was this, leave the original one.
Reese: This, that's what one was a was a big deal in the. Weezer fan C club community, like everybody was like, oh my God. And I'm like, this is wild. Normally I don't get all like,
Dave: I love that you have your Van Weezer shirt on right now.
Reese: I, well, I did that on purpose.
I'm still in mourning.
Dave: You have?
Reese: I am in mourning.
Dave: It is morning. So am I.
Reese: And I'm in mourning. I'm in mourning. In the morning. Yeah. So, uh, so yeah. So there was a guy, like they were letting people in, a couple people at a time.
Dave: Yeah. It wasn't bad actually.
Reese: [00:18:00] Understandable. It wasn't great. It wasn't ideal because then it was like shitty weather and it was cold.
Dave: It was definitely cold.
Reese: Then you go to listen. It was a whole thing. Then you go to Market Basket to go get us some coffee.
Dave: This Market Basket did not have coffee.
Reese: How? Like what's,
Dave: how do you, they have like a bakery and like a hot food and I was like, is there some place to get hot coffee? And the guy was like, no.
I'm like, that seems very strange to me.
Reese: Very strange.
Dave: 'Cause we wanted to go to coffee while we was stand in line. And of course they had free coffee and donuts inside.
Reese: Right. That's not helpful line. That would, that would've been nice if would've done something about that. But listen, they were doing the bare minimal.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: They didn't have to do more than that.
Dave: They were fine.
Reese: But the guy at the door was just like, I, you know, when we finally got to like the front, I was like, all right, what are my chances of,
Dave: yeah,
Reese: getting the Weezer, he is like, I think there's a couple in there. Liar.
Dave: Well, no, he probably saw them, what he was saying is they see 'em when they put them out.
Right. So like, I saw a couple of them. He doesn't know if they're left, obviously. So
Reese: that's, but I phrased it. Are there any left?
Dave: Can we please talk about phrasing things?
Reese: Okay, hold on. I didn't get there yet.
Dave: Okay. Finish this. Okay. Yeah. [00:19:00]
Reese: I think also he said, I know and you don't think I laid in bed thinking about that like I am.
I don't know what's wrong. I do know what's wrong with me. It's fine.
Dave: Okay. Just finish your story.
Reese: Okay. But I think like if he had said now I think all the Weezer is gone, we would've got off the line and bring the chances of us maybe purchasing other stuff. So I think they just said like, yeah, just tell him that's in there, because then we go in, not only.
Where there are no albums. But then he was like, oh, you can go to the register.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: And order one from another store. And then they can send it at like five o'clock or the, they can let you know where there's another one. 'cause we did that last year for something.
Dave: But they were sold out. They were all sold out.
Reese: Sold out.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Whatever. Everything's a ploy, a trick, a tactic, doesn't matter. Jaded, pissed off. So we're like, all right, maybe we'll go to Newbury Comics, who I thought opened at 10.
Dave: Mm-hmm.
Reese: Call them up. And first of all, I'm not good on the phone anyway.
Dave: So I say to you, I was like do you want to go to [00:20:00] Newbury?
And you're like, I guess. I'm like, well, why don't you call them and see if they have it that way? We and you're like, okay. And so you call them. I'm like, okay, great.
Reese: And they, so here's the thing, and no, no disrespect to the people at New Newbury Comics, and I won't say the location, but y'all are rude.
And they think they are like, oh, the comic bookstore, they're like the character from the Simpsons, like, yeah. Calm down.
Dave: Yeah, too cool for school,
Reese: Too cool for school. So I call up and immediate is like, hello? Like already nasty. And I'm like, okay, I'm already upset and I'm whatever. So I'm like, Hey. So the only thing that came outta my mouth was how's the, is any lines there?
Record Story Day, whatever
Dave: you said. You said, how's the line looking? And then whatever transpired on the other, and you're like, okay.
Reese: Yep. No,
Dave: and then you hung up
Reese: and I hung up and didn't proceed to answer because they said, and I quote, we've been open since eight [00:21:00] o'clock.
Dave: Yeah,
Reese: it is now regular store hours, so that is not anything anymore.
Dave: Right.
Reese: And I was like, you know what? I'm not gonna even bother asking that question because. Apparently they're not gonna, they're it's not gonna be there. It's not gonna be there.
Dave: It's just cracking up.
Reese: So why am I gonna ask? And they're gonna say something shitty to me, and then I'm gonna get,
Dave: I guess so
Reese: in, in even more of a bad mood,
Dave: I guess so.
Reese: So I just hung up because I was mad and I didn't wanna ask further 'cause I didn't know how they were gonna phrase it. What were they, they were gonna say? Say,
Dave: if you only just ask the, the, the real question first.
Reese: No,
Dave: it was hilarious. I was like,
Reese: no.
Dave: The whole point was to find out if they had the Weezer album, so we would go or not go.
Reese: But what made me laugh the most is you roasted me the whole way.
Dave: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Reese: We wound up going there anyway.
Dave: I was like,
Reese: and your best one was,
Dave: Well, the first one I'll do is was, uh, hi, it's me. What, how's the line looking like? Like what? What? And then, yeah, I was like, is your refrigerator running?
Like, like you called for no reason. Oh my. Except there was a very specific purpose to
Reese: is your refrigerator running? Uh, [00:22:00] done.
Dave: Oh God.
Reese: And then we got there and then of course like I walk in ahead of you and I'm like looking around and I don't even know where like the display, anything. They had it up against the wall where you'll miss it.
And of course I missed it.
Dave: Yeah, they did a very poor
Reese: Yep.
Dave: Job.
Reese: Sure did. And so came in and obviously that wasn't there and it was just. I was so bummed out. You know, yeah, you can't always get what you want. It's fine.
Dave: It's true. Bringing it back to Mick Jagger,
Reese: but sometimes you get what you need.
Dave: Yeah, sometimes,
Reese: which is some, Bailey's.
Dave: Irish coffee.
Reese: Uh, no. And then we, I did, I actually, I was super sad. Came home,
Dave: depressed all day.
Reese: But you made us, um, I get cheered up every once in, in a while.
Dave: I made us the rest of the sliders.
Reese: You made the sliders, which
Dave: gave you a cookie.
Reese: You gave me a cookie. It was really like, very wholesome. I was like okay
We had potato chips, take chips.It
Dave: was, it was a beautiful day
Reese: Then Emily. Emily went, she was going to Target and she's like, can I get you anything? Because she also felt bad. So she brought, I said, no, it's fine. But she brought me gummy bears,
Dave: some gummies,
Reese: some Haribos, and I'm like, thank you. And then Jonnie [00:23:00] sends me a text.
Dave: Oh, funny. Yeah.
Reese: And she's like, I meant to send this to you last night, but I'll send it to you now.
And she went out to a Red Sox game and then they went to a bar crawl.
Dave: So Jonnie's all out in her senior activities?
Reese: Yes.
Dave: Because like, you know, she's,
Reese: she didn't get to,
Dave: she's done
Reese: do any of that. Right?
And so she's doing
Dave: This. So they went to a Fenway game Red Sox game last night and then they did a par bar crawl, bar crawl.
And so, and then I got, you got this video. I got butt dialed at some point. Yeah. Yeah. It was pretty funny.
Reese: It was amazing.
Dave: I don't even think she knows. She butt dialed me. I'll have to tell her.
Reese: Yeah, she definitely. Didn't know, but she sent me a video of her singing at the bar Africa.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: And then the person, her friend that she was with was also singing.
And then my favorite part of the video is, this is my mom's favorite song to the girl. And I was like, I was like, you know what? I was having a bad day. And that actually. That made me feel better. Yeah. So ups and downs. It is what it is.
But,
Dave: so my suggestion is gonna be this, I think we're gonna finish recording this.
Reese: Mm-hmm.
Dave: I think we should [00:24:00] then have, make some breakfast and go sit in here and listen to some of these new records we got. I, I think that'll be fun.
Reese: That's a great idea.
Dave: So you have to, you have to leave us
Reese: then I have to go to rehearsal. I'm almost at the, at the finish line. I was looking at the, uh, calendar today.
Um, I'm about a week, two weeks,
Dave: yeah.
Reese: Before opening of my show.
Dave: Oh boy,
Reese: which, uh,
Dave: I ran lines with you last night.
Reese: Oh, that was fun.
Dave: It's a doozy.
Reese: That was doozy. You reading the lines and then you started to like, try to get, you're like, which character am I?
Dave: I was like,
Reese: there's, there's five of 'em on one index cards.
Dave: I know. I'm like, uh,
Reese: I write flashcards. 'cause I feel like that helps me.
Dave: And I just flash.
Reese: And then Dave, just flash. You did the wrong, you did not pick up what I was putting down
Dave: just to see if I can throw you off. Yeah, your, your line learning.
Reese: Yeah. Awesome. Good job.
Dave: You're welcome.
Reese: So helpful.
Dave: So we're gonna do some Hypertheticals again.
Thank you, Mr. Chuck Klosterman. I, I feel like, I don't think we've done these, but I feel like I've seen them before. I think these might be the, some of the examples that were on the box. Mm-hmm. But I don't know. So here are our options today, and if they feel like we've done [00:25:00] them, let me know. But The Dream VCR.
Right up our alley. 'cause again, what have we been talking about with Jonnie? Very much dreams.
Reese: Oh yeah. That's been her, she's been
Dave: The Dream VCR.
Reese: She's been freaking out about having very realistic dreams.
Dave: Yeah. Who She just started a job, which is great. So anyway, the next one is A Life In Film.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: And the last one, Shaquille in the Shower.
Reese: Oh.
Dave: Choose your poison.
Reese: I do wanna preface that. I think we did the VCR one.
Dave: Do you think so
Reese: read the premise
Dave: at long last, someone invents the Dream VCR. This machine allows you to tape an entire evening's worth of your own dreams, which you can watch at your leisure. However, the inventor of the dream VCR will only allow you to use this device if you agree to a strange caveat.
When you watch your dreams, you must do so with your family and [00:26:00] your closest friends in the same room. Did we read this?
Reese: I think we did.
Dave: We might have, but let's Let's do it anyway.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: They get to watch your dreams along with you, and if you don't agree to this, you can't use the dream. VCR. Would you still do this?
I mean, I think so.
Reese: I'm gonna say no because I don't.
Dave: No. '
Reese: cause I don't want you guys. In my dream world, it is not for the faint of heart.
Dave: It's no one, no one should go in there.
Reese: My dreams
Dave: not even, you
Reese: are so whacked that I would feel bad if I had you see them. And honestly. For the exception of every once in a while, my parents or my grandparents will pop into my dream.
For the exception of that. I would like to see that, but for the most part, I don't wanna re-see my dreams. They're not great. I. They're not great. I never have a good time.
Dave: Well, it'd be, it'd be interesting. Never a good [00:27:00] time. Yep. So it'd be interest. Yeah. I mean, I would be interested to see them.
Reese: Well, because you
Dave: I'm trying to think,
Reese: you don't really remember them as vividly as, as I do.
Dave: Well, I do sometimes, but like, and then I'm trying to think, I'm like, is there ever anything racy? I'm like, sometimes, but not really.
Reese: Oh, yeah, I've,
Dave: yeah,
Reese: that's happened.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: And it's
Dave: then I'm like,
Reese: you guys don't need to see that either.
Dave: Well, no, but I guess, I don't know. Yeah. I mean,
Reese: you know what I mean? Like if it was just you, maybe
Dave: honestly. I don't think I've had any dreams that I care that much, that I'm like, I have to see that. But I'm always kind of like,
Reese: it's always me trying to find a bathroom that works. Do you wanna see that? I don't think anybody wants to see that.
Dave: That's, that's, that's, that's really, really not a dream. That's your, your whole life.
Reese: That is really my whole life. Well, someone had said that your dream world is the real world, and this world is the dream world.
Dave: Is the dream world. Whoa,
Reese: whoa.
Dave: All right. You ready?
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Number two, you all, you choose A Life In Film or Shaquille [00:28:00] in the Shower.
Reese: Oh, Shaquille in the Shower,
Dave: Alright, Shaquille?
Reese: That might've, that could've been one of the dreams I've had.
Dave: I bet you come home from an afternoon of shopping. Sounds right. So far expecting. The residence to be empty. However, upon entering your front door, you immediately sense that something is strange. The entire place smells like marijuana. And roses still nothing strange yet.
Reese: No, nothing.
Dave: There is a briefcase sitting in the middle of your living room floor filled with diamonds and Christmas cookies.
Reese: Oh God, I love this. So far
Dave: you can hear the shower running. This is definitely a dream of yours.
Reese: Yeah. Yeah.
Dave: You can hear the shower running and when you open the door to the bathroom, you realize that the man using the shower is basketball legend. Shaquille O'Neill.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: A naked Shaq peers at you from behind the shower curtain and smiles enthusiastically, but says nothing.
Reese: He's doing this.
Dave: Yep. He then returns to washing himself. When you ask O'Neill [00:29:00] what he is doing in your home, he simply says, I don't remember. Do you call the police?
Reese: Absolutely not.
Dave: No.
Reese: Is that the question?
Dave: Yeah. Do you call the police?
Reese: No. I would take care of him. I would be like, what do we do with these Christmas cookies and diamonds, Shaq?
Dave: I'd be like, order us some of that thin crust Dominoes.
Reese: Let's go. And then we'd be like,
Dave: I'm gonna go hang out with your briefcase.
Reese: Oh my God. That would be, that would be a dream of dream. I would love that. Of all people too. I'll And then I think Shaq in my shower.
Dave: I then I think together, we would figure out if we need to.
Okay.
Reese: Maybe he needs medical attention.
Dave: Lemme just tell you something about our shower.
Reese: Oh.
Dave: I think we need to move some of these things that we have hanging on the walls because like, they're,
Reese: are you,
Dave: they're
Reese: like a bull in a China shop every time.
Dave: Everywhere. Everywhere that where I'm gonna hit them is where they are right now.
And I think we just need to move them to the front
Reese: Sure.
Dave: Instead of to the side. But anyway.
Reese: Right.
Dave: I digress.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: That to say I'm a diminutive type of person. Shaquille O'Neal is not. [00:30:00]
Reese: He wouldn't do well in there.
Dave: That would be pandemonium.
Reese: We'd immediately see him the second you walk in.
Dave: We'd we,
Reese: he'd be right.
Dave: Everything would be everywhere.
Reese: He'd be above the bar.
Dave: Yeah. So I think we would let Shaquille go about his business
Reese: there. There's probably,
Dave: and we together, we would find out, do we need to call the police, Mr. O'Neal?
Reese: Honestly, I would take care of him. If he was having dementia. I'd be like, you can stay with us, Shaq.
We got you. I would take care of him and his diamonds and his Christmas cookies
Dave: and his marijuana.
Reese: Yep. That's fine. Maybe that's why he didn't know he was there. I'd be like, maybe, let me try some and we could figure it out.
Dave: Yeah. All right. Last one. A Life In Film.
For whatever reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life.
Reese: Oh Jesus
Dave: unauthorized movies about your life.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Wow. The duds in the, at the theater. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from your actual life.
Now, this I would like to see what did they get? Critics are describing the [00:31:00] documentary as brutally honest and relentlessly fair.
Reese: Oh.
Dave: All right. I like that so far. Meanwhile, Columbia Tristar has produced a big budget biopic of your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you
Reese: obviously,
Dave: and all of your acquaintances.
Reese: Oh, we have to. We have to. Yes.
Dave: We'll get to casting in a second though. The movie is based on actual events. Screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it. Which film would you be more interested in seeing?
Ooh, I, well, I wanna see both of them, right? I have choose,
Reese: I know I wanna see both of them because
Dave: God dammit,
Reese: I wanna see what liberties they're taking, but also the raw footage would be, yeah,
Dave: I mean, so it, it sounds like the documentary itself is good, so I would love to see that and just to see how that is portrayed.
But then, you know, there's fun in saying who, who are the Hollywood people that [00:32:00] are playing the people in your life? Right? So let's think about it. So obviously,
obviously
Marissa Torme is gonna play you, but we have to think about, is this,
Reese: is she married to Mel Torme?
Dave: I did I say Torme? You. Tome you what?
I absolutely did. Sorry. So sorry, Marissa. I apologize.
Reese: I know you better write her a letter.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Who would play you?
Dave: Yeah, that's what I'm asking.
Reese: Josh Brolin.
Dave: Interesting.
Reese: You look a little Josh Liny.
Dave: You think so?
Reese: Yeah. I mean, I think he could do it.
Dave: I think if, if Jack Black could lose 30 pounds. 40 pounds also that maybe 50 pounds Jack Black these days.
Then I think,
Reese: oh, he just called you Fat Jack Black.
Dave: Well, he's a big guy.
Reese: He's a big guy.
Dave: But we kind of look similar though.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Especially with the beard and like the,
Reese: but I was trying to like yeah, I was trying to hype you up a little.
Dave: Thanks
Reese: Josh Brolin.
Dave: Thanks. Well then, you know, I don't know.
Yeah. Maybe
Reese: Who would play the girls? Olson twins.
Dave: Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah. Mary Kate and Ashley. Well, would, do you think they would do, would they [00:33:00] get twins or would they just get someone playing dual roles?
Reese: Oh,
Dave: like, like, like what's his face in Sinners?
Reese: Ooh. Maybe Michael B. Jordan can do it again.
Dave: Yes. And play the girls. And play the girls. That would be interesting.
Reese: That would be, he would definitely.
Dave: This is where they've taken some liberties. The girls,
Reese: that would be any other movie
Dave: because they saw Jonnie.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: They thought it were two boys.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: Jonnie and Em.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And M was for Michael.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: And so they, you got Michael B. Jordan to reprise his twin acting
Reese: there you go. That would be the liberty. Okay. Who would, who would they, who would they do to take liberties?
Dave: What about the cats? Who would they cast as the cats?
Reese: Oh, cats.
Dave: What famous cats would be our cats
Reese: Grumpy Cat would play Peppah.
Dave: And I mean, I feel like
Reese: Garfield would play like Gar
Dave: Garfield's smarter than
Reese: very smart
Dave: Magic.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: So, I don't know. We need a dumb cat.
Reese: I was gonna say Heathcliff, but also Heathcliff was pretty smart. What's a dumb cat?
Dave: I don't know.
Reese: There's no dumb cats.
Dave: I don't know if there's such a thing. Magic is it.
Reese: Except for Magic.
Dave: He's in a league of his own
Reese: Poor magic.
Dave: Okay, [00:34:00] so now do we expand this to the immediate friend group?
Who would play those people?
Reese: Yeah. Let's, okay, lets go. Let's start with Miranda and Erik.
Dave: Okay. I don't know. If you're listening, you've gotta play along.
Reese: Yes.
Dave: And if, if you have the person,
Reese: yes.
Dave: You've gotta let us know who you think would play you in the movie. I don't know.
Reese: I think Woody Harrelson.
Dave: Woody Harrelson,
Reese: Would play Erik.
Dave: Okay. I like that.
Reese: And,
Dave: and who would play Miranda? Who's Miranda?
Reese: What's her face? Come on.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: Uh, Julia, Julie
Dave: Garner.
Reese: No.
Dave: No. I dunno.
Reese: This is also a terrible game for us to play. Yes. 'cause we never know any celebrity's names, like ever.
Intro Music: The one from the What's her face? From, what's the thing
Reese: with the red hair? And she was in The Big Lebowski and she was in
Dave: Oh, Juliana Moore.
Reese: Julie.
Dave: Julian. Julie.
Reese: Julian Moore.
Dave: Julianne Moore.
Reese: It's my favorite part.
Dave: Mel Torme.
Reese: Yes. Mel Torme's daughter
Dave: would play Mundo
Reese: Marissa.
Dave: Imagine.
Reese: Yeah.
Dave: Okay.
Reese: Right.
Dave: Yeah. Okay.
Reese: Julia Moore.
Dave: Sure. Why not? Sharon and Paul.
Reese: Okay. Sharon and Paul.
Okay. Uh, ooh. Ooh. [00:35:00] Okay. Oh my God. Who, who would play Sharon and Paul? Sharon would have to be played by.
Dave: Yeah.
Reese: I really hate my brain, not the age. But the range that she can play her. Okay, like the feistiness and the sassiness, oh would be steak. Where's my steak? Come on. Come on. Devil Wears Prada.
Dave: Glen Close,
Reese: let no,
Dave: no. Yeah. Meryl Streep.
Reese: Yes. Glen Close was in Devil Wears Prada.
Dave: I don't know. I didn't, I never wore Prada.
Reese: Oh, okay. So that we've deduced that you're not the devil. All right. So that, who would play? Paul? Well, Do you agree? Why not?
Dave: I can't think of anybody. Sure.
Reese: Uh, who would play Paul,
Dave: who would play Paul?
Also playing Paul Woody Harrelson. Everyone's bald, so[00:36:00]
Reese: perfect. Who would play Ed?
Dave: Actually, so I was gonna go back, I'm gonna go back.
Reese: I got one.
Dave: I'm, I'm gonna go back to Paul.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: And I'm gonna say Bradley Cooper, but bald.
Reese: Okay.
Dave: Could play Paul.
Reese: Okay. But Paul's like silly.
Dave: Yeah. Fucking Bradley Cooper played Rocky Raccoon or whatever the fuck.
Reese: Rocky raccoon.
Dave: Rocket Raccoon.
Reese: Rocket raccoon. Rocket raccoon. Not racket. Rocket.
Dave: Anyway, Mel Torme. I'm gonna keep saying Mel Torme
Reese: Marissa Torme.
Dave: Tore me a new one.
Reese: Ed.
Dave: Ed. Who? You got?
Reese: Michael Shannon.
Dave: Yeah, I could see that, right? I could see that.
Reese: That would be good. And who would play Mundo?
Dave: Who would play Mundo?
Reese: We need to pick a Disney character.
Dave: This is a yes. All right. Who in Disney characters. That would be hilarious. This film, this is where they take more liberties. Mundo [00:37:00] is played by an animated character.
Reese: It would be, oh, it would be what's his face from Frozen.
Dave: Yeah, I don't know. Frozen very well.
Reese: Um, Sven.
Dave: Sure. All right.
Reese: I'm just sweating
Dave: once, once, once the people who know us who listen to this have to send us their,
Reese: some suggestions that would,
Dave: suggestions for what this will be, but that was fun.
Reese: Yeah.
Who would play Sarah, by the way? We need a Sarah.
