Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard XX
[0] He's an object.
[1] Welcome to Christmas.
[2] Your toys are out.
[3] Not to find them.
[4] Oh, wow.
[5] Quick update before we get into Christmas.
[6] Feedback from, I guess, the last episode.
[7] Uh -huh.
[8] Middle part is a hit.
[9] Comments are full of praise for your middle part.
[10] Wow.
[11] Yes, resounding.
[12] Maybe it was that one pick.
[13] It was a good pick.
[14] No, I think the America has voted.
[15] Yeah, picks only do so much.
[16] Yeah, I mean, I don't even tell the whole story.
[17] I mean, they're worth a thousand words.
[18] Yeah, that's what they say.
[19] But additionally, people really like Hermium Permium.
[20] Oh, I mean, duh.
[21] Who couldn't like him?
[22] He's so nice.
[23] Someone even wrote, I didn't previously like the robot, but now that I've heard the robot interact with Hermium Permitome, I do like the robot.
[24] And then I read a really funny one.
[25] Let's see.
[26] I screen grabbed it for us.
[27] It's also really funny because Hermium Permium.
[28] Yeah.
[29] I kind of tried to correct you in it, but I stopped myself.
[30] But it's Hermian Permian.
[31] I know my name is Hermian Permian.
[32] What are you saying?
[33] Oh, my God.
[34] Is that my parents got it wrong?
[35] Because they didn't.
[36] Hermium, Permium, named after my Uncle Albert Hermium Permian.
[37] Did you ever hear him?
[38] Okay.
[39] He invented paper airplanes.
[40] You ever saw on a paper airplane?
[41] They sails through that sky.
[42] How old is he?
[43] I'd rather not save my age.
[44] I'm vain that way.
[45] But I'm a safe person.
[46] Let's just say I was not born in the 2000.
[47] Is that sufficient to wet your appetite and slake your lust?
[48] Sure.
[49] Oh, no, I don't want him to say that.
[50] Slake your lust.
[51] Well, that's a literary term.
[52] That's not a pervy term.
[53] I know, but he just would never say lust.
[54] You're probably right.
[55] Okay, here's the thing I found.
[56] Please don't refrain from doing, I guess, alien or robot voice.
[57] It's like when Howard does impressions of his dad.
[58] You just want him to do it for like an hour.
[59] And Monica, please continue to be annoyed by it.
[60] That's fun too.
[61] I like when it goes both ways.
[62] I'm reading it and I'm like, oh, yes, this is the encouragement I needed.
[63] And then I'm like, oh, and then they also enjoy that Monica's annoyed.
[64] Best case scenario.
[65] Oh, man. Oh, boy.
[66] You just flew in from Georgia, and did you see anything in the sky?
[67] I did.
[68] I passed a little red guy.
[69] You did?
[70] Yeah, he's just doing his practice route.
[71] Uh -huh.
[72] You have to do some dry runs before the big day.
[73] You got to do dry runs before you can do the wet run with the snow.
[74] That's right.
[75] That's right.
[76] That's right.
[77] How was your travels?
[78] It was fine early.
[79] Uh -huh.
[80] I went home for a very quick trip.
[81] It's Friday, and I left Wednesday morning to go to Atlanta.
[82] Right.
[83] Really speedy round trip.
[84] Yeah, I came back this morning.
[85] You must have woken up very, very early.
[86] I did.
[87] What time?
[88] I woke up at 545 East Coast time.
[89] Which is 245 Pacific Standard Time.
[90] Correct.
[91] And so I went home to visit.
[92] Ooh, what happened?
[93] Oh, nothing.
[94] I was just talking about it.
[95] Is there a gunk in there?
[96] No, well, of course there is.
[97] Oh.
[98] One time on synced the other day, I thought there was, I got a little nervous there was some dip in my cup.
[99] Oh, okay.
[100] So I rinsed it out.
[101] Yeah.
[102] Just in case.
[103] Yeah, there wasn't, though.
[104] It was probably, I mean, there was Debris that looked like dip.
[105] It was probably tea.
[106] Good news.
[107] I have scheduled a deep clean for this joint.
[108] Awesome.
[109] Yeah.
[110] While we're gone this week.
[111] During the break.
[112] Oh, no. Oh, I got a. The quilt is in there.
[113] I need to bring it in.
[114] Oh, the quilt that was from Flightless.
[115] Yeah.
[116] It's really nice.
[117] Is it gorgie?
[118] Boy, we are out of linear space here.
[119] I think we can draping on the couch.
[120] Oh, okay.
[121] That would be great.
[122] Or maybe on that slant over there.
[123] Is there enough real estate in there to pin it to the wall?
[124] But then it's cloth.
[125] So then would poop particles get in the cloth?
[126] Presumably, yeah.
[127] That's my worry.
[128] Yeah.
[129] Assuming someone putty's in there.
[130] You.
[131] I wanted to say I don't, but I do.
[132] When I'm up here writing all day, yeah, sometimes I have to go.
[133] I've done it.
[134] You have.
[135] Yeah.
[136] September 14th.
[137] No, but what was the circumstance?
[138] You were.
[139] Like if I knew I was going to be here by myself for hours.
[140] Yeah.
[141] Well, that's the part that's interesting.
[142] Yeah, like if I was in, if I, like, recorded and then I was going to stay and edit, there's, I've been in here lots of times.
[143] Do you lock the door when you, yeah, of course.
[144] Of course, just in case.
[145] And do you open the window?
[146] Out to the street?
[147] Yeah.
[148] Like seven candles?
[149] It's like a seance.
[150] And I do matches.
[151] I do it all just in case.
[152] To be clear, I've only done it a couple times.
[153] Probably twice.
[154] I'm happy.
[155] Rob, have you shit in here?
[156] No, I don't think so.
[157] Anyways, that's not what the holidays are about.
[158] Well, that's, I was saying an important part of my week.
[159] Oh, tell me. Well, I was home.
[160] Yes.
[161] And I had to go visit my grandpa because I was going to try to wait until I was going to home for the holidays, but then it felt like I needed to go.
[162] So I did, and I missed two recordings, which was sad.
[163] Yes.
[164] And I really don't like doing that, but I had to.
[165] Yes, of course.
[166] And it was sad.
[167] It's sad.
[168] Yeah.
[169] Yeah, but you got to give some sweet granddaddy kisses?
[170] Yeah, I did.
[171] Yeah.
[172] I did.
[173] Did you have any fun with your mom?
[174] Yeah, we watched Bad Surgeon.
[175] Uh -huh.
[176] I loved it.
[177] Did you love it?
[178] Yeah, it's just so...
[179] It's almost incomprehensible that he was the head of a department at the most prestigious hospital in the world.
[180] It was in Copenhagen and Denmark, Sweden, in Stockholm.
[181] Yeah, the place where they give out the Nobel Prize for Medicine, like, be truly the most prestigious.
[182] Yes, there's so many elements of it worth examining.
[183] One just being the power of status.
[184] If you're there and you have that type of.
[185] people are going to trust you to do anything I know myself included me too yeah it scared me about how willy -nilly and then I was even thinking right because as we know I had a botched toe surgery and then here's what I thought like I just had that botched toe surgery and I thought well that was probably a one -off I didn't go on a message board and find out if like it is conceivable that every surgery that that podiatrist or whatever the fuck sure surgical podiatrist is called maybe everyone has a half a toe now maybe you know i just assume it's my fault that he cut off too much of my toe yeah without giving away too much but it's also obvious based on the title yeah he's not a good surgeon no this surgeon conned a bunch of people and killed a bunch of people yeah everyone that he did the procedure on yes died except one and they didn't even they had it they had it taken out so we can't do any spoilers fuck because i want to talk about then the third episode is insane here's what i was thinking.
[186] Yeah.
[187] How on earth was this guy juggling?
[188] That's what I said.
[189] Three families and surgeries all over the world.
[190] He's not going to do spoilers.
[191] Yeah.
[192] Spoiler.
[193] How was he doing that?
[194] I don't know.
[195] How do you even juggle three families?
[196] I don't know.
[197] Holy smokes.
[198] It's really, it's really crazy.
[199] But yeah, he killed all these people at this fancy hospital.
[200] And I also, sorry Unifiles, which is me, but there was a series that came out this year, the last installment of cereal, but wasn't Sarah Canick.
[201] Yeah, okay.
[202] And it was about fertility.
[203] It was this crazy story of egg freezing where all these women were, they were under twilight anesthesia during it via Yale.
[204] Oh, wow.
[205] Okay.
[206] And a lot.
[207] of women.
[208] During the procedure was saying, I can feel it.
[209] I can feel this.
[210] I remember this.
[211] Oh, and it's because one of the nurses was stealing the fentanyl.
[212] Yes.
[213] Oh, yeah.
[214] Yeah.
[215] And that's at Yale.
[216] Mm -hmm.
[217] Again, like, who would ever, you think you're getting the best care possible.
[218] Yes.
[219] It's so scary.
[220] I got called by somebody who was struggling with their wife and she was a nurse and they had found a ton of injectable opiates.
[221] Yes.
[222] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[223] It's so sad, but it's also...
[224] It's also Merry Christmas.
[225] It's a blue Christmas.
[226] I think I was feeling sort of, like, while I was there, kind of a little numb.
[227] Uh -huh.
[228] And then last night I got sad.
[229] Yeah.
[230] So now I'm sad.
[231] Yeah, I'm sorry, buddy.
[232] That's okay.
[233] It's just sad.
[234] Yeah, I think it takes, for me, it's, it's, it's, it's, has always taken some time.
[235] It's just like you're walking through it all.
[236] You're doing all the steps.
[237] You're there.
[238] And then it's oddly cheery sometimes.
[239] You're interacting with your relatives.
[240] But yeah, like the whole experience with Barton, which took three and a half days, four days.
[241] Yeah.
[242] My stepfather, who died while I was visiting, I got on the airplane to fly.
[243] I flew home, picked up Delta.
[244] I know.
[245] I remember.
[246] Took her immediately to Detroit.
[247] And on the flight to Detroit, I was like, oh, Lord, Barton is dead.
[248] And I was a part of it.
[249] And this just happened and holy.
[250] And it really hit me like all at once, all the feelings that I hadn't had for the five days while I was participating.
[251] Yeah.
[252] It's a lot.
[253] Merry Christmas.
[254] It's just the truth.
[255] Yeah.
[256] My dad told me when he was driving me to the airport that, and I forgot this story.
[257] But before I was born, a few years before.
[258] I was born, like, right after my dad and mom got married.
[259] My grandpa got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
[260] No way.
[261] Yes.
[262] And they said he had six months to live.
[263] Not your dad's dad, but your mother's, your dad's dad.
[264] No, my mom's dad.
[265] That's currently still here.
[266] You're not supposed to survive pancreatic cancer.
[267] Well, so he, yeah, so he got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
[268] They told him he had six months to live.
[269] So then they were making all these arrangements, basically.
[270] And then they ended up a couple weeks later going to Mayo Clinic, speaking of a world -renowned hospital.
[271] Yeah.
[272] They went to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion.
[273] And they were there for days.
[274] And then at the end, they said, we don't know what you have, but you don't have pancreatic cancer.
[275] Oh, my Lord.
[276] Wow.
[277] So that's a mixed bag because that's almost a blessing to happen to somebody.
[278] To think you're going to die for a month and then find out you're not, I feel like you could approach life differently afterwards.
[279] Well, yeah.
[280] And then my, so my dad was saying on the drive, he was like, I kind of look at this a little, because my dad was with them at the Mayo Clinic, only him.
[281] Okay.
[282] Him and my grandma.
[283] I know.
[284] I'm a choke.
[285] So early, too, one year in.
[286] Wow.
[287] I know.
[288] He jumped in the deep end.
[289] He did.
[290] Did your grandpa know your dad before your mom did?
[291] No. Okay.
[292] He worked in some way with my dad's sister.
[293] Okay.
[294] And then they were like.
[295] Aunt Kylie.
[296] Aunt Lily.
[297] Aunt Lily.
[298] And they then got in cahoots to put these two together.
[299] Right.
[300] This bombshell and this genius.
[301] Let's get these two together and see what happens.
[302] Anyway, so my dad, he was there.
[303] For him, he's like, I look at it kind of different.
[304] Like, he was supposed to die and he got another 40 years.
[305] Yeah, like, again, a huge success story.
[306] So it's a very glass, half full way to look at it because he never had pancreatic cancer.
[307] Right.
[308] Right.
[309] But it is a nice way to look at it.
[310] And it made me think, wow, if that had happened, I would have never met him.
[311] Right.
[312] And he's like the most special person to you.
[313] Yeah.
[314] Thank God.
[315] Yeah.
[316] That's the one frustration I have about when people do die.
[317] It, you...
[318] I have so many frustrations about it.
[319] Okay.
[320] Tell me. It's just frustrating that people have to die.
[321] It's, yeah, it's heartbreaking and tragic.
[322] And that's, yeah.
[323] But I would...
[324] The thing that's frustrating is that...
[325] especially when someone lives in 90 -plus years old.
[326] Yeah.
[327] They die and they have grandchildren who come and kiss them.
[328] Yeah.
[329] Like, it's such a success story.
[330] I know it is.
[331] It's such a, like, wonderful trip on planet Earth the head.
[332] So in some part, like some part of me, the intellectual side, not the emotional side, and I'm sure some cultures are this way.
[333] It's a real celebration of a very successful, non -tragic ride through.
[334] I know.
[335] It's a flip -flop.
[336] You can come in and out of that of what a beautiful life.
[337] Yeah.
[338] And it's still just so sad.
[339] Not for him.
[340] Right.
[341] It's sad for the rest of us.
[342] And I'm so sad for my grandma.
[343] Yeah.
[344] We don't bring her along to Lubbys.
[345] Yeah.
[346] Well, my mom might want some personal time.
[347] With her, me. With you.
[348] Okay.
[349] Well, they'll give me multiple trips to lobbies.
[350] Yeah, she loves a cafeteria too.
[351] We used to go to Rines all the time.
[352] My grandma and grandpa used to take me to Rines.
[353] That's what I'm going to send her, as I told you.
[354] I'm going to send her on.
[355] cafeteria food.
[356] Oh, yeah.
[357] Anyway, but yeah, so it's happy and it's sad and life is so dramatic.
[358] It is, it is.
[359] But it's, I'm grateful.
[360] You got to spend your whole childhood with him.
[361] I know, I can't believe it.
[362] Yeah.
[363] You got so lucky.
[364] Some people don't get that.
[365] No, most people's grandparents are so -so.
[366] I know.
[367] I got some really, a really good pair.
[368] Same.
[369] Papa Bob was like my dad.
[370] I think I spent more time with my Papa Bob.
[371] throughout my childhood.
[372] So I was there the whole summer every year.
[373] Not even I think.
[374] I certainly spent more time with my pup -bub.
[375] My papa would take me to Cedar Point.
[376] He would take me to ski.
[377] Was your brother close with him too?
[378] Yes.
[379] Yeah, the two of us were always over there.
[380] Oh, man. Yeah.
[381] I'd say every other weekend my dad had us, he dropped us off there.
[382] So half the weekends and then almost the whole summer.
[383] Yeah.
[384] And you said that you were realizing that you were my age when you were doing this for your dad.
[385] Yeah.
[386] Which is so upsetting.
[387] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[388] Because I still feel like a 10 -year -old.
[389] Of course.
[390] Like with my dad.
[391] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[392] That's what put it into perspective for me is you're dealing with your grandpa dying.
[393] And I was like, oh, I gave the eulogy at Papa Bob's funeral when I was 19 years old or 20.
[394] I just moved to California.
[395] And then did my dad at 36 or 7.
[396] That's not that much longer after.
[397] No, what's that's 16 years or something?
[398] That seems like there should be a much bigger gap.
[399] in between a grandparent and a parent.
[400] Absolutely.
[401] Yeah, 62 is insanely.
[402] Way too young.
[403] It's crazy, though, even at your age, when I was your age, 62 felt a lot different than it does at my current age for obvious reasons.
[404] Right.
[405] That's 14 years from now.
[406] Stop.
[407] Yes.
[408] I know.
[409] Yes.
[410] But when I was your age, it was, you know, 25 years or whatever the fuck.
[411] But it's still, to me, it still feels so young.
[412] Well, you have some old -ass friends like me. That's probably why.
[413] Yeah, Eric.
[414] Yeah, Eric.
[415] I was listening to Elizabeth has had her own little 10 -episode podcast about death and dying called The One Sure Thing, because her mom died when she was 19.
[416] Mm -hmm.
[417] And then within a year, her dad died.
[418] Aye, aye, aye.
[419] Yeah.
[420] Were they older parents?
[421] No. Her mom had cancer and then her dad had a heart attack on their anniversary.
[422] Isn't that?
[423] Yeah.
[424] But anyway, when she was - Well, the interview you missed.
[425] His dad died when he was 51.
[426] Yeah, it's insane.
[427] A heart attack, yeah.
[428] Yeah, but yeah, so she was talking about this and she was saying her dad was like a 53 or 54.
[429] I was like, that's Eric's almost Eric's age.
[430] Yeah, yeah.
[431] Ugh, it's like, no. I know.
[432] This feels not.
[433] And I already have too much fear around death and I was just getting over it and now it's back.
[434] Yeah.
[435] So I'm kind of mad at him for that.
[436] Yeah.
[437] Although it's a 90 -plus -year -old man and maybe a 103 -year -old man. Yeah, we don't really know his age.
[438] Right.
[439] That's up in the air.
[440] Because they forged their birth certificate.
[441] They used to way back when changed their birth certificates so that they could have longer years to work and stuff.
[442] I don't know.
[443] It was a whole thing.
[444] Right.
[445] So he's older than his birth certificate says.
[446] So we don't really know.
[447] We think he's around 94.
[448] But also.
[449] I like to think he's a 101.
[450] Me too, a centarian.
[451] Me too.
[452] I want that also.
[453] That's like upper 1%.
[454] I know.
[455] So it's not my fear around death with him.
[456] It's now that is triggering my fear of death for everyone in my life.
[457] That's how it ends.
[458] Yeah.
[459] And like all these people, you could die and my dad could die and my mom could die.
[460] And now like, and the floors are so slippery at my parents' house.
[461] Oh, they are?
[462] Yes.
[463] Why?
[464] Because it's tile?
[465] No, it's wood.
[466] But it's so slippery there.
[467] Did you hit the deck?
[468] No, but I like kind of ice skate around on my song.
[469] That's fun.
[470] I know, but not for these people who.
[471] The is older folks.
[472] I don't like that.
[473] Why don't you put them in a ranch with sticky floors?
[474] They don't want to move.
[475] They like it.
[476] Get them carpet for Christmas.
[477] That's disgusting.
[478] I have to tell them they have to wear shoes.
[479] Right, even when they sleep in case they get up and go potty.
[480] My mom did fall the other day trying to get in her bed in the middle of the night.
[481] Nirmie.
[482] Because she was sick.
[483] And then...
[484] Yeah, she was sick.
[485] It's pretty sick.
[486] And she fell down.
[487] She has an organ.
[488] Ew.
[489] Jack.
[490] I'm thinking of the runner.
[491] Stop.
[492] Don't make me talk about your mom's vagina.
[493] Oh, she'll tell you before.
[494] You don't want to hear about it.
[495] No, but I've grown up hearing about it.
[496] Anytime my mother had a yeast infection, I was like the first person who heard about it.
[497] But you don't like that.
[498] No, who would?
[499] Exactly.
[500] So stop.
[501] Ew.
[502] They're so gross.
[503] Who parents?
[504] God.
[505] Isn't it weird that you are one?
[506] Well, I talked about it the other day in the same way that I'm sad that Larry Trilling's children can't meet Larry Trilling, the normal man at all.
[507] Yeah.
[508] Yeah, I think, but I actually think, and I could be delusional.
[509] I'm probably delusional.
[510] I think my kids think I'm pretty cool.
[511] I'm noticing more and more Lincoln.
[512] And, like, every night in bed, it's, tell me another story.
[513] Like, I want a story.
[514] Tell me a story about this.
[515] Tell me a story about that.
[516] And the fact that I read to her from my memoir and she heard my writing, she's like, that turned on something for her.
[517] Like, she's like, oh, you're, yeah.
[518] So currently she's, like, seeing me as someone that's kind of interesting, which I'm loving.
[519] Okay.
[520] I think she, of course, will see you as someone interesting and she's glad that you're her dad.
[521] Right.
[522] But she's not going to think you're sexy.
[523] Well, God, no. You don't have all done something very wrong.
[524] I know, but that's, but the point, like, when we're talking about gross stuff with our parents, like, you're going to be gross.
[525] Like, that's gross to her.
[526] That will be gross.
[527] Absolutely.
[528] Anything sexual.
[529] But not her mother.
[530] So I'm talking about Nirmie.
[531] Now, I would be very delicate.
[532] Hold on, though.
[533] I've been very delicate to not talk about a choke falling down and accidentally quivering.
[534] You're not doing a very good job not talking about it.
[535] I'm doing a pretty good job.
[536] about it.
[537] But no, I didn't say anything specific.
[538] It's still gross.
[539] They don't want to know about Kristen's orgasms.
[540] And still, like, I don't even want to.
[541] She's too maternal for me to even want to think about that.
[542] Oh, gross.
[543] Anywho, all to say, I'm worried about everyone's going to die.
[544] No one in this room, everyone knock on wood right now.
[545] No one's allowed to die in this room.
[546] room until you're 80 years old or over.
[547] That was always my prayer.
[548] I would list all the people and say...
[549] And 80 was the year?
[550] Yeah.
[551] So you got 20 extra years.
[552] Well, yeah, if we're going to say he's a centarian.
[553] Yeah, he is.
[554] But if you have a great son, you just say, here lies a centarian.
[555] No, he was very honest, man. He wouldn't have liked that.
[556] You already said he lied about his age, so it's like, to what degree?
[557] Well, I don't think he did.
[558] I think his mom or dad did.
[559] Just put maybe in parentheses after.
[560] Hopefully.
[561] Possibly a centarian lies here.
[562] A great grandpa and a distributor of Granddaddy's Kissies.
[563] I did feel a little guilty because he is so old that he could have had a great grandkit.
[564] Like, I could have given him that.
[565] I'm old enough to have done that.
[566] I feel sad.
[567] Well, hold on.
[568] I wonder when your enthusiasm runs out, though.
[569] Like, I'll be excited to meet my grandkids.
[570] I have no goal of meaning great grink.
[571] Well, first of all, it's probably mathematically impossible.
[572] Unless there are advances in science and I live to 125.
[573] No. Lincoln could get pregnant at 14.
[574] We're really slinging some mud.
[575] And then your mother might have an orgasm when she hears.
[576] Stop!
[577] Can you be gentle?
[578] Well, you're telling me that Lincoln's going to be with child at 14.
[579] You said mathematically it's impossible and I'm telling you it's not mathematically impossible.
[580] You're right.
[581] In 28 years, I could have a child.
[582] a great grandchild, yes.
[583] I will say he cared a lot about professional success a lot.
[584] Yeah, absolutely.
[585] This is way better than a grand kid.
[586] I do think he would have been happier with this than that.
[587] I wish he could have known that.
[588] He didn't?
[589] That's a sad, sad piece.
[590] I have the same thing.
[591] I mean, I would fucking kill to spend the day with them right now.
[592] Yeah.
[593] And go, look at these little toeheads I had, these little shepherd.
[594] See, you want to show them the babies, not the career.
[595] I have a, this is totally off topic, and I hope it's not disrespectful.
[596] But I've been monitoring the gray in the sides of my hair.
[597] Because I shave the sides of my hair once a month, I guess.
[598] Matthew Collins does it.
[599] Celebrity stylist of the stars.
[600] Shout out.
[601] Co -host of the F -1 podcast.
[602] Yes.
[603] And so every time it grows out, I've got virtually a month more of graying, right?
[604] So every time it grows out, there's a little.
[605] shock.
[606] Like, oh, we're at a higher percentage.
[607] Oh, really?
[608] Yeah, and it seems like if I'm tracking this, we're going to be just dead silver.
[609] I don't know, maybe by the end of 2024.
[610] You think so?
[611] No, the top of your head isn't great.
[612] Not the top, the sides.
[613] The sides are like, they're fucking silver.
[614] Why do you think the sides and not the top?
[615] I don't know.
[616] I don't know if that's standard.
[617] I don't, I was looking in, and I was like, I've always considered myself such a shepherd of Kai.
[618] Like, prototypical shepherd.
[619] Yeah.
[620] None of the shepherds have ever had gray hair.
[621] My Papa Bob had zero gray hair.
[622] My dad had zero gray hair.
[623] My fucking brother, to my knowledge, has zero gray hair.
[624] Yes.
[625] So this morning, it's not just the gray hair.
[626] I was coming in terms with the fact that the story that I'm 100 % shepherd was horse shit.
[627] You're just now understanding genetics?
[628] No, I understand genetics.
[629] But what happened in this case was the 23 alleles that my father supposed.
[630] applied were all dominant.
[631] Everything that came from the Leboe family was recessive.
[632] Obviously, that's not true.
[633] But in my story, it's like, yeah, I got half Labone me, but all of those were recessive.
[634] You know what's weird?
[635] Tell me. It's weird that that's your story, because you love your mom so much.
[636] The most.
[637] And I'm so I'm really, it almost feels like.
[638] Disrespectful?
[639] Patriarchal or masculine.
[640] Toxic masculine.
[641] No, no. It's not that.
[642] It's because I grew up in my Papa Bob's house.
[643] and he was my hero, and I wanted to be him and a shepherd.
[644] Yeah, I didn't, like, my, her dad and I had, I think I've already talked about it in here.
[645] We had a very complicated relationship.
[646] We started out as best friends, and then he said something really mean about my father on a camping trip.
[647] And then I just didn't really like him.
[648] Unacceptable.
[649] And then he died really young.
[650] And then my grandma Midge had raised already six kids.
[651] So she would do her grandmotherly duties in that she would host us.
[652] I lived there when I detasseled corn that summer.
[653] But she wasn't like pumped.
[654] Yeah.
[655] She was tired.
[656] She was fucking tired.
[657] I told you my grandma Yolis literally asked in fifth grade if I wanted to, at the end of the summer, asked if I wanted to move in.
[658] Yeah.
[659] And you said.
[660] And I wanted to, but I didn't want to hurt my mom's feelings.
[661] Oh, God.
[662] Yeah.
[663] That would have killed your mom.
[664] But she kind of needed to help.
[665] It probably would have been helpful to have one last to get around.
[666] But, um.
[667] No. But my grandmother and I kind of talked a lot about it.
[668] And I would have really liked it.
[669] But you would have missed your mom.
[670] I would have missed her so much.
[671] I would have missed it.
[672] But I was getting so much there.
[673] I got so much attention and there was food there and there was no chaos.
[674] How far away was it?
[675] Wait.
[676] It was like a 45 minute drive.
[677] Okay.
[678] Did they ever yell at your dad for not being as around for you?
[679] I mean, that's their kid.
[680] Listen, they were bummed a lot with him, which was a really sad thing, ultimately.
[681] Anywho.
[682] I'm having like an identity crisis.
[683] where I realized, like, well, I'm clearly not all Shepard because I have all this gray hair.
[684] Yeah.
[685] How does it feel?
[686] I mean, I'm fine with the aesthetic.
[687] I'm not like bum that I have the gray hair or I'd be dyeing it, I guess.
[688] Right, exactly.
[689] I used to get highlights, you know.
[690] All through my acting career, I'd always get a little dose of blonde in there to give some dimension to this kind of, I don't even know what fucking color my hair is.
[691] That was another thing I was coming to terms with this morning in the gym.
[692] I was looking at my hair.
[693] I'm like, what color is?
[694] Brown.
[695] It's not even brown, though.
[696] It's like a fucking.
[697] a gray or something that would leak out of a lead pipe or something?
[698] No, it's brown.
[699] Like water that would come out of an old pipe.
[700] That's the color of my hair.
[701] But so I kind of welcome the gray because it's kind of a blast of color.
[702] It's a pop.
[703] It's a pop out.
[704] It's layers.
[705] Yeah, yeah.
[706] Anywho.
[707] I like gray hair on everyone.
[708] Oh.
[709] Stay tuned for more armchair expert if you dare.
[710] Should we exchange gifts?
[711] Yeah, we should.
[712] Okay.
[713] Who should go first?
[714] Youngest, the oldest?
[715] Yeah.
[716] Rob should go first.
[717] Yeah, that's always the best.
[718] So one, two, three, four, those are yours, Rob, and one of those is yours, Money.
[719] Moni's is the red.
[720] Mine's that?
[721] Yeah.
[722] Okay, so these are all Rob's.
[723] Yep.
[724] Wait, are you giving them mine?
[725] Yeah.
[726] Do they need to go together?
[727] You can give them that.
[728] Yeah, that'll be a mystery.
[729] That'll be basically a clue to the rest of the presence.
[730] Is it toothpaste?
[731] Power cell.
[732] Auto battery identification.
[733] Oh, auto batteries?
[734] You don't know much about...
[735] What that is.
[736] Okay.
[737] You don't know about lipo batteries.
[738] Those are lipos.
[739] Nope.
[740] Do you want to tell us about lipos?
[741] No. Well, just it's the most powerful, dense kind of battery.
[742] It's what's like in an electric car.
[743] Wow.
[744] Yeah, you have NICAD.
[745] Oh, my God, he got you an electric car.
[746] Do you want me to walk you through all the battery types?
[747] You got lead.
[748] That's in your car to start the car.
[749] Then you got NICAB.
[750] Those are above that.
[751] And then the LIPO is the greatest technology.
[752] Oh, wow.
[753] A lot of power.
[754] A lot of power within it.
[755] We all just do one at a time.
[756] So my family usually does.
[757] Oh.
[758] I'm open to that.
[759] Although you have so many.
[760] You might have to go through a car.
[761] So I've got one, two, three, four, or five.
[762] I think you should open one more of mine before you get to Monis.
[763] Okay.
[764] Sure.
[765] Yeah.
[766] So that top one there above the red will do.
[767] Okay.
[768] It's going to confuse you even more.
[769] More battery.
[770] Ooh, I love tricks.
[771] Oh, my God.
[772] Also, we haven't even talked about the fact that Rob's cookies are here.
[773] Oh, my God.
[774] And I am.
[775] Can I have one now?
[776] Yes, of course.
[777] This is our battery charger.
[778] Yes, so more confusion.
[779] Yeah.
[780] I don't know what these batteries would be for, but I'm looking forward.
[781] I saw that Rob posted on Instagram.
[782] He was making these yesterday and I got so excited.
[783] Yeah, I think someone actually I saw on Instagram.
[784] Oh, my God.
[785] Someone else was aware of them, too.
[786] These are my favorite cookies of all time.
[787] They're so good.
[788] Smile real big as you're about to eat one.
[789] Let's see that middle part.
[790] Oh, it's great.
[791] I got it.
[792] I got the shot.
[793] I got the shot.
[794] I got it.
[795] All right, Monica's turned on it.
[796] So yours is the white one.
[797] This one?
[798] Oh, wow.
[799] Oh, boy.
[800] It's a big boy.
[801] Wait, before we continue, Yeah.
[802] Let's have a moment of honesty.
[803] I found this year to be hard.
[804] Oh, you did?
[805] Yeah, didn't you?
[806] I found it hard, too.
[807] Yes, okay, great.
[808] You had said it was really hard.
[809] Oh, my God.
[810] This wrapping paper is a smell.
[811] I realize, yeah.
[812] I was very excited that it had a scent.
[813] It smells like a tree.
[814] Oh, my God.
[815] It smells better than my Christmas tree.
[816] I can't believe Monica's not hip to this.
[817] Aren't you the bomb wrapping paper queen?
[818] I normally am.
[819] You'll have to send me this wrap what it is.
[820] Oh, here, I'll give this to you.
[821] You're better at this.
[822] You found it to be hard.
[823] So hard, I actually reached out to Natalie, and it was a dead end.
[824] She doesn't know what to give you either.
[825] She's not great at gifts.
[826] Yeah, yeah.
[827] I was like talking to me. Oh, my God.
[828] It was like texting with myself.
[829] I almost reached out to her, too, to find out about the color of your La Cressee, but then I pivoted.
[830] Okay.
[831] And we have also a lot of people in the comments.
[832] It's Le, I think it's Le.
[833] I think we also got the beginning wrong.
[834] Le Creset.
[835] It's L -E, so that makes sense.
[836] But I don't.
[837] care about that.
[838] You sound a little pretentious, like, trying to speak French.
[839] It's like saying Neanderthal.
[840] It's like saying, wee, we, we.
[841] This is a smelly paper.
[842] You should rub it in your armpits and stuff after you've opened it.
[843] So you get a nice bit of evergreen smell in there.
[844] Oh, wow.
[845] Oh, that.
[846] Pavlovian sound.
[847] It's a frame.
[848] Oh, my God.
[849] Oh, boy.
[850] What is this?
[851] Something's custom framed.
[852] I know.
[853] What is it going to be?
[854] What's it saying?
[855] Oh my God.
[856] Hold on.
[857] Hold on.
[858] There's, no. Wait, wait.
[859] It's a Maru coffee.
[860] Oh, my gosh.
[861] But this is an artist.
[862] It's this Australian artist, Bella McGoldrick.
[863] And she does these crazy colored pencils.
[864] And she did like a series of her favorite coffee around the world.
[865] And Maru happened to.
[866] be one of the cuts.
[867] It made the cut.
[868] One of the cuts.
[869] Wow.
[870] This is incredible.
[871] And you need artwork.
[872] I do.
[873] I do.
[874] You're going to have a lot of linear feet in that house.
[875] You know, one of my favorite things ever is when you see the number at the bottom of the artwork.
[876] Oh, you love that.
[877] This is two out of ten.
[878] Right, right, right, right.
[879] Oh, my gosh, this is just gorgeous.
[880] Thank you, Rob.
[881] He's good at this.
[882] He's so good.
[883] And that's an Australian coffee shop.
[884] That's apparently great in Melbourne.
[885] And we got, we're going to go.
[886] Yeah.
[887] Now we have a sip of coffee.
[888] I cannot believe Maru is on that.
[889] It's very cool.
[890] I was like, well, I got to get this.
[891] It's kind of 3D.
[892] It's not a monseur or monseer.
[893] It's not a monseur.
[894] Yeah, her drawings are insane.
[895] How do you do?
[896] How do people do this?
[897] Yeah.
[898] It's makes, I'm mad at these.
[899] Love it.
[900] Yay, thank you.
[901] Well, I think you should open mine first.
[902] I have terrible anxiety now because my present sucks compared to that.
[903] Okay.
[904] You're out now.
[905] I go, because I'm old.
[906] I'm last on this stuff.
[907] Who do you want?
[908] Wobbies?
[909] The pink one is first, though.
[910] Okay.
[911] There's an order.
[912] There is an order.
[913] Wow, wow.
[914] And you do this wrapping yourself or you outsource it?
[915] No, I did that myself.
[916] Oh, my God.
[917] And he got, for me, really cute, peach, pink wrapping paper with cars on it, El Coaches.
[918] Yeah, because I love.
[919] Does it smell like car?
[920] Yeah.
[921] It smells like Petrie.
[922] and burning rubber.
[923] Okay.
[924] You know what this is?
[925] Uh -huh, I think.
[926] You guys are so much hipper than me. You know what this is?
[927] Oh my wabby -wob.
[928] I'm scared.
[929] I'm scared.
[930] Oh, but it's a trick.
[931] It's not burberry inside.
[932] Oh, my God, you are trickster.
[933] Oh, wow.
[934] Is this an ornament?
[935] No, it's a lamp.
[936] It's a little pet crows holding lights that you can have a team of...
[937] That one has a screw in the box somewhere.
[938] Oh, my God.
[939] And then there's another one that can go on your desk.
[940] Oh, my Lord.
[941] These are crow lamps.
[942] Yeah, it's like you've trained crows to hold the light for you.
[943] Wow, that's cute.
[944] This is so wonderful.
[945] I love these.
[946] Oh my gosh, this is great.
[947] Since I've not been able to woo them with my...
[948] meats and everything else.
[949] I tried to get you a crow whistle, but it didn't work.
[950] Clearly, I need one.
[951] Did you just hear my crow call?
[952] Very thoughtful.
[953] Very, very, very thoughtful.
[954] Fuck.
[955] Let's go.
[956] Boy, this is strong fucking paper.
[957] Are you kidding?
[958] You can't even tear this paper in half.
[959] Oh, this really is...
[960] Uh -oh, well, we definitely shouldn't talk.
[961] You people have spoiled me. Beautiful green.
[962] Ooh, that's gorgeous.
[963] Sweat shirt.
[964] That's really nice.
[965] Oh, Wabi.
[966] Oh, I love the green.
[967] Absolutely.
[968] I want that.
[969] It's, you know, this is what I say my favorite color is.
[970] Because Bill Gates.
[971] Well, because geniuses, yeah.
[972] Even though his favorite color is blue.
[973] And I love blue.
[974] Cute.
[975] Oh, that's going to look so handsome.
[976] this is so oh and look it has a little cute little hash as a blue on back.
[977] It was a little fake out.
[978] Yeah that was fun.
[979] That was like...
[980] That was a good fake out.
[981] That was a bait and switch.
[982] It was.
[983] He put the crows in the burberry bag in the burberry in the crow box.
[984] Yeah, wow!
[985] Very rascally, very off the brand.
[986] That's great.
[987] Okay, so now what happens?
[988] Now Robb goes again.
[989] Should I complete?
[990] Yeah, once you open one, you've basically opened the second one.
[991] This is going to need a little explanation.
[992] Let me start by saying, I know that you don't want this.
[993] Okay?
[994] Me, Monica?
[995] No, Rob.
[996] Oh, God.
[997] But I think it'll...
[998] But it'll create...
[999] But you need it?
[1000] Yep.
[1001] Something with Calvin.
[1002] That's exactly right.
[1003] What?
[1004] Oh.
[1005] Okay.
[1006] Now I want to tell you something.
[1007] These are the very best Traxuses.
[1008] They're the rock crawlers.
[1009] They're four -wheel drive so you can create courses in the back yard.
[1010] and it'll climb over anything.
[1011] Amazing.
[1012] Thank you, yeah.
[1013] And I got one for Calvin too.
[1014] So I think yours is blue and his is tanner, however you want to set it up.
[1015] But you guys have matching rock crawlers you can do in the backyard now.
[1016] That's so cute.
[1017] Yeah, that's awesome.
[1018] Oh, my God.
[1019] Remember how when we were, you guys were so into those?
[1020] It was my life for two years.
[1021] And we did, and Father's Day, Kristen, did a whole Father's Day based off of it.
[1022] With races.
[1023] Yeah, it was so fun.
[1024] I got way back into it again.
[1025] Me and the girls have been driving them a lot.
[1026] It's so much fun.
[1027] You can waste two and a half hours with your kids out there driving around.
[1028] I can't wait.
[1029] Okay.
[1030] Monnie.
[1031] Hi.
[1032] You're sad?
[1033] I am.

[1167] That's right.
[1168] We don't have good steak knives either.
[1169] Okay, good.
[1170] That's how also I was going to ask Natalie.
[1171] What did Natalie fucking tell me that?
[1172] She should know you guys don't have nice steak nights.
[1173] This was from Cookbook, a really cool store in Highland Park.
[1174] Yeah, I love Cookbook.
[1175] He already loves it.
[1176] God, you guys are dialed in.
[1177] And Al is the woman who was helping me and was excited because she recognized.
[1178] And I said this is for Wabiwop.
[1179] And I thought those were so pretty.
[1180] Yeah, these are great.
[1181] Wasn't there more to that story?
[1182] Well, you wanted to do something custom to these?
[1183] Oh, I wanted to have each steak and I have a different color.
[1184] Because the way it was displayed, it was like that.
[1185] Okay, yeah, yeah.
[1186] But then they were just showing you all the colors, and I asked if I could have a pack that was each different color.
[1187] How many steak knives are in the set?
[1188] Six, I think, yeah.
[1189] Okay, so you should have bought six and then given the same present to six people and arrange the colors.
[1190] I could have one -stop shopping for everyone.
[1191] That's awesome.
[1192] Yay.
[1193] Oh, in a big, big glass jar of peppercorn.
[1194] Yes, yummy peppercorn.
[1195] Fresh.
[1196] Fresh.
[1197] Good.
[1198] We'll be sneezed all over it.
[1199] It spilled it all over.
[1200] Wow.
[1201] Everyone did great.
[1202] What a bounty.
[1203] I'm going to look gorgeous in 2024.
[1204] Should we do resolutions?
[1205] Yeah, we should.
[1206] Do you know yours?
[1207] I need to go last.
[1208] You're going to think of years while we're going.
[1209] I think I'm only doing one this year.
[1210] Okay.
[1211] What is it?
[1212] I need to finish writing the book this year.
[1213] You're going to finish it.
[1214] Yeah, that's what I got to do this year.
[1215] I got to figure out how to fucking make the time or get the right schedule, something.
[1216] Got to finish.
[1217] I think mine's to cook more.
[1218] I cooked twice in the last two years.
[1219] Oh, my God.
[1220] Thanksgiving.
[1221] Oh, no. It's simple for someone with your interesting.
[1222] I know.
[1223] Well, now you can.
[1224] I need to make time for cooking.
[1225] Now you can put pepper on things you cook.
[1226] It's probably because you didn't have pepper.
[1227] And if you're at the grill and you need an ingredient from the fridge, you can drive your remote control truck into there and then have Calvin put it on the back of it and then drive it back.
[1228] So maybe it all helps.
[1229] Well, they'll just distract him in the backyard so I can cook.
[1230] Yes.
[1231] That's true.
[1232] Fun.
[1233] Yeah, you love to cook.
[1234] I do.
[1235] I bake during the holidays and then I cook on Thanksgiving.
[1236] And that's it.
[1237] And that's that.
[1238] Yep.
[1239] And then 364 other days.
[1240] Everyone can, it's just pes -a -d -fuck -off.
[1241] Mine, I think mine is to, well, it's always to drink more water.
[1242] Yeah.
[1243] That's always one.
[1244] And electrolytes?
[1245] That one gets recycled.
[1246] That's a carryover every year.
[1247] It is, it is, it is.
[1248] It is.
[1249] That's a standard.
[1250] But what should mine be?
[1251] You're putting it out to committee.
[1252] I need help, yeah.
[1253] Maybe to watch Contagion more.
[1254] Oh.
[1255] Yeah.
[1256] I haven't watched it in a while.
[1257] I know.
[1258] Actually.
[1259] Perhaps one is going to the movies more.
[1260] Uh -huh.
[1261] I do love going to the movies and then I just never do it.
[1262] I started back this year.
[1263] We did too.
[1264] The last like month we've gone like six times.
[1265] Yeah, that's fun.
[1266] I've gone to more movies in the theater this year than I have the previous five, I think.
[1267] Okay, so more movies.
[1268] This is very accomplishable.
[1269] Yeah.

[1358] And then they are not able to kiss you.
[1359] anymore.
[1360] So Merry Christmas.
[1361] No, I thank you for sharing all that because it is a good reminder.
[1362] Like, if you got that, you really got everything.
[1363] It's really true.
[1364] Not to be sacram, but it's true.
[1365] There's really nothing of comparable value to health.
[1366] It really, it will put it in perspective.
[1367] I mean, even if you have your health, you probably don't have this painting that rock got me. Right.
[1368] A couple people do.
[1369] And you can't really enjoy your health without.
[1370] he's canceling headphones because the life's too chaotic and miserable.
[1371] I wonder if you'll get to the same rhythm I do, which is like, I'm, I'm in those all the time, not listening to things, just canceling out the fucking world.
[1372] Oh my God.
[1373] You know this about me. That's, okay, can I, oh.
[1374] Go ahead.
[1375] I don't think you're going to like it.
[1376] Go ahead.
[1377] I feel like that's an age thing.
[1378] My mom just, she just walks around the house constantly with her.
[1379] Her noise cancelling?
[1380] Yeah, her noise cancelling air pods in.
[1381] And it is so annoying.
[1382] Because she can't hear you.
[1383] Yes.
[1384] And then you'll say something.
[1385] And then like 45 seconds later, she'll be like, what?
[1386] Uh -huh.
[1387] Well, let me be more specific.
[1388] I put them on in the morning when I meditate.
[1389] And then I wear it while I'm journaling too.
[1390] Because again, it's so fucking.
[1391] Those are great times to do it.
[1392] So that's really when I spend the first hour of my day in them.
[1393] I was going to say, I don't ever see walking around in them.
[1394] No, no, no, no. No, I'm not an asshole, like your mom.
[1395] Yeah, exactly.
[1396] No, I love her.
