This. Episode of Funny Because It's True is
0:03
supported by State Farm. I am a huge
0:05
fan of State for hims personal price plan.
0:07
I recommend Home Auto and Live Coverage to
0:09
just about everybody. The personal price play and
0:11
it's all about being unique, impersonal to you
0:13
and your needs. That means you get the
0:15
coverage you want, a policy that helps cover
0:17
what's important to you and an affordable price.

6:48
that Taco John's menu Cadets I
6:50
see if it's oh Tackler Jones
6:52
as Radical Street Some. I.
6:54
Did find when I was googled it
6:56
was them. Images of
6:58
Roxanne from a goofy
7:01
movie. Successes I
7:03
saw a video on Instagram those
7:05
like Timeout like. People's.
7:07
Childhood Price. And as
7:10
like. Oh yeah line
7:12
with months and from a goof
7:14
him be out of a picture
7:16
of like yep. So. Tracks.
7:18
Since we're now, I got a lot
7:20
of Roxanne from a goofy movie. Oh
7:23
yes either babe. I remember watching. It
7:25
being like sushi so high and an animal.
7:27
It's facilities are you here?
7:31
There's. A change.org that says force
7:33
Dizzy to apologize for making Roxanne ways
7:35
you high a goofy do apologize So
7:37
that guess is that for seven hundred
7:39
and sixty seven, signature them a try
7:42
to get to a thousand but I'm
7:44
not signing it. When. Whizzes posted
7:46
by two thousand and Eleven and isn't. Growing
7:49
one signature every month. So.
7:51
It sort of five years ago. Zero
7:55
Five. Years ago. As such a bizarre
7:57
time to start a petition for. when
7:59
that character came out. This
8:01
person said I want Disney to feel responsible for
8:03
me becoming a furry. Oh gosh.
8:07
The internet's full of interesting things.
8:09
Yeah. Maybe it haunts that person.
8:12
Okay, with that being said, number five, what
8:14
do you know more about than you should?
8:17
I don't know. I'm constantly surprised by the
8:19
depth of information I have on random
8:21
things. You know a lot about
8:23
Free Guy. She's been leaving me voice messages on the
8:26
phone about just different
8:28
plot holes in the movie Free
8:30
Guy. Wait, what is the movie
8:33
Free Guy about? I've never heard
8:35
about this movie. Okay, it's
8:37
a Ryan Reynolds movie where he's
8:39
a non-playable character in a video
8:41
game and he becomes
8:43
AI, like a sentient person and
8:45
starts like playing the game with
8:47
other people and everyone's like, who
8:49
is this guy? Who's playing this
8:51
character? He's playing his own character
8:53
because now he's AI and leaves
8:56
a revolution within the game and
8:58
then one of the people
9:00
who she, okay, this
9:03
is so hard. One of the players created like
9:05
some of the stuff that's like in the game
9:08
but it was like stolen from her
9:10
and her partner by Taiko Watiti and
9:13
then she, it's okay. It's just,
9:15
it's a really great movie and it's
9:17
really hard for me to explain right now. Well
9:20
now I want to watch it. When did it come out? Okay,
9:23
listen, it came out like two years ago, maybe,
9:25
yeah, two years ago I think. It is
9:27
a great movie. It's fun. It's
9:30
a great movie. I'm gonna watch it tonight and I
9:32
will tag you on Instagram and be like, Nicole told
9:34
me to watch this. Please do. It's my favorite movie.
9:37
As I share, what about you? I don't know. Nicole,
9:39
do you think I know anything more
9:41
than I should? I don't think you really know
9:43
anything. Honestly, I agree.
9:45
I don't think I really know. I think
9:48
I like stuff but I don't like... There's
9:50
nothing you geek out about? I
9:53
can't think of anything I geek out about. Yeah,
9:55
it's like things I enjoy and I'm like, that's
9:57
enough for me. I'm not studying it or like...
10:00
Interesting thing about you. You're
10:02
not like oh, I gotta
10:04
learn everything. I need to know about that You're
10:06
like like the ocean. She'll like literally turn to
10:08
me and go I've had enough ocean today, and
10:10
then she'll like Okay,
10:18
wait, I know you know too
10:20
much about like nice traveling like
10:22
all of her stuff is always like nicely
10:25
packed and then she's a person who like
10:27
Empties like a like a lotion into
10:30
a smaller tube of lotion so she
10:32
could bring it through TSA And then
10:34
like where's matching pajamas like I think
10:36
she knows too much about like living
10:38
healthy and nice and kind About
10:42
being an adult human being that
10:44
can travel through TSA yeah, and also
10:46
she doesn't get like flabbergasted while traveling we
10:48
were coming back in the country once and
10:52
The guy goes anything to declare and she
10:54
goes yeah her and then they laughed
10:56
and then he asked me something. I was like Like
11:02
I was just joking I was like
11:04
yeah, I'm declaring this
11:06
lady and he's like You're
11:12
like the stakes are too high right now.
11:14
I can't it's too much pressure. What's going
11:16
on? I think that's what I
11:18
said. I don't want it. I
11:21
don't want it I just had a friend who doesn't fly a lot
11:23
and I took her with me on a trip and we made it
11:25
through Security as
11:27
soon as we get on the other side
11:29
of the metal detector waiting for our bags
11:31
She jokes and says I am NOT a threat
11:34
Like as if she made it through
11:36
the metal detector and was celebrating by saying she
11:38
wasn't a threat And
11:41
I was like You actually
11:43
can't say that that is And
11:47
she's like I was just joking and like starts clapping
11:49
and I was like oh my god You
11:52

11:54
can't bring her anywhere As
11:59
we got on the plane And she she said to
12:02
going to Vegas. She goes we're getting married in Vegas
12:04
and everyone looked at her and everyone was
12:06
like congratulations Nobody ever believes
12:08
that we're getting married and it's very frustrating to
12:11
me Nicole tries to do that
12:13
with us all the time because the
12:15
stories that Nicole creates are too outlandish
12:17
Like we were in Miami and we
12:19
went to a restaurant and
12:21
I think you maybe put like celebrating
12:24
Yes, I said we're celebrating an anniversary
12:27
And then the hostess was like
12:29
what's the thing and she was
12:31
like actually I just posted today
12:34
We were on Jesky, but I accidentally dropped the
12:36
ring in the ocean But she still said
12:38
yes, and then he's like okay, and then
12:40
like walked us to the table And
12:44
Nicole's like how come she didn't believe us and
12:46
I was like because that was a crazy story
12:49
I'm sorry. Do you enjoy that or do you
12:51
not like it? It's it's always funny, but no
12:53
I don't like it Yeah,
12:55
she doesn't like it It
12:58
been a cold like great. I'm gonna keep doing it Well
13:00
now I'll whisper things that I think I
13:02
shouldn't say out loud and you're not the only
13:05
person in my life Who's like can you not
13:07
do that? So I've had to learn you know
13:12
Alright that's it for Nicole buyer and sister's the
13:14
motto to stick around coming up after the break
13:16
We have a lease with five questions with rainbows

I This
13:29
episode of funny because it's true is supported by State
13:31

15:20
A the the funniest one for me
15:22
was I and I don't even know
15:24
if he is aware that this happened
15:27
but a one of the times. One
15:30
of the few times I went to the
15:32
Golden Globes because of the television show The
15:34
Office. I'm. In a
15:36
it's a very funny of the Golden
15:38
Globes because there's two Worlds has the
15:40
world of film and the was the
15:42
world of Tb. So it's in this
15:44
giant ballroom at a hotel and all
15:46
of the film stars and film actors
15:48
are at the tables down on the
15:50
floor at the prime spot so the
15:52
cameras com spot them easily and within
15:54
they are more daring people that can
15:56
heal itself. Or your total else
15:59
Mm, a television, Those and especially the
16:01
comedy television shows are like in the
16:03
corner know level of access your met
16:05
by the exits and new you can
16:07
try to see the stage but you
16:09
know I miss the fancier says like
16:12
the H B O shows were kind
16:14
of more central and still up a
16:16
little bit so we were tucked back
16:18
in the corner. anyway. I'm one time
16:20
ah during the course of the show
16:22
I had p so I went into
16:24
the bathroom and there. Are
16:27
holding up at the exact
16:29
same time. Next to me
16:31
was Martin Scorsese and. I
16:34
I was like oh my god, I
16:36
don't I don't get starstruck very easily.
16:38
There's I mean, I've just met a
16:40
lot of celebrities as you do as
16:42
an actor and worked with actors and
16:44
stuff like that says I blah blah
16:46
blah But for me, Martin Scorsese's someone
16:48
that I would truly. Have
16:50
or up of response to like I
16:52
was I couldn't speak i i wanted
16:54
to say something the widow i say
16:56
i'm peeing next to him to I
16:58
looked down at his deck know of
17:00
course I don't settle. The bathroom situation
17:03
for men is so different to like
17:05
you guys are like right there. I've
17:07
never understood that there's no sloth fight
17:10
isn't. Our dividers. Where's.
17:12
Where shoulder to shoulder now
17:14
and we're doing our business
17:16
in outta sight. Ancient human
17:18
men have been doing against
17:20
trees for tens of thousands
17:22
of years now, side by
17:24
side. just exactly. And
17:27
talk about streaming service. Com
17:30
and sorry Dad jokes his
17:32
own thing. Anyway, so
17:34
that was awkward and then I went
17:37
on and the emits an endless. Awards
17:40
show. It's a three hour awards show and
17:42
then you know, another hour and a half
17:44
later it's still going on. As I am
17:46
I gonna have to pee against I make
17:48
my way through the crowd over to the
17:50
bathroom. Sure, Enough. The.
17:52
Exact same time. There.
17:54
Is Martin Scorsese again peeing
17:56
right there on this vein
17:59
schedule? And. Truly believe Elise.
18:01
I truly believe that to this
18:03
very day, Martin Scorsese and I
18:06
always p at the exact same
18:08
time every time I urinate size.
18:10
It's about Martin Scorsese and I'm
18:13
wishing him the very best with
18:15
his bladder. and yeah, I know
18:17
where on the same. Cycle.
18:20
Adjust his urine, you know
18:22
where that's that's powerful. That
18:26
story it's in the best there's lots ever gotten
18:28
a that crisis is it? Again,
18:31
never to what was your first job.
18:33
My first job is ah I was
18:35
a in child labor. I
18:37
was a child labor. I'm not
18:39
joking. I was twelve
18:41
or thirteen years old and
18:43
I lived in can a
18:45
suburban Seattle and there was
18:48
this job I heard about
18:50
picking fruit and. Ah,
18:52
You could pick strawberries raspberries at
18:55
these farms further out of of
18:57
Seattle and I in my family
18:59
was broke. I grew up with
19:01
no money. If I wanted to
19:03
buy anything I had to work
19:05
to earn it I would. I
19:07
didn't get, I didn't have stuff
19:10
and so I wanted to work
19:12
and. I i tried strawberry
19:14
picking as the absolute worst your down
19:16
on your knees they're very low little
19:18
pushes it killed me was awful and
19:20
then I tried one of the raspberry
19:23
farms and what they would do is
19:25
they would send the school buses to
19:27
kind of lived the little mini malls
19:29
of the neighborhood and these pre adolescence
19:31
would get on the bus and they
19:33
would truck you outs and. What?
19:36
They did he is you weren't an
19:38
employee, they just brought buses up there
19:40
and if you wanted to pick the
19:42
berries they would pay you for what
19:45
you picked so that they paid a
19:47
dollar twenty five per flat of raspberries.
19:49
So if you're if you're really fast
19:51
you could pick to in an hour
19:53
if the berries with fruitful and laden
19:56
but usually it's like of a flat
19:58
a platinum half stars essentially making my
20:00
two dollars an hour. I would go
20:02
every day and it was all swelled.
20:05
A fifteen year olds told child labor
20:07
and we are out there all day
20:09
in the hot sun am? I don't
20:11
think we weren't given any food though.
20:13
we're like water at the end of
20:16
the aisles and this doesn't really mean
20:18
guys would com and like they wanted
20:20
you to pick it clean right so
20:22
you couldn't leave your row and less.
20:24
State inspected it and made sure that
20:27
you had picked all of the fruit
20:29
from it. So so super illegal
20:31
it's they have felt super elite on.
20:33
I look back on and I'm like
20:36
how how the hell did that happen
20:38
and it was fun. It was social
20:40
to weed goof around in. there would
20:42
be like thirteen year old girls there
20:45
and you'd awkwardly try and talk with
20:47
them and you know a but sometimes
20:49
was ninety ninety five degrees and I'm
20:51
like I'm surprised kids didn't pass out
20:54
or could be staying sir. oh this
20:56
bites are muslim or stuff and then
20:58
I'm but you know at. The end
21:00
of the summer you'd get a nice
21:02
check for either. I don't even remember.
21:04
Fifteen dollars and enough Css. Are
21:07
probably two or three hundred dollars is Mike
21:09
that I remember buying a Boom box at
21:12
the end of the summer Nice which I
21:14
cherished. and I could play cassettes from Columbia
21:16
Record and say Cassette Club on it, but
21:18
that was my first jobs. Last. Summer's.
21:22
Do. Your parents do that. They did.
21:24
They thought I was being a productive member of
21:26
society. They approved. They. Approved of their
21:28
thirty's Not seeing their thirteen year old all summer
21:30
cause he was being shipped off to some farm
21:33
god knows where. They. Were. Like honestly this
21:35
is best case scenario he's is
21:37
he's doing something. Sweeter of think that's.
21:41
Right? Exactly taken care of them. An
21:43
ear go to meal right now. I.
21:45
Have our protein smoothie in the morning
21:47
instead of breakfasts, okay, is theoretically supposed
21:50
to make me not fat, but it's
21:52
not. Finale:
21:55
I Love Preaching Six The point where I'll
21:57
drink them like as dessert after a meal
21:59
and people. Like you can't do that. That's
22:01
lady Mad specific letter that's no not is
22:03
the first and I'm like that is so
22:05
delicious. Ethics: Isis have it instead of the
22:07
meal. You know, but didn't hungry and
22:09
I eat something anyways. it's just it never
22:12
works out for me when I tried to
22:14
see that. that's the problem men I'm just
22:16
hungry the rest of the day. Him and
22:18
I he trader Joe's peanut butter pretzels all
22:20
day long but they're healthy as experts that
22:23
that I tell my son just got it's
22:25
gotta be healthy. Sprite is as it's from
22:27
here does does sound and of its lasting
22:29
you Googled. I'm. Who
22:32
played Niels Bohr. In. The
22:34
Oppenheimer Movie. By. Christopher
22:36
Nolan. but I don't think. Ah,
22:39
I don't think they have Niels Bohr
22:41
in the film which doesn't make sense
22:43
because he was there are a Los
22:45
Alamos I helping develop a nuclear bomb.
22:48
So was I was reading this thing
22:50
about Niels Bohr. ah, and Heisenberg the
22:52
the German not. Theoretical. Physicist
22:54
and kind of that world is really
22:56
fascinating of theoretical physicists from you know,
22:58
turn of the century through the nineteen
23:01
forties that was like a new know
23:03
Einstein and his whole posse and in
23:05
were kind of everything kind of everything
23:07
we know about the universe was discovered
23:10
in a period of like twenty or
23:12
thirty years. It was pretty crazy is
23:14
so while yeah and. L a little
23:16
bit about Einstein when as in high school and
23:18
it made me and want to go to college
23:20
for engineering and so I atlas when I started
23:22
in college do it as an engineer and I
23:25
was planning on going on. I went to Orange
23:27
because college in in Orange County and then was
23:29
planning on transferring you Cla to that was like
23:31
a really good pipeline between As. To school
23:33
in the program and I quit. I
23:36
three years in says I just hated math
23:38
since I just couldn't Right at that. I
23:40
loved everything about you. Nearing in that period
23:42
of time was like. Oh my gosh, I could
23:45
just listen to this forever. And
23:47
mine was Does Pinero except
23:49
apple pay blessing I discussed.
23:51
Oh okay. good today and.
23:54
Video Yes it is your what? Oh and it's
23:56
They give you three percent. Guess that is easier
23:58
up your apple. Pay to see isn't it? That's
24:00
crazy, I didn't know that. Yeah, it is. Can
24:03
I make a confession to you? Yeah. I
24:07
don't understand Apple Pay. Honestly,
24:09
it's like your
24:11
phone stores your cards in your
24:14
phone and. Is that all it is? It's
24:16
a stored credit card in my phone? Yep,
24:18
also I think we have the same case. Oh
24:21
my God. Twins. Twinsies.
24:25
I only use it to buy things online
24:27
or like from Grubhub when I'm getting meals
24:29
delivered. But I've never gone to like a
24:31
store and like figured out. I'm
24:33
too embarrassed to say, how do I buy something with
24:36
Apple Pay? Same. And then
24:38
the shame of like, if it doesn't work, that's
24:40
so embarrassing. I even, your Apple Watch can double
24:42
as like Apple Pay if you can like triple
24:44
click and. I will never have an Apple
24:46
Watch because I don't wanna get texts on my
24:48
wrist. I turn all my notifications off.
24:51
I basically have it so that if my son has like
24:53
stolen my phone and dropped it somewhere, I can find it.
24:55
You can like swipe up and like use a little search
24:57
and it makes a loud noise. And I'm like, this is
24:59
worth $300 to me. My
25:03
phone is lost 24 seven. Okay,
25:05
and then last question. What do you know more about
25:07
than you should? Stuff
25:10
I know way more about than I
25:12
should is world religions.
25:14
Yeah. And history
25:16
of religions and teachings
25:18
of various faiths from,
25:22
you know, Hindu and pre-Hindu
25:24
stuff to Buddhism and Islam
25:27
and the Quran and stuff
25:29
like that. I love that. I love that you
25:31
loved it so much that you're like, I just have to get
25:33
this out on paper and write a book about it. Exactly.
25:37
That's kind of how it worked. Yeah. Kind
25:40
of like these ideas that have been
25:42
percolating for 20 or 30 years around
25:44
the interconnectedness of religions and
25:46
spiritual ideas and how to utilize
25:48
spiritual tools and ideas in our
25:51
personal lives and in the life
25:53
of our society. You
25:56
know, the answers are there in deep,
25:58
rich spiritual traditions from all kinds. kinds
26:00
of different faiths. And so,
26:02
you know, getting to quote the Vedantas
26:05
and the Upanishads, you
26:08
know, in a book, but also trying to have
26:10
it be funny at the same time is really
26:12
interesting. Was super exciting for
26:14
me. Yeah. So I'm, besides all the many
26:16
kinds of nerds that I am, I
26:19
guess a religious slash spiritual nerd
26:21
as well. That's
26:24

26:47
Cause It's True is supported by State Farm. I think it's
26:49
safe to say I think it's safe to
26:51
say that we exist in an era of
26:53
uber-customization where all of our music and social
26:55
media feeds are all totally personalized to us.
26:58
For example, my algorithm brought me over
27:00
three different recipe videos that featured potatoes
27:02
just this morning. I don't know
27:04
what that says about me, but I did watch all three
27:06
of them. Well State Farm wants
