spk_3
 

We had a great flight. We spent 45 minutes flirting with women that do the clear thing next to pitch. TSA pre check. Uh, you know, it's It's like there's the free check. But then there's a thing called Clear that they haven't explained yet, but they're there to be like you can get in quicker. Clear. Yeah, clear.

0:07:33
spk_0
 

There's regular, reject and clear,

0:07:35
spk_3
 

which is privately owned, and they get beautiful women to get old slobs to be interested in. It looks

0:07:41
spk_0
 

like a chime, and I

0:07:42
spk_3
 

always get to the airport very early on. So I had time to chat and learn a little bit about it.

0:07:47
spk_0
 

You get you whether you have a flight or not.

0:07:50
spk_3
 

Absolutely. I'll get there early for everyone else's fight.

0:08:27
spk_1
 

they doing? That you can give them that note? That's not how we do it here.

0:08:31
spk_0
 

Probably simply carrying bag.

0:08:33
spk_3
 

Exactly. I mean, right away. They're doing it wrong. Uh,

0:08:37
spk_1
 

you demonstrate how, Todd properly. Carry a bag real quick. A nice visual joke for anybody who's listening to

0:08:42
spk_3
 

this. Really? Only

0:08:43
spk_0
 

you always try to cram a too big suitcase into an

0:08:46
spk_3
 

overhead. Yeah, I could. I enter the plane first on, then take the longest. Uh,

0:08:54
spk_0
 

well, you do stole involved valor right

0:08:57
spk_1
 

up top, right? You say you were in the military, and you just show them a picture of a uniform show. You just show them a picture of a military uniform and say I wore this

0:09:08
spk_3
 

one. Yeah, I wore the uniform. Well, I was the first ever person to be dishonorably not let into the military.

0:09:17
spk_2
 

I remember. That was a

0:09:18
spk_0
 

hard time. Yes. Play itself out. You Some

0:09:23
spk_2
 

people, they just say no physically, you're not fit enough, you know, But no harm. No foul

0:09:27
spk_3
 

for me, it was about my morals. and honor system said your dishonorable man. So I said, Hell, I'll go in there and do it myself. Go

0:09:38
spk_0
 

in there and do it yourself. So you have a militant more solo? Yeah. You went to Vietnam 35 years too late.

0:09:47

By who? Immediately, How fast

0:09:54
spk_2
 

between wheels down and capture,

0:09:56
spk_3
 

uh, wheels down is already very nice of you to receive.

0:10:01
spk_0
 

So the plane was making an approach to capture

0:10:07
spk_3
 

The plane was making an approach, and I was on a plane with a bunch of POWs coming back for the first time. And they captured May Levi's American POWs captured.

0:10:20
spk_2
 

They said, Don't do what you're gonna dio

0:10:22
spk_3

0:10:24
spk_0

spk_2
 

He's a maverick.

0:10:29

spk_0
 

Who was controlling you? You're indicator doing rocket sockem robots on the plane.

0:10:43
spk_3

0:11:34
spk_3
 

Way. Come out.

0:11:38
spk_1
 

Oh, yeah. Uh, guys were so excited to have this guest here. He's a good friend of ours. Ah, real good guy, Honestly. Just a beautiful man. He's a friend of ours. Back from Hamilton High School. He was the sailing instructor at Hamilton, and his name is Commodore Jack's. Lee

0:11:57
spk_0
 

Yeo. So, everyone. Where do I sit here? That's when you take the middle Commodore in the middle. Yeah, you're steering the ship, so I'm forced to look back and forth with space. Yeah, I tell you this.

0:12:22
spk_1
 

Let me tell you this. Commodore you're gonna have a lot coming at you from all angles. Constantly and probably at the same time. So get your ass ready.

0:12:29
spk_0
 

All right. No way. We're good sharer. Yeah, we share the state we share, and it's grounded.

0:12:37
spk_2
 

Commodore of the hell are you?

0:12:39
spk_4
 

Normal? I'm normal. And lately things were going great with sailing team. Yeah, that's good. And they're going to get even greater because we're adding motors this year. Regulation of the boats with motors is

0:12:58
spk_1
 

this regulation. I mean, the sailing team, you know, that is wind powered. Uh, voting.

0:13:04
spk_0
 

That's good. That's swim power boating along the terms. Do sales.

0:13:10
spk_1
 

I've sailed before in my life. Tell

0:13:13
spk_0
 

me about it. That's a lie. No, come

0:13:16
spk_1
 

on. You don't think I've sailed? Very. Are Jackie's

0:13:19
spk_0
 

it? Hey, common. Or how well he knows the terms said

0:13:24
spk_1
 

I said the name waste voting. What? There's nothing else to prove. What, you want to show you? Pictures on my

0:13:32
spk_0
 

skiff skiff that it's called a cell phone, huh? Self. You can't pull up pictures on

0:13:39
spk_4
 

a boat bill. A skiff is a type of boot

0:13:43
spk_0
 

things. Guy knows his stuff. Well, Howard, that gracious commands ungracious guys sticking out tongues? No, fellows. What? Sam, you're not even involved in this? No, Please don't do this. Take of you, Not Hey, you know what? I scared. You know what you win always wins.

0:14:13
spk_2
 

So now you're putting motors in these boats? Yeah. This is just

0:14:16
spk_4
 

you put you put a motor on a boat, not

0:14:19
spk_2
 

Excuse me. I don't know much about it. Surely this was to get in and out of the dock. And then once you're out sailing and competition, they'll sail. They'll turn on the motors

0:14:28
spk_4
 

off. Well, no. I mean, the whole idea of the motors is to give us an edge.

0:14:34
spk_1
 

So your your your performance enhancing your boats

0:14:38
spk_4
 

if you like. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. These air pe's these air performance enhancing engines. Yeah, that we're using. And I feel like that's gonna that's gonna put us over. The top would be quite

0:14:50
spk_0
 

so few. That's called I'm the Commodore. Not yes,

0:14:56
spk_4
 

that I used to being interrupted. Yes. So few of the schools in the district have sailing teams and the one other school that we ever have a competition with, you know, they have that ocean liner, and I think That's unfair, right?

0:15:14
spk_1
 

I do. Dio I think that's crazy.

0:15:16
spk_4
 

And they put sales up on it. But I feel like I feel like there's something else that's powering that boat because it's massive. It's like a city.

0:15:24
spk_0
 

Yeah, yeah, it crosses the finish line just sitting there, getting to the Oh, it's not problematically. A sailboat nudges it forward, so raises over.

0:15:41
spk_2
 

Do you think your small sailboats with these little engines will compete?

0:15:45
spk_4
 

Now? I didn't say what size the engines are. That's interesting, Sam. Okay, because these engines, you say they're little, but they're small,

0:15:54
spk_1
 

big, big, obvious distinction.

0:15:56
spk_2
 

I'm eating my word

0:15:57
spk_4
 

in the sailing world. He got Sam.

0:16:00
spk_2
 

Yeah, I gotta get my one word.

0:16:02
spk_0
 

What Comet are I scared you?

0:16:09
spk_4
 

You should be Because, Bill, I'll kill Julia

0:16:14
spk_1
 

Keel. You'll kill us.

0:16:16
spk_4
 

Why did you kill Hall you or kill all you? What did you hear?

0:16:20
spk_3
 

I heard I heard a little bit of both.

0:16:22
spk_0
 

I don't wait, Todd, I don't know what one of those is key. Oh ho! Kill

0:16:30
spk_2
 

hall. A keel haul is when you tie someone up to the boat and dragged them from the keel, usually drowning them to death,

0:16:37
spk_4
 

usually usually, but oftentimes teaching them a valuable lesson about seamanship and politeness.

0:16:45
spk_0
 

If they survive you five, which they often do, here's what you do. You tie the guy up or girl, let's meet our why May is your sexist No, I am not sexist. You're not sexy.

0:17:01
spk_2
 

Wouldn't tie up a woman because she was a woman. You know what I mean?

0:17:04
spk_0
 

That is sexist, Howard. What if she did something really bad? Yeah, You have to tie her up. You're being sexy. Changing.

0:17:13
spk_1
 

Tie her up at me for two. Don't enable this, Everybody.

0:17:22
spk_4
 

Look, there are many instances where it's OK to tie. Woman. Maybe I'm a gentleman of the old school

0:17:30
spk_0
 

train. Jags train tracks if you want. If you won't pay a rent crime, she's late on her rent. Their train tracks nearby. You'll get that read

0:17:39
spk_4
 

if she's aware. Wolf, listen. Yeah, I need you to tie me up, no matter what I say. Don't release me from this room, okay? If she's, uh what? Go ahead. Go ahead. Well, joke's on you. I got nothing.

0:17:56
spk_3
 

I don't think it will be satisfying good cause, but let's say you're in a basketball game with their and you both go for the ball at the same time and you're both holding. It's a jump ball that you're tied up. Yeah, I think that would have been equally unsatisfying if I had said it right away.

0:18:14
spk_4
 

History will be, uh,

0:18:16
spk_0
 

I like that because there's a basketball out here. Proof proof that there's just certain

0:18:25
spk_3
 

things you couldn't indicate to an audience with words that you have to let them

0:18:29
spk_4
 

see. Almost like That was a joke for the basketball. You like this?

0:18:35
spk_2
 

Levin is 11. That Wilson.

0:18:39
spk_1
 

It's funny how Bill you came out with that basketball as if it was a really important thing. And now it's just tossed aside behind us, not even featured at all. Most people in the audience probably can't even see you

0:18:50
spk_0
 

feature the basketball. Somebody does objects. Yeah, feature. Good feature. Good feature. Get enough. There's a toll man over there. Threw it right back. Today is to get right back at you. We're seeing No, no, no. You come back. You know, he had that coming

0:19:20
spk_2
 

here. He's got a mic over there. He wants to come out bad.

0:19:22
spk_1
 

Hey. Hey. Said we told him No, no. Uh, Commodore, a lot of people are saying that that sort of stooping to the level of sort of souping up your boat soup, the soup stooping to soup is not an honorable thing. Yeah, you're gonna be

0:19:39
spk_3
 

stoop to soup if you're eating a soup on and stooped down to eat it. That's right. But you know, it comes to sailing.

0:19:50
spk_0
 

Why did you just pick the soup up? It's districts. Strongest man on earth. Dad, you're so weak. So you can I saw you get weighed down by a ministro knee the other day. Yeah,

0:20:07
spk_3
 

yeah, yeah, they gave me. Well, first of all, I was hoping they would at least give me one of those lighter spoons. But now one of

0:20:13
spk_1
 

those lighter spoons talking about

0:20:16
spk_3
 

pick up a spoon and you got to be pumping iron Schwarzenegger to get it to your mouth. You know the ones, the ones that you screw PETA lobster with

0:20:24
spk_2
 

those tiny food market. What's that? The smallest spoon on the market Black market.

0:20:33
spk_0
 

Now you guys know a pirate, right? Yeah. Yeah, Well, look at your dress. So that's

0:20:39
spk_4
 

why that's why this is no big deal to me putting an engine in a Ah, I'm a black market, which I'm very familiar with their spoons so light that you have to hold them down to you. Wow.

0:20:56
spk_3
 

Wow. There's anti gravity boots.

0:20:59
spk_4
 

They defy gravity. I would say they're anti gravity. They support it. They're in favor

0:21:04
spk_1
 

of their favor of gravity. But they just, you know, are are an interesting

0:21:09
spk_0
 

Yeah, there's that spoons. They are organized,

0:21:11
spk_4
 

their disinterested in

0:21:12
spk_3
 

gravity. Okay, right. That makes two of us.

0:21:17
spk_2
 

Because it told you down too much.

0:21:19
spk_3
 

Yeah. I say 9.8 meters for shut up. Miles or meters? Meters. You're OK. Uh, a zai. I'm sorry. I didn't know that you were a pirate. I think I had a stereotypical image of pirates in my mind. I

0:21:33
spk_4
 

was waiting until I was 10 years to reveal

0:21:35
spk_3
 

it. Oh, So how long until you're 10 years is a pirate? Another 15 years.

0:21:41
spk_2
 

So you were waiting, but you just figured Never mind

0:21:44
spk_4
 

continued. Or is it as a a teacher? Okay, I got you your There's nothing they can do. I reveal him a pirate. I've killed men.

0:21:51
spk_0
 

Yeah, well, I know what a compare it does classically back in the day. You know what? The plane. It's great, by the way. Terrific. Thank you very much. This is a way. Really good one. Thank you. It's a good one. Thank you so much. You don't

0:22:07

0:31:51
spk_4
 

going a different way?

0:31:52
spk_1
 

Yeah, I had I didn't force anybody to write questions down. I just sort

Dear Howard, thank you so much for opening up your mailbox to the world and helping to normalize sexual idiosyncrasies. More man like you have dealt with their sexual issues in a healthy way. Should be speaking up anyway,

0:34:30
spk_0
 

You wrote this, huh? Europe? I came from

0:34:34
spk_1
 

someone. My question is, is it normal to experience emotions other than joy when getting intimate with your partner? For example, the last time I orgasm instead of shouting Oh, yeah, or yee hah! I just started softly crying. I wasn't sad. Or at least I didn't feel sad. It was almost like wires got crossed in my brain. And instead of feeling euphoria, I felt the same way. I feel when my friends make fun of me, almost like I'm ashamed of just existing anyway. Appreciate your answer. Love, Beavis, Monroe, Seattle.

0:35:13
spk_0
 

Even think of a person's name who is not a cartoon, that this is like a do. Mrs. Ramirez was my Commodore. Your question. I

0:35:25
spk_2
 

see you're friends with Howard.

0:35:26
spk_0

0:35:29
spk_1
 

Really? There's another Howard Levis, who spells his last name like the jeans with an apartment. And

0:35:34
spk_4

0:35:39
spk_3
 

Well, just it's all

0:35:53
spk_0
 

Oh, good, good. Well, Howard, Well, anyway, yeah, Howard, I think that I

0:36:07
spk_4

spk_0
 

I feel happy. Yeah.

0:36:12
spk_2
 

And do you have a group of friends whose routinely mean to you as well?

0:36:19
spk_0
 

Every time I Liggett, Sam, his hair is fully different. It's a full new do that way. We got eighties Travolta going on right now. That's a new do. I like

0:36:34
spk_3
 

a regular head of hair that could change in the moment based on how you're feeling

0:36:37
spk_2
 

being the shame. Take the rug off.

0:36:39
spk_1
 

Uh, well, since you're here, uh, way handsome, we can maybe give you advice in real time. Yeah, I think that's normal.

0:36:48
spk_0
 

Right? Well, that's normal. What makes

0:36:51
spk_3
 

it more eyes that the word normal is not welcome in the bedroom? Uh, you know, everybody has their different idiosyncratic sees. And if you're going to shame them, do it outside of the bedroom. So they don't feel bad

0:37:07
spk_4
 

about one of its of thing that you don't want to do. But it happens to you. That's not really idiosyncrasy.

0:37:14
spk_3
 

Okay, So decrying. You're saying Yes. Okay. Um, I

0:37:20
spk_2
 

don't

0:37:20
spk_3
 

know. I might recommend seeing Ah, therapist and old sex therapist. Which one?

0:37:25
spk_0
 

Todd, Your therapist is a mannequin.

0:37:29
spk_3
 

Okay, listen, uh, we could talk therapy all day. I brought I brought a play that deals with some of my therapy, so we'll get into that later. Yeah,

0:37:39
spk_2
 

your advice for this person is I think that's normal.

0:37:43
spk_1
 

Yeah, Beavis, I think that's normal. Uh, that's

0:37:47
spk_2
 

not very good. He wrote. The question was so much longer. Okay,

0:37:50
spk_1
 

Beavis, I think you're fine. Uh, you sound like you're doing good, But

0:37:57
spk_4
 

what do you mean it though? Because the way you're saying it seems sarcastic.

0:38:01
spk_1
 

I mean it, period. Uh, with the next one, the next question, Dear Howard, again, it's

0:38:11
spk_3
 

here. Howard again. Isn't another question from Beavis?

0:38:14
spk_0
 

Uh, should be. Now I'll

0:38:20
spk_1
 

say this. I'll say this. I don't think it was But it for sure, is now. It's really spectacular what you're doing to make guys who have weird sex histories feel better about themselves. I know I, for one, see a guy like you who worked through all his dysfunction and is now a big time sex player as an inspiration. Six player. And I think it's so cool that you have so much sex all the time, even more than your friends, you're cool. Anyway, my question is this. The power dynamic in a relationship seems to be very tricky, and I time finding the happy medium. Sometimes when my girlfriend asked me to sleep on the floor instead who are king size bed, I feel like she's exercising her power in an unhealthy way. What I would like is for us to sleep in the same bed. But of course, that's a lot to ask of a partner. Any advice? Uh, any advice on how to approach this subject without ending up in the doghouse? Literally. Anyway, appreciate your answer. Love. It is but be is Miss Monroe from Seattle. Object in again, even though I thought the joke originally was gonna be funny

0:39:33
spk_4
 

before we get into this. Let me just say I was kidding around. That first letter was not mine. I obviously was joking and maybe didn't fully grasp.

0:39:42
spk_0
 

Right thing is true. It's just not anymore. Not gonna change. Truth is

0:39:54
spk_1
 

food. And sometimes the new truth is funnier than the old

0:39:57
spk_0
 

trigger. I don't know. It feels like you're writing those. I'm beginning to suspect. Now you are writing these Jason Commodore Jackson wrote these around. Now you wrote, um I have a lot

0:40:12
spk_3
 

of emails to to self help people in column to start with long sentences, talking about how good that person is, praising the

0:40:21
spk_1
 

Let's not obsess over who wrote it and get to the actual advice of the peace established. I did not write that 1st 3 kicked out of battle onto the hard floor sometimes, and he wants to know how they could broach that subject with his partner. Ah, in a way that doesn't get him kicked out of that house.

0:40:40
spk_3
 

Okay, well, as a man who's been in on Lea Loveless marriages thistles good. I have a lot of experience with this, and I find that if the two greatest words that every man should learn our I'm sorry. Uh, why

0:40:57
spk_1
 

are you saying it was a weird attitude?

0:40:59
spk_2
 

Because women love it. Women love to hear That is all we

0:41:12
spk_3
 

want to hear. Sometimes ladies

0:41:14
spk_0
 

way like it, Teoh. Like someone said, The

0:41:26
spk_4
 

apology. Love to apologize to because it's someone admitting a weakness. And they're granting you the higher status. Yeah, that's exactly right. Yes. Yes, it's primal.

0:41:36
spk_1
 

Eso just say I'm sorry and great.

0:41:39
spk_4
 

Awesome. Just I'm sorry. Keep doing

0:41:41
spk_0
 

things as they are. Yes. It sounds like you're fine. Way the doghouse, though. What? You see the doghouse? You haven't had a dog in years. You haven't

0:41:51
spk_2
 

had a relationship

0:41:52
spk_1
 

in years again. Yeah. Yes, I have tons of them. I'm cleaning up. Um, the last relationship you were in just I was in a relationship with a dominatrix named Mistress Trina.

0:42:05
spk_0
 

Okay, that was the last one. Have you had a relationship? He had any data? Anything recently you could talk about This still is about one day and and will decide if that was

0:42:14
spk_1
 

a really OK. Well, uh, the other day, I went to the public library. Okay. Bad start. Uh huh. I learned at the start. Uh, but then. Anyway, I was looking through the young adult fiction books. Uh, Jesus Christ

0:42:30

0:43:14
spk_0
 

It's just made it. What made

0:43:15
spk_4
 

it so difficult to find the Harry Potter section of the young adult fiction section?

0:43:23
spk_1
 

Probably my own stupidity. Uh, but I try

0:43:29
spk_0
 

for yourself. That's

0:43:39
spk_2
 

your call. Um, but I think we're done with it.

by Theodore Padres just playing several acts. Parentheses could be a movie with a few changes. Close parentheses. Exterior. City Day. We open on the interior of a city building at night. It's an apartment building. To be specific. Our main character, Todd Padre, sits in his apartment. His extremely shattered life spread around him. His razor phone rang. Rig MiGs. He uses his hands to open the phone. Let's Todd split stage. We see Todd Therapists on the other end. If this is a movie, we cut to the therapist office or we could do split screen to, I'll be directing. So no worries.

There's a knock on the door. Todd uses his feet to walk to the door that opens it with one of his hands. You're surprised to see his ex wife Angela on the other side?

Angela, my ex wife. Why am I not surprised? Can I come in? It's raining cats and dogs outside. I noticed it was raining extremely hard all day. Yeah. The weather report said there was only a 20% chance of rain.

Have you noticed this meteorologist jobs and nobody holds them accountable I mean, can you imagine if you were a detective and you weren't and you were that inconsistent at your job?

What an interesting observation. Todd, do you mind if I use it? Why not? Since you're so used to using me, Todd, that's why I'm here. I wanted to apologize. Must be one of those days.

Look, women are crazy. You can say that again. Well, I live in a world where a man like you is a threat because everyone is so stuck in their scared ways. They're afraid you're going to shake things up. I know that's what my problem was. Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. No, it's true. Remember when I came home after working that 10 hour shift when I was pregnant and found you watching the best of Charlie Rose and you told me it was for research? Yes, I was writing a play about a good interviewer, and I told you that seeing you like that reminded me of seeing my father practically lifeless in front of the TV while my mother, brother and I did everything we could just to keep the family above water. Get to the point. If this was a play, the audience would be getting bored. Well, long story short. I realized the problem wasn't with you. It was with me. And I just want to apologize and say, If you'll have me back, I'm here. Got this is good, huh? I can't stay mad at you, baby.

The jazz music at this point is at a fever pitch. He slams the door. You broke my heart, Cravy. Now I break yours. Todd Todd sits down to finish his Trader Joe's authentic Mexican chimichanga. His daughter calls to apologize.
