Pop's Bishop is here. Mike. He hasn't been here since the Orange Couch days. Oh, really? I've shown him around. He's like, wow, this is really impressive. I mean, you know, we get used to it because we see it every day. But he's like, this is amazing.
That's nice.
He didn't say that, but his face said it. No, he's very impressed.

Chapter 2: How does the family dynamic influence discussions?
You don't hassle us. We won't hassle you. We won't have any curfews or homework or timeouts or there'll be nothing like that. And in exchange for none of that, there'll be no money and no college and no food. Go have fun. And so we just ran around. You reached an agreement early. Yes. Now it is. It has turned about to the point where we have essentially become slaves for the kids.
It has completely gone the other way around.
Is this true, Sunny?
In a way.
Yeah. Give me an example. All right. Where's your mom today?
In Irvine, she had to get up at 5.15 in the morning to drive my sister to volleyball with her friend.
In Irvine. Okay. Nothing. My parents didn't have a... I didn't know where Irvine was when I grew up out here because that was considered out of range.
Oh, yeah.
You'd heard tale of Irvine, but getting... I don't even know that... I heard tail with whispering in the wind. An old guy with a beard down his knees and a staff and a robe would talk to me about Irvine and this. So she's at Irvine. Yeah. Yeah. Because my mom had a VW square back that would get vapor lock if it got on the freeway. Like we didn't have that kind of range, but she's in Irvine.

Chapter 3: What are the plans for the upcoming sports events?
Check the DVD box. And don't worry. I will supply you with DVD players. At this point, I was making money. And she's like, all right. And then we went. And it was like two months later. And the screeners started rolling in. They're all VHS tapes. And I was like, Grandma, they're all VHS. She's like, yeah. And I was like, what about the DVD box? She's like, I didn't check it. W-N-O.
I was like, okay. Why do I talk? I have no idea why I speak, but okay. All right.
Wait, did you still end up buying the DVD player?
That would be a cruel joke. Yeah. I bought it, and I lit it on fire like Jimi Hendrix.
You should have sold it for more money.
Flip it. I should have flipped it. No, I never bought it because the deal was when the movies start coming in, I'll get you a DVD player. But we never switched formats.
It was to entice Grandma to...
So they like writing. They like the Oscars and they like like all that kind of stuff. And for me, I was like, well, you like football and wrestling and chucking dirt clods and making and riding your BMX bike and working on your bike and riding wheelies and doing all this stuff. They have no interest in any of that. So I guess that's it.
I mean, I guess the reason they have no interest in what you're doing is because they have no interest in the things that you're doing. They don't like football. They don't like BMX. They don't like all that crap. And then later on, that gave way to, I love cars. I'm a gear head. And it's like, well, we hate cars. We're non, we're non gear heads.

The News with Gina Grad.
So, you know, a few days ago we talked about Larry Nassar, the doctor for the Olympic team that is now charged with molesting hundreds of girls, gymnasts. Yeah. Well, the entire USA Gymnastics Board will resign now in the wake of the scandal stemming from the sexual abuse of all these athletes by former Dr. Larry Nassar. That's according to CNBC and The Washington Post.
Nassar, he was the former gymnastic sports doctor. He's pleaded guilty to molesting girls and young women. was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison. Now, some of the nation's top gymnasts, including Olympians Ali Raisman, Simone Biles, you know, household names, said they were among victims and that cleaning out the entire USA gymnastics board is just a start.
The Olympics are kind of a metaphor for how big everything, just international, big everything just always goes south. It gets corrupt. Whenever you see any stories about Olympic and international and how they pick the cities and how they choose the this, it's always a big corrupt mess. It's always going to be a big corrupt mess.
That is systemic. I mean, it's in every bit of the whole thing.
Yeah, it's it's my kind of argument for like human nature. That's just this is international human nature. This is this country is better than most. A lot of the countries that are part of the international whatever. Their sort of thing is like if you're not trying to scam somebody, you're an idiot. You're weak. You're a sucker if you're not scamming the person.
So now we'll just do the Olympics version of that. And it could go no other way.
And the city for the Olympics is awarded to the best scammers. Yeah, exactly.

Chapter 7: What are the challenges of interviewing childhood heroes?
And I was there to do the Rolling Stone interview, which is the career retrospective. And there was all this shit he did not want to go over again. And I literally just got into like a little argument with my hero, which was very uncomfortable. What year was this? This was Spike when he had Veronica. And I'm pretty new to Rolling Stone.
Chapter 8: How does the discussion shift to the impact of celebrity relationships?
And the next day I had broken his spirit and he gave me the interview I wanted. And it was amazing. I weirdly feel I just wrote the thing with him for the McCartney tribute where we did like a little tribute to Paul. But my real, and let's put it out there in the ether, I'm pretty sure I introduced him to his wife, Diana Krall. Oh, really?
I believe they met at the Grammys when they presented together. And it was literally, I remember going, Elvis, do you know Diana? And I think that's when they met. It would be a more charming story if he wasn't already with someone at the time, but it's still charming.
I judge people by how I think they would judge me. And I think Elvis Costello would think I was a buffoon. And I also think Michael Stipe would think I was an asshole. So I don't like them automatically.
Based on my knowledge of those two, you're only half right. I believe Elvis would love you. Oh, really? He loves the quick-witted and no one is quicker in the wit than you.
But we'd never get to my nougaty center through my thick candy shell.
I will get Elvis in here. I know Elvis.
Michael Stipe, I'm sure hates me.
He hates me. I am a big R.E.M. fan. The minute I met him, I couldn't. He was so a freak.
Why do I hate? I hate him from a thousand miles away. Like when I fly over Georgia, I'm like, oh, God. I hate my. And I like the band. And I've never even spoke to the man. And I know I hate him. Is it the scarf? Yes. That's part of it.
