What are the initial introductions and context of the podcast?
It's a pleasure being here with Unk and Layla.
I appreciate you guys. I'm just looking at you.
So I'm Unk, but you're not Auntie. Let's start with that. And that's fine.
It is also technically correct. I'm the oldest of my siblings.
I'm the oldest of my siblings. We're all childless. My siblings? Mine. Oh, you're all childless?
Yeah.
Oh, so I am an actual uncle.
I'm also the only one without a graduate degree in my family.
Which is, I would say, is you saving money, if we're being honest.
Way to spin that positive. Good job, Marshall. Good partner. Let me ask you a question. I know what I am.
I know my partner speaks.
Good job, good job. If one of my DePaul kiddos, like a recent graduate, referred to you as auntie, would that be offensive?
No. No. No, I have friends whose kids refer to me as that. No, no. I am of that age.
I just wanted to find out where the line was.
But I'm not fun enough. Let's be clear. It's a sign of respect. Fun auntie is like a compliment. No, but auntie is a compliment. I'm just like a person that exists.
Yeah, auntie is definitely a compliment. But let's be clear. The reason Clay called me uncle is because he couldn't call me daddy. Because I'm really his daddy.
What humorous anecdotes do the hosts share about family dynamics?
Okay. That took a turn. I was not... Psychologically? Spiritually? Psychologically and spiritually.
We joke about having custody that we have to split of Clay with David because... Well, because as you know, Marshall... Marshall always claims to have brought clay into the world. So then that just became a whole, like, terminology in and of itself.
Well, it's because you're an obstetrician, right?
You're a part-time obstetrician. Try to be. It's not working out. You know, the meme that I use for my business is that one kid, remember in the white lab coat that got... I think he went to jail, didn't he?
Yes, for faking being a doctor. Down in Florida.
Multiple times. He tried it multiple times. What? I don't know about this.
There's this guy that was basically like, I'm Doogie Howser. And then it turns out that he didn't even really finish high school, but was walking around and acting as if he was an actual doctor.
wow and he got busted yes many times he got busted they were like could you stop doing the thing where you're a doctor and he's like oh yeah totally next week back being a doctor sociopath is what i like to call that but yeah so marshall was essentially responsible for clay's media career and it wasn't even here so that just not his life though to be clear no but marshall talks to clay he's like i brought you here like
I brought him into this world. I'll take you out.
That's it. That's the element. We all love when our mentors talk to us like that.
We all enjoy that. I mean, that's kind of unk status, though. I would not call it dad status.
Clay was like, hey, are you guys watching basketball? And Marshall's like, you're working on a resume.
Malachi Love Robinson, back in 2023, was now 25 years old. But he'd been doing this since he was apparently 16 years old. Pretending to be a doctor.
The picture's amazing. He has his hand on his chin. What was working out?
How does the conversation transition to discussing the Cubs and Nico Hoerner?
What was he getting out of that? Was it self-esteem? Was it girls?
He was a sociopath.
Yeah, but he was getting something. Sense of value and place in the universe.
Sociopaths like to outsmart the system. You know, it's like all those people on Tiger King. They think they can outsmart nature. No, you can't. A tiger will eat you.
In the... For Persians, is auntie and uncle a thing?
I mean, but it's not the same, I don't think. But there is like a hale, which is like, that's often referred to as like a woman your mom's age who is like a friend. It's like a term of endearment. Say it again. Hale. I don't really know. Like sometimes there are words that I can't translate, even though Farsi is not a language I speak fluently and English is definitely my first and only language. Like there are times where just like, You know words in a different language, but you don't necessarily know how to translate them well enough.
And they also are imbued with meaning that doesn't fully translate.
