Kate, thanks for coming.
Thanks for having- suddenly I'm like, where do the girls put their purses?
Do I just have it here?
What if I have to touch up?
You're the first one we've ever had on the show.
I know.
Hey, we're gonna get into that, by the way.
Thanks for coming, bud.
So happy to be here.
Thrilled to have you.
To join.
Yes.
We're taking a little jaunt here, beautiful weather here in Los Angeles.
Today's particularly beautiful, I should say.
Yeah, and we're spending it podcasting.
That's what's nice.
You want to be inside in the artificial glow.
Shut out the light.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In beautiful Greece.
I know.
I've never been.
Never been to Greece.
Top three list for me of where I want to go.
You gotta go.
What, you're half Spanish?
I pass for- people think I'm from Greece sometimes.
100% you could be Greek.
I pass Italian.
No, no, no.
Lord knows I pass Jew.
Yeah.
I am, 'cause I am.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So many people would go, you're Jewish, yeah?
And I go, okay, let's relax.
Yes, I am.
It's like, come on, have that thought in your head.
Yeah, but Mediterranean.
Yeah.
No, for sure.
You could definitely go Mediterranean.
Well, my mom, my mom is Spanish, so Spanish and then also just Jew.
Sure, sure.
And in that mix, you get Greek.
Honestly, you mix Spanish and Jew, you do get, you do get Greek.
Absolutely.
It's like the color.
Remember they would teach you colors as a little kid?
Mm-hmm.
Like green and yellow make blue?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get fed that on my Instagram feed and it's like, where it's just like paints
being mixed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like it's just like, you put this, I think it's it, and.
Yeah.
It is calming.
I like it.
Oh, God.
Mine is pathetic.
I don't even want to tell people.
It's exactly, I mean, the amount that I go to search for something on Instagram
and it's
just some woman who doesn't even have like real proportions.
Yeah.
Like looks like an anime person.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's real life.
And it's just like, I'm just like, they're just like doing a chore but their tits
are bouncing.
I'm like.
Yeah.
Who, what friend was I going to DM?
I literally, it's so sad.
I get some of those.
It's so sad.
And I'm like, it has happened to me legitimately like 40 times in a row.
Yeah.
And I, I'm like, what the, and I'll just, it just, it's so pathetic where you're
like,
oh, I'm a fucking caveman.
I can't help it.
I'm one of the dumbest guys alive.
And the, the, the algorithm is getting me fully.
And those, I know when it hits you, your exact interest.
I get like, like I, I opened it up yesterday and it was like a couple, both no
legs, like
in first class.
And I was like, that is kind of what I want to see.
Yeah.
Because I get like, you know, people with like crazy, like, you know, like
stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're just dancing.
And they're doing makeup.
Yeah.
You know what?
Yeah.
Look at her.
Good for you.
Yeah.
The internet's like, go ahead.
Say something about it.
Yeah.
Or fights.
Fighting, I get a lot on Twitter.
Mm-hmm.
Not a lot of fight videos on Instagram.
What is that?
They don't like violence.
They'll throw titties out there.
They'll throw, you know.
But no, yeah.
No violence.
Yeah.
What's going on there?
Let's get fights back in.
Interesting.
Yeah.
The internet was built on bum fights.
Drive-through fights.
Drive-through fights.
Waffle House.
Waffle House fights.
Classic stuff.
Have you seen, I, I get the same video over and over and then I watch it every
time.
Mm-hmm.
And that's why they keep feeding it to me.
Mm-hmm.
Where it's like, you know, it's like a guy in court goes after his mother's
murder.
And it's him like running the whole family's like.
Oh, shit.
And every time my adrenaline, I go, I go, guys, I've already seen this.
Yeah.
I watch it again.
Yeah, let's see it again.
And I get a little hit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're like, that's fucking awesome.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good for you, man.
Fuck that guy.
Yeah.
I know, I love, I know, I love seeing revenge happen.
Yeah.
It's nice.
But the fake ones, the act outs where it's like, there's a lot of those on the
plane now
where it's like, hey, it's like a guy like, and then you, it's clearly
completely
a fabrication.
Yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
You're just going like, this is not okay.
Fake.
No, no, people are responding.
Oh, they believe, they buy it.
A lot of them they buy.
Interesting.
Yeah.
It's funny when you see people who clearly have rented a fake private plane or
like a plane
set.
Yes, exactly.
They're all empty.
Exactly.
I just saw one of those.
I was not, were you an early internet user?
Did you get it?
Because we didn't have the internet in my family.
We were a dial up family.
Yeah.
And I didn't get it till late.
And I'm like, you know, my first, it was all AOL, you know, but we didn't get
it till
late.
Same.
Dial up for sure.
And yeah, I mean, I didn't, I guess I signed up for Facebook when I was 18.
Oh, wow.
Fresh.
Right?
As soon as you get to college, you get that fake.
I remember thinking Facebook, I was like, nah, I'm going to put my face.
I'm making fun of my, making fun of my cousin who was like in college.
I was like, you fucking idiot.
You dumb bitch.
You put your name and your face on there.
They're going to steal your identity.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And that was like.
I still harbor like deep superstitious, like my relationships technology is so
superstitious
and it's like very, like I don't, for example, we'll get into it.
Let's get into it.
Maybe if I want to.
Okay.
Tease.
I did my first Kate Berlant public one star Google review.
Oh, you did your own?
Yeah.
Or you got your own?
I reviewed a business.
Oh, with your name.
You don't even have a burner?
You use your fucking name?
That's awesome.
By the way, it's completely earnest.
Honestly, huge respect.
I want everyone to know if my, if my laughing seems strange, I'm having my very
first adult
TMJ flare up.
Oh, sorry to hear it.
So laughter and smiling, it's like actually kind of hurting.
Is it bad?
Wow.
You're playing through the pain.
Well, here's what I'll fucking say.
Please.
The cause of my jaw pain is the stress that was induced by a faulty business
interaction.
Oh, that's what the one star gets.
Yes.
Beyond.
Oh my God.
Will you say the business or you don't want, let's put him on blast?
Of course.
By the way, a couple of days ago, I went, cause I'll just say this.
I'm going to get, I'm deciding in real time, I'm going to tell you everything.
I love it.
I love it.
And don't get too excited.
At your own pace.
At your own pace.
About two days of me really being obsessed about this.
And then I go, I'm releasing it.
I go, it's not good.
Sure.
And karmically, you know, I go.
Of course.
And I was telling my friend, cause it was business, I'd called nine times and
they had
called me back and they blocked me.
But the point is, my friend goes, she was like, it's bad.
You're texting them.
One of the guys that works there looks down at his phone, he's driving, he dies.
Right?
Oh, wow.
It's kind of like, okay.
And I was like, right.
Like, let it go.
And there's also the old, like, the only person you're hurting with a grudge is
yourself.
I know, I know.
You know, that, which I fully don't buy.
I love, I still love revenge.
Yeah.
This is how we started.
We like seeing that guy kill, punch his mom's murderer.
I would like to shoot him in the head.
Yeah.
Good.
No problem.
I mean, hello, now what's his head?
Yeah.
That was pretty cool.
Yeah.
That was honestly pretty cool.
The hot guy, taking him out.
Sexy assassin.
Yeah.
Yeah, hopefully.
Well, the official Stavis World stance is it's bad to kill CEOs.
Want that on the record?
Don't kill any healthcare CEOs.
An eye, an eye for an eye.
Yeah.
It leaves the whole world blind.
Oh, I know, but I'll just say.
So, this business wronged you.
I have been wronged by a chimney sweep.
Oh, a chimney sweep.
I have been, so hang on, some context.
Right.
I had, a couple of years ago.
Did you fucking travel back in time?
You don't travel to Victorian England?
So, a couple of years ago, I just want to say a couple of years ago, I had a
transcendent
chimney sweep experience.
How?
This guy.
So, this guy, whoever wronged you was also following an impossible standard, it
sounds
like.
Well, I go, if this were my first sweep, maybe I'd go.
Right.
I guess this is what getting a chimney sweep is like.
I've been through this before.
I've been through this before.
Yeah.
So, I'll just say.
Okay, this is what's interesting to me.
Yeah.
The guy called me on the phone.
I made the appointment with Mr. Chimney.
Hey guys.
Mr. Chimney.
Yeah.
Which by the way, if you look it up, their office is like a residence.
Like, it's scary.
Bad, bad sign.
When I take ownership for this, someone recommended to me the chimney guy.
I got it mixed and went, Mr. Chimney.
Oh, wow.
That is.
All these things.
It's like.
They knew what they were doing.
The chimney.
First of all, that should be illegal.
They're getting run off from the chimney guy.
Yeah.
The chimney guy's up here.
Mr. Chimney.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I knew there was a comedian, a really shitty, well, whatever you want to
say about
him.
There was a comedian who bought a website, RussellPeters.com, but one of the L's
was an upper
case, I, or some shit like that.
And he would.
Traffic.
And he would get traffic.
And he would pretend to be Russell Peters.
Wow.
And say, hey, I'm booked, but you should check out my boy, who's awesome.
Honest and genius.
He just didn't know Russell Peters at all.
That's amazing.
So anyway.
Yeah.
That's what I think the chimney guy, or.
Mr. Chimney.
I can't even keep him straight.
I know.
Mr. Chimney.
And I'll say, this is shit.
So my first time I scheduled with him, like the day after, they're like, my
technician's been
in a car accident.
He can't come.
And I texted back, oh my God, oh no, I'm so sorry.
Obviously, like get back to me whenever.
Yeah.
Didn't hear back the next day.
I go, that's a little interesting.
Didn't hear back the next day.
I go, I guess I'll call back.
Must be a bad accident.
That was my mistake.
I got back in.
Yeah.
I got back.
Well, here's what I was going to say.
The guy called me because he was early.
He's like, hi, I'm here early.
I was like, okay, I'll be there with, you know, like five minutes away.
Full body.
I don't like him.
I don't like it.
The second he gets in.
And I am a bit clairvoyant.
I had him full body.
I go, I don't trust him.
Something's off.
It's bad.
It's bad.
It's hard to describe it.
And I came there.
It wasn't anything he said.
It wasn't anything.
Just a general vibe issue.
I will say interesting note is that, okay, anyway.
He asked if my partner was Jewish, which I didn't really love.
And they're not.
Well, listen, my father's a contractor.
Any time a blue collar worker asks the religion of someone, not a good sign.
I grew up around these guys.
It wasn't because he's like, because I love that kind of person.
I love it.
It's never that.
He doesn't, he doesn't want to trade fucking dreidel stories.
Something, no.
He doesn't want to give you guilt.
There's no guilt.
No.
Disgust.
No.
And so I'll just say this.
This motherfucker cleans my chimn
