  2. Matt Apodaca· Guest0:02

    Uh, ish. Yeah, like, what... I, I guess- Okay ... not to give you, like, a LA answer, but for what?

  3. Chris Plante· Host0:09

    I was just thinking that maybe we could do, like, kind of like a work lunch, like a work lunch- Oh ... um, at, uh, California Pizza Kitchen.

  4. Matt Apodaca· Guest0:15

    [laughs] There we go. No, that's really good. Yeah. No, I'll- [laughs] I can get... I... As long as I can order a w- white pizza with bacon and a peach lemonade, I'm all in, baby.

  5. Chris Plante· Host0:25

    [laughs] Oh, yeah. Good. Good. And, and, and, uh, uh, the only bad thing is- [laughs] ... you know how it is out here, the waiters, they're just so laissez-faire. I wonder if they'll ever get around to pick up the check.

  6. Matt Apodaca· Guest0:37

    Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, yeah. They're so... They're kinda just, like, doing their own thing almost. It's almost like the, that work at the restaurant is secondary to their main thing, which is almost- [laughs] ... not taking care of me at all. Yeah. No, no, no.

  12. Justin McElroy· Host1:04

    No, I, no, it wasn't weird at all.

  13. Chris Plante· Host1:05

    No, I liked it.

  14. Justin McElroy· Host1:06

    I liked it. It felt accessible to me.

  15. Matt Apodaca· Guest1:07

    Can we go do a TV taping afterward?

  16. Chris Plante· Host1:08

    [laughs] Yeah. Oh, yeah. Do you think that they can give us some, like, really stale pizza and not let us take a piss for four hours?

  17. Justin McElroy· Host1:15

    [laughs] Nice.

  18. Matt Apodaca· Guest1:16

    Yeah, so we're gonna go eat pizza, and then get free pizza at a TV taping.

    Right, right, right, right, right. [laughs] This is great. This is great.

  20. Justin McElroy· Host1:21
