0:00.0 | Merry Christmas, you guys. It's over. Welcome to R.A. Schaffer's Skeptic Tank, episode 93. Part B. |
0:09.0 | Noobs with Kevin Heiferner and Steve Lemmy. Do you guys have any Christmas? What do you say after Christmas? Do you still say Merry Christmas? |
0:17.0 | Like we did it. Or do you sort of, is it just like the 26 comes and then you're just done being nice and pleasant and having the Christmas spirit. It's all gone. |
0:28.0 | It seems like it's kind of like, you know when you hook up with some girl or some guy that's in your community, for me it'd be like a comedian or for you. |
0:36.0 | Maybe somebody at work or somebody from your post office or just someone you have to come in contact with a lot. |
0:41.0 | And then like the next day or two days later, because the next day maybe she slept over but the next day after that, then you run into her and you have to just act like nothing happened. |
0:53.0 | It's a super uber natural and act like, oh yeah, how are you doing? It's cool. Anything cool? Yeah, yeah, I'm just good weather. We're having, but you have to like ignore any of that stuff you just did the day before. |
1:07.0 | I feel, is that how Christmas is for you guys? Anyway, so I am in New York City, Brooklyn, New York actually to take my special. That's where I'm recording this intro. |
1:19.0 | So excited. Two days away. Two days away and I'll be able to take my first special. I'm really excited. |
1:26.0 | So, so that's it. I'm just, I'm, I like the city. I'm moving. It's so fucking cold though. It's so fucking cold. I'm still not used to dealing with this. It reminds me of that Bos Lerman song where it's advice for children, advice for graduates, something like that. |
1:44.0 | And then one of them was live in, live in Northern California, but leave before it makes you too soft and then live in New York, but leave before it makes you too hard. |
1:57.0 | I'm assuming Southern California is like Northern California because of the weather. All right, so let me just do some dates real quick and then we'll start the second half of this episode. |
2:06.0 | By the way, the first half was great. Second half is even more fun and ridiculous. I'm really glad these guys came in. They're really cool about everything. |
2:14.0 | So I'll do some dates. Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, January 16th through the 20th at the comic strip. |
2:25.0 | Then I'm in Chicago with Joe Rogan on the 25th and then Milwaukee at the Miramar Theater on the 26th of January. Everybody go to that. |
2:35.0 | Tickets are available on my website are either great.com. You can go that for all my tickets for everything. |
2:41.0 | Man, that's all I have in January, huh? And then February apparently it's not up on the website yet, but I am playing in Raleigh, North Carolina at Charlie Goodnights. |
2:51.0 | It should be up on the website, but somebody said it's not. I should have checked it. But I'm not that I'm not that together. |
2:59.0 | And then February 26th is my next storyteller show. No idea what the topic is going to be. If you guys have a have one, let me know on Twitter or write to me at contact at re. |
