Full Episode
Happy New Year, man. Happy New Year. How did you spend it? Well, I have a two-and-a-half-year-old, so I'm guessing our New Years were a little bit different. I went to bed at 8.30 after a little dance party with my two-and-a-half-year-old little guy.
Okay, well, I had norovirus. I was in a three-piece tuxedo at the New York Athletic Club running back and forth from shitting my brains out in the toilet. So...
But you were in New York, so we were actually like a few miles apart, but we were having a very different experience. I could have been your toilet. Yeah, it could have been my toilet. Oh, we would have been asleep, so you would have to run.
Me and a two-and-a-half-year-old sharing a bathroom together at three in the morning. Yeah, we actually have someone that does that on a frequent basis, so you wouldn't have been alone. That's good. Just if you do have a stomach bug, my advice is don't wear an outfit that requires... three minutes to undo.
Have you ever seen the Family Guy episode where Peter gets the pajama pants that have the like trap door in the back? Yeah, you should have just worn one of those.
That would have been a solution. But the problem was that the guy at the front, the toilet attendant guy at the front must have thought, This man, I'm in an event filled with rich bankers and like dynasty money and all the rest of it. Probably quite a lot of cocaine going on. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. He must have looked at me and thought, that is the fucking king of cocaine. For sure.
That man is shoveling some good stuff in there. Because I was back and forth every seven minutes or so.
Was it one of those bathrooms that had like a person that would hand you a towel after you washed your hands?
Mercifully not.
