0.249 - 5.111 Chris Williamson

5.191 - 8.032 Unidentified

There's two lives out there. Is that it?

0

8.632 - 16.355 Andrew Schulz

Wait, did she have another show? They're not giving her more shows. With Love, brand new series. No way. Drops right now. She can't miss, bro. You only fail up.

0

16.715 - 18.916 Unidentified

You really only fail up. This is crazy.

0

19.236 - 40.917 Andrew Schulz

This is crazy. Have we started the pod? Yeah. Okay, we have? All right, this is fire. I just want to let everybody know that, you know, Chris usually spends a lot of money on sets. And I told him, I was like, save it. I said, don't rent out a warehouse or something aesthetically pleasing and have a whole team of cameras.

41.357 - 51.601 Andrew Schulz

I just have five Serbian guys set these things up here, throw some fleshlights in the back, and we'll be good. And I think we'll get the same thing across, okay?

51.721 - 55.042 Unidentified

You had a hard day. I shouldn't even bust your balls about this. Oh, we're living.

55.422 - 58.563 Chris Williamson

Well, look, did you versus Meghan Markle today? That's it. She's in next.

58.603 - 59.963 Unidentified

So what's her thing?

Chapter 2: What are Andrew Schulz's thoughts on fatherhood and IVF?

1789.555 - 1791.877 Chris Williamson

Yeah. I think that was one of the reasons that

0

1792.478 - 1817.911 Chris Williamson

your special again when i saw it last year and then again now it was really important to give people something that feels a bit more grounded real and meaningful and within their control yeah as opposed to coming out and going you know zelensky trump was the amber heard johnny depp of fucking 2025 uh which by the way i think is actually true like that reading should have fucking been done behind closed doors like why are the why the press they're watching this bullshit well they didn't think that's what was going to happen

0

1818.351 - 1832.38 Andrew Schulz

They thought it was going to be a big announcement for a mineral deal. Blah, blah, blah. Yeah, and then it didn't go that way. And I think that, yeah, that's my assumption at least. I don't think Trump would ever put something out there where it could potentially look foolish, right?

0

1832.68 - 1834.881 Chris Williamson

Didn't account for the wild card that is J.D. Vance.

0

1835.041 - 1852.451 Andrew Schulz

Yeah, I don't even think it was J.D. I think Zelensky was just like, he should have just never agreed to it. He's like, hey, I don't like this deal, so let's not get in front of the cameras and do it. And I like J.D. going, why are we litigating this in front of the American public? Yeah. Like that felt a little subversive and I could see like a negative reaction on it.

1852.491 - 1857.833 Andrew Schulz

Like we're here to have a hurrah, let's high five moment. And this turned into not that.

1858.793 - 1861.354 Chris Williamson

So maybe let's not do it here.

1861.695 - 1865.016 Andrew Schulz

Yeah. And JD, JD, you gotta, Hey, watch out for that motherfucker. Yo.

1865.896 - 1866.816 Chris Williamson

He's going to be around for a while.
