Nick and Marc talk about those changes, as well as the artwork of his wife Lily Kwong, the trip to Italy he made for his new movie I Don’t Understand You, and the fulfillment of creating eight seasons of Big Mouth.

1010.139 - 1018.31 Marc Maron

I'll be there and I'll pay for it. I'll be there in money. Yeah, they have to ship him back to New Jersey. Das ist, was er will.

0

1018.39 - 1022.392 Nick Kroll

Wirklich? Ja. Er will in Jersey geboren werden? Ja. Ist das ein Zementar? Ist das ein Familienzementar?

0

1022.432 - 1031.557 Marc Maron

Ich glaube, ja. Von meinen Großeltern. Ja. Da draußen. Und ich glaube, es gibt ein paar von ihnen da draußen. Seine Frau kümmert sich nicht um mich. Sie sagt, wenn ich weg bin, kümmere ich mich um mich.

1031.657 - 1032.978 Nick Kroll

Oh, das ist schön.

1032.998 - 1033.899 Marc Maron

Ja. Das ist, was wir tun.

1033.919 - 1035.56 Nick Kroll

Geht das in den Kompost?

1035.6 - 1053.502 Marc Maron

Sie haben das jetzt, Alter. Ja, ja, ja. Das ist verrückt. Ja. You can literally just go get a, you can go get compost. Yeah, mushroom sack. But it's crazy, like it's because they show it. Like they have a whole process where, you know, you literally, they let you decay and then they grind you up into soil.

1053.582 - 1063.316 Nick Kroll

Oh wow, they grind it? It's the whole process. I thought, I in my mind was like, you're in a mushroom-like body sack. Well, they have that too. And the fungus like starts to help break you down, right?

Chapter 2: What is the significance of Nick's new movie 'I Don't Understand You'?

1193.898 - 1214.853 Nick Kroll

Juni. Oh, kommt. Ja. Was bist du, 70? Ich bin 71 Jahre alt. So it was right around this time. It was right around this time. My now wife, Lily and I, we got pregnant in the height of the pandemic. It was like a full mating in captivity.

1215.213 - 1217.295 Marc Maron

I just talked to someone else who did that.

0

1217.335 - 1231.202 Nick Kroll

And found out on her birthday May 29th, that we were pregnant. It was also the weekend of the George Floyd murder and the insanity of that weekend. It was the weekend we found out that she was pregnant.

1231.222 - 1231.942 Marc Maron

So, excitement.

0

1232.002 - 1242.025 Nick Kroll

And then, yeah, like helicopters. Remember how many helicopters there were? And then Trump, you know, did the Bible, the upside-down, backwards Bible.

1242.045 - 1254.006 Marc Maron

The satanic signaling. Wenn du die Übersetzung zu Revelation und der Nostradamus, der Upside-Down-Bibel, ansprichst, dann war das der Anfang davon.

1254.026 - 1257.372 Nick Kroll

Ja, es ist so lustig, Nostradamus nicht mal Trump anzupassen zu wollen.

1257.432 - 1257.472 Marc Maron

Ja.

1259.09 - 1290.281 Nick Kroll

It's a bummer, it's hacky, and it's a bummer. I'm not going to do it. So then, that Monday, I find out that my grandmother is on her deathbed. But you were like, okay. It wasn't like, what? She just turned 100. This can't be happening. I talked to her three months ago. Für zwei Minuten. Ja, und sie war eigentlich unglaublich scharf, unglaublich scharf. So fucking smart. Ja. Ihr ganzes Leben.
