Matt, you have to have heard Jimmy's story cause I've heard it before

[@joshwhalen17]

I like that lot a lot.

[@maxseppelt8916]

omg that picture in picture editing stresses me out so much

[@NeverNotFunny]

Never heard that before. Remember, this is video of a radio show. Why does it stress you out?

[@maxseppelt8916]

@@NeverNotFunny idk it feels claustrophobic and something about seeing Paul's hand from different angles at the same time makes me disoriented lol but the actual content is 😙👌

[@VickeyAllen]

I agree re: the hands from different angles. It's also the way that the pictures hanging on the walls and blue walls don't line up evenly, for me at least. I think a border on the inner frames would help calm my stress. But obviously if this is the first time you've heard this reaction--and, as you point out, youtube isn't the medium the show is actually meant for--it's not worth going through the trouble. (And I mean that seriously; you can't please everyone, and I'm sure adding a black border would elicit responses in a weird way, too.) Thanks for the excellent content!

Great story!!

PFT rules Hot Sauce Aukerman could learn a lot on how to politely interrupt PFT 👍

I remember the Jimmy story!

[@LOLCoolJ]

Gone too soon.

PFT is a mother father chinese dentist. 👍 LOL!

Could this friend of PFT's be Tom Scharpling?

[@isai9316]

I like Paul, and I like Jimmy, but this story sounds to me like a whole lot of white audacity. Like, oh yeah I'ma just pop into Prince's spot and check it out, and if someone stops us, then okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Is it just me?

[@NeverNotFunny]

I mean, I'm a white dude, and I've done this while on a studio lot, but I don't think Prince was ever there. The show I dropped in on was Fall Guy. I'm old - Eliot

[@isai9316]

@@NeverNotFunny as a gay Mexican guy, maybe it's my experience not being welcome into places I shouldn't be in? Idk I think the most I'd do is get pretty excited that Prince was there and hope I'd get to see him come out or something.

[@NeverNotFunny]

No doubt our experiences have been different. I think I've told the story on the podcast about how I got free Morrissey tickets. Can't remember which ep. But it speaks to your question, I think.

​@@isai9316 just wanted to say, I totally understand/relate - like, when someone of a different (let's say... Much lighter) skin tone says something like, "oh just go in there, it'll be fine", I struggle with - a) oh, they may have Literally never felt 'unwelcome', and I have no way of 'translating' that to them And b) you know, they probably Are correct? And! If I am hassled, the more probable 'worst case scenario' Is something like, "uh sir? What are you doing here?", which really is not that terrible (obviously, depending on the people/situation involved) I know for myself, in Paul's story, I would Never suggest "hey let's just literally go to the set of a music video" (if anything, just because I don't want to bother people who are working, in any capacity?), but if my friend was like, "hey! Let's walk over there and see if we can see the shoot!", I would probably be convinced to try/go over with them/keep Them company, if that makes sense
