Danny Pudi also said “socks” and Larry King was not having it. Makes me think Danny would be cool to meet and Larry not at all.

The interview they're talking about

Edit: the smile he makes after saying socks it's top notch

[-] FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social 47 points 1 year ago

Yeah, a fresh pair of socks is pretty great. I've never met this dude but he seems like he'd be alright.

[-] DrPop@lemmy.one 18 points 1 year ago

I'm wearing brand new socks right now. Feels great.

[-] FARTYSHARTBLAST@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

They don't even have to be new, a good pair of socks fresh out of the drier is the best IMO. I avoid wearing new socks unwashed because there can be all sorts of nasty shit on them from the factory, shipping, warehouse, etc. that I'd rather not have rubbing against my skin.

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

They're not made to eat, so who the hell knows what kind of chemicals they douse clothing in to keep them "fresh" and keep bugs out of them while they travel across the ocean in shipping containers. Agreed, wash the fuck out of them, first thing!

That makes me laugh every time. The meme really doesn’t do his delivery justice.

Is Larry King really that out of touch or is this a bit?

[-] norbert@kbin.social 30 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The delivery was incredible.

"Larry, I'm on Ducktales"

It might not necessarily be a bit but he was definitely setting Danny up with some softballs giving him room to do his thing; Larry King was a great interviewer.

[-] tox_solid@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

He doesn't come off that way in this interview. He seems like a rich old fuck who's been so rich for so long that he genuinely struggles to understand how the poor plebs could possibly exist without private jets.

[-] norbert@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago

Oh he was for sure out of touch, he got hugely successful in the 70s and interviewed actual rich and powerful people, real world leaders and superstars. Over his career he interviewed over 50k people, everyone from Nelson Mandela to Eric Andre. Like the other commenter said, it was kind of his shtick to not prepare or learn too much about the guest so he'd "genuinely be curious" about them.

I'm not saying the dude was a saint, he was a womanizer and was married like 7 times, but he wasn't born into money or anything. He was a little kid from Brooklyn whose dad died when he was 9 and it messed him up, he grew up poor as fuck until he lucked into radio in the 50s. He did end up seeing a lot of success, idk if he ever got private jet rich but I'm sure he traveled 1st class more than once.

Eat the rich and everything but also save your ire for someone that deserves it, an old dead interviewer seems pointless.

Larry King is no longer alive but I think he had an old school reporting style that he stuck with.

[-] Cheesus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It's a bit. Larry King was famous for never preparing and treating every person he interviewed the same. Larry King likely had no idea how low down on the list he was in Hollywood.

I will NEVER not watch that link when it's posted.

[-] Dave_r@reddthat.com 44 points 1 year ago

I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said "Abed?". He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

To be fair, Abed would say "Abed" if he met the actor that played himself...

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 40 points 1 year ago

I'd rather not meet Larry right now. I imagine it would be yucky and frightening and then eventually boring with a side of PTSD.

[-] zenbhang@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I would also not want to meet Larry now either.

Considering the fact that he died in 2021 and Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery is probably not the most fun place to visit haha

Of the two I'd easily meet Danny Pudi! Always heard he's a class act and super humble to be around.

That and the fact that Larry King died in 2021 and randomly hanging at the Hillside Cemetery may not be the vibe haha

[-] MaxPower@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago

You cannot meet Larry anymore though, not in this life.

[-] teft@startrek.website 32 points 1 year ago
[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

All you need is the right attitude... and a shovel.

[-] Lurk99777@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

I'd imagine it would mostly be a one-sided conversation with Larry if you met him today. Unless you happen to be schizophrenic.

Nah, Danny is spot on: A good cup of coffee at the right time can be pretty luxurious.

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 104 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Considering the amount of labor goes into growing beans, curing them, and sending them all over the world:

I don't know what the fuck else could be the definition of a luxury, but that's a fucking luxury to have the result of a plant that mostly grows in the tropics readily available to be purchased and used at supermarkets worldwide.

Like, when East India Tea company ruled the waves, did people not think tea was a luxury? Because same deal, the amount of labor involved was gargantuan. It was absolutely the definition of a luxury.

Just because capitalism has made it "cheap" means nothing.

[-] MostlyGibberish@lemm.ee 39 points 1 year ago

Just wait until climate change kills the vast majority of coffee crops. That'll probably remind people that it's a luxury.

[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

That's gonna remind people a whole lot of shit is a luxury.

[-] Narrrz@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

like breathing fresh air, and a remarkable lack of knives in your ribcage.

As areas warm up we’ll just move tropical fruit production to areas previously incompatible. We’ll be enjoying the French coffee industry because grapes can’t grow there anymore!

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

And we'll be enjoying antarctic wine! Nothing like a good penguin rose.

[-] Moc@lemmy.world 113 points 1 year ago

Imagine the privilege and lack of historical awareness to not believe coffee is a luxury

[-] deathbird@mander.xyz 61 points 1 year ago

If it's a luxury, isn't it almost by definition "something you can live without?"

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

You're confusing the word "can" with the word "can", which is understandable, since they are spelt the same way.

This clip lives rent free in my head and occasionally pops up from time to time. Love how Danny pointed out he’s not a megastar and nice socks are a luxury to him.

[-] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

The socks he’s talking about are expensive too. Like $20 a pair.

I’m buying 6 pairs for, maybe, $20, so yeah, wool socks are a luxury item.

[-] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 40 points 1 year ago

I'm so glad that Abed made me watch My Dinner with Andre. I would have never have seen it without the way that Pudi carried that bit off.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

I've still been meaning to watch it, specifically because of that episode.

Who did he play on DuckTales?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago
[-] dingus@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I thought all three were voiced by Ben Schwartz.

[-] norbert@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

That was actually Danny Pudi doing a Ben Schwartz impression, that's why it sounds like that.

Does anyone know if there's a community (the tv show) community on lemmy / the fediverse?
