[applause]
Thank you so much,
and welcome to the third annual
national Small Talk Convention.
How are you?
How are you?
Hi, how are you?
Hi, how are you?
Threyears, I can't believe
it's been that long.
Back then, the weather was
not as warm as it is today.
It's a little warmer.
Kind of warm.
[applause]
A lot of construction going up.
[applause]
It's true.
I'd like to bring up
one of the founding members
of the Small Talk organization,
Ms. Erika Kern.
[applause]
Thank you so much.
Got my hair cut
the other day.
Um...
I went to a new guy,
and, uh, yeah,
he recommended, uh,
a new conditioner,
which I-I think, yeah, it's--
I think it is working better.
[applause]
We have some great events
coming up.
Um, pointing at someone else's
kid and saying, "Aww!"
Oh, tomorrow morning, uh,
just "nice."
"Nice."
Also, uh, Sunday, uh--
Yeah, hold on just a second.
Hey, uh, is there a Sally here?
Or is-- is this not the Public
Comedy Bits Convention?
No, that's next week.
That is embarrassing.
Okay.
Uh, and, uh, I am backing out
awkwardly.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
beep, beep, beep.
I like those shoes.
Are those new?
[applause]
[Washed Out's
"Feel It All Around" playing]
[laughter]
Okay, so-- so this is what
my name would be then.
- It would be Fabrizio Stivasen.
- [laughs]
- Isn't that a fun game?
- That's a good one.
[laughter]
You guys took car services
here of some kind, right?
- Yeah.
- There's a way
to see your rating
as a passenger.
- Really?
- Drivers rate you,
- just like you rate drivers.
- What?
- They rate you?
- Yes, they all do it.
Open up the app
and then check check--
"Check My Rating."
- [electronic beep]
- Hm.
And mine is...
5.0.
Oh, this is why you wanted
to play the game.
[laughter]
Yeah, I have bragging rights.
Right?
I earned it.
Sure, okay, we get it.
- I'm a good passenger.
- Great job.
4.8.
You both have 4.8.
- I got a 4.6.
- Ohh.
That's okay.
That's fine.
Do you ever argue with
the driver?
Like, what direction to take?
If they're going the wrong way
or something, sure.
Ah.
That's usually what it is.
Like, you have to sort of, like,
play it cool and let them...
[laughs]
5.0.
In your face.
In your face.
It's a 5.0.
Calm down, Amelia.
Act like an adult.
I don't know if a 4.6
should be telling me
how to behave.
I...
It's not a moral barometer.
It is.
It's how you treat other people.
It's very insignificant.
It's very insignificant
and silly,
but, Carrie, we haven't heard
your rating yet.
What, it doesn't matter.
I don't--
Did you check it?
Just go into Settings--
It can't be worse than
a 4.6, right?
Um...
[clears throat]
Can I get the check?
Yeah, okay, um...
It's not even a big deal.
[ominous tone]
- 3.1.
- I can't hear you.
- I didn't see it.
- This was a...
It was a 3.1.
I'm sorry, she's all the way
over there
and there's breakfast noise.
It's a 3.1!
Okay?
Are you guys satisfied?
Who cares?
Who cares?
[softly]
Sorry.
It's...
- Um...
- You're taking off?
Yeah, we're gonna take off.
You guys are leaving?
Yeah, we just--
we gotta take off.
We'll see you Tuesday,
I think, right?
- Yeah, Tuesday.
- Sorry.
3.1.
I didn't even think
they could rate that low.
Could you help me
get my rating up?
'Cause I don't want to be
shunned by my friends.
Okay.
We're gonna t your score up,
but you have to follow my lead.
- Okay.
- The way we're gonna start is,
I'm gonna call this car...
- I'm nervous.
- Don't be nervous.
- Okay.
- We're all paid up.
I think we're ready to go.
[phone chimes]
Here we are.
- I'm-- I'm sweating.
- You have a 5.0
in the sweat department.
Thanks.
- And here we go.
- Okay.

♪ ♪
Larry, thanks for coming in
today.
You know, as people move up
in this company,
we need to teach them
how to let employees go,
how to fire people.
- Am I getting fired?
- No, Larry.
Um, this is a training session
for you.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
All right, great.
So that's why we bring in
a local actor.
- This is a Matthew.
- Hi. Larry.
Larry, hello.
But I'm gonna be
firing Matthew?
Exactly.
And, you know,
to make it easier, why don't
you guys switch places?
Oh, all right.
You know, Matthew is going
to toss out
a few scenarios for you.
He's going to give you
some practice.
I've never done this before.
Take your time.
You'll do great.
All right,
don't feel sorry for me.
- I don't.
- That's the key
- to the whole thing.
- Okay.
[chuckles]
[gruffly]
There!
[mouthing]
Hey, Matthew.
Uh,
thank you for coming in today.
I-I'm sorry,
but there is no longer
a position here for you
at this firm.
You're gonna fire me?
The company is going through
a lot of--
I have three children, buddy.
One's 1.
One's 40.
All right?
You know how much that costs?
- How old are you?
- I got a 40-year-old
who's trying to buy a house,
and you're gonna fire me?
Matthew, there is no longer
a position here at the company,
and so I am terminating
your employment as of now.

♪ ♪
Why am I here?
I've never been upstairs.
Sir.
Uh, I'm usually down
working in-- in-- in the factory.
Matthew, have you been
taking classes?
Private classes,
which is great.
Yeah, it's every effective.
Dude, by the way,
you're doing great.
Thank you.
What's your name again?
- Larry.
- Larry?
You believe in scripture?
Scripture says that God does not
do onto being fired
and the employees of yea.
We have a very generous
severance package,
which should help you
and your Catholic children
with whatever you may need.
You don't want to fire me
because I'm good at math.
I have theorems and...
all kinds of Canadian
math problems.
I think Canadian math is
pretty much the same
as American math.
I'm threatening you, man.
I'm gonna throw a couple knives
at you.
I got 'em right here
underneath the table.
Matthew, there's no longer
a position.
No!
Never!
You signed a contract.
There's just no longer
a position for you here
at the company.
I could-- I could do, like,
web videos.
- Matthew--
- Actually, let-- let him finish.
You can do what kind of videos?
So I could do little shorts.
I could do a little series
of six episodes.
- Okay.
- So my friend has, like,
a little camera
and it does sound too.
So it looks really lo-fi,
you know.
- Like, fast edits.
- Oh, I love that stuff.
You know, cut to the one guy,
and then cut to the two guys,
and then cut to the three guys,
and then just do the joke
at the end.
It kind of looks rough around
the edges,
but, like, that's kind of
the charm of it.
You know, we really need
someone like that.
Nadine, that's--
that's pretty much what I do.
No, but I could do it
on the cheap.
'Cause I got a friend
who could edit it.
So he can do it on the cheap,
though.
And I think I'd like
to give you a raise
if-- if you're able to do that.
So, congratulations.
I'm not-- I'm not sure
what's happening now.
- I just gave him a raise.
- Yeah, you did.
- Yeah.
- I failed.
I know, I wanted to stop you.
It was really tough.
- You're so convincing.
- He's really good.
And I'm such a sucker
for content.
Fred, here he is.
Wait, wait, slow down.
Don't be too enthusiastic,
you know what I mean?
You could be pleasant,
but they're rating you
- as soon they see you.
- Okay.
So make a little smile,
- and let's just go in calmly.
- Okay.
Here we go.
I'm gonna sit in the front.
Do you mind?
- Hey, man. How are you?
- Hey, hey.
Hello.
Hi, wow, what a nice car.
It's so clean.
What's up, man?
- [whip cracks]
- How are you? You look good.
You know the destination,
so make your way
any way that you see fit.
- [horn honks]
- Your eyes are on the road.
You're not even using
your GPS, are you?
You're not.
That's fantastic.
Hey, man, you thirsty?
Have a bottle of water here
in my pocket.
That's a gift for you.
See, that's the shirt I was
telling you about, Carrie,
the one I wanted to get
that is, like,
really expensive looking
and makes everyone look
really handsome.
This chair is great.
Where did you get this chair?
Some Russian flags.
Are you from Russia?
[speaking Russian]
[laughter]
- [brakes screech]
- Whoa.
That was a great ride.
Thank you so much.
Great work.
Thank you.
[tires squeal]
All right, so here we go.
Wait for it.
- [bell chimes]
- Five stars.
Well, I feel like
I'm ready to do it.
- You're gonna do it?
- Yep.
- [phone chimes]
- Here he comes, look.
Filat.
Filat?
No.
That's "Fillip" with an "F."
Oh, okay.
Well, I'll ride in the front
this time.
- You ride in the back.
- No.
You're on your own.
You're gonna do this solo.
I believe in you.
- All right.
- Here's some water.
- The key is to agree.
- Okay.
That's the important part,
okay?
Whatever he says,
go along with it.
Agree.
Thank you.
Hey.
So...
how are you today?
All right.
Can't complain.
Good.
Um...
Smells great in here.
It's kind of a...
like a sweet and sour,
actually.
Yeah, somebody threw up
in the back last night.
I thought I got it all out.
Sorry.
Well, you did.
I mean, you-- you got it out.
I didn't notice it,
personally.
- Oh.
- Um...
Would-- would you like a water?
I-I brought you...
a water.
- You're giving me water?
- Yeah.
You got water right there.
Wow, thanks.
We both have water.
Mm-hmm.
Get the AC up.
I-I just wanted to
let you know
that you could turn the air
conditioning on, if you'd like.
- Really?
- Yeah, yeah.
Wow, most chicks I know
are always cold, you know?
[chuckles]
Weaker sex and whatnot.
Remember--
the key is to agree.
Right, I mean, they need
shawls and the heat to be on.
It's-- it's 'cause
they're weaker.
Really?
'Cause I was kind of, like,
half-joking when
I said that, but, uh...
- I was not joking.
- [laughs]
Hey, I got a joke for you.
What's the difference
between driving over here
and driving in Japan?
- What?
- Well, over here,
you got your wife on
the right-hand side going,
"Wah-wah-blah-blah-blah."
And in Japan, your wife is on
your left-hand side going,
"Wah-wah-blah-blah-blah."
[laughing]
Yes.
What is so funny about that
is that it's true.
Wow, I got to say,
I had you pegged all wrong.
When I saw you get in the car,
I went, "Okay, here's a typical
Portland liberal,
pro-choice feminazi."
But...
[scoffs]
You are cool.
I am cool.
I'm none of those things.
Hey, you know, you never told
me where you wanted to go.
Oh, well, that's because
I'm just kind of along
for-- for your ride,
for your day.
- So you just want to hang out?
- Yeah.
- With me?
- Sure.
- Go where I want to go?
- Whatever you want to do.
- I-I'm here for you.
- Okay.
- I'm here for you.
- I was gonna make a stop
at a gun store in a little bit,
because I haven't been there
in a while,
but, I mean, you don't want
to do that, do you?
- [harp flourish]
- You love guns.
I love guns.
- I love guns.
- So you want to come with me?
Sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- I totally do.
- Wow.
- You're the best.

Just kidding.
Of course it would
not be loaded.

This is Caleb from Synth Card.
Are you the current
account holder
of a Fortune-preferred card
ending in 6099?
Yeah, that's me.
Ms. Paulson, our
fraud detection was triggered
by a recent purchase.
Bridal veil is, uh,
inconsistent
with your purchase history.
I mean, 'cause we don't have
any previous charges
in your account to indicate
any kind of engagement
or long-term relationships.
I am someone that dates.

What's chopped chicken?
Chicken.
According to our system,
you aren't the type of person
to buy a bridal veil.
Well, I am buying
a bridal veil.
- Oh, you are?
- Yeah.
Our apologies.
Congratulations
on getting married.
I actually-- thanks, but
I'm just the maid of honor.
You're just the maid of honor?
You know, you're the maid
of honor.
That's tremendous.
Look how much you're spending
on things.
Yeah, I kind of didn't realize
it would be this much work.
Yeah, well, you know what,
you're gonna look great,
'cause of the elliptical
you bought.
Get on there about 20 minutes
a day,
and you're gonna do just fine.

- Hello?
- Sandra Paulson.
We're like to verify
your most recent purchase.
Well, yeah, I just bought
a new glue gun,
but that shouldn't trigger
anything,
'cause I do crafts all the time.
I'm a premium Etsy member.
Yes, but this glue gun
is industrial grade.
I would suggest you return it.
The other ones do exactly
the same thing.
You're just paying for the box.
There's no reason.
Well, thank you
for saving my life.
[chuckling]
Hey, I've got a question
for you.
I'm seeing here that you bought
a book yesterday
called "The True Path
to Finding Your Soul Mate."
You know, a friend of mine
told me I had to buy that.
It's this friends who's been
single, like, the whole time
I've known her.
Well, maybe no more listening
to her for advice.
- Don't you think?
- Right.
- [chuckles]
- Right.
No, declined, it's--
that is impossible.
[sighs] Oh, jeez.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Can you hold on a second?
[exhales sharply]
Hello?
You've bought enough stuff
for this wedding, all right?
You cancel that order and
you tell that bridezilla

personalized robes.

So what are we gonna do today?
Are we gonna load you up?
Well, um...
Do you--
do you have squirt guns or...
[laughs]
What did I tell you about her?
- You're right--
- You are funny!
By the way, squirt guns
are not very cool.
You know what,
I-I actually agree,
because I think it really
just kind of normalizes
the behavior of having kids
around guns.
No, no, no.
It makes guns seem like a toy,
and guns are not toys.
What you want to do, you know...
- Whoa.
- This is a Walther PPK.
Now, you want to wait till
they're a little bit older,
want to just be casual with it
so that they see that it's--
Every time you point it to me,
I want to put my hands up.
