# young_chomsky truanon shoulder_holster brace_beldman call_her_daddy comedy_sketches ed_opperman liz maritime_professions podcast_culture private_investigation sailors

Young Chomsky joins Liz and Brace to celebrate Ed Opperman, the legendary PI whose shoulder holster obsession—shared by Liz—blurs into a surreal tangent about sailors’ concealed-carry rules. Between awkward podcast-at-party jokes and Liz’s nasally "Jew guy" voice bit, they pivot to Opperman’s maritime listener, a small-arms-trained professional, exposing how niche passions collide with absurdity in this chaotic, off-kilter conversation.

A Bit for the Show 00:04:04
I listened to another podcast for the first time.
What?
Yeah, sorry.
That's like cheating.
God, I don't know.
I don't know why I just said that.
I'm so sorry.
I can't believe that you would just say it like that.
No, no, no.
And you would say it on the podcast.
It's not like that.
It's like I was at a friend's house and there was like a lot of stuff going on.
And like, yeah, someone turned on a podcast.
Wait, wait, look, I know that this bit is funny, but also I love the idea of going to like a party and someone's like, let's listen to this podcast.
I have never listened to a podcast with another human being.
I don't think it's appropriate to like sit around and listen to a podcast.
So me and the boys, me and the boys do listen to Call Her Daddy, like sort of in like a group sesh kind of thing.
Well, right in the Canaro.
Well, it's like, yeah, it's like a Zoom, but in person.
Like we like, we hang out in the sauna and we put on Call Her Daddy and like, you know, like talk about stuff or listen, just listen sometimes.
Sometimes, honestly, silence between friends is good.
Oh my God.
That's like such a disgusting image.
Of just like sick, sweaty, like skinny fat guys with like that girl's voice.
Oh my god.
And everyone's like a little bit got a boner.
It's like gross because you're like, is that the full one?
Like, or is it just like a little?
Oh, no, no.
Shut it down.
Shut it down.
Theme music.
Let's go.
Welcome to Truanon.
What voice is that?
This is this is how I've always sounded.
I do the, I do like the kind of like nasally annoying Jew guy voice.
That's like a bit for the show.
This is how I, this is, Liz, you know this.
That's my stage voice.
This is this is how I talk usually.
You know, it's such a pleasure to be here today.
Oh my god, I hate it so much.
Will you stop?
Yeah, absolutely.
No problem.
I can stop anytime.
Well, it's, yeah.
Well, my, okay, okay.
Hello.
Welcome, Truanon.
Welcome.
No, Molly, you just stop.
Yeah, of course.
Did you just keep going?
No.
I'm stopped.
I'm not going.
I'm not going anymore.
This is just.
It's going like in and out.
No, no, no.
It's no, I'm serious.
It's totally fine.
No.
I'm not doing the voice anymore, Liz.
You keep not doing it and then you drop one at the last minute.
I don't know what you're talking about.
It's, it's, it's, I'm just talking.
I've got a little bit of a cold.
Let's just do the intro.
Okay, okay, okay.
Hello.
Welcome.
This is Truan.
My name is Liz.
My name is Brace Beldman.
Okay.
We are, of course, joined by Young Chomsky.
And we have, once Brace puts on his real voice, a great show for you today.
I am so excited.
I almost did it there, but I didn't do it.
I know.
I like that you did it.
I'm so excited.
We have on the show one of our heroes, the I don't even know how to describe him.
I mean, we got.
And the myth, the legend.
Exactly.
I mean, really, really one of the legends of the trade.
Yeah.
Ed Opperman, PI, a private investigator in literally every single version of what that means.
I know.
I love it.
Yeah.
I saw your eyes lighting up as he was talking.
The little hamster wheel in your brain started moving.
Shoulder Holster Moment 00:00:54
When he said shoulder holster, I looked up.
Listeners, I know you can't see this, and God forbid you ever will.
My closet, I record in the bedroom.
I got the closet door over there, hanging from the side of it, shoulder holster.
And when he said shoulder holster, I was like, I'm like that guy.
Yeah, it's like your North Star, baby.
Exactly.
Exactly.
All I wanted in my life was to either be a sailor or a guy who wore a shoulder holster, and it wasn't like that big of a deal.
But people were still like, that's it.
So I have a question.
Can sailors not wear shoulder holsters?
Like, can you not do both?
Shoulder holster?
I can't say that.
Shoulder holster.
I actually do that vocal exercise like 40 times in a row before.
Shoulder holster, shoulder holster.
Shoulder holster, shoulder, shoulder holster.
Shoulder holster.
So, all right, I got my, when I got my like Merchant Mariner's credential or whatever.
I know a guy who does that work who's actually a listener to the pod.
And he had to take small arms training.
