Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome back to another episode of I'm your guest, Coastal
Dread and for kp Bless Meet everybody, Jolly. First up,
James Teney. James, you stand it for a long time.
What was your first board and when did you get it?
I got Oh god, I don't know. I got it
when I was twenty one years old. I do know that,
so I started way later than other people. And I

(00:25):
only got it because my now wife, then just person
I knew, had a skateboard and I was like, I'm
gonna learn to skateboard, so she thinks I'm a skater boy,
and uh I did. I It was hard. I fell
into a cactus pretty early on in the skating and
that was probably the second most painful injury I had.

(00:46):
It's like one of those cactuses that I don't even
know if it's considered a cactus, but has huge spikes
that are just impaling, but otherwise chema looks like a
point setta, and I skated right into it, like the
first week I had like an ala vera. Maybe do
they have like long, black like stabbing spikes at the end,
Yeah they can't, then that might be it. Yeah, such

(01:08):
a skater boy, real, see you later, boy, And I
used to skate past you all the time. That was
me learning going over will Shire when you were at
Second Spin? Did those were the days? I tell you.
Next up is Jackie Gonzalez DRUTHI. Okay, Jackie, did you
collect anything unusual when you're young? You know? My dad

(01:32):
started a stamp collection for me and my sister and
it's a lot of Disney stamps and they're really cool
and we've you know, when we were little. He'd add
to them. But it's nothing that we We didn't go
to any conventions or shops or any We didn't even
pick them out, you know, we were just kind of
given them as gifts. We still have the binders and

(01:55):
I recently took them and I have them here, um
and they're so cool. Again. I haven't added to it,
but I like that I have them. I don't want
to sell them, even though I do have duplicate, like
I have two of everything because I have my sisters
and mine. But I am curious as to like how

(02:17):
much they are worth because some of them are cool.
Ship I have like like Zimbabwe stamps with like Lion King.
I have those two I know exactly what you're talking about.
These aren't like I love. I love to look at them. Yeah,
I gotta go find those because I definitely clicked to
those and I was little tapes, so pretty amazing stuff.

(02:38):
Next up, it's Chris Alvarado. Chris, what's the most extreme
activity you've done or would consider doing? Well? I was, Um,
I wasn't a skater boy, but I wasn't an aggressive
inline skater boy. That means rollerblading, but aggressively um, you know,

(03:00):
kicking people in the face, rails, grinding rails and stuff
that was pretty extreme, funk. I am not an athlete.
I am just not an athlete. And I would like
break my wrisk like every three months, and like I
got to a point where I would like come home
holding my arm and my dad would be like, no,
I'm not going, and I going to know what the
hell the way it needs to heal? Um. Yeah, I

(03:21):
have a lot of fear cole So I was never
like a and never like a like adrenaline junkie. You
know what I mean. I'm scared and I'm not strong,
So thank you very much, Forting, I hear you. Next up,
it's Craig Katkowski Craig, is there a book you bailed
on like halfway through reading it? Many many books? Um,

(03:46):
Catch twenty two I think is the one for me
that like is supposed to be a classic and there's
like seventy characters and they're all fucking guys in the army.
And it's also like, uh, it's like a smarter you know,
nineteen sixties satire. It's like, I get it. That's so
funny that you said that. Because Jenny's reading it for

(04:07):
a book club right now. Every single person is bailing
on it. They're like halfway through. I'm not even kidding you,
Like it's tonight that they're doing the thing. And Jenny's like,
I'm just gonna read the last fifty pages because I
can't do this anymore. Watch either the movie or the
mini series. I like the movie. Yes, there you go.
That's really funny. Last up, Joey Greer Joey rumors out.

(04:30):
We hear you've been asked to create a new Mario
Brothers game. What is it? Oh? This is I'm so
freaking excited. So this is actually like it's the first
Mario VR experience. It's great. I'm working with Steam VR
and Oculus and all that, and it's gonna be insane.
Remember that Mario Tennis was pr right, No, I don't
remember that. Yeah, I'm a virtual boy. Okay, but what's

(04:54):
your I'm sorry, I'm excited some but you're you're working
with Steam. Joey's all right, Steam like Mario. Yes they did, James, No,
it's a surprising. I get a lot of questions with
the guy not working on the project. All right. They
asked me, James, they asked me to do this. So
you you play Toad and there has been this viral outbreak, right,

(05:16):
this is something called crazy. You don't know what it is.
And you're centered in in Mario City and you're part
of the Mario City Police Force, and you have to
figure out what's going on, all right, and and like oh,
everyone in Mario City is turning to the zombies. Is
this crazy virus? And like what's going on? And there's
a Bowser Corporation. Bowser Corporation has created the J virus.

(05:37):
And the J virus is this thing that like you know,
once it goes into the air, once it braces and
you and Haley turned to a zombie. So you're told
you gotta run through Mario City and it's all VR
and you have to just murder every single Mario character.
It's so much fun. We're gonna like bring back so
many um characters that like you didn't even think of anymore, Like, oh,
they just had it for a second. But it's great. Yeah.

(05:59):
So the first one is going to take place, um
actually in this like Bowser's Castle, So it's out in
the middle of the forest. You have to go there
and there's gonna be this whole secret thing. And then
the second game is gonna take and that's our show.

I P. Cory Booth, who wrote Seen for you. My
old friend stuck in an elevator. That is all love
you all all the door. Oh no, don't don't stop
holding the tour pushed the close button. Push, he's he's running,
he's running. You don't know this guy, like I know
this guy. You don't want him in here. And he's
still he's still not getting here. He is well, what

(07:12):
he does is he moves his arms and legs really fast,
so it looks like he's running, but he's just walking.
He's doing like that Tom Cruise run. It's ridiculous. Close
the door. He is not getting any closing. I'm gonna
be late. I cannot be late again. I'm on my
this is my third right up. If I'm late, those
ritips are not cool. By the way, Like we're not

(07:35):
in school, yeah any school. We're not in school. We're professionals. Okay,
I'm gonna let it go. That's this guy's next getting
now he's close. Now he'll just be able to relatively close.
Like he's like jogging right in front of the elevator.
Come inside, please just get in here. Okay, we got it.

(07:58):
You're in. You're in. I forgot my wallet. Hold up, no,
I'm hitting the closed door. But nothing's happening. Uh, I'm sorry, Gail.
I don't know why the car is not coming. It's
been in the lobby for about twenty minutes. I keep
pressing the things. Should we just take the stairs down?

(08:22):
I'm not walking. I mean it's down, Gail, it's not
that far down. We could just go down and I'm
not walking. We'll continue to press it, but you know
we're anyway. Well, but like I was saying, I thought
tennis would be easy or a good time. I'm finding
it to be very difficult and not fun at all. Well,

(08:44):
you know, tennis, it's one of those sports that you
think you have a handle on and then it's just
way more difficult than we were pressed it. Let me
appreciate one more him. Where were we tennis? Oh? Yeah,
ten Sorry? Uh, I mean but you're you're a golf man.
I have a golf man. But that is a that

(09:05):
is a cruel sport. All the door. Jesus, this is crazy.
Why want this close? God, I'm going to be late again.
Uh really judges me when I'm late. You don't know.
They converted the stairs to slide, so of like we
can't go up now you can go down. Oh my god,

(09:26):
that sounds like so much fun, if only we could
get up all the Doorkay, you're in the elevator door.
And she walked out, you know, and I said, you know,
I know we're not in love anymore. How long have
you guys been waiting for the elevator? About thirty minutes? Now,

(09:48):
I mean, that's really unfortunate. Gal, I uh sure you
sure he wants to stick the slide down? I think
I don't think it will be too difficult for us.
It's gotta be coming any moment now, right you it think? Well,
the door, you're in here, You're in here, Nancy, I'm
so sorry I'm late, And what's up your hands and

(10:14):
elbows and like you're you're bleeding? Are you okay? Or
did you climb the stairs or the slide? Oh my god,
I can't. Yeah, it was um try. It was hard
to do um but I did it. And that shows commitment,
doesn't it. It shows my commitment to you, Peter, that
I would climb up a slide to get to our

(10:34):
counseling appointment. I'm here, I'm here for what I'm talking about.
This is what I'm talking about. Well, you only have
a little bit time left, so I don't know how
deep we're gonna be able to get to it. Um,
but um, I've asked Peter to not talk to me
this entire time, just had respect to you. So uh,

(10:54):
maybe you want to just get into what has happened
recently or what we talked about last time about not
able to by that bird because it was gonna be
a nuisance? Is that? Is that right? If I remember correctly, Yeah,
let's pick it up at the bird. She won't sleep
with me. And I was like, I have tried rebooting

(11:15):
the computer. I've tried it several times, but of course
you have. They kept wanting me to do that. I
was like, you know, I'm not an amateur. This isn't
my first day at a computer. That's good, right, And
they transferred me. They transferred me again. The first thing,
if we push the up button, we'll cutch it when
it's growing up, and then we'll just take it down afterwards.

(11:39):
I mean, sure yourself, help me up the slide. Okay,
we can't help you up the slide, all right? Coming
down off the somebody's coming down, Help me up the slide?

(12:00):
Where did he go? I hear his voice? You'll want
to use this rope. I can hear her. I can
hear her on her phone at night, so she says
good night, and I said good night, and then I
roll over, and then I can I can hear I
found a state up later I stay, I'm just I'm
on night. Go to sleep with me, me to be

(12:22):
asleep at the same time that we can be a union.
I thought we were a kid. The doctor has rescheduled.
You have next Thursday the same time, so thank you. Well,
Oh did Nancy leave in the middle of our session. No,
you've been out of your session for a while. You've
been down the lobby for a couple of minutes to

(12:43):
screaming age other, look and you please just sign out here. God,
we went into like a fugue state again. Hey, hey,
can I see something? Are you talking to me? I
enjoyed being in that state with you. Are you talking
to me? All right? I felt like we were really
we were we were one, We were a unit. We
didn't even know that we changed location. It wasn't Lasagna
and McAvoy, it was us. It was just us. It

(13:07):
was just Peter and Tina. Oh, I'm just a couple
of minutes late. Sorry, I'm I can catch up real quick.
I get the computer booted up. Okay, it's as if
I was here on time when I when I doubled
down my efforts at the beginning of my job. It's

(13:28):
like I wasn't late, you know. Oh, I guess it's
a quarter past. Yeah, you were late again. Yeah, but
it's just by I mean, I'm actually nothing, Hastes, we've talked.

you too, if I'm being honest, Well, are you trying

(14:13):
to me or oh no, sorry, I just have you
pressed the down button or the down button? I know
it's not. I've been wanting to tell you for a
long time, and especially at the time we spent here
right now, just delving so deep into each other's souls
that I just I feel like maybe this is a

(14:35):
connection we should explore. You're single now, you know she
left you and I've been a bachelor for a little while.
As you know, too long, if you long too long,

(22:34):
backed with gold. And you know Fort Knox used to
be a millionaire. And you'll go with money and why
are you here? Well, I was I wanted to dig gold?

but I did tell pretty much a shoe in for
one of them. Okay, what what is it? Let's just
say I'm going to be a gold digger. Okay, but

(26:13):
I gotta clarify something with you, because I know you
take things literally. What do you mean by that? Well,
there's this prospect or the dude I set you up
with the date I set you up with the woman
I didn't go to date. I'm this is this is
a great spot. Oh my god, how are you? This

(26:36):
is so weird. How do you do? You know? Dev
and all that? That brought me over from the bar.
We were hanging out and she said to come over
because there's more drinks. Seriously, you know that you could
make a best friend in one night. Isn't that amazing?
We had so much in common. She was really locked
in at first, but then I started complaining about the

(26:58):
stick and parents next door. I just, oh my god,
I complete forgot about Yeah, well I had a stupid date,
stand me up, but this like debmated all the better.
Thank you so much. That women empowering women. Here's my resume.
I hope I get the job. She here good. I've

(27:20):
had several years experience with a donkey and I already
have long John's on it. And now it says she
that you were a former millionaire. Yes that was man.
You're you're good with gold, that right? Yes, yes, I'm
good at scrolling it away. I'm good at and holding

(27:42):
it up and let it glick in the sun. But
the former, what what happened? But what what happened to
the money that's mine? Sometimes he getting deep for the
exactic birds. I know that. All right, Well here's your
claim and here's your pick. I'll make you proud. Well, Dad,

(28:08):

two get acquainted. Well, this is depth home. I don't know. Yeah,
and I really I mean to get home to the
bedroom home. Just shall we leave? No? You do stay relaxed,
right dead? Yeah that's what you gotta do. Yeah, Yes,

(28:30):
I don't know. I just met this guy. I don't know.
If you're saying you're in our home, you're in her home. Yeah.
I always assumed I was safe, but I think that
I wasn't safe. Various things a woman. Could hear that
makes me feel like it's the opposite. Can I just
ask one thing? You know what, I'm staying down here
with my thank you, thank you? How rich is she?

(28:54):
That is a very rude question to ask. Dude, this
is a very rude question asked that was that was
sick to hear. Oh, I'm sorry, but I was under
the impression that I was supposed to live off of
her money, my money, Francesca's money. Who are you? I
don't know what is it? Well? That sure is a
sad story. Uh. I'm not totally sure what the depth

(29:18):
subplot had to do with with your story. But anyway,
it's a lot of panning mostly well, you know, it's less.
It's kind of a misnomer. We don't dig so much.
We do a lot of panning. You see, I'm getting
a lot of pie write here. Which is it looks
like gold? It's it does look like gold, but it's
fool's gold. I'm taking some of that. It's not worthless.

listener Chris didn't tell it. He wrote just one this month,
as I am much too busy procrastinating my school work
to properly create scene suggestions right now. One. I've noticed
that comedians seem to get offended when people refer to
their work as skits for reasons that are not obvious
to non comedians. Did you guys do a scene that
explains for the to the rest of us about skits

wig and goofs around and it's a riot, so I'll

are you playing yourself? Where are you playing someone that
has come to doing a skit? What are we talking
about here? I think I think Oggens trying to elevate

(41:28):
us to another level. Perhaps honestly, after hearing Ogden's coaching,
I think I could give it another shot. I feel
like it's elevated me. I don't know, guys, I was
just excited to take part in a big time goof,
you know, but have some fun. That's funny. Okay. I'm

(41:53):
looking at the script now and the formatting is all fucked.
What do you mean that was this done on final draft? Um? No,
I know I asked a question where I know the
answer It wasn't. All right. Everybody, welcome to a corn bunk.
If you ladies need anything, you gotta come to me,

(42:15):
all right, because that's how we are here in the wilderness.
We're wild and free. Who's gonna tell me to wear
a shirt? Not me? That's right, because I make the rules.
I'm in charge. I'm the counselor, and I'm here to
help you have fun. If anyone needs tampons or pads,

(42:37):
that's gonna be here in this trunk, right yep. Living
in the woods once you walk around for long enough,
you form callouses, and it's actually the most natural and
beautiful way to walk around life, because then I can
go anywhere and not have a problem. The shoes are
making my hometown. What is it made of glass? What

(42:59):
does that mean? It just means that if she showed
up with no shirt and dirty feet like that, she
wouldn't be allowed in the gas station. Right, Ogden, We're
gonna start you as a featured player this season. Okay,
you're gonna tail around Edie Bryant. She's gonna show you

And just so you know, uh, this this environment can

(44:07):
eat people a louve man, they're cann't really funk with
your head. So just you know, you're eleven years old,
You're still developing as a human being, so you know,
maybe this is the right fit for you. I've heard
about you guys coming in trying to intimidate the new kids,
and uh, I'm not gonna be intimidated. Okay, now you're not.
I've got five ideas. I'm gonna pitch the Chance of
the Rapper tomorrow and you're not gonna talk to anybody.

(44:29):
You've got these little ship I'm odd the writing staff.

not skits. Put him on, Put him on, sweetheart. He says,
they're not skins. Okay, you're on speaker. I write scenes, father,
I write scenes, sketches. They're not skits. Okay, skits for camp.

(45:55):
I'm beyond camp. Now you just left amp Gowana. I
want to go. I don't know what you don't even
know the name of my camps. That's the show. It
will ship And what I saw was a bunch of skits.
And now you're thirty rock Well you used to sound confident,

(46:16):
Now you sound broken. Thanks for coming in. UM. I
read your latest sketch in UM. Although it has some
funny moments, the whole deb subplot really lost us. So
we're gonna send you back to camp. We need you
to get some more experience with skits. Uh, and then
you can come to Lord. Did you just call call

(46:37):
them skits for you, because right now you're at skit level. No. No,
I've moved beyond skits. I've moved beyond skits. I mean
that deb thing was slightly off game. But all right, campers, um,
you are now in the buffalo bunk makes some buffalo noises. Hey,
you don't counselors. We're all counselors in here. Okay, I excited.

(46:59):
I know. Look, here's why I called this this meeting.
You know, there's a lot of competition right now out there.
You know, all the kids are trying to write better
and better and funnier than the other kids, and the
songs and stuff. Why don't we go back to the
roots of it all. Why don't we go back to
the original idea generator. That machine hasn't been turned on

(47:20):
for years. I'm talking about the improv machine. Oh, put
the pencils down, put the final drift down. Put down.
Here's the thing. We're paying a lot of staff members
to be running a lot of different programs here. So
if we keep on just harping on the one. We're
paying for a bunch of horses for nothing. We're paying

(47:41):
for canoes for nothing. I mean these kids, some of
those horses have been stolen and apparently in I think
in the scrub Bunk kids got robbed. Do you understand
what this camp has turned into? This is the former
link for former league, for the generator for the future
generations of writers and performers. Here, you're correct, we need

(48:01):
to go back to ours. We need to go back
to improv I got a suggestion, how about um, a
man applies to become a gold digger. That's too convoluted.
I don't want to tell the whole story you about
just something the point of inspirations? Oh man, we did.

(48:23):
We changed comedy guys. The difference now right. That skit
was brought to see you by the following alchemists. Chris Alvarado. Yeah,
thank you for having me. Um. Check out my other
podcast to Comedy Figs, where we just you know, funk
around with ideas in comedy and performance. And I want
to say one more thing. Oh yeah, the way, if

Los Angeles area, the West Side Comedy Theater is you
