Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hazy. Everybody. Welcome to Access Podcast, the podcast about podcast producers. See,
we've got two ladies on the show who you might
not know their names, but you've probably laughed at their
jokes before because they're both comedians and writers, Morgan Murphy
and Robin Shure. So have you laughed at two Broke
Rols before, then you've laughed at Morgan Murphy. Sure, we're
(00:26):
going to talk to them in just a second, but
check out their podcast. But I was at a date
at the Alcove and we got a free piece of
cake out of nowhere, and I was like, is it
because they recognized the gentleman that I was with or
is it because they recognized my annoying voice? I just
I couldn't figure out which one it was. I've had
that happen before at Alcove, they have gotten a free Yeah,
(00:50):
they're just nice. You had to read into it and
see something negative about you, Robin, Welcome, Welcome to the show, ladies.
Thanks thanks for having us. I've got many many questions
for you and about the podcast. Lois feelis the podcast?
First of all, I just want to say that when
they first I first got an email about this podcast,
I had not heard of it, and I went to
look at who you've had on, you know, and just
(01:11):
to pick an episode, and I saw the name Sam
Pancake on there, and I was like, I'm in Sama,
we gotta team that. We grew up in the same
town in West Virginia, so like, I know his family
from way back. So that was really great. But for
those people who don't know about Los feel as the neighborhood,
(01:32):
what can you tell people about it? Um? I guess
if people aren't from the area and not familiar with that,
imagine you know what you would think of as Los
Angeles and then go to like the the east end
of wherever you put that circle, and we live on
the edge of that. But what about the neighborhood itself.
I'll be my last experience in Los feel as I
(01:53):
lived in Hollywood. I went to brunch with my wife
and the woman next to us ordered egg white omelet
with an office auto sliced near the eggs but not
touching the eggs. I was like, oh, that's fancy. Well,
you know, you always want to make sure your avocados
are adjacent. But she you know, I think specificity is
part of the podcast and also part of the city.
(02:16):
The neighborhood. People are real specific here and and that's
what we try to do on the show is focus
on the minut show, which is it sounds like what
that lady was doing, I would have laughed. But there
are people like that here for sure, and you get that.
I think anywhere, uh in a neighborhood that's sort of
we are cute and precious but also aware of it,
(02:38):
aware of it. I think, yeah, well we're aware of it.
I'm not sure that like a lady ordering that in
Venice would be aware of it or like, I mean,
we love Venice. But I'm saying like, at least we
can make fun of ourselves and say we're you know,
we're hipstory or whatever, but we at least we know it.
You know. So if you're going to describe the neighborhood
to to somebody that didn't know and and and basically
(02:58):
why you would want to do a show about the neighborhood,
what would you tell them? I'd say that, uh, well,
I mean it doesn't it's funny because doing the show
at the neighborhood. I just wanted to do a show
about with a friend talking about things that weren't going
to exhaust me. Like, you experience your neighborhood every day,
so it's easy to talk about it every week. And uh,
(03:21):
I'd say, like imagine, like the podcast is like you
meet the local hardware store owner and you meet the
lady who bakes your croissant that you get at the
you know, at the at the Delhi, And it's a
little bit of that. It's like what if what if
you know everyone that you sort of come into contact
with on a daily basis, you finally get to hear
him chat for a while and you know, or hear
(03:42):
people talk about your your same concerns like why you know,
why are the parking meters so expensive? Or why are
the curbs so high? And I feel like also just
in terms of explaining it, it's like sort of a
little small town kind of hamlet with like a lot
of artists and writers and people in the business, but
also people not in the business. And um, I think
(04:03):
it has like a nice we're just far away enough
that it doesn't feel so oppressively Hollywood. I go to
a yoga class sometimes in Hollywood. It takes me thirty
five to forty minutes to get there. Um, so I
don't even venture west unless I have to you, um,
And it used to not take that long, but I've
really become more provincial as the traffic has gotten worse
(04:23):
and worse. And I find that everything I need is
all my friends and um, Like, my mother's on the
West Side and I just by definition don't see her
as much. Um And so my friends are here, and
I feel like it's an artist driven community, and it's
also an activist driven community, which is nice, but it's
also like a b whatever you want kind of community.
And there's no there's no sort of hard and fast
(04:46):
rules about anything here, you know, Like I don't go
anywhere for yoga and I barely leave my house and
it's a community for me and they here. Yeah, when
we live in Hollywood, I had friends that lived in
Santa Monica, and I told I told someone I see
my friends in the Bay Area more than I see them,
because I just don't feel like one all the way over. Also,
there's just a lot of you know, one thing about
l A in general is that you run into a
(05:07):
lot of folks who were in the business but aren't
the people that you you know, you think about as
being in the business, the people who really make it run,
the writers like yourselves, comedians, uh, stand ups Uh. The
neighborhoods full of a lot of those kind of folks.
And I'm noticing there's a there's a kind of there
is a it's an almost genre now of the l
A podcast. You know, we're folks in l A who
(05:28):
were in the business or you know, and start a podcast.
Um have you Do you feel like there's a community
down there now of that. I mean, there's definitely a
lot of people who have podcasts in comedy, and there's
a lot of people in comedy and loose feelings. Um
so yeah, I mean I mathematically that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(05:49):
I don't do a lot like pockets, but I feel like, yeah,
I feel like all my you know, most of my
friends have one um and they're all great. I feel
like if you have something to say, get you know,
and you have a way to say it and you
find you find that it could be. One thing I
like about our podcast. The best feedback I get from
our podcast is people say it's very very useful, and
(06:12):
that to me is kind of the biggest compliment. Like
the funny part. I'm glad it's enjoyable to listen to,
but it's like helpful. It's nice that people now know
that they can bring in their use batteries to Valor
hardware and get them recycled. Like just things in your
immediate area that you wouldn't necessarily know about. And there
are plenty of other podcasts that you can go on
to listen to the evolution of somebody's career if you
(06:34):
want to. But that's not that's not going to be this.
We'd rather have famous people. If we're gonna have a
famous person on, we want them to talk about street
cleaning in their neighborhood. We don't necessarily care about what
show they're on and what show they want to promote.
That's it's just not a Hollywood podcast in that way.
Why did you two decide to do one together? What? What?
(06:54):
What's When was the moment that you said we got
to do a podcast? Well, we're we live like you know,
just houses apart, and uh, I think there was like
a long time where people would come to my house
and asked me if I knew Robin, and they go
to her house and ask if if she knew me,
And we had all these mutual friends, and I had
like the sliver of the idea for a podcast about
(07:15):
the neighborhood, but it wasn't until Robin and I finally
connected after like a year and a half of living
five houses apart, that we started just talking and I realized,
like that banter to me is that's the show? Like it?
It was more like at Thedea for the show and
then and then met Robin and was like, Oh, that's
that thing that you know and I sort of thought of,
but it's yeah, it's just two friends talking about, you know,
(07:38):
the day to day stuff in the in a very
small radius. And it seems that people like people. It's
fun to get text from people throughout the day that
they're like, oh, this is closing and this is opening
and da da da da, Like it feels like right now, Um,
it's really fun to have to feel like part of
something um on a community level. I really enjoy that.
(08:01):
And um, yeah, Morgan must have seen in me somebody
who can talk endlessly about this place because I've lived
here for so long that I just didn't. You don't
realize when you're in your own neighborhood how much you
know about it and don't even discuss you just kind
of absorb it. Well, they're obviously people listen to this
podcast who don't live in the neighborhood and like it
(08:22):
and they like you to do you think part of
what's the charm and good about this show? And I
think a good podcast built empathy and and and when
you've done improv and stand up, you know, you know
how to you know kind of do that? Do you
feel like that that is a tribute to to also
why you do it? Um? I mean I think there's
a well, it's funny that you would I like the
(08:44):
relationship empathy instead of but I think there's why I
do it is like is kind of to not have
to be a stand up. I know that sounds weird,
but that makes perfect sense. Yeah, it's sort of. It's
it's um, you know, I don't have a funny take
on you know, on on on everything, and sometimes there
(09:06):
are things I just earnestly care about. And you know,
there's certainly times like I think I'll be like a
little bit snarky, but there's not. If I want people
to go support the local high school, like I don't
have a bit about that, right, We've been I was
I don't know about you, Morgan, but I've been asked
before if the whole thing was a bit, and I'm like, no,
(09:27):
like not at all. Where I'm going to that homecoming game,
I'm wearing a Marshall High sweatshirt. It and everybody who
from the podcast who joined us at the homecoming game
all felt the same way, which was I miss going
to high school football games, Like I wish that was
more part of my life. And that's kind of all
we're trying to do. And I like that. I like
that it comes across as empathetic, and I like that
(09:50):
that's the vibe that you get because that's certainly I mean,
we all, we all live in the we all live
in this community, and we want to be really really
careful to to keep it super positive. Because let's just
say I were to get on and say I got
a bad haircut at this place, or I had a
bad meal at this place, I still have to go
out and be in the neighborhood. I don't want that
(10:11):
bad mouthing his business, you know what I mean, his
or her business. Yeah, And I don't mean to get
too heavy, but you know, I teach a university class,
A couple of them on podcasting and what we're talking
yesterday about why podcasting is so popular now. And one
of the reasons I think is is just that that
positivity that you know, it's really hard to go anywhere
where there's not arguing, you know, social media, you know, family,
(10:34):
there's just there's just a lot of arguing now. And
for the most people who are choosing to do a
podcast are doing it for a reason, a fun reason,
or a reason that uh it is positive or educational.
And that that's another reason why I think people like
to listen to you, even if they're not from Los Felas,
because it's it's just nice to hear two people, you know,
have a nice conversation. I mean, and yeah, we really
(10:54):
do love where we live. We really are friends, and
we do have um, we do have a lot of
fun doing it. And you know, just to give you
an example, and I think this is funny and I
don't know if we're going to talk about it on
the show, but we had we were on a couple
of months ago in October, right after Morgan's birthday. We
had a guest on and the guest was complaining about
(11:15):
the prices of meal at a diner. We felt the
prices at this diner were too high, and it's the
only time we've ever said anything remotely critical on the show,
and I felt like, oh my god, I felt bad. Whatever.
Then we get a phone call at our hotline. We
have a neighborhood tipline, and somebody from the somebody from
the diner called in and said, I own the diner.
(11:36):
Here the prices, and he went through the prices. I
didn't listen to the phone call. But here's the thing,
it's an even bigger thing, which is that later I
found that that it was one of our listeners, who's
my dear friend, who called in the prank call to
pretend like he was the owner of that diner. And
it was hilarious because he knows that we always try
(11:56):
to stay positive, so he totally called us out um
at the one place that we were a little bit critical.
And I love them for it, but it was so
funny to me. It's getting back to Morgan's crank Yancher's roots.
Is that is that it? So? I guess so I
got really cranked and yanked by that. I really believed
it full throttle. So you've been doing this podcast for
(12:18):
a while. I've got a couple of friends that are
comedians that I helped. I've helped start a podcast in
l a couple of couple of folks like that, and
they're at the point where I'm starting to get phone calls.
And I've worked in this radio business with morning shows
a long time where they're starting to call me about
each other because because podcast is a show, it can
be a grind at times. Does that, um, ever feel
(12:39):
like a grind to you, guys, or a job where
you're you're kind of like one of you is like,
all right, you gotta do the show, and the other
ones like, uh yeah, I just I'm tired. I don't
want to do anything right now. Um, I mean kind
of like I I show up for the show, but
I don't do like real work. I just like to
be told stories. And Robin doesn't like to do doesn't
(13:01):
like that I do that, And no, that's not true.
I think in the beginning and as we go through
it like we're trying to figure out a good balance
and um, and it's it's not it's it's a marriage.
What are you gonna do? It's a marriage. Sometimes we
tick each other off sometimes we love each other. But
I think at the end of the day, it's like,
(13:22):
I know, I enjoy some of the administrative aspects of it,
and then there's times in the month where I don't um.
But but overall, it's like, we have a wonderful producer.
We have a wonderful producer named Lorie Wheeler, and she
helps us tremendously, and Lorie's Lorie's beyond essential, and I think,
you know, the stuff that's the stuff is just like
(13:44):
calling stories throughout the week, and what we did when
we were on Feral Audio, we were four times, we
were we were once a week on that network, and
now we're moving over to All Things Comedies and we're
gonna do the show twice a month, and that's mostly well,
let's be as of us and our schedules and our
careers outside of the podcast. But that's also because there's
(14:05):
not enough local news to support four podcasts a week.
So maybe we'll do two and then like a third,
you know, bonus round if we if we feel the need,
but we're definitely gonna we're doing two a month, and
I feel like those will be like choc a block
of great information. I do really lazy prep once in
a while for my shows, and this was a really
(14:27):
lazy prep question. But I thought it was funny. Morgan
on you on your Wikipedia there the one line that
is just the best. It just says Morgan was raised
Jewish by her mother. But then I have about Mitzvah,
she attended the Catholic high school. That's hilarious. I love that.
I love looking at like facts about your like I don't.
I don't like Google myself, but every sap and I'll
(14:48):
we'll look at that Wikipedia and like it's it's always
it's always surprising what somebody when When did I say that?
Was it ever in your stand up? I don't know. Maybe,
I mean, yeah, that's but that's a fact about me.
That's what happens when you have a Wikipedia page I
don't even have. I know you don't. You were harder,
you're you're by the way your Twitter game, Robin has
(15:09):
stepped up a bit. It was not the best. I disagree,
you know what it is. I have not found my
Twitter voice. That's the bottom line, is like I don't
feel that's my favorite those people. Everyone, everyone, everyone goes
I'm not good at Twitter. I'm not I'm not good
at twitter, like it kind of is, though I think
(15:29):
people like Morrigan, I'm a few other guys i've dated,
I've been really good at it, and I just like I.
If it were up to me, I would talk about
Florabama Shore all the time or clause the show clause.
But what makes you think I've stepped up my game?
I mean, I appreciate the compliment. Well, it's just a
little even a little more regular with it. Well, I'm
mostly retweeting stuff about the podcast. Well, hey, that's something
(15:52):
I tweeted the other night that I was really missing
through your life, which was which is Our? Which was
our neighborhood rose Yogurt story that closed, So it's tweeting
from the heart. So I'm upset. I got a sketch.
I love Sketch Fest in San Francisco. I didn't realize
that the hills of stage reading that was yours. I
remember seeing. I didn't go that's awesome, though, I mean
(16:16):
that you would do that. So obviously you have an
affinity for bad TV, and that makes me very happy.
It makes me like you a lot. I love Robin
and I love bad TV. The problem is we don't
love the same bad TV. It's we are we are,
we are not compact, Like I'm the bachelor, she's the
you know, I don't know who are the people on
the boat below deck below death or something. Yeah, I
(16:38):
feel like I feel like I you left my house
once and then a week later I had like every
below deck had been recorded, Like it wasn't you like
a series recording like real sports? It was upsetting. Below
deck is worth it, that's worth the bottom. And Yeah,
I really like bad television. I think because because it's
(16:59):
what I do for a living. When I watched television,
Let's just say, as to watch a sitcom, a single
camera sitcom on a network television station, I can see
the seams. I can see exactly how it's made. It's
not it's like it's like a bus men's holiday. Why
would you want to come home from work and sit
and watch your work? You know what I mean? No,
(17:19):
I I'm the same way. I don't. I hate that
I have to listen to some of my podcast because
it's all I do at work. Uh. And the same
thing with radio, Like my wife hates listening to the
radio with me because I'm always like, oh, these terrible
hack horrible, you know, just just going off on it.
What's the blow deck? I got? What's another one I
need to watch? I'm back on America's Next Top Model.
By the way, since Tire's back, that's some good bad
(17:40):
TV right there. Like a teen mom, she loves Team
I do. I've I've been following I mean the team.
It's it is weird because I'm thirty six and now
all the teen moms have like three kids. Like I've
been following these therapists Grandma. It's really crazy. So but
I think it's actually think it's a really well made show.
(18:01):
I think Catfish is really made. I started watching Catfish
at Morrigan's house. Um uh, the entire Bravo Cannon is
really mostly what I watched. My my TV is pretty
much always on Channel two thirty seven, which is Bravo
vander Pump Rules. Don't get me started. It's so good. Uh.
(18:22):
I could do that all day, talk this stuff. Anyway,
back to the podcast. You guys are now on the network.
You're on All Things Comedy Comedy? Is that is that
a little more pressure? Is that exciting? I know, Morgan,
you did the poker podcast that they do. Um, yeah, yeah,
I know that it's so funny because I don't I
don't think you know, the the comedian banter like isn't
(18:43):
my forte but I but yeah, it's exciting. Um I think, um,
you know our Madrigal and Bill or old friends, and
you know, it's it's nice also kind of people who
are familiar with the area, so it's nice to to
have it all kind of in house a little bit. Yeah.
And I enjoyed the fact that it's it's comedians running
(19:04):
a comedy network for comedians and the money stays there
unlike a lot of these other podcast networks. I think
it's great. Yeah. And I always like working with friends
like whenever possible, and people you have sort of pre
existing relationships with, and you know, I mean I go,
I've know now probably since I was nineteen, you know,
half my life. So it's uh. And they really welcomed
(19:25):
us with open arms and have been nothing but supportive
and listening to our ideas and stuff like that. So
it feels like a good home for us. One more
lazy prep question, Um, Morgan Blake Griffin leaving Los Angeles?
Are you are you are distraught? I'm beyond I mean,
I haven't had like a sports trade affect me on
(19:50):
like a real emotional level, like I didn't. I didn't like,
you know, I had to go on a drive like
that's a lot. I don't know. It's it's heavy because
I I've been a Clippers fan, you know I have.
I was, you know, fifteen, sixteen years old. I was
at Clippers games for my birthday. Like, I have autographed
Brent Berry picture on my wall, like I here him.
(20:12):
I was in before it was cool and he made
it cool. So it's, uh, it's a little it's heartbreaking,
but I think I'm like a Pistons fan now. I
think I'm just gonna follow him with with my Clippers energy.
Yeah that was I've lived in Oakland for sixteen years,
So if if they just traded Curry off like that,
(20:32):
I would know what to do. Yes, it's not just
a guy who's good. It's a guy who kind of
made your organization what it is. So it's, uh, it's
a little bit crazy, and it reminds you that everything
is a is a business. Uh, and it all sucks terrible.
Life is fleeting. Why do we bother? We always end
(20:54):
this podcast with the three Killer Questions. A little bit
of a radio thing here, and I want to ask
you each piece amazing questions. The first one is if
there was anybody living or dead that you could listen
to a podcast and have them have them do a podcast,
who would it be? WHOA big one? Um? Joe Rogan?
(21:16):
Uh I loved you. Let me think I'm going this
podcast without makeup. I'll tell you that much. You get
some comments there. I didn't realize people were makeup on podcasts.
I'm not like thinking ahead, like you watched that. How
would you know that they were going to film it?
They know they do people that people are obsessed. That's
they watch it on the internet. I'm maybe seven years old,
and uh so i show up and then I got
(21:38):
all these comments about how I looked, And I was like,
I didn't know I was talking about writing. Yeah, I
wasn't even talking about a thing you have to look
good for. It's anyways, Um Who's who would I have
a that's so hard? Maybe? Um my my grandmother who
I never met. That's a good one. Yeah, um you
(22:00):
want to The first thing that came to mind, this
is the first thing that came to mind was Anne Frank.
I don't know why the second guys, I'm still in
the attic. Um. I just feel like we all read
her diary. I want to know more. But it's like
when people bring their kids to did her party? Um um.
(22:22):
But then the second thing that went through my mind,
and and just bear with me on this, is that
I would like a podcast with the cast and the
crew and the writer and the director of Greece too.
I want to know everything that happened during the making
of that movie. And I wanted to be hosted by
Michelle Pfeiffer and I and I think it's been a
point of contention in her career that she was in
(22:43):
that movie, but she has no idea how much it's
affected me, like the like the reason I the reason
I wear V neck t shirts because of I'm not
wearing one right now, but is because of the character
she played in Greece. To that's that's one of the
best answers I've heard. Yesterday, I did this in my
class and one of the students came back with Whitney
(23:05):
Houston and Bobby Brown not a bad answer. Back in
the day, I was like, that would be a killer. Yeah,
Carrie Fisher and Dabbie Reynolds would be killer. Yeah, that
that that that would be killer anybody. If you've not
ever listened to a Carrie Fisher audio book, you're really
missing out. I mean, read the book, but also the
(23:27):
way she reads her books was amazing. Second question, if
you were a sandwich personified, what sandwich would you be?
I don't ask that question of really special people. I
would be Thanksgiving leftover sandwich because it's my favorite. It's
not really good about because because I'm you know, proof
(23:53):
that you know, things are better when they're a little
bit older and kind of cold and dry. I like, wow,
I don't know if I can even follow that. Um,
I would say I would be a tuna mouth on
gluten free bread. Why is that you? Oh? Why? Because
(24:15):
it's my favorite sandwich and it would have to be
a nice gluten free brioche. I'm trying to avoid gluten
because it really causes some headaches. I'm off gluten and
dairy and uh I feel a lot better, but I
do miss it. Are you a person that gets headaches? Uh?
No no, just nutritionist said, hey try it out. By
the way, if you host a podcast in and about
(24:38):
low speelis, you better have some gluten free snacks available
ye for your guests. That's a requirement or else. Well,
Morgan Robin, you are low Spie less treasures, and uh,
I appreciate you guys coming on the show. And if
I'm ever backed down in the neighborhood, hopefully I can
(24:58):
stop buy and say hi, thank you so much for
having us, thanks for coming on, and have a wonderful
sunny day you two. Well that was funz. Yeah it
sounded fun. I like to they're funny. You don't know
anything about Low Spelas and did not till this podcast.
(25:18):
It's one of those neighborhoods in l A that, uh,
I'd always like to live in because it's super nice.
But I'm a Hollywood guy. What do you like about
Hollywood more? It's a little dirtier, Okay, you like the grunge. Well,
I'm a fan of West Hollywood and we're gonna talk
about West Hollywood. Yeah, we hope that's all I know
about it. It's like in people called North Hollywood. It's
(25:43):
so pretentious. But la is a fun city. And what
are the things we're gonna talk about today with our podcast? Suggestions?
Are there are a lot of celebrities and not so
celebrities that you don't know who do podcasts. And I'm
not joking. It is a big thing in l A.
A lot of folks are doing podcast on the side.
You know, a lot of folks who have these big
audiences and a lot of folks who have cult followings
(26:05):
are doing podcast and and it's great. I want to
start with one. I know you normally do this this
rat but I wanted to start with one because I'm
just I want to promote it because I love the guy,
Sam Pancake. We talked about Sam at the beginning of
the show. Sam does Um. Sam has been in a
lot of stuff, a lot of a lot of a
lot of TV shows. Uh, it's funny. In my hometown
(26:28):
they do a train, a historic train that goes through
the river and goes through where his family lives and
the Pancakes and people aways laugh at that. The Pancakes
very common name where I grew up. They've been in
that that valley for for for generations, and whenever they
passed it was they used to always talk about. Sam
was in this orange juice commercial that was like on
(26:48):
forever it was. It was an orange juice commerce with
this kid in the back seat and he drank the
big thing of orange juice and and that was like
they always say this is the home of because I mean,
Sam's the biggest thing to come out of out of
Romney uh um. And and he's he's a great actor
and he's also very funny. And he does this Golden
Girls um thing where it's um, it's drag show and
(27:10):
they do go a Golden Girls kind of episode and
and it's fantastic. And I say that because I wish
I I've seen it, but I've just read reviews. I
have not gotten down there to see it. But pat
excuse me. Sam Pancake also does a podcast called Gasp
with Geo Andy, and I love this show because it's
(27:30):
just it's just funny. These are two very funny people
and they have great guests. The last one I listened
to the head Bianca del Rio on you don't know
who beyond Well, you need to know drag And I know,
like Maddie knows drag well. I watched drag Race. So
that's that's the drag culture right now. And I like,
I love drag Race and and actually I love to
(27:51):
go to a good drag show and they just get
some really good guests and it's a very funny podcast.
It's called Gasp. Go check it out. We did a
lot out of Miss Marrable. We did all of her
four I think four or five dresses for Miss Marrable. Yeah. Yeah,
Also because some shops were known for special cheese and
beating and better men's work. And also when the show
(28:13):
gets bit on, let's say, Wicked is you know whatever
year that was? Okay, I'm not getting there. You go, well,
the shot was already great podcast, funny stuff. But Sam,
if you guys want a little help with your audio,
give me a ring. Got him? What do we got?
All right? So mine is called Chelsea Peretti with the
comedian Chelsea Peretti. She is hilarious if you watch Brooklyn
(28:34):
nine nine, which one is she on Brooklyn nine? What
is her name on it? Wait? Let me what? Does
she looks like? She's the receptionist, doesn't care about anything?
Oh yeah, you know, yeah. She is so funny. Yeah,
one of the great on Netflix. And that's what first
turned me on her, and then I started watching Brooklyn night.
(28:55):
She's hilarious. She is one of those like I don't
really care. I'm gonna say what I want to say.
It's my opinion, and she just does it in such
a funny way. She has this really low voice and
m hers is called called chesty. We love her. Also,
she's from the Bay Area, so shout out. She's from
Contra Costa. Yeah, so yeah, I love it. Check it out. Um, sorry,
(29:22):
I was reading a text. Listen. The thing is, how
much time have we been doing this? I'm tired. I'm sure.
I bet it's been a while. It's a long time.
No here though, we're also happy. Um, do you have
anything you really want to say before I go take
(29:44):
a nap? Alright? Good stuff? Funny, funny, funny, funny. Mine
is also this last one is also an outspoken comedian
actor really but he's funny. Um. Michael Rappaport in his
podcast I Am Rappaport The Stereo a podcast, The Stereo
podcast it is he does sports movies, just it's one
(30:06):
of It's one of those podcasts I tell people who
are new to podcasting, you can't do that podcast because
you're not Michael Rappaport. It's just like you're not Joe Rogan. Yeah,
and he's got a following. Yeah, if you have a following,
you can go do a podcast like that. But if
you don't, it's hard to build one with that this, this, this,
uh that kind of concept. But he is so funny.
(30:29):
His rants are the best. I can watch his Instagram
videos of his rants and then go listen to his
podcast of his rants all day. I had a student
I had them take a podcast they like and kind
of emulated. Well, somebody went and just did one of
his podcast and it was very funny. But also half
(30:50):
the class was just there. They were offended, of course.
I mean it's i mean every other words the bomb.
This is not a podcast you can listen to with
with kids around, and I'm sure we'll probably have to
bleep it for many curses as we do. But here
you go check it out. You all right, you're good,
you're good. The doctors come, you need to go to
the hospital block. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. It happens,
(31:12):
these things happen on on movie sets. It can get tense.
There's a lot of uh money, there's a lot of bruah,
there's a lot of uh you know. Time is of
the essence, and I'm sure a lot of those things
had to do with Quentin Tarantino warning what he wanted
from his star who he's rocked with, and she's rocked
(31:35):
with him for years, which caused this car accident. Well, see,
we've done it. It's yet another great show, fantastic show.
I'd like to say, just just one of our best ever.
Zay Aya. They all was there, we go, I got

Hazy. Everybody. Welcome to Access Podcast, the podcast about podcast producers. See,
we've got two ladies on the show who you might
not know their names, but you've probably laughed at their
jokes before because they're both comedians and writers, Morgan Murphy
and Robin Shure. So have you laughed at two Broke
Rols before, then you've laughed at Morgan Murphy. Sure, we're
(00:26):
going to talk to them in just a second, but
check out their podcast. But I was at a date
at the Alcove and we got a free piece of
cake out of nowhere, and I was like, is it
because they recognized the gentleman that I was with or
is it because they recognized my annoying voice? I just
I couldn't figure out which one it was. I've had
that happen before at Alcove, they have gotten a free Yeah,
(00:50):
they're just nice. You had to read into it and
see something negative about you, Robin, Welcome, Welcome to the show, ladies.
Thanks thanks for having us. I've got many many questions
for you and about the podcast. Lois feelis the podcast?
First of all, I just want to say that when
they first I first got an email about this podcast,
I had not heard of it, and I went to
look at who you've had on, you know, and just
(01:11):
to pick an episode, and I saw the name Sam
Pancake on there, and I was like, I'm in Sama,
we gotta team that. We grew up in the same
town in West Virginia, so like, I know his family
from way back. So that was really great. But for
those people who don't know about Los feel as the neighborhood,
(01:32):
what can you tell people about it? Um? I guess
if people aren't from the area and not familiar with that,
imagine you know what you would think of as Los
Angeles and then go to like the the east end
of wherever you put that circle, and we live on
the edge of that. But what about the neighborhood itself.
I'll be my last experience in Los feel as I
(01:53):
lived in Hollywood. I went to brunch with my wife
and the woman next to us ordered egg white omelet
with an office auto sliced near the eggs but not
touching the eggs. I was like, oh, that's fancy. Well,
you know, you always want to make sure your avocados
are adjacent. But she you know, I think specificity is
part of the podcast and also part of the city.
(02:16):
The neighborhood. People are real specific here and and that's
what we try to do on the show is focus
on the minut show, which is it sounds like what
that lady was doing, I would have laughed. But there
are people like that here for sure, and you get that.
I think anywhere, uh in a neighborhood that's sort of
we are cute and precious but also aware of it,
(02:38):
aware of it. I think, yeah, well we're aware of it.
I'm not sure that like a lady ordering that in
Venice would be aware of it or like, I mean,
we love Venice. But I'm saying like, at least we
can make fun of ourselves and say we're you know,
we're hipstory or whatever, but we at least we know it.
You know. So if you're going to describe the neighborhood
to to somebody that didn't know and and and basically
(02:58):
why you would want to do a show about the neighborhood,
what would you tell them? I'd say that, uh, well,
I mean it doesn't it's funny because doing the show
at the neighborhood. I just wanted to do a show
about with a friend talking about things that weren't going
to exhaust me. Like, you experience your neighborhood every day,
so it's easy to talk about it every week. And uh,
(03:21):
I'd say, like imagine, like the podcast is like you
meet the local hardware store owner and you meet the
lady who bakes your croissant that you get at the
you know, at the at the Delhi, And it's a
little bit of that. It's like what if what if
you know everyone that you sort of come into contact
with on a daily basis, you finally get to hear
him chat for a while and you know, or hear
(03:42):
people talk about your your same concerns like why you know,
why are the parking meters so expensive? Or why are
the curbs so high? And I feel like also just
in terms of explaining it, it's like sort of a
little small town kind of hamlet with like a lot
of artists and writers and people in the business, but
also people not in the business. And um, I think
(04:03):
it has like a nice we're just far away enough
that it doesn't feel so oppressively Hollywood. I go to
a yoga class sometimes in Hollywood. It takes me thirty
five to forty minutes to get there. Um, so I
don't even venture west unless I have to you, um,
And it used to not take that long, but I've
really become more provincial as the traffic has gotten worse
(04:23):
and worse. And I find that everything I need is
all my friends and um, Like, my mother's on the
West Side and I just by definition don't see her
as much. Um And so my friends are here, and
I feel like it's an artist driven community, and it's
also an activist driven community, which is nice, but it's
also like a b whatever you want kind of community.
And there's no there's no sort of hard and fast
(04:46):
rules about anything here, you know, Like I don't go
anywhere for yoga and I barely leave my house and
it's a community for me and they here. Yeah, when
we live in Hollywood, I had friends that lived in
Santa Monica, and I told I told someone I see
my friends in the Bay Area more than I see them,
because I just don't feel like one all the way over. Also,
there's just a lot of you know, one thing about
l A in general is that you run into a
(05:07):
lot of folks who were in the business but aren't
the people that you you know, you think about as
being in the business, the people who really make it run,
the writers like yourselves, comedians, uh, stand ups Uh. The
neighborhoods full of a lot of those kind of folks.
And I'm noticing there's a there's a kind of there
is a it's an almost genre now of the l
A podcast. You know, we're folks in l A who
(05:28):
were in the business or you know, and start a podcast.
Um have you Do you feel like there's a community
down there now of that. I mean, there's definitely a
lot of people who have podcasts in comedy, and there's
a lot of people in comedy and loose feelings. Um
so yeah, I mean I mathematically that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(05:49):
I don't do a lot like pockets, but I feel like, yeah,
I feel like all my you know, most of my
friends have one um and they're all great. I feel
like if you have something to say, get you know,
and you have a way to say it and you
find you find that it could be. One thing I
like about our podcast. The best feedback I get from
our podcast is people say it's very very useful, and
(06:12):
that to me is kind of the biggest compliment. Like
the funny part. I'm glad it's enjoyable to listen to,
but it's like helpful. It's nice that people now know
that they can bring in their use batteries to Valor
hardware and get them recycled. Like just things in your
immediate area that you wouldn't necessarily know about. And there
are plenty of other podcasts that you can go on
to listen to the evolution of somebody's career if you
(06:34):
want to. But that's not that's not going to be this.
We'd rather have famous people. If we're gonna have a
famous person on, we want them to talk about street
cleaning in their neighborhood. We don't necessarily care about what
show they're on and what show they want to promote.
That's it's just not a Hollywood podcast in that way.
Why did you two decide to do one together? What? What?
(06:54):
What's When was the moment that you said we got
to do a podcast? Well, we're we live like you know,
just houses apart, and uh, I think there was like
a long time where people would come to my house
and asked me if I knew Robin, and they go
to her house and ask if if she knew me,
And we had all these mutual friends, and I had
like the sliver of the idea for a podcast about
(07:15):
the neighborhood, but it wasn't until Robin and I finally
connected after like a year and a half of living
five houses apart, that we started just talking and I realized,
like that banter to me is that's the show? Like it?
It was more like at Thedea for the show and
then and then met Robin and was like, Oh, that's
that thing that you know and I sort of thought of,
but it's yeah, it's just two friends talking about, you know,
(07:38):
the day to day stuff in the in a very
small radius. And it seems that people like people. It's
fun to get text from people throughout the day that
they're like, oh, this is closing and this is opening
and da da da da, Like it feels like right now, Um,
it's really fun to have to feel like part of
something um on a community level. I really enjoy that.
(08:01):
And um, yeah, Morgan must have seen in me somebody
who can talk endlessly about this place because I've lived
here for so long that I just didn't. You don't
realize when you're in your own neighborhood how much you
know about it and don't even discuss you just kind
of absorb it. Well, they're obviously people listen to this
podcast who don't live in the neighborhood and like it
(08:22):
and they like you to do you think part of
what's the charm and good about this show? And I
think a good podcast built empathy and and and when
you've done improv and stand up, you know, you know
how to you know kind of do that? Do you
feel like that that is a tribute to to also
why you do it? Um? I mean I think there's
a well, it's funny that you would I like the
(08:44):
relationship empathy instead of but I think there's why I
do it is like is kind of to not have
to be a stand up. I know that sounds weird,
but that makes perfect sense. Yeah, it's sort of. It's
it's um, you know, I don't have a funny take
on you know, on on on everything, and sometimes there
(09:06):
are things I just earnestly care about. And you know,
there's certainly times like I think I'll be like a
little bit snarky, but there's not. If I want people
to go support the local high school, like I don't
have a bit about that, right, We've been I was
I don't know about you, Morgan, but I've been asked
before if the whole thing was a bit, and I'm like, no,
(09:27):
like not at all. Where I'm going to that homecoming game,
I'm wearing a Marshall High sweatshirt. It and everybody who
from the podcast who joined us at the homecoming game
all felt the same way, which was I miss going
to high school football games, Like I wish that was
more part of my life. And that's kind of all
we're trying to do. And I like that. I like
that it comes across as empathetic, and I like that
(09:50):
that's the vibe that you get because that's certainly I mean,
we all, we all live in the we all live
in this community, and we want to be really really
careful to to keep it super positive. Because let's just
say I were to get on and say I got
a bad haircut at this place, or I had a
bad meal at this place, I still have to go
out and be in the neighborhood. I don't want that
(10:11):
bad mouthing his business, you know what I mean, his
or her business. Yeah, And I don't mean to get
too heavy, but you know, I teach a university class,
A couple of them on podcasting and what we're talking
yesterday about why podcasting is so popular now. And one
of the reasons I think is is just that that
positivity that you know, it's really hard to go anywhere
where there's not arguing, you know, social media, you know, family,
(10:34):
there's just there's just a lot of arguing now. And
for the most people who are choosing to do a
podcast are doing it for a reason, a fun reason,
or a reason that uh it is positive or educational.
And that that's another reason why I think people like
to listen to you, even if they're not from Los Felas,
because it's it's just nice to hear two people, you know,
have a nice conversation. I mean, and yeah, we really
(10:54):
do love where we live. We really are friends, and
we do have um, we do have a lot of
fun doing it. And you know, just to give you
an example, and I think this is funny and I
don't know if we're going to talk about it on
the show, but we had we were on a couple
of months ago in October, right after Morgan's birthday. We
had a guest on and the guest was complaining about
(11:15):
the prices of meal at a diner. We felt the
prices at this diner were too high, and it's the
only time we've ever said anything remotely critical on the show,
and I felt like, oh my god, I felt bad. Whatever.
Then we get a phone call at our hotline. We
have a neighborhood tipline, and somebody from the somebody from
the diner called in and said, I own the diner.
(11:36):
Here the prices, and he went through the prices. I
didn't listen to the phone call. But here's the thing,
it's an even bigger thing, which is that later I
found that that it was one of our listeners, who's
my dear friend, who called in the prank call to
pretend like he was the owner of that diner. And
it was hilarious because he knows that we always try
(11:56):
to stay positive, so he totally called us out um
at the one place that we were a little bit critical.
And I love them for it, but it was so
funny to me. It's getting back to Morgan's crank Yancher's roots.
Is that is that it? So? I guess so I
got really cranked and yanked by that. I really believed
it full throttle. So you've been doing this podcast for
(12:18):
a while. I've got a couple of friends that are
comedians that I helped. I've helped start a podcast in
l a couple of couple of folks like that, and
they're at the point where I'm starting to get phone calls.
And I've worked in this radio business with morning shows
a long time where they're starting to call me about
each other because because podcast is a show, it can
be a grind at times. Does that, um, ever feel
(12:39):
like a grind to you, guys, or a job where
you're you're kind of like one of you is like,
all right, you gotta do the show, and the other
ones like, uh yeah, I just I'm tired. I don't
want to do anything right now. Um, I mean kind
of like I I show up for the show, but
I don't do like real work. I just like to
be told stories. And Robin doesn't like to do doesn't
(13:01):
like that I do that, And no, that's not true.
I think in the beginning and as we go through
it like we're trying to figure out a good balance
and um, and it's it's not it's it's a marriage.
What are you gonna do? It's a marriage. Sometimes we
tick each other off sometimes we love each other. But
I think at the end of the day, it's like,
(13:22):
I know, I enjoy some of the administrative aspects of it,
and then there's times in the month where I don't um.
But but overall, it's like, we have a wonderful producer.
We have a wonderful producer named Lorie Wheeler, and she
helps us tremendously, and Lorie's Lorie's beyond essential, and I think,
you know, the stuff that's the stuff is just like
(13:44):
calling stories throughout the week, and what we did when
we were on Feral Audio, we were four times, we
were we were once a week on that network, and
now we're moving over to All Things Comedies and we're
gonna do the show twice a month, and that's mostly well,
let's be as of us and our schedules and our
careers outside of the podcast. But that's also because there's
(14:05):
not enough local news to support four podcasts a week.
So maybe we'll do two and then like a third,
you know, bonus round if we if we feel the need,
but we're definitely gonna we're doing two a month, and
I feel like those will be like choc a block
of great information. I do really lazy prep once in
a while for my shows, and this was a really
(14:27):
lazy prep question. But I thought it was funny. Morgan
on you on your Wikipedia there the one line that
is just the best. It just says Morgan was raised
Jewish by her mother. But then I have about Mitzvah,
she attended the Catholic high school. That's hilarious. I love that.
I love looking at like facts about your like I don't.
I don't like Google myself, but every sap and I'll
(14:48):
we'll look at that Wikipedia and like it's it's always
it's always surprising what somebody when When did I say that?
Was it ever in your stand up? I don't know. Maybe,
I mean, yeah, that's but that's a fact about me.
That's what happens when you have a Wikipedia page I
don't even have. I know you don't. You were harder,
you're you're by the way your Twitter game, Robin has
(15:09):
stepped up a bit. It was not the best. I disagree,
you know what it is. I have not found my
Twitter voice. That's the bottom line, is like I don't
feel that's my favorite those people. Everyone, everyone, everyone goes
I'm not good at Twitter. I'm not I'm not good
at twitter, like it kind of is, though I think
(15:29):
people like Morrigan, I'm a few other guys i've dated,
I've been really good at it, and I just like I.
If it were up to me, I would talk about
Florabama Shore all the time or clause the show clause.
But what makes you think I've stepped up my game?
I mean, I appreciate the compliment. Well, it's just a
little even a little more regular with it. Well, I'm
mostly retweeting stuff about the podcast. Well, hey, that's something
(15:52):
I tweeted the other night that I was really missing
through your life, which was which is Our? Which was
our neighborhood rose Yogurt story that closed, So it's tweeting
from the heart. So I'm upset. I got a sketch.
I love Sketch Fest in San Francisco. I didn't realize
that the hills of stage reading that was yours. I
remember seeing. I didn't go that's awesome, though, I mean
(16:16):
that you would do that. So obviously you have an
affinity for bad TV, and that makes me very happy.
It makes me like you a lot. I love Robin
and I love bad TV. The problem is we don't
love the same bad TV. It's we are we are,
we are not compact, Like I'm the bachelor, she's the
you know, I don't know who are the people on
the boat below deck below death or something. Yeah, I
(16:38):
feel like I feel like I you left my house
once and then a week later I had like every
below deck had been recorded, Like it wasn't you like
a series recording like real sports? It was upsetting. Below
deck is worth it, that's worth the bottom. And Yeah,
I really like bad television. I think because because it's
(16:59):
what I do for a living. When I watched television,
Let's just say, as to watch a sitcom, a single
camera sitcom on a network television station, I can see
the seams. I can see exactly how it's made. It's
not it's like it's like a bus men's holiday. Why
would you want to come home from work and sit
and watch your work? You know what I mean? No,
(17:19):
I I'm the same way. I don't. I hate that
I have to listen to some of my podcast because
it's all I do at work. Uh. And the same
thing with radio, Like my wife hates listening to the
radio with me because I'm always like, oh, these terrible
hack horrible, you know, just just going off on it.
What's the blow deck? I got? What's another one I
need to watch? I'm back on America's Next Top Model.
By the way, since Tire's back, that's some good bad
(17:40):
TV right there. Like a teen mom, she loves Team
I do. I've I've been following I mean the team.
It's it is weird because I'm thirty six and now
all the teen moms have like three kids. Like I've
been following these therapists Grandma. It's really crazy. So but
I think it's actually think it's a really well made show.
(18:01):
I think Catfish is really made. I started watching Catfish
at Morrigan's house. Um uh, the entire Bravo Cannon is
really mostly what I watched. My my TV is pretty
much always on Channel two thirty seven, which is Bravo
vander Pump Rules. Don't get me started. It's so good. Uh.
(18:22):
I could do that all day, talk this stuff. Anyway,
back to the podcast. You guys are now on the network.
You're on All Things Comedy Comedy? Is that is that
a little more pressure? Is that exciting? I know, Morgan,
you did the poker podcast that they do. Um, yeah, yeah,
I know that it's so funny because I don't I
don't think you know, the the comedian banter like isn't
(18:43):
my forte but I but yeah, it's exciting. Um I think, um,
you know our Madrigal and Bill or old friends, and
you know, it's it's nice also kind of people who
are familiar with the area, so it's nice to to
have it all kind of in house a little bit. Yeah.
And I enjoyed the fact that it's it's comedians running
(19:04):
a comedy network for comedians and the money stays there
unlike a lot of these other podcast networks. I think
it's great. Yeah. And I always like working with friends
like whenever possible, and people you have sort of pre
existing relationships with, and you know, I mean I go,
I've know now probably since I was nineteen, you know,
half my life. So it's uh. And they really welcomed
(19:25):
us with open arms and have been nothing but supportive
and listening to our ideas and stuff like that. So
it feels like a good home for us. One more
lazy prep question, Um, Morgan Blake Griffin leaving Los Angeles?
Are you are you are distraught? I'm beyond I mean,
I haven't had like a sports trade affect me on
(19:50):
like a real emotional level, like I didn't. I didn't like,
you know, I had to go on a drive like
that's a lot. I don't know. It's it's heavy because
I I've been a Clippers fan, you know I have.
I was, you know, fifteen, sixteen years old. I was
at Clippers games for my birthday. Like, I have autographed
Brent Berry picture on my wall, like I here him.
(20:12):
I was in before it was cool and he made
it cool. So it's, uh, it's a little it's heartbreaking,
but I think I'm like a Pistons fan now. I
think I'm just gonna follow him with with my Clippers energy.
Yeah that was I've lived in Oakland for sixteen years,
So if if they just traded Curry off like that,
(20:32):
I would know what to do. Yes, it's not just
a guy who's good. It's a guy who kind of
made your organization what it is. So it's, uh, it's
a little bit crazy, and it reminds you that everything
is a is a business. Uh, and it all sucks terrible.
Life is fleeting. Why do we bother? We always end
(20:54):
this podcast with the three Killer Questions. A little bit
of a radio thing here, and I want to ask
you each piece amazing questions. The first one is if
there was anybody living or dead that you could listen
to a podcast and have them have them do a podcast,
who would it be? WHOA big one? Um? Joe Rogan?
(21:16):
Uh I loved you. Let me think I'm going this
podcast without makeup. I'll tell you that much. You get
some comments there. I didn't realize people were makeup on podcasts.
I'm not like thinking ahead, like you watched that. How
would you know that they were going to film it?
They know they do people that people are obsessed. That's
they watch it on the internet. I'm maybe seven years old,
and uh so i show up and then I got
(21:38):
all these comments about how I looked, And I was like,
I didn't know I was talking about writing. Yeah, I
wasn't even talking about a thing you have to look
good for. It's anyways, Um Who's who would I have
a that's so hard? Maybe? Um my my grandmother who
I never met. That's a good one. Yeah, um you
(22:00):
want to The first thing that came to mind, this
is the first thing that came to mind was Anne Frank.
I don't know why the second guys, I'm still in
the attic. Um. I just feel like we all read
her diary. I want to know more. But it's like
when people bring their kids to did her party? Um um.
(22:22):
But then the second thing that went through my mind,
and and just bear with me on this, is that
I would like a podcast with the cast and the
crew and the writer and the director of Greece too.
I want to know everything that happened during the making
of that movie. And I wanted to be hosted by
Michelle Pfeiffer and I and I think it's been a
point of contention in her career that she was in
(22:43):
that movie, but she has no idea how much it's
affected me, like the like the reason I the reason
I wear V neck t shirts because of I'm not
wearing one right now, but is because of the character
she played in Greece. To that's that's one of the
best answers I've heard. Yesterday, I did this in my
class and one of the students came back with Whitney
(23:05):
Houston and Bobby Brown not a bad answer. Back in
the day, I was like, that would be a killer. Yeah,
Carrie Fisher and Dabbie Reynolds would be killer. Yeah, that
that that that would be killer anybody. If you've not
ever listened to a Carrie Fisher audio book, you're really
missing out. I mean, read the book, but also the
(23:27):
way she reads her books was amazing. Second question, if
you were a sandwich personified, what sandwich would you be?
I don't ask that question of really special people. I
would be Thanksgiving leftover sandwich because it's my favorite. It's
not really good about because because I'm you know, proof
(23:53):
that you know, things are better when they're a little
bit older and kind of cold and dry. I like, wow,
I don't know if I can even follow that. Um,
I would say I would be a tuna mouth on
gluten free bread. Why is that you? Oh? Why? Because
(24:15):
it's my favorite sandwich and it would have to be
a nice gluten free brioche. I'm trying to avoid gluten
because it really causes some headaches. I'm off gluten and
dairy and uh I feel a lot better, but I
do miss it. Are you a person that gets headaches? Uh?
No no, just nutritionist said, hey try it out. By
the way, if you host a podcast in and about
(24:38):
low speelis, you better have some gluten free snacks available
ye for your guests. That's a requirement or else. Well,
Morgan Robin, you are low Spie less treasures, and uh,
I appreciate you guys coming on the show. And if
I'm ever backed down in the neighborhood, hopefully I can
(24:58):
stop buy and say hi, thank you so much for
having us, thanks for coming on, and have a wonderful
sunny day you two. Well that was funz. Yeah it
sounded fun. I like to they're funny. You don't know
anything about Low Spelas and did not till this podcast.
(25:18):
It's one of those neighborhoods in l A that, uh,
I'd always like to live in because it's super nice.
But I'm a Hollywood guy. What do you like about
Hollywood more? It's a little dirtier, Okay, you like the grunge. Well,
I'm a fan of West Hollywood and we're gonna talk
about West Hollywood. Yeah, we hope that's all I know
about it. It's like in people called North Hollywood. It's
(25:43):
so pretentious. But la is a fun city. And what
are the things we're gonna talk about today with our podcast? Suggestions?
Are there are a lot of celebrities and not so
celebrities that you don't know who do podcasts. And I'm
not joking. It is a big thing in l A.
A lot of folks are doing podcast on the side.
You know, a lot of folks who have these big
audiences and a lot of folks who have cult followings
(26:05):
are doing podcast and and it's great. I want to
start with one. I know you normally do this this
rat but I wanted to start with one because I'm
just I want to promote it because I love the guy,
Sam Pancake. We talked about Sam at the beginning of
the show. Sam does Um. Sam has been in a
lot of stuff, a lot of a lot of a
lot of TV shows. Uh, it's funny. In my hometown
(26:28):
they do a train, a historic train that goes through
the river and goes through where his family lives and
the Pancakes and people aways laugh at that. The Pancakes
very common name where I grew up. They've been in
that that valley for for for generations, and whenever they
passed it was they used to always talk about. Sam
was in this orange juice commercial that was like on
(26:48):
forever it was. It was an orange juice commerce with
this kid in the back seat and he drank the
big thing of orange juice and and that was like
they always say this is the home of because I mean,
Sam's the biggest thing to come out of out of
Romney uh um. And and he's he's a great actor
and he's also very funny. And he does this Golden
Girls um thing where it's um, it's drag show and
(27:10):
they do go a Golden Girls kind of episode and
and it's fantastic. And I say that because I wish
I I've seen it, but I've just read reviews. I
have not gotten down there to see it. But pat
excuse me. Sam Pancake also does a podcast called Gasp
with Geo Andy, and I love this show because it's
(27:30):
just it's just funny. These are two very funny people
and they have great guests. The last one I listened
to the head Bianca del Rio on you don't know
who beyond Well, you need to know drag And I know,
like Maddie knows drag well. I watched drag Race. So
that's that's the drag culture right now. And I like,
I love drag Race and and actually I love to
(27:51):
go to a good drag show and they just get
some really good guests and it's a very funny podcast.
It's called Gasp. Go check it out. We did a
lot out of Miss Marrable. We did all of her
four I think four or five dresses for Miss Marrable. Yeah. Yeah,
Also because some shops were known for special cheese and
beating and better men's work. And also when the show
(28:13):
gets bit on, let's say, Wicked is you know whatever
year that was? Okay, I'm not getting there. You go, well,
the shot was already great podcast, funny stuff. But Sam,
if you guys want a little help with your audio,
give me a ring. Got him? What do we got?
All right? So mine is called Chelsea Peretti with the
comedian Chelsea Peretti. She is hilarious if you watch Brooklyn
(28:34):
nine nine, which one is she on Brooklyn nine? What
is her name on it? Wait? Let me what? Does
she looks like? She's the receptionist, doesn't care about anything?
Oh yeah, you know, yeah. She is so funny. Yeah,
one of the great on Netflix. And that's what first
turned me on her, and then I started watching Brooklyn night.
(28:55):
She's hilarious. She is one of those like I don't
really care. I'm gonna say what I want to say.
It's my opinion, and she just does it in such
a funny way. She has this really low voice and
m hers is called called chesty. We love her. Also,
she's from the Bay Area, so shout out. She's from
Contra Costa. Yeah, so yeah, I love it. Check it out. Um, sorry,
(29:22):
I was reading a text. Listen. The thing is, how
much time have we been doing this? I'm tired. I'm sure.
I bet it's been a while. It's a long time.
No here though, we're also happy. Um, do you have
anything you really want to say before I go take
(29:44):
a nap? Alright? Good stuff? Funny, funny, funny, funny. Mine
is also this last one is also an outspoken comedian
actor really but he's funny. Um. Michael Rappaport in his
podcast I Am Rappaport The Stereo a podcast, The Stereo
podcast it is he does sports movies, just it's one
(30:06):
of It's one of those podcasts I tell people who
are new to podcasting, you can't do that podcast because
you're not Michael Rappaport. It's just like you're not Joe Rogan. Yeah,
and he's got a following. Yeah, if you have a following,
you can go do a podcast like that. But if
you don't, it's hard to build one with that this, this, this,
uh that kind of concept. But he is so funny.
(30:29):
His rants are the best. I can watch his Instagram
videos of his rants and then go listen to his
podcast of his rants all day. I had a student
I had them take a podcast they like and kind
of emulated. Well, somebody went and just did one of
his podcast and it was very funny. But also half
(30:50):
the class was just there. They were offended, of course.
I mean it's i mean every other words the bomb.
This is not a podcast you can listen to with
with kids around, and I'm sure we'll probably have to
bleep it for many curses as we do. But here
you go check it out. You all right, you're good,
you're good. The doctors come, you need to go to
the hospital block. I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. It happens,
(31:12):
these things happen on on movie sets. It can get tense.
There's a lot of uh money, there's a lot of bruah,
there's a lot of uh you know. Time is of
the essence, and I'm sure a lot of those things
had to do with Quentin Tarantino warning what he wanted
from his star who he's rocked with, and she's rocked
(31:35):
with him for years, which caused this car accident. Well, see,
we've done it. It's yet another great show, fantastic show.
I'd like to say, just just one of our best ever.
