Welcome to Do you need to ride? This is Chris Fairbanks.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
And this is Karen Kilgariff.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
We are driving. This is I don't know where the
boundary is, but we're right in the middle of Echo
Park and Silver Silver Lake, Silver.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Lake, Bolvar, Silver Lake Boulevard.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
And and it is the area featured in the movie
Training Day. It is my neighborhood and and I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, it's pretty great.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Yeah, this is where all the beautiful hip people are
and all the you know, yeah, all that where.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
The action is.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah. I didn't. I didn't know that. When I was
leaving Venice Beach, I was moving somewhere where I'd be
confronted by my age because I feel like I moved
to like the young hip part of town. Yeah. Yeah,
but as you can tell, I've adjusted accordingly and I
hipped it up.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
You've definitely stopped crying about it, that's for sure.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Yeah, I've started cuffing my pants. You dried your eyes, Yes,
quit crying because I was getting tears in the cuffs
of my pants. Yeah, and yeah, everyone's like, oh, that guy,
he must be he's one of our peers. He's our age.
They don't know if all these creams at home that

(02:36):
I put on.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
My face, right, you've tricked them all.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
Look the pedestrians dance on street corners to themselves.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Everybody's tiktoking around, ready to be on cameras.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Neighborhood is filled with music and laughter. Yes, it's the
joyous area.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
There's the children at a little school.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, and you can hear their laughs often the day
stens every morning. That's that's my rooster.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
I used to I used to live in this neighborhood,
very close to where we are, and hearing school bells
is actually kind of a fun way to mark time.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
If you're home on a this one ring, no.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Next one, and next one. It will if you had fun.
It's this one. It's a street. Yeah, school bells, you
know they get mixed reviews. It's it's however, you were
traumatized or not traumatized as a child.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Right, and if you work in and out of the home,
in or out of the home or.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, or like me, have you spent years ringing a
bell for a living?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Oh you were Santa Claus?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Yeah, yeah, I rang bells for the Salvation Army. Is
that Reggie's house? He's having some work done.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Well, that's a lot of work.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
That's a nice patio, though I thought it was a
pure yeah. No, yeah, you're right. I randomly picked a house,
so I think you're probably right.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Is that the number we're looking for you?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I think Reggie Watts, our guest today, has little windows
in its fence. Look at that.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
You can't say that.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Oh right, Reggie Watts has a fence, and I will
describe it no further.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
His garbage cans are all the same as everybody else's.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
I'm very Yes, there's nothing that is describable about this place.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
No, yes, except that it used to be my neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
This is where Pete and I lived five doors down,
and it's a great neighborhood, except for the police helicopters.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
What are your thoughts on the band Three Doors Down?
I can't remember, nor can I, And like most people,
you try and conjure a tune by them and you
come up with third eye blind.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
That's automatically what happens every time.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Yeah, yeah, no one can remember now Three Doors Down?

Speaker 4 (05:01):
Wash?

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Will you still call me Superman? Oh? It's so funny.
Everyone's fascination with Superman, people like Seinfeld and adult man
in a Superman shirt is something you still see often
true true, which, oddly enough, a Superman shirt on a

(05:22):
man is kryptonite to the ladies.

Speaker 1 (05:25):
Ironically, isn't it ironic? Don't you think there is?

Speaker 2 (05:31):
I wonder if Alanis feels bad that she didn't know
what the word meant when writing that song, because she
does now, she sure does. It takes a while, though,
in her defense, to understand irony is a complicated thing.
People confuse it for coincidence.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Well yeah, and also, I think when you're writing a
song like that, you just kind of get carried away
with the vibe you're coming out with.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, I had the studio vibe.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
You just don't give a shit that nothing's tracking.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
Really, yeah, grammatically, let's see if.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
We're speaking of tracking.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I've never put on my blinkers before. Are you seeing it? Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Wow, it's just on the little iPad. It's like you're
being forced to work on the computer while you drive. Yeah,
can you get photoshop on this?

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yeah? I've actually put your head on top of the
Three Doors Down album and it is.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I knew because I always bring that.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Band up and you, Oh, do you love to reference them?

Speaker 2 (06:33):
I want something else to get me through this semi
charm type of life. Babe, babe, just lyrics? Do we
get sued for just lyrics?

Speaker 4 (06:42):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I think we can talk out lyrics. Jim. Let us know.
Jim is the lawyer who clears all our music songs.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
There is an image of your dash that is very
realistic and all white, and it appears to suggest we're
being gassed right now.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeap, like very lightly though.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yes, it's just a light, refreshing gas.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Just very beautiful. And then it gets more intense when
when you turn the number up.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
Stop describing my farts. I always turned to a child.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
You just like it, that's all.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
I like looking back on life and remembering the way
my brain worked back then. I'm nostalgic for it, so
I'm very immature.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
You don't ever have to look back.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
You can live in the now with your child that
I am now fart now is what I'm saying. When
I lived here, that house wasn't here. Like many of
these houses have been flipped beautifully.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Yeah, that house looks like they finished it last week.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Yeah, really nice.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's interesting. I always. It's one of those things I
like to look at, just knowing full well I probably
won't own one anytime soon. I'm okay with.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
That, though, I mean, no one can these days.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
I like looking insane, the freedom of knowing that I
can pick up and leave my apartment whenever I want.
If you know, it's an opportunity if need be, if
need be.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
If you're a traveling man.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'm a lot like an international spy in that way. Yeah,
I have nothing holding me back from just going to Berlin.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Except your little yellow hat. It's just very high res.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
This little hat is my favorite hat, Karen, I'm just
saying for a spy. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you can't
be wearing bright colors. As we know, the supplies dabble
mostly in earth tones.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
They have to.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
They have to blend, yeah, with the foliage and the
mauve of the sky.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
I like the hat though, it looks good.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
Thank you. I wasn't. I guess I was kind of
forcing a compliment, but I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh, that's okay.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's from the sub Pop store in the Seattle Airport.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Uh oh m.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
I went there. I didn't even have a flight. You
just shopped at the airport. Look. I see what new
release books there are and cassette tapes they have smart
but it is a beautiful store.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Subpop really reigns supreme like in the late nineties early aughts,
in a way that they deserve to have an airport
store now.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, and you people always when I would wear the
hat given to me by one of the members of
Sleader Kinney, No, yeah, not personally. It was in a
bad can the drummer, I'm not I think maybe yes.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Did she have a really good bob, like a very
solid bangs across?

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I don't know. I think she was wearing a little
yellow hat.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Did she have hair like yours? A little curly, a little.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Like again, multiple hats every day at this adult podcast camp.
But there was a schwag bag from sub pop.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
Yeah, oh got it?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
And then I'm like, what bands are still on sub pop?
Isn't that a thing of the past. No, so many
current great bands are still on sub pop records. Do
you think you should go check it out? Listener?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, let's all support them. Yeah, there's a girl from
subpop right now?

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, you no joke.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
I think Reggie just pulled into his own driveway, Am
I wrong?

Speaker 4 (10:09):
Look?

Speaker 1 (10:10):
I believe someone did.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Someone did.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
What if we just thwarted a burglary.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
A burg gallery?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
I think we just thwarted a burglary. Oh God, that
burglary was in progress until we thwarted it.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
This burglar pulls up right to the nest camera and
it's like, hey, if you didn't get my license plate before,
I'm right in the driveway.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
You know why they're unsuccessful, bright yellow burglar masks.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
See I told you, Yeah, it's not.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Good for crime. No, you gotta go black. What if
he comes in in Reggie's Superman.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
That's just a whole new vibe from Reggie. Wats that
people have never gotten?

Speaker 2 (10:56):
I've never I've known him pretty well. We do shows
together on Christmas and Montana.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
We're both from Montana.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yes, And I have never seen the emotion of anger
God near him, not even near him, which means he
doesn't emit it and no one puts it towards him.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, he's not. He doesn't have a lot of anger
in his life.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
And he speaks multiple languages, which I think is really cool.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
French, German, American.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
American English, British English.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
There's some Spanish in there also. And there are times
in his act where, until I saw the info sheet,
I thought he was just speaking a language like Gibberish
that sounded like French when he was because he's and
now I know he's just speaking fluent French. Oh wow

(11:50):
during his act. I've seen him do when he does
songs during shows German like metal, and it totally sounds
like a song on.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Him standing on the street way back behind us.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's funny because you're pointing, I guess at a reflection.
You're pointing at the mirror. I really thought you were poining.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
At that sense right there.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
That's not him standing within the wood grain of that fence.
Is it hainating he took drugs? Again? I'm told you
we're podcasting not going to.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
Is he in the wood of the fence.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Here we go again. No, that's an owl.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
Stop it.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
The only face you will ever find, Okay, ye, perfect
in a grain of wood is an owl.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
I looked out my own rearview mirror instead of trying
to look at it at it in yours, and that
is absolutely not I think that's a middle aged white
lady what I was looking at.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Oh. Yes, there's a lot of just people roaming around
the car because they're impressed with how well you keep
it up.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
For a black cart. It's pretty green.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
There isn't a speca dirt. That group over there is saying.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
All hip, all cool.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Yeah. Well, if I've ever gotten stinky from anyone, it
was that lady.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
This is young supermodel. Yeah, there are.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Pretty much any part of town, though you're going to
run into this town as lousy with supermodels and.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Also people that if you get the sink guy from
anybody in Los Angeles and it makes you feel bad,
go ahead and look at their license plate. That person
was from New Mexico. So the problem is their own
right and we must leave it where it is right
with them.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
The main problem being they're hiding so many UFOs.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
They're lying to the government and they're lying to themselves.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
I was driving with David Hansberger in New Mexico after
Doug Mellard's wedding to our friend Flynn and his wife.
Now after the wedding, and we just ended up on
the UFO The Philadelphia Project. Oh remember that movie. I
vaguely remember it, but there were soldiers with guns and

(14:10):
giant hangars and we're like, what's in there UFOs? And
he said, eh, maybe, and which I take as a yes.
The guy with the gun says maybe you know, he's
just beaten around the bush.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Yeah, he's actually telling you the truth.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Yeah. Yeah, so you heard it here first confirmation. Aliens
are real and living in New Mexico and they send
very symmetrical humans here to be photographed professionally.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, that would make sense.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
Are you saying like show business people.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
No, I'm saying the girl that just drove by that
we thought was a model is actually an alien. Oh okay,
you can tell because they're very symmetrical. Aliens overdo it
when they make humans and plant them on Earth. They
make them very symmetrical.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, and kind of hypnotic.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
They got a beauty mark on this bam. It's also
on the other cheek.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Bam. Yeah, that's just two big moles. It's weird when
you're waiting because any moment, he could come, any moment,
and it affects the conversation.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
You and I don't want to get into anything deep.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Yeah, I feel like I'm three quarters listening. Would I apologize?

Speaker 1 (15:22):
No?

Speaker 2 (15:22):
No, Well, all I'm doing is tossing out a bunch
of foul balls because if I hit a homer what
a was? And Reggie gets in, it's like, can you
give us a minute? Yeah, because we have to finish.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
We're having a private mode of comedy.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
You know that's bad hosting.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, yeah it is. You got to keep everything very temporary,
very flippant.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
You got to keep it flexible and fresh. And the
thing you love to yell, you got to keep it loose, right, like.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
To yell at loose. Yeah, I'd like to yell at
a joggers. As I passed them, they immediately start stretching.
Keep it loose, keep it this silly goose. They love it. Yeah. No,
one's offended when you called a silly goose.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
You know when they're offended is when you shush them.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yes, no one likes that, especially when you extend your
arm and touch your finger.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
To their lives, you physically shush with your finger them.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yes, do not physically shush with your finger.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Them them won't like it.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Them don't. Well, are we sure we're at the right
house that I've described in detail, which we've edited out.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
I looked at it in Google three D maps and
literally counted the houses between my old house and his house.
So I feel like, if it's not this house, it's
this house, because so he will either be coming out
from here or from there.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Well, I'm currently flying a drone and looking at the
video and man, your car is.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Immaculate, even from the top.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
But I'm very excited me too.

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I was on the phone with Danielle yesterday morning. Danielle Kramer.
She runs exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
Right, she's the coo, she is the that's right, and she.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Oh miss that house.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
They have an electronic door. I guess that's pretty normal.
That was invented in the mid eighties, kind of standard. Ye,
not where I come from.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
And in Daniel's backyard she she and are talking going
over our morning call, and then she goes, ugh, there's
a drone in my backyard and there's just like a
drone hovering over her yard.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, it's it's frightening to me that we've just gotten
used to that. That's so weird because most of them
have video capabilities. It's not okay, no, because you know
the person flying that, I got one in on the
remote and the other man. I'm not even going to
mention where the other hand is.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
You don't have to. We're talking about drones.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, it's in their pocket searching for money to buy
a better drone. Here and here we are at the
perfect ending of whatever we were talking about.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
That amazing riff jam Yeah, good morning, Yester morning.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
I am hello.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
I told you we spoke French.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Reggie Watt.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Hello, Reggie class my falangies as I offer them to
you because we are friends. Hi, Michael Falangio, thank you
for calling me by my new stage name. In the
car now is our friend Reggie Watts. Hello, Reggie, Hi,
I'm Reggie. How are you, buddy?

Speaker 4 (18:51):
I'm really good, Reggie.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Can I just tell you and really quick?

Speaker 2 (18:56):
You know I was going nowhere.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
I used to live in this apartment right here, in
this in this black building.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yes, it was you lived there and worshiped the devil
and if you watched Twin Peaks, Laura Palmer's mother, Gray Sabriski,
just walked out of her house. She lives right across
the street.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Wow, yes, wait, you just saw.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Yes, yes, she lived there when I lived there, and
she would never acknowledge me or talk to me. Her
husband would say hi, and they but they were both
obsessed with my cat, and my cat would go and
lay on their patio and uh, it was almost like
we shared a cat a little bit. And then one
time she told me about a documentary she went and saw.

(19:47):
Other than that, it was like I didn't exist. And
that was fine with me because I love Gray Sabrinski.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
That the great Zabrinski also an amazing magician.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Great to Brecky, that's awesome.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Wow, yeah, I love that little you know loves in
this goddamn neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
It's so specific.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Do you think that that person with the black house
got painted their house black after the jeep or the
jeep came second, you know that one was in response.

Speaker 5 (20:24):
I think it definitely it was to match the jeep
we're moving in. And they were like, if that's going
to be parked in the driveway, which it's going to be,
then we need to.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
It would be crazy to me if the jeep was
another color, as was the house any painted both black?
Because his fingernails were painted black, I would like the
fingernails to go, Oh, is this your friend?

Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yeah, that's clet Martin's.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
I love Martins.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
Reggie is the the the best at confidently, uh giving
no information to where it sounds like there definitely is information.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
And if you didn't, it's just you're not paying attention.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
If you missed it, that's that's that's pure truth.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
And club is what kind of a name? What club?

Speaker 5 (21:17):
Mark cud Martins Club? Yeah, he's well, it's for a
club of Cleb Radaya.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Ship.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
You're going in there, okay, but you're taking up the
whole street.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
So what would you like me to do?

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Go to work together?

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Yeah? Well, have you ever driven on the street before?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I think we all know that it was the street fault.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Yeah, it was definitely streetful.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
Because we're on a street with no name.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Street fault, street fault?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Whose is it? O?

Speaker 4 (21:54):
G B Y beauty?

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Finally, Reggie, I've always wanted to ask, Yeah, how speaking
of confidently, speaking gibberish. How did you do? How many
TED talks have you done? Was it just the one
I love?

Speaker 4 (22:11):
Well?

Speaker 5 (22:12):
I have the main TED one I did, and then
I have I did. I think ted X mid Atlantic,
ted X Full Spectrum and ted ex Doha. You've done
multiple and ted ex Berlin.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
I want a which one because I've only seen one
and it blew me away?

Speaker 1 (22:33):
What was it about? May? I ask?

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Exactly?

Speaker 5 (22:37):
Well, they're all just me fucking around on stage really,
so it's like, yeah, they're not really about anything, but
you know, it's just me. It's just on stage, yeah,
talking about whatever I think I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
But you were You were so good and you always
I've always seen you be good at this, but so
good at transitioning from one character who's not really saying
anything to another. It's you were morphing into different people.
It was so great.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Yeah, I'm so good at sometimes people call me morph hamil.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Oh. By the way, the salt and straw on.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Sunset ice Cream is it.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
Looks like a fucking TGI Friday.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
It's like the design of it, it just looks like
it's just it's so terrible.

Speaker 4 (23:27):
I can't believe it that like it just I every time.

Speaker 5 (23:30):
Ookay, I'm like, someone consciously decided that that's going to
be appetizing to the people of silver Lake, which it
is not.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Are they doing like license plates on the wall and
ship lap and stuff?

Speaker 4 (23:41):
I don't know they should be Oh yeah, they got
that cush.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
When before it opened or right when they opened. Someone
I was walking by and someone flagged me down and
said would you like some ice cream? And I thought,
I'm like, well, surely I'll have to pay for it. Yeah, No,
tried so many different varieties. Whoa and they refuse to
take my money.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
That salts and straws.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Yes, it salts in as well as straws.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
I got a ticket in Larchmont for overstaying my welcome
in my parking spot, and I also got a second ticket,
and when I opened it up, it was saltan straw
saying We're sorry you got a ticket. Here's a thing
for a free ice cream.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
You're kidding? Serious?

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yeah? Isn't that good? Like marketing kind of friend making?

Speaker 2 (24:28):
How did they approach the city and they're like, we
want to have coupons on your tickets and they're like, okay, No.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
It was a separate Living ticket because it basically happened.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
In front of their store.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
So maybe that's some awesome idea somebody came up with
of like people are so bummed when they get a ticket,
and so then we can kind of like emphasize with.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Them, yeah they're making your day.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah, and say hey, once again, cope with food. And
I'm like, hell, yes.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
I will watch me do it.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
Wow, that's a very interesting marketing tactic.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, Reggie, how much longer do you have as the
band leader on the current television program you're working?

Speaker 4 (25:14):
I have zero zero.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
It's over.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Yeah, it's been over for a month now.

Speaker 5 (25:20):
House Free Life, Yeah, it's it's well, I'm really stoked
that it's I don't have to go there anymore.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
Yeah, for sure, I love that feeling. But it's also.

Speaker 5 (25:33):
You know a little terrifying about like, well, what's next.
You know, it's the next thing, you know, pitching some stuff,
but you know, you know how that usually goes.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
So yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (25:43):
I mean, in the meantime, I'm touring a lot and
stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
That's what I wanted the answer to be. Yeah, I
just want everyone to do stand up.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally Yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
What I want everyone to do. I hope you keep
pitching and nothing happens.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yeah, thank you. Yes, that's so sweet. Yeah, I get it.

Speaker 5 (26:03):
I get it, and I understand it too. That's the thing.
I totally understand it.

Speaker 3 (26:08):
I was telling Chris because very briefly, for like one
month I worked there and watched you do your thing,
and I was telling him how much I liked watching
you have to do a real, like kind of arguably
traditional like band leader job and then yet completely were

(26:29):
yourself and kept your own style and kind of kept
your own space, which I think is a hard thing
to do. And I always just like watched you, going like,
oh cool, because you're like, you know, it's not the
same as comedy bang bang, It's like it's almost like
the official CBS version or whatever, but you still were
you and so hilarious, and I just thought it was cool.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
Oh well, thanks, Yeah, it was fun. It was so
cool that they were just like, yeah, go for it. Yeah,
and we're okay with it.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
M h.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
I'm aware that that's not a normal way of proceeding,
but it was also kind of.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Telephone and not to be childish again, but I am.
I just launched my new my new flatulence.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
Oh you did.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yeah, we were talking about my old one being childish.
Oh and this one's more adult contemporary, so excuse me.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Wow, that's cool, thank you. And it's also like way
more palatable, thank you. Yeah, yes, which I enjoy I
enjoyed things.

Speaker 4 (27:38):
Well, I just enjoyed things, thank you.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Yeah, I've always been I've always accused you of someone
who enjoyed things.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah. Yeah, and you're correct, and I love it.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Where have you been doing stand up?

Speaker 5 (27:49):
I've been doing a lot of just lineup shows, Like
I'm doing two shows tonight when a Dynasty and one
somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
I noticed you're the Comedy Store the other night. Is
that somewhere you rarely, like me, have performed.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Yeah, the Comedy Store is like very rare for me
to perform at. They've only performed once in the smaller room,
so it was my first time playing in the big room.
But also that lineup was just insane.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Yeah, I appreciated that you appreciated that lineup. Yes, to me,
you were one of the biggest stars on it. But
I see the.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
World more realistically.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Who was on that show? Tiffany our friend Tiffany.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Yeah, Tiffany Hattish and David Spade and Mark Marin.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
So there was Yeah, I guess there was some people
that have done some things.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
And Dane Cook, which was interesting really yeah he was.
I guess the headliner was last Guy and oh and
then who snuck?

Speaker 4 (28:50):
Oh, Polly Shore snuck in the.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Oh wow, that's like all the directions comedy.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Went, I know all the night.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
These like legendary you know comedians. Well, I guess Maren
would have been a little bit later. He would have
been like two thousands.

Speaker 4 (29:07):
But no, when I think of he's been working since
eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, I think of him in a flowered Cowboys shirt,
kind of Johnny Carson, like, you're right.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
You're right.

Speaker 5 (29:17):
Yeah, because he used to work the door at the
Comedy Store in eighty seven.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
How do you know that?

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Because he told me. Okay, that's the only way I know.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I always whenever I've been in the room with Polly Shore,
I want to tell him that my dad wrote jokes
for his dad, But it never comes out of my
mouth because it seems like it was Uhrt Burfler. No,
surely Sammy Okay, yeah, who started the comedy store. But
I guess Kennison, Sammy Kennison, Sure, okay, and uh, he'd

(29:52):
put on the trench coat and no one knows.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
With White Snake.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
Yes he is in the White Snake video.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
I think he is.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
I just think that's so cool, but I don't I
still don't let him know because why would I. It
just seems like I'm bragging about my dad again.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yeah, and he'd probably just kind of like, look at
you weird.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
Maybe that is a place sometimes where people let you down,
where you're like, hey, we have a connection, and then
they're just like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
I don't care.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
That's very la where you're just like it's very common.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
Okay, Well it's it's it's like when people give up
on the notion of man, like it has such a
specialized transport vehicle.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, it's like a child.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
It's not a big wheeler.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
And then it's got like he's got a walking cane.

Speaker 5 (30:39):
But the walking cane he costing me to custom loop
at the base of it so that he can just
put it through the handles and it just like holds
it there perfectly.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Anyway, he's got his day all planned out.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
Yes, he's done that before.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
Yeah, he has and he's he's doing it right now. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
Yeah, that happens a lot. There's like kind of a
little bit of a bitterness. Sometimes it comes with what
I call like the mid nineties road dogs. Yeah, it
was just a different way of being on the road
and maybe it still exists or whatever, you know, like
just like comedians doing stand up, writing jokes, surviving gig
to gig and kind of like being a little too

(31:18):
competitive or quasi hostile to one another.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Yeah, that was the vibe.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Then.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
That's how Karen talks about it all the time, the
mid nineties competitive vibe. There's even at the green Room
in San Antonio. I remember Polly Shore had written something scathing.
I can't remember what it was, but then years later
there was an apology that he wrote next to it,
like sorry, guys, I was going through a lot at

(31:44):
this point, which I actually appreciated.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
That's funny.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
He's like, I don't even know what I meant by
saying this, but up on the wall, yeah, on the
wall that everyone signed. Yeah, there was. There was his
mean spirited thing and then an apology fifteen years.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Oga's that's progress.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Yeah, comedy has progressed, man.

Speaker 5 (32:06):
Yeah, those clubs are I always get so nervous whenever
I'm like doing like a you know, like a traditional
stand up club.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah, I'm always like okay, all.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Right, all right, all right, all right, all right, because
I you know, because like usually and most of the
time I kind of view what I do on stage
is I'm kind of doing whatever. But then there are
moments when I go into I'm doing an impression of
a stand up comedian, right, Like, I'm using all the

(32:37):
kind of the timing mechanisms, cadence, all that stuff, and
so I lean more heavily on that and a comedy
in a comedy place because it's just I don't know,
it just it makes me feel a little bit more
comfortable because I'm like, well they'll understand this.

Speaker 4 (32:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:53):
And also at the store, would you be able to
set up any equipment?

Speaker 4 (32:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (32:59):
I I could do that, Yeah for sure in the future.
I was thinking about it's like the sets are too short,
and my thing is like, if it's fifteen minutes or less,
it's not worth me coming up and setting up my stuff.
If it's like a weirdo comedy night, then maybe because
it's not that hard to set up, I just have
to rush up there and then quickly and plug the
mic and then plug it into a DII and then

(33:20):
I'm ready to go. But and then also probably have
a stool, but usually there's always a stool in comedy,
so that one works out.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Yeah, yeah, that stool comes with it.

Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's like you have to have that stool.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Well, I love traditional stand ups Reggie wattson.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
Yeah, it's it's it's fun. But the thing that you
do that I do notice that I can do. I
can be a lot more because I'm doing stuff that
because I can kind of kind of go down a
wild you know, rabbit shoot. They tend to like weirdly
kind of sometimes appreciate kind of weirder shit. Yeah, as
long as it's not too too weird, Like if it

(33:54):
gets you can lose people. If it gets too weird,
you have to you know, you have to just be careful.
But I got lucky. Like when I got up on stage,
this guy he was sitting at a table right in
front her husband wife, I assume, and he had this
coin on the table and I was like, it's like
I went over to one lady acted like she was

(34:15):
my friend, and I was like, thank you for coming
in it.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
Was really difficult whatever.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
And then I go over to the other side of
the stage and there's this couple sitting there with a
piece of paper and it has looks like a certificate
and then there was a coin on it. I was like, well,
it was like a certificate on there. It's like, what's
that what's that coin for? And the guy was like
aa And I was like, oh, okay, it just brings
with it. Yeah, I'm just like American Airlines pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
And then.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
American Airline.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
Celebrating American Airlines. It was so cool. It just like
so worked out. Everybody was losing it.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
That's great.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
It was like, hey, American Airlines.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
I wonder why hut it out? Is that I don't
avoid the to drink minimum?

Speaker 5 (35:03):
Maybe yeah, maybe maybe it's there to remind him like
not to get the drink or something, you know, because
it's there's a lot of there were a lot of
I guess I don't know. I don't know if it's
like because of Mark or you know, like maybe Mark
has a sober following right.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
More, you signed my chip?

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Yeah, Chip Chips sent chips. It's like ruffles nice. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (35:24):
I don't know, but there seemed to be some kind
of a sober faction there.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Yeah, oh for sure. I had Mark signed an empty
my last bottle of whiskey.

Speaker 4 (35:34):
Oh that's fucking fantastic. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
I stopped drinking Reggie.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
Oh you did?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
When did you stop? About five months ago? Oh my god,
it's too early to be about it.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
Are you like full sober or Cali sober? Full full? Nice?

Speaker 2 (35:48):
But I still eat chicken.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Okay, that's just that's a good.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Brand.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
Are you getting ready to go to the comedy store yourself?

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (35:57):
Yeah, yeah, just put it on the note you have that.
I see you have that notepad with the stool, Just
like write it on the note if the.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Chip guy is sitting in the front.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
Yeah, or I guess you could set it up. You
could have a friend sit there. It was like a plant.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I do a play.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
I When I first, I think I feel like I
hadn't even met you yet. I'd only seen you at
like UCB and we were both in Vegas for some festival.
I think it's where they had the Andy Kaufman Award.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
Oh yeah, that was a stupid idea.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, but I remember you being interviewed by someone and
just overheard you as I was walking past, say that
you're from Montana, and then I looked at you because
I already knew who you were as a Los Angeles comedian,
and I flashed to an image. I still don't know
if it's something I conjured or not, but I remember

(36:55):
you as a young person in Great Falls. And I
still don't know where where I would have been ever, Matthew,
because I go there at a skateboard. Oh right, right, And
I know that at some point I saw you or
Matt you in Great Falls, Montana when I was sixteen
or something.

Speaker 5 (37:14):
Yes, I mean that sounds because you know a lot
of my Yes, we have some similar crossover.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah, yeah, your good friend there, Yeah, older brother?

Speaker 4 (37:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Who is Jeff? Now? Oh, I'm sorry if you call
him JJ, it's like spitting in his face.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
I probably might to.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
Right now if I see him, I'm going to call
him JJ. And I know if you know him as
as JJ.

Speaker 5 (37:39):
Yeah, well, because I think the reason why he doesn't
want to go by JJ is because he hated J. J.

Speaker 4 (37:44):
Walker Rights as a character.

Speaker 5 (37:48):
No, I don't like that that very tall African American man.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Yeah, things are not dynamite, Yes, are indeed not.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
I like Dyno Motte but not Dynamite sorry.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
And.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Fology accepted totally.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
And then you and I got booked over a decade
ago at the same venue on purpose. It wasn't like
a double booking, like, oh, what are we going to do?
I guess get to know each other? Yeah, right, And
then it's become a tradition.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
That's right, I know. Yeah, they just kind of paired
it up, right, Is that what they do?

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yeah? Yeah, I've all of my memories are vague, you know,
because of that empty whiskey.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
Bellt all I mentioned I got.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
But now Reggie and I do a show around Christmas
in Missoula every year, and it's become that'd be a
great show. It is the funnest.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
It's it's so cool. It's really cool.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
And last time we did Bozman Amazula, Yes, which was great.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah, it was the best.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Great Falls.

Speaker 5 (38:51):
Yeah, Great Falls was tough because it was like twenty
eight below and shit.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
And I, as you recall, did not go as I
was worried about driving in that weather.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Not making it because you have to come back.

Speaker 5 (39:04):
Yes, it's not like yeah, and there's no flights inside
of Montana because that would be too convenient.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
When did you move to Great Falls?

Speaker 5 (39:15):
Nineteen seventy six, so most of your life you were there? Yeah,
I was there from age four to sixteen.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
But prior to that four to eighteen, list all the
places you lived because your your father was Air Force guy, right.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
My father was in the Force of the Airy space
for he was a space forester.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Yeah. This guy is just like, he's like, I'm just
going to take your.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Spot real slow and steady in there.

Speaker 5 (39:44):
Buddy, I always I always do that bumper to bumper.
You're not getting the fuck in there because you're dumb.
You should get the car behind you, get the space
behind me. See that's how it feels.

Speaker 4 (39:55):
I'm already ahead of you, so that means you get
the space behind me.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yeah, jerk project, but go ahead.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
Yeah Los Angeles.

Speaker 5 (40:03):
Yeah well yeah, Plus we're filming a podcast.

Speaker 1 (40:06):
Yes, I want to see him chill and uh accessible.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Yes, but the camera crew chill chilly.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
You know me, I let everybody merge.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
Yeah, I don't care. I'm just like, you know, I'll
get there for.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
Her to emergency has her own lan.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
Yeah, this person doesn't.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
I use the euro thing for when you communicate for
someone to do something which is the double double high
beam like just like and they're like, oh, that means
go ahead. But and some people get it, and then
sometimes I do it and people just they just keep
doing what they're doing, and I'm like, oh, they must
have thought I I wanted to use my turn signal
but then didn't last minute and then kind of had

(40:53):
a cramp and just want like you.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Know, like real quick. And they're like, that's just that
was a mistake.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Or they just think you're a truck driver warning them
of police being around there.

Speaker 5 (41:03):
Oh that's true, Yeah, that is true. Yeah, like slow down, man,
I just saw some police.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yeah. I always appreciate.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
I radioed me back behind and told me there's a there's.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
A brown bear on your back door.

Speaker 4 (41:14):
There's a brown bear.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
It's either there's a brown bear at your on your
back porch or there's a cop up ahead, and it's
hard to know which, but there's usually a spacing the
gap between the two flashes that will tell you.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Yeah. Yeah, it's hard. You have to count it down.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Yeah, you're just like okay, all right, hey man, what's up?
Can you check my my house?

Speaker 5 (41:35):
Because there's like, no, I'm not gonna check your house
for a bear. Oh, I forgot that someone might not
want to do that. Okay, I'll call I'll else my
bear friend.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
When we when we did that show in Montana and
you did the do you you probably don't remember when
you an entire song. That's what's amazing about your act,
but also must be is it ever frustrating that you
couldn't recreate that's Smoky the Bear? You did a he
did a song about camping. Pack in what you pack out?

Speaker 4 (42:15):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
It was the most genius moment. And that's what's so
cool about your act is it's like, yeah, you have
to see it in this moment because it's not happening again.
Do you even remember what you.

Speaker 4 (42:26):
Were Jesus now I don't.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
I mean I kind of remember it because I always
allude to, you know something about that.

Speaker 2 (42:34):
Sure in the lyrics there were things that were talking
points for you.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
Yeah, yeah, that I like talking about when I'm in
Montana because it's like, well, here's my opportunity to talk about,
you know, outdoor etiquette.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Yeah yeah, finally.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
Yeah, finally, because these these Angelinos know nothing.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Yeah yeah, it's all just pent up outdoor knowledge that
you've got to spit out. When you're up in Montana,
It's like, what's a pine cale? This whole city doesn't
even know what you're thinking of arts and crafts as
a child.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
Yeah, Jesus.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
The first time I saw you, Reggie, was at Bridgetown
and we were we were on the same show. There
were people and maybe you were one of them, smoking
pop backstage, and I got please don't apologize.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
I got the best contact type.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
It was like just enough to go on stage with
and have it be fun like it was this really
good waiting backstage contact type. But when I watched you,
because I had heard your name but I had never
actually gotten to see you, I didn't understand what was
happening for a while, and you started singing a song
about how the moisture in the air.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Causes your magazines to get moldy, and I was like, what,
this is the best song I've ever heard. And then
it then like then it was like that delay where
I'm like, oh, he's making this up buff the top
of heady. It took me such a long time. Was
the funniest It.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Is your ability to convince people that you know exactly
what you're doing in those moments where you absolutely don't
have a plan, it's no one else and the.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
Music is beautiful, like that song about the moisture near
molding things was like almost like heart wrenching beautiful, where
like what's happening?

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Great? Thanks, It's a fun mode to go into on
stage for me.

Speaker 2 (44:31):
Yeah, the song there You're smoking, the bear camping song
I would have on my iTunes.

Speaker 5 (44:38):
Oh god, maybe you know it might have been When
was it? Was it this last one time?

Speaker 2 (44:42):
No, it was like three Christmases. That's it just stands.
It was the same show where you just went into
industrial German like uh, skinny puppy type music or Romstein more. Yes, yeah,
And I've never even seen you dip your toe into
that world, so it was the best.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
That's awesome.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
That's always a fun thing to pull out because people
are really not like I did. Actually at the Comedy
Store this last couple of days ago. I started I
started like the audience for some reason when I started
doing like a rhythmic thing towards the end and had
my gear up there. I was doing like a little
beatboxy thing or whatever, and people started clapping along and
I was like, oh no, that's the worst because they

(45:26):
can't keep time right right, and you know, just collectively
they're not great at it. But then I was like,
oh fuck it, I'll just go off their tempo, you know,
and right, and then I like suggested what the vibe
of the song was, which was like a little bit
I started going into like you know, like rock guitars
things that were like.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
Whatever, we're like clapping, and then I just started over.
I was like, god, lord, show right, this is the
comedy store. I love it.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Oh god, it was great. I love that shit. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
When the time I saw you do it in Montana,
I really thought you were doing it for me. Yeah,
it is my favorite.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
Yeah, oh my god, gosh, it's it's just it's just
the best because it's like when people are just normal,
they're just used to you being a particular way. That's
the whole I mean, that's part of like what my
whole show is is just subvert I mean, all comedy
is subverting expectations. But it's like I really rely on
it heavily. Sometimes when people get really comfortable, they're like, Okay,
I know what this guy is doing, and then just

(46:34):
don't then just take up a one hundred and seventy
degree turn, and it's like.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
What do you start all over again?

Speaker 1 (46:41):
You know?

Speaker 4 (46:42):
That is I'm like, I know, I know, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Guys, guys, I need to test your boundaries.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
Yeah, sorry.

Speaker 3 (46:48):
I really love the idea of changing the rhythm of
your song to the bad clapping because there's crowd clapping
makes me so mad anytime it starts being like it's
not your place. You don't know how to do it,
Like no crowd has ever done it correctly.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
I don't think.

Speaker 5 (47:05):
Yeah, no, it's it's just hard because you have a
mixture of varying abilities and and and the aggregation of
it is generally not very good. However, certain populations, you know,
like I've been the you know, if you did it
in Brazil, I'm sure it would be no problem.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
True, there are people who are kind of pay attention
to it better.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Maybe they're just.

Speaker 5 (47:24):
There their society incorporates rhythm all the time, Like I
bet your South America would be easy, you know, but
there's just you know, the more north you go, the
the less there's just like there's just too much like
I don't know, I kind of like music, you know,
like that that kind of.

Speaker 4 (47:40):
A love I love I love boss gags what they
love it.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
But you know, and also the excitement of now I'm
in the show, that you're no longer you're not focusing
on your job of keeping time.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
You're just kind of like we're excited. And it's like
that's not the same kind of class.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
No, it's not. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Just last night on my pocket computer, I saw a
video of Harry Connick Junior playing a song and the
audience was off with the clapping, and so he adjusted
the song to it and you see him match it.
And I don't know much about that time signatures, and
I've said that before, yes, today, yes, thank.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
You for that. By the way, I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (48:24):
I don't know you have the hat I announced what
I don't know of and and time signatures are one
of them. But yeah, I could tell that he slowed
down his song and you see it sync up with
the audience clapping, and then you could see them as
they're clapping, kind of congratulating themselves because they thought they

(48:44):
got into the rhythm, but he adjusted for them.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
Yeah, that's so true.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
Yeah, it's so tough when they man, what was it,
I was maybe the late late show or something like
that where they told people not to clap when music
is happening because it is the edit. Yeah, and also
it just kind of sucks for the performer because they
it's like you can do as long as it's like
a simple thing like doom doom doom, you know, if

(49:12):
it's like something like that, and the people on stage
are kind of you know, the performers are moving in
a big gesture that's like showing the time, people can
usually hang in there. But yeah, it's it's very rare
that I've ever I'm like, oh, yeah, there it is.
They've totally locked into it.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Yeah, not for more than like six beats, I think
that's and then.

Speaker 1 (49:33):
It just is like here we go. There's somebody that
has to lead a little bit more.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
We're at the bottom of the screen. There has to
be that little bouncing red ball. Yeah yeah, yeah, totally
to let people know what to do.

Speaker 5 (49:44):
At least, they were clapping on twos and fours, which
generally when I was at the Late Late Show and
people wouldlap along, they'd be going on ones and threes,
which is like the unfunkiest beats to.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Clap on from what I know about times nature switches again.
Nothing that is frustrating that is right for it to
be the threes.

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Yeah, because it's like it's like one three one, and
it's it's so like it's just it's not because like.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
If you're doing like if it's.

Speaker 7 (50:12):
Like dude, dude, and you're doing like dude, and then
you change it to the point dude, it feels completely different.

Speaker 4 (50:27):
It's way funkier, way better.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
One in three is unnatural. It's that's like it feels
like preschool class.

Speaker 5 (50:33):
I know it is preschool clapping, but most audiences that's
what they revert to.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
It's weird. Yeah, yeah, but there's.

Speaker 1 (50:41):
Always there's not in Brazil. We've got to go down
there and study it.

Speaker 4 (50:45):
Yeah, we do.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
And also there's because there's always like my friend Bradford
calls them the dominant psycho where it's like here we go,
like I know how to do this and I'm gonna
lead it and it's just like my moment and it's
probably genuinely enthusiah good vibe. Yeah, it's like this will
help this whole idea. It's like, no, you're going against
the idea.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Actually, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
I definitely don't discount I think people really do think
they're doing something good, you know, like I'm participating and
this is fun and this is what happens.

Speaker 4 (51:15):
This is a live show. That's what we do.

Speaker 1 (51:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
Oftentimes while in an audience, I will take the role
of clap fixer. Oh you will, yeah, so's Yeah, it's
a matter of.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
Just do you just raise your hands up?

Speaker 2 (51:28):
I cut them so acoustically, I become louder. Even though
I have these tiny little uh cookie jar grabbers, I
can clap pretty loud if I I mean, we do
it every time we record. You've heard out loud. I
can clack get everything in.

Speaker 5 (51:46):
Between all the cameras and the and the audio, everything
but full production. Yeah, I get it. It looks like
you might have a flat tire.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
I know.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Yeah. That is the most ignored logo in my life.

Speaker 4 (52:00):
That's my most feared logo.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
They even put an exclamation point in this one. And
I'm like, you know what, not my problem, that's true.
Fix it yourself?

Speaker 4 (52:08):
Are you renting this?

Speaker 2 (52:09):
No?

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Is this yours?

Speaker 2 (52:11):
You?

Speaker 4 (52:12):
Just you just do you still think that they are responsible?

Speaker 1 (52:15):
I have a real they mentality. It's like, get it, why.

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Don't my parents fill up the air and my tires
type of thinking in middle age.

Speaker 5 (52:23):
Yeah, I get it. I get it, and I think
that's somehow healthy.

Speaker 1 (52:27):
I think, thank you appreciate that.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
But I think also I've gone to like gas stations
to put air in my tires, and I'm pretty sure
I didn't do anything.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
Yeah, I'm not sure how to.

Speaker 4 (52:38):
Oh you think like maybe the sensor is broken, Well no, or.

Speaker 3 (52:42):
I just don't know there's a way to do it,
and I've never been shown that way.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
So oh yeah, yeah, I don't even know how to
do that with my When I get my oil change,
I have to go back set the tire one warning to.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
Get that crazy fucking thing off there where it's like
you're it's acting like my I interpret it as my
tire might explode, and I'm like, well, that's crazy the whole.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
They shouldn't have used an exclamation point.

Speaker 4 (53:07):
Yeah, it's a little bit too. It's just too much.

Speaker 5 (53:09):
I just have had enough flat tires with my cars,
which is such a buck I just hate it. It's like,
because I have low profile wheels like tires on both
of my cars, and so they're a little bit more
prone to getting damaged, and so I'm always just waiting
for it, and.

Speaker 4 (53:27):
I'm just like, no, no, no, it's just this weird
psychological dread.

Speaker 1 (53:33):
Also lately, because we had those crazy storms, there's just
fucking potholes everywhere in this town.

Speaker 2 (53:40):
Yeah, it's it's the only reason to have a four
wheel drive car is for street driving in Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
That's true.

Speaker 2 (53:48):
You're fine in the mountains without it.

Speaker 4 (53:50):
Yeah, that's so true. Yeah, four wheel drives.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
But I've never I've ignored every warning light because I've
throughout my whole life, I've always had cars where just
lights are on and on the dash because I jump
started someone once, oh yeah, and it blew out some
fuses and so now I have a vibrant, colorful dash.
So but in this car, it's not just the explanation point.

(54:13):
I feel like, because it's a nice new car, we
when we're done recording, I will go with you.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
We will will take a look.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
Yeah, I mean I look at the tires and one
doesn't seem any lower than the others or flatter or anything.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Yeah, but then.

Speaker 5 (54:32):
It's you'd be surprised, like the tires like, well, they'll
retain they'll retain their shape, but they'll still be low,
which which is kind of Yeah. I've noticed on my
like my cars, they if the tires fly, you can
barely tell if it's fine. It would have to be
like zeroed in order for it to collapse.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Yeah, those low pro those low pros.

Speaker 5 (54:50):
Yeah, the low pros because they have a tougher sidewall,
so the sidewall maintains rigidity longer. But like, yeah, the
on a car like this, you've got like kind of
normal wheels, so you might be able to tell.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
But so kind of we could be really on the
verge of serious.

Speaker 5 (55:07):
Danger, right, there could be some serious, huge, massive danger.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
It wouldn't be a do night? Do you need? What
just happened to me? Do you night? I said, do
you night? And Roy episode with danger? They rot Otherwise,
you don't thank you. If I had you, if I

(55:32):
had your back every time, Regie, I would never sound
like an idiot.

Speaker 4 (55:35):
See come on, it takes a willage.

Speaker 2 (55:38):
Well, I ordered one of those little it looks like
a walkie talkie but it fills up tires with air,
and on my bike, I'm fine with it. But the
minute I hooked it up to my car, all of
a sudden, this this montage of different viral videos I've
seen of tires exploding in faces.

Speaker 4 (55:55):
Are you serious?

Speaker 5 (55:56):
I don't know why I've scared, because I've I've done that.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
Well.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
I have like I have like a bunch of portable compressors,
you know, and they you just set the amount that
you do and you just like you know, plug it
in or whatever and you just turn it on.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Just walk away.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Well okay, so I don't. I just don't need to
be it'll stop.

Speaker 5 (56:18):
Well, it'll stop, yeah, yeah, yeah, as long as it
has like as long as you have the kind that
like you put in the amount of pressure you want, right, well,
then you just walk away.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
I think the problem with my You can choose bike,
you can choose for not Frisbee. You know those choose Frisbee.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (56:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (56:32):
Is it because I have it on air Fizzy film Frisbee.

Speaker 4 (56:35):
Frisbel it's a film about a dog.

Speaker 5 (56:39):
Air Frisbee, yeah, or a German film about it an
inventor of a magical tisk.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
But I didn't realize I could put it on the
car icon and just walk away.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
Yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
I don't need to stare with my face at the
tire six inches away.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
Get your face out of there for sure.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Yeah, I jam it in the wheel well and the
so loud.

Speaker 4 (57:01):
It's like.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
This is a little guy, that's why. Yeah, they're really loud.
Yeah they're so small. They make they're smaller and smaller,
but it just takes them a long time to fill
it up.

Speaker 4 (57:11):
That's why I bought this. I haven't used it yet,
but it's.

Speaker 5 (57:13):
A it's a double chambered compressor. So and it doesn't
you came to plug it into a wall. You have
to plug you have to hook it up to your
car battery. Wow, so you have to put it on
your man's Like even on an electric car, you can
access the terminals, so you just you click it to
the terminals and then and then you and then you
fill up your tire. It's like meant for like off road,
you know, vehicles where people depressurized for going off road,

(57:35):
you know, and then they repressurize when they're on the
highway again. And so it's fast. You can fill up
your tire in like a minute. It's like super fast.
And that's all I wanted. I wanted to just I
was tired of like and then I like go into
my house and I can still here and I'm there
for like ten minutes.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Okay, so I clearly just didn't leave it on long enough.
It takes so long that it takes like, clearly this
has been ten minutes. This is going to explode.

Speaker 4 (58:01):
Yeah, I know, I know, because it's so tiny.

Speaker 2 (58:03):
Okay, like all the other voices, I'm going to ignore
that one in my head.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
Yeah yeah, yeah, that's when you can take off the list.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Yes, I love this very specific expertise that you have.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
It's very impressive.

Speaker 2 (58:15):
I've seen you in your talk gadgets and cars, and
you're act and everyone's fascinated. Actual information is being given.

Speaker 4 (58:24):
It's true.

Speaker 5 (58:25):
I do love I do love trying to like when
people are like not into something you know or like,
or they seem uninterested in a bit of technology, or
they're like I just give up on like that. That's
where I come in. I'm always like, no, actually, it's
it's it's not that hard. Blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
You know. I just love that.

Speaker 2 (58:44):
I saw you stick to your guns so much that
a lot of Bozeman is now looking into electric cars
because of you.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
That's so awesome. Yeah, I know, I.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
Know, yeah you really and convince me too, because that's
what I'm holding out for.

Speaker 5 (59:00):
Yeah, I mean electric cars are great, and they're coming
down prices too.

Speaker 4 (59:04):
The Bulbo just announced that X thirty just now.

Speaker 5 (59:06):
It's like a really tiny suv and they have an
off road version coming out and it's only like forty grand.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Have you done any reading up on the Polster Oh,
the Polestar, Yeah, Polestar, Yeah, Pollstar.

Speaker 4 (59:18):
Which Polestar two?

Speaker 5 (59:20):
The two? Yeah, the two is great. It's a really
cool car. Yeahah, it's a great one.

Speaker 2 (59:24):
So you support me having dreams of getting.

Speaker 5 (59:27):
Oh, Pollstars are great, Yeah, they're super environmental, told you Karen.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Yeah, yeah, I've never heard of puls Poster pull Star.

Speaker 2 (59:40):
There's just a logo. There's no text anywhere on it.
Then now they have some little helvetica about down.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
By the by the sensors.

Speaker 2 (59:47):
Yeah yeah, and near the sensors, as Reggie said. And
so I actually it's just a company like Tess.

Speaker 4 (59:56):
It's a Volvo.

Speaker 5 (59:58):
It's a Pulvo performance Volvo. It's like it's a performance
brand for Volvo.

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
I'm I love the way it looks.

Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:06):
It's a simple, boxy like if you ask a kid
to draw a car. It does that in shape.

Speaker 4 (01:00:11):
Yeah, it's very very Swedish.

Speaker 5 (01:00:14):
Yeah, it's very like it's just sensible but elegant in
the very kind of light classical ways.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
I knew you would sell me on it and it
would sound it would have the words straight out of
the catalog.

Speaker 5 (01:00:30):
It's it's great post Polestar is great and super environmental.
They they're trying to do full closed loop manufacturing, meaning
they can recycle all of their cars, like almost like
percent of their cars can be recycled. They let they
label all the metals, the different types of metals they
use in the car are all labeled, and so when
the car comes back to them, if it's total or

(01:00:51):
something like that, they can fully pull it apart and
they can reclaim all the all the materials.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
That's great.

Speaker 5 (01:00:57):
Yeah, it's really really great company. And and it's just
a great car. Electric cars are so easy, so easy
to maintain.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
You know, I have to worry about tires, that's it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Pay attention to.

Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
Not everybody worries about tires, so you know that's so
I guess you have no worries, just no worries whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
What I'm really impressed by and I thought it would
be the opposite is its.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
Car is insanely fast.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
Oh it's crazy.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
And when I first got it, I would be at
like stop lights and like BMW's would pull up and
rev their engine and want to race.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Me to the next light. See if it the zero
does six.

Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
Steak and yeah, And then I was like oh okay,
and I would just be like blowing people out of
the water or like you know on.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
You will you've been street racing.

Speaker 1 (01:01:44):
Well lightly, I mean just to be like if you
would like to do this.

Speaker 6 (01:01:47):
Surfe Yeah, yeah, just.

Speaker 1 (01:01:50):
Like if you're going to force my hand. Now I
beat you at this, And it's so fun.

Speaker 3 (01:01:55):
It's like the pick up especially compared to the car
I had before to pick up getting onto the free
or anything, there's it's like easy.

Speaker 1 (01:02:03):
It becomes so stress free.

Speaker 5 (01:02:04):
Yeah, it's it's like the closest thing you can feel
to being a superhero.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
Yeah, you know where you're like I need to get
over there. Oh here, I'm over there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
But you also don't feel because of the compression. I
drive it in the compression mode, so you don't feel
out of control. Like the second you take your foot
off the gas, you're slowing down.

Speaker 4 (01:02:22):
Oh yeah, yeah, you mean the regenerative breaking.

Speaker 5 (01:02:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, and I don't in this car.
Can you set the levels of it? I believe in
my and my I used.

Speaker 4 (01:02:30):
To have a Tesla Model S and a P eighty five.

Speaker 5 (01:02:34):
D and after that, and you could set the regent level.
But then I rented a three recently and I couldn't
figure out how to set the regent level. So I
was wondering, like maybe Tesla was like, fuck it just
one regen level for all of our cars.

Speaker 2 (01:02:48):
Yeah, he's been He's had a real fucking attitude lately.

Speaker 1 (01:02:52):
He has been focusing on the wrong things, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
What the hell is this guy speaking and focusing on
the wrong things. I hope hit that curb. Actually, that
was some impress dumb dumb until I saw him confidently
take that turn. Now I like him.

Speaker 5 (01:03:07):
Yeah, now he's now, he's gettable.

Speaker 4 (01:03:10):
Now he's in charge. That guy's Charles.

Speaker 2 (01:03:12):
I am. I am confronted after this. You guys would
be so mad if you saw my tires right now.
People flag me down and tell me that they're low strangers.
I know, I know.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
I might have a compressor you can borrow. I have
a better compressor.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
I think you I definitely have because I have like
five It's so, are you still doing your Watts app?

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
That it still exists? But it's not. There's no updates
to it or anything. The guy that was kind of
managing it or overlooking it or whatever the fuck he
he Well, he was just too much money. Yeah, But
then I really wasn't using the app, you know, I
wanted it. I was trying to make it like, this
is my content on my app, you know, yeah, guys

(01:03:58):
follow you know, follow my app or what ever, and
and it just I don't know, I just didn't have
the team to like make it a thing.

Speaker 1 (01:04:06):
Yeah, do a lot of work.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Also, I'd like to apologize for never doing you wanted
artwork for it, and I just never did it for WhatsApp.
Oh You're like, I want a T shirt and I'm like, okay,
I can do that. I just went on a bike.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
It's totally okay because it didn't really matter.

Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
It turns out, So, I mean someday, I mean, it
still exists, so it's in the app store, I think
hopefully indefinitely, but maybe I'll be able to do something
with it in the future.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
Well, I still my offer still stands.

Speaker 4 (01:04:42):
Okay, Well, if I get back on it, I will
let you know.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
I feel like, yeah, you should definitely go, sir, Yeah
you should. I mean that was your right.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Absolutely, some of that sweet sweet Dodgers traffic. I guess baseball.
It's America's reason for stopping in the street.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
Oh there's the Elliott Smith wall. Yeah, they kept it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
There's times I've walked past it and I'm in a
pretty good mood by this Mexican restaurant. Well not now
that I'm saying it's closed.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
Closed, that's so crazy.

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
But then I get bummed out when I go past
that wall. I'm not kidding. There was like a feeling
that overcame me, and then I realized it's because it's
the Elliott Smith wall.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Because of Elliott Smith, it's.

Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
A sad wall or RSP what's now just when someone dies?

Speaker 4 (01:05:31):
Oh? Respect, mad respect, mad respect.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
Respect, infuriated respect towards you and your memory.

Speaker 2 (01:05:41):
I'm blousy with respect for that guy, Regie.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
Do have anything that you want to table plug get.

Speaker 2 (01:05:49):
Out emotionally, information wise, just anything.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
Well, I have a book coming out.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Oh please let it be about Montana.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
It's well, it's called Great Falls Month.

Speaker 5 (01:06:01):
Yes, yeah, it's just an autobiography and focuses primarily on
Great Falls, my upbringing there, and then like mostly about
my high school experiences. It goes a little bit into Seattle, Seattle,
and a little bit into New York.

Speaker 2 (01:06:19):
But oh yeah, you went to the famed Art Institute,
a place where in high school I wanted to go
so bad and learn how to airbrush milkshakes or whatever
I saw on the brochure. And they had a program.
When I was seventeen, I went to like a week
long camp and you went there and you took classes.
I think it was my parents letting me know, we

(01:06:41):
cannot afford this school, but you can go to the
Fantasy Camp. And it was one of the best experiences
of my life. It was so cool. We're just there
for a week, and I wanted to go there so badly,
But it was around that time, shortly after you were
probably in the building doing music.

Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
Yeah, but I didn't know they did all that. That's
pretty cool.

Speaker 2 (01:07:02):
Yeah, it was the coolest thing ever.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Wait, so was it high school or a college level college?

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
College?

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
Yeah, I was, I was still in high school. It
was the coolest thing ever. I wonder if they still
do that I kept in touch with all the kids
I met. It was like one of those first times
I was like without my parents on a road trap
with other kids.

Speaker 4 (01:07:21):
I felt so all that feels always so awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:07:25):
Yeah, and then to land at art like an art
school or an art camp where like I got to
go to one of those one year and it was
just mayhem and kind of like we went to a
small school, so it was like kids from the city
teaching us how to be like drama nerds or like art,
you know what I mean. Like it was just kind
of like, oh, this is how you do it, Like

(01:07:45):
listen to the smiths and you have to get a
certain kind of haircut, and yeah, get your sailor stripe
sailor shirt, and you know, be an individual, get into mime.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Yeah, was it the best. Right when we arrived, we
were all on a bus. They were shooting a movie
and it was actually a sunny day in Seattle, but
for the movie they had to make it look rainy,
so there was just this giant shade and fake rain
coming down, and we saw they were just filming two
guys walking on a sidewalk, and then we turned and
then it wasn't until a couple of years later. It

(01:08:20):
was that scene and when Harry met Sally or sorry
sleepless in Seattle, of course, where there was an actual
scene and it was from the vantage point of frat
of exactly where we were. I'm not I'm not fully convinced.
I wasn't a camera person on that movie, is what
I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:08:37):
Yeah, yeah, it is possible.

Speaker 2 (01:08:40):
Yeah, it was in the Union.

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:42):
Yeah, it's a parody of information. Yeah, I'm always on
it in the Onion, But it was, yeah, it was.
I saw that scene.

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
It was.

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
It was I'm not here to brag.

Speaker 4 (01:08:54):
Yeah, no, it's it's not. I don't think it's bragging.
If it happened to.

Speaker 1 (01:08:58):
You, yeah, because it's real.

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
Yeah, if it's real, it's not brag.

Speaker 3 (01:09:02):
Did you find it like easy to write a book
or was it did you have to really sit down
and focus?

Speaker 5 (01:09:11):
Well, I worked with a phantom writer, so I all
I did was sit back, tell stories, that's great, relive
my thing, and then the phantom writer would just kind
of ask questions, you know, and is that the.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
Same as a ghost writer or what is it? What's
the difference between phantom and ghost.

Speaker 4 (01:09:31):
Well, phantom is like like a better ghost.

Speaker 2 (01:09:35):
Okay, slightly scary, I mean in the spiritual realm.

Speaker 4 (01:09:38):
Yeah, it's just more powerful.

Speaker 5 (01:09:40):
Okay, wow, yeah, phantoms are way more probably, I mean,
I mean the highest level you can get is a
wraith writer.

Speaker 1 (01:09:49):
But the screaming, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (01:09:51):
Yeah, there's a lot of wailing and of teeth.

Speaker 2 (01:09:54):
All the ten sided die Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:56):
Yeah, there's a lot of yeah, a lot of die rolling.

Speaker 5 (01:10:00):
And it's just like every decision you make, it's like,
let's consult.

Speaker 1 (01:10:04):
The die please, no, not again?

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Yeah, exactly when is your what come out?

Speaker 2 (01:10:09):
Because that's a book I will read. I don't make
that threat ever.

Speaker 4 (01:10:13):
Yes, I get it.

Speaker 5 (01:10:15):
Yeah, it's October seventeenth, and it's available on pretty much
wherever books are sold. But you can pre order it,
pre order it on Oh there's a two here you go,
it's your pollstar.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Oh well see it's nice. Get one.

Speaker 5 (01:10:28):
Yeah, it's available, yeah, you know, like on Amazon. You
can pre order it nice and might be able to
pre order in other places too.

Speaker 4 (01:10:37):
And then I'm going to do an audiobook for it
as well.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Oh and of course do the Karen you did that
as well, right, you did the voiceover for your own book.

Speaker 1 (01:10:45):
We did.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
Yeah, that'll be fun.

Speaker 4 (01:10:47):
Was it fun?

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
It was fun? It was a little What's funny is
when I would go to say it read something I'd written,
I felt like it was this third person separated, So
I was kind of like, is this the voice I
should be using? It was weird.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
It was kind of like going to read a thing
and feeling like I'm clicking into yet another part of
my personality.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
To be the reader.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
Yeah, that's crazy when the character is you and you
don't know if you're right for the part.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
Yeah, exactly, Like I'm definitely not getting this subdition. No,
you got it, and you have to do it. That's
the bad man.

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
Wow, I do love that.

Speaker 3 (01:11:25):
Yeah, that's I mean, maybe what I'm saying is I
was dissociating while I was doing it.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
But yeah, that's so exciting. And when I said I'd
read the book, I'm going to wait for the audio
version because I want you to read me the book. Reggie.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah, hopefully I'll do an okay job.

Speaker 4 (01:11:43):
I wanted to a first time.

Speaker 5 (01:11:45):
Wanted to have Fred Armison read it because I was
just I thought it would be funny to have someone
else read my book. Yes, narrate my book, I should say,
but no, that's a job. I can't wait. Yep, in
an old school cop car, which is that kind of
rare fake they're always.

Speaker 4 (01:12:04):
Usually scvs, so it's always and I'm like, that's not right.
That's a movie cop for all I know.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
That's someone that just bought a used cop car. I
don't even think you have to spray paint it black anymore.
You can just buy them. Yeah, And it's so confusing
and frustrating.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
Yeah, I know that is.

Speaker 5 (01:12:19):
It's especially when they leave the searchlight on it. Yes,
it happens all.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
The It does happen all the time, civilians out there
pretending to be cops and they don't get in trouble.
But when I wear a badge at.

Speaker 5 (01:12:31):
The mall, yeah, this should be the one place that
you should be able to kind of do badges.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
I got a badge recently.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
For what we below?

Speaker 5 (01:12:42):
Yeah, we below. It's like it's like, well, why why
aren't you above? But yeah, it's no. It's a it's
called the eleven ninety nine Foundation, and they you kind
of donate to a police organization called eleven nine a
nine foundation, and they give you this license plate bracket

(01:13:03):
it says eleven ninety nine, and then.

Speaker 4 (01:13:05):
They give you this really cool bronze.

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
Badge that's in like a like a wallet, like a
badge comes in and it looks real. Yeah, and it
has your name on it. It has your member number.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Have you misused it yet to get what you want?

Speaker 5 (01:13:19):
Well, I mean, I guess the idea is if you
were ever caught speeding in California, like on the highway,
and you get pulled over by a highway patrol, the
license first, hopefully they'll see the license plate.

Speaker 2 (01:13:30):
Brun it's's so funny that you and then you'll have
your badge. I the sheriffs when I lived in Austin,
the sheriffs used to cold call. I'd answer the phone
and they're like, do you want to donate? And they'd
be really aggressive. And I got intimidated once and I donated,
and they sent me a sticker and I put it
on my car, and then they would like badger me

(01:13:53):
every year to donate again. I'm like, there's other things
I feel much more strongly about. But I got I
got over for speeding in a school zone. I wasn't
even going that fast and the guy was screaming at
me and then he saw that sticker, and I thought
he was going to invite me over for dinner. It
not only did get me out of a ticket, I

(01:14:14):
had a friend I didn't want for life. Wow, but
it did. It did.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
I wish they would have gave me a sticker.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
Yeah, it really does.

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
Because because you know, the license plate bracket is. It's cool,
but I would rather have a sticker and just have
a regular, like a normal licensed plate bracket because it
does kind of fuck with the color of my.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
Car, right, the aesthetics get fucked up.

Speaker 5 (01:14:37):
Yeah, I kind of, I kind of, you know, because
it's just like it's just silver, and like my it
just looks better when you have that.

Speaker 4 (01:14:43):
Black license plate, like just by itself. Yeah, on there.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
I do appreciate that. On all your cars, you've had
that Dead Kennedy's sticker.

Speaker 4 (01:14:53):
Yep, that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
Is it on your new car too?

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
Yeah? On both my car.

Speaker 1 (01:14:57):
Can'd of imagine if you were pulled over by a
cop who also like the Dead Kennedy, you'd be set.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Yeah, it'd be great, both of his worlds colliding. It
would blow his mind.

Speaker 5 (01:15:06):
It's like, yeah, and I have only only the only
other sticker I have on there is another band called
Nice and uh that's it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Those are my only stickers.

Speaker 1 (01:15:16):
Nice Nice, Nice Nice.

Speaker 2 (01:15:20):
Well, this isn't your house, but we're gonna drop you off.

Speaker 2 (01:15:39):

podcast where you don't see her face.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
I kind of like the idea like part of me.
It's like, well, man should get out and just like
I'll never know if it was.

Speaker 4 (01:15:48):
Actually those people. Yeah, sound sounded so like you.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):

ponytail ship, you know, front car. Oh my god, I'll
see you in Montana. And I assume you mentioned me
in your book. Yes, I opened doors. I know. I
