We uh boy, it's been a while since I've seen you.

My god, how your hair looks so long?

Speaker 5 (01:24):
Yes, you look like have you been overseas? We just
let's let's.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Let people in. Okay, we just finished an episode. We
were sugar crashing, so we decided, hey, let's stop this episode. Yeah,
we waited one whole minute and now we're starting to you. Yeah,
but don't worry. We got sugar right here in the console.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's fine there, don't worry about us. I'm eating on
the show. We'll always do it for you.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yes. In the drink holder, there's large horse sized sugar cubes.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Actually, can I show you something that made me laugh?
And I do not know how this got here in
the drinkholder here on my side.

Speaker 4 (02:05):
Look, just one peanut.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
There's a peanut, and I don't it's a full old
fashioned mister peanut style. It just needs a monocle and
some tap shoes. And this is mister peanut. Yes, a peanut.
I didn't put it here. I don't eat peanuts like
I'm like at a baseball game.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
I don't know where it came from. And it's here.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Is so bizarre. You have a classic nineteen forties roasted peanut.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Just one put it in your mouth?

Speaker 4 (02:35):
I do dare me?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Well, what's it from that? Like a squirrel could have
put it in there?

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah, but he doesn't get inside that shell. The nuts
are fine.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Okay, uh oh, I think I have to do it
like a full turnaround and then.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Right yeah, okay, yeah, it's just like uber drive have
they have to worry about it all the time. Yeah,
which side of the street are you on? I am guys?

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Pinut surprises?

Speaker 3 (03:03):
Am?

Speaker 5 (03:03):
I right?

Speaker 4 (03:03):
It's insane. Yeah, that's almost scary.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
Yeah, just because.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
It's a haunted food from yesteryear just in your modern car.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's true. And also it's like even my squirrel excuse
is like, well what are you talking?

Speaker 5 (03:22):
Oh wait, am ie? Two differently right now?

Speaker 4 (03:24):
I think you're in the middle.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
But but I don't think.

Speaker 5 (03:27):
I see now we're back in one length.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
You were fine. You were fine that whole time. It
just had the feel of you were almost that person
that we hate, the one that drives in the middle.
Yes see, now it.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Would be bad, Yeah, now it would be.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
That was just bad civic design.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
My thing is, where would a panut? Like did a
funny friend do the peanut? And then I'm just not
getting how funny that is?

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Right? What I think? A left or right?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Sorry, it's back behind us?

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Yeah right, there's two options, and I always mess it up.
Oh and now we're looking at a dead end. I
take full responsibility.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
This is good content right here, listener, we're in an alley.
There's a porta Patti. There's some garbage. You wouldn't believe
what we're looking at right now?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Was it?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
I don't. It's something very well known. But what show
or movie was it? Where it's a meeting where you're
supposed to be serious and someone just sets a pez
dispenser up and it sits there and they both can't
stop laughing because it's just a pez dispenser. I don't know,
maybe it was an episode of Seinfeld, but yeah, some

(04:40):
a friend just placing a random singular object for you
to find later or to notice, and you're surprised by it.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
But I'm truly racking my brain of like, what friend
has been in my car recently?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Oh, the friend that put the peanut. There is an
apparition that is translucent and from another time.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
He is a ghost peanut. Yes.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
The people are always under the misconception that a new
car can't be haunted since you're the first owner.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Oh that's not true.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
I've seen movies recently where ghosts can travel and go
to different dimensions and they don't have to stay in
that house or apartment.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You've seen movies about.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
That, yes, yes, yeah, and they documentaries, so they have
to be real.

Speaker 5 (05:28):
Yeah, it's all real. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
I've always thought about that though. Why can't ghosts why
they have to wear the same clothes and be in
the same house. Can't they get naked and go outside
and haunt another house?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Guess not? The energy doesn't last. My thing is, and
I know we've talked about this.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I'm just so afraid of I'm going to get caught
in a bad outfit forever.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
And I know that for a fact, because I don't.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I'm always dressing for convenience instead of like, you know,
beauty or effect. Right, And it's like, so I'm literally
just gonna be wearing this.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
Yeah into Trinity.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Yeah, I died sledding and your mismatched boots, your your
grandpa's old jacket.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
I wonder if I just pull up here, yeah, curb, Hey,
what's up?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
I think we've done it.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
I hope.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
So I'm very excited for today's guests. This is true,
well those guests that it's just exciting. But also we
don't do you know.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
I know people who know him, but I've never met him.
I don't know him, And so.

Speaker 4 (06:33):
There's a nervousness, but that good kind of nervousness.

Speaker 5 (06:36):
We just have to remember to be interesting in ourselves.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
No, no, yeah, we don't be ourselves, be more interesting,
interesting and interested, right exactly?

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Okay, like what are you?

Speaker 4 (06:51):
What do you like? Right? I don't know. I feel
like that's directed towards me.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
I need.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
I haven't been doing that. Is that what you're saying.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
No, I'm taking a joke about how you make conversation
with people you don't know.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Right where it's like, well you.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, fine, I'll ask him about their lives. Fine, describe
where dreams I've had, the moment he gets in the car.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
No, please, no cats with broken legs talks.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
I just can't, absolutely not. I will not talk about
animals in any way.

Speaker 5 (07:27):
We can't get through it, we won't make it.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
I will not talk about the coyote in my neighborhood.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Why is it suffering something?

Speaker 5 (07:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
He's just walking around and seems tired. Yeah, a lot
of people. I posted a photo of them. People were
inquiring about it. So it's it's it does make sense
that I give an update. Still doing okay, looks a
little better. It was just hot that week.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
Get it out, yep.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
Anything else you need to say.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
When I saw him go around the corner, he start
tap dancing. I think it's just an act. He's a
healthy showman.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
You just trying to get people to pity him and
give him bowls of water.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
It's one of those coyotes that one hundred percent looks
like a dog that like if you had the wrong
prescription lenses, you would just put a leash on it
and give it a dog bowl. Oh, I found this dog.
I think someone did that, and I think it may
have been Martha Kelly.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Oh that's in the first episode of Baskets.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
Isn't that funny?

Speaker 5 (08:30):
Or one episode of Baskets?

Speaker 4 (08:32):
But it was I remember when I watched it. It
was based in a Martha Kelly troop.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Oh she really did it.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
Yeah, I think that it was a story that I
don't know. We have to have Martha back on to
get to the bottom.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
We need it.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
We do need Martha back on.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
But we're just spinning our wheels. We have a guest
today and they're gonna come out momentarily.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
We couldn't be more excited.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yes, I'm very excited.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
And we did save for munchkins for him.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
You know what, I'm gonna close the lids, so good idea.
Maybe he just like, oh, you bought a four pack
in a slightly larger box.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Yeah, they ran out of four pack boxes. He's like,
I'm from the East Coast. We know there's no four packs.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
He talks like that.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Yeah, kind of like a French guy.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Get ready, don't make fun of him for.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
His accents from the schools.

Speaker 4 (09:21):
I don't know that was it. We don't do accents.
We don't do impressions, never have. We do some impersonations,
and Karen does imitations, but we don't do voices or impressions.
We are like a litigious rich little my dad. He

(09:41):
does imitations. He doesn't do impressions. He does impersonations, not impressions.
Like there was like a which makes sense now, rich Little, like.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Please don't yell at me.

Speaker 5 (09:54):
First of all, rich Little, Karen pull over.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Rich Little used to just do the voice and say
something that person would say.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Right, that's an impersonation.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
Yeah, like he would just get on stage and go,
well the economy, Nancy and I like there was no jokes,
got but impressions. You are much like a printing on
a parchment. Your you're you're leaving an you're changing it.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh, it's an interpretation of the personality.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yes, yes, it's like when people do Jack Nicholson, but
it's Jack Nicholson doing a bunch of other shit.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Yes, exactly. Okay, what if Jack Nicholson.

Speaker 5 (10:41):
Was evil?

Speaker 4 (10:41):
Canebel right, Yeah, and then someone would do boy, that's
comedy used to be so bad.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
It was different.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
It was different.

Speaker 3 (10:50):
I mean that kind of stuff was like vaudeville based, right, right.
That took a while to wind itself out in popular culture.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
But it's fun.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Like sorry, it's fun when someone can sound exactly like
another person.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yes, and you're not expecting it.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
There's a lot of really good like Denzel impressions that
every time they make me laugh really hard.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Yeah, and I you would be speaking of our pell.
James o Domain was just on He a guest on
Kimmel the other night.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Oh was he?

Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah, because for his comedy special, yes, which.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
Is so Yeah. Obviously Kimmel loves him and he's been
on there. It's the MyPillow guy and he rattled through
so many organically and.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
Did he kill it?

Speaker 4 (11:36):
He killed it?

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Oh, I love hearing it.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
And Jimmy's comfortable around him, so he let him go
and interjet like and tagged a few jokes like and
made James laugh really hard like it was perfect.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Oh great, Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's uh.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's hard.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Those kinds of things are hard because even though James
Domain himself has done a million things like that live
Live to tape, you know, high pressure, quote unquote, like
he's built for it. But there's something about sitting in
a chair and having to approximate a conversation that is
like next tier difficulty for most people.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Right unless you sit next to each other and podcast
all the time. Like you and I would be a
breeze in the wind so easy, it'd be a skip
in the park.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
We'd breeze it up.

Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, because I'm a real wind bag. Do we let
our guests know? I feel now that we're It's sometimes
when you're in front of someone's house this long, you
think the neighbors are going to be like, that's it,
I'm calling someone.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Yeah, well you don't have to call someone because we're
the FEDS.

Speaker 5 (12:42):
That would be my answer for you.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
And actually we're in a k car. We're both wearing
solid black, we both have shades on. Yeah we are
clearly you don't want us in your neighborhood. If we
were driving right back right by right now, we would
and interrogate us.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
Yes, we would be like are you creeps?

Speaker 1 (13:03):
And we don't stare at neighbors.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah, are you weirdo? No, you're you have a uniform
and you're part of a security Okay.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Thank you, Okay, sounds good.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
We asked for his for directions from that guy. That
was so funny and immediately realized he was legit. Never mind,
we'll just use the giant laptop that is glued to
the dashboard.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Thanks security guard.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
That was fun. It's it's not enough time has passed
with that to be mistaked.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
No, it needs he needs like three years.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
It gotta go only early two thousands to see this.
What I'm talking about is what's happening?

Speaker 5 (13:43):
Do they need to leave?

Speaker 4 (13:45):
Are you pulling out? We're just waiting for the neighbor
to get in the car.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
Yeah, oh no, we can.

Speaker 1 (13:51):
Pull up though if somebody is coming to get you.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
That's yeah.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
That worked out perfectly.

Speaker 5 (13:59):
That's great. Oh that was a classic.

Speaker 4 (14:02):
What happened?

Speaker 5 (14:03):
I love the classic?

Speaker 4 (14:06):
Yeah, you know from clubs and colleges across the country
for your ears together for Matt Wall that was one
of those classic. Like the time I thought a valet
guy was coming to take my car at UCB, at
at birds or whatever they have the valet guy and
the guy just got in my car and sat there,

(14:29):
and then I realized he thought I was the Uber drive.
That's happened many times.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I thought that neighbor was going to be like.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
Move it along. Yeah, yeah, I thought so too.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
We're just like shit, sorry, he.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
Had the confused look in his eye. I think that
he was just he thought he had just called Nuber. Anyway,
Hi Matt, Hi you guys, thank you, Hi joining us.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
I'm excited. I'm excited we are as well.

Speaker 4 (14:56):
That's what we were just saying before you got in
the car.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
I love that's a nice car. Two. I was expecting
like a, I don't know, it's just a junker.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah, no, way, not on this show.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
First class. I love it.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah. Well that was the first few seasons, the junker era.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
But now I won't besmirch my neighbors. But there was
a time when I thought they were mobbed up. Oh oh,
so you're trying the gentleman that you were talking to.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
I was like, oh, yes, he shoots us both in
the back of the head.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
Well no not, they're lovely. But it's also like I
was a little worried, like, oh.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
Yes, he had a connected like like he he could
handle himself. But then I saw his kind face.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
And they're very kind.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah, there's no way, even though he looks like a
soprano that lifts swedes.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yes, necklace is really big.

Speaker 3 (15:53):
Yeah, I mean like that's you're asking for it, if
you're going to wear a necklace.

Speaker 5 (15:56):
Yeah, I think. Yeah, he was not upset. But we're
not profiling people by their body type or their jewelry.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
No, but those two things combined, of course we will
what choice do we have, certainly not on their own
body type of jewelry, but that combined with the his
but his sense the fragrance he chose, Oh.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Was there a lot of I didn't get a lot
of fragrance. I just I came in the back door.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
It waffed it in and it's just a memory.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
Now.

Speaker 4 (16:23):
You smell terrific, by the way.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
Yes, I appreciate it. I put a little cologne on
so I was working out in the yard, so I
didn't want to be like sweaty.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
How's it going, what's going down?

Speaker 5 (16:36):
What's going down? I was thinking we could get some
chicken feed today, perfect in Burbank, But I don't know
if it's still.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
Open, how many chickens and our.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
Seven chickens right now, and we get about two or
three eggs a day. And I started during the pandemic
and I built a janky coop on my own and
my wife was like, you got to get rid of that.
That looks like Sandford and sunlight there.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
So did you have someone come over that makes catos
and chicken coops for.

Speaker 5 (17:05):
Yeah, there's a place in Lompoc, California called Dare to
Dream and you can order chickens and you can order
chicken coops and they can you can even get like
probably like perennial flowers and stuff. They're kind of a
farm friendly agriculture business. And it's just past Santa Barbara
up there. So I ordered it and they came in

(17:27):
and they built They didn't really build it. They just
set it up and level it off and put it
hung the doors on it.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
So that's so cool.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
Yeah, it is cool. It is nice.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
How often do they produce eggs?

Speaker 5 (17:40):
Yeah? I get like two or three a day, and
then we used to have roosters, but the roosters too, No,
because it's kind of busy corner. Nobody complains that. I've
actually gotten letters from neighbors who say they love the roosters. Oh,
they just slip it in the mailbox and say, like,
I can't tell you how nice it is to have
a bit of country in this busy city.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
What if that's your neighbors threatening you in a way
that you don't realize.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Oh it's a passive aggressive girl.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
I love those chickens.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Wait do you It wasn't from those neighbors. It was
from a different neighbor.

Speaker 4 (18:12):
Honey, we got another rooster love letter, just like.

Speaker 5 (18:16):
Two people and we can we know the family, So
I think it's sincere. But the roosters one was killed
by a hawk. Oh but he was defending the hens,
so that was his glory day.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Oh did you were you? Do you have kids? Yeah,
we have three, and so that must have been hard.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
By the time they're grown up, the kids have sort
of lost their attachment to them a little bit. But yeah,
it was a little gory. Yeah, it was a little hard.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Yeah, that was my first thought, as it's like, because
it's so hard to even have a cat that lives
outdoors in Los Angeles. Yeah, but I feel like you're
not in a coyote area.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
The coyotes. We've never had a coyote in the yard.
It's a little too busy and uh. But what's it
interesting about roosters is there's we had two roosters, so
there's always an alpha, and we got him as chicks
and they were called Blackie and Scrownie, and Scrownie was
kind of the runt and Blackie was the alpha. So
the alpha would sleep on the roost with like two

(19:15):
female hens, and Scronnie would sleep underneath him and basically
get pooped on, you know. Oh, it was the pecking order.
But then I was gone for a while and my
wife's like, Scrownie's the alpha. I don't know what happened,
but now Scrownie's the alpha and its flipped.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
So they must have settled some scuffle in the yard
some night. Yeah, and then Blackie was down below getting
pooped on and Scronnie was up on the perch with
the hens.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Maybe it just switches back and forth periodically.

Speaker 5 (19:42):
It's weird, right, Yeah. I think like once in an
animal documentary, if the two lions fight and he's the alpha,
the other one just accepts it, right, like he's not
always trying to win it back.

Speaker 3 (19:54):
Maybe if there's if the group is small enough, then
the beta is like, I gotta at this back, I
gotta switch this up.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
Well, what's funny is he tries to get one hen
that's his girl, and he'll go off to the side,
and then black He'll see it and he'll get jealous
and he'll chase them off. So he's always kind of
circling with his one girl that is sort of loyal
to him. But if Blackie and then Blackie's got his girl,
so he's usually not it's not a problem. But if
he sees if it bugs him, will chase him away.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Are they really girl? Is their intimacy do they have
like this is my girlfriend right now?

Speaker 5 (20:27):
They do kind of have a favorite, you know.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Boy, it's gotta get messy when that switches. It's like,
well now he's the alpha and I'm seeing his girlfriend.

Speaker 5 (20:36):
Yeah, that does get messy. And the hens any new
if you introduce like a new adolescent chicken, like say
you so sometimes they eat something and they'll die. They'll
eat a piece of spring or plastic in the yard, whatever,
and you get a new one. But we don't. We'll
get adolescents. We don't get like the babies, and they
get picked on. The new ones. The hens will be

(20:57):
very like peck peck and make sure that they know
that they're no big deal and stay away from my
rooster kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
How is it as far as just having a pet?
Are they like, Hey, I'm happy to see you, let's
hang out. Is there any of that, like you know,
like having a cat or a dog. Are they?

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Actually? They are curious and they do have personalities and
some are more forward. But roosters always attack you, like
if you're in the yard, they'll chase you away. Even
if you raise them as a chick. There's no like
memory of like, oh, he's the guy who took care
of me when I was a baby, right, No gratitude,
no gratitude. And then they're curious and they I think

(21:37):
that I'm the parrot stimulus because I feed them. They
always think it's feeding time when they see me, So
as soon as I get out of the car, they'll
all run and follow me. Yeah, And but the roosters
will sneak up on you and peck you when you
least expect it.

Speaker 4 (21:49):
Like if I just a stranger went into that coop,
they would go straight from my face, right.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
They would run away. If the roosters were in there.
They would go after your legs. They wouldn't. They don't
get up high.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
I stayed at a I was doing a show in
Denver and stayed at someone's house and they had a
giant turkey in the backyard. And it was really intimidating
and very related. Immediately I could tell to a dinosaur
like talents, scaly talents and a way of like moving

(22:23):
their head around that was very Jurassic to me.

Speaker 5 (22:26):
And they're weird looking, huh yeah, and mean, oh really yeah.
I don't think I've been around turkeys.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
It was not a turkey. I would pardon, I would
just let it happen.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
What aren't turkeys known to be kind of stupid.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
I think they're not as maybe not as threatening, only
because they kind of can't get it together, right.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
The violence, this one felt towards me, who wasn't thinking
it through.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
And do you think they're violent because of their insecurity
about their intelligence? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:56):
You know, college, I know everyone thinks that this sort
of applies to humans.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Who are you looking at? What do you what's going
on over there? You got a problem?

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Yeah, And to make up for it, this turkey had
a jacked up black truck.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
So scary.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah, yeah, I think it was a turkey that knew
what was going to be have a bad day on Thanksgiving.
Not to get graphic, but I think.

Speaker 5 (23:23):
It was that you think they sense it.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
This was an actual guy raising turkeys for food, so he.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Got a turkey.

Speaker 4 (23:29):
More than one turkey, there used to be more, And
I didn't want to hear the story about that.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Just Thanksgiving.

Speaker 4 (23:36):
The story of yeah, the story of Thanksgiving and the
buckles on the shoes. It gets pouring now when.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Eggs, when the prices of eggs went through the roof,
did you feel a sense of like accomplishment and like
you had beaten the system?

Speaker 5 (23:50):
Because it's like it's nice to like grow your own food,
especially like it started during the pandemic when nobody knew
what was happening, and like there were people rushing the
store and it's like, I don't know how long this
is going to be weird, And so it is nice
to grow your own food. It is. And I don't
know that we saved a ton of money, But.

Speaker 4 (24:10):
Are we getting pulled over.

Speaker 5 (24:13):
By me? Wait?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Okay, it's there.

Speaker 5 (24:15):
It's keep going. I'll tell you where it is. You
got a wrong.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Address Okay, I wondered, I'm like this blue house.

Speaker 5 (24:22):
Okay, No, it's a business. It's by the stables. Oh yeah,
thats a Questionna, that makes sense. But they may be closed,
but we'll see it.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
People selling chicken feed out of their bedroom window.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
So you guys travel right for comedy.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yes, there are times when that's all I do, and
now it's more periodic.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
But I was just in like Pennsylvania, in upstate New York,
and I feel like houses are businesses more than they
are in La in California, you know what I mean.
Like that house would be like the tax guy and
he would have a shingle, and that one would be
like a shoe repair guy and he would have a
thing right in front of the house. But it's like

(25:09):
totally suburban area.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
Yep, Yeah, I missed that. I used to live in Austin, Texas,
and one there was no building codes. If you want
to make your house four stories tall, it seems like
you could just do it, really yeah, And so many
houses were bars or corner stores real yeah, and little modification,

(25:33):
just like, yep, we have a yellow curb and a sign,
but it just looks like someone's house. And I thought
that was so cool.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
That is cool.

Speaker 3 (25:42):
It is because then you can get a kit kat
whenever you need it, wherever you need it.

Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, yeah, I I it's so weird when you find
out after a couple of blocks you've been in a.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Race, well, we beat you.

Speaker 5 (25:58):
A guy on the bike with it is funny during
rush hour when the same bike keeps passing you, it's like, oh,
you are winning.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Ultimately, you are right in this argument, you are winning
this race. I like the and this is I've seen
it in Wisconsin, but I hear like it's also on
the East coast. But the houses that are bars, so
you're literally walking in and it's someone's living room, but
it's a bar.

Speaker 5 (26:25):
I do too. I like that they have that around,
like lambeau Field, when you go see a Packer game
and you are literally in someone's like there's family pictures up.
It's just like their living room, but it's a bar.
Kind of great, it is. I find that interesting.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yeah, And that everyone in that neighborhood is part owner
of the team, right, isn't that?

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yes, the Packers are owned by like the municipality.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
Yeah, that's how Dell Computers used.

Speaker 5 (26:52):
To be, Is that right? Like the town owned it.

Speaker 4 (26:55):
Well. I remember when I keep bringing up Boston, I'm
leading up to my big talk about the Big Stinking
Improv Festival, and if we ever went to Clapp means
you did. But yeah, it like early on I think
you could. It was a publicly traded much like Test,

(27:18):
I believe. But there are people that never worked for Dell.
They just were an early investor in it or a stockholder.
I know very little about finance. And now there are
just kids Outwharred Dell used to be where the comedy
club Cap City now is, and it's young people in

(27:38):
Lamborghini's and it's like a lot of people got rich
off of Dell in a way that again I don't
understand and feel I shouldn't have brought up. But I
was in an improv group in Montana and we went
the Big Stinking Improv School. There was only there a

(27:59):
couple of years, and I don't recall if you and
the Upright Citizens.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
Brigade they do the Big Stinking Improv.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
I just remember the learning about that all good improvisers
are basically from Chicago or you know, a lot like
there was we did the annoyance that Joe Bill guy
was there and we learned about horse sighting.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Yes, right past the horse Reynolds, you'll pull in to
the parking lot. I like that.

Speaker 4 (28:33):
Instead of a sign, they just have horses in the area.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
This parking lot here care. I don't know if they're open,
like so, I'll just see this. It's the best. But
they might close. I don't know. You guys keep talking.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
No, we have little breaks all the time.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
You do. This could be really quick.

Speaker 4 (28:57):
We have treats for you too. We only ate a
few of them. They're munchkins. They're very similar to a
doughnut hole. Just a single peanut. It comes back with
the peanut.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Could you get me three more peanuts?

Speaker 5 (29:18):
Oh? No, they close it five. Oh they were ship
that's okay.

Speaker 7 (29:26):
Other errand okay, I have to go to lens crafers
You guys about super boring, brilliant offer.

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Can I not.

Speaker 5 (29:39):
Exploit you guys. I mean, that's the guy who would
have loaded my chicken, and I always tip them a dollar.
You guys talk about tipping on one episode. That's why
I was like, whenever somebody loads something, I do give
them cash. Oh of course I've never driven through here.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
I think because it never hit it.

Speaker 5 (29:59):
I always back out.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
I'm not afraid to go down a dirt road if
you need to.

Speaker 5 (30:03):
They where you're from.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
From Petaluma up in northern California, Okay, and we actually
it's pretty pretty small when on writers from there.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
But we did four.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
H growing up, and so, oh wow, we did chickens
because they were like easier. My aunt had a farm.
We did sheep, and she kept the sheep on her farm.
But then we did chickens and my dad just built
a coop and we had like four chickens and of
course named them and got really involved with them, and
then yeah, something killed one night. Yeah, it's they all

(30:40):
died very terribly one night where it was like, oh,
no more of that, like no more getting attached to
farm animals.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah, every critter, including humans, loves to eat Chickensn't you
get chickens? The word is out. Yeah, coyotes, hawks, possums, hobos,
everybody is on the lookout to slaughter those things. They're
so delicious, they really are, and the poor animals, like
it always happens, it always ends in tragedy. Egg chickens

(31:12):
they could survive. Was that the bike different? Different one?

Speaker 4 (31:17):
The other guy has changed outfits and is lying on
his couch waiting.

Speaker 5 (31:22):
Yeah, and should we go to lens crafters? Absolutely, yeah,
all right, let's go laugh.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
I think, what are you getting a new lens?

Speaker 5 (31:35):
Tell me if I'm being an annoying guest, by the way,
by having you do errands? No, no, no, not at all.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
No. It used to be we used to go to
the airport and swear and sweat the whole time because
we thought our guests would miss a flight. Like anything
is less stressful than that.

Speaker 5 (31:50):
Oh my god. I would never do that here. I
never even asked people to pick me up at the airport. Yeah,
it's so stressful.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
No one should ask.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Let's go left here, and I think I can give us. Yeah,
chickens are like the delicious thing that everybody wants to kill. Yeah,
but that's cool. You were in the four h that's
real farm.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
It was pretty farmy.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
I mean we were like the furthest out from it.
My dad used to joke that we were like gentlemen farmers.
But it was actually kind of a fun. I like
that people are getting into it now because it does
make sense. It's like people during COVID, Like I'm going
to learn to make bread, and I'm going to learn
to do all these things, like, right, we should all
know how to do stuff like this, yeah, or like

(32:36):
raise animals or whatever.

Speaker 4 (32:38):
And then also doing it yourself and not being part
of all those industries, which, if you look into them,
are all bad.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Yeah. And it's kind of like greener because you're reusing
like your table scraps to feed the chickens. And then
my friends give me their used egg cartons and then
I give them eggs, you know, And it's kind of
like a little there's less trucking involved in the whole process,
do you know what I mean. Yeah, it's a smaller,
tinier improvement I guess on your footprint.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Yeah. It's funny how any interest in it will lead
towards some level of environmentalism.

Speaker 5 (33:16):
I think so, I think it is a little bit.
I mean, I still I'm disgusted with how much consumerism
rules our lives. But yes, it's so crazy, isn't it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
It's like in the nineties when I was in college
and there would be people who would talk about capitalism
and fuck capitalism, I'd be like, what are you talking?

Speaker 1 (33:36):
That's just how everything works.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
And now the idea that that's kind of becoming the
way the thing people are talking about of like this,
this is crushing all of us.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
It's like, oh, I get it now, this makes sense.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
We don't all need one thousand choices of a plastic thing.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
Yeah, it's not just the thing the kid with the
mohawk writes on his notebook.

Speaker 5 (33:56):
There's actually a lot of it's.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
Real, a lot of meaning.

Speaker 5 (34:01):
The Anarchy kid.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah, yeah, the Anarchy kid.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
It's so funny. It's just a cool logo. I was
writing Anarchy Dead Kennedy's a band. I had not listened
to just intographic design more than anything.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
I studied abroad in Austria my junior year of college,
and when I moved back, I went to college in
northern Illinois. We rented a house with some friends and
there were those anarchy people had written anarchy everywhere and
it's the same slogan as like a Austria sticker on
a car. So I thought people were really into Austria

(34:39):
all that the people who lived there before us were
really into Austria. That's so random, Like I was just
in Austria. It looks just like that sticker that people
in Austria put on the back of their bumper, the Austria,
the A with the circle around it, and I'm like, wow,
I wonder if I knew them?

Speaker 4 (35:00):
So funny.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Isn't that funny? That is hilarious. This must be the
transfer student.

Speaker 3 (35:04):
House also, because Austria is it kind of an obscure
of all the countries that I've ever heard of. People
like going to was it? Did it have to do
with your major?

Speaker 5 (35:15):
Or were you? Like?

Speaker 3 (35:16):
No.

Speaker 5 (35:16):
A girl on my dorm floor freshman year came back
and she was a friend and she's like, you have
to go to Austria for it because our school had
an exchange program. Like why, She's like, because we traveled everywhere.
It's in the middle of Europe and every weekend we
went to Italy and Hungary and Poland and Norway and
we were back for school on Funday's old and so

(35:37):
I'm like, maybe I will. And she planted the seed
and then I junior year, I didn't know what I
was doing. I was kind of lost. I'm like can
I I asked my parents. They said, you can go
for a year, and it was affordable, and they ended
up going for a whole year.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
Wow. Yeah, and what was it like, I mean, can
you give.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
Us a little?

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Was it like Lilly Walka?

Speaker 5 (35:54):
It was very good chocolate, very good beer. It was
American student living basically in the stables for from the
Sound of Music in Salzburg, Austria. It was gorgeous, but
it was the castle stables and our school was the stables.
It was a bunch of kids from Rochester Institute of
Design that were photography students, and then a bunch of

(36:16):
kids from Miami, of Ohio and Northern Illinois. Different schools
had American programs over there, and all the everyone lived
with the Austrian family. Oh. Yeah, it was pretty interesting
and it was wonderful and I had to learn to
speak German.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
And yeah, and you were there a whole year.

Speaker 5 (36:36):
I was there a whole year. In the month between semesters,
my roommate was from there was a bunch of kids
from Tokyo, Japan that were part of the program. Weirdly,
and my roommate was from Tokyo. So the month between
the fall and winter we lived. We basically lived in Turkey.
We knocked around Turkey because it was so cheap and

(36:56):
I'd never been to Turkey, and that was like mind
bogglingly interesting.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
I want to go to Turkey really bad because they
have all those really old mosaics. Did you go to
the Mosaic Museum where it's basically like they're from three
thousand years ago.

Speaker 5 (37:10):
Uh, there's a town called Ephesis that they brought back
all these mosaics. But I don't know if it's the
where the museum is. You can go left here. I
think this might service, but I don't know. But yeah,
it's what's amazing about Turkey is there's so much ancient
history there and it's not like Greece, Like everybody thinks

(37:31):
Greece had everything, but they had tons of stuff happening
in that area too. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, anywhere you go you realize how much older everywhere
is than America.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
Yeah, like Italy. You're in a seven eleven and then
there's a column in the parking lot that's two thousand
BC and it's got a plaque on It's like what. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
Well, yeah, when I was in England, i went through
a graveyard because you know, it's kind of cool that
see that people died in sixteen eighty or whatever. And
I saw a tombstone from the seventeen hundreds and it
was the guy's name, and it wrote he had the quote, help,
there's beetles and worms down here.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
No.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
And to me, that that a guy hundreds of years
ago wanted that joke on his tombstone made me so happy,
Like a joke tombstone and this guy was like, yeah,
he died of old age at forty and wanted it
was just so great to me.

Speaker 5 (38:31):
That's pretty fun.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
I love.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
There was one I think it was another English one.
Oh yeah, there's the Lenscraft there it is, I think
on his tombstone said born a man, died a baker.
Oh that's great funny.

Speaker 4 (38:47):
Oh that's great.

Speaker 5 (38:48):
Yeah, it is kind of fun to like. I don't
know that I would. I mean, I guess I haven't
planned on doing it. Having a comic that's half on
your tombstone.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
Yeah, let's figure him out.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
That would be like ballsy.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
I think that. That's what I'm impressed with the most
people that aren't horrified to die, That's that's that's what
I'm impressed.

Speaker 5 (39:10):
Well, kind of doesn't matter either, obviously you're gone right right.
Your family might be like, oh no, we don't want that.

Speaker 4 (39:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
Yeah, but that's when you say, don't be selfish. This
is my tombstone.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Yeah right, that's what I'll put on my tombstone.

Speaker 5 (39:23):
There it is.

Speaker 4 (39:26):
Shut up, mom, I mean here combing my hair. Stop knocking.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Now. Have you guys ever been to a Lens Crafters?
Does that interest you?

Speaker 4 (39:36):
I mean, I've I'm a Warby Parker guy.

Speaker 5 (39:40):
I normally am too, but I was in a rush
and I lost my glasses when I was out of state,
and I'm like, I just called them and said, can
you just print me up another pair of one?

Speaker 4 (39:49):
That's what I did. I got these exact lenses, went
to the improv. They were two days old. I set
them down somewhere, someone grabbed them assuming, hey, these are
my Warby Parkers in a case and they never were
found again. I've went and bought the exact same ones. Yeah,
here's five hundred dollars again away exactly.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
Which Also, there's it's all it's all marked up. Well
you'll see when you.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
Go in there. You'll see when you go what do
you mean, what do you what am I going to see? Well?

Speaker 3 (40:17):
It just they cost thirty five dollars to make about
your we all pay eight hundred dollars to get glasses
and it's just a scam.

Speaker 5 (40:24):
I know it is a scam. I prepaid. I think
it's gonna I think it came in around five hundred. Everything.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
We're just getting you excited by letting you know it's
a ripoff. But they're needed, they're needed.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
I know, all right, we'll be back with Matt Walsh.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
I've never done that.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
I know that's cool.

Speaker 4 (40:49):
It's just something different, yes, but.

Speaker 5 (40:52):
Also, what's fucking Mott Walsh? Like?

Speaker 1 (40:53):
Do what you want?

Speaker 4 (40:54):
Little breaks?

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Yeah, you're the coolest.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
You have to bring up a time when you guys
were hung out, so we.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Didn't, though I can't. I went out.

Speaker 3 (41:04):
I dated a guy that was kind of like friends
with him, but more of like just worshiped him, and
so I met him once through that guy. But this
was literally the year two thousand, so I was completely
just assuming, especially with the career he's had, right, I
was just like, it's nice to meet you, and I
fucking do that every time where you don't have to

(41:26):
say those words and you can slip out of any
social awkwardness, and I just do it every time.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Yeah, I started saying, because it's usable if you have
met someone or not. I just always say it's good
to see you. Yeah, I don't say again, you know
it's good to see you. No, I did mean for
the first time.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
And you can't prove I didn't.

Speaker 4 (41:48):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (41:50):
I used to actually get my glasses at this Lenscrafter's
because I worked close by and lived to look like
And it was so frustrating because I'd always be like, yeah,
I just don't want these rectangular you know, like it
was like early two thousands and everything was like rectangular,
back rectangular glasses.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
I was like, yeah, could I get a different kind?
And it was just like there was no other options.

Speaker 4 (42:14):
Those are back now they shan't be I. I really
don't like them, and I see them sometimes. Or round ones.
Oh man. My sister got me some readers that were
just wears walldow round.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
And what like.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
I thought you they're quirky.

Speaker 1 (42:33):
I'm like, no, Chris, look at me right now.

Speaker 5 (42:38):
Those are different.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Those look like they flip up, you know what I'm
talking about. These were turtle shell Sally Jesse, Raphael, small
little guys, but those are round and cool. Maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Well, it's just a personality.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
Did you get I'm wearing them.

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Those are are those?

Speaker 5 (43:03):
There are great?

Speaker 4 (43:04):
You can't go wrong with that classic aviator.

Speaker 5 (43:09):
And then they asked me, tell me what I know,
what were you guys talking about. I don't want to
be rude.

Speaker 1 (43:14):
You're gonna have to listen to the episode.

Speaker 5 (43:17):
Talking let him in. Doesn't he look old?

Speaker 4 (43:27):
That's that limp and it's.

Speaker 3 (43:30):
And then you have a totally different experience and you're like,
that was really I love that.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
It felt like on a Saturday with old friends. Did
you want to bring up the other that guy?

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Oh, just just to say, have you ever had problems
with people mistaking you for the right wing pundit Matt Walsh.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
Not in person but on the internets. Yeah, not lately,
but yeah, because he's very He's like a conservative provocateur
who says awful things to get the left all wound up.
And then people come at me. Oh no, I'm like,
I'm not him. I don't.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
I didn't write a book, you know, so people do
come at you.

Speaker 5 (44:14):
Not lately, like I think it's kind of known. But
when he's like spiking or trending after some awful thing
he said, someone out of the woodwork will come out
of nowhere and find maybe follow me for the first
day or something, you know what I mean, And you're
an asshole, And I'm like, or I don't respond.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Right, But did you take money from Russia?

Speaker 5 (44:34):
Though too, I've never taken money from Russia. I didn't
make a movie about what is a woman? I don't
poke the left and say things I don't necessarily believe.

Speaker 4 (44:48):
Yeah, what was almost worth? When I first moved to
Los Angeles, there was a I'm Chris Fairbanks and this
guy's Christopher Fairbanks and he was he had been on
Comedy Control and he had done some stand up, but
he is mostly an actor, and he had been on
that TV show Hunter. But but we didn't look he

(45:09):
was tall. He looked like Martin Mule from Night Court
or you know, that kind of a figure.

Speaker 5 (45:14):
And that's where the good Donut place is right over there.
Oh yeah, that's that's that's a good one.

Speaker 4 (45:22):
That's like one from the Donut Kids documentary.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
But did it? But did it limit you or were
you confused?

Speaker 4 (45:32):
I was like, I don't understand. First of all, I
don't know what IMDb is. I'm not worried about credit.
I don't even know what you're talking. He was concerned
more than I was, and was coming to shows that
I was doing really and like, hey, we gotta take
care of this.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
Uh, take care of it.

Speaker 4 (45:51):
Yeah. He was worried that I was going to go
by Christopher because that was He's like, do you just
go by Chris or Christopher? I said, I'll just go
by Chris, and you go by Christopher and keep being
a foot taller than me, and and yeah and then
and I still talk to him every now and then.
He's actually a nice guy. But what made it weird

(46:12):
was we both had comedy credits.

Speaker 5 (46:16):
Was his sag name the same as yours?

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Yeah, he went by Christopher. I've always kind of wanted
to go by Christopher. I thought it sounded more professional,
but it makes people think of that Columbus prick.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Yeah that's true.

Speaker 4 (46:30):
So I just stayed Chris and he's Christopher, and that
was the end of it.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
I would be scared if someone showed up at a
show to discuss the business they believed that we had. Yeah,
that would be I would be like, I can't, I
can't talk multiple times.

Speaker 4 (46:45):
Yeah, yes really, But then he was really nice about it.
I just I was like, oh he was free again
tonight also, but yeah, it it, I'm not I'm not
talking bad.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
About no, no, no, no, that's clearly probably everyone. He's scrolling
through a name checking all of that episode.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
He finally mentioned me.

Speaker 5 (47:13):
Well, he was being I think he was being an
adult about it. But that would be nervous and intimidated.
If somebody started coming by my shows and going, hey man,
we got to talk about the name thing. Yeah, I'd
be like, uh, whatever you want. Yeah I was.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
I was still in my twenties, and yes, he very
much was an adult, and that's why it was intimidated.
I probably didn't know how to talk back then. I've
only learned in recent years how to communicate with other
adult men.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
You've gotten.

Speaker 5 (47:45):
Wait practice, Are there any Karen Kilgarriffs.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
Yes, my cousin John actually married a woman named Karen,
So there's there's a Karen kill Gariff that I get
to talk to like a couple times a year, who
uh from when my podcast got popular, reports to me
all the shit that happens to her because of that.
So there's like an actual and she lives in Sacramento,
which is where I tried to go to college but

(48:12):
didn't do a very good job at it, so that's
kind of funny.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
Just out of interest, and who else has my name?
There was like a professional bodybuilder that had won some
national competitions and a fireman that did a lot of
heroic things during nine to eleven. Oh and so I.

Speaker 1 (48:30):
Was sorry, two different people.

Speaker 4 (48:32):
These are all Chris Fairbanks's but different guys.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
Bodybuilder is not the fire different guy.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
Yeah, yeah, but it's just Google imaging usually looking for myself.
And then all of a sudden there's a ripped guy
and a patriotic hero, and then and then five more
and then me. But I was I had the meeting
where they're like, so what do you I didn't know
it was a pitch meeting because I was young and

(48:57):
dumb and full of you know, I'm sorry all the time,
so things like yeah, exactly exactly, I should have just
said it anyway, I act I pitched, Oh what about
I don't know, a reality show where I lived with
this other comedian Chris Fairbanks and a fireman named Chris

(49:18):
Fairbanks and a bodybuilder named Chris Fairbanks and we have
to live in a house. And it was during reality
house shows being what everyone wanted and they were like,
we like that. I'm like, oh no, and I I
just didn't pick up the phone for a while. That
problem solved it.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
I solved it.

Speaker 4 (49:41):
I'm like, I don't want to do that.

Speaker 3 (49:42):
You sold a show in the room and you're like, Nope,
this isn't gonna work.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
It got a slight green thumb.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Uh yeah it should. You scared yourself.

Speaker 4 (49:56):
I did. How long were the Upright Citizens Brigade a
group before it was a TV show or did it
happen around the same time.

Speaker 5 (50:07):
We were a group in the early nineties in Chicago
and we got a TV show in ninety eight.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Okay, it was a great TV show.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
It was great.

Speaker 5 (50:15):
I really loved watching it.

Speaker 4 (50:16):
Was it on MTV or Comedy Central?

Speaker 5 (50:18):
Comedy Central?

Speaker 4 (50:19):
I'm sorry I brought up MTV. There's that goddamn group
the state.

Speaker 5 (50:25):
We were kids. Yeah you guys, Oh yeah, Well they
had a show when we landed in New York, and
I think it was just ending when we got to
New York.

Speaker 4 (50:33):
How mad do you want to But I'm.

Speaker 5 (50:35):
Friends with like David Wayne and all those guys. Tom
Lennon like it doesn't Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
I noticed you didn't say Michael Lean Black.

Speaker 5 (50:42):
Mich Lean Black. I've done shows with Michael and Black. Yeah,
he's funny.

Speaker 4 (50:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (50:48):
I visited his house in Savannah, Georgia.

Speaker 4 (50:50):
Oh no, I know, hole, I dug a hole.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
No I know. Yeah, yeah, we get along swimmingly.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (50:57):
Really like the nineties competition though, was its own era.
And then also I think it made people like try
really hard.

Speaker 5 (51:06):
It's like you.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
Guys wanted to, you know, as good, if not beat
the state, that's always good.

Speaker 5 (51:13):
Were you part of mister show? I was part of
mister performing, just performing, just performing? Yeah really yeah, that
was like a standard that was I would see shows
when you guys were taping I think before we had
a show.

Speaker 1 (51:25):
Oh really.

Speaker 5 (51:25):
I would come to LA for whatever pilot season, and
I knew people like you know, Jerry Minor that were
circling Yeah, yeah, Hoffman and so I knew them from Chicago,
and so I would go see tape things and I
loosely got to know Bob. Do you leave it a
little bit?

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Maybe such a cool like happenstance for me where like
obviously didn't know those guys, moved to LA and just
we all started doing shows at the same place, and
so it was kind of like a little group formed
just purely around more of the people, like people that
everybody liked to drink together. And then it was like,

(52:01):
but we also are doing the show, and then we
all think the other people are funny. It was like,
what a great, I don't know, what a lucky thing
to be able to kind of fall into that those relationships.

Speaker 5 (52:13):
Yeah, yes, I agree, and I think that's the easier
part of being a sketch performer versus a stand up
Oh yeah, there's that community and a bit of camaraderie
and you do things together, you collaborate together, but you
also drink too much together.

Speaker 3 (52:30):
Right, Yeah, I did love the drinking part.

Speaker 5 (52:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
I moved to Austin fully intending on doing improv and
then just started doing stand up. And it was so
hard to do both that I just because I wasn't
presented with a group that like, oh, these are all
my friends and I could see myself hanging out with them.

(52:55):
If you don't have that going into it, maybe it's
harder to think about. Yeah, but scan ups just by
yourself and I could be lazy and not show up.
It's only me that I'm disappointed.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
Stand up's harder, though, I think it's a much harder
art form.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
Well it's but I took a I don't know, I
took an improv class, probably like around two thousand and
two or something. I was so scared. It was from
Chris Barnes.

Speaker 5 (53:28):
I know who he is. Yeah, he's a Chicago guy.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
Loved him, Yes, such a good teacher. And I went
with my friend who was actually signed up for the class,
and she made me go and I was like, final,
I'll just go and then we're going out after it.
And I was like final'll just sit in the back
and I'll say I'm auditing. And of course Chris Barnes
was like, no, no, no, get up here. You're doing
it with us, and I was like oh. And it
was that kind of thing where it's like I'm such

(53:51):
a control freak and I don't the way I'm used
to being funny is like all my idea and I
don't no one else is involved. And that idea of
like no, no, you have to first of all not
be funny and just figure out a reality and then
be there and then figure something out together.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
Everything about that was so scary to me.

Speaker 5 (54:10):
Yeah, it was crazy. Yeah that is scary, but you're
not having to deliver a laugh. Yeah, and the beauty
of so yeah, that is scary. I understand that. But
I feel like stand up because I did stand up
in Chicago for probably a year and a half in
like say early nineties, late eighties, and it was like
kind of like anyone who had fifteen minutes was like

(54:32):
going up to Milwaukee and doing a half hour, you
know what I mean. It was the boom and so
they were just grabbing you and making you perform more
than you had material for. Yeah, and that was a
roller coaster of up and down, just like good nights,
bad nights. But you're like alone in a hotel in Milwaukee,
and like the whole audience hated you, and then you're like,
am I worthy of hate? Maybe they are right, Maybe

(54:54):
this self loathing that I'm feeling is justified.

Speaker 4 (54:57):
Yeah, it's still the hardest part is the hotel room
by yourself afterwards.

Speaker 5 (55:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
Yeah, that's why you gotta love law and order because
law and order will be there and if you if
you meet law and order halfway, you'll be fine.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
It'll like help you forget.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Yeah, really it did for me.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
That soothing ping pong and you.

Speaker 5 (55:16):
Were able to you were able to say I am
funny those people.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
God damn it.

Speaker 5 (55:23):
That's great because I don't think I found that that
show or that I don't know that practice. Yeah, I
didn't have that practice. It was like hard to shake,
but it was really cool.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
Like the lesson I learned an improv, which is kind
of like, how about you relax and let something fun
happen as opposed to actually believing that you're going to
control this into hilarity.

Speaker 5 (55:48):
Like that was it.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
It was a great experience and kind of like after
a while, I was like, oh, this makes so much
more sense, and the skill set is such a larger
skill set than just listen to me.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
Right, there's all the things I made up.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
I would I would panic and go for a laugh,
and I could hear the rest of the group kind
of disappointingly sigh because I and I'm like, oh, I'm
maybe bad at this, and all I want is to
get laughs and it's at the expense of what everyone
else was trying to build in that moment, and I'm like, well,

(56:22):
maybe I'm not good at this.

Speaker 5 (56:24):
Yeah. I think my early improve mistakes were like, oh,
I know how to be funny. You just talk all
the time. Yeah, and I shudder to think how terrible
I must have been in my earliest, earliest shows. Yeah,
me trying to feel silence.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
It's like, no, totally, if I stop talking, I'll hear
that they're not laughing. If I just rattle through it, yeah,
I still do that. But it's so even. It seems
like with stand up. The first guys I opened for,
like Bob Zaney, wasn't he let's here's Chicago guy. Oh, uncle,

(57:01):
Larry Reap, Like there was all these.

Speaker 5 (57:03):
Guys that they were around when I was doing it.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
Yeah, I would travel and surprise, You're in a condo
with this guy that's been doing it for twenty five
years already, and they seem to not enjoy it. And
I'm just getting excited about it. But it seems like
everyonemost everyone I opened for John Bizarre, everyone was from Chicago,

(57:32):
all of the stand ups. You are from such a
because you grew up near Chicago, right, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (57:37):
I I was born in the South Side and lived
in Chicago, so I was like eleven or twelve, and
then we moved to the suburbs. So yeah, I spent
like most of my life in the Chicago area.

Speaker 4 (57:49):
Yeah, that's so cool and and yeah I got lucky
growing up in Montana. Of course, it's not even an option.
It's I had to like act a fly fall into it.

Speaker 5 (58:01):
But did you go to first La or first to Austin? I?

Speaker 4 (58:05):
Uh, first to Austin. Yeah, and and stayed there a
few years. And I just followed a girlfriend that had
like her life planned and was like, I'm going to
teach at U T and then and I was like
can I come? And then she was like you should
do stand up? Like thank god she was there to

(58:28):
make me start doing it because I probably would have
just drank and skateboarded. Yeah, so it's but yeah, all
the we studied Chicago. The fact that you studied with
that del like you knew Dell close when he's alive
and worked with him, right.

Speaker 5 (58:46):
I did. I took classes with That's great.

Speaker 4 (58:52):
Clothes so great because we've read the book. I remember
my first start. We like got that truth and Comedy
book and like, okay, we have to read this and
learn and went to Austin for the big stinking and
I guess maybe we meant the naked babies guys. Yes,
and that's they went there. Yeah, yeah, and we were like, well,

(59:13):
let's we were somehow in like a long form thing
with that. All we had ever done was short games
like freeze tag and stuff. I didn't even know about
this world of long form and haralds and sketches. And
I saw how good they were, and I was like, eh,
I think that's what talked me into doing.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
I don't want to have that.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
Yeah, yeah, Rob Cordrey and all those guys.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
Well it's funny, I know, Rob and Husky and Seth and.

Speaker 4 (59:45):
Yeah, they're still the sweetest guys.

Speaker 5 (59:47):
Yeah. I think cord told me when they did that
festival for the first time, they were so new they
thought like, wow, how do we handle it when all
these managers and agents come to us after our show
at the big change, Like they thought it was all
going to change, because that I think was one of
their first breaks. So funny, but we all have that like, wow,

(01:00:08):
it's gonna all change after like you know, my show's
on Comedy Central for four episode.

Speaker 4 (01:00:14):
Yeah, I thought that too, and I thought that they
had been doing it forever. Yeah, they were so good
at it and I learned a lot from them, And
then when I moved here, they were working at your
the the UCB at Franklin, like or at least Seth
was there.

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
Yeah, it was an artistic director there. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:00:37):
Yeah. How much were you a part of opening those
those theaters?

Speaker 5 (01:00:44):
Well, the one in La, I mean I opened them all.
The one in La didn't open until like me and
Ian got out here, but I think Best was here
for a couple of years sure, and then the Franklin
space opened when like Ian and I were out here,
So it was kind of like, once we were all
in one city, we were like, we should probably open
one here. So yeah, idea.

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
Yeah yeah, I mean just because there was enough stand
up going on at least once or twice a week
that I felt like that was kind of my oddly
my home stand up club, and I wasn't doing any
of the the learning that the school taught.

Speaker 5 (01:01:24):
It was just like the comedy Bang Bang and stuff
you were. Yeah. Yeah that was at Death Ray Comedy
death Rays. Yeah, yeah, that was a big show.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:01:33):
Yeah, it was which used to be an m bar right.

Speaker 4 (01:01:37):
Yes, that's where the other Christopher Fairbanks first approached me.

Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
Oh, is there a plaque like where you guys had
your sit down and brokeer the piece. I have.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
Just perfectly symmetrical handshake and had that bronze Yeah, yeah
that was Are you serious?

Speaker 5 (01:01:58):
This is a sticky one. Yeah, this is not a
could we do this?

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
It's funny that we just were talking about how terrifying is.

Speaker 5 (01:02:08):
Hang to you? Yeah? Do that? Yeah you did it.
Tricky one. It's not a great one.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
I knew. I thought they stayed back a little far
on that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:17):
Yeah, it's hard to guess what people are up to
on that.

Speaker 3 (01:02:20):
So living so close to that, do you experience that
or do you kind of have it down here?

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
I kind of know how to play it. Yeah, but
I wasn't thinking I was having a conversation. I should
have been a better no, no, no assistant. Look at this
little theater. Isn't that cool? I didn't know that was there.
The brick house, brick house theater shot out to the
brick house guys. Yeah theater are still alive.

Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
Still, Yeah, we're brand new with the vintage looking sign.

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
Yeah. I was going to ask you guys. When I
got my glasses, they asked me for the warranty. Do
you guys ever get warranties when you buy like a
stereo or a TV? Or a pair of glasses that.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
The word warranty just means my dad, Like it's something
my dad would do, and of course I should, but no, no, I.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
Never do ever. Because I asked her, I'm like, well,
so does it cover him if I lose them? And
she's like, no, just if something like is broken, but
only up.

Speaker 1 (01:03:15):
To a certain point.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Probably Yeah, and it's two hundred and fifty bucks or something.

Speaker 5 (01:03:20):
I didn't ask. I didn't go down that road.

Speaker 4 (01:03:22):
One thing we all three of us should do when
we purchase our next pocket computer iPhone, it's for eleven
bucks a month. You get the lost or stolen insurance.

Speaker 5 (01:03:35):
I think we have that on our plan, our family plan.
I think that is worth it. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:40):
I can't imagine getting a new phone, losing it and
then continuing to pay for it. That's what would I mean?

Speaker 6 (01:03:47):
That's yeah, yeah, that would be a nasty Luckily, because
an iPhone is like if you had no discount and
you wanted to get the what are they on sixteen?

Speaker 4 (01:03:58):
Yeah? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:03:59):
Is that like twelve hundred dollars? I don't even know,
like without a trading value, right.

Speaker 4 (01:04:04):
Because I wanted to keep my old one as my Hey,
let me try and become a TikTok comedian filming phone, and.

Speaker 5 (01:04:14):
This will motivate me.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
I'm not going to have the twelve hundred dollars one
on a tripod in the back of a dark room,
you know what I mean. Let me the one that
has an amazing camera. I'll keep that in my pants.
And the old one, oh, I'll just get a new one. Yeah.
It's we should all get warranties, is the point.

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
Yeah, my new filmmaker identity requires me to get the
most expensive and get me a tripod.

Speaker 3 (01:04:43):
My thing is that for warranties, do I know where
that paperwork is when the thing happens, because I can't
keep track of anything. Yeah, And oftentimes it feels like
anytime you're like, oh wait, maybe the warranty could help
me out here, it's like that expired three weeks ago. Yeah, yes,
so there's a there is a timing issue. It's like

(01:05:04):
you're paying, but but you're only being covered for a
little bit.

Speaker 5 (01:05:09):
It feels like, yeah, and if it's a good like
if it's Sony or like a ken More dishwasher, they
have a good warranty from the company, hopefully right they have.
That's the hope is that. Yeah, you're you're still covered
for most of it.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
Yeah, it's on their computer somewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Should I go around? Should I?

Speaker 5 (01:05:28):
You can go around and we'll figure out. Like I
think I'm getting kicked out. I think the show's dropping
in ratings. You're sensing are people logging off? We're looking off.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
It's so weird.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
If we asked to know, and then it's like, yeah, unfortunately,
this is not testing.

Speaker 4 (01:05:45):
Well, no, it's not that we just got word you
got the wrong prescription.

Speaker 5 (01:05:52):
Oh I do have to pick up a prescription.

Speaker 4 (01:05:54):
We got quot it's no need for four zones of
vision and one lens. We gotta go back. I know
that you have I believe twenty brothers and sisters six.
But I one night did a show in at an
Italian restaurant. I don't know any more than that. But

(01:06:18):
I was hanging out with this group of guys and
we got very drunk, and I had so much fun
and we were riffing and at the end one of
them was your brother, probably my brother Pat It maybe
was he lives in the valley.

Speaker 5 (01:06:33):
He lives in La Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe it was Fatello. Yeah,
that was one of his old hangs.

Speaker 4 (01:06:39):
That's so fun because I was, I had a great
time with your brother one night, and I knew i'd
probably never see him again. Yeah, and uh and at
the last minute he mentioned you're his brother, and I'm like,
that guy's the best.

Speaker 5 (01:06:53):
Yeah, he is funny, he is a good guy. Yeah,
he's like the only family I have here in Labody
else is in.

Speaker 4 (01:07:02):
I thought maybe you would know who I was talking about,
because all your siblings probably didn't move to Los Angeles.
But no, how many brothers and sisters.

Speaker 5 (01:07:11):
Get three sisters and three brothers.

Speaker 4 (01:07:14):
Wow, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
That's a nice Irish family.

Speaker 5 (01:07:17):
It's a nice Irish Catholic family, servative Irish Catholic family.
It is very much so. Yeah, it's not as big
as they get.

Speaker 9 (01:07:25):
Yeah, any bigger and boy, although when I was I
was in Pennsylvania and there was a guy and his
wife and they had ten foster children.

Speaker 5 (01:07:39):
I visited their farm. They're kind of an Amish country
and they're like a nice Christian couple and doing this
lovely thing of like taking problematic children into their home
and adopting them slowly. And I'm like, that's a crazy
big family, especially you can pull into the driveway if
you want, just nudge in for safety, per Yeah, I

(01:08:00):
just put your nose right up to the gate, push
it a little well, just so like you don't feel
like you're gonna get hit or honked at.

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

Speaker 5 (01:08:08):
Yeah, but that's a big family, ten foster children of
all different backgrounds.

Speaker 4 (01:08:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah that is. Yeah, maybe one day I'll
do that.

Speaker 5 (01:08:21):
You're don't advise it'd be a great father.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
To someone clearly in need.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Ten immediately.

Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
Now, do you have anything to plug or should we
be watching anything or thinking about anything that you are
working on.

Speaker 5 (01:08:36):
I'm really liking Murders in the Building. Oh yeah, I'm
not on it. That's the show. I'm really into that.
I wait for every week. Okay, there's a movie I
did with Nick Jonas called The Good Half, which I
think drops on Hulu next month. Cool Elizabeth sho and
Britney Snow really good cast, really nice movie. And then

(01:09:00):
Jonas is good.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
He was in the M M A. The Kingdom.

Speaker 5 (01:09:05):
He's a good I mean he was great obviously, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:09:08):
Because yeah I was. That's amazing. Yeah, that'll be great.
I will watch it.

Speaker 5 (01:09:14):
Yeah, And I do a podcast like you guys where
we watch except ours rewatch episodes of Deep Oh that's great.
Second in Command.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
I didn't know that existed.

Speaker 4 (01:09:25):
Yeah, well a lot of people don't know exists.

Speaker 1 (01:09:27):
Well we have to tell them.

Speaker 4 (01:09:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:09:29):
I love Second in Command and it's me and Tim
Simons and we have a lot sorts of people from
the show.

Speaker 1 (01:09:37):
That's so cool.

Speaker 5 (01:09:39):
Yeah, it's a good excuse to talk to people from
the show and then have random guests on as well.

Speaker 1 (01:09:45):
Us must have like a rabbit fan base. I mean
that show was big for a while.

Speaker 5 (01:09:51):
Yeah, people are hardcore fans of that show, and people
strangely still watch it and they watch it to go
to sleep too, which is weird. They find it come
being to watch that of all shows, which I find surprising.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
Yeah, there's something about I find that comforting too. Sometimes,
Like come home from a long, stressful day at work
and you're like, now I want to watch someone else
be stressed out at work.

Speaker 1 (01:10:13):
That makes me feel better.

Speaker 5 (01:10:14):
Really, Yeah, maybe that's what it is. Like. So what
do you, if I may ask, what do you watch
to wind down at the end of the night. Is
there like a law and order like you mentioned when
you're in stand up World?

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
I can't I can't look at Law and Order anymore
because of all that. Okay, trauma and dammit it. Okay, no,
right now, I'm My show is King of the Hill,
and I'm actually in the Yeah, I've just been plowing
through because there's thirteen seasons.

Speaker 5 (01:10:38):
It's so good.

Speaker 3 (01:10:39):
It's written so perfectly, and it's about things and it's
like moving and I had no idea. I always was like, oh,
this is just a bunch of like texting guide jokes.

Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
Before it was syndicated anywhere in Austin, it just played
around the clock. There's like a King of the Hill channel,
So really, I'm like, oh, apparently I didn't realize other
states were also watching it, because it seems.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
Because it's also on Hulu and it's like watch it there.
It's almost like the conservative, the reasonable conservative man is
represented and they don't ever get it wrong. So it's
like what the late nineties, early two thousands, but there's
never anything that you go, oh, I wish they didn't
say that, or any of those kind of like no
one else is a victim to any of that comedy,

(01:11:26):
and it is the way they do it is like
seems miraculous.

Speaker 4 (01:11:29):
To me because Mike Judge is a genius.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
He's so good.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
And Toby Huss does every fucking voice on this Really
it is like anyone who isn't Hank Hill or.

Speaker 5 (01:11:39):
Bobby Hill Toby.

Speaker 3 (01:11:41):
It's wild because I love Toby and he's the best.
But like I was like, hold it, wait, that teacher
was Toby, Wait that mechanic was Toby, And you.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
Just realize he's doing all of these voices.

Speaker 4 (01:11:53):
I can't see him and not think Frank Sinatra from
the year four TV like that, that's who doesn't.

Speaker 5 (01:12:00):
Right, Frank Sinatra. That's kind of my dream though, too,
is to do an animation voice. Have you ever done
I've never been a character, like a regular part of
an animation show. No, I've done like a drop in
here and there. Have you ever done that?

Speaker 1 (01:12:13):
I got to do it on there was a show
called Craig of the Creek and they.

Speaker 5 (01:12:16):
Have my kids know that it's a yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:12:18):
It was like a cartoon network show and me and Georgia,
who I do the other podcast with, were like two
high school goth girls.

Speaker 4 (01:12:27):
I didn't know about that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:28):
That's awesome And it was like the first time we
did it, having to hear myself and be like, oh, this,
I don't know how to do it. It's like they
just asked us to do it for like fun times
or whatever. But I was like everybody else on that
show voice acting is such a skill obviously, and I
was like, oh, I wish I had had this skill
now that I'm doing it, because it's it has this

(01:12:50):
like there's a whole kind of fullness to it and
of way you have to act that is only this
that Like, as I was doing it, I was like, man,
I'm starting to get what skill this takes.

Speaker 5 (01:13:03):
Did they ask you back or it was only for
one thing?

Speaker 1 (01:13:05):
No, we did it for a couple of years.

Speaker 5 (01:13:07):
Well then you must have been great. Would have been
too bad.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
But I'm just saying it made me really appreciate what
like the cast members on that show, which were like
they were young people in their in their twenties playing
like grammar school students, were fucking amazing. Like every time
we were there, when they were there, I was like,
this is incredible.

Speaker 1 (01:13:27):
So I don't know, it's a it's a cool thing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:30):
And also it's like I don't know, anytime I see
any of those people or it's like Bob's Burgers all
those people. We were like, yeah, you just get what's
fun sounding, and like you just made a character that
I believe is real.

Speaker 1 (01:13:42):
It's so cool.

Speaker 4 (01:13:44):
I can't believe you did that for two years and
I no, I no knowledge of it.

Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
The goth girl what's the character's name? We were I
have no idea, girled the goth girls on Craig of
the Creek.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
Craig of the Creek that pretended to be witches. We
tried to scare the little kids by acting like you
were witches.

Speaker 4 (01:14:02):
I feel like you could make a couple of phone calls, Matt,
and you could be a voice on whatever cartoon you want,
if only.

Speaker 5 (01:14:12):
It is for you. I love how you think I'm
a bigger fish than I am.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
No, you're a huge fish.

Speaker 1 (01:14:18):
Really really quick. Let's just pitch out a couple of ideas.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
So there's a Chicken Man, which is just the story
of a regular guy in the valley trying to raise chickens,
like getting through week to week and raise chicken.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
All green thumb.

Speaker 4 (01:14:30):
That at least, let's thank you for. If there's one thing,
I don't care if I get a voiceover job. I
just want to green thumb, thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:14:38):
I want to I want to be whatever voice I can. Yeah,
I mean, let's animate this, guys.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
Guys, you know I'm into it. I just want to
show up somewhere every day. I'll play on a lease
because she's a regular cast member. Rude, but I want
to be I don't want to just be like a
one time. I've never on a regular on a lease.
That's all I'm saying. Yeah, Okay, I can't believe we've

(01:15:06):
pitched Green, Thumbed, Green Last, and Red some you need
a ride.

Speaker 5 (01:15:12):
Let me know how I can help with like the
character look okay or whatever. I don't need to sign
off you should.

Speaker 3 (01:15:19):
Is it too ham handed that you would also look
like a little bit like a chicken if you were.

Speaker 5 (01:15:25):
I think it's great, Okay. I'm all about yes, and
to get this animation so we can make it in
North Korea too. Honestly, I don't have ethical issues about
where we get this animated. And some of the money
comes out of Libya, I mean I don't know. I
don't want to know where the money is coming from.
You guys, are you guys see them up front? So

(01:15:47):
I don't want to ask any too many questions. You
are the other.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
I knew it. I knew we'd get that out of
you at some point.

Speaker 5 (01:15:56):
No, I would have I would have spoken more awful things.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Sorry, kids, if you didn't want to draw on an
assembly line, why'd you get good at drawing?

Speaker 1 (01:16:06):
Sorry, not our fault, Matt.
