After eleven years? Hi, my name is who?

Speaker 5 (01:42):
There is a comic in Austin who had the best
joke and I do have a memorized but out of
respectrum I will not recite it.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
But it's his grandpa.

Oh, yes, of course, of course I will. Matt Sadler.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Good job, Matt, that's a great bit.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yes. He was one of the people that told me, hey,
you should move to Austin and start doing stand up
And that's the guy.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
When I moved there, I'm like, well, I don't know
anyone here. I might as well call him up and
then meet him at his workplace and ask him how
I become a comedian.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
And he's I've said this before. He's the guy that said,
write jokes, start with your second funniest one, and with
your funniest one.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's not your sister, no.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Spam.

Speaker 5 (02:50):
They're after us. All the satellites are pointing to every
word we say.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
But also when these ones come up and you can't
just hit red, it just doesn't let you.

Speaker 5 (02:59):
Yes, since when it's seven four to seven Los Angeles,
let me go.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Ahead, and let me go ahead and block plane mode that.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
Uh anyway, I just ate a lot of EM and
ms before we started.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
I think that's what we were talking about.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I think it's what we need to be doing. Look
behind us at this car. Can you see the car
behind us?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I can't not in that mirror, not yet?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (03:28):
No?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
The headlights look like green animal eyes.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
I don't like that.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's funny.

Speaker 5 (03:33):
I went to replace my headlights and I wouldn't go
halogen because I know that when they blink, they flicker
and it looks like a siren and they have a
they they're just too bright. I went traditional out of
respect for others good and that the expense of my
own health because they aren't bright enough.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Oh, I noticed I should have gone for the for
the me first version.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Don't put others first when it comes to lighting a
dark roadway.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
I mean, that's great advice.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
That's I've said before.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's one to grow on.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
It's one to put on your tombstone. Thank you for
the M and ms.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
By the way, Oh, you're welcome. I just found them
at my feet. They were at my feet.

Speaker 5 (04:21):
The packaging was worn as though they'd been there sometime.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
I mean, we have at the office a lot of
very nice small candy. Young Karen would have been so excited.
Or is she's still alive?

Speaker 2 (04:37):
I guess.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Young Us is dead. Let's be honest.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Young Us is long dead, but I miss her anyway.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
I sometimes like to just leave and put things in
my pocket, like in case I never get anything again.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah. Yes, that's how I was raised too. If there's food,
you hoard.

Speaker 5 (04:56):
It getting around, or you shove it in your face
because you don't know the next meal might be hours
from Then God forbid, what is this?

Speaker 2 (05:06):
What does it want me to do here?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (05:08):

like a strange But this is the bad part. Okay,
something happened.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
So if I do that, there's.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Something as a miss on Glendale Boulevard.

Speaker 2 (05:48):

Speaker 5 (05:49):
Yes, uh I want to know how it went.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
It went really good. It was very fun.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
We were there for the iHeart Radio Awards because we
are partners with iHeartRadio now they're our distributor, which means
they sell ads on all our shows, and they helped
promote us and all those things that.

Speaker 2 (06:12):

wined and dined and treated special. And then on Monday,
I believe it was Monday, we actually went to the
iHeart Radio Awards.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
And here's a fun thing that happened.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Georgia and I won Best Ensemble Really Podcasting. Yes, we
won the first award of the night. Joe Manngiello announced
the award. We had no idea that we were going
to win, nor did we think at all that we
were going to win, so we didn't write speeches.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
We were not prepared. We thought they would tell us
if we were going to win, and they didn't.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
So did your years of improv training kick in like
a sweat of course.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, but also it was that kind of thing where
we were just like what do we do? Like you
know what I mean, just like what do we say?

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Were we were truly shocked and then we were I
just said a bunch of stuff. Georgia was like, you
have to talk, So I just said a bunch of
stuff filled the air. We ran off and then we
started laughing and we were like we literally did not
think one person.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Oh really yeah, that.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Didn't think any anybody.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
But did you get laughs? Yeah, of course of course
you did.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Of course. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
I don't even believe.

all that matters. How was your weekend?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
What did you do?

Speaker 1 (08:36):
I what did I do?

Speaker 5 (08:38):
I did a lot of uh, just enjoying the rain,
getting ready, taking care of my body, last minute before
my first doctor's appointment in a long time. I have
the best new doctor. I'm sorry this morning. She's so
very smart and on top of it. And it's been

(08:58):
a while since I've had someone like that in charge
of my future. Yeah, and it's funny that that's something
I get excited about now.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I'm very excited about my doctor.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Great.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yep. Pretty boring. Ye, pretty boring. I mean I got
in a Oh I got stung by a bee on
a rainy day.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Yeah, that's insanity.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
And I should have flicked it. I was gonna flick
it with forest.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Get off of me, bee, I said, And then I
lightly brushed it and it just latched onto my finger
and went right under my fingernails. I am the only
person I think it's my type of blood or that's
what Mosquito's like.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
They love a blood that is highly donatable.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Is that true?

Speaker 5 (09:47):
That is That's the reason I've been given for why mosquitos.
I've been on rafting trips with friends where everyone's like, look,
I got three or four and then we look at
my back and it is is just a constellation of
all things.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Mosquito just covered. I get covered.

Speaker 5 (10:09):
And I think bees that are that way with me too, huh,
because I've been stung in the rain before.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
You've been stung before.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Yeah, And this was one of those bees that you're
rooting for, Like it was a little classic bee, the
kind that I hope is making a comeback. But he
was really tired on my sleeve and I was like,
get off, brush, and it's like, oh, this is.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
What you get.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
No, you get off?

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, and really got me. But it did just because
I saw it happen. It's like staring at a at
a vaccine going in you. Yeah, which I think most
of our listeners I have experienced.

Speaker 5 (10:51):
I one would hope, but yeah. It reminds me of
the time I in Astoria. He went there my dad's
old radio partner who I'll never forget. I was a kid,
I was like ten or eleven, and he came down
the hill wearing short shorts, playing the bagpipes, just smiling

(11:12):
and laughing, and I'm like, oh, this guy is hilarious.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
A drug addict.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
Oh he was, No, No, he was amazing. He was
so smart and maybe a drinker, sure, but yeah. He
had his remote. He wired and built his own universal
remote back in the eighties. Like he took apart these remotes,
rewired them. But it was a giant contraption, like an inventor.

(11:39):
Dad from an eighties movie had made his own universal remote.
And their entire house was stacked. Books everywhere, just books everywhere,
all had been read by him and his wife.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
And then at night, no fake, but like, I have
so many books in my house I've never even cracked.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
I know me too.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
It's so embarrassing if someone came in my house and
be like, oh, how was that one?

Speaker 5 (12:00):
I haven't read it? How's that one? I haven't even
I didn't even know I had it. How was that one?

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Score? I read it in sixth grade, The Outsiders, great great.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Book, Such a good book I've placed.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
In the movie.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh the book is good.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
No, I read the book.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
It's a great book, but they my sister and I
slept and there was just ghosts literally picking stuff up,
moving them, like bumping into each other, doing full on
labor work.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Sorry, what are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
This house in Astoria?

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Maybe one step back?

Speaker 1 (12:36):
I went to ask story and my dad's old radio
partner bagpipes his house universal remote in their backyard.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Got you.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yeah, and it was It was very It was just
an old house with a lot of presents occurring, Okay,
And I had never experienced anything like that before. I
was terrified.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
I didn't even I had never my parents never talked
about such a thing, ghosts as the afterlife. Yes, oh okay,
I was raised by you, Dian.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's over people. Yeah, it was terrifying.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
But the next day I've swung on a rope swing
into a beehive and it was pouring rain and I
got stung by so many bees.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
This story has it all, it really does. But I
was told always that I was allergic to them. I
was fine.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
How old were you when you swung into the beehive?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I think eleven, Chris.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
I was twelve when we threw the pole into the beehive,
and I was attacked by a swarm of bees, which
I know I've told that story with multiple times on
this show.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I don't know if you did.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
That means my memory of both my stories and yours
just dissipates.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
I just think that's interesting. I'll do the top line one.
Sorry audience. Me and my next Renagh Brandy. In the backyard,
we come across I believe it's a horn. No, no,
it's a wasps nest because it's underground. Yeah, we see
the wasps coming out of a hole. We decide we
should put a bucket over that hole to keep the
wasps from coming out of the hole.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
We do that.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
The bucket it's a white PVC buget bucket that very
quickly turns black because all the bees are trying to
come out and they're pissed, but they're also coming out
of a different hole. So then we're like, this was
a very bad idea and we need to do something
about it.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
And so right then you realize you were holding a javelin.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
We no joke.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
There was a piece of pipe, a very small, very
long metal pipe, uh, that we went and picked up
that was also laying in this backyard, very very country style,
and we picked it up and basically together, We're like one,
two three, knock this PVC bucket off of this beehive,

(14:53):
and we won two three eat it and knocked the
bucket off and simultaneously drove the pole into.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
The wasp's nest.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Oh no, and then a cloud of wasps rose up
directly out of that nest, paused, and then flew directly
at us.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
That's cartoon stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
It was the scariest and most surreal.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
And then we were just screaming and running and covered
in bees, and we went to each other's houses.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
I run up to the back door of my house.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
It was locked for the first time literally ever, because
we lived five miles out of town and no one
locked any doors at our house. But for some reason,
the back door was locked. So I just had to
stand there in a swarm of bees, screaming and knocking
on the back door.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
My mother comes to the back door.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Going, oh my god, stop yelling, and then opens the
door and I run in with like twenty bees on me,
and she slams the door.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
She immediately gets stung in the forehead.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
And because she.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Was walking with a remember those curling irons that they
started selling that didn't have cords that they were like
electric curling irons you'd get to walk around with.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:00):
She walked up curling her bangs and then got stung
in the forehead. And then they put a poultice of
baking soda and whatever else too and covered my body
was covered in bee stacks.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
They polticed me up, put me on the couch and
went out to dinner without you.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, just left me home. They were down
the streets.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
She's like, I got to show this brand new sting
on my forehead.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Let's go to ol of go.

Speaker 3 (16:28):
I've got a great story for the people down at
Olive Garden.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
Oh my god, how did she get the bees off
of you? They were on you when you entered.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
They were on me, and it was like she was
slapping them off. They were bees in the house for
a little while. They had to go around and swat them.
It was wild. It was like it was totally insane.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
That is insane.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
Yes, I'm yeah that that could have been your We
all saw my girl.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
I know, Ryan, I've been terrified of bees killing me.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
I also was wearing overall just to paint the picture
of her.

Speaker 5 (17:01):
Of course, you should be, of course, with a slingshot
in your back pocket.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Let's put on overalls in play in a field. What
could go wrong?

Speaker 4 (17:10):
What?

Speaker 3 (17:10):
Nothing could go wrong out in the country surrounded by wildlife.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
No, things only go wrong when you're showing your mid drip, ladies.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's right, learn your lesson, ladies.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Oh man, that's that's I'm I'm glad I'm not the
only one.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
What type of blood are you?

Speaker 2 (17:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:30):
I bet your Oh this sounds like a type oh
story to me.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
Actually that's interesting. I should I know that I saw it.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
It's something kind of not that interesting, like an AB
positive type of thing, where it's just like pretty standard.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Well, I think AB. I just I know. Oh, but
I think AB because I was.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Very interested in why mosquitoes And I know that's a
different world than beastings.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Bees skin you out.

Speaker 5 (17:59):
Of rage, rage or trying to be funny.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Mosquitoes want your blood.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Yes, mosquitoes are vampires. They're just too small to fear.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yes, and to put little black capes on.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yes, and easier to kill.

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yes, they are to do is make a little X
with your fingers.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
They hate being reminded of the crucifixion. Uh, they're very religious. Yeah,
well that's that's amazing that we've both been. I don't know,
maybe everyone's experienced that, but a whole cloud of bees,
that's a rare situation.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Not cool.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Watching bees work in tandem to attack you is a
very humbling experience.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Did they form a certain shape when they came at you?

Speaker 4 (18:52):
Like? Did they?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
It was a finger? It was a pointing finger.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Of doom mine before they attacked my crotch while I
was repelling spelled my name in perfect cursed.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Oh, it's back when they used to teach it in school.
These days, they don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
They all type all the time.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, they're just doing emoji of a smiley face.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
Yeah, p's these days. That's why. That's why we're not
seeing them anymore. Workoutes don't want to work anymore. But yeah,
so I got it. That was That was my whole weekend.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (19:29):
Yeah, sorry, when you swung into the beehive, yes, you
were at twelve.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
Oh that was later when I when I was on
the rope that was swinging, Yes, that was I was
maybe younger, Maybe it's more like ten and nine, ten
or nine I'd have to see the actual photo.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (19:49):
When I was repelling and kicked a hornet's nest which
then rested for a moment in my crotch area, and
then I let go of the rope and landed in
a river. The many stayed just a fear with that accident.
It ended with me feeling soothed by the cold water
and the bees being washed off me immediately. But then
I did not swim, so that was a whole another fear.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
But those were like wasps, waspss.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
You don't know how to swim, and you were like eleven.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
I've I learned to swim very late in life because
of a near drowning when I was young.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
It is very scared of water.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
You have buried the lead for eleven years.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
I have never told you.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
No.

Speaker 5 (20:31):
I we were canoeing and getting out of the boat,
so we were taking off our life jackets.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Like my dad had his leg out of the canoe.
It was a canoe, which you know, we all know.
They tip over like a jeep. They're the jeeps of
the river. Believe it, I can't because I lived it.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
Oh, I get it, yeah, yeah, I As we went
sideways towards this briar patch or very thorny bush.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
We all pushed against it, and as a family we
tipped over. Oh, and I immediately yes.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
We held hands and said where are the fairbanks?

Speaker 4 (21:10):
Is?

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Little bye?

Speaker 5 (21:11):
And I held onto underneath the canoe and was just
had my head above water.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
And meanwhile my dad thought I was gone.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
Jesus.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
To this day, it's he said, he was one of
the scariest moments in his life because he's looking for
me and couldn't find me. And I was just fine
under them. But yeah, that was That was me being
scared of water for a long time. Okay, we're back
from a quick beverage break.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
I mean we had to take a serious break.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
I did get a flat tire while in the left
lane of the one on one. God I heard that,
and a semi that was behind me turned slowly diagonal
to make a pathway for me to get off.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
On the firm on exit. And then I waved at
him and he gave me a military salute.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Hell yeah, he thought you were an army general.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
He did. He's something about I thought I only got
that when I had a mustache, But he knew.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
That I served Yeah, he could feel.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
He knew that I've gone surfing.

Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's such a generous thing for him to do it
and totally saved me because it didn't like blow up.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
It just I could suddenly hear it go rubbing against
my fender.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
M hmm.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
I'm like, I have to get off now, otherwise I'm
stuck on the freeway. And he made my day and
I ended up in a perfect spot outside the rain,
underneath the tree. And yeah, the rest of the day
was my lug nuts. The nuts are attached to I

(22:54):
guess it would be a lug. My five lugs. Two
of them were fused to a bolt like they went to. Yeah,
that's why my sound effects. By the way, that's a log,
not gun.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
I knew exactly where I was in the shop.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
Rate.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, it's more of a pit crew, okay, go or
otherwise tied. It's going to drop us as a sponsor.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
That's okay. We have forty five other sponors. Look at my.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
Jacket, can't you read them?

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Very large and legibly? That bolts snapped off, So I
then needed to put several hundred dollars of work into
my actual wheel. But now I'm safe and uh, and
that's thanks to that truck. Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
The hard working men and women who journey across bringing
us all of our goods are also life savers.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
I could have raced him, Oh that's a Tesla two.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, it would have been a dead heat. I think
yours is higher performing, though I think so too.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
Yes, it's definitely actually physically taller in stature.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
That's cheaper one.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Today's guest and I.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
He reached out and said, hey, I'm about to do
your podcast. Would you maybe want to go skating at
Costco beforehand.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Just to get to know each other?

Speaker 2 (24:17):
And you said no.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
I said, who the fuck is this?

Speaker 2 (24:21):
How day?

Speaker 1 (24:22):
How did you get this number?

Speaker 4 (24:25):
No?

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I said I'll be there and we met, but.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
Then woke up in the morning it was raining, so
we didn't go to Costco, which is right around the
corner here from his place.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
But I'm very excited to meet him.

Speaker 5 (24:34):
And I did go and watch some of his skate
footage and he is very very good.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Is that right?

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (24:42):
He still can like what I do on curbs. He
jumps still all leays up into on very tall ledges.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
I'm a curb skater. He's still is a ledge skater
and is.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
That which one? Do the boys like better? Or do
you guys not?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
And fool people with certain tricks.

Speaker 5 (25:02):
But he can do the trick that only that separates,
you know, the pros from the men, from the children
from the amateurs. And I'm a child amateur. He can
do backside tail slides, which I never figured out. I
focused on them for an entire handful of summers, and
they're scary because you can't see.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Where you're going. Oh when you jump up into it,
you're going backwards basically, and you have to get on
the tail. And he does. I looked at his video
and he's doing big, long backside tail sides. So if
you when he gets in here, it'd be really fun.
If you said, I heard you can do backside tail slides, okay,
and all the into them, that'll be fun. I love

(25:46):
going in with a with a sketch.

Speaker 3 (25:48):
Yes, yes, this is going to be incredible and not
feel clunky or weird.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
No no, no, every time you set something up it's
going to feel fresh and new. So once again, it's
an all into a line.

Speaker 3 (26:03):
I heard you can all into a backside tails, Thank you,
thank you. I can do it. And if I don't.
Only you can use that audio I just gave.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
You and I've edited in anywhere you want to.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
You got you when you say it again, it's just
gonna be coincidence that it sounds identical in cadence.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
There he is.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeay, yay.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
You know today's guests from clubs and colleges put your
ears together for John Millstein. Everyone, Hey John, Why John?

Speaker 4 (26:38):
How are you guys doing?

Speaker 1 (26:39):
We're doing terrifically.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
You are almost ridiculously close to where we tried to
meet for skate fun.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
I know, Yeah, we were going to have a skate
session this week, little am skate session, break the ice.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
Yeah, it would have been It would have been great.
We can still do it now.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
Every time you do podcast you you boys only meet ups?

Speaker 2 (27:01):
First genre?

Speaker 4 (27:02):
Is that just well?

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Yes, you are try to You're always yes, You're always invited.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Karen, thank you.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
That's all I wanted to hear.

Speaker 4 (27:12):
Chris, I have to tell you something, so and sorry
to also just direct Mike. Let's talk just to the man.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Of this nation.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
But yeah, we had made that plan and I dreamt
about you the night before we were supposed to meet up.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Oh the sorry I did. I was I weird.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
No, it was, uh, well, you got mad at me
in the dream, see that.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
I knew it. I knew it. I am terrible in
other people's dreams.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Yeah, it was. It was weird because like the dream
was so close to what the reality was was going
to be where it was like the dream was about
us meeting up to go skateboarding, but in the dream
we were at my house in New Hampshire where my
family lives, and you got mad that I about the
Google Maps element. I don't know, mister. Yeah, isn't that crazy.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Because because I couldn't find directions to your parents' house.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
In the dream, you like drove over my parents lawn
and you were like, oh, the pin was in the
wrong place. Look, I'm kind of like I'm typically anti
discussing dreams because like they didn't happen right someplace I see.
But you know, I felt like this was so crazy
because it was just crazy that that happened.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, I am not at all shocked.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
I am in everyone's dreams, and I am not a
good version of myself.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Yeah you were, you were you were pretty cruel.

Speaker 5 (28:32):
But the only the good version of me is in
my dreams. In reality, I'm a monster.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Right right, Yeah, but I got to enter those. Maybe
I can go into those and then and then I'll
meet the good because you can dream about me, and
then we can we can make this work.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
And then oh yeah, there's supposed to be there isn't
ability to do that if you and your sleeping partner,
which how I that's how I call any union as
a sleep if you decide consciously to not only remember
your dreams but have each other be in them. I've

(29:08):
had it work. Oh really, it's an exercise. Try it
next time you're in a bunk bed.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Or oh my god, yeah that's crazy.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Yeah, and it did work.

Speaker 4 (29:21):
Yeah, it's amazing what we can do in dreams. If
you guys ever Lucid dreamed it is, it is really
crazy when that happens.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
And what remind me of what that is because you're
walking around right.

Speaker 4 (29:31):
Yeah, pretty much you get to control your actions in
the dream. Every time that it's ever happened to me,
I got so excited that I was Lucid dreaming that
I like, you wake yourself up because you're like, I
can't believe this is happening, and then like I can
do anything, and then you immediately wake up. But it
is really cool.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
See I've only had the night terror version where it's
a bad dream and I'm awake but I can't move because.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
Oh wow, okay cool. Wait. So Karen's was passing me
here drink that I thought this was yours. You're drinking
out of it.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
I'm so sorry. I did not drink out of it.
Out of this one like sliding in because we all loved.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Sorry surprise coffee.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
No, I'm only stopping because is that the drink that
you poured that mysterious powder is it's lucid dream.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Everyone's going to dream about me.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Now, I didn't get I asked last to ask if
you wanted anything, didn't get a message. And then I
just said, he's going to get a vanilla lode.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
Oh that's great. I love that.

Speaker 3 (30:31):
And then but then you actually asked for something different,
and it was essentially the answer was no.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
This is similar to what I asked for was similar,
and that it was food and this is more water based.

Speaker 5 (30:42):
But from that, holorically, holorically, it's right at one nine.
It'd be funny if this was like, for whatever religious reasons,
for whatever reasons, you'd never had coffee before. And you're
out of politeness. Yeah, yeah, definitely allergic to caffeine.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
Yeah yeah. Are there other religions besides Mormonism that don't
allows none that matter? Yeah, easy.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
I behold the word of Joseph Jacob Janelheimer Smith that
happens to be my name.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Also, I have a thing.

Speaker 3 (31:18):
Sorry to go back to lucid dreaming really quick. I
have a thing where it is not lucid dreaming, but
I have recurring like sets. And so then when I
when that kind of like setting appears where it's there's
one strip mall that looks like it's on the way
to Las Vegas, I go to a lot and when
I get there, that's why I'm like, oh, okay, I'm
here again.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
This is a dream. And then it usually ends soon
after that.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Wow, oh wow.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Just trying to break into the dreaming boy conversation is
so sorry.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
And that's a set, and that's a place that really exists,
or it's only no, it's.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Just in my mind. It's the strip mall of my mind.
But it comes.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
It's like David, it is it's like a long road
in the middle of nowhere and suddenly I'm like, what's
that over there, and then when I get up close
to it, it's literally like the cheesiest kind of strip
mall with you know, like an Anti Ann's pretzel place
in it.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
Just real basic.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
Has it changed over time? Like? Is it modernized?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Everyone is?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Sometimes there's like a different piece of it, and then
if I go over there, a different thing happens.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Every year of more stores are closed.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Yeah, Amazon is just moving in. Well I guess maybe
not Amazon if it's the roadside. Thankfully fast food is
safe from Amazon for now, but maybe not for long.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah, how else am I going to get my coveted
orange Julius?

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Man, that's so interesting to think that everybody experiences dreaming
so differently, because I would never even think that that
could happen, that there would be a place.

Speaker 3 (32:50):
You don't have any recurrings, No, not really, nothing spots,
nothing like that.

Speaker 5 (32:55):
Do either of you ever have dreams where you're not
in them and people you know in them? They're just
manufactured faces, actors that you've hired that don't exist, that
you've made up for your dreams, new faces, new people strictly,
and you're just watching a movie, so you're not even
in the dream.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
I'm not in the dream maybe for a second, and
that's you know, all of a sudden, I'm on a
boat and it's a different dreams you are.

Speaker 6 (33:24):
Yeah, that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
This is incredible.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
I p Well.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
That's the frustrating thing is that sometimes I wake up
and I'm like, oh, that was the best idea ever,
and it's gone almost always. I don't remember my dreams,
so I can never get mad at anyone. Also, so
many screenplays are just going one ear out the other.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Rush Hour three, all.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
All different Rushowers, all strangers. You've never seen any of it.
It's not Jackie Chance.

Speaker 5 (33:58):
I am responsible for the fact that we haven't seen
Chris Tucker in anything in years.

Speaker 4 (34:03):
Oh yeah, please change that.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
I can't remember all my Rush Hour dreams.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
So how's the drive been so far?

Speaker 1 (34:15):
It's been great?

Speaker 2 (34:16):
Yeah, pretty easy.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah, we've had I mean, there was one drag race
really against another tesla.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Does that a lot? It's borderline dangerous.

Speaker 3 (34:29):
I was gonna gun it just to get up to
your street quickly, and then I was like, this guy
is also in this kind of car. He's absolutely not
going to not participate in this drag race, So I
just won't do it.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Karen, have you thought about getting one of those stickers
that says like I got this before the Orange Man's
back in office.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
That's funny that you mentioned that I've gotten her two
of them. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
The first one got stuck right on the seem understandably,
I'm not poking.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
Fine, it was perfectly lined up.

Speaker 2 (35:05):
I put it on in the dark.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
It was equal distant from the bumper to the wing.
You know.

Speaker 4 (35:10):
It was putting a sticker on the dark of bumper
sticks such as a brazen move. It was.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
It's real bold And I basically did it right along
the trunk, seems so that then when you open the trunk,
it just ripped the sticker in held.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
Yeah okay, yeah, and I got our replacement.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
But Karen's getting a new car, so.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Oh yeah, And is that because is that it all related?

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (35:32):
Wow, I know crazy.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
Since it kind of began, I was like, this doesn't
feel good at all. And and also like, as much
as I really love like the power of this car,
the cool thing is is like most electric cars have
the same kind of pickup and all that, it's not
it's not brand specific.

Speaker 4 (35:51):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
So but I'm also.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
Very bad with like getting day to day stuff done.
So it's been taking me much much longer then it
should because I just like I could could be doing
it going on. I think it's not Canva.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
What's the CarMax?

Speaker 4 (36:09):
Yes, CarMax, So you that that makes it so you
don't really have to negotiate. It's just sort of like
this is the right.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
That's the part I have anguish about. And I've never
even done it before. I've only bought from independent like
used car people. The one my my current car, I guess.
But I just walked in and said, give me that
one and I'll pay whatever it costs, and they were
shocked that I didn't.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
Yeah, I had. I bought a car. And my ex
came with me, and she is great and she I'm
going good terms with her. Let's just make that clear,
yes right now. But she was like, I'm gonna be
it's gonna be a good cop, bad cop. You know
I was good cop, obviously. She came in with such bluster,

(37:00):
and I was like satisfying to watch her get the
I feel like achievement, the feeling that she had gotten
a lot of money off the price. But I don't
think I think it was just like a little play
that she got to put on for herself, Like, I
don't think that the price came down that much.

Speaker 3 (37:15):
They always have that that percentage where it's like we're
automatically going to do this.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Does everyone at least asked oh really, no, No, I'm
kind of asking.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
Yes, yes, okay, yes, but yes, oh like a fantasy
play with you, Like she said you'd be good cop.
I'll be bad cop here where this ball gag?

Speaker 4 (37:34):
Yeah, it was exactly yeah, And the car dealer was like,
please just get out of business. Never are.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yeah, that's what I want.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
I want someone to go in with me that has
experience and like be waiting outside in a van surveillance
style and I have.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
A mic in my ear and.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
They tell me how to haggle, and then they make
that person fall in love with you. But it's really
nice that they should be following a lot with one
of those kind.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Of yes, yes, I want years, Yeah, a lot.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
I mean, nobody really knows how to haggle anymore though,
unless you have maybe like family that is in a
business where haggling is a big part of it, or
like lawyers or something. But I feel like most people
it's so not a part of most people's day to
day that you wouldn't immediately be like like that happened
to me at capacadying at the Rose Bowl flea market,
or I found a thing that was like a reference

(38:31):
to a joke my dad used to make of a
puppet from the fifties. And they had the puppet and
I'm like, I need that puppet. I have to buy
that right now. And the guy's like okay, and I'm
like how much? And then he's like, you know, whatever
the price was, and I'm like great, and he's like,
you're not gonna You're not gonna waggle.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Like he was baffled.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Funny, he started talking to the other vendors, was like,
she just she just paid the price. She just paid
the superprice, right Like, I'm not here to fight with strangers.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
I just want to buy stuff.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
Yes, it is expected at flea market, and I also
never will I just haggling is for people in the
textile industry, you.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
Think so carpets.

Speaker 4 (39:09):
I wonder what you think that is that that makes
you feel that people don't haggle anymore.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
I mean I could be wrong, but where would they
do it?

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Sometimes I wonder if in our in our biz, you know,
people have these agents and managers and things who take
a pretty penny, and so people kind of have to
It's like learned infantilism or something where you're like, well,
i'd pasonally do that. So I can't even like begin
to talk about rights like making a deal, yeah, because

(39:39):
I feel like in the corporate world people are people
may still be doing right and enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
If you are a business driven, driven successful person, it
is by being what we would call cheap. Yeah, you
make sure you watch every dollar. The wealthiest people I know.

Speaker 5 (40:00):
Do not spend an extra penny and they tip fifteen percent.

Speaker 4 (40:05):
If that that's gonna be me someday and.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
I yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Just want to rip off a little guy.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:13):
There's a support group called under Earner's Anonymous that is
for a lot of artists types.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Oh really art artistic types. I don't know why I
said artist types.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
I was going to get right on your floor.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
I know I should have.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Been wearing a beret, but it you know, I've always
undersold to the point where I got frustrated doing it
for a living, like my art and illustrations, you know,
like I don't treat it like a business, and I'm like, oh,
I know what I want.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
For it, and I've never asked what I want. Yeah,
And that's like a disease like alcoholism. You can go
to or at least there's support groups.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
But once you get the exposure, I mean, you just
got to get the posure and then it'll all pay
all payback and pull you know, it's just you just
gotta do it for way under your raid forever and
then I guess when you're dead, it'll be good.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Right, really value you.

Speaker 4 (41:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
Yeah, if I did it consistently, i'd get in the habit.
But I always take breaks and then start over from
scratch with the what is my worth part of it?

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Did you illustrate the album art or the podcast I did?

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:26):
I love that. I was. I was looking and I
was trying to think, like what is the style of
Like what is this referencing? This feels like a certain
art style, but I was wondering what, Oh isn't sort
of inspired by or do you feel like it's just
just straight from the mind.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Yeah, it's it's not till later.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
Like with comedy, I was doing it for a while
before people were like, oh, you remind me of this
person or Bob Newhart or whatever, and then I.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Was influenced after the fact because I related.

Speaker 5 (41:54):
But with art, the same thing was like people always
said that Robert Crumb guy.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Oh of course it was of course familiar. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You wouldn't want to bring him to a dinner and
have a few glasses of wine.

Speaker 4 (42:13):
Uh these days.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
You know, he liked the big leg ladies, really big.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
You like to be crushed.

Speaker 2 (42:21):
Did you see that the Crumb documentary? I think I
watched so fascinating.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, and as I think, I remember being nauseous a
couple of times.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Well, his brother did that thing where he swallowed one
piece of yarn or rope and pulled it through his body.

Speaker 4 (42:39):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Did you like that?

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Was that should be the famous brother?

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Yeah, because I just made it a tapeworm. It was
just yarn.

Speaker 2 (42:47):
It was just yeah, he did that himself. That was
his choice. Wow, some stuff going on?

Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yeah, that is Was there a reason for it?

Speaker 3 (42:58):
I can't remember. I think watch that in the nineties,
but it was almost like his thing was that's he
needed his system to be clean, and so it was
kind of like his idea of.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
How you could Oh wow, do that.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
If I'm not mistaken, we should we should all rewatch
and get the real story.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
It sounds like he should have just gotten a tape or.

Speaker 4 (43:18):
M Yeah, we got to go to a drive in
and see if they're playing the Crumb document, like that happen?

Speaker 2 (43:26):
What else is going on in your life?

Speaker 1 (43:27):
John, Yeah?

Speaker 4 (43:28):
Not too much. Well, when you guys came through, I
was dealing with some rug business around my living room.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
That's the only business you can haggle.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
In, right, haggling with the creases. I just bought a
rug used and I probably I like tend to overthink
furniture purchases.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
And because it's expensive.

Speaker 4 (43:53):
Well this actually was not expensive. Oh it was like
really cheap. But I feel like I overthink it just
because I don't want to take stuff into my life
that I don't really like a lot, right, I think
that's it. And also there's all these things about sort
of interior design that maybe other people learn them at
certain points, but I feel like I'm constantly googling to

(44:17):
see like what are the basic rules of colors?

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Right?

Speaker 3 (44:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (44:23):
So yeah, but as you guys came to reach me,
I was I had bought the rug and then I
bought a rug pad and I was figuring out the
I was dealing with a rug pad and trying to
get it all sort of straight.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
With the rug And how much was that rug? Will
you tell us?

Speaker 4 (44:39):
Oh? Hell yeah, and it's wool, it's real wool, it's Turkish.

Speaker 1 (44:44):
Brought them down to one hundred.

Speaker 4 (44:45):
Yeah, I do have no I actually think I'm not
that bad at hackling and with this rug. I mean,
you know, I'll just say, like I buy on Facebook Marketplace,
they were selling for one fifty. I say, can you
take one twenty? It's just easy. Yeah, might as well.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Can I get a discount for the body shaped? Bloodstained exactly?

Speaker 5 (45:04):
I worry about the history. Yeah, yeah, what has happened
on that rug?

Speaker 4 (45:10):
I know?

Speaker 1 (45:10):
I wonder, Oh that's totally.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Normal and absolutely safe.

Speaker 1 (45:13):
Wow, I think we're about to see something.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
I usually have to go to Instagram to my one
of my dash cam sites for it.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
Wow, he's doing it.

Speaker 3 (45:24):
That guy actually just remembered I did haggle for something recently.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I went to the Sunset where.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
The Melrosen oh cool.

Speaker 3 (45:34):
Whatever that place is called, and there was a gold
horse like I think it was probably a book added
or something, and I was like, I need that gold
horse and it not real gold obviously, and I think
the price was like sixty five dollars, and so I
was like, oh, I really want that gold horse.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Would you take fifty? And the guy just give me this,
gave this huge smile and he goes, no, oh wow.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
And I was like, okay, I guess I'll take your price.
My mistake, I guess saying I really wanted it.

Speaker 5 (46:04):
Oh wow, that's why he smiled. Yeah, He's like it's
a cool Yeah, it's a game of poker to him.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
My dad all used to say with hackling, the key
is to walk away, which is kind of I think
not true, like because that that requires a state of
desperation on the part of the seller that like, I
don't think they often have, like look, if you don't
want my thirty bucks, like you're not gonna get it, Yeah,
you better scream, you better cry out for me to
come back. Yeah, but at that milose Fleet. I once
had an experience of like I bought a backpack and

(46:33):
it was forty bucks and I was like, would you
take twenty four it? And he was like, no, I
would take thirty. And I was like, all right, walk away,
and I really wanted it, and I came. I came
back for you and it was humiliated.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
That is really humili Yeah.

Speaker 4 (46:44):
My dad's gambit did not work at all.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
That's like the time I came crawling back to T
Mobile after announcing before ferociously hanging up with.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
My that you just push a button. It's it's not
as ramatic like you.

Speaker 5 (47:01):
Lost a customer and they're like, yeah, I could give a.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Ship, keep crawling back.

Speaker 4 (47:07):
What are you going to switch to?

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Yes, it's gonna switch to uh Ryan, Yes, to boost
Mobile because I'm always on the go drag dealer. No,
I had to go back because when I moved to
Echo Park suddenly work. Yeah, so I had to and
I'm happy with the mobile people.

Speaker 4 (47:31):
Yeah. Those are some of the best tagglings you can
do is with your internet provider. Yeah, because if you
if you want to make your price lower, they will
do it every year. But you just have to call
and say I'm leaving and they like and it's kind
of a little fun dance that everybody. Both people know
how it's going to end, but they'll give you. Everyone

(47:51):
should be doing that every year if you want to
have my fifteen percent tip become a millionaire? Yes, that's key.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Are you gradually, over a long period of time become
a millionaire?

Speaker 3 (48:05):
But it also feels I think my thing with especially
that kind of haggling is like, if you know, and
I know, why can't I just.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
Why aren't you just doing this?

Speaker 4 (48:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (48:15):
Why do I have to be involved with you at all?
And like can't you just? But I guess you're right.

Speaker 3 (48:20):
It's like the people who go earn it will get
that discount, and everybody else is like, then you're a
sucker and you're just not getting it.

Speaker 4 (48:28):
Yeah, And I do think a lot of people and
I've I've been in this camp before. We've got subscriptions
for things we don't use, streaming services, hard to keep
up with all that stuff?

Speaker 2 (48:37):
True, it is.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
I still have subscriptions to certain magazines because I felt
sorry for someone on my.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Doorstep name the magazine, well Thrasher. But I don't need
the print version. I still get it.

Speaker 4 (48:52):
Oh really, yes? And do you read it?

Speaker 1 (48:54):
I do read it. I enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Do you tape up any pages of it?

Speaker 4 (48:59):
Like do I my wall of different sorties?

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (49:05):
I might not get this, but but Rosie was the shorties. Yes,
that was very sexy at a time. Yeah, Sorr again
with more voice.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Yeah, and boy was she Kirby.

Speaker 3 (49:19):
Do you think that I don't know how to do
a backside tail slidees?

Speaker 2 (49:23):
I fucking did.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Awesome. Was a great pull for that.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (49:28):
Chris completely set me up beforehand.

Speaker 2 (49:30):
To be able to do that.

Speaker 4 (49:31):
Hole. That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (49:32):
It came out of nowhere. I was like, what right?
I set it up and I was like, how did
you know that? I told her you that is the
trick that separates a lot.

Speaker 4 (49:43):
Of Oh yeah, I heard myself pretty bad on a
kick flip backside tail slide a couple of years ago.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (49:48):
The fact that you're kick flipping and that is a
that's a real trick. There's a I tried very hard
for many years to do backside tail slides, and they're
very hard.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
I never really got good at them. I have to say,
I have to say it.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
You're going to give it up to the person who
can do it.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
Yes, yeah, nice, Yeah, it's so fun.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
It is fun. We'll go there, or we'll go here anywhere.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
Yeah, not here, but we're passing by home depot a
skate spot. What level of narration. Do you do for
the listeners of where you are? Because earlier when you
you reacted to a car swerving. But I just want
the listeners to know that when when they all said
that this was a dash can, it was a car swerving,
And I feel like, maybe I don't know. I don't

(50:33):
want to critique the podcasts like these are notes for us.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Right, No, you're right, I never I never describe. It's
like my first comedy album.

Speaker 5 (50:44):
When I listened to it later, I'm like, these are
all Half of these are visual jokes. I was not
describing the position of my body while telling this joke.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
Yeah, we need that.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
This is such a great idea for a podcast. I'm
so happy to be on it.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Thank you, You've completely redeemed yourself.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
Well.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
And also did you I haven't seen you since this happened,
I don't think. But there was a day where we
had a guest who has a name a lot like yours,
and when I saw it on my phone, yes, basically
while I was working, it was like what do I
have to do at the end of the day, And
I was like, oh my god, I get to see
John Millstein. That's so fun. And then we got there

(51:27):
and it was a different person. Then I was like, Hey,
can we book John Millstein please?

Speaker 4 (51:31):
That's awesome.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
That's what I thought was happening today.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
Okay, got it. Yeah, I've gotten checks for that from
that guy before, really really small checks.

Speaker 2 (51:39):
That's hilarious.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
But I told you I didn't deposit them. I mean
that crosses the line for me.

Speaker 5 (51:45):
There is a and I've mentioned this before, but there's
another Chris Fairbanks who does comedy and has been on
Comedy Central.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
No way, that's crazy, but he's more of a dramatic actor.

Speaker 5 (51:57):
And he came to a show when I first smoothed
to La and he's like, we have a problem and
for IMDb. I didn't even know what IMDb was. I
didn't even know I would get into acting. And we
just decided he'd be Christopher and I'd be Chris. But
secretly I wanted to be Christopher in Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (52:18):
Wait, how did you what role did you have in
deciding for him?

Speaker 5 (52:22):
He said, I go by Christopher, and I'm like, I
pretty much go by Chris, and then we shook hands
and it was over. Yeah, but he was a kind man.
But there's never been a problem and it's the exact
same name.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (52:36):
So it's insane that you got to check from this
Southern comic this one.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Wow. When did you move here?

Speaker 4 (52:45):
I moved here in twenty thirteen. My brother was living
out here before. He was working in entertainment and kind
comedy and yeah, he was like, you should come out here.
And he's a teacher, wise man, and I'm slugging it out.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
That's terrific.

Speaker 4 (53:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
Yeah, But you were like, what science you were going to? Brown?
Isn't Brown? That's like an Ivy League nice school.

Speaker 4 (53:12):
Yes, you are good at I had the benefits of
a great education.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Isn't that like a math school?

Speaker 4 (53:19):
They do everything a little bit everything?

Speaker 5 (53:21):
Yeah, I thought, yeah, just from movies I've seen and
certainly not books. I thought that it was like where
all the the math geniuses go.

Speaker 4 (53:33):
I think, yeah, I think they have honestly a moderately
not that I don't think it's particularly strong.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
And what you were there for?

Speaker 4 (53:40):
I did do science there. I was like pre med
and but they had amazing comedy groups there. Oh really,
And so yeah, I just met so many cool people
and it became like so much a larger part of
my college experience than the school, although I was a
fucking nerd spending a lot of time in the library.
One of my biggest regrets. I could have been doing anything,

(54:03):
meeting people from other cultures, you know, and name anything else,
but I was in the library the whole time.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
And how did your when you made that choice, or
did you graduate with like a degree in that and
then go into comedy.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
I graduated with the science degree.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Oh wow, so you could go back you have a
safety nut.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Theoretically, yes, theoretically if I were to. I know, it's
so crazy think about making a change. When when my
brother made the switch from comedy to teaching, I was
just so impressed. It's so hard to be like, I'm
going to make a change. And frankly, I think that
in La right now made a lot of people may
be staring down that decision because it was so hard

(54:43):
right now. Yeah, for sure, I think it's just like,
it's so yeah, it's really hard to be like, I'm
really going to try something else.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Also, it's really noble to not just to try something
really really hard, because teaching is a very very difficult job,
and like to do the thing that actually is.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Needed and valuable.

Speaker 3 (55:02):
Definitely, my sister is a teacher, and I'm always just
like people are like, is Karen here the comedian, and
she's like, yeah, it's just me the teacher, sculpting young
minds every day.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
Yeah, it's amazing. My brother says that teaching is like
five or ten times harder than his old job, because
sometimes when you're working in showbiz, you'd have a day
where you're like just sitting yep, right, and you know,
when you're teaching. I like, I feel like I now
divide jobs into two categories, where some jobs like people
know if you're not working, and a lot of jobs
now people don't know if you're not working, you know.

(55:36):
But if you're like a teacher, there's a twenty kid
staring at you and you can't just like go on
a website for a little while.

Speaker 5 (55:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah that I don't think I could adjust
after all this time. Also, I don't think my degree,
like what's the shelf life on a degree?

Speaker 1 (55:50):
Wouldn't you have to brush up with?

Speaker 4 (55:52):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (55:52):
The oct it?

Speaker 4 (55:53):
What did you do?

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Years of art history? And I can't.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
I can't recite a single thing that I memorize to
get that degree. Just looking at paintings and being able
to talk about them basically.

Speaker 4 (56:06):
Yeah, you're kind of an nartsy kid.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
Yes, that is what I went to school for it.
I thought that was gonna be wow, and like you,
I was like, I think I'm on to comedy. Yeah,
graduated and went somewhere and started it.

Speaker 4 (56:20):
Yeah. I mean, I feel like college is such a
When I moved out here, I was I was always
jealous of people who met their comedy partners in college
because I do feel like you fail in like an
environment where you everybody is so supportive. It's like a
really good I feel like there are a lot of
examples of that. I don't know, Neil Campbell and Paul Russ. Yeah,

(56:43):
they're coming to mind.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
Yeah. Yeah, oh you worked at UCB, right.

Speaker 4 (56:47):
I did do UCB a lot, and I worked at
Funnier Die. That was like a fun uh. I mean
that was amazing when you is.

Speaker 5 (56:55):
That what you did all the paid partnership videos for.

Speaker 4 (56:59):
Wow, you you are. You're killing it on this bio.

Speaker 1 (57:02):
Stuff really does the reason I watch videos.

Speaker 4 (57:07):
I've been crazy.

Speaker 5 (57:08):
Yeah, I saw the best Buy one, I saw the
band Aid one I saw awesome, But the other one
I saw that was so cool and I went At first,
I was like, these are real, and then I saw
that you're talking about old people not being able to dispext.

Speaker 4 (57:24):
That is so amazing. I'm so appreciative. Yeah, that was all.
I mean, that was all after uh that like the
fall of digital media jobs and then everybody's taken to
their cell phone. Yeah, phone for everything.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
It's funnier.

Speaker 4 (57:39):
Still correct. They definitely have had a troubled I think
it's fair to say they've had a troubled period over
the past few years. But I mean they want they
want an Emmy. I think for the weird Al Yankovic movie,
which is great.

Speaker 1 (57:53):
I loved that movie.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
Yeah, I liked it. I wouldn't say I loved it, Okay,
I gotta go on the record. I did not.

Speaker 1 (58:01):
I watched it twice.

Speaker 4 (58:03):
Really, Yeah, that's great. It was.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
It was a nice surprise.

Speaker 5 (58:05):
But that's one of those that's a product of me
knowing nothing going into it, and you feel like you
discovered a thing.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
That's all.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
If someone told me it was good, I probably would
have been like, it's not that good.

Speaker 4 (58:15):
Are you like a comedy fan? Like do you look
you got like big, big laughers and big because I
feel like a lot of comedians are not. Yeah, a
lot of critics lurking around.

Speaker 2 (58:25):
I'm a big withholder for sure.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
I like to really act like you've got to earn it,
and I'm gonna really be discerning.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
And I'm from the nineties.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
That's what we used to be like, it was very
popular to be rude and mean.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
I'm different with movies that I still really like watching
stand up and live comedy at all levels.

Speaker 1 (58:49):
And I'm the one comic on a show stays and
watches the whole show. But yes, I don't watch comedy movies.

Speaker 4 (58:55):
I mean they don't exist, so that that is. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:59):
I watched horror movies.

Speaker 4 (59:00):
And stuff interesting. Yeah, yeah, do you guys see one
of them days? A recent comedy movie I like, Oh yeah,
with Scissa Palmer.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
I want to see it. I almost went to the
Almo and it seemed like a classic, Like.

Speaker 4 (59:16):
Yeah, like it. Yeah, I mean these things the weird
l's one of them days. I mean it's been said before,
but they don't make them all that much.

Speaker 5 (59:24):
Yes, yeah, it's I do want to thank you for
reminding me of that one. I want to see it.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
It's a funny. I love that.

Speaker 4 (59:31):
I mean yeah, yeah, she was good.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
You can do it all. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
She When I did the Bumber Shoot, not bumper Shoot,
bumber Shoot, a specific ballooning word festival, they says a
play it and all the comics. When watched and we
were like in tears.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
She was so amazing.

Speaker 5 (59:51):
Oh wow, just so likable and funny and and so
talented and I knew nothing about her.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
Do you guys ever get of a musician because when
they do jokes in there between their songs, they can
get laughs off of anything you have to say, any
like anything that's an aberration from the song. You had
a huge laugh.

Speaker 5 (01:00:12):
Yeah, Oh I just broke a string there applause break
that wasn't even ironic, and just saying a thing that happened.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
I find that's what live podcasting is like, because basically
you've papered the audience with people who already love you,
so it doesn't matter what you say because they just
want to show you that they love you. As opposed
to a comedy audience. It's like me in the nineties
where it's like I'll decide if you're funny right right,
which is usually the stand up vibe.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
How long do you go on a live podcast because
that feels controversial.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
We're driving you to Mammoth.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Yes, are you ready?

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
I told you to bring it too Sprush.

Speaker 5 (01:00:49):
There was one like hardcore band that I remember from
like two thousand and three. Don't ask me the name,
I can't remember, but THEU That guy was legitimately hilarious.

Speaker 1 (01:01:01):
To where I was like, he should have been a comic.

Speaker 4 (01:01:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:01:05):
Someone said they said something about social media, and someone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:09):
Yelled, what is your at? Like they took a picture
and thought that was a good thing to yell, and
he said, my app you're at. He's like, I think
you said APP. I want to do uber, but it's
monkeys driving and they don't pick up humans, they just

(01:01:29):
pick up other monkeys. So that's my idea. Yeah, and
he yes.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
I was like wait a minute, and no one laughed
because it was too weird. It wasn't just oh my
string broke, so they were like huh. And I'm like,
Uber for monkeys driven by monkeys passengers or monkeys is
the best riff.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
You find the guy After the show, you're like, you
gotta go into comedy too. Well.

Speaker 5 (01:01:56):
He said it so seriously that they believed him, and
they were like, that's not that good of an idea,
Like it was like these do you? And I told
him afterwards, I clawed my way to the green room
to say, hey, that monkey business top drawer, sir.

Speaker 1 (01:02:11):
That's what I said.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
You guys, there's a billboard in front of us that
looks like somebody made a mistake doing like the photoshopping.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
Give me the Wicked Witch skin color?

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
You could pluck my eyebrows a little bit too much.

Speaker 1 (01:02:27):
Yeah, it also looks like it's one of those Scooby
Doo paintings where if you walk around the room the
eyes will follow you. I it's a lawyer, and he's
green everybody.

Speaker 4 (01:02:38):
And it's a it is a personal injury lawyer. And
I feel like you've got to have a bit for that.
I mean, there's so many great la personal injury lawyers,
incredible billboards.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
Were you like me slimed today?

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
Do you love the movie Wicked and you've been in
a car accident, Do.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
