Speaker 2 (01:26):
Can you feel the studio heat?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It's coming off you a hot on.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Air conditioned studio. Can you feel it?
Speaker 4 (01:35):
With a west facing window that kills you every day and.
Speaker 7 (01:40):
Night, a north facing window would be even worse with
its sun all day?
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Is it?
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Well?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I'm drigging a by what I've learned about mountains.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
A lot of the ski areas in Montana the snow
melts because they're south facing. You want it facing north
when you're in this part, this vicinity from the equator.
So I hate that I corrected your studio window. You can,
but a northeast of the window would be the worst.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
Well, now we're in a fight.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
We are. That's what it is like in this business.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
That's right. It is cut throat.
Speaker 8 (02:23):
Man eat dog eat man, rain and like cats swallow
the fly to find the cat, right.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, I think it just got hot in the card.
So that guy lost control of my.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Owning a little bit more of that song, if you
don't mind.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
He swallowed the cat to taste the my frogs. It's
pet t Anderson movie. In the Frogs and movie I
think shot in Burbank most of them, I bet, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:56):
That's where he's from, or like the Valley.
Speaker 7 (02:59):
Yeah, I was at Largo and he was in the
green room, and I was also in the green room
talking about Punch Drunk Love, not realizing because they were
talking about movies he did and he had a beard,
and then did you shot on it?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
No? I just said that I liked this My Aarowitz Stories.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
Movie better because I was on a chovin Adam Sandler
and he's very nice, and we were talking about because
that movie had come out and I really liked it.
But it seemed like that very Eagan character, an extension
to him, except now he has a bad hip and
a daughter, and he seemed they were talking about the
(03:43):
similarity of the guy, and I was like, I like
that movie even better than Punch Drunk Glove, which was
one of my favorite movies, which you don't want us,
but I did say it was one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Did Flanagan make fun of you?
Speaker 7 (03:56):
So Flannagan wasn't in the room, Dave Wrath was and
and I'm saying there was, and they said, you know
that's who that guy is right there, and I was.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Like, God damn it, and I just walked out of there.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
I just laughed and I didn't go back in there,
and God damn it, and they laughed.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
That was such a fun time.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
It's so fun to Oh my god, meete and they're delightful.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
And that wasn't going to be a name droppy story.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Do you want me to but.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
You know my voice acting is in Punch Drunk Club.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh, yes, of course.
Speaker 6 (04:34):
I am the voice of one of the sisters.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
One of my proudest roles, which is completely Paul Thomas Anderson,
which is hey, will you go do this thing really quick.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
And I was like, oh, yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (04:44):
I do remember that. And that was way before I
was ever to meet you.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I know.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
I saw that in Austin and I knew it was you.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
No.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
Oh, I was such a mister show nerd. But when
I saw Paul's name, I think he's I don't know.
I just wanted to know who are any of these
people actually his real sisters?
Speaker 2 (05:14):
You know.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
I think it was just googling, if that's what we
did back then, finding out who was playing those roles.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And I saw your name.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Oh yeah, very proud.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Yeah, of course. I think that movie's great. I really,
I really like it.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
And it was really good.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
And Adam Sandler, it's the people go crazy about him
in uncut Gems, but it's like punch drunk Glove is
where he's really doing I know, different stuff.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
This is the conversation I was basically having, and it
just happened that one of the filmmakers was sitting there
and you don't have a beard, you have a beard.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Laugh.
Speaker 9 (05:59):
It's so good and it's such a it's such an
honest response where it's like because immediately the average person
would just be like, well, and it's like, no, that's
the best, funniest.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Yeah, way to handle it.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
It's great.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
And they gave David at a hard time and they
and they made they feel uncomfortable and they've left the
room and he's like.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh, that was awesome. Did you see how uncomfortable he
got home?
Speaker 7 (06:25):
And then the next show was that Dynasty and he
was with his sweet daughters and his daughter was like
hey at the end because they were saying, here's who
was on the show and everyone has to come out
again to do a bow.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I don't know why I think they stopped doing that. Yeah,
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 7 (06:46):
And his daughter was like, well, i'll do it.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'll just go out as you and I'll wear your clothes.
Speaker 7 (06:51):
She put on my hat and put on my sweatshirt
and it' said Chris Fairbanks. And she just came out
and she like, ye did something with her arms, like
she'd just only won't seen me once, but she knew
to be like I don't know, she did like a little.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Impression, which made me feel so great.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
That's like.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Girls grown up now.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
His daughters were in a movie recently together.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
Oh they did something and people liked it, like because
of course, I'm sure most people were like, oh, Nepple baby,
and then everyone's like, no, they're actually really funny.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Oh yeah, these kids were very comfortable in their own skin.
Speaker 7 (07:31):
And she's like, oh, I'll go out there, I'll put
on it was her idea. Yeah, I'm like, oh, that's great,
because I don't want to go back out there.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
I think I had had like a set that I
wasn't super excited about. Otherwise, you know, me, I'm all
catching flowers and doing boughs.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Blowing kisses, receiving hair kisses, mailing.
Speaker 7 (07:50):
Kisses, getting very sick from all these strangers dances. Yeah,
I can't think of what that is, but I daughters
are acting, yes, in something.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
It's and it's something that's very netflixy, it's very like
content content.
Speaker 6 (08:06):
And I saw that.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I saw the trailer for it, and I was like,
that looks funny, and then someone else was like, that's
actually really funny, doesn't suck. You know, there's some people
who are like I'm a NEPO baby, because I'm like,
but I have this opportunity because I live in LA
and I stayed in LA, and I'm trying to work
here and I'm doing all the same.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
And my dad was Philip seymar Hoffman, and I look
and sound exactly like him.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Of course people want to see me act.
Speaker 6 (08:34):
Yes, And that kid is so he's so good. He's
such a natural.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I didn't know.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
I watched that Saturday Night Live movie and I didn't
know the whole time. Oh yeah, he's like the producer
with Laurene Michaels that is the voice of reason. He
I'm like, that guy reminds me of Philip Samoar Hoffman.
And then at the end it's it's his kid. And
he was only in.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Like pizza movie, right, but so good. He's good. Yeah.
And so the nepotism thing, yeah, he grew up around it.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
He studied it. He's like, I wish my dad didn't.
I let me watch every movie he did.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And learn to be like him. Yep, because he was
probably a little kid.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
It's very sad. Yeah, I was affected by there's certain
deaths of people. There are complete strangers.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Oh that one got me, Yeah, because it's a sad one.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I got to meet Philip Seymour hoff In one time
because I did politically incorrect or whatever it was called
back when it was when it first started and I
was on it, I literally said one thing the entire time,
I know I should have panel. It was the panel
and it is Bill maher right, Oh yeah, it was
the like original and it was like it was me
(09:45):
Philip Seymour Hoffman, some Republican politician, and I can't fourth
I wouldn't.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
You've just made the most I would be so fucking nervous.
I can't believe it was you agreed to do it.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
It was very scary and I was like, oh, I'm
just a lump on a log. But then he was
talking about something about I got to say one statement
where I was like.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
But it was a joke, yeah, basically.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
But at the end Philip Zymore Huffan was incredibly lovely,
lovely to me, and I got to talk to him
because I of course knew who he was, and I
was like, I think it's place.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
I was like, this guy's the best and talked to
him and he was like totally and he said really
nice things to me, and he was like, I was like,
I'm so embarrassed. I didn't say a word. He goes
Muther did I He's like whatever, who cares. He's like no,

Yeah, how are you?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I'm really good?
Speaker 9 (12:58):
How are you?
Speaker 7 (12:59):
We are talking about things we talked about last time
when we did this over zoom five years.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Oh my gosh, I cannot believe. I was thinking about
that too.
Speaker 10 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
You were just getting your Director's Guild credential. I don't
know about guild, but what is it?
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Well? Just lie wait no, I got an MFA.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, and I had.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
This is what I remember about that.
Speaker 10 (13:24):
It was that I had shot my my like advanced film,
my thesis in Quarantine by myself with the actors and
I almost died, like just pure exertion.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
And at the time, I don't know that I knew
that anything.
Speaker 10 (13:40):
Was going to happen with it, because there was a
moment where I was like, oh, no, no one cares,
No one will ever care. And then and then it
started to pick up and get into festivals, and then
I had a really good run, and then we finished
that run with at the sci Fi Festival in Seattle,
we won the Audience Award and it was like, which
always feels like the real one? Sure you're so kind
(14:04):
because of I recently was having guilt about the amount
of things that I put you in and never showed you.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Oh I'm it's none In his business, it's the most
common thing ever to wait many men, especially when you're
used to all I've done, which it's commercial stuff.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's like, oh, maybe you never see it. Yeah, that's
a year later, and it's like I look like a
different person.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
But how good are those recent ones?
Speaker 10 (14:30):
Did anybody get a chance to see Chris starring in
three gorgeous spec commercials that are so funny and he
really steals the show.
Speaker 6 (14:39):
I got to, oh, I have not can you send
us those yes, I would love to see this.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, I really like the seventies.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, super one, super fun.
Speaker 10 (14:48):
Also the other Liqui Death, the other Liquid death one
that's simone director was you were so oh.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Yeah, yeah that was Let's get Chris's reel going, I
get right, that's what I gotta do.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Oh my god, did I already say this to you?
Speaker 11 (15:01):
Because when I came to your birthday, I had been
very late to my idea or plan that I was
going to, Like I wanted to get one of those
changing picture frames digital picture frames, and then put your
face in all.
Speaker 10 (15:16):
The things I'd make you act in in that so
it would be like changing. And I couldn't get it
together get one brick and mortar in time. So I
went to Staples and I was like, well, get a
plastic spindle like for like a TGIF top menu menu topic.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Whilch.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
You did give me nothing, no photos, And I was like,
oh that's nice. Someone gave me a picture frame I
had all.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Flowed apart because I tried to print them and they
looked terrible.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Well, it's funny that because that was my sister's idea
to have the races of Chris, my faces of different
ages on a stick for the photos so.
Speaker 10 (15:54):
Brilliant and it was, and then I realized I didn't
need to do what I had done because she did it.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
And then I just kind of left that plastic.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
You're so singing my tune right now, Like the intentions,
They're a great concept, very difficult execution.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
And then kind of like, well, at least now I
have a story.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yes, well, yes, and I.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Put photos in it. Yes, it's on display.
Speaker 6 (16:18):
Are they photos of Mazzarella sticks and stuff?
Speaker 7 (16:22):
They are different specials, Blowman onions, Porterhouse try are new?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yes, Caju Emily.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Do you say Emily Maya Mills because Emily Mills is
a name other people use, or is your full first name?
Speaker 6 (16:40):
Emily Maya the first one?
Speaker 10 (16:43):
So like I think it was a combination of realizing
that Emily Mills is a little mushy in.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
The mouth, like to me, it just followed more mushy
in the mouth. I don't know how.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
It's like too many consonants at once or something. So
it was that, and I think there was like a
knitwear company and a poet or something.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And I thought I'm gonna I'm wanna really stake my claim.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Yeah, it's funny. I'd never even realize. I always say
your full name.
Speaker 10 (17:10):
Yeah, it's one of those names that people say. All
three those are the names like that, right.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Yeah. The Maya really takes the mush out.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
It really blocks off the center. It like builds a
retaining wall to really get some space in there.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
It does, but it's a similar way Emily Maya mills.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
But it makes it all come together.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Yeah, really got some nice cadence there, it does.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
And I actually had never asked where Maya came from.
Speaker 10 (17:36):
I think my parents were hippies, and I was like,
I'm sure it was something cool, Yes, but all I
know is that, And maybe all they know is that
they were going to name my brother Maya.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I loves where it came from.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Is that a boy or girl name?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
No, he came out a boy.
Speaker 10 (17:53):
It was in the days when or they were sort
of hippies, so they didn't check or sure, sure, just
teach his own to you. Just zone cool thing about
that though, is that he my dad claimed he didn't
know where it came from, but they couldn't name him.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Because they didn't know he knew boy.
Speaker 10 (18:10):
They didn't have a name, and I guess he came
in late and was like, it's Dylan, And so my
brother's name was Dylan, and then for my dad was
always like, no, it wasn't Bob Dylan.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I don't know where it came from. I just kind
of thought of it.
Speaker 10 (18:23):
And then we realized that Dylan in a name book
means son of the way my dad and brother are.
Should have prefaced it that they're both surfers and like
that was never really known until I don't know, I
was like eight, my brother was ten, and we were like, what.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
The hell, Yeah, it's weird.
Speaker 7 (18:38):
When that happened, I was surfing, well almost drowning in
Hawaii and these guys swam out because it was dark
and they wanted to put glow in the dark hoop around.
This guy swam out and just put it around my
neck so people could seem to say because I was
flopping around. And they also later were like you should
get one of these. And it was a Saint Christopher necklace,
(19:02):
which is a saint that is in charge of a
lot of things rescue. I think I've seen them with
like firemen on them, but there's also a surf one
where it's like Saint Christopher watches over you while you're surfing.
So I'm like, oh, maybe I was supposed to surf
like your brother or.
Speaker 10 (19:22):
Maybe Sat watches over you while you're doing sexy things,
right surfing.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
And.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Christopher is real just a window for your.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
Yeah he's kind of a perf.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
Yeah, I just like watching people surf.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
How about you help people find things like Saint Anthony.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Like that you get into St.
Speaker 10 (19:49):
Anthony, Right, I never know where anything is same, same
or St. Francis d CC, which I always like because animals.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Right, little animal.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
Wait, so did you hear hippie parents raise through Catholic
or nearby Catholic.
Speaker 10 (20:07):
No.
Speaker 6 (20:07):
So what's crazy is.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
That I was raised like truly nothing, And when I
was a kid, it was like they were I think
they were could go maybe atheist. My mom was raised
like had a.
Speaker 10 (20:18):
Little bit of affection for the tradition of the church,
but it was like they're like, you figure it out.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:23):
So I would spend a sneak and spend the night
at my friend's house so that I could go to
Sunday school with them and go eat the Body of
Christ snack and like was like fascinated by all of it.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I was like, no, that's how I got into it.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
And then I ended up.
Speaker 10 (20:40):
I kind of dropped the thread on that ended up though,
going to a Catholic high school because my public middle
school was so San Francisco as a unified school.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
District at that time. Was I great badero.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
A little love that's such a good hat. Yeah?
Speaker 6 (20:57):
Yeah, what neighborhood was.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Your grammar school in Outer Richmond district? So that was
my middle school.
Speaker 10 (21:03):
I went to a private elementary, public middle and then
Catholic High School.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Wow, really made the round star of the sea.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
What Catholic high School?
Speaker 10 (21:13):
The high school start the sea had a great little
festival we used to go to and smooth when we
were like in sixth grade meet boys. I went to
Sagrahar Cathedral Preparatory High School.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Oh that is that seems like nuns would hit your
knuckles with a ruler.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
We actually got hit with a ruler.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We did for being left handed.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
No, and that's why you're such a great director today.
Speaker 10 (21:38):
That's why I'm such an ambidextros threat to a green
handled sitor.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
That's what I did.
Speaker 10 (21:47):
Yeah, it was wild, Like I did get there the
first day and I think on the application because I
kind of just like decided to go there because I
was like the public high school across the street while tempting,
like it is war zone and people didn't come out
the other side, and it just kind of tell and
so I went.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
But I was like I had to ask my mom,
like was I baptized? And she was like, I did
a little something in the hot tub.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
And was something We were all thinking the same thing.
Speaker 12 (22:20):
Yeah, just bless this baby, bless this joint, Like let's
chill out, can we please chill out a little dribble
of lukewarm.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
I was born at home, and the funniest thing about
that story is my mom saying that she was waiting
in the lukewarm hot tub that wasn't on, and that
my brother, who was for three years nine months at
the time, was massaging her shoulder.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't know why that's so funny to me, Like
the tiny hands massage.
Speaker 6 (22:50):
Just try to get in there and be a part
of things, and then.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
You shot out immediately. Your first experience was chlorine or
was it just regular water?
Speaker 1 (22:59):
I think it was water, But we came. I didn't
get born in the hot top, which I do regret.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, I thought, that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I wish, I really do. Know.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
It's like more living room, which doesn't seem like a
good plan because it's like that that shit gets everywhere.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
And it does.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
But you know that was Northern California in the seventies
was really doing something.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
Read is fucking specific doing it.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Like my mom's best friend Emily Whittlesey, who was my namesake, was.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
Always having everybody at the birth like I was at
was always I was at a bunch of birds.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
It's a reason to have a party, like tupperware or something.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Just joined together and celebrate. But also, did you ever
witness anybody eating the placenta? Oh no, I don't know,
because that was a real intense converse natural people thing.
Speaker 7 (23:52):
That's like Indiana Jones in the Temple at Doom colleyn
Shappy Dale.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah, that's scary. But what does it look like? It
has to look like it just.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Looks just like a cupcake, and it tastes like a cupcake.
It would be amazing, you don't know. I mean that's.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I grew up with. My best friends are Filipino and
like that was always the sort.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
Of trick that they would say and get which is
the pigs blood congealed pigs.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
But they'd be like it's chocolate meat.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Oh yeah, like like that pops up in the UK.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
But sage, yeah yeah, no, rough, no, why what's happening?
Get the get the pig back in here? Yes anytime, Emily.
You talked about like your childhood up and I get
(24:52):
so nostalgic for your childhood because I was just having
a parallel one in the farm version like you were
the San Francisco version. But like talking about the hot tub,
remember how those hot tubs used to be where they
were not built into the ground. They were tall, redwood. Yeah,
pots of hot water. Sure, like that's I would kill
to see an old fashioned hot tub again.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Me too, I actually really want. I've been sending them
to my mom, like.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
You shouldn't we any Airbnb and Big Bear will show
you a redwood box with a tub in it.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Yeah, And I still I just I don't know if
I'm like a germophobe.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
I'll be honest with you guys, please be I I
was in a hot tub that had moss and algae
and it just hadn't been cleaned, and I walked away
from that experience with prostatitis.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
A lifelong gift.
Speaker 6 (25:51):
Yes, hold on, prostatitis.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Should we back up?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, we've had We've got it happen quite a day.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Yeah, yeah we have.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
We had.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Well, I didn't do much.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
May Baby Sexy.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
We were we were.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
Who Canyon and Moore Park and the car next to
me was in the left turn lane and so when
that when they got their green arrow, he went and
I was telling Chris the story, and I went to
and just drove through a red light intersection.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
And everyone honked that person, and it was very shocking.
Karen's never that person very good until today today.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You're doing a lot at once.
Speaker 6 (26:35):
The beginning of my new life, we survived.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Which.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Happened.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
I had a car totaled that way, but I wasn't
in it. It was like, uh, when I first moved
to l A, I accidentally had like I went out
with someone from work and they didn't they like we
separated at the bar that they had parked in a
tandem swap behind my roommate and they never came back
to get their car.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
In the morning, my roommate like, need to go to work,
and I was like, oh shit, I'm sorry. Uh take
my car.
Speaker 10 (27:04):
She did, and like the one little kicker was that
she was the one person in the world that was
exclusively excluded from my insurance policy because we were like
too young to add other people like have that kind
of family money or whatever. So she told my car
and it was God forever and it was like my
(27:25):
before I moved here, I kind of spent a little
time saving up money and like working a lot, and
I kind of like went in hard on you guys
a Z twenty eight Camara.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Oh Woway and that was goodbye forever.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Is that an I roxy? What's an I roxy? I
roxy is a type?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yeah, yeah, but it's yeah. That one's also very specific.
This was a supersport twenty eight supersport.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
What color it was?
Speaker 10 (27:54):
That Chevy green, whereas my old boss called it the
Zacarmano math.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Dealer green, kind of light and metallic, a little metal
little sheen in there. It's a darker green. Darker te
tops Hello shit, okay.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Te tops when it's just there's a bar in the
middle and you just take these out and where do
you put You have to put them in a garage something.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
They have a little like uh like vertical shelf in
the back. Really yeah, wow, this thing was just you
gotta get it back on forever.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
I know, one day maybe that's my favorite video that
my phone shows me. Some guy looking at an old car.
It's like this, it's like the one I had when
I was a kid. And then his son hands him
the keys.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And then you know, there's a commercial video.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
There's just a very specific type of that.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
I said.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
It is old man being reunited with their first car
because their rich son bought them a refurbished orph track.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Down that original car. So watching an old guy tremble
and get.
Speaker 6 (29:02):
Sad and yeah, it's uh, that's very sweet, you.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Know, the old dad and son. Porn, emotional porn. I
use the word porn. I'm trying to make it a
more regular regular.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah it applies.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I'm pro sex industry, but I'm also pro just family.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
I tried to check We try to check out porn recently,
Like like Valentine's say, like.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Hey, what's happening important? This was my idea, like wouldn't
it be like is is porn still funny?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
And still it's not?
Speaker 13 (29:41):
Actually it's really not funny at all a lot of
spinning and just really yeah, weird stuff straight to it.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
There was like one that we found that was like, oh,
this isn't a pool with a lot of like blow
up toys.
Speaker 10 (29:56):
Still had i don't know, basic prison vibes, you know, yeah,
somehow like it was an indoor pool.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
You're just like, how did you make this sound fun?
You had all the blow up toys?
Speaker 10 (30:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:08):
Why are there bars on the windows at this pool?
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Exactly, what's sexy about that? I try to write a
joke about that, of like, and I'm sure this is
the oldest joke of all time, but it's just like
it's hard to watch porn sometimes because you can just
tell he doesn't love her, just something along those lines.
There's no way this isn't the oldest fucking joke in
(30:32):
the world.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
Right, which in very realistically always has take me out
of it. If it's a woman that's like, I don't
want to be here. This is terrible, and they're acting
like it's fun, I'm like, that's I don't.
Speaker 10 (30:46):
I don't like it now, which seems like most of it,
which is maybe why the successful ones are actually good actresses.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Yeah right, Yeah, you got to find the real life couples.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yeah, there you go. That's a weird Valentine's Day. Hell,
look at this. They lived down the street. And then
you get into this whole weird hot ub swinger lifestyle.
Speaker 6 (31:09):
Chris giving porn recommendations to people.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
What you want to do?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
But wait, I just realized that here's you do a lifestyle.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
You cannot easily escape.
Speaker 10 (31:20):
Yeah, you're gonna want to add like a nineteen eighty
Cadillacsville with the shimp.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, that was my first part, and a.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
White leather four Escort wagon and a Buick Skyhawk boring were.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Great bun sky Hawk, I mean it had Yeah, it
did have.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
A giant chrome buried on the side, did it? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (31:47):
What was the Skyhawk's shape?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
It was a compact with a unreasonably sporty headlight situation.
Speaker 7 (31:58):
Okay, they didn't pop up, and there were an angled
you know, a piece of plastic and they were sunken
in Like, oh, this baby might not just be four
going on three cylinders of power.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
It was just ugly. So I put flames. I put
a flame job on it night. It was white. Yeah,
there's the older woman that I bought it from.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
She said, I named this car Orville. I think because
it's white like a piece of popcorn.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Yea.
Speaker 7 (32:30):
And she asked me, when I please keep calling the
car Orville, and I'm like, yeah, whatever, lady. I'll be
damned if when I'm like the car wasn't starting, I'd
be like, come on, Orville. Really, I kept calling, Oh yes,
usually with I'm taking a nap, and then I'd get
it jump started. There was a lot of electronic issues
(32:52):
in Orville.
Speaker 10 (32:53):
Yeah, that was my uh Seville which had I loved
that car, but man I chose incorrectly.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Oh yeah, it's like an immediate immediately fell. It just shredded.
It was just like everything fell apart immediately. But it
had a CB radio.
Speaker 10 (33:10):
What it came stock, Well, I don't think it was
definitely after market, but it worked.
Speaker 13 (33:17):
Wow wow, so previous owner. Yeah, did they give you
a handle? No, they didn't give me a handle, but
I did. Like anytime I saw a truck on the freeway,
I was like, yeah, that was.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Charles Bone's teacher, but to a trucker.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
That's one of the voices I can do very specific
cartoon based impressions.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
It also sounded a little bit like the Clint Eastwood
Western kind of people to people about to have a duel.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah, I guys.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Then now it's going into a common do.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Just train the just train the Chris.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh god, I would love to get that gig. We're
dubbing old threes companies, some Westerns and do you have
anything for all of those? Come up? Okay, it's over,
let's stop, I'll stop.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Did you did the Seville? It's a Seville?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Right?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Did have a grill?
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Yeah? And it had had that two tone chop trunk
cho was like the sort of style.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
See, that's the kind of cars looking for. When I
left Montana to go become a comedian in Texas, I'm like, well,
I have to get a big car and put horns
on the hood. And I required to do that test
drove so many big boat white cars.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Uh, and it just didn't happened. But if I found
a civil oh man.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I love that.
Speaker 10 (35:04):
That's your like assimilating movies immediately, Boss Hoggett.
Speaker 7 (35:09):
Yeah, yeah, he was like, Hey, in my in my mind,
I would be welcome to town. Oh someone moved here.
Let's watch him drive into town.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Wall.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
He's a high roller. I mean, what are they saying
about it? He kills steer.
Speaker 7 (35:26):
If there was so many cars there that already had Longhorn.
That's the name of the football team, for God's sake.
So of course for Pete, the love of Pete, and
so it was. I would have been hacky.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
I would have been trying too hard.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Well with the ten gallon hat.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Yes, in the boots that I wore. Yeah, it's still
crazy that I even moved there. Where did you live
in San Francisco like full on city times?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
I yeah, we yeah, I grew up. I was. I
was born in that. I was on thirty seventh Avenue
and Gary Boulovar.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
That's so cool.
Speaker 10 (36:04):
And then we moved to as down the streets hands
and forty fifth and then around the corner to forty
fifth Hanza, so all in that neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (36:14):
Did you ever go to the Children's ferry Land in Oakland?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Did I? I don't know, maybe I didn't.
Speaker 6 (36:21):
It had like water.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
Fountains with they were lions heads and you stuck your
head in the lions I'm sorry, they were lions mouths
open and then the water fountain was inside, so it
looked like you were sticking your head.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
And yes, wait, this is like a core memory.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
Yees, whoa It was like a kid's zoo kind of
park thing, but it was like for little little kids
and they had animals and things to look at, but
not like rides or anything. And then like you'd go
when the somebody would read a book as everyone is
like around in a mini child's amphitheater.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
Like all that. Yes, remember that shit?
Speaker 10 (36:54):
Yeah, Like this is like something I feel like I've
thought I dreamed, like in the same ebit of that
giant diet, Like what is it a giant model of
the Bay Area?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Did you ever go on a field trip to that?
It was I think in the North Bay Center.
Speaker 10 (37:11):
Yeah, it was the whole entire Bay Area has an
architectural model and it was a whole room.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
That's that is that the.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Was it the what was that place? The Exploratorium?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Was it that the Exploratorium? No? But I, oh my god,
I love the Exploratorium so much.
Speaker 6 (37:34):
Remember the rock that you touched and it was like
is it wet or cold? You couldn't figure it out.
Speaker 10 (37:40):
Yes, there was the tactile dome, which was my favorite,
and I found out when I took my like nieces
and my niece nephew cousin these nephew and step children children,
can I get an ax that It's very scary because
some of some people couldn't handle it, But I loved
(38:00):
it because you would like be it would be all
black and they'd send children into this complete blackout like
crawl space and you would have to feel your way
through it and then you would actually have to go
down a slide into like bird seed, which was my favorite.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Similar fear factor it's a bug kid.
Speaker 10 (38:24):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (38:25):
It was very cool.
Speaker 4 (38:26):
It was like there was a violin in a box
that you could just draw the bow back and forth
and you were playing the violin.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 10 (38:35):
And there was like a room you could go in
and get like essentially sort of photographed to the wall
like your shadow like it would it would flash and
then your shape or your shadow would be cool.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
It sounds like early miow.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Wolf kind of because more interactive is in.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
Why am I always forgetting the town in New Mexico?
Speaker 1 (38:57):
That?
Speaker 2 (38:58):
Thank you?
Speaker 6 (38:59):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (38:59):
So it is like an art installation more than it
Like it's you walk into a kitchen that fully reminds
us of all of our grandmother's kitchens and they and
then you crawl into a dryer and that goes into
this room that's like a futuristic total recall.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Thing where they implant something in your head and then
you go through this other thing.
Speaker 7 (39:25):
It all follows a story that you're supposed to read
in the beginning, but I just wandered around because there
was kids everywhere.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
We did the story and we solved it.
Speaker 6 (39:34):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
Yes, it's kind of like a not a panic room.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
The room.
Speaker 10 (39:40):
It's a little bit like a mystery scavenger hunter. Like, yeah,
you're trying to solve a mystery. It's incredible, Like, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (39:48):
We got really brilliant that.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
I wish I had because it's I went through it
backwards basically, and I'm like, wait, this is the fish aquarium.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
You're in the fish aquarium with the neon plan.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yes, there's some really cool I love that.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
It's really cool. I think they open one in Denver.
That's big.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
I think it's speak there's one of the Vegas.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, and they have like comedy there. I was going
to perform there and then COVID.
Speaker 6 (40:13):
Happened and wowmever Covid.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
Yeah, remember that.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
The thing that started it off in my life.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
As I know it.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Wow, did we survive?
Speaker 6 (40:29):
We'll never know.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
I'll never know.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
Just let's just roll out all of these possibilities of
what's happening now.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Wait, so were you doing Oakland field trips from puttaluomas
where you were?
Speaker 10 (40:41):
Right?
Speaker 6 (40:41):
Yes, we got to do well.
Speaker 4 (40:43):
Like Children's fairy Land was a thing my parents brought
us to like on a weekend, so I don't think
our school would have gone to maybe, but there it
was for such young kids. But then Exploratorium was totally
a standard field trip. Another one that I love. In
our grammar school, we did this weird almost like small
(41:04):
time exchange program with a grammar school in Chinatown, so
we got to go there for Chinese New York, and
they showed us all the like different things that they
were giving each other, like boton rice candy, and like
here's the traditional gifts and things and oranges and all
the stuff.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
It was incredible.
Speaker 4 (41:26):
And then they came to our school and just ran
around in big empty fields of cows in them, and
we're like flipping out.
Speaker 6 (41:32):
Because we're like, oh, that's so cool.
Speaker 4 (41:34):
Our playground, like the jungle gym is here, and then
there's just this big empty field and then there's like
a fence and five horses and they're like, what, Yeah,
it's important.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Because timetime is dense. It's like dense city.
Speaker 6 (41:46):
And it was the it was the it'll take me
a second.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
It was like somebody park grammar school and it was
theyde Their playground was the basically like the fifth story
roof of this building. Oh so there was other taller
buildings all round it. So like when you played on
the playground, there was buildings all around you.
Speaker 6 (42:03):
It was like so city, city city.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (42:05):
I climbed up that quaint tower and I couldn't believe
looking out how many people's yards are the top of
their roofs and they're like.
Speaker 2 (42:16):
Working out. Yeah, it's and there's grass, and I'm like,
I want to live on a roo I want to
on a roof so cool.
Speaker 10 (42:23):
Boston has a lot of that too, actually, like a
kind of gardeny rooftop vibe, just because there's nowhere else
to get it.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
There's nowhere else to yell racist things. Oh no, that's
just why I've heard.
Speaker 4 (42:34):
I think they're showing up really well these lately, they've
been really showing up anti Ice Anti.
Speaker 2 (42:41):
I love it.
Speaker 7 (42:42):
Okay, Well, I won't base my knowledge of Boston from
comedians or from their talk about it twenty years ago.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
It's a different timet.
Speaker 10 (42:51):
My writing wrote up like really quick bio for me
one time, and that was like, Emily, you're up in
Sanrancisco latch he'd which basically been jumping out of a
lot of moving cars and a few small time games,
and then moved to Boston where she found out racism.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Was like, that's the most accurate thing I've ever seen.
So I got love and then I went and I was.
Speaker 4 (43:15):
Like, oh, there's nothing like the Montessory girl rage of
growing into the real world and being like I'm sorry,
no one is listening to me, Like I'm sorry, what
the fuck is this shit out here? Like so disappointing
to go to junior high and be like, oh, it
isn't like we're all equal and free to be you
(43:35):
and me.
Speaker 6 (43:35):
Shit, that's all a lie. This is all as patriarchal
as it can possibly be.
Speaker 7 (43:40):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think my nieces and nephew have
experienced a little bit of that, like real world shock
and having been Montsory kids.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, yeah, it's tough.
Speaker 10 (43:52):
It's rough, and also the time like that that blurb
is from a deck not to get into like sure,
but that's been a show that like is said in
nineteen ninety five, and it's kind of about like, you know,
growing up female in the South.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
Specifically because of who I was writing it with.
Speaker 10 (44:14):
But like then we just changed like a sentence yesterday
to for I can't remember why, but it was like
we changed it to a time when like a culturally
specific moment when we're like new.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Idea when girls thought they could grow up to be president.
Speaker 10 (44:31):
Like that one slight, like a tiny little bubble of time, Yeah,
just that window where things.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
It's like we were told, okay, we.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
Were sold a bill of goods with our fucking unisex
legos and our.
Speaker 6 (44:47):
Overalls and our like un around express yourself.
Speaker 4 (44:51):
And it's like you better stop doing that. In about
three years, it's about to get ugly.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
It's about to get up. Oh my gosh, I mean,
this is a terrible story. Should I say.
Speaker 10 (45:07):
To my mom's credit, like she's the ultimate like early
kind of non binary in a way, And she will
tell you, like she's been asked many times throughout her
life if she's less mean, and she's like I am
very heterosexual, Like she's just who she is, Like she
would wanted to work in architecture, and she put on
the suit and cut her hair and was like, this
is how I'm rolling, like just kind of not one
(45:32):
way or another. And I respect that, and I think
like that was I think a big tenet of you know,
her philosophy of raising us is.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
Just to be independent and independent minded.
Speaker 10 (45:44):
But when I was in middle school, I did get
my butt grabbed one day and the kid got in
trouble and it was a whole thing. And it was like,
after I had worn this really tiny white middles like
miniskirt to school.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
That I had been told not to and I guess
I maybe had agreed not to you. I don't know.
Maybe I don't know if I changed got and.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
You were it and then sure enough some kid grabbed you.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Yes, and I did get but I told you not
to wear that skirt all right? Now? Should I even
be like, It's like you kind of have to do
all the math on all of the like minuscule factors.
And that led to sort of saying that, and it's
(46:30):
I think a mistake.
Speaker 10 (46:31):
I think in retrospect, of course, I think she would
be like, I'm sorry I said that.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Sure, But that was where we were at.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
And it's reflective of where she came from. Right, Like,
she didn't, she didn't. She wasn't born in hippie and
she wasn't raised by hippie herself.
Speaker 10 (46:48):
Right.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
The hippie cultural movement was an intentional driving away from
that bullshit.
Speaker 6 (46:54):
Yes, so it doesn't just go away, right, I mean
it doesn't. Yeah, it's tricky, it's true.
Speaker 7 (47:02):
And.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Okay, I'm also getting study. But my niece was was born.
Speaker 10 (47:09):
Male, and I think my mom had the harder time
being which is crazy and she's totally an amazing, intelligent
person and good now, but I think for her she
was processing it. It was more most challenging for her
because I think she was a little bit like I
need to fucking pick.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
What is this?
Speaker 6 (47:29):
Yeah, oh, we.
Speaker 2 (47:30):
Don't have to pick anymore?
Speaker 10 (47:31):
What the.
Speaker 2 (47:34):
Yeah it's funny to like be jealous of kids things.
Speaker 6 (47:40):
Like, yeah, the freedom and the kind of Yeah it's
a new time.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Yeah, it's time.
Speaker 6 (47:46):
I didn't get to pick pick.
Speaker 4 (47:49):
Yeah, I had to go and like put some parts
of me aside to go into other parts of me
to get this fucking job done or whatever.
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yeah, it couldn't be both. Yeah, forbid. It was it
was a binary world and it is a good Yeah.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
There was a little time it was I just realized
it ended. Oh well, we don't know that it's waves.
Speaker 4 (48:10):
Yeah, it's yeah, until it's economy stops tumbling and we'll
see where.
Speaker 2 (48:15):
We Yeah, we're just having a bad couple of weeks exactly.
Speaker 10 (48:20):
I do feel that's the most comforting thought for me,
as like pendulum swing swing, always always.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
Oh yeah, this is the last desperate clawing of the
nineteen fifties.
Speaker 10 (48:33):
Yeah, can I tell you guys like something crazy? Now
I'm just like name checking people. We might need to
fix this later.
Speaker 2 (48:40):
No, No, I dropped names all the time.
Speaker 10 (48:42):
Okay, okay, but it's like okay. So I was in
a film festival recently and I was like excited. I
hadn't really I'd been busy and I hadn't really looked
into it.
Speaker 1 (48:53):
But as I was I was.
Speaker 10 (48:55):
Working on Forgive Me an Ai project, mainly because I
was like I want to know what this is sure,
like we like if if it really is coming or here,
like as a filmmaker, and as as just like peer's comments,
like what is what does that mean for us? So
that was my main curiosity. I have like my take
on it what it adds up to, and I don't
(49:16):
feel fearful. But Long and Short is like I kind
of came out of that and this film festival. The
slogan for was AI has no place in filmmaking, and
I was like, oh, that's funny because I was stepping
off of that other project and I was telling them like,
don't take it personally this slogan, like that's a broad statement, but.
Speaker 1 (49:32):
At least there's like a bespoke space for true like
you know, analog traditional filmmaking. I respect that. I think
that's great, but a bold statement. Then it turns out
someone's like are you still going to this festival? I
was like why, And it turns out that it's run
by Justine Bateman and she's like full pro doge, Like this.
Speaker 10 (49:59):
Person was sending me tweets about like we need statues
of Elon Musk and like.
Speaker 7 (50:06):
Yeah, what happened I swear a couple of years ago.
It's like here's a thinker. I haven't seen Justine Bateman
in years, and then something scared her and she went
kind of what happened?
Speaker 1 (50:20):
I don't know because it's like that you're also pro labor,
like I don't.
Speaker 9 (50:27):
It to me?
Speaker 4 (50:27):
Doesn't that feel like the influence of the internet where
older people like myself and anyone older than me, it's
like you're not used to the Internet. You open it up,
you start reading something, you take it for full credit,
Like there's not a lot of media analysis or any
of that. Like we just don't have that in our
system in the way that like generations younger do, And
(50:51):
so you can be like fully protesting for you know,
the Writer's Guild or whatever, and then suddenly read one
article and be like, actually, I'm the expert. And the
way this goes is doge is good for the for
the whatever fucking thing she's saying. It's like that just
is like you had one bad boyfriend or one weird
article or one like influencing voice.
Speaker 6 (51:13):
In your ear that was like this is actually how
it goes. Yeah, it's like, Okay, it was.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
A mean, mean for sure, but you me, yeah for
sure turned it all.
Speaker 6 (51:23):
Yeah, but I did well.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
I did end up going, And there's an interesting end
of that story.
Speaker 10 (51:28):
But one thing that caught me as I was trying
to figure out whether or not I was going to go,
because I was like consulting with different people, trying to
figure out.
Speaker 1 (51:35):
Like I was arguing with people in my head. I
was like, in my head, I'm going but I'm arguing
with people.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
I'm attacked.
Speaker 6 (51:42):
I'll say this, if they say this, I'll say this.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Yeah, And it feels like weird. And so I was
trying to sort it out.
Speaker 10 (51:48):
And then one thing I heard during that week was
that the dude who really like was the activist who
who front like led the march to villainize the term
d and villainI is the term critical race.
Speaker 1 (52:02):
Like that guy was a filled documentarian who couldn't get grants.
Speaker 10 (52:07):
Yeah, And I'm like, oh, ship, this is this is
all come back to just like movie like, is this
the epicenter because it's this intersection of ego and rejection?
Speaker 6 (52:17):
Yes, like every other fucking horrifying monster that's ever.
Speaker 7 (52:23):
I feel like their head physically, we are also at
the intersection of beagle and rejection.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
Damn it, I don't I'm.
Speaker 1 (52:30):
We were literally literally this is like, well they're.
Speaker 2 (52:34):
Not scooting where we're in the middle of an intersection.
Speaker 4 (52:39):
And also I wait, I already waited through a whole
light and couldn't go, So I assumed I would be
able to go on this one.
Speaker 10 (52:47):
Right, which rightfully, Yeah, maybe that's what that Oh good,
likely better.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
Yeah, we're gonna we're gonna clear out here trying to
fix it.
Speaker 10 (52:57):
You know what this is.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
This is Disney getting off a work track. They're all
coming out of the driveway down there. You guys have
anything to say about by her.
Speaker 6 (53:08):
Say it now, not get it ready, get it off
your chest.
Speaker 10 (53:13):
But the end of that story, like I did go,
and it started with a mixer at Codeac House, which
was like really amazing. Felt that made us feel I
met really amazing like other filmmakers from the moment from
that that moment where you're like, oh I am an artist,
I'm at Kodak House. And then they were giving us
like these little collectible film strips with like almost like
(53:36):
a postcard with the name of the festival and like
a frame from each film, so like if you collect
all four, you'd find your film frame.
Speaker 1 (53:43):
And it was like awesome, And she's walking around passing out,
being like did you get all you was? Your film
was wonderful?
Speaker 10 (53:49):
It wouldn't be Instantly I'm like, I will buy your
kletal silver, I will follow.
Speaker 2 (53:53):
You to the glass.
Speaker 1 (53:54):
You like you're expecting some like fidgety, you know, nervous person.
Speaker 10 (54:00):
It's like the coolest person in the room who was
definitely was an eighties icon.
Speaker 6 (54:04):
For this Mallori which we all launched. Mallory be so wwesome.
Speaker 1 (54:10):
Yes, she would have thought it would be Mallori.
Speaker 2 (54:12):
She was cool. It was real cool.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
No, But all that to say that that the festival itself,
like the quality of the films were amazing. You kind
of just the whole time.
Speaker 10 (54:21):
WI was like, why did you have to polit aside
like going into it, you kind of blew it. Yep,
that's unfortunate because in the end she brought us all
up on stage and gave us all twenty three hundred
books per film, and like gave the features all.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
Six grand Like it was like they were trying to
raise money and do a door share. It was very
hardest focused. It was so supportive, and I still remain
so like mixed about the whole experience.
Speaker 4 (54:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (54:48):
Did she also she a director too?
Speaker 1 (54:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (54:51):
Wow, she she had a couple of films in there,
and and I guess I will just say that there
were five slots for for features. Is why I sort
of connected the dot with the other DEI guy. There
were five slots for features, which is low for a festival,
and she had two features in the festival.
Speaker 1 (55:10):
So I go, did you make this too?
Speaker 10 (55:13):
Because you like, no one wanted to put it in
the other And I'm not saying bad or good. I
found them fascinating. They were abstract. I think she's finding
her voice as an artist. But she's also courting Trump
for the American Film Fund that she wants to start.
Speaker 1 (55:27):
With his money.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
And I'm like, oh, weird, what why?
Speaker 1 (55:33):
Sorry? Is this a political podcast? You guys?
Speaker 2 (55:36):
Oh, we always gabble. I do little to no research
and I just blurred things.
Speaker 4 (55:40):
We like to say what we think. Yeah, yeah, just
like any other eighties television star.
Speaker 1 (55:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (55:48):
Yes, we all get to.
Speaker 1 (55:49):
We all get to.
Speaker 10 (55:50):
I think it's like it's a bit of I think
libertarian adjacent where it's just like once you're like I
don't want any I don't owe anybody an explanation, then
you're kind of like free da I guess run down any.
Speaker 1 (56:06):
Whim.
Speaker 6 (56:07):
There's a there's a rebellion aspect to it.
Speaker 4 (56:10):
Yeah, fuck it, I don't care and I'm not going
to play by your rules, which is like there's lots
of reasons to have that feeling mm hmm, and yet
nazis like, and yet there is Actually it's not just
a general concept at a cocktail party anymore.
Speaker 6 (56:28):
It's like there's outside free thinking.
Speaker 1 (56:32):
You're you're getting snatched off the screen by mass stations.
Speaker 4 (56:36):
Like, yes, there's a reality to this that isn't your
cocktail our conceptual idea.
Speaker 6 (56:45):
Literally, people.
Speaker 4 (56:47):
Being disappeared by like what looks like just normal, normal citizens.
Speaker 6 (56:53):
Is like what the fuck?
Speaker 7 (56:56):
I guess a staggering number of people just think, oh,
that's made up. I haven't seen it on shown to me,
so I think it's made up.
Speaker 10 (57:05):
Yes, well that was what was so funny about people
acting like this past weekends paid protesters, where you're like,
who paid to make all of those nuancedaffs song?
Speaker 7 (57:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (57:16):
All that solid fucking comedy, so good.
Speaker 2 (57:22):
So many Wait, who was what was the paid protester thing?
I don't understand.
Speaker 6 (57:27):
I always say that.
Speaker 10 (57:28):
I always say that where it's like because people came
out this past weekend and protest and numbers and.
Speaker 2 (57:34):
The crisis actors, I still have those acting schools.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
Yeah exactly, they were all paid to be there.
Speaker 6 (57:40):
Oh you love to see some horses.
Speaker 1 (57:42):
In the equestrian area.
Speaker 7 (57:47):
Curious, that's that's something that would be investigated on valley heat.
Speaker 2 (57:53):
Yeah, there's a guy with.
Speaker 1 (57:55):
Horses just walking around.
Speaker 6 (57:59):
I do love this neighborhood.
Speaker 10 (58:01):
Yeah, the mast there was like a long time thing
going on with with protests against development down at the Pickwick,
which have we've failed to stop. So there's condos going
in down there, and for a long time I was like,
I mean, I think we can all fit. And then
now I see how many more units there will be done,
(58:22):
and you think about the horses.
Speaker 1 (58:25):
And the it's gonna be more. It's gonna be more,
was it?
Speaker 2 (58:31):
Like, so maybe it's a fun game car shapes under
car blankets. Yes, yes, like call little Delarean n here's blanket.
Speaker 10 (58:42):
Fun fact about the Riverside Drive down here, or at
least like our next door neighbor was born in that house.
Oh and so he's remembers seeing our house get built.
And he also remembers that before the one thirty four existed,
there was just Riverside Drive if you wanted to get
from downtown to the valley.
Speaker 1 (59:01):
So it was people just drove on it like it
was a freeway. Jesus, and.
Speaker 10 (59:07):
Also because it was a bit of society was a
little more lais fair about drinking and driving on this
turn right here, they would just stand out and watch
people crash.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
Into the tree all every Friday night. Friday night, they'd
just be crashing, crashed.
Speaker 4 (59:21):
The same thing happened my old house and like to
look a lake as adjacent had one of those huge
camphor trees in front of it, and there used to be,
uh they said, a kind of like teeky lounge type
bar up at the end up at the corner across
from Priscilla's right there, yeap, And so people would And
so when I lived there, it was dead end, dead end,
(59:43):
like you basically you drove in and had to go
drive back out. But at the time it was all open,
so people trying to get to pass Avenue from the
bar would be would jam down the street and just
drive straight into this tree. And it happened so often
that they had to like dead end the streets, so
people had to basically go out onto riverside and like
get pulled over by a cough if they were drunk driving.
Speaker 2 (01:00:05):
It's almost like maybe cut down. The tree did have
little white crosses around it were.
Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Cut on the drink he.
Speaker 6 (01:00:14):
Cut down.
Speaker 7 (01:00:16):
Yeah, no one's ever going to do that. But still
the cars, Yeah, no one's ever stopped drinking. Let's just
cut down all the trees that are next to streets.
Speaker 6 (01:00:27):
I feel like, do you guys remember Paul Kazowski in
the fake gallery?
Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
Yeah, oh my gosh, we have a piece of his
in our house.
Speaker 6 (01:00:33):
He's the best artist.
Speaker 4 (01:00:34):
But isn't that what looks like a fuse box thing
that's sitting there, something he would take and use and
make art. Yeah, Like, here's a hummingbird apartment complex.
Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
It does look like an apartment complex with a little elevator.
Check it now, should I steal it?
Speaker 1 (01:00:52):
Yeah? Do you have a bunch of hummingbirds?
Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
I have access.
Speaker 7 (01:00:56):
There's ones that trust me and want their sugar water
now ship and they will come knock on the window.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
Hey I want some sugar water.
Speaker 6 (01:01:07):
Yeah, I like it only mys this was not enough time.
Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
It wasn't enough time. Fun fact about Paul though, he
does have a club now in Syracuse.
Speaker 6 (01:01:15):
Really you should that would be amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:01:20):
Yes, thank you so much for having means.
Speaker 13 (01:01:23):

Speaker 8 (01:01:30):
