Karen and Chris welcome to Do you need a ride?
This is Chris.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgariff. We're coming up on
the Walgreens and Walgreens. I called Walgreens to their face. No,
Marshals and Walgreens are such different words.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yet and different stores.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
They're entirely different. But what were you going to say
the Marshals?

Speaker 5 (01:37):
Oh yeah, the Walgreens is no longer in question.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
But it is down the street if you need it.

Speaker 5 (01:44):
But yeah, I spent an hour that Marshalls came back
empty handed.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
I was just trying to buy time.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Did you get.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
Close to any purchases? Is there anything that really grabbed
your eye?

Speaker 5 (01:56):
I know, I really I started looking and had underwear
and socks. And that's when you know things.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Have gotten bad.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Did you even try the housewares?

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I did brows.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
There's some bath mats I eyeballed, and a pan that
looked pretty nice, but still no takers. No, I'm just
gonna go home and keep digging at the teflon with
my metal fork.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I think that's a great plan.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
Yeah, it's the reason I haven't been sixth and sixth grade.
Lots of teflon and fluoride coursing through my body.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
He eats pants and pink chips.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
But there was a sweet There's a girl that worked
there walking by another girl who was like a fifteen
sixteen year old girl that had tattoos her friend did,
and she had a sad look on her face. And
this girl was like, oh my god, you're so pretty.
I love your style. And that girl's like what And

(02:59):
then she walked away. And then that girl just looked
in the mirror and smiled and looked at herself and
it was really sweet. Oh and then moments later there
was an adult, adult man with his mom that maybe
had had a brain surgery or something.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
Something was different. Then, because of some reason, I don't know.
Can I get less specific?

Speaker 5 (03:27):
But she had all this stuff and they were heading
towards the checkout and he goes, did you remember the
kitchen sink?

Speaker 2 (03:33):
And then the mom was like, what did you say?
Did you what was that? Did you make a joke?

Speaker 5 (03:38):
And he's like yeah, and oh wow, Oh and there
they are, there they are. It's that's that's them right there.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
The priests had to give that Mercedes a mean stare.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, a dramatic pause of how dare you turn left
in front of me?

Speaker 5 (03:54):
I kind of agree with the the I backed that stare.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
You do Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
As a Mercedes lover, I'm going to say we all
make mistakes, right, Yes.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
You are. You are a real g wagon lady.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
We have been.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well. I'm excited we have our guest is in the car.
I can no longer wait.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
I know it's a tradition for podcasts to do a
little loud banter, but it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, start it.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
I will.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
You know today's guest from the clubs and colleges throughout
the country, everyone put your ears together for our friend,
Bridger Winecker.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
I'd rather not talk today, if that's okay.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Oh, it's fine. It's fine. The radio.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, I was having a nice time. I'll just look
out the window, will YouTube talk.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
I have said this before. Do I pronounce your name correctly?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
Perfectly?

Speaker 2 (04:48):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Anytime someone's coming up on my last name, I get
so nervous for them, right, just my heart is pounding
for them, because I think their heart is pounding, because
anytime I'm coming up on a difficult last name, I'm
freaking out.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Yeah, you're not even I do the thing where I
don't even try to sound it out. I just go
like this is impossible, and then just say like three
letters I see and make something.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Out or just kind of mumble it. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
I think I was borderline mumbling. But it's embarrassing because
this is your third time.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
Oh my god, you got it perfectly.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
And you're very close friends, and we're dear friends.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
We are dear friends.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
You gave me a snowboard I.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Did with I mean, have you ever used it?

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Well, Karen, I hate that you bring that up. I
did just recently reorganize my garage and it's on the
first shelf right next to the boots and bindings, so
it's now not you know, it's they're guilting man. So
maybe by winter I'll be able to get it together.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Oh did I give you boots too?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh? You gave me are the works?

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Are they baby blue boots?

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Oh, those baby boot blue boots. They're comfortable.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
I need to get into it. I need to get
onto it.

Speaker 5 (06:01):
It's just you know, I think the binding summer had
missing parts.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Oh well that might be true. Yeah, I wouldn't know
because I haven't tried to use them yet.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
I handed you thirty percent garbage. Oh the binary recycling.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Yeah, friendship.

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Yeah, here, you take this plastic. I don't know what
to do, so chuck it. Chuck it in the ocean.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
Well, if anyone, if there's ever an intruder in my garage,
they'll know that. Well, they'll think that they're messing with
the snowboarder. Right, that's right, that's all that matters.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
Danger.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Let's get out of here. This guy does five forties.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
And probably smokes weed.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
Yeah, unpredictable weed smoker, so prone to violence.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Chris.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
I was at that Marshall's, uh just half an hour ago,
and I went through your almost your exact cycle through
the store. They are having a clearance event, and there
was nothing for me right, and that.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Is where I went immediately, because you that's your ad marshals.
I do not expect to find a Ralph Lauren golf
polo for fifty dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
That's what they're asking.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
Oh yeah, it doesn't make the store. I always realize, Oh,
these are more expensive than any clothes I buy anywhere,
and they're not the sort of clothes I even like.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
Thank you polo should have been twenty nine to ninety nine.
We all know it, even the cashiers, and they put fifty,
not forty nine ninety nine fifty dollars.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Well, department stores have long been difficult for small men.
Up until maybe five to ten years ago, they only
did medium and larger and now they've got small size clothing,
but they're still for medium sized men.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
I think you.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Should wear an extra large size shirt all the time
as it kind of just to.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Jazz up your look.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
I'm willing to do it.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Kind of a wrap house look, street street rap house.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
I went in Michael's earlier and they're doing balloons now,
big sign, we have balloons. What I think it's a
big change for the store. They're really going hard on balloons.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
So what can you describe the types of balloons I
could buy at Michael's.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Well, how would you like a whole group of red
and white balloons for Valentine's Day?

Speaker 1 (08:21):
I couldn't imagine anything better.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
Your wedding colors, your purples, your lavenders, your light blues,
and are they.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
The classic cartoon balloon that's like narrow at the bottom and.

Speaker 4 (08:33):
That it's kind of an egg shape. We also have
my lars. Oh you'll get well, congrats it's a boy.
So that's something that everyone can look forward to on
their next trip to marsh or to Michael's. Marshall's and
Michael's they're always in the same parking lot with Home Goods.

(08:54):
Is that like a young foods thing where it's like
KFC and Taco Bell. It seems like it one conglomerate
that owns all of these kind of what would you
How would you describe these stores.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
This collection of bastion of dopamine?

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Running errands with Mom Butcher.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
How do you feel about Macha?

Speaker 4 (09:16):
I like Macha actually, okay. I love a strong grass flavor.
I think it can be served incorrectly with tea, any
tea when sweeteners put in. I'm off board and when
macha becomes sweet like that sweet grass is essentially what
you're drinking.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
And that's not for me.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
No, No, that sounds kind of horrifying.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
But I love I love a macha. You too? Not
on board?

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I've never really had it.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
I wonder what you'd think. Do you like green tea? No? Okay,
well then probably not.

Speaker 5 (09:48):
A good intro to. It might be those those little
ice cream balls from Trader Joe's that are macha. Oh,
because they're macha scream inside? What are they called?

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Mochi?

Speaker 2 (10:03):
Mochi? Thank yous? Are mochiese? Yes?

Speaker 5 (10:07):
It's terrific. It's a small, sweet tooth, fulfilling snack.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I feel like I'm talking to two people that don't
actually have sweet tooths in a real way.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
I love a sweet.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Oh that's right, I'm sorry, I'm I love a sweet.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
I'm sorry candy intensives on this podcast.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
I have a high bar. I won't eat any.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Sweet, not just anything.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Like a shevel garbage down my throats?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
Right, no high fruit, grossed corn syrup? You want? You
want granulated pure brown.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
You need to taste the grain. Yes, what are your
thoughts on the crumble cookie?

Speaker 1 (10:46):
I'm against thank you too wet. Finish your job.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Finish your job.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
God damn it.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Just the crumble cookie is unfinished.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Yeah, it's just a half assed cookie.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
Chris, have you had one?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I don't know that I have.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
Oh, stay away.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
They're very big and very dowey, very decorated.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
And they're very like it's it's corn flakes and very
Scrisby treats or whatever where you're like, there's a.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
Okay, you send them to people for like birthdays or
some celebration.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Let them know that you don't know their actual interests
and you.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Don't care about their mouth at all.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
And there was a like I think that people buy
franchises because like in Petaluma, all of a sudden there
was one and it was all anyone was talking.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Mm.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
It's like they take over small towns and it's like
the trend cookie.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
It almost feels like a pyramid scheme. Yeah, and now
they've got a Benson Boone cookie No, which has been
all the rage. Apparently it's just revolting the Benson Boone crumble.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Cookie filled with mustache hair.

Speaker 5 (11:53):
Benson Boone wears the tight one piece and sings you're at.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
It and does flips, he does do flat he's a flipper. First,
I would say.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
I, yeah, I didn't know who he was. I always
thought he was that guy that played Bob Dylan Oh.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Has been.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
He's got the same jip cut.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Yes, it's kind of like questionable facial hair, youth and
there's always some spandex or v neck shit involved.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yeah, but his music is like a jam band type
vibe that I can't get.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
On board with.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
I don't know what sort of music it is, but
I know it's bad. I've never heard it and I
don't need to.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, it's not it's just not for me.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Guys. It's really soulful.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
Either.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
I just keep hearing his name and it's almost like
he's the he's the latest, and people people hate, right.

Speaker 5 (12:49):
I mean, I've only it's not fair when I only
know him from memes of people.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
His worst moments, you know.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Yeah, I think you can make any judgment you want
based on any evidence you have.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I mean, it's the whole thing is he kind of
can't sing live.

Speaker 4 (13:09):
He's flipping.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Oh he's too busy.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
There was a.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Chip Pope and I had one fun fun fun or
fuck yeah fest whatever the one was here where they
had comedy and also music.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
There's a band called Refused that's.

Speaker 5 (13:25):
Like a hardcore band from some European land and I
remember them saying this, it's our first time in Los Angeles.
But they were The lead singer was in his fifties,
and they played last and really loud and fast, and
he climbed up on the scaffolding thirty feet in the air.

(13:45):
Oh boy, and did a giant backflip and landed on
his feet.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
And I still am not sure if I actually saw it.

Speaker 5 (13:54):
I was so because for some reason I knew his name,
maybe Chip or his age. Chip told me, I think,
but given his age older than me at the time, Wow,
and the type of band they are, like a punk
hardcore band. I he must have been a gymnast. I

(14:14):
will never forget that back.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, he could have easily died in front of all
of those people.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah right.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
There's a lot of stage backflips that happened, but usually
it's from someone that clearly looks like a gymnast. This
was just a skinny guy that knew he could do
this backflip. I was amazed.

Speaker 4 (14:32):
And yeah, have either of you ever done a flip
in the pool.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
In the pool, Oh, yeah, I've done. I used to
flip quite a bit.

Speaker 4 (14:41):
You flipped quite a bit?

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (14:43):
On the skateboard, Oh.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
No, snowboarding we oh. I.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
I would learn stuff on the trampoline and then build
a jump right emicks and then.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
And then I got hurt and started doing comedy. That's
what happened.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
And there in a flip.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Yeah, uh no, not I got hurt just hitting a
giant Volkswagen sized piece of ice.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah. And it was at the top of a volcano.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Mount Bachelor is an active volcano and there's a cone
up top from whenever it last erupted. And they wouldn't
come and get me because I was off the ski
area boundary.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
So what did you do?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
I crawled out, Oh.

Speaker 5 (15:33):
My god, and walked down the mountain and it was dark,
and it seems like there should have been a lawsuit.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
But I just seems like there should have been a death.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, you can't see a volcano.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
They knew I was up there. It was infuriating.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
But a friend picked me up, and wow, it was okay.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
A friend named Jesus.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
I had a broken ankle and a broken thumb.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Could you fucking walk on a broken ink.

Speaker 5 (16:01):
The snowboard boot was so tight I didn't know until
I took it off. I was worried about my knees,
which had been the wrong way and they were swollen,
but they were fine.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
My knees were great. They're still great to this day.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Thank God.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
About that ankle.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
But you do not want bad knees.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
No, I don't. It's been one of my biggest fear
of bad knees and bad back.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
No one, no one, that's the worst.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
How do you take care of the knees? There any
way to reinforce them?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
It's a complicated joint. I've never wanted to fiddle with them.
And uh, ankles they heal. My ankles are fine, but man,
that was a that was a bad day.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Oh God.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
And because I hurt my thumb, I couldn't use crutches,
so I was like, I'm not gonna be in a wheelchair.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
I just drove. I rode a bus.

Speaker 5 (16:51):
Home all the way from Van Oregon Wow to Montana.
And on the bus a guy that looked exactly like
Corbyn Burnson got on with these kids and it was
winter and none of them had jackets, and he kept
bragging about how they had a bad mother, and someone on.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
The bus called the cops.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
Really, and we made it to Montana and there was
a v formation of highway patrolmen.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh, and they got on.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
The bus and arrested the man for kidnapping a lot
and he got off and as they were taking him
off the bus, he's like, someone on this bus has
a big mouth. And the kids were crying. Oh, and
it was sad because they liked their dad. So I
was really on the fence.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
You've been an accessory to kidnapping Jesus Christ.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, that was all a twenty four hour period.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I feel like that was something in your life was
purging itself, I know. And every possible thing, unless you
are a compulsive liar, no, no, every possible thing happened
to you on that trip.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Everything I said it's true, except I can't prove that
bachelor is still an active Okay, that's.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
The piece you said with the most surety, with the
most conviction.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
There were times, though, where you're traversing the mountain and
you would just fall into a steam filled sinkhole surrounded
by volcanics. You get and your friends would have to
reach down and pull you out.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
No, Mount Bachelor is not considered an active.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Volcano, but it is a volcano.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Enough with the disinformation, Really, who said that?

Speaker 2 (18:27):
That's just AI?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Because AI?

Speaker 5 (18:30):
Yeah, boy, it used to be. Now I'm like, you.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
Should look it up again. And what if Chris beats AI?

Speaker 5 (18:39):
Yeah, well that means I should probably write my own scripts.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, I use it to write scrips. That was that joke.

Speaker 5 (18:50):
I'm on the fence about it lately. How do you
feel about AI Bridger?

Speaker 4 (18:57):
I think it's bad, Yes, I think that. You know,
it's largely garbage that we're all going to have to
we're going to be forced to deal with, right, which
is a real trap to be in. Yeah, exactly, there's
the whole carbon footprint thing. But then so it's literally
everything we do on the Internet. We're just burning the

(19:19):
world down watching YouTube and Netflix.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Yes, that's the that's the worst, most scary part because
as it becomes more used there, I don't think AI
could even predict it how.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Quickly it will be the destruction of our earth.

Speaker 5 (19:35):
But you can figure out a spreadsheet or something like
people that don't have a lot of money to pay.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
For certain services.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Now you can do that and and you know, put
together a nice resume. It's good for some people's that's
the only part having me teeter on the fence.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
It's good for.

Speaker 3 (19:55):
Some people, and it is convenient. And then it also
is rewriting its own code now and lying to people
when it asked. It's asked, are you rewriting your own code? Right?

Speaker 1 (20:05):
And it's lying.

Speaker 5 (20:07):
I read something where they tried to blackmail someone. They said, well,
so and so in HR it's cheating on their husband,
like they tried to accuse them. They made up a
lie about infidelity.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
The AI made up the lines. Was it in love
with someone in the office?

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah, I don't even think it was based in reality.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
It fully fabricated. Oh god, yeah no.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
I feel like if you just like imagine it as
more of like a word processor. Sure, if it's you're not,
you know, not creating original material from it, just creating
your I did use it once too. I needed to
write a very cold email to someone to decline uh
an invitation and I didn't feel like using my own

(20:54):
brain for it, right, and that that felt good. That
was a couple of years ago, and I thought, this
is justify I don't have to use any of my
spirit to tell this person I'm not doing this.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
That's a good idea because it's hard those things that
are hard to phrase, right, Well, you're just kind of like,
I don't want to sound like a dick, but this
is going to be a node.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
But I don't want them to be able to work
around like come later on there.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
Yeah, that's exactly what I've heard people using it for
where I get on board. But then I don't know
why that email uses thirty gallons?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Are they cooling the servers with sprinkler systems? Why so
much water?

Speaker 4 (21:33):
I think all tech, all of these big tech companies,
not just the AI but literally you know, like YouTube
houses every video ever made. Netflix does the same thing,
and that takes just a lot of electricity. Right, that's
just such a massive amount of whatever's being done, and
so they just dump the water all over it. I

(21:53):
hope it's just wet and wild.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
And I think it's there's some that are polluted because
they're talking about elon my building one of those rock centers,
and the people in the town are all like complaining.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Of they're being poisoned. Yeah, oh wow, are we headed
to the Tesla diner.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Now it'll be delicious. Is there really a Tesla diner?

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Oh my god, it opened yesterday. Where is it in Hollywood?
What does that mean? It means that currently in Hollywood
there's a restaurant full of goobers just ordering terrible food.
I saw a photo of the first day, and the
customers are exactly who you would picture.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's the building shaped like a giant silver dumpster. Yeah,
oh my goodness, we have.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
To go, and I know I want to see that.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Let's yell something out the window. Let's make a difference everything.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
And there's like instead of like club sandwiches, it's just batteries,
packs of batteries, all these different kinds of batteries and turtlenecks.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
That's that is what blew my mind watching footage of
Malibu fire clean up. The batteries literally consisted of many,
many what appeared to be double a battery.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Oh really yeah, Oh, I didn't realize that.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
And that's what they.

Speaker 5 (23:13):
What they had to dispose of the fear that everyone
had with electric cars. Oh, they don't know what to
do with the batteries. Apparently it is a situation, but
they showed them scraping them out of the bottom of
a burnt out Tesla car.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Or they were a bunch of little batteries. They looked
like flashlight batteries, hundreds of them, all on a panel.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Put them in a sock and uses as a weapon.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
Right, exactly for a late night intruder.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yeah, exactly, And I think we have the solution. What's
everyone panicking about?

Speaker 5 (23:47):
It is just put them in socks and sell them
at the Army Navy surplus stores next to the pepper spray.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Can I ask them about the Tesla Diner again?

Speaker 3 (23:58):
Do you think it's purely just to promotional weird promotional
things like why would Tesla serve.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Food because Elon's a loser? I guess it is. It
feels like a stunt.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Is it supposed to be like fancy food or just.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
It's like dinerish food there. I mean, I don't even
want to say this aloud, but they have an item
called epic bacon. Oh, it just makes me want to die.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
It's just it's just extra fat.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
Very thick.

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Yeah, who's it?

Speaker 3 (24:29):
Flappers, Jay Leno, Gary Owen, BT Kingsley.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Oh it looked like Ben Kingsley for a minute.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
The funniest man on the.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Planet, Leno's doing flappers.

Speaker 5 (24:41):
Yeah, yeah, he's still doing those jokes.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
He's I kind of want to watch him do stand up.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
I've always wanted to go to the Comedy and Magic
Club where I was booked this weekend and didn't open
the email.

Speaker 2 (24:56):
I haven't been there in twelve years.

Speaker 5 (24:58):
Chris, I know who opens emails on weekends, Desperadoes. But
he apparently performs her every Sunday and is funny and
good at stand up. But it's a lot of the
old material. It's not a lot of new takes on

(25:18):
current events. But I have heard from people that I
trust that he's actually made me laugh a lot. Yeah,
huh So it's interesting that you know he has this
whole ability outside of that show.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
I mean, I used to think he was funny when
his clips would come on on the original What You're doing, Sir,
he's twelve. It's truly a teen in a land Cruiser.
I always thought he was funny on the Comedy Central,
the original Haw Channel.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Remember when it was channel.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Oh yeah, I've never heard of the Hot Channel.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
The very first version of Comedy Central was called the
Haw Channel.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
That was the very I think that was when the
original Daily Show, when it was John Stewart and Patty
like roth Burrough or something.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
It was a two person news news show. I'll tell
you all about it.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Keep going keeping most.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Boring I've ever been in my life.

Speaker 4 (26:21):
Tell us about the opening credits.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
I've tried really hard to be more interesting than this.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Do you know when we're near a jail?

Speaker 1 (26:28):
We are right now?

Speaker 4 (26:29):
Yeah, there's like a secret jail right around here.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Uh oh is it this place right here?

Speaker 4 (26:34):
I think it might be this.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I mean it looks pretty, that's okay.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
I think maybe in this brown building, maybe it's more
of a holding for court. I don't know what's.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Last and fire headquarters.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
Yeah, I bet they have a jail in there.

Speaker 4 (26:45):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
They got somewhere to Tassia. In most police buildings.

Speaker 4 (26:49):
You got to take something. You have to have somewhere
in Burbank to jail people's Yeah, it's a jail right
next to the movie theater.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I mean, have any of you ever been to jail?

Speaker 1 (27:02):
No?

Speaker 4 (27:03):
No, have you ever visited someone in jail?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
No?

Speaker 4 (27:06):
No, I ever corresponded with someone in jail?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Uh no?

Speaker 2 (27:11):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
Oh you answer those questions, Bridger.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah, fine.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
I'm a jail house bride.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I knew it.

Speaker 4 (27:23):
I should get in touch with somebody in jail.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
There was this pen pal in the back of the
National Enquirer, which my aunts used to buy and give
to my My great aunts would get and then give
to my mom.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
There was a section where you could be pen pals
with uh bat boy with guys in jail.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
And I thought when I first read it, I was
literally like eight years old. I was like, that's so sad.
I should write letters to men in jail. It truly
was like, that would be nice. That's very sad that
there in jail.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
It's nice.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
It's very good of you.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Were just a third grader.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
They were looking forward for a child.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
See, that's the kind of thing I want to use
AI for. I don't want to write that letter, but
I do want to correspond.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
I don't want to hire an eight year old.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
I want to use AI to send loving letters to
everyone in prison.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Who wants a letter. Will send you one.

Speaker 5 (28:20):
Fire him off, and then you just watch the oceans
get smaller from from the moon's vantage plane.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's helping.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
We're helping people. Oh, someone explained it to me. The water.

Speaker 4 (28:35):
Yeah, I guess you could write a letter to like
a high profile prisoner.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Right should Night? Maybe? Yes?

Speaker 4 (28:40):
Shouldn't he did he die or get out?

Speaker 5 (28:44):
He I've heard is just in jail, not prison. He's
been in La County jail downtown Los Angeles for years.

Speaker 4 (28:56):
That's I don't know that was possible.

Speaker 5 (28:58):
Yeah, you mean there's a guy who asked for help
one night and he had his belongings and a Bible
with bookmarks in it, and he's like, I just got
out of jail, and can you please.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Help me pay my phone bill? And he was nice
and so I did, and it costs more than I
thought it would.

Speaker 5 (29:22):
But he told me he was in jail for three months,
and I'm like, I didn't know that you'd be in
jail that long. He's like, Suge Knight was in there
and he's really scary. Oh So I believe this guy
because he said I.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Would have thought he'd be in prison, but it was
Shoulde Knight and he everyone was scared of him and
he's in jail.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Huh.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
Yeah, Well, Suge Knight is a gangster first, I would say, yeah,
long before a music man, so it makes sense. And
he's really thriving in jail. That is kind of where
those people. I'm sure he has like a cartoon. We'll
set up somewhere where people have to walk up to
him and pay their respects.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
Somehow can opener good fellows?

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yeah, making the tomato sauce.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
Slicing up the garlic with a little razor.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Yeah, I wonder I don't. I didn't ask the guy
many questions.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Wow, how fascinating.

Speaker 5 (30:19):
Yeah, he could have been lying. I mean I paid
his phone bill and then he just said what a sucker.
Who knows, But I don't think so.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
The man who made you pay his phone bill said
what a sucker to you.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
After I left. This is a made up scenario. What
a sucker?

Speaker 5 (30:37):
And I have free free boost mobile phone bill at
zero balance.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
What a sucker. I'm being that guy.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
I've completely lost track of.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
You just said it so it sounded like you.

Speaker 2 (30:48):
I know, I should happened. I gotta get into character.
I gotta more act out.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Yeah, this next person is from Australia. And then I
just used my voice.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
You're normal talking voice of work.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
You're right, God, I've always been told this do accents
and impressions was the first thing I was.

Speaker 2 (31:10):
Told when I moved to Los Angeles. You got to
start doing impressions.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Have either of you seen twenty eight years later?

Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's very good.

Speaker 4 (31:18):
I had a good time. Yeah, I fell asleep during
the first third of it. Oh, but the ending of
this movie is one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
I loved the ending.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
I did too.

Speaker 5 (31:27):
Apparently that guy has a history of controversial endings.

Speaker 4 (31:32):
I don't know, Danny Boyle.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
Danny Boyle does weird things at the ends of movies.

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Is it dB back from the Ridge?

Speaker 5 (31:40):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, DB's back.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Maybe he never said something so cool.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
We right, I had all this time to think about it.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
I'm glad you like that ending because I liked it,
And as I liked it, I thought, well, I bet
the rest of the world doesn't like this weird ending.

Speaker 4 (31:57):
Yeah, it's pretty crazy.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
It was great.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
Don't you guys, dare say one detail about it?

Speaker 4 (32:03):
No, no, no, no, I knew. Karen, did you see a
movie over the weekend?

Speaker 3 (32:09):
I was supposed to go see Superman. Oh, that's right,
And then I loved it. I remembered that, as I
always will, I double booked and it was I said
I would go to someone's birthday party and then but
I also got a massage, and the massage I think
that people were running behind at the place because I
spent way way too long there. So by the time

(32:33):
I got home and I met up with our friend
zach Noyd Towers, I texted the birthday party was like
because it was a daytime party. Then I said to you, guys,
how late do you think you're going to go? Tell
and the guys like maybe.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
An hour more where I'm like, okay, just tell.

Speaker 4 (32:46):
Me it's over fine, yeah, maybe an hour.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
So anyhow, we could have actually gone to Superman at
the end of the day, but because Chris highly recommended it.
But look at what a great sign that is Auto
Service company.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Oh yeah, that's a nice level. That's real good yep,
simple bold minds.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
Is that almost looks fake?

Speaker 4 (33:11):
You mean, like new or something.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Yeah, it's just so perfectly vintage.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
Yeah yeah, yeah, they were going for a look for sure.
I think they put it on that wall and then
distressed it and.

Speaker 2 (33:21):
Made it look old.

Speaker 5 (33:22):
Think so yeah, because the auto on the sign on
the door rather brand new beautiful.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
H hmm.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Anyhow, that was a real ADHD moment right there.

Speaker 5 (33:33):
But yes, yes, where you start talk about it, getting
sidetracked by roadside graphic designed.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Burbank is gorgeous. I need to talk about it.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Well, right next to auto Zone, what was it called
auto whatever? There was the Chili Johns. Have you ever
been to that? Yes, it's like a chili diner, right, yes,
what do we think of that?

Speaker 1 (33:55):
It's cool.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
It's like very old in there, so it is like
it's in then.

Speaker 4 (34:00):
Have you gone No, I've always been curious.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
It's just a fun experience, like you eat chili. It's
not going to change your life. But there's like people
in there that are like, we're going here, so there's
a real I don't know, there's people are into the experience.
It's the original place with a ton of original fixtures
and stuff, and it's just hot dogs and chili.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
This sounds nice.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
It's pretty pretty delicious.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
I think Chili Jones. Yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
It's open like once a month or something.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
It's crazy. It's it's funny. We used to like drive
by and that was the big thing. If Chili John's
is open, you go there.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Wow, it's a pop up. I kind of want to go.

Speaker 5 (34:45):
Yeah, let's get ready, let's put on our oversized chili
and T shirts.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Hey Bridger, if you had to pick right now your
one favorite dining experience, it can be you like Jilli
John's or just fancy, what place would you pick?

Speaker 4 (35:03):
Like? Okay, I want to give a good answer to this.
I don't want to panic and just give the first
thing that comes to mind. Right, and I'm I'm still
already panicking. Keep flinking, keep fucking all.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Let's see, I'm going to apply a little more pressure.
You have thirty seconds.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
Oh god, and it has to be in Las Vegas.

Speaker 4 (35:23):
Good luck. I'm going to say. I guess it's hard
for me not to say Clark Street Diner. Yeah, because
it's just a lovely diner with good food and I'm
there constantly.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
How could I say that's not my favorite thing?

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Just how you're living your life? Same with I would
say Swingers equally.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
Oh yeah, just it's so comfortable.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, Chris, do you have an answer?

Speaker 5 (35:49):
I mean Swingers fifteen years ago, it's changed. I'm sorry,
Oh that's not true.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
What do you what's your complaint? Well?

Speaker 5 (35:59):
I used to get their Mediterranean platter and the falaffel
balls have very much.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Gone down a dry and a roundy Road.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
They're just a little dry balls, and they used to
be the kind of falaffel that made me.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Like falaffel again.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
Right for my mother's falaffel, which was nothing to write
home about, which would have been ridiculous because it was
my mother. I'd be riding just like, dear mom. Your
falaffel's terrible, so mean. Yeah, I don't know, it's just
not doesn't have the same I'm not a big swinger gyant.
Do you know who has a good falaffel?

Speaker 4 (36:40):
Is dune? You've ever been there? That's my other favorite
dining experiences. They're fried chicken dune. We're it's in atwater Village.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
I gotta branch.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Out, riddible.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Did I ever go there with you?

Speaker 4 (36:51):
I think we have you eat on the sidewalk.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
I hate that.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I hate it.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
God damn you from making me go there. I'm still
mad about it.

Speaker 4 (37:00):
To get over it, I won't back off.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
That was literally four years ago, you even seeing.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
It's you know what, if you're going to make everybody
sit outside, you better fucking balance those tables. You better
get those goddamn match books under there, and you better
make sure that every time anybody whispers toward that table
that they don't have to like fall off, it's so irritable.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Well, they have updated, they've kind of really committed to
the outside at this point. Do they build a riser, No,
but they've turned it into its own little pen that
you're in, which I don't. You know, I'm more of
someone who likes to eat on a table that's essentially
going to fall over at any point. You prefer that, Karen,
what's your dining destination?

Speaker 3 (37:46):
I mean Clark Street diner. I have to say, I
do love just the diner experience of that. It's kind
of easy and you don't have to I get really
stressed out about reservation me too, And I'm all because
I'm always late and I do things like make a
reservation at Pizzeria Moza and then when I get there,

(38:06):
they're like, you made the reservation at Osteria.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
Mood Yes, I done times. I didn't know. There's two locations, right,
one for Normy's right, Yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
I'd say fancy.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
I'd say casual Clark Street because it just the food
is so good.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
And then fancy any kind of Moza you can get into.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Sure, Yeah, I guess I would get like the best
sushi ever in Japan.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
Can I go to Japan?

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Sure, but I imagine.

Speaker 5 (38:38):
There's good If you go to sushi, it's it's gonna
be good sushi.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
You only get to go there for the hour you're eating, though,
right then you're transported back.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
So is that your same pick?

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yes? Yes, I mean if it's all paid for, it's
paid for.

Speaker 3 (38:53):
But you could spend like eight hours in Santa Monica
eating sushi.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Oh, you're right, not the same.

Speaker 5 (39:00):
You know what these days of flash freezing, it's I've
heard it's just frozen in time.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
It's just as fresh.

Speaker 4 (39:08):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
And when you're buy an ocean like our Pacific ocean.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Like our beautiful Pacific ocean.

Speaker 5 (39:15):
Yeah, the fishery eating isn't from out ten feet into
the water there, it's it's from all over. So it
really doesn't matter. They can get fish somewhere a day
of someone what's telling me about it?

Speaker 2 (39:28):
That work?

Speaker 4 (39:28):
There?

Speaker 2 (39:31):
No? This this person?

Speaker 5 (39:32):
Yeah, he said, he said, Shug Night makes the best
sushies flash frozen in.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Yeah, it's everyone loves him there.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
You can do it in a handheld cone, one of
those hand rolls, oh shug, but be careful, he might coke.

Speaker 4 (39:50):
You with a needle. Wasn't that a famous tree.

Speaker 5 (39:54):
Yeah, he's always spoken people's hypodermic.

Speaker 1 (39:59):
Needles, you said, oh shug.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Can I take a minute to shame the Los Angeles
city please?

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
Going back to Clark Street, Dina for just a minute, Karen.
You remember they used to have a bingo night on Thursdays,
the best run by this drag queen, miss Alane. We
had such a good time there, so fun. Nothing was
wrong about it, nothing nefarious, perfectly nice Thursday evening. La
City police came in and shut the whole thing down
and now it's gone forever, so insane, just ruined the

(40:31):
bingo community.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yeah, weird where they serve in moonshine.

Speaker 3 (40:36):
It was the most wholesome, like hour and a half
you would spend. It was just a bunch of bored
people who wanted to play bingo with other people.

Speaker 1 (40:46):
Like it was straight up like cruise ship bingo.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
But then in the middle she would lip sync, but
she would walk around. This was the only complaint I
have and that is why I called the cops, because
she would walk around. She would walk around the room
and silently lip sync at everybody, and of course it's
like a show. But she only had like a boom
box because it wasn't like a stereo system, so it
was literally like yeah, someone lipping at you, and then

(41:11):
you kind of had to like smile and give her
a dollar or whatever.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
It was very hard.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
The only thing that sells good lip syncing is being
out of earshot of what, you know, the zone at
which you would actually hear them.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Yeah, you have to.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
It has to seem like they really are singing to
get the full picture, right, but she'd be kind of
right up close.

Speaker 4 (41:32):
Like essentially in your ear.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
Yeah, well pretending tell me next.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
It was on the sidewalk. Why did they close it
down though?

Speaker 4 (41:41):
Because you have to get a license and that costs
ten grand or something.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Yeah, bingo licenses are wucking like lequer licenses, Give me
a break.

Speaker 1 (41:51):
Bengo license. But it did. I think that like every week.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
It seemed like more people went, and I was like,
there is a an ap a market for bingo in
Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (42:02):
But oh yeah, right there at Clark Street. Yeah, they've
just got to put down the ten grand.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Is that truly what it is?

Speaker 4 (42:09):
Yes, which I guess is difficult.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
Maybe it exactly right sponsors a banngo.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
N there we go exactly right. Step is the license.

Speaker 5 (42:20):
This might sound dumb bingo specific a gaming license.

Speaker 4 (42:25):
Well it must. Yeah, I bet it's like gaming license
or something, right.

Speaker 3 (42:28):
I mean that's so ridiculous how they figure out how
to get tax money from people.

Speaker 5 (42:34):
Yeah, every every Bingo night I've ever done is rogue
and under the radar.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
They never like get the mayor's approval.

Speaker 4 (42:43):
Well, it's because there's like max one hundred and fifty
dollars floating around. It's not like you talking about I
bet you, Oh.

Speaker 2 (42:52):
Money is being divvied out.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
I'm going to talk against my fellow man and say
either A there was a tourist who is Christian and
offended that was like no drag queens.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Or B there's a.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
Weird La trad family that was in there who was
like rich in trad and Christian and weird that was like,
we don't want this public. Oh boy, I mean that
place does feel like at a real Hank. Please go,
please keep going, Please drive your car.

Speaker 4 (43:22):
Struggling jis.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Everybody. I have to say though, I did that the
other day because I.

Speaker 3 (43:29):
Was watching pedestrians and I didn't watch the light turn
yellow and then red, and the car behind me started
honking like he was trying, like it was so dramatic
and so insane. Were because there was pedestrians, so I
was like waiting to see if they were going to
step in front of my car. I didn't want to
just talk. I left and this guy was like, it's

(43:52):
like it's over.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
Yeah, so many honks are people not seeing the pedestrians
that you're.

Speaker 4 (43:58):
Saying, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:00):
It's just one of life's classic misunderstandings.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
I will say there has been an epidemic in Los
Angeles of people not pulling into the intersection.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
For a left turn.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
Yes, you've got to get at least the nose of
the car in there.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Yeah, just so that may show an angled effort.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
It has to. It's actually safer to do it that way.

Speaker 4 (44:22):
Oh why is that I just made it up. Well,
then it's a fact.

Speaker 3 (44:27):
It felt right, I mean, because I think there's all
those people that are like, this is hard city driving
because it's people drive so fast and all the different things.
So I think people are like, oh, it'll be better
if I'm more cautious, and it's like it's actually not.

Speaker 5 (44:43):
Though.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
It's like the light turns, you go, You possess the intersection,
You make sure people can see you. You take your
left when you can, Like, you can't be a baby
about it.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
Yeah, it's trying to be too careful and then turning
things into a dangerous situation.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Yeah, white Lexus SUV, same every time.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Hmm. What part of the valley are we currently in?

Speaker 2 (45:07):
This is North Hollywood. We'll be coming up on the
uh haha cafe.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
The cafe is the ha ha, I think it is.

Speaker 5 (45:17):
It's the first place I did stand up in town.
I have strings had to be pulled.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Dave Wrath was involved.

Speaker 5 (45:25):
No, this was before when Dave Wrath was just a
door guy at the improv.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Guys, I really want to suggest, because we are in
the North Hollywood Arts District, that we go to the
Theater sixty eight so we can see the play I
am putin.

Speaker 2 (45:39):
I thought it said I am putent on a play.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
I am putin a play you missed.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
On by Oscar Putin.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
I am putting on a play Oscar Putten.

Speaker 5 (45:52):
I wish he was a playwright. And all he did
is changed his first name to Oscar.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Oscar.

Speaker 3 (45:59):
No relay and I don't take feedback.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
Well, yeah, this is here's the haha. It is a
comedy club. Wait is that no longer?

Speaker 1 (46:13):
It looks pretty closed.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Well, I someone went the other night.

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Though it's comedy.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
It really, no, it is.

Speaker 5 (46:24):
I noticed there's multiple comedy clubs that I never heard of,
which is weird because I live here.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
And I think they're still coming up.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
I think it all just But there's something called the
Comedy Chateau up here on the right that is a
full service comedy club.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
For French people only.

Speaker 5 (46:48):
Yes, it's a Yeah, it's like a chalet vibe. It's
a winter it looks it looks kind of cool. Actually,
it looks like a place kids would want to go
eat pizza.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Doesn't look like a chateau.

Speaker 5 (47:02):
No, it's it's a it's just a building.

Speaker 2 (47:06):
I don't it's used.

Speaker 5 (47:07):
I guess I don't remember, but we're about to see
it so we can all kind of praise the building
as we drive by. But it's just funny that there
are comedy clubs. I'm a comedian, I live here. I've
never been there.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
Has anyone had canes?

Speaker 4 (47:22):
I was just wondering the same thing. Are the chicken
fingers there any good? I don't.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
I feel like I've heard people act like they were
super stoked it opened, But I've never heard of people.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
I've never heard of anybody talk about any any of it.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Now that it is, I mean, right, it's called raising canes.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
It says raising Oh yeah, raising cane Sorry.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
I mean is Danzig the owner?

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Maybe people are scared to go there because of the intensity.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
It's just him and his mother. I don't know that.
I like that.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
They're just it's hell is not laughing matter. I'm sorry,
you know, I'm the more Christian in this car. Right,
it's it does surprise me that there's the ha ha Okay,
there we go, and then coming up on the right,
it's it is Shelley like, oh okay, it's this is

(48:20):
the comedy Chateau.

Speaker 1 (48:22):
No joke, comedy show.

Speaker 2 (48:23):
Look at it.

Speaker 5 (48:24):
It says the comedy Chateau. On the side, come support
live comedy.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
There's a cue, so get that cue code.

Speaker 5 (48:30):
There's parking. I feel like I want to get in
on that at the ground floor. What if I started
my own cool comedy club, What kind of building, what
country would it be from?

Speaker 2 (48:43):
It would be that building. I just got to get
those people out it's.

Speaker 1 (48:47):
A takeover to horror over.

Speaker 2 (48:49):
It's just a matter of writing the right letter.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
This is what I can't stand.

Speaker 2 (48:55):
Yeah, a hybrid Honda.

Speaker 1 (48:58):
Hybrid Honda not getting all oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:00):
There's still there's still yeah. It is the worst. It's
there's so many things.

Speaker 5 (49:06):
That I was petrified of breaking rules in like Driver's Head,
and one of them was what I see every day.
People diagonally driving through a parking lot. That's a shortcut to.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Get not go.

Speaker 5 (49:23):
Wait at an intersection at Costco where I am many mornings,
people speed through diagonally. That's I just can't believe it.
Have you not seen the film Red Asphalt?

Speaker 4 (49:39):
Remember that movie? They'd played a movie with.

Speaker 5 (49:42):
All these scenarios of kids running out chasing a ball
in Driver's Head, and it was from the sixties, and
there was blood and terrible accidents in it, and it.

Speaker 2 (49:53):
Was supposed to get you excited to drive.

Speaker 5 (49:57):
It really backfired and I got it first car, and
I didn't want to drive it. I thought a ball
would be bouncing in front of my car at any moment.

Speaker 4 (50:07):
It could. It's still could, yeah, it's still could.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
I'm just ready.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
We saw a similar film in like First or second grade,
and it was about like they were screaming the entire
time about not touching downed wires. Oh interesting, And it
was so goddamn specific and hilarious where I was just
like it went on and on and it would just
be a pole going down, the wires zapping around, the
kids running up to look, and.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Then they'd be like, freeze, never touch a downed wire.
Where it's like, what is this about?

Speaker 4 (50:38):
How often was that happening.

Speaker 1 (50:40):
Enough for them to show it at Wilson's school?

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (50:43):
And I remember someone coming to my school and giving
us a phone number and telling us to call before
you dig. Who keeps hitting underground lines.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
In this third grade class?

Speaker 5 (50:55):
Be sure to tell your mother when she's gardening, call
before you did. Utilities will come and prevent needless outages
and explosions.

Speaker 2 (51:04):
Thank you. I've been the sheriff kids. It's just the best.

Speaker 4 (51:11):
Did you have any like touring people come through your
elementary school, like the Yo Yo Man or various types?

Speaker 1 (51:18):
Did well? You answer first, Bridger.

Speaker 4 (51:20):
And we would have the We had the Yo Yo Man.
We had a something that was still confuses me to
this day. An Australian band called oz Static that all
wore kind of cat in the hat style hats and well,
as far as I know, didn't really play children's music,
but they came often. And then those two, and then
there was a guy who I think had climbed a

(51:42):
power pole and fallen off and had a horrible injury.
And so he would come around and I don't know
what his message.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
Was, dup touchdown lines. Was it my message?

Speaker 4 (51:52):
It may have been your miss my same one, But
those were like the repeating We.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Had missus to Williger who had a van and it
was filled with all little things. It was like mollusks
and animal stuff and you could this is a deer
tail or something like, and she would it was about
the Sonoma coastline. So she would be like, this is
a this kind of deer that is in the dunes

(52:21):
out at this beach, and this is the Abaloni that
you can find.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
And she basically would show you all the stuff.

Speaker 3 (52:27):
And she had this blue van and she would open
up the doors and all the stuff was like in
the doors as a display like taxidermy. No sorry, well
it was more like nothing dead. It was like an
abaloney shower. But she would like have a you know,
the cottontailed deer was painted on the inside of the
van door or whatever, and she was like this kindly

(52:49):
old lady that wore a big sun hat.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
Missuster Williger.

Speaker 2 (52:52):
That's a good memory.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Yeah, it was lovely.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
That reminds me.

Speaker 5 (52:56):
There's a woman in my town, Doocy Hobby, and she
was art teacher, and she would she was mobile, and
she'd go to every school. She'd show up at your school, elementary,
middle into high school. Deucy was there. It doesn't matter
what school you went to. She'd show up with supplies.
She knew everything and was really a big influence on me.

(53:19):
That's one of the teachers I think about and I'm like,
I wish I could have thanked her later, missus Deucy.

Speaker 2 (53:25):
Yeah, she had tight, curly like Bob Ross hair.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
She had it all And was she an art teacher.

Speaker 5 (53:31):
Yeah yeah, but I feel like she didn't work for
any of the schools.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
She's just like freelance, like I'm doing it for the
love of the kids.

Speaker 1 (53:40):
Sneak.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Yeah, all the supplies and a kerchief at the end
of a stick.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
Amazing.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
She was great. Yeah. I think my school had the
power team multiple times, which is that. Yes, I think
I've talked about this before.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
They were like bodybuilders and next like Ana football players
that wasn't around yet. But they were musclemen that would
rip bibles and they would burn the flag and rip
bibles until you go to church. Uh, phone books, phone

(54:17):
using the power of the Lord and certainly not just
their sheer muscles and uh. And then they'd give a
little scripture and everyone kind of made fun of it
because Missoula, Montana is not the most church riddle Christian town.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
People just kind of are apathetically agnostic, you know, so
I don't know why.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
And it was a public school.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Yeah, you would think that's like a.

Speaker 3 (54:45):
Agenda, some principles agendas, right, why would.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
How do we deal with the smoking across the street
of Well, that's send the power team, let's talk about
fitness and Jesus.

Speaker 3 (55:00):
They'll rip a cart and cigarettes and habit and no
one will smoke again.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Yeah, it's it's weird. I don't I don't think. I
think the Nitty Gritty Dirt band played at my end.

Speaker 4 (55:15):
What is happening in your school district?

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Yeah, it's I mean we took whatever we could get.

Speaker 5 (55:20):
Yeah, Nitty Gritty's band, their vand broke down near the
school and.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
They needed a gig. I don't know, but I'm pretty
sure Nitty's.

Speaker 4 (55:31):
I worked with the daughter of one of the people
in that band.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Did you in that same band?

Speaker 3 (55:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (55:36):
And the Nitty Gritty Band are at the Apple Store.

Speaker 2 (55:39):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
Fascinating.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
I mean, here's what's fascinating that that this podcast is over.
It feels like we've only been doing this for fifteen minutes.

Speaker 2 (55:48):
I bet it was one of our longer episodes.

Speaker 4 (55:51):
Yeah. Can I promote my live show?

Speaker 3 (55:53):
I mean you should really just take about five solid
minutes and just take the next.

Speaker 4 (55:57):

Speaker 2 (56:00):

Speaker 2 (56:17):
That sounds great. I want to go, well, Chris, I
know what you're gonna say.

Speaker 5 (56:24):
If I'm not sitting in the audience helping in the
green room, and it's really hard to watch a show
from back there.

Speaker 4 (56:30):
It really is. They need to do something.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
I know.

Speaker 5 (56:32):
I offered to cut a hole in the wall where
the men can see it all because I am tired
of peeking through that Parkies hole.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Nothing patriotic about this hole glory. I really do want it.

Speaker 5 (56:52):
There's so many times I'm there on a show and
I want to watch the show. I'm not complaining about
that wonderful theater.
