Ladies and gentlemen, we have a treat for you today.
I feel like we've been getting really good feedback from
this twenty three question situation. People dig the deep dive.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
They really do, and it is actually really interesting. Because
we're on strike and we shan't discuss the show that
we shan't discuss, people are getting to talk about things
and like be with us in ways that are so
much more personal that aren't just yeah, well that scene
was really interesting because we were walking through the blah blah.

(00:57):
It's like our fans are getting to know are humans
and the way we know them.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
Dude, I'm learning things.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
There's some things where I'm like, wait a second, We've
all known each other for twenty years and I never
knew this about you. How did I not know this.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
He's known this boy like forever since he was a baby,
practical teenager. He wasn't a teenager when we met him.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
He was like he wasn't, but he has perpetual baby
face like Antoine, So he really he could play a
teenager for a long long time because he's still.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
He's getting a little bit of pepper in that handsome hair.
Now we have to bring in the lovely Stephen COLLETTI. Steven,
we're talking about you.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
We do sound like the witches and hocus pokes.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
We are.

Speaker 7 (01:46):
We are joking about how young you look, you bastard,
just young and fresh.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I was just picking white hairs out of my beard
before this, mede the extra fifteen.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
Minutes leave them there? Where are you right now? I
am up in my little nook office here at my
in my house. So you are you're like a man witch.
You're in an attict.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I am in an addict. It's actually it's this is
an old like ranch hands quarters and down below was
where they stables, where the horses were, and so that
it's very like low ceilings and as you could see,
all the all the like fixtures and stuff are super old.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
This house is like one hundred years old, but I
love it. Oh my god, how cool is there a
ghost Stevid?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
You know, when I first moved in, I was expecting one,
but we haven't seen a ghost just yet, or we
haven't experienced one, and not just scene, but just any
sort of interaction unfortunately, which I would be all about it.
I'd be like, let's let's have a little like, let's
have a spooky viob I did. I did have one
just recently in France though. I was staying at an
apartment and in the middle of the night, there are

(03:03):
all sorts of weird noises and then this window.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Just goes.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
That I had shut and locked, and I was like,
I was like, there we go. There's a little ghost experience.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Oh my god. It means the ghosts are happy you're
in that house. You're welcome there, They're saying hello. I
like that. I'll take that. I appreciate that thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
we'll see.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
We were just talking about all of our wild Wilmington hauntings,
so this feels very appropriate.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Oh well, like so, so I never experienced Hillary You're
Halloween party, but I heard that you had some pretty
killer just like Barn burners correct.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, yeah, I either do nothing or I go real hard.
I don't know, like a medium. And so I've taken
all this time off between those Wilmington parties and now
and now I'm throwing the Haunted House. I guess when
this airs, I will have already thrown the Haunted House
for the middle school. So I'm trying not to go
full like Wilmington crazy on thirteen year.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
Old Why didn't you have Did you have a fortune
teller that would freak people out?

Speaker 2 (04:09):
What was the story on, dude, I'm remembering something like this.
We had someone reading poems that kept giving everyone really
depressing fortunes, Like she would tell all the girls, like
your boyfriend's cheating on you, like you guys are going
to break up. Everybody left in tears. It was hilarious.
That's great, that's great.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I love that.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Well.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Well, so we're not going to ask you about your
future today, Stephen. We're going to ask you about your
past and all your deepest Little boy Joy's going to
join us in just a minute. But yeah, this twenty
three questions thing while we're on strike is a great
opportunity to get to know the people we love better.
As supposed to talking about storyline. We're just going to

(04:48):
talk about you today, everything about you, no pressure.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
So sadly you never got to have a rager for
Halloween and Hillary's with us. But I mean, there was
another tradition of hers that like long surpassed even the
Halloween parties. She had this book in her house and
then it was the Proost questionnaire, and you know they
do it in like the back of Vanity Fair with
people whatever. And when we were trying to figure out

(05:16):
how we could hang out with all of our favorite
friends and not talk about the job we're not allowed
to talk about, this felt like a very cool way
to do it. So we're going to ask you twenty
three questions and are in the hot seat in the
Hoazi bro, Are you nervous?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
I sure, hope.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
So I'm good.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
You know, I had a couple of cops to coffee
this morning, so there was a there was a jitter
early on when we were when we were first about
to jump on. But now we've we've settled in, so
we're good. Okay, we're okay, but I know I'm gonna
get nervous momentarily. Steven Darling, Hello there, Yes, fire away.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Speaker 1 (05:58):
This is this is the first question.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Just fuzzy, we'll go dark later. Don't worry, just yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Just slide, okay, right on in with this. I think,
oh man, I could go, I could go food and
it would be my mom's bolonnaise.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Would be an idea of perfect happiness.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Also, getting buried in the sand by my nieces on
a beach that is a day well spent and watching
them laugh at me as I suffer.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
How old are they?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
So I have three nieces? They are let's see here,
we got like eight, six and four, and then all
those as well, who's too?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Those are the ages where they still think adults are
like gods.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
You know, wow, it's incredible how much how much they
absorb and how much they remember. So, you know, it
took me with the first two, like a couple jokes
or things that I would play around with, I was like,
oh no, don't know, like this this could be a
I could be teaching them a bad lesson, or they

(07:05):
could be breaking too much of a of a rule
with mom and Dad that I am influencing them on.
So I had to kind of be like, all right,
we got to be very careful with what we do
and what we say, and they like their ability to
retain Like if you promise something like you bet, you bet,
you better come through on that because they're going to
remember that until the end of time. That was that
was something that really shocked me. So they are, Yeah,

(07:28):
they are my my favorite humans on this planet.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
So maybe that's such like a swoon worthy answer. Like
imagine being on the beach and seeing Stephen Colletti with
three little girls, like please with him. It's like a
calendar Steven. Yeah, I'll provide a photo.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Uh this do you guys? What do you guys want
to let people know that I'm on You could just
put this one, which is my whole body buried in
the sand and just my head sticking out with one
of my head shot. Yes, that's exactly.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
All right.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
Our next question for you is what is your greatest fear?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Yeah, so I feel like there's a couple of ways
you can go with this, because you know, you could
talk about like a way you fear of death, but
I don't fear death necessarily, but like maybe dying a
certain way, but it's not I don't want to go
it's not really that I think more it's it's it
sounds really cheesy, but it's it's not being able to
provide for my family.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
It's been something.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
That's something that has haunted me. I feel like not
so much now, but in my twenties, especially embarking on
the entertainment industry, where the lack of security is is
you know, very very present. But you know, thankfully over years.
Wild Look, we understand, as we've all been on strike
for a couple of months now, you could not work

(08:49):
another day in this business beginning tomorrow. But you I
have learned along the way that there's you know, there's
security and kind of the people you surround yourself and
the people that you meet along the way, and the
jobs that you've done, and then you know, being able
to go back and and and it work with people again.
So I that's kind of settled with me. But it's
still I don't have a family yet, so I'm still like,

(09:10):
it's you know, we're we're, we're it remains to be seen,
but we're doing okay.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
So it's it's all right, No, that's a very real
I mean, that's exactly why we're on strikes. People used
to be able to provide for their families, and now
you have to live with that anxiety. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
The studios have gotten away with h you know, the
there the contracts and the streaming and all that for
far too long and have not made it sustainable for.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
A lot of people.

Speaker 1 (09:35):
So it is, you know, wild brutal right now, it's
it's a necessary evil.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
Yeah, yeah, it's an important fight.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Yeah mmmm okay.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Third question, if you could be the best, If you
could be the best in the world at something, what
would it be?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (09:53):
Boy, would be the best surfer?

Speaker 2 (09:58):
Daniel said something about like underwater diving or somewhere. Yeah,
she did.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
You're a laguna beach boy.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
What do you got for a Steven oh Man?

Speaker 3 (10:10):
When I asked you that question, I want to know
what the answer is that you are in the world.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Now, you know.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
It's because I don't, like, I don't know what my
answer would be for this one.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
But we're all leaning in. Look at all of us.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh my gosh, if I could be the best at something, man,
I honestly I wish I had like a juicy answer
for you guys, But I honestly I think of just
our profession and I think of storytelling. I feel like.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
We all were waiting for you to say something perverted.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Steven, look at everybody's face right now, I'm like, like blushing.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm not exactly sure we why you guys are thinking
that that's where I'm going, but no, I to I
feel like sometimes I struggle with There's a lot that
goes on up here, and I think the way I
am able to express that is has always been a
personal struggle. So I think being able to with with uh,

(11:14):
you know, precision and conciseness, be able to tell stories
and dictate truly like I think what's on my mind
because I get I get moving really really quickly. So
I honestly it kind of in a simple way, it
would be storytelling.

Speaker 5 (11:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
I wish I was the best in the world. I
wish I was freaking christuffva Noel and for crying out
loud like I wish I could. That would be I
would be very happy.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
In that way. So it's we're going to keep it there.
Sorry to disappoint, I'm not going to. I'm proud of
you for being so mature while I sit here in immaturity.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Well, the next question gives you a second shot.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Hell yeah, listen, I get to ask a very immature
question right now, because question be four is what's the
weirdest item you keep by your bed?

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Well, well, I have a a remote control that that
it's you know, you can choose how soft or hard
you want your bed to be. So that is that
is a weird item. I'm thinking of.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Other than that, it's a cool feature. How soft or
hard do you keep your bed stem? It's pretty firm.
It's pretty firm.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
We can we could go up to one hundred, and
we we got to keep it, you know, ninety two
one hundred. Sometimes it deflates, you know, and it gets
down that, you know, and and all of a sudden,
we're sitting at like a sixty or or a seventy.
We're like, you know what we got, We've gotta go
a little firmer. So so we brack that up. But
I keep my room's pretty tidy. There's not a there's

(12:48):
not a whole lot of stuff going on in my
you know, as in my bedroom as far as like
chot skis or any sort of.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like little focused environment.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess so, yeah, okay, so that's
that's what.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
Yeah, we'll get that a firmness adjuster.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Boy, if you if you were to asked me when
I was eighteen years old, I feel like I would
have a few more.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
Well, don't blame us, we didn't write these, Okay. Next one,
h which living person do you most admire?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I would say my my my older brother and my
older sister. I'm going to both of them for very
different reasons. But I look up to my brother and
sister quite a bit, and they've kept me on a
good path my whole life. So you know, my brother
has been somebody who is you know, he's gone about
life in a very strategic way and the right way

(13:51):
as far as you know. He's gone to college, he's
climbed the corporate ladder. He's a successful man now, and
he makes very smart, calculated decisions, not too much risk, right,
And I admire that because I get, you know, I'm
free spirit and I'm running around with my head cut off,
so he kind of he would center me. And then
my sister is just somebody who has tackled so much

(14:11):
in life. I mean, she's got four kids, she runs
marathons like she's run like fifty fifty plus marathons. She
just ran a Ultra marathon two weeks ago, which is
one hundred miles, and she ran it in sixteen hours.
And she got her thinking about the biology of this.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
I'm given birth twice and I know what happens to
a bladder and running after I know children seems like not.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Not She's a machine. She's an absolute machine who is
not not not real. So yeah, and so she does
that with her four children. She also is she she
has a full time job as well, and she like
you just she's somebody off Like you want something done,
you give it to her. It's like you know, when
you it's like saying, if you want something done, ask

(14:58):
a busy person, right, And she is one that like
no matter, she's the busiest person I know. But she's
the quickest to respond to me. It was something that
I might need.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
She's incredible. That's so nice. What do you think when
you went into entertainment?

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh yeah, they were they were like, uh, well, so
my parents wanted two kids and they got three and born.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Did I make them pair?

Speaker 3 (15:22):
Oh honey, they.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Wanted third third child for sac Oh yeah, it's okay now,
but do you know this is funny. I'll tell you
guys this. I don't know why, and I'm actually they
they never really have an answer for me. But at
like thirteen years old, my parents sat me down and
they're like, you know you you were like we weren't
going to have you, and I great question. I remember

(15:49):
sitting there going like why am I being told?

Speaker 7 (15:52):
This?

Speaker 1 (15:53):
Is like like, hey, like you know is stay in
state for tuition?

Speaker 5 (15:57):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (15:57):
Don't you dare fu Cup? Definitely don't like going to
the internet, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Don't go into entertainment right were you were?

Speaker 5 (16:03):
You sort of like misfit and they felt like they
needed to instill in you a gratitude for your life
and circumstances.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
That's so dard it is. But I don't know.

Speaker 5 (16:12):
Parents are grasping its straws all the time.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, yeah, correct. I feel like after my high school
years I could see that. But this was pre high
school and I just got into good trouble.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I like might have like ventured off our, you know,
too far into the neighborhood and stuff like that, but
I wasn't. I wasn't you know. I think I took it.
I stole a key chain one time from the Blockbuster
when I was like six years old. But that was like,
so that was that's it. You know, I wasn't doing
too much, but they just felt the need to tell
me that. And I'm still trying to get to the

(16:42):
bottom of exactly why. But I think it's absolutely hilarious.

Speaker 5 (16:47):
I feel like you need to make that phone call
and then call us back and let us know what
the end.

Speaker 8 (16:51):
Yeah, show them, showed them well with this precious life
of yours.

Speaker 3 (17:05):
Question six, what is your greatest extravagance?

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Oh, I spend so much money on golf. It's it's ridiculous.
I'm I'm a golfing nerd over here. You can get Yeah,
you can spend a lot of money on you know,
the the tools of the trade if you will. But
it's it's also expensive to to play it. It can be,
but it's what you know, my dad and my uh

(17:31):
my brother, it's what we do together. So we enjoy it.
And it's one of those things where at the end
of the year, I'm never looking at that number of
what we spent. But it's it's okay, it's like, this
is what makes me happy. Although it makes me happy,
but at the same time it brings out the worst
in me. If you see, like whenever I'm having a
really bad round of golf and you know, clubs are

(17:53):
being thrown clubs, I'm I'm I'm calling myself names that
you know, it's it's it's it brings out, brings out
the worst of me.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
But do you participate in golf fashion? Steven like pastals.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
So you know, it's funny there in the show that
we shall not name right now, there was there was
a some you know, golf that was had in that
and I remember talking to the you know, costume designer saying,
let's not make it so golfy, like let's see like hipster,
hipster a golfer, because I used to think that, Yeah,

(18:36):
all the golf attire was was so lame. It's terrible.
It was ugly and and and you know, over the
years it's now it's I think it's there's it's broad
in you know, it's it's horizons a little bit, and
so there's more style is welcomed. But you are seeing
And my girlfriend brought this up to me that there
are like golf styles it's kind of been a trend

(18:58):
in the last year, and I was like, okay, all right,
I guess, so what you know?

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Yeah, so it's you played against Grace Holcom, who played
Baby Jenny on the show. She like plays for her
college team. She's like a no, I did not know that. Yeah,
our baby Jenny stow up to be like this crazy golfer.
She is so good. We might have to have an I'm.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Honestly a little bit bummed that in the years we
spent living there, because it's like one of the main
things to do in Wilmington that I never learned to golf.
Because now I'm like, that's where all the deals get made, man,
and people are driving around on golf carts and like
drinking Margarita's and plotting business. That sounds like a dream
day to me. But I feel like it would be

(19:48):
hard to learn at this point.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 5 (19:53):
It is probably accomplished a lot of the same stuff
at poker too. That's speed.

Speaker 7 (19:59):
I don't like.

Speaker 5 (20:03):
There's deals happening there.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
You know what. I challenge you guys right now, this
is the foursome and we can record an episode.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
Four of us are going golfing golf? Would you teach
you golf? Perfect?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
This is the content that we need.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yes, Joy have you golfed.

Speaker 5 (20:22):
I have gone to a driving range with my stepdad,
who loves to golf, and I just can't wrap my
brain around the idea of having. Like to me, athletics
are you're throwing your body at something, or your feet
at something, or you've got a weapon in your hand
and you're smacking a bad as hard as you can go.

(20:43):
The idea that you would have a weapon or long
you know, thing that could be used as a weapon
and you're just tapping it. We're just like singing it
ever so precisely. It just completely defeats the point of
athletics to me, and I can't I can't really get
it into my body. That's not saying it can't be done.
I just have yet to be enamored by golf phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I love that Steven's gonna do it. I've never been
on a golf course.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
I drove a golf cart for other people once and
had a great time. I have never golfed. See that's
what you have to do.

Speaker 5 (21:18):
So if you can go make your deals on the
golf course, just be the designated drive.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
I'm here needs to ride.

Speaker 3 (21:25):
It's d W not I the grown up game.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Steven, seriously, I'm going to take you up on that.
I think that in our forties it's time to learn
how agree that. Yeah, my psiatic nerve plays a lot.
All right, all right, the golf question monopolized my time.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
What is your current state of mind when you woke
up this morning? What are the fields?

Speaker 1 (21:51):
I mean, I'm very pleased, I'm gonna I'm I'm happy, chuffed,
one might.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
Say, chocked, darling love that.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
So, yeah, things things are well. Thank you, Thank you
for asking.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
What do you most value in your friends? Steven?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Oh? Laughter, Absolutely, there is. Yeah, I have especially you know,
I have some friends that go way back. I still
have a lot of my friends from high school that
I'm close with. And you know, yeah, I love to
laugh and I enjoy it, and those moments are most cherished.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
So when we're playing golf and we're all not taking
it very seriously and you are and we're giggling, you're
going to love that.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Sure, Sure, trying to teach you guys, you know, the
fundamentals of the swing.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
And yes, exactly, you know.

Speaker 1 (22:56):
Yeah, have you guys ever been surfing?

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Yeah, whim man, I'm a witch, Stephen.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
I don't go in water. That is funny. No, I'll
swing a stick. But that's the day.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Hillary, We're gonna go golfing in the morning and we're
gonna go surfing the afternoon, and your life is going
to be changed.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
He's gonna yeah, he's gonna get me killed.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Uh. Then, Hillary, you have to set something up for
yourself in the evening that you know you're really good at,
so you don't just go home and feel totally defeated.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna make you do some dangerous stuff
that I do.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Whatever that is, bring that porch and teller over, pay
with you extra bucks to make it home. And it's
telling me you're not going to provide for your family.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, that's what I do on Tuesday nights.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I love it. Next question, I'm stressed.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Okay, Well, aside from telling us, aside from just telling
us you would be amused at us laughing on the
golf course, on what other occasion do you lie?

Speaker 1 (24:06):
I just did the other day to a customs officer,
And I feel like every time I come in the country,
I'm lying to a customs officer. Why worry away on business? No,
do you have any goods in your bag. No, do
you have over ten thousand dollars in your suitcase? No,
I always carry eleven thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I just kidd.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
The goods and services or the goods and you know,
just I mean, I've got sorts of jams and cheeses
in my bag.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I'm bringing back some.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
Wint Yeah you made that for them in Mason trip.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, some of that you're allowed to. But some of it,
I'm like, no, nothing at all. I'm just scared on
a vacation.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, I feel like those questions are like a bait
and switch, you know, like you say yes to something
that doesn't seem like a problem, and then all of
a sudden you're in an interrogation room for seven hours. Yep.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
By the way, that happened to a friend of mine
who was coming to see me in the US. It
did not lie to customs officer, and for that they
had to get questioned for a very long time, and
then they weren't allowed in the country.

Speaker 5 (25:16):
Why this is what I'm saying about. The last thing.
Rules that don't make sense, Like there's semantics, it's like
stupid red tape. No, it's so dumb.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
The warped. Yeah, Customs is a warped version of our world.
And they are uh, you know, they're they're just they're
fucking pricks and I get it, but unnecessarily to some people.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
And we're gonna be on a watch list now, I know, right.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
What did them over was they so they'd already been
questioned and said like, we're too honest? And then is
have you ever done an elite? Have you ever taken
a legal substance in the last six months? And they're like,
I've smoked weed?

Speaker 2 (25:59):
Is that count?

Speaker 1 (26:00):
And they're like oh, They're like sorry, you're gonna go
sit in this room and be on the next flight
back to Europe?

Speaker 2 (26:07):
How is that? Yeah? Just be a liar, you guys.
That's the moral of the story. What I endorse it.
We live for a living.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Come on, yeah, there you go, professional liars, right baby?

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Well, what is one thing you'll never do again? Oh? Man,
your whole life is replaying before your eyes right now.
So you know I won't have to because there's there's
a lot of I think growth in this, but.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
I had to in the last season season two of
Everyone is doing great show that I work with with
with James Lafferty.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
On are you guys are we allowed to talk about
that one?

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Yes, we're an independent show.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
Oh yes, because it's so good and we should talk
about it.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Yeah, I'll just say this. I had we had to
take on, you know, a lot, we're mom at pop Shop,
the way that the show is run's a lot of
people wearing different hat and you know, I was fine too.
I directed one episode in the first season and the
second season, I was I was ready to do just one,
but we needed to fill some slots and so I

(27:18):
had to do two. It was it was too much.
And I think I the excitement of kind of taking
what we learned in the first season and doing it
in the second because we were kind of knew what
we would be going through. It was like quickly humbled
because for some reason, too was just like one too
many for me and just where I'm at with my
experience on that and also of course being on camera

(27:40):
and the things that we want to achieve, you know,
on screen for the show, and I felt it affecting
the storytelling and that is like a nightmare to me.
And so yeah, I will never So the answer to
the question is, I will never direct two episodes, and
it's he's in of a you know, of an independent

(28:02):
show that we have to wear many mini hats on
while also you.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Know, being on on on camera on screen as well.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, so that one was was was humbling.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
Oh yeah, but you're a good teammate, Like you're not
the guy that'll be like, sorry, bud Fund someone else,
you know.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Definitely, No, no, no, I'm always I'm always up to
the challenge. But yeah, it gets me in trouble sometimes.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
Okay, moving on, what's the strangest purchase you've ever made?

Speaker 1 (28:32):
Oh, man, inside weirdo, maximum firmness.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Let's see here, where is.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
We're getting there, We're getting there.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
What is weird stuff that I have?

Speaker 1 (28:53):
You know, there was a time in Wilmington where I
had a a online shopping kick and all sorts of
like I would buy some weird, weird art and so
I have all sorts of little posters that it's it's
nothing original, They're like a lot of them are just prints.
And I think I got it for a friend, but

(29:14):
I got Burt Reynolds laying down in a sandwich. He
was the meat of a of a of.

Speaker 5 (29:20):
A French role. Is it the famous Playboy shoot is famous.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I didn't know if it was famous.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
Yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
When he was on the bear skin rug, I bought
my husband a bear skin.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Rug trying to get him to recreate that picture.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Oh my god, amazing in a sandwich.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
The sandwich was not part of it, but that the
artist put him into the sandwich because he's got you know, yeah,
would you be.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Willing to part with this.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
If I still have it? I don't. I don't know
if I do, to be honest with you, that's hilarious.
I never gave it to the friend I was supposed
to give it to, and it's traveled with me. I man,
I don't know. I've got some stuff and storage some
stuff here if I come across it.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
David, have you seen this Instagram account celebs on sandwiches
US literally just all cartoons of people like on and
in sandwiches, sandwiches. It's great, brilliant Question twelve. Who are

(30:32):
your favorite writers?

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Okay, okay, well I mentioned him earlier. Probably you know
on screenplay Christopher Nolan and jon Jonathan Nolan, his brother.
They written some amazing scripts that I admire. Book Wise,
I've always liked Kurt Vonneguet read a lot of his stuff.

(30:59):
That's probably do.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
You have time to even read? I mean, you guys
are so busy working on the stuff that you're doing.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
It's so funny you should say that. I honestly started
reading for the first time in over a year about
two weeks ago. So we kind of started to hit
in the post production kind of editing process of our show.
It's it's it's been a while. It takes it takes
some time, and we kind of we reached a certain

(31:26):
kind of checkpoint where there's a lot of other folks
that are helping us, you know, and and whether you're
getting stuff colored, whether you're getting the final sound mix,
and and so on and so forth. With the music, which,
by the way, Grubs who we all worked with, he
is our composer, and he builds us some amazing stuff
for the show, which is which is so cool. So
we have a lot of fun, you know, working with him.

(31:46):
But yeah, so I just I was like all right,
and it was like, all right, where do I want
to go with this?

Speaker 2 (31:53):
Like do I want to go?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
You know, like do I want to go fiction? Non fiction?
Do I want to go to like my tried and
true in the World War Two? Or do we want
to read something that's more present. Do we want to
read something.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Guy instead of a Roman Empire guy. It's one of these.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
When my girlfriend asked me that question, I was like,
I don't. I don't think about the Roman Empire. Ever,
I was like, where, where's the World War Two? Because
that is Yeah, I'll watch those documentaries all day. One
of my most interesting Twitter follows, which Twitter is I
feel like it's a little bit I don't know. For me,
it's it's been a bit of a dying space. I

(32:28):
haven't been on there too frequently, but I have an
account that is real time events in World War Two
as they played out through the year, and it just
keeps cycling over and over again, obviously over the year.
When everyone pops up it, it says, Okay, on this date,
blah blah blah, happened. So yeah, I go there, but yeah,

(32:51):
so yeah it was. It was. I think I needed
a book of healing as well, as I tell you.
You know, this last season just it took it out
of me. It's just it kicked my ass. It's so
funny when you get to a point in your career
where you probably feel the most comfortable and confident with
all your experience up to that point, and then something
just comes along and just smacks you right in the face.

(33:14):
But it's it's a it's a good thing. This is
what this is how we, you know, continue to learn
and grow. So I wind up just going with, uh
A Killer of the Flowers.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
Moon Moon, which is, yeah, that movie that just came
Have you ready? Yes, I wanted to.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
I'm only like halfway through, so I yeah, I was
hoping to get it done. Oh yeah, I was hoping
to get it done before the movie came out.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
But it doesn't matter. I haven't seen the movie yet,
so we will. We will get through that hopefully. Look
at you, it's like, are you gonna write a book
report on it? Maybe like a diorama or dima. I'll
go see the movie. I'll just go to see the
movie that works. That works. Remember when we would have
to do book reports in middle school and they'd be like, yeah,
you can do a diorama or write a rap, and

(34:03):
I always opted for write a rap.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Of course, Come more, am I the next one?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
Okay, we already asked you about like your greatest fears,
and I feel like we have a version of this question,
but the next question is what is your greatest regret? Oh?
We asked what would you never do again? Right? But
that's different than like, what your greatest regret? If you

(34:32):
could just go back and change any one thing? I
don't know. I'm thinking of that tattoo. No regrets?

Speaker 1 (34:45):
Oh, man, gosh, I'm so sorry. I don't have an
answer for you on this one.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
What would be my greatest Maybe you haven't done it.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yet, I don't. Yeah, I don't know. I don't. Let's
go with no regrets right now.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
But I've got I mean to say that I think, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
I honestly like, I don't something doesn't stick with me
too much. I feel like, you know, I you know,
I've obviously it learned a lot from my mistakes in
my time, so I don't tend to dwell too much
on them. I don't know, so I guess.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Sorry, I'm being very cheesy, right, no regrets regrets?

Speaker 7 (35:31):
Bro?

Speaker 5 (35:32):
So okay, what's something that you really dislike?

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I I can't stand it. I can't stand entitlement. When
people are and look at themselves. I feel like in
a position of power above others, in a way, or
treating people in the service industry, for example, flat attendants.
My mom is a flight attendant for over thirty five years.

(35:59):
And when I see somebody on an airplane for no
reason other than they're just expressing their stress to a
flight attendant and don't stop, I do want to ring
their neck.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
So I can't.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I can't stand that. Yeah, have you ever.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Broken up with a friend or I have? Like we
went to dinner and I saw how they treated waiters
and I was like, oh no, oh no, We're done. Yeah,
and never be together.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
My greatest expression of SAS is at the airport in
the TSA line when people go through the screening and
they leave their bins and I get up there every
time and I go, these people do not work for you.
They are not hired to clean up after us. They're
responsible for national security.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Have some respect.

Speaker 3 (36:43):
And I just stack everybody's bins and throw them in
the thing, and the TSA people are always like thank you,
And I'm like, greatest pet people live and I just
storm through the airport like it drives me crazy. I'm like,
these people are looking for bums and you think they're
supposed to clean up your plastic bin that you put
picked up and put your carry on bag in, pick
it up yourself. It makes me nuts, Steve, and I

(37:06):
like that about you.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
We've we've had fun dinners and like I feel like
when we leave, we're usually friends with the waiters. At
that point, Bro call us like, we're going to an
after party. Do you want to come? Yeah? Yeah, exactly,
exactly exactly.

Speaker 3 (37:20):
Think about what good care Hank took of all of
us at Deluxe for a decade.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Hank, We miss him. What was that chicken dish that
was so so good?

Speaker 1 (37:31):
Do you remember, hey, like it was on with the
noodles or the or the roasted chicken. Did it come
with did it come with a little bit of noodles?
I remember, I'm kind of remembering that it was there
a chicken and then some noodles. Are you talking about
chicken and noodles?

Speaker 3 (37:44):
No, I was talking about like a big noodleble we
used to get with the chicken in it. This is disgusting.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
Two different.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Okay, I mean maybe mine is noodles, But this is
your day. What or who is the greatest love of
your life? Steven?

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Oh, that is that is my girlfriend right now? Jordan
Alexis Weaver. She goes by Alex, but we like to
remind her name is Jordan.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
But yeah, she know, she is.

Speaker 7 (38:15):
She is.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
Easy question, she is hands down, you know yeah, probably
the love of my life. And and I mean you
got to throw the nieces in there as well.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
She passed the niece test. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah absolutely
she did.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, we did a fourth of July with the nieces
and in Minnesota, where my sister resides, and it was
it was a great time.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
So that's a fun. That's a fun when it's like
the family buys in, it's like, yeah, everyone's invested. Yep.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
I think there was a yeah too personal here. Uh
there was a moment when I was hanging out with
with my brother and Alex and they were chit chatting
for a while and I was like left out over
here for a little while, and I was like kind
of it was it brought a smile to my face.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
I was like, look at him, go, this is awesome.
I was like to not expect it to hit it
off that way. So yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, So on
that note, when and where were you happiest? You could
be as specific a bague as you want to be Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, honestly, it's I just mentioned it. I think the
we had a Fourth of July this this year where
we were up in Minnesota and my sister lives in
this like it is just an all American town. It's
it's right on a river. It was the fourth of July.
So there was a parade. We go to the parade.
Then we're back at their farm and we're you know,

(39:50):
cooking some mores. They've got a big fire going. We're
taking the ATV around the property. The fireworks are going
off at night, you know, all over the place, but
in the distance and you're looking over a lot of
farmland from where from where we are vantage point of
where we went, and you know, we're cruising around a
little ranger. Uh so we've got you know, all the

(40:10):
nieces and my nephew stacked up in the back and
and my sister's there and and Alex is with me,
and and that that whole day was like, oh this
is you know, it was with family.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
You know, my brother was there as well. And yeah,
I think that's that.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Yeah, sitting buried in the in the in the sand
for my nieces. As I mentioned earlier that it's yeah,
I think that that is where I'm my most comfortable
and safest and and and happiest.

Speaker 5 (40:43):
Which we did. We did a version of this that
was if you could be the best at anything, But
this isn't like the best at anything. This question is
which talent would you most like to have something that
you just can't do at all?

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Yeah? Yeah, I think I think which is endless vocabulary.
I feel like again kind of back to that like
a self torture of not always feeling like I'm able
to express exactly what's going on in my mind. Uh,
and I get like I overheat, I start going, I'm spinning,
and then I can't. Sometimes I'm like, I'm not I'm
not dictating what I'm what I'm feeling very well, and

(41:21):
that's you know, So I think having that endless vocabulary
and being able to express oneself in a yeah, precise
and concise way.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
Sure.

Speaker 5 (41:36):
So basically it's the same answer. You just want to
either have a little bit of it or or a
lot or like the most of it, but either way
that's your thing.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I was hearing, maybe honestly, but
I so like, Okay, vocab test in in high school
and middle school. I was tuned the out for those,
and I was cheating off of somebody near me. Yeah,
I didn't study my verbs and everything growing up. I
was just like I kind of you know, read some books,

(42:07):
but not all the ones we were supposed to be
in school, and and so yeah, I think that that
that bit me in the ass.

Speaker 2 (42:14):
Later in life.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
We're still trying to make up for it, but you know,
the brain's like it, Sorry, dude, not gonna be able
to retain as much as we used to.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Just do the Hemingway thing. Yeah. Hemingway was always like
less words, you don't need use less words. Just make
it super basic, super clear, like I want sandwich, you know,
like yeah, super super basic. Yeah, you're just doing the
Hemingway methodology.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Interesting juxtaposition there as far as like having an endless
vocabulary and being able to like, you know, just talk
and talk compared to like, yeah, the less is less
is more.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Have you ever met those people that have clearly spent
too much time on like the thesaurus, dot com, vocabular
toilet paper?

Speaker 1 (43:01):
Oh god?

Speaker 2 (43:02):
And were you just like really sure sure you wanted
to fit that today?

Speaker 1 (43:08):
There was a time where I would have early app
on my phone when we were first getting our iPhones,
there was a dictionary app and there was a word
of a day that was sent to you, and so
I always try to incorporate the word of the day.

Speaker 2 (43:21):
Into the day somehow.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
And then I was like, you're annoying and obnoxious? Was
it was a weird because what does that mean? I'm like, yeah,
well I got the word of the day sent in
my phone.

Speaker 3 (43:31):
Right, That's fun.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Good for you.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
Honestly, I kind of love it. Do you ever feel
like when you're going through like a growth spurt in
your life? You can you can sense the way your
vocabulary changes. Like you were talking earlier about how season
two of the other show we can't talk about that
you do that's wonderful. It was such a big challenge that,

(43:59):
you know, it forced you to like into a bit
of a growth spurt. You have to figure out what
you can carry and what maybe is too much for
one person. I always find that if I'm in like
a like an adult growth spurt, that it's harder for
me to talk as clearly as I'm used to being
able to communicate. And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm about

(44:19):
to have a leap because I kind of can't figure
it out, like when little kids suddenly don't know how
to use their bodies. Yes, I feel like that in
my brain body as an adult when I'm so interesting growing. Yeah,
like I can tell that I'm in my sort of
like next evolutionary phase when it's harder for me to communicate.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
I wonder if that's part of it.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
I feel you on that I feel like and it
kind of comes back to sometimes when you're going through it,
not truly understanding you know exactly what it is or
to be able to hit the nail on the head
of what you're feeling during that time of growth. So
I think, and it takes some searching, and it takes
some you know, maybe communication with others an you start

(45:00):
to figure it out. But before yeah, you're just kind
of fledgling. It's just like you're you're, you're, you're you're lost,
and like, all right, I don't know exactly what this
feeling is or how to describe it, but I know
that this is not necessarily a comfortable place.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
Wait, do you talk to yourself like in the car?
Do you practice conversations and talk to yourself?

Speaker 1 (45:21):
I do? I know, No, no, no, not practice conversations.
But I did have to pack very quickly. I slept
through an alarm trying to go to the airport not
too long ago, and we were late. I had to
go outside and tell the driver like, I need to
finish packing and then I'll be back.

Speaker 5 (45:40):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (45:40):
And so I ran around the house saying, come on, Stephen,
you got this.

Speaker 5 (45:43):
You got to steve it.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Come on, focus, Steven, focus, focus, Now, come on, we
get this. Let's get our tarlet trees, Let's get our sweaters,
let's get our just get everything. So there's there's of course, uh,
we're coaching ourselves up from time to time.

Speaker 5 (45:54):
Help.

Speaker 7 (45:54):
But it did.

Speaker 1 (45:55):
It did because I was so you know, I was
like so pissed off and I'm so like disappointed in myself.
You know, I wanted to punch a hole in the
wall and then just yeah and just like saying, I'm
not gonna make it, but you know, we persevere.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
All what I'm saying is for these clarity situations, a
little convo with yourself in the car goes a long way.
Stephen like just practicing saying things out loud. I thought
every adult spoke out loud to themselves and didn't realize
that they didn't until other people like witnessed it.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
Yeah, oh what are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (46:33):
And so what about the courage you to spend some
time with yourself loud?

Speaker 5 (46:39):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (46:40):
I appreciate that there are there are some some fights
that are one I'm batting a thousand as far as
my record when I'm in the shower and the bathroom
with whoever I'm angry at. Oh yeah, I'm like thirty
eight and oh over there knockout every time.

Speaker 3 (46:54):
Yeah, when the zinger hits two years later, you're like, oh,
what I should have said out of nowhere?

Speaker 5 (47:02):
Oh god, it's so good.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
Okay, if you could change one thing about yourself, what
would it be?

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Yeah, I would, I would. I would slow down.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (47:16):
I kind of mentioned it earlier. This this gets moving
too quickly. I feel like my speech gets moving too quickly.
Sometimes I feel like I just wish I could slow down.
And I am looking forward to as I get older,
naturally we slow down, and I'm looking forward to that.
And one of those people that oddly like I love

(47:37):
getting older, I don't. I don't miss being in my
twenties at all, Like, thank thank god, that's overall.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
And we survived and and you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
Uh, And so yeah, I think I'm looking forward to
those times in life where I do slow down and
breathe a little bit.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
But I also like I get excited, you know, I do.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
I kind of back to my youth and like you know,
when there's a big day or it's it's something that's
you know, you're really looking forward to, I can get
very anxious in an excited quick way. All right, just
slow down and enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
So like a big golf day, yep, yep.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Also, I would say, I am I have absolutely zero
control when it comes to consuming food after the hour
of like nine pm. I just I'm a monster in
the night who who will just tear through everything even
though I've had a full dinner.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
So dark dinner, that's dark dinners.

Speaker 3 (48:38):
That what they call it, some of my friends and
I call it when it's like eleven and you're like,
why am I making a bowl of pasta right now?

Speaker 5 (48:44):
I've had dinner.

Speaker 3 (48:45):
I'm having a dark dinner. It's like this, It's it's
just it's too late.

Speaker 5 (48:49):
But you can't not do it, no, and you just
eat yourself.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
You just like eat hate, eat.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Hate or eat.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
And I know everyone could be the to a way
as far as like, you know, you get a bag
of chips and you just keep going and going. But
we could, you know, the four of us could be
sitting down having dinner and if we're at a Mexican
restaurant and there's chips in salsa, I'm.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
Gonna dominate that basket.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Yeah, like you guys are going to have two to
three chips and I will have seventy five percent of them.
But I don't really realize I'm doing it. I'm just
talking to you going like this, yeah, same, just like
from one one chip to the next. It's because you're
the puppy. You're like the puppy that was in the
shelter that had to fight for food.

Speaker 2 (49:29):
You're the youngest. It's birth ordy. You were like, these
older are gonna take my portion if I don't assert myself.
You've earned it.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
It was my sister who called it on me recently.
She was like, bro, what are you doing?

Speaker 2 (49:45):
Slow it down? Yeah, no, you earned that spot. You
take that spot. So the next question, this is a
fun one, This is what do you consider your greatest achievement?

Speaker 1 (50:07):
Oh, well, yeah, I would say, I guess we're not
supposed to really talk about it too much here, but
I would say, you know, creating something independently and being
able to get you know, season one of of the show,

(50:27):
you know, to where it got wrong.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
We will not mention names there, but that was.

Speaker 1 (50:32):
Yeah, that's one of those things where it's like if
you almost if you knew the path that you would
have to take, you would you would probably talk yourself
out of starting it, you know. Yeah, and so yeah,
you know, something that that obviously takes years to come
to fruition and always kind of unclear, and it's been
definitely one of the most rewarding things and also creatively,

(50:53):
you know, it's like in this business sometimes you know,
you know, you're you're taking jobs because you gotta take job,
and what that story maybe or what you end up,
what it ultimately ends up, you know, as in finished
products you're not necessarily pleased with and you might have
known that maybe that's where it was going to go.

(51:15):
But this one, you know, obviously, uh been more fulfilling
and rewarding than anything on a professional level.

Speaker 5 (51:23):
So hm, it was so.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
Cool because we're just like we're told especially as actors,
like there's a path to how a show is produced.
Know your role right, like, don't step out of this,
And you guys just shattered all of that.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
You were like, no, we're gonna do it this way.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
And that was so cool to watch just unfold.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
I appreciate that, you know. It's it's it's like where
you know, independent film when it started coming around. You've
got the resources. It's gonna you know, take a lot
of work, but you can start to make your own
movies that could you know, get some distribution. And you're
seeing that more with episodics now it's slowly happening. I
thought it would be happening a little bit more at
a faster rate. But yeah, yeah, it's it's it's been

(52:09):
fun and to you know, to have that creative control
and to work with your best friends and have this
little filmmaker family that you know, everyone really takes on
a lot to get this done. Yeah, and at the
end of the day, we all still love each other,
which is like, thank god, be honest, you know, that's
so cool. Yeah, Like it's everyone wants to see. Everyone

(52:33):
kind of brings a little something different to the table
and for that you really appreciate each individual, and then
we truly just love seeing everyone succeed. You know, you
want to see everyone succeed, which yeah, so yeah.

Speaker 5 (52:48):
I love that about you guys. That's so great. Well, okay,
here's question twenty. If you were to die, if and
come back as a person or thing, what would you
come back as?

Speaker 6 (53:03):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 1 (53:05):
My mom said when I was born, she was like,
you were like a little seal pup. You just popped out.
You didn't cry, You just sat there with your big eyes.
And so I was like, it's so, it's funny. A seal,
a seal pup comes to mind. But I think I
would want to be land and sea.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
So I just watched a Netflix documentary was on Netflix Netflix.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
I don't know, Yeah, we don't know what that is.
You watched a streaming show.

Speaker 3 (53:36):
You watched a doc so.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
It was called Sea Wolves and it was about these
uh it was about a few different that was actually
there were some seals in that as well, and some
other animals of course, but there were some this hilarious uh,
there there were some sea wolves that it featured, and
they're on this Vancouver Island.

Speaker 2 (53:59):
Is the sea wolf guys, why do I not know
what this is? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
It's a wolf who lives near the sea. Oh, it's
like a SpongeBob song. They're a badass.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
It's a legit species of wolf, Vancouver coastal sea wolf.

Speaker 2 (54:13):
This might be the sexiest answer you've given, Steven.

Speaker 1 (54:18):
Wolf.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Go on, tell us more while we all google sea wolves.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Yeah, there's a famial, familial aspect to them. They are
just being in that environment. I randomly I you know,
my my grandparents lived off of Vancouver Island growing up,
so I spent a lot of time up there and
I always long to go back. They've you know, they've
passed on. So I haven't been up there in a
very long time, but I just would love it up there.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
That's a really lovely answer. A sea wolf A sea wolf.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:53):
Obviously, growing up in Laguna Beach, the ocean rate my
parents were just you know, they just dump be on
the beach for the day in the summers and say,
I'll come home until the.

Speaker 2 (55:01):
Sun comes down. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
So the ocean definitely raised me and so yeah, it
feels feels home.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
That's so cool.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
Question twenty one do you have something in your life,
like a thing you do or a space that you occupy.
Often something in your life that is so easy that
you just know it's where you belong.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
That was funny, easy answer. Just coming off of what
we just said, I would say being at the beach
that that is. Yeah, I long for that, being in
la or when I'm gone. It's part of why I
loved Wilmington so much because, oh, look at this new
type of beach in Wrightsville Beach. Well, you know, this
is different from from the beaches that I'm used to

(55:50):
growing up, but there's a similar vibe. There's this you
know that the beach culture is there, but it's Southern.
I was fascinated with that. I loved loved being in
the South for that reason. But yeah, you know you yeah,
stick my my ass in the sand and uh and

(56:10):
watching the ocean is probably where I'm I'm at peace.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
Even you're like real life, can I be? I beat?
But you're smarter. You're smarter than they always give themselves
permission to beach.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
To beach to beach. I like sand between my teach,
what is it my what's what's his house? The doja casa?
What's Ken's house called Oh yes.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
Yes, the dojo casa of like whatever, the horses all
over it.

Speaker 5 (56:45):
So funny mojo doja casa house.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Yeah, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
That's right, that's right, that's the one. I love that.

Speaker 5 (56:53):
That was just right on the tip of Helena's fingers.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Okay, well, maybe this question plays into this where would
you most like to live?

Speaker 1 (57:04):
M h Well, I mean, if we're talking long term,
we would continue with a similar theme here. I got
to be by the beach, but I mean I haven't
been to Asia at all, or any of the Southeast
Asia countries or anything like that. If I can go
live in Kyoto for a year, be in Japan, be

(57:25):
submersed in a completely different culture, I'm always, yeah, I'm
always my mind's always wandering to something like that, or
whenever I you know, the add will kick kick in.
If I'm seeing, you know, a picture of somewhere that
is you know, it could be like Tokyo, and all
of a sudden, You're like, man, what a different world
like that's on our planet? And then I start to
go on the Internet and I'm starting to look like,
all right, what happens here? Like and then I'm like,

(57:47):
you know, doing the Google Earth and I'm trying to
just like see what's on this random street, and I'm
imagining myself walking down that street. So yeah, I think
there are places, you know, living in live in a
place like Japan for a year and getting somemers in
that culture, which might not necessarily be enough time, but

(58:07):
I would love to do that, and we'll sign up
to do that in a heartbeat. But long term, yeah,
we're gonna need to be by a beach.

Speaker 5 (58:14):
Yeah, all right. Final question number twenty three, what's your
most treasured possession? I? Oh, no, houses on fire? What
are you grabbing?

Speaker 2 (58:25):
Tyler said like a guitar? And everyone's like, he didn't
say his daughter, And I'm like, possession his toy. Come on, yeah, possession.
I'm like my girlfriend, she's.

Speaker 5 (58:39):
Running out with you, she's getting her own things. You
have to get one of yours.

Speaker 2 (58:42):
Yeah, what are you putting in that type of work
container that you just like grab you know? All right?

Speaker 1 (58:47):
I'm thinking about I'm looking around all sorts of different
random pictures and stuff I have when I moved recently,
and I noticed it, but I really had an urgency
to get up pictures of my grandparents and get him
back on my fridge. I had him on my fridge
in my own place. There's a picture of my grandpa

(59:11):
who was a fighter pilot. He's got like his whole
headgear on and then like the oxygen thing on it,
and he's just like standing next to his Cadillac and
it's you know, it's like nineteen forty something. It's that's
a pretty bad ass picture. There's also another picture of
him where he looks like James Bond and he's in
scuba gear like not like that's not looking like yeah,
like a cool version because there is the like, what's

(59:33):
the Adam saying their film and there's like scuba Steve,
which is which is not not the way he looks
in his scuba gear.

Speaker 3 (59:40):
When you said Bond, we knew what you meant.

Speaker 2 (59:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (59:44):
Yeah, he's got the knife on the ankle.

Speaker 1 (59:46):
You know, it's all one dark black about black suit
and he looks like a badass and he's mean mugging.
He's got like his Clint Eastwood going. That picture I love.
And there's a picture there's like a you know, a
must be some sort of a cotillion photo of my
grandma from back in the day. Uh, and those sit

(01:00:06):
on my fridge, I would grab I think those are yeah,
that and my coffee maker and and my coffee probably and.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
What else? What else?

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
My house is on fire. That's a great way to
put it. He's watching my friend's animal right now, so.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
That would come with me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Grab that my girlfriend has as a cat who I
am working on our We're working on our relationship. You know.
I've spent a lot of time with an arm, you know,
stretched underneath my bed, uh, you know, with a brush,
trying to give it brushes brushies, And so I got

(01:00:47):
to grab the cat, even though it will not let
me grab it. So we'll have to figure that one out.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
Did you watch that documentary like The Secret Life of Animals? No? Not.
They talk about cats in it, and I didn't realize
that you were supposed to put your finger out and
just boop a cat on its nose because cats like
boop things with their noses, and that's how you show affection.
So you just booped that cat. Stephen, All right.

Speaker 1 (01:01:16):
So I do there. There is a buddy in high school.
We were all hanging out after school one day. We
were trying to probably figure out where we were going
to get a bag of weed and go smoke it
somewhere and.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
Uh, wonderful details you don't need.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
But yes to child behavior, Stephen exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:01:36):
On the page of being very bright individuals.

Speaker 1 (01:01:38):
At seventeen years old, one of our friends at our
friend's house, he decided to boop the cat with a
rubber finger, you know, one of no boop the microphone,
and the cat attacked him, like yeah it was. It
got very very bad. And the Yeah, the parent actually

(01:01:59):
had to give the cat away.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
No, because it attacked knew you were mocking him with
the fake boop.

Speaker 1 (01:02:05):
Yeah, yeah, it's quite the experience.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
Yes, all right, Well good luck in that buyer.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Yeah, yeah, that's best of luck with your boop today.
