Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I'm recording yay, I have a little post nasal
drip audience, so I apologize. Oh no, I've had it
for a few days. It sounds a little like this MHM.
And I just wanted to be honest with the audience
that they might hear a bit of that.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
What's going on with you, bro?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I don't want Daniel to cut it out because I
want them to know that it's happening.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Was you out and about? Were you around the people's.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
I know I've been at the beach mostly in nature,
but I just I just got this, you know. I'm
just so happy it wasn't COVID because I'm still in
the phase where I'm so I'm still instantly think I
have COVID and I took a test. I don't have it.
I just have a I have a little bit of
a sore throat and I have this. Could it be
from the water, No, it's just Loogie's man. It's just

(00:51):
a natural human culture.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
The beach really considered nature.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Though, absolutely, when is the Why is the beach not nature?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
You're not a I think it.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Would have to be forest to be nature.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
You're not a big beach fan yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I know that the beach.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
You don't like sand. You don't like sand?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Sand?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Is it because it's coarse and it gets everywhere you
like to fish?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Well, that's one thing. It is course, and it gets everywhere.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
You don't like to lie out, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
It's not that. It's not just the sand, it's the water.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Also, I hate I like beaches where I can see
in the water. I don't like beaches where and I
grew up on the East Coast and the water's cold
and you can't see into that motherfucker. And that Jaws
movie when I was a kid did a number on me.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Yeah, my babysitter.

Speaker 4 (01:43):
My dad gave the babysitter money and said take them
to the movies. Yeah, and she took me to see Jaws.
And that is really And there are still shark attacks.
They still make movies that are real about shark attacks,
and you know, like people getting there, you know, getting
bit and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
So is that your Is that your reason for for
not liking the beach is that you're worried you're gonna
get eaten by a shark. Not eating but bit, yeah, sure,
eating bit, same thing. I don't think you're gonna get
that scares me.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Also, like the water is real weird and nasty now todays.
And you know, I heard about this thing that swims
into water and travels up the urethra. That's got to
be in a certain body of water at a certain point
on the planet.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I don't think that's happening.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Point isn't all the water. Isn't all the water starting
to shift? And you know that shit freaks me out.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Now, I don't really know what you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (02:41):
You don't know about the parasite that goes through your
urethra and kills you.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
No, I haven't heard about it. It's a little too much
TikTok oh. Oh, it's on a TikTok thing. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
I don't have I know about this ship because I
know about this ship.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
No, you probably know about it from Instagram reels.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Then, no, I don't know about it from Instagram reels.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
I've known about this ship for a real, real long time,
and all of a sudden test my knowledge.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
On the other side of things, I would like to
say that I've been really I've been loving the ocean
this summer. I've always had a different fear.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Of the attack well.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
I'm gonna put You know what I'm gonna do is
I'm gonna put like a little I'm gonna put a
band aid over my tip. Do you think that'll prevent
him from going in?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
You gotta make it to it perfect.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
There's so many around. He's gonna be like that one's blocked.
I'm gonna try this one next door. That's what you
should do, is just tape your ship closed. I'm gonna
do that.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
I need some horror movies.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I need, I need. I need tape that will withstand
the ocean. Maybe some duct tape.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
But that.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
But that's the crazy port that always got to me
was Hakama just goes through the urethra Hakim.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
It doesn't go through like the ears. There's so many.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Other everyone everyone has. Listen, if you ever watch these
shows where people are house hunting, everyone has a different
vibe that they like. And this creature likes the vibe
the bigger. That's good, right to each their own. I
might like modern farmhouse. That thing likes ureath throw.

Speaker 5 (04:15):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Anyway, my thing wasn't sharks as it was waves. I
had an incident when I was a kid, and I'm
almost drowned, and I, at least in my mind, maybe
I don't know if I really would have drowned. So
my whole life, I've had a fear of waves, and
this summer I've really taken it on in smaller waves.
You know, I'm out in Malibu. I found a beach
where the waves aren't huge. I'm trying things like taking

(04:41):
some surf lessons. I've been. Yeah, it's really been. Truly.
It's gonna sound stupid to a lot of people, but
I have been tackling a fear in waves because ever
since childhood I had I got rocked once and then
I came up and I got rocked again, and there
was ripped hide and I just remember thinking, like I
remember looking at the lifeguard and he was like hundred
yards away. I mean, the fact that there even was

(05:03):
one was amazing, right, But I had that thought that
I'm sure other people listening have had, were like, holy shit,
is this it? Like I got a fight and I
fought and I got out, but it scarred me definitely.
And I've been trying that this this many years later,
to tiptoe back.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
And get out. Did you swim on your back?

Speaker 1 (05:20):
How did I think I just struggled and foughted and
and uh and there was a break in the set
of waves because they just kept every time I'd come
back up, they they were rocking down back on me.
And I think I got I got that set of
waves finished and I was able to catch my breath.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Oh wow, that's real, man. I mean, you know, good
for you for getting back out there.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
That's awesome. Yeah. And it's and also surfing, I've I've
always you know, when I think of surfing, my brother
surfed it my whole life, and lots of people that
love it and swear by. I always think of these
big waves that we see on TV. Not not the extreme,
not the extreme one hundred for waves like in the show,
but like you know, big waves that we see pros surfing.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Like can point break you think Point Break.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Or just anything you've seen photographed, you know, a six
foot ten foot tall wave whatever. It never occurred to
me that, Oh there's just like skiing, there's also a
bunny slope, like you can go on a tiny wave
with a pro And so that's what I've been doing
out in out of Malibu is like you know, you're
on like a two three foot wave and the teachers

(06:20):
because you know, launching you into it, you know, pushing
you because part of the hard part is catching it.
And then he goes like, he goes okay, he goes
like up, and then that's for your cue to jump up.
And then when you catch it and you get the
balance and you ride it in, even if it's small,
it's fun as hell. So I'm really I'm really stoked
because it's been a it's definitely been a fear of
mine for most of my life, and this summer I've

(06:42):
been taking it on. Good for you, Zach, that's really awesome.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Good for you, which is soundtrack right now? What do
you mean a Malibu?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I've been listening to a lot of you know, I
like this new Boy Genius Phoebe Bridger's band gens Rips. Yeah.
I like that. Their merch is great too, Is there
merch good? It's very good.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
We got merch.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
We really phoned in our merch after the after the
initial excitement of having a podcast, we were told like, oh,
podcast listeners love merch, so we got really into it
and then we fell off Donald.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
We totally fell up, Like, when's the last time we
put out a onesie or you should like out there
out there right now for real, Like that's a real
good question. The onesie was a hit and there are
very few people that have that onesie out there.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
There were people that wore the onesie to the Live show,
that's right.

Speaker 4 (07:39):
There were people that wore the onesie on on on
Australian television.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Yeah, and Drew Barrymore wore the onesie.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
There was someone who wore a onesie on National TV
and her name. She's one of the select few out there.
If you have a onesie right now, you're wanted to
select you. We have other merch at the store. I'm
gonna say this right now. We're not restocking anytime soon.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
If that merch merch, that merch is dusty, we gotta
we gotta research merch dusty.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
They keep that shit clean.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
They got I'm literally dusty. I'm saying it's old Like
we need to come up with some new ship. But
you're not gonna do it, and I'm not gonna do it,
So it's not gonna get done.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I dare somebody, Joe, Well, we need to hire like
a in our next incarnation of the podcast.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
In chapter two, Got It, which is starting soon. We
need to hire like someone who's like really into like
graphic design and can make cool merch because Donald and
I don't want to give it the thought. Our dream
is that someone comes to us who's like a graphic designer,
is like and loves the show, and it's like, look
at this cool shirt I made, and we're like, that's awesome.

(08:54):
You know, we need to hire that makes Can I
make one pitch? Of course, don it's your show. It's
fifty per cent you show. You can make fifty percent
of a picture.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Can somebody draw a shirt where we are Star Wars
theme but it's not necessarily don't have to look like
the Star Wars characters and not the Scrubs characters. But
you know how they do it A pictures where it's
like there's the big head, the little head, the guys
off in the corner, the spaceship flying, you know.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
On the horse.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Star Wars motif, a Star Wars motif.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
I don't want us to be dressed like I don't
want to be fucking Han solo.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
The mid of the classic Star Wars poster, but the
four of us, right, and maybe Bill on the background
trying to break.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
In the largest figure.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Yeah, Bill's and faded into the back, just his head,
just like Bill could be in the back like like
like the Emperor.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Everybody kind on the show, you know what I mean?
We could we could have Sam on it, everybody.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
This is the kind of thing, Joelle that if we
had a staff graphic designer, they would be like, they'd
have a draft of it by the afternoon.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
They'd be like, say no more.

Speaker 5 (10:05):
I will for a solid graphic designer because that sure.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, and also someone who loves the show, because it
would be fun to be, like, it would be fun
to just come up with funny ideas and have the
person pitch things based on the show. You know what
I mean? You know what I'm saying. You know I mean,
you know what I'm saying. My house got flooded with poop?

(10:29):
Is that instag Yeah, that's the pipe that claused all
my troubles. Oh exactly, any of you who follow me
on Instagram, I I I took pictures of the very
pipe that ruined my my precious living space.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
That sounds horrendous. How long is that?

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Like it's two day too? Well, this is a debacle.
Oh no, my neighbor's poop came over to visit. Let
me tell you what happened. Let me tell you happywhere.
You know when you know when your neighbor knocks on
your door, it's like, hey, do you ever want to
get a drink and hang out?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
That's what That's what my neighbors poop did.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
It didn't knock anyway. So, to make a very long
story short, I had to rip out all my floors
of the lower the lower floor of my house. And
because it's pooh in.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
It, Oh man, I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
It never to be. I know it sounds unrealistic, but
it never smelt like poop. It smelled like a musty basement.
But it was definitively poop water. Like there weren't there
weren't like logs rolling around, but there were. It was
poop water. Yeah I knew. I mean it was the
seward line silver silver linings. I guess what's the silver lane.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
And it didn't smell completely like ship.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
There was toilet paper.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Yeah, you know it's gross because I had these I
had these really nice I had these really nice wood floors, right,
and you know how like when you get nice wood floors,
there's all like it's not just flat like fake. It's
like all the nooks and crannies of the real oak Well,
in all those nooks and cranny was was was TP.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Jesus, No, No, this is one of those things that
like tries here, I'm gonna die.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I'm gonna lose it. I don't wish this on anyone.
It's horrible. All I can say is that make sure
your house has something. If you're a homeowner, Oh god,
I'm getting chills. Let me give the audience some free
advice because I'm I'm I'm gonna give you all some advice.
I never knew that you needed to have. But if
you're a homeowner, make sure that your sewer line has
what's called a check valve on it. The check valve

(12:48):
allows for poop to leave the home, but not to
come back in. You know when the bouncers throw a
drunk eye out of a bar. Yes, that's what a
check valve is. They are the check valve.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
It lets the drunk guy and the poop out. But
when he tries to come back in. No, no, no, no, no,
it goes, it goes. No no no, don't try me.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, I remember you, I remember you, motherfucker.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Yeah, walk away, walk away, poop away.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
It sends reinforcements to the house.

Speaker 1 (13:18):
Did not have a poop bouncer. Now listen, everyone, we
have quite a show today. We continue our amazing new
Strike show, which is having very fascinating, interesting people on

He wants to know what you had to drinks? And
then I had a cold plunge. I'm still freezing.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Right now, Mimosa, you got all bougie with it.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Well, you know, Preston, I have. I have turned Preston
onto the cold plunge life here at my house, and
he's loving it. We don't I don't have a song yet,
but I have just the plunge and we both have
been really truly feeling amazing, doing it right, amazing.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
But I have to confess I broke a rule today.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Oh so I want to just tell the audience this.
I need to give a little backs for about the rules,
bro I have to quickly tell the audience because they'll
love this. I've been out staying out at the beach
and John C McGinley lives out there and I've been,
uh he is forever for years.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Now, this cold plunge s on of thing is a
trend and a lot of people are doing it. John
C's been doing it for decades and swearing by it,
and so now that I'm into it, I've been going
to his house. People Scrubs fan with love this. It's
literally Johnny C like doctor Cox yelling at me JD
to fucking do it right and go slower and not
get out what the fuck are you doing? And it's
it would be amazing content for the audience because it's

(16:52):
like real life doctor Cox and JD and Johnny is
so funny and he has all these rules. Bill Lawrence
and I have been teasing him because he's he's he's
kind of kidding, but he's not kidding, and he is
all these rules about using this cold plunge, and they're
they're extensive, and one of them is that if you
come to use his cold Plunge, you must first greet him.

(17:13):
You can't just go. You can't just use the you
can't just put in the gate, you can't just go
to the gate code and like just go in the
cold plunge. You got to come say hi right now.
I've been He's got like thirty rules that are hilarious,
but I've been teasing him about that. And then Preston
did it. He fucking came over my house and just plunged.
And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There

(17:33):
are fucking rules, and I have my friend. I told Johnny.
Johnny was dying laughing. I go, Johnny, now I understand it.
This motherfucker came over and just plunged. He didn't come
say hi.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
I'm Norwegian. I like I've jumped into frozen legs. We
cut it with a chainsaw. So I felt like I was.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
I felt welcome, and in my elements, no, no, you
come say hi. I don't care if you're in Norwegian.

Speaker 8 (17:57):
So the rule I broke today, go ahead, didn't bring
my own towel.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Oh yeah, that's another Johnny, A very big Johnny Sea
rule is I am not a fluff and fold. Bring
your own towel. Now, it doesn't matter if you forget
your towel. He's not like I got you this time.
You don't have a towel.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
So you got to make the lesson.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
Stand stand there in the breeze and you freeze your
ass off.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Eat these bulls.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yes, I adopted Zach. My friends in my neighborhood are
starting to enjoy my plunge. So I had this Johnny.
I had to text Johnny and be like, I get it,
bro I'm not a laundromat. Bring your own towel.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
I was gonna gift.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
So what did you do? How are you dry?

Speaker 5 (18:40):
Son? The son? The sun's amazing, very hot. It's great. Yes,
the sun is great.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
The problem I should have burned you though, that's right.
I know you are a bit red Preston. I'm not
gonna keep it one under with you.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
This is me enjoying California. We have to go out
and play golf.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
By the way, speaking I've been played in like over
a year.

Speaker 5 (19:03):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
I've been trying to set up a mandate between you
two because you both have a love of two things
that pair very nicely.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Together, marijuana and golf.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yes, And I don't know why I can't get you
guys to go on a mandate.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
I just haven't played golf. And listen, he can play, right.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, he's really good. What's your hand He plays with
Troy Mullins.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
She's a freaking long drive champion.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Dude, what's your handicap? I'm not going to know what
this means.

Speaker 5 (19:29):
Six?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Right, he's a six Is that good?

Speaker 5 (19:31):
It's okay.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
I've been bettery decent, I've been scratched, but he's a
six on. He's a six on like real golf courses.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah, I'm a six on like Encino, Balboa, Griffith.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm a sixth. You know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
I once shot a seventy eight, seventy eight at freaking Calabassas,
and it was the best day of my life. I
still haven't scorecard in my fucking back pocket, you know
what I mean. There was a point where I was
playing so much that if I didn't shoot in the seventies.
I was pissed off unless I went to unless I
went to like some extremely hard course. When I hit

(20:08):
When I shot a seventy nine at Run you Sorry
at Rustic Canyon, That's when I was like, yo, I
am playing way too much fucking golf and you're.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
Obsessed at that point.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Yeah, but he lost it. He's not interested anymore. He's
got other interests.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
I'm not interested now. I don't.

Speaker 4 (20:24):
I want to play and not have expectations, you know
what I mean, that's the best way to play way better.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
I can't convince you to go on a mandate with Preston.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
No, I totally want to go while he's in California.
We're going to do that. Man.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Let me tell you something else, Dane. And you know
this because you set it up. Another rule a Johnny's
house is when you're done plunging and sonning, you must
come and find him in the golf shed to say
goodbye and give you and give your respects. Now, this
gentleman is playing three hours a day minimum on his
simulator that Dan will help set up in that golf shed.

(20:58):
Sounds about right, And he told me that it is
definitely improving his actual, real life game.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Yes, love that and love to keep the one hundred
with you.

Speaker 4 (21:09):
If you're hitting the ball three hours a day, every
day and you're not getting better, there's something wrong with you.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
Not that.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
I just didn't know if it translated to the actual course,
and he said absolutely.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
Hell yeah, man, you hit Listen, your swing is your swing,
and once you can tell what your swing is doing,
you're able.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
To play anywhere.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Like a lot of people get hung up on I
want my shit to go left or I want my
shit to go right.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
If you can navigate a.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Course with what your ball does when you swing, you're
ahead of the game.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Man, You're you're competing.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
It's it's the biggest freaking mind fucked and nobody can
understand it unless they play.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
You know what cliche? I have a kid, You have kids.
I don't. I'm not able to play like I used to.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Why can't you bring the kid in a in a in.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
A She'll get hit by a fucking golf ball.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
Really I will.

Speaker 5 (22:04):
I'll never be able to live with myself.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Why can't you know what?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Someone should build a little bull.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
Someone should invent a stroller that has like a cage
on it so you know what I'm saying. Someone should
invent a golf stroller. And if the ball it's got
like you know, the cage that's on the thing that
picks up the balls at the driving it should God
the best.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Day ever for every dad, every dad, that'd be the
best day ever.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
This is my this is your real reason for not
bringing your baby.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
That you're word you're gonna get hit.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
Oh, not necessarily spoopy dive.

Speaker 4 (22:36):
There's all kinds of that's a distraction. You can't be distracted.
You have to be one hundred dialed in.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
I mean, how many times are we hearing for when
you play around the golf?

Speaker 2 (22:45):
I hear it at least once once or twice.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Now for when you yell if your if your ball
is just going crazy. Yeah, I'd be yelling for all
the time. Does it hurt if you get hit in
the head of the.

Speaker 5 (22:58):
Up the hill?

Speaker 2 (22:59):
You got able to go all yet?

Speaker 5 (23:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Me too. I got hitting the rib cage.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
It was off a skip. It hit the ground and
then jumped up and it's like forest.

Speaker 2 (23:08):
This shitting curved right into me left too.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Just motherfucker hit that ship off the tee and it
curved right like hooked right into me.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Man, did you run now, man?

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Because I was this was my first time shooting in
the seventies, dude, in front.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Of my brother.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
You were folks.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
My brother and my brother checked us out.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
Me and my brother were playing around and for the
first time ever in front of him, I'm about to
shoot like a seventy five or seventy four, which is
fucking big, big time, right, And we're sitting in the
golf cart and it's the last shot to the green.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I'm pretty close.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
I'm like, you know, maybe one hundred and twenty yards out,
so it's a I'm a gap wedge out right, and
I'm like, I'm about to fucking destroy it.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
That's my nickname, and you edge.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
I'm about to fucking destroy this shit, right, And.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
I hear as I'm getting out the cart, So I
jumped back into the cart. My brother looks up and goes,
oh shit and grabs me like in an embrace to
block me, to help me, and that shit fucking millennium
falcons through a tree, through trees and everything and catches
me right in the rib cage bomb.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
I'm like, oh, I scream like you know, I screamed.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
It's real loud, right, and I'm like, oh shit, I
lift up my shirt and it's like a paintball. Well,
you know, you have to get shot with a paintball,
and that shit fucking you had purple and fucking all
that shit.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
And I look at the guy on.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
The te He's like, oh my god, are you fucking
all right?

Speaker 2 (24:34):
And I'm like, I'm good, I'm good. I'm about to
shoot this seventy five.

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Rusted them up, and I fucking cracked the ball onto
the green and I shoot a seventy four because I
got the birdie at the end.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
What I'm talking about, I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Let's take a break.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
We'll be right back after these fine words. All right, Well, Preston,
we wanted to have you on because you are starring
as Javert and Layman's Rob and it is so good.
They're in La now, but if you're head where Vegas.

Speaker 8 (25:15):
Vegas next, then we're back in the area in Costa Mesa.

Speaker 5 (25:19):
So if you miss us here, take a longer drive.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
I thought we could have.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
You a little about where are you at in Vegas?

Speaker 1 (25:27):
The I don't know, but not at the casino street.

Speaker 5 (25:31):
They go to a real like a big Theater on
Fulton Street.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Oh that's Oh you're in downtown Banks, Old School Vegas.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Yeah, it is it. Reynolds Hall, Reynolds Hall at the
Smith Center.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Yes, the Smith Center. That's it. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
There you go see it. I went to see it,
My mom went to see it. Bill went to see it.
We just had the most amazing time. You're so incredible,
And I thought we could talk a little bit because
we like to have people on that do things and
explain things that you know, most of our audience obviously
isn't an entertained we could thought we could talk about
what it's like to be on a tour of a show, like,

(26:05):
tell us a little about just start with For those
who don't know, I'll state the obvious. It's a Broadway
show that goes on the road and goes to cities
all around the country or the world. But Preston is
currently on the North American tour. So tell us about
like what it's like you you tell us about the
tour itself.

Speaker 8 (26:23):
Yeah, you know, it's there are obviously different markets in
different cities that we play, so we have you know,
I mean, the show is booked for three years right
now and We obviously play different cities, larger markets all
over the country, and oftentimes we sit down for a
long time.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
Sometimes we sit down for a week. Luckily we're in
LA for six weeks.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
And what determines that the size of the city, how
much the tickets typically sell for a show.

Speaker 8 (26:51):
Yeah, exactly, yeah, they I mean, all of the way
they run the market. It's it's incredible the way they
can predict all of us and having all these hit
shoes has come through and they can say lems will
sell seventy eight percent. Here, if we do a week,
we do two weeks, it'll sell sixty two. So so
we you know, it's it's it's great because we get
to see all kinds of different cities and different you know, markets,

(27:13):
and blue collar people, white collar people come into the show.
And still it's such a poignant story that I think,
you know right now, it's it's.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
What if I don't have a collar? Am I allowed.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
A welcome?

Speaker 5 (27:27):
Wait?

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Now talk about it. Just get down the nuts and bolts.
How many there's a big show, it's a big cast,
is a big orchestra? How does this thing move? How
long does it take to set up in the theater?
Talk us through the logistics of the actual tour.

Speaker 8 (27:41):
So there are about ninety two company members and that's orchestra, crew,
cast and management. And then we packed the show up
into thirteen semi trucks, so it takes about a day
and a half for the show to come down. On
a Sunday night, they packed the show up overnight, drive
it to the next city, and our crew is up

(28:02):
all night long and they get us ready for a
sound check on a Tuesday in a new city and
often incredible.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
Yeah, it's it's amazing, I mean they they.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
So you could go slow. So you do a Sunday matinee, yeah,
and an evening often and an evening Sunday, and the
crew does a night shift where they take it all
apart and pack it into the trucks. How long does
that take?

Speaker 8 (28:22):
About fourteen to sixteen hours, depending on the space, because
every theater is different, some are small, some are big.
We have room to you know, negotiate things differently.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Then they travel, assuming assuming Monday night, and then they
spend all day Tuesday setting it up and you're ready
to do a sound check Tuesday, and then you do
a Tuesday show that is unfunny that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
It's amazing.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Hold on, the theaters are are different and stuff like that. Yeah,
there's not one theater is the same. How does that
work out? Yeah, I mean I know that, I know that.
It's still well, you're on a stage. You're never in
the round, right, but right, you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Yeah, every space.

Speaker 8 (29:06):
So our our proscenium is the exact same every theater
we go to, But it's the backstage that has to
be so incredibly choreographed to so people literally don't get
hurt and and we're able to make the show run
as seems seamlessly as it does because it's i mean,
the design is incredible and the way things just seamlessly
move on and off stage is incredible. So, like the

(29:28):
Kennedy Center we played in DC is a huge, huge
space backstage, so it's it's for our crew, it's a
dream because they don't have to finagle and negotiate all
that stuff. But like we played the Fifth Avenue in Seattle,
which is like a Broadway house. Most Broadway theaters are
incredibly small and type backstage, and you know, things are

(29:48):
flown above you, so you're making an entrance on stage
and you have a like a one ton set piece hanging.

Speaker 5 (29:54):
Over your head.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Oh my god, like a lift.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
I remember doing Bullets of Our Broadway and they had
this lift, uh not like like like a mini forklift
that they with a bucket they would use to change
the lights. But yeah, and they So what happened is
there's no room in the wings backstage, so they would
put chain hooks to these things and then what they
call fly, which is moving it up to the sky.

(30:19):
And you, if you're backstage, you're just doing your thing,
you look up and just above your head is something
that would crush you and kill you in a millisecond.
And I went backstages Unti lay Minuz after to see
Preston and all of these beautiful set pieces that are
huge and heavy and a bit in the show are
just dangling above your head in the wings because there's
nowhere to put them. So they the crew moves them

(30:40):
off and then and then pulls them up to the
above your head.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, that's crazy, it's all that'd be so distracting, Yeah,
it is.

Speaker 8 (30:49):
Well, yeah, that's the thing about doing what we do,
you know, there's so many factors, you know, it's it's Uh,
the orchestra.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
The sound is different every night.

Speaker 8 (30:57):
If there are less bodies in the building, you know,
there is less reverbs.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
So you know, it's just every factor plays in.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Now, explain the orchestra piece, because you told me that
for the most part, the orchestra travels with you. But
certain cities have unique union rules where their union players
have to play the show. So all of a sudden, LA,
for example, they have a whole new orchestra because the
LA Union orchestra said, we're playing the show, not others.

Speaker 8 (31:26):
So you're talking about Rule twenty four, which the Musicians Union,
which you know encompasses all of Broadway and all of
the touring musicians. There are certain cities that have a
higher market of musicians, like there are so many players
in LA, so there's a rule that protects a place

(31:46):
where there's you know, a higher concentration of musicians, and
they they then become our local orchestra.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
So wait, what's crazy is what's crazy to me is
that you well you you told me that you are
playing with your regular touring orchestra. Then then someone is
rehearsing the LA orchestra because they have the special union rule.
And then you do show up and that show. It's
like bang new orchestra. You don't even know their names.

Speaker 8 (32:12):
Yeah, yeah, it's amazing and and like the old orchestra
like you in Portland there, Yeah they do. Literally, we'll
be in Portland in a you know a couple of months.
But yeah, it's it's uh, you know, they they're they
do what do those guys do? They're on hikes and
they're you.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Know, they're wait, they're in town, but they can't work.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
No.

Speaker 8 (32:31):
Some some of them came to town just because they're like,
you're in l A, I'll hang out in LA.

Speaker 5 (32:35):
I've got nothing to do.

Speaker 8 (32:35):
A lot of them, you know, people give up their
homes too when they go on tour. So a lot
of people that are on the road or you know,
they're like, this is what I've got. I don't know
where I'm going next, you know, with just the way
things are now.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
Too, especially with the strike.

Speaker 8 (32:48):
You know, there's some people in the cast that do
more film and TV usually that are you know, based
in Chicago or here, that are like, I think I
might move to you know, New York. Everyone's agent is
like getting bombarded with people wanting to do theater, right now,
which is I.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Would like to play? Give all right, when we come back,
say a quick break, We're gonna ask Preston about doing
the actual show. He does eight shows a week and
sings a very very hard part, so we want to
know all about his process. As the Thespians say, we'll
be right back after these fine words.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
Whang who tang forever?

Speaker 1 (33:37):
All right, welcome back to the show. Preston Boyd, you
handsome devil. So many things.

Speaker 3 (33:44):
He's tall. This guy can do so many things. He's
good at golf, grated archery.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
I put in a we had an archery Yeah, we
had an archery target and at in my backyard and Preston, I.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Wanted to play Robin Hood. I would.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
This dude was so good. He was like trying to
make it harder for himself. He's like hiding behind ship.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
When I was a kid, I went to camp. That
would have been so much fun. We could have played
fucking that ship. I went to camp, right, and archery
was my ship.

Speaker 5 (34:13):
Did you do the apple thing with me?

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I'm not gonna do the thing.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
I don't do the apple thing.

Speaker 4 (34:18):
Do you have a composite boat or do you have
like one of the bullshit bows kind of.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Have a we have a very basic bow, but Preston
doesn't care. He like he does some fucking robinhood ship.
He was getting so bored with hitting bullseyes that he
was like, let me try if I jump off here
and shoot running love it. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
He was like up on the deck, standing on the deck,
like firing at it, like lego chat.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
He's like, hey, do me a favor, A favor I
want to hit a move and target run with that thing.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
He's an doorsman. He's an outdoorsman. He's good at fishing.
He can tap.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
One of the first time but I've never met him,
well not the first time, but one of the first
time we ever really hung out.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
He was planning a camping trip.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
While he loves the camp, loves loves a good camp,
Harry camp.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
He can cook one of cast iron doll That's my favorite.

Speaker 8 (35:08):
You know what, I as I've gotten older, I really
enjoy car camping because you can literally bring a kitchen
in your trunk and you can and I love the
like open fire cooking things fun.

Speaker 2 (35:17):
You know.

Speaker 5 (35:18):
One of the best thing is taking a squash and a.

Speaker 8 (35:20):
Cork screw and just screwing a bunch of holes in
a squash, putting it in the ashes, and you crack
that shit open, open it up.

Speaker 5 (35:27):
Oh it's smoky, it's good. I'm gonna come for you all.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
I'm never gonna do that, but listen, I look forward
to going. Preston is the perfect person to go camping
with because he knows all the ship. When you're like,
how does this tent go together, He's like, is that
the R two four nine? Er a second?

Speaker 5 (35:46):
That corner out?

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Yeah, he's that guy.

Speaker 2 (35:47):
Yeah, I love that. That's what I need, you know,
that's what we all.

Speaker 5 (35:51):
It's what we all need.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
But do you know when the.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Problem is when you start cooking ship them bears be
smelling it.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Come on, well you out of so much fear, dude,
everything we mentioned, you're like, no.

Speaker 2 (36:00):
I saw movies as a kid. That was the mistake
and I'm trying not to do it with my kid.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
And I made the all these movies. Listen, you do movies.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (36:09):
Do you know why they make movies, Dano to desensitize you.

Speaker 2 (36:13):
So now now when the aliens come.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
And ship like that, the movies that this is some
conspiracy ship. Donald believes that bears and sharks banded together
to make films to desensitized human beings.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Say they become good.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
You see the motherfucker eaten by a bear. Don't use
desensitize and you'll take out you know what you do?
You take out your phone now and your video and
you shoot that ship.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
I said, I just.

Speaker 3 (36:42):
Wanting to record to reflect that every time I bring
something up, You're like, no sharks, no bears.

Speaker 5 (36:50):
You have a fear of sharp teeth.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:52):
I have a fear of getting eaten by another animal.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
All right, all right, listen, tell us about doing eight shows.

Speaker 4 (36:58):
He doesn't though, right like Super One eight shows a week.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Tell us about doing eight shows a week. For those
who don't know the show, it's a it's a very
hard part. He plays Javert, who's the cop who's chasing
Jean Valjean. What is that like? Do you have to
as a singer who's singing such a big part, Do
you have to do anything special for your voice?

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (37:18):
Excuse me, yes, I've trained so long and to still
be taking voice lessons right now. It is so important
with a role like this to maintain it and simply
it's rest and water and I have a baby now,
so the rest is a bit more unpredictable, so I
have to kind of take it when I can get
it and and like stack up rest for two three

(37:39):
days ahead.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
What about vocal warm ups? Do you do? You know
you see all these famous singers, they have a whole routine.
Do you do that or are you lazy about them?

Speaker 8 (37:46):
No? No, I I was cocky in the beginning with it,
like I was like, this is a role I can
sing in my sleep, and I could for the first
three four months, and then it became much more difficult,
and I think not having the rest that I was
getting initially made a big difference. So you know, different
like lip trilling and straw work, vocal function, which is

(38:09):
literally like vocal cord resistance, so it's strength training for
your vocal cords.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
This is boring, but.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
The reason we had you on was to tell us
something we don't know. We don't want to hear about
golf and weed Donald covers that, and we want to
know about vocal cord strengthen.

Speaker 8 (38:26):
Yeah, so yeah, it's like, you know, you have to
think about us being athletes vocally because I also the
character I play is you know, I have to really
dig deep and get super dramatic with it. So I'm
also yelling and screaming a bit, and I lose my
mind every evening and spoiler alert, I take my life.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Oh Jesus, Yeah, guys, I'm sorry. These are some lame is.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Spoilers, spoilers, I have a question.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
If you haven't seen limb Is by now, we're allowed
to spoil it. Yes, One thing I always thought was
funny about the always like Javert is the main cop everywhere,
like no matter where they go. Yeah, like the story
takes place, The story takes place in so many places.
Why is Javert the only head cop in the whole
fucking show.

Speaker 5 (39:12):
I don't think we need to ask these questions. No,
I think I think wherever.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
They go, it's like who's in charge?

Speaker 8 (39:18):
It's the show is perfect, don't question it.

Speaker 5 (39:21):
No, it's I feel like.

Speaker 8 (39:24):
You know, I he you know, he's he's four places
at a time.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Oh, look at the dog.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Sorry, it's my dog. I'm trying to get out of
answering this. You didn't write it, It's okay.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
I just want to know about the anger.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
What do you Hugo wrote it?

Speaker 2 (39:37):
So it's you don't have to tell us what you're
tapping in.

Speaker 4 (39:39):
You don't have to tell us what you're tapping into
or anything like that, but how do you know? What
do you how are you building that up? And is
it and is it exhausting? I mean, I imagine eight
shows a week and having to be angry and sing
seems very exhausting to me.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
Yeah, I mean, it's uh, yeah, it's I.

Speaker 8 (39:57):
I do try to mentally go there every night, and
and I usually always have someone there that I want to,
you know, do my absolute best for and to go
to that dark place, and I you know, I try to.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
I'm not going all Daniel day Lewis with.

Speaker 8 (40:09):
It, but like you know, it's it's And then also
you know, I'm I'm clocking the orchestra. I'm stepping up
onto a bridge. I'm a size twelve and this bridge
is like, you know, a size eleven and a half.
So I'm trying to like stand up on this thing
where I have this rig coming in to connect to
me to do this effect for my death and everything.
So it's there's a lot of mental capacity that comes

(40:30):
into play there. But it's enjoyable because I do love
to go there and I love to get. I love to,
you know, really like scare people because I kind of
scare myself too, and you have to tap into real
shit for that obviously.

Speaker 1 (40:42):
But you know, and this is both of his big songs.
Just bring the house down. I mean, the audience goes
fucking crazy for you, and I'm so proud of you
when I when I see it. Yes, Daniel, I have.

Speaker 3 (40:55):
A question for President. That's okay. You were talking about
vocal exercises, and I know you said this is ring,
but at the same time, it's something that I think
is very relevant to not just us on the phone call,
but a lot of people that listen to the show.

Speaker 2 (41:05):
Not a phone call, this is this is a zoom.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Sorry us on the zoom called my apologies, Donald, but
for everybody who is on zoom calls frequently, you know,
we are communicating more than ever in a way where
you know, we need to talk more clearly and more crisply.
And so with that, I'm straining my voice more. My
fiance is straining her voice more. Do you have any
advice for just very simple vocal warm ups that could
be good for anybody who is working from home doing

(41:29):
voice calls and stuff like that and just you know,
to better take care of your vocal courts.

Speaker 5 (41:33):
Yeah, that's a great question.

Speaker 8 (41:35):
I feel like I feel like a lot of times
we just are lazy with the way we speak to you.

Speaker 5 (41:43):
I didn't say you most of us.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
You're like, come on, what are you talking? A pillow?

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Hold on, bro, your posture is perfect. Could see how
Donald's protesting he's lying on a bed.

Speaker 5 (41:57):
Local health posture.

Speaker 8 (42:00):
No, I feel like, you know, simply humming, like first
thing in the morning, because oftentimes you wake up and
you you know, you kind of you know, chat out
your plans with your partner or whatever, and and you're
you're not vocally warmed up, so you're already kind of
setting yourself.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
Up for the day. You know. It's a yeah, in
a in a poor way.

Speaker 8 (42:20):
So I think humming, even just putting on some music
in the morning and singing lightly to it, just to
kind of like wake your voice up. Because when you
do speak to people specifically, it's, uh, you're you're it's
a performative way to to speak to someone. You know,
you're you're trying to communicate, and when you're communicating, you
maybe putting in a lot of little extra work than

(42:41):
you normally just be speaking.

Speaker 1 (42:42):
I would also do little I would do little what
do you call them? Things that are the things where
you speak fast. When I was a little, tongue twisters,
I would do those, Like if I have a big audition,
I would always do tongue twisters.

Speaker 9 (42:54):
The lips, the tongue lips, the typic the tongue, the lips,
the typically boat toy boat, toy boat, toy boat toy
to yo, listen, you know what that's you just said.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
Sounds like so much fun if you do have time,
even if you're not musical.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
M hm.

Speaker 4 (43:10):
And yeah, that's such a great fucking way to wake
up with your family. That's hummed this morning at breakfast
and you hum song. When I was a kid, we
used to sing a lot as a family. Like my mom,
my dad, and my brothers. We all would sing together,
not for anyone, but just for each other. Right, So,

(43:30):
like my dad would be like, you know you saw
vacation where they're in the car and they're singing in
the wall. Well, yeah, we would spontaneously do that, you know,
wherever we were, you know what I mean.

Speaker 2 (43:43):
That was the type of family we were.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Another good warm up song is this one what you're
trying to get into one day or show what you're
trying to do.

Speaker 1 (43:52):
I'm disagree with you on that.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
I disagree with you on that one because you're straining
right there.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Can you give me notes on this? I'm gonna sing
it live in front of a professional Broadway singer. Give
me some notes on me singing this ready? I mean
maybe mash My and m slips.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
Care what you're trying to get into a day shoon
or what you're trying to.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
Do, give any thoughts on that?

Speaker 5 (44:18):
I think you want to open up more on the top, more.

Speaker 1 (44:20):
Like whatt you? You know? Let me bring down the mic,
but do that for real?

Speaker 5 (44:25):
All right?

Speaker 8 (44:26):
What you so?

Speaker 1 (44:27):
Let's try what you I can't do it. Just you
sing what you're trying to get into a day shoe.
Here's a melody one more time. I'm going to give
you the melody A day of shune, A day shoe, Yeah,
day o shoe hot, dayo shoon. I'm gonna give you
the melody one more time so you can sing it
in your in your amazing voice.

Speaker 5 (44:42):

Speaker 3 (44:48):
Do what you're trying to do in and dance a shoe.

Perfect? I butchered it, but I think, oh my god,
you gotta deal over time. What that was? Amazing? Weed?
Not even once? Hi, guys, the.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Words are you can't say it to me?

Speaker 1 (45:12):
I finally have the other stony in my life. No, listen,
I'm gonna write the words out for you because we
need this sounding.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
What you're trying to get into a day of shoon,
what you're what you're to do?

Speaker 5 (45:26):
You don't even trying to do.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
What you're trying to get into a day of shune.

Speaker 5 (45:30):
What you're trying, what you're.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Trying to do?

Speaker 1 (45:32):
What your to do?

Speaker 2 (45:33):
Like what you trying to do? You define it like
what you're trying to get into? Is what you're trying.

Speaker 1 (45:38):
It's Donald's expression for saying, like what are you? What
are you doing tonight? What do you want to do?

Speaker 6 (45:41):
What you trying to do?

Speaker 3 (45:42):
It's some titles are this is Donald Faison, What you're
trying to do?

Speaker 1 (45:46):
What you want to go to? The gentleman's establishment, What
you're trying to do? Get in a day?

Speaker 5 (45:51):
Just wait?

Speaker 2 (45:52):

Speaker 5 (45:54):
And what you're trying to do?

Speaker 4 (45:56):
What you're trying to get into a day of shoe.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
What you're trying to do.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
What you try to get in?

Speaker 1 (46:04):
Oh my god, never mind, never mind, I get it.
I'll cut it together.

Speaker 5 (46:09):
I always need two weeks to learn anything.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
Yeah, we don't have two weeks. We don't have two weeks.
Let's go back to you giving me notes on mine. Okay,
what you're trying to get into, what you're sure?

Speaker 2 (46:23):
I think what you're trying in the beginning, I think
I'm not doing.

Speaker 1 (46:26):
This eight shows a week. I'm just singing it once.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
You try to get into a.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Day as shoe shoe? What you're trying to do?

Speaker 2 (46:36):
There we go under.

Speaker 5 (46:42):
I think you need to start a little lighter with it.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
I'm going to start lighter with it and then.

Speaker 8 (46:45):
Finish big, so you know, set it up. You don't
want to blow them out in the beginning.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (46:50):
I love to blow it out in the beginning. That's good.
That's good. Do you want to give us a little
jaenvit sample? Just because the audience I can sing on this.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Can you can just give a little bit of something
like you got about twenty seconds of singing.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
No, no, we got leeway. I can sing the Jean
Valjean part if you want, I am warning you, javert.
I'm a stronger man by far. There is power in me,
yet my race is not yet worn.

Speaker 5 (47:20):
He's worked on that a lot, and it's very good.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
Yeah, I know the whole show by heart.

Speaker 8 (47:24):
He can't think he could. I think he could take
the card out of the pantages and do it.

Speaker 2 (47:27):
I can't, I can't.

Speaker 1 (47:30):
I got one. How does it go place? Now? That's
the wrong show.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
Oh ah, you're thinking. I dream the dream, Preston.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
I dream the dream and days gone by? Oh I
got one for you. Coof rock, you take the watch. Yeah,
they may attack before it's light. Right, everybody, keep the faith.
What is it for a certain Nazzi? We are not alone?

Speaker 1 (48:27):
Oh funck, there we go or something I got I.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Die before I wake.

Speaker 5 (48:33):
They were gonna do the whole show start.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Whenever Preston comes over, I just start singing lines from
Limas Preston had a friend come over and.

Speaker 3 (48:41):
All that means nothing at all, But really, you weep,
I should marry us.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
This cosette is a cosette.

Speaker 1 (48:48):
Would you cosette that means nothing at all? Would you
should marry us? Fall Preston had a friend come over
and he told me he played in the show and
I sand one of his lines. I was like, I
know one of your lines.

Speaker 5 (49:02):
And he told a little grit to it.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Oh that was funny. Actually he's the guy who plays
the drunk guy. The drunk the granter is the character.
He plays the guy who's always drunk at the meetings
and of the students. And I said, oh, you listen,
I'm coming to the show tonight. And on your one
line that you sing, Marius, you're no longer a child,
I didn't say, what's going on? You talk of bay?

(49:27):
He's making fun of Marius for not being like focused
and he goes, you talk.

Speaker 3 (49:30):
Of battles to be one and here it comes like,
don Juan, it's better than it all, parah.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
And he goes, oh, you're putting a little gravel on it.
I goes to me a favor tonight show, a tonight's show.
I want you to put that same gravel on it,
and he's laughing and everything. I'm like, no, no, just just like,
just try it. You might like it, you might want
to commit to it. So I forget about it. I
certainly don't think he's going to do it. We go
to the show that night. This dude threw some stoozy

(49:58):
on tis kind of shout out to Carl Adams for
I don't know if he's stuck with that. Preston has he.

Speaker 5 (50:08):

Speaker 1 (50:21):
It worked. Co director lem is now, well, I just
liked if you go see the show, the touring grammy.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
He does have a grammy.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
If you go see the show, the Touring Company of
Lama is coming to a senior you and you hear
that line that little extra gravel is because of me.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
All right, we'll wrap up with what should we wrap
up with? Preston? Is there anything you want to talk about?
It doesn't have to be about the show. It could
be about your life. It could be about being a
new father.

Speaker 5 (50:45):
Being a new father's incredible.

Speaker 8 (50:47):
Touring with a new baby and a wife has been
quite a challenge.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
But wait and put the wife and kid with you.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
They're they're out, they're here.

Speaker 2 (50:55):

Speaker 5 (50:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:57):
Are they going to do They're not doing the whole
tour obviously, No.

Speaker 8 (51:00):
No, they're just coming out, you know, like when we're
here for six weeks. So they decided to come out
for this. And you know, just being in la Is
feels like being home a bit. So it's it's been
nice to you know, hit cities where we have friends
and family in and yeah, and he gets.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
To come over my house in cold plunge and he
follows the rules. He comes over and says me before plunging,
and he today and from now I'm bringing on towel.
I'm not a fuffing fold. Thanks John C.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
Lastly, I wanted to bring this up to Daniel because
you know, I don't I don't smoke weed or drink,
but I still make late night stupid purchases.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
And I'm very proud of you, Daniel.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
I brought this, but I don't. I bought this, but
I don't even know really what it is. It's called
I thought you could explain to me what it was. Absolutely,
I thought it was one thing, but I don't know
if it's that, Donald, I feel like you'd love this.
It's called the Analog Pocket, yes, and it looks like
a like a Matt Black.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
Game Boy, right, And I just thought I was going
to be able to play like old school.

Speaker 1 (51:56):
Game Boy games on it, but I can't see. But
it didn't come with any adapter, and I can't seem
to what do I do and what can I do
with this thing?

Speaker 3 (52:04):
You literally put old game Boy cartridges in They fit
in there, so it is meant to fit game Boy,
game Boy Advance. To game stats, you have to actually
go to games cartridges. But what it does is it
allows it to be a kind of like pan console
controller for many different kinds of handhelds. Yeah, so, Daniel,

(52:24):
how many different systems will this little thing play? I'm
pretty sure it is, like because it has different adapters totally. Yeah, yeah,
so I think it's game Boy Advanced, regular game Boy.
I'm pretty sure it works with almost any kind of
game Boy, game Boy Color, game Boy Advance.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Let's see here.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
Pocket works with cartridge adapters for other handheld systems too,
like game gear, Neo Geo, Pocket, Color, Atari links and more.

Speaker 1 (52:52):
So it is. Yeah. Yeah, so so do I need
at Let me ask you a question. If I buy
a game Boy cartridge, yes, can I just stick it
in here? Do I need Nope? You just stick it
right in. Oh, I gotta go on eBay right now, y'all.

Speaker 2 (53:06):
Go to gamestaff too.

Speaker 1 (53:08):
Yeah, okay, but I was gonna go. I was coming on.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
I bet you for a little bit of money. If
you want to adventure it out into the valley. There's
a place, I believe it's called game Dude, and they
sell vintage cartridges and stuff like that, and they have
they buy back.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Yeah. So if you want this, do I need adapters
or anything?

Speaker 3 (53:26):
Just stick in here? So so on its because all
those cartridges are different. They're slightly different. Yes, but right
it works with any let's see game Boy, game Boy Color,
game Boy Advance works right off the bat.

Speaker 1 (53:36):
You do need to end.

Speaker 3 (53:38):
No, Supernintendo is we're talking handheld consoles.

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Sucks. That sucks.

Speaker 1 (53:44):
Well that's what it's trying to emulate. Well, it's pretty cool.
I mean I'm not doing an ad for it. I
just bought it late night thinking I could it was
cool and I needed Daniel to explain it to me.
Ali pocket is an awesome device. It's really really cool.
It's popular, huh.

Speaker 3 (53:59):
I mean amongst the monkst you know, what's some good.

Speaker 1 (54:02):
Game Boy games that I should buy?

Speaker 5 (54:03):
What do you guys love which Zelda was on the
Game Boy?

Speaker 3 (54:06):
That's a good one, o g Zelda's I mean, if
you haven't played any of the original three Pokemons, like
you know, Red Blue and Gold or Red Blue and Yellow.

Speaker 1 (54:14):
Or classics Super Mario.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
Absolutely when when the Game Boy came out, the one
that was the dopest was the freaking Super Mario Brothers.
The Mario Brothers stuff is always great on game Boy.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
And then that's why that's that was the best to me.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
All Right, well, thank you for your review. That's our
show everyone. I want to thank Preston Boyd. Go see

as well live it up.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Jean Valjean? Will he be getting a lap dance?

Speaker 2 (55:15):

You have to ask him in a different way because
I don't think he's going to get it.

Speaker 1 (55:36):
Yeah, he certainly is gonna be able to repeat it.
All right.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
