it made no sense to me. And then all the
way in Orange County, California, we got Gary Smith. Hey,

then back from the vast seas of the Boston of

(01:21):

oh yeah, classic classic what's crapping in?

Speaker 4 (01:31):
I know there was panics on the Panic on the

But we're here, We're here.

that's right. Maybe he's he's he's a little busy. He's
a little busy. But yeah, he's gonna he's gonna try
to jump on I'm sure. But in lieu of Caitlin,
we have someone that's actually really funny, and it is
Gary Junior, who is now sitting on Gary Senior's lap

(02:04):
and joining us on the show.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Girls rub their eyes when they wake.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
Up, timing kid, I'm going to learn time.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Girls rub their eyes when they wake up?

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Why Why?

Speaker 5 (02:19):
Because they don't have the ball.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
Rob show's over kids, work goes overdue. Incredible lugs.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
By the way, that joke three hours ago, he's been
a workshopper.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
He really puts some stink on the end there.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Well, yeah, that delivery was I'm doing a show in
San Diego tomorrow night. Your kid's joke is going to
make it to this day.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
But then you have to credit my six.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
That's the only way it works. The only way it works. Yeah,
he's six.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
That joke just knocked me off my saddle.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
When I just say, on behalf of the entire Bobo
Boy army, respect, all women respect.

Speaker 7 (03:22):
Sogynistic joke, I think it's just glue.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
That's so good though, I mean, it's brilliant. It's right there.
I didn't unexpected. You know, I've been in front of
every comedian's face for all time.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Just when I thought I wrote it all.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, that that really took me by surprise in the
best way. So what a way to start the show? Really,
I mean, I think I think that's that's the show.
Oh man, do.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
You imagine if that's what we give them after making
them wait until Thursday night four minutes.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Of There's Apartment Things, that that our audience would ironically
just get be super into it, like.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
The best show ever. I would just see the comments.

Speaker 7 (04:08):
I will say that my wife told me that she
was scared he wanted to do that joke, and that
she knew that she couldn't get him, like she couldn't
coach him away from it.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
And I said, you know, I think it's gonna work
with our audience.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
That I'm just so pleased that's I have no words
other than that, So thank you. All right, now pivoting
to the more serious part of our show. So I
was told that Dawson has news. I don't know what
that means. Yeah, he bought a bald Brian and told

(04:43):
us he would announce it on the show. Yeah, speak
okay before we get into that bald Brian. Love love
me some bb friend, good friend. If you're if you're
not subscribed to his movie newsletter. It's one of my
favorite reads.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Oh it's one of the best emails I get all
week every Friday.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
So yeah, so please follow him online, get his get
his newsletter. But he always did this thing whenever he
came into the show where he he saves it for air,
and he would always just hold withhold any opinion. He
would come in and announce that he had seen a
movie and then and then you go on air and

(05:21):
you talk about it. He goes, yeah, it's good, and
then just play the out show and I'm yeah.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
That's about what you're gonna get Chris warm and cool
him down for my big news later.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
All right, but Dawson is see but that was that
was baub Brian. Now we're talking about Mike.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
Professional broadcaster Dawson.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, exactly, And when he says he has news, he
has some.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
News, So I don't use that word lightly.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Mike Mike, the Mike, Mike with the Mike Dawson.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Interesting. Yeah, but on that bro, I'm fresh off the boat.

Speaker 6 (06:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
It was good shit too, except it rained all day
one day in Nova Scotia, so they had to move
all the bands from the pool stage into other stages
throughout the ship and it just fucked up all of
our days. But if the worst thing that happens in
your day is you're introducing more bands in different places,

(06:26):
that's not a bad day, right. But yeah, dude, it
was fun. Got to see all my friends from Parsons band.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Do you get the do you get the like the
nerves for introing a band? And who are you more nervous?

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (06:42):
Yeah, dude all the time? Every time.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Are you more nervous about the audience or what the
band is going to think of your intro?

Speaker 4 (06:50):
I don't know, dude, I would say equal parts to them.
I think I'm most nervous about me. And also, yeah,
I don't fuck this up, dude.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Well, because the way I see it is Look, I've
played a lot of weddings, and I always get nervous
when I especially when I play the ceremony and then
when the bride's walking down the aisle and I'm plucking
away at you know, some some songs like you know,
like I forgot about Dre or whatever.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
They want to walk down too.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
I.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Last. Yeah, I'll play it last all the time.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
I really forgot about Drey.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, like the groom comes down during the first part,
and then when the M and M verse kicks off,
that's when the bride starts coming down.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Yeah, exactly so. But as soon as the bride walks down,
everyone stands up. It's as if someone just pressed the
mute button on my guitar, because everyone's just now is
just so focused on the bride that it doesn't really
matter what I do. And that's actually a soothing feeling.
It's a comforting feeling.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Known. Oh I'm not I mean no offense to Dost.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I think Dawson is very important, but in that moment,
I'm like, I'm not as important as this, and this
is what people are here to see. So when you're
introducing the band, you could really just I think you
just say whatever.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
When you put it that way, that's a very good explanation.
I think, honestly, I'm more considered. I am more considered
with how the band feels because I want the band
to feel good. But that's intertwined with the audience because
if I make the audience feel good, they will make

(08:28):
a lot of noise, thus making the band feel good,
thus making me feel good. So it's a it's one
of those symbionic relationships or symbiotic or whatever it is.
You know, it's we're an ecosystem, you know, the music,
the fans, the host.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
Right, do you should get like one of those loudness meters?
You know, as soon as people see the loudness meter,
they go they go nuts.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Matt.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
When I introduced the Alan Parsons Project in the theater,
I did that thing again where I brought that lobby
desk bell and this time props. This time I had
good mic placement. I was able to hold the wireless
mic in my neck and I just you know, I
did a quick thirty second overview of what they're about

(09:15):
to see, and then I just bear with me one
more piece of business and I put the mic here
and I go ding and I pretend like I'm listening
and I'm being serious. Then I go, yeah, we're ready,
ladies and gentlemen. Alan Parsons and I walk off the
stage and it was it's fucking great. And I asked,

(09:36):
I was very concerned. I asked Tabitha, Allan's daughter. I asked, Hey,
what did Alan think of the infro?

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Did he like it? Was he happy?

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Because you know they're they're fighting for time and sometimes
they'd get up early, and Alan gave me like five
minutes to talk on previous cruises, and I just go
do a fucking tight five on Alan Parsons and it
all went over well. But they're running late, and I'm like,
I'm like, Alan, I'm gonna do this in under forty
five seconds, and he goes, I love it. And then

(10:09):
I said what did Alan think of the intro? And
Tabitha said, she starts laughing and she goes as soon
as he heard the bell, he said, coffee and everybody
laughed and they took the stage and they and they
played fucking great.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
So I'm glad, Look, you loved it. You're introducing a
lot of bands. I'm glad you're here because.

Speaker 6 (10:31):
You're going to run out, introduce your band.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
You're gonna run You've introduced my band enough. And I
know because one of my favorite things that you do
is you go, you guys, ready to see the best
band on this stage?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Right now? Yeah, while we're on the stage.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Well there was, there was.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
This was a classic rock cruise and there was a
country band on stage. And they're awesome. They're in the
Sacramento area. They're called All Hat No Cattle. My friend
Natalie and her husband are in the band. They're fucking rad.
And anyway, I said to that like six months ago,
I sent like Natalie a Facebook message and I said, hey,
do you guys do Poncho and Lefty.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
It's a Willie Nelson Merle Haggard song.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
All the federal Alis say could have had it that one.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
So she goes, she goes no, And I'm like, well,
could you guys learn it?

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Because if you did, all sing the Merle part on
the next cruise and I'll just kid you know, it's
the last verse in the song. I'll just walk up
on stage and sing with you. Guys's like, great fucking idea.
This is a fucking six piece band. They got a
fucking uh everything there's fucking pedal steel in there, and

(11:43):
they absolutely nail it. And when I went up there
and I was so fucking nervous, and that is a
different kind of nerve when you're performing, because you're performing
for yourself. But I wanted to perform well for the
band because they're the ones who took the risk to
put me on stage, and then all these fucking people

(12:06):
paid money and now I'm singing in the band and
it's fucking country night on a classic rock cruise. If
this isn't fucking awesome, it's gonna be bad, right, So
I was I was pacing, I was fucking for like
during their entire set, and this is like the twelfth
song of the set.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
So I had a wild await I have.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I don't know you're gonna think of it as a dare,
but I think it's a good idea for the next
time you introduced the Alan Parsons Project. Okay, So before
you go on stage, I want the lights to dim
and I just want them to start playing serious over
the speakers, Okay, And then you come out and then
you bring out the Alan Parsons Project too too serious

(12:51):
the way, and then that'd be brilliant, so serious.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, it's an XM thing that people have in their cars. Yeah, sorry,
the sky.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, it's what the Chicago bulls will come Michael. Yeah,
that guitar riff freaking topic. And you know, did they
play that live? I'm sure right dos.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
Yes, yeah, it's it's the first part of eyeing the sky.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Chris. I appreciate all the yes, anding and the brilliant ideas,
but are you actually suggesting that Dawson plays a song
from the band they're about to see, and so everyone
in the audience is thinking that they are going to
see the band and then just slowly saunter on the stage.
You let the music.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
It's it's like you get it.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
I mean, I just feel like I under it's it's
there's a brilliance of comedy.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
And you got to do it. On Tomato night. Everybody
was just.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Gonna say, you are gonna have a fucking tomato throat
at you if you do that, But now you definitely will.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
That would be that would be super funny, dude.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
So they know I would have to I would have
to go through a sound guy in a dip No.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Way, I can't.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I can't bluetooth speaker.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
This one's gonna recall.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Oh that's how I just kind of hear it, Like,
is that is that the song doing it?

Speaker 6 (14:14):
I'm doing that on the next cruise.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
I'm bringing it out on my bluetooth speaker and I'm
gonna fucking walk around the stage to it. And then
and then when it goes bow ladies and gentlemen, make
it sound so fude, why we're here? This is Oh
my god, that would be great.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, that's right. Yeah, it's so sound as thin as possible.
You want noise grown pretty loud.

Speaker 6 (14:46):
You guys, remember that game show we tried out?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Yes, yeah, I hope it went better on the ship.

Speaker 6 (14:53):
Major hit all right.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
For those.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Music Dawson tried a game show that he ran on
the ship, but he tried it out on us during
a Patreon episode where he asked us lyrics of just
basically song history.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Yeah, yeah, you know, in fact, we did really we
did not, really did not do well. And I even
I even went through the questions and I'm like, okay,
this is they somebody should get one of these.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
But he gives it, you know.

Speaker 4 (15:24):
And here's the funny thing. So today's miracles, Tomorrow's expectation.
I am now expected to do this game show on
three different rock cruises, this one Monsters of Rock, and
Cruise to the Edge, the Prog Rock Cruise. Now I
have to tailor each fucking game to the theme of
the cruise that the fans who are lucky enough to

(15:46):
be drawn to play actually have a fucking chance to win, right.
So that means that you guys will never get any
of the answers to any of these questions because I'm
not working a Blink one eighty two cruise.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
That's true, could you is there such a thing?

Speaker 6 (16:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Yeah, no, Well I was trying to tell a joke.
That's dog was the only thing. Sorry, that's dog was
the only response I got.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
I know you were joking, but I was trying to
work through whether or not I would go on a
Blinky Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
We were just absolutely yes.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, no, see that's what that's that's the point I'm
trying to make. I don't think there is, but I
think there's a cruise that they might be on. There's
so many fucking nineties cruises, so many on.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
Point the Yeah, when you said Blink one eighty two, crews, Gary, Matt.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
And me just went off into a fantasy. Yeah, I
think guys.

Speaker 4 (16:48):
Went that's why you didn't laugh, because you're like, tell
me there is such a thing.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, really is this really a thing I can do?

Speaker 6 (16:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (16:56):
I even knew it was a joke, but my mind
just was taken over with like, fuck, dude, how much
with this cost?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
And when am I going please let that? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (17:03):
You guys know there's a Creed cruise. There's a fucking
Creed cruise. I want to go on a Creed cruise.
I think I enjoy that. I would totally yes, wow.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, the only way is one dude. It's just like Nickelback,
the Creed hate not deserved.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
No, that's just you know.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Scott's staff is kind of a douchebag though, and that's deserved.
But that doesn't mean that doesn't mean you should hate
the fucking band.

Speaker 2 (17:33):
Dude. It's fun. Yeah, exactly, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
And it was like it was like, you know how
Eddie Vedder first stylized that, you know that that grunge
gravel vocal.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
You just get it one more time. I want to
get that one clean? Do I want to get.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
You know?

Speaker 4 (17:58):
And uh, and it's like Creed when fucking hold my beard, dude.
And you know it's like, if you asked AI to
create an aggressive duplication of Eddie Vedder on Pearl Jam's
first record, you would get Scott's stap on Creed's first record.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Well, let me know about this, because I don't know
if this is just me getting older, which I am,
of course, but I'm I thought i'd become more of
a hater, but I feel like I'm just becoming less
of a hater. I'm just like, look, man, this is
all great. Love it all. Taylor Swift, you.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Got bangers, Creed, you got some bangers. That's fine.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Whether or not I happen to like them all doesn't
matter if people who like them enjoy it.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
I don't care anymore. I don't.

Speaker 1 (18:44):
There's just no there's no I have no more time
or energy to spend on just hating.

Speaker 6 (18:50):
Yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Hate other haters, but.

Speaker 3 (18:53):
I'm one hundred percent with you here, Chris. The one
exception to this rule is goddamn Spotify algorithm that will
play any particular song like ten thousand times to the
point where you have to actually go, Okay, I actually
hate this song, now, you know what I mean? Like
then I feel like all the judgment's fine, but it's

(19:14):
not really the band's fault. It's Spotify's fault.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Yeah, hates a strong word.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
Just give the thumbs down if it's on random or
if and then they'll they'll they'll get the message, I think.
But Spotify's algo isn't isn't necessarily super strong. I mean,
you know, I don't know one person who is just
completely satisfied for their end of the year list.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
Or Spotifies Algo sounds like the sequel to Logan's Run.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I'd watch it.

Speaker 7 (19:42):
You know what's disappointing to me about Spotify's algo not
being all that solid, which you're right, it's not. But
I mean, this company has all the money in the world,
and I will remind you of a long since forgotten
service called Pandora that had this figured out in about
two thousand and six.

Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah, it is going strong in my dad's house, by
the way, I.

Speaker 2 (20:05):
Believe it's I believe.

Speaker 3 (20:07):
That he's enjoying his Gelson's gum.

Speaker 7 (20:11):
Yeah, okay, we've got a spell with that. You can
get done and ice at a variety of his selish.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
I didn't. Yeah, I guess Pandora still works on Netscape.

Speaker 7 (20:21):
Yeah, was your dad disappointed they were shutting down AOL
dial up this month?

Speaker 3 (20:27):
He does?

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Do I need to inform my friend who has a
mind Spring account.

Speaker 7 (20:35):
Will access it through AOL dial up, which one hundred
thousand people still they're shutting it down.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
My god, they're shutting AOL dial up down, just the
dialog because I will say, I mean, we've all done,
We've all seen a lot of people's email addresses over
the years. There are some really notable people who's still
notable that AOL account, and that's like the prime producer
of the show.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Way of getting a hold of them, you.

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Know, you got to actually kind of give it to
him because it's less to type, you know, if you
have to enter that email address for the first time.
I'm personally grateful for less letters. You only gave me
an AOL dot co m bro, thank you. But if
he went, if you.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
Dawson, is that everyone who's got an Apple account now
has me dot com so.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Of letters, dude, Yeah, the back are very easy as well.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
But yeah, seeing ao L people with AOL it's still
just like, man, that's how I get ahold of you. Still, Yeah,
producer ll oh, producer ll still has an aol. Okay,
that's what you'r That producer is the one you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
That's what I was talking about. We forgot. Yeah, she's
our producer. So yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
It always, uh, it always interests me who still who
still has one? I have a Hotmail account that I've
been trying to log into and I forgot my password,
and I have a lot.

Speaker 6 (21:57):
I got one somewhere, Dude, I got a hotmail somewhere.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Hot mail. Yeah, hotmail was good. What's his name?

Speaker 6 (22:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (22:04):
I went.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Okay, so I came back. I just came back from
a thing I was filming for for work at a
college that I used to go to. So we it
was actually a photo.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
A college that he used to go to, or the
college that he used to go to.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yeah, I went to three different This is the one
I went to right out of high school called cal
State Fullerton.

Speaker 2 (22:26):

Oh I wasn't. I was in your neck of the
woods there. Apologize, but I was really busy.

Speaker 7 (22:34):
You go to cal State Fullerton, Dawson to the bray improv.
At least Matt has the dignity and not come anywhere
near us.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
First off, I mean school just started, so the place,
the place is buzzing, and I go.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
I walk around with a backpack.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
So I'm walking into Calta State Fullerton with my backpack on.
Just seeing all the kids. I'm like, I fit in.
I fit right in. I'm sure did you feel that way?

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Look in all those kids?

Speaker 1 (23:01):
Well, I will say, the kids look like they're ten.
I mean really, I's like, you're a college kid.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
This is what college is.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Like you You're you're also tiny and young, so it's
that's pretty wild. They look it really looked like I
was in a middle school or something. But somebody was
asking me for directions. I was like, oh, sorry, it's
my first day. I don't know why. That was my response,
Like I don't know, but she believed me. I was like,
all right, so you know, just saying I still got

(23:28):
it's still walking around college very weird. But there were
signs all over the place. I don't recall the name
of the app, but it's for a dating app, and
it's a dating app for hot people. That was the
that was the only steff like downlast stating app. It's
a dating app for hot people. And I'm like how
are you vetting this? How like you have to take

(23:48):
a selfie before. I don't know what it is, but
but yeah, you have to downla appen. The whole along
was just dating app for hot people. And that's what
That's what's going on now in colleges these days.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
It's wild.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, but it was. It was. It was weird being there.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
I went there for one year and uh, and then
I left because I was undeclared. And my manager at
TJ Max said he dropped some gnaw. One day when
we were working late. He brought me in his office
and he's like, he sent me down, like, Chris, what
are you doing with your life?

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Excuse me?

Speaker 7 (24:25):
Excuse me, mister, I your manager at TJ Max. You
drop out of college?

Speaker 6 (24:31):
Yes, so for college. Let's see what college was it?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
And I remember being in his office. That's a fine institution,
by the way, that's good. It's a really good school.
The thing is, though I I was undeclared, it was
the only college I applied to because I had a
terrible guidance counselor and I thought that if I applied a.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Week, tell you to drop out of high school?

Speaker 7 (24:59):
Can't you not even I mean, I know, you can
declare as a freshman, but you're just taking general education class,
so the first two years anyway, that's right.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
So what difference does to make if you were undeclared.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Well, the thing is, I applied only for one college
out of high school because I thought if I applied
to one cal State, I could just pick and choose
whichever a Cal state. I was really not how that's
definitely not how it works. I applied at Calcay Flutin
and got in like, Okay, cool, I'll just go to
cals and Long Beach or something like, Oh no, you
got to drive out to Floating. You aplied that's where
you applied. I'm like, oh, they're not all like linked.
I don't know how college works. I really my guidance

(25:29):
counselor was terrible. And so I go to cal Say
Floats and I'm undeclared. I'm working at TJ Max and
my manager pulls me in his office. Remember this is
the manager who thought I was somebody else when he
hired me. He thought I was a surfer. Yeah, that
or that that he met surfing. So he's like, Chris,
what are you doing? You're undeclared at college. Do you

(25:51):
have a scholarship And like, no, I'm paying my way
through it just you know, savings. It's you know, a
few thousand dollars every semester plus books, which I'm kind of,
you know, in my way through.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
And he goes, get out of there. You're undeclared.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Just go down to a community college, get your ge there,
and then you could transfer out wherever you want.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Okay, this is less than I thought.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
Yeah, yeah, this is great advice.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
And I thought he was going to tell you to
drop the classes and start hitting those waves again.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Ud, just me you let's good. Let's let's go out
in the mornings. You know, that's how you should spend
your day. School school of life.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Let's just hang out and learn from a school of fishes.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, you want to go to lunchroom, you and hang
out in the green room. That's what they call when
you're inside the wave, the care.

Speaker 2 (26:39):
Of the wave. Man. So I did that.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I went to I went to community college for a while,
and then I went went out to cal State l A.
So that was my until I got a job with Corolla.
So that was my that was my higher education. Now, yeah,
it was fine. So, but but I remember when I
went to.

Speaker 2 (27:01):
Calcad l A, I didn't I did not graduate.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I am very calca a LA left to bad taste
my mouth because they like purposely stacked all the classes
I needed to graduate at the same time, so where
I if I wanted to graduate, I would have to
stay another year because I can't take all those classes
at once. It was like a weird business. Even like
the my counselor there apologize. It's like, look, this is

(27:25):
how they get you. So you got you can't graduate
for a year, like I need to like two more classes.
I like that explanation when it's like they is you lady,
like you you this is how you get me.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
That's right. Fuck this, that's so that's such bullshit. So
how many units would you need?

Speaker 7 (27:40):
Like if you decided, you know, five years from now,
like you thought it was important for Betty to see
that diploma, like what what what?

Speaker 2 (27:47):
What do you have left?

Speaker 1 (27:49):
I think I needed two more class, just these two
classes to get this particular degree for this particular major radio,
TV film.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
And so while I'm yeah, I wonder if that very useful.

Speaker 6 (28:03):
Wow, I know you know, yeah, radio, that would be it.

Speaker 4 (28:07):
You should you should uh recommend your manager at TJ
Max for like Citizen of the Week on some local
AM news station, you know, and just be like, I
wonder if you saved me so much money, bro.

Speaker 7 (28:23):
I wonder if you could go back to them and
make an argument, like and show them all the evidence
of how much how much you have done in those
fields in the past fifteen years and just say, hey, like,
I think we're all set here, Like, why don't we
fucking go ahead and count those credits as real life
work experience.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
It's it's it's akin to that story of Steven Spielberg
walking into is a film class ever, not showing up
any at all, and just submitting et as his final
and walking out.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah yeah, is.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
It just me? Or as Chris is Mike just clicky
and crazy? Am the only one that's hearing it?

Speaker 6 (28:55):
Weird?

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Rush want to make sure.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I have not noticed it?

Speaker 1 (28:59):
But I also, yeah, maybe it's your dog, freaking barking dude.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, man, he got he gets the nine o'clock crazies
and he goes nuts every night.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Oh good, all good?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
So anyway, and then so I remember being in college.
I've told the story before, but I was also interning
at Corolla and I was working on a show called
This Week with Larry Miller, and Larry.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Liked me so much.

Speaker 1 (29:27):
He was very sweet where he would reschedule his show
to accommodate my classes. So I'm like, hey, Larry, I
can't work on the podcast anymore because I know we
tape on Wednesdays. I have class on Wednesdays. Now He's like,
then move to Thursdays. You stay on the show, and
it's very very sweet, and then I realized. I realized
after that and a few other opportunities, like why am

(29:50):
I missing all this stuff like trips and stuff, I
would say I couldn't do it because I've a Spanish
tests on Monday.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
And it's like, this is weird, this is weird.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
I I'm I'm We're I'm doing I'm doing the dance,
I you know, and uh, I'm jumped through all the
hoops when I already have something cool going on. Now
that's really rare and an awesome and so it's a
great that's a great what that's a good idea, Like

(30:19):
that's a good idea for a show my whole podcast
about about people's resumes. But anyway, weird being back in college.
I am on this new dating app. But so I
just want to give everyone my QR code. So that's
kind of why I brought this up. Uh, just just
to show everybody made it now. But yeah, very very
interesting time, very interesting time. Uh just walking around looking

(30:41):
at college kids baggy jeans are back, felt like I
was at Monster Massive. That's a rave. Kaelin should have
been here. He would have loved that. But yeah, that's
you know, it's fine, it's fine. All right, Look, we
have comments, we have stuff to get into before we do.

Speaker 6 (31:01):
Would you like me to get to it now?

Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'm getting to it. Yeah, all right, Sorry, I thought
we I thought we started out. I don't.

Speaker 6 (31:07):
Yeah, I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Well, look we built it up enough, Dawson the big news,
the big freaking steaking news.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
This Monday, I began my new position at ninety five
seven the ride in the afternoons in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Nice man, I'm nice, hey, I thought, Okay, I'll be honest.
I built this up thinking this is going to be
like some bullshit news, and it actually is pretty awesome news.

Speaker 6 (31:41):
So I was trying to deliver it though. I was
trying to deliver it though. Like that, people go, are
you leaving? Are you moving to Charlotte?

Speaker 2 (31:52):
I know, I know you were.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
You guys are too smart for that.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Hey you're talking about radio, film and TV major right here,
no diploma.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah I get it.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
I read Dream on their website, Dawson.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
Yeah, it does.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
It's uh yeah, it's probably ninety five to seven the
ride dot com.

Speaker 6 (32:14):
I've I've checked it out and streamed it.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
I'm on from three to seven pm Monday through Friday.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
That's amazing. And what's what's involved? What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (32:26):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (32:26):
In fact? Dot com?

Speaker 4 (32:30):
Cool? Dude, the This is a dream radio job. This
is a job aside from the fact that I'm not there,
you know. That's the fun part is being there on
the air and here we go. But I only talk
three times an hour for no more than thirty seconds,
and only about music and the music I'm playing and

(32:54):
how it makes me feel.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
Oh, otherwise you're just running songs.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
All I do is go into a studio and I
talk for fucking twelve I you know, and then I
send them the voice tracks and it.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Gets You're not sitting there.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
I'm not there. No, no, no, no, no, no time.
Now it's all it's all you know, smoking mirrors, but.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
It's really me and I'm really there.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
What is there any time in one of the thirty
second windows for a joke?

Speaker 4 (33:27):
Because oh yeah, dude, I mean yeah, yeah, nice nice.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Okay, so let's tell me let's test this out. Then,
let's test this out. First off, das the what is
going to be your intro and your sign off?

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Uh dude, this radio station doesn't even want me to
fucking say the call letters or the frequency. There is
no fucking sign on I said from my sign off
I did say. I said I'll join you on the
ride tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
You know.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
It's like you got to casually, you know when when
I say the name of the state of the imaging
of the station, I say, I'm Mike Dawson. I hope
you're enjoying the ride, moving on with one from the cars.

Speaker 6 (34:17):
Okay, So let's stop talking.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
And that's the hardest thing to not go on ninety
five seven the ride, you know.

Speaker 6 (34:24):
So that's what they don't want.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Okay, I like it on that I'm definitely on board.
Now let's now, I'm thinking you got to talk about
how how you feel you got to open up. Thirty
seconds is not a lot of time to open up
let people in.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Well, so it's not something about how you feel. Although
I did say I did say that I was still U.
I was still bouncing around the room from here in
Windwoods Higher Love. But that's what happens when you hear
Steve Winwood's Higher Love.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Okay, oh okay, Well let me give you a song.
Let's say it's gonna play. Tell me how how makes
you feel?

Speaker 6 (35:02):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Who let the dogs out? Baja boys?

Speaker 4 (35:06):
I feel like we should be questioning are the gates locked?
You know, Let's worry about the dogs later on. And
it's not blame people until we know we're secure. Yeah,
So that's how it makes me feel. By Shaggy, I

(35:28):
don't die because it probably was me and so counter,
I mean, we know, all we know is it wasn't Shaggy,
So it could have been It could have been me,
It could have been you, you know, but and uh,
you know we're we're stereos apart on the ride. Oh

(35:51):
nice throwing at them and dude, the best thing too,
between you meeting and anyone else who listens to this podcast.
I'm doing this on pro tools, and so I can,
you know I can. I don't have to get it
all right in one thing. I just think of what
to say the idea I want to get across. I

(36:13):
keep on saying it until I get a nice, good
flow with it.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
I'm like, that's the take. Maybe miss, but it's all
super easy.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
I don't even know that song, dude, I blinked in
the eighty sixth.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Wow, somehow it's even better when you don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
That was awesome.

Speaker 6 (36:34):
That's this yea.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
I will also say North Carolina. I mean, I know
you're not going to be there, but low key North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Well cal Adam's doing shows there like this weekend, and
I'm like, okay, that might mean so he'll be back
in like two years, you know.

Speaker 6 (36:56):
And they they.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Wanted to hire somebody who's not going to fucking quit.
They're like, look, are you gonna stay here for at
least five years? I'm like, fuck, you're not gonna get
rid of me.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
So do you get to choose the songs that you're
introing or they? Okay, so they just do all that.
They just tell you here's the song.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Now, Yeah, I gotta look at It's like a digital
print out that looks like it came from nineteen eighty three,
you know, on an MS doss or something whatever. You
put in a floppy and uh, and you gotta go. Okay,
so I'm out of that song into that song? Is

(37:35):
that right?

Speaker 6 (37:36):
And I've made. I've made.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
It took me a total of two hours to do
a four hour show today.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
Yeah, I mean, you'll get better at it. That'll.

Speaker 7 (37:47):
That number will get down to thirty minutes by the
same year eventually.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
But I still got four days left. I still have
sixteen hours of radio to record. Granted each hour is
only a minute in thirty seconds, but how long does
it take.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
I can get there well longer now than it will
six months from now.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
But yeah, yeah, it'll, it'll, it'll.

Speaker 4 (38:08):
Right now, I'm trying to untrained myself of all the
things that I was trained in in radio.

Speaker 2 (38:14):
Totally, totally so.

Speaker 6 (38:17):
But it's cool.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
It's uh, these guys seem pretty sweet and and they
already gave me my first endorsement ad.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
That's awesome.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Yeah, and uh, the endorsement ads pay more than the
job itself.

Speaker 6 (38:35):
There you go, so here we go, dude.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
That's they're already plugging you into this. They're saying the.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Amazing congratulations and that means, you know, I I'm hoping
that next time Corolla goes out there in two years,
like fuck, dude, I'll go to shows out there.

Speaker 6 (38:52):
Yeah, maybe even I don't know. I don't know, I
don't know, I don't know. Whatever.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
I am so happy for you. This is this is
totally meant for you. So please send us, send us
some clips. I would like to analyze them on this
show and and improve them. You know, we'll workshop them.

Speaker 1 (41:07):
And a Bridget Bernard wrote a climent for that and
she starts it with you don't have to read this
on air, mm hmm, but I love listening to you guys, okay,
that thank you for taking the time bridge it. We're

(41:28):
going to read this Gary. Oh oh oh, peanut butter
and honey is exotic.

Speaker 6 (41:38):
You're the best.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
Oh thanks, So I think she well, she put the
oh sorry, she put the crying laughing face. I think
she's laughing at you.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
She's laughing at me.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
She's saying that the peanut butter and honey whatever uncrustable
that I was highlighting, this exotic is exotic. Well look,
I'm sorry, but the uncrustables are grape and strawberry and
then everything else.

Speaker 2 (42:01):
I got it. I'm with Gary.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
If I saw peanut butter and honey uncrustable, I would
think twice not to eat it.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
I was wondering how this exists in why it's in
my hand.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
But I would just be happy that I'm like at
a beach resort in like Jamaica, eating this exotic sandwich.

Speaker 2 (42:17):
That's right. Maybe drinking an ipa one of those weird beers.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
Maybe one of those weird beers, but definitely something with
an umbrella in it.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
You know, we don't get beers with umbrellas in them.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
It really is unfair. How cocktails fruity cocktails have commandeered
the umbrellas. You know, Mike was just in Nova Scotia
and was raining all over the place. Only the cocktails
were taken care of the core beers.

Speaker 6 (42:46):
They right, Oh my god.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
All right, let me give you a little lesson. See
the purple and the red one over there on the right,
that's the normal ones. See all the ones with purple
at the top. Purple is normal. All the stuff underneath it,
all this nonsense this you know, lemon cello crust, the
bowl or whatever the hell.

Speaker 3 (43:04):
This is this.

Speaker 6 (43:06):
There's chocolate.

Speaker 2 (43:09):
That's exotic. It's exotic.

Speaker 6 (43:12):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Okay, a lot of tabs open there, bro, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yeah, a little too many.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
I'm gonna try to get that one on in Tahiti.
But next time.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
You're gonna enjoy it. Looking back at that video.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
Whatever, I'm busy. I got a lot of tabs open anyway. Uh,
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
I'm with you. Other drink should get umbrellas, Matt, not just.

Speaker 3 (43:40):
Yeah, I mean, just be a nice treat every once
in a while if I get you know, maybe maybe
it should be loggers. That's more island?

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Why? Why? What makes my time more entitled to shade?

Speaker 6 (43:53):
Because it's not your tie.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
See that's what I'm talking about. And then Bridget comments
not over. She says, Matt, hey, thank you for the
comment about four hundred to five hundred years. I don't
know what you said, but Bridget, I'm gonna read your
comment on air.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Peter Morrow.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
Along with that goes Matt suggests wacky changes to golf
in this episode. Gary and Chris just responded with silence
and no funniest part of the pod for me.

Speaker 2 (44:29):
It was the most inferiing part of the pod for me. Peters, Yeah,
it was.

Speaker 7 (44:34):
It was quite the tyrope walk to not get very
very angry at Matt and to understand that he was
attempting to bring contact Dawson.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
You weren't there for the movie club, and I know
you did see Happy Gilmour too.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (44:45):
My argument was that even though the last act of
the movie was not exactly well executed, I do think
there's room for improving golf. It was onto something. Golf
should not be so easy that profession get negative scores.
That's how good it is. They get less than zero. No,
golf has to be harder for them.

Speaker 4 (45:09):
I think they're making I think they're making longer courses maybe,
but that's really the only way to do that without spoiler.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
That wanted to my ideal dieting.

Speaker 7 (45:18):
I wanted to put miniature golf course obstacles on the green.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Yeah, no, that would be awesome.

Speaker 4 (45:24):
No one, dude, watch Caddy Shack to dude, that movie
sucked Dawson.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
If you put that movie was better than Happy Gilmour too.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (45:33):
And Dawson doesn't want that because if you put opsic
cool courses on the green, then he's gonna like step
barefoot on a set of jacks. If you don't know Dawston,
Goll's barefoot.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
All right, what if the paper mache alligator bites my foot?

Speaker 2 (45:48):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (45:50):
And lastly, movie Junkie besl ceses Chris's imitation of Kail
and doing his flicking the bean craps, and it cracks
me up every time crabs me. I have to admit
I was not a big fan of this movie. Had
some funny stuff, But if Alex Sander just filled the
movie with cameos and rehac stuff in the first movie
to cover for a kind of weak plot, I think
he's been kind of fun in the last couple of

Go ahead, here, we're just testing. We're testing out the
new slang.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
I mean, look, that's what I love about this show.
We're coming up with a whole new language, and I
love it.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
We'll find a new fucking subject matter.

Speaker 6 (48:00):
This new hat I got. I felt like this is
a uh.

Speaker 4 (48:04):
Starship hat from the band Starship. This fucking hat licks, bro.

Speaker 1 (48:10):

Speaker 6 (48:21):
Uh god.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
It The more Gary, the more comfortable you look, the
better it's gonna last. The longer it's gonna last, the
more we're gonna lean into.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
It, I understand.

Speaker 7 (48:30):
I just you know, this eventually gets to Joe Cool
licks and the Janks lick, and you know it's just
it's it. It started to get way too personal. I like,
I like where this is going. Uh don palliss. He
has a question about the bussing. Was the bus registered
in one name? Were you all on the registration?

Speaker 6 (48:49):
Yeah, that would be That would be fucking smart.

Speaker 2 (48:51):
That's all.

Speaker 6 (48:52):
We're gonna register this bus to all of us.

Speaker 7 (48:55):
Wait is that a series question? How do registrations work
in the state that you live in?

Speaker 2 (49:00):
California?

Speaker 7 (49:00):
I don't think you can register it to like a
soccer team. I think the answer is quite clearly, one human.

Speaker 6 (49:10):
Individual, Yes, one one person.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Yeah, it was registered in one person. It was not me,
and it was registered as an r V. So yeah,
let's see.

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Stuart J.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Morris, is Matt, you and I are cross dominant? I say,
I'm left handed but right armed. So that's the phrase
for it, cross dominant.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
Yeah, left hand for it or just what he calls it. Yeah,
either way.

Speaker 4 (49:39):
That sounds believable. I'm right handed and left footed. I
don't know what that means. Maybe I'm cross submissioned.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
Dude, cross dominant people lick.

Speaker 1 (49:51):
Yeah, this is really this is really catching on.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
Yeah. The weird part is when I start using it
outside of the pot asked. Yeah, like when you're at
work going to be project.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
It's gonna be part of my Yeah, Gary, let's see
your employees.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
Yeah, that's why my nineteen year old interns. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:14):
Yeah, just go up to whatever her name is and
be like, hey, this article licks.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
Yeah. I could just see HR pulling in Gary like hey,
Sherry says, they've been saying she licks a lot, and
then it was right after you were barking at her.
I know she's very confused, and I think we're just
gonna have to give you a right up here, just
to be safe.

Speaker 7 (50:35):
Kyle t says, Oh, Chris, you think I work where
you work. I don't know if the HR my work
would know what a write up was. Nuchellizs how to
do one, dude.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
HR is such a funny concept, like coming from like
where we all started.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
It's just oh yeah, I remember, I remember one.

Speaker 1 (50:57):
Time somebody was talking about like, oh yeah, we all
got to take like that Corolla, we all got to
take the sexual harassment course because it's the law in California.
And then it's like, well, it would really only apply
to Gina, who is like the only girl that worked
with us for like four years. So it just kind
of funny, like we all to take one just for her.

(51:17):
But I remember having taken one with podcast one, and
uh yeah, it's just like, yeah, every time you like,
just don't say that to Gina because I guess you
could sexual sexually harassed other guys to excuse me, But
it's a for the for the most as.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
Dick, bro, That's what I mean. For example, like you
couldn't you shouldn't say that.

Speaker 3 (51:36):
And there was a lot of sweet Dick quotes. Yeah,
that did happen for a while.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
It was complimentary though, so I didn't mind it.

Speaker 1 (51:45):
Yeah, let's see here, Kyle t says, if you can
change time, go one day in the future, find out
the Powerball numbers, then go back in time and get
the correct numbers.

Speaker 7 (51:59):
That's a very specific one to like today because the
power Ball is up to like one point seven billion
or something.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
Yeah, did you guys, did you guys get to get
in on that action?

Speaker 3 (52:12):
No? Not yet. No.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
It's like, yeah, if I come across some place here,
if I come across someplace that sells one, I'll probably
buy one, because why not, But.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
I just set my money on fire, Like what are
we talking about?

Speaker 6 (52:26):
Yeah, I'm not doing it.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
I actually was thinking about this today, I was having
this very thought. I thought, you know what, I don't
want to win the lottery. I love if I win
the lottery. Yeah, I feel like I lose the drive.

Speaker 2 (52:42):
Yeah I get that.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
That's that's like you're a new radio gig, right, because
they would be like, you know that's the.

Speaker 6 (52:47):
Ride, bro, that's the ride.

Speaker 3 (52:50):
Want me for at least five years you win the lottery.

Speaker 2 (52:53):
I respect that, but but all here is more chances
for me to win.

Speaker 1 (52:56):
No.

Speaker 2 (52:57):
I love how. I love how Matt.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
I love how Matt is like, might as well just
burn my money, set it on fire? When this is
last week? Is like I scraped the caviat off my
spoon air because Tooots and Fushi.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
First of all, I didn't do that. That was my wife, Okay, Chris.

Speaker 7 (53:16):
But the better joke to make is that you know
Matt's favorite pastime is to go to a bar that
is hidden behind a mysterious door and requires a password
to spend thirty nine dollars on a cocktail that he
could make it home for four dollars.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Oh, Matt, are we going to do that? When I
when I go to Austin this month?

Speaker 3 (53:32):
If you tell me your fucking schedule. That's what I've
been trying to get out of you for a few weeks.
Now I gotta make rezies, dude, Yeah these do you
think we go to these places?

Speaker 2 (53:43):
Max? You need a reservation for a drink.

Speaker 7 (53:45):
But he's like the idea of a lottery ticket is
lighting his money on fire.

Speaker 3 (53:53):
I'll tell you cocktail bars sells lottery tickets. I will
fucking get one, but old if I could buy one
at the bar I'm drinking.

Speaker 4 (54:01):
At that kind of that that I would find almost
acceptable because there is nobody, especially as a smoker, when
I got to run into the seven to eleven and
get some fucking cigarettes and then run out and make
it to work in time. The thing that is the
worst that could ever happen is somebody playing lotto in
front of you. It turns two minutes into nine minutes,

(54:23):
and it's like, fuck you lotto, motherfuckers. And so I
have enough self respect that I will never be one
of those because it affects me so much.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
Boom, Yeah, that's too many minutes.

Speaker 6 (54:38):
Too many minutes, man.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
So when we all go on the ticket, guys, we
just split through ways. So four this is nice.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
I mean, I'd rather be sitting on a beach eating
a peanut butter and honey, you.

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Know you're just hearing about that? That really licks that.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
Just see that fantasy.

Speaker 6 (55:01):
That's the life that licks, bro, that's the life that licks.

Speaker 1 (55:05):
Let's see here. Lastly, this is from our Facebook group.
Not a fan of this one. I don't know why
because it seems judgmental, but Ryan Roberts put out a
poll and it just says, who of the boys has
ever gone camping?

Speaker 2 (55:23):
I didn't care for this either with a tent?

Speaker 1 (55:25):
Who's ever gone camping with a tent? And Dawson is
well in first place with sixty one percent of the votes.
I'm in second place with twenty one percent, Klin in
third place with nine percent, and then Gary in fourth
place with five percent, and Matt in the last place
with four percent. That actually makes sense, But the other ones.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
Why does everyone think that make sense? All I do
is talk about going to Mammouth with my fucking family.
You guys think I've ever been camping before?

Speaker 6 (55:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (55:55):
Yeah, I love.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
And also I was thinking Gary had loving and loving father.
I'm sure they fucking went camping. And of course I've
been camping in a tent.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
You're absolutely right, Dawson, so have I. Yeah, I've talked
about it.

Speaker 6 (56:11):
When I go camping, I sleep my fucking truck.

Speaker 2 (56:13):
Dude.

Speaker 6 (56:14):
I'm not going to fucking build a tent, but you have.

Speaker 2 (56:18):
I've told that.

Speaker 1 (56:19):
Oh well, somebody actually wrote that, Michael Porters that twenty years.
I think Dawson would not use a ten. He'd just
sleep in the back of his truck.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
So yeah, that's the way you do it. I mean,
even if I've done it without a camper shell. Dude,
it's easy man, sleeping in the back of your truck.

Speaker 6 (56:33):
That's it's called a truck bed.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
I've I've I have shared a parking lot with Mike
Truck for many years. It is like the Ritz Carlton
back there. I mean, it is a lot of real estate.
You could really sprawl out square footage.

Speaker 6 (56:46):
I don't have that anymore. That got totaled.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
Now, Oh that's right, that's right.

Speaker 6 (56:49):
Oh fucking mean, person.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Mean person, I'm not bad. I didn't mean to bring
that up. Then, I'm sorry, dude, that's all right, but
you're okay.

Speaker 6 (56:56):
I named that truck Gandalf.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
Gandalf the Gray I had the first truck I had
that wasn't named a woman name.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
What's the current truck's name?

Speaker 6 (57:06):
I didn't name it.

Speaker 4 (57:08):
My heart's still broken from Gandolf and this is just
a fucking side piece.

Speaker 6 (57:13):
Maybe that's what I'm gonna name it, side piece.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
She'll appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Girls really love it when you call them side piece.
I think that's something I learned.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Yea, all girls like big thing.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
Yeah, all right, well well Ryan Roberts, Well, Ryan Roberts,
I want to touch that one. You know, I was
in the middle of talkings. I'm just gonna finish my
sentence first, and it's a.

Speaker 2 (57:37):
Really long one. Well, Ryan Roberts, I don't really care.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
For the poll because I have gone camping in a
tent and I have told that story about me even
with Jen setting up a tent in the pitch black dark,
and she insisted, Hey, we need lights.

Speaker 2 (57:52):
Turn all the lights.

Speaker 1 (57:54):
Turn the lights and just like our headlight, the headlights
of the car, like a laser, just shoots into the
girls just squatting at a tree. Her lights, her lights
lit up like like the way like the possum's eyes lightly.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
Here's the thing, here's the thing. How long was she there?
I mean because she chose that spot. Did she were
you guys there first or second? Number one and number two?

Speaker 2 (58:17):
I think she was there first.

Speaker 1 (58:18):
And I just remember seeing her squatting out a tree
and this is like a camp. There are a lot
of people camped around to.

Speaker 6 (58:23):
You, so like that sucks awesome, and like and.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
We're in shock, so we don't even immediately turn, like
we're just like uh. And then she's just sitting there
and after like five seconds of silence, which felt like thirty,
she just goes, can you please.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
Turn those off?

Speaker 7 (58:45):
Which awakens in both of you like, oh shit, Yeah,
why is that not? Why was that not the obvious
thing that we did immediate?

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Yeah, So not only have I slept slept in, I've
I've pitched my own tent, Ryan Roberts, I've pitched many
freaking tense.

Speaker 6 (59:01):
Yeah, well you're not really mad at Ryan, dude.

Speaker 4 (59:03):
He just fucking he said you can't shoot the messenger,
you got to shoot all the messengers, and they were
sending a really strong message to you, Chris.

Speaker 1 (59:11):
Yeah, but this is like a King of the poll
and the patrons like, who's ever actually towed anything with
their car?

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Like what does this mean? What does this mean?

Speaker 6 (59:20):
Yeah? Is this? Is this the measure of a man?

Speaker 2 (59:22):
And it's it's that's exactly who.

Speaker 6 (59:24):
Has smoked on an airplane?

Speaker 2 (59:26):
Right? Is this the measure of a man? You got?

Speaker 6 (59:29):
Have you guys smoked on an airplane?

Speaker 3 (59:31):
Maybe counts.

Speaker 6 (59:33):
No, it doesn't smoke. I smoked a cigarette.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Oh I'm not. We're too young. Oh look at Toss.

Speaker 6 (59:40):
Yeah, that's got Humboldt Dawson.

Speaker 1 (59:42):
Dawson is Dawson is nodding his head like he's like
the only guy of us who's ever pitched a tent.

Speaker 2 (59:48):
And it hurts, but it feels.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
In this case though pitched a tent and smoked a
cigarette in it. And that tent was in a seven
forty seven flying to Europe.

Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
You pitched a tent in a plane.

Speaker 6 (01:00:03):
Well you know that's the smoking section.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
But yeah, no, we played a soccer tournament out there,
and for some reason, I'm smoking cigarettes of my fucking coach.
Well not with him, but it's a smoking section. The
coach is in there, some of other kids on the
team are in there.

Speaker 6 (01:00:26):
Weird. It's a different time, very different time, very different time.

Speaker 2 (01:00:31):
So I think we can go so far as to
say that pitching tense licks.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
I think so, all right, one of the many things
that licks. Hey, if you got something that licks, leave
it in the comments, Well let's do it.

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
Oh God, about matrix. This could be this could be
a segment.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Yeah, we just every week we just talked about stuff
that licks, because, as I said, we're not haters. We
much want to talk about souff that licks. And yeah,
we want to hear what you think licks. So and
that's actually what this part of the show is the
plug section. So we're gonna go around the horn and
talk about what we think licks and you should check out.
So I'll start in Austin, Texas. Matt Fondelier, what quick

(01:01:11):
plug for you?

Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:01:13):
Well, Gary May's suggestion that really licks. It's a TV
show called Blackbird. Uh and I'm enjoying it eventsally Okay, yeah,
you talked me the other day.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
It seemed a little trepidacious, so.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Oh oh no, I haven't watched since then, but it's
it's still merits a recommendation. It's on Apple. Paul Walter
Houser is that his name.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:01:35):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
He's fucking great and everything. And I think he won
an Emmy for his role in this which is pretty impressive. Uh,
and it's pretty entertaining so far.

Speaker 7 (01:01:46):
He's he's actually a really fun character in the new
Fantastic four movie that I saw this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:01:51):
Oh cool, and the new Naked Gun movie.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
My gosh, guys every everywhere all right, well that plug
their houser.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
It was for Blackbird, okay you black?

Speaker 6 (01:02:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:02:06):
All right? Dos? What licks?

Speaker 6 (01:02:09):
What licks?

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
Is?

Speaker 6 (01:02:09):
Uh? That?

Speaker 4 (01:02:11):
I got asked to do a show tomorrow night in
San Diego, downtown San Diego at a place called National Lampoons.

Speaker 6 (01:02:19):
Yellow Door.

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
Yeah, you're gonna be transported. I'm gonna be due. There's
a yellow demat. There's a door on the stage. I
saw pictures of it. There's an actual get this, this
is gonna be weird. There's an actual yellow door on
the stage. Hence the name. That's pretty clever.

Speaker 6 (01:02:41):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (01:02:42):
Yeah, make recommendation, Dawson, if you want to be memorable
to the crowd, give that door a nice big lick.

Speaker 6 (01:02:48):
Ooh yeah, I don't know, it's smart.

Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
And take the mic and just very very quietly but
loudly that door licks.

Speaker 6 (01:02:57):
You can't you can't argue with the science.

Speaker 1 (01:03:00):
I already know, we already know what interest song you
got to come up, go out to I want video
of it.

Speaker 6 (01:03:04):
What does it go?

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
Serious?

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Oh, just come out to that for a comedy show,
just get where people really pumped up.

Speaker 2 (01:03:13):
And then Gary Will licks.

Speaker 1 (01:03:16):
Uh Wriggles picks licks ah' too.

Speaker 7 (01:03:23):
Yeah, check out Wriggles Picks anywhere you get podcasts or
on YouTube, and uh yeah, silly show. That's just basically
a super famous comedian and actor and his buddy just
taking shots at me for forty five minutes a clip.
Oh well you play it that way. Yeah, I mean that,
legitimately is what that show is. And every now and

(01:03:43):
then there's a really great guest and they continue to
take shots at me. So the guests, who are often
aren't even in the same room and have no idea
who I am or where I am, they just join
in and start taking shots at me too.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
It's great, all right, that Alex.

Speaker 3 (01:03:57):
You're loading a shotgun every time you say it. That's great.
I'm getting a little worried.

Speaker 7 (01:04:02):
I mean, no like to have my comedy like idols,
you know, just somewhere in their house and you know,
Tennessee just taking shots at me amorphously and having no
idea who I am or anything about me.

Speaker 2 (01:04:12):
It doesn't hurt my feelings at all. His his thousand
yards stare just gains more yards every time, every time.

Speaker 7 (01:04:17):
When Nate Bargatzi just started yes ending how much of
an idiot I was, I was definitely super pumped on it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
Put the gun carry.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
I'm worried about you. Is is Regal going to the wedding?

Speaker 7 (01:04:35):
I mean I he very well may like he's legitimately
friends with Travis, and Travis is a really cool guy
in person, So I mean it's not outside the realm
of possibility.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
Crazy all right?

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
And for me, ill you know what, I've been watching
the The Return of Dexter, and it's quite good.

Speaker 6 (01:05:00):
Licks.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
Go watch that. If you need something to watch. It's
oh hey, let me do one quick anti lick. I'm
gonna do a reverse plug. Don't watch the M and
M movie stands. It was depressing, ship, Oh was it?

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Yes? It bummed me out.

Speaker 7 (01:05:14):
I mean maybe that won't be everyone's experience, but at
the end of it, I like had to stay up
an extra half hour and watch a comedy because I
was how sad.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
Dang Okay, oh yeah, I don't feel like yeah, that's
why I won't watch The Iron Claw.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
It's like everyone's like, oh, yeah, you gotta watch it.
It's so sad. I'm like, that's not.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
I won't watch it any very sad. Anybody named stan

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
