with the Laura Kane After Dark podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Finally got pearl after three years. After three probation, Officer
signed off, I'm good to go.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
You've been with us three of the six years of
this podcast. Yeah, and well I'll say a bunch of
things to you later. But I can't believe you stuck
around this long because I know we're me too.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
I don't mean that, like, wait a minute, what do
you mean we hey?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Continue?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Oh, I am surprised too, not in like you guys
are tough to deal with way, but just as in
like it's like the most random thing.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Ever, so random.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, but it's been fun though. I'm glad and stay
for the money, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I know believe me, we know that, and we are
currently holding. Brian did present this to us the last Halloween.
This haunted doll that he bought off of eBay, which
my roommate makes me keep in the garage.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
But pulled her out wait which.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
One Antonio, he's very superstitious about this Maria a sad look. No,
Marie doesn't, she's not scared of it. She doesn't. She
don't like it.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Oh my god, it's not real.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
See it's at night, it does you're you're not here
at night when I.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Just want I think it's actually kind of crappy doll.
Who wants to play with the doll where it's neck
is like like the hangman's news position.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Still supposedly is haunted and it belonged to somebody who
killed themselves or something like that. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Buy a demon from a forty six dollars on eBay
plus shipping.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
I'm holding what was a replica that I made of
my face, the exemblance. This is how I normally look,
So I was like, why wear it?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
And then if you can't see it? But before that,
the year before that, Brian brought in Aluiji board where
we conjured up a spirit named Hester, who I eventually
saw a couple months later, allegedly in my house at night. Yes, anyway, yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
When you present us like a serialized show, in hindsight,
all seems kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
So Brian, yes, thank you for these uh relics, these gifts, these.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Memories, those are good episodes.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yes, he's got all of his Keanu Reeves, George Lucas.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
And they're all and will I say they were the
first things I packed, cause I spend a good amount
of time wrapping them so that they didn't survive the trip.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Nice.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
So there's what haven't I got you yet? I got you,
George Lucas. Oh no, I got you, Steven Spielberg.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
That was a good one. Oh I got my good one. Yeah,
Willem Dafoe, Steven Spielberg, Keanu Reeves, Harrison Ford, the Harrison
Ford's the Crown Jewel.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
So yeah, you've got several things I can't really, I
am a delight.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And he even spelled your name right with the y.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah he did.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
I gave very specific instruction.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
You came through like a chant big.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
To me, it was like the full uh what's it called.
It was like the full like publicist package where it's
like the small print, the large print, the shirt and
the the uh the other thing.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
We kept thinking when whenever he'd come in, like the
next week, I have another thing for Brian from Keanu Reeves.
And then we're like, Keano probably thinks that Brian is dying.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
To make a wish kid. Yes, I expect him not
to have any hair.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
But anyway, I hope that this relationship ours was mutual. Anyway,
you may be wondering, Okay, Brian, is this this is
his last week? What's going to happen Monday? What are
(04:24):
they going to do?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
The show is going under. We're folding and liquidating. Everything
is on sale, including Eric.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That is not the case. The plan is to propel
this podcast into the stratosphere. And we have two candidates, yes,
and they're both. We got a lot of response from
the ad I posted on Indeed, which I got a
(04:51):
bill five what I'm not paying.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Paying that otherwise it goes collections. You know you pay
for the by the click.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
I did not know that.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So every morning I get on Indeed night, well, you
better click every everything I see?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You better. You better get on that boulevard girl.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So before we continue, and this is this is all
about Brian, This is Brian shows splash.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
What did you hear what I just said? No, you
better get on that boulevard girl, because and tonight because
you're dressed like it.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Oh, I.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Was in downtown. Uh, I was in like tru La
Vista the other day and I actually saw off like
the first time, like actual like street walkers did. Yeah,
it's kind of wild.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
What were they wearing?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
What you'd expect, not like nothing, not like lingerie, but
like you know, like like club clothing and like you know,
and just like standing on the corner like that's a
weird place to just hang out for dress like that.
I'm like, oh my god.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Did you see any cars roll up?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
No? I was like it was in passing. I was like,
oh god, I think that was like a prostitute with
this night day evening but like still light out, like
kind of early.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
I was like, that's why they call them ladies of
the night.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
So give me the exact address so you know I can.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I was on the what's that free way they goes
from Chula Vista, Like, no, no, fifty four. Yeah, I
was on the fifty four. That's good.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Oh my gosh, make it.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Want me to make you a sign like last girl
before freeway or something like that.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Last female stop before next thirty miles. Uh okay. So
obviously we need a producer, and so we have whittled
down a lot of candidates. A lot of them were
from like other countries that thought they could do this remotely.
(06:54):
I'm like, this ain't a remote job, right, you probably
could figure it out, but we want somebody here that's
in persons so exactly, I would like to introduce you
to two candidates right now. One of them is named Brandon. Brandon,
why don't you say hello and give us like a
little bit about you and why this job appealed to you. Well, yeah,
(07:23):
there we go.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
My name is Brandon. I'm a transplant from Boston, just
move back to San Diego. I love stand up comedy
and photography. Nice and the energy on this podcast really
excited me. I saw the posting on indeed checked it
out on YouTube and just loved you guys.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Vibe awesome, welcome.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, what is your what is your latest bit that
you're working on? Comedic wise, I.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Have a dark sense of humor, and so I'm trying
to figure out how to convey how funny. I think
it is the potential like inconvenient as someone else's death
has on you because you have to like reschedule your
whole week when someone dies.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Yeah that is a buzzkill.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Yeah, it's a buzz because I'm trying to find the
funny in that, you know, I like the challenges, but yeah,
that's just kind of where I'm at.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You can go, you can talk about open casket, how
you feel about that or should it be closed or
like I don't know.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
Well, I was thinking about like in laws, Like when
your in law dies, you might not be sad, but
like your wife's gonna be sad, and like that kind
of fucks up your week.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
So do you fake tears?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
And then you have to you gotta take on more
chores and then she gets used to that.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
True.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
True, you got to pick up the slack and how
long does the slack last?
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Yeah? Exactly, Like how long can you mourn and not
do your dishes?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Okay? I like this nugget? Okay, and then we have
Taylor Taylor?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Wow, no, I am, I'm sorry pretty close, uh Nick.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Okay, literally, I must have just seen that name.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Nick.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I'm sorry, I'm just about anything, you know, like, don't
tell her that I haven't gotten Taylor yet. That's a
new name for me and the zeitgeist of like what
I've been called before. But that's cool anyway, Nick, Okay, Yeah,
so my name is Nick. I. I'm originally from here,
(09:41):
uh San Diego kind of like SoCal Native. I was
interested in this because I I used to do a
podcast like forever ago. I stopped a while ago and
kind of pursued kind of more videography for a while.
And I'm in a band right now, so that's kind
of been like my two main like ventures. And then
(10:02):
I just kind of saw that pop up and I
was like, it'd be nice to get back into the
podcast world. I'm a huge fan of comedy podcast and
like the like, so you know, kind of jumping back
into this world to be seemed really fun.
Speaker 7 (10:13):
So figured why not give it a shot?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
And why did you stop your podcast?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
A that's a long story.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Well for me, like I I was doing a podcast
for a while where it was just very like, uh
we traveled around I would go crash on people's couches
and just do like very like wild.
Speaker 7 (10:37):
Just degenerate behavior.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
Oh yeah, it's and just you know for me, like
I hit an impast in my life where I just
kind of needed to get my life together and uh,
you know clean up. And for me at the time,
like my podcast and like that kind of lifestyle was
very detrimental to me. So I was like, you know what, like,
let's just put that, let's lay that to rest.
Speaker 8 (11:04):
You know.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I ended up doing another podcast when I was in college,
just with like some of my professors. I'd interview them
and be you know, kind of more academic. But yeah,
I'd say, like kind of more of like the reason
why I stopped my podcast was just like needed to
kind of get my life together a little bit and
you know, maybe toned down the generously just a dad.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
When you hear people say I am so excited, Nick,
I'm starting my own podcast, do you immediately go good
luck with that?
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Yeah? I don't say good luck with that. There's a
part of me where I internally just go like oh god.
Or I'll like my favorite is like I had this
a lot when I was in college, Like I had
to have friends. They'd be like, oh, I'm starting to podcast,
and I'd be like, well, what are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Through I don't know.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
We get stoned and just sit on the couch and
talk and I'm like, hmm, okay.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
Nice.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
I'm like, well, what do you record on there? Like
I don't know, like my phones? And I'm like, this
is gonna be great, dude, You're good. I was like, dude,
good luck with that. Man, Like, can you give me advice?
I'm like, ah, yeah, don't do it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
I'd be like stop recording.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
And second, what is your band called? And where can
we see you perform?
Speaker 6 (12:20):
Yeah, so my band is called Newport's and Nellie's. Uh,
Newport's like the cigarette and Martin Nelly's like Martin Nellie's
the apple cider.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
It's not it's just a goofy name. We're like a we've.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
Been saying we're like a Pacific South Coast emo band,
which is technically like Midwest emo and like Emo Revival.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Kind of horrible. Actually, it's so mid.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Guys. For my counterpart, yeah, that's so mean.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He said, I'm taking you a Midwest emo band.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I'd be like, dude, beach House Surf Curse, Like there's
a bunch of like that's come on, that's magic.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Well, I do feel like when you do say like
we're going to an Midwest email show, like the like
the idea in my head is like, Okay, we're going
to listen to a guy wine and complain about like
you know, uh stupid relationships or like you know, advanced
joy rip.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
Well, here's the lovely thing about Laura. If she went
to your concert, she'd spend most of her time at
the swag.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Merchant at the merchant leave after like one song.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
She left during Elton John before.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
His Yellow Brick Road finale with free ticket, I was
so pissed.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
I got free tickets, great seats, I listened to songs,
walked around boy a t shirts.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
On his last concert, his last tour.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Sometimes you don't need to see the whole thing a
few songs.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Sometimes sometimes you don't need to see him perform Yellow
Brick Road for the last time.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
I feel like you gotta enjoy, Like going to a
show is like I love watching the whole show its entirety.
You got to like soak in the music and the experience,
you know, like our best songs are actually like the
last two maybe three songs in our seat that.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Sweatd on course for and what the closing song is for.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
If you walked out after our first song, I wouldn't
blame you if you're like, yeah, that's a terrible band,
like because normally our first song then I is like
the worst song that.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
We Why would you do that? Why wouldn't you start
with your banger?
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Why would you leave halfway through a concert, you want
to bring people in. But most of the time, like
especially for bands, like when we're just opening, like no
one's listened to us anyways, you know, so like it
kind of makes sense just to have like our you know,
okay song start the vibe, kind of build up anticipation,
build up the energy, and then like we'll bring the
roof down on the last like two songs.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Brandon, what is one thing you've noticed thus far that
needs a lot of help?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Hey with the Midwest emo?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Or oh this podcast? Okay, you're an observer, you observe
the this is the second one that you have sat through.
Just curious, I can we can take it?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
I mean it's kind of off camera, but I would
say the underwear department needs a little bit of work.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I came down here and flashed everybody, it's my short.
It's got shorter because my butt must have gotten right.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Oh I knew they were referring to you a lot
of sausage out.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, oh yeah, okay, good point.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
I think that's the only only feedback I have. I
wasn't ready for that.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Usually usually I'm much more demureor.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
I really like the sausage on our show. I think
it's our main draw.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
It is like his pet. It's a pet. It's now look,
I'm gonna make you guys very uncomfortable. But Eric, Eric
is well endowed. Now, he doesn't wear any underwear and
ever ever, ever, that's just his thing. How However, he
(16:01):
wears the thinnest material known to man.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I can't help it that this thing was thinner than
I thought it was.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
So the other the other day, he was wearing like
blue thin nylon shorts and the camera. We didn't realize
what was going on, but we were getting all of
a sudden lots of comments, like Eric put that thing away.
It was like he had a pet dog sitting on
(16:31):
his like left leg. It was just flopped over.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
It was.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
You could see people pay for this.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Yeah, but it was like YouTube. YouTube sends you a letter.
It says, hey, buddy, you can't run the only fans
account on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Right, and where's my portion of it? We share the proceeds, mister.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Listen, I give you the badges.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
So there's your portion the badges. Oh oh okay, all right,
we're even worried. Thank you guys for coming in we uh,
thank you for doing this, and I hope you are
enjoying it so far.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
But very interesting for sure.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
It's a great, very random night. But I have no complaints, no.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Regrets, random and interesting. If I saw that in a text,
I would immediately think that was a negative.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Were you referring to her or me?
Speaker 7 (17:33):
We could go either way on that.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
I mean, the first thing that I did interacting with
was like shaking hand and like keep an eye contact.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I want you to be completely honest, both not too honest,
just mostly honest. I do this all the time, so
this is not anything out of their wheelhouse, out of
the two of us, and be honest. It won't hurt
her feelings. I trust me.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
It might be.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
One and two who so far is number one in
your opinion, and who's number two, meaning who's more talented
and who's more enjoyable, and then who's next go.
Speaker 6 (18:21):
It's okay, I don't know, that's a such a hard
like way to label it, just like who's best and
who's not exactly.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
No, we're both good. We're both good, but who's just
a little bit better? From what you've seen I do
this to them.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
I feel like it depends on what kind of night
you want to have. I think this night, Eric's giving
me more of like vodka red Bull, where you might
be like a shot at tequila.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I kind of don't know if that means good, like
I'm better.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I feel like both, but way better but different. I
think I'm more animated.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I think he likes you better than he likes me.
You know what I read into that. I read it
in that and that's fine, That's totally fine.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
I don't know if I would say that you're more
animated Eric, like it's been a good mix tonight, Like
it's definitely like. I can't say that like one like
you have to. I hate making decisions like this.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I know, but it's required.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
I think I gotta go with Eric too.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
I am, I am, I am, of course, of course,
because you know why, he's the talent.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I will say, this is the funniest running gag we have.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
He is. I can't believe this.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm going to scrub her name off here, Marquis.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You can't wait to scrub the name.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I will say, I you know what, I think that
if we're making an alcohol analogy, I think Eric is
like three dirty martinis that he drank half of one
and spilled the rest. And I think Laura is is
she like accidentally had a sip of someone's roof fee
drink but didn't realize it and got really loopy and
what started dancing?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Okay, well, mess So Eric's so far as number one,
and that's fine.
Speaker 7 (20:15):
And it's subject to change.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Obviously, And you know what that gives me fuel? What
did you just do?
Speaker 8 (20:26):
What?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
This gives me fuel to be better and funnier and
prove you guys wrong. Okay, So anyway, all right, Brian,
you might as well stay up here because I'm going
to read you a little something and then we want
you to open up your card. And then I think
(20:49):
Eric has something for you or he wants to throw
something out there. Okay, so here we go. If one
of you would hit one of those buttons that says like,
I don't know, Halle, it could be any music het the.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
One that says scream and crank up.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Then its whatever. Oh before that, we have to call
anti dodoo.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
Oh yeah, but go.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Ahead and play. Okay, Okay, this is my mom's best
friend since high school and she I want her to
give Brian a wise piece of eighty five year old
woman advice. Auntie Doodoo has smoked her whole life. She
drinks cocktails and takes a marijuana gummy in five minutes.
(21:45):
She's about to take it, so we need to get
on the phone fast because she gets really wasted. But
we love her to death, and she's really funny. But
she's got a really good smoker's voice, and she has
good advice. All right, here she goes are on the road. Here,
we're on the road. Caster is a road caster? Turned out.
Speaker 9 (22:08):
There, We got my baby girl.
Speaker 3 (22:18):

You know what? Auntie Dude also likes Eric more than
she likes me.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yes, I've noticed that, and I feel like it's forced.

to my attention.

well every once in a while.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Now we're t minus three minutes from gummy time, so
we need to make this quick.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
I don't take my gummies until nine thirty. You know that.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I thought it was at nine.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
No, I take my gummy at nine thirty.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Oh, so we got time.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
We have time now. Our producer, who we've loved and
he's he's been the greatest producer.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
We've loved, we love, we love.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Three years he's been with us, is leaving. This is
his last night. He's moving across the country to be
with his family.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Oh. I thought he got sick of you guys.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Well, that happened a long time ago. But he still
comes to work for some reason.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I haven't told him, but that might be part of
the reason.
Speaker 9 (23:52):
God ANSI doo dooo.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
I want to know if you and your I won't
say your age because we're not allowed to because God
forbid God, would I know twenty one? I know in
your years. I would love for you to give Brian,
who's twenty five, a piece of advice that he could
take with.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
In twenty five. And I'm probably really really.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Cute, yes, and anti doo doo.
Speaker 9 (24:24):
Like older women.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
You know. I will say, I do love your retirement lifestyle,
which I hope to emulate, which is just gambling, smoking,
and drinking. That is your that's my role model for that.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So she it's the best. She's like living her dream.
It's the happiest.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
She's right, And I don't live my dream in Portland, Oregon,
the shithole of the state.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
There you go, she comes back down to the Palm
Springs area.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
I can't stand it.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
We're going to come see you.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
We are, Laura and I are going to come and
see you.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
But when are you gonna come?
Speaker 1 (25:01):
Well?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
Can can I sleep in bed with you?
Speaker 8 (25:04):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
No? Eric snores and then who knows what antio?
Speaker 8 (25:10):
Oh? Well, your mother says she does, and she says
I do, and so that's why we sleep in the
separate bedroom. We never never, never sleep in the same bed.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Well, it's good that Laura and I both snore, so
we'll drown each other out.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Now I have all your years, Auntie Dodo, what advice
do you have for young twenty five year old Brian
who's off to new ventures in his life.
Speaker 8 (25:39):
Stay out of the goddamn politics. That's not bad, Okay, okay,
I'm just I am so sick of it. I'm just
ready to scream, and up here in this god forsaken place,
of Oregon. I can't wait to get out of here.
But that's all they talk about. It is stupid fights
and brawls downtown Portland and all the drugs of the
(26:00):
Antifa and blah blah blah blah blah. I don't want
to get into it.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Well, you may be in a uniquely terrible place for
that anti doodoo.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yes, Darling, we don't need to talk about your obsession
with Fox News and all that. Let's not go there.
We don't. We're not a political hell uplaora man? Can
we do something non political?
Speaker 8 (26:23):
Just oh my god, I'm telling you That's what I'm
telling your is that Ryan?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Oh yeah, don't stay out of politics? Absolutely stay out
of it.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
I will.
Speaker 8 (26:36):
I'm disgusting and discouraging.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
So I should probably give back my Antifa card then yeah,
care remember but I mean.
Speaker 8 (26:46):
Move to Portland.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Well it's I mean, if it's a bad idea, I
guess they you know, probably should reconsider it.
Speaker 8 (26:52):
Just stay this awful okay, anyway.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
We need to like stop before this because this will
go on and get worries.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
But you know, I want I want Brian to just
stay out of politics and have fun.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
If you and will do.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Why is fun in your opinion for a twenty five year.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Old guy, smoking, drinking and gambling.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
That does sound pretty fun, So.
Speaker 8 (27:17):
Leave out the drinking.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
That's the start of the fun.
Speaker 8 (27:22):
Should he should? He?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Should? He explore dating older women? Okay, she mentioned it?
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Well, hell no? Why why would you want to date
an old bag when you're twenty five years old?
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Who is?
Speaker 8 (27:38):
Hell no?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Who said dating?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
What? Who said jating? What should he do for it?
Speaker 2 (27:50):
I'll keep all of the good advice in mind.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Yes, well, my my son is older than you are,
so you know, so is mine and he and Laura
grew up together. And your son is older. Yes, I know,
it's come on, Charlie is eight.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
He's twenty five too, but he's a little older than Brian.
But anyway, we won't go there, but Auntie do thank
you so much. We love you and we're going to
see you.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
When are you coming back to Springs?
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Well, me and my mom are going to go, and
you want to come? MIA's out there?
Speaker 8 (28:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
All right?
Speaker 4 (28:31):
Okay, anyway, so I'll have Laura's publicist called my publicist.
Speaker 9 (28:35):
Oh shit, I know.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Eric thinks he's the ship. He's the talent in this room.
Tell Auntie do to a joke before? Will you hang
up a naughty one?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Because she's like, okay, a naughty one.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Okay, what does a girl from Arkansas on our first date?
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Schullet pig?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Get off me, Dad, you're crushing my cigarettes?

Shit, when you got to the ball, I can't even imagine.
Speaker 3 (29:40):

a gagging sound.
Speaker 8 (29:55):
I thought you were making a sound of a pig.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Oh I love you.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Well done.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Okay, So my mom is already out smoking SIGs and
doing it, so we're not going to be.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
That's honestly, that's all the advice I need.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
To stay out of politics.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Oh oh, just have your evening.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
If we would have continued, oh she would have gone.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I was I was tempted to egg it all a
little bit because it's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
I know, but it was really thank you for not
doing that because she.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
Oh, why is she in Portland.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Because that's where her son lives. So she lives there
half the time, and then she lives in Palm Springs.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
She's living in like, I mean, probably her version of Hell, and.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Her son is the complete opposite.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
And he's like liberals like Portland. I mean, look, Portland
is a crazy place. Don't get me wrong. That is
a crazy place.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, he loves where he lives and he's on He's
the complete different end of the political spectrum, that's mom.
And it has created friction big time.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
If I was like this is my these are my people,
it's still how Portland is. Portland is cool, Portland has
some issues.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Well, they definitely have their own little vibe. And I
kind of like, sure, all right, I'm going to read
you a little well, no, actually, open up your gift first,
I'll read you something, and then Eric has something right, Yeah,
sit down, Oh on the couch, Brian's last time on
the couch. I don't like this at all. Okay, Mmm,
(31:50):
the pros Act does not allow me to cry. I
don't know for some reason.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
It's good to know. Oh, I still with cash. You
can keep that, keep the card.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
You're gonna take the catch kick the card.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
I thought that was a really good joke. AnyWho, mm hmm,
you mean to read out loud?
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I don't know if you want to. Yeah, I'll read
it out loud everybody, unless you don't want him to.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Okay, Yeah, no, I'm not going to. Okay, this will
be a private moment for a all right.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
In that case, I will read loud. I will read
you something that I put together. Gather round for the
tale of a man so emotionally bound he once hugged
a cactus and the cactus said too much. We speak
(32:51):
of Brian. Producer Enigma Iceberg, a man so stoic, sirih
calls him when she needs emotional support. He's leaving our show,
not because of fame, fortune or creative growth, but because
he realized we're all just to Laura canish. Brian doesn't
(33:13):
feel feelings. He analyzes them. He breaks them down into spreadsheets,
uses human Emotions, Volume one. When Laura says, I just
love you guys, Brian rulls his eyes. It's something he
does despise. What a surprise. Brian, You're leaving us and
(33:37):
we'll miss you like mad beneath that frosty exterior. Come on,
you've got to be a little sad. I bet you
love us so much it hurts, So send out the alerts.
Fly free, forty year old guy in his twenty through
(34:01):
the negativity and the relentless teasing, you make funnies and
you make us smile, and you're a good guy. Maybe
your goodbye gift will and vibe involve a fly from
my pants? Does that make any sense?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
No? No, but I also don't think I want to know.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Well, Eric take it from there.
Speaker 10 (34:31):
Before we begin. This next segment is extremely awkward. Laura
and Eric devise an incredibly uncomfortable prank to play on
producer Brian. He does not approve of this prank. This
segment had to be trimmed down because it is so awkward.
The topic that is brought up is entirely a joke.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Now, now, everybody, let's just be calm and I want
you to.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Gird your law. Hunk her down, put a seatbelt on.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
I'm going to shut up now.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
So Laura and I were talking about what to get
you as a parting gift, and it.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Was hard because we don't want to give you something
that you have to pack and take with you, right because.
Speaker 4 (35:20):
You're flying and you know, I don't think we could
fit Keanu Reeves in your suitcase. So I was suggesting things,
and because Laura gambled all her money at the casino,
we decided that using Nature's credit card was a better idea.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Eric's idea. By the way.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Well I suggested it.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
No, I can tell you're feeling uncomfortable about it.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Well, now I'm starting to sweat.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Okay, what was the Okay? Continue?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
So as your party gift, Laura's offering you of.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
We're talking about it. We're discussing it. I don't know
if I've offered it yet, but let's talk.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Go.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
So you know when she was having all those dreams about.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
You, he put a spell on me from an Etsy.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
Wings I love spell from an Etsy wish, which so
Laura would love for you.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
She can keep the gift, just.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
Keep going.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
So Laura wants you to go out with a bang.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Did someone fort that that was Elvis snoring?
Speaker 3 (36:49):
So she wants to give you a final bag.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Now listen, way way way you're saying this all wrong.
What now, I'm nervous you are. Eric brought this up
without me ever saying anything. Now, It's been no joke
that Brian and I have had a tiny little flirtation
(37:13):
going on the last couple of weeks in a little way. Now,
we did spend the night in the same bed at
the Lafayette. Nothing happened at all, as it should not have,
like you know, properly. However, I was thinking.
Speaker 4 (37:35):
No, Marie and I got more action than you, and
that is definitely true.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
That was actually it was actually pretty steamy in that bud.
So I'm not sure I'm gonna leave this segment in
the podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Now listen, no you are oh, come on, this is me.
You're not even You're not. This isn't your idea or you.
You don't even have to comment on it, so you
are safe. Now. I need to get my groove back,
stell and eater groove back. All right. I feel like
(38:08):
I'm on a dating app right now, and I am
horrified at the thought of ever like.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
It looks like he wants to kill himself right now.
I'm sweating.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
This is hence, this is like, this is what I
live for.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
If this plays out like I think, I like, there's
no way this is thying and.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
I am literally sitting in a pool.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Cut so fast. This is a segment we've ever done.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Now, let's forget about age. Let's think about how we'll
never see each other again. No, I mean for real,
when you move away, I'm never going to see you again.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
The joke was fun before the and now that joke
is past.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
You mean to tell me correct that if I were
to say, no, I don't believe you. If I were
to say, hey, Brian, as you're going away gift, I
will let you have this. No, No, I'm not even
(39:16):
saying like you could do whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
No, No, I'm good, Thank you. Wow, what a terrible segment.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Brian, I don't believe you. Eric even said to me
the following sentence, and he was not kidding.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
Hold on, I'm waiting for the twist because I know that,
like there's like an extra punchline coming.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Because I don't know if because this was his idea,
he goes, you know what, I'll just let you guys
have our play, have my place, and then I'll go
to a movie and then I'll be done.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
What No, Oh my god, Oh I didn't say that,
he did. I let that joke it way too said,
I said, you gotta be I ran that too far.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Let's think about something. You are too worried about what
other people think.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
My stomach is not this is I just don't know
who this is fun for now.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Granted it could get down to brass tacks and I
would we'd be right there, and I might chicken out
because there's a there's.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
A huge cham chickening out right now.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
No, yeah, no, you have officially hurt my feelings.
Speaker 2 (40:40):
I'm sorry, Marie. Don't take her sight on this. This
is you know this is crazy, Marie.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
You are gonna pass this up. Yeah, let me just
say something, mister. I'm sweating bullets down my back, and
but you are all about it, like.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
I feel like so much.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
That caught this well hours ago. Marie. Don't sit there
looking like you're shot from here to see.
Speaker 2 (41:19):
You should have known better than this.
Speaker 3 (41:21):
She's calling us.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
It was all about it. I don't know if I
do have the balls, but but I'm open.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Also, Okay, if this was the real thing, why would
we be having this conversation on a podcast.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Because that's what you do. Cons It makes it interesting.
Don't you think people are listening right now to see
what happens this part.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
This part is not seen the light of day.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Oh it is.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
I'm I'm sweat.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
This was your For some reason, when you say it, it
sounds so much worse.
Speaker 2 (42:05):
We're gonna have such a tense conversation when this turns off.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Oh my god, this was your idea.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
It just sounds a lot worse when you say it.
I actually, Frank, you're pimp right now.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
There's no mind involved.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
I'm looking at myself in the monitor. I look more
like Willie Nelson than I do your pimp.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
So you're not my pimp. You're not acting like my pimp,
although you did offer me your police anyway, enough of that,
let's just say that's see this table right here.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
It's on the table, Brian, thank you for the generous,
generous offer, because he.
Speaker 4 (42:44):
And I are going to DejaVu right after we get
out of here, all right, Will.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
You admit that it is true there has been a
shift in the way we talked to each other in
the last couple of weeks since the Etsy Witch spell.
Speaker 2 (43:02):
Sure, definitely jokingly for sure, which also when I add
that communication consists of three texts a week, as in,
I'm sorry, the podcast is up now, I forgot to
do it. Okay, it's up now, and then mondays, so, yes.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
My spidy senses are telling me that you are a
little bit this has peaked your interest a little bit.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
I can firmly say, sitting between you that I can
feel the frost emanating from his body.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Also, I'm going to say, just for future reference, in
case you decided to do this again to an unsuspecting producer,
if there was interest, hold on, if there was interest,
this just killed it so hard.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
I just remember, these two guys have girlfriends.
Speaker 2 (43:53):
So I pulled now, hold on for the record. I
pulled Marie and Erica aside, and I said, how bad
is she going to make this? Because we got new
people here who need to be eased in. And He's like,
I'm not going to say, but this is bad.
Speaker 8 (44:04):
I was.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Like, oh Jesus, they seem fine.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
You guys have sweat like at all anywhere just now, yeah,
sweat anywhere.
Speaker 6 (44:16):
And Eric and I are on the same level right now, yeah,
right here, right, yeah, it's a swimming pool over here.
Speaker 5 (44:25):
I'm pretty comfortable are you Yeah, yeah, she pished the
idea a few minutes ago.
Speaker 2 (44:30):
I was like, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Do you think he's uh, he's saying all that he's
saying just so he looks good on camera.
Speaker 5 (44:37):
No, like you said, like even if he was interested,
this isn't a good play for him. So on camera
he has to say no. Of course, off camera.
Speaker 2 (44:45):
Like, I'll still say no, like I said, if this
is the way to kill it.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
So this was my grand offering to you because it's not, though,
all right? So that said, I was denied. Fine, let's
move on. Okay, one final thing, Brian, why don't you
(45:11):
say your final words to our listeners?
Speaker 2 (45:15):
It would have been a lot nicer like five minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (45:18):
Just a race. Whatever just happened, So get over it.
Come on, show business is show business? Show business?
Speaker 2 (45:24):
I need you to punish me as I forget it
or something? Can I No? Oh boy, you should let
me stand my piece before you did that. Oh my god. Okay,
what's the.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (45:41):
Bo?
Speaker 2 (45:41):
It's been a fun three years, see you later. No,

with you guys and coming to see you as I
won't say family, because we're definitely just friends. We're fly
You just propositioned your family MINGO give me my stand
(46:08):
up comedy moment right there. Anyways, we've become great friends.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
True.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
I've looked forward to coming here every Monday. And although
I may have the emotional depth, well, I would say
the emotional range of a brick wall. I am an
emotional being, I just don't show it, I guess for
a good reason. I'm starting to believe. But it's been fun.
I'm on too. Uh. I won't say greater, but I'm
(46:36):
on the different things. And I'll look back on this
fondly and all the friends I may along the way,
and wish you guys are the best, cause I know
you guys will still be here doing your thing. And
maybe I'll watch from time to time, probably not, oh gosh,
because you know, once you see how the pasta is.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
I go, I'm gonna call you, yeah every day.

He clearly like he always has. I mean no, I
mean that has never changed.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
It's not gonna change the house. Anyways. Anyways, good luck
to my successor and all successors after I've set the
bar so high the two of you.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
I'm not I will not act like this with you guys.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
I didn't get that lucky, So you've this.
Speaker 1 (47:32):
Is three years of earning this uncomfortableness.
Speaker 6 (47:37):
I'll make a note of not doing any love spells.
Speaker 7 (47:41):
I'll keep it above board.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
Only I'm a sensitive It affects me. I believe in
this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (47:49):
I don't want to go back and watch that episode.
I don't want to recap that.
Speaker 1 (47:55):
Okay, tell what has been? What was your favorite episode
throughout your career? Here?
Speaker 2 (48:04):
Your career, there's a couple of stand out to me.
I think the first time we had Michael Brown on
was really fun. San Diegogos it was a really good one.
He brought cool photos. The the one we did live
from the Cosmopoultan was fun. Didn't see anything, but that
was a neat concept. And then one of our Halloween episodes,
for sure, probably the Ouji board one that was a
(48:26):
little more fun.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
We ate the chip, the hottest chip that ever, well,
we ate corners of it, not not including this episode.
What was your most favorite?
Speaker 2 (48:42):
Yes, I don't want to throw anyone under the bus,
but I think we all know what it is.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah, the caravan of the Cavalcade of Crazy.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Yeah. Oh that was such a.
Speaker 1 (48:54):
We've done so we've done six hundred episodes.
Speaker 2 (48:58):
That was by far the worst one ever.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
I wanted to shoot Eric after that night, I know,
and he never does he loves I don't know how
I got.
Speaker 1 (49:08):
So when this is over tonight, do you guys want
to do anything? Yeah, Marie whatever, You're not even Uh,
