Speaker 2: a ride? This is Chris Fairbanks.
Speaker 1: And this is Karen Kilgariff.

Speaker 2: boundary is, but we're right in the middle of Echo
Speaker 2: Park and Silver silver Lake, silver Lake, Bolvar, Silver Lake
Speaker 2: Boulevard and and it is the area featured in the
Speaker 2: movie Training Day. It is my neighborhood and and I
Speaker 2: love it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is where all the beautiful hip people are
Speaker 3: and all the you know, yeah, all that where.
Speaker 1: The action is.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't know that when I was leaving
Speaker 2: Venice Beach, I was moving somewhere i'd be confronted by
Speaker 2: my age because I feel like I moved to like
Speaker 2: the young hip part of town.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but as you can tell, I've adjusted accordingly and
Speaker 2: I hipped it up.
Speaker 1: You've definitely stopped crying about it, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've started cuffing my pants.
Speaker 1: You dried your eyes, Yes.
Speaker 2: Quit crying because I was getting tears in the cuffs
Speaker 2: of my pants.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And yeah, everyone's like, oh, that guy, he must be
Speaker 2: he's one of our peers, he's our age. They don't
Speaker 2: know if all these creams at home that I put
Speaker 2: on my face.
Speaker 1: Right, you've tricked them all.
Speaker 2: Look the pedestrians dance on street corners to themselves.
Speaker 3: Everybody's tiktoking around, ready to be on cameras.
Speaker 2: Neighborhood is filled with music, laughter. Yes, it's the joyous area.
Speaker 3: There's the children at a little school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can hear their laughs often the day
Speaker 2: stens every morning. That's that's my rooster.
Speaker 3: I used to I used to live in this neighborhood,
Speaker 3: very close to where we are, and hearing school bells
Speaker 3: is actually kind of a fun way to mark time.
Speaker 1: If you're home on a this one.
Speaker 2: No, next one, and next one, it will if you
Speaker 2: had funny. It's this one. It's as straight. Yeah, school bells,
Speaker 2: you know they get mixed reviews. It's it's however, you
Speaker 2: were traumatized or not traumatized as a child.
Speaker 3: Right, and if you work in and out of the home,
Speaker 3: in or out of the home.
Speaker 2: Or yeah, or like me, have you spent years ringing
Speaker 2: a bell for a living?
Speaker 1: Oh you were Santa Claus?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I rang bells for the Salvation Army. Is
Speaker 2: that Reggie's house? He's having some work done.
Speaker 1: Well, that's a lot of work.
Speaker 2: That's a nice patio, though.
Speaker 1: I thought it was up here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, yeah, you're right. I randomly picked a house,
Speaker 2: so I think you're probably right.
Speaker 1: Is that the number we're looking for you?
Speaker 2: I think Reggie Wats, our guest today, has little windows
Speaker 2: in its fence. Look at that.
Speaker 1: You can't say that, all right?
Speaker 2: Reggie Watts has a fence, and I will describe it
Speaker 2: no further.
Speaker 1: His garbage cans are all the same as everybody else's.
Speaker 2: I'm very Yes, there's nothing that is describable about this place.
Speaker 3: No, yes, except that it used to be my neighborhood.
Speaker 3: This is where Pete and I lived five doors down
Speaker 3: and it's a great neighborhood, except for the police helicopters.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on the band Three Doors Down?
Speaker 1: I can't remember, nor.
Speaker 2: Can I, And like most people, you try and conjure
Speaker 2: a tune by them and you come up with third
Speaker 2: eyed blind fel.
Speaker 1: That's automatically what happens every time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no one can remember now Three Doors Down?
Speaker 4: Wash?
Speaker 2: Will you still call me Superman? Oh? It's so funny.
Speaker 2: Everyone's fascination with Superman, people like Seinfeld and adult man
Speaker 2: in a Superman shirt is something you still see often, true, true, which,
Speaker 2: oddly enough, a Superman shirt on a man is kryptonite
Speaker 2: to the ladies. Ironically, isn't it ironic?
Speaker 1: Don't you think?
Speaker 2: I wonder if Alanis feels bad that she didn't know
Speaker 2: what the word meant when writing that song, because she
Speaker 2: does now, she sure does. It takes a while, though,
Speaker 2: in her defense, to understand irony is a complicated thing.
Speaker 2: People confuse it for coincidence.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, and also, I think when you're writing a
Speaker 3: song like that, you just kind of get carried away
Speaker 3: with the vibe you're coming out with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had the studio vibe.
Speaker 3: You just don't give a shit that nothing's tracking? Really, yeah, grammatically, let's.
Speaker 2: See if we're speaking of tracking.
Speaker 1: I've never put on my blinkers before. Are you seeing it? Oh?
Speaker 2: Wow, it's just on the little iPad. It's like you're
Speaker 2: being forced to work on the computer while you drive. Yeah,
Speaker 2: can you get photoshop on this?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I've actually put your head on top of the Three
Speaker 3: Doors Down album and it.
Speaker 2: Is I knew because I always bring that band.
Speaker 3: Up and you, Oh, do you love to reference them?
Speaker 2: I want something else to get me through this semi
Speaker 2: charm type of life. Babe, babe, just lyrics? Do we
Speaker 2: get sued for just lyrics?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I think we can talk out lyrics. Jim. Let us know.
Speaker 3: Jim is the lawyer who clears all our music songs.
Speaker 2: There is an image of your dash that is very
Speaker 2: realistic and all white, and it appears to suggest we're
Speaker 2: being gassed right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like very lightly though.
Speaker 2: Yes, just a light refreshing gas.
Speaker 1: Just very beautiful.
Speaker 3: And then it gets more intense when when you turn
Speaker 3: the number up.
Speaker 2: Stop describing my farts. I always turned to a child.
Speaker 1: You just like it, that's all.
Speaker 2: I like looking back on life and remembering the way
Speaker 2: my brain worked back then. I'm nostalgic for it, so
Speaker 2: I'm very immature.
Speaker 1: You don't ever have to look back.
Speaker 2: You can live in the now, in the your child
Speaker 2: that I am.
Speaker 1: Now fart now is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: When I lived here, that house wasn't here. Like many
Speaker 3: of these houses have been flipped beautifully.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that house looks like they finished it last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really nice.
Speaker 2: It's interesting. I always It's one of those things I
Speaker 2: like to look at, just knowing full well I probably
Speaker 2: won't own one anytime soon. I'm okay with.
Speaker 1: That though, I mean, no one can these days. I
Speaker 1: like insane the.
Speaker 2: Freedom of knowing that I can pick up and leave
Speaker 2: my apartment whenever I want. If you know, it's an
Speaker 2: opportunity if need be, if need be.
Speaker 1: If you're a traveling man.
Speaker 2: I'm a lot like an international spy in that way. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I have nothing holding me back from just going to
Speaker 2: Berlin except.
Speaker 3: Your little yellow hat.
Speaker 1: It's just very high res.
Speaker 2: This little hat is my favorite hat.
Speaker 3: Karen going just saying for a spy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, you can't very wearing bright colors.
Speaker 2: As we know, the supplies dabble mostly in earth tones.
Speaker 1: They have to they have to blend, yeah.
Speaker 2: With the foliage and the mauve of the sky.
Speaker 1: I like the hat though, it looks good.
Speaker 2: Thank you. I wasn't. I guess I was kind of
Speaker 2: forcing a compliment, but I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Well, that's okay.
Speaker 2: It's from the sub Pop store in the Seattle Airport.
Speaker 2: Uh oh hm, I went there. I didn't even have
Speaker 2: a flight.
Speaker 3: You just shopped at the airport. Look.
Speaker 2: I see what new release books there are and cassette
Speaker 2: tapes they have smart but it is a beautiful store.
Speaker 3: Subpop really reigns supreme like in the late nineties early
Speaker 3: aughts in a way that they deserve to have an
Speaker 3: airport store now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you people always when I would wear the
Speaker 2: hat given to me by one of the members of
Speaker 2: Sleeeder Kinney, No, yeah, not personally. It was in a
Speaker 2: bad drummer, I'm not I think maybe yes.
Speaker 1: Did she have a really good bob, like a very
Speaker 1: solid bangs across?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think she was wearing a little
Speaker 2: yellow hat.
Speaker 1: Did she have hair like yours? A little curly, a little.
Speaker 2: Like again, multiple hats every day of this adult podcast camp.
Speaker 2: But there was a schwag bag from sub pop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh got it?
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, what bands are still on sub pop?
Speaker 2: Isn't that a thing of the past. No, so many
Speaker 2: current great bands are still on sub pop records. Do
Speaker 2: you think you should go check it out? Listener?
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's all support them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a girl from subpop right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know joke.
Speaker 3: I think Reggie just pulled into his own driveway?
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
Speaker 4: Look?
Speaker 1: I believe someone did.
Speaker 2: Someone did.
Speaker 3: That's hilarious.
Speaker 2: What if we just thwarted a burglary.
Speaker 1: A burgallery?
Speaker 2: I think we just thwarted a burglary. Oh God, that
Speaker 2: burgolary was in progress until we thwarted it.
Speaker 3: This burglar pulls up right to the nest camera and
Speaker 3: it's like, hey, if you didn't get my license plate before,
Speaker 3: I'm right in the driveway.
Speaker 2: You know why they're unsuccessful, bright yellow burglar masks.
Speaker 1: See I told you, Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 2: Good for crime. No, you gotta go black. What if
Speaker 2: he comes in and Reggie's Superman.
Speaker 3: That's just a whole new vibe from Reggie. Wats that
Speaker 3: people have never gotten?
Speaker 2: I've never I've known him pretty well. We do shows
Speaker 2: together on Christmas and Montana.
Speaker 1: We're both from Montana, fellow Montana.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I have never seen the emotion of anger
Speaker 2: God near him, not even near him, which means he
Speaker 2: doesn't emit it and no one puts it towards him.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not. He doesn't have a lot of anger
Speaker 2: in his life.
Speaker 3: And he speaks multiple languages, which I think is really cool.
Speaker 2: French, German, American.
Speaker 1: American English, British English.
Speaker 2: There's some Spanish in there also. And there are times
Speaker 2: in his act where, until I saw the info sheet,
Speaker 2: I thought he was just speaking a language like Gibberish
Speaker 2: that sounded like French when he was because he's and
Speaker 2: now I know he's just speaking fluent French. Oh wow
Speaker 2: during his act. I've seen him do when he does
Speaker 2: songs during shows German like metal, and it totally sounds like.
Speaker 3: A saw on him standing on the street way back
Speaker 3: behind us.
Speaker 2: It's funny because you're pointing, I guess out a reflection.
Speaker 2: You're pointing at the mirror. I really thought you were pointing.
Speaker 1: At that sense right there.
Speaker 2: That's not him standing within the wood grain of that fence.
Speaker 2: Is it hallucinating he took drugs?
Speaker 1: Again?
Speaker 2: I'm told you we're podcasting not going to cook?
Speaker 3: Is he in the wood of the fence.
Speaker 2: Here we go again. No, that's an owl.
Speaker 1: Stop it.
Speaker 2: The only face you will ever find, okay, perfect in
Speaker 2: a grain of wood is an owl.
Speaker 3: I looked out my own rearview mirror instead of trying
Speaker 3: to look at it in yours, and that is absolutely
Speaker 3: not I think that's a middle aged white lady what
Speaker 3: I was looking at.
Speaker 2: Oh. Yes, there's a lot of just people roaming around
Speaker 2: the car because they're impressed with how well you keep
Speaker 2: it up.
Speaker 1: For a black cart. It's pretty clean.
Speaker 2: There isn't a speca dirt. That group over there is saying.
Speaker 1: All hip, all cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, if I've ever gotten stinky from anyone, it
Speaker 2: was that lady that.
Speaker 1: This is a supermodel.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are pretty much any part of town, though,
Speaker 2: you're going to run into this town as lousy with
Speaker 2: supermodels and.
Speaker 3: Also people that if you get to sinkuy from anybody
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles and it makes you feel bad, go
Speaker 3: ahead and look at their license plate. That person was
Speaker 3: from New Mexico. So the problem is their own right
Speaker 3: and we must leave it where it.
Speaker 2: Is right with them. The main problem being they're hiding
Speaker 2: so many UFOs.
Speaker 1: They're lying to the government and they're lying to themselves.
Speaker 2: I was driving with David Hansberger in New Mexico after
Speaker 2: Doug Mellard's wedding to our friend Flynn and his wife.
Speaker 2: Now after the wedding, and we just ended up on
Speaker 2: the UFO the Philadelphia Project. Oh remember that movie with
Speaker 2: the I vaguely remember it, but there were soldiers with
Speaker 2: guns and giant hangars and we're like, what's in there UFOs?
Speaker 2: And he said, eh, maybe, and which I take as
Speaker 2: a yes. The guy with the gun says maybe. You know,
Speaker 2: he's just beaten around the bush.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's actually telling you the truth.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, so you heard it here first confirmation. Aliens
Speaker 2: are real and living in New Mexico and they send
Speaker 2: very symmetrical humans here to be photographed professionally.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would make sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Are you saying like show business people.
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying the girl that just drove by that
Speaker 2: we thought was a model is actually an alien. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: you can tell because they're very symmetrical. Aliens overdo it
Speaker 2: when they make humans and plant them on Earth. They
Speaker 2: make them very symmetrical.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and kind of hypnotic.
Speaker 2: They got a beauty mark on this bam. It's also
Speaker 2: on the other cheek.
Speaker 1: Bam. Yeah, that's just two big moles.
Speaker 3: It's weird when you're waiting because any moment, he could come,
Speaker 3: any moment, and it affects the conversation.
Speaker 2: You and I don't want to get into anything deep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I'm three quarters listening. Would I apologize?
Speaker 2: Oh no, Well, all I'm doing is tossing out a
Speaker 2: bunch of foul balls because if I hit a homer.
Speaker 1: What a waste.
Speaker 2: And Reggie gets in, it's like, can you give us
Speaker 2: a minute? Yeah, because we have to finish.
Speaker 1: We're having a private mode of comedy. You know that's
Speaker 1: bad hosting. Yeah, yeah it is.
Speaker 2: You got to keep everything very temporary, very flippant.
Speaker 3: You got to keep it flexible and fresh. And the
Speaker 3: thing you love to yell, you got to keep it loose, right,
Speaker 3: like to.
Speaker 1: Yell at even loose.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like to yell at at joggers as I passed them,
Speaker 2: immediately start stretching. Keep it loose, keep it silly goose.
Speaker 2: They love it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No one's offended when called a silly goose.
Speaker 1: You know when they're offended is when you shush them.
Speaker 2: Yes, no one likes that, especially when you extend your
Speaker 2: arm and touch your finger to their lives.
Speaker 3: You physically shush with your finger them.
Speaker 2: Yes, do not physically shush with your finger.
Speaker 3: Them them won't like it.
Speaker 2: Them don't. Well, are we sure we're at the right
Speaker 2: house that I've described in detail, which we've edited out.
Speaker 3: I looked at it in Google three D maps and
Speaker 3: literally counted the houses between my old.
Speaker 1: House and his house.
Speaker 3: So I feel like, if it's not this house, it's
Speaker 3: this house, because so he will either be coming out
Speaker 3: from here or from there.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm currently flying a drone and looking at the
Speaker 2: video and man, your car.
Speaker 3: Is immaculate, even from the top.
Speaker 2: But I'm very excited me too.
Speaker 3: I was on the phone with Danielle yesterday morning. Danielle Kramer,
Speaker 3: she runs exactly.
Speaker 2: Right, she's the coo, she.
Speaker 1: Is the that's right, and she oh miss that house.
Speaker 2: They have an electronic door. I guess that's pretty normal.
Speaker 2: That was invented in the mid eighties, kind of standard. Ye,
Speaker 2: not where I come from.
Speaker 3: And in Danielle's backyard, she and are talking going over
Speaker 3: our morning call, and then she goes, ugh, there's a
Speaker 3: drone in my backyard and there's just like a drone
Speaker 3: hovering over her yard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's frightening to me that we've just gotten
Speaker 2: used to that. That's so weird because most of them
Speaker 2: have video capabilities.
Speaker 1: It's not okay, no, because you know the.
Speaker 2: Person flying that, I got one in on the remote
Speaker 2: and the other man. I'm not even going to mention
Speaker 2: where the other hand is.
Speaker 1: You don't have to. We're talking about drones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's in their pocket searching for money to buy
Speaker 2: a better drone. Here we time, and here we are
Speaker 2: at the perfect ending of whatever we were talking about.
Speaker 1: That amazing riff cham.
Speaker 3: Yeah morning, yes, good morning.
Speaker 4: I am.
Speaker 3: Hello.
Speaker 2: I told you we spoke French.
Speaker 3: Reggie Watt.
Speaker 2: Hello, Reggie. Class my falangies as I offer them to
Speaker 2: you because we are friends.
Speaker 5: Hi, Michael Falangio, thank you for calling me by my
Speaker 5: new stage name.
Speaker 2: In the car now is our friend Reggie Watts? Hello, Reggie, Hi,
Speaker 2: I'm Reggie. How are you, buddy?
Speaker 4: I'm really good, Reggie.
Speaker 3: Can I just tell you and really quick?
Speaker 2: You know I was going nowhere.
Speaker 1: I used to live in this apartment right here, in
Speaker 1: this in this black building. Yes, it was.
Speaker 3: You lived there and worshiped the devil and if you
Speaker 3: watched Twin Peaks. Laura Palmer's mother, Gray Sabriski, just walked.
Speaker 1: Out of her house. She lives right across the street.
Speaker 2: WHOA, yes, wait you just saw.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, she lived there when I lived there, and
Speaker 3: she would never acknowledge me or talk to me. Her
Speaker 3: husband would say hi, and they but they were both
Speaker 3: obsessed with my cat, and my cat would go and
Speaker 3: lay on their patio and it was almost like we
Speaker 3: shared a cat a little bit. And then one time
Speaker 3: she told me about a documentary she went and saw.
Speaker 3: Other than that, it was like I didn't exist. And
Speaker 3: that was fine with me because I love Gray Sabrinski.
Speaker 4: That the great Zabrinski.
Speaker 1: Also an amazing magician.
Speaker 4: Great to Brecky, that's awesome.
Speaker 5: Wow, yeah, I love that little you know loves in
Speaker 5: this goddamn neighborhood.
Speaker 1: It's so specific.
Speaker 2: Do you think that that person with the black house
Speaker 2: got painted their house black after the jeep or the
Speaker 2: jeep came second, you know that one was in response?
Speaker 5: I think it definitely it was to match the jeep
Speaker 5: we're moving in, and they were like, if that's going
Speaker 5: to be parked in the driveway, which it's going to be,
Speaker 5: then we need.
Speaker 2: To It would be crazy to me if the jeep
Speaker 2: was another color, as was the house any painted both black?
Speaker 2: Because his fingernails were painted black, I would like the
Speaker 2: fingernails to go, Oh, is this your friend?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's Clet Martin's I love.
Speaker 6: Reggie is the the the best at confidently uh giving
Speaker 6: no information to where it sounds like there definitely is information.
Speaker 2: And if you didn't, it's just you're not paying attention.
Speaker 4: If you missed it, that's that's that's pure truth.
Speaker 1: And club is what kind of a name?
Speaker 2: What club?
Speaker 5: Mar Clud Martins club? Yeah, he's well, it's for a
Speaker 5: club of cleb Radaya.
Speaker 1: You're going in there, okay, but you're taking up the
Speaker 1: whole street.
Speaker 3: So what would you like me to do?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Go to work together?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Well have you ever driven on the street before?
Speaker 2: I think we all know that it was the street fault.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was definitely streetful.
Speaker 2: Because we're on a street with no name.
Speaker 4: Street fault, street fault?
Speaker 1: Whose is it? O?
Speaker 4: G B Y beauty.
Speaker 2: Finally, Reggie, I've always wanted to ask, Yeah, how speaking
Speaker 2: of confidently speaking gibberish. How did you do? How many
Speaker 2: TED talks have you done? Was it just the one
Speaker 2: I love?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: I have the main Ted one I did, and then
Speaker 5: I have I did? I think TED X mid Atlantic,
Speaker 5: TEDx Full Spectrum and TED ex Doha. You've done multiple
Speaker 5: and ted X Berlin.
Speaker 2: I wanted which one because I've only seen one and
Speaker 2: it blew me away?
Speaker 1: What was it about?
Speaker 7: May?
Speaker 1: I ask?
Speaker 2: Exactly.
Speaker 5: Well, they're all just me fucking around on stage really,
Speaker 5: so it's like, yeah, they're not really about anything.
Speaker 4: But you know, it's just me.
Speaker 5: It's just on stage, yeah, talking about whatever I think
Speaker 5: I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: But you were You were so good and you always
Speaker 2: I've always seen you be good at this, but so
Speaker 2: good at transitioning from one character who's not really saying
Speaker 2: anything to another. It's you were morphing into different people.
Speaker 2: It was so great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm so good at sometimes people call me morph hammeil.
Speaker 4: Oh. By the way, the salt and straw.
Speaker 5: On Sunset ice Cream is it looks like a fucking
Speaker 5: TGI Friday. It's like the design of it, it just
Speaker 5: looks like it's just it's so terrible.
Speaker 4: I can't believe it. Like it just I every time.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm like, someone consciously decided that that's going to
Speaker 5: be appetizing to the people of silver Lake, which it
Speaker 5: is not.
Speaker 3: Are they doing like license plates on the wall and
Speaker 3: ship lap and stuff?
Speaker 4: I don't know they should be Oh yeah, like that cush.
Speaker 2: When before it opened or right when they opened. Someone
Speaker 2: I was walking by and someone flagged me down and said,
Speaker 2: would you like some ice cream? And I thought, I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: surely I'll have to pay for it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I tried so many different varieties. Whoa and they
Speaker 2: refuse to take my money.
Speaker 6: That salts and straws, Yes, it salts and as well
Speaker 6: as straws.
Speaker 3: I got a ticket in Larchmont for overstaying my welcome
Speaker 3: in my parking spot, and I also got a second ticket,
Speaker 3: and when I opened it up, it was saltan straw
Speaker 3: saying we're sorry you got a ticket. Here's a thing
Speaker 3: for a free ice cream.
Speaker 4: You're a kidding? Serious?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Isn't that good? Like marketing kind of friend making?
Speaker 2: How they did they approach the city and they're like,
Speaker 2: we want to have coupons on your tickets and they're like, okay, no.
Speaker 3: It was a separate living ticket because it basically happened
Speaker 3: in front of their store. So maybe that's some awesome
Speaker 3: idea somebody came up with of like people are so
Speaker 3: bummed when they get a ticket, and so then we
Speaker 3: can kind of like emphasize.
Speaker 2: With them, yeah they're making your day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and say hey, once again, cope with food. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, hell, yes, I will watch me do it.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's a very interesting marketing tactic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Reggie, how much longer do you have as the
Speaker 2: band leader on the current television program you're working?
Speaker 4: I have zero zero.
Speaker 2: It's over.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been over for a month.
Speaker 1: Now, se House Free Life.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's well, I'm really stoked that it's I
Speaker 5: don't have to go there anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I love that feeling. But it's also.
Speaker 5: You know a little terrifying about like, well, what's next.
Speaker 5: You know, it's the next thing, you know, pitching some stuff,
Speaker 5: but you know, you know how that usually goes.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 5: I mean in the meantime, I'm touring a lot and
Speaker 5: stuff like that.
Speaker 2: That's what I wanted the answer to be. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: just want everyone to do stand up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I want everyone to do. I hope
Speaker 2: you keep pitching and nothing happens.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's so sweet. Yeah, I get it. I get it,
Speaker 5: and I understand it too. That's the thing. I totally
Speaker 5: understand it.
Speaker 3: I was telling Chris because very briefly, for like one
Speaker 3: month I worked there and watched you do your thing,
Speaker 3: and I was telling him how much I liked watching
Speaker 3: you have to do a real, like kind of arguably
Speaker 3: traditional like band leader job and then yet completely were
Speaker 3: yourself and kept your own style and kind of kept
Speaker 3: your own space, which I think is a hard thing
Speaker 3: to do. And I always just like watched you, going like,
Speaker 3: oh cool, because you're like, you know, it's not the
Speaker 3: same as comedy bang bang, It's like it's almost like
Speaker 3: the official CBS version or whatever, but you still were
Speaker 3: you and so hilarious, and I just thought it was cool.
Speaker 5: Oh well, thanks, Yeah, it was fun. It was so
Speaker 5: cool that they were just like, yeah, go for it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and we're okay with it.
Speaker 3: M h.
Speaker 5: And I'm aware that that's not a normal way of proceeding,
Speaker 5: but it was also kind of oh telephone.
Speaker 2: And not to be childish again, but I am. I
Speaker 2: just launched my new my new flatulence.
Speaker 4: Oh you did.
Speaker 2: Yeah. We were talking about my old one being childish.
Speaker 2: Oh and this one's more adult contemporary, so excuse me.
Speaker 5: Wow, that's cool, thank you. And that's also like way
Speaker 5: more palatable.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, which I enjoy I enjoyed things. Well, I
Speaker 4: just enjoyed things, thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always been I've always accused you of someone
Speaker 2: who enjoyed things.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're correct, and I love it.
Speaker 2: Where have you been doing stand up?
Speaker 5: I've been doing a lot of just lineup shows, Like
Speaker 5: I'm doing two shows tonight when a Dynasty and one
Speaker 5: somewhere else.
Speaker 2: I noticed your comedy store the other night. Is that
Speaker 2: somewhere you rarely, like me, have performed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the comedy store is like very rare for me
Speaker 5: to perform attic. I've only performed once in the smaller room,
Speaker 5: so it's my first time playing in the big room.
Speaker 5: But also that lineup was just insane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciated that you appreciated that lineup. Yes, to me,
Speaker 2: you were one of the biggest stars on it. But
Speaker 2: I see the world.
Speaker 4: More realistically.
Speaker 2: Who was on that show? Tiffany, our friend Tiffany.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Tiffany Hattish and David Spade and Mark Marin, so there.
Speaker 2: Was yeah, I guess there was some people that have
Speaker 2: done some things.
Speaker 5: And then Dane Cook, which was interesting really yeah he was.
Speaker 5: I guess the headliner was last Guy and oh and
Speaker 5: then who snuck? Oh, Polly Shore snuck in the Oh wow.
Speaker 2: That's like all the directions comedy went, I know.
Speaker 5: The nineties, like All the Night, like legendary, you know comedians. Well,
Speaker 5: I guess Maren would have been a little bit later.
Speaker 5: He would have been like two thousands.
Speaker 2: But no, when I think of working since eighty seven, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think of him in a flowered Cowboys shirt talking
Speaker 2: to Johnny Carson like.
Speaker 5: You're right, You're right, Yeah, because he used to work
Speaker 5: the door at the Comedy Store in eighty seven.
Speaker 2: How do you know that?
Speaker 4: Because he told me. That's the only way I know.
Speaker 2: I always whenever I've been in the room with Polly Shore,
Speaker 2: I want to tell him that my dad wrote jokes
Speaker 2: for his dad, But it never comes out of my
Speaker 2: mouth because it seems like it was Uhrt Burfler, No,
Speaker 2: Sammy Okay, yeah, who started the comedy store.
Speaker 4: But I guess.
Speaker 2: Kenson Sammy Kennison, Sure, okay, and uh, he'd put on
Speaker 2: the trench coat and no one knows.
Speaker 5: With White Snake, Yes he is in the White Snake video.
Speaker 4: Is I think he is.
Speaker 2: I just think that's so cool, but I don't. I
Speaker 2: still don't let him know because why would I. It
Speaker 2: just seems like I'm bragging about my dad again.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he'd probably just kind of like, look at
Speaker 4: you weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Maybe that is a place sometimes where people let you down,
Speaker 3: where you're like, hey, we have a connection, and then they're.
Speaker 1: Just like, yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 1: That's very la where you're just like.
Speaker 4: It's very common.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well it's it's it's like when people give up
Speaker 5: on the notion of male.
Speaker 4: It has such a specialized transport vehicle.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's like a child, it's not a big wheeler.
Speaker 5: And then it's got like he's got a walking cane.
Speaker 5: But the walking cane he costing me to custom loop
Speaker 5: at the base of it so that he can just
Speaker 5: put it through the handles and it just like holds
Speaker 5: it there perfectly.
Speaker 2: Anyway, he's got his day all planned out.
Speaker 1: Yes, he's done that before.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he has and he's he's doing it right now. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 4: that happens a lot.
Speaker 5: There's like kind of a little bit of a bitterness
Speaker 5: sometimes that comes with what I call like the mid
Speaker 5: nineties road dogs. Yeah, it was just a different way
Speaker 5: of being on the road and maybe it still exists
Speaker 5: or whatever. You know, like just like comedians doing stand up,
Speaker 5: writing jokes, surviving gig to gig and kind of like
Speaker 5: being a little too competitive or quasi hostile to one another.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the vibe. Then. That's how Karen talks
Speaker 2: about it all the time, the mid nineties competitive vibe.
Speaker 2: There's even at the Green Room in San Antonio. I
Speaker 2: remember Polly Shore had written something scathing. I can't remember
Speaker 2: what it was, but then years later there was an
Speaker 2: apology that he wrote next to it, like sorry, guys,
Speaker 2: I was going through a lot at this point, which
Speaker 2: I actually appreciated.
Speaker 1: That's funny.
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't even know what I meant by
Speaker 2: saying this, but up on the wall, yeah, on the
Speaker 2: wall that everyone signed.
Speaker 1: Yeah there was.
Speaker 2: There was his mean spirited thing and then an apology
Speaker 2: fifteen years later.
Speaker 1: That's that's progress.
Speaker 2: Yeah, comedy has progressed, man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, those clubs are I always get so nervous whenever
Speaker 5: I'm like doing like a you know, like a traditional
Speaker 5: stand up club.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm always like.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, all right, over right, all right, all right,
Speaker 5: because I you know, because like usually and most of
Speaker 5: the time I kind of view what I do on
Speaker 5: stage is I'm kind of doing whatever. But then there
Speaker 5: are moments when I go into I'm doing an impression
Speaker 5: of a stand up comedian, right, like, I'm using all
Speaker 5: the kind of the timing mechanisms, cadence, all that stuff,
Speaker 5: and so I lean more heavily on that and a
Speaker 5: comedy yeah, in a comedy place, because it's just I
Speaker 5: don't know, it just it makes me feel a little
Speaker 5: bit more comfortable because I'm like, well they'll understand this.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And also at the store, would you be able to
Speaker 2: set up any equipment?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I I could do that, Yeah for sure in the future.
Speaker 5: I was thinking about it's like the sets are too short,
Speaker 5: and my thing is like, if it's fifteen minutes or less,
Speaker 5: it's not worth me coming up and setting up my stuff.
Speaker 5: If it's like a weirdo comedy night, then maybe because
Speaker 5: it's not that hard to set up, I just have
Speaker 5: to rush up there and then quickly un plug the
Speaker 5: mic and then plug it into a di and then
Speaker 5: I'm ready to go.
Speaker 4: But and then also probably have a stool. But usually
Speaker 4: there's always a stool in comedy, so thatwys works out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that stool comes with it.
Speaker 4: It's like you have to have that stool.
Speaker 2: Well, I love traditional stand up Reggie Watts.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's it's fun. But the thing that you
Speaker 4: do that I do notice that I can do.
Speaker 5: I can be a lot more because I'm doing stuff
Speaker 5: that because I can kind of kind of go down
Speaker 5: a wild you know, rabbit shoot. They tend to like
Speaker 5: weirdly kind of sometimes appreciate kind of weirder shit. Ye, yeah,
Speaker 5: as long as it's not too too weird, Like if
Speaker 5: it gets you can lose people. If it gets too weird,
Speaker 5: you have to you know, you have to just be careful.
Speaker 5: But I got lucky. Like when I got up on stage,
Speaker 5: this guy he was sitting at a table right in
Speaker 5: front or husband wife, I assume, and he had this
Speaker 5: coin on the table and I was like, it's like
Speaker 5: I went over to one lady acted like she was
Speaker 5: my friend, and I was like, thank you for coming
Speaker 5: in it was really difficult whatever. And then I go
Speaker 5: over to the other side of the stage and there's
Speaker 5: this couple sitting there with a piece of paper and
Speaker 5: it has looks like a certificate and then there was
Speaker 5: a coin on it. I was like, well, it was
Speaker 5: like a certificate on there. It's like, what's that what's
Speaker 5: that coin for? And the guy was like aa and
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, okay it with him. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: just like American Airlines pretty cool.
Speaker 4: And then.
Speaker 1: American Airline.
Speaker 5: Celebrating American Airlines. It was so cool. It just like
Speaker 5: so worked out. Everybody was losing it.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 4: It was like, hey, American Airlines.
Speaker 2: I wonder why you cut it out? Is that don't
Speaker 2: you avoid the to drink minimum?
Speaker 5: Maybe yeah, maybe maybe it's there to remind him like
Speaker 5: not to get the drink or something, you know, because
Speaker 5: it's there's a lot of there were a lot of
Speaker 5: I guess I don't know. I don't know if it's
Speaker 5: like because of Mark or you know, like maybe Mark
Speaker 5: has a sober following.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, you signed my chip.
Speaker 4: Yeah, chip Chips sent chips. It's like ruffles nice. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know, but there seemed to be some kind
Speaker 5: of a sober faction there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh for sure. I had Mark sign an empty
Speaker 2: my last bottle of whiskey.
Speaker 4: Oh that's fucking fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I stopped drinking, Reggie, Oh you did? When did
Speaker 2: you stop? About five months ago? Oh my god, it's
Speaker 2: too early to be about it.
Speaker 4: Are you like full sober or Cali sober full full? Nice?
Speaker 2: But I still eat chicken. Okay, that's just that's a
Speaker 2: good specific brand.
Speaker 1: Are you getting ready to go to the comedy store yourself?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, just.
Speaker 4: Put it on the note you have that.
Speaker 5: I see you have that notepad with the stool, just
Speaker 5: like write on the note if the.
Speaker 1: Chip guy is sitting in the front.
Speaker 5: Yeah, or I guess you could set it up. You
Speaker 5: could have a friend sit there. It was like a plant.
Speaker 1: I do a play.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I When I first, I think I feel like I
Speaker 2: hadn't even met you yet. I'd only seen you at
Speaker 2: like UCB and we were both in Vegas for some festival.
Speaker 2: I think it's where they had the Andy Kaufman Award.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was a stupid idea.
Speaker 2: But yeah, but I remember you being interviewed by someone
Speaker 2: and just overheard you as I was walking past, say
Speaker 2: that you're from Montana, And then I looked at you
Speaker 2: because I already knew who you were as a Los
Speaker 2: Angeles comedian, and I flashed to an image. I still
Speaker 2: don't know if it's something I conjured or not, but
Speaker 2: I remember you as a young person in Great Falls.
Speaker 2: And I still don't know where where I would have
Speaker 2: ever Matthew, because I go there to skateboard. Oh right, right,
Speaker 2: And I know that at some point I saw you
Speaker 2: or Matt you in Great Falls, Montana when I was
Speaker 2: sixteen or something.
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean that sounds because you know a lot
Speaker 5: of my Yes, we have some similar crossover.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, your good friend there, yeah, older brother? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Who is Jeff?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry if you call him JJ, it's like
Speaker 2: spitting in his face.
Speaker 4: I probably might.
Speaker 2: Him right now if I see him, I'm going to
Speaker 2: call him JJ. And I know if you know him
Speaker 2: as as JJ.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, because I think the reason why he doesn't
Speaker 5: want to go by JJ is because he hated J. J.
Speaker 4: Walker Rights as a character.
Speaker 5: No, I don't like that that very tall African American man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, things are not dynamite.
Speaker 4: Y are indeed not.
Speaker 5: I like dynamtte but not Dynamite sorry.
Speaker 2: And fology accepted totally. And then you and I got
Speaker 2: booked over a decade ago at the same venue on purpose.
Speaker 2: It wasn't like a double booking, like, oh, what are
Speaker 2: we going to do? I guess get to know each other? Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: And then it's become a tradition.
Speaker 4: That's right, I know. Yeah, they just kind of paired
Speaker 4: it up, right, is that what they do?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I've all of my memories are vague, you know,
Speaker 2: because that empty whiskey belled all I mentioned I got.
Speaker 2: But now Reggie and I do a show around Christmas
Speaker 2: in Missoula every year, and it's become.
Speaker 1: That'd be a great show.
Speaker 2: It is the funnest it's it's so cool.
Speaker 4: It's really cool.
Speaker 5: And last time we did Bozman Amazula, yes, which is great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the Beast Great Falls.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Great Falls was tough because it was like twenty
Speaker 5: eight below and shit.
Speaker 2: And I, as you recall, did not go as I
Speaker 2: was worried about driving in that weather.
Speaker 4: Not making it because you have to come back.
Speaker 5: Yes, you know, it's not like yeah, and there's no
Speaker 5: flights inside of Montana because that would be too convenient.
Speaker 2: When did you move to Great Falls?
Speaker 5: Nineteen seventy six, so most of your life you were there. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I was there from age four to sixteen. But prior
Speaker 5: to that four to eighteen.
Speaker 2: List all the places you lived because your your father
Speaker 2: was Air Force guy, right.
Speaker 5: My father was in the Force of the Airy space
Speaker 5: for he was he was a space forester.
Speaker 4: Yeah. This guy is just like, he's like, I'm just
Speaker 4: going to take your spot.
Speaker 1: Real slow and steady.
Speaker 4: I always I always do.
Speaker 5: That bumper to bumper. You're not getting the fuck in
Speaker 5: there because you're dumb. You should get the car behind you,
Speaker 5: get the space behind me. See that's how it feels.
Speaker 5: I'm already ahead of you, so that means to get
Speaker 5: the space behind me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, jerk object, but go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah Los Angeles. Yeah, well yeah. Plus we're filming a podcast.
Speaker 3: Yes, I want to see him chill and uh accessible, Yes,
Speaker 3: but the camera crew chill chilly.
Speaker 1: You know me, I let everybody merge.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't care. I'm just like, you know, I'll
Speaker 4: get there.
Speaker 1: For her to emergency has her own lane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this person doesn't.
Speaker 5: I use the euro thing for when you communicate for
Speaker 5: someone to do something, which is the double double high
Speaker 5: being like just like and they're like, oh, that means
Speaker 5: go ahead. But and some people get it, and then
Speaker 5: some sometimes I do it and people just they just.
Speaker 4: Keep doing what they're doing, and I'm like.
Speaker 5: Oh, they must have thought I I wanted to use
Speaker 5: my turn signal but then didn't last minute and then
Speaker 5: kind of had a cramp and just want like, you know,
Speaker 5: like real quick, and they're like, that's just that was
Speaker 5: a mistake.
Speaker 2: Or they just think you're a truck driver warning them
Speaker 2: of police being around.
Speaker 5: The Oh that's true, Yeah, that is true. Yeah, like
Speaker 5: slow down, man, I just saw some police.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I always appreciate. I radioed me back behind and told
Speaker 5: me there's a there's.
Speaker 3: A brown bear on your back door.
Speaker 4: There's a brown bear.
Speaker 5: It's either there's a brown bear at your on your
Speaker 5: back porch or there's a cop up ahead, and it's
Speaker 5: hard to know which, but there's usually a spacing the
Speaker 5: gap between the two flashes.
Speaker 4: I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's hard. You have to count it down.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're just like okay, all right, but hey, man,
Speaker 4: what's up? Can you check my house?
Speaker 5: Because there's like, no, I'm not gonna check your house.
Speaker 4: For a bear.
Speaker 5: Oh I forgot that someone might not want to do that. Okay,
Speaker 5: I'll I'll call someone else yet, bear friend.
Speaker 2: Yeah, when we when we did that show in Montana
Speaker 2: and you did the do you you probably don't remember
Speaker 2: when you provides an entire song. That's what's amazing about
Speaker 2: your act, but also must be is it ever frustrating
Speaker 2: that you couldn't recreate that's Smoky the bear you did
Speaker 2: arif he did a song about camping pack in what
Speaker 2: you pack out?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the most genius moment. And that's what's
Speaker 2: so cool about your act is it's like, yeah, you
Speaker 2: have to see it in this moment because it's not
Speaker 2: happening again. Do you even remember what.
Speaker 4: You were Jesus now I don't.
Speaker 5: I mean I kind of remember it because I always
Speaker 5: allude to, you know something about that.
Speaker 2: Sure in the lyrics there were things that were talking
Speaker 2: points for you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that I like talking about when I'm in
Speaker 5: Montana because it's like, well, here's my opportunity to talk about,
Speaker 5: you know, outdoor etiquette.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, finally.
Speaker 5: Yeah, finally, because these these Angelinos know nothing.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's all just pent up outdoor knowledge that
Speaker 2: you've got to spit out. When you're up in Montana,
Speaker 2: It's like, what's a pine? This whole city doesn't even
Speaker 2: know what you're thinking of arts and crafts as a child, Jesus.
Speaker 3: The first time I saw you, Reggie, was at Bridgetown
Speaker 3: and we were we were on the same show. There
Speaker 3: were people and maybe you were one of them smoking
Speaker 3: pot backstage, and I got please don't apologize.
Speaker 1: I got the best contact hype.
Speaker 3: It was like just enough to go on stage with
Speaker 3: and have it be fun like it was this really
Speaker 3: good waiting backstage contact hype. But when I watched you,
Speaker 3: because I had heard your name but I'd never actually
Speaker 3: gotten to see you, I didn't understand what was happening
Speaker 3: for a while, and you started singing a.
Speaker 1: Song about how the moisture in the air causes your
Speaker 1: magazines to get moldie, and I was like, what, this
Speaker 1: is the best song I've ever heard.
Speaker 3: And then then like then it was like that delay
Speaker 3: where I'm like, oh, he's making this up.
Speaker 1: They it took me such a long time. Was the
Speaker 1: funniest It.
Speaker 2: Is your ability to convince people that you know exactly
Speaker 2: what you're doing in those moments where you absolutely don't
Speaker 2: have a plan. It's no one else.
Speaker 7: And the music is beautiful, like that song about the
Speaker 7: moisture in near molding things was like almost like heart
Speaker 7: wrenching beautiful where you're like, what's happening?
Speaker 4: Great? Thanks, It's a fun mode to go into on
Speaker 4: stage for me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that song there you're smoking, the bear camping song
Speaker 2: I would have on my iTunes.
Speaker 4: Oh god, maybe you know what it might have been.
Speaker 4: When was it? Was it this last one time?
Speaker 2: No, it was like three Christmas. That's it just stands.
Speaker 2: It was the same show where you just went into
Speaker 2: industrial German like uh, skinny puppy type music or Romstein more. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 2: And I've never even seen you dip your toe into
Speaker 2: that world, so it was the best.
Speaker 4: That's awesome.
Speaker 5: That's always a fun thing to pull out because people
Speaker 5: are really not like I did. Actually at the Comedy
Speaker 5: Store this last couple of days ago. I started I
Speaker 5: started like the audience for some reason when I started
Speaker 5: doing like a rhythmic thing towards the end and had
Speaker 5: my gear up there. I was doing like a little
Speaker 5: beatboxy thing or whatever, and people started clapping along and
Speaker 5: I was like, oh no, that's the worst because they
Speaker 5: can't keep time right right, and.
Speaker 4: You know, just collectively they're not great at it.
Speaker 5: But then I was like, oh fuck it, I'll just
Speaker 5: go off their tempo, you know, and right, and then
Speaker 5: I like suggested what the vibe of the song was,
Speaker 5: which was like a little bit I started going into
Speaker 5: like you know, like rock guitar things were like.
Speaker 4: Whatever, we're like clapping, and then I just started over.
Speaker 4: I was like, god, lords, right now, this is the
Speaker 4: comedy store.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 4: Oh god, it was great. I love that shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah. When the time I saw you do it in Montana,
Speaker 2: I really thought you were doing it for me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it is my favorite.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh my god, gosh, it's it's just it's just
Speaker 5: the best because it's like when people are just normal,
Speaker 5: they're just used to you being a particular way. That's
Speaker 5: the whole I mean, that's part of like what my
Speaker 5: whole show is is just subvert I mean, all comedy
Speaker 5: is subverting expectations. But it's like I really rely on
Speaker 5: it heavily. Sometimes when people get really comfortable, they're like, Okay,
Speaker 5: I know what this guy is doing, and then just
Speaker 5: don't then just take a one hundred and seventy degree
Speaker 5: turn and it's like what you start all over again?
Speaker 5: You know that is I'm like, I know, I know,
Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Guys, guys, I need to test your boundaries.
Speaker 4: Yeah sorry.
Speaker 3: I really love the idea of changing the rhythm of
Speaker 3: your song to the bad clapping because there's crowd clapping
Speaker 3: makes me so mad anytime it starts being like it's
Speaker 3: not your place. You don't know how to do it,
Speaker 3: Like no crowd has ever done it correctly.
Speaker 1: I don't think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's it's just hard because you have a
Speaker 5: mixture of varying abilities and and and the aggregation of
Speaker 5: it is generally not very good. However, certain populations, you know,
Speaker 5: like I've been the you know, if you did it
Speaker 5: in Brazil, I'm sure it would be no problem.
Speaker 3: True, there are people who are kind of pay attention
Speaker 3: to it better.
Speaker 4: Maybe they're just there their society incorporates rhythm all the time.
Speaker 5: Like I bet your South America would be easy, you know,
Speaker 5: but there's just you know, the more north you go,
Speaker 5: the the less.
Speaker 4: There's just like this's just too much.
Speaker 5: Like I don't know, I kind of like music, you know,
Speaker 5: like that that kind of a I love I love
Speaker 5: boss gags what.
Speaker 4: They love it, but you.
Speaker 3: Know, and also the excitement of now I'm in the show,
Speaker 3: that you're no longer you're not focusing on your job
Speaker 3: of keeping time.
Speaker 1: You're just kind of like we're excited.
Speaker 3: And it's like, that's not the same kind of No.
Speaker 4: It's not. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Just last night on my pocket computer, I saw a
Speaker 2: video of Harry Connick Junior playing a song and the
Speaker 2: audience was off with the clapping, and so he adjusted
Speaker 2: the song to it and you see him match it.
Speaker 2: And I don't know much about that time signatures, and
Speaker 2: I've said that before, Yes, today.
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you for that. By the way, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I don't know you have the hat I announced what
Speaker 2: I don't know of and and time signatures are one
Speaker 2: of them. But yeah, I could tell that he slowed
Speaker 2: down his song and you see it sync up with
Speaker 2: the audience clapping, and then you could see them as
Speaker 2: they're clapping, kind of congratulating themselves because they thought they
Speaker 2: got into the rhythm, but he adjusted for them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so true.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so tough when they man, what was it,
Speaker 5: I was maybe the Late Late Show or something like
Speaker 5: that where they told people not to clap when music
Speaker 5: is happening because it the edit. Yeah, and also it
Speaker 5: just kind of sucks for the performer because they it's like,
Speaker 5: you can do as long as it's like a simple
Speaker 5: thing like doom doom doom, you know, if it's like
Speaker 5: something like that, and the people on stage are kind
Speaker 5: of you know, the performers are moving in a big
Speaker 5: gesture that's like showing the time. People can usually hang
Speaker 5: in there. But yeah, it's it's very rare that I've
Speaker 5: ever I'm like, oh.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there it is. They totally locked into it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not for more than like six beats, I think
Speaker 1: that's and then it just is like, well, here we go.
Speaker 1: There's somebody that has.
Speaker 2: To lead a little bit more at the bottom of
Speaker 2: the screen. There has to be in that little bouncing
Speaker 2: red mall. Yeah, yeah, yeah, totally don't let people know
Speaker 2: what to do.
Speaker 5: At least, they were clapping on twos and fours, which
Speaker 5: generally when I was at the Late Late Show, when
Speaker 5: people would clap along, they'd be going on ones and threes,
Speaker 5: which is like the unfunkiest beats to clap.
Speaker 2: On from what I know about times. Signature switches again,
Speaker 2: nothing that is frustrating that is right for it to
Speaker 2: be the threes, Yeah, because it's like.
Speaker 5: It's like one three one, and it's it's so like
Speaker 5: it's just it's not because like.
Speaker 4: If you're doing like if it's like.
Speaker 5: Dude, dude, and you're doing like dude, and then you
Speaker 5: change it to the point it feels completely different, it's
Speaker 5: way funkier, way better.
Speaker 3: One in three is unnatural. It's that's like it feels
Speaker 3: like preschool class.
Speaker 5: I know it is preschool clapping, but most audiences that's
Speaker 5: what they revert to.
Speaker 4: It's weird. Yeah, yeah, but there's.
Speaker 3: Always there's not in Brazil.
Speaker 1: We've got to go down there and study it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do.
Speaker 3: And also there's because there's always like my friend Bradford
Speaker 3: calls them the dominant psycho where it's like here we go,
Speaker 3: like I know how to do this and I'm gonna
Speaker 3: lead it and it's just like my moment and it's
Speaker 3: probably genuinely enthua good vibe. Yeah, it's like this will
Speaker 3: help this whole idea.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, you're going against the idea.
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: I definitely don't discount I think people really do think
Speaker 5: they're doing something good, you know, like I'm participating and
Speaker 5: this is fine, and this is what happens.
Speaker 4: This is a live show. That's what we do.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oftentimes while in an audience, I will take the
Speaker 2: role of clap fixer.
Speaker 4: Oh you will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's cool. Yeah, it's a.
Speaker 1: Matter of just do you just raise your hands up?
Speaker 2: I cut them so acoustically, I become louder. Even though
Speaker 2: I have these tiny little uh cookie jar grabbers. I
Speaker 2: can clap pretty loud if I I mean, we do
Speaker 2: it every time we record. You've heard out loud. I
Speaker 2: can click interesting to get everything.
Speaker 4: In between all the cameras and the and the.
Speaker 2: Audio, everything but full production.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I get it. It looks like you might have
Speaker 5: a flat tire.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That is the most ignored logo.
Speaker 4: That's my most feared logo.
Speaker 1: They even put an exclamation point in this one.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you know what, not my problem, that's true,
Speaker 3: fix it yourself?
Speaker 4: Are you renting this?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 4: This serious? You just you just you still think that
Speaker 4: they are responsible.
Speaker 1: I have a real they mentality.
Speaker 3: It's like, get it, why don't my parents fill up
Speaker 3: the air and my tires type of thinking in middle.
Speaker 5: Age yeah, I get it. I get it, and I
Speaker 5: think that's somehow healthy.
Speaker 3: I think, thank you appreciate that. But I think also
Speaker 3: I've gone to like gas stations to put air in
Speaker 3: my tires, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure how to.
Speaker 4: Oh you think like maybe the sensor's broken, no, or.
Speaker 3: I just don't know there's a way to do it,
Speaker 3: and I've never been shown that way, so.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I don't even know how to do
Speaker 2: that with my When I get my oil change, I
Speaker 2: have to go back set the tire one to get.
Speaker 3: That crazy fucking thing off there where. It's like you're
Speaker 3: it's acting like I interpret it as my tire might explode,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, well, that's crazy the whole.
Speaker 2: They shouldn't have used an exclamation point.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit too. It's just too much.
Speaker 5: I just have had enough flat tires with my cars,
Speaker 5: which is such a bar I just hate it. It's
Speaker 5: like because I have low profile wheels like tires on
Speaker 5: both of my cars, and so they're a little bit
Speaker 5: more prone to getting damaged and so I'm not always
Speaker 5: just waiting for it and I'm just.
Speaker 4: Like no, no, no.
Speaker 5: It's just this weird psychological dread.
Speaker 1: Also lately, because we had those crazy.
Speaker 3: Storms, there's just fucking potholes everywhere in this town.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's the only reason to have a four
Speaker 2: wheel drive car is for street driving in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: That's true.
Speaker 2: You're fine in the mountains without it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so true. Yeah, four wheel drives.
Speaker 2: But I've never I've ignored every warning light because I've
Speaker 2: throughout my whole life, I've always had cars where just
Speaker 2: lights are on the dash because I jump started someone once.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and it blew out some fuses and so
Speaker 2: now I have a vibrant, colorful dash. So but in
Speaker 2: this car, it's not just the explanation point. I feel like,
Speaker 2: because it's a nice new car, we when we're done recording,
Speaker 2: I will go with you.
Speaker 3: We will will take a look. Yeah yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: I look at the tires and one doesn't seem any
Speaker 3: lower than the others or flatter or anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but then.
Speaker 5: It's you'd be surprised, like the tires like, well, they'll
Speaker 5: retain they'll retain their shape, but they'll still be low,
Speaker 5: which is kind of Yeah. I've noticed on my like
Speaker 5: my cars, they if the tires fly, you can barely
Speaker 5: tell if it's fun. It would have to be like
Speaker 5: zeroed in order for it to collapse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those low pro those low pros.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the low pros because they have a tougher sidewall,
Speaker 5: so the sidewall maintains rigidity longer. But like, yeah, the
Speaker 5: on a car like this, you've got like kind of
Speaker 5: normal wheels, so you might be able to tell, but.
Speaker 3: So kind of we could be really on the verge
Speaker 3: of serious danger right now.
Speaker 4: There could be some serious, huge, massive danger.
Speaker 2: It wouldn't be a do night, Do you need a rip?
Speaker 2: What just happened to me? Do Night? I said? Do
Speaker 2: you night? And Roy episode without danger ro they rot?
Speaker 2: Otherwise you don't thank you. See if I had you,
Speaker 2: if I had your back every time, I would never
Speaker 2: sound like an idiot.
Speaker 4: See, come on, it takes a willage.
Speaker 2: Well, I ordered one of those little it looks like
Speaker 2: a walkie talkie but it fills up tires with air,
Speaker 2: and on my bike, I'm fine with it. But the
Speaker 2: minute I hooked it up to my car, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, this this montage of different viral videos I've
Speaker 2: seen of tires exploding in faces.
Speaker 4: Are you serious. I don't know why I'm scared, because
Speaker 4: I've I've done that. Well.
Speaker 5: I have like I have like a bunch of portable compressors,
Speaker 5: you know, and they you just set the amount that
Speaker 5: you do and you just like you know, plug it
Speaker 5: in or whatever and you just turn it.
Speaker 4: On just walk away.
Speaker 2: Well okay, so I don't I just don't need to
Speaker 2: be it'll stop.
Speaker 5: Well, it'll stop, yeah, yeah, yeah, as long as it
Speaker 5: has like as long as you have the kind that
Speaker 5: like you put in the amount of pressure you want, right, well,
Speaker 5: then you just walk away.
Speaker 2: I think the problem with my You can choose bike,
Speaker 2: you can choose for not Frisbee.
Speaker 4: You know those choose Frisby.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, is it because I have it on air
Speaker 2: Frisby film Frisbee.
Speaker 5: Frisbee it's a film about a dog air Frisbee, yeah,
Speaker 5: or a German film about it an inventor of a
Speaker 5: magical task.
Speaker 2: But I didn't realize I could put it on the
Speaker 2: car icon and just walk away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 2: I don't need to stare with my face at the
Speaker 2: tire six inches away.
Speaker 1: Get your face out of there, for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I dam it in the wheel well and they're
Speaker 2: so loud.
Speaker 4: It's like.
Speaker 2: This is a little guy, that's why.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're really loud. Yeah they're so small. They make
Speaker 5: they're smaller and smaller, but it just takes them a
Speaker 5: long time to fill it up.
Speaker 4: That's why I bought this.
Speaker 5: I haven't used it yet, but it's a it's a
Speaker 5: double chambered compressor.
Speaker 4: So and it doesn't you came to plug it into
Speaker 4: a wall. You have to plug you have to hook
Speaker 4: it up to your car battery.
Speaker 5: Wow, so you have to put it on your man's
Speaker 5: Like even on an electric car, you can access the
Speaker 5: terminals and so you just you click it to the terminals.
Speaker 4: And then and then you and then you fill up
Speaker 4: your tire.
Speaker 5: It's like meant for like off road, you know, vehicles
Speaker 5: where people depressurize for going off road, you know, and
Speaker 5: then they repressurize when they're not highway again. And so
Speaker 5: it's fast. You can fill up your tire in like
Speaker 5: a minute. It's like super fast. And that's all I wanted.
Speaker 5: I wanted just I was tired of like and then
Speaker 5: I like go into my house and I can still
Speaker 5: here and I'm there for like ten minutes.
Speaker 2: Okay, so I clearly just didn't leave it on long enough.
Speaker 2: It takes so long that it takes like, clearly this
Speaker 2: has been ten minutes. This is going to explode.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I know, because it's so tiny.
Speaker 2: Okay, like all the other voices, I'm going to ignore
Speaker 2: that one in my head.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's when you can take off the list.
Speaker 3: Yes, I love this very specific expertise that you have,
Speaker 3: very impressive.
Speaker 2: I've seen you in your talk gadgets and cars in
Speaker 2: your act, and everyone's fascinated. Actual information is being given.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 5: I do love I do love trying to like when
Speaker 5: people are like not into something you know or like,
Speaker 5: or they seem uninterested in a bit of technology, or
Speaker 5: they're like I just give up on like that, that's
Speaker 5: where I come in. I'm just like, no, actually, it's
Speaker 5: it's it's not that hard. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: I just love that I saw you stick to your
Speaker 2: guns so much that a lot of Bozeman is now
Speaker 2: looking into electric cars because of you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so awesome. Yeah I know, I know.
Speaker 2: Yeah you really and convince me too, because that's what
Speaker 2: I'm holding out for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my electric cars are great and they're coming down
Speaker 5: press too. The Bulbo just announced that X thirty just now.
Speaker 5: It's like a really tiny suv and they have an
Speaker 5: off road version coming out and it's only like forty grand.
Speaker 2: Have you done any reading up on the Pollster.
Speaker 5: Oh, the Polestar, Yeah, Polestar, Yeah, Polestar, which Polestar two,
Speaker 5: the two? Yeah, the two is great. It's a really
Speaker 5: cool car.
Speaker 2: Yeeahs. So you support me having dreams of getting.
Speaker 4: Oh, pollsters are great. Yeah, they're super environmental, told you Karen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've never heard of Pulsar, Polster pull Star.
Speaker 2: There's just a logo. There's no text anywhere on it.
Speaker 2: Then now they have some little helvetica about down by
Speaker 2: the back.
Speaker 4: By the sensors.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and near the sensors. Said, and so I
Speaker 2: actually it's just a company like Tesler.
Speaker 4: It's a Volvo.
Speaker 5: It's a Pulvo Performinglvo. It's like it's a performance brand
Speaker 5: for Volvo.
Speaker 2: I'm I love the way it looks.
Speaker 4: I love it.
Speaker 2: It's a simple, boxy like if you ask a kid
Speaker 2: to draw a car, it has that in shape.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very very Swedish.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very like it's just sensible but elegant in
Speaker 5: the very kind of light classical ways.
Speaker 2: I knew you would sell me on it and it
Speaker 2: would sound it would have the words straight out of
Speaker 2: the catalog.
Speaker 5: It's it's great post Pollstar is great and super environmental.
Speaker 5: They they're trying to do full closed loop manufacturing, meaning
Speaker 5: they can recycle all of their cars, like almost like
Speaker 5: many percent of their cars can be recycled. They let
Speaker 5: they label all the metals, the different types of metals
Speaker 5: they use in the car are all labeled, and so
Speaker 5: when the car comes back to them, if it's total
Speaker 5: or something like that, they can fully pull it apart
Speaker 5: and they can reclaim all the all the materials.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's really really great company and it and it's
Speaker 5: just a great car. Electric cars are so easy, so
Speaker 5: easy to maintain. You know, I have to worry about tires,
Speaker 5: that's it. Apparently not everybody worries about tires, so you know,
Speaker 5: so I guess you have no worries, just no worries whatsoever.
Speaker 3: What I'm really impressed by, and I thought it would
Speaker 3: be the opposite, is its.
Speaker 1: Car is insanely fast.
Speaker 4: Oh it's crazy.
Speaker 3: And when I first got it, I would be at
Speaker 3: like stop lights and like BMW's would pull up and
Speaker 3: rev their engine and want.
Speaker 1: To race me to the next light.
Speaker 2: See if it the zero does take steak and.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I was like oh okay, and I
Speaker 3: would just be like blowing people out of the water
Speaker 3: or like you know on you.
Speaker 2: Will you've been street racing.
Speaker 3: Well lightly, I mean just to be like if you
Speaker 3: would like to do this surfe yeah, yeah, just like
Speaker 3: if you're going to.
Speaker 1: Force my hand.
Speaker 3: Now I beat you at this, And it's so fun.
Speaker 3: It's like the pick up, especially compared to the car
Speaker 3: I had before to pick up like getting out of
Speaker 3: the free or anything, there's it's like easy.
Speaker 1: It becomes so stress free.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's like the closest thing you can feel
Speaker 5: to being a superhero. Yeah, you know where you're like
Speaker 5: I need to get over there. Oh I'm over there.
Speaker 3: But you also don't feel because of the compression. I
Speaker 3: drive it in the compression mode, so you don't feel
Speaker 3: out of control, like the second you take your foot
Speaker 3: off the gas, you're slowing down.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, you mean the regenerative breaking yeah yeah
Speaker 5: yeah yeah, and I don't in this car.
Speaker 4: Can you set the levels of it I believe.
Speaker 5: And I used to have a Tesla Model S and
Speaker 5: a P eighty five D and after that, and you
Speaker 5: could set the Regen level. But then I rented a
Speaker 5: three recently and I couldn't figure out how to set
Speaker 5: the regent level. So I was wondering, like maybe Tesla
Speaker 5: was like, fuck it just one Regen level for all
Speaker 5: of our cars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been He's had a real fucking attitude lately.
Speaker 1: He has been focusing on the wrong things, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: What the hell is this good speaking and focusing on
Speaker 2: the wrong things. I hope you hit that curb. Actually,
Speaker 2: that was some impress was dumb, dumb until I saw
Speaker 2: him confidently take that turn. Now I like him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now he's now, he's gettable. Now he's in charge.
Speaker 4: That guy's Charles.
Speaker 2: I am. I am confronted after this. You guys would
Speaker 2: be so mad if you saw my tires Right now.
Speaker 2: People flag me down and tell me that they're low strangers.
Speaker 4: I know, Jesus, I know I might have a compressor
Speaker 4: you can borrow. I have a better compressor.
Speaker 2: I think you definitely have because I have like five.
Speaker 2: It's so are you still doing your watts.
Speaker 5: App that it still exists, but it's not there's no
Speaker 5: updates to it or anything. The guy that was kind
Speaker 5: of managing it or overlooking it or whatever the fuck
Speaker 5: he he Well, he.
Speaker 4: Was just too much money.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I really wasn't using the app, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I wanted it. I was trying to make it like,
Speaker 5: this is my content on my app, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 5: guys follow you know, follow my app or ever, and
Speaker 5: and it just I don't know, I just didn't have
Speaker 5: the team to like make it a thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, do a lot of work.
Speaker 2: Also, I'd like to apologize for never doing you wanted
Speaker 2: artwork for it, and I just never did it for WhatsApp.
Speaker 2: Oh You're like, I want a T shirt and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: I can do that. Oh right, I just went on
Speaker 2: a bike.
Speaker 5: It's totally okay because it didn't really matter it turns out. So,
Speaker 5: I mean someday, I mean it still exists, so it's
Speaker 5: in the app store, I think, hopefully indefinitely, but maybe
Speaker 5: I'll be able to do something with it in the future.
Speaker 2: Well, I still my offer still stands.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, if I get back on it, I will
Speaker 4: let you know.
Speaker 3: I feel like, yeah, you should definitely go, sir, Yeah
Speaker 3: you should.
Speaker 1: I mean that was your right.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, some of that sweet sweet Dodgers traffic, baseball. It's
Speaker 2: America's reason for stopping in the street.
Speaker 4: Oh there's the Elliott Smith wall. Yeah, they kept it.
Speaker 2: There's times I've walked past it and I'm in a
Speaker 2: pretty good mood by this Mexican restaurant. Well not now
Speaker 2: that I'm seeing it's closed.
Speaker 4: Closed, that's so crazy.
Speaker 2: But then I get bummed out when I go past
Speaker 2: that wall. I'm not kidding. There was like a feeling
Speaker 2: that overcame me, and then I realized it's because it's
Speaker 2: the Elliott Smith wall.
Speaker 4: Because of Elliott Smith.
Speaker 2: It's a sad wall.
Speaker 4: R RSP. What's now? Just when someone dies?
Speaker 2: Oh? Respect, mad mad respect.
Speaker 3: Respect, infuriated respect towards you and your memory.
Speaker 2: I'm flousy with respect for.
Speaker 1: That guy, Regie. Do have anything that you want to
Speaker 1: table plug get.
Speaker 2: Out emotionally, information wise, just anything.
Speaker 4: Oh I have a book coming out.
Speaker 2: Oh please let it be about Montana.
Speaker 4: It's well, it's called Great Falls Month.
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, it's just an autobiography and focuses primarily on
Speaker 5: Great Falls, my upbringing there, and then like mostly about
Speaker 5: my high school experiences. It goes a little bit into Seattle,
Speaker 5: Seattle and a little bit into New York.
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, you went to the famed Art Institute,
Speaker 2: a place where in high school I wanted to go
Speaker 2: so bad and learn how to airbrush milkshakes or whatever
Speaker 2: I saw on the brochure. And they had a program.
Speaker 2: When I was seventeen, I went to like a week
Speaker 2: long camp and you went there and you took classes.
Speaker 2: I think it was my parents letting me know, we
Speaker 2: cannot afford this school, but you can go to the
Speaker 2: Fantasy Camp. And it was one of the best experiences
Speaker 2: of my life.
Speaker 4: It was so cool.
Speaker 2: We're just there for a week, and I wanted to
Speaker 2: go there so badly. But it was around that time,
Speaker 2: shortly after you were probably in the building doing musica.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know they did all that. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the coolest thing ever.
Speaker 1: Wait, so was it high school or a college level college? College?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was, I was still in high school. It
Speaker 2: was the coolest thing ever. I wonder if they still
Speaker 2: do that. I kept in touch with all the kids
Speaker 2: I met. It was like one of those first times
Speaker 2: I was like without my parents on a road trap
Speaker 2: with other kids.
Speaker 4: I felt so all that feels always so awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then to land at art like an art
Speaker 3: school or an art camp where like I got to
Speaker 3: go to one of those one year and it was
Speaker 3: just mayhem and kind of like we went to a
Speaker 3: small school, so it was like kids from the city
Speaker 3: teaching us how to be like drama nerds or like art,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. Like it was just kind
Speaker 3: of like, oh, this is how you do it, like
Speaker 3: listen to the smiths and you have to get a
Speaker 3: certain kind of haircut, and yeah, get your sailor stripe,
Speaker 3: sailor shirt, and you know, be an individual, get into mime.
Speaker 3: It was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, was it the best. Right when we arrived, we
Speaker 2: were all on a bus. They were shooting a movie
Speaker 2: and it was actually a sunny day in Seattle, but
Speaker 2: for the movie they had to make it look rainy,
Speaker 2: so there was just this giant shade and fake rain
Speaker 2: coming down, and we saw they were just filming two
Speaker 2: guys walking on a sidewalk, and then we turned and
Speaker 2: then it wasn't till a couple of years later it
Speaker 2: was that scene and when Harry met Sally or sorry
Speaker 2: Sleepless in Seattle, of course, where there was an actual
Speaker 2: scene and it was from the vantage point of frat
Speaker 2: of exactly where we were. I'm not I'm not fully convinced.
Speaker 2: I wasn't a camera person on that movie, is what
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah it is possible.
Speaker 2: Yeah it was in the Union.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a parody of information. Yeah, I'm always on
Speaker 2: it in the Onion, but it was, Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2: I saw that scene.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 2: It was. I'm not here to brag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's it's not I don't think it's bragging.
Speaker 4: If it happened to you, yeah, it's real. Yeah, if
Speaker 4: it's real, it's not a brag.
Speaker 3: Did you find it like easy to write a book
Speaker 3: or was it did you have to really sit down
Speaker 3: and focus?
Speaker 5: Well, I worked with a phantom writer, so I all
Speaker 5: I did was sit back, tell stories. That's great, relive
Speaker 5: my thing, and then the phantom writer would just kind
Speaker 5: of ask questions.
Speaker 2: You know, And is that the same as a ghost
Speaker 2: writer or what is it. What's the difference between phantom
Speaker 2: and ghost Well.
Speaker 4: Phantom is like like a better ghost writer.
Speaker 2: Okay, slightly scar I mean in the spiritual realm.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just more powerful.
Speaker 5: Okay, wow, yeah, phantoms are way more probably, I mean,
Speaker 5: I mean the highest level you can get is a
Speaker 5: wraith writer.
Speaker 1: Yes, but the screaming, oh my god.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of wailing and teeth all the
Speaker 5: sided die Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of yeah, a lot of die rolling.
Speaker 5: And it's just like every decision you make, it's like,
Speaker 5: let's consult the.
Speaker 1: Die please, no not again?

Speaker 5: pre order in other places too.
Speaker 4: And then I'm going to do an audiobook for it
Speaker 4: as well.
Speaker 2: Oh and of course do the Karen you did that
Speaker 2: as well, Right, you did the voiceover for your own book?
Speaker 1: We did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll be fun.
Speaker 4: Was it fun?
Speaker 1: It was fun.
Speaker 3: It was a little What's funny is when I would
Speaker 3: go to say it read something I'd written. I felt
Speaker 3: like it was this third person separate, so I was
Speaker 3: kind of like, is this the voice I.
Speaker 1: Should be using? It was weird.
Speaker 3: It was kind of like going to read a thing
Speaker 3: and feeling like I'm clicking into yet another part of
Speaker 3: my personality to be the reader.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy when the character is you and you
Speaker 2: don't know if you're right for the part.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, like I'm definitely not getting this addition. No,
Speaker 3: you got it, and you have to do it. That's
Speaker 3: the bad man.
Speaker 4: Wow, I do love that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's I mean, maybe what I'm saying is I
Speaker 3: was dissociating while I was doing it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's so exciting. And when I said I'd
Speaker 2: read the book, I'm going to wait for the audio
Speaker 2: version because I want you to read me the book, Reggie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, well yeah, hopefully I'll do an okay job.
Speaker 4: I wanted to a first time.
Speaker 5: Wanted to have Fred Armison read it because I was
Speaker 5: just I thought it would be funny to have someone
Speaker 5: else read my book.
Speaker 4: Yes, narrate my book, I should say, but.
Speaker 2: No, that's a job. I can't wait. Yep.
Speaker 4: In an old school cop car that's kind rare. They're
Speaker 4: always usually scvs, so it's always and I'm like, that's
Speaker 4: not right. That's a movie cop.
Speaker 2: For all I know. That's someone that just bought a
Speaker 2: used cop car. I don't even think you have to
Speaker 2: spray paint it black anymore. You can just buy them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And it's so confusing and frustrating.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know that is. It's especially when they leave
Speaker 4: the searchlight on it. Yes, it happens all.
Speaker 2: It does happen all the time, civilians out there pretending
Speaker 2: to be cops and they don't get in trouble. But
Speaker 2: when I wear a badge at the mall, yeah.
Speaker 5: This should be the one place that you should be
Speaker 5: able to kind of do badges. I got a badge
Speaker 5: recently for what we blow. Yeah, we below. It's like
Speaker 5: it's like, well, why why aren't you above? But yeah,
Speaker 5: it's no. It's a it's called the eleven ninety nine Foundation,
Speaker 5: and they you kind of donate to a police organization
Speaker 5: called eleven nine nine Foundation, and they give you this
Speaker 5: license plate bracket it says eleven ninety nine, and then
Speaker 5: they give you this really cool bronze badge that's in
Speaker 5: like a like a wallet like a badge comes.
Speaker 2: In and it looks real.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it has your name on it, it has
Speaker 4: your member number.
Speaker 2: Have you misused it yet to get what you want?
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, I guess the idea is if you
Speaker 5: were ever caught speeding in California, like on the highway,
Speaker 5: and you get pulled over by a highway patrol, the
Speaker 5: license first, hopefully they'll see the license plate.
Speaker 4: Brun.
Speaker 2: It's so funny that you and then you have your badge.
Speaker 2: I the sheriffs when I lived in Austin, the sheriffs
Speaker 2: used to cold call. I'd answer the phone and they're like,
Speaker 2: do you want to donate? And they'd be really aggressive,
Speaker 2: and I got intimidated once and I donated, and they
Speaker 2: sent me a sticker and I put it on my car,
Speaker 2: and then they would like badger me every year to
Speaker 2: donate again. I'm like, there's other things I feel much
Speaker 2: more strongly about. But I got. I got for speeding
Speaker 2: in a school zone. I wasn't even going that fast
Speaker 2: and the guy was screaming at me, and then he
Speaker 2: saw that sticker and I thought he was going to
Speaker 2: invite me over for dinner. It not only did get
Speaker 2: me out of a ticket. I had a friend I
Speaker 2: didn't want for life. Wow, but it did. It did?
Speaker 4: I wish they would have gave me a sticker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really does.
Speaker 5: Because because you know, the license plate bracket is it's cool,
Speaker 5: but I would rather have a sticker and just have
Speaker 5: a regular, like a normal licensed plate bracket because it
Speaker 5: does kind of fuck with the color of my car, right.
Speaker 1: The aesthetics get fucked up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I kind of, I kind of, you know, because
Speaker 5: it's just like it's just silver, and like my it
Speaker 5: just looks better when you have that black license plate,
Speaker 5: like just by itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, on there.
Speaker 2: I do appreciate that. On all your cars, you've had
Speaker 2: that Dead Kennedy's sticker yep. Is it on your new
Speaker 2: car too?
Speaker 4: Yeah? On both my car.
Speaker 3: Can'd imagine if you were pulled over by a cop
Speaker 3: who also like the Dead Kennedy, you'd be said, yeah, it'd.
Speaker 2: Be great, both of his worlds colliding. It would blow
Speaker 2: his mind.
Speaker 5: It's like, yeah, and I have only only the only
Speaker 5: other sticker I have on there is another band called Nice,
Speaker 5: and uh that's it.
Speaker 4: Those are my only stickers.
Speaker 1: Nice Nice, Nice Nice.
