Speaker 4: eventually I am coming home. Is I've picked out my
Speaker 4: dad paintings. I got some stuff from my apartment. I
Speaker 4: got a little National Park looking bench with a doily
Speaker 4: to sit on, not a doily, but a woven pad,
Speaker 4: and so I do plan on coming home.
Speaker 1: Good, good, but I have extended my stay. Well, there's
Speaker 1: no pressure, and you might as well. Sorry, George, please don't.
Speaker 4: You might as well give me your advice. George, should
Speaker 4: I go home? Hi? George, Hi George. What do you think.
Speaker 1: You see? Your razor lip like that? Just get that
Speaker 1: microphone out of my face, she said, no paparazzi, please up,
Speaker 1: GEORGEORGEA get those sunglasses. Stop barking at every noise you hear. Please,
Speaker 1: that'll work. That'll do.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, as long as you give a dog a
Speaker 4: healthy dose of reason.
Speaker 1: And a touch of shame, that's what we did it
Speaker 1: in the Kilgarath household.
Speaker 4: My yesterday was my stepsister's birthday, the daughter of my stepmother.
Speaker 4: That goes without saying, but sure she's had a birthday
Speaker 4: party and her cat just got surgery and came home
Speaker 4: and it was kind of sad. But at the same time,
Speaker 4: there's nothing more fun than a cat with a cone
Speaker 4: around its neck that is high as a kite, like
Speaker 4: wandering around, like looking at everyone like, whoa holding her
Speaker 4: paw in front of her own face and it was sad,
Speaker 4: but it was yeah, yeah, it was that kid at
Speaker 4: the dentist, which is what you just referenced it.
Speaker 1: What is that cat was so high? It started quoting
Speaker 1: viral videos to you. Be awesome.
Speaker 4: I could watch high cats all day. Hi cats, I
Speaker 4: love it.
Speaker 1: So you had like a family party with the cat.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was fun. I am on. I'm still
Speaker 4: just I it's such a I'm seventeen and I'm on
Speaker 4: summer vacation time in my life that I'm remembering old stories.
Speaker 4: I'm regressing back to my teenage years. Sure, and what
Speaker 4: kind of stories you want to when I want to?
Speaker 4: Friends I own have a specifics ready. It seemed like
Speaker 4: I segueing into a great story bit. But we're just
Speaker 4: hanging out with my friends and remembering all these stories
Speaker 4: and laughing. I haven't laughed so much. I do feel
Speaker 4: guilty because I know the real world is happening and
Speaker 4: I haven't been as involved right as I was just
Speaker 4: sitting scared in my apartment.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's not being involved. Don't work, don't don't
Speaker 1: look for problems like that. You don't feel guilty one instance.
Speaker 4: Well if they say, if you're not talking about things,
Speaker 4: you're part of the problem. But I'm just I have
Speaker 4: to go swimming.
Speaker 1: Well you can do both. You can swim and support people.
Speaker 1: But I think, I think the relief we get from
Speaker 1: our family and the people we get to be close
Speaker 1: to because of this thing, feeling, the relief of going,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so excited. Like my friend came
Speaker 1: over the other day and just hung out. We sat
Speaker 1: outside or whatever, and again, just like you said, like
Speaker 1: laugh till we cried about stupid shit. Yeah, and it's
Speaker 1: like that's only good. There's no bad, there's no downside,
Speaker 1: there's no guilt about something like that. You need we
Speaker 1: all need people, We need eye contact, we need interaction,
Speaker 1: like it's important in these hideous times.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think I'm gonna I think the appreciation
Speaker 4: of it is going to stick with me for a
Speaker 4: little while at least.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've really been having the best time. Yeah, and
Speaker 4: good hanging out with my dad is so fun. Even
Speaker 4: last night, simple things. I was we eat so fast,
Speaker 4: all of us, when like our food's going to get
Speaker 4: taken away. Oh, I've already told you that. But we
Speaker 4: eat so fast, and I guess have sharp molars. My
Speaker 4: dad said, we have sharp molars. I'm always biting my cheeks.
Speaker 4: I'm biting the side of my cheeks. I always have
Speaker 4: had little sores from my sharp teeth, biting my cheeks.
Speaker 4: And I was watching my dad eat and he was
Speaker 4: really going for it, and then he just stops and
Speaker 4: puts his hand on his cheek, and I saw it happen,
Speaker 4: and then right then I bit my cheek and because
Speaker 4: it was like I did it on purpose, and so anyway,
Speaker 4: it was actually I bit my lip and it's very painful,
Speaker 4: and I keep biting it throughout the day.
Speaker 1: Right because it swells up and then it gets in
Speaker 1: your line of teeth and then you keep I've had
Speaker 1: that happen where you get a little nodule. It usually
Speaker 1: happens on the side of my mouth. You bite it once,
Speaker 1: then you bite it nineteen more times.
Speaker 4: And it is so painful every time. It's so much
Speaker 4: pain that after you bite it four or five times,
Speaker 4: because yeah, the nodule is there, it's there, it hurts
Speaker 4: so much that I just laugh. It makes like when
Speaker 4: pain it's really I'm like, well, that pain's ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And I.
Speaker 4: Bet it many times today. But in support and supporting
Speaker 4: they do it is enunciate and I should be fine.
Speaker 1: Okay, good. I like the idea that your dad was
Speaker 1: trying to say that you as a family have sharp
Speaker 1: molers as opposed to the rest of humanoids on this planet.
Speaker 4: I know, don't we all?
Speaker 1: I know? I mean, isn't that the meat area?
Speaker 4: I bite my cheek every other meal? Though I don't
Speaker 4: think that's normal.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess I don't. I don't understand as a
Speaker 1: person who also eats fast. And my sister and I
Speaker 1: used to get yelled at all the time at dinner
Speaker 1: of like slow down whatever. But I would be like
Speaker 1: you people made us wait till seven thirty to eat dinner.
Speaker 1: So if I have to house this minute rice because
Speaker 1: I'm fucking starving, that's on you, mom.
Speaker 4: But how's it? I love it. It's getting housed.
Speaker 1: It's getting housed, bro. But I'm talking to my mom.
Speaker 1: But don't you like, first of all, it's really fun.
Speaker 1: Once you have a plate of food in front of you,
Speaker 1: you're genuinely hungry. I don't get the people that eat slow,
Speaker 1: like do they have an ulcer? How do you? How
Speaker 1: do you do it where you're like, take a bite,
Speaker 1: put your fork down.
Speaker 4: And then talk about each other's day. That is something
Speaker 4: that always gave me the creeps. How were still today?
Speaker 4: My friends would tell me they had these dinner time conversations.
Speaker 4: It was a time to talk to your parents. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and not not us, no eye contact, hunched over day,
Speaker 4: loves so surrounding the circumference of the plate. Yeah, not
Speaker 4: a word.
Speaker 1: Prison stance, Yeah yeah, get it down, talk later and
Speaker 1: talk about dessert later.
Speaker 4: There's plenty of time to talk. Plus you're not going
Speaker 4: to have food in your mouth. We have like when
Speaker 4: you're to Dennis and they're asking you questions and their
Speaker 4: fingers are in there. It's just a terrible time for me.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you that my family came down last
Speaker 1: week because they were trying to get away from the
Speaker 1: smoke in northern California? Oh wow, No, I didn't know
Speaker 1: that the smoke was so bad that they were like,
Speaker 1: can we come to La please because the air quality
Speaker 1: is so much better. I was like absolutely so. Laura
Speaker 1: and Norah and my dad came down and we had
Speaker 1: the best time. Normally, I mean, like where do we
Speaker 1: all get along in general? But the older my dad gets,
Speaker 1: the more bickering there is because he can't hear, and
Speaker 1: he's like he's just kind of naturally argumentative. So then
Speaker 1: he'll be like, where's how do I turn this DV on?
Speaker 1: And everything he's saying everything like he's starting a fight,
Speaker 1: and then you kind of are like, Dad, it's right here.
Speaker 1: It's like, calm down, you're fine. And then if he
Speaker 1: asked you, like one more question, it'll be in the
Speaker 1: same tone. So then you get I should say I
Speaker 1: get mad. So normally yes, you just like, if you
Speaker 1: want to fight, I'll fight too. That's what you taught
Speaker 1: me as your daughter. That's what I do. But this
Speaker 1: time I was just so excited to have human beings
Speaker 1: around me. It's like everything he did was charming, wonderful,
Speaker 1: and we had the best time, and my sister was
Speaker 1: this was my favorite. My sister approximated. We had my
Speaker 1: cousin Pete over for dinner one night and there was
Speaker 1: this salad my sister was gonna make like a regular salad,
Speaker 1: and then I go, there's the salad I used to
Speaker 1: order from this restaurant that closed. I described it to her.
Speaker 1: She recreated it and to the to a tea like
Speaker 1: and it was I mean.
Speaker 4: Did you describe it like a list of ingredients? How
Speaker 4: did you I'm telling.
Speaker 1: A story about my sister making salad, like it's a
Speaker 1: really good story. I just realized, Yeah, I can't believe
Speaker 1: she recreated it.
Speaker 4: I'm in did it?
Speaker 1: She did it? And it was you know what it was?
Speaker 1: The key was the salad dressing was balsamic glaze, which
Speaker 1: I thought I've never like. It was the only restaurant
Speaker 1: I'd ever had. It was like a It was just
Speaker 1: a kind of a salad with blue cheese. It had crouton,
Speaker 1: polentic croutons, fried onions and this and then this balsamic glaze.
Speaker 1: It was just a perfect delicious commedity.
Speaker 4: You put the balsamic in a pan and you do
Speaker 4: some kind of reduction.
Speaker 1: Yes, and all it is though, so I thought it
Speaker 1: was like very difficult, and I've never even I never
Speaker 1: I thought it was so hard to do that. I
Speaker 1: never even tried to look what the recipe would be. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my sister looks it up. It's balsamic vinegar and brown sugar,
Speaker 1: that's it. And you just basically melt the sugar into
Speaker 1: the balsamic and let it like thicken. And that's the
Speaker 1: entire thing. She just did it. And now I love
Speaker 1: my sister even more for making me my favorite salad.
Speaker 4: Did they go back? Are the fires not? Are there
Speaker 4: not five hundred year old redwoods burning? Because that makes
Speaker 4: me sad.
Speaker 1: They didn't. Those things didn't burn those things, but those redwoods,
Speaker 1: those things, those old things, fucking those old giants. Don't
Speaker 1: worry about those guys.
Speaker 4: But they're just still walking and talking in a fantasy
Speaker 4: type way, right.
Speaker 1: They're still throwing apples at Dorothy. And her friend is okay, good. Well.
Speaker 1: You know my cousin Stevie, who is a big nature
Speaker 1: we drove through one time the aftermath of a forest
Speaker 1: that had burned, like some huge forest fire, and I
Speaker 1: was like, this is so depressing. The planet is ending,
Speaker 1: and he goes, no, no, no, this is actually the
Speaker 1: way it works. Is it's really good for forests to
Speaker 1: burn every once in a while and then it like
Speaker 1: all the ash goes into the soil and then the
Speaker 1: trees that replace it are like bigger, stronger, whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's an approximation of his explanation, but it was like, basically,
Speaker 1: it's good for forest to burn. Every say, fifty years
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 4: Right, but now because of global warming, it's happening ten
Speaker 4: times as much. So I wonder, yeah, if we.
Speaker 1: Are it's ten times better.
Speaker 4: Or half as bad. Yeah, yeah, I think.
Speaker 1: Those trees are if they're five thousand years old, I
Speaker 1: trust that they're going to figure it out. They're going
Speaker 1: to get they're going to pick up their roots and
Speaker 1: go somewhere.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad there. I just thought the tree that
Speaker 4: you drive through, or I drove through once. I wasn't driving.
Speaker 4: I was two years old, but I was so worried
Speaker 4: that that specific tree was burning because all the smoke
Speaker 4: just came up to Montana. We don't have usually in
Speaker 4: August everything's on fire and it hasn't been that bad,
Speaker 4: but oh good. You couldn't see everyone's I was I
Speaker 4: had a sore throat. It was somewhat and then I
Speaker 4: think I have a virus. But it was smoke from
Speaker 4: California coming really you got it over there, ah way
Speaker 4: up here.
Speaker 1: It was my uh there was The smoke was so
Speaker 1: bad that they were being told not to go outside.
Speaker 1: That's why they ended up coming down. But then they
Speaker 1: went they went back, So it was like the bad air.
Speaker 1: So like the air quality, the worst it is, the
Speaker 1: higher the number goes. So in the valley it was
Speaker 1: like say fifty, and in Pedaluma when they left there
Speaker 1: it was one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 4: Oh wow.
Speaker 1: And then they stayed for a week and then Nora
Speaker 1: had started school. It's the first year of eighth grade,
Speaker 1: so she was trying to log on and do all
Speaker 1: the stuff, and it was getting really harried for her.
Speaker 1: So my sister's like, she's getting stry, so we'll go back.
Speaker 1: When they went back, the air quality, the number was
Speaker 1: in the four hundreds. It was it was like three
Speaker 1: times worse than when they left.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they because they had fires. They now have
Speaker 1: fires north, south, and east of them in every direction
Speaker 1: except the fucking ocean. So it's very bad up there.
Speaker 1: But I sent her a I sent her an air
Speaker 1: pure fire for her house.
Speaker 4: Well, then that'll undo it.
Speaker 1: Now I put all those fucking fires out.
Speaker 4: Growing up in Missoula, there's there was two paper mills
Speaker 4: that used to be what the the the industry Industrila was. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's these mills that my father has painted pictures of
Speaker 4: because they're closed and abandoned. But every morning you would
Speaker 4: check the news to see what the air quality alert was.
Speaker 4: And I had to wear masks when I was a
Speaker 4: little kid walking to school, like the really yeah, and
Speaker 4: now that those are closed, our air is much better.
Speaker 4: But I grew up breathe and chemical bad air that
Speaker 4: smelled like chlorine and glue. It was just paper two
Speaker 4: of them on each side of town. And now, yeah,
Speaker 4: paper mills.
Speaker 1: There was. There's one that's like right on the other
Speaker 1: the bridge across the river from Portland, and man, that
Speaker 1: thing smells.
Speaker 4: You cut down all the trees though, like they're too
Speaker 4: far away. Now that the business is just like, well,
Speaker 4: let's get our trees from Canada. But the wood here,
Speaker 4: my dad was saying, is better quality because you can
Speaker 4: grow a giant tree that's ready to be turned into
Speaker 4: two by fours in six years, whereas in Japan it
Speaker 4: takes twenty years or whatever for that kind of maple tree.
Speaker 4: It's kind of I don't know if it's interesting.
Speaker 1: I'm deciding and I haven't landed on what this whole
Speaker 1: conversation where it is on the interest meter, it's.
Speaker 4: There, wait till I start talking about the fertility of soil.
Speaker 4: Our soil. They used to say when homesteaders were coming
Speaker 4: to Montana that the soil is so fertile that you
Speaker 4: can come to Montana and grow bananas, and that was
Speaker 4: not true. But it is a testament to our soil
Speaker 4: and the fact that the trees here grew up to
Speaker 4: four times as fast Karen and I mentioned before. When
Speaker 4: they grow that fast, they are denser, they are stronger.
Speaker 4: It makes for better.
Speaker 1: Wood and people, ladies and gentlemen, Missoula, Montana. Let's hear it.
Speaker 1: Individual applause wherever you are listening to this podcast.
Speaker 4: Yes, give it a good job seeing who you are.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the income is now. Californian's coming
Speaker 4: here to hide tourism. People keep honking at me. I
Speaker 4: heard a lady Haunt. She had one of those horns
Speaker 4: installed in her truck that went a eruga. She honked
Speaker 4: and then said go back, which I had something to
Speaker 4: do with my California plates.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get you license plate holders that say
Speaker 1: fuck off, I'm from here.
Speaker 4: I was thinking of just spring putting that on my
Speaker 4: back window, like just married. I'm a Packton Panther, University
Speaker 4: of Montana class of ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Well, I think that's a great lesson for all of us.
Speaker 1: This reminds me it's similar to, you know, we're all
Speaker 1: very sensitive these days, we're all very ready for a fight.
Speaker 1: We're all very frustrated. Whatever side of the political spectrum
Speaker 1: we live on, everybody wants to fight with everybody. I
Speaker 1: was in a waiting room the other day because I
Speaker 1: had to go for a doctor's appointment, and I was
Speaker 1: very stressed out about it and all the like. If
Speaker 1: you know, in a waiting room, there's like three chairs
Speaker 1: right next to each other, right in a row. They've
Speaker 1: come and taped off the middle chair, so you can't
Speaker 1: sit directly next to people, but you could sit three
Speaker 1: within three feet of somebody. And so this lady came
Speaker 1: and sat down right next to me. I got all upset,
Speaker 1: and I was about to because there was chairs, you know,
Speaker 1: ten feet away that she just sat in, but they
Speaker 1: were slightly around the corner. And what I didn't see
Speaker 1: is there was already a lady at that pod. So
Speaker 1: I was getting ready to be like, so you're just
Speaker 1: gonna sit here like I wanted to do it, and
Speaker 1: thank God, somebody came out and got the other lady,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, oh, thank God, I didn't.
Speaker 1: But but we're all so ready to be like you're
Speaker 1: the one that wants to do it wrong and that's wrong,
Speaker 1: Like it's wrong of me to want to fight like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no I am. I'm just as guilty. I'm
Speaker 4: just dis close. I decided things about that lady that
Speaker 4: said go home that maybe aren't true about her, and
Speaker 4: maybe I shouldn't have followed her to see where she lives.
Speaker 4: I just thought that she would be an old neighbor
Speaker 4: of mine and I could really make her feel bad
Speaker 4: by going it's little Chris Fairbanks. Yeah, because I thought
Speaker 4: I recognized her so that we want to hear I
Speaker 4: didn't follow her in a threatening way. Now this seems weird.
Speaker 4: I want to you did follow That's an old friend
Speaker 4: of mine. Boy, is she gonna feel guilty? That's why
Speaker 4: I and I gave up after a couple of blocks. Everyone,
Speaker 4: I'm not a weirdo.
Speaker 1: Boy is she gonna feel guilty when I pull this
Speaker 1: shotgun out of the back seat and wave it around?
Speaker 4: You know, I don't have a shotgun, but I do
Speaker 4: have a billy club and I want to wait the
Speaker 4: shit out of it.
Speaker 1: Did I tell you this story? Our friend Adrian is
Speaker 1: working at a store that's opened, but obviously there's a
Speaker 1: mask requirement, and she's not loving it, of course, because
Speaker 1: there's lots of bad behavior, and there was a lady
Speaker 1: who came in and needed I think a lot of
Speaker 1: these people are lonely, and I'm not trying to be mean.
Speaker 1: I think it's the truth. I think like people that
Speaker 1: go out into the world and start trying to start
Speaker 1: a fight about masks, I think are desperate for human
Speaker 1: engagement and it's like the only way they know how
Speaker 1: to kind of do it, where to get everyone to
Speaker 1: turn their head. So apparently this lady walked into their
Speaker 1: store and started going like, oh, the mask requirement. Oh sorry,
Speaker 1: I guess there's been so many debts have you guys
Speaker 1: had a death in this store, and the person I knew,
Speaker 1: Adrian that worked there, was about to be like, get
Speaker 1: the fucking you know what I mean, like she's instead
Speaker 1: the lady that she was working with turned around and go, well,
Speaker 1: my brother died last month of COVID and then it
Speaker 1: was just fucking dead silent.
Speaker 4: And the lady loved where.
Speaker 1: It's like whatever thing your head is being filled with
Speaker 1: about how this isn't happening, or it's not real or
Speaker 1: whatever you're trying to make yourself feel better about. You
Speaker 1: should check it before you start throwing it in people's faces,
Speaker 1: because people are dying. People are dying.
Speaker 4: Did you see there's a video? And I re posted
Speaker 4: it on Instagram everybody, but it probably is gone now.
Speaker 1: But there's the underlying Fairbanks.
Speaker 4: A guy that was waiting outside to make fun of
Speaker 4: and try and do a video about this guy that
Speaker 4: is like, this guy never showers. I'm going to say, hey, man,
Speaker 4: why don't you take care of yourself? Why are you
Speaker 4: always smelly? And the guy was like, oh, really, did
Speaker 4: you have a bath this morning? Well, I don't have
Speaker 4: a place to bathe. I would love to shower every day,
Speaker 4: but I'm probably going to be wearing these clothes tomorrow
Speaker 4: and the next day and the next day because I
Speaker 4: don't have a choice. Next question, and the guy was like, oh,
Speaker 4: oh no, no, no, no, you're good, You're good. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm good, And he want this this homeless guy just
Speaker 4: shut him down in a way because maybe they're sort
Speaker 4: of but it was it supposed to be like.
Speaker 1: A prank or like.
Speaker 4: Some kind of I think this guy was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: he was being a dick, of course, but yeah, the
Speaker 4: guy just casually said I would love to shower, but
Speaker 4: I just can't. And this guy felt awful. He felt awful,
Speaker 4: and you could hear his voice. His breath just deflated
Speaker 4: from him, and he's like, oh wow. So it was
Speaker 4: the same thing as like, yeah, that lady in the store.
Speaker 1: It's just he got You kind of live in this
Speaker 1: little world and you think that your world is the world,
Speaker 1: and then you when you go and test that out,
Speaker 1: you get a big slap across the face of like
Speaker 1: tragic reality. Just be tiny bit smarter where you don't
Speaker 1: mean it's not your job to police other people. It's
Speaker 1: your job to fucking police yourself self. Dit shit, they're
Speaker 1: not listening. I'm sorry. They are our own dedicated listeners.
Speaker 4: We everyone right now is thinking of an example and learning.
Speaker 1: I just want to learn and judge, Why can't I
Speaker 1: teach you how to do stuff and while continuing to
Speaker 1: do it myself? That's what I'd like.
Speaker 4: I think it's a great way to learn.
Speaker 1: Should we uh take some questions?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, let's do that forgot? Do you want that
Speaker 4: to look forward to?
Speaker 1: Do you have more stuff? To table, because we can
Speaker 1: also talk about we could go back to my sister's
Speaker 1: salad if you want to do that.
Speaker 4: I was, I was gonna. Do you mind if I
Speaker 4: haphazardly explain a video that wasn't even that interesting to
Speaker 4: watch in the first place, I can draw it out longer.
Speaker 4: I can draw it out longer. I can can admit
Speaker 4: story and make make stuff up that wasn't even in
Speaker 4: the video, which I'm known to do.
Speaker 1: That's what I like to do.
Speaker 4: Now, let's answer questions well. Continuing on that, Hello skate Summer,
Speaker 4: Hello Steven. Hello, I'm back.
Speaker 3: I'm not in the camper anymore, and I'm very sad.
Speaker 1: Stephen's been recording podcasts for the Exactly Right podcast Network.
Speaker 1: If you haven't listened to all of our podcasts, please
Speaker 1: go ahead to go over to exactly right dot net,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly right media dot com. Thank you, Steven. Take
Speaker 1: a look at our wild and wide array of wonderful podcasts.
Speaker 1: But Stephen is our engineer, and he is not. If
Speaker 1: it's not Steven, it's nobody. And so he went to
Speaker 1: see some family and get out of town and basically
Speaker 1: engineered podcasts from the road from an airstream trailer, just
Speaker 1: like Lucille ball over on a cliff.
Speaker 4: I couldn't treat that episode of I Love Lucy where
Speaker 4: she's engineering a podcast. Yeah, where she's online in a
Speaker 4: in a street, in a trailer. Yeah. It was weird
Speaker 4: when she became a sound engineer.
Speaker 1: I know, but I liked it because, like she had
Speaker 1: a career you're talking about. Okay, Stephen, we're glad you're back.
Speaker 3: No, I'm glad to be back.
Speaker 4: Save us.
Speaker 3: We're being boring, all right. This is this is a
Speaker 3: good one to start with. This is from Dorcas Melorcas
Speaker 3: on Twitter. Nice ties into summer. What is the most
Speaker 3: regrettable summer fashion choice from the past?
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I.
Speaker 1: Can go into this quickly. Yes, for me, there was
Speaker 1: a I would say senior year of high school. I
Speaker 1: started wearing shorts all the time. Uh, sometimes with tights
Speaker 1: and sometimes just you know, for fun. But I had
Speaker 1: a pair. I can still feel them sometimes at night,
Speaker 1: of wool plaid shorts. It's it's I was wearing their
Speaker 1: shorts when I went to the Mister Bunkle Show.
Speaker 4: Oh you remember looking down trying to avert Mike Patten's
Speaker 4: eye contact, just to look at your own choice.
Speaker 1: I was nervously rubbing my my thighs together with this
Speaker 1: most abrasive wool plaid shorts of all time making and
Speaker 1: get noises going, why is he looking at me? Of
Speaker 1: all people? But I would wear those with you know,
Speaker 1: really thick, tall, like scrunchy socks and then like black
Speaker 1: pat and leather Oxford's and it just like there's no
Speaker 1: way it looked good and it felt terrible. It felt
Speaker 1: it was like it was like a little bit torturous,
Speaker 1: and it was summer, so it was like nothing about
Speaker 1: any of it worked.
Speaker 4: Your one piece, what is it a jumper? Or you
Speaker 4: were going to show a picture of it. People were
Speaker 4: very you gotta.
Speaker 1: Find that shit. I forgot I have that picture.
Speaker 4: I can't find a picture of the plaid Mike Patten shorts.
Speaker 4: You gotta find that.
Speaker 1: Hopefully those are long gone a barriage, although my friend
Speaker 1: Patty Riley might have a picture, because she seems to
Speaker 1: have pictures of this era of our lives, which is
Speaker 1: you know, late high school. But the other one was, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was a romper. So it was shorts that looked
Speaker 1: like a skirt connected to the shirt, and then it
Speaker 1: was all kind of flouncy and it was white and
Speaker 1: lavender stripes, and it was just a terrible, terrible choice.
Speaker 4: I guess I'm remembering the summer I lived with seven
Speaker 4: friends in one house. I found my friend Andrew, who
Speaker 4: I just hung out with for the first time in years.
Speaker 4: He's so fun. But his mom, for some reason, he
Speaker 4: had his mom's old ski clothes. And there was this
Speaker 4: one piece overall kind of a jumper. There was a
Speaker 4: belt in the middle with one of those one of
Speaker 4: those buckles where you just run the belt back through
Speaker 4: it and tighten it on itself. And it was kelly
Speaker 4: green and I wore it repeatedly, and I do have
Speaker 4: pictures of that in the summer. Roll forward those in
Speaker 4: the summer, and it was made for skiing in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we had those for like that. You could
Speaker 1: rent them from big big five rents.
Speaker 4: Yeah. These I doubt they were even waterproof. They're polyester skiwaar. Yeah,
Speaker 4: stretchy and yes, comfortable, which is why I wore them.
Speaker 4: But too warm and maybe I shouldn't slept them in them.
Speaker 4: There was some drinking anyway. The point is I have
Speaker 4: a picture of you're wearing them while drinking, and also
Speaker 4: I did a lot of I think the style of
Speaker 4: skateboarding was to wear one T shirt and then have
Speaker 4: the other T shirt just tucked into your shorts and
Speaker 4: you like an ass flap. I don't know why. It
Speaker 4: was just to have motion streamers. I think Christian hosts
Speaker 4: always started this thing where it shows your mot like
Speaker 4: like dance routines. They have the streamers and it just
Speaker 4: it was kind of like that. It made skateboarding look
Speaker 4: more like dance. But I didn't have skate brands. I
Speaker 4: just had Gotcha and catch It. So I had the
Speaker 4: wrong brand of shirts hanging out and so I might
Speaker 4: be able to find one of those pictures too.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. I remember the well tying a plaid flannel
Speaker 1: shirt around your waist in the nineties, you know the grunge. Oh,
Speaker 1: the grunge fashion era did not serve me in any
Speaker 1: way because I already I didn't have the the It
Speaker 1: was great for people who are skinny. Then you could
Speaker 1: wear a shirt, a thermal shirt, a flannel shirt, and
Speaker 1: you could tie a thing on a whatever.
Speaker 4: Yeah layer me no reasons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're all layered up in case you go
Speaker 1: try to go cut down a big tree. With a partner,
Speaker 1: saw a partner, but if you're just a girl trying
Speaker 1: to hang out, it looked terrible. And my mother would
Speaker 1: constantly be like, please take that off. I don't know
Speaker 1: what you're doing, and she would be really upset. I'm like, Mom,
Speaker 1: I get to do what I want. Well, when I
Speaker 1: look at pictures now of that period of time, I
Speaker 1: was like, she was so right. She'd be like, you
Speaker 1: look like a hobo. What if the Dennis sees you
Speaker 1: when you know, like if I was going out to
Speaker 1: do something, she'd be like, on the verge of tears.
Speaker 1: And I was always like, you're a lunatic. And now
Speaker 1: I look at those pictures. She was objectively correct. It
Speaker 1: was a terrible era.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it was. I want to say, and I'm
Speaker 4: not bragging, but I did have decent I looked. I
Speaker 4: didn't engage in a lot of style. A lot of
Speaker 4: my friends wore a white turtleneck underneath their favorite T
Speaker 4: shirt to school. Yet it provided a little warmth. But
Speaker 4: you're blatantly you're also wearing a T shirt that doesn't
Speaker 4: serve any purpose other than like, look I got this
Speaker 4: Swatch T shirt or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, body gloves.
Speaker 4: I will never wear a turtleneck. I will never wear
Speaker 4: long sleeves under a t shirt. And I have to
Speaker 4: say I was at the forefront because I refuse to
Speaker 4: do that and a lot of my friends. You think
Speaker 4: I'd succumb to it in sixth grade, but I refused
Speaker 4: to wear a turtle.
Speaker 1: You know. A lot of fashion is refusal. A lot
Speaker 1: of fashion is saying no, I won't do that vision,
Speaker 1: but I can't.
Speaker 4: And ignoring layers. Yeah, even during a time where other
Speaker 4: people are layering. Yes, sorry, any better, Eddie Brown b neck.
Speaker 4: I don't need to deal with it.
Speaker 1: Okay, next cut, next question? Even know what we were
Speaker 1: doing there?
Speaker 4: Hillary? Have I told you about my sister's salad? What
Speaker 4: if I had? Okay?
Speaker 3: Oh here from Hillary LACROWX. Did you have a tree
Speaker 3: house growing up?
Speaker 4: Good question? No, and I always wanted one, you know,
Speaker 4: but what But but I did climb a lot of
Speaker 4: trees and just kind of would wedge my legs straight
Speaker 4: between branches and pretended I was sitting on a series
Speaker 4: of two by fours. Sure, And I sat in a
Speaker 4: tree at my friend that just bought a house he
Speaker 4: moved here, uh and his kids. It came with a
Speaker 4: treehouse in the back. I immediately climbed up that I'm
Speaker 4: regressing to childhood so much that the minute I was
Speaker 4: supposed to say hi to his wife and the kids,
Speaker 4: and I just ran to the treehouse and flattened up
Speaker 4: it because I am turning to a child again.
Speaker 1: But I think it's healthy.
Speaker 4: Did you have a treehouse?
Speaker 1: We didn't, Well, but we did. I just told this
Speaker 1: story my favorite murder. But it was like when I
Speaker 1: remembered it, it was like having a recovered memory because
Speaker 1: I lived so we lived out in the country, and
Speaker 1: so there used to be a bunch of chicken farms
Speaker 1: all throughout you know where I grew up, So there
Speaker 1: were lots of free standing. It's like shit you'd see
Speaker 1: now if you were at like a an art an
Speaker 1: art fair and wine country, there'd be like an area
Speaker 1: where they'd have just a bunch of paintings of buildings,
Speaker 1: barns that are kind of like slowly falling apart. That
Speaker 1: was That's where I grew up. So there was tons
Speaker 1: and tons of like poultry, big huge chicken coops that
Speaker 1: nobody used and they were just falling apart in a field. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: we at my first house a week up in the field.
Speaker 1: Next to it, there were two very small chicken coops
Speaker 1: next to each other, literally like I would say, they
Speaker 1: were like six feet high and fifteen feet long. So they,
Speaker 1: my sister and I each got our own playhouse. So
Speaker 1: one it was like we lived next door to each
Speaker 1: other in these playhouses, and they were very big to
Speaker 1: us because we were like five and six. And then
Speaker 1: one day we're out there playing and it was like,
Speaker 1: what we decided, this is the house we live in.
Speaker 1: That's the school house. We were doing all this stuff.
Speaker 1: So we're in the house, pretending, pretending, pretending, and there's
Speaker 1: a knock on the door and my sister opens it
Speaker 1: and it's my dad and he's got the back seat
Speaker 1: of the volkswagen and he's redoing on his shoulder and
Speaker 1: he goes, delivery man, your couch is here, and he
Speaker 1: comes playing along with what we're playing and delivers us
Speaker 1: a couch for the house.
Speaker 4: Oh that's the sweetest yep.
Speaker 1: And then there was like old we found old desks somewhere,
Speaker 1: so we put them in the other one, and that
Speaker 1: was the school house whatever we had it. So it
Speaker 1: was on the ground, but it was very much like
Speaker 1: a child's wonderland.
Speaker 4: And then when you'd get in the car to drive somewhere,
Speaker 4: you just lay it on the back floor of the
Speaker 4: car because the seat was in your playhouse.
Speaker 1: It was standing only in the back of the car.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's how it was. In the Volkswagen Bus, I
Speaker 4: just stand there in the middle of it, and Dad
Speaker 4: had slam on the brakes and I'd fly to the
Speaker 4: front and suddenly be next to him in the gearshift.
Speaker 1: Hi Dad, Yeah, hey Dad, we should get insurance.
Speaker 4: Yeah. When I in Monterey, when I was very little,
Speaker 4: I don't remember it, but I've seen pictures. We had
Speaker 4: a little playhouse and my sister would just kind of
Speaker 4: prop me up because I did know how to sit
Speaker 4: on my own, and then i'd tip over. But I
Speaker 4: do remember, I swear I remember the spiders that were
Speaker 4: in there, just giant striders.
Speaker 1: Horrifying.
Speaker 4: When your kids, you're a kid in the seventies, you
Speaker 4: just played with spiders.
Speaker 1: I remember getting into the back seat of the ford
Speaker 1: my parents owned at the time and seeing a spider
Speaker 1: on the back seat and then just sitting on it anyway,
Speaker 1: because I was just like, look at that, sitting on it,
Speaker 1: and then be like, oh, immediately getting bit by it.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's how I learned not to do shit
Speaker 1: like that.
Speaker 4: You knowingly sat on a spider and it bit you
Speaker 4: in the ass.
Speaker 1: I was really stupid as a child, for real. I
Speaker 1: used to I remember I distinct. One of my earliest
Speaker 1: memories is my cousin Stevie and I walking up the
Speaker 1: street to his house from our house because they were
Speaker 1: an ext door neighbor, and I leaned down to pick
Speaker 1: up a piece of popcorn that was on the side
Speaker 1: on the street to eat it, and he slapped it
Speaker 1: out of my head. Go don't eat off the street,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, okay, Like no one had
Speaker 1: briefed me on that before. It was hilarious.
Speaker 4: I ate a spider on a taco chip with a
Speaker 4: little bit of saltsa for twenty dollars at a party
Speaker 4: when I was like fifteen. All the other skaters were
Speaker 4: like graduated already, and I thought that they would think
Speaker 4: it was cool, and I think they did.
Speaker 1: I bet they did.
Speaker 4: I was like it was all in the delivery of like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I don't give a shit and I ate the spider,
Speaker 4: and but it was bitter. There was enough salsa that
Speaker 4: it was just and it wasn't alive.
Speaker 1: It was like that, oh that's good.
Speaker 4: But it was a big spider and I was conscious
Speaker 4: that it is in my.
Speaker 1: Mouth a dime a quarter.
Speaker 4: Hey, don't you can't. You're the one that knowingly sat
Speaker 4: on life spiders and got bit in the ass. And
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but you deserved it. This was a dead
Speaker 4: spider on a chip. Twenty dollars, Karen, twenty dollars for nothing.
Speaker 1: Twenty dollars in nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 4: Do you realize how far that went? I could support
Speaker 4: my entire family.
Speaker 1: Do you know how many turtlenecks you can buy with
Speaker 1: twenty dollars and how much.
Speaker 4: Money you save if you refuse to wear them? I
Speaker 4: was rich? Okay, I'm becoming Why did I just sound
Speaker 4: like so and so's impression of whoever? Anyway? I was rich?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, all right, next question, Okay, sorry, this is
Speaker 1: from Evans.
Speaker 3: Brad. How did you learn to swim growing up?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 1: Brad Evans, I know you're from Twitter. You're very funny.
Speaker 1: If it's the broad Evans I know from Twitter. Well,
Speaker 1: we took lessons at the Leones House, which was a
Speaker 1: family in our town that I also went to school
Speaker 1: with their kids, and they had this They had a
Speaker 1: beautiful Victorian house and then in the backyard they had
Speaker 1: this big, like an Olympic sized pool in their backyard,
Speaker 1: and so the daughters, I believe it was the daughters
Speaker 1: taught kids swimming lessons, and so we learned in their
Speaker 1: in their pool. Aside from like you know, just like
Speaker 1: we used to go to a place called Morton's Warm
Speaker 1: Springs that was in glenn Allen over near Sonoma. That
Speaker 1: was the best. It was the best. And it was
Speaker 1: like out in the middle of fields and a lot
Speaker 1: of horse farms, and then suddenly you turned down the
Speaker 1: street and there was just this kind of like little
Speaker 1: resort and it was they had three sizes of pool.
Speaker 1: So there was like the baby pool, which was literally
Speaker 1: just a circle of warm water filled with pea, and
Speaker 1: then there was the medium sized pool where it was
Speaker 1: pretty pretty much like five feet across the whole way
Speaker 1: still deep in yeah, and there's yeah, there was like
Speaker 1: a two cups of pea and then.
Speaker 4: Oh, it almost made.
Speaker 1: Christophers fittake on my keyboard or onto your knee.
Speaker 4: Board about a keyboard. Then I bought a kneyboard that's
Speaker 4: how I ruined my old computer, by the way, I
Speaker 4: sneezed and the keyboard sparks flew out for me. Yeah, iz,
Speaker 4: did it have a cold? No, I just I build
Speaker 4: up a lot of saliva. Its because I have sharp molars.
Speaker 1: Oh right, right, I remember. So basically we learned by
Speaker 1: you always wanted to get into that bigger pool. So
Speaker 1: if you were in the baby pool, You're like, this sucks,
Speaker 1: I gotta get over there. So we like we just
Speaker 1: I I remember always wanting just wim and having it
Speaker 1: be important to me. So yeah, so I believe the
Speaker 1: Leoni daughters talking to Star of being married to David Viny,
Speaker 1: of being married to David Duchuvney. But but then Morton's
Speaker 1: warm springs was a big piece of it, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: just getting in the pool and swimming back and forth.
Speaker 4: And I guess my parents there was never any importance
Speaker 4: to learning to swim. And I almost drowned. When I
Speaker 4: was a kid. We were canoeing and we were about
Speaker 4: to get out of the water, kind of floating sideways.
Speaker 4: My whole family in one canoe, and everyone stuck their
Speaker 4: oars against this bush because we're floating sideways into it
Speaker 4: tipped over right when we were about to get out
Speaker 4: of the river. Uh. And I immediately went under the canoe,
Speaker 4: which was upside down now, and just held on. But
Speaker 4: I was breathing in water. It was scary, and my
Speaker 4: dad thought I had disappeared, and he all to this
Speaker 4: day says it was the most horrifying. He was swimming
Speaker 4: everywhere trying to find me, and I was just under
Speaker 4: the upside on canoe. How old, oh I? I don't know,
Speaker 4: I'd have to ask him, certainly seven eight oh, okay.
Speaker 4: And I did not swim, and we had just taken
Speaker 4: off our life jackets. And I'll never forget and my
Speaker 4: sister always brings us up. When we finally got out
Speaker 4: and my dad found me, and my sister was crawling
Speaker 4: out of the water, and all she had was one
Speaker 4: flip flop and some sunscreen on the other hand, and
Speaker 4: she was like, saw that she had one flip flop
Speaker 4: and she just threw it back in the river. It
Speaker 4: was traumatic. It was like a serious I took in
Speaker 4: a lot of water and after that I was scared.
Speaker 4: I didn't really technically ever learn to swim until I
Speaker 4: bought a snorkel and my doctor was like, you need
Speaker 4: to swim because of your hip. So I didn't. Oh,
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 1: I could until that recently.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've surfed before, but you're wearing a
Speaker 4: wet suit that keeps you afloat. I never knew how
Speaker 4: to technically swim and breathe and go back and forth
Speaker 4: in a pool. I would always hold my breath and
Speaker 4: just swim one length of the pool and then breathe
Speaker 4: at the end. So I never learned how to swim. Shit,
Speaker 4: I'm okay at it.
Speaker 1: Now we'll get you some lessons.
Speaker 4: Hey, no, I'm telling you I teach him now. You
Speaker 4: just have a snorkel to come to my lessons. Snorkel,
Speaker 4: flip flops, nose plug, no judgment at my Yeah, and
Speaker 4: then COVID happened. Neveryone dropped out of my lessons.
Speaker 1: That just reminded me so growing up, my cousin Mike
Speaker 1: Anton Giovanni was a great swimmer and he would be
Speaker 1: in swim meets all the time and stuff. And when
Speaker 1: we were younger, so I was probably like five or so,
Speaker 1: they had a swim meet at their like I think
Speaker 1: it was their local kind of like we'll say country club,
Speaker 1: but that sounds rich, And it wasn't like that where
Speaker 1: the place where there was a pool but you had
Speaker 1: to pay, And it was this whole organized like little
Speaker 1: kid swim meet. And we walked in to go watch
Speaker 1: Mike do his thing, and the whistle was like one
Speaker 1: of my mom's favorite stories were walking over and the
Speaker 1: whistle goes off. So I just jumped in and swam
Speaker 1: along and raced along with the kids that were racing.
Speaker 1: Like the second it happened, I was like, oh shit,
Speaker 1: it's a race, and I jumped in and raced along too.
Speaker 4: That's your instinct with the whistle. But really it was
Speaker 4: a lifeguard blowing it because you guys were running or something.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, it was somebody going the race is starting.
Speaker 1: But it was like it just jumped in. I just
Speaker 1: fucking was like, I'm in this race too. I can
Speaker 1: I have a chance here?
Speaker 4: Please say you were just fully clothed, but instinct took over.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to ask my sister if she remembers
Speaker 1: that maybe.
Speaker 4: Short no wool in the pool.
Speaker 1: God damn it, it clogged the filter.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I tried to learn in in uh in college,
Speaker 4: I took a swim class like a health and Human
Speaker 4: performance class, and the guy was like, you sink. I
Speaker 4: don't understand you're kicking and you just sank and you
Speaker 4: don't move. I don't know. He was stumped. He basically
Speaker 4: told me to quit swimming. And so, yeah, it wasn't
Speaker 4: until my forties that I learned to swim. I'm embarrassed, fascinating, yeah,
Speaker 4: and scared of water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that accident, would that makes sense?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I like that question. We learned a little something new
Speaker 1: about Chris.
Speaker 4: Yeah, to push.
Speaker 1: Him in a pool next time, you see.
Speaker 4: It's the only way I'll learned. Treat me like a
Speaker 4: little baby. I still can't watch where they just throw
Speaker 4: babies into.
Speaker 1: Pools and they naturally can swim.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it still bothers me. I still think it's a
Speaker 4: form of abuse. I can't even listen to the first
Speaker 4: Nirvana album. Did you know that baby? That naked baby
Speaker 4: wants money?
Speaker 1: Now? For real?
Speaker 4: He just looks like he's just wearing a flannel and
Speaker 4: looks I like Kurt Cobain now. But it was their
Speaker 4: friend's baby, like Nirvana's friend's baby, and he's like, I
Speaker 4: want a piece of this money and the record label.
Speaker 4: I believe subpop probably is like, well, you don't get
Speaker 4: any weirdo.
Speaker 1: They're like, hey, here's the thing. We're the music industry.
Speaker 1: We don't even pay the musicians, so you're not getting
Speaker 1: a fuck all friends, and he.
Speaker 4: Got two hundred books or his parents did. Oh good,
Speaker 4: it's mad that they spent it.
Speaker 1: All.
Speaker 3: Right, next question, all right from oh underscore line, worst
Speaker 3: summer job you've ever had?
Speaker 4: Excuse me, I believed. I believe I've answered answered this
Speaker 4: because I that's why I talked about cutco door to
Speaker 4: door knife sales. Yeah, and I've exhausted that topic, but
Speaker 4: it is still along with the coupon book thing where
Speaker 4: grown men we would pick them up mid fist fight
Speaker 4: and I'd get in a car with these bloody rednecks.
Speaker 4: Those are the only two real summer jobs I had,
Speaker 4: because after that I started drawing pictures for people nice.
Speaker 1: I think my answer, if we did answer this before
Speaker 1: was the time that I worked at the Pedulum Affair
Speaker 1: and then afterwards was lightly accused of stealing from the
Speaker 1: It was like a family friend's stand where they sold
Speaker 1: bulk salted shelled peanuts and like candy and then one
Speaker 1: other thing, and at the end of the day and
Speaker 1: I think they paid me like two bucks or something.
Speaker 1: Fucking nuts, hardly anything. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: one of the friends called my mom was just like,
Speaker 1: did Karen take money? I was just like what, it
Speaker 1: was really weird.
Speaker 4: I wonder if you were stealing, like working for money,
Speaker 4: but stealing for peanuts. Yeah, I don't think. I think
Speaker 4: you're enough like me to where you would lose your
Speaker 4: shit and get mad when you're backed against the all
Speaker 4: and being accused of something.
Speaker 1: Well I was. I did because it sucked as a job,
Speaker 1: Like it was kind of like it'll be fun, you'll
Speaker 1: be at the fair. Well, it was under a tent,
Speaker 1: so it was boiling hot, and of course it's like
Speaker 1: it's basically I was working retail as like a ten
Speaker 1: year old. So it just sucked. And it was just
Speaker 1: like I'm just kind of taking handfuls of peanuts and
Speaker 1: putting in a bag or weighing them or I can
Speaker 1: barely remember, but I just do remember when that call
Speaker 1: came through and my mom was like, did you take money?
Speaker 1: And I was like no, what, Like I was like
Speaker 1: they should they should be calling and thanking me for
Speaker 1: working that shit job.
Speaker 4: I know, I'm off today because you literally are talking
Speaker 4: about a job where you're selling peanuts and I can't
Speaker 4: figure out the working for peanuts joke. But maybe it's
Speaker 4: a sign that I'm growing and I know that it's not.
Speaker 4: Puns aren't always the answer.
Speaker 1: Or maybe yeah, you're regressing back to a time in
Speaker 1: your childhood where you didn't feel the need to pun
Speaker 1: up every time someone told you a story.
Speaker 4: Right, I would usually go into a character or do
Speaker 4: something physical, fall downstairs, do that higher brow calm.
Speaker 1: How about you try to fall physically, joke, fall off
Speaker 1: the chair you're in right now.
Speaker 4: I mean, that makes no sense. I don't even know. Sorry, Okay,
Speaker 4: I actually heard my tail. I didn't. I didn't see.
Speaker 1: I think you slammed your head on the desk. That
Speaker 1: looks so.
Speaker 4: Dangerous it takes life. I didn't. I kicked it too
Speaker 4: far away and I really hit my butt on the
Speaker 4: on the foot rest of the stool. Oh and I'm
Speaker 4: not wearing my padded shorts. I kicked it too far away.
Speaker 4: But it's going away too bad.
Speaker 1: This is a podcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, for those of you listening, I fell on
Speaker 4: my ass and it hurt, but Karen made me do it.
Speaker 4: You all heard it set me up. I got set up.
Speaker 4: I'm okay, now, it's fine. It didn't hurt that bad siding.
Speaker 4: It's just a minor stomach ache.
Speaker 1: Now, okay, good. You should probably lean back and just
Speaker 1: take it easy for a second and just relax because
Speaker 1: you're you're safe in your chair now and nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 4: I wish I still had my teenage bedroom in here.
Speaker 4: I lay right in that waterbed. That gave me terrible
Speaker 4: posture for life.
Speaker 1: All right, Chris took the hit on that one. Nice.
Speaker 4: I remember what we were talking about.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Wait, was that we were ending the question right? That
Speaker 1: was the summer job question?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I never really Yeah, I never had a
Speaker 4: real summer job other than.
Speaker 3: The knives from at the Jenny. You go to a zoo,
Speaker 3: what's the first animal you check out?
Speaker 1: Okay, so you go to a zoo.
Speaker 4: I like to watch the tiger pacing around looking for
Speaker 4: an answer to life. That always cheers me up. If
Speaker 4: I go look at some monkeys that are stress shedding.
Speaker 4: I don't like zoos. I don't know about you. They've
Speaker 4: bummed me out since day one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're too small for the animal Also, I feel like,
Speaker 1: and I understand that you're just trying to get a
Speaker 1: sense of what our priorities are in terms of wild animals,
Speaker 1: but the zoo dictates the order in which you see animals,
Speaker 1: because you're not gonna be like, look away until we
Speaker 1: get to the hippopottoms, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: you just have to fucking observe what's there. I will
Speaker 1: say though, hippopottom my are my favorite to look at,
Speaker 1: except they're they're always in things of water that are
Speaker 1: too small, you know what I mean, Like at least
Speaker 1: in the couple of zoos that I've seen them in
Speaker 1: which that in alone is a bummer. And then one
Speaker 1: time at the La Zoo, we were all looking at
Speaker 1: this hip and basically what looked like it looked like
Speaker 1: a cartoon hippo bottomius and a cartoon bathtub. So it
Speaker 1: was a little too big, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It was like it looked like it was for comedic effect.
Speaker 1: And then it's somehow fait out a way to turn
Speaker 1: all the way around, so it's ass was to the
Speaker 1: crowd lift its ass up, and then just shit what
Speaker 1: looked like bales of hay into its own water, and
Speaker 1: the whole crowd was like like bummed, like bummed out.
Speaker 1: It was the funny. I was like, these animals are
Speaker 1: so fucking past aggressive in their misery.
Speaker 4: I love it when they do that shit ump. Welcome
Speaker 4: to the shit show, asshole.
Speaker 1: Yeah for real? So you want to look at something,
Speaker 1: how about you look at my asshole?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I guess.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 4: I've always wanted to go see penguins or sea otters
Speaker 4: because they're just kind of stoked. It's like, well, I
Speaker 4: wouldn't be traveling much more than this anyway, And you
Speaker 4: guys built me a water slide, and I have all
Speaker 4: the abaloney shells I can crack on my chest for life,
Speaker 4: like certain animals like the zoo, and that's who I
Speaker 4: want to go see. Yeah, but early on my mom
Speaker 4: was pete person, so I couldn't go to circuses or
Speaker 4: a zoo without being reminded of that they aren't enjoying it. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but no, I still want to see a bear on
Speaker 4: a unicycle out you know everything.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean that's just because you want to support
Speaker 1: that bear's talent.
Speaker 4: Everything every once in a while, Yeah, entertainment value and
Speaker 4: me knowing when I see talent I know talent will
Speaker 4: kind of surpass my you know, caring about its feelings.
Speaker 1: You're concerned.
Speaker 4: Yeah, must go on.
Speaker 1: No, I get it. This reminds me. I got it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I get it.
Speaker 1: This reminds me of there was a great news story
Speaker 1: that happened in the mid two thousands. Now, this was
Speaker 1: a tough time for the Kilgarre family. So when I
Speaker 1: would go up to visit, it was a little stressful
Speaker 1: always because my mom was getting sick and so there
Speaker 1: were times where we were very often all together unhappy.
Speaker 1: And so then when things like this would poke through,
Speaker 1: it would be like twenty times funnier than it normally
Speaker 1: would be.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, so there was this news story because there was
Speaker 1: a monkey named Banana Sam at the San Francisco Zoo
Speaker 1: that either escaped or was kidnapped out of the zoo,
Speaker 1: and so that was like this. It was kind of
Speaker 1: like the headline story on the local news for a
Speaker 1: couple days Banana Sam, Banana Sam, this, and Bananasam every time.
Speaker 1: His full name, Banana Sam, which the name alone made
Speaker 1: me laugh. And then they found Banana Sam in like
Speaker 1: Golden Gate Park. I think from I'm totally piecing this
Speaker 1: together because it was fifteen years ago, and my sister
Speaker 1: and I are like sitting there cracking up like they
Speaker 1: were they had to lure Banana Sam into a backpack
Speaker 1: or I can't. It was something, and we're just sitting
Speaker 1: there kind of like watching it and laughing and talking
Speaker 1: about the importance of Banana Sam. And finally that we
Speaker 1: changed the channel and that story was on the next
Speaker 1: news cast and my dad goes get rid of Banana Sam,
Speaker 1: all angry. It was the greatest. It was my favorite,
Speaker 1: and they talked about him like he was the fucking
Speaker 1: mayor of San Francisco. Was like this huge news story.
Speaker 4: Banana Sam T shirts.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but maybe we need some.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1: It was an epic, epic story.
Speaker 4: Someone had a great idea for T shirts that that
Speaker 4: either say I'm a Jim Fairbanks or I'm a Jim Kilgaroff.
Speaker 4: Like you take your pick. I think that might be.
Speaker 4: I mean, that's specific, deep cut shit, but that's what
Speaker 4: this is all about. Hey, how about I'm a I'm
Speaker 4: a Banana I'm a Banana Sam.
Speaker 1: I'm a Banana Sam. Banana Sam for life with a
Speaker 1: y Okay Stephen next Ques, Wait, did you get to answer,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that was the one.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah from at Shelley Underscore Novak underscore. What's the
Speaker 3: one thing you always forget when you leave the house?
Speaker 3: Good question, jelly yeah.
Speaker 4: I am going to say my and this isn't a
Speaker 4: fun or interesting answer, but it is usually nowadays a mask.
Speaker 4: I just leave and I'm like fuck again and I
Speaker 4: go get my mask. But the thing that I shouldn't
Speaker 4: my wallet. I am always leaving a wallet and showing
Speaker 4: up places and I don't have my wallet. I am
Speaker 4: it's so embarrassing to be like, oh, dinner's on me,
Speaker 4: you guys, I really don't have my wallet. Like I've
Speaker 4: done it. I've legitimately forgotten my wallet so many times
Speaker 4: because it hurts to sin on a wallet. I know.
Speaker 4: It's I'm a lot, it's harder to find like I
Speaker 4: don't have to deal with person. I'm a guy. It's
Speaker 4: like my keys are in my pocket, my Walt's in
Speaker 4: my back pocket. It's like, how do I fuck that up?
Speaker 4: But it hurts to sin on my wallet. It's bad
Speaker 4: for your hips. Those people out there with hip displays,
Speaker 4: no wallets go up front. You got to make sure
Speaker 4: you don't see it on them for hours while you're driving.
Speaker 4: So I tacked my wallet out nowadays, sorry, sorry, I
Speaker 4: hear you. Oh my god, it's banana Sam.
Speaker 1: Banana Sam is the backyard that sounded like fully work
Speaker 1: cold on once again. Okay, bears, Okay, so you're your
Speaker 1: thing is wallet.
Speaker 4: Yeah, answer is a boring answer, but I'm always forgetting
Speaker 4: my mom.
Speaker 1: But it's a truthful answer, and the truth is never boring.
Speaker 4: And it sets you free.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I was just thinking about this
Speaker 1: the other day because in my twenties and when I
Speaker 1: still drank, I was I forgot everything all the time. Ever,
Speaker 1: I was constantly locking myself out of my apartment or
Speaker 1: my apartment building. I never had a credit card or
Speaker 1: this or a whatever. I couldn't keep track of anything.
Speaker 1: And after I stopped drinking, and when I got a
Speaker 1: real job and stuff, and I just started forcing myself
Speaker 1: to be organized because my excuse was always like I'm
Speaker 1: just so disorganized and like creative or whatever.
Speaker 4: Stupid fucking excuse.
Speaker 1: And then I just got a purse. The key to
Speaker 1: this is because so I would say, if it were anything,
Speaker 1: it would be like keys or a phone. But I
Speaker 1: got a purse. With an outside pocket, and I just
Speaker 1: put the crucial items in that pocket, and I'm always
Speaker 1: able to check like glasses, phone keys, so that I'm
Speaker 1: always I'm always checking, so if anything, instead of forgetting
Speaker 1: stuff once I'm out in the world, my problem is
Speaker 1: I'm always late because it takes me fifteen minutes to
Speaker 1: leave the house. With all the kind of checking and
Speaker 1: rechecking that I do of things.
Speaker 4: I would be screwed in a purse situation because that's everything.
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, I would be losing my purse
Speaker 4: and then you're fucked in every way.
Speaker 1: Yes, you can't lose your purse.
Speaker 4: It's the only I won't even get any kind I
Speaker 4: won't even go messing your bag. I won't even go messenger.
Speaker 1: Van, I won't even try.
Speaker 4: Sorry, I've had a whole white claw.
Speaker 1: Shit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: Go Missoula. Go.
Speaker 4: The only thing I'm leaving behind is my memories.
Speaker 1: I think your hair is growing into like almost like
Speaker 1: it's growing you a new personality.
Speaker 4: It is well I put. Yesterday, I shot a little
Speaker 4: commercial with my buddy Bross. He he does has this
Speaker 4: dump truck service with three trucks and they bring DIY
Speaker 4: wood chips and stuff to people's houses. It's it's they're
Speaker 4: doing pretty well. But I thought it'd be fun to
Speaker 4: do a commercial where it's one of his competitors. So
Speaker 4: I had my hair slicked over with glasses and I
Speaker 4: look like a seventies used car salesman, just making up
Speaker 4: stuff about gravel and wood chips. And they said I
Speaker 4: was really scary during it because I had him be
Speaker 4: a guy that had spent some time in prison. But
Speaker 4: it's slick. I showered twice already and it's still it
Speaker 4: was just some axe hair stuff, but it I kind
Speaker 4: of like what it's doing now. I mean, look at
Speaker 4: that body.
Speaker 1: You should it's it's got bounce, it's got there's one
Speaker 1: that paid thousands for that kind of body.
Speaker 4: It's time to it's time to cut it.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's time to grow it even longer. It's
Speaker 1: time to grow it down into a bob.
Speaker 4: I have no one to answer to professionally. I even, yeah,
Speaker 4: I even had some shows book that I felt uncertain
Speaker 4: about and I just canceled them. I really have nothing
Speaker 4: on the horizon, so why not, just why not? I'm
Speaker 4: just going to keep it.
Speaker 1: Going, you know what, I think that in you. You know,
Speaker 1: comedy can always be your safety net. But why not
Speaker 1: get into diy wood chip business? Well you can if
Speaker 1: you've got a connection.
Speaker 4: I a lot of my friends are offering. I might
Speaker 4: start at sign business and move here. I don't know, I'm.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows anything.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I love doing stand up and I'm going to
Speaker 4: do it eventually, So I don't want to get too occupied.
Speaker 4: But I should be figuring something else out. There's so
Speaker 4: many things to do.
Speaker 1: There's a lot to do, and there's a lot to
Speaker 1: figure out, and there's everything is a question mark. So
Speaker 1: you don't just know that you don't have to figure
Speaker 1: anything out until twenty twenty one spring.
Speaker 4: Okay, so I get the whole year off acting like
Speaker 4: a seventeen year old. Yes, good, Yes, okay, I'm going
Speaker 4: swimming again tomorrow. Thanks all your polite. I am do it.
Speaker 4: My police is like my remote control. I'm loving it.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, okay, Stephen? What next? What do the people
Speaker 1: want to know next?
Speaker 3: This is my favorite question ever. Oh at Captain bird Dog,
Speaker 3: what if you woke up one day and the sky
Speaker 3: wasn't blue?
Speaker 1: Well it happens in winter, Captain bird.
Speaker 4: So yeah, it's either a fire, or it's December, or
Speaker 4: you're on Mars. Goddamn it, it's really funny. That sounds
Speaker 4: like a Howard Stern radio sound effect.
Speaker 1: The dogs.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it like turned on and cut off mid bark there.
Speaker 1: The thing is if if there's always, like on my street,
Speaker 1: there's always people working on houses or whatever, so like
Speaker 1: if they hear a car door open and then shut,
Speaker 1: they start barking.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, knock it off. I think it's like.
Speaker 1: I don't you don't need to warn me that people
Speaker 1: are getting in their car.
Speaker 4: It's given our podcast layers layers a sound like a
Speaker 4: flannel on a T shirt.
Speaker 1: I can't stand in the hallway. Okay, I'm back, I'm back.
Speaker 1: He just Frank stands where he's standing in the hallway barking,
Speaker 1: So then I know he's not barking in anything because
Speaker 1: he's just in the hallway.
Speaker 4: I think at this point everything is so I'm open
Speaker 4: to anything. If the sky was suddenly red, I would
Speaker 4: just be like, all right, keep them coming, keep keep this.
Speaker 4: I don't. I hate the phrase the world is ended,
Speaker 4: like even as a joke, you know, because the world
Speaker 4: is ending, but we all are open to whatever right now?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think everyone's everyone's been rattled to the core. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But my sister sent me this great article about if
Speaker 1: you were born in if you were born in nineteen hundred,
Speaker 1: all the stuff you lived through, and it makes this
Speaker 1: look look like nothing, because if you were born in
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred, so that means you live through like the
Speaker 1: Spanish Flu, World War One, you know, the World War two,
Speaker 1: the Korean War, and it just all the polio, like
Speaker 1: all these things. Yeah, by the time it got up
Speaker 1: to like the Cold War and nuclear threat, you know,
Speaker 1: you're in your seventies or something. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: an amazing kind of point of view of like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we're all. I think that one of the problems
Speaker 1: with people these days is we all insist upon being
Speaker 1: perfectly comfortable and having our exact way all the time
Speaker 1: because everything is so like programmable to our likes and
Speaker 1: needs and there's nothing realistic about that in terms of
Speaker 1: being in the world. So if you're slightly uncomfortable a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're like I might have depression, I have one feeling,
Speaker 1: or it's like no, no, you're fine, like you're it's
Speaker 1: good to be challenged, it's good to have things. You know,
Speaker 1: this is I'm not saying. I'm not saying this isn't
Speaker 1: scary as fuck.
Speaker 4: Everyone everyone knows what you're saying right now, good because
Speaker 4: I kind of don't. Although, Karen, anyone you talk to
Speaker 4: that's like our dad's ages or you know, someone in
Speaker 4: their seventies is like, this is the scariest thing in
Speaker 4: my life time. My dad said that several times. And
Speaker 4: sure you know he fucked around with polio and ship.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't fuck with polio. Me myself, I don't
Speaker 1: fuck with polio.
Speaker 4: No, no, I don't know. I don't even I don't
Speaker 4: even tank her with it. And I never mess with Texas?
Speaker 4: Do you? If you everything?
Speaker 1: A bumper sticker says.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, have a nice day. She had happens Forrest gumped?
Speaker 1: Is it bad?
Speaker 4: Movie?
Speaker 1: Cut to Chris dialing one eighthit for the one thousandth time?
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 4: Iter? Hey? It's gonna take off, hey man. And so
Speaker 4: are my other inventions that I've come up with during
Speaker 4: this quarantine. One is burrito sized corn tortillas. Everyone wants them,
Speaker 4: and don't tell me they don't. They aren't soft enough
Speaker 4: and they don't fold into it that park can be
Speaker 4: figured out. Everyone wants Everyone prefers corn tortillas. No one
Speaker 4: needs flower tortillas always. And your corn tortilla people out there,
Speaker 4: Karen shut me down, but I got my cornies out there.
Speaker 4: Where are you at? You want a burrito size corn tortilla?
Speaker 4: You know it. Here's my other pitch. If I was
Speaker 4: on Shark Tank led light grills. So it's a denture
Speaker 4: you put in and then just for the infomercial, like
Speaker 4: an old lady going to read a book and then
Speaker 4: she smiles and these lights come out of her teeth
Speaker 4: like in cocoon, and then she's happy because she can
Speaker 4: read by her teeth light. Those are two. I'm going
Speaker 4: to pitch them together on Shark Tank. Okay, so while
Speaker 4: I'm making the tortillas, my teeth are lit up. Oh,
Speaker 4: very excited.
Speaker 1: The LED grills I'm a thousand percent on board with
Speaker 1: because I'm the person that I read till I go
Speaker 1: to sleep at night. But then I go to sleep
Speaker 1: with one of the side Who's gonna say, sideboard, what
Speaker 1: do you call it? Nightstand lights on? Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: you're it's very bad for you to go into r
Speaker 1: em sleep with light in the room. You're not supposed to,
Speaker 1: but I know I don't want to.
Speaker 4: It's a good point because how do they shut off?
Speaker 4: I'm glad you asked this. They are solar powered, so
Speaker 4: when you fall asleep, your mouth closes and then the
Speaker 4: light turns off.
Speaker 1: Perfect, because even if it didn't turn off, your mouth,
Speaker 1: I'd be closed and the light would be gone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be keeping you awake. Bright, it would shine
Speaker 4: through like pink, you know, when you put a flash
Speaker 4: light in your mouth and next oh yes, yeah, would
Speaker 4: still shine through.
Speaker 1: So they have to turn off, right, And do they
Speaker 1: burn you at all?
Speaker 4: No, they do not. They are They're small enough, low
Speaker 4: enough wattage to where no heat comes from them.
Speaker 1: What about flavors? Can we talk through?
Speaker 4: I'm working on grape grape led grills.
Speaker 1: Perfect. Yeah, we're done here, We're done with that. What
Speaker 1: was the question? And was that that everything to do?
Speaker 4: If the sky was changing, I'd assume that it was
Speaker 4: some kind of a chemical weapon. Next question.
Speaker 1: If I woke up and the sky wasn't blue, I
Speaker 1: would just be like, man, okay, Next question?
Speaker 3: All right? At T Canton asked, did either of you
Speaker 3: go to summer school? Any summer school stories.
Speaker 1: Fuck yes, I can you want me to do this? Chris?
Speaker 4: Will you say please please? During normal school hours.
Speaker 1: I flunked algebra freshman year of high school because the
Speaker 1: boy that I loved sat in the seat in front
Speaker 1: of me and I couldn't stop staring at his neck.
Speaker 1: And the second I like slipped behind because I already
Speaker 1: had kind of like I'm not I don't think I'm
Speaker 1: good at math, which was entirely mental. So the second
Speaker 1: I stopped paying attention and then tried to click back in,
Speaker 1: I was like it was I had no idea what
Speaker 1: was going on, just got n f. So I had
Speaker 1: to make up for that by going to summer school,
Speaker 1: and I had to, so I went to this very
Speaker 1: small Catholic high school in my town. Summer school was
Speaker 1: across town at a public school, so it was I
Speaker 1: had to carpool with a weird family or a family
Speaker 1: I just didn't know very well, which is very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: Their car smelled weird, kind of smelling pennies, and I
Speaker 1: didn't like it, and there wasn't like you know that
Speaker 1: thing when you start you have to be around another family,
Speaker 1: and then you start you realize all families don't work
Speaker 1: like your family works right in that way, We're like,
Speaker 1: if my dad drove carpool, the radio would be on
Speaker 1: and there'd be some fun chit chat and he would
Speaker 1: be enjoyable. And that's not how this family worked, or
Speaker 1: their carpool or their dad, And it bummed me out
Speaker 1: severely only to them get out of the car and
Speaker 1: have to go to this classroom where everybody in the
Speaker 1: in the room flunked math. So it wasn't like a
Speaker 1: stellar group of teens.
Speaker 4: Myself included in that situation in my experience, because I
Speaker 4: have had summer school experience, don't isn't it then graded
Speaker 4: on a curve, so then you just have to be
Speaker 4: king of the dipshits.
Speaker 1: I think I don't remember all I remembers that once
Speaker 1: I started paying attention, I did fine, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is fucking easy, what the hell? And but I
Speaker 1: do remember this. It was just like kind of thing
Speaker 1: where like I felt I was already scared, and so
Speaker 1: I was doing a lot of bias confirmation bias where
Speaker 1: I was just like, these are bad kids because they
Speaker 1: flunked even though I was one of them, and they're
Speaker 1: also public school kids, so they're gonna like have a
Speaker 1: bike chain that they hit me with through some weird shit.
Speaker 1: So I felt but I was just nervous. It was anxiety,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So then once I got
Speaker 1: used to it, it wasn't like I made I don't
Speaker 1: think I made friends or anything like that, but I
Speaker 1: actually paid attention and learned something. And then at the
Speaker 1: very end of it, so it was to say it
Speaker 1: was six weeks or eight weeks or whatever, it was,
Speaker 1: at the very end, we all passed and it was
Speaker 1: all fine, And then the teacher let us do this
Speaker 1: thing where every single person in the class we just
Speaker 1: had a contest through balled up pieces of binder paper
Speaker 1: into a garbage can and it was just like you
Speaker 1: had to make three and then if you want, yeah,
Speaker 1: you got your name put on the board and everyone
Speaker 1: just got to keep trying. It was super fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that was that kind of like, oh, this is like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is how schools should work. There should be more
Speaker 1: people in the room so that you're not you don't
Speaker 1: feel like I don't know. It suddenly all made sense
Speaker 1: to me what I was doing right and what I
Speaker 1: was doing wrong.
Speaker 4: Yes, And when I I had to go back and
Speaker 4: take math, because I would leave it till the last
Speaker 4: minute because in college that it was a requirement. But
Speaker 4: every winter I still was chasing snowboarding, and so I
Speaker 4: would go to Bend, Oregon and just only snowboard during
Speaker 4: the day and then come back and try and make
Speaker 4: for it, make up for it here at home with
Speaker 4: summer school, and so I was taking math with the
Speaker 4: entire football team and so and it was the first
Speaker 4: time I realized, like, there are smart students sitting in
Speaker 4: a lab and I can go in there with my
Speaker 4: homework and basically say can you do this in front
Speaker 4: of me? And they would do And because it was
Speaker 4: someone my age or a few years older, and they
Speaker 4: were talking in simple terms and there wasn't a classroom environment,
Speaker 4: I found and I'm thinking about that a lot, because
Speaker 4: kids are being taught individually or in small groups. I
Speaker 4: found that I totally got it once one person was
Speaker 4: explaining to me, and you're not I'm not scare because
Speaker 4: I was looking at some pretty girl's neck too, And
Speaker 4: all of a sudden, you're just talking to someone you
Speaker 4: don't want to seem dumb, So all of a sudden
Speaker 4: you're figuring it out it was at the end of
Speaker 4: college trying to fulfill those last minute requirements where I realized, oh,
Speaker 4: I just needed to go ask for help or I
Speaker 4: never went to teachers. I never went to these teachers' aides,
Speaker 4: and you know, it's the way you do it. Summer
Speaker 4: School had a great experience.
Speaker 1: Great and also the film Summer School starring Mark Harmon
Speaker 1: is a wonder Carr film.
Speaker 4: At one point was the highest paid actor on because
Speaker 4: of ncis. Yes, he also was a Cores beer spokesman,
Speaker 4: a Nazi owned company that makes a banquet beer. What
Speaker 4: do we yeah, Mark Harmon man, Summer School is no good.
Speaker 1: It's not a common Mark Carmon also played professional football,
Speaker 1: I believe at one on Yeah, or college maybe college?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah he went yeah college.
Speaker 1: And so college like he was the quarterback at UCLA
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Isn't that weird though? That like, like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of like football professional quarterbacks who are also devastatingly handsome.
Speaker 1: How does that fucking work?
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know, and isn't I do
Speaker 4: realize I've interviewed a couple like I'm a I'm a
Speaker 4: good looking rich skateboarder guy. And they immediately know how
Speaker 4: to grab a mic and talk into camera, Like there's
Speaker 4: a con financed comes with that, Like I know how
Speaker 4: to deal with people. I'm red. I had to learn confidence,
Speaker 4: as you know, and I still haven't quite mastered it.
Speaker 4: But there are athletes out there that just figure it out,
Speaker 4: and so yeah, they become actors or they become.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're just like, yeah, you want to look at me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you want to whether I'm running or talking, whether
Speaker 4: I'm n C or I s.
Speaker 1: Okay, Stephen, let's just the one.
Speaker 3: Last one last. I'm from at Georgia Peach. What's the
Speaker 3: weirdest thing you've eaten while driving?
Speaker 4: Does she just want us to say a Georgia Peach?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, is this is this from the Georgia Peach
Speaker 1: Board and we're supposed to answer Georgia.
Speaker 4: Peach the Georgia Film Board a subsidiary of the peach industry.
Speaker 4: I uh, I don't know. I have to think about that.
Speaker 4: Does anything spring to mind, ken.
Speaker 1: I mean, from all my years of driving up and
Speaker 1: down Highway five to go home and come back, Yeah,
Speaker 1: to put alum in La, I've definitely eaten, you know,
Speaker 1: like full meals. Yeah, while go driving ninety miles an hour.
Speaker 4: Like I know, I've eaten spaghetti, not off a plate,
Speaker 4: but I've had noodles and in Los Angeles car oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Speaker 4: put my mouth with some sushi. Sorry, I've been I've
Speaker 4: eaten sushi before, but no, yes, with my fingers of course,
Speaker 4: and not with chopsticks.

Speaker 4: It was really loud.
Speaker 1: He's not smart. Wait, the story I was going to
Speaker 1: tell is that I have definitely it's not the item
Speaker 1: wasn't weird, but it just it's My sister was very strict.
Speaker 1: You were not allowed to eat in the car. She
Speaker 1: would always be like, that's like that's gross. What are
Speaker 1: you a hog or whatever. You'd always make it seem
Speaker 1: like you were a monster if you ate in the car.
Speaker 1: So then when I was by myself, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: I'm going to fucking eat in the car. It seemed
Speaker 1: like the greatest, most freeing thing to do. I definitely
Speaker 1: have done that thing though, where like you're driving and
Speaker 1: eating like a hamburger and then you break and it
Speaker 1: slips out of your hand and slides down next to
Speaker 1: your seat like that that happened where I was trying
Speaker 1: to save it when I was like, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's my hamburger. And then it's just you're pushing it
Speaker 1: down between the console and the seat, trying to grab
Speaker 1: it with like two fingers like scissors, like no win,
Speaker 1: you win?
Speaker 4: Because that I mean, I've had my wallet, or I
Speaker 4: guess some trail mix go down there, but never an
Speaker 4: intact sandwich burger, just.
Speaker 1: The whole thing sliding and three pieces where it's like,
Speaker 1: if I catch it quick enough, I can pull it
Speaker 1: back up or a los the.
Speaker 4: Fun and the meat slides through.
Speaker 1: Oh no, you just pull up like one onion. God
Speaker 1: damn it.
Speaker 4: And then the next time you're vacuuming your car you're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 4: that hamburger.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's mold and ants back here. That's why
Speaker 1: perfect you.
