Speaker 1: Are you leaving?
Speaker 2: I you wanna way back home?
Speaker 1: Either way you want to be there, doesn't matter how
Speaker 1: much baggage you claim and give us time and a
Speaker 1: terminol and gay.
Speaker 2: We want to send you off InStyle. You wanna welcome
Speaker 2: you back home? Tell us all about every scared her?
Speaker 3: Was it fine?
Speaker 2: Melborn? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do your need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do your need to ride?
Speaker 3: Ride with Karen and Chris?
Speaker 4: Welcome to Do you need to ride? This is Chris
Speaker 4: Fairbanks and this is Karen Kilgara. We're driving directly into
Speaker 4: the WB water Tower. Is it actually filled with water
Speaker 4: or animaniacs? Is just filled to the brim with animaiacs?
Speaker 2: Little cat cats? Really cats?
Speaker 4: The animated I you know, I think this was at
Speaker 4: a point where a cartoon was on and I was
Speaker 4: already drinking forties. Yeah, so I missed out on animaniacs.
Speaker 2: Okay. The director does say there aren't any particular animal
Speaker 2: dot dot dot. They're sort of dogs, they're sort of
Speaker 2: weird deformed kids. Okay, Okay.
Speaker 4: I do want to know if there's water in that tower,
Speaker 4: but that's something for googling.
Speaker 3: Later.
Speaker 5: I if we were to have to make a friendly
Speaker 5: wager of shit I was supposed to go there, I
Speaker 5: would I would say yes because there is a fire
Speaker 5: department on that lot. So and that if it does
Speaker 5: hold water makes sense. Like if one of those gigantic
Speaker 5: studios caught a flame. Oh yeah, they would need a
Speaker 5: lot of water.
Speaker 4: Yes, you know that they're highly flammable. And that's like
Speaker 4: a small town thing that the studios are pretty much
Speaker 4: a little town.
Speaker 2: The little town.
Speaker 3: They have wild West.
Speaker 2: Facades, they have movie theaters.
Speaker 3: They have a.
Speaker 4: Bike shark that comes up on out of the water.
Speaker 4: Now that's universal.
Speaker 2: Well still, it's universal. Is only eight hundred yards away.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's easy for me. You know, I'm always on
Speaker 4: studio lots auditioning for the next big hit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I do.
Speaker 3: I assume Jaws is on all of.
Speaker 5: Them auditioning for the next talking dog sitcom.
Speaker 3: He bought a dog?
Speaker 5: When's the last time? And I hope this doesn't bring
Speaker 5: up painful Oh, not a bad question.
Speaker 3: No, there's about animals.
Speaker 2: It was just once least like sitcom you auditioned for.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I do believe. And it was hilarious because
Speaker 4: when I read the lines. I thought it was for
Speaker 4: the main character. I auditioned for a couple of things
Speaker 4: in I Think you should leave, and I thought this
Speaker 4: is a perfect role for Tim Robinson. I hope that
Speaker 4: he gets it and I don't. And sure enough I
Speaker 4: watched the new season and they were all Tim Robinson
Speaker 4: filled roles.
Speaker 2: But you do know it's his show, right right? Okay?
Speaker 3: Yes, I was not surprised to see him.
Speaker 4: Okay, I was surprise that they had auditions for something
Speaker 4: that I had very much difficulty not reading into his pom.
Speaker 3: Is that a helicopter?
Speaker 2: It's right there. Look, oh that's my coast Guard helicopter
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 4: I thought it was a motorcycle on our tail with
Speaker 4: a whoope cushion on the exhaust pipe. I mean it
Speaker 4: was flapping.
Speaker 5: That thing was big and had a sonic boom element
Speaker 5: to it.
Speaker 4: What was that id? And then it disappeared suddenly or
Speaker 4: did I not see it?
Speaker 2: It was kind of going, oh that way.
Speaker 4: Are you lying to me about a helicopters? Again? The
Speaker 4: only news I wanted to hear.
Speaker 3: We are.
Speaker 4: Do you have anything good that you're looking forward to?
Speaker 2: So you mean like positive topics? Yeah? Absolutely? Christ Ye.
Speaker 2: First of all.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I told you about this, but
Speaker 5: I went to Milwaukee to visit my friend Bradford Berleski,
Speaker 5: who works in the legal department of exactly the right studio.
Speaker 4: I went to Milwaukee for the big RNC to pay I.
Speaker 5: Had to go pay my respects yes to them. Actually,
Speaker 5: did you see in the RNC that I watched this
Speaker 5: this morning? Trump invited Sean O'Brien, who is the head
Speaker 5: of the Teamsters Okay, to speak at the RNC because
Speaker 5: he thought Shawn O'Brien was on his side. And so
Speaker 5: Shann O'Brien gets up and starts a speech where he
Speaker 5: is addressing this crowd and he's not saying anything anybody
Speaker 5: wouldn't like, and then he goes into how much this
Speaker 5: country needs unionization and how corporate greed is unchecked, and.
Speaker 4: He basically everyone's cheering.
Speaker 5: Yes he does it where he's like they're taking money
Speaker 5: out of the American worker hands, like all the stuff
Speaker 5: he says, and it's split screen with Trump who's standing
Speaker 5: there looking like he thought this guy was gonna be
Speaker 5: talking about yay, Trump is the best, and instead he
Speaker 5: basically whips the RNC.
Speaker 2: Crowd into a frenzy of pro union.
Speaker 5: Come on, let's let's get this country together and get
Speaker 5: some regulations back. So that he was like, these elite
Speaker 5: corporate people have no country, they have no loyalty, They
Speaker 5: only are for themselves, and everyone's.
Speaker 3: Like yeah him.
Speaker 4: From the beginning, Trump No.
Speaker 5: Trump had kind of my guesses and this also could
Speaker 5: be fit News, but my guess is that he had
Speaker 5: this slow realization that he thought the guy was doing
Speaker 5: one thing because of the way he looks and talks,
Speaker 5: and he actually was doing exactly what he wouldn't want
Speaker 5: him to do.
Speaker 3: Oh I watch, I'll.
Speaker 2: Send you the video.
Speaker 5: It was very exciting where you can have all the
Speaker 5: feelings and beliefs and the I am a Republican, I
Speaker 5: am not a Democrat. I need to be in this area,
Speaker 5: and you can still give a shit that corporations are
Speaker 5: not paying the American worker a fair wage and any
Speaker 5: protections and they're taking all the money for themselves. Like
Speaker 5: it was almost like he was playing with that space
Speaker 5: where they have, you know, engaged this audience of people
Speaker 5: told them they're getting fucked over, and then basically this
Speaker 5: guy got up and was like, and here's how you're
Speaker 5: getting fucked over. These guys are doing it, and it's
Speaker 5: literally like Trump spent his entire career union busting and
Speaker 5: all that stuff. You have to see it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of At some point in his speech,
Speaker 4: did he actually turn in point or no?
Speaker 3: That was what was.
Speaker 5: Beautiful about it, because you can't really do that right there.
Speaker 5: So he just guided them along into don't we all
Speaker 5: want a fair wage for the work that we do,
Speaker 5: the fact that a mother has to have three jobs
Speaker 5: just to rent an apartment, like the problems all those
Speaker 5: people face, or like you're not gonna have your Social
Speaker 5: Security it's just I don't know.
Speaker 4: Hopefully the people charing also were paying attention to what
Speaker 4: he is saying, or might look it up and realize something,
Speaker 4: because you know, you'd get cheers, kid Rock could get cheers.
Speaker 4: Or farting into a walkie talk. Actually, I'm gonna stop say.
Speaker 4: I absolutely front row, well maybe not front row.
Speaker 2: No, no, actually for that one balcony.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, whenever I'm at one of these fart concerts,
Speaker 4: I'm up top with the with the little binoculars on
Speaker 4: a stick.
Speaker 2: Near a event.
Speaker 5: Anyway, it felt hopeful in that way where you can't
Speaker 5: disguise the fact that the average person in this country
Speaker 5: can't fuck afford anything. Yeah, everybody's getting greenflationed, like, and
Speaker 5: we all kind of know where it's coming from, which
Speaker 5: is lack of regulation and people who are greedy beyond reason.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that nowadays. Like it's the same part
Speaker 4: of mentality now where like if you the fact that
Speaker 4: our phones are a computer in our pockets, and the
Speaker 4: second they aren't working, you're like, this is a piece
Speaker 4: of shit. Whereas if you told us ten years ago
Speaker 4: we would even have anything that remotely did half the
Speaker 4: things a phone does, yeah, we would think, well, won't
Speaker 4: life be better? I think that we're all just a
Speaker 4: little more. I'm trying to be positive when I say
Speaker 4: everyone's expecting everything to be progressively better, but they're forget
Speaker 4: getting how bad things were.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, before we had I.
Speaker 4: Don't know, air conditioning or you know, a political a
Speaker 4: better example I could have. I didn't write this out first.
Speaker 2: No, I get you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: We're having a conversation, right like anybody a TGI Fridays.
Speaker 4: All we're doing. We're not here to give information. We're
Speaker 4: here to show you how down to earth we are
Speaker 4: in lieu of being informed, and that's was our mission
Speaker 4: statement from the beginning.
Speaker 2: From the we told you this audience.
Speaker 4: Yes, if you want to really know if there's water
Speaker 4: and or Anima dac swimming in the tank, go somewhere else.
Speaker 4: We're just here to have unresearched conversations.
Speaker 5: Also, there's absolutely an anim Maniacs recap podcast somewhere in
Speaker 5: this world. Oh yes, Oh, but I was going to
Speaker 5: tell you because you were like, I missed it because
Speaker 5: I was like a little bit too old. I was
Speaker 5: old enough that it came back around to me because
Speaker 5: I was stoned at home, like just watching basic cable
Speaker 5: and it would come on and I would laugh.
Speaker 2: It was so good and so funny.
Speaker 3: There's good jokes in it.
Speaker 2: You're gonna say non stop.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are certain things I'm privy too because of
Speaker 4: my nieces who are coming to visit tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Oh nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm very excited. Although there is that uh, that
Speaker 4: fear of like, oh my god, I haven't planned out
Speaker 4: an itinerary.
Speaker 3: But just like this podcast, I like to do.
Speaker 4: I like to think on.
Speaker 5: My toes andationships really your life, do it riff and
Speaker 5: through life?
Speaker 4: Is that the name of anything.
Speaker 2: Your next album.
Speaker 4: I am doing a comedy show next to the pleasure Chest,
Speaker 4: which used to be there's like adult toys and underpants
Speaker 4: for grown up sure sexual things, edible arrangements.
Speaker 2: That's not what it is, edible underpants arrangement.
Speaker 4: When someone says edible arrangement, it usually means pineapples and
Speaker 4: fruits on sticks made to look like flower I always
Speaker 4: thought it was just a selection of underpants. I confused
Speaker 4: edible arrangements with edible underpants until yesterday.
Speaker 3: No, yeah, I'm afraid I did.
Speaker 2: Is that the truth? It is not a rift joke
Speaker 2: off the top of yours.
Speaker 4: Maybe not yesterday, but a few years. There's been a
Speaker 4: few years of me knowing what an edible arrangement is,
Speaker 4: but there's been an entire lifetime prior of me thinking
Speaker 4: it was a bouquet of underwear that you can eat.
Speaker 4: And I don't think people.
Speaker 2: The people in offices were giving each other for their birthday.
Speaker 4: I'm like, these are not safe for work work gifts?
Speaker 4: I thought one thought, yes, yes, and I've learned. I've grown.
Speaker 2: So you did a comedy show.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm sorry, I'm about to do it. But it
Speaker 4: is the pleasure chest people have opened a cannabis restaurant.
Speaker 4: I guess there's well, yeah, and I don't know much
Speaker 4: about it. But I thought the comedy show should be
Speaker 4: called bong Rifts because I love it. But and I
Speaker 4: I'm like, can you call the show bong Rifts? And
Speaker 4: I didn't get a response. I really think that's a
Speaker 4: great name. Should I message back and reinforce I would
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 5: In person since you already floated in writing, so you
Speaker 5: have the copyright.
Speaker 4: You know what, it's just an opening joke. It's good
Speaker 4: to be here at bong Rifts. It'll get a white light.
Speaker 2: Keep it for yourself.
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, You're right. I can't even believe I spent
Speaker 4: it now literally.
Speaker 2: Maybe that was the helicopter we were seeing.
Speaker 4: Oh they're everywhere.
Speaker 2: Yeah. True.
Speaker 4: There's still people in my neighborhood lighting off fireworks, which
Speaker 4: is the first year it's been supposed to be illegal,
Speaker 4: and I think it made people light even more off. Yeah,
Speaker 4: all the dogs are traumatized. But now that people have
Speaker 4: some left over that they'll think, well, it's a few
Speaker 4: days after a week after, but it's Wednesday, I'm going
Speaker 4: to light off these artillery grade explosions and helicopters, cops.
Speaker 4: I've seen them swarm down streets. They are serious.
Speaker 5: Oh shit, really yeah, because the day of the assassination attempt.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Remember Brandy Posey and I got brunch.
Speaker 2: Then we went to Costco.
Speaker 4: You gotta work on your alibi story. Where were you
Speaker 4: during this all sounds attempted?
Speaker 5: Yeah, But we went to Costco because my sister insisted
Speaker 5: that she added me to her membership. She's like, you
Speaker 5: can get gas, you can get this, this, this, like
Speaker 5: this whole thing.
Speaker 4: A gallon of mustard. Yeah, right, you could.
Speaker 2: You you should be on it, Karen. I was like, fine,
Speaker 2: go get a card, get my picture taken, the whole thing.
Speaker 2: So Brandy and I'd been talking about cost.
Speaker 5: Something that was for sale at Costs, and I was like,
Speaker 5: wouldn't it be fun if, like we do as an activity,
Speaker 5: we just go to Costco and like shop around.
Speaker 2: She's like, I'll totally do that with you. We do it,
Speaker 2: shop for.
Speaker 5: Like an hour, just laysing around Costco on a Saturday,
Speaker 5: and get up to the counter.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 4: They they your card wasn't ready. They didn't believe the assassination.
Speaker 4: I tampaped, someone slipped, someone slipped, and you last.
Speaker 5: My sister took me off her account. Oh so they
Speaker 5: were like, you don't belong to you.
Speaker 4: Just got on the account.
Speaker 5: No, No, I got on the account in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 5: which but in my mind, I got on the account
Speaker 5: six months ago because it coin yes, yes, And so
Speaker 5: I'm like they're like, oh, sorry, you're not a member
Speaker 5: and I'm like sorry, what?
Speaker 2: And I text my sister, I'm like, you kicked me off.
Speaker 5: The account exclamation point question mark, and then she was
Speaker 5: like sorry when Nora got her license, like you can
Speaker 5: all have one extra person on the account. And I
Speaker 5: figured it was so hilarious and so embarrassing. But luckily
Speaker 5: those people, Oh, look at this TV show in action.
Speaker 4: Look at that steady cam casual walk. There's a it
Speaker 4: doesn't seem like they're shooting though.
Speaker 5: No, that seems like maybe that's like some sort of
Speaker 5: influencer video package. Yes, but a man fully wearing a
Speaker 5: steady cam just walk by in the walkway crosswalk they
Speaker 5: call it here in America.
Speaker 4: I would be scared to walk around with thousands of
Speaker 4: dollars of equipment hanging from a string, yes, or a cable.
Speaker 3: It's probably a.
Speaker 2: Cable, probably probably not a string.
Speaker 4: A steady cam operator, you simply get a backpack and
Speaker 4: you dangle a fish and pull and with yarn, and
Speaker 4: you hang a fifteen thousand dollars camera from it.
Speaker 2: You go to your I know, go to your grandma's.
Speaker 2: You borrow some yarn.
Speaker 4: Stop knitting, you yell at her, yeah, give me that
Speaker 4: click clip, and you take them away from the cat
Speaker 4: who was playing, and you hang very expensive equipment. Yes,
Speaker 4: I once again I've I've derailed. When you're out in
Speaker 4: the streets, Yes, things come up. Yes, you know you
Speaker 4: don't remember what you were talking about right after a
Speaker 4: fender bender.
Speaker 2: Also, it doesn't matter this. I think this podcast.
Speaker 5: Is the embodiment of add and ADHD.
Speaker 2: Yes, but at least we have an excuse. A man
Speaker 2: with a homemade steadycam walked by the front of our car.
Speaker 2: Who cares about Costco exactly. That's why we're talking about Costco.
Speaker 2: I'm always the one that goes back to it.
Speaker 4: But I'm not going to this to the topic.
Speaker 3: That is that.
Speaker 4: Place there, and I say I also will abandon topics.
Speaker 4: That place there was a coffee place. I think it
Speaker 4: was called Aroma. Perhaps Okay, I did stand up there
Speaker 4: once and sitting up front was a man was writing.
Speaker 4: I thought maybe he was on the show, and so,
Speaker 4: you know, me and my crowd work. I said, are
Speaker 4: you on the show. It looks like you're working on
Speaker 4: some jokes and he said no, I'm a musician. And
Speaker 4: I realized it was Fat Lip from the fire Side,
Speaker 4: which is for me personally. I mean, if there's ever
Speaker 4: a tape I kept in my car for two years.
Speaker 3: It was that.
Speaker 2: And I know, I guess that one.
Speaker 4: You know that, I think that's Afroman And then I
Speaker 4: got high and then yeah, yeah that was the one
Speaker 4: hit one. But in that vein, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Was so so wrong about me.
Speaker 4: It's like the first LA hip hop that was like,
Speaker 4: oh this is like skateboarder rap.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: It was really embraced, and so I my hands started trembling,
Speaker 4: like it's it's I never consents when I'm going to
Speaker 4: be so starstruck. Yes, but let me tell you, Fat
Speaker 4: Lip from the fire Side was the nicest. He laughed
Speaker 4: everyone's jokes. You watched the whole show. He hung out afterward,
Speaker 4: and all I said was, are you maybe in a
Speaker 4: group that starts with a P but it's an F
Speaker 4: sound and he's like, yes, and I just fell apart.
Speaker 3: I bet yeah, I lost.
Speaker 4: Talk about going from Costco to Steady Camp. I had
Speaker 4: no idea what I was even talking about.
Speaker 5: And I hope that in a desperate attempt to right
Speaker 5: you're wrong, you flipped your shoe up into.
Speaker 2: Your hand and answered it like a phone.
Speaker 4: It is how I get out of most sticky situations. Hello,
Speaker 4: I'll be right there.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I have to take this.
Speaker 4: It's something I used to do so often, and it
Speaker 4: usually was a crowd pleaser.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I saw you do it at Largo one time and
Speaker 2: it felt like the roof was going to come off
Speaker 2: the bat.
Speaker 4: There was a time, though, Sarah Silverman at a party.
Speaker 4: I was there, and then I get nervous because there's
Speaker 4: famous people ever everyone, and I Elliott Page was very
Speaker 4: unimpressed with my shoe and the hand joke yeah, to
Speaker 4: where there was an audible sigh and a headshake.
Speaker 3: So it's not for everyone.
Speaker 4: Well here's I don't mean to call out famous celebrities,
Speaker 4: but look does not like me for that one move.
Speaker 5: The energy of bringing kind of improvisational comedy to a party.
Speaker 3: Seal I was out of ten already.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think it's a little of that of
Speaker 5: like probably him letting you know I don't need this
Speaker 5: from you.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm trying to hang out. I also am nervous
Speaker 2: because Kevin Nealon is.
Speaker 4: Here, everyone's yes, it's I love being in situations where
Speaker 4: people are everyone's nervous, no matter who they are. It's great. Yes,
Speaker 4: I thrive in a room full of nervousness, And I.
Speaker 5: Think it's a good thing to remember where especially in
Speaker 5: this dumb town where everyone's.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, who's here and who's famous whatever.
Speaker 5: It's like, you can't get big enough in this town
Speaker 5: to not be nervous. So if you're looking at someone
Speaker 5: and freaking out because they're there, they're also freaking out.
Speaker 4: You can the whole thing of pretend everyone in the
Speaker 4: crowd is naked. Just take that into the streets. Yeah,
Speaker 4: everyone out there's naked.
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: Was that good advice?
Speaker 4: That was pretty God, I'm filled with some solid nuggets.
Speaker 2: Well, everyone's naked in the street, I.
Speaker 4: Say, in the streets meaning in life.
Speaker 3: Gotcha, right?
Speaker 5: Truly, we all are naked underneath our clothes, especially these two.
Speaker 2: They're literally doing stretches on the sidewalk.
Speaker 4: They're getting ready to do some sort of a dance.
Speaker 4: See that's the hard part of this podcast. We only
Speaker 4: see a moment. Yeah, we only see part two when
Speaker 4: we want part one and three.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just say that because I spend most of my
Speaker 4: day looking for part two of an Instagram video. That
Speaker 4: man in the pool pool, It was just the guy
Speaker 4: in the speedo.
Speaker 2: I love that pool.
Speaker 5: And that pool was empty for a while, like it
Speaker 5: almost looked like I was like, are they.
Speaker 2: Taking away that public pool?
Speaker 5: And it is back, baby, and it is bright aquamarine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's public pools filled with kids. It's kind of
Speaker 4: something I haven't seen in what five six years? And
Speaker 4: he just drove by one as if it was twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2: And also it had multi colored, beautiful flags strung up everywhere,
Speaker 2: like it's a celebration simply to be at the pool.
Speaker 4: Let's drive by again like real creeps.
Speaker 5: Let's to pick up our guests, and we're like, we
Speaker 5: need to take you to see this public pool.
Speaker 4: You need to understand what kind of podcast am I on.
Speaker 2: It's kind kind of a stalker lurker podcast.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't mind.
Speaker 3: Do you? But we keep it moving here's are binoculars.
Speaker 4: I my today, I just wonder if there's a town
Speaker 4: somewhere kind of like in Footloos movie where dancing was illegal.
Speaker 4: I'd like to go to a town where whistling is
Speaker 4: forbidden and jailable, because today, all at once I had
Speaker 4: the neighbor, a man across from me, and the next
Speaker 4: door neighbor in a house where were whistling simultaneously.
Speaker 2: What and I am?
Speaker 4: I realized, And I'm in a bit of a pickle
Speaker 4: myself because I'm an excellent whistler and competitive, right right,
Speaker 4: So I joined in, and I want to be arrested. Yeah, No,
Speaker 4: I just I just it's gotten to a point where
Speaker 4: I just really don't like whistling.
Speaker 5: Can you do an example of each of the types
Speaker 5: of whistling that were you were hearing?
Speaker 4: Yes, it was a The neighbor across from me was
Speaker 4: doing a song I'd never heard of and just not
Speaker 4: holding it tuned kind of like a lot of like
Speaker 4: hum whistling, like it wasn't actually hitting out the lips.
Speaker 3: Maybe they were chapped, I don't know a situation.
Speaker 4: But the neighbor next door was just freestyling like my
Speaker 4: grandpa used to nervously do and that's larva.
Speaker 3: Yes, like a jazz whistling just all over the place. Mistakes.
Speaker 4: Go ahead and make them. There's more whistling to come,
Speaker 4: and that might be my lead. It was making me nervous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they're nervous. There's no reason to be making
Speaker 2: that noise unless you're trying to let off a little steam.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny that in cartoons or historically, whistling is
Speaker 4: supposed to be someone that doesn't have a care in
Speaker 4: the world, like I'm just in a park with my
Speaker 4: hands in my pockets on the day away. No, you've
Speaker 4: got a lot on your mind and it's all nefarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah you don't.
Speaker 5: Maybe that whistler doesn't have a care in the world,
Speaker 5: but everyone around that whistler.
Speaker 2: Oh, doing a little march at the get Did you
Speaker 2: see that? Yes, he was marching at the gas station
Speaker 2: at the.
Speaker 4: Car wash, but big arms, big arms with that march.
Speaker 5: It's kind of swinging, uh like uh would it be?
Speaker 5: It looked like speed walking but also mountain climbing arms.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Someone I'd like someone that's trying to speedwalk because it
Speaker 4: was described to them in a letter. They've never really
Speaker 4: seen it.
Speaker 2: Guys.
Speaker 5: What we're telling you is today Central Los Angeles is
Speaker 5: giving everything. Yes, we have gotten a slice. There's a butterfly.
Speaker 5: We've gotten a slice of every kind of experience and humanity.
Speaker 2: What are you laughing at? Only it was the it
Speaker 2: was the the EIGHTYHD comm from earlier than terfly.
Speaker 4: But what we've gotten today, look at butterfly is a
Speaker 4: little piece.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no better example than getting distracted by a
Speaker 4: butterfly that you need to discover some sort of medication.
Speaker 5: I get worried about the low flying butterflies, especially when
Speaker 5: they're in traffic like that butterfly was eye level in
Speaker 5: and amongst the cars on Melrose.
Speaker 4: Right, it's not safe. I've been traumatized. I hate to
Speaker 4: bring up injured animals, but so many perfect winged butterflies
Speaker 4: in the grills of car.
Speaker 3: Oh, I got it.
Speaker 4: I've triggered your whistles.
Speaker 2: There's nothing sadder than that.
Speaker 4: Oh, just a monarch on a peter Bilt. No, sorry,
Speaker 4: sorry to get specific, but I will mention the type
Speaker 4: of butterfly.
Speaker 5: It's fine when it's just a gross mosquito type thing
Speaker 5: insect that you're like.
Speaker 4: Good, Yeah, take that fucker, I get out and flip
Speaker 4: it off.
Speaker 2: I killed you.
Speaker 3: Oh but yeah, I have the same concern.
Speaker 4: Plus, you know, I worry about someone running around with
Speaker 4: one of those nets. You know people used to catch
Speaker 4: butterflies for some reason.
Speaker 5: Yes, and in fact, those nets are featured heavily on
Speaker 5: the Animaniacs.
Speaker 2: Are they really Yeah? There, it's like because they're crazy.
Speaker 5: It's this idea that they're kind of loose, crazy mental patients, right,
Speaker 5: and so they do it either in that intro now
Speaker 5: I can't remember, but there's a butterfly net aspect there is.
Speaker 4: You are an animaniac maniac.
Speaker 5: I mean, it was me watching because I couldn't afford
Speaker 5: to get, like I said, basic cable before. But what
Speaker 5: I meant was just regular TV that I got when
Speaker 5: I plugged the TV in and nothing else.
Speaker 2: So I watched.
Speaker 5: I watched local news, I watched the Jamie Fox Show,
Speaker 5: I watched Animaniacs, uh, and I think that was it
Speaker 5: and I and then I watched Public Access and that's
Speaker 5: how we learned about Francine Dancer.
Speaker 4: Oh okay, and tell me more about Francian Dancer.
Speaker 2: I thought I already talked about her.
Speaker 5: She was just this woman who had a cable access
Speaker 5: show where she would.
Speaker 2: Kind of sing along kind of.
Speaker 5: With local LA heavy metal bands with their songs, and
Speaker 5: she was just a lady and she kind of wore like.
Speaker 4: Like a Vy Thompson type landing by the way, with
Speaker 4: VI I've mentioned that's a very popular access show in Missoula.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, but this she was more of I go
Speaker 5: to the Roxy to see any band. So she had
Speaker 5: a rock and roll element to her and kind of
Speaker 5: a like badass. I think we should just watch her
Speaker 5: at some point so you know what I'm talking about,
Speaker 5: Because Francine Dancer contains multitudes and I really it's hard
Speaker 5: to explain her cold but she but she was a
Speaker 5: quintessential public access character.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 5: I mean, did you ever watch much public access when
Speaker 5: it's just like people getting to do whatever they want?
Speaker 4: Well, when you mentioned like just plugging in a TV
Speaker 4: and watching whatever was on, That's what I did when
Speaker 4: I moved to Austin and what was on? Who's the
Speaker 4: Info Wars Lunatics guy? Oh yeah, I forget his name
Speaker 4: and that's okay, Yeah, it's the guy that does the
Speaker 4: Info Wars thing. When he was just like, hey, we
Speaker 4: should question things borderline healthy early days. Yeah, and he'd
Speaker 4: play like Bill Hicks bits. Yeah, maybe because he kind
Speaker 4: of looked like him at the time that was on,
Speaker 4: and I'm like, this guy's interesting. Like things changed. And
Speaker 4: then after him much music, which is music television something
Speaker 4: that people are amazed I even know about. That came
Speaker 4: on my TV clear as day. Why was Canadian music
Speaker 4: Television coming down to Austin, Texas? To my little apartment
Speaker 4: above noodles express.
Speaker 2: I always wanted to live in an apartment above a business.
Speaker 2: I always thought that would be so great. Please tell
Speaker 2: us what it was like to live above noodles.
Speaker 4: It smelled always delicious, and I was always so hungry
Speaker 4: that I actually went down. Oh this is almost sad
Speaker 4: because I was just painting windows and designing T shirts.
Speaker 4: I wasn't the money bags that I am today. So
Speaker 4: I asked, if you ever have leftover noodles, do you
Speaker 4: mind if you set them aside and I come knock
Speaker 4: on the side door and you give me leftover noodles?
Speaker 3: Isn't that a sad story?
Speaker 2: Kind of And what did they say? Get away?
Speaker 4: Yes, Actually, we don't understand what the fuck is We
Speaker 4: really don't know this arrangement sounds like it would be
Speaker 4: a lot of work for us.
Speaker 2: Also, this costs us money.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, but I did notice they threw away a
Speaker 4: lot of food, and that's why I came up with
Speaker 4: the idea.
Speaker 3: Before that was in the dumpster, I would have been
Speaker 3: doing it, and.
Speaker 4: Sometimes even when it was in the dumpster, just kidding. Well,
Speaker 4: I didn't know. I'd never eaten out of a dumpster, but.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you watch it go in and it
Speaker 5: wasn't like a lot of time in between.
Speaker 4: Thank you, yeah, thank you for defending all the times
Speaker 4: I have indeed watched someone take a half eaten taco
Speaker 4: Bel Burrito, put it in the trash, and then I
Speaker 4: grabbed it. I was seventeen.
Speaker 5: I mean, these days, whatever anybody has to do when
Speaker 5: fucking food is prohibitively expensive to a degree that is
Speaker 5: against God.
Speaker 2: Yes, uh, no judgments.
Speaker 5: And and also when my family came back to visit
Speaker 5: me to no judgments on God.
Speaker 3: Yes, because this whole thing.
Speaker 2: Is his plan.
Speaker 4: Yes, so I guess we'll wait and see it's all
Speaker 4: strategically map.
Speaker 5: But when my dad and sister came down to visit,
Speaker 5: my dad had half a breakfast bagel that he brought
Speaker 5: in from the car.
Speaker 2: On their road trip down, someone lost some something in
Speaker 2: the road.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, there's a box.
Speaker 2: Listener, there's a box that's in the road.
Speaker 4: That box contains BMX bicycle grip and the rest is
Speaker 4: shattered pieces of plastic.
Speaker 2: Oh and they just left it. Yeah what happened.
Speaker 3: I think it just classically fell out of a truck.
Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah, it was going to be some little
Speaker 4: kid's new bicycle. Oh oh sorry kid.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 5: Can go if you want to go pick up the
Speaker 5: pieces and try to put it together.
Speaker 2: You can't. Uh.
Speaker 5: My dad had half a bagel that he brought in
Speaker 5: from the car and it was on the counter and
Speaker 5: I saw it, and I was like, what's happening.
Speaker 3: Oh jesus Us.
Speaker 4: A car got into our oncoming Wayne, because that's where
Speaker 4: they wanted to they had to go around, So that
Speaker 4: was more of the I think that had something to do. Oh,
Speaker 4: because I was a motorcycle sideways in the road. I
Speaker 4: think maybe the guy's handle grip fell off.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 4: It took him a block to be Oh my god,
Speaker 4: I brought my box and my handle grip.
Speaker 2: Oh oh.
Speaker 4: And then they came to a stop.
Speaker 5: Something well and also there was a cop car there,
Speaker 5: so right, something not ideal.
Speaker 4: I like to figure these things out, like Sherlock. Yeah,
Speaker 4: like benediccumber bunches, Sherlock.
Speaker 2: Yes, the British, the hot modern British Shirlock.
Speaker 3: Yes, a great show.
Speaker 5: All I'm trying to say is that I threw my
Speaker 5: dad's half a bagel breakfast sandwich away, and then later
Speaker 5: on my dad was like, I'll eat that breakfast sandwich now,
Speaker 5: And it was like two days later, and my sister
Speaker 5: I go, I threw it away because I hate I
Speaker 5: hate the way my family eats leftover food. Days after
Speaker 5: I'm like this, I think it's dangerous. I don't know
Speaker 5: why you guys.
Speaker 4: Do this, especially eggs, especially like yeah old eggs.
Speaker 5: My sister just goes and we open the garbage and
Speaker 5: then just sitting right on top, wrapped in a wuinfoil.
Speaker 2: She goes, just pull it.
Speaker 4: Out, fucking.
Speaker 2: We heat it up.
Speaker 5: She goes, I'll just put in the microwave for like
Speaker 5: a minute and a half and it'll be like it'll
Speaker 5: get scorched and he'll be fine.
Speaker 4: We're just like okay, yeah, microwave will take you can
Speaker 4: pick food unwrapped off the ground as long as you
Speaker 4: put it in the microwave.
Speaker 2: That's kind of uh, what would we call it?
Speaker 6: A old lives tail, a seek, a superstitious snake, a
Speaker 6: super snake.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know what you're trying to say.
Speaker 2: There's someone that double decker bus that is doing a dance.
Speaker 2: I love her.
Speaker 4: Have you ever Is it the one giving the tour?
Speaker 2: No, it was just a little girl with a pink
Speaker 2: bow in her hair. I do a dance.
Speaker 4: It was a pretty good idea for a birthday party.
Speaker 4: But I went to a birthday party that took place
Speaker 4: on a double decker bus. But no one knew the
Speaker 4: guy giving the tours was going to wrap everything. Oh
Speaker 4: and he was a very non traditional hip hop artist.
Speaker 4: But then after about ten to fifteen minutes, I was like,
Speaker 4: this guy is the most talented, like freestyle rapper I've
Speaker 4: ever ever a witness. Oh yeah, why he needs to
Speaker 4: get out of this tour business.
Speaker 2: So it all kind of paid off.
Speaker 4: I get he was living his dreams, maybe that he
Speaker 4: always wanted. Maybe he started rapping to become.
Speaker 3: A tour bus guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I don't know what his dreams are, just because they're
Speaker 4: not my dreams. I'm not gonna say, but no, he
Speaker 4: definitely had to have higher aspirations. And hey, everybody, look
Speaker 4: right here, it's the old house of Paul Revere. Well,
Speaker 4: that would be a tour of Boston.
Speaker 5: Did you know Paul Revere lived in La I cannot,
Speaker 5: I can't even again approximate.
Speaker 4: I shouldn't have this mic, please take it away. I uh.
Speaker 4: There is a scene Henry Phillips's dad on Cheers. He
Speaker 4: made a highlight reel of his father's acting, and one
Speaker 4: of the characters he did was a guy giving tours
Speaker 4: of Boston and he'd go into Cheers with the entire
Speaker 4: tour and Sam Malone it'd be like, you can't we're
Speaker 4: about to close, and he'd be like, this is the
Speaker 4: original location of Paul Revere's minute men, I'll have a
Speaker 4: whiskey on the rocks please, and he just goes in
Speaker 4: there so you can have drinks and make stuff up
Speaker 4: about Boston that he's claiming took place in the bar.
Speaker 3: It's such a funny.
Speaker 5: Idea, and he is such a great character actor where
Speaker 5: he's one of those character actors where when he comes
Speaker 5: in and starts doing it, you're like, this is a
Speaker 5: real guy. Yeah, there's nothing acting about Henry's dead.
Speaker 2: Do you remember to Henry Stadd's first.
Speaker 3: Name, Bill Wiley?
Speaker 5: His name Bill Wiley was a true character actor in
Speaker 5: the sense that you're like, this guy just walked onto
Speaker 5: a set incorrectly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how good he is.
Speaker 4: Yeah. He all of the clips and I so many
Speaker 4: things from it, like rang a bell, like I think
Speaker 4: I've seen this, but so many memorable moments from old sitcoms,
Speaker 4: mostly like you know, even Full House and things like that.
Speaker 4: He worked on so many things.
Speaker 2: But he is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like casually just.
Speaker 4: Breezing through a scene being himself. It's great.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's so funny that he had a video
Speaker 4: camera and Henry Hatt's footage of him like coming in
Speaker 4: with the camera and it's Henry looking like John Bondrophy
Speaker 4: with like a leopard like shirtless rock and roll shirt,
Speaker 4: shredding on guitar and he's like, come on, dad, why
Speaker 4: do you have to bring that camera in?
Speaker 3: If he has that footage that we all wish we had.
Speaker 3: I wish, yeah, I wish I.
Speaker 4: Grew up around video cameras or I wish I had
Speaker 4: some photos.
Speaker 2: I mean, like you just wish you had a family.
Speaker 3: I wish that.
Speaker 4: I wasn't making up that I have any kind of origin.
Speaker 4: Was born in a shoe box. It just suddenly appeared.
Speaker 5: When Chris talks about going home to Montana, he means
Speaker 5: Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.
Speaker 4: An empty old shoe box factory.
Speaker 2: So sad running a red light Nazi legal that.
Speaker 4: Okay, we should we revisit how close we were to
Speaker 4: a head on collision right there.
Speaker 2: I mean we can.
Speaker 4: I'm just saying it was close.
Speaker 3: It was Nutso the visit is over.
Speaker 4: Oh, let's park next to this haunted tree route.
Speaker 2: And in behind this gorgeous Teal corvette, and we shall
Speaker 2: wait for today's guests. Oh, today's guest, today's guest.
Speaker 4: And you hear me like looking up, Oh, let me
Speaker 4: see here. I watched Long Legs and I, oh, it's
Speaker 4: been a long time, maybe since the Ring that a
Speaker 4: movie gave me nightmares. Yeah, and I had a nightmare
Speaker 4: last night.
Speaker 5: Yeah that's what Zach towers, you know, ye who loves
Speaker 5: horror movies and watches them all the time. He goes, uh,
Speaker 5: I watched it. I'll never watch it again. It's like,
Speaker 5: holy shit, I have to watch this thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like, you know, it's not that feel
Speaker 4: good movie of the summer.
Speaker 3: No, but I like scary.
Speaker 2: Movies and this is more than that.
Speaker 4: I watched so many of them, and I'm like, it's
Speaker 4: pretty good for a scary movie. Like, my expectations are
Speaker 4: so low that I this. In general, I would say,
Speaker 4: if you like to be scared, watch that Long Legs. Okay,
Speaker 4: there is questions at the end, and of course you'll
Speaker 4: want to google what does this mean? But a lot
Speaker 4: of things are up for interpretation.
Speaker 5: It's symbolism for deaths. Yes, I'll just answer your own questions. Yeah,
Speaker 5: to get it taken care of right now. Symbolism.
Speaker 2: Yes, clouds mean.
Speaker 3: Death, Yes, yes, exactly.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm I actually just excited that I had
Speaker 4: a dream. I thought I didn't dream. It's been years
Speaker 4: since I've had a dream where I don't remember the dream.
Speaker 4: I just know I woke up and I'm like, wow,
Speaker 4: I just had a very realistic dream and then it disappears.
Speaker 4: And I always thought, well, that's obviously bad to not
Speaker 4: have dreams, right, I always thought maybe that was bad.
Speaker 5: I don't know, maybe you're like you're not getting deep
Speaker 5: enough from sleep.
Speaker 4: They could be that could be my pin three times
Speaker 4: a night, or I thought it was my brain having
Speaker 4: a problem.
Speaker 5: I mean the brain having a problem go to. Yeah,
Speaker 5: knowing that we have the same go to. Yeah, I
Speaker 5: mean after a while, you just can't do it to
Speaker 5: yourself anymore.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, you know, Yeah, it definitely is our
Speaker 4: go to.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, literally, I have something will sound weird in my ear,
Speaker 5: and they'll be like, here we go, it's over.
Speaker 4: I can hear toast.
Speaker 5: Sorry, guys, I think we're a little bit farther down
Speaker 5: than we need to be.
Speaker 2: We have actually know we have to go farther down.
Speaker 5: Oh my error, Yes, no problem, no problem, Okay, a
Speaker 5: lot of beautiful work here in this area.
Speaker 4: Yeah, up here, I have a feeling our guest is
Speaker 4: sitting on that porch. Look at them hip elbow. You
Speaker 4: know today's hia. You know today's guests from clubs in
Speaker 4: colleges across the country.
Speaker 3: Put your ears together for.
Speaker 4: Fumi a me.
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's so good.
Speaker 4: I just was talking about when a name is coming
Speaker 4: up and I have to say the name, I can
Speaker 4: say it fifteen times successfully, but the minute it's time
Speaker 4: to perform my tongue.
Speaker 3: Thanks for coming during rush hour.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, there's a lot going on in this city right now.
Speaker 2: I noticed, yeah, going from the valley.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's so far. Yeah, and ten degrees hotter, so
Speaker 4: it's good. I well, it could be the air conditioning
Speaker 4: that's making me think it's cooler over here. Did we
Speaker 4: pick you up at your residence?
Speaker 3: Yes, that was my house okay, for my apartment.
Speaker 4: And you've moved here from New York.
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 7: Yes, moved here August twenty twenty one, so almost all yeah,
Speaker 7: Oh wow, okay, yeah, how do you like it? La?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's cool.
Speaker 7: I was like pretty depressed in the beginning, like everybody else, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice.
Speaker 7: I lived in New York for like thirteen years, and
Speaker 7: so that's all I knew. I lived there from when
Speaker 7: I was eighteen thirty one, so it's like the only
Speaker 7: thing I knew.
Speaker 2: And where were you from before you lived there?
Speaker 3: Before that?
Speaker 7: I was, I was living in Ohio, and then before that,
Speaker 7: I was living in Japan for a little bit.
Speaker 2: Oh cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's nice.
Speaker 7: I think I'm like older now, so La nice, I'm
Speaker 7: learning to I'm learning to like this slower pace, more
Speaker 7: suburban vibes.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Energy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, anytime I visit New York, I immediately am confronted by
Speaker 4: how lazy I am compared to that entire city. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 4: everyone has somewhere to be and they're going there now.
Speaker 7: Yes, That's why it obsessed me when people drive like
Speaker 7: crazy out here, because I'm always like, I mean, I
Speaker 7: know some people are busy, but you know people drive
Speaker 7: out here like New Yorker's walk sometimes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's like, where are you going?
Speaker 7: It's three pm on a Tuesday, Like, you're not you're
Speaker 7: not working right now. You know most people aren't working
Speaker 7: right now in La.
Speaker 4: So well, there's also examples of what we just experienced
Speaker 4: before we grabbed you. Where this guy could not wait.
Speaker 4: There was an accident. He absolutely wouldn't wait. He just
Speaker 4: got in our lane on there. We almost had a
Speaker 4: head on collisions. This guy had to get exactly to
Speaker 4: what where are you going?
Speaker 3: Exactly?
Speaker 2: He had to get into the front of our car essentially,
Speaker 2: That's how it felt.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, it's madness.
Speaker 4: I question what everyone has to do.
Speaker 2: I love that though.
Speaker 5: The peace you're so right where like the energy and
Speaker 5: the peace of people just moving themselves around.
Speaker 2: Jesus fucking did you see that?
Speaker 3: That was straight out of a driver's head video.
Speaker 5: Sir at least at least he was moving like he
Speaker 5: was like, don't worry, I'm going to take care of this.
Speaker 2: But he darted across.
Speaker 4: That was like an FBI training video that was a
Speaker 4: cardboard cutout of.
Speaker 3: That was a civilian.
Speaker 2: Don't hit this guy, Jesus chasing. I was just trying
Speaker 2: to make the point.
Speaker 5: Like when I used to go to New York to
Speaker 5: do sets or to hang out or whatever, or to work,
Speaker 5: I'd always be like, you have to take vitamins, you
Speaker 5: have to eat breakfast, you have to like you're going
Speaker 5: to be out at this pace where you can't be casual.
Speaker 2: This is New York City. Like you have to be.
Speaker 5: Girded and ready and go down to the subway and
Speaker 5: like it's all this like constant push.
Speaker 7: Kind of yes, that readiness I've lost, but I remember,
Speaker 7: like everybody walking out of their house in New York
Speaker 7: has like an iPhone charger, like a battery, like those
Speaker 7: portable things, because your battery will run out. You got
Speaker 7: like band aids on you because you're gonna get cut
Speaker 7: up for whatever you know, you get like a random
Speaker 7: towel in your back, like you just have all this
Speaker 7: stuff on.
Speaker 3: You, but here you can just have it in your
Speaker 3: car or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But yeah, just getting used to like every day there,
Speaker 4: Oh I have to have a backpack. Yeah, I'm not
Speaker 4: coming back here, You're out for the day. Maybe that's
Speaker 4: just yeah.
Speaker 7: But also, like I was there in my twenties, so
Speaker 7: like I don't even think I needed vitamins because I
Speaker 7: just had like pure raw energy. Yeah, and then I think, guys,
Speaker 7: I entered my thirties, it just got like hard to
Speaker 7: keep up, especially with COVID and stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, you're right, vitamins are key. You gotta
Speaker 3: have vitamins from your city.
Speaker 5: You gotta kind of power up vitamins c at least. Yeah,
Speaker 5: just to just to be as ready as everybody else.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I before I lived here, I thought, and in
Speaker 4: Los Angeles, I'm gonna be in such good shape because
Speaker 4: I'll be surfing, I'll be uh, you know, running, the
Speaker 4: weather's nice, I'll be outside. When I'm in New York,
Speaker 4: I'm sore every night because of how much walking I
Speaker 4: do I do there.
Speaker 7: I was just thinking about that because ever since I
Speaker 7: moved here. I guess I'm like happy or whatever.
Speaker 3: But every time I go.
Speaker 7: To the doctors, they're like, your cholesterols up, all this
Speaker 7: stuff is up, and I'm like, what am I? What
Speaker 7: am I doing different? Because I'm eating the same thing.
Speaker 7: I cook a lot, I'm still doing comedy, Like what
Speaker 7: am I?
Speaker 3: And it's the walking.
Speaker 7: I just you don't move here, yeah, just unless you
Speaker 7: make yourself ron or hike or whatever, rock climb whatever.
Speaker 7: But you don't have to think about anything in New
Speaker 7: York because just to get just to go to Trader
Speaker 7: Joe's is like a whole thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah there, right, work out.
Speaker 4: I figure if I'm eating well, I'm doing fine. But yeah,
Speaker 4: the last time I went to a doctor, he was like, oh,
Speaker 4: you have a high cholesterol like that. You clearly are
Speaker 4: reading your chart wrong. There's no way. But it's because
Speaker 4: I don't Yeah, I don't know. Every day on blogs,
Speaker 4: do you guys move?
Speaker 3: Do you guys move? Are you moving around?
Speaker 2: You're in it right now?
Speaker 3: Just so I move around, which is like podcast is
Speaker 3: like always sitting and talking.
Speaker 2: Yeah for real?
Speaker 4: I for me, I during quarantine, I started uh skateboarding
Speaker 4: again a lot with a group of guys. We all
Speaker 4: meet at seven am at the Costco and skate and
Speaker 4: right now, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You skate at the Costco. Yeah, that's like a high
Speaker 3: schooler move. I love it. I love it is.
Speaker 4: And everyone that I skate with is around fifty and
Speaker 4: we are skating the way that we start buying baggy
Speaker 4: pants again, like I'm I'm having a.
Speaker 3: Healthy midlife crisis.
Speaker 4: But on the other end of it, I've been golfing
Speaker 4: a lot, and that most people don't think that's extra
Speaker 4: size because you think I'm in a golf cart, but
Speaker 4: it's a several mile hilly hike a few times weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 4: so those are my two.
Speaker 3: Oh how is the skateboarding going?
Speaker 7: Because I feel like I'm trying to get back into
Speaker 7: basketball just as like a thing of exercise, but I
Speaker 7: feel like I won't do certain things anymore because I
Speaker 7: don't even want to have.
Speaker 3: The possibility of hurting my right right.
Speaker 7: So with skateboarding, like even a simple allie, I feel like, yay, dangerous,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 4: And at first when I because I got my hip
Speaker 4: replaced too, and so I was worried about falling on
Speaker 4: the metal in my hip. But when I would fall,
Speaker 4: I felt like I hurt my wrist or something. I
Speaker 4: felt like my body simply wasn't used to falling. And
Speaker 4: the more I fell on my wrist, the more my
Speaker 4: body could take it.
Speaker 3: Like, Wow, it got you.
Speaker 4: And now I'm falling all that time and you're fine
Speaker 4: and skating faster and yeah, yeah, it's it's your body
Speaker 4: just has to get used to it. And I don't
Speaker 4: even know what that is, because it's not like I'm
Speaker 4: riddled with scar tissue or something.
Speaker 3: That's built up. Yeah, no, I believe it.
Speaker 7: I feel like maybe age is maybe not as relevant
Speaker 7: as we think.
Speaker 3: It's more about just sort of conditioning your body.
Speaker 7: I think that that's the case, right right, And as
Speaker 7: we get older, we get so afraid to do these
Speaker 7: things so we just stop moving.
Speaker 3: The cholesterol's high.
Speaker 2: Yeah, can I give you guys a tip about high cholesterol?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 5: And this is from uh, I know your friend Bridger
Speaker 5: Wineger because you just did his podcast.
Speaker 2: Yes, he told me this.
Speaker 5: You eat two brazil nuts a day, those real big ones.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to brazil that you got to.
Speaker 2: Go to like sprouts or something. And you know when
Speaker 2: they have like the bulk food.
Speaker 5: Yes, so they're in there there will be a big
Speaker 5: thing of brazil nuts and they're like truly like thumb
Speaker 5: sized and like you know, pretty thick, and you eat
Speaker 5: to a day. And Bridger himself he was like about
Speaker 5: to be on Statn's and stuff and he got rid
Speaker 5: of his high cluster. I swear to god, I just
Speaker 5: think it's such an interesting like he heard it somewhere,
Speaker 5: someone told him he did it.
Speaker 2: It actually worked.
Speaker 7: This is scary of my cluster because Bridge is like
Speaker 7: a smaller fit guy. Yep, but even you know, not
Speaker 7: even skinny guys of high cholesterol a genetics thing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, mine is mine. Mine's a gift from
Speaker 4: the family. What if I eat more than two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, be careful.
Speaker 4: I don't want to.
Speaker 2: You'll wake up in Brazil. Yeah it's weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah, actually your cholesterol is now too low.
Speaker 2: You don't have enough cluster.
Speaker 4: A rare two hundred years.
Speaker 3: That's the worst noose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it causes vamporism.
Speaker 4: Oh no, they move to New Orleans and wearing long coats.
Speaker 3: The entire life. Damn.
Speaker 7: This is so weird because I haven't really like gotten
Speaker 7: a proper look at your faces.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you never will. Goodbye.
Speaker 7: This is like it's like podcasting, but I'm also being
Speaker 7: cooked for some reason.
Speaker 2: The energy stay there.
Speaker 4: And when you get out of the car, you'll try
Speaker 4: to peek in, it will just be fully.
Speaker 2: You'll peek in and there's no one in the front seat.
Speaker 2: So creepy.
Speaker 4: So far, my experience with it is comparing it to
Speaker 4: when we were on Zoom, those dark podcasting days. For everybody,
Speaker 4: uh in a car like this, and I think it
Speaker 4: has to do with you not being able to see
Speaker 4: our faces. Everyone is looser and more open. It's like
Speaker 4: we're kids on the road trip.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, I did.
Speaker 7: I did hear that, Like when you when people face
Speaker 7: the same direction for whatever reason, they open up more
Speaker 7: than rather than facing each other.
Speaker 3: Like in the movie Speed.
Speaker 4: Is at a plot point of well, I just know
Speaker 4: that it's construction workers and pregnant moms working together.
Speaker 2: And keep a bus at but no one look at
Speaker 2: each other in the end.
Speaker 3: No, No, that could have never happened on the Amtrak.
Speaker 4: No, that's there's a reason all the subway videos we
Speaker 4: watch people getting mad at each other.
Speaker 3: But yeah, we solved it.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: It is a fun way to meet someone for the
Speaker 5: first time where you're just like, well, get in here
Speaker 5: and talk to us a bunch.
Speaker 2: I know, and then later on we'll actually do the
Speaker 2: normal thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, very podcasting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, later on we're all going out for drinks for
Speaker 4: socializing at the end of the podcast. No matter what
Speaker 4: your plans were, Oh my god, today I've got a haircut,
Speaker 4: and to tip my haircutter, I have to put on Venmo.
Speaker 4: He was like, don't put haircut for tax purposes. So
Speaker 4: I put a slice of pizza or something. And then
Speaker 4: I realized it's kind of ridiculous that Denmo. Your your
Speaker 4: transactions are they like to make it like a social
Speaker 4: media yeah element which and then I saw what your
Speaker 4: podcast is about, and I wanted that to be where
Speaker 4: you got the idea.
Speaker 8: Where talked about your podcast, Oh my gosh, podcast Cash
Speaker 8: Cuties Check. Yeah, it's it's a personal finance podcast, and
Speaker 8: we talk about stuff like that all the time. You know,
Speaker 8: it's not I don't know if that is educational, but
Speaker 8: I think it's more emotional, like the emotionality of tipping
Speaker 8: and stuff like that, you know.
Speaker 3: I think, Uh, it's.
Speaker 7: Just I think with inflation and the economy, like it's
Speaker 7: just everything's getting a little out of control. Yeah, and
Speaker 7: I feel like, especially with tipping, it's just it.
Speaker 3: Makes you feel. It kind of ruins your day sometimes,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 7: Yes, we did somebody like deliver furniture to her house
Speaker 7: the other day, and we paid extra.
Speaker 3: To have these men come to our house to deliver
Speaker 3: the couch.
Speaker 7: So I always paid them, yeah, but then we had
Speaker 7: to tip them on top, yeah, or something because there
Speaker 7: was an extra stare or something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I hate it. I hate all of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Also the one where this just happened to me, where
Speaker 5: was I It was like Marshals or something.
Speaker 3: You can't tip up Marshalls.
Speaker 2: It was a Marshalls. You're strong, You're so right.
Speaker 5: It was a place where the person it was literally,
Speaker 5: hey can I get this? You sure can uh ring
Speaker 5: it up? Do you want to tip them fifteen, twenty
Speaker 5: or twenty five percent? And I'm like to literally press
Speaker 5: two buttons and then somebody else is actually making the food.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was like a pickup order or whatever. And
Speaker 5: of course I I hit twenty because I'm just like, well,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to be a douchebag. Yeah, an before
Speaker 5: we never had to tip cashiers.
Speaker 7: There's some people making money because we don't want to
Speaker 7: be douchebags. Just have the Dodgers stadium of the day.
Speaker 7: I there's a Dodger stadium. I just got a hot dog.
Speaker 7: I got it myself. I go to the cashier. There's
Speaker 7: a tip option, and I'm like, but I I there's
Speaker 7: no it's no service, right, Like I'm not being delivered
Speaker 7: the food. It's like a Panera cashier situation. And I mean,
Speaker 7: I tipped because I also didn't want to be a douchebag.
Speaker 7: But it's like, I'm not even sure. I think there
Speaker 7: needs to be more more guidance kind of like you know,
Speaker 7: there's a share of paper with like what you can recycle,
Speaker 7: what you can't recycle, and what you know. Yeah, I
Speaker 7: would like a sheet like that from the government. Yeah,
Speaker 7: a tip sheet because I don't know sometimes Yeah.
Speaker 2: And also it's like, oh, this is a company you're
Speaker 2: interacting with the company right now that is screwing their
Speaker 2: workers over in every way possible.
Speaker 5: So if you'd like to give them five, ten or
Speaker 5: fifteen percent, that'd be great. But it's like or all
Speaker 5: of these people it's a co op and they're making
Speaker 5: you know, as much money as anybody else. I mean
Speaker 5: it that seems like a part of it too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And also like with tipping, especially coffee shop and stuff.
Speaker 7: I guess it's fine even though everything is like twelve
Speaker 7: dollars now, but like sometimes you tip and they're not looking.
Speaker 3: It's like I need you to look, you don't.
Speaker 9: I'm not If you're not looking, I will dangle over
Speaker 9: that fish bowl with my dollar until we make icntact,
Speaker 9: make the noise with my mouth.
Speaker 4: Am am am crinkle full crinkle am you bring your
Speaker 4: own bell?
Speaker 2: Do you guys?
Speaker 5: Have you guys discussed the like greed flation insanity? I
Speaker 5: mean it drives me insane, greedflation like every cereal costing
Speaker 5: fifteen dollars?
Speaker 7: Sure, sure, yeah, I mean not like from like an
Speaker 7: actual financial perspective, but again like more from the emotional state,
Speaker 7: because they're both not like financial analysts.
Speaker 3: I like doing stuff on Excel, you know, I liked Oh. Also,
Speaker 3: the other thing about the podcast.
Speaker 7: Is that we'll look at our friends credit card statements
Speaker 7: and we kind of like analyze their spending habits, and
Speaker 7: that's perfect and we.
Speaker 3: Get to know them that way rather than like how
Speaker 3: did you get started in comedies?
Speaker 7: I don't give I don't give a about that I
Speaker 7: do spend seven hundred bucks on coffin.
Speaker 4: That was my next question. Yeah, that's fine. I think
Speaker 4: I made it up in my head that you look
Speaker 4: at their venmost, but yeah, you actually have your guests
Speaker 4: print out their bank statements and then you say, what
Speaker 4: was this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's that's great, it's amazing.
Speaker 7: And it's also like, you know, I've done a couple
Speaker 7: of guests in New York, and the difference in door
Speaker 7: dash last seamless between West Coast and East Coast is like,
Speaker 7: it's fascinating because I think in New York you can
Speaker 7: like walk to places and pick up you know, food
Speaker 7: from your whatever favorite local restaurants.
Speaker 3: But yeah, here you can't do that depending on where
Speaker 3: you live.
Speaker 7: So everybody over here, like especially if you're in your twenties,
Speaker 7: people are dropping like easily a grand thirteen hundred on door.
Speaker 3: Dash every month.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, and that's not including groceries, and that's not
Speaker 7: necessarily including like drinks and restaurants you're going out with
Speaker 7: your friends, right, So.
Speaker 3: That's rant, dude, That's that's a lot.
Speaker 2: It's a lot.
Speaker 3: That's a lot.
Speaker 4: I am confronted all the all the hotspot like eat
Speaker 4: on a sidewalk restaurants in Echo Park. I see kids
Speaker 4: there every single day and it's twenties. It's just like, oh,
Speaker 4: you're parents are rich. Clear, Like how do you yeah
Speaker 4: for to be here every day? I I can't.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 7: But it's so interesting because like everybody has like a
Speaker 7: different relationship with money. So you know people who do
Speaker 7: that like they I've had people who are like, oh,
Speaker 7: I just I buy your groceries, Like I don't cook,
Speaker 7: and that's my lifestyle. Yeah, nic I just do not
Speaker 7: cook and so and to them, like time is a
Speaker 7: little more valuable or whatever, you know. So that's it's
Speaker 7: interesting hearing that because I just I feel like, even
Speaker 7: if I became a millionaire, I don't even think I
Speaker 7: would live like that. Like I don't think I could
Speaker 7: do DoorDash for every meal or like I enjoy cooking.
Speaker 7: I also think it's not just healthier, but like it's
Speaker 7: just the way I was raised.
Speaker 3: Like, you know, you can't just blow all your money
Speaker 3: on DoorDash. You know, it's thirty five dollars every time.
Speaker 2: It's crazy so wasteful, it's really wasteful. And I am
Speaker 2: one of those people.
Speaker 5: Although because I don't cook, and I love the convenience,
Speaker 5: Like it feels very elite to me. It feels like
Speaker 5: a thing I dreamed about always and now I get
Speaker 5: to do it, which is like all right, But because
Speaker 5: of COVID and quarantine, I am so sick of all
Speaker 5: the food that's available to me, Like I kind of
Speaker 5: never want to see any of it again. But I don't.
Speaker 2: I can't. Like it's not like I can go I'm
Speaker 2: sick of this.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna start cooking because it's like then we're just
Speaker 5: in a grilled cheese chicken noodle, super old.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean at that point was cheap. I mean,
Speaker 7: done the math on hiring like a chef.
Speaker 3: I feel maybe did.
Speaker 2: You do it for me? Could you mind running those numbers?
Speaker 7: I really don't think it's especially if you, I don't know,
Speaker 7: if you live alone or if you have a family
Speaker 7: or whatever, like, especially if it's if you divide that
Speaker 7: number by the people that they're feeding in your house,
Speaker 7: Like I don't even think it's that off from this
Speaker 7: crazy DoorDash world we live in.
Speaker 4: Yeah, true, I think that is why I'm confronted by
Speaker 4: spending time making I feel so strange and serial killery.
Speaker 4: When I am making following a recipe, making a meal
Speaker 4: and sitting down and eating it alone, that just seems
Speaker 4: I don't know why.
Speaker 2: That's just a solid four solitary hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and let me put these other two portions in
Speaker 4: this tupperware.
Speaker 5: I always get to the end of like, I cooked it,
Speaker 5: I shopped it, I prepped it, I cooked it.
Speaker 2: Now it's time to eat it.
Speaker 5: I don't want to eat any of this ship Like
Speaker 5: it's like I'm angry that I had to do it
Speaker 5: at all, and by the time it's ready to be
Speaker 5: on a plate, I'm so disinterested.
Speaker 3: Funny, So you have a little attitude.
Speaker 2: I think I have a real big attitude.
Speaker 3: So funny, but it's towards you. You're just like the two.
Speaker 3: It is not for the chef.
Speaker 4: It's just you.
Speaker 3: I'd like to speak to my marriage.
Speaker 2: It's weird.
Speaker 5: It's like, and I'm so jealous of people who grew
Speaker 5: up and like basically kind of naturally know how to cook,
Speaker 5: Like those people that are just like, come on, it's
Speaker 5: and they always do this. I'm like, hey, will you
Speaker 5: teach me like kind of basic recipes and they're like,
Speaker 5: it's easy. Throw this in and throw that in, and
Speaker 5: it's like, that is never the way it turns out
Speaker 5: if I throw stuff in.
Speaker 3: You know what helse means, Like I watch a mavidh DS.
Speaker 7: I can't watch like a ten minute YouTube those shorts,
Speaker 7: those YouTube shorts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of recipes, it is Matt quick, it's visual.
Speaker 7: I'm hobnoestly not trying to make anything too complicated, but
Speaker 7: like I started cooking because of that.
Speaker 3: It's like you just look at it for a second.
Speaker 7: You're like, Oh, I just need like these three spices
Speaker 7: or these three oils or whatever.
Speaker 5: It is nice that they like that kind of content simplifies,
Speaker 5: like takes all the drama and mystery out of it,
Speaker 5: and it's just like, yeah, you just need to buy
Speaker 5: you know, ginger pepper and some chicken or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know until our podcast started getting sponsored
Speaker 4: by pre made meal kits.
Speaker 3: I didn't even know.
Speaker 4: You're supposed to have olive oil and things like that.
Speaker 4: I didn't have staping, And now I know what staple
Speaker 4: things to always have, and and I've learned a lot
Speaker 4: from those to where I can like make ten things.
Speaker 4: So I sort of have gotten into it. But I
Speaker 4: didn't grow up like you were saying that.
Speaker 7: Tracks because I feel like if you're sk skater boy,
Speaker 7: you can't be olive oil. You're too busy skating for
Speaker 7: the girls.
Speaker 3: Olive oil extra Virgin.
Speaker 4: No thanks, I don't have time for that. I got
Speaker 4: spray paint this wall. Flip off a cop.
Speaker 2: All the girls that hang out at Costco at seven
Speaker 2: a chilling in the road age appropriate.
Speaker 3: Ladies, Oh my god, for.
Speaker 4: Some six inchie.
Speaker 7: I'm thinking the only women at Costco do early are
Speaker 7: like immigrant moms, restaurant managers.
Speaker 4: Yep, it is just us because we pretty much quit
Speaker 4: when Costco opens, like I get there at seven, and
Speaker 4: so it's us and guys that work for Costco that
Speaker 4: are cleaning the like parking lot and we fizz bump
Speaker 4: were They are our friends. They defend us when someone
Speaker 4: defend you when there's because there's been a few guys
Speaker 4: have collided with cars because people learn they drive diagonal,
Speaker 4: people drive crazy in the parking lots and they but
Speaker 4: in their defense, they don't expect a grown man to
Speaker 4: be skateboarder, and and they'll say, hey, you know, they're
Speaker 4: skateboarders in your parking lot. And the Costco employees will
Speaker 4: be like, oh, yeah, they're here every morning. It's it's okay,
Speaker 4: like nice, Yeah, they're on our side. It's that's the
Speaker 4: first time that's ever happened. That's that's adult skateboarding.
Speaker 7: You know, you're in it with the authority.
Speaker 4: It's so funny at this point in my life when
Speaker 4: someone does try and kick you out of a spot
Speaker 4: and you're you're fifteen years older than them and and they.
Speaker 3: They have to that's so funny.
Speaker 7: Yeah, all the time piked up by like a twenty
Speaker 7: seven shouldn't be here.
Speaker 4: No running by the pool. You're six, dame, I know
Speaker 4: how to run, man.
Speaker 7: I respect that you stop when the store open, so
Speaker 7: you know that's that's respectful.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, there's just too many cars. It's really a
Speaker 4: safety issue.
Speaker 3: Are you just grinding and stuff?
Speaker 4: Are there?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: That's really all that. It's it's just a sea of
Speaker 4: curbs of different sizes.
Speaker 3: Do you bring your own rails and stuff for no?
Speaker 4: I Sometimes people will bring stuff and it immediately gets
Speaker 4: cleaned out. Like we've tried to hide boxes and rails
Speaker 4: behind trees or behind the walls of the dumpster area.
Speaker 4: But yeah, it usually gets picked up. But there's enough
Speaker 4: stuff there already existing. We just bring Bondo and wax
Speaker 4: and prep the curbs and and we've repaved a lot
Speaker 4: of it, which I think they appreciate. Uh.
Speaker 3: And yeah, just the fact.
Speaker 4: That we put some maintenance into it and keep it clean,
Speaker 4: I think they appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Can just real quick, Yeah, where'd you get the asphalt?
Speaker 3: Oh a lot.
Speaker 4: I'm one of the guys that just shows up and
Speaker 4: skates and I haven't put in my I should do
Speaker 4: a little work myself, But I mean.
Speaker 5: How does one repave the Costco parking lot as an
Speaker 5: individual citizen?
Speaker 4: Yeah, A lot of it is like this. A lot
Speaker 4: of guys are with Bondo. It's the stuff that gets
Speaker 4: rock hard. But it's like a putty form and you
Speaker 4: mix two elements together and gets rock hard. And then
Speaker 4: we'll paint it black so it matches. Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 4: like smooths out. Yeah, it's so nerdy.
Speaker 5: So you're treating the parking lot potholes kind of like
Speaker 5: dentse in a car, where you're just like, oh, we'll
Speaker 5: just go over this and then.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean part of me wants to do it.
Speaker 4: Around the city with some of these potholes, we really
Speaker 4: do nice work.
Speaker 2: Yeah, take it out into the city.
Speaker 3: Are all the skaters members of Cosco?
Speaker 4: That's funny. I think I'm the only one because a
Speaker 4: lot of guys go in after the session for a
Speaker 4: post skateboarding and we're just talking about that. I think
Speaker 4: I was on my dad's plan for a while, but
Speaker 4: I have his old card and it really just doesn't
Speaker 4: look like me. So I'm scared I'll get in trouble.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh that's that's if you're not a member and
Speaker 4: all you're getting is a hot dog, that's an embarrassing
Speaker 4: Costco experience.
Speaker 2: Well, you're not getting your money's worth.
Speaker 5: Really.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 7: I just became a member, and I because I didn't
Speaker 7: have one in New York because you know, we don't
Speaker 7: have cars and they just wasn't necessary.
Speaker 3: But I love it, man, I love Costco.
Speaker 5: What's the your favorite thing that you remember buying the
Speaker 5: last shopping trip?
Speaker 4: At Costco?
Speaker 7: We get a lot of like sodas, like not sweet
Speaker 7: and SODA's, but like like La Croix, like the six cans, crazy,
Speaker 7: like sixty flas, like yeah, grape or stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, cucumber line where you're like, what were wee something?
Speaker 3: They don't have that for like the regular care.
Speaker 4: You're right, I was trying to think of because when
Speaker 4: I think Costco, I do think of a lifetime supply
Speaker 4: of condiment. Tape to another lifetime supply of condiment, like
Speaker 4: you have to give it to someone else. Yes, it's
Speaker 4: not necessarily warehouse amounts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we try to get things that we actually will use.
Speaker 7: So, like, because everybody warned me, they're like, if you
Speaker 7: get a Costo membership, you're gonna go crazy because it's
Speaker 7: gonna be so fun.
Speaker 3: So we try to like limit it. But what did
Speaker 3: I buy? You know?
Speaker 7: I bought toothbrush Has. I got a great deal on
Speaker 7: some Phillips. Toothbrush has very expensive on Amazon.
Speaker 2: They are expensive.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love the man. I love Costco.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know why I think of food, Like
Speaker 4: I'm like, why would I be a member of Costco.
Speaker 4: I don't need one hundred tiketos.
Speaker 2: But there's every you deal you do need.
Speaker 4: There's laptops, you know.
Speaker 7: I go in there sometimes when I'm like, I don't
Speaker 7: because I like, especially in this neighborhood was Hollywood.
Speaker 3: If you want to get lunch.
Speaker 7: This is the first thing I realized when I moved
Speaker 7: to La I was like, oh, if I want to
Speaker 7: eat something, it cost me twenty dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything, and I was.
Speaker 2: So sick and it kind of probably won't be that good.
Speaker 7: No, No, absolutely compared to you know, in New York, if
Speaker 7: you're really on a budget, you get a sandwich of
Speaker 7: the deli, it's pretty solid. It's like two dollars, right,
Speaker 7: Anything under ten, I feel is fair in.
Speaker 3: Twenty four mm.
Speaker 7: But because I was like a little budget conscious when
Speaker 7: I first moved here, when I got the Costco thing,
Speaker 7: I would get sushi from there.
Speaker 3: They'd have these huge sushi things for like nine.
Speaker 7: Dollars, but they don't give you chop stick there because
Speaker 7: they don't want they don't think you're gonna eat it there. Absolutely,
Speaker 7: I would just eat it using the fork for the
Speaker 7: for the other things they have about the food court, yeah,
Speaker 7: and I'd just be in my little sushi there was
Speaker 7: and it was good, Like.
Speaker 2: You felt like that was good fresh fish.
Speaker 7: And like, well, it's not like it's not gonna blow
Speaker 7: your mind, but it is pretty good for what it is.
Speaker 7: I would say it's better than like I would say
Speaker 7: it's even better than I don't know, some stuff you
Speaker 7: get a whole foods or something.
Speaker 3: Sometimes, you know, like I thought it was pretty.
Speaker 7: Solid, but you get a lot, You get like twice
Speaker 7: the amount for like the same money.
Speaker 3: So I would do stuff like that, go in there
Speaker 3: and get a little get a little food.
Speaker 2: And that would then be kind of like your sushi
Speaker 2: for the week, like.
Speaker 3: You could go back to it. I eat it there,
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one thing about sushi.
Speaker 2: Picture a Costco amount of a flat hungry.
Speaker 4: Boy, that's a lot of pressure. I just bought sushi
Speaker 4: for ten because that's the only amount they offer.
Speaker 5: I just got to churn through this for the next
Speaker 5: five hours on the patio.
Speaker 3: Go get the bucket.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it probably looks sad from the outside point of
Speaker 7: definitely like a family party.
Speaker 3: Set for that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I I it's.
Speaker 4: Amazing what they have there. I've gotten golf clubs there,
Speaker 4: they got muffins, they got winter tires, all Kirkland brand.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 4: I guess I am a fan of Costco.
Speaker 2: Yeah you are.
Speaker 4: I'm just not a fan of indoor birds.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of birds.
Speaker 4: Noticed this. Yeah, well it's a warehouse, it's open. The
Speaker 4: birds are you know, they kind of lived there.
Speaker 3: Damn much like the airport. I don't like that, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of birds in Costco if your look,
Speaker 4: if you look up, they're just flying around.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna look up.
Speaker 4: I know me too, and I don't know something about
Speaker 4: a place that sells food. I don't want there to
Speaker 4: be birds.
Speaker 3: You're not alone in that fair. It's totally recent.
Speaker 4: I'm actually gonna demand that everyone took this off. Let's
Speaker 4: not eating their birds.
Speaker 2: No birds in the bakery sections, please.
Speaker 7: I won a lot of people know about the birds,
Speaker 7: or if you know, because you go there every morning
Speaker 7: to skate and you just know a lot about the terrain.
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it's this Costco. It does remind me. I
Speaker 4: think it was in Idiocracy where everything they went into
Speaker 4: a giant warehouse area that was like a Costco times ten,
Speaker 4: and they had birds flying everywhere, and it was I
Speaker 4: was like, oh, can you imagine? And then now I've noticed, Oh,
Speaker 4: there's actually birds in Costco. I think maybe there always was,
Speaker 4: but you cannot buy them.
Speaker 2: I'll take thirty of the sparrows.
Speaker 4: I don't know how you wring this picture. I can't
Speaker 4: find the barcode.
Speaker 3: Costco jokes. I love it.
Speaker 2: I'm old, well relate.
Speaker 4: I love saying Kirkland signature. It's just one of my
Speaker 4: favorite phrases. Yeah, a linguist can explain.
