Speaker 1: And this is Karen Kilgaraff.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so blistery, blistery cold.
Speaker 3: Karen the weather Look, nobody wants to hear people in
Speaker 3: southern California to talk about how hard it is to
Speaker 3: live in fifty degree weather. We understand that and we know,
Speaker 3: but we.
Speaker 1: Still have to talk about it because it's so crazy.
Speaker 3: Let's just give a quick weather update everybody, all your listeners,
Speaker 3: first of all, thanks for listening. We appreciate it. Also,
Speaker 3: Kathy mckibbon, if you're listening, I saw Rick. Thank you
Speaker 3: for listening. My old neighbor Rick. You may have met
Speaker 3: him at my housewarming party. Chris, but oh yeah, he
Speaker 3: had to come over because there was so many bad
Speaker 3: things going on with my house because of the storm
Speaker 3: last week that Rick came over because he's a contractor
Speaker 3: and had to do all kinds of stuff. And then
Speaker 3: he was like, his wife's name's Kathy, and he said,
Speaker 3: you know, Kathy listens to your podcast and he said
Speaker 3: before she goes to sleep. And I said really True
Speaker 3: Crime and he goes, no, No, the other one where
Speaker 3: you just talk. And I go, oh, do you need
Speaker 3: to write? He goes, yeah, she likes that one. And
Speaker 3: so I was like, oh, that's first of all Kathy's og.
Speaker 3: She's all about the straight up chat show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do just talk.
Speaker 1: We really do.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But I couldn't be more grateful to have had them
Speaker 3: as neighbors when I lived at my old house, because
Speaker 3: I had a contractor that lived next door, which is
Speaker 3: one of the hardest things in Los Angeles, one of
Speaker 3: the hardest people to get a hold of, because of course,
Speaker 3: and that can help you when your house is screwed
Speaker 3: up and it may have happened to you in this weather,
Speaker 3: like it's been pouring rain for days and days like
Speaker 3: hard rain, and we haven't had rain here in three years, right,
Speaker 3: so all of a sudden, every was like I my garage,
Speaker 3: the front of my garage was flooded. There was like
Speaker 3: two feet of water. I actually was bailing out this
Speaker 3: pond of water.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 3: It's the kind of weather all across this town that
Speaker 3: no one is prepared for and no house is prepared
Speaker 3: for it.
Speaker 2: Right, that's we're not complaining about the I mean, and
Speaker 2: in our defense, it was thirty nine the other night,
Speaker 2: not a low of fifty. But none of the houses
Speaker 2: here like are equipped for Like the rain is soaking
Speaker 2: up into the foundation. We don't have houses on stilts
Speaker 2: or anything. And my like, in my garage, the roof
Speaker 2: just fell on my car and dented it. Like wow wow, yeah,
Speaker 2: somehow it got wet seeping from the ground and all
Speaker 2: this wet dry wall landed luckily. I don't care much
Speaker 2: about my car, but legitimate dent. It just fell on it.
Speaker 2: I opened the garage door and it's just blanketed with
Speaker 2: sheet rock. And that's cause, yeah, we just are not
Speaker 2: This city is not equipped for.
Speaker 1: Rain, and we're not equipped for rain.
Speaker 3: But last week the wind was so extreme my electricity
Speaker 3: went out a couple times I don't know if that
Speaker 3: happened to you. No, no, I think it was Friday night.
Speaker 2: But I did see a tree crush a toyota supra
Speaker 2: that a guy has worked on his whole life, and
Speaker 2: it made me very sad for him.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, no, I mean that happened everywhere because these
Speaker 3: trees are all dried out to the roots, and so
Speaker 3: this is the funniest thing. So there's a big tree
Speaker 3: separating my house from my neighbor's house. I didn't hear
Speaker 3: anything or anything, but I got up in the morning
Speaker 3: and I went to empty the garbage and this tree
Speaker 3: is just leaning on my house and I was like,
Speaker 3: whoa because it didn't make noise nothing. So it's like
Speaker 3: in the wind, there was such constant wind that this
Speaker 3: tree just slowly casually over it. Really, it just kind
Speaker 3: of drunkenly leaned.
Speaker 2: On elbow on your roof.
Speaker 1: But it's a huge.
Speaker 3: Tree and uh cut, you know, it's like, oh okay,
Speaker 3: but that's you know, there's doesn't seem to be any damage,
Speaker 3: but it's got to go. And so I called the
Speaker 3: neighbor and he he owns the house, but he doesn't
Speaker 3: live there, and so oh no, I emailed him and
Speaker 3: then I didn't get a response, and then I saw
Speaker 3: that he had called me, and so I called him
Speaker 3: back and he's like, hey, so, yeah, that tree you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw it whatever. And I'm like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, and he's like yeah. So he goes, I
Speaker 3: don't you know, like, because we don't know each other
Speaker 3: that well, but we met once and he's a lovely man,
Speaker 3: and he's like, so I looked it up and actually,
Speaker 3: this California law is like, if a tree falls into
Speaker 3: your yard, it becomes your responsibility to take care of
Speaker 3: uh huh, Well isn't that crazy? And so I go, oh, okay,
Speaker 3: and I goes, so I should just take care of the.
Speaker 2: Tree with your chainsaw that you own, yeah, exactly, and
Speaker 2: your leather.
Speaker 3: But wait, he goes, wait, what do you mean, it's
Speaker 3: your tree in my yard. So I have a tree
Speaker 3: in my backyard that I didn't even know went down
Speaker 3: and fell into his backyard and broke the fence between
Speaker 3: our yards, and that I didn't even notice because I
Speaker 3: was so obsessed with the tree in the front. So
Speaker 3: when I go, oh, no, I was talking about the
Speaker 3: tree in the front, and he goes, I know what
Speaker 3: are you talking about? And I'm like, oh, yeah, a
Speaker 3: gigantic tree in like the front planner is just kind
Speaker 3: of down on my house. And he goes, oh my god,
Speaker 3: my tenants didn't even tell me. And it turns out
Speaker 3: this tree is God. This might be one of the
Speaker 3: more boring things we've ever talked.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, it's scary. People die from.
Speaker 3: They die, and this tree just is leaning. The roots
Speaker 3: didn't come up. It doesn't look like a tree that
Speaker 3: fell over because it isn't. It hadn't fallen all the
Speaker 3: way over, so the people that live in the house
Speaker 3: didn't even notice that the tree was over because it's
Speaker 3: just over, like five feet from where it normally was.
Speaker 2: I love that they're falling subtly and resting upon things
Speaker 2: as if to lightly yeah, like it's a water and
Speaker 2: they're about to say, what are you getting into this weekend.
Speaker 3: It was the funniest phone call because I don't know
Speaker 3: this person very well, and this is where you really
Speaker 3: learn who people are, right, because he could have called
Speaker 3: and been like you owe me this much money, or
Speaker 3: he could have done anything. And when I sent him
Speaker 3: the email, I really was like, Hey, this is awkward
Speaker 3: because We've only had one conversation. But I'm not demanding
Speaker 3: anything from you. I just I'm trying to let you know, like, hey,
Speaker 3: we need to make.
Speaker 1: A plan or something.
Speaker 3: And then when I didn't hear back, I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 3: these I wonder what this means. So then when he
Speaker 3: called me, it was like he called me on Sunday,
Speaker 3: but the call didn't go through until Tuesday, and he goes,
Speaker 3: I called you on Sunday, and so he and it
Speaker 3: just didn't Sometimes that happens, like the call doesn't come through.
Speaker 3: So he thought I was avoiding him, and I thought
Speaker 3: he was avoiding me, and we both were talking about
Speaker 3: different trees.
Speaker 2: Yeah, another leisurely weekend tree.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 3: We laughed and laughed, and then we were both very
Speaker 3: relieved that we aren't unreasonable people and we can just
Speaker 3: like he's like, so he's.
Speaker 2: Just get a guy. He's the contractor guy.
Speaker 3: No, No, the contractor guy is from my old house, Rick,
Speaker 3: who's who helped me with the flooding.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 3: But then Rick was like, you got to get that
Speaker 3: tree off your house that could actually do damage. And
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I know, I'm talking to the guy whatever.
Speaker 3: So anyway, thank God, it's a positive ending to the story.
Speaker 3: But it's like we're not just talking about like being
Speaker 3: chilly or whatever. This weather has been so extreme that
Speaker 3: like it's like it was hailing on the east Side today.
Speaker 3: Ye like a little bit of snow in Silver Lake
Speaker 3: or Glendale's.
Speaker 2: And it's cold in our houses. Our house, there's zero insulation.
Speaker 2: If you look in my attic, it is just planks
Speaker 2: of wood. So even though it might be zero degrees
Speaker 2: where you live, you have like a heating system that's
Speaker 2: ready for that.
Speaker 3: I am raying you live in a culture that's prepared
Speaker 3: for it. Yeah, your steam heater comes on and fills
Speaker 3: up the room, and.
Speaker 2: You own car hearts, you have surreal boots. I'm in
Speaker 2: my apartment with my surf trunks.
Speaker 3: Trembling, crying, crying, begging the Lord to help.
Speaker 2: Oh, I get so religious, but I don't have to
Speaker 2: be anymore. Guess who got fancy, very high end health insurance.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: How did you do that?
Speaker 2: I just I called a broker and eyes like, here's
Speaker 2: what I need. And I know I'm going to pay
Speaker 2: a lot a month, but I'm just gonna get in there,
Speaker 2: get all the cameras in my holes do everything that
Speaker 2: a guy my age needs to do. I can't wait
Speaker 2: for these cameras because each painful one will bring me
Speaker 2: peace of mind. That's right, And the guy was very helpful,
Speaker 2: the insurance guy. I don't remember what my insurance company
Speaker 2: is called. It's some Obamacare, it's a.
Speaker 1: New met Life snoopy, it's no.
Speaker 2: I wish I wish it was. Oh God, imagine, imagine
Speaker 2: if I had just an insurance that reminded me of
Speaker 2: my childhood and no adults and dancing. Now I need
Speaker 2: to look. I was looking because I am always nervous
Speaker 2: when over the phone. It seems so bizarre to give
Speaker 2: your card number and the three digit code and everything.
Speaker 2: And sure enough, I got distracted by not I didn't
Speaker 2: find the insurance because I apparently have been eating at
Speaker 2: many Italian restaurants in Florida. I don't know if it's related,
Speaker 2: but someone duplicated my card. I called my bank and
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, these were in person purchases. And then
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, it's important a note right now that
Speaker 2: I've never been to Florida and they're all Italian restaurants.
Speaker 2: They're dipping their toes in They've got a nine dollar
Speaker 2: like ap tizer one day, and then they went to
Speaker 2: another Italian place and spent like twenty nine bucks, and
Speaker 2: then and then they got a friend and got a
Speaker 2: nice sixty dollars dinner, all at these Italian places. I
Speaker 2: was googling pictures to make sure, even though I haven't
Speaker 2: been in Florida, that I hadn't accidentally gone to these restaurants.
Speaker 3: Just a double check that you weren't like sleep eating
Speaker 3: or anything.
Speaker 2: Or to see that they weren't like it was a
Speaker 2: parent company of a place I went here in LA
Speaker 2: but I haven't been eating out here either. They were
Speaker 2: all pending, they all got reversed. Everything is fine.
Speaker 3: That happened to me recently. And the first it's the
Speaker 3: first place they used my card was at Ralf's to
Speaker 3: buy groceries, and it bummed me out so bad, where
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is where we're at, Like, yeah, this
Speaker 3: is where we're at, where people are desperate and they're
Speaker 3: they're not stealing people's identity so that they can go
Speaker 3: do crazy shit.
Speaker 1: They're trying to buy groceries.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this was I mean, he went out for
Speaker 2: a fancy who they whoever it was. It could have
Speaker 2: been an accident. I don't know, but it seems like
Speaker 2: a lavish Italian dinner. That kind of made me upset.
Speaker 2: But you're right. While I was on stage years ago
Speaker 2: in Seattle, someone went into the green room stole my wallet.
Speaker 2: Obviously looked at the wallet and said, hey, that's the
Speaker 2: guy on stage right now. This is how much they
Speaker 2: didn't like my comedy. They went and they filled multiple
Speaker 2: cars with gas during my show, to where right when
Speaker 2: I was done, I went in the green room. Notice
Speaker 2: my wallet was gone, because I knew I put it there.
Speaker 2: Called the police, and the one cop in that area
Speaker 2: was like an outskirt of Seattle. He's like, you know,
Speaker 2: I did see a Mustang speeding away from the gas
Speaker 2: station going about sixty, but I didn't want to endanger anyone,
Speaker 2: so I didn't chase him. But he saw the person. Wow.
Speaker 2: But it's another person that said, hey, you go get
Speaker 2: your truck with the giant gas tank. We're all meeting.
Speaker 2: I got a good card, we're all going to get gas, which,
Speaker 2: like you just says, kind of hard to get mad
Speaker 2: if someone desperately just needs gas. They did reverse the
Speaker 2: charges and I wasn't responsible for them, but it did
Speaker 2: make me sad. Like gas and groceries, that's how they're
Speaker 2: going to spend my money. And I can't be that
Speaker 2: mad at it. But Italian dinners, I will go after you.
Speaker 2: Time to take a trip to Florida.
Speaker 3: Look how much calamari these people still on your dime?
Speaker 1: Yeah in Florida.
Speaker 3: What if it's two old people that are just like,
Speaker 3: we don't give a shit anymore.
Speaker 2: Happy anniversary, sweetie.
Speaker 1: This one's on fair bag.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they come in wearing ski masks. Oh. I love
Speaker 2: this elderly career criminal couple. Oh. Speaking of my favorite
Speaker 2: old lady that compliments the scariest of people in the
Speaker 2: parking lot. And everyone's saying, hey, you should have her
Speaker 2: on the podcast. I keep getting because she's a delightful
Speaker 2: lady that and I did see her at Lasen's today,
Speaker 2: but I didn't. I think I probably made the good
Speaker 2: choice not to just invite a random stranger on our podcast.
Speaker 3: I would know, and also, let me let me just tell,
Speaker 3: let me tell you and the listeners this as a
Speaker 3: person who had to go through the audience every single
Speaker 3: day at the old talk show I worked at. Right,
Speaker 3: She's great in real life because she's great in real life. Yes,
Speaker 3: that is not does not always translate, in fact, rarely translates.
Speaker 2: I'm going to say, yeah, the media, Yeah, there's a
Speaker 2: one percent chance that all of a sudden should be
Speaker 2: comfortable on their personality.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would love it.
Speaker 3: You know, it would almost be like if we found
Speaker 3: out she, like your dad, was an old radio host
Speaker 3: DJ and had the chops or whatever. And actually, you
Speaker 3: know what, now that I say that, this is Los Angeles,
Speaker 3: where everybody used to be somebody at some.
Speaker 2: Point, I'm assuming she was. She's got she's got this
Speaker 2: glamor to her. She's this pomp and circumstance. I don't
Speaker 2: even know what that means. But I just like the
Speaker 2: I just like the way she carries herself. Maybe all
Speaker 2: podcasts aside. I just need to become friends.
Speaker 3: Yes, you should talk to her anyway from a bit
Speaker 3: of a distance, Yes, just for comfort sake. But then
Speaker 3: also maybe when we get back into the car and
Speaker 3: you've already made friends with her and we find out
Speaker 3: that she used to have a contract at Paramount and
Speaker 3: she was in you know, one of the swimmers with
Speaker 3: Esther Williams or whatever, that would be right, some amazing thing.
Speaker 3: Then she's in the cart.
Speaker 1: It makes sense.
Speaker 2: I want her to be one of those synchronized swimmers
Speaker 2: where they where they kicked together in the form of
Speaker 2: a flower wearing a pink little hat. I hope that
Speaker 2: was her past life.
Speaker 3: The height of Hollywood glamour. There was some one of
Speaker 3: those studio sets that had a gigantic pool on it
Speaker 3: where people were just in the pool shooting all day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the same pool that they danced and fell into
Speaker 2: and it's a wonderful life.
Speaker 3: The sideways dive one after the other like a roll off,
Speaker 3: but into a pool.
Speaker 1: We love that.
Speaker 2: Yes, perhaps at the Elizabeth Taylor Aquatic Center where I
Speaker 2: did my physical therapy for a short while.
Speaker 3: Perhaps that's what it is. Did you ever see the
Speaker 3: movie Hale Caesar, the Cohen Brothers movie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it. I didn't realize I loved it.
Speaker 2: I had to watch it again.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the Coen Brothers make movies like old
Speaker 3: school movie style, where it's like you're not going to
Speaker 3: get this all at once. Yeah, like you're going to
Speaker 3: be able to watch it multiple times and see new things.
Speaker 3: But that part where Scarlett Johansson is Esther Williams, but
Speaker 3: she kind of talks like this, like it was the
Speaker 3: funniest and then she ultimately falls in love with Jonah
Speaker 3: Hill at the end.
Speaker 2: Oh I don't remember. I got to watch it again.
Speaker 3: I think, Oh, it's so good and just like that
Speaker 3: idea where it's like it's the business side of Hollywood,
Speaker 3: where you know, Josh Brolin is walking around having to be.
Speaker 1: The that runs the studio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, making sure everybody's doing what they're supposed to
Speaker 3: be doing and not doing what they're not supposed to
Speaker 3: be doing.
Speaker 1: So good.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, at a time when not only were they
Speaker 2: the agent of the actor, they also own the studio,
Speaker 2: so they're double dipping just all these and they have
Speaker 2: to slap them around when they're not on set in time,
Speaker 2: and most of.
Speaker 3: Them are from the mafia. That's how they got everything
Speaker 3: to work the way it worked. It was because there
Speaker 3: was a real mafia presence.
Speaker 2: Oh I love old dirty Hollywood.
Speaker 3: It was a dirty town and it continues to be,
Speaker 3: but now it's also windy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, none of the buildings have been maintained at all.
Speaker 3: It is kind of cool that, like Paramount's still there,
Speaker 3: Warner Brothers are still there, like the same exact places
Speaker 3: where they, you know, filmed, like Humphrey Bogart movies.
Speaker 1: They're still there.
Speaker 2: Hey, why all these studio Hey Karen, why do all
Speaker 2: these studio lots have their own water tower?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: Uh, that's because if there's a fire on thel, you
Speaker 3: need a source of water.
Speaker 1: I actually don't know. I made that up.
Speaker 2: I bet you're right. It ain't for drinking.
Speaker 3: I bet it ain't for drinking. And I bet it
Speaker 3: is some sort of because also it's like those kind
Speaker 3: of water tower things they're in New York too, on
Speaker 3: people's roofs, old water towers.
Speaker 1: What are they called.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sometimes sometimes confused ladies that maybe getting followed by
Speaker 2: a ghost or something crawl into one and die. Remember
Speaker 2: that that's a bad one. Is a bad one. It's scary.
Speaker 2: It's a scary, scary, scary thing that I revisit off
Speaker 2: and I still want to solve it.
Speaker 3: Her name is Alisa Lamb and it's horrible and sad.
Speaker 3: And they think probably she was off her meds and
Speaker 3: so she was having a manic episode.
Speaker 2: Yes, that was a that is what makes it very sad. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I brought it up, but don't crawl into
Speaker 2: water towers, is all I'm saying for real.
Speaker 3: Also, the hotel she was staying at is has such
Speaker 3: a creepy history, and we should actually tell our listeners.
Speaker 1: This first listener that weren't.
Speaker 2: Here in La right, Yes it was. Yeah, there's a
Speaker 2: documentary about.
Speaker 3: That break downtown. There's a great documentary on some streaming
Speaker 3: network about it.
Speaker 1: You can look it up.
Speaker 3: But if you listener ever come to Los Angeles to visit, yes,
Speaker 3: do not stay downtown unless it's like a Hilton or
Speaker 3: one that has like more than ten floors. But there's
Speaker 3: a lot of people who make this mistake where they
Speaker 3: come to Los Angeles but they want cheap lodging and
Speaker 3: then they end up downtown at a hotel that's also
Speaker 3: like a halfway house or something crazy, and it's like
Speaker 3: way worse than you could even imagine.
Speaker 2: And in this case, if I recall correctly, all the
Speaker 2: permanent residents that lived there were on the lower floors,
Speaker 2: so you had to go through to get to the
Speaker 2: actual hotel rooms. You had to go on an elevator,
Speaker 2: sharing it with the people that were like squatting or
Speaker 2: or there to shoot up needle drugs or play illegal poker.
Speaker 1: Or possibly the nightstalker. He stayed there for a while.
Speaker 2: You're kidding.
Speaker 3: Two different serial killers stayed in that hotel. You can
Speaker 3: look it up on Netflix or whatever and watch it.
Speaker 2: And yeah, the part of that documentary is there was
Speaker 2: like a hotel manager that was trying so hard to
Speaker 2: make it a nice hotel and took a job so seriously,
Speaker 2: and I felt bad for her the whole time she
Speaker 2: was striking. She was.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she was the kind of person when you watch that,
Speaker 3: when you watch that documentary, which is a great one
Speaker 3: by the way, like it's just there's so much going
Speaker 3: on in it, but that woman, you just want to
Speaker 3: like grab her by the shoulders and go. At some
Speaker 3: point you have to give up, Like, at some point,
Speaker 3: this is too much for one person.
Speaker 1: Like you went to.
Speaker 3: Probably college for hospitality and you know, like hotel whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and this is isn't that? Don't do it to yourself. Concierging,
Speaker 3: hotel concierging. Yeah, it's a it's a small major, but
Speaker 3: it's a good major.
Speaker 1: It's a you know, it's a friendly major.
Speaker 2: Yeah, watch where you stay. Don't save money.
Speaker 3: Don't save money in downtown Los Angeles, Right.
Speaker 1: That's slurge.
Speaker 2: Had I were to finished, I had to take a
Speaker 2: sip of my cold coffee.
Speaker 3: Oh well, it's bad timing. Is cold coffee part of
Speaker 3: your new diet?
Speaker 2: It's me trying to save money. Actually, I just tell
Speaker 2: coffee I brewed. I brewed it yesterday, and uh and
Speaker 2: I just you know, you warm it back up. It's
Speaker 2: only been a day.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: It's funny. I always make the same amount of coffee.
Speaker 3: I always make six cups. Yeah, I always have coffee leftover, yep.
Speaker 3: And I actually sometimes I'll reheat it later in the
Speaker 3: day or like you know, if I need it later.
Speaker 1: But I don't hold it over to the next day.
Speaker 2: No, I fill a whole pot. I make. I live alone.
Speaker 2: Yet I make enough coffee for a boss and three
Speaker 2: staff writers. That's how prepared I am.
Speaker 1: Then you put your clip on, tie on, and you
Speaker 1: go into the front room.
Speaker 2: You got to create your own future. You have to
Speaker 2: make it happen. That's what I'm doing. It starts with
Speaker 2: making enough coffee for a production shoot.
Speaker 3: You've got one of those big, like the kind of
Speaker 3: coffee dispensers that's like at a wedding or whatever that
Speaker 3: ye're like, you know, one hundred cups in it.
Speaker 2: A big steel rental yep, yeah, with a spigot on it.
Speaker 3: Fun always the worst coffee, just the worst coffee that
Speaker 3: they make in those but you have it with your
Speaker 3: pie and you'll love it.
Speaker 2: Oh God, I've been buying entire pies too, and just
Speaker 2: eat one slice.
Speaker 3: I love around the holidays when you get to eat
Speaker 3: pie for breakfast and no one says a word about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a there's a lot I'm going to miss
Speaker 2: with my new which I asked you about before we
Speaker 2: start recording. But I'm doing the whole thirty and I
Speaker 2: don't believe pie is on that diet.
Speaker 1: Probably not.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any It's nuts. I can have
Speaker 2: nuts and dried fruits. Let's see if I recall this correctly.
Speaker 2: I can have sardines because great. You know me, I'm
Speaker 2: a salty old fisherman and I love cannon, my own
Speaker 2: tiny fish.
Speaker 1: You're a cat with a hat and a tie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have an alley cat friend. I'll go out
Speaker 2: and get some fishbones from him. And then I like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think you said I could have cauliflower brice. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I bet I start to feel great though physically,
Speaker 2: I'm just not going to Flavor Country this month.
Speaker 3: But also you're one of those people that doesn't care
Speaker 3: about sweet things? Am I right about that?
Speaker 2: You know me? I have drinks a few nights a week.
Speaker 2: You know I'm not going to be drinking. So I
Speaker 2: think that's where my sugar tooth and all the teeth,
Speaker 2: all the sweet teeth are going to want some sweet
Speaker 2: tea and cake and everything because you know, alcohol won't
Speaker 2: be satisfied. Yeah. Yeah, turns to sugar in your body now.
Speaker 2: I'm not even getting that accidental future sugar. That's right.
Speaker 1: The sugar area of your system is going to be like,
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on?
Speaker 2: Yeah, anytime I stop drinking it is, I'm just as
Speaker 2: I follow lessly if I'm counting snickers, ice cream bars,
Speaker 2: jumping over a fence.
Speaker 3: Oh so you don't, So that's good to hear that
Speaker 3: you will you believe that basically the reason you don't
Speaker 3: have a sweet tooth is because you're satisfying it with
Speaker 3: a little beersy beers here and there.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, or I'm afraid some of the clear liquors
Speaker 2: you're vonn because I don't have a problem. I don't think.
Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit, but that is one of the
Speaker 2: main reasons I'm doing this diet. It resets your body,
Speaker 2: according to the website, Sure, and uh makes it very
Speaker 2: difficult to make meals, which I'm looking forward to. But
Speaker 2: I also feel like I could use no alcohol for
Speaker 2: a month or maybe more.
Speaker 3: It'll definitely be a nice system reset. I mean that's
Speaker 3: always good to just you know, for three months or
Speaker 3: however long you decide to do it. Yeah, you've doing it,
Speaker 3: clean it out. And I have to tell you, and
Speaker 3: you were talking about this earlier, but I have quit
Speaker 3: sugar multiple times and the first two weeks are very difficult,
Speaker 3: and it's just because we're we don't understand how much
Speaker 3: sugar we are constantly taking in. But if you can
Speaker 3: make sure that you're still getting salt and you're still
Speaker 3: getting electrolytes and you're still getting certain things, that it'll
Speaker 3: make those withdrawals less bad, because they're pretty bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I bet I'm going to experience it just because
Speaker 2: of how much sugar is in whatever goddess dressing or
Speaker 2: the things I eat all the time. And I don't realize,
Speaker 2: you know how, I'm a bit of a gott it.
Speaker 2: It's got goddess are nothing for me. You can take
Speaker 2: that olive oil and vinegar and get to toss it
Speaker 2: in the trash. I'm a goddess boy.
Speaker 1: But I love those herbs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love herbs. I love it. But I'm yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm going to notice how much sugar I have been
Speaker 2: taking in. I don't know, this is a new thing.
Speaker 2: I got health insurance. I'm gonna do a diet thing,
Speaker 2: not going to drink.
Speaker 3: The good part of it is once you get past
Speaker 3: those two weeks, and this was the thing that really
Speaker 3: really blew my mind kind of every time. Once you
Speaker 3: get past the two weeks and you just like you
Speaker 3: just gut it out, you feel unbelievably great.
Speaker 1: It's not easy to get to that point.
Speaker 3: But then once you get to that point, that craving
Speaker 3: thing gets turned off, right, so it's out of your system.
Speaker 3: And then if you can just keep on and then
Speaker 3: that's the challenge is then you just keep on not
Speaker 3: having those things. You don't put it back into the system.
Speaker 3: You're fine, right, and you have tons of energy. You'll
Speaker 3: notice like your attitude might have a like an upswing
Speaker 3: or you're you know, if you have any kind of
Speaker 3: like depressive tendencies. They're gone, Yeah, okay, I'm excited.
Speaker 2: That's why I'm doing this because I and you probably
Speaker 2: did this before too, when like ten years ago, it
Speaker 2: was like a cult. It's that master Cleanse thing that
Speaker 2: was there. Yeah, it was like syrup and cayenne pepper
Speaker 2: and lemon water and I was bringing a bag of
Speaker 2: lemons with me everywhere like a weird little farmer and
Speaker 2: making it but trying to do that. I was still
Speaker 2: doing shows and I was drinking. But I did that
Speaker 2: for fifteen days, Like that was too long to do it.
Speaker 2: I remember my arms got all tiny and I had energy,
Speaker 2: but it was like manic. I felt like I was
Speaker 2: kind of going crazy, and I don't I think this
Speaker 2: will be the good version of that, Like I'm not
Speaker 2: going to be drinking syrup and kind I can't believe
Speaker 2: I even did that.
Speaker 1: That thing too, that was big.
Speaker 3: I remember I had a where people started doing that
Speaker 3: and then it was like, oh, you're not doing it.
Speaker 3: There was like a lot of pressure yeah, and kind
Speaker 3: of like you should do it, and why aren't you
Speaker 3: doing where It's just like sorry, I can't just drink
Speaker 3: that weird water all day long. Like that won't I
Speaker 3: won't do well on just weird water, but it is fun.
Speaker 3: Like I remember when I did. I think it was
Speaker 3: The Zone.
Speaker 1: The first time we did the Zone.
Speaker 3: So I was just basically eating like steak and almonds
Speaker 3: or like steak and broccoli or whatever, like just real basic.
Speaker 3: And after about a week, I remember Nate Larson, who
Speaker 3: I worked with at the time. We were both in
Speaker 3: the kitchen at work, and I was like, he was
Speaker 3: the writer's assistant and I was just like, hey, so
Speaker 3: we got to do it. And I was like kind
Speaker 3: of like just ticking off this list of stuff we
Speaker 3: had to take care of, and he goes, what's going on?
Speaker 1: And I go, oh, I'm on the Zone and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: that's why you're in go mode.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 3: The phrase always stuck in my head because I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm not like dragging my ass trying to like chug
Speaker 3: coffee so that I have energy and like clarity. All
Speaker 3: of a sudden, it's like it's there, and I'm like
Speaker 3: being kidnapped by my own energy. Like the energy is
Speaker 3: just going and I'm just kind of like, here we go.
Speaker 3: Here's what it be like if I had energy all
Speaker 3: the time. Yeah, nightmare.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's not like positive energy. It is just manic.
Speaker 2: What I remember just having, Yeah, talking mile a minute
Speaker 2: because I think that my brain was starving. If that's
Speaker 2: a thing you can do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it absolutely is.
Speaker 3: That's the If we're going to talk about dieting this much,
Speaker 3: we should absolutely be talking about the downside of dieting,
Speaker 3: which is A you are starving your brain, and your
Speaker 3: brain does shrink when you diet, and when you restrict
Speaker 3: calories and food, and b you fuck up your metabolism.
Speaker 3: And sometimes, like when I was doing that no sugarno
Speaker 3: flower off and on all the time, Yeah, I fucked
Speaker 3: my metabolism up so that when you stop again, you
Speaker 3: immediately gain weight and it bec comes way harder.
Speaker 2: To lose it. Yeah. I just know that this thing
Speaker 2: that I'm doing seems very similar to the diet I
Speaker 2: went on. Went back when I had full body pain
Speaker 2: and they just said, oh, you have arthritis and you'll
Speaker 2: have it forever. And then some friend of mine, their
Speaker 2: wife was like a dietitian, and she said, oh, just
Speaker 2: do the no gluten, no dairy, no sugar thing, and
Speaker 2: all my pain went away. And that was just eating
Speaker 2: getting organic veggies and meats and making soups and not
Speaker 2: having bread and sugar, and it turned my life around.
Speaker 2: So I think I'm kind of treating it like it's
Speaker 2: that I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Actually you should.
Speaker 3: I think it's there's so many things these days that
Speaker 3: really do Like the second I stopped eating gluten, which
Speaker 3: was it's about a month ago, it's a total game changer.
Speaker 3: I could tell the difference, like within three days. It
Speaker 3: was crazy how different I felt.
Speaker 2: You're doing that now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just because I got really sick one night,
Speaker 3: and that's I traced it back to like, oh, this
Speaker 3: is because I ate too much like bready things.
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't. Yes, great writer, I uh yeah, I
Speaker 2: feel like I didn't quite believe that's what was helping me.
Speaker 2: But sure enough, if you're in a situation where it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: we're ordering a pizza, and it was it's like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm not going to be a weirdo if that's what
Speaker 2: everyone's ordering. I'll have a slice of pizza. The next day.
Speaker 2: My arms it hurt like it was I was on
Speaker 2: purpose troubleshooting with Slowly make because they told me like,
Speaker 2: don't all of a sudden start eating normal, because, like
Speaker 2: you said, you'll all of a sudden have inflammation and stuff.
Speaker 2: I could feel it happening. It took like a full
Speaker 2: year before I became a sloppy little pig again.
Speaker 3: Well, but it's not like you're not a sloppy little pig.
Speaker 3: This situation of our the state of our and world
Speaker 3: right now and the way we mainline bad news, like
Speaker 3: you have to cope in some way, so there's lots
Speaker 3: of different ways to do it. You're very good about exercising,
Speaker 3: but you know, but you're actually sensitive. I think you're
Speaker 3: probably gluten sensitive, Like you might want to get tested
Speaker 3: for that. Yeah, you never have the grain part. It's
Speaker 3: an allergy, so you're just having an allergic reaction. And
Speaker 3: the good news is you can so many places do,
Speaker 3: Like almost every pizza place now has gluten free pizza.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And when I did this diet that was not
Speaker 2: you could maybe get gluten free bread, but it just
Speaker 2: fell apart like a dandelion when you like, they're way
Speaker 2: better at it now because this was like ten years
Speaker 2: ago when I had that full body oh yeah attack. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, there's a place in the valley and I actually
Speaker 3: sent my niece who has Celiacs. I center the postcard
Speaker 3: when they sent it to me when it opened. It's
Speaker 3: called bread Block and it's a bakery where every single
Speaker 3: thing is gluten free and they make sandwiches and they
Speaker 3: make desserts and they make just baguettes and all this stuff,
Speaker 3: and all of it is safe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because what I am bad about is making my
Speaker 2: own food. But because I live alone, who makes a
Speaker 2: whole meal? And then what am I in? The guy
Speaker 2: from the Last of Us, you know, just making my
Speaker 2: own meal and listening to classical music. But I the.
Speaker 1: First eating out of a can.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Oh you mean Nick Offerman's episode. Yeah, Nick making those
Speaker 3: beautiful meals?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I love that episode. Anyway, I yeah, I
Speaker 2: immediately when I was researching this diet or just the
Speaker 2: other day. This is my first day doing it. I'm
Speaker 2: getting ahead of myself. But I looked up restaurants that
Speaker 2: honor it, and fucking like cheesecake factories on there. But
Speaker 2: there's things you can order that are compliant with this thing.
Speaker 2: But it's so funny. It's like Olive Garden cheesecake factory
Speaker 2: places that I because I know, oh, I'm going to
Speaker 2: break down and want to go have someone hand me food.
Speaker 2: I'm bad at Yes, food preparation.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's hard, I mean.
Speaker 3: And also like it's there's an emotional component to food,
Speaker 3: and you can't give up food like you give up alcohol.
Speaker 3: So there's lots of things attached to it. And like
Speaker 3: you and I have talked about, like having moms that
Speaker 3: are bad cooks make eating like this reward that or
Speaker 3: like I get to have something, and it's like most
Speaker 3: people that don't have that relationship are just like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's lunch, it's not a big deal, and this isn't
Speaker 3: going to make your dreams come true. But that's not
Speaker 3: how it is for me, because like I would just
Speaker 3: be home alone after school being like, what can I
Speaker 3: do to make you know, this school day go away?
Speaker 3: What can I do to make Illigan's Island a little
Speaker 3: bit more delicious?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And I open my fridge and it's just an
Speaker 2: opened tub of tofu And I think that's when I'm like,
Speaker 2: I think the answer is going to my friend who
Speaker 2: lives down the street, and the schwans man drops off
Speaker 2: frozen burritos at his house, isn't what Oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah he had burrito delivery.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, they just threw it in his chimney and.
Speaker 1: Uh wait, what's a schwans Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's a mid I almost said Montana is
Speaker 2: not in the Midwest, but it's up there and it's
Speaker 2: real close to it. But yeah, it's a truck with
Speaker 2: a giant swan on the side, a refrigerated truck, and
Speaker 2: they drop off food that children can prepare in the
Speaker 2: last key situations microwavable. Yeah really yeah, yeah it was
Speaker 2: the swan. It was you know, ice cream and things
Speaker 2: that are that you put in a freezer. But my
Speaker 2: buddy Andy had all that stuff and I didn't have
Speaker 2: that stuff at my house, so I would yeah, I'd
Speaker 2: just go to a friend's house and they'd have cereal
Speaker 2: that why is there aluminum foil inside your cereal box?
Speaker 2: And it's like, oh, you're about to have your mind blown.
Speaker 2: A guy that grew up on muse Lei and and
Speaker 2: you know fruit and fiber.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all brand here, have your all brand.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 3: I would like corn pops, which used to be called
Speaker 3: in the seventies sugar corn pops. They kicked that sugar
Speaker 3: off there, but it's still it's still on the corn pops,
Speaker 3: but it's just off the front of the box.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That The only reason I remember that is there
Speaker 2: was a commercial where the Pops Bear was skateboarding and
Speaker 2: he was like in the forest and he did a
Speaker 2: three sixty flip and I'm like, okay, I bet our
Speaker 2: start eating that cereal apparently makes you figure out Trey Flips.
Speaker 1: Was his name? Pops that bit?
Speaker 2: I think it was Pops. I don't even remember if
Speaker 2: he's a bear. He could have been a toucan, but
Speaker 2: he's a great skateboarders.
Speaker 1: That's fruit lips.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think he was.
Speaker 1: I think he was a bear, yeah, because I think
Speaker 1: he was kind of a stoner.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think he of Yogi Bear?
Speaker 2: Am I just like I think you're thinking of smoking
Speaker 2: weed out of a high honey Bear. You're thinking of
Speaker 2: Brad Pitt's best character work, Honeybear stoner guy.
Speaker 1: Wait, I'm going to look it up, Sugar Pops Bear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have to, and if you put in skateboarding,
Speaker 2: you will find that I am not telling tails out
Speaker 2: of school Sugar.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's sugar smacks Bear. Wait, we might be thinking
Speaker 3: of is it thinking of this guy?
Speaker 2: Max is a frog? I think wait, yeah, he's always
Speaker 2: smacking his frog lips.
Speaker 1: What cereal?
Speaker 3: Did Sugar Bear represent? Posts, Sugar Post, Super Sugar Crisp. Oh,
Speaker 3: that was the the wheat puffs.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't. I didn't like that cereal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that it was ever made it
Speaker 2: into my house. That's you know, I'm not talking total
Speaker 2: sugar snack about my mom, because yes, she was not
Speaker 2: a passionate food preparer. But that's because unlike any other
Speaker 2: moms on my block, she was like a vegetarian, pieda person.
Speaker 2: And imagine how hard that is in small town Montana,
Speaker 2: there's like one grocery store that has carib chips or whatever.
Speaker 2: I understand why there wasn't like, hey, let me whip
Speaker 2: up a meal for my kids.
Speaker 1: It was hard enough, not a lot of options. Did
Speaker 1: you have to eat like a lot of egg plant? Yes,
Speaker 1: stuff like that? Ugh nightmare?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and man as it's slimy, all that stuff, eggplant, tofu,
Speaker 2: all that stuff that is a slippery, wet sponge. You
Speaker 2: got to really know what you're doing. I didn't have
Speaker 2: good tofu till the other week. Someone at stage I
Speaker 2: blew my mind. I'm like, I am craving after these
Speaker 2: pieces of tofu. I don't they like they had, they
Speaker 2: had varied texture in the middle. It was like firm.
Speaker 2: I don't know what they did. I was like bothering
Speaker 2: the staff, what do you do with this tofu? They're like,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not none of your business.
Speaker 2: And I buy it in bowl. I'd like a bucket
Speaker 2: of tofu. And they just ended up pushing me out.
Speaker 2: You don't even need to pay. Please leave.
Speaker 1: Wait, that's a vegetarian restaurant near you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, stage just like a vegan place, and it's the
Speaker 2: good kind of tofu, not the fucking you know. For
Speaker 2: a while they they were telling us it's bad because
Speaker 2: of certain GMO. Soy, I don't know. I don't want
Speaker 2: to get into that snows festival. But this was like
Speaker 2: really good. It was just last week that I had
Speaker 2: my first good dose of.
Speaker 3: Tofu back in the day. It just makes sense that
Speaker 3: there was there weren't a lot of options, and the
Speaker 3: options that were there were not great. Like I'll never
Speaker 3: forget getting taken to the movies by our family friend
Speaker 3: and they were hippies. They didn't have kids, so we
Speaker 3: would like sometimes they'd hang out with us to be like, yep,
Speaker 3: that's right, we don't want kids. And we went to
Speaker 3: the movies with them one time and I was like
Speaker 3: getting popcorn. Like we're going through the lobby and I'm like,
Speaker 3: not stopping at the okay, And so we get inside
Speaker 3: and Ellen pulls out remember those sesame sticks that's real,
Speaker 3: of course, and that's what she hands me as this
Speaker 3: is my movie candy. And I was like, why not
Speaker 3: just slap me in the face. I don't want this,
Speaker 3: and no one wants it. They don't we children don't
Speaker 3: want these. We don't want carab No, this is for
Speaker 3: adults pretending don't make children do it.
Speaker 1: It's not fair.
Speaker 2: I've eaten so many of those sweet I don't know
Speaker 2: what it honey and covered and sets me seeds. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like an accident that happened on a counter and
Speaker 2: someone accidentally put it in.
Speaker 1: Their mouth and then said this will do this, will
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had I ate a lot of those in
Speaker 2: my house. Yeah. Man, yeah, upset, No, But now I'm
Speaker 2: thankful for it. I think it's really cool. And this
Speaker 2: was when Peta wasn't like, you know, kind of going
Speaker 2: off the deep end. It seems a little this was
Speaker 2: like it was cool that my mom, like we had
Speaker 2: pictures of chickens. At one point, there was a I
Speaker 2: have vague memories of this, but there was an actual
Speaker 2: turkey or rooster in my backyard. I think it was
Speaker 2: like a fostering program there and there my mom put
Speaker 2: you know, money from her paycheck towards protecting these animals.
Speaker 2: At the time, I wasn't even paying attention or I
Speaker 2: thought it was weird. But now it's one of the
Speaker 2: coolest things that I remember doing that. It was, but anyway,
Speaker 2: I mean, the point is I was starving, man, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 3: It was one of the coolest things. A cooler thing
Speaker 3: would have been just a grilled cheese sandwich or something.
Speaker 1: You know, let's just let's get reasonable.
Speaker 2: I did. I do think we had cheese. It was
Speaker 2: more of like a vegetarian thing. So I'd eat cheese
Speaker 2: and go out and try and say how to the turkey,
Speaker 2: and he'd attack me. I think that's why I'm okay
Speaker 2: with eating turkeys. That turkey was so mean. He looked
Speaker 2: like a big dinosaur.
Speaker 3: They hate us.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying diets should be a vendetta, but man,
Speaker 2: I've had enough Turkey's wrong me that I have a nice,
Speaker 2: good Thanksgiving every year, and I'm sorry if you're out there.
Speaker 3: You should not be eating Thanksgiving turkey laughing and saying
Speaker 3: this is what you deserve. But you're not wrong if
Speaker 3: you do.
Speaker 2: That's yeah. But you know, I am confronted by eating
Speaker 2: the pigs because they're sweet and you know, just fast
Speaker 2: George Clooney, Yeah, and they're smart.
Speaker 1: They're smart as a seven year old child.
Speaker 2: Well. Also, if you take a dead pig and throw
Speaker 2: them in their little pig pen, they will eat they
Speaker 2: will become can't eat it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because they know how good pigs are to eat.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like a seven year old kid.
Speaker 3: I just wish it's like at least your mom was like, oh,
Speaker 3: we're a vegetarian family, or I'm doing a specific thing,
Speaker 3: or I care about animals. My parents were doing a
Speaker 3: very kind of a lazy like, oh, this is what's
Speaker 3: going on culturally here in the seventies, so we'll do
Speaker 3: a version of it, but not full so like we
Speaker 3: had the peanut butter that you'd to stir yourself with
Speaker 3: the oil, which is right, Adam, truly one of the
Speaker 3: grossest things. Yes, just first of all, it's very difficult
Speaker 3: to stir, so you're like an eight year old trying
Speaker 3: to make a peanut butter sandwich after school. You would
Speaker 3: get oil all over yourself and then once you ate it,
Speaker 3: you were just like thanks for nothing, because it was
Speaker 3: just like smashed up peanuts.
Speaker 2: It was there was no and then your mom's like,
Speaker 2: who bent the butter knife? It was the thick peanut butter. Mother.
Speaker 1: You bought it, mother, not I.
Speaker 3: Or we just would eat saltines and that to this day,
Speaker 3: I know it's a psychological connection because when I feel
Speaker 3: like especially stressed or don't know what to do, I
Speaker 3: begin to crave saltines, Like there's nothing better than just
Speaker 3: sitting down with a sleeve of saltines and eating a
Speaker 3: shit ton of them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree, And I've spent an entire winter
Speaker 2: where because the saltines were free in Bend, Oregon. When
Speaker 2: I snowboarded every day at Mount Bachelor, they had saltines
Speaker 2: that were like, well, we can get these away and
Speaker 2: every day that's way for lunch, and they're at free condiments.
Speaker 2: I would have textured vegetable proteins something my mother sent
Speaker 2: with me. It was a powder you add water and
Speaker 2: form it into patties. I'd literally put those in my
Speaker 2: pocket and then go up to the ski area. This
Speaker 2: is so bad, and make little sandwiches with the saltines
Speaker 2: and eat them right by the trash can. And that's
Speaker 2: all I needed. I would be up hiking and jumping
Speaker 2: and snowboarding all day. All I have, That's all I
Speaker 2: had that whole winter is some TVP and some free
Speaker 2: condiments and saltine sleeves.
Speaker 3: Shit, I mean that TVP or whatever you're saying it
Speaker 3: was TVP. It must have gotten a job done, though,
Speaker 3: because that fueled you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was up there all winter. I had By
Speaker 2: the end, I had an empty bag. And I don't
Speaker 2: think I ever complained about being hungry. I didn't have
Speaker 2: money to eat out.
Speaker 3: But yeah, my mom used to tell me stories of
Speaker 3: when she was in nursing school and she had no money.
Speaker 3: They used to go to diners and order a cup
Speaker 3: of coffee and a bowl of hot water and then
Speaker 3: put ketchup in the hot water and drink it like
Speaker 3: a tomato soup.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we were so poor. Yes, I come
Speaker 2: from very poor poor people, and this is going to
Speaker 2: gross you out, but I've already gone down this road.
Speaker 2: In the apartment I lived in that winter, there was
Speaker 2: a seven eleven around the corner, and I would go
Speaker 2: and want the employee there would take smoke breaks, and
Speaker 2: then an employee would come in and so she'd put
Speaker 2: a misty slam in the astray and I'd go run
Speaker 2: and take it, run back to my apartment and smoke
Speaker 2: her half smoked cigarette. What a I mean? And then
Speaker 2: you know, like I told you before, I'd go next
Speaker 2: door and bran and or pierced my neighbor friends that
Speaker 2: were taking their cough medicine. I think I was like,
Speaker 2: I was a fringe of society type kid.
Speaker 3: That's absolutely but shoplift. It sounds like you didn't shoplift.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've never I have never stolen anything. I stole
Speaker 2: one whistle that goes and my Dad's like, I didn't
Speaker 2: buy you that whistle, and we had to go back
Speaker 2: to the store and I returned the whistle, at which
Speaker 2: point I got in trouble for scaling it.
Speaker 3: I stole one time when I was little, I stole
Speaker 3: a Jolly Rancher single. So I think at the time
Speaker 3: they were three cents, no joke. Yeah, And I stole
Speaker 3: it because I was with I didn't have money on me,
Speaker 3: and we were with like we were staying at our
Speaker 3: neighbors for the weekend, and I just couldn't. We had
Speaker 3: to go get their mom something at our corner store,
Speaker 3: and I was like, I can't come here and not have.
Speaker 1: Candy, like it's what I get to have.
Speaker 2: So I just took one.
Speaker 1: And then I.
Speaker 3: Felt so guilty for like the full week that at
Speaker 3: the end of the week I had to confess to
Speaker 3: my mother and she's like, well, no, now we have
Speaker 3: to go back and you have to tell Jimmy just
Speaker 3: that you stole something. And it was horrifying because we
Speaker 3: would go to Ageism buy candy every goddamn day, and
Speaker 3: so they were the nicest people that owned the store.
Speaker 3: And then I'm like I walked in and I was
Speaker 3: six years old probably, and I walked in and then
Speaker 3: kind of looked around and I just walked back out
Speaker 3: and like, I can't do.
Speaker 1: I can't do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I can't tell them.
Speaker 3: But of course she'd already had the conversation with him,
Speaker 3: like they are they all knew that I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think my whistle return was a setup. Also,
Speaker 2: they knew I was coming. But I've always thought if
Speaker 2: you do take something like a whistle, you're gonna end
Speaker 2: up choking on it. My friends, Uh, that's true. The
Speaker 2: skate shop. One day, my sweet friend Zach that started
Speaker 2: the skate shop. I went with my friend and it
Speaker 2: was a friend that I wasn't super close with, and
Speaker 2: they it was open, they didn't lock it, and he
Speaker 2: grabbed a skateboard off the wall and I, you know,
Speaker 2: it was like fifth sixth grade or something. I didn't
Speaker 2: want to say anything, and I just convinced him that
Speaker 2: if he did skate that board, he was going to
Speaker 2: break his ankle. It would come with it a darkness,
Speaker 2: and he wouldn't You're going to break your ankle if
Speaker 2: you skate that. And I said it enough that we
Speaker 2: went back and he returned it and nothing else. He didn't. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's like sorry, I came in, I grabbed this, but
Speaker 2: here you go. And Zach didn't say anything, put it
Speaker 2: back on the wall. That was a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Any of my friends that heard that do not know
Speaker 2: about that story.
Speaker 3: That's also I like that you were morally centered, which
Speaker 3: probably is was from your mom.
Speaker 2: Right yeah, it seems like my dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're well, yeah, of course your dad.
Speaker 3: But but then also I think that idea is true.
Speaker 3: I think I've told the story at least ten times
Speaker 3: on this podcast. But my later in life stealing was
Speaker 3: I got this job at a coffee shop in my
Speaker 3: like I was nineteen. It was when i'd flunked out
Speaker 3: of college. Everything was a little dark, and I'd convinced
Speaker 3: myself like, oh, they barely pay me, you know, because
Speaker 3: I think it was like for seventy five an hour
Speaker 3: was the minimum wage or whatever, And so I took
Speaker 3: a twenty dollars bill. If I ever closed, I would
Speaker 3: take a twenty dollars bill and then I would buy
Speaker 3: beer with it. But I only did it two times.
Speaker 3: And then the guy that was the manager goes, and
Speaker 3: I think this is a setup. I think he just
Speaker 3: said this so I would stop doing it, because who
Speaker 3: else did it. He goes there was a father and
Speaker 3: son that cleaned the this cafe, and he said to me,
Speaker 3: he goes, we're short, and then til I think it's
Speaker 3: I think it's the custodian. I think he's stealing. And
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, I like wanted to throw up
Speaker 3: on the spot. Of course I stopped doing it. I
Speaker 3: didn't admit it though. I didn't do the truly brave
Speaker 3: thing and admit it.
Speaker 2: I just stopped doing Well, how what were you twenty
Speaker 2: two or something?
Speaker 1: Nineteen? Oh?
Speaker 2: See, then it's even more excusable. I was when I
Speaker 2: was when I was doing this nefaria, picking up cigarette
Speaker 2: butts and drinking forties and eating salting and sleeves, I
Speaker 2: was like, I was already at the age people have
Speaker 2: started careers like twenty four. Thank god, I turned my
Speaker 2: life around to be you did, productive member of society.
Speaker 2: I am today. I'm off crackers, I'm off the SIGs.
Speaker 1: I'm off crackers. I'm proud to say I've quit crackers.
Speaker 2: I don't hold wire hangers over a gas stove and
Speaker 2: burned designs on a stranger's back.
Speaker 1: Was that something you did? Yeah?
Speaker 2: It was like he wanted like a cross of some kind.
Speaker 1: As a wound, as a brand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. It probably doesn't look good today. Well
Speaker 2: he took it like a champ, and he wanted me
Speaker 2: to do it, and I was like sure, And then
Speaker 2: it became the this is such a weird confession, but yes,
Speaker 2: I knowingly and purposefully burnt a friend's back.
Speaker 1: But well for his request.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I could have said no, you know, there
Speaker 2: was really no peers around that were laying down heavy pressure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, where was the Chris phr you'll to his friend
Speaker 3: into returning his skateboard.
Speaker 2: He was gone, yeah, yeah, I'm like, only good things
Speaker 2: can come out of this. Now, this is gonna hurt
Speaker 2: by down on this length of leather. I always kept
Speaker 2: one in my pocket for this fact. It was so
Speaker 2: but yes, he wanted me to want me to do it.
Speaker 2: It was a weird time. It's a weird time.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's always a weird time. I used to
Speaker 3: make my roommate Dave cut my hair. Like I would
Speaker 3: get drunk and be like, you had to give me
Speaker 3: a bob, and he'd be like, I don't know how
Speaker 3: to cut hair. Your hair's too thick, and I'd be like,
Speaker 3: just do it, and then I would have like a
Speaker 3: super misshapen but cute nineties bob.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as long as you weren't looking straight at you know,
Speaker 2: from either side, it would look good.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 3: I always just kept my head at a slight tilt,
Speaker 3: like huh, I just I look like hunt all the time, Karen,
Speaker 3: do you have a question.
Speaker 1: Nope, it's just my hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's just uneven haircut. I'm not interested in
Speaker 2: what you're saying. I'm not deep in thought.
Speaker 3: Also, I would cut my own bangs.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: That was a that's classically what you're not supposed.
Speaker 3: To do, you cannot do it. And in the nineties
Speaker 3: baby bangs became very popular.
Speaker 1: But the delineating factor there was.
Speaker 3: You had to be like basically a model to pull
Speaker 3: off baby bangs because they were like, you know, if
Speaker 3: your normal banks sit directly above your eyebrows, baby banks,
Speaker 3: it was like take those up an inch, so you
Speaker 3: literally just look like a mental patient.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: And plus I have always had a big round face,
Speaker 3: which also is like baby banks.
Speaker 1: Really that ain't it.
Speaker 3: So every time like that, after I would do it
Speaker 3: and I'd be like tiny banks, everybody I'm hip, and
Speaker 3: people would be like whoa.
Speaker 1: Like I've had people like recoil after I cut my
Speaker 1: own bank.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's like the very unsuccessful times I shaved
Speaker 2: off my eyebrows. One they don't come that's you're looking
Speaker 2: at three months before they come back, and you look
Speaker 2: like an extra from Children of the corn if you
Speaker 2: if you do your bangs, you mess with your eyebrows,
Speaker 2: anything that you do at home without having any knowledge,
Speaker 2: you will look like a children of the corn.
Speaker 3: You will you will be from the cornfields. Wait, why
Speaker 3: would you shave your eyebrows off?
Speaker 2: Oh that was just to be silly. Oh oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that was you know, at a time dying hair, and
Speaker 2: you know, yeah it was a poor choice. It was
Speaker 2: knowingly I'm going to do something dumb and make my
Speaker 2: friends laugh, shave off the eyebrows. Also, I didn't have
Speaker 2: I always had kind of a blonde, wispy trump combover eyebrows,
Speaker 2: so no one really missed them. They didn't turn into
Speaker 2: the predominant uh, Colin Ferrell's you see up here today
Speaker 2: there's Peter Gallagher. I'm I mustaches, but I yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're huge. Yeah, I can't imagine, you know.
Speaker 2: Any I'm feeling by simply looking above my eyeballs.
Speaker 3: Wait, now that we're speaking of this, can we just
Speaker 3: dip into a Colin Farrell moment really quick?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: Yes, First of all, did we talk about and did
Speaker 3: you watch Banshee's of in a Shares?
Speaker 2: Yes, and my phone knows I watched it, and I'm
Speaker 2: getting a lot of interviews with him and that other
Speaker 2: actor who's name I don't know, like them having their
Speaker 2: their friendship. I'm like, yeah, Gleason, their their real life friendship.
Speaker 2: Why is friends with him? He had told sweet stories
Speaker 2: about how he, you know, is a good friend. They
Speaker 2: are like the sweetest friend couple.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: There's also a really good interview with him and Jamie
Speaker 3: Lee Curtis. She's interviewing Colin Farrell for like some magazine
Speaker 3: or some whatever, and it's a very like clearly Jamie
Speaker 3: Lee Curtis loves Colin Ferrell, and so there's a lot
Speaker 3: of kind of like flirty tension, which of course he's
Speaker 3: very good at because clearly that's all he does all day,
Speaker 3: every day, all of his life. I had a dream
Speaker 3: about I had a dream Colin Ferrell was following me
Speaker 3: around and wouldn't leave me alone, and he was like
Speaker 3: in the dream, I knew it was him, but he
Speaker 3: was like, wherever we were, we were supposed to be
Speaker 3: doing something else. Because all my dreams are always like
Speaker 3: task oriented. It's like, right now we're at this bus station,
Speaker 3: we're supposed to get on this bus, So now you
Speaker 3: have to find a ticket, and there's people from high
Speaker 3: school in that line, so you might want to avoid them,
Speaker 3: and blah blah. It's always that kind of you know,
Speaker 3: weird dumb tasks. And at this wherever whatever that was,
Speaker 3: I think we're in a hotel lobby and he showed
Speaker 3: up and was like, Karen, I have.
Speaker 2: To talk to you.
Speaker 3: And it was this thing where it was like I
Speaker 3: knew it was him, but it wasn't him, because I
Speaker 3: was like, all right, we'll talk about that later, Like
Speaker 3: I was trying to get away from him, and it
Speaker 3: was so hilarious. But then when I woke up, I
Speaker 3: was like, God, he was into me. It was like
Speaker 3: a real it was like a fake kind of a
Speaker 3: confidence dream.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you weren't being yourself in that, because I know
Speaker 2: you have as big a crush on him as I do.
Speaker 2: Jamie Lee Curnis.
Speaker 3: Yes, I love him, but it wasn't He didn't have
Speaker 3: the same like celebrity energy that he had the day
Speaker 3: that I saw him at the Arc Light, when he
Speaker 3: was wearing a girl's headband in weird eyeglasses, where you
Speaker 3: like you could I felt him coming from one hundred
Speaker 3: yards away. Because he is a true and legit celebrity
Speaker 3: in this dream. He was kind of like someone I
Speaker 3: already knew that was already bugging me. So it's just
Speaker 3: kind of like, Okay, that's enough, I have to get
Speaker 3: a bus ticket.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: It was like one of those kinds of things. And
Speaker 3: when I woke up, I was like, God, he loved me.
Speaker 1: Was great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm not going to retell any of my
Speaker 2: American Outlaws, Scorpions, sting Star. I'm not going to tell
Speaker 2: any of that, but it is my only time seeing
Speaker 2: him on a day to day basis. But I was
Speaker 2: an extra. I was never in any of the buildings.
Speaker 2: I'm just in the background doing mundane task in the heat.
Speaker 2: So I didn't realize I knew that, you know, like
Speaker 2: Timothy Dalton and Kathy Bates were the big actors in
Speaker 2: the movie. But he was just a friendly guy with
Speaker 2: an Irish accent. I didn't know it was his. He
Speaker 2: was the lead of this admittedly and not good film,
Speaker 2: but I was famous yet no, and he was so nice.
Speaker 2: He would say hi all the time. He was the
Speaker 2: one that said, hey, if if they ever say we
Speaker 2: need someone to go up and speak a line, even
Speaker 2: if it's not recorded, you get a bump in your
Speaker 2: money that day, like he just unsolicited. Because I was
Speaker 2: standing there, I'm like, thanks, friendly, handsome guy. And I
Speaker 2: didn't I didn't know he was famous. He wasn't acting famous.
Speaker 2: Everyone was like happy to see him. He was like
Speaker 2: hugging the whole staff every time you saw him. I
Speaker 2: was like that guy, I like a lot. And then
Speaker 2: he became a movie star, and I think I had
Speaker 2: something to do with that.
Speaker 1: I think you.
Speaker 3: I think your energy that you gave him and that
Speaker 3: you took from him propelled him to the top. But
Speaker 3: you know what, I think that's You've told me that
Speaker 3: story many times, but I but I'm I'm only saying
Speaker 3: I love hearing it because I always focus on the
Speaker 3: scorpion in your mind.
Speaker 2: No, I I don't even really bring up.
Speaker 1: But Chris did get a scorpion of his boot.
Speaker 3: If you're if this is the first episode of this
Speaker 3: podcast you've ever listened to, please go back to episode
Speaker 3: one because we always talking.
Speaker 2: About that shit and it wasn't even my boot. It bypassed.
Speaker 2: The boot went up the pant leg and got me
Speaker 2: on the knee. It was heading towards my janitals. I
Speaker 2: don't know what it's it's an ultimate plan was but
Speaker 2: it's very painful. I mean it's yeah, episode too, twelve
Speaker 2: thirty three, forty to one and six. I've told all
Speaker 2: the parts about it being nice on set and friendly
Speaker 2: to everyone. Everyone loved him.
Speaker 1: You have told those things.
Speaker 3: It just didn't sink in. And maybe it was just
Speaker 3: like this scorpion focus. I was just like, I got
Speaker 3: back the scorpion. But I was ripping myself off in
Speaker 3: that because if you told, if you heard a story
Speaker 3: that Colin Ferrell is kind of a douchebag, you'd be like, well, yeah,
Speaker 3: because he's a super hot, famous guy that's been famous
Speaker 3: since he was eighteen or something like. That's part for
Speaker 3: the course that just like most people don't handle fame well.
Speaker 3: And it's almost like, wait, this is boots on the ground,
Speaker 3: proof that our boy Colin Ferrell has been the real
Speaker 3: deal since day one and been actively trying to in
Speaker 3: the job, trying to be a cool person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was super sweet. He was wearing boots too.
Speaker 2: And there was a water tower at the end, so
Speaker 2: they built this. I've talked about that. I'm so sorry
Speaker 2: this was so many years ago, but it was the
Speaker 2: water tower part and there were they they knocked it.
Speaker 2: They destroyed this whole town like it was a whole
Speaker 2: city that they built. And in the end they burnt
Speaker 2: it down rather than shooting a better Western there. But
Speaker 2: the first thing they did is knock down this water tower,
Speaker 2: and it burst everywhere and water rushed down the road.
Speaker 2: I've vidly remember that I have this I have this
Speaker 2: thing for water towers.
Speaker 1: What is the name of that movie?
Speaker 2: It is called American Outlaws. I would have to watch
Speaker 2: it with you to pause and see that blurry guy
Speaker 2: in the background. Oh see they cut right before I
Speaker 2: pull my pants down screaming.
Speaker 1: I would, oh, there's an American Outlaws grill?
Speaker 2: What in honor of the movie?
Speaker 3: I don't hold on a second, because then that when
Speaker 3: I just Google searched it. Wait, that's Sugar Sugar smacks,
Speaker 3: bear hold on American Outlaws there.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's about the same group as Young Guns.
Speaker 2: It was like a low budget Young Guns.
Speaker 3: Here's the first thing that actually comes up for this movie,
Speaker 3: because the picture is up there for the two thousand
Speaker 3: and one film. But sure, the first we might as
Speaker 3: well mention that the American Outlaws is a nonprofit group
Speaker 3: dedicated to organized support for the men's, women's and youth
Speaker 3: US soccer teams.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I wonder why they call themselves outlaws when
Speaker 2: they're doing something that is not only legal but helpful
Speaker 2: for the children.
Speaker 1: Because it's because they kick. It's too much kicking.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're only outlaws if they use their hands, if
Speaker 2: if I'm correct about the rules of soccer.
Speaker 3: Also, wait, there's a going down further. They're an unofficial
Speaker 3: supporters group for the United States men's national soccer team
Speaker 3: and the women's and have been described.
Speaker 1: As a raucous group of US supporters by ESPN.
Speaker 3: So I thought I was doing a really nice service
Speaker 3: for it's a nonprofit group.
Speaker 1: But they're just fans.
Speaker 2: And they and they have their own grill.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, where is the girl?
Speaker 3: Maybe I just misread something because now it's all this movie.
Speaker 3: Oh Scott conn was the co star. Yeah, we've talked
Speaker 3: about him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the guy I wanted to, you know, talk
Speaker 2: about old times. And he thought I was a real weirdo.
Speaker 2: He didn't act like calin Ferrell at all. He's like
Speaker 2: hit the bricks.
Speaker 3: Did I just like hallucinate that I'm scrolling a lot
Speaker 3: and nothing like that is coming up.
Speaker 2: Well, we should go sit down. When I'm done with
Speaker 2: my grueling diet, go to the American Outlaws grill and
Speaker 2: start our calin Ferrell specific side podcast.
Speaker 3: Just to tell you, at the top of every podcast
Speaker 3: you tell that story of how he helped you try
Speaker 3: to get a five and under.
Speaker 2: You go in with your solid eyebrow material. Yep, I
Speaker 2: think we got a whole season.
Speaker 3: I think it's easy to This would be easy and fun,
Speaker 3: and then we can talk about it's his eyebrows, your eyebrows.
Speaker 3: Of course, I have plenty of stories of fucking up
Speaker 3: my own eyebrows. I mean this is people love shit
Speaker 3: like this.
Speaker 2: They love it. They're loving this right now.
Speaker 1: What we're doing this a second, it's perfect podcast.
Speaker 2: You're going to get so many messages about this being
Speaker 2: our best episode yet. It's going to blow your bangs back.
Speaker 1: They're going to go baby bang again, and I won't
Speaker 1: be able to hand.
Speaker 2: I've been money to ask a bit. You've said baby
Speaker 2: bangs a lot. Was there a doll where you could
Speaker 2: cut the doll's hair and it would grow back, you know,
Speaker 2: any bangs? Yes, wait and eventually so I imagine the
Speaker 2: doll itself was filled with hair and it would just
Speaker 2: you pull it out and then cut it and once
Speaker 2: the doll runs out of hair, you throw it away.
Speaker 1: There was a doll.
Speaker 3: I will say this without looking because I started to
Speaker 3: look it up. And I will tell you this that
Speaker 3: I remember, like the tactile experience, there was a doll
Speaker 3: in the seventies where you could make her ponytail long
Speaker 3: and I don't know how the hair went back in,
Speaker 3: but I remember.
Speaker 1: Pulled the hair out abusively give.
Speaker 3: A longer, longer, longer ponytail, and it was like that.
Speaker 3: You could hear the clicking in the doll's head of
Speaker 3: the hair coming out and you could make give her
Speaker 3: shorter long hair.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but doll if from tilting them back and
Speaker 2: the eyes closed. It starts with that my fear of dolls.
Speaker 2: And this has nothing to do with Chucky or Megan,
Speaker 2: but I'm so scared of my sister and I in
Speaker 2: our house. I think we finally buried it. There was
Speaker 2: a doll that would laugh and here's how the laugh
Speaker 2: went as that's exactly out went Lisa. If you're listening,
Speaker 2: let me know if I got the song wrong. But
Speaker 2: it was horrifying. A horrifying, laughing doll that I thought
Speaker 2: was possessed. I and my sister hated it too, and
Speaker 2: it was her doll. They just did too many creepy
Speaker 2: things with dolls, okay.
Speaker 3: And I will hear it now and follow up with
Speaker 3: this was a doll I got for Christmas one year,
Speaker 3: and it was called like Baby Crawl Away or something.
Speaker 3: And this was a baby on all fours with and
Speaker 3: all of its joints were kind of like mechanized, and
Speaker 3: if you turned it on, it was like a battery
Speaker 3: thing and then it could crawl and it would like
Speaker 3: crawl around and I don't know, you're supposed to fucking
Speaker 3: follow it or like make sure it didn't fall into
Speaker 3: a bathtub or something. But and you couldn't, like if
Speaker 3: you held the doll like a like a kid would
Speaker 3: hold a doll, it hurt because it was so hard
Speaker 3: plastic mechanized. It was like not made for actual doll use.
Speaker 3: And I remember I was probably six. Every I feel
Speaker 3: like every memory, I think I'm six years old. But
Speaker 3: I was in bed and it was the middle of
Speaker 3: the night. I was asleep, and that fucking doll turned
Speaker 3: on and it it crawled, so it was like because
Speaker 3: like huge mechanization inside the doll and it said stuff
Speaker 3: while it was crawling, and it was one of the
Speaker 3: scariest Like I had to wake up, calm myself down,
Speaker 3: turn the doll off, and then like be like, it's
Speaker 3: just a doll, You're fine, and like basically not. I
Speaker 3: couldn't hold the doll for comfort. I just had to
Speaker 3: be like, turn away from the doll and be like,
Speaker 3: it's fine. It was just a it just turned on accidentally.
Speaker 3: It's one of the scariest things that ever happened to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's horrifying. That's straight out of Poulter. Guys. At
Speaker 2: that point when we were horrified by these dolls, there
Speaker 2: were there was yet to be any doll based other
Speaker 2: than your the Trinid Trilogy of Terror or whatever that
Speaker 2: was more of a voodoo sculpture. But yeah, that dolls
Speaker 2: are horrifying baby dolls and them dolls and then kick
Speaker 2: it all of a sudden, the battery kicks in in
Speaker 2: the middle of the night.
Speaker 3: And you think you want it, and the only reason
Speaker 3: you actually want it is because it's the only thing
Speaker 3: there's a commercial for on your like Saturday Morning cartoons.
Speaker 1: It would be like that would be the doll.
Speaker 3: So there's one doll that you feed, and then there's
Speaker 3: you know, your sister's.
Speaker 1: Doll was laughing or whatever? Baby alive? Was it? Baby alive?
Speaker 2: God, I think that's baby crawl away, Baby alive. Who names? Well,
Speaker 2: it's a baby, and we want it to be a lot.
Speaker 2: Baby alive. Let's not think about it anymore. Put it
Speaker 2: on the shelves.
Speaker 1: That's a good name for a girl. Baby alive.
Speaker 2: Make sure that it's rigid and you can pinch your
Speaker 2: skin and its joints when it crawls and your.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the kind of thing where it was
Speaker 3: like the first night of going to bed with your
Speaker 3: new doll and you're just like, well, you're horrible to touch.
Speaker 1: So that's bad for a doll. We're starting bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't want to sound like a bad mother,
Speaker 2: but my baby is smoking. The engine has shorted out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there is. I played with a lot of dolls. You know.
Speaker 2: My sister was older, and that's where the toys in
Speaker 2: the basement. She included me. I'm you know, I've been
Speaker 2: open about my not only dollhouse construction, but actual I
Speaker 2: don't know if I've told you, but I did play
Speaker 2: a lot with the dolls.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you had to if little brothers that Uh,
Speaker 3: that's the burden and or freedom of a little brother
Speaker 3: is that you you have to do girls stuff you're
Speaker 3: forced to be aware of.
Speaker 1: I lost it lifestyle.
Speaker 2: I'm so glad. Yeah, she included me. I did throw
Speaker 2: them down the stairs and do boy things, I guess,
Speaker 2: but you.
Speaker 3: Couldn't help it. Let me just let me just show
Speaker 3: you really quick. When I looked up the first doll
Speaker 3: we were talking about, which is can you was there
Speaker 3: a doll that you could cut its hair?
Speaker 2: Yes, I know there had to be.
Speaker 3: Well, the first thing that came up was mannequin head hair.
Speaker 3: But this is this was this is to train hairdressers.
Speaker 3: But look at how hilarious those pictures are.
Speaker 2: Holy shit.
Speaker 1: Head hair.
Speaker 2: It's to you know, safely train hairdressers to have horrid nightmares.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here, here, here, do what you can with this man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like a month where it's a right there.
Speaker 1: Also, as a hairdresser, you have to cut men's beards.
Speaker 2: Back in the day. I mean I never ask for it,
Speaker 2: but I usually get. The only place I grow a
Speaker 2: beard is the back of my neck. There's an unsolicited
Speaker 2: you know, they just yet that looks like a police
Speaker 2: sketch and it's supposed to prepare you for a career.
Speaker 3: It also kind of looks like a Christmas wreath at
Speaker 3: the same time.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't believe our best episode ever is coming
Speaker 2: to a close.
Speaker 3: I know that was really we gave it our all

Speaker 2: I made some people laugh, and I immediately started doing
Speaker 2: stand up. Thank you American Outlaws of the film. I'm
Speaker 2: sorry I used the wrong out house, which was meant

Speaker 2: playing lassoing or practicing twirling the gun around their finger,
Speaker 2: and always shirtless, and we'd be we'd be driven with
Speaker 2: there was like a truck, a flatbed truck, all the
Speaker 2: extras that get locked in there. There was a gate
Speaker 2: around it. It was a cattle truck, I mean, all
Speaker 2: the extras, and we had to drive by the stars
Speaker 2: and they would just be shirtless and kind of wave
Speaker 2: and judge us from a distance. God, it was humiliating.
