Speaker 2: Ride with Karen and Chris? Welcome today? You need to ride.
Speaker 1: This is Chris Fairbanks and this is Karena.
Speaker 5: We have uh we decided the opening topic today, as
Speaker 5: Karen stated, would be based on the universal consciousness of
Speaker 5: what has fed us.
Speaker 6: And you know that makes me nervous. I like to
Speaker 6: come with a starter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just let it seeing.
Speaker 4: What happens.
Speaker 6: Like you're in Vegas Vegas style.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just gamble and lose for mortgage, just to see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what's that feeling?
Speaker 1: By Have you ever gone through something like that before?
Speaker 5: If I left it up to the universe, I would
Speaker 5: never and I don't gamble. So it turns out I
Speaker 5: do leap it up to the universe.
Speaker 1: I don't really enjoy gambling, like I've done it, and
Speaker 1: I've done it very This car it does that where
Speaker 1: I'm like so far away and it's beeping or it
Speaker 1: doesn't beep at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like a tattletale.
Speaker 5: That beep is a kid raising his hand. Yeah, every
Speaker 5: question asked like a teacher is ignoring them.
Speaker 6: Anyone but Theodore.
Speaker 1: Theodore, I saw the break lights. It's fine.
Speaker 5: There was a kid in my school who would His
Speaker 5: name was Danny. I'm saying his name because I'm about
Speaker 5: to praise him. He was a classic nerd. Wait a minute,
Speaker 5: sounds like I'm not, but like from a movie tape
Speaker 5: on the glasses bowl cut knew every question and would sneeze.
Speaker 5: He expressed himself through loud sneezing and it would startle everyone.
Speaker 5: So on paper, it sounds bad, but I look back
Speaker 5: on that guy, and he knew who he was, and
Speaker 5: he did not adjust anything, and he knew every question,
Speaker 5: and he would raise his hand and make us all
Speaker 5: look dumb, and so people. No one bullied him. I
Speaker 5: went to a bully freeze at my school was in
Speaker 5: a bully free zone.
Speaker 1: Oh, how fortuitous for your children?
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, yes, God, I miss them, Ah, the kids
Speaker 6: I had back then.
Speaker 1: And I went to say you children, but for some
Speaker 1: reason I just said a different words.
Speaker 6: I thought about being a father in high school. But
Speaker 6: thank god, it was just a phase.
Speaker 1: I mean, you didn't want to take the easy way out.
Speaker 5: No, I just wanted to utilize the zone we were in.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think about Danny all the time.
Speaker 4: So sorry.
Speaker 1: Did you actually think there was anything positive about the
Speaker 1: story you just told about him?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 5: No, you know, i'd start with a bummer. By the way, update,
Speaker 5: that cat got a opted, it did live. I found
Speaker 5: the people and I asked about the cat. The cat
Speaker 5: is now in a home. It was indeed hit by
Speaker 5: a car and has recovered little broken bones, a little cast.
Speaker 5: Isn't that great?
Speaker 4: It is great.
Speaker 2: See it's a slow burn if you were, if you
Speaker 2: were on.
Speaker 6: A sad little cliffhanger there because of my story what
Speaker 6: two episodes ago?
Speaker 1: The cat is a month long cat sorrow cliffhanger. It's over.
Speaker 6: The cat now wears a little top hat and is.
Speaker 2: In a giant mansion. Yay, so many kids.
Speaker 4: So many kids for that cat.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you yes, No, I just he Danny raising
Speaker 6: his hands the equivalent of your car tattle tangling on every.
Speaker 1: No, I got it because I love I'm saying we
Speaker 1: should probably edit Danny's.
Speaker 4: Full name out.
Speaker 5: I might have the name wrong, well slightly. I'm just
Speaker 5: such a good actor.
Speaker 4: Oh they're just kind of you were you?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, and I'm now I think that was his name.
Speaker 2: Sure we can bleep it.
Speaker 1: Well, just what's the what's the value of adult? I
Speaker 1: loved that guy, and then you tell that story which
Speaker 1: was mostly negative.
Speaker 6: Karen, I don't know that. I'm not trying to start
Speaker 6: no static with you, but it's.
Speaker 5: Starting a little bit of a pot calling the kettle
Speaker 5: black situation because you say everyone's last name.
Speaker 7: I always I do.
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure I keep that part in mind. Right,
Speaker 1: if this first name, last name was going to hear this,
Speaker 1: would they be on board or would they be bumming out?
Speaker 5: You know, there's a chance he listens to our podcast
Speaker 5: at his station at the jet propulsion Laboratory.
Speaker 2: He was very smart. See I'm who doesn't want hey
Speaker 2: that Danny gay Man?
Speaker 5: Was he smart? But he sneezed loud. But yes, he
Speaker 5: was a bit of a tattletale As.
Speaker 1: Far as tattletale nerd, which to me seems overall negative.
Speaker 2: Nerds are cool now.
Speaker 7: This is in the eighties.
Speaker 6: I don't understand the try Lambs would be the most
Speaker 6: popular fraternity Nowadays.
Speaker 4: You can just do first names that are also fictional.
Speaker 5: You know, I changed his name from Daniel to Danny.
Speaker 1: That wasn't you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, uh yeah, just bleep it out. We'll pretend his
Speaker 5: name was Danny fox Kid.
Speaker 2: But he yuh.
Speaker 6: It's it's like these cars. We know they don't have
Speaker 6: the answer when it comes to driving.
Speaker 4: True, it can't drive for.
Speaker 5: Me, and we should only appreciate that the car says, hey,
Speaker 5: someone's slamming on the brakes in front of you.
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, yeah, okay, it wasn't actually looking so
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't have to Tattletale was such I'm really
Speaker 5: I always have been on the fence with Tattletales.
Speaker 1: I genuinely feel a ja gan'take sense of relief hearing
Speaker 1: that about the cat.
Speaker 2: I need to say that good.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm very happy.
Speaker 5: I recognized the woman at Lasan's that was the married
Speaker 5: couple that actually did the work.
Speaker 2: I just kind of hung out for a while.
Speaker 1: You were you were the most traumatized person in the
Speaker 1: whole scenario. You were the discoverer, right, and I called attention.
Speaker 1: I had a group.
Speaker 6: I had a group of girls scout cookie selling moms
Speaker 6: and children.
Speaker 1: You pulled the children.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was kind of holding cord.
Speaker 5: I was saying what I knew about the cat, what
Speaker 5: I thought, diagnosis, and you just.
Speaker 1: Speak loudly over the little girls weeping and yes, moaning.
Speaker 5: I was also saying, reassure, I'm pretty good with people.
Speaker 5: It's I did. I think I did do well that day.
Speaker 5: It's it's my brain, the powers I have at night.
Speaker 5: And I don't know if you know about my powers back.
Speaker 4: I don't think.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm very in tune with the.
Speaker 2: I don't know I.
Speaker 1: Was supposed to take that exit. I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm sorry. It's because of my drivel.
Speaker 5: The other night I watched I tried to watch the
Speaker 5: yell Fest that is the new Curb Your Enthusiasm, and
Speaker 5: there's an episode where they're golfing, you know how I
Speaker 5: like golf comedy, you do, and Richard Lewis was in it,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, oh, that's I'm that's too bad that
Speaker 5: he passed away.
Speaker 2: This was two days.
Speaker 1: Ago, very sad. Richard is one of the best comments.
Speaker 6: He passed away, Like last night I was wrong. I
Speaker 6: didn't realize I was wrong. Then today I'm like, oh,
Speaker 6: is this the anniversary?
Speaker 2: And no, it was. I killed him with my brain, Karen.
Speaker 1: I just saw it on social media. I just saw
Speaker 1: people posting his picture and saying very sad things about him,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh, he died. So I
Speaker 1: didn't know right this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this was a few days ago and the death
Speaker 5: happened in the land twenty four hours. It just made
Speaker 5: me feel weird and not not good that I that,
Speaker 5: I obviously.
Speaker 1: Cause that it's a very narcissistic point of view there,
Speaker 1: it is. I would step back from.
Speaker 6: That, right, No, I'm dipping my toe into narcissism.
Speaker 1: Right, No, No, it doesn't suit.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I my whole life, I've been uh, look
Speaker 6: at that low hubbah. Someone needs to skate that h
Speaker 6: What are you talking about? It's the thing on the
Speaker 6: stairs you could jump on a zoop. Yeah, but it's
Speaker 6: got some stoppers, some classic skate stoppers.
Speaker 1: To make it so that people can't skate on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's a whole business.
Speaker 5: It's they make you know, for fancy cities have little
Speaker 5: brass starfish that kind of drape over an edge or
Speaker 5: you know, it keeps kids from jumping on ledges and
Speaker 5: grinding and sliding.
Speaker 1: You should write Can I pitch you an idea?
Speaker 2: Right now? Yes?
Speaker 1: You should write a movie about the comp any skate
Speaker 1: Stoppers that makes things that stop skaters from skating. And
Speaker 1: they're super evil. It's like super over the top, right right,
Speaker 1: it's underground. The headquarters is underground, right, yeah, and then.
Speaker 5: It's they make them out of nefariously sourced metals, yes.
Speaker 1: And plastic from the Great Plastic Patch the Pacific Path.
Speaker 2: Yes, where they also pumpkins.
Speaker 1: That would be recycling anyway. Right, this is we're sitballing
Speaker 1: right right, and yeah, but then some skate heroes come
Speaker 1: and fight this company and end up blowing up their headquarters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: freeing all the skaters.
Speaker 6: Underestimated skateboarders because they're like, oh, they didn't go to school,
Speaker 6: you know, right? Did you know they became lawyers online
Speaker 6: during COVID.
Speaker 1: This is have you ever seen the accidentees guy? He's
Speaker 1: a skateboarder.
Speaker 7: Yep.
Speaker 6: I could tell by his big bushy mustache and polyester SuDS.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, that's a stop.
Speaker 6: Okay, the car should have told us, thank you for Seriously,
Speaker 6: where are you on that one?
Speaker 1: Tattletail has nothing to say?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 2: I thought you knew that one.
Speaker 1: Oh, I guess you don't read the street.
Speaker 2: You know they skate stoppers?
Speaker 1: Yes, you can see the franchise. Now.
Speaker 5: It's so funny because this is something we kind of
Speaker 5: jokingly unless you're totally serious. It's not a bad idea.
Speaker 1: I'm never I'm never one hundred percent joking about anything
Speaker 1: really me either.
Speaker 6: Until I started trying out narcissism. Now I'm one hundred
Speaker 6: percent with everything.
Speaker 5: I It is the kind of thing where I'd like,
Speaker 5: if I end up in a meeting, I'll forget all
Speaker 5: these ideas and then all of a sudden, go, oh,
Speaker 5: skate stoppers.
Speaker 4: Yeah do it?
Speaker 2: It's called uh, skate stoppers. It's Oh, I like that title.
Speaker 2: What's it about? And then I started looking at things
Speaker 2: in the room.
Speaker 6: Whatever is on the corkboard, reading this, someone's ballpoint pen
Speaker 6: and they've green light it.
Speaker 1: It's a game called the Pictures of Water, that kind
Speaker 1: of thing, right.
Speaker 7: What was that noise?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: No, that was me.
Speaker 6: Oh, I just remember last night I swallowed a balloon.
Speaker 4: I honestly thought on Ali's had as.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I apparently I do.
Speaker 1: Yes, But you said, what was that noise?
Speaker 4: Literally like you had nothing? You were asking the question.
Speaker 6: I was asking my own throat with my own voicebox.
Speaker 4: What are you doing?
Speaker 7: Gie? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: From six inches away from this question, I.
Speaker 1: Think that this idea because it is hatched on this podcast.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have thought of it if you weren't talking
Speaker 1: about it. Right, So we have just poor man's copy
Speaker 1: written it as our co joint idea. Right, So, wherever,
Speaker 1: whatever room we get in, if skate stoppers is the answer,
Speaker 1: we're going to give that answer.
Speaker 5: We have had a lot of million dollar ideas in
Speaker 5: the medical field inventions. I'm mostly speaking for myself.
Speaker 6: Oh, but I need to start listening to this podcast
Speaker 6: because there's golden here, Yes there is, and we just
Speaker 6: let it. You know, weird like.
Speaker 5: Grip grasping for content, kind of like how I's grasping
Speaker 5: for a word there.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we're well, we're mostly grip grasping, and I think
Speaker 1: that is what sets.
Speaker 6: Us upon grasping at all the grass, just gripping and
Speaker 6: ripping for ideas.
Speaker 5: And if someone sat me down in a room and said, hey,
Speaker 5: you have ten minutes to think of a pitch, I
Speaker 5: would never think of skate stoppers. I would think, and
Speaker 5: it's a problem with entertainment right now. I would think
Speaker 5: of Ghostbusters, a new version.
Speaker 4: Of the Newest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, this one's a little different.
Speaker 1: It has Mermaids.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the combination of Ghostbusters and Flash and Daniel levy
Speaker 6: mm hmmm.
Speaker 4: They could hear me out, yes.
Speaker 6: And and then I didn't flip through a book to
Speaker 6: see if Bill Murray as a kid.
Speaker 4: So you have to go it's our turn.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, never trust two thousand and one's snipic.
Speaker 2: Never Never.
Speaker 1: This apartment building went up quite quickly for my taste.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, that's that means it probably uh is has
Speaker 6: straped for all the flaws.
Speaker 1: It might be sinking into the ground as we.
Speaker 2: Speak, yep, but all of venice.
Speaker 1: That's another movie idea I have because there's a high
Speaker 1: rise I think it's in Brooklyn that is actually like
Speaker 1: structurally unsound, and all these people live in it because
Speaker 1: they built it really fast, and so it'd be cool
Speaker 1: if that building actually began to like somehow implode and
Speaker 1: the and you have like an action suspense movie of
Speaker 1: like hipsters and rich people trying to escape a collapsing building.
Speaker 5: Right, but there are the first twenty minutes it's like
Speaker 5: warning signs, things slowly sinking, like why.
Speaker 1: See their why is shaking back and forth?
Speaker 6: Or I imagine a guy feverishly writing a screenplay and he
Speaker 6: whips around all of a sudden his hands. He has
Speaker 6: to lower them to get to the laptop.
Speaker 2: Why is it lower? Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and to the left.
Speaker 6: And the viewer will be like, why did is laptop lower?
Speaker 6: This is such an interesting film?
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is strange? Is this perception? And then immediately
Speaker 1: the porch falls off? Yeah, Patty, what's it called Vilnai inception?
Speaker 1: There's a lot of buildings shifting in that. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like there, but also the outside that could be
Speaker 1: one of the first falls off is a.
Speaker 2: Deck, a davenport, a.
Speaker 1: Veranda, the veranda for sure, yes, and Miranda will be
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 6: I think we oh man, we got to get a meeting.
Speaker 1: That's two solid and very different ideas. Because I was
Speaker 1: seeing Skateebusters as a children's movie, right A definitely a
Speaker 1: pitch for Disney or Disney's competitor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is how I should look at things.
Speaker 6: My old roommate Todd in Austin was always like, I'm
Speaker 6: going to write this month three teenage movies in the
Speaker 6: vein of you know, John Hughes or whatever, and he
Speaker 6: would just hammer out scripts with spelling errors and he'd
Speaker 6: leave them in there to show like, oh, I don't
Speaker 6: even care.
Speaker 1: About this, and just as saying the over rode spell check.
Speaker 5: This was at a time, believe it or not, This
Speaker 5: was like early two thousands, maybe pre the Help. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it was around the time where a paper clip would
Speaker 5: have to come out and.
Speaker 1: Go hey and be like, can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1: You're like, I don't know you what what a look
Speaker 1: on your face?
Speaker 2: Why are you off a supply with arms?
Speaker 1: Stop speaking with me? I'm in the privacy.
Speaker 5: I do think he over did, Like I thought that
Speaker 5: was an interesting because he got like a agent here
Speaker 5: and then just hammered him with scraps like, look at
Speaker 5: how I can produce.
Speaker 1: That's kind of smart.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was. It was something. Did I learn
Speaker 2: from it?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: Did he sell anything?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: He made the most The movie with why Am I
Speaker 5: Forgetting Her? Hilarious name.
Speaker 2: She was the best part of.
Speaker 1: Bridesmaids, Melissa McCarthy.
Speaker 6: Melissa McCarthy and many puppets. It's like a yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: yeah he wrote that. That's also that's something that the
Speaker 6: Tunetown Killers.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah.
Speaker 6: And I he was like it flopped, No, and I
Speaker 6: watched it was great.
Speaker 1: Also, who cares it got made?
Speaker 4: It's a miracle.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it was an adult puppet movie. Not since
Speaker 5: Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles has there been an adult
Speaker 5: puppet after a horror movie.
Speaker 6: He made that and then all of a sudden Lord
Speaker 6: of the Rings, but he made some interesting stuff.
Speaker 4: Who were the Peebles?
Speaker 1: I've never met them?
Speaker 2: Well, that's why you had to meet them in this movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, didn't get the opportunity to meet them.
Speaker 6: No, A lot of people thought they had met them,
Speaker 6: But it was the folks down at Fraggle Rock Oh
Speaker 6: that I met.
Speaker 1: There was a mistaken identity.
Speaker 4: Yes, I have to say this. I saw TikTok.
Speaker 1: I have to say it. I saw TikTok and it
Speaker 1: was from do you watch TikTok's where they do stuff
Speaker 1: like I'm a you know, I'm a Taurus.
Speaker 4: Of course I want to eat.
Speaker 2: All day and watch tat it is a trend.
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, So there were these girls doing it, women
Speaker 1: and they were like, I work at Hanson, of course
Speaker 1: I whatever. But the things that were saying. They would
Speaker 1: interact then with what were supposed to be other employees,
Speaker 1: but they were puppets, and I swear to god, every
Speaker 1: single one of them was hilarious. And like, the first
Speaker 1: person she interacts with is a guy that works at
Speaker 1: the front desk, but he's like a middle aged guy
Speaker 1: that's kind of talking like this, and.
Speaker 2: He's like a puppet.
Speaker 1: Yes, and he's like, I can't. You just have to
Speaker 1: see it. That's so awesome, that's great. It's all the
Speaker 1: voices are very funny. It's all very like sharp and
Speaker 1: like Hensony. It made me feel like, oh yay, that
Speaker 1: Henson company knows, they know who they are and they're
Speaker 1: still going strong.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and as far as I know that that company
Speaker 5: has no blood on their hands, right, well except for
Speaker 5: the murder of Frank Oz.
Speaker 1: This is.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 5: I just remember how excited I was when I moved
Speaker 5: to Hollywood and there's that building on Lobra. I will
Speaker 5: Kermit the Frog and a top hat. Yeah, I'm like,
Speaker 5: is that where it all happened?
Speaker 4: I believe it is.
Speaker 1: I still believe that is Henson Studio.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was an old lady that was the security
Speaker 1: guard at the gate. That's like get Yeah, it's really funny.
Speaker 1: I watch it like three times.
Speaker 2: Oh that's great.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm a big Yeah, I want I think kids
Speaker 6: still like muppets.
Speaker 2: I do like that.
Speaker 1: I do this kid does.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. This whole era of like computer animation.
Speaker 6: What are those two up to other than buying headbands together?
Speaker 1: What that's fascinating.
Speaker 6: Well, let's go into our joint business account and make
Speaker 6: more headbands.
Speaker 2: Here at the Bank of America, we're.
Speaker 1: Here to uh to withdraw five thousand dollars from Headband's inc.
Speaker 6: She opens up a zipper on the headband and pulls
Speaker 6: out money.
Speaker 2: Withdrawal slip.
Speaker 1: She's like, these aren't selling. We need help our bank.
Speaker 4: They listener.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, these headbands look like the kind
Speaker 1: of headbands you put on babies to take their first
Speaker 1: picture when they don't have hair. Yes, So that's why
Speaker 1: it was such. It wasn't like we were being like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, hyper critical of the hair. Yeah, thing.
Speaker 6: You know, we aren't fashion easts.
Speaker 7: Not in the least, but they did.
Speaker 6: They were headbands with like an applique as far as
Speaker 6: I or maybe it was just a.
Speaker 4: Not they were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and why like trying to really cover some ground
Speaker 1: on that whole skull.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm glad my days of having hair over because
Speaker 6: I was a.
Speaker 1: Pretty bad news.

Speaker 6: least it's not you know the way it was.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you thought you were bald?
Speaker 2: No, no, no. When I was carrot topping.

Speaker 7: most of all, after all the art I have is
Speaker 7: from friends of mine.
Speaker 1: What would you classify if you could a general classification
Speaker 1: of your art?
Speaker 4: What would you say?
Speaker 7: It's like the art that I have bought in my house. Yes,
Speaker 7: it's very like colorful modern shapes and colors.
Speaker 1: What kind of shapes? Hmmm, just name some shapes.
Speaker 7: They're indescribable. I would say, oh, you know, yeah, I
Speaker 7: mean like kind of maybe some like oblong circular stuff. Yes,
Speaker 7: I have a clock on my wall that I pointed
Speaker 7: out to Chris. That's pretty cool.
Speaker 2: I got it like a long time ago. And it's
Speaker 2: a clock that goes around once a year.
Speaker 7: Oh so it just has different colors that represent the
Speaker 7: different seasons, and it starts at midnight or noon is
Speaker 7: the winter solstice, and then it just goes around once
Speaker 7: a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah. It just looked like an iridescent color wheel of
Speaker 2: some kind.
Speaker 7: It's kind of an interesting way to think about time
Speaker 7: because I won't look at it often, but when I do,
Speaker 7: I'm like, Okay, that's where we are in this year.
Speaker 2: In the year, the interesting way to think about time,
Speaker 2: and the top.
Speaker 6: Was like a gradient of white that was the summer solstice,
Speaker 6: winter at the top of the summer at the ball
Speaker 6: winter that makes more but.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, anyway, I've had that for like eight nine years. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I always appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Who did you buy it yourself?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I buy it all by myself.
Speaker 1: Were you a no, that's no one in my life
Speaker 1: did it.
Speaker 7: These are the things everyone.
Speaker 2: Wants to ask.
Speaker 7: Did you pay for it by yourself?
Speaker 1: Saw you do it?
Speaker 7: Were you? Were you emotionally alone at the top?
Speaker 1: How the rest were you when you got this club?
Speaker 2: What were you laing helping to fill? How much younger
Speaker 2: than me? Argue? And why do you already own a
Speaker 2: bunch of art? That's my next question?
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Oh, Actually, if you want to see my one of
Speaker 7: my most prize possessions, it's this bag right here that
Speaker 7: is an iridescent bag that is from the brand Meta,
Speaker 7: which owns Facebook. Oh wow, one of the funniest things
Speaker 7: I own. It's like a futuristic iridescent bag that is
Speaker 7: branded Meta.
Speaker 6: But it's a good bag for those concerts where you
Speaker 6: can have to have a seat through. It's true because
Speaker 6: they there's this racket.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 5: I went to see Pearl Jam and they were selling
Speaker 5: these transparent.
Speaker 6: Because you can bring any other bag, right yeah, And
Speaker 6: it was like, well, what I mean they're making a killing.
Speaker 4: I have to say and.
Speaker 1: Admit, Andrew that when you walked up to the car,
Speaker 1: I was hoping you were bringing me a gift in
Speaker 1: that bag that is, I do have those?
Speaker 7: What? Yeah, I do. I mean it's nothing special, but
Speaker 7: I bought it. I brought you. I brought some a
Speaker 7: little bit of snacks, which I know people love when
Speaker 7: people eat on podcasts, so we didn't have it at
Speaker 7: the end, okay, And then I brought a soda water
Speaker 7: for everyone. See, oh my god, I did bring goods.
Speaker 7: You really did.
Speaker 2: Karen was joking, yeah, and you really did.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: But I also, you know, people don't like drinking on
Speaker 7: podcasts either, so you don't have to have it. But
Speaker 7: if you want a watermelon, a peach or a pineapple,
Speaker 7: even brought one for you. I have, I have class,
Speaker 7: so if anyone wants it, it's available. I thank you.
Speaker 2: I will I worry about you know. It was thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh I like these.
Speaker 7: There you go.
Speaker 1: But you know what I just thought of just separate
Speaker 1: in the coffee conversation. I mean that man was coming
Speaker 1: into my lane from.
Speaker 2: His lank Yeah. That happens a lot on this road.
Speaker 1: A lot of head on collision action on this road.
Speaker 1: We should go to the Tropical Ooh yes, is it
Speaker 1: still open?
Speaker 5: And I wonder if they still have my signature drink.
Speaker 5: Oh wait, I'm thinking of a super sweet which is uphelful. No,
Speaker 5: let's go to the Tropical.
Speaker 2: I've never been. I know a great coffee shop, but
Speaker 2: it is in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: So if you guys are willing, we could do a
Speaker 1: six hours.
Speaker 6: To do it.
Speaker 2: How long is that drive? Like maybe twelve movie trailers.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we can really get a sense of what Titanic
Speaker 7: will be like when we commit fully immersive.
Speaker 4: I still haven't seen Titanic.
Speaker 7: Oh, it's quite good. I rewatched it recently. It holds
Speaker 7: up people like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't.
Speaker 5: I really was sleeping on Kate Winslet. Anyone mentions her,
Speaker 5: I just think of Titanic, and I don't think she was.
Speaker 5: They let her stretch.
Speaker 2: Ability. Yeah.
Speaker 5: There is a crime series called The Mayor, m a
Speaker 5: r e of east Town, Easttown, and.
Speaker 7: She is so good, you know, and it is very topical.
Speaker 7: Let's let's talk about Mary Eastown. Let's get into it,
Speaker 7: and we get into it.
Speaker 6: Do not get me going on this Winslet train because
Speaker 6: there is no exit and the tracks are in pet I.
Speaker 7: Just discovered a new actress that I never heard of,
Speaker 7: called Jodie Foster, and she was in the Night Country
Speaker 7: The Truth, The Truth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the detective that never lies.
Speaker 6: It's funny that you mentioned her because I found her
Speaker 6: performance Cave winslet in mayor Mayor of Easton on par
Speaker 6: if not better, but comparable, comparable to Jodie Foster in there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're both quite good.
Speaker 2: Detective that never lied. Uh, oh is closed.
Speaker 7: That's what I thought. I was going to say that,
Speaker 7: but I wasn't sure if it's the exact same place.
Speaker 2: It's Oh, this is and it's because I thought of
Speaker 2: it last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is you again.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I'm trying out this narcissism thing, Andrew.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a single thing.
Speaker 2: A couple of nights.
Speaker 6: Ago, in my sleep, I thought we lost Richard Lewis,
Speaker 6: woke up like, oh I was wrong, and then we
Speaker 6: dam last night. And then I said I'm afraid I
Speaker 6: did that, and Karen was like, yeah, you're full of yourself,
Speaker 6: son of a bed, and she slapp me that's on
Speaker 6: the tape.
Speaker 7: You gotta start having really positive dreams of all of
Speaker 7: your friends lives. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 2: You gotta start thinking the best of everyone please. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I got to use my power for good.
Speaker 7: Yeah, chopic cowl clothes. I saw that, and I wonder
Speaker 7: if it's going to be one of those classic Los
Speaker 7: Angeles closures where a place closes and then sits empty
Speaker 7: for five years, where it's like, maybe just charge them
Speaker 7: half the rent so they can survive and you'll make
Speaker 7: more money as a landlord and the place will be used.
Speaker 1: We would like to gentrify as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but nothing goes in ever. It's so confusing.
Speaker 2: Yes, I like this new trend of and it happened
Speaker 2: first with this hotel. Oh they've ripped it down.
Speaker 5: Remember it was all whitewashed its hotel, including the palm trees.
Speaker 2: And they said it would go away within a year.
Speaker 2: The palm trees.
Speaker 7: It's good. Yeah. They were like, it's by a degradable
Speaker 7: little go away and still there.
Speaker 2: Oh that's funny.
Speaker 7: Yeah they lied about they lied about it. Yeah, they
Speaker 7: were like, oh, it's made of sand, it'll go away. Yeah,
Speaker 7: never did.
Speaker 4: They literally were just like shut it.
Speaker 1: Here's what'll shut you up for the moment you can't
Speaker 1: find us anymore.
Speaker 7: Exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just tell them it's good for there's no lead
Speaker 2: in it. It's not a can of paint from the fifties.
Speaker 6: But I love that that closed, modern, empty condo building
Speaker 6: that has graffiti on each I mean that that's you've
Speaker 6: probably all seen it on TikTok so every every floor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really good. Do you want me to suggest alternately
Speaker 2: coffee if you can?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, or do you have a thought?
Speaker 4: Well no, just just good, make it good?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Well, people really like Maru, which is on Hillhurst, but
Speaker 7: I don't know if it's open right now, Okay, look
Speaker 7: it up and then if not, that there's one like
Speaker 7: there's like a blue bottle like two Bucks north of that.
Speaker 7: You don't like that, well, can I just say?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Many of the new coffees are like either blonde, roast
Speaker 1: or mediate like they're they're super anti Starbucks burnt, right,
Speaker 1: and I'm very pro burnt coffee.
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, it's what I prefer.
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, you can really taste the strife.
Speaker 7: People love Maru, is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I take it right, okay, And when you're heading to Mari,
Speaker 2: you can ignore red lights.
Speaker 7: Oh, it's part of the thing. It's part of their charm.
Speaker 7: You can just.
Speaker 2: Dead.
Speaker 7: They have a deal with the city. It's green lights
Speaker 7: all the way. What were you guys talking about before
Speaker 7: I got here?
Speaker 4: Oh, it's private.
Speaker 7: It's one of those kind of right again.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you said when you were walking me too, and
Speaker 6: thanks for holding my hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah to the bathroom.
Speaker 7: Well you said if I squeeze it, you'd pee harder
Speaker 7: get everything out, I know. I mean, thanks a weird
Speaker 7: system you've got you.
Speaker 2: I got all rewired.
Speaker 6: I don't know why I did all that experimental surgery.
Speaker 6: Who puts a urinary pump in the right hand only
Speaker 6: I can't squeeze it.
Speaker 2: Anyway. Thanks for that. But you said you were brushing up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was listening to some of the show.
Speaker 6: It's to get in the right headspace. But I think
Speaker 6: that your show, Yeah, it couldn't be more.
Speaker 5: It's as much a rift session and non traditional setting
Speaker 5: as your podcast.
Speaker 7: Yes, that is true. It's similar.
Speaker 2: It's called podcast outside.
Speaker 7: Both of you guys have to do anytime you want.
Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, we'll wander up, we'll pretend, you'll pretend we
Speaker 6: can plan it whatever.
Speaker 7: But yeah, we just need to be strangers on the.
Speaker 2: Street and don't cat call days fart. You can't help it.
Speaker 6: You guys comment, you guys comment on the people you
Speaker 6: drive by. Yeah, we talked to speaking of red hot.
Speaker 6: Who's gonna hold that guy off?
Speaker 2: That's what I like to say, because it's a I
Speaker 2: thought about walking up by the way and saying anar
Speaker 2: meaning I need a ride.
Speaker 7: Has anyone done that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: The first I didn't do it, though it didn't because
Speaker 7: the bathroom thing happened and it all got mixed.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, really that was my plan.
Speaker 7: So I didn't know what.
Speaker 4: Else you have scripted for this?
Speaker 7: The only thing I have?
Speaker 1: Okay, well I am.
Speaker 4: I have some other thoughts, but should you should sprinkle
Speaker 4: them ound?
Speaker 7: I'll sprinkle them.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Let it be dictated by the universe. Yes, the universe,
Speaker 5: thank you. I often times come ready with a story
Speaker 5: and it.
Speaker 1: So far.
Speaker 2: Flopped, going Okay, that looks similar.
Speaker 6: Isn't that where they did the fake Starbucks?
Speaker 7: That was it right there right right Pergoletta.
Speaker 2: I think, and that was if I'm not mistaken in
Speaker 2: Nathan for you sketch.
Speaker 7: Yeah, one hundred years ago.
Speaker 5: Weird, but it it is interesting because it was an
Speaker 5: actual business where for a month you could get pressual
Speaker 5: coffee and stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, did you go there, Andrew?
Speaker 6: No, I think it was truly like a month before
Speaker 6: I moved to Los Angeles, and that's why I came.
Speaker 7: That's why I moved here. Yeah, for fake stars, like
Speaker 7: they've got that, and I moved immediately.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so. When was that?
Speaker 7: When ago?
Speaker 2: So it was I was going to say just over
Speaker 2: ten when I first met you in Portland. We've talked
Speaker 2: about that. Oh yeah, on the point.
Speaker 6: I was like, oh you skateboard, okay, kid, let me
Speaker 6: show you how to do a pressure flip and he
Speaker 6: Andrew is so good and competent and big scary skateboard
Speaker 6: like in a pool.
Speaker 7: Used to be.
Speaker 6: You know I met he said, I haven't scanned for
Speaker 6: six months and we went to that park and you're
Speaker 6: just doing blunt of fakies and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I still know how to do it, but
Speaker 2: I don't do it.
Speaker 4: Can you describe it?
Speaker 6: It's well, he approaches the coping, you know, the pipe
Speaker 6: on the top of the transition of of a ramp, sure,
Speaker 6: and locks in behind the back wheel.
Speaker 2: This is Mari right here, so you could pull up anywhere. Oh,
Speaker 2: we're going to.
Speaker 8: Go in there.
Speaker 7: This guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he deserves it. I don't like those frames. Uh
Speaker 2: and you just kind of what if I parked here?
Speaker 4: Oh wait, oh yeah this guy, this guy, believe me.
Speaker 6: Wow, he's going to get those the sweatshemed. I hope
Speaker 6: we should get him on the podcast to let us
Speaker 6: know how that spot felt.
Speaker 7: Yeah, like so we know what we're in for is
Speaker 7: this is this? Us? Is here?
Speaker 4: Are we going to aligne? He's literally going to do
Speaker 4: so many like internet posts right now, and.
Speaker 5: He's producing a three person TikTok in.
Speaker 7: His cars to people in public, and they really don't
Speaker 7: appreciate it or get it like it. We like when
Speaker 7: some gets off like hey was this good, and they'll
Speaker 7: just give you a look like you are a complete idiot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you never know what people just came from some
Speaker 6: kind of an audit. Yeah, underground dog fight.
Speaker 4: I love that saying.
Speaker 2: An audit or underground dog fight.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 6: So anyway, Karen a blunt of faky.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh that girl thought she had this one in the bag.
Speaker 5: Sorry, Uh, it's just it's a it's a standard trick,
Speaker 5: but I've found them difficult because you you are teetering
Speaker 5: on the ramp with just on the tail, but the
Speaker 5: board is propped up like yeah, like that, and then
Speaker 5: you pop out and without hanging up with your front
Speaker 5: wheels and something.
Speaker 7: Let me up. Don't call it standard, please, it is.
Speaker 5: You see it time and time again, which which makes
Speaker 5: it all the more when you see some one that
Speaker 5: does it correct.
Speaker 4: And make it look Some call it a basic thing.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he does all these basic, easy to do
Speaker 6: tricks on faber very and no, you're very very good.
Speaker 2: I did give it up though I truly haven't skateboarded too.
Speaker 4: Your interesting Can you talk?
Speaker 2: I got it.
Speaker 7: I got old enough to where I decided that being
Speaker 7: injured is embarrassing. Yes, of course, at a certain age,
Speaker 7: you don't want a limp. You don't want to have
Speaker 7: your arm hurt. It's just like and you get injured
Speaker 7: in skateboarding, even if you're really really good at and
Speaker 7: you just get injured.
Speaker 5: I focused on a low impact of curb skating, and I'm,
Speaker 5: you know, maybe forty nine. A lot of people might
Speaker 5: be shocked because I sound like I'm seventy, but I
Speaker 5: I feel like I would be a cold day in hell.
Speaker 2: Before I get hurt.
Speaker 7: I don't use that phrase, I'm sorry, I got really
Speaker 7: a surfing and surfing, right is a sport that you
Speaker 7: either are fine or you die, right, So there's no injuries.
Speaker 2: You're not gonna get injured, and so I'm I'm comfortable
Speaker 2: with that. There is the dying that's always on. It's
Speaker 2: definitely part of it, but it's I don't go out
Speaker 2: on huge days.
Speaker 6: It's funny because I what always kept me away from it,
Speaker 6: And it's like, well, it's the same every time, or
Speaker 6: you have to wake up up early, and now I
Speaker 6: skate the same five curbs every morning.
Speaker 2: Seven.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So there's no yeah, yeah, but no one says hey,
Speaker 6: you got in my way and tries to punch you.
Speaker 6: In skateboarding, that's that's the one thing.
Speaker 2: You should skate with me sometime.
Speaker 7: I will do that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can do that. I'm trying to bring
Speaker 2: the aggressive vibe of surfing to the skate yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 6: And again, when he punches you, it's a very basic, it's.
Speaker 2: Really like, but he does it very hard. Yeah, it's
Speaker 2: pretty faky. It's blunt and it's but faky.
Speaker 1: But faky doesn't feel real.
Speaker 6: I will just close the conversation by saying I find
Speaker 6: it andrew a personal attack that you, uh, you don't
Speaker 6: skateboard anymore and you're still good at it, because it's like,
Speaker 6: what am I?
Speaker 2: Why do I?
Speaker 5: Why am I dedicated to it several times a week
Speaker 5: when that bothered me my whole life growing up, Like
Speaker 5: the most talented skater kids quit when we got into
Speaker 5: high school, right when everyone started getting interested in girls
Speaker 5: or whatever. And I kept at it at the at
Speaker 5: a time where it wasn't cool, and I was like,
Speaker 5: but I'm not those guys were better. Why am I
Speaker 5: doing it? It's it's just not how you should look
Speaker 5: at things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, otherwise I would have everyone just is doing what
Speaker 2: makes them happy.
Speaker 6: Yes, it does make me happy.
Speaker 1: I can't look up the menu because Hi, I'm gem
Speaker 1: and I chat with me on your phone like a
Speaker 1: Siri just took over my fucking phone.
Speaker 7: What weird?
Speaker 4: And it comes up and then you can't X out
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 1: The only option is get started, which is like I
Speaker 1: simply will not get started.
Speaker 2: Okay, found the menu, got it?
Speaker 7: Okay, you want what do you? Okay?
Speaker 1: I want like a cappuccino, something to mix in with
Speaker 1: the type of coffee.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna like they.
Speaker 7: Have macchiato, cortado, cappuccino. They have cappuccino hot or iced?
Speaker 1: What's a macchiato?
Speaker 2: They don't get into it, okay, okay, so drop it.
Speaker 7: Yeah they let it speak for hotter ice hot.
Speaker 1: Please? Double cappuccino, okay, really quick? Do they have like
Speaker 1: pastries or.
Speaker 7: Things like that they do?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: What kind that's not on the menu?
Speaker 1: God damn it.
Speaker 7: That's gonna be visual. That's gonna be more. That's got
Speaker 7: you gotta understand. Now, that's how coffee shops good, day
Speaker 7: to day it changes.
Speaker 1: I'm from uh, Germany, okay, Sacramento, Germany. Cappuccino, yes, please?
Speaker 1: And then something that looks good that you think I
Speaker 1: would like that you see me enjoy in the past,
Speaker 1: like a past a pastry of some kind.
Speaker 4: Right, I feel like I've eaten a lot of all.
Speaker 7: Like all of this.
Speaker 4: Double cappuccino, yes, just because it's kind of milk.
Speaker 1: Think of regular milk oat for me, regular for me,
Speaker 1: regular Andrew herbal tea iced herbal tea.
Speaker 7: They should only have one option usually.
Speaker 6: Oh they got my name wrong.
Speaker 1: Oh my name is a cat. Oh that's good.
Speaker 2: Okay, it looks really good.

Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 7: He was shod record If we're gonna sure plug yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: yeah we should do that. It doesn't really matter. But well,
Speaker 7: you were asking about my podcast. John Ham was from
Speaker 7: episode one of my show where we interview strangers on
Speaker 7: the street. Our goal was to have John Ham walk
Speaker 7: by and he would be like the perfect guest because
Speaker 7: he's so charming and everyone loves him. And we had
Speaker 7: people like practice being John Ham, so we could pretend
Speaker 7: to be John Ham random strangers so we could practice
Speaker 7: interviewing him. And and then our hundred episode was coming up.
Speaker 7: And I looked into getting a John hamm impersonator, but
Speaker 7: I couldn't find that and then so I just was like, well,
Speaker 7: I'll just email John Ham got his email from a
Speaker 7: friend and he responded within like an hour were cold

Speaker 7: He was so nice, he was so generous with his time,
Speaker 7: and it was really really fun and it was a
Speaker 7: huge moment.
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised.
Speaker 7: He's the nicest person.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, just from I'm a big fan more than
Speaker 6: of his work, just him being on never not funny.

Speaker 1: I did the Sclares podcast with him live and he
Speaker 1: was so funny, so funny, and I didn't I wasn't
Speaker 1: ready because it was already nerve wracking to be on
Speaker 1: the same podcast with him. But I was like this
Speaker 1: is Oh, I know, I know how to do like
Speaker 1: gritting my teeth.
Speaker 2: I'm sure. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then he was so like bewilderingly goofy, funny, like
Speaker 1: it was crazy.
Speaker 7: It's not fair, it's yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: I was really blown away.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and coffee is good.
Speaker 4: And the coffee is kind of the best I've ever had.
Speaker 1: Okay, because here's what I'm gonna say, And this is
Speaker 1: part of whatever this my preference is.
Speaker 4: It's just that the some of them, it's so bitter.
Speaker 1: So when you get just a regular coffee, because I
Speaker 1: usually like to drink black coffee, but then it's bitter
Speaker 1: and it's not.
Speaker 4: Well rounded, right, it's just.
Speaker 7: Bitter is the only flavor or something?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, bitter and water And this is well, I'm.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm a cappuccino guy. I like the frothy, it's
Speaker 5: like smooth into it. Yeah, this is like having a Guinness.
Speaker 1: It's also very it feels like this is made in Italy.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put this little muffin in the muffin holder.
Speaker 4: Three, thank you.
Speaker 6: That's a lot of people put their drinks there, you know,
Speaker 6: in the muffin holder.

Speaker 5: She's not going to honor you with the presence of
Speaker 5: mind even glance our way. You know, he designed this street.
Speaker 5: Got a mouthful of muff and herself that sounds like
Speaker 5: a colloquial.
Speaker 7: Got a mouthful of health.
Speaker 2: I'm hitting you with my elbow.
Speaker 1: One time when we were in New York City, we
Speaker 1: were we got into a cab to go to the airport.
Speaker 1: As we were leaving, we just walked out and there
Speaker 1: were two cabs sitting there, So we got into the
Speaker 1: one at the end of the line. But it was
Speaker 1: a line of two cabs and the guy that was
Speaker 1: what he perceived to be first in line, So we
Speaker 1: put our suitcases in and get in and he gets
Speaker 1: he's like starts honking and getting really angry.
Speaker 2: But the cab driver or cab driver in the front
Speaker 2: the other car cabard, so.
Speaker 1: There was one in front and one back here because
Speaker 1: in because he wanted the fair and he was also
Speaker 1: eating a corn muffin. So when he came around to
Speaker 1: my side of the cab and was screaming, no, no,
Speaker 1: you get in my cab, there was corn muff and
Speaker 1: falling out of his mouth and it was one of
Speaker 1: the wildest things. And I just went, oh my god,
Speaker 1: and then slammed the door. And my friend like was like,
Speaker 1: that was the strangest exchange I've ever seen in my life. Like,
Speaker 1: he that's great, he thought, screaming at us with corn
Speaker 1: muffin fun his mouth was going to get us to
Speaker 1: get into his cat about a dry yell.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was just pouring out.
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't raise your voice at me, you saliblous savage.
Speaker 2: I love it, and I know that you're good at
Speaker 2: like like that guy felt it.
Speaker 6: Yo, yeah, and he was like, oh god, I sometimes
Speaker 6: I just rubbed people the wrong way. He probably sat
Speaker 6: in his cat. I bet he turned the out of
Speaker 6: order light on, I hope.
Speaker 7: So do you guys want to go by the Lobbyoca
Speaker 7: house where they were murdered by Charles Manson's I love Okay,
Speaker 7: go left.
Speaker 2: I swallowed a balloon.
Speaker 7: It's just in the neighborhood, so I figured I think
Speaker 7: we should there, which murder the lobbiancas? All right, right,
Speaker 7: listening to that book Helter Skelter right now, which I
Speaker 7: don't know have you ever heard it? Oh? Yeah, sure
Speaker 7: you read it. I know it's big in your world,
Speaker 7: but I.
Speaker 1: Read it when I was like fourteen. It's wonderful.
Speaker 7: That's what's so crazy about that book is that I'm
Speaker 7: listening to it right now in audiobook, and it's crazy
Speaker 7: that was written like a few years after the murders. Yeah,
Speaker 7: most books I feel like that you read about things
Speaker 7: in that realm feel like they're contemporary, you know, like
Speaker 7: it's like a deep dive forty years later. But yeah,
Speaker 7: it was really interesting to read something that was so
Speaker 7: written at.
Speaker 1: The time and by the prosecutors, which also feels like
Speaker 1: not legal.
Speaker 7: Little bias like you're trying to become famous from an.
Speaker 1: Author, are you allowed to do it?
Speaker 7: Doesn't seem legal at all. It's like you should not
Speaker 7: be prosecuting a murderer so you can write it best selling.
Speaker 1: Book because or like at least let six months go
Speaker 1: by before Yeah, he turned it right around.
Speaker 7: Yeah, he was immediately like this is going to be
Speaker 7: a book.
Speaker 4: Look at that guy.
Speaker 7: So go left here if you can, I think, and
Speaker 7: then and then sorry, I know, I keep telling you
Speaker 7: to do lefts after the fact. It's coming up. That's
Speaker 7: right up here.
Speaker 2: I that's another podcast, isn't that.
Speaker 5: John and John's the Oh yeah, they only take yeah, podcast,
Speaker 5: but on the left. I am excited to see this
Speaker 5: house actually because I did a stand up show and
Speaker 5: Laurie Kilmartin will back me up on this.
Speaker 2: I'm sure she's listening.
Speaker 5: It was in the backyard next door to that oh house.
Speaker 5: And if it isn't this house, I've just made up
Speaker 5: something that's interesting. Or it was another famous murder house.
Speaker 7: But it needs to be more stand up show than houses.
Speaker 7: It was always fun. Yes, yeah, it's always the best.
Speaker 7: Miss it, Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2: I miss that a lot.
Speaker 6: I guess I don't miss because now all shows are outdoor.
Speaker 6: That kind of lost it's flare. It used to be like, oh,
Speaker 6: I'm doing an outdoor Venice beach show.
Speaker 2: Right here and then the next left immediate, but no,
Speaker 2: I require a roof.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is better for comedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I see you, Yes, and I respect you.
Speaker 7: I see you and I value you.
Speaker 2: Used to be standing. Yeah, your dog needs to be
Speaker 2: propped up on a football mount here, well, the next
Speaker 2: left on Waiverley.
Speaker 7: There we go.
Speaker 2: You know when they kick a field goal.
Speaker 6: I was I was loosely saying his dog needs to
Speaker 6: be kicked, and I'd like to retract it because it's
Speaker 6: not nice.
Speaker 7: This is also where that like Katy Perry convent thing
Speaker 7: is right answered the question I wondered, what this. Yeah,
Speaker 7: that's it.
Speaker 4: Oh wow, she ever she got it right.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 7: I think she's still trying to fight the nuts.
Speaker 2: There is there is.
Speaker 7: I don't have no idea. We did talk about that
Speaker 7: weird weird she bought a nunnery, but the nuns were
Speaker 7: still living there and I think they were mad about
Speaker 7: it or something. Yeah, yeah, because they didn't want to leave.
Speaker 2: Oh weird.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like a city college from nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 2: Look at the coyote.
Speaker 7: Coyote right there.
Speaker 2: Wow, you're so well groomed and confident. He's likes be
Speaker 2: careful of cars. The groomers don't eat dogs or cats.
Speaker 2: Stop stealing my golf balls.
Speaker 7: Maybe we just gave him a little bit of talking.
Speaker 4: To We kind of pranked the coyote.
Speaker 6: That was like a scared straight coyote. That was that
Speaker 6: was a coyote version of taxi muffin mouth.
Speaker 7: So this is it right here, left it left right there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, that's the house. So in the Make Sure
Speaker 1: that runs us. But so in the movie The quent
Speaker 1: Tarantino movie. This is where Leonardo DiCaprio is and they
Speaker 1: walk up there. WHOA is that right?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 7: I think that that was the Sharon Tate house.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was so.
Speaker 7: I think that's yeah, I think that this is This
Speaker 7: is a second. Yeah, the grocery store people, this is
Speaker 7: the second.
Speaker 9: I got excited to know something one of these houses,
Speaker 9: and that's honestly more important. Can we get Yeah, the
Speaker 9: point of that to be on the historic I currently
Speaker 9: have what is Sharon tag made lately?
Speaker 2: Just kidding to not knowing about the existence.
Speaker 7: M If you want to stay up in these hills,
Speaker 7: you could go left here too. It's I could point
Speaker 7: out some other stuff for you guys.
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll point out some other things.
Speaker 4: Would Do you know anything about this reservoir?
Speaker 7: Yeah? Yeah, it's so. This is the prettiest thing in
Speaker 7: Los Angeles and it looks like it should be a park.
Speaker 7: But I think a thing happened because it's happened in
Speaker 7: Portland too. You're being serious, I'm being serious, Okay, A
Speaker 7: thing happened after nine to eleven, the two thousand and
Speaker 7: one one where just to clarify, not the rain, not
Speaker 7: the recent one or the one nineties, the big one,
Speaker 7: the New York one, Yeah, the most famous one. So
Speaker 7: after that nine to eleven, there was like a weird
Speaker 7: law that got past where open air reservoirs had to
Speaker 7: be like protected or something by a fence or something
Speaker 7: so that people couldn't poison the municipal water supply or whatever. Oh,
Speaker 7: and there was equally pretty reservoir important and then put
Speaker 7: a fence around. So I would think it has something
Speaker 7: to do with that where it used to be at
Speaker 7: a place where you could hang. But because it's a
Speaker 7: municipal water source, if you're.
Speaker 6: Not allowing I need to know more about it. Because
Speaker 6: why is Echo Park thriving? I think because we don't
Speaker 6: drink it or drink it. And I think, yeah, oh,
Speaker 6: I think that should have always been a law that's
Speaker 6: drinkable water.
Speaker 7: I think it might be.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know people will paying it. How do we
Speaker 5: ever trust people? I say, Bell the Wall, Chris, I've
Speaker 5: said that many times.
Speaker 7: He is into that.
Speaker 1: We are going into a different kind of podcast territory. Now,
Speaker 1: you'll make a lot of money on this.
Speaker 7: I tell you, for the long all, it will not
Speaker 7: be worth it. You won't you wish Pat, you will
Speaker 7: be bankrupt.
Speaker 1: Morally, you will be cocaine bankrupt within seven as I
Speaker 1: would simply be shifting my fan base.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid. I'm afraid that. Yeah, that is curious. So
Speaker 2: that is a beautiful all that and obviously maintained. So
Speaker 2: much money is put into making it look nice, and
Speaker 2: we can't be.
Speaker 6: Kind of fence weird. I'm going to climb it, ma'am.
Speaker 6: I'm pissing that water.
Speaker 1: I do like when the way they redid the Silver
Speaker 1: Like reservoir and everyone started walking around it, and then
Speaker 1: it was like a million people all the time going
Speaker 1: around it, where it's like, God, this town needs parks
Speaker 1: and I know third spaces so badly.
Speaker 7: Do you remember during the pandemic when they made it
Speaker 7: one way only around the reservoir. No, it was very funny.
Speaker 7: It was so funny the things that we did that
Speaker 7: we thought would fix things. Yeah, like if we're all
Speaker 7: going only in one way and no one will get sick.
Speaker 1: Yeah. For pedestrian traffic, yes.
Speaker 7: You could only walk around it like clockwise because they
Speaker 7: thought then you wouldn't be like running into each other.
Speaker 7: It kind of makes sense, but it's pretty silly.
Speaker 6: I point at people like the grim reaper when they Yeah,
Speaker 6: that's so dumb.
Speaker 2: That doesn't that's the.
Speaker 6: Putting hands signed that sanities are on your groceries.
Speaker 2: Right, they closed the beaches, I mean they closed ever
Speaker 2: they didn't know, Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it was very.
Speaker 7: It was and st when someone was near you.
Speaker 6: I was paranoid too, But I when the parks were
Speaker 6: closed and all I was doing was trying to jog
Speaker 6: to up my lung capacity.
Speaker 2: That's how paranoid I was.
Speaker 5: It When I would go under the police tape, I
Speaker 5: mean it's an empty and then I'd run into someone
Speaker 5: else and they would cover their face, and my.
Speaker 7: Surfers were getting like arrested and stuff. It wasn't town.
Speaker 2: Oh wow.
Speaker 7: You know the Chandela chandelier tree, You know that.
Speaker 2: Is exactly what it sounds like.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a house with a tree in front that
Speaker 7: has lots of chandeliers and they have a parking meter
Speaker 7: in front of it where you can feed it to
Speaker 7: donate for their like bill.
Speaker 2: Right at Moby's restaurant.
Speaker 7: Yeah, oh yeah, it's being re tooled into something else.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he needs to save money for his helvetica arm cats.
Speaker 7: This is the right. I like, it's like right here
Speaker 7: in this big tree on the corner there, it is
Speaker 7: full of chandeliers. Oh yeah night they lit up.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, that's great, that's pretty. And look at the
Speaker 2: people that live there. Yeah, they're proud of them. They're
Speaker 2: looking at their chandelier tree.
Speaker 4: They were they on the porch looking at it right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thanks, thank you beautiful he did.
Speaker 6: I waved kindly because he had a real uh so,
Speaker 6: what the fuck way about him?
Speaker 4: He was like, you know what he was doing. He
Speaker 4: was like, we just got off work.
Speaker 1: He's one of those people that wakes up at four
Speaker 1: thirty am to go to work.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So he's like, orange vestunt.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to this bar. Can you please
Speaker 1: not fuck the mast I try to get.
Speaker 4: To this bar.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's important that I stopped drinking by ten. Please move,
Speaker 6: Please get out of my way.
Speaker 2: Speaking reservoirs, this one you are allowed to pee in. No,
Speaker 2: this also has a fence around there. You can't go
Speaker 2: anywhere close to it.
Speaker 1: Everywhere.
Speaker 7: First you pe at my house, then you pee in.
Speaker 2: I'm like a nervous dog.
Speaker 7: Okay. So I brought this up while a coffee was
Speaker 7: being procured, So we're all comedians. Yeah, sometimes you kind
Speaker 7: of try to run jokes by each other. Sure, just
Speaker 7: have an idea for a joke. I've never done it.
Speaker 7: I got a show tonight. Maybe we could talk about it.
Speaker 5: That's one thing this podcast has been missing. Yes, it's
Speaker 5: segments and this now jokes, try and out jokes. It's
Speaker 5: just trying time perfect.
Speaker 7: I'm not going to like do the joke, but I'll
Speaker 7: tell you the idea behind it and you can figure
Speaker 7: it out.
Speaker 1: I think, just really quick, for feelings sake, What is
Speaker 1: the level of honesty you want this feedback to reach.
Speaker 2: I'd like abroorious last for ten minutes a plus break.
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, and no, no, fully honest. This is just
Speaker 7: an I thought there's nothing to it. It's not emotional.
Speaker 7: So well yeah, okay, so my mom just died. I'm
Speaker 7: just kidding. It's like the most personal thing she's alive. No,
Speaker 7: oh good, Okay. So you know, okay, you know how
Speaker 7: people are, Like there's been a discourse online about age
Speaker 7: gap relationships recently. I would say where it's like, you know,
Speaker 7: someone is forty dating a twenty year old, Like, that's
Speaker 7: not okay. I feel like we've woken up to that
Speaker 7: being a little bit icky, right, And I feel like
Speaker 7: that's a conversation that people have had and people are
Speaker 7: kind of aware of it. I kind of want to
Speaker 7: do a joke where I'm talking about that and then
Speaker 7: I act like I'm I don't know exactly how to
Speaker 7: do it, but like I'm just as in sense a
Speaker 7: height gap relationships, Like there's just as an imbalance of
Speaker 7: power there. It needs to be explored.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I like it.
Speaker 7: There's some something there, like a like acting like that's
Speaker 7: equally as reprehensible. Like if you're six foot two and
Speaker 7: your girlfriend is five foot one, what are you doing?
Speaker 7: You creep? Why she need to be so short?
Speaker 5: Yes, I feel like if if because I'm I'm not tall,
Speaker 5: I'm nothing to write home out altitude wise, you are tall,
Speaker 5: So what's your perspective?
Speaker 10: Like it is not joke.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like maybe I wouldn't date someone under five eight
Speaker 7: because you're not like a creepy you know, I'm not discussing.
Speaker 2: I'm not gross.
Speaker 7: You know. It's also rude to her because she's you know,
Speaker 7: she's hurting her neck all the time looking up at you.
Speaker 7: Like that's a bit mean to your partner.
Speaker 1: You know, looking up at you tied up in your trunk,
Speaker 1: tied up in your trunk.
Speaker 2: What we're doing.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because that's what I'm talking because that's what these
Speaker 7: people are doing.
Speaker 1: Rights, they're all the same.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if I have to reach up for everything in
Speaker 2: the house, you have to ride in the trunk.
Speaker 7: I also think it's I also think it's rude because
Speaker 7: it's like, if you're a six ft two guy, you're
Speaker 7: dotting a five foot two girl. That's rude to women
Speaker 7: who are six feet because they need a tall guy, right,
Speaker 7: you know, and that's kind of depriving them of someone
Speaker 7: who's equally you know, someone a little bit taller than them.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot apprehensible about being tall and dating
Speaker 7: someone short.
Speaker 4: This feels more like a social services idea.
Speaker 7: Look, it's not. Maybe it's not the best joke, but
Speaker 7: I think I actually think I can figure out a
Speaker 7: way to do it that will be funny.
Speaker 1: I think you can figure out a way to do
Speaker 1: it on TikTok where you start canceling a bunch of
Speaker 1: people were good ideas.
Speaker 4: Pictures of the hype exactly like this is filthy anyone.
Speaker 7: Pete davidsoned he needs to be ruined for it.
Speaker 2: And at top of the last, Rea Pearlman, she's.
Speaker 7: Been, she's been. Oh is her is her partner tall?
Speaker 2: She's like four inches taller. And Dan that's messed up. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think the same. They are the most perfect.
Speaker 5: I'd never cared about a breakup ever, and when they
Speaker 5: weren't a couple for a few years, I was personally offended.
Speaker 5: And then when they got back together, I did a
Speaker 5: dance in the street.
Speaker 2: And I'll just say I'll just come out and say
Speaker 2: it because it was my idea. This joke segment did
Speaker 2: not work out.
Speaker 7: It totally works. I'll just come out and say it.
Speaker 7: I admit defeat.
Speaker 1: You know, Andrew, here's the thing I think it did,
Speaker 1: because you're there is definitely here's we should say this.
Speaker 4: There's definitely something there. We're not going to figure out
Speaker 4: what to be.
Speaker 7: Right right right.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to get the green thumbs up when
Speaker 6: you say it's something about that.
Speaker 7: You know what, premise wise, there's something there all green lights.
Speaker 7: I'm a big okay, that's true, and and I do
Speaker 7: like it, and I will use it to don't use
Speaker 7: the trunk thing.
Speaker 10: I gotta I got a text from you later. That
Speaker 10: real talk, bro, That's how the text.
Speaker 5: Don't do the trunk thing that gets in the wrong hands.
Speaker 2: I got a jail, I know.
Speaker 5: I I like the prem I just think at the
Speaker 5: end you'd have to surprise people with the height right right,
Speaker 5: rather than I've been thinking about different heights in relations
Speaker 5: to you know, the age.
Speaker 7: And also my be interviewing someone the audience who is
Speaker 7: in a height differential relationship and kind of getting into
Speaker 7: them a little bit and being like, what why are
Speaker 7: you into that you use on the street skills?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I need to just yeah, to just get into
Speaker 2: the audience.
Speaker 5: Well, It's so funny because now I am trying to
Speaker 5: think of ways I can interact with the audience because
Speaker 5: you know, there's world that Matt Rife has.
Speaker 2: Created or people that do a crowd work.
Speaker 5: When someone's good at it, I love it, But to
Speaker 5: force it or have a I'm starting to think I should.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've wanted to do crowd work, but the problem
Speaker 7: is I've never sold a single ticket. So I get
Speaker 7: into it and there's no one out there. It sucks.
Speaker 4: It's really echoe.
Speaker 7: Yeah, crowd I go to the venues right there, I
Speaker 7: am promoting it like.
Speaker 1: You're ready to work that ready?
Speaker 7: Yeah, But it's pretty much the sound guy just saying
Speaker 7: no one's here, And then I go, are you in
Speaker 7: a relationship? What do you do for empty chair?
Speaker 6: May?
Speaker 1: I ask how tall you are?
Speaker 6: You?
Speaker 7: Did you know that there is I won't say who,
Speaker 7: but there is a stand up comedian who, during the pandemic,
Speaker 7: filmed an entire special in his house with no audience
Speaker 7: with a laugh track. I know exactly who you're talking like,
Speaker 7: cut it up and put it up on TikTok, and
Speaker 7: it's like it's like it was written by AI or something.
Speaker 7: It's so bizarre and so weird, and I.
Speaker 5: If it's the person I'm thinking of. They made a
Speaker 5: lot of money off and on Snapchat. I'm not surprised
Speaker 5: by that, and bought a condo. Yeah, like it was
Speaker 5: a business savvy and I don't know, I'm not hating it.
Speaker 5: They try to figure out a way to pivot.
Speaker 7: But when you watch these it's like it is like
Speaker 7: it's written by AI and the audience as AI. It's
Speaker 7: so uncanny and.
Speaker 2: The firs he's open about it and makes fun of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like crazy, But he was.
Speaker 2: An experiment that worked.
Speaker 5: It worked, and I only a comic would watch it
Speaker 5: and go, wait a minute, these laughs, these laughs of
Speaker 5: equal yes, Earth are happening uh so consistently, even when
Speaker 5: something funny.
Speaker 7: What I was like, it's interesting.
Speaker 6: It sounds like the laughs were indeed recorded in that room,
Speaker 6: Like it was like a there was a sound guy,
Speaker 6: they took room tone, it was they produced, and I
Speaker 6: know exactly.
Speaker 2: It's interesting. Everyone's got a pivot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so funny. When we're done recording, we're both
Speaker 5: gonna yell out the name and unison.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: The the laugh track idea is really funny because it
Speaker 1: is this thing of like it's like the person's basically saying, look,
Speaker 1: I wrote this. I'm not gonna be able to like
Speaker 1: rent a theater or get a crowd, so like, fine,
Speaker 1: here is this what you need to like understand my jokes?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Is hearing people respond?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It just was I can tell.
Speaker 5: And there's people I'm not gonna say names either, but
Speaker 5: some of the top comics it seems like they're just
Speaker 5: telling it doesn't matter if the audience.
Speaker 6: It's there, they're done, their eyes are above them.
Speaker 5: They're yelling every joke they're not connecting with a crowd,
Speaker 5: which is what I thrive on. And it seems like
Speaker 5: those are the people that are the most successful. So
Speaker 5: it's like, might as well just tell it to an
Speaker 5: empty room and go to shots from a crowd from
Speaker 5: an old episode of Prices, right, you know?
Speaker 7: And they do not blend together?
Speaker 2: Well no, no, well it dictates my wardrobe by were
Speaker 2: very blurry polyester.
Speaker 1: And the amount of jumping you do, yes, Andrew, when
Speaker 1: you make content, love it? What's your what's your ideal
Speaker 1: content scenario?
Speaker 7: Ideal is to make content once every few months, yea,
Speaker 7: begrudgingly yep, and to gain zero joy from it, steal
Speaker 7: my business plan. That's basically it is. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah,
Speaker 7: I mean being someone trying to promote anything is unbelievably yeah,
Speaker 7: saying endeavor it's and you know, there are certain people
Speaker 7: that don't seem to have a problem with it, and
Speaker 7: I don't get it.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't understand.
Speaker 6: There are just some change I almost want to take
Speaker 6: a class.
Speaker 7: I need to be shameless.
Speaker 6: Well, also, you there are things that I'm one hundred
Speaker 6: percent a fan of, but it's including stand up clips.
Speaker 2: There are there are things that I tune in for.
Speaker 6: And get like Broadway Barbara or whatever, Like, Okay, do
Speaker 6: I need to get a green screen and some equipment
Speaker 6: or at least alter my phone to where it has
Speaker 6: a good lens, like I because.
Speaker 2: I do respect, I know. I just I think I'm
Speaker 2: never going to be that person. I think.
Speaker 5: And I'm pitching you on that's a class that I
Speaker 5: teach where I learn with you and you just come
Speaker 5: over to my house and I steal your ideas because.
Speaker 7: It's it's hot. I don't know, it's like I think
Speaker 7: the thing is, it's like I would say one of
Speaker 7: the quintessential points of being a comedian is some sense
Speaker 7: of self reflection or an understanding of your who you
Speaker 7: are and how you are perceived or something like that.
Speaker 7: But I feel like to be a person creating content
Speaker 7: where you're posting something every day and like really trying
Speaker 7: to get out there, you have to like not have
Speaker 7: that right self reflection, you know what I mean, and
Speaker 7: not be precious about what you're putting out.
Speaker 2: There or whatever. Yeah, even people I.
Speaker 5: Really look up to, they'll put out stuff that's dog
Speaker 5: shit just because it's Thursday.
Speaker 6: I know, they got to put out something. Even the
Speaker 6: sound quality will be bad, but they're is part of
Speaker 6: my class. Make sure the sound is good, but.
Speaker 2: They're succeeding from it. And I know, you know, I
Speaker 2: all power to them whatever.
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 2: I'm with you.
Speaker 7: I find that even when something is doing well, it
Speaker 7: doesn't bring me joy, so I just I've I also
Speaker 7: think everyone's chasing this mercurial thing called relevancy that itself
Speaker 7: doesn't matter.
Speaker 6: Well, you and I both need to recognize that we
Speaker 6: both have wildly popular pod casts with loyal audiences and
Speaker 6: that's our little exactly, and we didn't have to fucking
Speaker 6: hang out in the park and point our phone at
Speaker 6: our face and I'm talking to you.
Speaker 7: Yes, I feel I feel that, And I'm always happy
Speaker 7: to promote my podcast because it feels like it's a
Speaker 7: reflection for people I interview and things that I'm proud of.
Speaker 7: But but yeah, it's hard to stand up, it's hard
Speaker 7: to make front facing camera videos. It's like it's a
Speaker 7: difficult journey, but I do. You're on an Instagram at all, Karen, right,

Speaker 5: But I'm being Devil's advocate because I know that I
Speaker 5: need to change. Yeah, I do like what I've seen.
Speaker 5: And it doesn't have to be Instagram, it just has
Speaker 5: to be all of it.
Speaker 2: YouTube.

Speaker 1: It's hard to escape your own own sense of mental illness.
