Speaker 1: The Nicky Gliser podcastser pos.
Speaker 2: Here's Nikky.
Speaker 1: Hello here, I am welcome to the show. It's a
Speaker 1: Nicky Glazer podcast. Thanks for letting us put out one
Speaker 1: per week the past.
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Uh, listeners, we really appreciate it. But now we're back
Speaker 1: for two.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a while since we've been remote.
Speaker 2: It really has.
Speaker 3: It's been months. I mean, yeah, there's a little bit
Speaker 3: of a delay. So I was watching you snap your
Speaker 3: fingers to the beat of the music, and it just
Speaker 3: looked like you had no rhythm at all.
Speaker 1: That's something actually, I feel like I don't have good
Speaker 1: rhythm because I like I I think I talked about
Speaker 1: it on the podcast before. But when Chris and I
Speaker 1: year ago were really into Guitar Hero, there's like you
Speaker 1: set your guitars, you have to calibrate them, and you
Speaker 1: have to be like do a strum each time the
Speaker 1: circle gets on the other circle and you have to
Speaker 1: do it. And Chris was like laughing really hard because
Speaker 1: I was just could not do it right and couldn't
Speaker 1: do a beat, and I was really nervous. And then
Speaker 1: I watched Whiplash over the weekend, first time I ever
Speaker 1: saw that this weekend.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, that's one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1: Top five Great Taste. It's so good, it's so good.
Speaker 2: I got really mad. Oh my god, whoa.
Speaker 1: I just had a moment where I realized something imagery
Speaker 1: in it, or like a meaning in that I got.
Speaker 1: Can we spoiler alert whiplash for people who haven't seen it?
Speaker 3: We just like fourteen so it's been ten years. I
Speaker 3: think that's a statute.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you can skip bad one minute. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: talk about one minute. Okay, ready, set go.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: First of all, there's some symbolism Chris did not Chris
Speaker 1: knows I hate jump scares, and I do not like
Speaker 1: when he got hit by that car and I said,
Speaker 1: why didn't you tell me?
Speaker 2: And he said, I forgot about it? And I go,
Speaker 2: how would you forget about that? That's a massive part
Speaker 2: of it.
Speaker 3: It's like the least traumatizing thing to happen in the movie.
Speaker 2: Oh I hated it.
Speaker 1: You're right, it really is, but it I just like
Speaker 1: hate things that come out of nowhere. I don't like
Speaker 1: meet Joe Black when he gets hit by that car.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a spoiler because I've never even
Speaker 1: seen the movie. I've just seen that clip.
Speaker 3: I don't even like when there's someone in an elevator
Speaker 3: I'm about to get into Can you just.
Speaker 4: Give like a quick summary of this movie for people
Speaker 4: who don't want to fast forward and don't want to want.
Speaker 1: Miles Teller is going to the best music academy in
Speaker 1: the world in New York.
Speaker 2: It's like a made up one. JK.
Speaker 1: Simmons is the leader of like is the maestro for
Speaker 1: the jazz band that is like the best jazz band
Speaker 1: of all the you know, college students, like grad students,
Speaker 1: I think even in the country. Miles Teller is like
Speaker 1: young He is a drummer, and JK. Simmons is incredibly
Speaker 1: abusive instructor who screams at everyone, calls them, you know,
Speaker 1: the worst words in the world, and belittles them, finds
Speaker 1: information about them, uses it against them. Is just truly
Speaker 1: physically and mentally abusive to the point where it's just
Speaker 1: like you just hate him so much. He's like Bellacaroli
Speaker 1: was to carry a strug, but you look.
Speaker 3: Quite a lot like a leprechaun.
Speaker 1: One of his that was really you do look like
Speaker 1: And he says he's gonna start calling him. No, he says,
Speaker 1: he's gonna call him Flannery. His name's Connolly.
Speaker 3: I mean, what happened? I mean that was also JK Simmons,
Speaker 3: Like he was already famous obviously, but that was truly
Speaker 3: his big, widespread, mainstream break good.
Speaker 1: And he's so ripped in it too. But Miles Teller
Speaker 1: is adorable and like so good. It's just so good.
Speaker 1: So Miles Teller is wanting to be great, and so
Speaker 1: he you know, earns the respect kind of of JK. Simmons,
Speaker 1: but Jake Simmons will give it and then take it
Speaker 1: away like he's not to be trusted. He's such a
Speaker 1: fucking megalomaniac. But he's trying to make them great. And
Speaker 1: one of the things he says, sorry, it's been more
Speaker 1: than a minute, keep going if you don't want any spoilers.
Speaker 1: One of the things he says is about Charlie Bird
Speaker 1: or whoever this this amazing jazz musician. Yeah, only got
Speaker 1: good because someone threw a symbol at his head once
Speaker 1: during a session and almost like chopped off his head.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay, threw a symbol at his head, and
Speaker 1: then that was what made him. He said, if if
Speaker 1: he never threw that symbol at his head. He would have,
Speaker 1: and he just said, a good job. Do you think
Speaker 1: he would have become who he became? We would have
Speaker 1: been starved of that genius that he was if someone
Speaker 1: hadn't pushed him. And then Myles Teller kind of says
Speaker 1: to him like, well, do you think it's ever too far?
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, no, because it's never too far
Speaker 1: because only the greats could survive the what the if
Speaker 1: it's too far, then you're not good enough and the
Speaker 1: true greats can survive any kind of pressure, which is a.
Speaker 3: Sparkani philosophy trial by fire when the Spartans, you know,
Speaker 3: if a baby was born and Sparta and had like
Speaker 3: a deformity or a different color eyes or something, they
Speaker 3: would just throw it off a cliff. What Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: what they did? Really, yes, babies they did.
Speaker 2: Isn't that what happens in like that Midsummer movie?
Speaker 3: Have you seen that?
Speaker 4: Yees?
Speaker 3: Oh Midsmer with an O.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Midsommer, I've only read about it. You've seen it?
Speaker 3: No one, It's one.
Speaker 2: Of my favorites. So booked up right.
Speaker 1: Florence Pugh like goes to this cult and they throw
Speaker 1: old people off a ledge.
Speaker 4: Whoa right, Oh yes, yes, there's like some kind of
Speaker 4: like sacrificial truck.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the bigeld the sacrifice. Well, it's it's been
Speaker 2: a while since I've seen it. The memory had to
Speaker 2: come back.
Speaker 1: What about have you have you seen Hereditary? That's the
Speaker 1: one I only read about and I will never see
Speaker 1: because it's the number one listed on Reddit of any
Speaker 1: kind of thread. That's like, what's the most fucked up
Speaker 1: thing you've ever seen?
Speaker 2: In its? Hereditary?
Speaker 1: And then there's this other French film where a bunch
Speaker 1: of people get raped in a tunnel, and I don't
Speaker 1: even want to talk about that one, but I just
Speaker 1: read these anapsis anyway whip Remember I just remember the
Speaker 1: part what they got bagets.
Speaker 2: In what oh in in France?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you should see what they do with those bagets.
Speaker 1: Someone got bagot in those tunnels. But Whiplash, though, was
Speaker 1: so good. The acting is just next level. The drumming,
Speaker 1: he would learned how to drum himself. But I will
Speaker 1: say at the very I don't even want to give
Speaker 1: it away. If you have to, everyone has to see Whiplash.
Speaker 3: It's it's one of the best movies of all time.
Speaker 1: What I will say is that the reason I wanted
Speaker 1: to watch it is because someone I think with Sean
Speaker 1: or you had said that the ending of Challengers was
Speaker 1: similar to the ending of Whiplash. Yeah, and I really okay,
Speaker 1: that must have been you, because I'm very coded, so yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I'm learning.
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm so glad that you love it because
Speaker 1: I loved it so much too. And and yeah, the
Speaker 1: ending that intrigues me because I loved the ending of Challengers.
Speaker 1: I like, I like an ending to just hit you,
Speaker 1: not like of Jump Scare, but just it it ends,
Speaker 1: and you just got to make up what happens next,
Speaker 1: and it's like you just you don't really know.
Speaker 3: It's like a day New Mam.
Speaker 1: I like a smirk instead of like someone like you know,
Speaker 1: like instead of someone smiling like it all worked out,
Speaker 1: Like I like, like.
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be okay?
Speaker 1: Like you like a Mona Lisa smile of like yeah,
Speaker 1: are they even happy about what's happening? It's all kind
Speaker 1: of inconclusive.
Speaker 3: Same era of film. Did you see Birdman?
Speaker 1: I did see Birdman, and I don't remember anything about
Speaker 1: X with the Flies at the end is that.
Speaker 3: That's the thing. The ending is left open ended because
Speaker 3: it just ends what happened the for.
Speaker 2: It, Like what's it about? Because I don't know.
Speaker 3: That's the thing about Birdman. You sit there and you
Speaker 3: watch Birdman, you leave the theater, you feel traumatized. You
Speaker 3: feel like you've been tense, similar to how Uncut gems
Speaker 3: you like just like felt tense.
Speaker 1: Oh that's why I haven't watched it, because everyone just
Speaker 1: says you're just on edge.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 3: It is interesting because after I saw Birdman for the
Speaker 3: first time, I walked out of the theater and there
Speaker 3: was for some reason, some other person there that I knew,
Speaker 3: so I got to like talk to him about it,
Speaker 3: and I was like, that was incredible. That was like
Speaker 3: one of the best movies I've ever seen. And Yeah,
Speaker 3: if you asked me, like today, what happened in Birdman,
Speaker 3: like I don't know whereas if you asked me today,
Speaker 3: like what happened in like uh uh, like Moana, I'll
Speaker 3: be able to tell you everything that happened. Moment.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen Moana or Mohana too. I know Mona
Speaker 1: two is being sued for like two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars because they apparently maybe have stolen the story.
Speaker 2: That's what I read this morning.
Speaker 1: But I will say, speaking of Michael Keaton, but Michael
Speaker 1: Keaton backstage at the Golden Globes, Emily was filming me
Speaker 1: talking to Harrison Ford because I told her to well,
Speaker 1: I told her just film. I just told her to
Speaker 1: take a picture of me because he was in the
Speaker 1: background and I didn't want to bother him. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be like on the same level
Speaker 1: as everyone who was backstage about to present, but I
Speaker 1: didn't want to like linger by any celebrities that were
Speaker 1: getting ready because I said it last week. I didn't
Speaker 1: want them to like have to say good job to
Speaker 1: me or whatever, even though they did. But Harrison Ford,
Speaker 1: oh I said this, he was like lingering. And then
Speaker 1: Emily did she did we tell the story that she
Speaker 1: was filming me, and then Michael Keaton came up behind her. No,
Speaker 1: Michael Keaton was just like roaming around backstage, very nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he came up behind her, saw that she was
Speaker 1: filming Harrison Ford talking to me, and then zoomed in
Speaker 1: on her screen to film me and Harrison for oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I, and she had no idea who either
Speaker 1: of these people were.
Speaker 2: She thought the importance of either.
Speaker 1: But that was so cool that I have a video
Speaker 1: that that Michael Keaton directed of me and talking to
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford and then the semi comes and hits me,
Speaker 1: and I really didn't appreciate that part of it. But
Speaker 1: also Emily took this amazing picture or video of me
Speaker 1: that I've never had this before, of the moment before
Speaker 1: it happens. But I'm backstage and it's like I'm waiting
Speaker 1: for to walk on stage, and you see me backstage
Speaker 1: walking and like making that turn to like walk out
Speaker 1: the first moment, and it's really cool for me to
Speaker 1: like see it from behind and like see I look
Speaker 1: like really calm. I just am staring at the screen
Speaker 1: waiting for it to say my name, and like I
Speaker 1: just it's it's just it's so fun to watch. And
Speaker 1: I can't post it though because the fires. You can't
Speaker 1: post anything.
Speaker 2: You can't the fires. So I'm waiting to post some stuff.
Speaker 1: I know that I'm not saying that, like like I'm
Speaker 1: a victim or something. Please don't take my words wrong,
Speaker 1: But there's been so much footage I'm sitting on that.
Speaker 1: I'm just like I can't because it's just not the time.
Speaker 3: You'd like sit on it until like next year, is
Speaker 3: like an anniversary post. I know.
Speaker 1: That's what Emily was saying, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: just don't. For me, I'm sorry this is gonna sound
Speaker 1: I need to preface it with like you're being judgmental.
Speaker 1: But a lot of times when I see a year
Speaker 1: ago I did this amazing thing, I'm like, your life's not.
Speaker 3: Going well right now, but no, so let's say.
Speaker 2: Is that bad?
Speaker 1: But anyway, times so once like the month a versary,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you have nothing to you have nothing going on,
Speaker 1: so you have to like tell us about something that happened.
Speaker 2: That's how I feel. I don't even like to bring
Speaker 2: about something a day ago.
Speaker 4: What like when people post stuff from like when they
Speaker 4: were in college or like old photos, I feel like
Speaker 4: they're having like a bad self esteem day for sure.
Speaker 1: And it's like, why am I being judgmental if they
Speaker 1: need that to get to feel better about themselves of
Speaker 1: posting a picture when they used to be twenty pounds lighter,
Speaker 1: or like have better skin or just had things going on,
Speaker 1: Like who am I to be like you're like, because fine,
Speaker 1: just let it, let happen. But I don't like to
Speaker 1: do it because I feel like people are gonna say
Speaker 1: that about me. Really, the only person saying it about
Speaker 1: me is gonna be me.
Speaker 3: No, I think a lot of people would say it.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's just the way it is. The Internet
Speaker 3: is filled with monsters.
Speaker 2: Right exactly.
Speaker 3: But it's a little bit different if it's a year
Speaker 3: from now and you're maybe about to do the same
Speaker 3: thing again and you're just posting people as like a
Speaker 3: ramp up to like remember last year. I think that
Speaker 3: it's a little different. But if you're like posting like
Speaker 3: a year ago to day I was still with my wife,
Speaker 3: then it's pretty sad.
Speaker 1: No, it's like when it's just like anything that is.
Speaker 1: I just there's so much I read into on social media.
Speaker 1: And also I project not only a lot of insecurity
Speaker 1: do I project onto people or like judgment, but I
Speaker 1: project a lot of perfection too, So I think it
Speaker 1: balances out, like I give people a lot more than
Speaker 1: they should get sometimes, and I also take away a
Speaker 1: lot where I go, this is so lame, but who doesn't.
Speaker 1: And by the way, can I just say this about
Speaker 1: like the fires. I mean, whatever I would say about
Speaker 1: them has already been said. It's the most tragic thing ever.
Speaker 1: I can't look at my phone anymore. It's so sad.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessive with the firewatch app just looking at the
Speaker 1: acreage going up devastated for everyone can't even fathom the
Speaker 1: amount of loss and devastation. And it's fucking awful. And
Speaker 1: that goes without being said. I don't think anyone's not
Speaker 1: feeling that way watching it, But anyone, and this has
Speaker 1: also been said a million times, anyone who is like
Speaker 1: these people are rich, who gives a fuck? First of all,
Speaker 1: that's such a dumb thing to say, and I understand
Speaker 1: where it comes from because we are so divided in
Speaker 1: this nation. There's no middle class that we just hate
Speaker 1: the rich. And a lot of times I hate the rich.
Speaker 1: They're all hoarding their wealth. It's whatever. I just have
Speaker 1: to say, you would have that big of a house too,
Speaker 1: if you were rich. This is the thing I don't like,
Speaker 1: is like it's hypocrisy, like these people who get mad
Speaker 1: at me about getting too many Taylor Swift tickets or
Speaker 1: like I've read in some Swifty chats. I'm like, but
Speaker 1: if you could go this many times, wouldn't you? And
Speaker 1: the truth is they they would, and they might say no, actually,
Speaker 1: I would donate my tickets to you know, starving children
Speaker 1: in Africa or whatever they would say, or like swifties
Speaker 1: in need, like there isn't even a place to do
Speaker 1: that too. But guess what you wouldn't You wouldn't fucking
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: So stop.
Speaker 1: I don't until I see examples of that in your
Speaker 1: life in other ways, where you're just giving all the
Speaker 1: time of stuff that you really care about. I don't
Speaker 1: believe you, and so don't don't come at me. What
Speaker 1: was I supposed to do?
Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't get I won't have this
Speaker 2: argument anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I even brought it up again because I've
Speaker 1: said things like this before. But this whole thing of
Speaker 1: like these people being like they're rich, these manch these
Speaker 1: people with mansions, fuck them. Some guy who won the
Speaker 1: lottery won sixty nine million dollars in the lottery, lost
Speaker 1: his house in the Palisades too, bitch, don't you play
Speaker 1: the poor people? Don't you play the lottery a lot?
Speaker 1: And if you won, would you not buy a house
Speaker 1: in the Palisades?
Speaker 2: Probably?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you want. Would you be.
Speaker 2: Sad if it burnt down? Yes?
Speaker 3: Yeah, God, differing, suffering is relative to poor people.
Speaker 2: If they got a billion dollars, would they just not
Speaker 2: spend it? Would they know? What would they do?
Speaker 1: Would they just give it all away? I really want
Speaker 1: to know, because these people that seem to be so
Speaker 1: mad at rich people for being rich, you know, they're
Speaker 1: rich because they're just lucky, right, It's not because you're
Speaker 1: a bad person and they're a good person. They're just
Speaker 1: luckier than you if that's what you wanted in life,
Speaker 1: and so being mad at them about it. Yes, I
Speaker 1: get mad at the rich for not spreading their wealth more,
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't think that their houses deserve
Speaker 1: to burn down. You would buy a house in Malibu
Speaker 1: too if you were a hundred millionaire.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean you should even feel worse for the
Speaker 3: rich people because they had so much more stuff that
Speaker 3: burned up. I mean, it's like ten times worse for
Speaker 3: them all their things.
Speaker 1: It's true, there's so much stuff that burned up. So
Speaker 1: much that is.
Speaker 3: Did you see the video of the guy with his dog?
Speaker 3: Did you post this?
Speaker 4: There is no can't I can't, I can't I can't
Speaker 4: watch the animal stuff.
Speaker 1: I watch people talking about in front of their wreckage,
Speaker 1: talking about what they lost, But if an animal shows up,
Speaker 1: it's sorry.
Speaker 2: It's getting skipped over so.
Speaker 3: Fast, no jump scares here. And this is a happy ending?
Speaker 3: Do you want to hear it?
Speaker 2: Even the happiest So I watched the video.
Speaker 1: I don't even like it handed because the dogs suffered.
Speaker 2: At any point.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I saw one about a cat and the
Speaker 4: cat was in so much distress and you can see
Speaker 4: it on their face that it just like it's not happy.
Speaker 1: And the animal doesn't understand everything's okay now, it's like
Speaker 1: it's still in distress. So to me, animal videos, even
Speaker 1: the Dodo, where it'll show like a starving animal below
Speaker 1: a bridge, and then like, I don't like to see
Speaker 1: it because I think about when it was it was suffering. Sure,
Speaker 1: we all have happy endings because we all fucking die someday,
Speaker 1: So why don't we all just watch heroin footage all
Speaker 1: the time, knowing that it's going to have a happy
Speaker 1: ending where the animal or the human is dead, like truly,
Speaker 1: when death is a sweet release from any suffering. So
Speaker 1: why don't we just everything has a happy ending if
Speaker 1: you really want to talk about that way. But to me,
Speaker 1: videos that are like sad and then have a happy
Speaker 1: ending are not happy videos.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, yeah, I mean, that's that's fair.
Speaker 2: I almost what happened because I want you to.
Speaker 3: Have an adventure. I have another story because I went
Speaker 3: to this one has no animals in it at all,
Speaker 3: but it is fire related. I went to see the
Speaker 3: Clippers game last night because I just had tickets to
Speaker 3: the Clippers game before the fires, and we're like, should
Speaker 3: we go? And we were waiting for to cancel the game.
Speaker 3: They didn't cancel the game. So of my friend to
Speaker 3: the Clippers game, and it's a home game obviously at
Speaker 3: the Intuit Dome. And first of all, it was like
Speaker 3: twenty percent capacity, like there was like nobody there. I
Speaker 3: had the entire road to myself. We had the we
Speaker 3: could take. I could have one row and my friend
Speaker 3: could have the other row behind me if we wanted.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. But the Clippers, well that's with a
Speaker 3: lot of things coming together. One of the things the Clippers,
Speaker 3: who are good, but famously they're not the Lakers. They
Speaker 3: don't have as many fans.
Speaker 2: And named after something associated with toenails.
Speaker 3: That's right, it's it's I don't understand why they're called
Speaker 3: the Clippers, but the Clippers were playing guess who.
Speaker 2: Oh the flick the Miami.
Speaker 3: The Miami Heat, and I was like, this team should
Speaker 3: not even be allowed to come to Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: I know is canceled too, right.
Speaker 3: Yes, oh my god, that's so true. You can't use
Speaker 3: the fire emoji anymore.
Speaker 1: Saying at least is fire when we both agree on
Speaker 1: something like what color should I get? And I'm like
Speaker 1: rat and she's like fire or you know, like and
Speaker 1: last lately she's just been it's been being on sent
Speaker 1: and she goes fox, sorry in the right sleigh, so
Speaker 1: it tills. So you know, there's a serial killer on
Speaker 1: the Loser Slasher. Then she she will go back to fire.
Speaker 3: So the heat coming. And then there's people who are
Speaker 3: Miami Heat fans who live in Los Angeles for walking
Speaker 3: around with literal jerseys that have flames on them, going
Speaker 3: down with la you know, it's like insane that they were.
Speaker 1: They're cheering against l a fire jerseys.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So thankfully the Heat was put out and vanquished
Speaker 3: and the Clippers won the game.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they didn't come in here.
Speaker 1: And just sent a Christ is there right now and
Speaker 1: said the vibes are good. It's he says, it's eerie
Speaker 1: that it seems like you know where he's staying in
Speaker 1: West Hollywood. He feels like, uh, like.
Speaker 3: Ever, it's business as usual, Yeah, pretty much, especially because
Speaker 3: now the air is cleared up. I mean it was
Speaker 3: really smoky.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing instagrams of like it seems like it's okay,
Speaker 1: but it's not. You better put on a mask and
Speaker 1: that mask isn't even good enough. And then Noah on
Speaker 1: our chat said yesterday, if you wear makeup, you got
Speaker 1: to turn take.
Speaker 2: Off your masks.
Speaker 1: Every time you take off a mask, you put on
Speaker 1: a new mask because you got makeup on it. And
Speaker 1: so we are, so what, what's what? And then I
Speaker 1: Lisa Curry was telling me, she I gotta go to
Speaker 1: home depot and get one with a filter on it.
Speaker 1: I'm not even there, and I'm worried.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm not I'm not exercising outside. I'm not
Speaker 3: going to go for a run outside. But like I've
Speaker 3: been going outside to walk Jack without a mask on it. Okay, inside,
Speaker 3: all the windows are closed and I have my air
Speaker 3: filters I have. I have air purifiers into in both
Speaker 3: rooms of my house from the last time there were fires.
Speaker 3: Now we're running. We're just running those and that's that's fine.
Speaker 3: Like when the fires first happened, I was walking Jack
Speaker 3: outside and literally it looked like it was snowing because my.
Speaker 2: God, like nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you never had to evacuate, right, because you.
Speaker 2: Know in Culver City.
Speaker 3: Culver City is has an amazing man made moat around
Speaker 3: it because it's got the four or five and the
Speaker 3: ten and it's really difficult for a fire to jump
Speaker 3: nine lanes of highway.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's interesting. Okay, God damn it.
Speaker 3: It's Rob our friend, our good friend Rob Stern. He
Speaker 3: had to evacuate because.
Speaker 2: He Andrew had to evacuate.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they're probably close to the the fire.
Speaker 1: Girl had to evacuate, Lizzy had to evacuate, Sean had
Speaker 1: to evacuate, Bob had to evacuate, Ian had to evacuate.
Speaker 1: You and Gibbons are kind of the only people I
Speaker 1: know that didn't have to. Our friend Jammy didn't have to,
Speaker 1: Santa Monica, but it's some I would It's like whether
Speaker 1: or not you had to evacuate, how stressful it is
Speaker 1: to be there and just watching the app, wondering if
Speaker 1: there is going to be an ember that.
Speaker 2: Just travels far enough to get you.
Speaker 1: And and by the way, one last thing, when the
Speaker 1: watch Duty app just started like make like everyone starts
Speaker 1: spreading about it, like it starts spreading like something. When
Speaker 1: that started happening, like people were talking about that, because
Speaker 1: I was like, just good.
Speaker 2: I was just going to New York Times like the.
Speaker 1: App to look at the fire stuff and I wasn't
Speaker 1: getting anything. And then I hear about a sunset fire.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to I go, what is this?
Speaker 1: How's everyone getting this information? And someone said you got
Speaker 1: to do the watch Duty app? And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I thought so. For like a day,
Speaker 1: I everyone was putting watch Duty in there, Like you
Speaker 1: know the little bubble you have next to your Instagram
Speaker 1: name that's like a headline. Everyone was putting that right
Speaker 1: or on their Instagram story.
Speaker 2: Watch Duty. I thought Duty was the name of a.
Speaker 1: Show that a bunch of comedians were Oh my, I
Speaker 1: thought it was like a two B show that like
Speaker 1: was some kind of stand up showcase that everyone was on.
Speaker 1: This is so fucking tone deaf that people are telling
Speaker 1: everyone to watch this duty show that all of my
Speaker 1: friends are.
Speaker 2: I was, but I didn't even like really let the
Speaker 2: thought go.
Speaker 1: It just like kind of was there, do you know
Speaker 1: what I mean where you're like you don't even like process, Yes,
Speaker 1: are you see it?
Speaker 3: And you kind of like I thought Evacuate Now was
Speaker 3: a show on CBS, So I didn't pay attention to
Speaker 3: that at all.
Speaker 2: That's a new streamer, that is, But watch Duty.
Speaker 1: I mean, like anytime I see watch anything, Like I
Speaker 1: have so many friends that are in the business. When
Speaker 1: they're saying watch something, it's like they're promoting something. So
Speaker 1: it was it was I really felt dumb that day. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll be back with more after this.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, the fires are sad if.
Speaker 3: You want to so, like, there's a lot of donations happening,
Speaker 3: and there's a lot of good stuff happening, and I think,
Speaker 3: like if you want to donate, you should, Like there's
Speaker 3: a lot of people that are donating clothes and they
Speaker 3: don't They say that they don't need clothes anymore.
Speaker 1: I give you used underwear and like old dirty leggings.
Speaker 1: I hear that that's like the most yea, and baseball
Speaker 1: caps with makeup on it, and then like only shirts
Speaker 1: with deodorant stains that you don't want anymore.
Speaker 2: That you haven't washed.
Speaker 3: Those are that's the people that are watching dumping.
Speaker 1: That stuff are fucking insane, dude, Yeah, insane.
Speaker 2: Okay, so people don't people want new stuff.
Speaker 3: People want new stuff, but you can you know the
Speaker 3: thing that people want most of all. This is what
Speaker 3: I learned from doing Adam ruins everything the people. What
Speaker 3: people need most of all is money. Just give money.
Speaker 3: A lot of these charities they have the infrastructure in place,
Speaker 3: and they just need more money to pay people.
Speaker 1: This thing is to go to just the GoFundMe and
Speaker 1: pick a random family.
Speaker 3: Oh if you can pay for them in full?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, just like pick a random family and don't like,
Speaker 1: don't scatter your donation to like random families.
Speaker 4: Everyone donates like twenty brush.
Speaker 1: When I go to these here's a problem with GoFundMe.
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I should say this, because
Speaker 1: now I'm second guessing everything I say because i feel
Speaker 1: like I've seen some things that I've said recently taken
Speaker 1: out of context, and I seem like a monster.
Speaker 2: But let me be careful about this.
Speaker 1: When I go to gofundmes to donate, sometimes I am
Speaker 1: so stressed out that I'm not giving enough based on
Speaker 1: people I see in the GoFundMe who have given more
Speaker 1: than me that I can't. I don't want to post
Speaker 1: as me because I don't. I've already known my limit
Speaker 1: is going to be five hundred dollars, yet other comedians
Speaker 1: are doing fifteen hundred, and I've already said to myself,
Speaker 1: I can't do more than like I'm given a lot,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not going to give fifteen hundred just because
Speaker 1: this other comedian did, right, And so then I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: i'll post a non I'll just give it anonymously. And
Speaker 1: then I don't want to because then the person doesn't
Speaker 1: know that I gave it.
Speaker 4: They do, They do because you have to put your email,
Speaker 4: so the person who is hosting the fun and they.
Speaker 1: Know I didn't give a name, and then I just
Speaker 1: don't give. That's that's nuts.
Speaker 2: And I don't think of amorosity.
Speaker 1: Much, but there is something to it where you're like,
Speaker 1: she could give more. So sometimes I just won't give
Speaker 1: because I feel like people will think, oh, she only
Speaker 1: gave five hundred we know what she makes for things,
Speaker 1: she should give so much more.
Speaker 3: And then I just don't give because I'd.
Speaker 1: Rather them think that I didn't see it. Then I
Speaker 1: didn't give enough. Isn't that I know that that's bananas. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I have to I know that I'm not alone,
Speaker 1: and I'm not a bad person for thinking that. I
Speaker 1: know that people don't tip like, people don't give gifts anonymously.
Speaker 2: People want credit for it.
Speaker 1: I have done that a lot in my life, but
Speaker 1: this isn't every time for me. By the way, this
Speaker 1: maybe once or twice I've noticed that I just didn't
Speaker 1: I'll I go I just need to think about it more.
Speaker 2: I'll don't.
Speaker 1: I'll wait until I'm ready to give more, or I'll
Speaker 1: just forget about it, and if it's important enough, I'll
Speaker 1: go back and do it. But there have been times
Speaker 1: where I just don't don't do it because I just
Speaker 1: would rather give zero than have someone think she's cheap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's say something that there's got
Speaker 3: to be a way around on that. Maybe if you
Speaker 3: just give to one person and like, like I think
Speaker 3: what would be cool for you to do is to
Speaker 3: find one family, like instead of donating five hundred dollars
Speaker 3: to ten different families to find one and give them
Speaker 3: all of it and say that's my Like, like, there
Speaker 3: was this thing going around where JJ Reddicks, who's a
Speaker 3: basketball player, his his house burned down and his children
Speaker 3: lost on all of their I thought he's a coach.
Speaker 3: Maybe he's a coach now, well, coach of the Lakers.
Speaker 3: Former player, Now he's a coach. He's the coach of
Speaker 3: the Lakers. Now. Holy, So I'm not really, I'm not.
Speaker 3: I'm much more NFL caught up in the NBA place right. Yes, wow,
Speaker 3: so he's the coach of the Lakers. Excellent job. I
Speaker 3: think it's time you can be on the halftime show now. Yes,
Speaker 3: So his house burned down and his children lost their
Speaker 3: like jersey collection, and there they had like a jersey
Speaker 3: collection they've been amassing over like the course of going
Speaker 3: all the NBA games, and at the game, at the
Speaker 3: game last night or two nights ago, the two teams
Speaker 3: playing as the Lakers and somebody else, they said, no
Speaker 3: matter who wins, I think it was the Spurs, no
Speaker 3: matter who wins, we're going to give these kids, uh
Speaker 3: signed jerseys and so they can restart their collection, and
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, you could argue that like these kids
Speaker 3: are you know, they don't you need They already were
Speaker 3: privileged to have signed jerseys from all these NBA players.
Speaker 3: Do they need more jerseys? But it's really like give
Speaker 3: to people that you give what you can to people
Speaker 3: that are that you care about, and it just it
Speaker 3: doesn't matter how big or how little you just it's
Speaker 3: more make it more personal. I think if you because
Speaker 3: everybody knows somebody, if you ever lived in La, everybody
Speaker 3: knows somebody who got affected by the fires, and you
Speaker 3: have the ability to help someone you actually know, as
Speaker 3: opposed to helping somebody you know. It's nice to get
Speaker 3: obviously donate the charity. We all donate the charity, but
Speaker 3: in this instance, these gofundmes are just like you probably
Speaker 3: know several people who, like you've like had lunch with
Speaker 3: who their house burned down, and so to be able
Speaker 3: to help them, I think would be the way to go.
Speaker 1: So many people that I spoke to the day before
Speaker 1: their house burnt down, like I some you know, celebrities
Speaker 1: were reaching out to me to say good job, or
Speaker 1: you know I met them on the red carpet, like
Speaker 1: Mario Lopez I talked to two days before his house
Speaker 1: burned down. Jamie Lee Curtis had been texting me the
Speaker 1: day before or you know, dming me. I was like,
Speaker 1: Harrison Ford I saw him evacuating. I'm like, it's so
Speaker 1: crazy to have been so close to these people who
Speaker 1: were so close to the biggest tragedy of their lives.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it's the biggest one of their lives. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's it's nuts how close it is to everyone. And
Speaker 1: you see the list of celebrities and and even you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just there's so many people that
Speaker 1: are and everyone's so sweet when they posted about their
Speaker 1: house down and they're like, I want to just focus
Speaker 1: on the fact that everyone's safe, and it seems people
Speaker 1: are really grounded, and it is, you know, just things,
Speaker 1: but like, what would you guys say, Have you guys
Speaker 1: like kind of thought about what you would save, like
Speaker 1: if you'd minutes to flee, because it's kind of made
Speaker 1: me think about.
Speaker 3: That, what I would say for my apartment, Well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that isn't a living animal.
Speaker 3: Ali and I were looking around the house because we
Speaker 3: were like we might have to evacuate. What would we
Speaker 3: take should we prepare our cars? And we were looking
Speaker 3: around and this is the joy. One of the few
Speaker 3: benefits of being a millennial is that we're looking around
Speaker 3: and we're like, there's literally not a single thing in
Speaker 3: this apartment that couldn't be replaced or isn't saved on
Speaker 3: a cloud somewhere. Yeah, Like, I don't think there's anything
Speaker 3: in here. Like all the pictures we have those on
Speaker 3: the cloud. We printed those off off Shutterstock. Even our
Speaker 3: wedding photos are in a cloud, Like, uh, you have
Speaker 3: these little knickknacks that who gives a shit? Like books,
Speaker 3: like it doesn't mater the heirlooms, Yeah, I guess they're
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't even really have heirlooms. I have
Speaker 3: one stock that was the first stock issue to my grandfather.
Speaker 2: I don't have any heirlooms either. They haven't reached me yet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and no one to.
Speaker 4: Ring from my grandmother. That's what i'd save And okay,
Speaker 4: hat and a bottle of water or something in.
Speaker 2: A bottle of water.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would get like my medicine, because that's so
Speaker 1: fucking hard to Every time I go to get my medicine,
Speaker 1: it's always it's delayed. So I already have to like
Speaker 1: ration it out, and so I would get a bottle
Speaker 1: of medicine, and then I would get save.
Speaker 3: Your medicine because one day you're gonna have to pass
Speaker 3: that medicine down to your children and grandchildren.
Speaker 2: I would get.
Speaker 1: Like, so I think there's some probably some clothing that
Speaker 1: I would be like, oh, that's like been special to
Speaker 1: me for a really long time. And then like, really,
Speaker 1: you're right, Brian, Like I think I in my pillow
Speaker 1: that is I really like because no matter where I
Speaker 1: would go, I would want that and my my eyemask.
Speaker 3: Because I can't sleep, you could.
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about what I'm going to do this way,
Speaker 1: you know, until I get to the next door, like
Speaker 1: it might be till tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Your evacuation Shrek gets sleep. I'm just like packing for
Speaker 3: a weekend trip.
Speaker 1: Really, I would it is nice that things are replaceable.
Speaker 1: And there were so many people I was watching their
Speaker 1: stories of like kids drawings and things like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get like, I think that's maybe is that we
Speaker 1: we all. I'm gonna not finish the sentence. I was
Speaker 1: going to say.
Speaker 3: If my kids drawings burned up, because then you know,
Speaker 3: it's like.
Speaker 2: You don't tell me you like them. I actually saw
Speaker 2: the service where you can send all of your kid's
Speaker 2: art and then.
Speaker 1: They put it in a book you on Instagram. I
Speaker 1: think that they're trying to push that right now because
Speaker 1: they're like worried about losing it.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Yeah, No, there's going to be a
Speaker 3: lot of people trying to take advantage. There's gonna be
Speaker 3: fake gofundmes without a doubt. I mean, there's no no
Speaker 3: one's gonna be able to really check like if you
Speaker 3: actually had your house burned down. There's so many people
Speaker 3: who lost their houses that like, what are you gonna say, Like, oh,
Speaker 3: you're you're gonna question that, and you're gonna start sending
Speaker 3: stuff out to people in Ohio. But I think there's
Speaker 3: another thing that needs to be discussed that is like
Speaker 3: infuriating about about this whole situation, and that is the
Speaker 3: amount of and I'm gonna say it's all Republicans. It's
Speaker 3: all like mostly religious people who are shitting on California
Speaker 3: saying that we deserve the fires, saying that we had
Speaker 3: it coming. I mean, those people truly should burn in
Speaker 3: hell because they they they act like because of like
Speaker 3: the people that we elected governor or because of the
Speaker 3: because we have abortion here, that we brought this upon ourselves,
Speaker 3: because we care about the environment, that we brought this
Speaker 3: upon ourselves. And I just think that's like some of
Speaker 3: the most vile. That's like the most vile any of that.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's I see a lot of it.
Speaker 3: I guess I follow a more middle of the road
Speaker 3: cross section of America.
Speaker 2: That's so upsetting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's upsetting.
Speaker 1: I've seen people doing what you're doing and talking to it,
Speaker 1: but I haven't seen it. I think I've probably just
Speaker 1: avoided it. I can't stand anything from that side.
Speaker 3: It's like it makes me mad because these people claim
Speaker 3: to love America more than anything, and it's like California
Speaker 3: is part of America and to shit all over California
Speaker 3: is shitting on America. So you can't love America if
Speaker 3: you say, well, California, New York, Washington, and Oregon are
Speaker 3: pieces of shit, Like you have to either you can
Speaker 3: either love the country. You cannot love the country, but
Speaker 3: you can't claim to love it and then say but
Speaker 3: not California because people vote Democrat.
Speaker 2: I really Lisa Curry had a good post.
Speaker 1: She's been posting some funny stuff amidst all this horror
Speaker 1: but doing it in a really like tonally like perfect way.
Speaker 1: But she was talking about like if you if I
Speaker 1: tell you that I'm struggling in the fires and that
Speaker 1: I live in LA, and you say I could never
Speaker 1: live in LA, don't fucking say that to me. Like
Speaker 1: this whole thing of people being like, oh, I could
Speaker 1: never live in California. Same same about a bullshit of like,
Speaker 1: oh California. Same people said stuff about that, like whenever
Speaker 1: you live in LA or New York. There's a whole
Speaker 1: swath of swath of people who always have to mention
Speaker 1: when talking to you about it, I could never live there.
Speaker 2: And the truth is you couldn't cause you're pussy.
Speaker 3: You do.
Speaker 1: You want too so bad, but you have to like
Speaker 1: make it seem horrible because you kind of are embarrassed
Speaker 1: that you couldn't live there.
Speaker 2: That's what's going on there.
Speaker 1: If you have to verbal aze that you and maybe
Speaker 1: it's fine that you couldn't live there. It is a
Speaker 1: tough city, but why do you have to tell us
Speaker 1: that it's so lame?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: And else it's because you're jealous. It honestly is coming
Speaker 1: from and I know you're gonna be like, no, it's not.
Speaker 1: It just seems like a terrible city. Then why say it.
Speaker 1: No one else says that about your city, Like no
Speaker 1: one says to I can never live in Iowa. I can,
Speaker 1: like because we know that it's like a mean thing
Speaker 1: to say. But because La and New York are cool,
Speaker 1: you get to shit all over them. It's like this
Speaker 1: protective thing where people get to shit on things if
Speaker 1: they're cool.
Speaker 2: Right. It's the same way when.
Speaker 1: Women talk about guys having small penis is. They know
Speaker 1: they can do it because no one's ever gonna go, hey,
Speaker 1: I have a small penis, so they just get to
Speaker 1: do it all the time.
Speaker 2: It's like this.
Speaker 1: People find a way to shit on things that they
Speaker 1: can get away with, and La and New York are
Speaker 1: one of those things.
Speaker 4: Also, Like in this particular moment, it's kind of it's
Speaker 4: just like a huge pet peeve of mine when people
Speaker 4: take something and they just make it about themselves. And
Speaker 4: in this situation, when someone's like going through so much
Speaker 4: suffering that you would make it about your desires and
Speaker 4: where you'd live and you won't live and stuff like
Speaker 4: that's so tone deaf.
Speaker 3: Yes. Do you know the comedian Solomon Georgio. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: posted this great thing. Can I play it? It's like
Speaker 3: the ten seconds. Yeah. I don't know if you'll be
Speaker 3: able to hear it, but let me try.
Speaker 5: Of all the shit talking people do about Los Angeles,
Speaker 5: let's be real. This city can be literally on fire.
Speaker 5: The wind can be trying to blow me away. Sometimes
Speaker 5: the earth shakes beneath me. But I still don't want
Speaker 5: to live where you live.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny because people know that it's a tough
Speaker 1: city to live in, NIX because it's expensive, you know,
Speaker 1: the probably the coolest most like go get a person
Speaker 1: from your high school, probably moved there, and you loved
Speaker 1: it when they failed eventually, because you don't have the
Speaker 1: balls to do it, and maybe you don't want the
Speaker 1: balls to do it. But if you're if you're shitting
Speaker 1: all over LA or New York and you when you
Speaker 1: meet someone from there, you go, I could never live there.
Speaker 1: No one cares, And we know you couldn't. We already
Speaker 1: know because you're not there, because you would be. Because
Speaker 1: they are very cool cities, especially in New York. Let
Speaker 1: me just say that I think this is mainly in
Speaker 1: New York thing. I think LA some people probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to live there, but New York. Everyone should want
Speaker 1: to live in New York at some point. It's the
Speaker 1: coolest fucking city ever. And the reason you don't is
Speaker 1: because it's it's too busy for you and.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't last.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not because you have like you're cooler than
Speaker 1: it or something. It's so annoying. And now I'm making
Speaker 1: it about me by saying that.
Speaker 4: But well, yeah, I like being back in Saint Louis.
Speaker 1: I got that back yesterday. It's snow, so much snow,
Speaker 1: but it's too cold to melt, but it's the sun
Speaker 1: is beaming on it, so it's frozen, so it's just
Speaker 1: frozen snow. It's not even fun snow. It's just you're
Speaker 1: walking on ice everywhere you go. Chris, is it here?
Speaker 2: I'm alone? Is it weird to be back at home?
Speaker 4: I mean, it's what a parallel?
Speaker 2: Uh. I did not want to be in LA.
Speaker 1: We were in Hawaii and we were gonna, like, you know,
Speaker 1: I was even gonna to get to Saint Louis. I
Speaker 1: was gonna fly through LA. And I said, no, I
Speaker 1: don't even want to touch down in the city. I'm
Speaker 1: I talk about making about myself. I just am too
Speaker 1: depressed to even I don't want to look out the window.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see people who look sad. I
Speaker 2: just I can't handle it. I just don't.
Speaker 1: I was just I don't want to have a chance
Speaker 1: of the plane not getting out and I have to
Speaker 1: stay the night there, Like Chris is fucking there. Chris
Speaker 1: like chose to go back. I'm like, I what I'm
Speaker 1: doing to saddened by it? He's editing the Joan Rivers
Speaker 1: thing he shot back in November.
Speaker 3: So well, the one thing that's positive about LA right
Speaker 3: now is I don't know if you were if you
Speaker 3: recall post nine to eleven, you were.
Speaker 2: Insane, say it.
Speaker 3: There is a small amount of camaraderie in the streets
Speaker 3: amongst strangers, like if you go to a restaurant, like
Speaker 3: everyone's kind of talking about it, and there is a
Speaker 3: kindness that you know. LA has never been known for
Speaker 3: being people being mean, but it so it's not a
Speaker 3: stark of a contrast as it was in New York,
Speaker 3: when like people start to be nice all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: it's like what, But La, it is people. There are
Speaker 3: people just like kind of there's more kindness in the
Speaker 3: in the in the general public.
Speaker 1: I could, I could see how that would be nice,
Speaker 1: and I did, and Chris did say, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like like he's out in the stre like
Speaker 1: walking around, going to restaurants, like everything seems in business.
Speaker 2: I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just it's the way I don't want to
Speaker 1: look at footage of dogs being rescued.
Speaker 2: I just don't.
Speaker 1: It's too sad, like I just want to avoid sadness.
Speaker 1: And maybe it's selfish, but I just told my assistant.
Speaker 1: I was like, get me back from Hawaii to Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: and I please change my flight.
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to go through LA. I'm
Speaker 2: too scared.
Speaker 3: And so I worked at you.
Speaker 2: I flew all the way to Atlanta from Hawaii. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It actually was like the shortest flight of all the ones,
Speaker 1: even the ones through LA that were offered.
Speaker 3: It was like, well, left from Hawaii all the way
Speaker 3: to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then to Saint Louis was shorter than a
Speaker 1: lot of I think it was like on par with
Speaker 1: some from LA, but shorter than like San Francisco or
Speaker 1: Dallas or anything like that. Yeah, I did a Red
Speaker 1: Eye and guess what I watched on the flight. I'm
Speaker 1: like trying to watch more movies because I want to
Speaker 1: make a movie. So I'm trying to like get back
Speaker 1: into movies and seeing what I like and seeing what
Speaker 1: I don't. And I've also I just feel like I'm
Speaker 1: not reading books right now, and I need to like
Speaker 1: consume things that make me feel a lot.
Speaker 2: And and I had some time.
Speaker 1: I had a week off, so we consumed some movies
Speaker 1: Whiplash and then the one movie that I read on
Speaker 1: a oh, it was like a Instagram post. I even
Speaker 1: put it on the girl's Chat. It was an Instagram
Speaker 1: post that said after I will after you, what movie
Speaker 1: for you when you turned it off? Made you stare
Speaker 1: at the wall for five minutes and question everything? And
Speaker 1: I sent it to the girls chat being like, which
Speaker 1: one was this for you?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 1: I forget what all of you said, but I remember
Speaker 1: the number one comment underneath this one was Interstellar, and
Speaker 1: I'd never seen Interstellar. I asked Chris about it because
Speaker 1: it seemed like something that had a lot of like
Speaker 1: destruction and suspense and maybe like aliens and like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, fire and shooting, but he said it wasn't.
Speaker 1: So I watched that on the plane and I don't
Speaker 1: really know that. It didn't leave me staring at anything.
Speaker 1: It left me staring at my phone. It was Timothy
Speaker 1: shalam Is in it. I loved seeing him. I Jessica
Speaker 1: Schastain gorgeous, amazing. I loved you know, Matthew McConaughey. I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened. It feels like it felt like
Speaker 1: what's the inception?
Speaker 3: To me?
Speaker 1: I had to I had to read a synopsis of
Speaker 1: it to understand.
Speaker 3: A lot of the concepts and Interstellar because that came
Speaker 3: out in like twenty twelve, yeah, fourteen. A lot of those.
Speaker 2: Contents you want to know about it, I can tell you, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well it's been it's been well trodden now. It was.
Speaker 3: It was groundbreaking at the time, and I really I
Speaker 3: don't even think it was so groundbreaking at the time
Speaker 3: because of like Star Trek and uh.
Speaker 2: They have like wirdholes and stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like since Interstellar came out, like even in just
Speaker 3: like cartoons like Rick and Morty like this, these cons
Speaker 3: and like the Multiverse with with Marvel like this stuff
Speaker 3: has now become almost like overdone, whereas when Interstellar came out,
Speaker 3: it was like right at the beginning, when we were
Speaker 3: like when it was coming mainstream to talk about these types.
Speaker 1: Of I need more movies like this. I want more
Speaker 1: movies that leave me staring at a blank wall? What
Speaker 1: does that conjure? Any movie for you both that like
Speaker 1: left you going like WHOA?
Speaker 3: Well? I thought Birdman was that. Now I can't even
Speaker 3: remember what happened. It was about some kind of play.
Speaker 3: I just remember there's a play and then he shot.
Speaker 3: I mean I I yeah, I thought Birdman whiplash. I mean,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, he was an actor. That's right, Birdman, Right,
Speaker 3: he was an actor in Birdman. Yeah, movies that made
Speaker 3: me like question, like the world or.
Speaker 1: Just like making made you just you turned it off
Speaker 1: and you like couldn't speak or you were just like whoa,
Speaker 1: what did I just watch?
Speaker 2: Kind of thing? I didn't And I remember having that
Speaker 2: feeling about.
Speaker 1: Maybe American Beauty when I first saw it in like
Speaker 1: eighth grade. I think now even that would probably get me.
Speaker 1: Is that Kevin Spacey, Oh yes, Kevin Spacey working out
Speaker 1: in a garage. Annette Benning slapping herself yeah, who is
Speaker 1: also in I had not seen him since American Unity,
Speaker 1: and they shows up an Intertellar and he looks the same.
Speaker 2: It was probably like twenty five year difference of those
Speaker 2: two movies.
Speaker 3: Whoa, he looked great.
Speaker 1: He died in the title wave an Interstellar though spoiler alert.
Speaker 1: Oh and Matt Damon shows up. I mean Interstellar people
Speaker 1: just started showing up tofer Grace suddenly is there. Matt
Speaker 1: Damon gets unzipped and he suddenly come out of this
Speaker 1: fucking cryogenic chamber.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know he was in it. I was like,
Speaker 2: that's Damon. Yeah, nuts, Actually we were chicking it. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: oh Anne Hathaway. I was like, what Ann Hathaway in
Speaker 2: this movie?
Speaker 1: I could not believe how star studded Interstellar was. And
Speaker 1: then a young a timo.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, smote. That was back when movies were movies,
Speaker 3: you know, like when you could just like pack things
Speaker 3: with stars and everyone would go see it.
Speaker 4: Uh, Elysium, elium, Matt Damon, no outer stuff.
Speaker 3: Big though you didn't like it. I had pile of shit, right,
Speaker 3: never even heard of that.
Speaker 2: How do these movies? I was like trying.
Speaker 1: I'm like going through Netflix and Hulu and looking for movies,
Speaker 1: and I go, what is this goddamn movie that has
Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Harrison, for Like, there are movies
Speaker 1: that have so many stars in it that like what
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight I have never even heard of.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I just.
Speaker 2: Can't only hear that movies from friends.
Speaker 4: I have no idea what movies are out, Like you
Speaker 4: guys will talk about movies and then I'll go look
Speaker 4: at them.
Speaker 2: See the Last Show Girl.
Speaker 1: I mean I saw all the movies, almost all the
Speaker 1: movies for Golden Globes. I didn't see The Brutalist, even
Speaker 1: though I hear that's the one that's like you gotta see.
Speaker 1: But I loved Honora I Amelia.
Speaker 2: Perez choose your Own Adventure for that one.
Speaker 1: That one's crazy, that just deserves to be watched because
Speaker 1: you you can't believe what it is there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's you.
Speaker 2: It's so it's entertaining.
Speaker 3: It's visually interesting, compelling it The songs are interesting. They're
Speaker 3: not like patchy pop songs, but like I am, you
Speaker 3: do kind of get them stuck in your head for
Speaker 3: a little bit because they're so offbeat.
Speaker 2: Yes, a complete lady.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a complete unknown amazing the story. I don't
Speaker 1: really know whatever, but performances a plus. Night Bitch that's
Speaker 1: a skip for me. But Amy Adams incredible. Scoot McNairy.
Speaker 1: Don't even get me started on mister Scoot McNairy because
Speaker 1: I am obsessed with him. I was watching Night Bitch
Speaker 1: and I'm in bed with Chris and I'm watching it
Speaker 1: on my laptop and I'm like, this actor, I really
Speaker 1: like him, and Chris is like okay, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I showed him because I didn't want Chris to be like, well,
Speaker 1: she's just like horning out for a guy because he's
Speaker 1: not like a very like obviously hot dude.
Speaker 2: But there is a hotness to Scoop McNairy.
Speaker 1: He's the husband on Night Bitch, and Amy Adams is
Speaker 1: incredible in it.
Speaker 2: It's it's just it wasn't for me. I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. I just don't want her.
Speaker 1: I didn't want her turning into a dog. I liked
Speaker 1: everything else. I love seeing the struggle of motherhood. I
Speaker 1: thought it was important when we start talking about women
Speaker 1: being beasts and like being part of the earth and
Speaker 1: we need to rise up because we are the earth.
Speaker 1: I'm just like I check out. I just I don't
Speaker 1: like anything spiritual or like mythical.
Speaker 2: I'm just not into it. It's not for me. But
Speaker 2: I know so many people who love Night Pitch.
Speaker 3: But the performance is one of several movies that came
Speaker 3: out this year where a woman turns into a dog.
Speaker 1: Yes, the other one being a Baby Girl, which I did.
Speaker 1: I did like Baby Girl, but more than Night Bitch,
Speaker 1: but a night Bitch. There were parts of it I
Speaker 1: really love.
Speaker 2: Did you see Night Pitchy Night Bitch?
Speaker 3: I didn't you see?
Speaker 2: You to see it? No, because you're a new mom.
Speaker 2: You need to see it.
Speaker 3: You got to learn how to unleash the beast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just just really captures being a mom.
Speaker 2: But you also, like are a mom.
Speaker 1: You're already living it like you it's you're not gonna
Speaker 1: learn anything new about how hard it is to be mom.
Speaker 1: It's good for me to see to be like whoa God?
Speaker 2: That is rough?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like that's like saying to Nicola, you should watch
Speaker 3: a movie about like a touring comedian.
Speaker 1: But I kind of want to see that because you
Speaker 1: kind of want to see what your life you like.
Speaker 1: It's kind of cool to see your life in cinema,
Speaker 1: So maybe you should see cinema.
Speaker 3: What what what movies that have comedians in it? Have
Speaker 3: you seen that You're like, like there was, like I
Speaker 3: like Comedy Joker. Joker was really solid king of comedy.
Speaker 1: But I liked Punchline, even though I don't think that
Speaker 1: was a represent good representation.
Speaker 2: Funny People.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, God, I remember Funny People.
Speaker 1: Because he nailed it because he's a comedian. Sure, you know,
Speaker 1: I felt like that was pretty good.
Speaker 3: Was top five Chris Rocks movie? Yes, I don't think.
Speaker 2: I like that movie. Yeah he was, I think so
Speaker 2: that was good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I recommend a Complete Unknown the most. I recommend
Speaker 1: Anora very very much like.
Speaker 3: A scupaking comedy movie, Like it restored my faith in
Speaker 3: the ability of people to make comedies that are successful.
Speaker 1: It wasn't totally a comedy though, like I'm sorry it's
Speaker 1: It wasn't like a broad comedy like Old School or
Speaker 1: you know, this is forty or train Wreck, like I
Speaker 1: want that back. Can we we bring those back?
Speaker 2: And can those be.
Speaker 3: Maybe they just don't make any money, Like we learned
Speaker 3: this from Popstar, which was one of the best comedy
Speaker 3: movies of all time? They just don't. People don't want.
Speaker 2: To go to go to break?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 1: Why does everyone want to see big robots throwing things
Speaker 1: at each other on a cliff, and like a big
Speaker 1: dinosaurs biting legs of other dinosaurs, Like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: why do.
Speaker 2: We want to see?
Speaker 1: Then with blue heads and like one eye shooting a laser. Oh,
Speaker 1: and then all these people turning into zombies and like
Speaker 1: marching in unison and then like why what everyone wants
Speaker 1: to see? People want to laugh? Why don't they want
Speaker 1: to like fall in love? Why don't they want to
Speaker 1: watch people like have a meat cute? Like what happened?
Speaker 1: Like I don't understand it?
Speaker 3: Like what?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 1: But because don't women enjoy things? Because women are not
Speaker 1: enjoying laser beams?
Speaker 3: Women want to see movies about women turning into dogs
Speaker 3: and getting finger No, they don't.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what women want. But like I
Speaker 1: like superhero movies. Do women I think women do like them?
Speaker 1: I'm not saying some women like it's but does she
Speaker 1: like them as much?
Speaker 2: As like a rom com?
Speaker 3: I have the answer to your question.
Speaker 1: We like a really funny like like when Harry met
Speaker 1: Sally I'm not talking about like Lose a guy in
Speaker 1: Ten Days rom com I'm sorry, made in Manhattan.
Speaker 2: Respect all the women in those movies.
Speaker 1: They suck, They're bad dialogue, they're dumb scenarios. When Harry
Speaker 1: met Sally, you've got male. I'm talking Nora Ephron levels
Speaker 1: of romantic comedies.
Speaker 2: Why aren't those being made?
Speaker 1: Like, let me get some of those, or a least
Speaker 1: complicated a Nancy Myers like. That's where we need to
Speaker 1: bring things back. I don't want Sweet Home Alabama. I
Speaker 1: don't want legally Blonde.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I know everyone loves legally Bond. I didn't
Speaker 2: like it. Why, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think that sometimes when things
Speaker 1: are made for women, they're dumbed down so much. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure it happens with men too, with superhero movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're dove down for men too.
Speaker 1: That's why the robots, That's why I liked Whiplash. It
Speaker 1: respected my intelligence, but it wasn't like over my head.
Speaker 3: I just want to see a movie where a big
Speaker 3: monster comes out of the sea.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: All that happens in these movies, but people love it.
Speaker 1: People love to see like an arm turn into a
Speaker 1: machine and like a guy and then he throws a.
Speaker 3: Rock and then maybe he gets in to a car,
Speaker 3: gets to a.
Speaker 2: Car, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: And then okay, wait, we gotta go and break and
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna come back with my biggest pet peeve.
Speaker 2: In movies of all time.
Speaker 1: Final thought. Okay, this is something I can't handle in movies,
Speaker 1: and it happens. It happens in comedies too. It happened
Speaker 1: in Barbie, and it stressed me out, and it always
Speaker 1: stresses me out so much when cars go like when
Speaker 1: there's a skid mark, when cars like when when like
Speaker 1: there's a rough turn and it kind of like comes
Speaker 1: up on or it like goes over a lege, it
Speaker 1: goes boom boom, and the axle gets all fucked up.
Speaker 1: It's like, why are we fucking up cars? And like
Speaker 1: putting these machines that are like hand crafted, some of
Speaker 1: them handcrafted even like just they cost thousands of thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars and we're going like boo boo and like
Speaker 1: driving them so shitty. I don't like things going like
Speaker 1: er like. I don't like when things are damaged in movies.
Speaker 1: I don't like damage, and I certainly don't like it.
Speaker 2: In cars. There's a scene where she's.
Speaker 1: Like being chased by Mattel and they like grow over
Speaker 1: this ledge in the car. You can just tell that
Speaker 1: cars shittier now because of that one scene, And it's like,
Speaker 1: did we really need that?
Speaker 2: Like why can't people just drive fast? Fast?
Speaker 1: Is different than liker and like going over Like I
Speaker 1: think my dad got in my head that like the
Speaker 1: axle being fucked up and your alignment being sucked up
Speaker 1: is like there's nothing worse. It'll ruin the tires immediately,
Speaker 1: and then you have to take it to the mechanic,
Speaker 1: which I just too today, and it takes so much time.
Speaker 1: Even though they were they had me in and out
Speaker 1: as quickly as they could. It just is like, why
Speaker 1: do we need to see that all the time? Why
Speaker 1: do men like seeing cars go over curbs so fucking much?
Speaker 2: And with a car?
Speaker 3: I don't think we should have chase scenes anymore.
Speaker 2: An action movie, That's what That's what I'm talking Yet.
Speaker 3: It's the most boring part of every action movie is
Speaker 3: the chase scene because they've they've done it so many times.
Speaker 3: We've all seen all the tricks, we've all seen the
Speaker 3: trick where they turn then they go down a really
Speaker 3: thin alley way and then people have to drive away
Speaker 3: and you drive through a fruit stand. We've even seen
Speaker 3: a helicopter get attached to a car during it.
Speaker 1: We've seen everything driving through a bunch of crops and
Speaker 1: I'm like, he's making his kids drive through these crops
Speaker 1: and they almost hit a tractor and they would have
Speaker 1: killed them all.
Speaker 2: Then they almost drive off a cliff and like there.
Speaker 1: Then he just says in the cool like, well, I
Speaker 1: didn't tell you to keep driving off a cliff, and
Speaker 1: it's like they almost died, but he says something cool.
Speaker 3: I just can't and I know that's that's the probably
Speaker 3: lower the stakes.
Speaker 1: Here's a new one that I don't think anyone's ever
Speaker 1: pointed out. I cannot stand in a movie when two
Speaker 1: people are walking down the sidewalk next to each other
Speaker 1: and one of them says something a little bit shocking,
Speaker 1: and then the person that here's the shocking thing stops
Speaker 1: in place, and that person that says the shocking thing
Speaker 1: keeps walking.
Speaker 2: No, no one does that. People would both stop. They
Speaker 2: both are like why'd you stop? Do you know what
Speaker 2: I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: When they're like, and yeah, I think I have a
Speaker 1: crush on Tom. And then then the person who hears
Speaker 1: is like stop and then the girl keeps walking. It's
Speaker 1: like stop doing that. And also say goodbye on the phone.
Speaker 1: It takes two seconds everyone. That's a common one that
Speaker 1: people have picked up on. And coffee cups like that,
Speaker 1: there's some kind of weight in them.
Speaker 2: And also.
Speaker 1: Explain yourselves more. When I write a movie, here's what
Speaker 1: I promise the American people, because I'm not going to
Speaker 1: release it globally, because I love America, I promise to
Speaker 1: have dialogue that is realistic. I promise that there will
Speaker 1: be no scene in which you say, well, if she
Speaker 1: just would have explained herself a little bit more, or
Speaker 1: if if that character would have just asked one more
Speaker 1: question that anyone under a normal circumstance would ask.
Speaker 2: This scene wouldn't be happening. We will not have that.
Speaker 1: We will not have a girl eating ice cream because
Speaker 1: her heart is broken.
Speaker 2: We will not have a girl.
Speaker 1: Uh, we will not have any kind of messy girl
Speaker 1: being messy because she's heartbroken.
Speaker 2: We won't have that.
Speaker 3: You won't have a picture of someone texting on their
Speaker 3: phone and they have no text history at all. It's
Speaker 3: just the first.
Speaker 2: Oh god, that's bullshit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we won't have Well, there's so many other tropes
Speaker 3: that are you don't even have to say. We don't
Speaker 3: have to say we won't have like you won't have
Speaker 3: someone running after an airplane chasing them down. Like you
Speaker 3: won't have someone give an ultimatum saying like I have
Speaker 3: to leave the country tomorrow, yes, and we can't. We
Speaker 3: can't stay for another second to figure out this complicated relationship.
Speaker 3: And then they and then finally at the last second,
Speaker 3: they'll run into the airport to stop them from leaving,
Speaker 3: and then they don't go on their trip.
Speaker 2: Can't.
Speaker 1: They can't do that anymore because of TSA prex or TSA.
Speaker 1: We won't We will not have someone singing off key
Speaker 1: in a car to establish that the character is adorable.
Speaker 2: We won't have that.
Speaker 1: We won't have someone have it be like their anthem
Speaker 1: that they sing throughout the whole movie, even though I
Speaker 1: love to sing more than anyone.
Speaker 2: We're not going to do that to you.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna have a couple get together because they
Speaker 1: just because they're both mean to each other in one scene,
Speaker 1: and then suddenly we're supposed to be rooting for them forever.
Speaker 2: We won't have that.
Speaker 1: We will not have a sex scene in which a
Speaker 1: woman is has a penis put in her within seconds
Speaker 1: of being kissed, unless she is yelping in like in
Speaker 1: fright and pain immediately.
Speaker 2: We will not have We will not have a full.
Speaker 1: Blown orgasm by me the lead actress on screen. I
Speaker 1: promise you, because I am sick of seeing actresses a
Speaker 1: list actresses having orgasms.
Speaker 2: I'm sick of it. I love you, Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 3: Actual orgasm. Isn't that true during taping?
Speaker 2: Well that that feels even worse to me.
Speaker 1: I don't think that makes If a man said that,
Speaker 1: wouldn't we all go that's disgusting rites.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: If we found out.
Speaker 1: I actually came while he was shooting a scene, he
Speaker 1: would never work again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a salt.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I hope that carpet that she came on is hanging
Speaker 1: in a planet Hollywood somewhere, because I will go to
Speaker 1: that one.
Speaker 2: No, Nicole Kidman can do whatever the fuck she wants.
Speaker 1: Love, I love her, keeps strumming you Kooki Kuala, but
Speaker 1: I do not want to see women having orgasms on screen.
Speaker 2: Anymore. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: I saw it baby Girl, and then what I mean
Speaker 1: baby Girl was insane and I I was looking at
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do a mashup of so badly.
Speaker 1: Was if you saw a baby Girl, you heard Nicole
Speaker 1: Kidman's orgasm sound, which is like really a guttural, very realistic.
Speaker 1: I will say it was realistic. I'll give her that
Speaker 1: sound grunt. And I wanted I forgot. I was asking,
Speaker 1: I guess Noah Garfinkel, but then he didn't know either
Speaker 1: of the references. I was like, I wanted that to
Speaker 1: be the like to put that sound in the Wicked
Speaker 1: for her battle cry. I thought that would have been funny,
Speaker 1: but no one made it happen. And I think that
Speaker 1: concludes that what I will not have. I'll keep making
Speaker 1: a lisp as I watch more movies. And I would
Speaker 1: love besties to dm me any things that should not
Speaker 1: that you would like to not see in the movie
Speaker 1: that I make, because I'm just collecting what I like
Speaker 1: and what I don't like. And by the way, my
Speaker 1: movie's gonna suck too, but it's gonna suck for so
Speaker 1: many reasons because every movie sucks. I've learned, and it's
Speaker 1: just hard to make a good movie. But I'm gonna try,
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna start by going like, I don't
Speaker 1: like this, and I think that's a good place to start.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's an interesting place to start. To find everything
Speaker 3: you don't like and then see what's left. And at
Speaker 3: the end of it, you know what will be left
Speaker 3: after you remove all of the things you don't like.
Speaker 3: We'll it just be like two people sitting in a
Speaker 3: not a coffee shop, because that's the trope. Two people
Speaker 3: sitting on a park bench. What do you say, No,
Speaker 3: it's on a park bench. Park bench is pretty trophy too,
Speaker 3: Two people sitting on Yeah, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: There will be phones, I will say that, and no
Speaker 1: one will be singing into a spatula or a hair
Speaker 1: brush and then get caught and go like it.
Speaker 2: Get caught by someone not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and people will have dirty bras well. What you
Speaker 1: can if you have random sex and you're taking off
Speaker 1: your clothes, your bra will be dirty. Girl, you will
Speaker 1: see me with a nude colored stained bra.
Speaker 3: That's a classic comedy.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 3: What you can do is take any of these tropes
Speaker 3: and undermine it the way you're describing, and that is
Speaker 3: a compelling scene in a movie all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: all right, if you undercut, if you take the scene
Speaker 3: where the person is singing into this spatulta and you
Speaker 3: somehow undercut it so that it's now provocative and.
Speaker 1: It's a black spatult that can cause cancer. You guys
Speaker 1: read that you're supposed to hear all your plastic black
Speaker 1: spatulas cause cancer.
Speaker 3: Even like this, like the silk, like the ones for
Speaker 3: nonstick pans, or.
Speaker 1: Saying it says like all black, any kind of black
Speaker 1: cookwaar tool.
Speaker 2: You'll get targeted on Instagram too. Yeah, you're gonna get
Speaker 2: it now.
Speaker 1: After we talked about this, and then I just found
Speaker 1: out that there's lead inside protein plant based chocolate protein powders,
Speaker 1: which I consume almost exclusively.
Speaker 3: So oh yeah, god, damn, I'm going.
Speaker 1: To start being able to not read. I guess I
Speaker 1: don't know what happens for lead poisoning, but.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not looking good. Yeah that's well, that that
Speaker 3: must be like the chocolate problem overall that Chris and
Speaker 3: I discovered that like all this dark chocolate has like catmium, and.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cadmium's the other one, which sounds like something that's
Speaker 2: good for you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds like I was.
Speaker 2: Trying to up my cat meum. But now I realized,
Speaker 2: all right, guys, we gotta go. We have another show
Speaker 2: for you tomorrow. We'll see you.
Speaker 3: Then.
Speaker 1: Send me things that you don't want to be in movies.
Speaker 1: I would love to hear them, and we'll read them
