Speaker 1: Are you leaving? I you wanna way back home? Either way,
Speaker 1: we want to be there. Doesn't matter how much baggage
Speaker 1: you claim and give us time and a terminol and gay.
Speaker 2: We want to send.
Speaker 1: You off inside. We wanna welcome you back home. Tell
Speaker 1: us all about it. We scared or was it fine? Malborn?
Speaker 3: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 1: Do you need to ride? Do you need to ride?
Speaker 2: Do your need to ride.
Speaker 4: With Karen and Chris welcome to Do you need a ride?
Speaker 4: My name's Chris Fairpeks.
Speaker 1: My name is a bite full of protein bar kilgaro.
Speaker 2: Boy, we really boned it on that in.
Speaker 1: I literally just screamed at Chris to start the podcast
Speaker 1: with a full mouthful of protein.
Speaker 4: Let's get a dozen donuts and describe each bite to
Speaker 4: our listeners. The only way you can truly get the
Speaker 4: flavor is if you smack the doughnut.
Speaker 2: Well, it's in between your lips.
Speaker 1: Oh, we are going to rename this podcast mouth sounds.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 4: Sorry, the horn inspired us to think that all mouth
Speaker 4: noises are beautiful.
Speaker 1: The only reason Time was so desperate for Chris to start, though,
Speaker 1: was because it seemed like we were really witnessing some
Speaker 1: some intense whimsy on the streets of Los Angeles, and
Speaker 1: we wanted to share it with you.
Speaker 4: We well, should we start with the last thing and
Speaker 4: move backwards? Yeah, costin action, Pat, we already seen an
Speaker 4: episode of Highlight and the first five minutes it ended
Speaker 4: with the last thing.
Speaker 2: We saw one man band, but he had no instruments.
Speaker 5: Is that how you describe them?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: There was an somebody they're redoing a gas station, and
Speaker 1: so there was a very loud, almost like a cement
Speaker 1: breaking machine noise, but it kind of clingy element to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a hell of a rhythm. The guy had beat.
Speaker 1: And I looked over to see what all the noise
Speaker 1: was about, and there was a man walking down the
Speaker 1: street who was wearing feathers in his hat.
Speaker 4: Multiple feathers, yeah, different birds each one, and lots of
Speaker 4: different things hanging from his waist.
Speaker 2: And so just as.
Speaker 1: I glanced over, I was like, oh, it's a one
Speaker 1: man band.
Speaker 2: Instead of he did. He had the screen tied around
Speaker 2: his pant leg.
Speaker 4: It looked like it could have been reinforcing a knee
Speaker 4: symbol of some kind.
Speaker 1: There was he had like electricians tape tied on a
Speaker 1: little rope like he was a gaffer and or best boy.
Speaker 1: I can't remember which one belongs to which.
Speaker 2: I think you're thinking a key grip, key grip. I
Speaker 2: think keys are keys with lighting. Oh right, I think
Speaker 2: you're right.
Speaker 1: And maybe they all use electricians tape. Yeah, maybe that's
Speaker 1: the electricians department. And that's a whole third thing.
Speaker 4: You know, when you're a grip, you have to do
Speaker 4: whatever is needed, whether it be sound or audio, is
Speaker 4: it true or lighting?
Speaker 2: You know, it's always something I've completely made up.
Speaker 4: But you know I've been on set, So who's gonna
Speaker 4: I was just on set this weekend doing.
Speaker 2: What Oh, oh, so glad you asked? Out of the blue,
Speaker 2: without me setting.
Speaker 1: You up, without me screaming at you.
Speaker 2: I was, oh, another one man band that should get together.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of them.
Speaker 4: It will be the next White Stripes because there's two
Speaker 4: of them. I was doing a kind of a revamp
Speaker 4: of my Paul Ryan character, but not really. Yeah, that's
Speaker 4: how they contacted me though, making fun of people running
Speaker 4: for all types of office in Montana, most of them
Speaker 4: out of state people pretending to be from Montana. Usually
Speaker 4: people with a lot of money and someone tells them, hey,
Speaker 4: you should run for office up in Montana.
Speaker 2: It's a giant state.
Speaker 4: I don't know how they get looped into it, but
Speaker 4: our governor is from New Jersey and he's a millionaire,
Speaker 4: and he promised all these things about protecting public lands
Speaker 4: and is doing the opposite as.
Speaker 2: Far as I know.
Speaker 4: And he's got elected I think because he punched a journalist.
Speaker 5: Yes, So then all.
Speaker 1: The Republicans were like, this is my kind of guy exactly.
Speaker 1: My dad was mean to me.
Speaker 4: Too, like a straight shooter, the shoots you're right in
Speaker 4: the nose when you don't rake leaves. And it was
Speaker 4: really fun to do that.
Speaker 2: And then these video we made.
Speaker 4: Like for just videos that I think will play on
Speaker 4: between things on Hulu in that area nice and lead
Speaker 4: to information about what you're really voting for as far
Speaker 4: as public lands are concerned, and it's a big deal
Speaker 4: in Montana because it's still you can camp anywhere there.
Speaker 4: There's a lot better examples of why public lands are
Speaker 4: important well, but also.
Speaker 1: It's a that's a really important thing because there's lots
Speaker 1: of people doing that where they're signing up and running
Speaker 1: for office on whole platforms that they don't they're insincere
Speaker 1: and they're just trying to manipulate the people in that area.
Speaker 1: That's how Marjorie Taylor g got into audience. She didn't
Speaker 1: live anywhere near there, she doesn't represent those people in
Speaker 1: that part of Georgia, but she went up there because no,
Speaker 1: she was gonna run un uncompeted, whatever that sure is called.
Speaker 2: No, I think that's a perfect term.
Speaker 4: And they showed me for inspiration, real campaign videos that
Speaker 4: are so hilarious of people, you know, pretending to hant
Speaker 4: ort and I'm not afraid to drink a beer.
Speaker 2: And it spills.
Speaker 4: So I was awkwardly fly fishing without knowing how to
Speaker 4: fly fish.
Speaker 2: I was dressed like a cowboy.
Speaker 4: In brand new clothes, yes yeah, with tags still on them.
Speaker 2: Nice that you really have to look to see those.
Speaker 4: But the fun one was the you know a lot
Speaker 4: of people think I'm not concerned about public lands, but
Speaker 4: I am, which is why I bought this land and
Speaker 4: built my own private dude ranch. And there's like a
Speaker 4: dude ranch sign that says pay to play. And I
Speaker 4: did a little illustration of me with the thumb and
Speaker 4: they would fishing line moved the thumb so it looks
Speaker 4: like a Vegas.
Speaker 2: They're gonna add lights to.
Speaker 4: It later, but it's there are several of those, like
Speaker 4: city slicker type retreats for people that can pay for it,
Speaker 4: right in Montana, so you know, and then and then
Speaker 4: people like Justin Timberlake moved there.
Speaker 2: Who I hear is a sweet man and everybody loves Yeah.
Speaker 1: Except for all the people that read the You know,
Speaker 1: Brittany Spears just came out with us, Oh really, all
Speaker 1: autobiography and she spills the full beings on Justin Timberlake.
Speaker 1: Oh really, he's been suffering greatly over on TikTok.
Speaker 2: Well, do know, I didn't know about that.
Speaker 4: I seem to I seem to celebrate people just and
Speaker 4: then after we record something terrible comes out about them,
Speaker 4: and that's when our episode comes out.
Speaker 2: It might sound like, Hey, I really.
Speaker 4: Like Coacher, and then immediately he's like, I like my
Speaker 4: friend who was on that show with me?
Speaker 2: We all know what I'm vaguely talking about.
Speaker 1: You basically said the name of the show without saying seventies.
Speaker 2: You know you knew I was talking about the ranch.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, who's on the ranch with him?
Speaker 2: Sam elliott Man is the dad.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was very upset about some he's Oh god,
Speaker 4: he's a piece of work.
Speaker 2: God rest, yes he is. We all love the.
Speaker 1: Bar Fight movie, and I don't know who else there's
Speaker 1: a brother, it's Ashton Kutcher and somebody else plays the brother.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: I tried to watch that show one time because I
Speaker 1: was like, Charlie, it's a it's a Charlie Sheen esque person,
Speaker 1: I think, or it's someone funny that I'm gonna regret
Speaker 1: saying that about.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, there's always that risk.
Speaker 1: We're right now. First of all, breaking a strike rule
Speaker 1: of talking about TV shows.
Speaker 2: Oh, these are old shows.
Speaker 4: I don't acknowledge current shows and news shows, and I
Speaker 4: never will.
Speaker 1: You don't make the rules of sagat.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 6: No, it's actually I think Danny Masterson's.
Speaker 2: That's what I was talking about. That's why I was
Speaker 2: talking around this whole time. You just said it was cool. Whoa,
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I It's so funny.
Speaker 1: We just talked about an example of what we were.
Speaker 2: An elaborate trap. I've sat.
Speaker 4: Oh, oh that is just ready for packaging.
Speaker 1: That was good podcasting hilarity.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay. Neither of us claimed to be experts.
Speaker 1: Neither of us claim to be on this an honest
Speaker 1: freeway that we're driving down right now.
Speaker 2: It is an honest freeway. It is.
Speaker 1: It's doing it's goddamn best every day.
Speaker 2: It has two kids, it's divorced.
Speaker 1: No, sorry, anonymous, is what I meant to say. But
Speaker 1: doesn't it look like a storm is literally about to
Speaker 1: bust out any second to our left?
Speaker 4: Yes, and I do. I look excited because I am.
Speaker 4: Are you I love it?
Speaker 2: Are you a bit of a storm chaser? Chris? I'm
Speaker 2: a wheel watcher first? And then.
Speaker 4: As soon as I saw that puzzle, I once got
Speaker 4: Edie Gourmet just off.
Speaker 2: The e No, yeah, to ease. Yeah, well that said
Speaker 2: Steve Lawrence and already.
Speaker 1: Oh it did someone thought all of Steve Lawrence's name
Speaker 1: and none of ed Gordon May's name, but the ease.
Speaker 4: A lot of my stories are based in truth, but
Speaker 4: there's holes in them. I think it was my dad
Speaker 4: that knew off one letter, Steve Lawrence and Edie Gourmet, and.
Speaker 2: I'm from then on, I was like, my dad's a genius.
Speaker 1: From then on, you're like, that's my victory. I will
Speaker 1: claim this as much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, it's easier than it's easy.
Speaker 5: I do that a lot.
Speaker 4: Sure I did this. No, it's a friend of mine.
Speaker 4: But that's a waste of words.
Speaker 2: That said story.
Speaker 1: I want to hear those details of who would actually
Speaker 1: happened to.
Speaker 4: But I being back home, I have not gone back
Speaker 4: to Montana in the fall in the autumn before in
Speaker 4: the last fifteen years. I always go back for Christmas
Speaker 4: and sometime in the summer. And it was so to
Speaker 4: experience the shortest, most I think, most beautiful season. The
Speaker 4: trees were red and orange, and it was just at
Speaker 4: the perfect time and for some reason, seventy five degrees
Speaker 4: just well.
Speaker 2: I took a picture of my dad's porch.
Speaker 4: He had a perfect little pumpkin and strawbal set up.
Speaker 4: His wife mel my stepmom, did a beautiful job on
Speaker 4: the porch. And then the next day is like what
Speaker 4: the difference a day makes, And it was covered in
Speaker 4: so now it went for seventy five to thirty at
Speaker 4: least thirty two Jesus, Yeah, it's and I really do
Speaker 4: think as you get older in general, I think life
Speaker 4: just that passes fewer things our new experience, so it
Speaker 4: just breathes by. But also the fact that it's every
Speaker 4: day seventy five here. It really is a thing, and
Speaker 4: I've talked about this, but I experienced the feeling of
Speaker 4: the reminder of what those seasons were, as far as
Speaker 4: serving as a passing of time mark yep each like
Speaker 4: we used to complain about how long winter was all
Speaker 4: the time, like it was so boring. You have to
Speaker 4: go bowling again now. And I'm not complaining about the
Speaker 4: beautiful weather here, but I do like there to be
Speaker 4: a slight other than my birthday not being celebrated.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a year has passed.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know it's well also the point I
Speaker 1: know I can't I can't wait for it, and I
Speaker 1: hope that it It is like the vibe alone today.
Speaker 1: Had to wear socks and shoes. I couldn't wear my
Speaker 1: flip flops. It was two quote unquote cold, which is
Speaker 1: what seventy two in LA. But yeah, but it is
Speaker 1: like for us cold and cloudy and a little dark
Speaker 1: and maybe dreary and threatening to rain, although maybe it
Speaker 1: will or won't. But like, I was just talking to
Speaker 1: my friend Bradford who lives in Wisconsin, and he was
Speaker 1: talking about the exact same thing where it's like all
Speaker 1: of a sudden it'll be like the trees are gorgeous
Speaker 1: and then all the leaves drop and die and then
Speaker 1: you're in winter, right, And like how that is this
Speaker 1: passage of time feeling so that you just are adjusting.
Speaker 1: It helps you adjust better, yea than this thing of
Speaker 1: the La dream. We're all in kind of a sleep
Speaker 1: paralysis in LA where we're just like is it March
Speaker 1: or November?
Speaker 2: Right? Not sure? Yeah, even my body would change.
Speaker 4: Everyone in the wintertime would put on like with the animals,
Speaker 4: that we are a layer of extra weight to stay
Speaker 4: warm in the winter like like that. That doesn't I
Speaker 4: think I've de acclimated and I don't do it as much,
Speaker 4: but I think I do.
Speaker 2: Actually, I got a sweet tooth right now that you what?
Speaker 2: Do you love it? Right now?
Speaker 4: All the times we've talked about candy, I sort of
Speaker 4: and I hate to say this, but I just played along.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 4: I don't want to seem elitist like I'm above. I've
Speaker 4: never had one anyway, Now now I really am because
Speaker 4: of the not drinking thing.
Speaker 2: I'm like I am. I was eating cookies. You gotta
Speaker 2: get that sugar.
Speaker 1: I like a.
Speaker 2: Standard chocolate chip.
Speaker 4: Hell, yes, And you know I can't find my organic mangoes,
Speaker 4: so I might as well have a pine ice cream.
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, I've my dad and I had ice cream.
Speaker 2: We had a lot of cookies.
Speaker 1: Was your stepmom making those cookies?
Speaker 4: She doesn't make cookies sometimes other times they're store bought
Speaker 4: either way, right.
Speaker 2: In the metoc hole, and I don't love them a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 2: I've been well.
Speaker 1: Also, that's the thing you do with your family too, right,
Speaker 1: because it's like kind of a hey, do you want
Speaker 1: a cup of tea?
Speaker 2: Hey?
Speaker 1: Do you want a cookie?
Speaker 2: Hey? Like it?
Speaker 1: That's a very parental kind of like what are we doing?
Speaker 1: I watch golf with my dad all day and then
Speaker 1: I'm like, we canna eat lunch? Are you gonna get
Speaker 1: me lunch? Or do I have to get my own lunch?
Speaker 2: What are we doing?
Speaker 4: And my dad can't say, like he used to, Hey
Speaker 4: do you want a pint a vodka?
Speaker 2: What could go wrong? He still does offer, but it's okay.
Speaker 2: I just remind him I'm not doing that. What could go.
Speaker 1: Might as well?
Speaker 2: The rest of the family seems to like it.
Speaker 1: Hey, we're very well adjusted to this system.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, it's it was a beautiful time to
Speaker 4: be there shooting that and have the weather look like
Speaker 4: that and not be frigid. I went back during a
Speaker 4: perfect time and got out right when the cold snapped.
Speaker 1: Smart. I also would love it if any listeners that
Speaker 1: live in Montana or nearby and see Chris's commercials or
Speaker 1: PSAs they're PSAs right, Yes, they please show us pictures
Speaker 1: and tell us about it.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, that thank you. That is a good idea
Speaker 4: because I won't be seeing them no. And I am
Speaker 4: proud of the sign I helped make with my friend Carl,
Speaker 4: who's a sign maker, because.
Speaker 2: I did it illustration of myself.
Speaker 4: On the ranch sign, and then they found the exact
Speaker 4: shirt and hat that I drew on my little cowboy caricature.
Speaker 4: So it's just me next to the caricature doing the
Speaker 4: same thing, brilliant with my hand.
Speaker 2: I think visually it will really work as a joke.
Speaker 1: I think next time, production wise, we need to communicate
Speaker 1: with the wardrobe department first and let them dictate so
Speaker 1: they don't have to.
Speaker 4: You're right, it was haphazard of me to get them
Speaker 4: free artwork.
Speaker 2: How selfish.
Speaker 1: I just I just out a vision and I'm just
Speaker 1: saying It's not that easy to get a cowboy shirt
Speaker 1: in Montana. That's all I'm saying. Right, there's not like
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of choices.
Speaker 4: They set one foot, not even the other foot, into
Speaker 4: a goodwill and they managed to find the exact denimon
Speaker 4: denim ensemble I required. And it reminds me I could
Speaker 4: send the belt back. That was someone's actual belt. Oh,
Speaker 4: a personal belt, yes, very personal belt that I've taken
Speaker 4: across the country for no reason.
Speaker 2: Excuse me. Do you have COVID No, for sure, one
Speaker 2: of this. Yes, I think a test and it was negative.
Speaker 4: That's as far as I take my investigative where I
Speaker 4: can tell.
Speaker 1: That's as far as anyone can ask you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but I do believe during one of the videos,
Speaker 4: I was poorly fishing and I was in a cold,
Speaker 4: cold river.
Speaker 2: And you caught a chill.
Speaker 4: Yeah you always hear Oh, if you go out and
Speaker 4: it's cold, you're going to get sick.
Speaker 2: And I think we've all decided.
Speaker 4: That's an old tail from the Old Maids.
Speaker 2: Yep, but it's actually happened.
Speaker 4: I was very cold in a river for three hours,
Speaker 4: fumbling with a fake fish and hooking my hat.
Speaker 2: Of course, yes, all those.
Speaker 1: Throwing your boot up into your hand to talk.
Speaker 2: On like the phone. Yes, I did that.
Speaker 4: I slipped a couple times in the water. Actually hurt
Speaker 4: myself in real life when I put all my pressure
Speaker 4: on my little dainty wrist.
Speaker 1: This is the thing. Casting directors, you need to know
Speaker 1: this about Chris Fairbanks case you will give one hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty percent every time.
Speaker 4: I will hurt myself, I will get a bad tattoo.
Speaker 4: I will do ever whatever you need to do.
Speaker 1: The drive stick, even though he doesn't actually know how
Speaker 1: in Europe.
Speaker 4: In Europe, I will grind gears in any part of
Speaker 4: this globe.
Speaker 1: Don't even come at me.
Speaker 2: I'll have you know that.
Speaker 4: After shooting that commercial, the stunt driver who they didn't
Speaker 4: use much because he didn't look enough like me, I've
Speaker 4: already said this.
Speaker 2: He said I would hire you as a stunt driver.
Speaker 2: That's how good you were doing.
Speaker 1: No, yes, congratulations. I don't think you have ever given
Speaker 1: that additional detail.
Speaker 2: No, it's because I hate bragging.
Speaker 4: Braggerts and people with confidence are offensive.
Speaker 1: But that's a fact.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think a brag is like I was amazing
Speaker 1: at that thing. But the fact of a person saying
Speaker 1: that to you is a fact that you can share.
Speaker 4: Well, they just kind of they never asked for my license,
Speaker 4: and they're like, Okay, when you passed the fence post
Speaker 4: with a piece of orange tape on it, don't look
Speaker 4: at it, but when you see it peripherally, slam on
Speaker 4: the brakes about now because it's kind of wet out
Speaker 4: and you don't want to hit The director and the
Speaker 4: cameraman were in the road and I just stopped right
Speaker 4: in front of them, and I had to do that
Speaker 4: twenty times exactly the same with only a certain amount
Speaker 4: of space, and I had to reach a certain miles
Speaker 4: mileage per hour.
Speaker 1: This is why we have to support the SAG after strike.
Speaker 1: These are the kinds of exploitations on set, ridiculous non union,
Speaker 1: insane European demands on your average actor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am not Tom Cruise.
Speaker 4: I do not wish to do my own stunts, no,
Speaker 4: but there I kind of wanted to impress all the
Speaker 4: You're very older, older men that were still doing union
Speaker 4: like jobs like driving. Everyone that worked on that commercial
Speaker 4: was in their eighties. They do not retire currently in England.
Speaker 4: I had the best interactions with the sweetest old guys
Speaker 4: that were tough on the outside. You would have loved
Speaker 4: these guys. Yeah, and then there are sweethearts. And I
Speaker 4: cried with one.
Speaker 1: Oh about wait on during the shoot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he was saying he was gone trip with his son.
Speaker 4: I asked some more questions. Turns out his wife had
Speaker 4: just passed, and it was very He was such a
Speaker 4: sweet man. If if he's still around, I think of
Speaker 4: him often. But if not, if he's not around anymore,
Speaker 4: I've totally forgotten.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I meant.
Speaker 1: That's how you are. Yeah, you have to be here
Speaker 1: to get Chris's thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 2: I do not waste my feelings on your lingering spirit.
Speaker 2: Are you dead? Get out? I'm here. Sorry.
Speaker 1: It's fun to drive after not leaving my house for
Speaker 1: so long, so I'm finding it really exciting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's you.
Speaker 4: I mean you have me gripping on the oh shit
Speaker 4: bar here. You're driving very furiously.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I have to go very fast. This car is
Speaker 2: very fast.
Speaker 4: Have to but you're obeying all the laws and we
Speaker 4: are five hundred feet behind those amber lights, which I've
Speaker 4: memorized from me. You have to be five hundred feet
Speaker 4: behind amber lights?
Speaker 2: Is that true.
Speaker 4: Like these guys, I memorized, I really was worried about
Speaker 4: not passing the written portion of my driver's test, And
Speaker 4: you know I still drive with a wilful and wanton
Speaker 4: regard for other persons and property.
Speaker 2: True, that's how.
Speaker 1: It's worded, wilful and wanton regard.
Speaker 2: Wilful and wanton.
Speaker 1: I always thought wanton naturally was a negative, like usually
Speaker 1: it's wilful and wanton disregard. Oh maybe you're right, well,
Speaker 1: but no, I like the idea that they're like, no, no,
Speaker 1: what we're asking for you is go buck wild with
Speaker 1: your regard.
Speaker 2: I think you're right.
Speaker 4: The law was if you're driving in a wilful and
Speaker 4: wanton disregard for other people in property, that I think
Speaker 4: it is negative.
Speaker 1: Oh like this guy, yep, like this teenager.
Speaker 4: Oh didn't even look in the side view? No, no,
Speaker 4: why you better be.
Speaker 2: You better work at the hospital. You better work girl,
Speaker 2: do your thing and make love to the camera. You
Speaker 2: better merge, you beat a merge. I'm not gonna let
Speaker 2: that go.
Speaker 1: I made coffee so badly I almost want to get
Speaker 1: it before we pick up.
Speaker 4: You need When you need coffee, do you start coughing coffee?
Speaker 2: I could use some too.
Speaker 4: I don't know that I brought any of the cards, however,
Speaker 4: Oh that's okay.
Speaker 1: There's something in here and we may have used it
Speaker 1: up already, but.
Speaker 2: I just open it and it's unrelated. It's just a parrot.
Speaker 2: There's something in here, Hello, artiguation, caffeine and you get back.
Speaker 1: I'm work twenty five dollars. What else happened in Montana?

Speaker 2: hung out with my dad. I did get a cold,
Speaker 2: so I did rest for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: A river cold.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but right before my flight, I'm like, okay, I
Speaker 4: feel great again, let's hang out dad.
Speaker 2: And so I really smothered him in the last hours.
Speaker 1: Nice good, he deserves it.
Speaker 4: My friend got a new house, and I looked at
Speaker 4: his beautiful house and his new beautiful baby.
Speaker 1: Did you bring him a present?
Speaker 2: I should have? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Well, I brought his son, Jack's a little drum set,
Speaker 4: oh for kids.
Speaker 2: I gave it to him for Christmas. He was overwhelmed
Speaker 2: with gifts.
Speaker 4: They saved it for his birthday and then saved it
Speaker 4: in a bag.
Speaker 2: So I could get credit for it on it.
Speaker 1: So you did it a full year ago.
Speaker 2: Uh, yes, Chris.
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is bring people a cinnamon broom when
Speaker 1: they move into a new house.
Speaker 2: You're right.
Speaker 4: I should have brought something like a little tiny scarecrow
Speaker 4: or something, or a knife with a penny, or a
Speaker 4: black cat with an archie back silhouetted in front of the.
Speaker 1: Moon, or a twenty foot skeleton. I always say twenty foot,
Speaker 1: they're only twelve, but he could a gigantic skeleton.
Speaker 2: Yeah, front yard. I should I should have brought something.
Speaker 2: But Jax's way into the drumas now.
Speaker 1: Well, I have to say I actually fully accept your
Speaker 1: your pass of I gave the baby a gift from
Speaker 1: last year. I think that counts, right, because all you're
Speaker 1: doing is is basically bring in some good vibes with
Speaker 1: a stranger coming through the door of a baby in
Speaker 1: the house.
Speaker 2: Right, So you nailed.
Speaker 4: It, And I am buddy Chris, And he really likes me.
Speaker 4: Oh it's important important to get the approval of brand
Speaker 4: new people.
Speaker 2: Yes for sure. And did he like those drums? Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's into the drums. Yeah, that's it. Wants to be
Speaker 2: a drummer.
Speaker 1: Oh already, or.
Speaker 2: Because of the drums, I'm gonna feel.
Speaker 4: Bad when he's on tour, you know, doing them with
Speaker 4: the drugs. But hey, no, that'll never happen. No, no,
Speaker 4: because I can tell he was playing with his legos
Speaker 4: and wanted made it play with his legos and there
Speaker 4: was a little spider on his shirt, which freaked me
Speaker 4: out because it wasn't that little and I don't know
Speaker 4: what kind of a spider it was, but it was
Speaker 4: brown and it looked fast, and I was like, flicked
Speaker 4: it off, and I was like, there's a little spider
Speaker 4: on your shirt.
Speaker 2: And then he was like, can we let it loose
Speaker 2: in the grass?
Speaker 4: So yeah, I put it on a lego piece and
Speaker 4: he flung it in the grass.
Speaker 2: It was really sweet. So he is a.
Speaker 1: Kind hearted toddler.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry to cough like that. That's right.
Speaker 1: Yes, we're gonna mute out your mic.
Speaker 2: It'll be like it never happened, right, it was, so
Speaker 2: what was are you even talking about? Nothing?
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I left that momentary block of silence there.
Speaker 2: Well I was talking so but yeah, it is.
Speaker 4: I think it's very telling when you know even little
Speaker 4: people don't want to squish a spider.
Speaker 1: Yes, and especially because there are some children that you
Speaker 1: would have said, there's a spider on my shirt and
Speaker 1: then they would have been like, oh, here's my chance
Speaker 1: to freak the fuck out. Oh have everybody kind of
Speaker 1: gather around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, welcome to my show.
Speaker 1: I have feelings. I'm a baby.
Speaker 2: I there was this little kid.
Speaker 4: There's a Brendan Burns as a comic from the UK,
Speaker 4: and he was I met with him in Venice because
Speaker 4: he said his son was into skateboarding, and so I
Speaker 4: went with him to the to the Venice skatepark and
Speaker 4: tried to show him some Allie's and stuff, and there
Speaker 4: was a kid just losing his mind crying and Brendan's
Speaker 4: in his little English accent, was like, oh that's original.
Speaker 2: To another kid his age that was throwing a fit.
Speaker 2: It was just the perfect dry ah, that dry British
Speaker 2: wit that.
Speaker 1: Is hilarious and awesome. And also it's like, yeah, because
Speaker 1: how irritating, Like that's a kid that hasn't been rewarded
Speaker 1: for being like an emotional or right.
Speaker 4: And it's of course any adult will be an armchair
Speaker 4: parent and comment on it.
Speaker 2: But when it's another little.
Speaker 1: Kid that's funny.
Speaker 2: Oh that's original.
Speaker 4: I'm real good at accent. I just turned him Australian.
Speaker 4: Maybe he was Australia.
Speaker 1: He could have been sometimes.
Speaker 4: Sing Brendan's I don't know. He's one of these comics
Speaker 4: that jet sets around.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how could you know where he's from?
Speaker 2: Right? Well, I'm not a linguist. I can't always tell,
Speaker 2: but I could always ask. I could, but I don't
Speaker 2: want to do that either.
Speaker 4: Hey, I need to know right off the bat before
Speaker 4: this goes any further.
Speaker 2: Are you from Australia or New Zealand. Either way, they're
Speaker 2: going to.
Speaker 3: Be a petted so just just drop it. Let them
Speaker 3: be a person. Oh I could use a dog or
Speaker 3: some chili.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's something also about this weather, like you
Speaker 1: were you were just saying this and I saw I
Speaker 1: was listening.
Speaker 2: But it is a.
Speaker 1: Kind of like, Ooh, I need chili. I need a
Speaker 1: grilled cheese sandwich. I need soup, like.
Speaker 2: We need comfort via food.
Speaker 1: Yes, in a weird like because there's clouds, right, I think, Okay.
Speaker 2: I think there is.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm no meteorologist, you know, I gave up
Speaker 4: that game years ago. Smart, but I think we're gonna
Speaker 4: see some weather Karen.
Speaker 2: Today, Oh yeah, or in general this clouds. This is
Speaker 2: not a you know, postal inversion. This is not a
Speaker 2: what do they call that? Is it offshore flow?
Speaker 1: Douch or flow? Could be that. It could be an
Speaker 1: atmospheric river. They do a lot of that in northern California.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
Speaker 4: There's a churning and there's a site. Some of these
Speaker 4: clouds there's like a side of diagonal.
Speaker 2: You know that is.
Speaker 4: Because he's on a skateboard. Yes, no, I think, and
Speaker 4: no offense to him. I think he has that for
Speaker 4: transportation and not for showmanship. I can tell by the
Speaker 4: way he standing in the type of shoes he has
Speaker 4: a judgmental.
Speaker 2: Those are joggers.
Speaker 1: I really wanted you to be like, that's Eddie Fitzroy Jr.
Speaker 4: Was Eddie Fitzroy. I would know right away just by
Speaker 4: a silhouette of how he.
Speaker 2: Stands, because you have a little stickers.
Speaker 4: There has been trivia skateboard trivia nights where I go
Speaker 4: called useless wooden knowledge follow them on Instagram, but they
Speaker 4: will have like a silhouetted who is this skateboarder?
Speaker 2: And I will know Wow, yeah.
Speaker 1: And that is that because you read all the magazines.
Speaker 2: I totally think that's why. Yeah, it was you just
Speaker 2: were really paying attention.
Speaker 4: I really was, and I still am now because our
Speaker 4: phones are Hey remember when you like this and possibly
Speaker 4: still do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so little nostalgia, a little hey child, Chris, I
Speaker 1: know you will probably buy something more like Okay, sorry,
Speaker 1: really quick. We're driving toward a hillside and it looks
Speaker 1: like Hawaii gorillas in the midst It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it really does.
Speaker 1: We don't get a lot of this kind of demonstrable weather.
Speaker 4: Especially that this mountain that we're looking at is unlike
Speaker 4: all the other mountains around Los Angeles. It is that
Speaker 4: is rugged. Yeah's serious. It means business. It's got a
Speaker 4: substantial vertical drop, yes, in relation to its altitude, agree,
Speaker 4: which is.
Speaker 2: What vertical drop means. Again, I'm no meteorologist.
Speaker 1: Now, was there a time where you thought that could
Speaker 1: be something I could do?
Speaker 2: I know that. That's how David Letterman got started.
Speaker 1: Picture is Yeah, but you'd have to have a big
Speaker 1: two size gap in your teeth.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and we know I got rid of that with
Speaker 4: some speech therapy in a cage installed to the roof
Speaker 4: of my mouth that would poke my tongue and say no, no,
Speaker 4: more tongue thrusting, gappy really.
Speaker 2: Yes, I had Oh, i'll show you pictures. Okay. I
Speaker 2: could floss with a climber's rope.
Speaker 1: I had a huge one. I could stick a quarter
Speaker 1: between my two front teeth.
Speaker 2: Well that sounds dangerous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I or cheese it more less dangerous, Yeah,
Speaker 1: show it.
Speaker 2: Cheese it up there.
Speaker 1: But then I got it covered when I was a
Speaker 1: senior in high school and I was so excited because
Speaker 1: it bugged me so much, and I thought it was
Speaker 1: so bad and so ugly, and.
Speaker 2: I had it covered up.
Speaker 1: And I came back to school like hi, everybody, and
Speaker 1: not one person noticed. Yeah, me too, No one noticed.
Speaker 1: They didn't give a shit about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I think that mainly the speech therapy was because I
Speaker 4: talked with a lazy mouth.
Speaker 2: I believe. Okay, they called it back then. They weren't
Speaker 2: afraid to hurt your feelings.
Speaker 1: No, No, they set out to hurt your feelings so
Speaker 1: you'd stop talking with the list.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because as I talked with that lisp, people that
Speaker 4: sprayed and I spit. I would get excited. I had
Speaker 4: spit in the corners of my mouth. I was a
Speaker 4: very liquid communicator, and I think that had a lot
Speaker 4: to do with it, just showing a kid to just
Speaker 4: no matter what. Weird things like sucking on a button
Speaker 4: at the end of a string choking hazard by the way, well.
Speaker 2: You gotta hold that string. I thought it was they
Speaker 2: really told me this.
Speaker 4: If you put this button behind your lips and pull
Speaker 4: on it, it will strengthen your lips and push your
Speaker 4: teeth back, And.
Speaker 2: Which is true, of course not.
Speaker 4: I think it was just so I was paying attention
Speaker 4: to what my mouth was doing, So you.
Speaker 1: Stop being such a fucking lazy mouth.
Speaker 4: And start thrusting that tongue to the roof of my
Speaker 4: mouth to make s's instead of s's used to make.
Speaker 2: A forward instead of yes, got you.
Speaker 4: Like uh, you know, like Sarah Paulson makes sensenya.
Speaker 2: But she's part of her charm.
Speaker 1: She's yes, she's won many Emmy Awards.
Speaker 2: Yes, she's a great actress, really great with uh charming.
Speaker 4: I think I kind of wish I still had it.
Speaker 4: I wish I had my letterman gap and my this
Speaker 4: is my old letterman jacket.
Speaker 1: This is your new Oh my, thank god. You can
Speaker 1: start anew as a stand up comic. Who's from high school? Yes,
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I don't know, lisps.
Speaker 2: Whatever you want, I don't know, No, I do want.
Speaker 4: I'll start anew. It doesn't even matter what the plan is.
Speaker 2: I am in high school.
Speaker 1: If it's high school, you're there.
Speaker 2: Look at this nice, beautiful neighborhood. Yeah, that's its gorgeous.
Speaker 1: There are some lovely homes.
Speaker 4: And I do like when there's little pockets of decoration.
Speaker 4: So far, not that I've seen, but back there. You
Speaker 4: your neighbor puts up a skeleton.
Speaker 2: You put up a skeleton, right Those guys are doing
Speaker 2: it that.
Speaker 4: They're putting up fake webs right now. I don't like
Speaker 4: when people get the fake spider webs and they leave
Speaker 4: them as cottony clumps. You gotta stretch that shit, cottony clumps.
Speaker 2: Get the hell out of here. What are you making
Speaker 2: a bunch of cocoons?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Look there he is outside for us.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's class. Look it he looks great. Look at
Speaker 2: that guy like it?
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.
Speaker 4: And turned our car using clubs and call it is
Speaker 4: across this country.
Speaker 2: Crown ships. Put your ears together for Jordan.
Speaker 1: Morit yay and his super chunk shirt.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: When I when I wear this super Chunk shirt. It's
Speaker 6: so fun to watch people's eyes bug out because they're like,
Speaker 6: this guy's into super Chunk.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 6: What are the odd joey forty year old white guy
Speaker 6: with a beard isn't a super ju.
Speaker 5: Enigma?
Speaker 2: Is this because he doesn't have reading glasses?
Speaker 5: Even?
Speaker 4: Yeah? It's uh is was that purchased? H When we
Speaker 4: went to Super Chunk together.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like we've seen them together a couple
Speaker 6: of times. I don't think you know, I think I
Speaker 6: went to this show.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: I remember you weren't there because I went to this
Speaker 6: show by myself, which is one of the rare like solo.
Speaker 5: Concerts I've been to.
Speaker 6: I was gonna go with someone who had a family emergency,
Speaker 6: and I was like, well should I bail?
Speaker 5: And I'm like, you know what, I'm just gonna go.
Speaker 5: And I had a lovely time.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I don't go to see music by myself a lot,
Speaker 6: but this was like this kind of like proved to
Speaker 6: me that I could do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, anyway, and then you saw there and I saw
Speaker 5: Chris there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I did not have an excuse because I
Speaker 4: like going alone.
Speaker 2: Jordan had anything to do with you.
Speaker 5: Right, it's a it's a meditative thing for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't know the whole time.
Speaker 4: I'm like, there's a guy standing next to me with
Speaker 4: his arms crossed, lightly tapping his foot, not expanding to it.
Speaker 2: And then at the end of the show I looked over.
Speaker 2: It's my friend Jordan. Amazing. Yeah, we were touching elbows
Speaker 2: the whole time, lovely.
Speaker 1: I bought tickets to a Super Chunk concert that got
Speaker 1: canceled due to COVID. Yes, was it that one?
Speaker 4: And then the drummer did have COVID so they we
Speaker 4: saw an acoustic set.
Speaker 2: Oh is that right?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 6: I mean I think this show that I went to
Speaker 6: where I got the shirt, it was the makeup show
Speaker 6: for that show, Karen, I.
Speaker 1: Was supposed to go to that, but I never made
Speaker 1: the effort to get the makeup tickets.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's such like, Yeah, going to see a concert
Speaker 6: is such a like weird pain in the ass when
Speaker 6: you're older and have other things to do.
Speaker 5: I imagine rescheduling one is like too much.
Speaker 1: We I mean I barely could buy tickets, much less
Speaker 1: show up.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I remember that show we saw where the drummer got
Speaker 6: COVID and they went acoustic was kind of had a
Speaker 6: quad hacky.
Speaker 5: Sack vibe to it. Yeah, which is a good thing
Speaker 5: or a bad thing?
Speaker 4: Yeah, because Super Chunk is a rock band. Sure, any
Speaker 4: fire volume.
Speaker 1: Every instrument is important, but I would say those drums crucial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure they really are. Hate to be that way
Speaker 2: about it, no, no one.
Speaker 4: That's why everyone writes a song with a met for
Speaker 4: a note.
Speaker 2: You gotta have that tic tac.
Speaker 5: Karen, Could you see a live band by yourself?
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, I think I was. I'm
Speaker 1: the kind of person that would say I would and
Speaker 1: get very haughty about it, and I would never actually
Speaker 1: do it because I get a that's a weird thing
Speaker 1: I have where of like doing things alone, where I
Speaker 1: want to be like above it all, but I have
Speaker 1: so much weird. The internal monologue is so goddamn loud. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: that there's a real like I would be standing there
Speaker 1: feeling fine and one variable and I would have to
Speaker 1: run away in tears or some shit like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah that show.
Speaker 4: I went alone and hid behind the sound booth to
Speaker 4: see a band called Roar.
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of them? Jordan?
Speaker 4: No, huh, I hadn't either, And I will admittedly I
Speaker 4: heard them on a TikTok video and I really like
Speaker 4: that song. I listen to another song. They liked that
Speaker 4: song too.
Speaker 6: That's great soundtrack music for when someone's pointing to ADHD symptoms. Yes, yes,
Speaker 6: I love to watch someone point in ADHD symptoms.
Speaker 5: While they play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sings.
Speaker 1: I would never point out it was.
Speaker 4: It's so melodic for reactions to motorcycle wrecks. But sure
Speaker 4: I When I went there, I realized they they probably
Speaker 4: hadn't played together in a while, and and they got
Speaker 4: on this They went on this tour because of the
Speaker 4: TikTok sudden attention. And then I was almost embarrassed to
Speaker 4: be there when those two songs came on and everyone's
Speaker 4: phones came up, And then I realized I was surrounded.
Speaker 2: By you know, influencer types rights.
Speaker 5: All there to do their own version of the dance.
Speaker 6: Yes, well, immediately turned their cameras to face them and
Speaker 6: did right.
Speaker 4: And I was the only guy with my arms crossed,
Speaker 4: wearing black and with trifocals.
Speaker 5: That's how you see a show.
Speaker 6: You wear black, you cross your arms, you slightly sway.
Speaker 5: Don't people know anything.
Speaker 1: Here's how I could do it if I stood in
Speaker 1: bed in the back of the room, arms crossed, wearing
Speaker 1: all black, pretending that I was an A and R executive.
Speaker 1: Right then you're like, oh, no, I'm here differently, sure,
Speaker 1: And it explains my age.
Speaker 2: That's so funny. That's so funny. It all works.
Speaker 4: And I actually do think that when I'm at a show,
Speaker 4: I'm like, well I'm a little older.
Speaker 2: They'll think I work in the business.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, like periodically not in saye, this could go
Speaker 6: for quadrant and.
Speaker 5: People, Yeah, Capitol Records choose from.
Speaker 2: What does four quadrant mean?
Speaker 5: I don't know. It just sounded like a thing, one
Speaker 5: of those you make it up. I did make it up.
Speaker 5: I guess. I think of it as like when like, oh,
Speaker 5: a movie is four court. It's like Barbie.
Speaker 6: Everybody sees it, so oh, I maybe imagine that there's
Speaker 6: a similar.
Speaker 1: It hits all quad right, Yes, there's four quadrants of life.
Speaker 1: And if you can hit all four with your content,
Speaker 1: yeah you're set.
Speaker 5: That's the goal. I just gotta go for quadrant with it.
Speaker 1: Off hand, Jordan, do you know of a drive through
Speaker 1: Starbucks that's nearby?
Speaker 6: You are on a street, it has a drive through Starbucks.
Speaker 6: A line might be a little long, but you know.
Speaker 2: Never care.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's more time to spend with two of my favorites.
Speaker 4: You know a lot of the conversation peaks while in
Speaker 4: the coffee line.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we start really digging for it. Yeah right,
Speaker 2: and if.
Speaker 6: You yeah, if you wait for Machiata long enough, Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: we got some We got some weirdos outside the plant.
Speaker 2: And that's Karen gave him a good thumbs down.
Speaker 1: Oh, they won't forget that thumb down anytime.
Speaker 5: Looking in the mirror, they're packing up.
Speaker 2: They gave up. They just tore apart up Bible. They
Speaker 2: must be members of the power.
Speaker 6: To you, you mean you want to get in your
Speaker 6: right lane and it'll be coming up pretty soon.
Speaker 5: It's a pretty nice Starbucks right there.
Speaker 6: I see the old green lady peeking above the Dell
Speaker 6: Taco right there.
Speaker 2: Oh there she is. Yeah, you know that logo that
Speaker 2: means I give up with my horse of hands.
Speaker 5: No, I don't know the bathroom code.
Speaker 2: She's saying, you have to buy something first.
Speaker 1: She's demanding my bottle of water.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I am a royalty. Does it look like I know
Speaker 2: where the restroom is? I'm a double mermaid. Go to hell.
Speaker 4: It is a logo that has nothing to do. We've
Speaker 4: just given it a pass. What is up with a
Speaker 4: Starbucks logo? What does it mean?
Speaker 5: Sure?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet, I bet if you searched HERU on
Speaker 6: TikTok long enough, you'd find some explanation as to how
Speaker 6: it was an Illuminati symbol, yeah, or.
Speaker 1: Some sort of you know, what's what's his name?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Don Fisher, the CEO of Starbucks who also tried to
Speaker 1: run for president.
Speaker 5: That's right?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do remember his dumb presidential run,
Speaker 6: but I don't.
Speaker 1: So bad the ship that he was saying, where I'm like, oh,

Speaker 6: the stars, beautiful place to see a show. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: feel like I love X, But like if I see
Speaker 6: a band, I like kind of like I will go
Speaker 6: see thet Pappy and.
Speaker 4: Harriots because it's like the greatest I like going there
Speaker 4: just just for a wide rimmed hat with some embroidery
Speaker 4: on it.
Speaker 5: Yeah sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So it's like kind of people going to do
Speaker 1: a full experience, not just see a band.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think you could do a little. Uh, you
Speaker 6: could like thrift for some Wolf shirts. While you're there,
Speaker 6: you can go to a used bookstore and get some atlases.
Speaker 5: Yeah. These are all fun high desert experience.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have they have a Thomas Guide specific used bookstore.
Speaker 2: Right, do you want to get an old Thomas Guide?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: And then the one, uh, the one that that was underwhelming. Uh, guys,
Speaker 6: I saw all this Costello and didn't love it.
Speaker 1: Was he doing some sort of a different thing?
Speaker 5: No, well kind of he was doing.
Speaker 6: He seems to be bored of all of his songs, sure,
Speaker 6: and now wants to jam and riff on all of
Speaker 6: them and just make it impossible for you to like
Speaker 6: sing along or know what song it is until the
Speaker 6: very end when you kind of recognize some of the lyrics.
Speaker 6: He's he's jamming, he's riffing, he's throwing in new lyrics.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just you know, it's not what I want.
Speaker 4: And now I went to see Elvis Costello with you,
Speaker 4: and I believe I was in Walker because I'd just
Speaker 4: done my hip surgery.
Speaker 2: I was, Yeah, I was getting out there too early.
Speaker 6: That was a very I have a poster from that
Speaker 6: that I look at fondly and remember that lovely night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we did have a good night.
Speaker 4: I remember going in the little uh, the little access
Speaker 4: elevator that took us.
Speaker 2: Own the car. That was the best part.
Speaker 4: It took like ten minutes and it was like a
Speaker 4: scene from Austin Powers. It just took us like four
Speaker 4: feet and we laughed the whole time, just so I
Speaker 4: didn't have to go up a set of stairs.
Speaker 2: But that those songs were piano accompaniment.
Speaker 4: The guy playing was doing the bird backgreck stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was a little more chamber music, and I
Speaker 6: like that stuff.
Speaker 2: I like the soundtrack to Nodding Hill.
Speaker 5: Play something from Notting Hill, It's the hill Ship.
Speaker 4: But most of it was yeah, his old ladies radio
Speaker 4: radio type.
Speaker 5: Sure.
Speaker 1: I have a lot of trauma from my old roommates
Speaker 1: who were theater musical theater gals who used to love
Speaker 1: to sing along with Elvis Costello in full musical theater
Speaker 1: voice boy, And when I tell you, it drove me insane.
Speaker 1: And then when later on I think you guys were
Speaker 1: talking about like the chamber music thing, was the Was
Speaker 1: it that Juliette letters or.
Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, yes, I think it is called the Juliet
Speaker 6: Letters Write.
Speaker 1: Or something like that, where it it was so up
Speaker 1: their alley, where they're like, it's the guy we love
Speaker 1: doing stuff we like like or I was like, I
Speaker 1: am absolutely gonna leave this house and never come back
Speaker 1: because it was so irritating and not fun.
Speaker 5: Yeah, what if this was boring in Noodle Lee and
Speaker 5: had nothing you could sing along to?
Speaker 1: What if Elvis Costello it seems like he had something
Speaker 1: to prove about violins. Shit, you're good at it already,
Speaker 1: You're already good. It's like when stand up comics are like,
Speaker 1: I'm a really serious actor, and it's like, no, you're
Speaker 1: fucking not at all. You're not.
Speaker 2: You're really good at the harder thing.
Speaker 1: H you dumb ass, right right, I'm yelling at Elvis.
Speaker 2: Still right.
Speaker 6: Somebody tell you don't like cells enough, so you wanted
Speaker 6: to prove them wrong by creating a boring.
Speaker 1: All You're right, I've never given chamber music a chance,
Speaker 1: God damn it.
Speaker 6: Yeah sure and and yes and that also, uh, that
Speaker 6: also lines up with the like.
Speaker 5: A comedian who wants to explain a political thing to
Speaker 5: you now in an unfunny way.
Speaker 4: Yeay, y, yes, very much as of late, What is
Speaker 4: the last live music y'all saw. I'm worried that it
Speaker 4: was that show where I pretended to be an influencer.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, because prior to that, it was the with
Speaker 4: you and Brandy going to see Less than Jake, which
Speaker 4: I missed because I had it was fun.
Speaker 1: Oh well, you mentioning Brandy. I with Brandy, Brian Cook,
Speaker 1: Kevin Sesha we went to see the Old ninety sevens.
Speaker 1: I think that was my last one. Was that it
Speaker 1: was good because it was at that club that's on
Speaker 1: Hollywood Boulevard that that I'd never heard of before, and
Speaker 1: it's this like it's a two room I think it's
Speaker 1: two showrooms, and it was really perfectly sized. I think
Speaker 1: it was like five hundred people or eight hundred people.
Speaker 1: So it was like this really rocking small show cool
Speaker 1: compared to I've seen them way bigger places or whatever.
Speaker 1: But it's just like, I just love that band, right,
Speaker 1: They're so goddamn good. Talk about guys who understand that
Speaker 1: you want them to play the songs you like the end,
Speaker 1: they're just great at it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that is it.
Speaker 6: I feel like that has maybe something that that performers
Speaker 6: notice when you walk into somewhere, You're like, this room is.
Speaker 5: The perfect size. Yeah, Like I feel like I think
Speaker 5: that too.
Speaker 6: And I always get a little jennery when it feels
Speaker 6: like someone's playing a place that's too big or too small.
Speaker 1: Or like sit down. Like I saw Patty Griffin play
Speaker 1: at the will Turn Okay, which I know is like
Speaker 1: a great place and like lots of people like it,
Speaker 1: but I was I had also seen her once at
Speaker 1: the House of Blues, like in the early two thousands,
Speaker 1: and it was like way cooler when everyone was standing.
Speaker 2: Up like at a show.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sitting down energy is not great for some kinds
Speaker 1: of music, and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it really Yeah, it can really torpedo something that
Speaker 6: demands standing.
Speaker 1: It's like, we're not a church.
Speaker 5: How am supposed to cross my arms and tap my foot?
Speaker 1: Come on, I want to talk quietly to someone and
Speaker 1: sing along. I wonder, though, here's a theory that I
Speaker 1: just thought of when you were saying the thing about
Speaker 1: him noodling and doing versions. Do you think that Elvis
Speaker 1: Costello hates this new trend of full audience singalongs because
Speaker 1: it is something that's really happening these days that I
Speaker 1: don't think that the majority of musicians love.
Speaker 4: Right or like people clapping along. I love when I
Speaker 4: see on a video some Oh please don't do that.
Speaker 2: You all think you have RhD them, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't handle it.
Speaker 2: That's throwing me off.
Speaker 1: But the singing is like the audience is just doing
Speaker 1: takeover kind of drunk karaoke singing, sure, which must drive
Speaker 1: some people batty.
Speaker 4: It's funny because I was fully belting out, built to spill.
Speaker 2: I was like singing it, but I was far away.
Speaker 4: I knew they couldn't hear me, but I wanted the
Speaker 4: people sitting around.
Speaker 2: Me to hear me.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that matter the most.
Speaker 4: I just want them to be comforted that if something
Speaker 4: happened during the show, I could cover.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, one's stressed out.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, I want to bring them when you go.
Speaker 5: To the show, when they're in LA.
Speaker 6: Are you going to like go backstage and try And
Speaker 6: I just smooze, Yeah I did.
Speaker 5: Oh you've done this already, yes, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: And he was so cool and nice and appreciative that
Speaker 4: I recognized that, oh that you did a Halo Benders song.
Speaker 4: You know, I made sure to say it, But I
Speaker 4: was such a nervous dork. I blurted thing. I'm like,
Speaker 4: I don't even know what I'm saying. I really became
Speaker 4: fifteen years old again. I was saying stupid things.
Speaker 5: Is your mom let you have pineapples? Yeah? Yes?
Speaker 2: Why do I always ask about fruit?
Speaker 5: Your mom not let you have pie?
Speaker 4: Some people think pineapples are an invitation for a threesome.
Speaker 2: Swingers.
Speaker 6: Actually, specifically, I was having dinner one night at the
Speaker 6: home of a married couple. They were like cooking dinner,
Speaker 6: and I was like, I should bring a bottle of
Speaker 6: wine to this, so but you know, I was super late.
Speaker 5: So I just pulled into seven eleven and got.
Speaker 2: Karen, do you hope this goes to a threesome? My fingers?
Speaker 6: Oh, girls, now I feel pressured at better lie.
Speaker 5: And I, you know, grabbed the ten dollars bottle of wine,
Speaker 5: got to the.
Speaker 6: Car and noticed that the the brand that I got
Speaker 6: WASNA And.
Speaker 5: Then we actually had a threesome.
Speaker 6: And it was great and not weird. Everyone knew exactly
Speaker 6: what to do.
Speaker 2: I love though that it was.
Speaker 1: I was it was going to be a label with
Speaker 1: like a little pineapple at the top or something.
Speaker 2: It's just monogenous.
Speaker 5: Let me ban your wife you watch.
Speaker 2: What the fuck?
Speaker 6: That's great Francis for that old Yeah, dude's a nasty cock.
Speaker 1: What these days, Jordan, is the thing that you're enjoying
Speaker 1: to do when you're looking for a distraction.
Speaker 6: Oh, let's see distractions.
Speaker 5: Yes, I love them.
Speaker 6: You know what I've I've been enjoying lately a classic
Speaker 6: errand really post office, we're.
Speaker 5: Talking dry cleaners, yep. Bank, I've been really enjoying.
Speaker 6: I did even the bank today and I'm like, this
Speaker 6: is great, I'm getting.
Speaker 2: It done today.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, And it's there's these kind of things that you
Speaker 6: you know that these are these things you could be
Speaker 6: doing online, Like most of this stuff I should have
Speaker 6: replaced with its online version at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know.
Speaker 6: I still like mail my bills and I'll like go
Speaker 6: into the post office.
Speaker 5: Oh really, yeah, I don't know. There's something soothing about it.
Speaker 1: Also, ship goes down at the post office, like there's
Speaker 1: usually an anecdote will come from having gone to the
Speaker 1: post office.
Speaker 6: Yeah, my post office dude sings sometimes, will just like
Speaker 6: be singing behind the glass.
Speaker 2: It's nice.
Speaker 5: Nice.
Speaker 4: Yeah, There's something about running an errand where it's like
Speaker 4: immediate because the things.
Speaker 2: We all work on it.
Speaker 4: It's like, well, I'm gonna put all my passion into
Speaker 4: this thing and hopefully there's a payoff in a few years.
Speaker 4: Whereas being at home and helping my dad rake leaves
Speaker 4: was like such a therapeutic, like it was an errand
Speaker 4: and look at progress.
Speaker 6: And now I'm going to quibble, Chris, that's a chore,
Speaker 6: that is, and I also enjoy a good chore. Let's
Speaker 6: let's let's fine, let's agree on the difference between.
Speaker 5: A chore and an air.
Speaker 1: Let's hold some boundaries.
Speaker 4: I can't believe my uh my, oh, I forgot what
Speaker 4: the word is when your parents give you money because
Speaker 4: I never got it allowance, allowance, and my allowance hasn't
Speaker 4: gone up for helping my dad.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I want to dive into traffic right now.
Speaker 2: I'm with you and I'm present.
Speaker 1: Do you feel Jordan, or can you think of something
Speaker 1: like that's a fun thing that happened because you went
Speaker 1: out and did an errand as opposed to you know,
Speaker 1: bill paying it or whatever that you can think of
Speaker 1: that's a recent one, an enjoyable moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, please, yes, I did. Everyone knew what to do.
Speaker 6: And on the topic, of something weird happening at the
Speaker 6: post office. I uh, this is not an excuse for
Speaker 6: the for a plug. The thing I was dealing with
Speaker 6: you can't get anymore. But I had done this. I
Speaker 6: had done this story in an issue of Archie, and
Speaker 6: I was like mailing out some like issues to people.
Speaker 5: So I would like you know, uh.
Speaker 1: So because you authored a comic book issue I did.
Speaker 5: Yes, I did.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so tons of fun. They're sold out, but if
Speaker 6: folks want to get them, I could probably tell you that.
Speaker 2: We do the plugs at the end.
Speaker 5: You don't, probably like I can't. I can't pay attention
Speaker 5: because I don't know where to get this Archie comic.
Speaker 1: Write this in your notebook now, sure? Morris dot net,
Speaker 1: I that is.
Speaker 6: My that's my website for thank you dot com to expensive,
Speaker 6: Sir doesn't care relatively inexpensive bunch cheaper. Some fan bought
Speaker 6: Jordan Morris dot pizza and had it rerouted to my
Speaker 6: website for a while, but he let it expire, so
Speaker 6: I'm kind of mad at him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me get to know you against your will.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it might have been a might have been something
Speaker 6: like that, but I thought it was a fun.
Speaker 5: Goof but anyway, Yeah, I'm not mad at you. Really
Speaker 5: thank you for doing that initially.
Speaker 1: But only because I don't understand.
Speaker 5: You can get dot pizza for things. It's like a
Speaker 5: suffix on a website, and.
Speaker 1: It's just a new part of the Internet, I think.
Speaker 2: So, yes, yeah, the web is deep.
Speaker 4: He's gonna talk about that time they rolled around and sauce.
Speaker 2: Deep dish.
Speaker 6: So there's a special rate at the post officely for
Speaker 6: mailing media media like books.
Speaker 5: They always ask you is this a book or a CD?
Speaker 6: I guess, but I was like, oh, it's a book
Speaker 6: of trying to get the media rate.
Speaker 5: So he's like, but what it's like? But what kind
Speaker 5: of books? I'm like, these are they're comics? Like what
Speaker 5: kind of comics? Like, Oh, they're they're Archie comics.
Speaker 6: And he looks at me and he's like, there's a
Speaker 6: warehouse in New Mexico that has over a million Archie comics.
Speaker 6: And then he just rang me up and I'm like,
Speaker 6: what are you talking about in New Mexico. Yeah, it
Speaker 6: was like a weird code. I still think about it.
Speaker 6: Oh what was he He.
Speaker 4: Just it was it his way uh to say, hey,
Speaker 4: I'm into comics too, and I think it's cool.
Speaker 5: I think so. Yeah.
Speaker 6: But also he's telling me about a secret bunker or
Speaker 6: something like that.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Yeah, I took it as he was trying
Speaker 1: to powerplay you to say, huh do you think that's
Speaker 1: special because there's millions of them? In a way, I
Speaker 1: saw it with my own eyes. It's bringing the value
Speaker 1: of all Archie comics down some ship.
Speaker 5: Why are you even mailing these? It's mainly trashed people.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you did and take it that way,
Speaker 1: because I bet you he didn't mean it though, But yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, do.
Speaker 6: I think what threw me was the New Mexico thing.
Speaker 6: To me, that's where like your secret shit goes down? Yes,
Speaker 6: so I think I've been thinking this is some sort
Speaker 6: of like survival bunker. Or maybe they think that the
Speaker 6: comics will be valuable. I guess that's what they call
Speaker 6: as kids like, Oh, these are valuable anyway.
Speaker 4: Just somewhere else with Archie comics, an Alien Corpse and.
Speaker 1: And Jeffrey Epstein Seamen, they got to keep it somewhere.
Speaker 2: That's a good one.
Speaker 1: This is what I tell myself because I so often
Speaker 1: use Instacart to grocery shop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's son like, I love it.
Speaker 1: So much that it's like bee boo boo boop, and
Speaker 1: then I just tip people good.
Speaker 2: So I don't feel guilty about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, but it's like, that's just an opportunity to
Speaker 1: interact us life with my fellow man. But that I'm
Speaker 1: literally just being like, Nope, I don't want to, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that's good. I think that's unhealthy.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: Have you have you guys like automated your lives?
Speaker 6: Have you guys automated the post office and the bank
Speaker 6: and stuff out of your life?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: I haven't. Actually I don't know why. It's old timy
Speaker 4: of me. But if a check is an important amount
Speaker 4: to me, I'd like to hand it to a person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, someone you know that can make mistakes.
Speaker 6: Yes, I know that's my logic too, but I also
Speaker 6: I'm also like, but also, this ATM is probably less
Speaker 6: fallible than the human.
Speaker 2: Right, But there's.
Speaker 5: Maybe in the argument free.
Speaker 1: I hear you seem to be and the strikes are
Speaker 1: yeah right.
Speaker 5: Sorry now, but I support tellers. I walk up to
Speaker 5: the teller, I want to keep them employed and right.
Speaker 4: It's so sad to go in there and there's those
Speaker 4: twenty booths and there's just the only utilize one.
Speaker 2: Yeah has everybody's drink tellers. Mine's great.
Speaker 4: Mine is uh boy, if they put any milk in this,
Speaker 4: it was only a splash, like a literal drop.
Speaker 5: But I like it.
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 6: Surprise everybody's doing caffeinated drinks so late we're in.
Speaker 4: I know, I think we all knew that we're gonna
Speaker 4: be tossing and turning later.
Speaker 2: But you know, me and my threesome, I just ken't
Speaker 2: bring it back but blaming it on tour.
Speaker 5: I listen, I listened to this podcast.
Speaker 6: You'd say you say three some five times in the episode.
Speaker 6: You're always trying to wedge it in like a fourth
Speaker 6: person wedges themselves into your.
Speaker 2: For too many I'm sorry, can you guys?
Speaker 5: Do you guys do afternoon coffee? Is often I can't
Speaker 5: do it anymore.
Speaker 2: I try not to.
Speaker 1: But then when we record this, I often find that
Speaker 1: it's now almost Pavlovian where I'm so excited as we
Speaker 1: often go through go get coffee, So then I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2: I mean, I really need this coffee today.
Speaker 1: And it's that kind of thing, as if we're about
Speaker 1: to like go live on ESPN for three.
Speaker 2: Hours or something or it just like results, right, and
Speaker 2: come on, let's go back to the board.
Speaker 5: All the counties are weighing in.
Speaker 4: I The reason I will be because I can have
Speaker 4: coffee and then take a nap immediately.
Speaker 2: It's just I've changed, I think, because I drink a
Speaker 2: lot of it.
Speaker 4: If I don't have it, I have a headache, like
Speaker 4: it's become a problem. But the reason I won't sleep
Speaker 4: tonight is I maybe he had a little bit of
Speaker 4: an Adderall.
Speaker 2: Oh, oh, that's why I've been Oh I.
Speaker 6: See just splash of Adderall yeah, just a splash.
Speaker 2: You know, I snored it. I'm not gonna because of.
Speaker 5: The stomach asked to break it down. Yeah, Now, I've
Speaker 5: never had Adderall.
Speaker 2: I haven't either.
Speaker 4: I'm afraid that maybe I'm a person that just judging
Speaker 4: by how I can perform as far as something like taxes,
Speaker 4: or give me a list of things I need to do,
Speaker 4: and I get overwhelmed by lists or numbers or or
Speaker 4: I think I do or that's my story. Not to
Speaker 4: use some language from Landmark, but I I find those
Speaker 4: things easier when I've had just a little bit. But
Speaker 4: but then later I have dreams about math problems that
Speaker 4: don't exist.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and restless leg I have dreams about playing soccer.
Speaker 6: Is it like a prescription that you have I get, Yeah,
Speaker 6: I have some connections.
Speaker 4: Yes, I have not yet been prescribed. I've just in
Speaker 4: a pickle in a pickle.
Speaker 5: When you're doing home pickling and it gets too overwhelming.
Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
Speaker 5: What am I gonna do with.
Speaker 4: Errand sealed courjar filmed to the brim?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's uh. I'm able to do things without
Speaker 2: getting overwhelmed.
Speaker 6: I took ADHD meds as a kid and kind of
Speaker 6: like got to a point where I, you know, did
Speaker 6: pretty well without them, but you know, had a little
Speaker 6: bit of a tough time a couple.
Speaker 5: Of years ago.
Speaker 6: I think this is immediately post pandemic, and like I
Speaker 6: had a job and it was kind of hard.
Speaker 2: So I like.
Speaker 6: Decided to kind of give ADHD meds a try again.
Speaker 6: And it made me so hungry. I was starving all
Speaker 6: the time. I was like going into an office for
Speaker 6: the first time, you know, since COVID and just had
Speaker 6: one of those grocery store containers of water melon slices
Speaker 6: in front of me.
Speaker 5: And just started eating.
Speaker 6: And then when it was done, I would whip out
Speaker 6: a Costco bag of almonds and just.
Speaker 8: Eat those really really weird because what you were taking, uh,
Speaker 8: probably was nothing like adderall because my thing when i've
Speaker 8: occasionally and it is very occasional.
Speaker 2: You guys don't have a problem, but if you do,
Speaker 2: you can talk about it here.
Speaker 4: Sure, you guys, there's so many there's a needle in
Speaker 4: my arm right now, I don't.
Speaker 2: I have no appetite, and I'll like forget to eat
Speaker 2: all day.
Speaker 4: So it's curious, curious different effects.
Speaker 1: I mean, but there's also that thing with offices where
Speaker 1: there is it was it a writing job.
Speaker 5: This was all I could talk about this.
Speaker 6: This is a It was a branded writing job.
Speaker 5: Oh, the best kind of men.
Speaker 1: We love brands here the deep art of a branded.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's really where I shine. Just helping a brand
Speaker 6: communicate their message to their fans.
Speaker 5: This was a This was a branded right. But they
Speaker 5: pay pretty good.
Speaker 6: I could, they're they're you know, they're sometimes a little annoying,
Speaker 6: but they could.
Speaker 5: They could pay great because ad companies just throw weird
Speaker 5: amounts of money at things, that's sure.
Speaker 6: So this was so this was a popular online shooter game.
Speaker 5: And they wanted to do.
Speaker 6: Boy, everyone thought this was something different, But the way
Speaker 6: it was pitched to me is they want to do
Speaker 6: like a the Soup type clip show with clips of
Speaker 6: people playing their game. So it would be like people
Speaker 6: who were like Twitch streaming their game. And they wanted
Speaker 6: to take all the funniest clips and put them together
Speaker 6: in a little show where like a host would make
Speaker 6: fun of them. And so, you know, fine, okay, sure,
Speaker 6: so we like, you know, spend a lot of time
Speaker 6: like collecting these clips, writing jokes about the clips. And
Speaker 6: then their note when they came back was no one
Speaker 6: playing the game can be interpreted to be a bro
Speaker 6: and no one can be getting angry.
Speaker 5: And I'm like, well, what the fuck do you want
Speaker 5: us to show?
Speaker 6: Do you know who plays online military shooter games? It
Speaker 6: was yeah, God, I one of them said something like
Speaker 6: find people playing reading poetry while they're playing the game.
Speaker 5: I'm like, what.
Speaker 2: Someone actually said that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, no shitty fifteen year old in a Monster
Speaker 6: Energy T shirt will be reading poetry while they play
Speaker 6: this realistic military shooter.
Speaker 5: It was wild.
Speaker 1: Also, Wow, why do they think they can dictate reality? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like you have to cull from what exists, not
Speaker 1: like that's like the executive used to always say, make
Speaker 1: us a viral video.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's like you don't make viral videos.
Speaker 1: Sure fucking weirdo.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, like make a chipsy Hoy viral video where
Speaker 6: people say how much they love chips.
Speaker 5: But don't say anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, no bros. I mean that's kind of amazing
Speaker 1: for a brand to be like, we gotta we gotta
Speaker 1: get away from this bro energy and it's like, okay
Speaker 1: for call of duty.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I was doing that and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 6: so I think I was just like having a hard time.
Speaker 6: I mean it could have been because I was frustrated
Speaker 6: by the process.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, stuffed down those feelings with some.
Speaker 2: Chips ahoy.
Speaker 5: Off the clock.
Speaker 1: I just can't stop pitching.
Speaker 2: I used to love.
Speaker 1: We had there, like craft service tables getting set up
Speaker 1: and then the craft service person trying to get creative
Speaker 1: for how people can be like eating food quicker, faster, better,
Speaker 1: like as they walk by. So our craft service person
Speaker 1: at one point poured all of the eminem's into cereal
Speaker 1: like plastic cereal containers. Yeah, so you could just pour
Speaker 1: huge handfuls of eminems oh yeah, Like as you walked
Speaker 1: by where I was like, this is really smart, and
Speaker 1: it's like, no, it isn't. You can't stop eating eminems
Speaker 1: now like you're acting like now this is your fucking
Speaker 1: job to go and get huge handfuls of eminems.
Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, all of that.
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in craft service and the jobs
Speaker 1: that it does for you as a stressed out writer.
Speaker 5: Totally.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like the little packages of Eminem's probably a
Speaker 6: little bit wasteful, but also you need to physically open them,
Speaker 6: so maybe it prevents you from.
Speaker 1: Yeah sure, just housing ten thousand of them.
Speaker 5: It straightened your mouth.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That time when we worked at Fuel and I was
Speaker 4: my desk was right next to a Red Bull refrigerator. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I just was like, well, I need to try
Speaker 4: and have another idea, So I guess I'll have another.
Speaker 2: One that it's just soda pop.
Speaker 4: Sure, and then cut to me limping because my body
Speaker 4: turned against me.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I experienced something really similar when and I worked there.
Speaker 5: The Action Sports network that's not around anymore, but it
Speaker 5: is on my TV.
Speaker 2: It's just based in Portugal, I think.
Speaker 5: So I think they're like Library of footage.
Speaker 6: Went somewhere, so I think you could like watch it
Speaker 6: on the Samsung channel or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I do watch.
Speaker 6: Oh, I also see it on I'll see the Little
Speaker 6: Bug the little you know what logo.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'll see it. When I'm in an Islands.
Speaker 6: Hamburger Chain Islands, I will sometimes catch some old fuel TV.
Speaker 2: Right, that's a match made in heaven.
Speaker 5: It kind of is it is like, this isn't exactly
Speaker 5: where this should be playing. Try and go wider with this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's Islands and shark themed.
Speaker 5: Tacos, right, yeah?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, but I yeah, I had a really bad
Speaker 6: energy problem when we worked there.
Speaker 5: I would twitch. I'm like, why is my eye twitch? Now?
Speaker 6: It's like, well, and you know, maybe also take note
Speaker 6: of the fact that you're sweating blue.
Speaker 1: You've taken in so much touring that your system doesn't.
Speaker 2: Know what to do.
Speaker 4: And then you try and look up the non FDDA
Speaker 4: approved touring and it's simply a word that means.
Speaker 2: Of the bowl. It's aar. We're talking about stamen danger.
Speaker 1: I actually they used to have at the old Earwolf offices.
Speaker 1: They had cold brew on tap and I went there
Speaker 1: one time to do someone's podcast and I had already
Speaker 1: finished a venti Starbucks just black coffee, and then I
Speaker 1: saw oh, cold Brew on tap. I'd never interacted with
Speaker 1: cold Brew, and I went over and just filled up
Speaker 1: my ventie and it was like, delicious, this will be
Speaker 1: my coffee for the podcast.
Speaker 2: Drank it.
Speaker 1: Of course, everything went swimmingly during the podcast, and then
Speaker 1: on the drive home that amount of cold Brew caffeine
Speaker 1: like hit my system and without having any emotions.
Speaker 2: I know, I've told you this.
Speaker 1: Story, but I had no like there was no negative
Speaker 1: thought process or anything like that. My eyes just started crying,
Speaker 1: like I was just like suddenly, it was like I
Speaker 1: was stressed past the point of having any kind of
Speaker 1: thoughts or feelings about it. It was just like this
Speaker 1: is this is really bad. And I just started kind
Speaker 1: of crying into the sun as I drove on the
Speaker 1: one oh one to try to get home. It was insane.
Speaker 5: Boy. Yeah, I feel like whatever whatever that year was
Speaker 5: where cold Brew made the leap.
Speaker 6: From, this is not refreshing ice coffee anymore. This is
Speaker 6: a yeah, this is a club drug you drink.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, seriously, because even like if I had had a
Speaker 1: little you know, teacup amount that would have been probably
Speaker 1: too much for because I had already had a bunch
Speaker 1: of coffee.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: When you dump that cold brew onto something else, oh,
Speaker 6: just the worst.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And if it keeps being available, will continue to drink it.
Speaker 4: And I am, of course thinking of alcohol when I
Speaker 4: say it, but I have I.
Speaker 2: Don't know what it is about me. And I'm that
Speaker 2: way with food too.
Speaker 4: I'll overeat because I'm like, well, I don't know the
Speaker 4: next time I'll have access to a bunch of lasagya,
Speaker 4: So I will just eat so much right because I
Speaker 4: might want it Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Sure, what if I never have lasagna?
Speaker 5: Yeah, And you're like, I'm having a terrible day. I
Speaker 5: just hate Monday.
Speaker 1: Fucking Odie's bugging me, fucking Odie.
Speaker 2: And boy does my owner make me roll my eye?
Speaker 2: Or another nurse had.
Speaker 1: We used to have that a little bit growing up though,
Speaker 1: because we did. I grew up five miles out of town,
Speaker 1: out in the country, so on the weekends before my
Speaker 1: sister and I could drive, if we ran out of something,
Speaker 1: my parents would just be like, too bad, We're not
Speaker 1: going to the grocery store until the week So there
Speaker 1: was a weird I think that did instill a little
Speaker 1: bit of eating disorder in us where we were just
Speaker 1: like we got to get it now while we can
Speaker 1: like stock that stock up mentality, which is it isn't
Speaker 1: great for you know, preteen girls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I think my sister and I
Speaker 2: had that same thing.
Speaker 4: And also if we had food in front of us,
Speaker 4: we would guard it with our arms and if I
Speaker 4: hand entered the.
Speaker 5: Situation, you'd swat at it with a spoon.
Speaker 2: And I don't know why. It's not like I grew
Speaker 2: up hungry.
Speaker 1: I just maybe did you grow up in family jail?
Speaker 2: I grew I actually grew up in Deer Lodge prison.
Speaker 1: Oh that's why.
Speaker 2: A normal state accredited institution.
Speaker 5: I had a bit of.
Speaker 2: A knifing problem as a child.
Speaker 6: You make great toilet wine, I will say, I've always
Speaker 6: loved your toilet in the block. Yeah, that is something
Speaker 6: you kind of have to like learn when you start showbiz,
Speaker 6: is the like you don't have to eat every free thing.
Speaker 5: It's hard not to, but.
Speaker 1: And actually you're depending on your the area you're in,
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to, which then makes it even more like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, there's on some TV shows I've been
Speaker 1: like on set, and like my friends had parts on
Speaker 1: and they're like, look at this, and you walk over
Speaker 1: and it looks like a one of those stationary kind
Speaker 1: of tool foxes, but really tall, like a siling cabinet.
Speaker 2: Right, and like a snap on cabin.
Speaker 1: A snap on cabinet filled with full sized candy bars,
Speaker 1: right that. I saw that once and I was just like, well,
Speaker 1: that's horrible for all the people that can't like they're
Speaker 1: they're not allowed to look like people who eat full
Speaker 1: sized candy bars whenever they feel like it. Oh no,
Speaker 1: it's the one way street, I mean dead end street.
Speaker 4: We're at a race car driver's house.
Speaker 5: Some sort of conflatable boat hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, whose house is this?
Speaker 5: They're cool. That's why that.
Speaker 1: Guy was staring at me. He's like, don't come down
Speaker 1: my street.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a sportsman. Good thing.
Speaker 4: He's in back repairing a jet ski. That's a that's
Speaker 4: a Jordan Morris joke.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, for.
Speaker 4: Whatever reason, describing someone as a jet ski repairman rights,
Speaker 4: whatever reason.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's I've that is just like I think a
Speaker 6: jet ski is so funny, and like a person who has.
Speaker 5: One is so funny.
Speaker 2: Which where did you grow up?
Speaker 6: Orange County, oh Orange County, California, where many a jet
Speaker 6: ski enthusiast lives.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think I just always you know, to me, that
Speaker 6: is always shorthand for like, you know, uh, excitable dumb guy.
Speaker 1: That has a bit of a that has a tendency
Speaker 1: towards mechanical stuff.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and also maybe like an excitable dumb guy who
Speaker 6: like doesn't want to do the fitness part of sports,
Speaker 6: who just wants to like blast around.
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Puts me in the mind of the viral video of
Speaker 1: the turndown for what people on the boat that are
Speaker 1: racing in the boat too fast and then they crash,
Speaker 1: but they're all on video.
Speaker 5: I don't think I've seen that.
Speaker 1: Oh, please look it up and enjoy. It's so hilariously
Speaker 1: violent and like because it's the guy that's like speeding
Speaker 1: in a speedboat. They're all on video and they know
Speaker 1: they're on video, so they're trying to be cool. And
Speaker 1: then he hits a wake and it is like a
Speaker 1: boat crash, but they someone put turned down for what
Speaker 1: underneath it, and that's perfectly sync to them crashing, and
Speaker 1: it is like you have to it's the funniest thing
Speaker 1: you've ever seen that sounds great.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that if I'm I think that was
Speaker 4: one of the videos we had to make fun of
Speaker 4: on World's Dumbest And I did a little research. I'm like, wait,
Speaker 4: someone broke their femur, Like I don't want to well.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm not saying you or what.
Speaker 4: Maybe it was a different one it maybe it was
Speaker 4: a different video. But a lot of these are resurfacing
Speaker 4: because you know, TikTok.
Speaker 6: That should be a thing at the end of fail
Speaker 6: videos for the empathetic among us.
Speaker 5: They should just have a list of how hurt everyone got.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, like you know how at the end of
Speaker 6: Animal House you kind of learn what happened to everybody,
Speaker 6: Like there's a longer than the video segment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, where you learn how hurt everyone.
Speaker 2: That's a really good idea.
Speaker 1: Then you can just get it off your you can
Speaker 1: like fully cackle because I am truly addicted to TikTok.
Speaker 1: My sister and I laughed about it this morning because
Speaker 1: I have a niece who's seventeen. So my sister got
Speaker 1: on TikTok like immediately when she got on it, right
Speaker 1: and started sending me TikTok's constantly, and I would watch
Speaker 1: hers as like in a text. But then if you
Speaker 1: don't get onto TikTok, I'm just gonna drive her. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you don't get onto TikTok and you you access
Speaker 1: it like as a non member or whatever, it'll just
Speaker 1: show you the next video it to show you okay,
Speaker 1: And every time it would be like a funny falling
Speaker 1: down video or something comedic, and then the next video
Speaker 1: would always be like a twenty seven year old girl
Speaker 1: crying into Every time it was a girl crying into camera,
Speaker 1: and it drove me insane, like it would make me
Speaker 1: so mad where it's like I don't want to watch
Speaker 1: these people crying on video, like what what is this?
Speaker 2: So finally my sister's like what they do?
Speaker 5: You know what? They're crying about?
Speaker 1: It all Like sometimes they're crying to explain.
Speaker 2: Like I'm just really done with caring about what people.
Speaker 1: Think, and you know what, I guess it gets that
Speaker 1: kind of shit.
Speaker 2: But there's times they're crying about boat crash victims.
Speaker 1: Other times they're feeling we were just trying to have
Speaker 1: phone on the phone and then the guy put for one.
Speaker 2: Laughing at my femur.
Speaker 5: TV.
Speaker 1: But we now are so addicted to it and send
Speaker 1: each other so many tiktoks that we were laughing this
Speaker 1: morning that most of our conversations are us reviewing the
Speaker 1: tiktoks we've already sent each other, like it's that bad
Speaker 1: and that like we're that weirdly obsessed with it. But
Speaker 1: I just love There was a video my sister sent me,
Speaker 1: and it's a girl getting up to go say something
Speaker 1: to her, either friend or sister, and the sister there's
Speaker 1: just a set of you know, regular people's, you know,
Speaker 1: normal set of stairs, and this girl just comes sailing
Speaker 1: down the stairs and it looks like she dove from
Speaker 1: the top on purpose. She clearly tripped at the top
Speaker 1: stair whatever, And it's so funny but sound I did
Speaker 1: definitely totally guffaw and then go, there's no way she's okay, right,
Speaker 1: because but then it's like, but her friend or sister
Speaker 1: posted it, so she must be over sure, right.
Speaker 5: Yeah right?
Speaker 6: You see her fall down the stairs, and then it's like,
Speaker 6: you know, nineteen eighty seven, twenty.
Speaker 4: Three Louis send flowers and who have likes please donate.
Speaker 1: This is how we remember her sailing through the air.
Speaker 6: What is your I'm because I'm not on TikTok.
Speaker 5: I just got on Instagram. Guys, I'm behind.
Speaker 6: You know, I enjoy being sent a good TikTok, but
Speaker 6: they talk about you know, it gets so hyper personalized
Speaker 6: with the algorithm.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I'm curious as to what your TikTok is.
Speaker 1: Oh I can tell you, yes, so many of them.
Speaker 1: And this really I'm going to be very vulnerable with.
Speaker 2: Both of you.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people explaining to me that we're
Speaker 1: now in a clip season and that's what this means
Speaker 1: for a Trus Aquarius CEO or whatever. I get more
Speaker 1: than those that I'm actually comfortable with because I really
Speaker 1: like them and I really listen to them. And there's
Speaker 1: a lot of it's gotten very specific people reading to
Speaker 1: roe cards and kind of giving readings, and they say
Speaker 1: all the same stuff at the beginning, where it's like
Speaker 1: if you found this, there's no hashtags, that means this
Speaker 1: was meant to be, And then they just kind of
Speaker 1: hype you up for three minutes and basically.
Speaker 5: Are watching the video.
Speaker 2: You're just basically.
Speaker 1: Saying like, oh my god, girl, the most amazing things
Speaker 1: are about to happen to you, and you're just like mmmm,
Speaker 1: and it's very embarrassing, but I absolutely eat that ship up.
Speaker 1: And then there's all kinds of like funny. It's it's
Speaker 1: a lot of girls coming into their own making like
Speaker 1: whatever wherever that's called face fronting, what's it called that
Speaker 1: kind of video is a forward facing video or whatever?
Speaker 5: Frontal threesome.
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of girls being funny.
Speaker 1: So like there's you know, men doing like men's rights stuff,
Speaker 1: and then they're stitching it. So there's a guy that's like,
Speaker 1: how come women don't make dinner anymore? And then this
Speaker 1: girl just stitches it and she's laying in bed and
Speaker 1: you can only see part of her face and she's like,
Speaker 1: how come men don't get lost at sea anymore? And
Speaker 1: it's just like shit like that where it's it's light,
Speaker 1: it's fast, it's funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're done, we're moving on.
Speaker 4: Yeah. A lot of that, it's low commitment and even
Speaker 4: if the joke doesn't hit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, watch the next one exactly. Yeah, good stuff.
Speaker 1: And then like Australian shepherds hurting their shit ton of sheep,
Speaker 1: I'll get I'll get one of.
Speaker 5: Those nice that sounds real nice.
Speaker 1: And there's a guy I love who who cleans clog drains,
Speaker 1: like in the street when there's like a big puddle
Speaker 1: in the street and he goes with his rake and
Speaker 1: cleans it out so that the puddle goes away. Oh neat,
Speaker 1: that one's very That's.
Speaker 4: Different than the guy that landscapes for free. Yes, oh wow,
Speaker 4: because I like that.
Speaker 2: That guy's the best.
Speaker 1: I love him. Yeah, and there's a bunch of people
Speaker 1: that copy him now where they basically go around making
Speaker 1: their cities look beautiful because they know it's good. So
Speaker 1: they'd be like, come to this and be like, I
Speaker 1: offered to do this for free, and then they just
Speaker 1: clean everything up and make it look like real estate ready,
Speaker 1: and it's usually old people's houses so they just can't
Speaker 1: maintain shit anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it makes me happy. I love it.
Speaker 4: And you're watching something to completion, Yes, you know it
Speaker 4: sounds like.
Speaker 5: My last reason.
Speaker 4: Every well, everyone knew their job and they did it perfectly.
Speaker 6: Just like those sheep dogs, those sheep Have you seen
Speaker 6: the bottles falling down the stairs and you got to
Speaker 6: guess whether or not it's going to break?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like those.
Speaker 1: There's a subset of those of people watching the bottles
Speaker 1: and then saying what sign the bottle is? But when
Speaker 1: they break and how they break, it's so I mean,
Speaker 1: like people are just so funny.
Speaker 2: I remember, look at her with her grandma. I remember,
Speaker 2: go back back to you know.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is about my TikTok feed. It'll be
Speaker 1: like all of that, and then it'll be something like
Speaker 1: this little girl walks with her grandma every day to
Speaker 1: blah blah blah whatever it is, and it'll be some
Speaker 1: story and I will start crying in like minute one
Speaker 1: and a half and like I'm just watching it in
Speaker 1: between like meetings that I have that day, but now
Speaker 1: I'm fully crying and have to recover and then get
Speaker 1: ready to.
Speaker 2: Look at their kids.
Speaker 6: I'm just trying to like, hey, kids, and they're great shape,
Speaker 6: so I'm not wearing my glasses.
Speaker 2: They gotta add chest hair.
Speaker 5: So fun have you?
Speaker 6: What what is your general interest level in like astrology staff?
Speaker 1: I just like anyone who wants to talk about me
Speaker 1: or any part of me in my life. So that
Speaker 1: kind of thing where it's like you are, this thing
Speaker 1: is coming up for you.
Speaker 2: It's like great, let's hear it.
Speaker 1: Any kind of like it'll be good or better or
Speaker 1: this or that. You know, if you're worried about this,
Speaker 1: don't worry about that type of stuff. I just find
Speaker 1: it helpful in a weird way, knowing that it's like,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's what they're telling me is exactly
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. But I just kind of it's
Speaker 1: like a nice idea that it's like, I don't know
Speaker 1: they're tapped in and yeah they had good news.
Speaker 5: Sure, I don't like.
Speaker 6: Like like anything in the you know, religious or woo
Speaker 6: woo camp Like.
Speaker 5: It's helpful to help you think about things. Sometimes we
Speaker 5: need help to process things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can be. It could be useful these days.
Speaker 1: And it's a fun distraction. If it's just full of shit,
Speaker 1: sure it's fun. What's your sign, Jordan.
Speaker 5: I'm a Taurist.
Speaker 2: I'm aious.
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, look at us.
Speaker 2: There's an American car that has exactly what you've been
Speaker 2: looking for. Taurus.
Speaker 5: I don't remember that commercial.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's from ninety one.
Speaker 5: So what are our traits? Were stubborn?
Speaker 2: Stubborn?
Speaker 5: I'm not. I'm kind of a doormat. That's fake.
Speaker 1: We like to eat food, Yes, they always talk about that.
Speaker 1: We're earthy, we're stable, loyal, but then we're long fused.
Speaker 1: But then if you make us mad, it's all over.
Speaker 5: Oh I don't I think some of that's true about me?
Speaker 5: Chris sign Chris Aquarius.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I always hear. It's usually a bad
Speaker 2: sign to most people. And that's what I've been turned
Speaker 2: off by.
Speaker 4: What astrology is people judging me right away because of
Speaker 4: where the moon was when my parents had sex. So
Speaker 4: I I am always because I usually get oh boy,
Speaker 4: you're a handful, and I'm like, what you There are
Speaker 4: people I know that actually make decisions about me upon
Speaker 4: learning when I was born.
Speaker 2: So I maybe it's very Aquarius of me. That's classic.
Speaker 5: What do you know? What the traits are supposed to be? Like?
Speaker 5: What are they? What are they afraid of?
Speaker 1: They're like stual and different, They're always looking for innovation
Speaker 1: and there they are easily detached and easily kind of
Speaker 1: like get out, non emotional.
Speaker 2: Oh maybe I am an Aquarius.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it is usually someone earnestly saying oh boy,
Speaker 4: and I've always wondered why we go, But then when
Speaker 4: I read about it or I haven't very much, it's
Speaker 4: it does apply to me. So I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 4: guess I am that way.
Speaker 5: I don't think you have to like interpret those as
Speaker 5: bad qualities.
Speaker 4: No, I'm just tired of people pulling out the death
Speaker 4: card and telling me it isn't.
Speaker 5: A bad thing.
Speaker 4: The beginning stabbed with a sword. No, yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 4: stab those gifts my.
Speaker 5: Heart, this tree cards about to go.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like I think it's interesting on
Speaker 1: TikTok because people just do what other people are doing
Speaker 1: and what they know to be popular. So it's like
Speaker 1: it's actually supposed to be a toro reading, but they're
Speaker 1: talking about your sign. So they're like kind of combining
Speaker 1: things and there's a little bit of like, you know,
Speaker 1: they're kind of pretending to guess the future. There's all
Speaker 1: kinds of stuff going on in these things where it's like,
Speaker 1: if you really want to argue any of it, it
Speaker 1: would I think fall apart pretty quickly. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I still kind of like it because it also then
Speaker 1: you just pick it by the person. So it's like
Speaker 1: if it's like a hippie looking lady and she's like, hey, there,
Speaker 1: I have a message for you, it's like, oh, the
Speaker 1: hippie has a message for me. But then if it's
Speaker 1: like someone really young and that's talking really fast, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't care what you have to say, Like what
Speaker 1: if it was all destined?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm always skeptical of the fast talkers too, I
Speaker 6: mean they talk fast.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I did get someone sent me a TikTok once of
Speaker 6: this very fast talking, very good looking guy telling me
Speaker 6: about how you don't have to be a senior citizen
Speaker 6: to get an aar P card.
Speaker 5: Just send away for it. Just get to the movies
Speaker 5: the card. You can do it, get a card.
Speaker 2: For real.
Speaker 5: It's so hot, dude, this dude was.
Speaker 1: I always say that where I'm like, oh, these people,
Speaker 1: like I hate the idea of having to make video
Speaker 1: content because these people are so beautiful, and everyone's like Karen,
Speaker 1: it's filters and I'm like, what do you mean, Like
Speaker 1: I didn't. I am not from any of that world
Speaker 1: where it's like, oh, those people are like at some point,
Speaker 1: it's not their face at all.
Speaker 6: Sure, yeah, yeah right, it might as well just be
Speaker 6: the Pikachu head you can put on there, or.
Speaker 1: Like the guy that had to do the Zoom judgment,
Speaker 1: he couldn't change his head from being a cat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was fun.
Speaker 2: There's no one that didn't like that.
Speaker 1: That was great viral content.
Speaker 5: Sure, and it really got me to buy chips a Hoy.
Speaker 5: I bought with a Costco and I just loaded up
Speaker 5: on chips a Hoy. That single.
Speaker 1: I just it was craving it after that.
Speaker 4: The one time that I will and it was a
Speaker 4: long time ago, but I was haunted by it. I
Speaker 4: was walking into a bar in Zola with my good
Speaker 4: friend Zach and a woman stumbling out of the bar.
Speaker 2: An older lady was like, hey, Aquarius, Hey Scorpio.
Speaker 4: Knew and we did not. I'm like, are you a Scorpio?
Speaker 4: And he's like yep, and I'm like I'm an Aquarius
Speaker 4: And we pretty much just wanted to go home in
Speaker 4: that moment, like it was. And that was at a time,
Speaker 4: you know, the nineties where you know, it was less popular.
Speaker 6: Yeah, listen, I know the bit's getting a little old,
Speaker 6: but why did they turn into a three seas?
Speaker 2: I yes, I don't want to.
Speaker 5: Keep doing the bit. I think this one was fine.
Speaker 5: We maybe should have called it there, but this sea,
Speaker 5: you know, a lady comes.
Speaker 2: Out and you're serving it up. Yeah, she would have known.
Speaker 4: Her part we all would have been in sync. I
Speaker 4: just didn't let it happen. I blew it.
Speaker 2: I was the Nah was she leaving the bar? Or
Speaker 2: was she?
Speaker 1: Were you guys going in and she was leaving? Yes,
