Speaker 5: how Denver.
Speaker 1: You know what they say about Denver. You don't like
Speaker 1: the weather in.
Speaker 2: Denver, then you probably don't like snow that much.
Speaker 5: You probably just are a person that isn't happy for
Speaker 5: light with life and weather isn't your problem. It's a
Speaker 5: very large bumper stick it's a long bumper sticker, and
Speaker 5: it ends with something about therapy.
Speaker 1: Just wait five minutes. That's what it is. There, it is,
Speaker 1: which is true. One time I went there with friends.
Speaker 5: We were skateboarding downtown and then all of a sudden
Speaker 5: it snowed six inches, really more than a couple inches,
Speaker 5: like six inches.
Speaker 1: Then it melted and it was sunny again.
Speaker 2: And then you went. You did water skiing.
Speaker 5: Then we did water sports. We went to the mountains,
Speaker 5: We did mountain.
Speaker 2: Sports, mountains board, then.
Speaker 1: We hit the beach. We did all three in one day.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, every terrain.
Speaker 1: It was a triathlon.
Speaker 2: Congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 1: I won.
Speaker 5: I've won a metal. I threw it with crayon and
Speaker 5: it's mine.
Speaker 4: Oh, everybody's driving too close to this police.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, just because it's his job to almost
Speaker 5: get hit by a car, it doesn't mean he should
Speaker 5: get hit.
Speaker 2: He shouldn't, especially not by a bike.
Speaker 5: Well, those two were just kind of being a little nonchalant.
Speaker 5: They should keep their eyes open.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they really should.
Speaker 4: And this guy needs to stop commuting on a bike.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, this is Los Angeles. It is not more
Speaker 4: where bikes are helpful.
Speaker 5: There was a he wasn't the mayor, but we did
Speaker 5: have a mayor that would ride bikes, that ride his
Speaker 5: bike to work every day in a no in not
Speaker 5: sorry in Missoula, Montana. And then there's some other government
Speaker 5: official that every single.
Speaker 1: Day he was on his bike with a bright yellow helmet.
Speaker 5: It's one of the most vivid memories I have of
Speaker 5: childhood as seeing this elected person on a bike, and
Speaker 5: I always thought that.
Speaker 1: Was kind of cool. That's why we had sprocket man.
Speaker 4: Oh were you guys being like get out into nature
Speaker 4: and do move around type of stuff.
Speaker 5: It is a town where bikes are a big that's
Speaker 5: everyone rides bikes like it's great and this city I
Speaker 5: want to ride a bike and I have a bike
Speaker 5: for riding.
Speaker 1: But it's just not a bike friendly town.
Speaker 2: It's not a friendly town at all.
Speaker 4: And then when it comes to bikes things get really intent.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a downright bike unfriendly town.
Speaker 4: Now, there are some streets that do have bike lanes,
Speaker 4: but most of them do not, so you will like
Speaker 4: if you have in a bike lean on sunset and
Speaker 4: you take her right on Vine or that's not a
Speaker 4: good example. A smaller street's just fucked because then now
Speaker 4: you're in traffic.
Speaker 6: Yep.
Speaker 2: And I think that I can't remember who it was.
Speaker 2: Someone I knew.
Speaker 4: And this was like in the late nineties early two thousands,
Speaker 4: like started riding her bike everywhere, and every time I
Speaker 4: saw her.
Speaker 2: She's like, I fill up my bike and she'd.
Speaker 4: Have like cut hands and cut knees, and there was
Speaker 4: someone would hit her like crazy shit where I was
Speaker 4: just like, yeah, this doesn't seem like a good plan
Speaker 4: to like ride your bike to the west side.
Speaker 1: Sounds like she had a lot of negative energy.
Speaker 2: I think she was real negative.
Speaker 5: I want to When I lived by the beach, there
Speaker 5: was bike lanes. I could ride my bike around. But
Speaker 5: I'm not where I'm at now, not near downtown. No, no, no, sir, no,
Speaker 5: thank you. It's too I'm you know, I'm cautious even
Speaker 5: getting out of a car after parallel parking. I just
Speaker 5: think every car is a sleep and going to come
Speaker 5: towards me.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 2: I think that's the way to do it. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: there's so many people on pills in this town. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so many people.
Speaker 5: I mean, half the time they'll run India because they're
Speaker 5: mid pill popping.
Speaker 4: They're choking on a huge valium most of the time.
Speaker 1: This whole city is it?
Speaker 2: Are you too warm?
Speaker 1: I feel great?
Speaker 2: Okay, great?
Speaker 1: Wearing a north face shell if you must know.
Speaker 4: I must Who are you wearing?
Speaker 5: But I can unzip it, and there's little vents. I
Speaker 5: can unzip it.
Speaker 2: I can unzip it.
Speaker 1: I can take the sleeves off.
Speaker 5: I can tie the sleeves around my head like a headband.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I can do a whole character with this jacket.
Speaker 2: Oh my god. The valley guy with the VESTI.
Speaker 4: Oh, no way.
Speaker 1: That's what he'd say a lot.
Speaker 4: No way, my course, freezing, I have to run this
Speaker 4: yellow I'm sorry, my extremities have deacclimated.
Speaker 5: No way, no way, digits, you're frosty.
Speaker 2: Okay did I Stephen? Am I on the wrong street
Speaker 2: for this place? For the drive through?
Speaker 1: I think I make a left?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's what that's telling me to do to
Speaker 5: pick up our next next guest.
Speaker 1: So it's on the way. Perfect, it's perfect.
Speaker 4: We have planned this, and then this fucking Nissan Juke
Speaker 4: won't get the fuck out of the way, and.
Speaker 1: That's the name of the car. It was not you know, Oh.
Speaker 4: No, that was not a slur.
Speaker 2: It's all vehicular juice. Slander is a juke.
Speaker 1: Now correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 5: Juking is when like you're in a holloway and someone's
Speaker 5: trying to get past you and you do a little
Speaker 5: side shuffle.
Speaker 1: Shimmy, there it is, and you have your hands out.
Speaker 4: I don't is that true.
Speaker 2: I've never heard that word juke come out. Am I wrong?
Speaker 2: Am I hallucinating? I am so sorry.
Speaker 4: I can't confirm or deny because I'm not sure. Okay,
Speaker 4: thank you, Stephen.
Speaker 1: God.
Speaker 7: It feels like we're going to McDonald's for McDonald's coffee.
Speaker 4: I'm pretending that I think McDonald McDonald's a Starbucks because
Speaker 4: I just want to get fries.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, see you're tricking yourself. Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: probably the same corporate ownership.
Speaker 2: I thought this was green.
Speaker 8: Man.
Speaker 1: Don't get me started. Man, there's all one eye in the.
Speaker 2: S they're all watching you at night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, from a eyeball mounted on the top of a pyramid.
Speaker 1: Man, All the presidents used to bathe together.
Speaker 2: I've never heard of.
Speaker 4: I'm so totally there's tunnels. Don't let me bring up
Speaker 4: Denver again.
Speaker 5: Man, there's a tunnel going from the capitol straight to
Speaker 5: a bath house.
Speaker 1: And that's where they do all their business dealings.
Speaker 2: Man, laptob just scrubbing each other's back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, super anti woman and fuck it weed man.
Speaker 4: Times a week.
Speaker 5: Here we go again with maybe in the hot one
Speaker 5: on my side, it's a it's a it's like a
Speaker 5: Dan Drift shampoo to commercial. Yes, my side is tangling
Speaker 5: and foggy, and yours.
Speaker 1: Is clear and crisp and flake free.
Speaker 4: And even I don't know what's going on. I'm trying
Speaker 4: to do like three things at once. Would just have
Speaker 4: a conversation with you, figure out why the entire car
Speaker 4: is steaming up, and not overuse the AC for sound issues.
Speaker 5: And it's a job in itself just to decide for
Speaker 5: what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: I really like all the presidents take badd together. I
Speaker 4: want to watch the docu series about that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just if you get someone talking about Illuminati,
Speaker 5: it all melts into one thing.
Speaker 1: And maybe I added the bath house. I don't.
Speaker 2: I think the bath house element is fresh.
Speaker 4: I think we haven't seen bath house and comedy or anything.
Speaker 4: The seventies, it kind of you know, went out of favors,
Speaker 4: became taboo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the age of aids, and now it's back.
Speaker 5: Well, it's a meeting play, that's it's it's the patriarchy.
Speaker 1: A bath time.
Speaker 2: That's where they get together in a bathtub.
Speaker 4: Yeah, a giant bathtub, like the neighbor Kid, the mean
Speaker 4: Kid from Peewee's Big Adventure.
Speaker 2: Oh God, I love that bathtub so much.
Speaker 4: It was I mean.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid, I was like, this is
Speaker 1: just a swimming pool.
Speaker 5: But if you watch that show again, it is indeed
Speaker 5: a bathtub in a giant in a giant bathroom.
Speaker 2: It's a like it.
Speaker 4: Looks like a waiting pool out that would be outside
Speaker 4: a bank, but he's swimming in it.
Speaker 5: I was such a fan of Pee Wee's Big Adventure,
Speaker 5: written by Paul Rubins and Phil Hartman.
Speaker 4: Is that true?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Phil Hartmon helped him right there still some little groundling
Speaker 5: boys because.
Speaker 4: Phil Harmon used to do Did you ever see the
Speaker 4: Peewee's live stage show The Old One No Like from
Speaker 4: the eighties.
Speaker 2: Phil Harmon played Cat and Carl.
Speaker 4: He played this sea captain that would stop by, but
Speaker 4: capt'n Carl didn't make it into the Big Adventure.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is of course way before Saturday Night Live,
Speaker 5: or it seems way before.
Speaker 1: It was probably seven years.
Speaker 5: But that movie and it's Tim Burton. A lot of
Speaker 5: people don't know it's one Tim Burton's early movies.
Speaker 2: Is that true?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't think I knew.
Speaker 5: It is so great. Jan Hooks is so great in it.
Speaker 5: I love Pee Wee's Big Adventures so much. I thought
Speaker 5: it was so funny. And when I was a kid,
Speaker 5: I had Pee Weee Herman.
Speaker 1: Shirts and people would get you did great, thank you.
Speaker 2: It was scary.
Speaker 5: You know, you're being assertive and if someone were there
Speaker 5: that that means that they were aggressively trying to turn
Speaker 5: on the outside.
Speaker 2: Which you know they'll do.
Speaker 5: Yeah they will. Sounds aggressive. Thank god, we're not a
Speaker 5: bike again.
Speaker 4: Let's just underline that. Wait, what was the point you
Speaker 4: were just making that?
Speaker 5: Oh, just if you haven't seen he was a Big
Speaker 5: Adventure watching because it holds up and it's so funny,
Speaker 5: and I was just a fan. I wore T shirts
Speaker 5: and I remember almost getting beat up at the Western
Speaker 5: Montana Fair because I had this like kind of.
Speaker 1: Like uh screen, what was the Andy Warhol painting.
Speaker 5: It was like he did it with a bunch of people,
Speaker 5: but the famous one was Marilyn Monroe. But I had
Speaker 5: that of Peewee's head when I was a kid, and
Speaker 5: it was just so cool, and bullies would want to
Speaker 5: fight me.
Speaker 1: They were threatened somehow by Peewee.
Speaker 4: Did it look like Peewee had makeup on because it
Speaker 4: was like blue totally?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I was wearing a quote unquote gay shirt.
Speaker 5: And back then that's why you get beat up at
Speaker 5: the fair.
Speaker 4: That was like you were putting in your your submitting
Speaker 4: your form to request to be beaten up.
Speaker 5: Yes, I was had an affair. I sent it in
Speaker 5: ahead of time and I was first in line.
Speaker 4: I attached my check. I actually didn't staple it. I
Speaker 4: put a paper clip on it. So Whenden screw up
Speaker 4: your machine, I'm sorry my request. I'm sorry I didn't
Speaker 4: indoors said check.
Speaker 2: Now I was.
Speaker 4: I believe I was either eleven or twelve when that
Speaker 4: movie came out. So that movie hit our lives. It
Speaker 4: took over our lives. I know almost every word. It
Speaker 4: was the movie that everyone in the family wanted to watch.
Speaker 4: My dad thought, what was the.
Speaker 2: Part that he talked. He talked about me make me.
Speaker 4: One when he was at the bar with the bikers
Speaker 4: and then he knocked He did the dance and then
Speaker 4: knocked the motorcycles over. It was like my father's favorite thing. Yeah,
Speaker 4: just every part about it. When he finally gets the
Speaker 4: part in the movie paging mister Herman, like, it's just wonderful.
Speaker 1: The front desk so good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it really holds up, and it's got scary moments
Speaker 5: like weird.
Speaker 1: It was Tim Burton, it was scary, it was creepy.
Speaker 2: Large march is such as Tim Burton, Joint.
Speaker 5: And Oingo Boing Go music, Danny Elfman music. It's got
Speaker 5: everything you want.
Speaker 4: Eg Daily Valley Girl line, it's a legend everything.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yati Dotty Dottie.
Speaker 4: Is Eg Daily, who was like the prima la actress
Speaker 4: from eighties seventies, eighties.
Speaker 5: I didn't know that, And when I was a kid,
Speaker 5: I'm like that lady's punk rock because she kind of
Speaker 5: talked like Valley She was like.
Speaker 4: Come on, she was come on. She was a lead
Speaker 4: singer of a really cool band and her like eg Daily,
Speaker 4: her music was in a bunch of eighties movies like
Speaker 4: there's you like, if you heard a song of hers,
Speaker 4: you'd be like, oh, I've.
Speaker 2: Heard that band before. Oh wow, Yeah, she's awesome.
Speaker 1: That's funny.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 5: I found myself googling her one day and she's still
Speaker 5: around and she's still cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Did you see the movie Valley Girl starring Nicholas Cage.
Speaker 1: No, no, I didn't.
Speaker 4: She plays one of the front If you ever want
Speaker 4: a great slice of the eighties, like literally, I think
Speaker 4: it was from nineteen eighty or eighty one, and it's
Speaker 4: basically the kid that's from Hollywood that's like a punk
Speaker 4: rocker meets and falls in love with a valley girl.
Speaker 4: And at the time that just meant like kind of
Speaker 4: a rich white girl in the valley. But everyone talked
Speaker 4: it was just that weird, stupid trend that exploded.
Speaker 1: Shane saw it.
Speaker 4: Like changed culture, like Frank Zappa changed publicly changed the culture.
Speaker 5: Now, Yeah, that song Frank Zappa, that's the song I
Speaker 5: think of when you mentioned that movie.
Speaker 1: It came before the movie.
Speaker 4: It had to write, Uh, I probably yes, because that
Speaker 4: the song started the trend.
Speaker 2: Wow, I don't know if that's a great question.
Speaker 1: Oh, it was like an impression.
Speaker 5: It was a voice my sister and I did together
Speaker 5: to bond yep entirely. She was a valley girl and
Speaker 5: I would be a valley boy alternating to all valid girl.
Speaker 4: Well right, but also that song holds up as well.
Speaker 4: I heard it on driving somewhere and it is so
Speaker 4: like you wouldn't think it was Moon doing the doing
Speaker 4: an impression. You would think it was an actual valley
Speaker 4: girl just being caught on tape.
Speaker 1: Oh, his kid was doing the voice.
Speaker 2: It's Moon unit Zappa.
Speaker 4: She's a hilarious, very talented, brilliant like performer writer. She
Speaker 4: does a ton of cool stuff. She has a podcast
Speaker 4: that Steven's engineered before.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I used to produce the podcast that she is
Speaker 7: called Launch Left Yeah, and she rolls. The song was
Speaker 7: made in nineteen eighty two and then Valley Girl with
Speaker 7: Nicholas Cage eighty four eighty three, so it must have
Speaker 7: been like inspired by this totally.
Speaker 1: You're right. It started it.
Speaker 4: It started all of it, and it changed, like I
Speaker 4: remember life before and after Valley Girl, because all of
Speaker 4: a sudden, everyone started talking like that, even if you
Speaker 4: lived in Pedlom the California were nowhere near the sand. Yeah,
Speaker 4: valley like it it caught fire and never went away.
Speaker 4: That's so funny, you know, it's fascinating.
Speaker 1: I noticed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, when I had lived in snowboard towns, which are
Speaker 5: in the mountains somewhere nowhere near or beach, everyone.
Speaker 1: Also talk like that, Like, oh, totally talk like this
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, wait, are you from Idaho? It's
Speaker 1: so funny.
Speaker 2: But it's like that they want to be that guy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's that he's laid back, he's fun and he
Speaker 5: doesn't beat people up at the fair. It was a
Speaker 5: simpler time with simpler minds. Also a good Man.
Speaker 2: Another classic from the eighties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are the best. But let's talking. Let's not
Speaker 1: dwell in the past.
Speaker 5: No, let's be in the present, the future and present
Speaker 5: future twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: Should we colonize the moon? Call in, write in, tell
Speaker 4: us what's your thought? Let's hear those hot takes?
Speaker 1: Is the earth flat?
Speaker 4: Let us know what's it like in your neighborhood.
Speaker 5: I haven't done much yet this year. I'm gonna go
Speaker 5: ahead and admit, Oh.
Speaker 4: Believe me, I've been absolutely on the couch, probably since
Speaker 4: the last.
Speaker 2: Time I saw you.
Speaker 5: I don't think we should count I've been on the
Speaker 5: couch a lot too. And I don't think I'm depressed.
Speaker 5: But I did watch a very very good news special from.
Speaker 1: Goldman Gary.
Speaker 2: Yes, the Great Depression.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Goldman Gary Goleman.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's great.
Speaker 1: It is really great.
Speaker 5: But also when he's sharing with me, he's very open
Speaker 5: in it, and he's sharing a lot and a lot
Speaker 5: of his examples of depression.
Speaker 1: I was like, wait, I do that. No, wait a minute,
Speaker 1: I do that too. Uh So I wrote him a
Speaker 1: note that he probably won't see.
Speaker 2: Oh no, I bet he will. And I'm sure he
Speaker 2: knows who you are.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 5: Everyone writes us nice things and I try and read
Speaker 5: them and try and respond, and if.
Speaker 1: Not, it's because it got buried with other life things.
Speaker 4: But again, this is just like the fucking Taurus pins.
Speaker 4: Where are they writing to you? I haven't seen it.
Speaker 5: I'm the trust pins are and I will bring them.
Speaker 5: We'll divvy him up again right now.

Speaker 5: or you know you I pretend your tweets are conversations
Speaker 5: you've had with me. You just posted him driving and talking, right, Yes,
Speaker 5: that was.
Speaker 2: The Christmas picking out a Christmas tree.
Speaker 4: He has a series on Adult Swim that is so
Speaker 4: like I put it on.
Speaker 2: At night just to feel better. Yeah, it's crazy great
Speaker 2: and I think you would adore it.
Speaker 5: It's really during a character you think, or that's what
Speaker 5: he's like. Yeah, because like Nathan Fielding Order Fielder. I've
Speaker 5: been watching Nathan for you late in Life, and I
Speaker 5: love it. But there are times he snaps out of
Speaker 5: it and it's like, but you know he's that person, right,
Speaker 5: but he can augment it for because he knows they're
Speaker 5: self aware.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think, yeah, I think people people
Speaker 4: that are that good are good.
Speaker 2: Sing it a little, sure, you have.
Speaker 1: To, but.
Speaker 4: You gotta goose it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what a nice pad.
Speaker 2: What spot I didn't realize.
Speaker 5: I will tell him we're here perfect, he asked, if
Speaker 5: we're still coming? Oh, sorry late, I think he's waiting
Speaker 5: for an apology there, I said, just do it.
Speaker 4: It doesn't hurt you to apologize, It doesn't diminish you,
Speaker 4: you know what.
Speaker 1: It actually feels good, even though it's a text. I
Speaker 1: don't mean.
Speaker 2: It still feels great. Just start texting sorry to everyone,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is for it's me, not you. I'll
Speaker 5: say sorry, it's me, not you. And then but I
Speaker 5: really mean, this is.
Speaker 2: For me, not you, it's to myself.
Speaker 1: I'll be out here soon.
Speaker 5: The point is, don't count January. Uh, everyone's recharged. Things
Speaker 5: aren't even in full working order. Your boss is still
Speaker 5: in Bermuda or whatever it starts in February. Whenever you
Speaker 5: promised yourself. You know, there's a lot of wiggle room
Speaker 5: in January.
Speaker 1: That's my point.
Speaker 4: It's kind of a great area and there are no
Speaker 4: hard and fest rules. I think January is just a
Speaker 4: desert of broken resolutions and people feeling shame about like
Speaker 4: only eight days ago, feeling great right now not feeling great?
Speaker 5: Yes, So that's what I don't like. The memory of
Speaker 5: a contrast. That's what's been bothering me. Is the top
Speaker 5: of the world around Christmas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, merely three weeks ago. You had it all going on.
Speaker 5: And all I've done in the last four days is
Speaker 5: hang a line to dry clothes on.
Speaker 1: But I haven't done the laundry.
Speaker 2: But you're prepared now when you do.
Speaker 1: I'm ready. It's real cool.
Speaker 5: It's got a little zip thing and I hook it
Speaker 5: and it goes across my courtyard. I've always wanted courtyard
Speaker 5: line drunk. Oh oh he's here.
Speaker 1: Oh Hi, Hi, James. Sorry, we're a little we ran
Speaker 1: into some trouble.

Speaker 5: There is that show. I've never done that show, Chatterboxes.
Speaker 5: Really yeah, I've never done it. I don't know why
Speaker 5: i've I've been because of a headache or something.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: I think that's probably because Steve hates me. But one
Speaker 5: time my ex was looking for a car. We were
Speaker 5: at a dealership and the guy was giving her a
Speaker 5: real run around, charging her for an extra code of
Speaker 5: paint and stuff like that. And then comedian came up
Speaker 5: and then he was such, He's like, I got that
Speaker 5: show every night, and he gave a big deal on
Speaker 5: that car.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Steve.
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically because you dropped the name of the Chatterbox,
Speaker 4: you got a deal.
Speaker 1: Oh. I lied and said it was my show.

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a big fan. Never met a booker.

Speaker 2: You're gonna subtilize this thing for the big red light.
Speaker 1: Could there be more potholds? James? Is that why you're crying?
Speaker 6: I did run over a nail today and actually needed
Speaker 6: a ride. I heard it, I heard I heard a
Speaker 6: tiny pop and then I was like, oh boy, and
Speaker 6: then I pulled over and there was like a nail
Speaker 6: attached to like a round thing so it would stand
Speaker 6: up like I was assaulted. Basically, it was a trap.
Speaker 4: It sounds like it was straight out of the ACME
Speaker 4: Attack Company, like something the road Runner would put down.
Speaker 6: Okay, I was on the run from the cops.

Speaker 1: Yeah. He just tap the gas cap with his belt buckle.
Speaker 4: James, is this have you lived in on the East Side,
Speaker 4: Like the whole time you've lived in La I was.
Speaker 6: In like I was on like Santa Monica and Vine
Speaker 6: basically my first five years.
Speaker 2: So I was that's kind of intense, it was.
Speaker 6: Did I loved it though?
Speaker 2: Did you see and fucked up ship over there?
Speaker 6: Literally there was a lot of ship playing around. It
Speaker 6: was sucked up all night, Brito standing.
Speaker 1: On Yeah, what's up my shoulders? No?
Speaker 6: I mean yeah, there there were a lot of helicopters. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 6: a lot of helicopters. Is there a landing pad mirror?
Speaker 2: They never land, they just chase, They're just birds.
Speaker 6: But no, it was. I mean I wasn't scared because
Speaker 6: I'm you know, I lived in Chicago for a long
Speaker 6: time in some bad neighborhoods. Yeah. But if if I
Speaker 6: were a lady, like if I ever had any lady
Speaker 6: friends visiting, and I mean friends who are ladies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know you to have those.
Speaker 6: Like, I would be like, where'd you park? I'll come,
Speaker 6: you know, because at night it could get a little chippy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the the three of clubs bars right.
Speaker 6: There, I think, yeah, and there's.
Speaker 2: Always a little action.
Speaker 5: In front of there across the street where there was
Speaker 5: what I there was a Yoshanoya bowl there.
Speaker 1: I think that is where.
Speaker 5: My first week in la is where I saw that
Speaker 5: a pimp beating up one of his client women. I
Speaker 5: saw a guy punching a lady and then that's when
Speaker 5: the cop shot up and said called her a not
Speaker 5: legitimate human great, which is a phrase apparently in law enforcement.
Speaker 6: Well, no, that was what's weird.
Speaker 1: That corner is scary.
Speaker 6: It seems like it's all kind of like gutten Swinkier now,
Speaker 6: like we got Rice out of there, and then you know,
Speaker 6: they just built condos everywhere, But it felt like there
Speaker 6: was just there was like a there was a difference
Speaker 6: as you went down in blocks from like oh this
Speaker 6: is Hollywood and Vine, this is Sunset and Vine. Oh
Speaker 6: this is Santa Monica Envine. Yeah, and then it got
Speaker 6: real sketchy until you hit like the mansions and I'm like,
Speaker 6: oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then it's turns right back.
Speaker 4: I mean that whole area is so that's where I
Speaker 4: almost hit the high school girls on the bird scooters
Speaker 4: who were writing on my side of the street toward
Speaker 4: my car, like screaming and writing straight to the front
Speaker 4: of my car.
Speaker 2: And then they just they just split like the like
Speaker 2: the Blue Angels.
Speaker 4: And then I was like, what the fuck's up with
Speaker 4: these scooter And that's how that's how I learned about
Speaker 4: the god.
Speaker 1: That was patriotic and beautiful. God damn it, it was insane.
Speaker 4: I almost killed three teens, But like that, the difference
Speaker 4: between like a hat trick, what's happening at the Taco
Speaker 4: Bell and what's happening like on Larchmont is.
Speaker 6: A world different, light years away crazy, and that taco
Speaker 6: bell is is truth. That's some deep truths there is
Speaker 6: that Taco bell.
Speaker 4: Also, it's one of the only taco bells really around
Speaker 4: unless you're like in the valley. I think, yeah, so
Speaker 4: you got to get there when you like, you know,
Speaker 4: when it's two thirty am and you're just ripped out
Speaker 4: of your mind, you gotta go down Vine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you can walk through the drive there still know.
Speaker 1: You guys, well try.
Speaker 5: That's where mbar was too a little further and that
Speaker 5: that's one of the first places I did stand up
Speaker 5: in town and parking. I never would pay for parking
Speaker 5: when I first moved here. I just didn't have money,
Speaker 5: And so you find yourself parking in the weirdest dangerous
Speaker 5: corners next to guys that are pretending to sleep.
Speaker 6: That are like lying in wait, yes, yes, like.
Speaker 5: A like a just a desert cat.
Speaker 1: Covered with a layer of sand and a knife. It's
Speaker 1: so scary.
Speaker 4: It's scary.
Speaker 6: I can tell how expensive your car is by the
Speaker 6: door slam, like, oh that's a good one.
Speaker 1: Oh right, right, that was a question.
Speaker 4: We're going into plan B. I'm awake and I'm now
Speaker 4: going to attack you based on everything you have in
Speaker 4: your car door.
Speaker 6: And the side streets were like so poorly lit. We're like,
Speaker 6: I mean, it was legit creepy at night sometimes and
Speaker 6: there's just maybe that's just changed, but just trash everywhere. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I'm not a prim man, but you.
Speaker 2: Are proper, proper luckily not.
Speaker 6: I'm kit no caboodle, you know me, you know how
Speaker 6: I am. But I'm like, la, put some fucking garbage
Speaker 6: cans out on the corner.
Speaker 1: Right, that's always a thing. Why not? Why not just
Speaker 1: a garbage can on every quarner?
Speaker 4: I think you know, you know why because there's a
Speaker 4: bunch of people here who thought they were going to
Speaker 4: get their own sitcom and it didn't work out, and
Speaker 4: they're just like, I'm going to eat this chilupa supreme
Speaker 4: and then throw the fucking wrapper on the ground because
Speaker 4: fuck everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's angry actors.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the whole city. And I'm one of them.
Speaker 6: And I am one of them, so.

Speaker 5: hanging pictures was not strong enough, and it was like,
Speaker 5: I'll replace that later. I could tell if I'd put
Speaker 5: any weight on it that the little hook would bend,
Speaker 5: and that's what when the earthquake happened, I'm like, well.
Speaker 6: That was the one broke I felt. I was about
Speaker 6: to walk into a show, Joe Chrissy's One Woman Show,

Speaker 6: Ibraiding for most of the day, you know, then nervousness
Speaker 6: and then guess kicking cigarettes is tough. It is like,
Speaker 6: so it's just a constant. I'm a constant three point four.

Speaker 4: thing that was like, here's what Lizzo does during her
Speaker 4: live shows, and there's like three straight hours of her singing,
Speaker 4: dancing and playing the flute. Like if she's so unhealthy,
Speaker 4: then maybe all be so unhealthy, right right?
Speaker 2: It was It was just super cool that that kind

Speaker 4: up to like day of is pure torture. It's like
Speaker 4: I have to do.
Speaker 6: To watch a performance of something that isn't your thing. Yes,
Speaker 6: it's great and it helps your thing.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: I always feel like it helps me with comedy after
Speaker 6: I've gone and seen a great show.
Speaker 4: Definitely, it actually helps me to watch other people do comedy.
Speaker 4: But then I just get super paranoid that I'm going
Speaker 4: to forget this the premises that they came up with,
Speaker 4: and then suddenly be like, ooh I have a great
Speaker 4: dry cleaning idea. Yeah, yeah, dummy, because you just watched
Speaker 4: someone else do it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if I go see a music show, it's not
Speaker 5: gonna be like, oh, that's my guitar rik because I
Speaker 5: don't play anything but trombone in eighth grade.
Speaker 2: Yes, once again.
Speaker 6: You always go back to an eighth grade we find
Speaker 6: in eighth grade and play it with my That's.
Speaker 4: When I cashed it in.
Speaker 2: I like that. You'd be standing at concerts being like, wait,
Speaker 2: is this mine?
Speaker 1: I didn't.
Speaker 4: I don't write no.
Speaker 1: Later on, when you're humming trying to think of songs, I.

Speaker 6: Simply sniffles.
Speaker 2: Who's bedween.
Speaker 6: She is very old school, kind of folky and an
Speaker 6: insanely beautiful voice, also catchy. She was born in Aleppo, Syria,
Speaker 6: to Armenian parents. Moved to America and when I just
Speaker 6: have this memorized. Moved to America when her family won
Speaker 6: a green card lottery. They settled in Boston and Houston.

Speaker 4: I love folk music.
Speaker 6: I love me too. I love it when it's when
Speaker 6: it's good, I love it well.
Speaker 4: Because also it's very hard because when you're not that good,
Speaker 4: it really fucking shows because you're either like super mediocre

Speaker 4: level because it's just you and your guitar, your voice,
Speaker 4: Like you.
Speaker 6: Have to I don't know, to make it look simple.

Speaker 2: Nope, no one can help you.
Speaker 4: And like, so the song has to be good, you
Speaker 4: have to have a great voice, and then you have

Speaker 1: And they're like, well, here take all our food.
Speaker 5: And it was just a big bin of butter and
Speaker 5: and then these leftover pizzas and just in my refrigerator.
Speaker 1: So of course I ate it all in twenty four hours. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well you don't want it to go bad exactly. God,
Speaker 6: throwing away food is a crime.
Speaker 1: I'd rather I go bad on the inside.
Speaker 6: Put it in the trash can.
Speaker 1: That's what I did.
Speaker 5: And I really can tell that I've been eating shitty energy.
Speaker 6: So bad and just blaming it on like I'm my family.
Speaker 6: I'm having family problem.
Speaker 1: I tell you to kill yourself.
Speaker 4: It works when you have like that kind of that
Speaker 4: kind of nerve rattling, nerve jangling, like onslaught emotional bullshit.
Speaker 2: It's like two bagels solves it.
Speaker 4: It fucking solves it.
Speaker 6: It was sorry, unrelenting bleakness. Yeah, and like in a
Speaker 6: bleak place like if this was if this was not
Speaker 6: happening in like a dead town nowhere, like it might

Speaker 1: No one is, even though you live right above Apple Bears.
Speaker 4: If you're experience human life in any way, you need Applebee's.
Speaker 6: I'm so hungry that Legit sounded so good right now.
Speaker 6: Like if I just lived above just the Aroma help me,
Speaker 6: I could just walk down.
Speaker 2: I could have caeso in my hand.
Speaker 5: When I moved to Austin and I lived above a
Speaker 5: faux like a noodle restaurant, so it was just constantly
Speaker 5: the steam of hot soups rising through the floorboards into
Speaker 5: my nose and into my brain, like the beckoning of
Speaker 5: a tasty, tasty treat.
Speaker 4: And I.
Speaker 5: Used to go I had no money, and I would say,
Speaker 5: do you have any leftover? And they would give me.
Speaker 5: They started knocking on my door and giving me noodles
Speaker 5: because all I had was a hot pad or a hot.
Speaker 1: You know, a surface. There's no kitchen, it was.
Speaker 2: A room, it was the windowsill.
Speaker 8: It was just just yes, like a pie that Yogi

Speaker 6: I lived above my favorite bar in Chicago?
Speaker 2: Oh shit, how did it go?
Speaker 6: It was fun, but I'm glad it had an ending, yes,
Speaker 6: because it's too easy. And it literally was like my favorite,
Speaker 6: Like it was the bar I first found when I
Speaker 6: first moved there that like felt kind of like, oh,
Speaker 6: this is my cheers. I met the own. They're great.
Speaker 1: Did you make you drink all the time? Though?
Speaker 6: They made me? Yeah? I get you.
Speaker 2: Wanna they overserved you.
Speaker 5: My friend Ryan, come on, I'm you're done for my
Speaker 5: friend Ryan in Boston, he lived above a bar, but
Speaker 5: the entrant he had to walk through the bar to
Speaker 5: get into his place. Oh, so he was like, come
Speaker 5: home and there was the hazard of someone handing him
Speaker 5: a shot or something that I'm just trying to go
Speaker 5: home and get some work done.
Speaker 6: That's like a fever dream from like an alcoholic movie
Speaker 6: from the Four Days. Yeah, yeah, yeah, anything he's walking

Speaker 4: Upper Hat and so we lived on Clayton and Waller,
Speaker 4: So we basically lived two blocks two blocks and then
Speaker 4: a quick right turn away from our favorite bar, and
Speaker 4: my big thing was I wanted to one night tie
Speaker 4: a rope from our front door to the bar so
Speaker 4: I could get as drunk as I wanted and get
Speaker 4: home like that. I was like, what if I just did,
Speaker 4: this would be okay? A zip? Yeah, that basically kind
Speaker 4: of like this is how I'm I was thinking more like.
Speaker 6: A bread crumb trail, Like you just grabbed the rope,
Speaker 6: all right, right.

Speaker 4: of life was when The Simpsons.
Speaker 6: If you say skunk bar.
Speaker 4: Ill know you're stealing Chris's idea. When The Simpsons began,
Speaker 4: there was a bar and Noe Valley that played it
Speaker 4: every I believe it was aired on Sunday nights, and
Speaker 4: so Sunday nights you would go to this bar at
Speaker 4: seven fifty nine and they would turn on The Simpsons
Speaker 4: and it would be packed, and then everyone would go
Speaker 4: quiet and then watch the Simpsons laugh. No one said
Speaker 4: a word, and then when it would go to commercial,
Speaker 4: everyone would start talking.
Speaker 2: And every Sunday that's how we.
Speaker 4: Went and watched the Simps so long, and it was
Speaker 4: like I could feel it where I'm like, this is
Speaker 4: a thing, this is like a cultural thing, and we're
Speaker 4: here for it.
Speaker 2: Like it was so exciting.
Speaker 5: Oh there, Yeah, it has to be in town a
