Speaker 1: I leave, then I you wanna way back home? Either way,

Speaker 1: you claim, and give us time and a terminol and
Speaker 1: gay aid.
Speaker 2: We want to send you off inside. We wanna welcome
Speaker 2: you back home.

Speaker 1: Do you need to ride?
Speaker 3: Ride with Karen and Chris?
Speaker 2: Welcome to Do you need to ride? This is Chris Fairbanks.
Speaker 1: And this is Karen Kilgear.
Speaker 2: I thought i'd change it up a little.
Speaker 1: I liked it. It was a little, uh, just lilty
Speaker 1: at the end.
Speaker 2: I've been waiting for someone to do an edit. I
Speaker 2: don't want someone to do this. By the way, this
Speaker 2: isn't a request, but I I feel like I say
Speaker 2: it so identically every episode that a a mashup of
Speaker 2: one hundred of them would be hilarious because I don't
Speaker 2: change it up. Ever, so I thought.
Speaker 1: That requesting that you're clearly just be honest.
Speaker 2: I'd like to now officially make a request to not
Speaker 2: have anyone do that.
Speaker 1: This is what a fule assignment. Just could you please
Speaker 1: assemble a hundred of the exact same intros of God book.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen because I said one hundred. I even
Speaker 2: had stipulation.
Speaker 1: Please don't not no, no, they won't. That's one hundred,
Speaker 1: so many don't worry about that.
Speaker 2: I ran today. I haven't run for a while, so
Speaker 2: my legs are shaking. And uh, but this kid as
Speaker 2: I was running, this kid, these kids were like throwing
Speaker 2: rocks at a fire hydrant or something, and they said
Speaker 2: run forrest, run, And it caught me off guard so
Speaker 2: much that I laughed and I didn't. I'm mad that
Speaker 2: they think that they said something funny. Not that that
Speaker 2: isn't one of my favorite jokes. It's up there with
Speaker 2: that's what she said as one of the all time
Speaker 2: best jokes.
Speaker 1: It's just should have turned back over your shoulder and
Speaker 1: been like that laugh was sarcasm. You're all hacks.
Speaker 2: I know. There's a million things just like, oh you
Speaker 2: think of the thing to say. I even looked over
Speaker 2: and didn't anything. But I looked over and one of
Speaker 2: them even looked right away a little like Gary Sinise.
Speaker 2: So I could have come up with a real good
Speaker 2: Lieutenant Dan retort, But no, I just ran good.
Speaker 1: I think that's best.
Speaker 2: There's just a lot of teenage bullies in my neighborhood.
Speaker 2: It's a rough area.
Speaker 1: Sorry today, will back us up.
Speaker 3: He grew up?
Speaker 1: Sorry, Hold on really quick. How old were these people?
Speaker 2: Thirteen maybe twelve? But they were confident and they were
Speaker 2: pretty big for their age.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I was running children today.
Speaker 2: I you know, I just think in this city they'd
Speaker 2: be used to seeing a jogger. You don't need to
Speaker 2: heckle people. It's just a rough neighborhood.
Speaker 1: You got to put those earbuds in and just jog.
Speaker 1: You could jog with the confidence of a thirteen year
Speaker 1: old throwing rocks.
Speaker 2: At a fire hydrat right, focus on my breathing, trying
Speaker 2: to have fun with it. These kids got the best
Speaker 2: of me today, and I wish that I just was
Speaker 2: a faster thinker. I think I'm losing my bead with retorts,
Speaker 2: but not with running, because man, was I going like
Speaker 2: the wind.
Speaker 1: Are you losing it with your intros?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: Let's check it out right now.

Speaker 1: kind of a decision.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The theater here, there's like a small little indie
Speaker 3: theater called the Charles Theater. And during the week it's
Speaker 3: like week nights, it's just empty. And so I had
Speaker 3: three weeks in a row I went and saw movie

Speaker 3: It was amazing. I got like so stoned on a
Speaker 3: doobie and I had like my perfect snacks. Oh the theater.
Speaker 3: The theater is right next to the train station, so
Speaker 3: where I smoke my doobies. I just watched the trains
Speaker 3: coming into the train station. It's like, oh, very picturesque. Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh it's gorgeous. And then uh yeah, and then I
Speaker 3: just like snuck in and I just got in my
Speaker 3: little seat and it was it was like and then
Speaker 3: like this year, of course there's like a million movies
Speaker 3: about like how cool movies are. Yeah, so it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, movies are cool.
Speaker 2: It's funny that those were your theater choices, because when
Speaker 2: I know when I pulled as to be like top
Speaker 2: done or something, it's like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know, I saw she said by myself,
Speaker 3: you know, a movie about the New York Times off gole,
Speaker 3: just the worst. I laughed at myself out loud in
Speaker 3: the theater, going what am I doing? But it was
Speaker 3: all that your new.
Speaker 1: That's your new Baltimore personality is kind of your intelligentsia.
Speaker 1: Are you one of those? Were you wearing kind of
Speaker 1: like a beret?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, And I just like I just like I
Speaker 3: just wait outside for anyone to talk to the movie
Speaker 3: about and like in real in real pontificating, like just
Speaker 3: like I really liked the compositions words like that, you know,
Speaker 3: composition and.
Speaker 4: Uh thieves, oh my god, yeah, and like references to
Speaker 4: movies that sound like movies that I should have watched
Speaker 4: like this.
Speaker 3: This reminds me of Bergman's Blue. Have you seen bergmann Blue? Blue?
Speaker 3: Was so good?
Speaker 2: Just to a passer by looking for where he parked
Speaker 2: his car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, in Baltimore or in the middle
Speaker 3: of the night, it's really it goes, it goes off cute,
Speaker 3: It's huge. I'm huge ye.
Speaker 2: To give like a tour of Baltimore. Tell us about
Speaker 2: the city, because I don't know much even though I've
Speaker 2: been there.
Speaker 3: It's a scrappy, scrappy city. We have a remarkable music
Speaker 3: scene in like every anything you can ever think of
Speaker 3: to listen to. There's like fifteen really great bands here
Speaker 3: that just put it out and they just play shows
Speaker 3: and they don't really I mean like not touring like
Speaker 3: nationally known acts. But like there's a great, great jazz
Speaker 3: scene that I wasn't really aware of, but like the
Speaker 3: jazz history is huge. So music. You like skating, don't you, Chris?
Speaker 2: I certainly do.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I don't. I don't really, but there's
Speaker 3: so many good like skates spots here that I've noticed
Speaker 3: that people are skating.
Speaker 2: Do people skate? I think I've seen footage near that wharf. Yeah,
Speaker 2: there is a wharf.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah. The water is the big like Forrest Straw
Speaker 3: because the aquarium dreams a right on the water and
Speaker 3: the quarrym was like incredible, it's the National Aquarium. It's
Speaker 3: really really cool. It's really cool.
Speaker 2: And that's where the War of eighteen twelve also, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was a battle there. That's all I know about Baltimore.
Speaker 3: We yeah, we held it down the War of eighteen twelve.
Speaker 3: And there's the tower yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a tower,
Speaker 3: and then there's and the people were behind in the tower,
Speaker 3: and then behind a wall, and then the British were
Speaker 3: like doing their fucking tho. It was the British date
Speaker 3: War of eighteen twelve. Now I don't know.
Speaker 2: That's all I know with Baltimore was part of that war.
Speaker 1: This is the idea that the War of eighteen twelve
Speaker 1: took place in Baltimore is absolutely new information to me.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 1: If I had to guess, I would have been like France.
Speaker 3: I thought it was. I thought it was like New Orleans.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that the War of eighteen twelve? That's what I
Speaker 3: always thought before I moved to Baltimore.
Speaker 2: If I'm wrong, I thought, probably, I know there's a
Speaker 2: Baltimore battle of some kind, and I I was hoping.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it is, and they celebrate there's like
Speaker 3: a day devoted to it. But I cannot remember what
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 1: Fourth of July.
Speaker 3: It was a fourth of July. No, no, it was the
Speaker 3: fourth of July. It was like it was that's what
Speaker 3: it was.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm confusing on that. Yeah, okay, I'm just
Speaker 2: remembering not the War of eighteen twelve, but a fourth
Speaker 2: of July in my youth.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm not good at. I'm not good at
Speaker 3: uh wrapping the city like Rob low is in the
Speaker 3: California commercials. Have you seen them?
Speaker 1: Yes? But Eric, what if you could become that? I
Speaker 1: think you should.
Speaker 3: Aim to be the Robb.
Speaker 1: Blow of Baltimore's California and just get out there and
Speaker 1: be like, we love it here. Yeah we have this tower. Also,
Speaker 1: never forget the War of eighteen never ever it was
Speaker 1: also with and then you explained.
Speaker 3: Mexico, Mexico or Canada. Yeah yeah, John Waters.
Speaker 2: And then take a step of your Atkins shake because
Speaker 2: Rob Lo, there's so many things you can ye yeaheah.
Speaker 3: I think that's what I think. I got to get
Speaker 3: into Atkins first and then let that set the tone
Speaker 3: and then just walk around the city, you know, trying
Speaker 3: to sell people on the city, which I think I'd
Speaker 3: be pretty good.
Speaker 1: In this commercial. What if the last shot was you
Speaker 1: shaving your mustache that you have now down to a
Speaker 1: John Water's mustache.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, because I only shower and shaved at
Speaker 3: the end of the day and I'm usually like really
Speaker 3: high and tired, and it just it gets real wild
Speaker 3: in there, especially if I have a lot of work
Speaker 3: that I get a lot to work with. I'm like,
Speaker 3: and last time I with this mustache, I tried. I
Speaker 3: was like, let me go John, let me just do
Speaker 3: a little bit of John and see what people say.
Speaker 3: And I fucked it up. And then so it's too thick,
Speaker 3: it's hard, it's hard to pull off. He's so it
Speaker 3: really is. It looks it's so meticulous. Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: I feel right now it's Waters, It's Waters, Watters ask Yeah.
Speaker 3: I saw him twice. I saw him walking out of
Speaker 3: Crazy rig Asians, which was amazing, with like twenty minutes left.
Speaker 3: He just like shuffled out of there.
Speaker 1: That's plenty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel it. And then uh, one time I know.
Speaker 3: Then I saw him at like, uh the Maryland Film
Speaker 3: Festival here, been trying a movie that he liked.
Speaker 2: So I didn't know that John Waters is famously from Baltimore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, big time, that's life time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, films everything in Baltimore. And one of my favorite
Speaker 1: and anything that's ever happened in cinema is in I
Speaker 1: won't be able to remember. It may be Female Trouble,
Speaker 1: but I can't remember which movie it is. But there
Speaker 1: is a shot that they shot of Divine dancing down
Speaker 1: the street and they did it. They just like put
Speaker 1: her on a street corner, got into a car with
Speaker 1: the camera and were like dance down the street. So
Speaker 1: everybody else that's in the shot is has not agreed
Speaker 1: to be in a movie. They don't know what's going on,
Speaker 1: and this probably to their eye, just a very large
Speaker 1: woman is just dancing her ass off down the street
Speaker 1: to music that isn't playing, and it in the movie.
Speaker 1: It's so fucking funny. Yeah, Like it is just one
Speaker 1: It's one thing that delights me to no end. If
Speaker 1: I was on a deathbed and someone came up with
Speaker 1: the phone, I'd love to see that, like right before
Speaker 1: I go, because it's one of my favorite things of
Speaker 1: all time.
Speaker 3: It was TikTok, like fifty years before TikTok. Now everywhere
Speaker 3: you go people are just dancing in the street.
Speaker 1: Yeah, fucking John Waters invented that, like street dancing, TikTok
Speaker 1: move and Divine did it alone amongst like hostels.
Speaker 3: Probably I got goosebumps. I got goosebumps thinking about Divine.
Speaker 3: It's so good. I've actually and I'm good and I've
Speaker 3: never seen any of John Water's movies. So this is good.
Speaker 3: This is good.
Speaker 1: That's a good one to start with.
Speaker 3: It's a good Baltimore primeer too. I think it's like
Speaker 3: we've been I've been here for five years now. I
Speaker 3: think it's good time to get into some Baltimore stuff.
Speaker 3: You guys are getting to it. This is cool, this
Speaker 3: is good. I'm glad now this is working out.
Speaker 1: I'm really glad we did this. I think it's important.
Speaker 2: I was there shooting a commercial and with Joe Flacco,
Speaker 2: who I didn't even know was like the Ravens quarterback
Speaker 2: or he was all the time, and he was really sweet.
Speaker 2: But he immediately befriended me on the set of this
Speaker 2: commercial because he knew I had no idea who he was.
Speaker 2: He was made me like him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: There is one scene in the commercial where I had
Speaker 2: to hike him a bag of Dorito's and then commercial
Speaker 2: was surprised when you when he grabs it, like it
Speaker 2: surprises you because you don't know he's gonna grab it,
Speaker 2: And I'm like, well then why am I hiking it?
Speaker 2: But I couldn't. I wasn't doing a good job summoning
Speaker 2: the surprise and I swear to God, when I put
Speaker 2: the bag down there, he tapped my balls kind of
Speaker 2: hard to get the reaction from me. And then I
Speaker 2: liked him even more.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 2: If you ever see Joe Flacco, that's any method actor.
Speaker 3: He's a method quarter.
Speaker 2: He gets it. Yeah, he really loved that slap. I
Speaker 2: had a little bit of a belly ache after that,
Speaker 2: I bet, yeah. But then I let we went back.
Speaker 2: We ate at some seafood place on that wharf, and
Speaker 2: when I got on a plane, and that's all I
Speaker 2: saw of Baltimore.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's pretty good. You saw it. You met
Speaker 3: a football god and you had crabs on the water.
Speaker 3: That's like, that's not bad. That's not bad.
Speaker 1: If only Joe Flacco was an expert on the War
Speaker 1: of eighteen twelve, and he could have just explained a
Speaker 1: couple highlights that would have stuck in your mind, Chris,
Speaker 1: because you were having like this, you know, like prime experience.
Speaker 1: Then you would be able to tell us what all
Speaker 1: that's about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have remembered everything in that moment. I
Speaker 2: was thinking so clearly. Yeah, because he really gave me
Speaker 2: a slap. I know I already mentioned that, but it
Speaker 2: really I'm now remembering that it was actually kind of painful.
Speaker 2: It's a bold move, it is, and I respect him
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's very jock. It's such a jock move. It's
Speaker 1: just like, your private area is my business. I am
Speaker 1: going to alphay you. We're going to give this director
Speaker 1: the results they want. Yeah, here's to you.
Speaker 2: Dorito's right, but he did apologize profusely after. And I
Speaker 2: also respect that he's a quarterback. And in another part
Speaker 2: of the commercial, he's supposed to throw a pepsi. This
Speaker 2: was for Doritos and Pepsi. By the way, I'm not
Speaker 2: just making up these products and tostitos. Do you believe
Speaker 2: he's supposed to throw the coke like a football, like
Speaker 2: he's supposed to throw it like a spiral into a
Speaker 2: sound blanket. These two guys were holding up a sound blanket.
Speaker 2: We're in a rented house, and he threw it and
Speaker 2: it just went straight up and hit the wall, burst open,
Speaker 2: and there was just pepsis sprayed on this white wall
Speaker 2: and we all just laughed. And God, I missed Joe Flack.
Speaker 3: He seems great. He's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we love him on this podcast.
Speaker 3: He is and he's had his hands probably like under
Speaker 3: so many people's balls as quarterback.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no big deal to him.
Speaker 2: No, And he treated me like I was a star
Speaker 2: football player myself.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's very Baltimore to be like of the
Speaker 1: people and be like, hey, you can have a what
Speaker 1: I believe you guys call tap it a nut tap
Speaker 1: at sack taps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think it's a sack tap.
Speaker 3: But there's like, but there's so many variants the sack tap.
Speaker 3: There's like I'm trying to hurt you sack tap, which
Speaker 3: is like a high school sack tape. I got a
Speaker 3: lot of those, but this sounds this sounds more like
Speaker 3: a hey buddy, I'm here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I'm inspirational checking it, just checking it.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 2: Lit a fire under my ass. I think I was
Speaker 2: better in that commercial floor it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe, have you seen the thing online about how
Speaker 3: dudes like to snuggle and it's always like they always
Speaker 3: like to get snuggled from the back in a sitting position.
Speaker 3: Maybe does this just pop up on my feet? Is
Speaker 3: this just my feet thing? Oh?
Speaker 2: I get a lot of little spoon stuff.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what you do you do right?
Speaker 1: Yes, it subscribes a little Spoon Monthly. Oh god, what
Speaker 1: do you when you say dudes? You mean are we
Speaker 1: talking about frap boys?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Ros, I mean like just like bros online bros.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, okay, like a like a royal bro that
Speaker 3: is like online, Like dudes are like this and like
Speaker 3: you know those kinds of guys Yeah, old spice bros.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Like yeah, Bible, yes, yes, a.
Speaker 3: Lot of lads. Ye ladser than you broke? Yeah? Lad? Wait?
Speaker 1: Sorry? Though? Are they snuggling like while they watch television
Speaker 1: in their shared apartment?
Speaker 3: So like the video, most of the it's like a trend.
Speaker 3: So there's like I've seen like a million of the
Speaker 3: same video essentially, or it's like a woman is like
Speaker 3: in a guy's nook, right, and it's like guys don't
Speaker 3: like to cuddle like this, This is how guys really
Speaker 3: want to cuddle. And then like they'll like snuggle in
Speaker 3: like in between their partner's legs and kind of like
Speaker 3: you know, sit to Boggin style. Toboggan style is oh
Speaker 3: really yeah.
Speaker 2: We're like laying down, but essentially she's on his shoulder.
Speaker 3: In a chair. Yeah, like in the couch, you know,
Speaker 3: sitting up, but in the you know, birth canal.
Speaker 2: I've never seen this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's just me.
Speaker 1: I thought you meant this is how bro's like to
Speaker 1: cuddle with each other.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I.
Speaker 1: I honestly thought that's what you know, We're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I wish.
Speaker 3: It was that well. I was trying to tie that in.
Speaker 3: I was trying to tie that into the Flacco Fairbank affair,
Speaker 3: which is like, yeah, kind of what I like the
Speaker 3: most about sports, what I like about by far the
Speaker 3: most about sports. And I love sports and I know
Speaker 3: they're so dumb, like so so dumb, but I love
Speaker 3: them so much. Is that kind of dude on dude
Speaker 3: love like that is always going to be there in
Speaker 3: any sport, no matter what. And that's what that felt like.
Speaker 3: I would be like, Yeah, if a dude, like a quarterback,
Speaker 3: like a sports legend is he's a legend in Baltimore,
Speaker 3: I'm not. And I don't throw that word around you
Speaker 3: never have, never have. That's like eight time I've used
Speaker 3: that word in my life. Like if a legend tapped
Speaker 3: me on the balls and it kind of hurt, I
Speaker 3: still I feel like I would be comforted by that,
Speaker 3: which is what I feel like those videos are about
Speaker 3: those dudes. They want to be comforted, have their backs watched,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean secure, because usually, you know,
Speaker 3: dudes are standing alone with their backs you know, to
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I didn't know what a privilege I had
Speaker 2: experienced until I called my dad. Of course, immediately to Britt,
Speaker 2: because I knew my dad would care that I was
Speaker 2: a commercial with Joe Flacco. Oh man, he's and he
Speaker 2: just unsolicited said, did he give you a Diddy tap you?
Speaker 3: He did? He said, that's a big no. I did.
Speaker 2: I did describe it, and I did. I told him
Speaker 2: about it, and he really seemed to appreciate it as
Speaker 2: much as I did, And I'm like, good, That's that's
Speaker 2: why I'm your son.
Speaker 1: I was talking to somebody about how professional athletes of
Speaker 1: every sport, in any sport, and I know what you mean, Eric,
Speaker 1: where it's like when you feel like you like them
Speaker 1: too much or but they really it really is. I
Speaker 1: am forced to watch football with my dad every football
Speaker 1: season when I go home to visit him, and I
Speaker 1: absolutely revere and admire and appreciate the excellence it takes
Speaker 1: to be one of those people that's playing that game.
Speaker 3: It's not.
Speaker 1: It is a big deal. It is a very difficult,
Speaker 1: very specialized thing. I've watched so many thirty for thirties
Speaker 1: about so good that kind of socialization. Like if Joe Flacco,
Speaker 1: I would imagine has been playing football since he was
Speaker 1: eight years old for his entire life, so that is
Speaker 1: the world he's always lived in. Yeah, that was his
Speaker 1: Like if someone could translate that to Chris, Yeah, like that.
Speaker 3: Was his reaching out. That's like an alien reaching out.
Speaker 3: Like that was touch and you were the boy.
Speaker 1: Immediately turn on your heart light because Joe Flacco just
Speaker 1: put a red hot finger onto the back of your ball.
Speaker 2: Turn on your hot light.
Speaker 1: Quite literally, it is about et.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that song. That sounds awesome that.
Speaker 1: Oh well Diamond, turn on your heart light.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Sports legend in Boston Neil Diamond because they think sweet cat.
Speaker 3: That's like the ninth time I've used it now legend
Speaker 3: because they sing sweet Caroline instead of take me out
Speaker 3: to the ballgame at Fenway Park. And it's awesome. It's
Speaker 3: like one of the best things in sports.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's one of the best because everyone does it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's incredible and like I got goosebumps.
Speaker 2: I feel like the yelling that dot dotta after that
Speaker 2: is from the now kind of controversial movie Beautiful Girls.
Speaker 2: Remember they're all in the bar.
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Were people doing it before that?
Speaker 3: Yeah? That's a good question because that's a Boston movie, right,
Speaker 3: isn't it? Beautiful Girls?
Speaker 1: It's an Ed Burns movie. So wherever he's from, I
Speaker 1: think he's.
Speaker 3: Like a Boston Oh there's so all his movies are.
Speaker 3: Is he gonna be on this podcast?
Speaker 1: He's next week.
Speaker 3: That goes my that goes my burns cash. I just
Speaker 3: burned up all my burns cash. That's what I call industry.
Speaker 3: That's the industry term. When you want to get in
Speaker 3: with someone, burns.
Speaker 1: Cash, the burns catch, you need at least a hunt dollars.
Speaker 1: Were the burns cash to get into any major party?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm I'm never going to get into I'm never
Speaker 3: going to be in Beautiful Girls too. Oh you never know,
Speaker 3: I could. I could be sweet.
Speaker 1: Caroline reminds me of like being drunk in college and
Speaker 1: being at bars where people were doing that.
Speaker 2: And they think at all, yeah they did dom Okay.
Speaker 2: I had never heard of it until Beautiful Girls, and
Speaker 2: I wish they would do a remake with an age
Speaker 2: appropriate Natalie Portman.
Speaker 3: They do it in Oh my God. She she had
Speaker 3: a rough childhood with the.
Speaker 2: With the that she was doing, I'm always twelve year old.
Speaker 1: She was perfect looking, so of course that's what Hollywood does.
Speaker 1: But I mean, I remember, well, wait, you go ahead,
Speaker 1: because I think we might say the same thing.
Speaker 3: I saw The Professional, not in the theaters. My dad
Speaker 3: took me to see The Professional, and he should not have.
Speaker 3: I was like, I was ten or eleven, and that movie.
Speaker 3: Gary Oldman is so scary. In that movie, he's horrifying,
Speaker 3: and he fucked me up for a long time, and
Speaker 3: I remember thinking like, damn, that movie really fucked me up.
Speaker 3: It really must have done something in Natalie tork me
Speaker 3: like she was in it. She had to act with
Speaker 3: that dude.
Speaker 1: Well just it's just so it the movie itself, especially
Speaker 1: through today's eyes, you look back and just go, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's if there were any adults in the room,
Speaker 1: they should have spoken up because that's really gross and weird.
Speaker 1: And she's ten and my.
Speaker 3: Sister, my dad looks a lot like genre now, or
Speaker 3: he did when I was a kid around that time,
Speaker 3: and my sister had the same haircut in like war chokers,
Speaker 3: and so they would just walk around like that all
Speaker 3: the time.
Speaker 2: People would not just talloween no.
Speaker 3: But one time somebody on the plane commented on it
Speaker 3: once and it was huge for family. They're like the professional. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, you looked the professional, both of you.
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm going to be I'm want to
Speaker 3: be in the movies. I'm going to be part of that.
Speaker 2: Eric, you and I we were in a music video
Speaker 2: together that was fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah it was not, uh it was.
Speaker 1: I watched it was.
Speaker 3: It was a really good song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were great in it.
Speaker 3: I got my ass kicks. It was like, uh, I
Speaker 3: forget the director a little bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh. Which before that, it was a band
Speaker 2: Parleled Harlem, like a punk band that I already liked
Speaker 2: and I love that song and we all got to
Speaker 2: be My role was like the ridiculous crossing his eyes
Speaker 2: prop comic.
Speaker 3: You and Lizzie Copan and yeah, it was like the rage.
Speaker 2: Filled tell it like it is comic. And Lizzie Cooperman
Speaker 2: was like she was just she was so ridiculous and
Speaker 2: crossing her eyes and acting like a bird. And then
Speaker 2: when you the the show, They're like, we got three
Speaker 2: great comics and then another guy.
Speaker 3: And that was that was me And I was like
Speaker 3: the headliner and I felt so bad because you guys
Speaker 3: were so good. And then I didn't know what to do.
Speaker 3: And I was supposed to just go up there and
Speaker 3: like act like I didn't know what I was doing,
Speaker 3: and I thought that I was doing that pretty good
Speaker 3: because I didn't know what I was doing.
Speaker 2: It was that was what your character was supposed to do,
Speaker 2: and you danced.
Speaker 3: I did. I did. That was like that That was
Speaker 3: one of my formative like acting on camera moments. I
Speaker 3: like learned so much because I got my asking. She
Speaker 3: like Wendy McCole is the director's name, and okay, she
Speaker 3: just was like, you're not giving me what I want.
Speaker 3: And we remember hours after everyone left. Everyone left, it
Speaker 3: was just me and her at old at those under
Speaker 3: sunset and I was like, I was like dancing. I'm like,
Speaker 3: not a dancer. I mean we can get into that later.
Speaker 2: It's here, You're a dancer the information we were given.
Speaker 1: Wait a second, so she literally let everyone else go home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kept you after it was.
Speaker 3: Like he was in table. I remember, it was just
Speaker 3: the cinematographer, cinnamon photographer. She wasn't Ingra Bedsen was the director,
Speaker 3: and he just fucking he just went home. It was
Speaker 3: a Sunday. He's like, I'm gonna go to the movies
Speaker 3: and I was like cool. And we were there for
Speaker 3: hours and I remember, like, am getting get paid? But
Speaker 3: that's okay because it was such a good experience. It
Speaker 3: really was that. This is actually one of those times
Speaker 3: where it actually was because I like, she kicked my
Speaker 3: fucking ass. Man. It was awesome. It felt really good,
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 1: And so you liked Did you like how it turned out?
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah I did. It's a little cringey to watch hers.
Speaker 3: I feel cringey to watch it myself, but yeah, it
Speaker 3: was great. I loved it.
Speaker 1: It's horrible to watch yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was being so over the top that I
Speaker 2: just can't watch myself trying to be normal. Yeah that's
Speaker 2: what bothers me. But but if I'm allowed to act ridiculous,
Speaker 2: then I can watch it. But that song is called
Speaker 2: lace Curtains Pink and Gold.
Speaker 3: It's great.
Speaker 2: He were great in it.
Speaker 3: I got lucky. I did a few music videos before
Speaker 3: uh we left LA and all the songs were good
Speaker 3: because if you like in the music video and the
Speaker 3: song sucks, then you're listening to that song all day
Speaker 3: and you're hungry. You're hungry, you're overtaffeinated, and that song
Speaker 3: is lame. And but I was like, all the songs
Speaker 3: that I do music videos for were really good.
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, I really do like that song.
Speaker 2: It's in my Spotify liked songs. Yeah, it's good without
Speaker 2: the video.
Speaker 3: Yeah, his voice is really good.
Speaker 2: I always thought it was that was the coolest thing
Speaker 2: as a comic to be in a music video. I
Speaker 2: think I saw like David Cross in a new pornographer's
Speaker 2: video a band. I really like those two worlds colliding
Speaker 2: is just it took.
Speaker 3: It's so cool. It's so cool. Yeah. I love music videos,
Speaker 3: I which I mean the go around, right, I mean
Speaker 3: they're kind of like have weather does it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like they're predominantly like rappers are the
Speaker 1: ones that really make the rad ones that like you
Speaker 1: talk about and pass around, which always it feels to me,
Speaker 1: I don't know the last the last like mainstream rock
Speaker 1: video I saw that. I was like, thank you, that
Speaker 1: was great. Oh, sorry, that's incorrect now that I think
Speaker 1: about it. It's because I personally don't watch like MTV
Speaker 1: or V h oneyw But when I was home for
Speaker 1: the holidays, we were all sitting around and somebody put
Speaker 1: on Miley Cyrus's Flowers video.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, did you hear about that?
Speaker 1: She shot this video in the house where her ex boyfriend,
Speaker 1: uh not the yeah, not Thor, but his younger brother
Speaker 1: cheated on her in this house, so she went and
Speaker 1: shot the video in the house. Because the whole song
Speaker 1: is about like I'll buy my own flowers, I'll do
Speaker 1: my own thing.
Speaker 3: She was wearing his suit, too, wasn't she Is that true?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a part where she's wearing a suit and
Speaker 1: she just looks amazing, and she's like, we're just so
Speaker 1: proud of Hannah Montana, so good for truly being such
Speaker 1: a legend at this point. Yeah, but we're literally so
Speaker 1: it was either my sister or Adrian. They were like,
Speaker 1: hold on, you need to see this, And then we
Speaker 1: all sat around and watched it. We're like, yeah, during
Speaker 1: it was so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't believe I didn't watch it. The other
Speaker 2: day when I went down a wormhole of watching she
Speaker 2: sang with Metallica. She did a bunch of rock songs
Speaker 2: at Taylor Hawkins's memorial concert.
Speaker 3: Like with did you go to that? Like? Did you
Speaker 3: go to that? No?
Speaker 2: I just watched a bunch of them because she was
Speaker 2: meant to sing like Leada Ford or Pat Benattar. She's
Speaker 2: not the best gravelly rock voice that It's like, I
Speaker 2: want her to be the singer for metalic Yeah, like
Speaker 2: nothing else matters cover.
Speaker 3: Yeah. During that.
Speaker 1: During Quarantine, they did that big like a benefit for
Speaker 1: music venues that we're having to shut down because that
Speaker 1: business was so rocked by quarantine and everything. And she
Speaker 1: they did a thing I think either the Rocksy or
Speaker 1: the Whiskey, and she came out and sang the Cranberrys
Speaker 1: Zombie God, so fucking good. People were retweeted on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and I was just like, I like, it was the
Speaker 1: most exciting cover.
Speaker 3: It was just so good. I love.
Speaker 1: I already knew she was amazing, but then when somebody
Speaker 1: does a hard song beautifully and perfectly, it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god.
Speaker 3: She's just so good. Rest in peace to the singer
Speaker 3: from I Know, so Laura so weird and yeah, incredible
Speaker 3: that any time anyone ever says that, like the name
Speaker 3: of the title that song, I just get goosebumps.
Speaker 1: There might be a draft in that basement.
Speaker 3: You're, yeah, this is really cold.
Speaker 2: Yeah this Baltimore wharf wind?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, are you getting the wind of eighteen twelve
Speaker 1: down in that face?
Speaker 3: All right? Yeah?
Speaker 2: She actually passed and my dad we we had some
Speaker 2: moments remembering Dolores and yeah, we listened to Linger and
Speaker 2: the other better songs. So good Dreams Dreams came on,
Speaker 2: and it's so funny to have a dad say this.
Speaker 2: He was like, this might be one of the best
Speaker 2: rock songs of all time.
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, your dad sounds amazing.
Speaker 2: He just I was very surprised to hear him say that,
Speaker 2: because as as your parents get older, they start going
Speaker 2: back to all the fifties and sixties music they listened
Speaker 2: to his kids. Yeah, like that's all he listens to now.
Speaker 2: But I remember a brief period where he's like, have
Speaker 2: you heard this new Cranberry's he'd call it.
Speaker 3: Used to be DJ. You said, yeah, yeah, that's so sick.
Speaker 3: Is that my catchphrase? I just heard the best? I
Speaker 3: love covers. I think it's like I think I like
Speaker 3: cover like a good bar cover band. Oh my God
Speaker 3: the best. Pull up a chair and I'm there. Tenacious
Speaker 3: D did a cover for like Serious XM of Wicked
Speaker 3: Game and Jack and Jack Black sang the ship out
Speaker 3: of that song. Have you have you heard it? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh my, that's a video, Yeah, because I think it
Speaker 1: was on tip I follow him on TikTok. He puts
Speaker 1: out good content, but that thing, I mean, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: And I think most people know this at this point,
Speaker 1: but Jack Black has one of the best singing voices
Speaker 1: really hands down.
Speaker 3: That's just huge.
Speaker 1: There's a really great video of him singing. I think
Speaker 1: it's for a Clippers game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is it?
Speaker 1: He's singing the Star Spangled bann or whatever. And it's hard, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's one of the hardest songs to sing, even if
Speaker 1: you have range. It's hard to stay on key for
Speaker 1: that song because it just gets a little wacky. I
Speaker 1: think people have gotten much better at it now.
Speaker 4: He is.
Speaker 1: It's like he was born to sing that song, just
Speaker 1: like he just is such a music band.
Speaker 3: Wait, have you ever sang the national anthem in like
Speaker 3: the official capet? Like yeah, yeah, caring?
Speaker 1: You know what's funny about that? And this is one
Speaker 1: of my great regrets. I was asked to sing the
Speaker 1: national anthem at the beginning of a comedy show by
Speaker 1: Jamal James.
Speaker 3: Jamal Johnson, Jamel Jones, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know him that well, but he dm me.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey, well you sing the national anthem
Speaker 1: at the beginning of this, and I immediately was like, yes,
Speaker 1: I will. Well, this was pre COVID but just before,
Speaker 1: so it was like maybe six months before. I wanted
Speaker 1: to do it so bad. But of course, like as
Speaker 1: it leading up to it is like I work every
Speaker 1: day for fucking sixteen hours or whatever leading up to it,
Speaker 1: and then I was just like the day of where
Speaker 1: every hour of that day I was like, you're going
Speaker 1: to go do this, you have to go do it.
Speaker 1: And then it was like seven o'clock and I was
Speaker 1: still like still working, and then I was just like
Speaker 1: I'm not fucking going to that show. And I just
Speaker 1: flaked on it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get and I have.
Speaker 1: I always felt terrible, but I also was like, I
Speaker 1: just don't want to go and be mediocre to start
Speaker 1: their show, like suddenly the pressure was on. Yeah, It's
Speaker 1: just like but it was the kind of thing is
Speaker 1: that when you stop doing stand up, which I know
Speaker 1: Eric you've you've sometimes taken a break, that feeling where
Speaker 1: if you go back. Yeah, it's that kind of like
Speaker 1: the intimidation factor. It's all in your head, so it
Speaker 1: just comes out the window. But I really I knew
Speaker 1: that if I did it, even if it was, you know,
Speaker 1: not great near the Rockets Red Glare part, it still
Speaker 1: would be funny. Like I could be funny about not
Speaker 1: doing it perfect. But then I get so like when
Speaker 1: it comes to singing them all, I'm like, I get
Speaker 1: so in my head about it.
Speaker 2: So, yeah, Rockets Red Glare part is the point in
Speaker 2: over return. You better have started at the right octave.
Speaker 3: Oh boy. And it's at the end of the song,
Speaker 3: and it's it's all Baltimore written in Baltimore.
Speaker 2: Uh, by Francis Jacky.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Off the wharf. It was a wharf win.
Speaker 3: It's a wharf wind. So he was like, he was
Speaker 3: like on a boat on the wharf and he was like,
Speaker 3: look at those fucking rockets, Red Claire.
Speaker 1: Please don't please, don't lie, because I'm going to record this.
Speaker 3: I'm not it's true. Is that the dog of truth?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's every time the dog barks you know you
Speaker 2: haven't lied.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's the final test.
Speaker 3: I also care to want to hear you sing at
Speaker 3: some point. I don't know if you have the new
Speaker 3: Yer's song all Lang Sign Old Sign. Have you ever
Speaker 3: seen that?
Speaker 1: No, You're so good, dude, no quaint, that's like a
Speaker 1: drunk song. Yeah, I love that line Sweet Caroline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of my favorite old songs of all time.
Speaker 2: It's so good a reason to fall off the wagon.
Speaker 3: It's so sad and fun at the same time.
Speaker 1: And it's sad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets you in the move and it's like
Speaker 3: the best Christmas.
Speaker 1: It feels like. It's also like the kind of song
Speaker 1: where everybody hates New Year's. Everybody had a disappointing New
Speaker 1: Year's in some way, usually every single year. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that song plays while you're looking around going like I
Speaker 1: don't want to kiss it. I know it sucks. And
Speaker 1: another New Year.
Speaker 2: I guess it's this body pillow with an anime character
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 3: Again.
Speaker 2: I and a lot of people have messaged because we've
Speaker 2: talked about this before, but Eric, I want Karen to
Speaker 2: do covers of Sundays songs. I feel like she could
Speaker 2: do Harry Wheeler's way. I don't know if you're a
Speaker 2: big fan. Karen and I both bonded on Sundays. It's
Speaker 2: kind of Berries. It's like the original Cranberries and a
Speaker 2: little more. They were, Yeah, they were like stream pop.
Speaker 1: I think you're too young, Eric, but it when I
Speaker 1: was in college and when Chris was in high school,
Speaker 1: I think probably this band came out and they were
Speaker 1: very like it was very like independent record store. That's
Speaker 1: the first time I heard them. I walked in and
Speaker 1: it was playing and I literally like ran to the front,
Speaker 1: like who is this Yeah, and she just has one
Speaker 1: of those like amazing voices. And so then later when
Speaker 1: the Cranberries came out, I was like, I hate this
Speaker 1: band because I love the Sundays.
Speaker 2: It does have to nick one, yeah, very and I
Speaker 2: love the Cranberries, but I didn't like the hey, hey, sorry.
Speaker 3: That I had to do that. I want to go
Speaker 3: to Ireland every time I hear.
Speaker 2: That, I'm sorry. Now you know, Eric, I think you
Speaker 2: would know who The Sundays were just a reminder of
Speaker 2: here's where the story ends.
Speaker 1: No place is like make me feel we can't do that?
Speaker 1: There you sing on the show?
Speaker 3: Yeah, why not why not, but you're so good? Oh,
Speaker 3: because we have to pay for it. That's right, that's right,
Speaker 3: that's right.
Speaker 2: Well, only it's you did less than ten seconds.
Speaker 1: It's three seconds. Yeah, oh really okay, I can do
Speaker 1: it like this she sings like this. There's not a tune.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you way? Can you just like, can you just
Speaker 3: in your head in your music brain augment the melody
Speaker 3: just a little bit like they do and like knock
Speaker 3: off commercials.
Speaker 1: That's what I just you just did came out is
Speaker 1: not it's impossible.
Speaker 3: To do that in your brain.
Speaker 2: All you need to do. And I've done a little
Speaker 2: research on this, and that's how weird All got away
Speaker 2: with it. You have to change the genre of song
Speaker 2: from drama comedy. So you just did a comedic version
Speaker 2: of here's where this story ends. We are free and clear.
Speaker 2: That's article ninety Yeah in the parody at laws.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Literally, there's there's a lawyer in our legal department, Jim,
Speaker 1: who has to clear this show specifically. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: do this to him constantly.
Speaker 3: You have one of the best voices of all time
Speaker 3: and Christian your mouth, your mouth trumpet is like really
Speaker 3: impressive as a cute I'm a novice mouth trumpet to here,
Speaker 3: and I was like the first time I heard your
Speaker 3: mouth tup, I was like, damn, he's going off right
Speaker 3: now with the mouth.
Speaker 2: Did you think it was a real horn?
Speaker 3: Uh No, But but I don't. I don't like I
Speaker 3: can't play a real horn to save my life. But
Speaker 3: if I get nervous enough, I will pop off folks
Speaker 3: of mouth trumpet. I get. I get when I get nervous,
Speaker 3: it just comes out, and it's usually.
Speaker 1: It's a good cover.
Speaker 2: I was taught how to do it by my uh
Speaker 2: my fireman brother in law when I was very young.
Speaker 2: He was good at mouth horn and and I focused
Speaker 2: on it, and that's how I learned.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful. It's good to have in your back pocket
Speaker 3: thing you can just pull.
Speaker 2: Had an ear for music. That's why they threw trombone
Speaker 2: my way in sixth grade.
Speaker 3: It's sucks that music. So that's why I love all
Speaker 3: that sign because it's what's it called? It's free. It's
Speaker 3: a free uh property? No, what's itv? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Even the birthday song isn't that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It is now? It is now, it went over one
Speaker 1: hundred years. It's free, God damn it.
Speaker 2: Public domain public domain.
Speaker 3: That's it.
Speaker 1: Yes, there it is the free free has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with it. Yeah, domain nice one.
Speaker 2: That's why. I guess when you go to a TGI
Speaker 2: Fridays and they bring over your brownie with a candle
Speaker 2: in it, they have to go barth day, birthday fun, fun, birthday,
Speaker 2: barthday fun.
Speaker 3: They just do their own like Mo that's Mo's and
Speaker 3: the Simpsons. That was It was so weird to find
Speaker 3: out as hardly. Yeah, yeah, that's good. That was pretty
Speaker 3: good moment.
Speaker 2: Thanks. I like impressions as much as I like.
Speaker 1: So, Eric, what have you learned being especially a primary
Speaker 1: caregiver of your now two year olds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: Let's hear some life lessons, things that you've learned, because
Speaker 1: that is a very difficult job, as many of us
Speaker 1: know or at least have heard about. So let's hear
Speaker 1: about some of the things you've learned by being a father.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The hardest part off the bat is just feeling bad
Speaker 3: about yourself the whole time, like just thinking, like every
Speaker 3: literally every action and every moment, oh my god, somebody
Speaker 3: would do this so much better. Somebody is like I'm
Speaker 3: and I'm and then that and then also the that's
Speaker 3: the hardest part. And then there's never like maybe this
Speaker 3: was just me. I think most regular adults probably know
Speaker 3: this already, but there isn't like a moment of like
Speaker 3: a switch I'm in on where you're like not a parent,
Speaker 3: not a parent, not a parent, and then you see
Speaker 3: the baby and then you're a parent all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: like that never happened. I I literally lost my mom.
Speaker 3: I mean it was like it was during the pandemic.
Speaker 3: I was going through all this family stuff and I
Speaker 3: was becoming a parent while like the family the family
Speaker 3: stuff was bad, and like I stopped talking to my
Speaker 3: family and was becoming a parent at the same time.
Speaker 3: So I lost my mind. I lost my mind and
Speaker 3: you know, stopped doing comedy and like stop talking to
Speaker 3: all my comedy friends. And it became like really really bad.
Speaker 3: But then it gets and then they got so good,
Speaker 3: and then they got and then it got so good
Speaker 3: and it's so uh it's really easy. It turns out
Speaker 3: to like not hit your kid or yell at your kid.
Speaker 3: So far. I thought that was gonna be hard because
Speaker 3: I got yelled at and I got hit and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, am I gonna do this,
Speaker 3: and it turns out it's super fucking easy to not
Speaker 3: do that shit. Ye yeah, because that's a tiny baby.
Speaker 2: But I all of madden, your problems don't mean anything
Speaker 2: when there's all God human and.
Speaker 3: That is that is the best problem, and that's the
Speaker 3: best thing. But also is people reminding you of that
Speaker 3: all the time. It's like kind of it was like
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, do I talk? Do I complain
Speaker 3: a lot? Like am I am? I just a hot,
Speaker 3: hot mess this entire time, Like all these people came
Speaker 3: out of the wood work with uh surprise, like being
Speaker 3: surprised by how I was parenting, how easy it was mellow.
Speaker 2: Now you're you're not so quick to anger. I didn't
Speaker 2: know I was that way, But that's true.
Speaker 3: It's true, and I knew, I knew. I like anger
Speaker 3: was like a huge problem with me. It's ruined so
Speaker 3: many relationships because of my past and stuff that I've
Speaker 3: talked about it in therapy.
Speaker 2: I was kidding, no, but it's true, it's true. Never seen.
Speaker 2: You're the last person I.
Speaker 3: Know. That's the scary part. That's why it's like, because
Speaker 3: I'm a libra, it's like a two face. I'm a
Speaker 3: two face. I'm a little two face and it just
Speaker 3: like when I pop off, it pops off, because that's
Speaker 3: the way it was grown up, like you never know
Speaker 3: when it's gonna pop off, and then all of a
Speaker 3: sudden you're like, oh shit, I have to defend myself. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but with the baby is Oh my god, he's so
Speaker 3: funny and he should I tell the story of how
Speaker 3: we came up with George. Oh. Sure. So there's a hospital.
Speaker 3: There's a school a college here called I think it's
Speaker 3: Jimmy Hopkins, Jimmy Jimmy Hopkins. Is it can n Johns
Speaker 3: Johns Hopkins Hopkins. Yes. So so that's where we had
Speaker 3: the baby because Drew has the has the good insurance.
Speaker 3: And we were driving there and it was driving to
Speaker 3: the hospital and driving home from the hospital were two
Speaker 3: of the most surreal moments. Like that was especially driving home,
Speaker 3: but driving too, it was like a real there's so
Speaker 3: much clarity in my head, like I just really felt
Speaker 3: tight and but was like in a riffy but it
Speaker 3: was like riff riffy tight and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I wish I could do that, and I feel great.
Speaker 1: Drew being the worst audience you could possibly find me,
Speaker 1: give me none of this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she's she was shut. She was there was a yeah,
Speaker 3: she was not listening to me.
Speaker 5: But we pulled out next to there's a lot of
Speaker 5: Greeks in uh Baltimore, big Greek population, and there's a
Speaker 5: van that pulled up next to us right as we're
Speaker 5: pulling into the hospital.
Speaker 3: H and they said a cropolis construction. And as soon
Speaker 3: as I read that, instantly I thought in my head
Speaker 3: Rome wasn't built in a day, but the Acropolis was
Speaker 3: a cropolis construction. I was like, oh my God, Like,
Speaker 3: I gotta tell them, let's let's make a commercial, because
Speaker 3: that's just a really good commercial.
Speaker 2: You just start spray painting it on their vein.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Can I just talk to these people really faster.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna drop you off out front, and I'm just gonna.
Speaker 2: Let me just get off a foundation right now.
Speaker 3: Who is this guy? But then we got into the
Speaker 3: room and we put on the Food Network, the most
Speaker 3: comforting of all channels and the most comforting guy in
Speaker 3: the whole world. Guy Fieri was just was just ripping
Speaker 3: open a brand new Triple D. It's like, right at
Speaker 3: the beginning, right we got settled in, turned the TV
Speaker 3: on Boom Triple D starting and he goes, today we're
Speaker 3: going to the Broadway Diner in Baltimore, Maryland, which was
Speaker 3: like down the street from Jimmy's Hopkins.
Speaker 2: Where we were, and a perfect first thing for your
Speaker 2: son to see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's like the closest thing we have to
Speaker 3: a religion in this house is this guy and what
Speaker 3: he does. But we talked about nance. There's like a
Speaker 3: short short list that was like none of them had
Speaker 3: been like confirmed, you know, like and George was not
Speaker 3: on it. And so I was like, okay, so this
Speaker 3: is crazy that he's in Baltimore. Whatever this chef's name is,
Speaker 3: that he's gonna talk to you right now, we're gonna
Speaker 3: name our baby. Andrew was like okay. And then so
Speaker 3: this like sweet, big, like Greek guy named George was
Speaker 3: like the chef and this diner who basically said two words,
Speaker 3: and I was like, that's all I want my baby
Speaker 3: to be like. And and it turned out that Drew
Speaker 3: had like like had had pitched that name a while
Speaker 3: ago and I never never registered. She like always liked it,
Speaker 3: and so George it was George.
Speaker 2: That's so if if you don't mind me stealing your
Speaker 2: phrase so sick. In my hometown. There's there's a kid
Speaker 2: I remember, George Cudelaris. His family owned a crop the
Speaker 2: list euro shop. Whoa, yeah, all the more reason to
Speaker 2: name your baby George.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's perfect. That's like that's the whole world coming
Speaker 3: together and the Greeks just really really sticking to their
Speaker 3: to their ripped knowing what works for them.
Speaker 2: Did you do any research or did you just figure
Speaker 2: it out? Like did you get the doctor oz baby
Speaker 2: book with how prepared?
Speaker 3: I'm so bad with that. I feel like, well one
Speaker 3: of the main things was like I'm such a dummy,
Speaker 3: and all the all the books are written by like academics,
Speaker 3: and even the books that are like this is us
Speaker 3: like telling it to your plane. It's even those books
Speaker 3: are like written by these like doctors and like academics,
Speaker 3: and I just that ship just always is in one
Speaker 3: year out the other with me. It's really bad that
Speaker 3: I like have just been true so great, like she
Speaker 3: did all this research. We have the Mayo Clinic book,
Speaker 3: which is was a really good.
Speaker 2: Yeah that's probably better.
Speaker 3: Yeah that was good.
Speaker 1: Doctor, Sorry, but doctors Bok's the one that like here's
Speaker 1: the thing and I think the good part about it
Speaker 1: is that all of these things are trends, and as
Speaker 1: we all evolve as people, people learn better. So like doctor, uh,
Speaker 1: doctor sorry, that's my fault. Doctor Spock is the one
Speaker 1: who used to tell mothers when your baby's crying after
Speaker 1: you put your baby to bed, don't go pick the
Speaker 1: baby up. Let it cry itself out. And that is
Speaker 1: absolutely like these days they are like, oh, the damage
Speaker 1: that was done by those situations.
Speaker 3: Do that, do that, try that, try that and see
Speaker 3: how that works out for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just loose baby crying. It set off. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: so sad.
Speaker 3: Doctor Spas would be a really good name, like sboz.
Speaker 1: That's your new character.
Speaker 2: Just the face divided down the middle, just.
Speaker 1: Super weird pediatrician.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, look at that. No, I just
Speaker 3: thought of something else. What is this? What baby? What
Speaker 3: we're gonna do it? Guys, we're gonna do it. Hold on,
Speaker 3: hold on, let me finish my doctor pepper uh. That
Speaker 3: it was the baby. The baby, And then like the
Speaker 3: main thing with the baby is like they can't He
Speaker 3: came out knowing a bunch of ship already. He was
Speaker 3: just like so aware and like knew that I needed help,
Speaker 3: like changing diapers. Was like he's like, oh man, I
Speaker 3: better cool it with this guy just does not seem
Speaker 3: like you knows what he's doing. I'm just gonna be
Speaker 3: really good and just let him.
Speaker 2: His little hand goes down and where to put the flap?
Speaker 3: Yeah, flat, it's just gonna got it. You got it,
Speaker 3: you got it. Just leave it alone. You got it,
Speaker 3: you got it.
Speaker 2: You've got little fingers opening a perfect safety pin putting
Speaker 2: it in. I assume you use just knocking stuff out
Speaker 2: of my hand.
Speaker 3: Don't do that. Yes, yes, from cartoons, we use cloth
Speaker 3: diapers with a giant safety pins from the cartoon you
Speaker 3: get a ship from tiny tubs.
Speaker 1: I used to have one of those. My mom kept
Speaker 1: like two of our diaper pins and I used to
Speaker 1: play with it when I was you know, like seven
Speaker 1: or eight. Those things are so like they're they're like
Speaker 1: on spring action.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you get it out of the little safety
Speaker 1: area and it flicks like, I would injured myself.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it's a huge.
Speaker 2: They still make me nervous the minute I try and operate.
Speaker 2: One man, let's get clammy and not make it easier.
Speaker 3: It's crazy how much dangerous stuff there is everywhere, and
Speaker 3: we don't like we live in a kind of old
Speaker 3: house and like the walls that went to row House,
Speaker 3: it's real Baltimore Rowhouse, and we like don't No. I
Speaker 3: just flashed into my head that people who are actually
Speaker 3: from Baltimore are going to listen to this and are
Speaker 3: going to be so mad at me because I didn't
Speaker 3: say anything like real about Baltimore. They're gonna be so
Speaker 3: many but like we can't, like we couldn't do the
Speaker 3: baby gates, and there was just a lot, like some
Speaker 3: stuff that we couldn't do because the house is so
Speaker 3: old and it's just terrifying all the time. But that's
Speaker 3: good to me, is good. It keeps me on my toes.
Speaker 3: It's good to be.
Speaker 2: Did you pad corners, padded corners, locked on?
Speaker 3: You had locked up drawers. The drawers are also very big.
Speaker 2: The switchblade drawer, the.
Speaker 3: Switch blade drawer, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, and uh, you
Speaker 3: know the poetry drawer.
Speaker 2: Keep that poetry.
Speaker 3: You will not really poetry.
Speaker 1: And you will not dance. My sister was a single mother,
Speaker 1: so she would have to like you know, she was
Speaker 1: trying to do laundry or anything. She just have to
Speaker 1: put my knees down, and so Nora started walking and
Speaker 1: talking so young because she just didn't want to be
Speaker 1: by herself in the front room. She wanted to be
Speaker 1: where my sister was, so she would pull herself down
Speaker 1: the hallway and eventually just get up and walk herself.
Speaker 1: And my sister was part partly like this is the
Speaker 1: time of her life where it should be slightly easier
Speaker 1: because I should be able to just put her somewhere,
Speaker 1: But because she's like, I'm not going to be out
Speaker 1: here by myself, so she just like would get her places,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, that's kind of genius because then like
Speaker 1: instead of a baby being like everything is done for you,
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, yeah you want to be back here,
Speaker 1: then you got to get up here.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, that's so sick.
Speaker 2: Light upstairs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get up there, get up here, come on, get
Speaker 3: down there. That's what potrait is going to be like, right,
Speaker 3: because I was just going to be like just just
Speaker 3: sit sit down over here, sit down over.
Speaker 1: There, let it out, Yeah, take care of it over
Speaker 1: there in that other room.
Speaker 3: It's scary all that stuff is coming, but it's it's
Speaker 3: fun stuff. It's fun stuff. The pooping is going to
Speaker 3: be fun. Right.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, once it gets solid and smelly, you're gonna
Speaker 2: love it. Yeah, you're gonna is George talking and all
Speaker 2: yet probably not or yeah.
Speaker 3: He says a lot of words. He's starting to like
Speaker 3: put words together.
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and verbs. He says no really well no no no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: no no, that's his thing. No, no, no, stop it.
Speaker 3: He like really hits. He hits key's really hard, like
Speaker 3: he'll stay stop it, stop it, daddy. Yeah, he tells
Speaker 3: me to stop it all the time because he's like,
Speaker 3: I'm like his like day to day parent. He gets
Speaker 3: so stick of me, and you know, by the time
Speaker 3: Drew gets home, it's like, oh, dude, just leave me alone. Honestly,
Speaker 3: you go take a ship. Why don't you go take
Speaker 3: a ship and smoke and it smokes some weed. Please
Speaker 3: and come back and get out of here and get
Speaker 3: it out of here. He says a lot of words.
Speaker 2: Has he ever hurt your feelings? Has he ever said
Speaker 2: all the time, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. Well, I mean just just that whole
Speaker 3: the whole thing of like I'm him every day and
Speaker 3: that moment of like when Drue walks in the door,
Speaker 3: I don't exist that's really real and it hurts him
Speaker 3: every time. But then it's also so funny because it
Speaker 3: just like he'll just give me like one kernel of
Speaker 3: love and it's like it never happened. I'm living.
Speaker 2: Like, wait until the rolls when he's fifteen and you're
Speaker 2: cool as shit.
Speaker 3: Oh you just wait, he's gonna be She's like in
Speaker 3: the trucks and cars, which is not something I'm really into,
Speaker 3: but that stuff is I'm getting into. I'm like, no,
Speaker 3: I'm a sports music, you know, dance guy. Uh, poetry.
Speaker 3: But he's like a huge gearhead. He's always trying to
Speaker 3: fix stuff. Uh. He'll grab stuff out of your hand
Speaker 3: and he'll like get to the bottom of it. He's
Speaker 3: always trying to get to the bottom of stuff. That's great, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's great.
Speaker 2: On his head, he talks.
Speaker 3: He did the other day actually, because there's a big
Speaker 3: warehouse by the park that we go to and they
Speaker 3: over there. We went over there. You know. He goes
Speaker 3: like he doesn't want to do anything, but he just trucks, trucks, trucks,
Speaker 3: and he does this thing where he just repeats trucks, truck, truck, truck,
Speaker 3: and then you're like, okay, so we go over there
Speaker 3: and they're like huge mac trucks and he just like
Speaker 3: gets in the wheels. He's so tiny, so the wheels
Speaker 3: like twice the size of them, and he'll just like
Speaker 3: climb in there with his hands and he had grease
Speaker 3: Oliver his hands like a tiny mechanic. Yeah, he's just yeah,
Speaker 3: he gets on the back. He has like a little
Speaker 3: he has one of those dollies on wheels.
Speaker 1: He gets an that God, that would be you should
Speaker 1: give that to him for Christmas.
Speaker 3: That's a really good idea. That's a really good itea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be the greatest.
Speaker 3: He likes that. I think this year his birthdays next month,
Speaker 3: and I think a toy vacuum cleaner is going to
Speaker 3: be the move because it's like, oh yeah, he loves
Speaker 3: the vacuum. He's terrified of it, but he's also intrigued
Speaker 3: by it, and so he always talked about it. So
Speaker 3: the vacuum is going to be the move.
Speaker 2: That's I just mentioned. Yes, he's a but yeah, I
Speaker 2: have a cousin who was so in vacuums as a kid,
Speaker 2: and he wanted a vacuum for Christmas when he's like five,
Speaker 2: and he got it and he took it apart, put
Speaker 2: it back together into this. He is now a guy
Speaker 2: that owns a vacuum store. Really, it's just he knew
Speaker 2: it's Yes, I'm not none of that as a joke.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe like vacuums because they they do immediate results.
Speaker 2: There's a loud engine, yeah, and they shut off really
Speaker 2: quickly once you're like, once you're done with it, you're
Speaker 2: done with it. I never I'm a kid that hated
Speaker 2: vacuums because it meant no more partying between the hours
Speaker 2: of three and five. My parents are home and my
Speaker 2: mom's going to vacuum outside my door and slam the
Speaker 2: door with the vacuum. And I've always to this day
Speaker 2: my place is filthy.
Speaker 3: Yeah good good Mine too, Mine too, just for that
Speaker 3: same reason and only that reason, because I vacuum.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, wonder, I wonder there's smudges on your baby's head.
Speaker 3: There's oh, just so darty. Oh and then bad time
Speaker 3: and he has like this huge mop of curly hair.
Speaker 3: So my favorite line. I have two lines that are
Speaker 3: my favorite lines. When people are like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: his hair is amazing and it's so curly, it's so
Speaker 3: I say, yeah, it takes a lot of time in
Speaker 3: the mornings, but it's worth it. That's usually their action too,
Speaker 3: there's a pause, there's.
Speaker 2: A solid it's great. Yeah, about a while to actually
Speaker 2: visualize your baby in a tiny robe with curlers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I'm if they usually have to take me
Speaker 3: in like, what is this dude doing with this baby?
Speaker 3: Why is he not dancing with this baby?
Speaker 1: I bet you're the best dad, though, Eric, because you
Speaker 1: are a good at improv. B you have a Juan
Speaker 1: de Vive and you have a I was just describing
Speaker 1: you earlier because I was on a me with Danielle Kramer. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably remember from Meltdown, and she was like, I
Speaker 1: love I saw his name and I love him so much,
Speaker 1: and we were talking about I was describing the character
Speaker 1: you played once when I did someone's talk show Travis Travis. Yes,
Speaker 1: and you were you just played a like a teenager
Speaker 1: that was just hanging around on the show for no reason, right,
Speaker 1: and it was so funny and so ridiculous, and you
Speaker 1: did it perfectly the entire time. I just kept going like, oh,
Speaker 1: he's still doing it.
Speaker 3: I mean, you're so You're so fun to play with,
Speaker 3: you know, in theater, in that way. And also that
Speaker 3: was that was the most fun. And that was just
Speaker 3: like a dude that I grew up with and like
Speaker 3: so cal to the to the end, so so cow
Speaker 3: that his name is Travis, his last name is Travis,
Speaker 3: and his first name is Travis.
Speaker 1: That's like perfection. I just yeah, it's only good news
Speaker 1: for that baby. You have to know that job inside.
Speaker 3: Yeah he did. He does. Like I said, I'd lost
Speaker 3: my mind so uh and like a part of that
Speaker 3: was like not doing comedy and stuff and like going
Speaker 3: like what, Okay, I guess I'll be a plumber now
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do. I wasn't even doing
Speaker 3: comedy that well, Like I mean the business I went
Speaker 3: that well, but like, uh, he does make me feel
Speaker 3: like the best version of myself and the version of
Speaker 3: my stuff that I like miss, you know, because they're
Speaker 3: like because I started. When you do therapy, you like excavate, excavate.
Speaker 3: He loves excavators. He loves diggers. Oh my god, he
Speaker 3: loves diggers. You dig up a lot of shit. And
Speaker 3: I was like digging up all the ship while the
Speaker 3: baby was on the way. And then he yeah, it's
Speaker 3: just it was good in that way where I was like,
Speaker 3: I feel like myself like I did in high school,
Speaker 3: or like when I like because I don't like myself
Speaker 3: that much most of the time, or I don't feel
Speaker 3: like I have a strong sense of soul. And there's
Speaker 3: nothing like that kid to fucking really make you feel
Speaker 3: solid about yourself. So yeah, it is the best. So
Speaker 3: I guess it's good. Yeah, I like you. I like
Speaker 3: you too.
Speaker 2: I remember you I at meltdown. I'm you did. I
Speaker 2: always do this. I'd tell someone's jokes to them, but
Speaker 2: it's one of my favorite things to do. So here
Speaker 2: we go. You were talking about wanting to get at
Speaker 2: to pay a blonde to pay of just a few
Speaker 2: two fingers, wispy hairs, just a careless whisper.
Speaker 3: Yeah, called it a careless whisper. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I know you were improvising and having light hazel contacts,
Speaker 2: just describing all the ways you wanted to modify your
Speaker 2: body because and the audience was so with you, and
Speaker 2: it was so weird, and you were in full control
Speaker 2: and you knew who you were, but you weren't. It's
Speaker 2: all prov It was just great, great.
Speaker 3: Can I just I'm not saying this because you were
Speaker 3: just like it. No, you did it perfect, Okay you
Speaker 3: but you the first time I saw you was like
Speaker 3: seeing like I was like, oh fuck, you could just
Speaker 3: do that, Like I remember it was like really early on.
Speaker 3: I think it was like and I was like trying
Speaker 3: to write jokes and it really wasn't working for me
Speaker 3: because it was like not really my thing, Like I'm
Speaker 3: not like a joke writer writer. I love being on
Speaker 3: stage and I love getting to some place with a
Speaker 3: with a group of people. And that's what you were doing,
Speaker 3: and you were so locked in and I couldn't tell
Speaker 3: I for you if they were jokes or improv which
Speaker 3: like that is that's a joke that I always do,
Speaker 3: the two paved peece. Oh is it ye?
Speaker 2: That you pulled the trick that I've been pulling my
Speaker 2: whole life because.
Speaker 3: I because I stole that from you. I stole that.
Speaker 2: No, I saw other people do it my first time,
Speaker 2: seeing like Jimmy Pardo, I saw ye, oh my god.
Speaker 3: He's so good at that.
Speaker 2: He's the best.
Speaker 3: Some people, Yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Feel like they're almost disappointed when not other comics though,
Speaker 2: when they find out, Oh he says that every time,
Speaker 2: I thought that was really good improv. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: at one point and it got to laugh, So you
Speaker 2: do it again. But the first time you talked about
Speaker 2: Golden Careless whispered tiny blonde tupe, that was probably just
Speaker 2: you know, talking on stage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't remember where. I'm sure it was like
Speaker 3: it was just because I don't really remember. Sometimes I
Speaker 3: don't record because I can't. I can't stay the sun
Speaker 3: of my own voice. But but I do like and
Speaker 3: Rory's really good at it, Like you and Rory were like.
Speaker 3: I was like, Oh, you could just do that. That
Speaker 3: sounds like that looks like so much more fun than
Speaker 3: try that to write a punchline, which I can't do
Speaker 3: if you had to, which I did have to and
Speaker 3: I did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you also had it where during the weekdays, your
Speaker 2: name is spelled er, I see, but come weekend it's
Speaker 2: E R i Q weekend Derek Baby.
Speaker 3: I didn't look at weekend because here I come that song.
Speaker 3: Oh look at weekend because here I come. Second.
Speaker 1: No, I've talked about this.
Speaker 3: Sorry we'll bleep it.
Speaker 2: And people are like, why did he just.
Speaker 3: Sware so much? He really let loose, He really wet.
Speaker 2: That was a long beat.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is there anything you want our audience to watch
Speaker 1: that you've done, or to watch in general, like a
Speaker 1: documentary or anything at all that you want to like
Speaker 1: button this conversation.
Speaker 3: With, well, we're okay, this is great. So because we're talking,
Speaker 3: we're talking about sports, right, and like the thirty for
Speaker 3: thirties and I think the best sports documentary thing even
Speaker 3: for even if you honestly truly if you don't like sports.
Speaker 3: I think it's just interesting on a human level. Is
Speaker 3: the Last Dance about Michael Michael Jordan and the Bulls,
Speaker 3: Like he's just an interesting He's such an interesting human
Speaker 3: being outside of sports, Like I can't believe we're all
Speaker 3: the same like humans, because he is just like such Aul. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like just such a focused, interesting, incredible person. To watch
Speaker 3: The Last Dan some Netflix. I had nothing to do.
Speaker 2: They don't they don't pay him to be likable all
Speaker 2: that time. Either he's like no, he's not, and he's
Speaker 2: open about it.
Speaker 3: And then like and just the personalities on it, like
Speaker 3: Phil Jackson is this like shaman dude, and like Steve Kerr.
Speaker 3: The Steve Kerr part is like, h really interesting because
Speaker 3: he his family the curves are like really big into uh,
Speaker 3: saving people during the Armenian genocide and they yeah, they
Speaker 3: opened up this orphanage in Beirut and they saved over
Speaker 3: ten thousand Armenian babies during the genocide. But it's incredible. Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: And so I was born in Bearroot, yeah, and I'm
Speaker 3: Armenian eleven one right, yeah, yeah, Okay, God, thank God.
Speaker 2: Have you been back there ever?
Speaker 3: Have you? No?
Speaker 2: No, it's kind of a hard place to.
Speaker 3: I've been to Dubai. Yeah, I really really want to.
Speaker 3: I want to go to Beirut in Palestine. And then
Speaker 3: for me myself, I have an album. It's okay, it's okay.
Speaker 3: It's called Nebraska Tuo. Wait, what's it called Nebraska Too.
Speaker 3: It's a spiritual sequel to Bruce Bristeen's Nebraska because because
Speaker 3: if you if you listen to that album Nebraska, it's
Speaker 3: all about New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: So I wanted to. I wanted to record an album
Speaker 3: in Nebraska called Nebraska Too. And it's on uh Special.
Speaker 1: Thing, Special Thing Records, Apple, Apple.

Speaker 3: to do specials.
Speaker 2: I don't listen to and listen to his thirty for
Speaker 2: thirty about Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to Nebraska Too, not the Bruce Bengstein.
Speaker 3: Right, you can do it. You could do it after
Speaker 3: maybe well you could.
Speaker 1: Do it before or after a reflection. But Eric de
Speaker 1: Duran's Nebraska Too is what you're looking for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it was great talking to you. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, no U without knowing that you're a great father.
Speaker 2: And uh, it'd be nice if you visited your hometown.

Speaker 3: has never been to California. Like ruins, my fucking ruins.
Speaker 1: You'll come, yea. But you should know you are one
Speaker 1: of the people, and lots of people have moved away.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's not you know totally. You don't
Speaker 1: feel isolated by that, and also know of all the
Speaker 1: people who have I would say easily and hands down,
