1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there with Elizabeth Perkins and we are

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: inventing shoe glue, something we had talked about for a

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,440
Speaker 1: long time. You know how it takes so long to

4
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: fix up your whole shoe, the string, the messy string. Yeah,

5
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: this is of course special glue where you take these pieces,

6
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: the shoe pieces, and you attach them to each other.

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: It would be a cobbler's best friend, thank you. So

8
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: this is what we were saying. The cobbler the job

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: as it is is so difficult, but with a special glue,

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: they only have to do it once and then it's

11
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: always on. And then you go to sleep. You don't

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: want to sleep in with your shoe getting everywhere, so

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: you put the special bag on it. Right.

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: So a couple of things that come up for me

15
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: as possible issues.

16
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: Do you glue? Do you end up gluing your hands

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: to your feet? So Elizabeth did do that a couple

18
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: of times. She developed a sort of way of moving

19
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: around after that. Right, Okay, that was actually very you know,

20
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 1: she's like a very physical actress.

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: She's a tumbler. I mean you can see that that's

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: in her background.

23
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Yes, And so she was able to incorporate that into

24
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: Wilma Flintstone. If you remember Wilma Flintstone's hands I'm remembering

25
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,279
Speaker 1: now are attached to kind of the heels of her feet.

26
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: But she was like, oh, this is like caveman stuff.

27
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: And it worked. It actually really did work.

28
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: It worked really well for me. And that's why that

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: movie is what it is. I mean, this is like

30
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: a cultural touchstone.

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: Yes, so we did end up using We didn't have

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: regular glue. We use soda. Soda we've discovered becoming get

33
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: when it gets on your hands, when it's when it

34
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: gets hot. So it's hot soda. It's pepsi twist, which

35
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: at the time people were really talking about what what

36
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: else can we do with this stuff? We were finding

37
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: new uses for pepsi twist. At the time, it was

38
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: like a very exciting discovery.

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: Well but yes, I when when pepsi twists first emerged

40
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 2: for our younger listeners or for people who just don't remember,

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: we knew we were onto something. We had something big

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: and we were happy, but we knew it didn't end it.

43
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Are we just gonna drink this? Yeah? It was the

44
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: diet sprite remix of its time. Yes, that's right, So

45
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: we finished the shoe, we realized we have our shoes

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: are stuck to each other's shoes. Mm hmm. So we

47
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: are sort of a rat king, of course, are you

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: familiar with that? Yes, when all.

49
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: You you know, you sort of cast all the rats

50
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: into the same area, saying like, get rid and we'll

51
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: get rid of this, we'll get rid of this, and

52
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: then they sort of emerge now as a giant ball

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: of one huge powerful rat comprised of all the many

54
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: sort of peasants that you cast out.

55
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: Yes, And then of course other people see us doing this,

56
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: and then they all start doing it too, and we

57
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: get huge. We become this huge ball. Yeah, it's sort

58
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: of like a flash mob. Yeah. So that was improv everywhere.

59
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: That was the beginning of improv everywhere. Hey, welcome to

60
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: Hollywood Handbook and Insider's Guide to kicking button dropping in

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: the red carpet line, back hallways. In this industry we

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: call showbiz. We love uh performers, we love stand ups,

63
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: we love laughing, we love hosts, we love writers, we

64
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: love book writers, we love television writers. Smart stuff. And

65
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: what if I was and it's what if I was

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: talking about I need to get fifty guests to have

67
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: all those things, but what if and so this could

68
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: actually we're not going to fit all those guests. So

69
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: imagine this. What if all those people could be one

70
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: person and it's one guy and his actual name is

71
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: also guy. So that's a little riddle. I wonder if this,

72
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: like if we think about who this could be, and

73
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: maybe someone in the room has an answer for who?

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: What this the answer to the riddle? Mm hmmm.

75
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 3: Can you say hello? I am Guy Brandham. I am

76
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 3: a television writer, a television host, stand up comedian, periodically performer.

77
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: And may I just say getting a hand cobbled shoe these.

78
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: Days, oh my god.

79
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: I mean it's hard with all of these mass produced

80
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Chinese shoes flooding the market.

81
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Yes, we don't like to weigh in on what is

82
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: I mean?

83
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: But also with the coming trade war, we have to

84
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 3: be prepared to meet America's needs on our own. Yes,

85
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: and I'm really excited that you're doing more to increase

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 3: like domestic shoe production. But you know, when I get

87
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: a hand cobbled shoe, I want the nails. I want

88
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: the little nails that are attaching the soul to I

89
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 3: just feel like there would be I would feel incomplete

90
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: with a glued.

91
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Shoe of costhmatic nails. I just want to say, just

92
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: the top part you can glue on, doesn't have the

93
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: pointy part, which is in my opinion, the worst part

94
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: of the nail. It has the top that glues on,

95
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 1: so it looks like it's stabbing through there. But I

96
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: can always tell. I can always tell.

97
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: And I think having the full nail is status thing,

98
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: and I think maybe it's time to let that go.

99
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 3: It really, I mean that's fair. I want to say

100
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 3: I'm worth this much nickel, you know, And maybe that's

101
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: me just being consumed in capitalism.

102
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we have to sort of recalibrate the

103
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: way we think about brands and how important it's been

104
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: traditionally to be the guy who has the nails in

105
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: your shoes so that everybody knows, you.

106
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Know, or just like a blob of like raw nickel. Yeah,

107
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: and to convert into into nail. This is not something

108
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: that everyone in the know. The economy the way it

109
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: is now, like not everyone has like the sheer nickel

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: to to make nails out of it.

111
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: I'm as guilty of it as everyone where, you know, obviously,

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: I had the chain with the big hunk of nickel

113
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: hanging off of it, and I would sort of, you know,

114
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 2: show up to the shoe store.

115
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: Can I ask you boys a question? There's been a

116
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 3: lot of talk recently about universal basic nickel Alexandria Cossio Cortez,

117
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders, and I say, do you think that that's

118
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 3: a good idea? It's going to stop people from working

119
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: hard to get the nickel you need.

120
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: So this is interesting. I watch I watch Alexandra Cortez. Yes,

121
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: I watch her to like do this thing, and to me,

122
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: it's like it's a big it's a good show, you know,

123
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: It's like it's like she's a great like performer.

124
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: I think the character is interesting. You're sort of crazy. Yes,

125
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 2: the stuff they're doing is so wild. I go like, okay,

126
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 2: what's next? You know?

127
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: Yes, but so I noticed that that, like where the

128
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: money is actually coming from, she won't say, and she's

129
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: not holding it. You know, if she were really ready

130
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: to back this up, like spending money on all these programs,

131
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: she would be like having it in her hands to

132
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: show me. But people are like where is it? And

133
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: she's like, oh, I guess it's somewhere else, Well, it's

134
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: tied up in key I don't have it on me

135
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: right now. It's tied up in electronic keyboards. Alexandra Cassio Cortez.

136
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: I mean, she's another one of these limousine liberals who

137
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: just because she grew up with all of that keyboard money,

138
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 3: thinks that everything you know does it. She's not thinking

139
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: about how it's gonna be paid for. I personally wasn't

140
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: that like analytical about her work early on, because I

141
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 3: just assumed she was a Sasha Baron Cohen character, of course,

142
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: getting in people's faces saying ridiculous things like everyone should

143
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: have healthcare. I thought, just a provocateur.

144
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: But then I did notice eventually I sort of thought

145
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: that too. But then I noticed that her face wasn't

146
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: like visibly melting off, which is lately a lot of

147
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: his characters have this interesting quality, which is that their

148
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: faces are huge, they look like they have multiple layers

149
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: of face under them, and they're the heat of the

150
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: light is making them a slip off the head. Well,

151
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: it's an interesting thing too, where a lot.

152
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: Of his characters have made the choice to clearly wear

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: a mask, you know, So it's like I think they've

154
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: done hours of makeup to create this new character, and

155
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: the character with who he's completely transformed, goes time to

156
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: put my mask on and he sort of clumsily half

157
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 2: applies it. Yeah, which I guess people do.

158
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: That, right, Yeah, well, aren't we all wearing masks?

159
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: Okay this again, Yeah we are.

160
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's tough with the Cassio, with the Casio woman,

161
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: just because if you grew up like me and Hayes,

162
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: we grew up in the Bronx and you had to

163
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: make your own samba one beat or samba two or

164
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: your marimba sound or ocarina sound. You couldn't just hit

165
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: a little keep trash candlids.

166
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: Brooms, these were our instruments.

167
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 3: I mean, we actually don't talk that much about the

168
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: extent to which nineteen seventies nineteen eighties electronics were appropriating

169
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: the experiences of other cultures, you know, like really just

170
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 3: sort of reaching out and saying, well, samba belongs to.

171
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Me now, Yes, that's right. And the demo song that

172
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: would play when you had the demo button on the

173
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: keyboard was a traditional song of for me and.

174
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: Trump, Yes, that had been ours. We came up with

175
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: that with brooms, Yes, trash candlids, a sponge that we

176
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: would squeeze close to the mic. You know, it's beautiful,

177
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 2: like you can imagine the sound that would make find

178
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: your sound?

179
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: So do you ever feel like like is really just

180
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 3: a picture of what your childhood was like? That the

181
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: Broadway show Stomp?

182
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: Sure?

183
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: Are you thinking of Shrek? Oh?

184
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 3: Shrek?

185
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 2: Shrek does does stop? Yes, he stops around. He's an

186
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: ogret and he is also I think in some ways

187
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: a good representation of how Hayes and I felt was

188
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: that no one truly saw us for who we were.

189
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: And I guess the other Broadway show I really like

190
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,239
Speaker 2: is the one with the animals.

191
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: In the Heights.

192
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes.

193
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: That was really a terrible choice for a bad answer

194
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: to that improv because it sounds terribly face.

195
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Do you want to well, do you want to just

196
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: walk it back while we have time? That was what

197
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: I assumed, Yes, yeah was, and Sean did say yes,

198
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: so do you want to now? Like, do me back

199
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: it up?

200
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: I guess right, Well, so for anyone who hasn't seen

201
00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 2: in the Heights, it's this amazing that you know exhibits

202
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: this beautiful culture. But what you don't know if you

203
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: haven't had backstage passes like me, a guy, is that

204
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: just off stage every time a character exits the scene

205
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: therein they are playing with turtles and stuff, and so

206
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 2: that to me is the Broadway play with the animals.

207
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh so you guys were that being We just love

208
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: how sweet they are with their little turtles.

209
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 3: I I'm sorry, I'm I'm bad at improv.

210
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: Well, you'll fit right in here.

211
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 3: The Paragua Man it was actually like a really daring innovation.

212
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: They cast a dolphin to play human character. It was

213
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: one of the first times you ever saw.

214
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: I think you're thinking of Portugal the Man.

215
00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: Oh, Portugal the Man. He is a pretty of great

216
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: pop hits and also a very fine country since they

217
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 3: got rid of the Salazar regime in the seventies.

218
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 5: Hmm.

219
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's say you talk about that a lot

220
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: in your memoir.

221
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: Oh hey, so you think you're making hilarious jokes. And

222
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: let's be clear, the Salazar regime does not come up

223
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 3: in my memoir. But they're like extinct species from Minorca

224
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: and Majorca do show up in my memoir.

225
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: They show up.

226
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 3: They show up as characters, well just sort of footnotes.

227
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: I like periodically I decide that I need to explain

228
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: something about my life with a reference that may not

229
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: make sense to absolutely everyone. So then I explained it

230
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: a lot in my book My Life is a Goddess.

231
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: Available on shelves today.

232
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 1: They could have been interesting narrators. Oh, some of these species,

233
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: because these are like they're in heaven and stuff. Huh,

234
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: be like the beginning of its wonderful life and heaven

235
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: for these creatures looking down at guy and they're sort

236
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: of watching your interesting life.

237
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 3: I mean that feels like a bold step from like

238
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: like respectable literature that hasn't been taken yet. I agree,

239
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: having like now extinct creatures narrates. Dang story. I feel

240
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: like you've almost won the Booker Prize, Hayes. It really

241
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 3: just takes pen and paper. But it's just called the

242
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 3: book Price. It's it's a booker is someone who writes

243
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: a book. Yes, but this one, this prize is just

244
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: called book Price. Actually I believe it's now called the

245
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: Man Book Prize.

246
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: Well now it can be anyone.

247
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: Oh really, yes, Oh that's exciting.

248
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: Yes, this is starting now. Thank good luck. Everybody get

249
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: in there now. Everyone's like, okay, here we go. Like

250
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a stampede, become a booker. H your book

251
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: so exciting, Thank you so much, so many adventures.

252
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 3: Yes, it is about me being sad in northern cal

253
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 3: and reading a lot and thinking a lot. And then

254
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: sometimes I talk about TV or movies that I watched

255
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: and the beach.

256
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: You go to the beach.

257
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 3: I don't really talk about going to the beach, but

258
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: I do love this.

259
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of implied, it's very strongly implied that you're

260
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: at the beach, you're near the beach.

261
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: I mean it takes place in California, so it is

262
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: a fundamentally coastal experience. It is something where sea air

263
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: infuses everything that's going on. But it really is sort

264
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: of the hydrological cycle from the Pacific Ocean to the

265
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 3: Sierra Nevada Mountains that really runs things. Because I grew

266
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: up in the Sacramento Valley, So it is that process

267
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: of evaporation and precipitation which allows all of the fruit

268
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: trees to grow and my homeland to be flooded and

269
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 3: be full of rich soil and a lot of there's

270
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 3: a lot of agriculture. For a celebrity memoir.

271
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: Now, Sacramento of course is kind of in the cultural ether.

272
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: Now with the movie Brad Status, Uh huh you talk

273
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: about has that? Do you feel like Brad's Status has

274
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: taken some of your individual Sacramento experience or was.

275
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: It like watching your own life unfold on the screen.

276
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 3: I personally was electrified because as a game end, when

277
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 3: I see a movie called Brad's Status, I assume that

278
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: this is going to be a heartfelt contemplation of a

279
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: person living with HIV. And let's be honest, it is

280
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: no longer a death sentence. It is a situation that

281
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: you live with. It is no longer necessarily a tragedy.

282
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 3: I was excited to see that Ben Stiller was there

283
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: and that we were going to tell a triumphant story

284
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: of brad Status. And then it was about a kid

285
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: getting into college. Uh, and I didn't watch it.

286
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: Don't don't spoil. I don't know if he gets into college.

287
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: I've only seen the first I.

288
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: Just assume everyone I know gets screeners, you know, so.

289
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well, in fact, I do get the screeners.

290
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: What I don't get is how they work.

291
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

292
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I kind of doesn't come with directions,

293
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: at least that I have been able to see.

294
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm reading them, and you know, put I put

295
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 2: them on the screen, like shove them up against the

296
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 2: front of the screen, and they're doing nothing for me.

297
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 3: You you hit the little you hit the little microphone

298
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 3: thing on your Apple TV remote and you say Apple

299
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: TV screener, and then it figures it out for you

300
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 3: and you look through the hole, the little hole at

301
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: the end.

302
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: To see that it's not in the end. Actually it's

303
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: in I guess kind of at the end, but it's

304
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: in like the middle part. You're saying the middle part, yes,

305
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: to see the should I should be clear too.

306
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: I don't often have the remote because I am in

307
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: a restaurant when I'm doing this, Okay, I don't have

308
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: a TV in my home.

309
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Very few places will give up control of the remote.

310
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll change the channel for you, but they won't

311
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: necessarily say like here you go go nuts.

312
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: I think consuming media communally is a beautiful choice. I mean,

313
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: we are so isolated in our lives these days.

314
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: Thank you.

315
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: When you know I want to watch the State of

316
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: the Union at a gin, I think, you know, being

317
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 3: surrounded by my you know, angelinos who are not wearing

318
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: who are not wealthy enough to be at equinox, but

319
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: are too wealthy to be a twenty four hour fitness

320
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: and hearing them cheering, reacting while on ellipticals, that's what

321
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: I want.

322
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: It's really firing them.

323
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: Up to I literally do have so fat that exact experience.

324
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 2: During the initial results of the election this year, I

325
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: was on an elliptical while as individual states got called

326
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: for Trump, a man two ellipticals away from me.

327
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: Would go yes.

328
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 2: So that happened to me in the Hollywood equinox.

329
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 3: And you didn't. You didn't punch him, and you are

330
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: thus complicit in our current eyes, I think.

331
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 2: So I was like, I was thinking, what do I do?

332
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: Like, what would I do? I don't like this? Why

333
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: are you what was strange? Why are you comfortable doing that?

334
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: But also your let's let's be fair here, Okay, I

335
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: can't let this go by. You're the one who went

336
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 3: to an equinox. Okay, You're the one who said, like,

337
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: will I get buddy with the people, or will I

338
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: put myself in, you know, an economically restrictive space. And

339
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,959
Speaker 3: you can't be surprised that this man was wanting, you know,

340
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 3: a tax cut for the highest like income brackets. So

341
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: that he can afford, you know, even more Keels products

342
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: at Equinox.

343
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's right.

344
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: I guess I'm I'm more like him than I am

345
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 2: like the people do.

346
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: I have to say? Your eye skin is amazing. The

347
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: products that they are giving you are.

348
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: Working the keels. Yeah, the Keel's eye butter that gives

349
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: you more liquid in your eye. I didn't realize before

350
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: how little, uh like, there's almost no butter in your eyes.

351
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: There was in there and it was just very water.

352
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't creamy at all.

353
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 3: Nothing's more useful than having like full luscious like for

354
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 3: for lack of a better term, zoft egg eyes.

355
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: You know, yes, wonderful curves now mmmm, yes, we do

356
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: want to do something with you, guy, if you have

357
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: just one second, if one second, I've got the time.

358
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: I know you have other shows to do. What other

359
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: shows are you doing to promote this book? Oh?

360
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: I am doing all of your favorite podcasts, throwing shade,

361
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 3: love it or leave it? Those one where I talked

362
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: about God. After this, I'm doing Ian Carmel's thing where

363
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to draft Canadians.

364
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: You gonna make it weird, guy?

365
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 3: Oh wait, oh no, I have weird.

366
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: You never mad it weird.

367
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 3: I've never made it weird. I have to I have

368
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 3: not been able to go through sort of like the

369
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 3: big respectable like white males, heterosexuals, cis gendered stand up

370
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 3: comedian asking questions and then gently talking about his own

371
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 3: career sort of you know, like icons episode, the icons

372
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: of of podcastry. I've really had to work my way

373
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 3: through a quirky ear set. And I have to say,

374
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: having two strapping heterosexual white men hosting a show that

375
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 3: I am doing makes me ask the question, what have

376
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 3: you guys done wrong? Okay, that's right, Why aren't you

377
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 3: part of that sort of like exalted strata of podcasts

378
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 3: that I'm not able to get on.

379
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: We don't strap ourselves for every show. That is something

380
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: we are doing just for this one because we have

381
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: a new engineer and just to remove some of the

382
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: variables for her Jordan, where like we're strapped in because

383
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: other like we don't want to have her like tracking

384
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: us around the room right as we like do our

385
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: big physical bits. This one we are keeping it in

386
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: the chair a little more contained.

387
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 4: It was really hard to strap you guys in, Like

388
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 4: you wouldn't stop.

389
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: Moving, Okay, wells for you, Thank you.

390
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: Okay, So I just want to say it an earthquake state.

391
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 2: Safe, So saying well, yes, can we talk a little

392
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: bit about what you can and can't have hanging on

393
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: the wall right behind your bed in an earthquake state?

394
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 3: Absolutely, as a native California And I think it's one

395
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 3: of those things that Sacramento having a moment in popular

396
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: culture is really raising awareness of, is what should or

397
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,360
Speaker 3: shouldn't you have hanging above your bed.

398
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: I have an upside down Rhinocero's head, which I've told

399
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: in an earthquake situation could be very unsafe.

400
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: Now have a question for Gore me is this but

401
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 3: is this one of those rhinos who has had their

402
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 3: horn medically removed so that people will not kill him

403
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 3: for Chinese medicine purposes or does it still have the horn?

404
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: It has a new horn. Oh that I give it. Huh,

405
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: it came without it. But it's new horn is a

406
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: party hat.

407
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: Oh it's adorable.

408
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Isn't that cute?

409
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 3: So I have to say, if like, it would be

410
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: really great to have a real rhino horn just above

411
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: the bed so that you could use the erection, the

412
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: Chinese medicine erection giving powers that it has. Just go

413
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: with a little like microplane and grass.

414
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: A little little nutmeg grater.

415
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just right into your mouth, right and then

416
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 3: go to town.

417
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, right before you go, Hey, just give me

418
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: one second and then you kind of get up and

419
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: just start like non on the horn.

420
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: It could be pretty cool. Can we just do the

421
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: thing that we wanted just for one second?

422
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 3: Guy?

423
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: Okay, we just do this one second? Yeah, Okay. We

424
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: have this guy here whose name is Chef Kevin. He's

425
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: really basic. He is the most boring basic burger pitch

426
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: who has ever lived.

427
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's a total herb.

428
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: Yes, you're familiar with the concept of a of a herb.

429
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm not.

430
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: Okay, you will be in one second, okay, But we

431
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: need ways to profit off of him. As part of

432
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: this show. We put his face on an apron. The

433
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: apron has not been selling very well, so we see, oh,

434
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: guys doing a good piece of business with this memoir.

435
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: Maybe we get Kevin to do his little memoir as well.

436
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 2: The memoir ultimately would really be an advertisement for the apron.

437
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: Yes, which we're underwater on.

438
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: You guys all floated a chutney line.

439
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: Oh that could be really interesting, and then they get

440
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 1: the chutney on the apron, they have to get a

441
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 1: new apron.

442
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: We intentionally make the chutney too messy and maybe don't

443
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 2: put the jar lid on all the way.

444
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: That could be pretty cool.

445
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 3: That's really smart.

446
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: Okay, let's but let's play out them. So we probably

447
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: will just do the chutney now.

448
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: But let's we don't even need to do the rest

449
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: of the episode really, because he kind of already sawd it.

450
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's do Kevin's memoir thing justin Deren and Bosha's

451
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: upset and he's sitting down. I could see him sitting

452
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: down even though he knows that he's going to come in.

453
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: Are you meditating out there?

454
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: Like?

455
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: I see you sitting just staring at nothing.

456
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, chef Kevin here. Yeah, the screen is not on. Technically,

457
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 4: it is to help get me in a little more

458
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 4: relaxed headspace before I come in here.

459
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that we would prefer you be more like up. Okay,

460
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: it's interesting that you think that's what you should be doing,

461
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 1: is to be like like somehow come in at a

462
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: lower energy than you normally do. Yeah, I mean you've

463
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 1: heard the episodes.

464
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 2: Right when you're hearing yourself speaking, are you thinking, man,

465
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: I gotta tone this down.

466
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: That's a good point.

467
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 4: No, I've I guess I've never thought that, but I've

468
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: thought maybe because I've been meditating.

469
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: I've it's I'm relaxed. Now you should be doing suicides.

470
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: That's a lot.

471
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: And then I'm gonna come in sweaty and stinky though,

472
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: and you're not gonna like that either.

473
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: Well, we'll see if I like it. We don't don't

474
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: tell me what. He don't tell me what. We try

475
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: it once, then Hayes tells you to do something else. Yes, okay,

476
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: and can we Hehi? Guy, thanks for guy. Hello, Okay, Jesus,

477
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: congrats on the book. I heard. It's awesome.

478
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 4: I'm so excited to read it.

479
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, Kevin, can I just learn a little

480
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 3: bit more about you as a chef?

481
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: Okay?

482
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 3: All right, here's my question for you, Kevin. If you

483
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: were doing the Top Chef Season one Quickfire challenge where

484
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 3: they had to go into a gas station and get

485
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: things from a gas station with only thirty dollars and

486
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 3: then make a real high end dish, I think you

487
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 3: remember it to people make Krispy Kreme bread pudding. I

488
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: believe leanne one. What would you make?

489
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 4: I would probably get donuts in a Snickers bar and

490
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 4: a mountain dew and make like a croissant with a

491
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 4: with like a dash of mountain dew.

492
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 2: I got a feeling when they showed up to judge,

493
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 2: like your meal from the quick Fire, you just be

494
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: just finishing polishing off speakers in mountain dew, having not

495
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 2: even touched a bad It'd be like I didn't get

496
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: it played at in time.

497
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: Do you make a croissant out of donuts? Multiple donuts? Yeah,

498
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: which they don't have every gas station by the way.

499
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, but what's the what's the brand? They're kind

500
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 4: of like they're in pacts of three.

501
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: The Package ones. Yeah, the Drake Ones. Yeah, Drake Donuts.

502
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 3: Okay. I just had a nice no stop.

503
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: Yep.

504
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: You're on the West Coast now, I mean, like, you

505
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 3: guys live here and you enjoy our weather. Don't fucking

506
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: play a Drake's Cakes game here. This is Hostess Country

507
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 3: or Dolly Madison. You have some goddamn respect.

508
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: Hero Napsterville, Illinois. I'm just speaking his language.

509
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 3: I don't care. You're in LA, right, now it's not

510
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: humid act like it.

511
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 1: I didn't even do it.

512
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. I'm sorry about that.

513
00:26:55,560 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: That's donuts. So uh but I had an idea, which

514
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: is if we can get to.

515
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: Jory, and I just want to say, normally, when the

516
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: host gets like that with me, normally the engineer will

517
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: protect me.

518
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, well as a guest, I mean he's

519
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: become the host because he has dominated us.

520
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: Well, he is a host. Yes, wait, I thought all

521
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: of you were strapped in, did you.

522
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: Well, somehow has managed to loosen his straps and was

523
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: able to just destroy us.

524
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: And so usually there will be a diving. Usually I

525
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: will see an engineer Sam, usually an Angie Ryan diving

526
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: in front of me when something like that happens. And

527
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 1: I was looking and I did not see that, And

528
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: then I looked at you were and you were still

529
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: in here.

530
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: I wanted to to just shoot Andrew t of yo

531
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 3: is this racist? And like a daring a very daring

532
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 3: and brave engineer jumped in front of him, took a bullet.

533
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: It's still in a coma engineer, Frank and I like,

534
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 3: I had to have respect for that. And Andrew and

535
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 3: I are better now.

536
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 4: I have to learn so much.

537
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: What precipitated the attempt at assassination? Was he saying that

538
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: it wasn't racist, or that it.

539
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 3: Was he was saying that it was racist?

540
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: Okay, come on, in everything can't.

541
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 3: Be I just had a little moment of white fragility,

542
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: and so you know, I did what you would expect.

543
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I did have an idea. And it's maybe

544
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: too long ago to go back to this, but whoever

545
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: does have a contact with Alexandria Cassio Cortez his people,

546
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: it could be a cool prank type character to get

547
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,719
Speaker 2: onto Top Chef and then every time they say go

548
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: for the challenge to just eat the.

549
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 5: Food, to walk over and be like, hey, what's working on, Andrew?

550
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 2: And then it's like, oh, I'm making anochi from the

551
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 2: bit and then go like, oh, it sounds pretty good.

552
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 2: It's just start munching and you might be able to

553
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: make it a couple of weeks by now being actively bad.

554
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 2: There usually is somebody who makes something disgusting in the

555
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: first like three episodes, and you could skate by.

556
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: I would really like that. So Kevin, we're helping you

557
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: with your memoirs. Of course, the famous thing that we've

558
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 1: been doing for a long time. Now, Okay, Guy is

559
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: here to help you spice up some of your life stories.

560
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: If you could just tell Guy one of your best stories, okay,

561
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: kind of like the one that you told us last

562
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: week about some like internet conversation you had that was

563
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: very boring.

564
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: Remember there was one about going three weeks early to

565
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: try to see the Mister Rogers documentary.

566
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: It was a pretty good story.

567
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 4: Yes, so when the well, when I thought the Mister

568
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 4: Rogers documentary, no, don't tell that story.

569
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: No, but just give us some week. Ione heard that one.

570
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: But I we're just giving you examples.

571
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 4: I saw Equalizer two in theaters and there was no

572
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 4: one there. Well, there was a couple of people there,

573
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 4: and the guy behind me snored through the last hour

574
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: and it was distracting me, and I didn't know do

575
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 4: I Like, I didn't feel comfortable like waking him up

576
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 4: or shouting or something, so I just kind of took

577
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 4: it and he just snored over the last.

578
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: But there was only a couple of people there. When you

579
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: just move seats, that was.

580
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 3: This is chapter one, all right. No, I think that

581
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: this is a beautiful story to start out with because

582
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 3: I think what a book needs these days. Let's be honest.

583
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: You're you're not a major celebrity or a mid level celebrity.

584
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 3: You be with Yeah, you have to have an angle

585
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: that is sort of like leveraging these stories that are

586
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 3: still Hollywood and glossy and making them relatable to people.

587
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 3: And I think that that really is a story about

588
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 3: you tell the world how to treat you. Okay, you

589
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 3: go into this world and you're sending out messages about

590
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: what you're worth, and what you're saying to the universe

591
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: is I am worth having someone snore so that I

592
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: cannot properly hear equalizer two?

593
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: That's true. And I didn't even move seats.

594
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 3: Were you at a theater that had a signed seats?

595
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 3: Were you at the arc Light?

596
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

597
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 4: And I feel an obligation to stay in that seat.

598
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And you know, at this point in American democracy,

599
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: the rule of law is like hanging on by a

600
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 3: tenuous threat, and it really does take strong Americans like

601
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 3: you believing in and supporting the law as it exists,

602
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: even though you could get away with something. And I

603
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 3: really feel like there's some political grandstanding there that won't

604
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: be at all valuable for promotion. You need to go

605
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: conservative with this book, Okay, you need to say. And

606
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: then I shot that guy because I was somewhat scared

607
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 3: of him, And that's okay, And I should have a

608
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: gun with me at all times.

609
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: Is there any other stories I could tell that maybe

610
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 4: would have a different angle.

611
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: You're the one with your own story story before, so

612
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: let me ask you a question.

613
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 4: We've got a couple of times that's okay, Yeah, four

614
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 4: or five times?

615
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 3: Wait you were here for yes, Yeah, I'm sorry.

616
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: That's okay. Maybe that's the story. Imagine remembering, Imagine being like,

617
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: oh yeah, Kevin, that guy left a really big impression

618
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: on me.

619
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 3: Okay, that would disturbed. He is a beautiful little boy.

620
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 3: He's got facial hair that's growing that looks like it

621
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: didn't grow from his face. It looks like he was

622
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 3: in a fifth grade production of Our Town and someone

623
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 3: used spirit gum to apply it to his face. Kevin,

624
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 3: can I ask you a question?

625
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: Sure?

626
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, let me just say, next time

627
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 3: you meet me, make an impression. But the other thing

628
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 3: is at a in a darker moment in my career,

629
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: I go strote a book for one of the men

630
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: on million dollar listing LA, and so I wanted to

631
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: just say to you, have you ever sold a house

632
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: in the bird streets of West Hollywood? Because if so,

633
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: I can turn this into a book.

634
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: What's the closest thing you have to that experience?

635
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 4: While I sold my car last year and my neighbor

636
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 4: asked for my parking spot. And when she said, humba,

637
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 4: I give you a hundred, I said, okay, it's one

638
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 4: hundred dollars. And she said, how's fifty And I said no,

639
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 4: and she said, we're doing fifty.

640
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: And I said, so now every couple of.

641
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 4: Months she pays me and I have to ask her.

642
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 4: She normally doesn't pay me.

643
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: So like that's pretty simmlar. So that kind of negotiation

644
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: is a little similar to the million dollar listing fifty

645
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: dollars park expot.

646
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 3: So this really is a business book. This is a

647
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 3: book like I think it's somewhere it's in self help,

648
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 3: but it's somewhere in between business and like you know,

649
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: like talking about confidence.

650
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 2: Well, the entrepreneurial spirit is still alive in America, and

651
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: I feel like Kevin's the best example of that.

652
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 3: But also I believe Kevin like going on a journey

653
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 3: in your own life during the process of writing this book,

654
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 3: where you go from thinking, hey, my parking spot is

655
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 3: only worth what she tells me to saying, hey, my

656
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: parking spot is worth at least eighty five dollars. Yeah,

657
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: you know, I think that could be a beautiful journey.

658
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

659
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,719
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm sharing all of these stories of what I

660
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: did wrong so that the reader knows what to do right.

661
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: One thing you could do is stack up a bunch

662
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 2: of pumpkins in the parking spot and go, hey, I'm

663
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: not moving these pumpkins until you pay me what's really worth.

664
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: And then afterwards you could like make a pie.

665
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 3: I mean, what is but what is he supposed to

666
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 3: do during the spring, summer and I mean winter. I

667
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 3: guess you still have false squashes, But I mean during

668
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 3: the summertime you think he's going to be able to

669
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 3: get enough.

670
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: Winter Christmas trees. Summer maybe some kind of like playground

671
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: or something for kids. There's a lot of stuff that

672
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: you can do with this parking spot year round.

673
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: And in summer, maybe you put a bunch of super

674
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: soakers in there, and then when she tries to park.

675
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: You blaster. What if that's the book?

676
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 4: Each chapter is like a different season and how it

677
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 4: went putting different stuff in the parking space.

678
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a okay.

679
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: How much of a historical view of the of the

680
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: parking space would we get, Would we look back to

681
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 3: a point in time that it was like co opted

682
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 3: from Native American people's would would it be a book

683
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 3: fundamentally about how all land in this country is that?

684
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 4: Yeah?

685
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: I noticed we never heard how Kevin got the parking

686
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: space in the first place. I have a feeling it

687
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: could possibly have been stolen from Native Americans. Does that

688
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: ring a bell, Kevin.

689
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 4: We don't have to go through the history. We could

690
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 4: just start at the present time.

691
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 3: But that's the adventure, Kevin, I feel like you really

692
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 3: need to tell I mean, if you tell a story

693
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: that begins with you being fixed, it's not a story.

694
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 3: But if you give us an adventure and you say, hey,

695
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: I used to be someone who stole parking spaces from

696
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 3: Native Americans, but now I'm a better I think that

697
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 3: that's good, not great. What's great is I started out better,

698
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 3: now I am someone who steals parking spaces from Native Americans.

699
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: Because we need more conservative pundits, we don't have enough.

700
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 2: I'd love to see you break bad. Read the parking spot, Kevin.

701
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 2: You have a friend named Darius.

702
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: You know that's right? Guy? Can we do anything with that?

703
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 4: Built a dresser for me yesterday?

704
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: Are we talking about all in a single day?

705
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: Yeah?

706
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 4: Yesterday? After work I told him I bought a dresser and.

707
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 3: Is keen el from a fairytale? Does he cobble shoes?

708
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 3: Because I've been looking.

709
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 4: I wish No, He's just really good at building stuff. Okay,

710
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 4: So I sat on my bed and complained about work

711
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 4: as he built.

712
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: A dresser for three hours.

713
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 4: You say, I just said, you know, times are tough,

714
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 4: and you know specifics.

715
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 3: Did you mention that guy never remembers you?

716
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

717
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 4: I was like, well, I saw him when Howard was

718
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: on the couch, and this was the second time I've

719
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 4: seen him, and he he's he introduced himself again, And

720
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 4: at this point I didn't say like, oh, yeah, we've met.

721
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 4: So I guess it was on me.

722
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: You're doing a different glasses thing than that you don't

723
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: always do.

724
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm wearing them today.

725
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 3: Has it ever crossed your mind that I am just

726
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: pretending to not remember you because I am enchanted by

727
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 3: your narrow waist? And you know, boyish complexion, and I'm

728
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: trying to not make this seem uncomfortable. We all saw

729
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 3: what happened, so lest Moon bests, that's true.

730
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: I guess I should be thanking.

731
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 3: So like Darius, the construction of this of this dresser,

732
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: did it represent an emotional journey for him or the

733
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 3: two of you? Was he getting over the loss of

734
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: a small child? Something under six? I mean once we

735
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: get into school aged years, it's not as emotional. But

736
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 3: was this really like a woman under the I was

737
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 3: trying to remember the name of a book that mom's

738
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 3: read in the nineties, but I really couldn't sure.

739
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, me too, Yeah, probably right. You were trying to

740
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: do that too, Yeah, Why trying to remember the name

741
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: of a book that women read in the nineties for

742
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: her to help guides for Daniel Steele?

743
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 3: Thing now more like more like Knights and Rope, Dancy

744
00:37:55,960 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 3: snowfalling on cedars, like I had a great Prince of Tie,

745
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: I had jo Club.

746
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of success with Amy Tan references

747
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks.

748
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 3: I mean, look, at the end of the day, I'm

749
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: always going to be a Maxine Hank Kingston Man but

750
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 3: Amy Tan she did a whole lot to take that

751
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 3: mainstream and also gave us the joy Let Club movie.

752
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 3: And anytime Rosslyn Child gets work, this guy's happy. So sorry, Kevin,

753
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: you were telling me what Darius was working through in

754
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 3: the process of building that that dresser.

755
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he is like working through his own career.

756
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 4: He's trying to, you know, build up from nothing, and

757
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 4: so he's working just with simple pieces of wood and

758
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 4: trying to build something beautiful.

759
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: Are you comfortable being sort of like a Nick Carroway

760
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: in your own memoir where you're really just observing somebody

761
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 3: else's more interesting journey through and around American capitalism.

762
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that'd be kind of fun. I call that.

763
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: I call that, I call being Nick Carroway.

764
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 3: I call it.

765
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sorry, Kevin, that's okay. So I guess no, I

766
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: got that was a good name for your cool character

767
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: in the book too. Hell yeah, your favorite seed?

768
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 2: Oh yes, No, it can be so good in like

769
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: Havarti or whatever.

770
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,320
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, it's a lot of liquorice flavor.

771
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: I like.

772
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: For me, if you're going with a liquorice flavored seed,

773
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: I'm always gonna go Fennel.

774
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: Okay, and I respect that.

775
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think I stated pretty clearly that it's

776
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 2: in like a Havardi, so like there's like a nice

777
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: sort of creaminess.

778
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair. That's fair.

779
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: Kevin. Do you have any stories from like your childhood

780
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: that we could workshop sure?

781
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 4: I got lost in the woods once when I went

782
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 4: on a run.

783
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 1: Run as a child.

784
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that called going on a run at that point, Yeah,

785
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 2: just called running.

786
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. This gives so much context and emotional weight

787
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 3: to your narrow waiste. And are we completely ignoring the

788
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 3: possibility that this is a book about surviving body image

789
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 3: issues and possible sort of like like food issues.

790
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 4: That's great. I think that's that's definitely the path we

791
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 4: should go.

792
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: Food issues for chef Kevin. Yeah.

793
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's a journey. That's a full circle.

794
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin, can I get something? And Jordan, I need

795
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 2: you to look alive just real quick while we have you.

796
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 2: We need to plug in you saying something to protect

797
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: our guest, can you just say in the heights, in

798
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 2: the heights, Oh heaven Jesus man, God.

799
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 5: No.

800
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 1: Terrible specific Come on, Kevin. You did get that, Jordan, Yeah,

801
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: I got it.

802
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 3: I feel terrible. Why didn't I just say mom and Mia?

803
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 3: Why didn't I just say Mama? That would have crushed hilarious. Oh,

804
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 3: here's a question, just for the sake of your memoir.

805
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 3: Do you know definitively who your father is? And did

806
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 3: your mother ever own an inn on a Greek island?

807
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 3: Because if so, I think we may have an angle.

808
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:13,720
Speaker 1: No, but they can. What's your closest life connection to

809
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: to that kind of thing?

810
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 4: My parents own a house in Wisconsin and they think

811
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: it's like super rad.

812
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 3: Are we talking like Door County or load Eye.

813
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 4: It's a very small town's population like two thousands a lakehouse.

814
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry. If you're doing upscale vacationing in Wisconsin,

815
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 3: I want Door County or the Dales Like I'm not.

816
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:43,399
Speaker 3: I'm not fucking around with this shit. Yeah, I mean,

817
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 3: just look, there are a lot of lakes up there.

818
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 3: We've all got lakes up there. But you know something,

819
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 3: something charming, like on Lake Michigan. That's what I'm looking at,

820
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 3: some self respect.

821
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 4: I agree, it's a it's embarrassing for them.

822
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 2: Load eye load I lay like a load eye horseshit

823
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: to me, Hey, leave them alone.

824
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: That was great, really funny. Right, those are my best friends.

825
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 3: So is it possible that your mother, during the course

826
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 3: of one of her rapturous summers in load Ee, Wisconsin,

827
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 3: was actually romanced by three separate men, all of whom

828
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: might be your father.

829
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 4: No, she was like, she stayed at home. I feel like,

830
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 4: now in her life, maybe this is my Nick Caraway thing.

831
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 4: I feel like she's now like realizing like I have

832
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 4: a life and I'm gonna go do cool things. And

833
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 4: so she's kind of like going on trips and being

834
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,320
Speaker 4: independent and fun and I'm like, that's kind of awesome.

835
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 1: So maybe like that's the story. I don't think. I

836
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: don't think that happens in any Nick Carraway stories.

837
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 4: Oh, I just felt like I'm observing it, like from

838
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 4: a distance.

839
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 3: Okay, we've got an adult child observing their their mom

840
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,919
Speaker 3: who's going on her own journey. Just have to ask,

841
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 3: does she have three friends who also all immigrated to

842
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 3: Wisconsin from Illinois and they all have children and you

843
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 3: guys are learning to relate to each other. To take

844
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 3: this back to Hayes's joy Luck Club point, like do

845
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 3: you have some sort of white, more accessible joy lu Club.

846
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 2: And does she also have her groove or does she

847
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: possibly need to get hit.

848
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a real question we all have to

849
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 3: ask her in the course of writing a book.

850
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: I think she's getting her groove.

851
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 4: And yes, there are some Illinois immigrants that are coming

852
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 4: to Wisconsin who are the same age as me, so

853
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 4: maybe there's some parallels here.

854
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 3: Kevin, let me ask you just an honest question. How

855
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 3: old is your mom fifty four? Okay, let's say, and

856
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 3: she's still married to your.

857
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: Dad fifty five?

858
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, let's say she happened.

859
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: Fifty six fifty sorry, Yeah, she's getting old very fast.

860
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: We gotta hurry.

861
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 3: She fucks a dude, She fucks a dude, not your dad.

862
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,400
Speaker 3: Does not break up with him. I mean, it's just

863
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 3: for the rest of her life happier, happier and in

864
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 3: a better mood. Yeah, Like her life is better and

865
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 3: more healed now your father's healings aside. Would you be

866
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 3: happy and comfortable with that or would that fundamentally tear

867
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 3: you apart?

868
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 1: I have so many mixed emotions.

869
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 4: I'd be happy that she's happy, but I feel like

870
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 4: it would change our relationship because she has this lifelong

871
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 4: lie she's been keeping from me, but maybe it was

872
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 4: to protect me.

873
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 1: Will it change your relationship when she listens to this show,

874
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: which she often does.

875
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, she told me she heard that I do my

876
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 4: mom thing and I told her she should stop listening.

877
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, so that might change it.

878
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 2: But it feels like the kind of thing she could

879
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: have just blown past as well, didn't necessarily have to

880
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 2: call you tell me.

881
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

882
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 3: And his mom's creation of drama is what you get

883
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 3: a book out of having just like a low key

884
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 3: life where you look at Darius do things while you

885
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 3: yourself are inactive, you know. I mean, the novel really

886
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: is the medium best suited to that. It is an

887
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 3: internal story, but I just feel like we need more.

888
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 3: And frankly, Kevin's mom is doing most of the work

889
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: of what I've heard, for creating interesting, compelling storytelling, we.

890
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: Know is really doing most of the work. Guy is you.

891
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: I wonder if this memoir is like the Guy Sessions,

892
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: and it's sort of all the stories of like the

893
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: times you met on the couch or the times that

894
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 2: you were able to reframe the story, or how you

895
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: built a new relationship for Kevin with his mom and

896
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 2: with Darius, Like.

897
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 3: I love that, and I just want to guess, and

898
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 3: you what if it's Tuesdays with Guy, Yes, okay or no,

899
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: even better the five guys you meet in heaven. And

900
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 3: so it's Kevin going and he goes to heaven and

901
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 3: he meets me and like four animals all named Guy

902
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 3: who had gone extinct at various points in time, and

903
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 3: then they sort of like guide him through the choices

904
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 3: he needs to think and then he un dies and

905
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: comes back to Earth and builds his own dresser.

906
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 1: That's the callback. We got the animals in heaven and

907
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: building a dresser. So that is what that's what we

908
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: wrap up the show on. Okay, Yeah, And of course

909
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: it is.

910
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 2: This is also a callback to a joke I did

911
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 2: maybe two hundred episodes ago where Tuesdays with Morey was

912
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 2: the answer.

913
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 1: To the question what's your favorite album? Bye
